Moderators of Change in Social Anxiety during CBT in a Transdiagnostic, Naturalistic Treatment-Seeking Sample
Authors: Asnaani Anu , Kaczkurkin Antonia N. , Tannahill Hallie , Fitzgerald Hayley 
Published: May 2016

Background There are a number of hypothesized underlying factors that, while present across a range of anxiety and fear-based disorders, are proposed to be specifically influential in the maintenance of social anxiety (SA) symptoms. Aims This study examined the influence of specific constructs (i.e., anxiety sensitivity, ruminative thinking, and depressive symptoms) on reduction of SA symptoms during a course of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). To better model potential causal relationships between observed moderators and social anxiety, time-lagged analyses between SA and significant moderators were also explored. Methods Participants (N = 107) were patients seeking treatment in a fee-for-service clinic specializing in CBT for anxiety disorders, OCD and PTSD. Participants were repeatedly assessed for a variety of symptoms and potential moderators throughout treatment. Results Even though anxiety sensitivity regarding social concerns, rumination, reflection, and depression showed significant within-and between-person relationships with SA symptoms, only rumination was found to uniquely moderate change in SA symptoms over the course of treatment. Specifically, those with higher average levels of ruminative thinking tended to improve greater on SA symptoms than those with lower levels throughout treatment. Further, this observed moderation effect was not found to significantly influence OCD, generalized anxiety, or PTSD symptoms. Finally, a bi-directional relationship was found between rumination and SA with rumination predicting subsequent changes in SA and vice versa. Conclusions High levels of ruminative thinking do not appear to be an impediment to improvement in SA symptoms in a naturalistic, treatment-seeking sample of individuals with anxiety disorders.
7th Grade Students’ Understandings of Negative Integer
Authors: Ural Alattin 
Published: May 2016

<p>The aim of the research is to determine 7<sup>th</sup> grade students’ understandings relating the concept of negative integer. For this purpose, a total of 100 7<sup>th</sup> grade students who were selected randomly from 4 middle school in Burdur centre were asked those two questions: “what do negative integers mean, where do they use”, “write a problem appropriate for the expression of “+3-7=-4”. The research is a qualitative research and the model is general scanning model. Descriptive analysis was conducted in analysis of the data. The students’ responses were tried to be given directly and presented categorically. The students indicated commonly the contexts of “temperature below 0 degree”, altitude below sea level (minus elevation)” and “debt” as usage areas of the negative integers. 38% of the students couldn’t give any example for usage areas of the negative integers. 22% of the students couldn’t write a problem appropriate for the given expression. These students indicated inappropriate context or inappropriate problem mathematically. 45% of the students didn’t write any problem. As a result, 67% of the students couldn’t write an appropriate problem. 33% of the students could write problems that are considered as appropriate. These students used commonly the contexts of “dept, dept owed, lose money”.</p>
Remembering "Old Jerusalem": Storytelling and the Politics of Sephardi/Mizrahi Cultural Revival
Authors: Hercbergs Dana 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article interrogates the cultural politics of a series of storytelling performances in Jerusalem in light of an ongoing "revival" of Sephardi and Mizrahi Jewish heritage in Israel. An examination of performers’ on-stage narratives and interactions reveals three discursive approaches to defining authentic Jerusalem culture through descriptions of "old-time" lifeways: emphasizing the city’s cosmopolitan past; challenging contemporary social hierarchies in Israel via jabs at "Ashkenazim" and idealization of Sephardi culture; and through claims of underlying Jewish unity.
The Waters of Mendangumeli: A Masculine Psychoanalytic Interpretation of a New Guinea Flood Myth—and Women’s Laughter
Authors: Silverman Eric K. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThis article corroborates Alan Dundes’s psychoanalytic interpretation of flood myths as expressing male envy of female fertility and birth. My data consist of two deluge tales collected in a Sepik River society in Papua New Guinea in the 1980s and 1994. But I do more than simply test Dundes’s thesis. I also show that it is possible and, indeed, imperative to embed psychoanalytic analyses of oral tales in the local cultural context. I also update, in a sense, Dundes’s framework with insights from Lacanian and feminist anthropology. Last, I discuss how Iatmul women respond--both to the tale and its psychodynamic innuendo.

