Published: February 2025

Sexual disorders in neurological diseases occur in a significant number of patients. However, domestic scientific research on this topic in recent decades is practically absent.
This work provides an overview of the frequency of occurrence and features of clinical manifestations of sexual dysfunction (SD) in various neurological diseases according to a review of foreign scientific publications. The review covers neurological conditions such as traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
Based on the analysis of scientific works, the authors analyzed the clinical features of SD in patients with various neurological diseases, determined the risk factors and mechanisms of the development of SD and the impact of this problem on the quality of life of patients. The authors draw attention to the need for an open discussion of aspects of sexual activity between medical professionals and patients to improve the quality of life of the latter. The limitation of therapeutic possibilities in the treatment of DM is also noted, as well as the need to raise the awareness of doctors about the problem. The article also suggests directions for further research in this area.

Hunting Dorian:
Authors: Guerrero-García María Cristina
Published: February 2025

Drawing on Dennis Denisoff's “Oscar Wilde's Conviction, Speciesism, andthe Pain of Individualism”, collected by Julia M. Wright in A Companion toIrish Literature, the aim of this paper is to highlight the use of animalimagery in some of Oscar Wilde's works written between 1885 and 1891,starting with his short stories and ending with his novel, The Picture ofDorian Gray.We will begin by confirming Wilde's association of animal suffering withsocial denunciation in several of his works, some of which were writtenafter the novel. We will continue to briefly review the role of animals in theliterary tales collected in The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888), both asprotagonists and as narrators of “human fables”. From A House ofPomegranates (1891), we will briefly analyse “The Star-Child”. Finally, wewill look at three perspectives of the animal world that Wilde takes in hisonly novel: the creation of characters and scenes, hunting and vivisection.From this analysis, we will see how animals could supplant humans andthat when Dorian Gray is most in touch with his instincts, he is sometimeshunter and sometimes prey. We will also note how a change in British lawregarding vivisection a few years before the novel's publication, may bereflected in two crucial moments in the text.

Across Rivers and Selves: Mobile Identities in 19th-Century American Literature of Enslavement and Escape
Authors:   Technical University of Dortmund, Furlanetto Elena
Published: February 2025

The history of slavery is also a history of mobility: as the enslaved resisted, were displaced or replaced, planned insurrections, devised escape routes both fictional and historical, they did have geographical agency. In response to Orlando Patterson’s understanding of slavery as corpse-like immobility and a permanent condition of living death, it can also be read through the prism of movement. This article starts from this assumption to complicate the issue of enslaved mobility as geographical as well as existential. My focus is on the proximity between geographical movement to freedom on roads and across rivers and borders, and the identity metamorphoses that accompany it. I perform close readings from 19th-century African American narratives of enslavement and escape that capture bonded individuals in the mo(ve)ment of geographical and existential transit. The characters of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) and Charles W. Chesnutt’s The Conjure Woman (1899) move not only across land, but also across selves. For the fugitive, escaping bondage meant adopting fictional identities to avoid detection and capture; “passing” in terms of race is one of the most common, but racial camouflage is often accompanied by crossings of gender, dis/ability, and age lines. This article’s primary aim is to recast escape not as a linear trajectory but as a chain of interlocked mobilities, and study the existential movements that radiate from the experience of crossing the borders to the Northern states.
Mobility and Identity in Ladee Hubbard’s The Talented Ribkins
Authors:   Florida State University, Williams Crawford Cameron
Published: February 2025

This article examines themes of mobility and identity Ladee Hubbard’s The Talented Ribkins (2017). I use the lens of mobility studies to closely analyze the novel’s two primary characters, Johnny and Eloise, and the ways in which their cross-Florida road trip is both a literal and symbolic journey to self-discovery for each. In addition, I look at W.E.B. Du Bois and Zora Neale Hurston as inspiration for Hubbard’s novel and explore the role of storytelling as central to each character’s process of identity formation. I furthermore consider the novel’s Florida setting as particularly fertile ground for interrogations of mobility, given the state’s place in the literary and national imaginations as a nexus of movement, ultimately asserting that reading The Talented Ribkins within this context can only illuminate its commentary on racial justice.
Transnationality and Incorporation in the American Road: Valeria Luiselli’s Lost Children Archive (2019)
Authors:   Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Moura Catarina
Published: February 2025

