The Use of Kinesthetic Empathy with Adults Living with Treatment Resistant Depression: A Survey Study
Authors: Christopher Neha , Tamplin Jeanette 
Published: September 2022

AbstractDance/movement therapy is an embodied healing practice which has been found to foster recovery from depression and boost quality of life. Although kinesthetic empathy holds great potential for addressing emotional dysregulation, it is an under-utilized dance/movement therapy intervention in health optimization, especially in adults living with treatment-resistant depression. The aim of this study was to collect data from dance/movement therapist on how they use kinesthetic empathy to foster self-regulation in adults living with treatment-resistant depression. A survey design was used to obtain this data. Eight dance/movement therapists (practicing in India, Philippines, Barbados, and the United States of America) were recruited. The participant demographics of the survey challenges the centrality of master’s level trained dance/movement therapists primarily practicing in Eurocentric cultures. The survey included open answer questions, and responses received were grouped into four categories: (i) dance/movement therapists’ rationale for using kinesthetic empathy (ii) therapist-described client responses to kinesthetic empathy, (iii) changes in self-regulation patterns of clients, and (iv) potential links between employing kinesthetic empathy as an intervention and witnessing emotional regulation in clients. Overall, kinesthetic empathy was described as a core part of the participants’ dance/movement therapy practice with this population. The identified client responses to kinesthetic empathy were categorized based on deWitte’s et al. (Frontiers in Psychology, 2021) therapeutic factors of change. ‘Observable client responses’, such as, use of metaphors, verbalization of body sensations and engaging in mirroring were categorized under specific therapeutic factors of dance/movement therapy. Alternatively, ‘emotionally felt client responses’ such as, increase in safety and trust within the therapeutic alliance were categorized under both ‘specific’ and ‘mixed-type’ factors based on the model. Finally, this article discusses movement interventions that may be incorporated by dance/movement therapists while working with this population. Further research is required to identify the long-term effect/s of kinesthetic empathy as an intentional intervention to foster self-regulation in adults living with treatment-resistant depression.

AbstractOver the last two decades, Afghanistan has been a leading country of origin for asylum seekers and refugees arriving in Australia. It is widely recognized that humanitarian migrants experience poorer sexual and reproductive health than the broader population. In turn, a body of research has emerged exploring the sexual and reproductive health of the local Afghan community. However, this has predominantly focused on youth or perinatal experiences, and less attention has been given to the broader relational and social dimensions of sexuality. Accordingly, this research aimed to explore the perspectives and experiences of married Afghan women and men as they navigate and negotiate sex, sexuality, and intimate relationships following settlement in Melbourne, Australia. A total of 57 Afghan women and men participated in six focus group discussions and 20 semi-structured interviews. Male participants described the ways that having increased access to sex and sexually explicit materials in Australia is creating opportunities for them to establish more fulfilling sex lives. Many women also described a growing awareness of sexuality, although often expressed difficulty prioritizing and claiming more pleasurable sexual encounters for themselves. However, concerns about sexual freedom are also creating new challenges for the Afghan community living in Australia in relation to sex and relationships. For example, men expressed fears about women exercising sexual liberties outside of the home, and this appeared to place women’s everyday behavior under increased scrutiny. Women also voiced concerns about how easily men can access sex outside of marriage within Australia, and described how this amplified their sense of obligation to be sexually compliant and meet their husband’s desires. This study provides new insights into the ways that Afghan community members are moving between societies, and how their understandings of sexual participation, pleasure, desire, health, consent, and capacity for self-determination are being challenged, reshaped, and reconstructed throughout this process.
A close supermassive black hole binary in Centaurus A?
Authors: Cosandey David A. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project has recently published a high-resolution picture of the Centaurus A galaxy core, where a supermassive black hole (SMBH) is supposed to be located. This picture has been accompanied with interpretation difficulties. In particular, the expected central SMBH and its accretion disk are not detected, the conical forward plasma jet seems hollow and its bended shape is difficult to explain. We argue that this image could in fact reveal the existence of two SMBHs, instead of one. Within this alternative interpretation, the black holes and their disks become visible on the image, the curved jet shapes may more easily be explained and the jets display no dark spine. The putative SMBH binary system shows a projected separation distance of ∼0.4-0.7 milliparsec. This is 700 times narrower than the NGC 7674 SMBH binary, so far the visually-identified system with the shortest such distance (0.35 pc). The orbital period can be inferred to lie in the 101to 10−1yr magnitude range. The image suggests a double helical jet structure that, if real, would support the lower end of this estimation range. If confirmed by future observations, this close SMBH binary in Centaurus A will be of great interest as a testing ground for SMBH binary dynamics models and plasma jet studies.
An empirical evaluation of a novel domain-specific language – modelling vehicle routing problems with Athos
Authors: Hoffmann Benjamin , Urquhart Neil , Chalmers Kevin , Guckert Michael 
Published: September 2022