<p>É possível ter “Acesso à Justiça” e não ter Acesso ao Processo? Embora aparentemente contraditório o questionamento, sua compreensão passa pela revisitação da perspectiva do Estado Social, na linha do Projeto de Florença e de uma quarta onda renovatória, para enfim buscar bases teóricas condizentes com o marco constitucional de 1988, o paradigma de Estado Democrático de Direito. Para tanto, imprescindível abandonar a teoria da relação jurídica do processo estruturada em torno da jurisdição, colocando-se como contraponto a teoria do processo como procedimento realizado em contraditório, como primeiro passo. Na linha democrática deve-se assegurar que o destinatário do ato estatal se veja como coautor na construção deste ato, na perspectiva de Habermas, condição que não é atingida ao adotar a teoria relacionista. </p>
Response of Iron Deficiency Anemia to Intravenous Iron Sucrose in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Danko Istvan 
Published: May 2016

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose (IS) in iron deficient children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in remission.
METHODS: Electronic medical records at a university based pediatric children's hospital were searched for patients in age range 0 to 18 years with diagnosis of IBD and treatment with IS over a 1-year period. Response to IS treatment was assessed by posttreatment changes in ferritin, hemoglobin (Hb), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Patients with recorded symptoms of active disease were excluded from analysis of treatment response.
RESULTS: Twelve patients were identified by the search criteria, 10 with Crohn's disease (CD), 2 with ulcerative colitis (UC). Data represent 8 patients in remission, 7 with CD and 1 with UC, who received a total of 34 IS infusions. Iron sucrose was administered in cycles of 2 infusions, 2.5 to 3.5 mg/kg/dose (maximum 200 mg), 1 week apart. Mean ferritin increased from 21.4 ± 9.2 to 52.9 ± 10.1 ng/mL (p = 0.0005), Hb from 10.9 ± 0.4 to 11.3 ± 0.3 g/dL (p = 0.02), and MCV from 76.9 ± 2 to 79.4 ± 2 fl (p = 0.006). Iron sucrose treatment normalized ferritin in 6 of 7, Hb in 2 of 8, and MCV in 2 of 5 patients with low pretreatment levels. No adverse effects were recorded.
CONCLUSIONS: Two IS infusions of 2.5 to 3.5 mg/kg/dose (maximum 200 mg), given 1 week apart normalized ferritin levels in most pediatric IBD patients in remission without adverse effects. Further studies are needed to determine optimal dosing schedules.
Faceted Inuit-European contact in southern Labrador
Authors: Stopp Marianne P. 
Published: May 2016

Archaeological evidence from three sites excavated or tested between 2009 and 2013 is shown to be valuable for interpreting the diverse nature of the early Inuit-European contact zone in southern Labrador. Beginning in the late 17th century, French and then English archival records for the region describe relations with Inuit that were motivated by trade but that repeatedly devolved into violence. Indeed, if only the historical records were available we would learn little of the range of Inuit responses to colonialism other than its context of aggression. The archaeological data, in contrast, decolonize this history and point to a more nuanced contact landscape than suggested by the written records, with clues to varied cultural intersections, and Inuit resilience and persistence.

Authors: Charest Paul 
Published: May 2016

Dans le cadre de cet article, la sous-aire culturelle du Labrador méridional comprend les régions du Sud-Labrador, du détroit de Belle-Isle et de la Basse-Côte-Nord du golfe du Saint-Laurent. Après avoir documenté la présence historique d’Inuit et de Métis euro-inuit dans cette région au XIXe siècle, l’héritage culturel inuit maintenu et transmis à cette période est exposé en huit thèmes: le mode de vie généraliste; le double habitat et la transhumance; le groupe résidentiel; la maison de tourbe; l’économie du phoque; l’économie commerciale; les moyens de transport; les vêtement et accessoires en peau de phoque. Cet héritage culturel inuit combiné à l’héritage amérindien et à l’héritage euro-canadien a contribué à façonner la culture métisse unique qui est celle du Labrador méridional.
Being and becoming Inuit in Labrador
Authors: Kennedy John C. 
Published: May 2016

Longitudinal research enables discussion of some of the consequences of Aboriginal organizations and identity politics for the Inuit and mixed Inuit-European peoples of Labrador. Newfoundland and Labrador Indians formed the province of Newfoundland and Labrador’s first Aboriginal organization, soon followed by a second, Inuit organization. The mixed Inuit-European “Settlers” (or Kablunângajuit) of northern Labrador initially preferred the Indian organization but were pressured to join and later would dominate the Inuit organization. Moreover, under the 2003 Inuit land claim, Kablunângajuit would legally be considered Inuit. Further south, people of similar mixed Inuit-European ancestry who long denied their Aboriginal roots would organize as Metis. Concurrent with the more than 40 years of identity politics, summarized by this paper, were major international and regional socio-economic changes that saw people move from local to distant work, creating new contexts for identity management. The paper shows how identity politics has changed relations of power and identity, has increased the numbers of people who are legally Inuit or aspire to be so, and, more generally, empowers Aboriginal people to shape their future.
InGaAs triangular barrier photodiodes for high-responsivity detection of near-infrared light