Often set in the mythical landscapes of the American West, the American road narrative conveys the promise of spatial and social mobility that characterize the American Dream and that are made possible by going on the road. Nevertheless, this idea of mobility has been reserved to traditional road heroes—white, heteronormative men—and systemically excluded minorities from accessing the road in the same terms. Consequently, this had an impact on how American road narratives written by and about minorities have been received and analyzed. This article aims to analyze the novel Lost Children Archive (2019), written by Mexican-American author Valeria Luiselli, therefore applying a transnational perspective to the American road narrative genre. Drawing on Ann Brigham’s concept of incorporation, it aims to understand how this narrative is positioned in the matrix of the genre and how it is able to deconstruct the hegemonic discourses that shape it.
“Jus’ hol’ yuh breath an’ kick”: Queer Self-Made Womanhood in Nicole Dennis-Benn’s “Swimmer”
Authors:   Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal, Pereira Teresa
Published: February 2025

This article performs a close reading of the essay “Swimmer,” written by the Jamaican American novelist Nicole Dennis-Benn and published in the anthology The Good Immigrant USA: 26 Writers Reflect on America (2019). On the one hand, “Swimmer” endorses the myths of the self-made man and the American dream by describing the remarkable achievements of its author, regardless of all the obstacles in her way. On the other hand, though, it questions the American success mythology by shedding light on the hardships faced by migrants. As a result, this article considers the following research questions: “Does Nicole Dennis-Benn’s ‘Swimmer’ both legitimize and challenge the myth of the self-made man and, by extension, the myth of the American dream?” and, if so, “In which way are the myths of the self-made man and of the American dream simultaneously celebrated and questioned in ‘Swimmer’?”. To do so, this analysis adopts an approach located within the field of cultural studies, embracing its interdisciplinary nature and combining literary studies with American and Jamaican history and culture, while departing from Heike Paul’s problematization of American myths in The Myths that Made America: An Introduction to American Studies (2014).
Controlling Migration: How Martha of the North and Exile Reclaim Inuit Sovereignty
Authors:   Queen’s University, Bulger Lara
Published: February 2025

In the twenty-first century, there is increased awareness in Canada about the horrors of residential schools and the destructive actions of the government towards First Nations peoples. But this education has not extended to the histories of Arctic Indigenous peoples, whose experience of settler colonialism is different because of their geographical location. Until outside intervention, Inuit had been semi-nomadic, populating the North with small, mobile communities, as this way of life was best suited for hunting and traditional practices. Beginning in the 1950s, the Canadian government forced Inuit into centralized communities, pressuring them to leave their lands and thereby destroying a traditional way of life that had been in place for thousands of years. This article will explore the negative consequences of ‘domicide’, or the killing of one’s home, and the cultural devastation that followed. Years later, the relocation and its impacts were depicted in Inuit-made documentaries, such as Marquise Lepage’s Martha of the North in 2008, and Exile by Zacharias Kunuk in 2009. In this chapter, I will detail how Inuit-made film is helping Northerners reclaim Arctic sovereignty, documenting for future generations how their ancestors lived.
THE EFFECT OF ACE’S ON PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES OF HEALTH
Authors: Metz Jason , Koenig Ryan , Robertson Chelsea
Published: February 2025

https://youtu.be/RzKWRGm-J34

BACKGROUND

The aim of this study was to determine if Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) are related to physiological measures of health. ACE’s are associated with an increase in the inflammatory response. Chronic inflammation is linked to diseases such as heart disease, lung disease, and cancer as well as immunologic conditions. Lifestyle choices such as exercise and dietary habits may potentially counteract those inflammatory changes related to higher ACE’s due to the anti-inflammatory properties associated with those choices.