AbstractDomain-specific languages (DSLs) are a popular approach among software engineers who demand for a tailored development interface. A DSL-based approach allows to encapsulate the intricacies of the target platform in transformations that turn DSL models into executable software code. Often, DSLs are even claimed to reduce development complexity to a level that allows them to be successfully applied by domain-experts with limited programming knowledge. Recent research has produced some scientifically backed insights on the benefits and limitations of DSLs. Further empirical studies are required to build a sufficient body of knowledge from which support for different claims related to DSLs can be derived. In this research study, we adopt current DSL evaluation approaches to investigate potential gains in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, through the application of our DSL Athos, a language developed for the domain of traffic and transportation simulation and optimisation. We compare Athos to the alternative of using an application library defined within a general-purpose language (GPL). We specified two sets of structurally identical tasks from the domain of vehicle routing problems and asked study groups with differing levels of programming knowledge to solve the tasks with the two approaches. The results show that inexperienced participants achieved considerable gains in effectiveness and efficiency with the usage of Athos DSL. Though hinting at Athos being the more efficient approach, the results were less distinct for more experienced programmers. The vast majority of participants stated to prefer working with Athos over the usage of the presented GPL’s API.
Contribution of freshwater metazooplankton to aquatic ecosystem services: an overview
Authors: Declerck Steven A. J. , de Senerpont Domis Lisette N. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractAlthough its role in the functioning of aquatic systems is widely recognized, the contribution of freshwater metazooplankton (metazoan plankton) to ecosystem services (ES) is seldom considered. Here we aim at providing a first overview of how this group contributes to ecosystem services according to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment framework. We show that although metazooplankton hardly generates any provisioning services, it provides crucial support to the generation of other services. Metazooplankton is important for fisheries because it forms an essential food item for the larval and juvenile stages of most freshwater fish and acts as a trophic link between phytoplankton and microbial communities and the fish community. Through its stoichiometric homeostasis and ability to feed on biochemically complementary food sources it may also act as a buffer against bottom-up effects of nutrient deficiencies in primary producers. Metazooplankton often has a crucial regulatory function by controlling phytoplankton growth and dissolved organic carbon, contributing to the quality of drinking and irrigation water supplies and of the underwater light climate. It provides attractive study material for didactic purposes and some taxa have served as model systems that have considerably aided progress in scientific disciplines, such as ecology, evolutionary biology, ecotoxicology, environmental, and biomedical sciences.

Abstract
Purpose
To analyze the choroidal thickness between patients with keratoconus undergoing cross-linking treatment and a healthy population, as well as to determine the factors that influence choroidal thickness.

Methods
This was an observational, analytical, case–control study that was conducted from February 2021 to June 2021. Choroidal thickness was measured at different locations, including the subfoveal, nasal (1000 μm), temporal (1000 μm), superior (1000 μm) and inferior (1000 μm) locations using a Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging, which allowed us to obtain horizontal and vertical B-scans centered on the fovea.

Results
This study included 21 patients with keratoconus (mean age, 21.86 ± 5.28 years) and 28 healthy patients (mean age, 24.21 ± 4.71 years). Choroidal thickness was significantly greater in patients with keratoconus than in healthy patients in each of the following measured locations: subfoveal (P < 0.001); nasal (1000 μm) (P < 0.001), temporal (1000 μm) (P < 0.001), superior (1000 μm) (P < 0.001) and inferior (1000 μm) (P < 0.001) locations. Variables such as age (ρ = − 0.09; P = 0.50) and refraction (ρ = 0.14; P = 0.34) were not found to be associated with choroidal thickness. In a stepwise multiple linear regression, the group was the single variable correlated with choroidal thickness (β = 0.88; P < 0.001).

