" ANALISIS SOSIAL TERHADAP HAK ANAK DALAM SISTEM HUKUM ADAT"
Authors: Aulia M. Aldo
Published: November 2023

Hak anak sebagai dimensi fundamental dalam hak asasi manusia merupakan fokus perhatian dunia internasional. Namun, dalam konteks Indonesia, dengan keberagaman budaya dan tradisi yang kaya, hak anak tidak dapat dipisahkan dari realitas sistem hukum adat yang masih kuat berakar dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Sistem hukum adat, yang merujuk pada serangkaian norma, aturan, dan nilai-nilai turun temurun, memberikan dasar bagi tatanan kehidupan masyarakat tradisional.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis sosial terhadap hak anak dalam konteks sistem hukum adat di Indonesia. Anak-anak, sebagai pilar masa depan bangsa, memiliki hakhak yang harus diakui dan dihormati sesuai dengan norma-norma yang berlaku. Namun, pertanyaan mendasar muncul: bagaimana hak anak diakomodasi dan dilindungi dalam ranah hukum adat?Penting untuk memahami bahwa setiap sistem hukum memiliki nilai-nilai, norma, dan mekanisme yang unik. Dalam hal ini, sistem hukum adat menjadi lanskap yang menarik untuk diselidiki, karena seringkali menggabungkan unsur hukum, budaya, dan agama dalam pengaturan kehidupan sehari-hari. Bagaimana hak anak dipandang, dijaga, atau mungkin terabaikan dalam sistem hukum adat?Melalui analisis sosial, kita dapat menjelajahi dampak praktik-praktik hukum adat terhadap hak anak. Perubahan sosial, transformasi budaya, dan dinamika masyarakat lokal dapat memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang bagaimana anak-anak diperlakukan dan dilibatkan dalam pengambilan keputusan di berbagai tingkatan.Dengan demikian, makalah ini akan menguraikan kerangka hukum adat terkait hak anak, mengeksplorasi konteks sosial di mana anak-anak hidup, dan menawarkan analisis kritis terhadap tantangan dan peluang yang muncul dalam upaya melindungi hak anak dalam sistem hukum adat di Indonesia.
Loneliness in the Brain: Distinguishing Between Hypersensitivity and Hyperalertness
Authors: Bathelt Joe , Dijk Corine , Otten Marte
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Loneliness has emerged as a pressing public health issue, necessitating greater understanding of its mechanisms to devise effective treatments. While the link between loneliness and biased social cognition is a commonly proposed, the precise nature of this relationship remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the cognitive processes underlying loneliness, specifically distinguishing between hypersensitivity (heightened initial response) and hyperalertness (slow habituation) to social stimuli in lonely individuals.Methods: In Study 1, 36 participants were tested to identify the relevant EEG channels and time windows that show differential processing of angry vs happy faces and first vs later exposure in a roving oddball paradigm. Study 2 will compare these face processing effects in lonely and non-lonely participants. We aim to recruit a sample of 50 lonely and 50 non-lonely participants, who will be identified by their responses on a standardised loneliness questionnaire with population norms.Results: In Study 1, a greater response to angry compared to happy facial expressions was observed between 120-170ms over posterior and central channels, and between 360 and 470ms over right posterior channels. A greater response to the initial compared to the fifth presentation of an emotional face was found between 480 and 600ms over right posterior and central channels. These findings align with previous research on emotion and novelty processing in similar experiments.For Study 2, we anticipate observing higher response amplitudes when comparing angry expressions to happy expressions in lonely participants, indicating hypersensitivity. Furthermore, we expect to see greater amplitudes when comparing early presentations to late presentations of angry faces in lonely individuals, indicating increased alertness.Discussion: to be added at Stage 2

