A Penny for Your Thoughts: Athletes’ and Trainee Sport Psychologists’ Internal Dialogue During Consultations
Authors: Tod David , McEwan Hayley E. , Whitehead Amy E. , Marchant Daryl 
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore the internal dialogue of trainee sport psychologists (TSPs) and athletes immediately following athlete–practitioner consultations. TSPs (four male and three female, age 22–32 years) and athletes (four male, three female, age 19–29 years) completed a thought-listing procedure twice, while watching video recordings of their previous consultations. The thought-listing procedure involved participants’ pausing the video to record the in-session internal dialogue they had experienced during the consultation. Participants’ responses were categorized into six dimensions: time, place, focus, locus, orientation, and mode. TSPs’ and athletes’ retrospective accounts provided evidence that their in-session internal dialogue was (a) present focused, (b) about in-session material, (c) about the athletes or themselves, (d) about internal and external events, (e) professional (i.e., related to the session), and (f) neutral. Findings provide trainees and inexperienced practitioners with insights into the thought content of TSPs and athletes to guide their own athlete interactions.
Kenshi’s Experiences of Sword Fighting in Kendo: The Way of Ippon With Soul, Sword, and Body
Authors: Sato Takahiro , Jensen Peter R. , Wrisberg Craig A. 
Published: January 2024

In response to recent calls for promoting the contextual intelligence of sport psychology practitioners, the aim of the current study was to obtain the first-person competitive experiences of kendo fighters (i.e., kenshi). Existential phenomenological interviews were conducted with eight competitive Japanese-American kenshi residing in the United States. The findings of thematic analysis indicated that the participants possessed a strong commitment to earning ippon (i.e., a valid point), which was achieved by a subjective synchronization of mind, sword, and body in the execution of a strike against an opponent. They considered this to be a transformative experience, which elevated them perceptually out of the sporting context to a momentary sense of “cutting” the opponent with a real sword. The current findings also offer sport psychology consultants possible context-specific insights (e.g., importance of seme) and strategies (e.g., management of attentional focus, self-regulation techniques) for assisting kenshi in preparing for competitive situations.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
The biologic, hydrologic, and geomorphic effects of wildfire are complex and three dimensional, covering not only the burned surface but also extending down into the soil. Increasing recognition of the impact of climate change and shifting land-use patterns on the frequency and scale of wildfires has increased the level of concern and research into the impact of fire on landscapes. In this chapter, we (1) review the environmental factors that control the behavior of wildfire; (2) provide an assessment of the methods and challenges associated with evaluations of the role of water repellency in short- and longer-term postfire hillslope impacts and recovery rates; (3) discuss the utilization of a recently developed method for assessing postfire water repellency on hillslopes involving high-frequency ground-penetrating radar (HFGPR); and (4) note emerging methods available to help advance our understanding of the impact of fire and water repellency on hillslope biologic, hydrologic, and geomorphic processes that affect ecosystems.

ObjectivesTo assess the relative benefits of various non-pharmacological interventions on treating primary dysmenorrhoea within a network meta-analysis.Study designSystematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis.Inclusion criteriaRandomised controlled trial involving patient with primary dysmenorrhoea and received non-pharmacological interventions.Data sourcesFour databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science) were searched from inception to October first, 2022.Risk-of-bias (RoB) assessmentRoB 2.0 assessment tools was used to assess the risk of bias in the included studies.Synthesis of resultsConventional meta-analysis was conducted by pairwise comparison between non-pharmacological therapy and control treatment. The Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted by the Aggregate Data Drug Information System Software based on the consistency or inconsistency model, and rank probability was used to indicate the priority of non-pharmacological therapy.Results33 studies involving eight non-pharmacological interventions were included. With regard to conventional meta-analysis, we selected Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as primary outcome to evaluate the pain intensity. The result showed that eight interventions (Exercise, Herb, Acupuncture, Aromatherapy, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, Topical heat, Acupressure, Yoga) displayed positive effect on reduction of menstrual pain compared with placebo or no treatment. A Bayesian network meta-analysis revealed that exercise −3.20 (95% CI −4.01 to −2.34), acupuncture −2.90 (95% CI −3.97 to −2.85) and topical heat −2.97 (95% CI −4.66 to −1.29) probably resulted in a reduction in pain intensity (VAS) .ConclusionsNon-pharmacological interventions may result in a reduction or slight reduction in pain intensity compared with no treatment or placebo. Specifically, exercise and acupuncture are considered as potentially effective non-pharmacological treatments in short-term treatment. Indeed, larger and better methodological quality research is needed.Trial registration numberCRD42022351021.