Conclusion
Choroidal thickness is thicker in keratoconus patients treated with cross-linking than in the healthy population. This finding could be associated with inflammatory choroidal mechanisms in keratoconus patients, but more studies are needed. Age and refractive error do not seem to influence choroidal thickness.

Authors: Riedl Jana Catharina , Rings Severin , Schuster Alexander K , Vossmerbaeumer Urs 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate ocular and systemic risk factors for posterior chamber intraocular lens dislocation, as well as forms of manifestation.

Methods
A retrospective case–control study were all patients presented in the period 2012–2016 having intraocular lens dislocation and being treated with implantation of an iris-fixated intraocular lens was conducted at the University Hospital Mainz. As controls, pseudophakic patients presenting for other reasons were included.

Results
150 eyes of 150 patients (mean age 72.7 ± 12.4 years, range 24–93 years) with IOL dislocation and 150 eyes of 103 controls were included in this study. The average time between primary implantation and IOL luxation was 86 months (iQR: 39.25–127 months) for all dislocations. Previous pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (crudeOR = 2.14 (95% CI 1.23, 3.72), p = 0.011) and PEX (crudeOR = 11.6 (4.79, 28.12), p < 0.001) was linked with a higher risk of IOL luxation. Luxation occurs also earlier in patients with previous PPV and PEX than in eyes with neither PEX nor previous PPV (82.2 vs. 127 months). Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was the major pathology that required a previous PPV for eyes with an IOL dislocation (57%). The average time between PPV and IOL dislocation was 74.67 months (range 0–186 months).

Conclusion
Patients with a coexistence of both: PEX and a previous PPV had an elevated risk of IOL dislocation, and also had a shorter time interval between primary IOL implantation and IOL dislocation followed by eyes with PEX only and eyes with only a previous PPV.

AbstractEffective parent-teacher partnerships improve outcomes for autistic students. Yet, we know little about what effective partnerships look like for parents of autistic children from different backgrounds. We conducted interviews with 17 Chinese parents of autistic children attending Australian kindergartens/schools to understand their experiences. Parents appreciated the acceptance, opportunities and supports they received in Australia. They had high expectations of children; expectations not often shared by educators. Parents were respectful of teachers’ expertise and polite and undemanding in interactions. Nevertheless, parents were frustrated by inconsistent teaching quality and inadequate communication. Navigating systems was also challenging and parents faced discrimination from teachers and their community. Recommendations include fostering open home-school communication, proactively seeking parents’ expertise about children and explicitly scaffolding parents’ self-advocacy.

Published: September 2022

AbstractWithin the context of Industry 4.0 and of the new emerging Industry 5.0, human factors are becoming increasingly important, especially in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). This paper provides a novel study focused on the human aspects involved in industrial HRC by exploring the effects of various HRC setting factors. In particular, this paper aims at investigating the impact of industrial HRC on user experience, affective state, and stress, assessed through both subjective measures (i.e., questionnaires) and objective ones (i.e., physiological signals). A collaborative assembly task was implemented with different configurations, in which the robot movement speed, the distance between the operator and the robot workspace, and the control of the task execution time were varied. Forty-two participants were involved in the study and provided feedbacks on interaction quality and their affective state. Participants’ physiological responses (i.e., electrodermal activity and heart rate) were also collected non-invasively to monitor the amount of stress generated by the interaction. Analysis of both subjective and objective responses revealed how the configuration factors considered influence them. Robot movement speed and control of the task execution time resulted to be the most influential factors. The results also showed the need for customization of HRC to improve ergonomics, both psychological and physical, and the well-being of the operator.
Conceptualisation and Measurement of Reflective Process in Psychotherapy: A Systematic Scoping Review
Authors: Sidis Anna E. , Moore A. , Pickard J. A. , Deane F. P. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractPsychological therapies use talk as a means to produce change for individuals who are experiencing distress. Despite a significant body of research comparing approaches, there is little evidence for the superiority of one model over another. The process of reflection has been suggested as a common factor across modalities, and research aiming to measure this phenomenon is emerging. This scoping review is focussed on the conceptualisations, measurement and process outcomes of reflective talk as it occurs during therapy. Twenty-two studies were selected from a total of 3712 papers identified following a systematic search of SCOPUS, MEDLINE, PsychINFO and Web of Science databases. A variety of descriptors emerged: intrapersonal constructs such as mentalization and metacognition tended to view reflectivity as an individually acquired skill or trait, where other descriptors adopted an interpersonal understanding of reflection as co-constructed through dialogue. Our findings suggest a shift from individual to intersubjective understandings of reflecting processes in therapy may be a valuable area for future research.
Gendered Discourses of Responsibility and Domestic Abuse Victim-Blame in the English Children’s Social Care System
Authors: Wild Jessica 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Purpose
This paper foregrounds the experiences of mothers involved with England’s children’s social care system when experiencing domestic abuse. It reports on data from a survivor-led study on domestic violence and/or abuse (DVA), involving women victim-survivors and domestic abuse practitioners. It aimed to understand how dominant discourses governing child protection work with families in which there is a perpetrator of DVA, might be revised to shift a tendency to hold mothers (solely) responsible for the protection of children as well as for their partners’ abuse.