METHODS

Participants visited the Exercise Physiology Lab and first completed an informed consent. Following that, participants were given the two survey instruments: ACE’s assessment and Simple 7 assessment. Participants were to complete each survey assessment and place the completed assessments in a sealed manilla envelope. After completing the survey instruments, participants had resting blood pressure, height, weight and body composition (Tanita body fat scale) measurements completed. Following the resting measures participants put on a Polar telemetry strap and started a self-selected warm-up on the treadmill. After a 5-min warm-up, participants started a Bruce Protocol treadmill test that was terminated at 80% of age-predicted maximum heart rate or a request to stop or for any reason signifying cardiopulmonary distress . A correlational analysis was conducted using SPSS v30.

RESULTS

In total12 participants (8 female, 4 male) were analyzed. Body mass index (BMI) and age of first occurrence for the ACE’s assessment were correlated, p = 0.045, r = -0.587. Other correlations were trending towards significance but due to a smaller sample size, significance was not achieved. ACE’s and stage RPE (p = 0.084, r = 0.519), heart rate at test termination (p = 0.054, r = 0.568) and resting arterial pulse pressure (p = 0.097, r = -0.502) were not significantly correlated. ACE’s assessment part 2 regarding support systems had a trending correlation with resting mean arterial pressure (p = 0.097, r = -0.501).

CONCLUSIONS

ACE’s may have a long-term physiological impact from psychological stress at a younger age. Data showed those with an earlier age of adverse experiences, correlated with a higher BMI. High BMI is associated with many chronic diseases such as heart disease, lung disease, metabolic diseases and cancer. With other data trending toward significance, further investigation into ACE’s and health values should be explored to determine the long-term impact of psychological damage from childhood.

Published: February 2025

This chapter reviews current research evidence for emotional biases in attention, memory, and interpretation in depression and anxiety, as well as how these biases influence each other to maintain negative information-processing. The chapter outlines how interacting information-processing biases may dysregulate affective and social-behavioral mechanisms such as emotional responding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal functioning to fuel symptoms of depression and anxiety. It concludes with clinical recommendations, pointers for when communicating with people with depression and anxiety, and promising directions for future research.
Network Interventions to Improve Search and Facilitate Research-Practice Transfer
Authors: Neal Jennifer Watling , Neal Zachary P.
Published: February 2025

Research-practice transfer involves bidirectional communication between researchers and practitioners, while the research-practice gap refers to breakdowns in this communication. Network interventions are often viewed as a promising way to bridge this gap. However the focus has primarily been on interventions designed to facilitate researchers' ability to push out (i.e., disseminate) their research. In this study, we propose three simple network interventions designed to facilitate practitioners' ability to pull in (i.e., search for) useful research: (1) relying on multiple sources of information to avoid dead ends, (2) relying on well-connected sources of information to avoid echo chambers and (3) relying on sources of information outside their own community to reach brokers. Simulations suggest that all three interventions improve both the success and efficiency of practitioners' search for researchers in their social networks. We conclude with a discussion of how and where these network interventions might be useful.
Democratizing AI’s Frontiers: A Critical Review of DeepSeek AI’s Open-Source Ecosystem
Authors: Abraham Razii
Published: February 2025

DeepSeek AI has quickly grown into one of the most formidable contributors to the open-source artificial intelligence landscape, making robust inroads in large language modeling (LLMs), code generation and analysis, mathematical reasoning, reinforcement learning–based reasoning and multimodal architectures. Its latest release, DeepSeek-R1, is rapidly becoming the talk of the town, demonstrating near-parity with proprietary titans like OpenAI-o1 but at a dramatically lower training cost and with openly shared model weights. Rather than simply applauding DeepSeek’s achievements as disjointed model releases, this review delves into the strategic foundations behind its success. I contend that DeepSeek’s impact is rooted in a threefold structure: a deliberate transfer of innovations across multiple research verticals, a commitment to engineering solutions that cut down cost and resource overhead, and a guiding principle of open-sourcing advanced model families.Herein, I dissect DeepSeek’s progression toward Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures for LLMs, the repository-level training methodology at the heart of DeepSeek-Coder, the reinforcement learning breakthroughs showcased in DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeekMath, and the decoupled vision-language frameworks in DeepSeek-VL and Janus. By weaving together these seemingly distinct domains, I emphasize DeepSeek’s influence in shaping an evolving open-source AI culture. I also investigate the ethical dimensions and potential pitfalls of widely distributing powerful AI tools, noting the formidable challenges inherent in such a trajectory.In closing, I propose that DeepSeek represents an exemplary model for balancing the tension between proprietary and open research paradigms, demonstrating, in tangible terms, how open-source platforms can push the performance envelope and serve as community-driven engines of AI innovation.
The Impact of Viewing Art on Well-being—A Systematic Review of the Evidence Base and Suggested Mechanisms
Authors: Trupp mackenzie D , Howlin Claire , Fekete Anna , Kutsche Julian , Fingerhut Joerg , Pelowski Matthew
Published: February 2025