IntroductionStroke is the second-leading cause of death and disability globally. Participation in physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone of secondary prevention in stroke care. Given the heterogeneous nature of stroke, PA interventions that are adaptive to individual performance are recommended. Mobile health (mHealth) has been identified as a potential approach to supporting PA poststroke. To this end, we aim to use a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomised Trial (SMART) design to develop an adaptive, user-informed mHealth intervention to improve PA poststroke.Methods and analysisThe components included in the 12-week intervention are based on empirical evidence and behavioural change theory and will include treatments to increase participation in Structured Exercise and Lifestyle or a combination of both. 117 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment components. At 6 weeks postinitial randomisation, participants will be classified as responders or non-responders based on participants’ change in step count. Non-responders to the initial treatment will be randomly assigned to a different treatment allocation. The primary outcome will be PA (steps/day), feasibility and secondary clinical and cost outcomes will also be included. A SMART design will be used to evaluate the optimum adaptive PA intervention among community-dwelling, ambulatory people poststroke.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval has been granted by the Health Service Executive Mid-Western Ethics Committee (REC Ref: 026/2022). The findings will be submitted for publication and presented at relevant national and international academic conferencesTrials registration numberNCT05606770.

Published: January 2024

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of anxiety and depression on clinician decision-making in patients suffering from chronic eye disease in ophthalmological clinical practice.Design and settingThis multicentre observational study, in collaboration with the WHO, included ophthalmologists and their patients affected by chronic eye disease. States of anxiety and depression were screened with specific questionnaires, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), self-administered by patients before the visit. In the present analysis, we report data from three major eye care centres in Italy between 2021 and 2022.Primary and secondary outcomesTo assess self-reported changes in ophthalmologists’ clinical approach (communication style and their clinical-therapeutic strategies) and decisions after knowing questionnaire scores (primary aim), and to analyse the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores in patients with chronic eye diseases (secondary aim).Results41 ophthalmologists and 359 patients were included. The results from PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores showed critical depression and anxiety status scores (PHQ-9 ≥5 and GAD-7 ≥10) in 258 patients. In 74% of cases, no actions were taken by the ophthalmologists based on these scores; in 26% of cases, they changed their clinical approach; and in 14% of cases, they referred the patients for psychological/psychiatric evaluation.ConclusionsStates of anxiety and depression affect many patients with chronic eye conditions and need to be detected and managed early to improve patients’ well-being. Providing ophthalmologists with knowledge of their patients’ psychological conditions can change the clinical management and attitude towards referral for a psychological evaluation. Further studies are needed to expand our knowledge of how to raise awareness among ophthalmologists regarding multimorbidity of patients suffering from chronic eye diseases in order to achieve better clinical outcomes.
Women’s experiences of the diagnostic journey in uterine adenomyosis: a scoping review protocol
Authors: Taylor Margaret A , Croudace Tim J , McBride Margot , Muir Fiona E 
Published: January 2024

IntroductionUterine adenomyosis is a benign gynaecological disease that causes physical and psychological problems, impacting on relationships. It is poorly understood and consequently may be diagnosed late. This protocol describes the process of conducting a systematic scoping review to retrieve and describe literature examining the daily experience and impact of living with uterine adenomyosis. It will explore the journey to diagnosis (and perceptions of what this process is like); identify the main concepts currently used in the literature and highlight gaps in knowledge for future research in relevant populations.Methods and analysisUsing the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, the population–concept–context approach is used to form clear review questions. A three-phase search strategy will locate published and unpublished evidence from multiple sources. All articles reporting on the personal experiences of women diagnosed with uterine adenomyosis will be considered. Findings from qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method study designs from all settings will be included, not limited by geography but restricted to English. Documents will be screened by the primary researcher, supported by university supervisors. Search outputs will be presented using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 flow diagram. No formal quality appraisal will be conducted. Review findings will be descriptively collated and reported consistent with the Scoping Review Extension of the PRISMA checklist. Patient and public involvement engagement reflected a positive response for the project that this protocol supports.Ethics and disseminationAs primary data will not be collected, formal ethical approval is not required. Prepared as part of a professional doctorate thesis, the findings of this study will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, support groups and social media networks.