Methods
The study advances a discourse analysis of interview and focus group data, substantiating how children’s social care practices produce the routine responsibilisation of the non-abusing parent, usually the mother, with limited focus on the abusing parent, usually the father.

Results
The paper exposes the gendered discourses of mother-victim-blame and responsibility patterning children’s social care responses to domestic abuse, which together intensify adult and child victim-survivor material harm and hamper child protection work. Also in evidence are the enduring traumatic consequences of the court-ordered removal of children.

Conclusion
The paper has implications for policy and practice, asserting that shifting responsibility away from mothers requires the ongoing interrogation of normative understandings of gender relations and gender-role stereotypes as they manifest in families. Fathers’ accountability should be constructed on a structural as well as individual level, which in the case of DVA and the family, incorporates efforts to enable perpetrators of DVA to cultivate an individual sense of responsibility and accountability, as standard practice.

Published: September 2022

AbstractPurpose The sustainable employability of healthcare professionals in aged care is under pressure, but research into the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving employees’ sustainable employability is scarce. This review therefore aimed to investigate the effectiveness of workplace interventions on sustainable employability of healthcare professionals in aged care. Methods A systematic literature search was performed. Studies were included when reporting about the effect of an intervention at work in an aged care setting on outcomes related to one of the three components of sustainable employability (i.e. workability, vitality, employability). The methodological quality of each study was assessed and a rating system was used to determine the level of evidence. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was performed, accounting for the match between the intervention’s focus and the targeted component of sustainable employability. Results Current review includes 32 interventions published between 1996 and 2019. Interventions covered learning and improving skills, changing the workplace, and exercising or resting. The initial analysis showed a strong level of evidence for employability and insufficient evidence for workability and vitality. The sensitivity analysis revealed strong evidence for the effectiveness of interventions addressing either employability or workability, and insufficient evidence for vitality. Conclusions Evidence for workplace interventions on sustainable employability of healthcare professionals in aged care differed. We found strong evidence for effects of workplace interventions on employability and for those directly targeting workability. Evidence for effects of interventions on vitality was insufficient. The alignment of the interventions to the targeted component of sustainable employability is important for effectiveness.
Religiosity Decline in Europe: Age, Generation, and the Mediating Role of Shifting Human Values
Authors: Koscielniak Maciej , Bojanowska Agnieszka , Gasiorowska Agata 
Published: September 2022

AbstractDespite the fact that age is associated with higher religiosity, the aging European population has experienced a noticeable religiosity decline over recent decades. This study aimed to explain this paradox and to link it to an intergenerational shift in the pattern of values (as conceptualized by Shalom Schwartz). We conducted extended mediation analyses on the relationships between generational affiliation and the level of personal religiosity via human values in two studies (European Social Survey round 7, N = 29,775; and European Social Survey rounds 1–9, N = 224,314). Our results confirm a pronounced trend of religiosity decline and explain this process by changes in personal values. In particular, Europe's generational increase in openness to change values explains religiosity decline above and beyond the effect of people’s developmental age. We conclude that the perspective of human values provides a significant rationale for further research on religiosity, in relation to both past and future generations of Europeans.