Dalam pandangan bernegara, sebuah bangsa harus mengenal jatidirinya. Pendidikan di Indonesia harus menanamkan jiwa dan kepribadian bangsa yang berlandaskan Pancasila sebagai cita-cita bangsa, falsafah dan nilai-nilai luhur bangsa. Melalui kesadaran sosial diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi dalam membina Mahasiswa yang memiliki kepedulian sosial. Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan memperoleh pengetahuan dalam membentuk kesadaran bernegara. Diharapkan Mahasiswa mampu memahami dan berpartisipasi dalam organisasi sosial, dan lingkungan, Mahasiswa mampu memahami serta melaksanakan hak dan kewajiban sebagai warga negara sesuai dengan peraturan dan norna nilai, dan Mahasiswa mampu berpikir, bersikap dan berbuat yang terbaik bagi bangsa dan negara sehingga timbul rasa nasionalisme. Kata Kunci : Pembelajaran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan, Kesadaran Bernegara.AbstractAt this time, what we often encounter are children who lack respect for their parents, anti?social attitudes that can be seen in everyday life both on campus and in society. From a state perspective, a nation must know its identity. Education in Indonesia must instill a national spirit and personality that is based on Pancasila as the nation's ideals, philosophy and noble values of the nation. Through social awareness, it is hoped that it can be a solution in developing students who have social awareness. Citizenship Education acquires knowledge in forming national awareness. It is hoped that students will be able to understand and participate in social and environmental organizations, students will be able to understand and carry out their rights and obligations as citizens in accordance with regulations and values, and students will be able to think, behave and do what is best for the nation and state so that a sense of nationalism arises.Keywords: Citizenship Education Learning, National Awareness
British organized crime at Harvard University and on TV: the censorship of science through bookstores and TV interviews, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, the end of science and the end of the world towards extinction
Authors: Damavandi Pardis Tabaee
Published: November 2023

An opinion piece on how we are at the beginning of our collapse, unless we act now against the threat of British psychopathy, terrorism and organized crime. The British population had been estimated to have psychopathy at 50% five years ago; and psychopathy is contagious, we saw with the various conflicts that stem from it, but if we looked more in depth, my case of a scientist who has been harassed by a complete stranger that somehow managed to get into an academic british institution, and the very first case of book removal involving scientific censorship is what has me worried. The censorship and removal of my book from being sold, is against free science, and all this was done for nothing but a psychopath to hold an interview with the producer of a PBS aired program named "Closer to truth". The censorship of science is a very serious matter, and should not be excused and is unexplained. The length this individual has gone to, to make it happen just is unreasonable and makes no sense, he is a stranger, but it shows that people on "power trips" have no sense of what is right or wrong, and they do not care for science, and that welcoming them into society is wrong and dangerous. In fact, the end of science could be the very first step towards extinction, and scientists that support this, are not scientists and they are making it come true. Are someone's personal characteristics really that fundamental that you'd sacrifice the whole of mankind over it? Rational conduct remains imperative and irrational criminal conduct is unjustified.
Beyond Virtual Reality: Towards Screen-Free Interfaces for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Interventions

Published: November 2023

Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) has emerged as a promising posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment by enabling controlled exposure to traumatic cues. However, VRET interfaces decouple users from their physical surroundings, effectively dissociating them from their body and social environment. We review the benefits and disadvantages of VRET and suggest that the audio-motor coupling induced by gesture sonification may overcome some of these limitations. Preliminary findings suggest gesture sonification increases bodily awareness and the sense of agency, essential in PTSD. Further research could offer new pathways to promote trauma recovery through multisensory integration.
Sociosexual Behavior, Attitudes and Desire: The Predictive Role of Light and Dark Personality Traits
Authors: Grigoropoulos iraklis
Published: November 2023