Published: May 2016

Abstract
InGaAs triangular barrier (TB) structures of various barrier thicknesses have been formed on InP substrates. With them, we have fabricated TB photodiodes that yield a very high responsivity of 2.3 × 104 A/W at 100 K for the 1312 nm light of 320 fW power. By passivating the diode surface with polyimide, the dark current has been markedly reduced. Diodes with thicker barriers show higher sensitivity and responsivity, reflecting the enhancement of the barrier lowering effect by photogenerated holes.
Elemental isomerization processes for a photochromic diarylethene film based on carrier injection toward all-electrically operable organic memory
Authors: Tsujioka Tsuyoshi , Yamamoto Kazuki 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
We propose a basic concept of all-electrically operable organic memory with a photochromic diarylethene (DAE) film based on a transistor structure, in which the DAE memory layer is recordable, erasable, and nondestructively readable by an electrical method. To realize such memory, we investigated each elementary process for recording, erasing, or nondestructive reading by current injection and electrostatic methods for the DAE layer. Both ring-opening and ring-closure isomerization reactions were confirmed for the injection of both carriers (electrons and holes). Hole injection induced ring-opening reaction only. These reaction modes can be utilized in the recording and erasing modes. Since no reactions for electron injection and current modulation based on photoisomerization were observed, electron current injection can be applied to nondestructive readout.
Transmission, reflection, and absorption spectroscopy of graphene microribbons in the terahertz region
Authors: Suzuki Satoru , Takamura Makoto , Yamamoto Hideki 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Both transmission and reflection spectra were obtained from graphene microribbons on a SiC substrate, which resonantly coupled with terahertz light through plasmon excitation. An absorption spectrum was also derived from the transmission and reflection spectra. Absorption by the confined intraband plasmons reached 5–10%/layer, which is considerably larger than the wavelength-independent interband absorption of 2.3%/layer. The absorption was found to be larger when the microribbons/substrate sample was illuminated from the back surface than from the ribbon surface because of an interference effect at the surface.

Abstract
We report on novel X-ray mirrors fabricated with a focused ion beam for future astronomical missions. We fabricated a test sample from a silicon wafer by forming six slits whose sidewalls were used as X-ray reflection surfaces. The six slits were designed with a size of 25 × 300 × 170 µm3 and with different inclination angles of 0 and ±1°. We examined X-ray reflection using three slits with different inclination angles at Al Kα 1.49 keV. Consequently, we demonstrated X-ray reflection from all the three slits. All the sidewalls have multiangular components with a microroughness of ∼1 nm rms. ∼30–45% of the total surface area is effective for X-ray reflection. We confirmed that the inclination angles are consistent with the designed values.

Published: September 2024

ImportanceFlare is a term commonly used in atopic dermatitis (AD) care settings and clinical research, but little consensus exists on what it means. Meanwhile, flare management is an important unmet research and treatment need. Understanding how various therapies might comparatively improve AD flares as a measure of treatment effectiveness may facilitate shared decision-making and enable assessment of effectiveness within and outside clinical settings.ObjectiveTo identify patient-reported attributes associated with an AD flare to develop a patient-centered, consensus-based working definition.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis consensus survey study used a modified eDelphi method involving consensus-building focus groups and a survey conducted from January 10 through October 24, 2023. Focus groups were conducted virtually, and the online survey was advertised to National Eczema Association members. US adults aged 18 years or older with AD were recruited via convenience sampling.ExposureLived experience of AD.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcome was consensus on which attributes of AD to include in a patient-centric definition of flare. Using a rating scale (range, 1-9), consensus for the modified eDelphi statement rating was defined as at least 70% of participants rating a statement as 7 to 9 (critical to a flare definition) and less than 15% rating it as 1 to 3 (not important).ResultsTwenty-six participants with AD who completed focus group activities (24 aged 18-44 years [92.3%] and 2 aged 45-64 years [7.7%]; 18 women [69.2%]) and 631 participants with AD (mean [SD] age, 45.5 [18.1] years; 533 women [84.5%]) who completed the survey were included in the analysis. Fifteen statements reached consensus from the focus groups, and of those, 12 reached consensus from survey participants. More than half (334 of 631 [52.9%]) of survey participants reported alignment with their health care practitioner on what a flare is, and most (478 of 616 [77.6%]) reported that a patient-centered definition would be useful when communicating with their health care practitioner about their condition.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this study, participants with AD reached consensus on what an AD flare means from the patient perspective. This understanding may improve research and care by addressing this key patient-centered aspect of evaluating treatment effectiveness.