IntroductionInformed consent forms (ICFs) for randomised clinical trials (RCTs) can be onerous and lengthy. The process has the potential to overwhelm patients with information, leading them to miss elements of the study that are critical for an informed decision. Specifically, overly long and complicated ICFs have the potential to increase barriers to trial participation for patients with mild cognitive impairment, those who do not speak English as a first language or among those with lower medical literacy. In turn, this can influence trial recruitment, completion and external validity.Methods and analysisSIMPLY-SNAP is a pragmatic, multicentre, open-label, two-arm parallel-group superiority RCT, nested within a larger trial, theStaphylococcus aureusNetwork Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial. We will randomise potentially eligible participants of the SNAP trial 1:1 to a full-length ICF or a SIMPlified LaYered (SIMPLY) consent process where basic information is summarised with embedded hyperlinks to supplemental information and videos. The primary outcome is recruitment into the SNAP trial. Secondary outcomes include patient understanding of the clinical trial, patient and research staff satisfaction with the consent process, and time taken for consent. As an exploratory outcome, we will also compare measures of diversity (eg, gender, ethnicity), according to the consent process randomised to. The planned sample size will be 346 participants.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the ethics review board (Sunnybrook Health Sciences Research Ethics Board) at sites in Ontario. We will disseminate study results via the SNAP trial group and other collaborating clinical trial networks.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT06168474;www.clinicaltrials.gov).
Cleft lip and/or palate mortality trends in the USA: a retrospective population-based study
Authors: Huang Ryan S , Mihalache Andrew , Wong Riff Karen W Y 
Published: January 2024

BackgroundCleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is one of the most common congenital anomalies worldwide. Although CL/P management may require a series of interventions, mortality resulting from CL/P alone is rare. This study aims to examine recent trends of CL/P mortality rates in the USA.MethodsA retrospective population-based study was conducted using official US birth and death certificate data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2000 to 2019. Annual mortality rates per 1000 births with CL/P were calculated across sex and racial groups. Multivariable logistic regression models estimated the effects of sex and race on the risk of mortality with CL/P, and linear regression models were used to examine temporal changes in mortality rate across sex and race.ResultsFrom 2000 to 2019, 1119 deaths occurred in patients with documented CL/P, for an overall incidence of 20.3 deaths per 1000 births with CL/P (95% CI 18.9 to 22.8). Of these, Patau syndrome was the listed cause of death in 167 cases (14.9%). Black individuals (OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.85 to 2.01), Hispanic (1.54, 1.49 to 1.58) and American Indian individuals (1.28, 1.20 to 1.35) were at a greater risk of CL/P mortality compared with white individuals. Additionally, females were also at a greater risk (1.35, 1.21 to 1.49). A significant upward trend in CL/P mortality was observed in Hispanic (r2=0.70, p<0.01) and American Indian individuals (r2=0.81, p<0.01) from 2000 to 2019.ConclusionsCleft birth and mortality surveillance is essential in healthcare and prevention planning. Future studies are required to understand the differences in CL/P mortality rates across various sociodemographic groups.
Modeling teams performance using deep representational learning on graphs

Published: January 2024

AbstractMost human activities require collaborations within and across formal or informal teams. Our understanding of how the collaborative efforts spent by teams relate to their performance is still a matter of debate. Teamwork results in a highly interconnected ecosystem of potentially overlapping components where tasks are performed in interaction with team members and across other teams. To tackle this problem, we propose a graph neural network model to predict a team’s performance while identifying the drivers determining such outcome. In particular, the model is based on three architectural channels: topological, centrality, and contextual, which capture different factors potentially shaping teams’ success. We endow the model with two attention mechanisms to boost model performance and allow interpretability. A first mechanism allows pinpointing key members inside the team. A second mechanism allows us to quantify the contributions of the three driver effects in determining the outcome performance. We test model performance on various domains, outperforming most classical and neural baselines. Moreover, we include synthetic datasets designed to validate how the model disentangles the intended properties on which our model vastly outperforms baselines.
AKT1 interacts with DHX9 to Mitigate R Loop–Induced Replication Stress in Ovarian Cancer