Art viewing has been increasingly seen as having benefits for well-being. However, research on these impacts is disparate, and our understanding of the processes that underlie the impact of art viewing is underdeveloped. We present a systematic review (CRD42022296890), which critically evaluates the evidence of the well-being effects of art viewing, summarizes the characteristics of art viewing experiences and study designs, and presents a thematic analysis of mechanisms. CINAHL, EBSCOhost, Scopus, and Pubmed were searched, and 38 papers were included, with a total of N = 5,092 participants. Quantitative synthesis revealed a diversity of schedules, components, and outcomes. Further, more rigorous methodology is needed, as less than a quarter included control conditions. However, eudemonic well-being emerged as understudied yet had convergent evidence of effect. The thematic analysis revealed affective, cognitive, social, self-transformative, and resilience-building mechanisms. We provide reporting guidelines and a detailed database of included articles for future researchers.

Physical activity (PA) during pregnancy may have a positive effect on the fetal autonomic nervous system maturation which are reflected in a decreasing resting heart rate and increasing heart rate variability (HRV). Different types of PA, for example during leisure or work time, have, however, differential effects on HRV, but this relationship has not yet been investigated in pregnancy. In our work, we related different types of PA during pregnancy with maternal and fetal HRV. We assessed the levels of PA in 95 pregnant women between 28-32 weeks of gestational age (wGA) using the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire. Maternal and fetal heart rate and HRV were extracted from magnetocardiography recordings at rest, and maternal anthropometric and metabolic parameters were measured, such as fasting glucose and insulin levels, body mass index, and blood pressure. Pearson correlations were calculated between HRV, PA, and maternal parameters. Principal component analysis and generalized linear models were implemented to further investigate these relationships. Our findings indicate that habitual physical activity, whether during leisure or work, has no significant effect on maternal or fetal HRV at rest. However, leisure-time physical activity, unlike work-related activity, is associated with improved maternal insulin sensitivity. Additionally, our exploratory analyses revealed that lower HRV in both the mother and the fetus is associated with poorer maternal metabolic health quantified through higher fasting insulin levels, triglycerides, and adiposity. Finally, male fetuses show higher HRV compared to females, highlighting the difference in autonomic nervous system functioning between the two biological sexes.
Modeling the behavior of light within left-handed metamaterials
Authors: Avramenko Aleksandr
Published: February 2025

Recent material science advances have allowed scientists and engineers to reliably create left-handed metamaterials in which the resulting index of refraction is negative. It is well established that the index of refraction can be directly related to the speed of light within a medium. Typically, the magnetic permeability is negligible for most refractive materials and can essentially be ignored. However, in situations where the permittivity and permeability are both negative over the same frequency window, the resulting index of refraction can, likewise, become negative. When light enters a medium with a higher refractive index the phase velocity slows, extrapolating this, a negative refractive index suggests that the phase velocity would reverse. Note that this would not violate causality, which is governed by the group velocity. An interesting aspect of a negative, or a "left-handed" metamaterial is that the refracted wave will bend opposite to the normal when compared to that of a material having a ”standard” index in which n is greater than 1. The exotic behavior of light within materials having a negative refractive index requires scientists to consider how such media would impact the properties of optics should they become integrated into common devices. In this manuscript the properties of metamaterials are briefly reviewed. This manuscript then attempts to model the behavior of a left-handed metamaterial incorporated into a Distributed Bragg Reflector, determining that despite having an overall larger difference in refractive indices, the reflector containing the lefthanded metamaterial is predicted to behave in a similar manner to that constructed from common, positive index materials. The material science applications of left-handed metamaterials is then discussed.

