Published: April 2024

У статті подано результати емпіричного дослідження сприйняття образу майбутньої професії студентами-психологами. Для дослідження були використані: анкета «Уявлення про професію психолога» (анкети Д. Ветоха, Л. Подкоритової у модифікації А. Никитюк); методика «Двадцять тверджень», або «Хто я?» (М. Куна і Т. Макпартленда); методика «Диференційно-діагностичний опитувальник» (ДДО); опитувальник «Статус професійної ідентичності» (О. Радзімовська); опитувальник професійної спрямованості (ОПС) (Д. Голланд). Виявлено, що більшість досліджуваних ідентифікують себе із професією психолога, відповідають цьому психотипу за методиками ДДО і ОПС. Сприйняття образу майбутньої професії у досліджених студентів-психологів переважно реалістичне, однак, виявлені студенти, сприйняття образу майбутньої професії у яких є недостатньо реалістичним і дещо стереотипізованим.

Published: April 2024

У статті здійснюється теоретичне вивчення психологічного впливу реклами на покупця у процесі вибору модного бренду та його придбання. Виявлено, що володіння брендовою річчю відіграє важливу роль у формуванні самооцінки та соціальної ідентичності споживачі. Також, вплив реклами на споживача є суттєвим, оскільки сприяє усвідомленню бренду, формуванню асоціацій, підвищує його пізнаваність та стимулює бажання придбати продукт, використовуючи для цього візуальні та емоційні стратегії. З’ясовані ознаки, які вказують на негативні емоції та стрес, пов’язані з неможливістю придбати її, що в подальшому здатне впливатина психологічне і фізичне здоров’я споживача.
Встановлено, що рекламні стратегії, такі як використання відомих особистостей та присутність у соціальних мережах стимулюватиме попит на брендові речі також, призводитиме до збільшення витрат і надмірних очікувань. А використання маніпулятивних технік впливу реклами на споживача, підштовхує їх до покупки, створення штучної необхідності продукту, використання емоційного впливу, підсилення соціального тиску або створення ілюзії ексклюзивності. Більшість споживачів розглядають покупку брендової річчі як засіб підтримки свого статусу та ідентичності, що призводить до залежності від матеріальних речей та втрати автентичності. Окреслено перспективи подальших дослідження для вивчення впливубрендового споживання на соціальні відносини та емоційний стан споживачів для розробки ефективних інтервенцій.

Some of the worst effects associated with the Zika virus infection during gestation include microcephaly, and central nervous system damage. Pregnancy-related physical exercise is recognized to improve both the mother's and her unborn child's health. It is widely known that male newborns of late-pregnancy mother infection tend to exhibit more depressive and anxious behaviors as they age. However, nothing is known about how the Zika virus could affect a mother's behavior in the first few days after giving birth. The objective of this study was to evaluate if 4 weeks of moderate-intensity swimming during pregnancy prevents negative outcomes of prenatal Zika infection in the behavior of the dams. Dams were randomly selected and divided into three groups: Mock (n= 8) - untrained group, intraperitoneally injected with saline; Zika (n = 8) - untrained group, intraperitoneally injected with Zika; and Zika/swim (n = 8) - trained group, intraperitoneally injected with Zika. The swimming sessions were initiated before mating, which occurred between the 5th and 7th day of the 1st week of the swimming training, according to the estrous cycle and lasted until the parturition date. Prenatal Zika virus infection did not change maternal body weight or maternal behavior significantly independently of performing or not physical exercise.

Published: April 2024

The removal of toxic and harmful dyes like methylene blue (MB) from textile wastewater is necessary to reduce environmental pollution. Therefore, this study is aimed at removing MB from an aqueous solution using magnetite-doped biochar of parthenium hysterophorus. Biochar was prepared through pyrolysis techniques at 500 ℃ for 2 h whereas the magnetite and composite material were developed using coprecipitation methods. Herein, NaNO3 and FeSO4. 7H2O were utilized as precursor materials and NaOH as a precipitating agent for preparation of magnetite. Furthermore, pH point of zero charge (pHpzc), Scanning Electron microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) are characterization techniques used to evaluate the nature of the composite material. On the other hand, a full factorial design involving four factors at two levels (24) such as pH (3 and 9), contact time (10 and 40 min), initial dye concentration (100 and 150 mg/L) and adsorbent dosage of 0.01 and 0.04 g/100 mL was used to design and optimize the batch adsorption of MB from an aqueous solution. As a result, a maximum removal efficiency of 99.99% was attained at optimum operating conditions of pH 9, contact time 40 min, initial MB concentration 100 mg/L and adsorbent dosage of 0.04 g/100 mL. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were used to investigate the adsorption isotherm in which Freundlich isotherm with a maximum R2 of 0.98 was found to describe the adsorption process inferring multilayer and heterogeneous surface interaction. Additionally, the thermodynamics study depicts that the nature of the adsorption is spontaneous, endothermic and feasible. On the other hand, the chemosorption nature is revealed by the pseudo second kinetics model with a maximum R2 of 0.99. Finally, the remarkable reusability ranging from 99.98% to 97.6% for five consecutive cycles proved that the magnetic biochar derived from parthenium hysterophorus can be used as an effective adsorbent for the decolourization of MB saturated effluent at an industrial scale.