Published: January 2024

Abstract

PARP inhibitor (PARPi)–resistant BRCA-mutant (BRCAm) high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) represents a new clinical challenge with unmet therapeutic needs. Here, we performed a quantitative high-throughput drug combination screen that identified the combination of an ATR inhibitor (ATRi) and an AKT inhibitor (AKTi) as an effective treatment strategy for both PARPi-sensitive and PARPi-resistant BRCAm HGSOC. The ATRi and AKTi combination induced DNA damage and R loop–mediated replication stress (RS). Mechanistically, the kinase domain of AKT1 directly interacted with DHX9 and facilitated recruitment of DHX9 to R loops. AKTi increased ATRi-induced R loop–mediated RS by mitigating recruitment of DHX9 to R loops. Moreover, DHX9 was upregulated in tumors from patients with PARPi-resistant BRCAm HGSOC, and high coexpression of DHX9 and AKT1 correlated with worse survival. Together, this study reveals an interaction between AKT1 and DHX9 that facilitates R loop resolution and identifies combining ATRi and AKTi as a rational treatment strategy for BRCAm HGSOC irrespective of PARPi resistance status.

Significance:
Inhibition of the AKT and ATR pathways cooperatively induces R loop–associated replication stress in high-grade serous ovarian cancer, providing rationale to support the clinical development of AKT and ATR inhibitor combinations.

Unveiling visionary frontiers: a survey of cutting-edge techniques in deep learning for retinal disease diagnosis
Authors: Rajatha Rajatha , Davanageri Virupakshappa Ashoka 
Published: January 2024

Retinal disorders impact millions of people globally. These disorders can be detected and diagnosed early enough to not only cure but also avoid permanent blindness. Manual identification of these diseases has always been tedious, time-consuming, and inconsistent. For ophthalmologists, retinal fundus images are a valuable source of information in diagnosing retinal diseases. Automatic identification of eye disorders using artificial intelligence (AI) based learning models has seen substantial development in the computer vision sector recently. Various models, particularly deep learning (DL) models are incredible in identifying and classifying diseases. In the presented review, we have performed an in-depth analysis of various existing DL models, involving preprocessing, classification, segmentation, and techniques to deal with data imbalance. We have also endeavored to gauge the effectiveness of these models by evaluating their performance using the metrics employed in their assessment. In addition, we explored various challenges along with the potential future scope in this domain.<p> </p>
Acoustic and visual geometry descriptor for multi-modal emotion recognition fromvideos
Authors: Ramyasree Kummari , Sumanth Kumar Chennupati 
Published: January 2024

<span>Recognizing human emotions simultaneously from multiple data modalities (e.g., face, and speech) has drawn significant research interest, and numerous research contributions have been investigated in the affective computing community. However, most methods concentrate less on facial alignment and keyframe selection for audio-visual input. Hence, this paper proposed a new audio-visual descriptor, mainly concentrating on describing the emotion through only a few frames. For this purpose, we proposed a new self-similarity distance matrix (SSDM), which computes the spatial, and temporal distances through landmark points on the facial image. The audio signal is described through an asset of composite features, including statistical features, spectral features, formant frequencies, and energies. A support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is employed to classify both models, and the final results are fused to predict the emotion. Surrey audio-visual expressed emotion (SAVEE) and Ryerson multimedia research lab (RML) datasets are utilized for experimental validation, and the proposed method has shown significant improvement from the state of art methods.</span>
Por uma Genealogia das Festas de Fim do Mundo

Why to think the past only or mostly by trauma and wounds? This essay tries to propose a genealogy at cinema through parties especially those related to the ends of worlds especially from a transcultural and transhistorical constellation that include following movies “Marie Antoinette” (Sofia Coppola, 2006), “Rules of the game” (Jean Renoir, 1939) and “Earrings of Madame de...” (Max Ophüls, 1953), We understand moments like French Revolution, First and Second World Wars as ends of the world at these movies in which there is a sensation of frail or melancholic temporality mixed with joy.