This paper introduces dsTidyverse, an R package designed to enhance data handling within the federated analysis platform DataSHIELD. DataSHIELD enables multi-site analysis without direct data sharing, crucial for privacy-sensitive research. While DataSHIELD facilitates complex analysis, it lacks user-friendly data manipulation tools. dsTidyverse addresses this by implementing selected functions from the “Tidyverse” ecosystem within DataSHIELD’s client-server architecture. The package provides functionality for selecting, renaming, and creating columns; conditional recoding; combining data frames; filtering rows; grouping data; and converting to tibbles. Rigorous disclosure checks are implemented to prevent individual-level data leakage. The paper demonstrates, through examples, how dsTidyverse simplifies common data manipulation tasks, improving user experience and analysis efficiency within DataSHIELD. The package is open-source, freely available on CRAN and GitHub, welcoming further development. See https://github.com/molgenis/ds-tidyverse

Authors: Manz Trevor , Abdennur Nezar , Gehlenborg Nils
Published: February 2025

The anywidget project provides a specification and toolset for creating portable web-based widgets for computational notebooks. It defines a standard for front-end widget code using ECMAScript modules and offers tools for authoring, distributing, and executing these modules across Jupyter-compatible platforms (e.g., JupyterLab, Google Colab, VS Code). The project has spurred the creation of many interactive visualization libraries and has been integrated into existing ones. The standard has been embraced by other notebook platforms and web frameworks, extending the reach of interactive widgets beyond the Jupyter ecosystem.

We give a brief overview of our deliberations in responding to the commentaries on our two target papers presenting the RESQUE (Research Quality Evaluation) framework. While we were able to incorporate many suggestions for improvement directly, we acknowledge that other areas (e.g., quality in theorizing) will require further elaboration. In this paper, we specifically touch on the following issues: (a) eligible types of publication, (b) measurability, (c) quality criteria for software and datasets, (d) theoretical rigor, (e) quantity, (f) authorship, (g) potential bias (against certain methodologies, types of research contributions, or subdisciplines), (h) overall rigor score, (i) weighting of individual indicators, (j) types of data, (k) impact, (l) interdisciplinary value, (m) teaching, (n) expertise, (o) gaming the new metrics, and (p) representativeness. The RESQUE framework has met with largely positive reception so far, but continues to evolve and will thrive best when community involvement stays strong.
Cost-Effective ESM Studies: Integrating Budget Constraints into Sample Size Decisions
Authors: Revol Jordan , Lafit Ginette , Kirtley Olivia J , Ceulemans Eva
Published: February 2025

The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) plays a pivotal role in investigating the dynamics of psychopathological processes in daily life. A crucial question when designing ESM studies concerns the sample size needed, defined by the number of participants (𝑁) and the number of measurement occasions per participant (𝑇). Higher 𝑁 and 𝑇 increase power, but also increase researcher and participant burden, and study cost. Current approaches for sample size planning rarely account for these feasibility and financial constraints explicitly, despite significant variations in ESM studies’ design, operational expenses, participant incentives, and compliance rates. This oversight can lead to suboptimal or unrealistic sample size planning. In this article, we extend the traditional power analysis framework to integrate budget constraints into sample size decisions. In particular, we demonstrate how to formalize budget considerations into cost functions for ESM studies and how to use these to optimally select 𝑁 and 𝑇 values. Through an illustrative example, we showcase how optimal sample size decisions strongly differ across ESM designs and associated cost functions, even when focusing on the same research questions.