Most studies have viewed sociosexuality as being unidimensional, a continuum with two poles: restricted sociosexuality and unrestricted sociosexuality. Thus, there is a dearth of research on the tridimensional framework of sociosexuality concerning its determinants, especially Light personality traits. Therefore, the current study examined the predictive value of Light and Dark Triad traits by evaluating them simultaneously in the same sociosexuality prediction models (behavior, attitude, and desire) to provide a more nuanced picture of sociosexuality phenomena. This study’s sample comprised 194 Greek participants (age range 19- 48, Mage = 23.39, SD = 4.60; 167 females). This study’s results provide evidence that while participants’ sociosexuality desire may involve both the Light and Dark personality traits, sociosexuality behaviors are more likely to be predicted solely by a Dark personality trait (Psychopathy).This study’s results also provide evidence that the same malevolent personality traits predict multiple sociosexual phenomena (i.e., multi-finality). At the same time, different malevolent and benevolent personality traits produce identical sociosexual phenomena (i.e., equifinality).

Published: November 2023

A good match between clinicians and clients can substantially impact psychotherapy outcomes. No proposed matching methodology, however, accounts for the multitude of relevant variables, such as complaint type, demographics, life experiences, and personality, as well as for practical concerns such as therapist availability. Prior work has often focused on single-variable models and average effects across populations, and studies that take more multifaceted approaches base their results on simulations or carefully constructed situations. To nuance our matching, we estimated the complex effect of therapists on client outcomes using machine learning trained on high dimensional data from CCAPS and OQ-45 surveys from 2014 to 2019. We used these predictions to produce constrained matches, optimizing outcomes for cohorts of clients. Using our method, called Matching Assistant for Therapists and Client Health (MATCH), clients assigned would experience better outcomes on average with minimal impact on their wait-time and few administrative changes.
High overall values mitigate gaze-related effects in perceptual and preferential choices
Authors: Ting Chih-Chung , Gluth Sebastian
Published: November 2023

A growing literature has shown that people tend to make faster decisions when choosing between two high-intensity or high-utility options than when choosing between two less-intensity or low-utility options. Yet, the underlying cognitive mechanisms of this effect of overall value (OV) on response times (RT) remains controversial, partially due to inconsistent findings of OV effects on accuracy, but also due to the lack of process-tracing studies testing this effect. Here, we set out to fill this gap by testing and modeling the influence of OV on choices, RT, and eye-movements in both perceptual as well as preferential decisions in a preregistered eye-tracking experiment (N=61). Across perceptual and preferential tasks, we observed a significant and consistently negative correlation between OV and RT, replicating previous work. Accuracy tended to increase with OV, reaching significance in preferential choices only. Eye-tracking analyses revealed a reduction of different gaze-related effects under high OV: a reduced tendency to choose the longer fixated option in perceptual choice and a reduced tendency to choose the last fixated option in preferential choice. Modeling these data with the attentional Drift Diffusion Model (aDDM) showed that the non-fixated option value was discounted least in the high OV condition, confirming that higher OV might mitigate the impact of gaze on choices. Our results suggest that overall value jointly affects behavior and gaze influences and offer a mechanistic account for the puzzling phenomenon that decisions between options of higher OV tend to be faster but not less accurate.
The Effects of Refugees’ Emotional Tears on Felt Emotions and Helping Behaviors
Authors: Bobowik Magdalena , Zickfeld Janis , Martinovic Borja , Verkuyten Maykel
Published: November 2023

Tearful faces are frequent in mass media portraits of refugees, but the consequences of such depictions for different kinds of intergroup helping remain poorly understood. Moreover, existing research suggests that individuals tend to be more willing to support those who display tears, yet the impact of emotional tears on actual helping behavior has not been examined. Across three experiments relying on nation-wide panel data (N = 2647) and a quasi-experimental citizen science study (N = 191) conducted in the Netherlands, we tested the effects of refugees’ tearful (vs. non-tearful) expressions on people’s emotional reactions, intentions to offer refugees both dependency- and autonomy-oriented help, as well as actual helping behavior (i.e., money donated to an organization supporting refugees). Data from three online experiments unveiled a positive relationship between exposure to emotional tears and both dependency- and autonomy-oriented intentions to help, as well as donation behavior (in Study 4, two initiatives encompassing both dependency- and autonomy-oriented help), via felt compassion. Across all studies, the visual representations of refugees with tears consistently resulted in more helping intentions and donations indirectly via the perceived sadness of the refugee(s) and the subsequent felt compassion. Our findings illuminate critical questions regarding visual representations of refugees that might motivate solidarity. They also encourage future collaborative research at the convergence of art, social and emotion science, and activism. Our research also provides a platform for initiating fundraising campaigns aimed at generating resources to support initiatives focused on sharing the narratives of displaced individuals and empowering the refugee community.
A Reinforcement-Learning Meta-Control Architecture Based on the Dual-Process Theory of Moral Decision-Making
Authors: Maier Maximilian , Cheung Vanessa , Lieder Falk
Published: November 2023