BackgroundSpinal anesthesia (SA) is a good alternative to general anesthesia (GA) for spine surgery. Despite that, a few case series concern the use of thoracic spinal anesthesia for short-duration surgical interventions. In search of an alternative approach to GA and a better opioid-free modality, we aimed to investigate the safety, feasibility, and patient satisfaction of thoracic SA for spine surgery.Materials and methodsWe analyzed retrospectively a cohort of 24 patients operated on for a degenerative and osteoporotic pathology of the lower thoracic and lumbar spine. Data was collected from medical records, including clinical notes, operative and anesthesia records, and patient questionnaires.ResultsTwenty-one surgeries for herniated discs, two for degenerative spinal stenosis, and one for multi-level osteoporotic vertebral body fractures were performed under spinal anesthesia with intrathecal sedation. In all cases, we applied 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine and the following adjuvants: midazolam, clonidine or dexmedetomidine, and dexamethasone. We boosted the anesthesia with local ropivacaine due to inefficient sensory block in two patients. Nobody in the cohort received intravenous opioids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or additional sedation intraoperatively. Postoperative painkillers were upon the patient’s request. No significant complications were detected.ConclusionThoracic spinal anesthesia incorporating adjuvants such as midazolam, clonidine or dexmedetomidine, and dexamethasone demonstrates not only efficient conditions for spine surgery, a favorable safety profile, high patient satisfaction, and intrathecal sedation but also effective opioid-free pain management.

IntroductionDigital gaming is a popular and often social activity, also among adults. However, we need more knowledge of the social dynamics of gaming and its potential benefits for one's well-being. The current study aimed to examine gaming motivation, time spent gaming, and gaming performed together with friends, family, or romantic partner and how these aspects relate to expanded social network and well-being among men and women with and without disability.MethodsRegular players of the popular game Fortnite Battle Royale (FBR; N = 278, 48.5% women, Mage = 32.38) completed an online questionnaire assessing their motivations for playing FBR (social motivation, achievement motivation, novelty motivation), time spent gaming, whom they usually play with, their psychological well-being, and FBR's impact on their life and social network. Differentiated statistical analyses on gender and disability were performed.Results and discussionThe results showed that time spent gaming and social motivation to play were associated with larger social networks for all participants (strongest for women). More time spent gaming FBR was also associated with a positive impact on life for those with a disability. Social motivation to play was positively associated with a positive impact on life for men and those without a disability and increased well-being for women. Novelty motivation, which concerns experiencing new features in the game, was associated with a positive impact on life for women and with a decrease in well-being for those with a disability. This study demonstrated that gaming can be an essential social arena associated with positive outcomes for men, women and disabled people, who—when socially motivated—may expand their social networks through gaming.
Deep learned triple-tracer multiplexed PET myocardial image separation
Authors: Pan Bolin , Marsden Paul K. , Reader Andrew J. 
Published: April 2024

IntroductionIn multiplexed positron emission tomography (mPET) imaging, physiological and pathological information from different radiotracers can be observed simultaneously in a single dynamic PET scan. The separation of mPET signals within a single PET scan is challenging due to the fact that the PET scanner measures the sum of the PET signals of all the tracers. The conventional multi-tracer compartment modeling (MTCM) method requires staggered injections and assumes that the arterial input functions (AIFs) of each tracer are known.MethodsIn this work, we propose a deep learning-based method to separate triple-tracer PET images without explicitly knowing the AIFs. A dynamic triple-tracer noisy MLEM reconstruction was used as the network input, and dynamic single-tracer noisy MLEM reconstructions were used as training labels.ResultsA simulation study was performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed framework on triple-tracer ([F18]FDG+Rb82+[Tc99m]sestamibi) PET myocardial imaging. The results show that the proposed methodology substantially reduced the noise level compared to the results obtained from single-tracer imaging. Additionally, it achieved lower bias and standard deviation in the separated single-tracer images compared to the MTCM-based method at both the voxel and region of interest (ROI) levels.DiscussionAs compared to MTCM separation, the proposed method uses spatiotemporal information for separation, which improves the separation performance at both the voxel and ROI levels. The simulation study also demonstrates the feasibility and potential of the proposed DL-based method for the application to pre-clinical and clinical studies.
Acute effects of mango leaf extract on cognitive function in healthy adults: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study