Previous fMRI studies have documented links between internalizing problems in youth and brain functional connectivity of the default (DN), frontoparietal (FP), and salience (SA) networks. Characterized by a large symptom heterogeneity and comorbidity, it remains elusive how individual internalizing symptoms relate to DN, FP, and SA connectivity. Leveraging a large population-based sample of adolescents (N = 2426; mean age = 14.1 years) and an integrated network modelling approach, we identified symptom-specific associations between internalizing problems and functional connectivity and explored sex and timing-specific differences in these links. Our findings revealed small negative associations between self-reported feelings of worthlessness and guilt and DN within-network connectivity and positive associations between fearfulness and FP within-network connectivity. Moreover, sadness and fearfulness were positively associated with DN-SA between-network connectivity. Exploratory analyses revealed no significant sex differences but indicated that DN within-network connectivity around age 10 was negatively associated with self-reported worthlessness at age 14. Our findings show symptom-specific associations between internalizing problems and brain functional circuitry in youth and highlight the complex interplay of symptoms and brain networks.
Method of loci and semantic link: assessment of memory benefits in healthy aging

Associative memory naturally declines with age. However, when associative memory is supported by semantic knowledge, older adults can compensate for this decline. This study aims to explore the use of the method of loci, which involves associating each item of a to-be-memorized list with a location along a familiar route, that we adapted to leverage pre-existing knowledge in semantic memory. The memory of young (18–30 years old) and older (60–75 years old) participants was tested after encoding word lists using the method of loci under two conditions: congruent or incongruent with pre-existing knowledge, compared to a control condition. The objective was to assess memory performance improvement based on encoding conditions and age groups. The results showed significant memory performance improvements in both groups when the method of loci was used with congruent associations. In contrast, performance in the incongruent condition was similar to that observed during encoding without a specific strategy, highlighting the importance of semantic links for associative memory. Furthermore, using the method of loci with congruent associations, older adults displayed recall performance equivalent to young adults, while it was not the case with incongruent associations. The method of loci applied in conditions of semantic congruence thus appears to be a promising compensatory strategy for older adults.
International Initiatives to Enhance Awareness and Uptake of Open Research in Psychology: A Systematic Narrative Review
Authors: Skubera Magda , Korbmacher Max , Evans Thomas Rhys , Azevedo Flavio , Pennington Charlotte Rebecca
Published: February 2025

Background: Concerns about the replicability, reproducibility, and transparency of research have ushered in a set of practices and behaviours under the umbrella of ‘open research’. To this end, many new initiatives have been developed that represent procedural (i.e., behaviours and sets of commonly used practices in the research process), structural (new norms, rules, infrastructure, and incentives), and community-based change (working groups, networks). Objectives: To outline international initiatives that enhance awareness and uptake of open research practices in the discipline of psychology. Methods: A systematic, narrative review was conducted in three stages: (1) a web search to identify open research initiatives in psychology; (2) a literature search to identify supporting publications; and (3) a hand search of grey literature. Eligible initiatives were coded into a narrative theme of procedural, structural, or community-based change. Results: A total of 187 initiatives were identified; 30 were procedural (e.g., toolkits, resources, software), 70 structural (e.g., policies, strategies, frameworks), and 87 community-based (e.g., working groups, networks). Discussion: Open research is progressing at pace through various initiatives that share a common goal to reform research culture. We hope that this review promotes their further adoption and facilitates coordinated efforts between individuals, organisations, institutions, publishers, and funders.
Beyond Computational Functionalism: The Behavioral Inference Principle for Machine Consciousness
Authors: Palminteri Stefano , Wu Charley M
Published: February 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly become a central topic in AI and cognitive science, due to their unprecedented performance in a vast array of tasks. Indeed, some even see 'sparks of artificial general intelligence' in their apparently boundless faculty for conversation and reasoning, Their sophisticated emergent faculties, which were not initially anticipated by their designers, has ignited an urgent debate about whether and under which circumstances we should attribute consciousness to artificial entities in general and LLMs in particular. The current consensus, rooted in computational functionalism, proposes that consciousness should be ascribed based on a principle of computational equivalence. The objective of this opinion piece is to criticize this current approach and argue in favor of an alternative “behavioral inference principle”, whereby consciousness is attributed if it is useful to explain (and predict) a given set of behavioral observations. We believe that a behavioral inference principle will provide an epistemologically unbiased and operationalizable criterion to assess machine consciousness.