Deep neural networks are increasingly tasked with making complex, real-world decisions that can have morally significant consequences. But it is difficult to predict when a deep neural network will go wrong, and wrong decisions can cause significantly negative outcomes. In contrast, human moral decision-making is often remarkably robust. This is partly achieved by relying on both moral rules and cost-benefit reasoning. In this paper, we reverse-engineer people's capacity for robust moral decision-making as a cognitively inspired reinforcement-learning (RL) architecture that learns how much weight to give to following rules vs. cost-benefit reasoning. We confirm the predictions of our model in a large online experiment on human moral learning. We find that our RL architecture can capture how people learn to make moral decisions, suggesting that it could be applied to make AI decision-making safer and more robustly beneficial to society.
The effect of mortality salience and early-life maternal care on neuroendocrine, autonomic, and psychological stress responses

Published: November 2023

Adverse early-life experiences alter the regulation of major stress systems such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Low early-life maternal care (MC) has repeatedly been related to blunted cortisol responses to stress. Likewise, an acutely increased awareness of mortality (mortality salience, MS) also has been shown to blunt cortisol responses. In the current study we investigated the effects of early-life MC and a potential interaction with MS on HPA axis responsivity, as well as autonomic and subjective stress responses. Seventy-three women (Mage=21.56, SDage=2.85) with self-reported low (n=30) or high (n=43) early-life MC, underwent the Trier Social Stress Test for groups. Prior to stressor exposure they were asked to briefly reflect either on death (mortality condition, n=38) or sleep (control condition, n=35). Salivary cortisol and alpha amylase, heart rate variability and subjective stress levels were assessed throughout the experiment. Multilevel mixed models confirmed an effect of MC on stress system regulation, indicated by blunted cortisol stress responses and overall reduced heart rate variability in low compared with high MC individuals. Moreover, we found an interaction between MS and MC concerning subjective stress levels and changes in heart rate variability. These findings demonstrate the impact of low early-life MC and the potential role of acute mortality primes on the regulation of stress systems in healthy women. Results further imply a superiority of multisystemic approaches to capture and investigate the extensive consequences of exposure to early-life adversity.
Brain Resource Occupancy: A Novel User-Centered Criteria for Brain-computer Interface Performance Evaluation
Authors: Luo Yu , Liu Ding , Liu Bin , zhang jicong
Published: November 2023

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a direct channel for communication between external devices and the user's central nervous system, holding significant promise for restoring limb mobility in patients, particularly those afflicted by conditions such as peripheral nerve injury. However, the widespread utilization of BCIs is impeded by the absence of an objective and user-centric evaluation system. This paper proposes a novel BCI evaluation index termed "brain resource occupancy," serving as a quantitative measure of an individual's cognitive resource utilization at any given moment. Derived from cognitive psychology, this metric is perceived as a crucial determinant of performance across various single-task and multi-task scenarios. The paper delves into the concept of brain resource occupancy, its significance, measurement techniques, and underscores its potential to objectively assess BCI system performance from the user's viewpoint. Additionally, it explores the correlation between brain resource occupancy and the privacy protection and security facets within the realm of BCIs.
COMPRENDRE PROTOCOL: A Computerized Protocol for Assessing Oral Language Comprehension and Executive Functions in French-Speaking Children Aged 5-8.