ImportanceSuicide risk is elevated after discharge from inpatient level of care. Empirically supported inpatient suicide prevention treatments are needed.ObjectiveTo determine whether adding an inpatient version of brief cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide prevention to treatment as usual reduces postdischarge suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, and psychiatric readmissions and to determine whether substance use disorder moderates treatment effects.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis randomized clinical trial compared treatment as usual (n = 106) to treatment as usual plus brief cognitive behavioral therapy for inpatients (n = 94) at a private psychiatric hospital in Connecticut. Follow-up assessments were completed monthly for 6 months postdischarge. Participants were enrolled from January 2020 through February 2023. Inpatients admitted following a suicidal crisis (past-week suicide attempt or ideation with plan on admission and attempt within previous 2 years) were included. Medical records of consecutive admissions (n = 4137) were screened, 213 were study eligible and randomized, and 200 were analyzed. A total of 114 participants (57.0%) completed 6-month follow-up assessments. Data from medical records were also obtained through 6-month follow-up.InterventionUp to 4 individual sessions of brief cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide prevention designed for inpatients.Main Outcomes and MeasuresSuicide attempts and readmissions were assessed via blind interviews and medical record review. Suicidal ideation was assessed via self-report.ResultsThe mean (SD) age among 200 analyzed participants was 32.8 (12.6) years; 117 participants were female and 83 were male. Brief cognitive behavioral therapy–inpatient reduced the occurrence of suicide attempt over 6 months postdischarge by 60% (odds ratio, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.20-0.80; number needed to treat, 7) in the entire patient group, and the rate of psychiatric readmissions by 71% (rate ratio, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.09-0.90) in those without a substance use disorder. The effect of treatment condition on suicidal ideation was less clear, although post hoc analyses indicated less severe suicidal ideation following brief cognitive behavioral therapy–inpatient vs treatment as usual at 1 and 2 months postdischarge.Conclusions and RelevanceBrief cognitive behavioral therapy–inpatient reduced 6-month postdischarge suicide reattempts and rate of readmissions when added to treatment as usual. Substance use disorder moderated the treatment’s effect on readmission rates. Treatment effects on suicidal ideation were less clear. Implementation research is needed to facilitate dissemination. Additional research is also needed to optimize outcomes for individuals with substance use disorders.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04168645
Prioritization of Psychopathological Symptoms and Clinical Characterization in Psychiatric Diagnoses
Authors: Leucht Stefan , van Os Jim , Jäger Markus , Davis John M. 
Published: September 2024

ImportancePsychiatry mainly deals with conditions that are mediated by brain function but are not directly attributable to specific brain abnormalities. Given the lack of concrete biological markers, such as laboratory tests or imaging results, the development of diagnostic systems is difficult.ObservationsThis narrative review evaluated 9 diagnostic approaches. The validity of the DSM and the International Classification of Disorders (ICD) is limited. The Research Domain Criteria is a research framework, not a diagnostic system. The clinical utility of the quantitatively derived, dimensional Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology is questionable. The Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual Version 2 follows psychoanalytic theory and focuses on personality. Unlike the personality assessments in ICD-11 or DSM-5’s alternative model, based on pathological extremes of the big 5 traits (extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism), it lacks foundation in empirical evidence. Network analytic approaches are intriguing, but their complexity makes them difficult to implement. Staging would be easier if individually predictive biological markers were available. The problem with all these new approaches is that they abstract patient experiences into higher-order constructs, potentially obscuring individual symptoms so much that they no longer reflect patients’ actual problems.Conclusions and RelevanceICD and DSM diagnoses can be questioned, but the reality of psychopathological symptoms, such as hallucinations, depression, anxiety, compulsions, and the suffering stemming from them, cannot. Therefore, it may be advisable to primarily describe patients according to the psychopathological symptoms they present, and any resulting personal syndromes, embedded in a framework of contextual clinical characterization including personality assessment and staging. The DSM and ICD are necessary for reimbursement, but they should be simplified and merged. A primarily psychopathological symptoms–based, clinical characterization approach would be multidimensional and clinically useful, because it would lead to problem-oriented treatment and support transdiagnostic research. It should be based on a universally used instrument to assess psychopathology and structured clinical characterization.