Published: April 2024

IntroductionExtracts made from the leaves of the edible mango plant (Mangifera indica L., Anacardiaceae) have a long history of medicinal usage, most likely due to the presence of high levels of mangiferin, a polyphenol compound. Previous research has demonstrated that mango leaf extract (MLE) can beneficially modulate cognitive function in both animals and humans. This study aimed to assess the effects of an acute dose of 300 mg MLE (standardised to contain ≥60% mangiferin) on cognitive performance and mood in healthy adults.MethodsIn this double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, 114 healthy men and women (18–43 years) received either MLE or a matched placebo at each testing visit (separated by at least 7 days). Cognitive performance (including the cognitive demand battery) and mood were measured at 30, 180, and 300 min post-dose.ResultsThe results showed that, compared to placebo, the group taking MLE displayed a significant increase in serial 3 s and serial 7 s subtraction errors overall. There were no other significant effects on cognitive performance.DiscussionThe results of the current study suggest that the consumption of 300 mg MLE in the absence of an observed multitasking psychological stressor does not improve cognitive performance or mood at up to 300 min post-dose. Due to the very limited nature of the effects and since they were observed among many analyses, these findings should be treated with caution.Clinical trial registration: http://ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier [NCT05182450].

BackgroundAdapted physical activity programs have shown promising results in reducing the physical, social and psychological side effects associated with breast cancer, but the extent to which they can be effectively adopted, implemented and maintained is unclear. The aim of this study is to use the framework to guide the planning and evaluation of programs according to the 5 following keys: Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework to evaluate a fencing program under the French acronym RIPOSTE (Reconstruction, Image de soi, Posture, Oncologie, Santé, Thérapie, Escrime) literally in English (Reconstruction, Self-Image, Posture, Oncology, Health, Therapy, Fencing). This program is an innovative intervention focused on improving the quality of life (QoL) of breast cancer surgery patients through fencing.MethodsA convergent mixed methods pilot study was conducted to preliminary evaluate the different RE-AIM dimension of the pilot program. Twenty-four participants who have just undergone surgery for invasive breast cancer were randomly allocated in two groups: one group started immediately after their inclusion (Early RIPOSTE group) and the other started 3 months following their inclusion (Delayed RIPOSTE group). Participants answered a questionnaire at inclusion and at the end of the program on QoL, shoulder functional capacity, fatigue, anxiety-depression and physical activity.ResultsRIPOSTE program was able to reach mainly young and dynamic participants, attracted by the originality of fencing and keen to improve their physical condition. Regarding effectiveness, our results suggest a trend to the improvement of QoL, shoulder functional capacity, fatigue and anxiety-depression state, even without any significant differences between the Early RIPOSTE group and the Delayed RIPOSTE group.DiscussionsThe cooperation, exchanges and cohesion within the group greatly facilitated the adoption of the program, whereas interruptions during school vacations were the main barriers. The intervention was moderately well implemented and adherence to the protocol was suitable.ConclusionRIPOSTE is an acceptable and effective program for involving breast cancer survivors in physical activity, that needs to be tested at a larger scale to investigate its effectiveness, but has the potential to be transferred and scaled up worldwide.

Published: April 2024

BackgroundSeveral previous studies found a positive relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and thyroid cancer (TC) risk. However, there is no research that has studied the relationship between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), a novel surrogate marker for IR, and TC incidence. Thus, we designed this retrospective cohort study to evaluate the relationship between the incidence of TC and METS-IR.MethodWe analyzed a cohort of 314,321 Korean adults aged over 40 years who participated in the National Health Screening Program from 2009 to 2010. The individuals were divided into four groups based on METS-IR quartiles. Follow-up was until the diagnosis of TC or death, or until December 31, 2019, if neither. The relationship between METS-IR and TC incidence was analyzed using the Cox proportional-hazards model with multi-variable adjustments.ResultsA total of 4,137 participants (1.3%) were diagnosed with TC during a mean follow-up of 9.5 ± 1.5 years. The population with Q1 METS-IR scores showed higher disease-free probabilities than those with Q4 METS-IR scores (p &lt;0.001). The hazard ratio (95% confidential interval) for TC incidence in Q2, Q3, and Q4 METS-IR value were 1.14 (1.05 to 1.25), 1.21 (1.11 to 1.33), and 1.30 (1.18 to 1.42) compared with Q1 of METS-IR, respectively. The incidence of TC tended to increase with increasing METS-IR values in the total population, especially the male population in the restricted cubic spline. In subgroup analysis, the TC risk was more pronounced in the subgroups under 65 and with a BMI &lt; 25 kg/m2.ConclusionMETS-IR was positively correlated with TC incidence in Korea.