Published: November 2023

We present a computerized protocol that allows the evaluation of oral language comprehension in French and executive function in both verbal and nonverbal modalities. This protocol can be administered to children between 5 and 8 years old and can be used for language and executive function evaluations, either separately or in combination. We specifically designed or adapted four language tasks for the assessment of various linguistic abilities, including phonological, lexico-semantic, and syntactic comprehension. Additionally, three different tasks are proposed to assess executive functions, encompassing working memory, updating, and inhibition abilities in both verbal and nonverbal modalities. We developed this protocol to conduct a rapid screening of oral language comprehension and executive function abilities in French-speaking children, with typical or atypical language development. The construction of this protocol was motivated by fundamental research questions concerning the development of oral language and its interactions with executive functions in French children during the early years of formal schooling and learning acquisitions.

Published: November 2023

The present longitudinal study examined the prevalence and stability of Finnish primary-school students’ (N = 2000) motivational profiles, and their links with gender, SES, and arithmetic achievement. Participants self-rated their motivation in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades (Mage = 8.74 at first measurement point). Time-constrained arithmetic tests administered each year were used as an indicator of arithmetic achievement. Latent class analysis with ISOA procedure revealed six motivational profiles (Ambivalent, Indifferent, Competitive, Task- Oriented, Worried Avoidant, and Avoidant). Configural frequency analyses showed 43.7% of the participants to remain in the same profile from 2nd to 3rd grade, and 45.5% from 3rd to 4th grade. Transitions from profiles with low to high task orientation, and vice versa, were unlikely. Girls were consistently under- and boys overrepresented in the Competitive profile. Participants with lowest levels of parental education tended to be overrepresented in the Worried Avoidant profile and underrepresented in the Task-Oriented profile, and vice versa for those with highest level of parental education. Within time points, the profiles characterised by high task orientation were linked with higher, and by low task orientation with lower arithmetic achievement. The difference in 4th grade arithmetic achievement between the Task-Oriented and Avoidant profiles remained significant when previous achievement was controlled for. Young students’ needs may differ as a function of their motivational tendencies, gender, and SES. Responding to these needs should be considered when designing and implementing primary-years education.
No one-size-fits-all solution. Effects of social policies on in-work poverty across household types.
Authors: Brülle Jan
Published: November 2023

The paper studies effects of social policies on in-work poverty risks, distinguishing between measures that either intervene in labour market processes -- i.e. predistribution policies -- or redistribute incomes towards those with low incomes. I argue that effects of different policies can be expected to vary across household contexts, due to the fact that the link between individual employment outcomes and in-work poverty is moderated by household type. The analyses uses data from EU-SILC and macro-level indicators from various sources to estimate general as well as household-type-specific effects using longitudinal methods. Results emphasize that labour market interventions and redistributive transfers impact in-work poverty risks through different mechanisms and also reveal important differences between specific policies: minimum wages contribute to reducing low-wage risks, whereas effects on in-work poverty are small and mainly restricted to single households where labour market outcomes and household income closely align. In contrast, there is a robust negative effect of strict employment protection legislation across almost all household types on in-work poverty, which is consistent with the positive role this measure plays for supporting higher earnings. With respect to redistributional policies, both unemployment benefits and benefits to low earners reduce poverty due to their contribution to public poverty-reduction. However, whereas unemployment benefits mainly reduce in-work poverty among couple households, benefits to low earners are the most effective measure to contribute to lower poverty risks among employed single parents.
Sandboxes as “trading zones" for engaging with AI regulation, ethics, and the EU AI Act: How to Reclaim Agency over the Future?
Authors: Kera Denisa Reshef
Published: November 2023

The study uses the concept of "quasi-public" spaces and "trading zones" to explore the temporal dimension of politics and innovation—agency over the future. It argues that prototyping, often dismissed as apolitical, can be a potent form of public engagement. By focusing on emergent technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAIs), the study examines how these spaces can influence regulatory frameworks, such as the EU AI Act . Through a series of interventions, including art installations and mock trials over synthetic agents generates via LLMs, the research reveals that these spaces can serve as platforms for collective action, challenging the technocratic narratives that often dominate discussions around disruptive technologies. The study posits that the act of prototyping can be a form of "public time," a new arena for democratic participation, where the future itself becomes a contested, communal resource.
Future of Work: Professionalization of Clergy and Nonprofit Collaborations
Authors: Herzog Patricia Snell , Plasters Ronnie , King David P.
Published: November 2023

Building upon research on the professionalization of clergy, this paper analyzes the future of work in the context of organizational change. Increasing prevalence and rising pressures on nonprofit organizations to collaborate have resulted in a greater need for interagency ties. In this context, engaging in collaborations can be viewed as an indicator of professionalization. Yet, questions remain regarding whether faith-based organizations align with or diverge from broader trends of nonprofits. Thus, this paper investigates the research question: Are nonprofit collaborations more common among professionalized religious leaders? Data are drawn from the National Survey of Religious Leaders (NSRL), which collected surveys from a nationally representative sample of 1,600 religious leaders. Two mechanisms are posited for professionalization in nonprofit collaborations: intergenerational change and information access. Findings have implications for religious leaders and professionals in nonprofit organizations.
The politics of directionality in innovation policy through the lens of policy process frameworks
Authors: de Graaff Sabine , Wanzenböck Iris , Frenken Koen
Published: November 2023

Different interpretations of ‘directionality’ in innovation policy and sustainability transitions literatures suggest the need for distinguishing between actors ‘giving direction’ contributing to transformative change, and ‘systemic directionality’ as a feature of transformative change required to address urgent societal challenges. In a first step towards bridging these understandings, we emphasize the process-oriented and political nature of directionality, and mobilize political theory to conceptualize the politics of directionality. The questions:‘who gives which direction, where, how, when and why’ are employed to discuss the politics of directionality in an integrative literature review of five policy process frameworks: Multiple Streams Framework (MSF), Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET), Policy Feedback Theory (PFT), Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). We present a conceptual framework integrating insights from policy process frameworks for conceptualizing the politics of directionality as involving both actors giving direction and the systemic directionality of transformative change.
DEFEN-CE: Social Dialogue in Defence of Vulnerable Groups in Post-COVID-19 Labour Markets. Report on Turkey
Authors: Duman Anil
Published: November 2023

This report is part of an EU-wide project on the social dialogue regarding labour relations during the Covid-19 pandemic. More specifically the report aims to answer the following questions:1. What public policy and social dialogue measures targeting the selected vulnerable groups were implemented for employment and social protection during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-2022?2. To what extent and how did social dialogue play a role in the implementation of social and employment rights of selected vulnerable groups in the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022?3. What lessons and opportunities does the COVID-19 pandemic yield for strengthening social dialogue in the studied countries?In the report, secondary and primary data sources are combined. Labour market and industrial relations analysis largely rely on existing literature. Social policies during the Covid-19 pandemic are based on the Turkish DEFEN-CE Database, which combines multiple sources such as international reports, official documents, reports from trade unions and employers’organizations, and academic literature. To understand the role of social partners in the defense of vulnerable groups, the report uses 9 semi-structured interviews. 3 Trade Union and 3 Employer Associations from different confederations representing workers and employers across different sectors and sizes are selected to provide a broad range of opinions. Additionally, two NGOs that were quite active during the pandemic and the Turkish Medical Association as one of the most vocal groups and the representative of healthcare sector workers were chosen for interviews. No government officials, either at the local or national level, were willing or able to participate in the interviews. All interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis based on a DEFEN-CE coding scheme.
The curious relevance of Foucault's soft biopower in ghost authorship to Schrodinger's unusual cat
Authors: Iyer Ramasubramania
Published: November 2023

Ghost authorship is practised with impunity in journal and conference publications by a few investigators who have the funding power to do research. In this short communication, references on ghost authorship indicate abuse of author credit space, finding relevance in Foucault's biopower. Many presenters have described Foucault's biopower. The exclusion of performers in the author's credit space as ghost authors is expressed as Foucault's soft biopower and its curious relevance to Schrodinger's unusual cat is presented.

An Investigative Account of Psychological differences among Sexes
Authors: P.M Suresh Kumar
Published: November 2023

The unique capability of human beings is that they think and act. So much so behavior varies with situations. It is also a fact that each individual reacts differently to a given situation. Behavior depends on the transactions taking place in the mind of the individual. It is the outcome of the interplay of stimulus – a matter that needs to be addressed, perception – the way it is taken, cognition – the way it is understood, and response – the characteristic reaction. Psychology denotes the mental makeup. It is the sum of the structure and organization of thoughts and choice of involuntary action at the mental plane. Although influenced by early experiences, genetic differences, and grooming, there is a predictable pattern of composite feelings, thoughts, and emotions that characterize the psychology of a person. This despite, a person’s sex has a great role in contributing to the development of psychology. Men and women are not only physically and biologically different, they are psychologically different too. In other words the broad pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaving that differentiates men and women into two distinct psychological categories, is their sex and associated physical bodily differences, social role differences, gender differences, biological differences, and emotional differences. This study is an attempt to explore these differences that make them differ psychologically. In this paper, the term psychology is treated as the structure and composition of the human mind and the dynamics acting on it.

Concurrent Isolated Hypoglossal Nerve Palsy Induced by Jugular Vein Thrombosis, Cervical Plexus Masses, and Vestibular Schwannoma: A Complex Case Report Highlighting Anatomical Pathways and Clinical Challenges
Authors:   Department of Neurology, The Neurology Group Institution, Pomona, CA, USA, Zarei Sara
Published: November 2023

Background: Hypoglossal nerve palsy is typically observed alongside other cranial nerve impairments, with isolated cases being infrequent and posing diagnostic complexities. Originating intracranially, the nerve traverses the skull and neck, governing tongue motility. Lesions are classified as supranuclear, nuclear, or infranuclear, engendering tongue deviation towards the affected side. Due to its proximity to crucial structures, hypoglossal nerve palsy often coincides with supplementary symptoms. Etiologies encompass skull base metastases, carotid artery pathologies, and trauma. This study explores less conventional triggers such as hypoglossal nerve palsy following thyroidectomy, jugular vein thrombosis, cervical plexus masses, and Vestibular Schwannoma. Case Description: A 38-year-old female presented to the Neurology outpatient clinic with leftward tongue deviation and left-sided neck and shoulder pain accompanied by stiffness that had begun several months prior. In addition to the tongue deviation, she reported minor dysphagia, blurry vision, and intermittent numbness on the left side of her scalp. MRI and duplex ultrasound verified the presence of left internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis. The patient was initially prescribed Eliquis and acetazolamide, with slight improvements in symptoms, though medication use ceased due to side effects. During a subsequent follow-up visit, persistent tongue deviation and worsening left shoulder pain prompted additional cervical imaging. A new cervical spine MRI revealed a 15x14 mm nodular dural enhancement with a paraspinal soft tissue mass at the C2 level. Concurrently, multiple cranial nerve palsies were detected during the physical examination. Unfortunately, the patient was subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer. To rule out brain metastases related to her breast cancer, an additional brain MRI was performed, revealing a newly formed 2.3x1.6x1.2 cm left cerebellopontine angle mass adjacent to the internal auditory canal (IAC), suggestive of a vestibular schwannoma but without evidence of metastatic disease. The patient's care involved a multidisciplinary team, including hematologist-oncologists, neurosurgeons, and neurologists. Conclusion: This case report highlights the less common causes of hypoglossal nerve palsy, such as jugular vein thrombosis, cervical plexus masses, and Vestibular Schwannoma.
