Moral Philosophy and the Moving Image
Authors: Price Brian 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter concerns the morality of style in place of the moralism that has defined accounts of film style and film form in categorical terms throughout the history of film theory. Following a distinction between morality and moralism, as offered by Émilie Hache and Bruno Latour—whereby the former refuses the simple categorical logic of the latter—I argue for a conception of style as that which increases our sensitization to what obliges us in unique terms and precisely where moralistic accounts of style have only ever worked to reaffirm what we already believe. The version of morality offered here links style (and against a particular notion of form as morally overriding) to a contingent conception of the self, one that can begin to describe how the details and idiosyncrasies of works of art enrich our understanding of ourselves and others, while always indicating, and expressly as style, how any decision or judgment cannot, and should not, conceal the alternatives that were available as options before any aesthetic or moral decision is made. At root, the chapter argues for a moral account of style that allows us to understand morality in aesthetic terms that are severed from preconceived concepts of judgment.
The Medium Matters! In Defense of Medium-Specificity in Classical Film Theory
Authors: Turvey Malcolm 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The doctrine of medium specificity holds that a medium can do something that other media cannot, or that they cannot do as well, and it has a long history in the theory, criticism, and practice of the arts. The first film theorists, who today are often referred to as classical film theorists, embraced medium specificity in their attempt to demonstrate that film is a legitimate art as great as, or perhaps greater than, the other arts. They believed that, in order for cinema to be accepted as a genuine art, they had to show that cinema can do certain things better than the other arts or that the other arts couldn’t do at all. Thus they set about identifying specific features of film that putatively distinguished it as a medium from other media. Today, medium specificity is a controversial doctrine, and has been subjected to powerful, sustained criticism by Noël Carroll, who has targeted its use in classical film theory. Yet, medium specificity has recently enjoyed a resurgence in film theorizing due, in part, to the advent of digital filmmaking. In this chapter, I claim that Carroll’s hostility to medium specificity in classical film theory is due to the unwarranted conflation of medium specificity with a related but logically distinct doctrine, namely, medium essentialism. Once the two are untangled, I show, medium specificity can be defended against its detractors such as Carroll, whose real and legitimate target, I suggest, is medium essentialism.
The Affective Turnabout’s Fair Play
Authors: Keller Sarah 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter considers the affective turn in cinema and its validation of a wider range of film experiences and modes of production than the dominant cinema tends to offer. It focuses on a recognition of the mutable nature of cinematic affect, then examines the dynamics of a set of recent films made by a handful of female filmmakers working in a range of forms (Céline Sciamma, Barbara Hammer, Chloe Zhao and Kirsten Johnson) to demonstrate their films’ diverse inclusivity and (relatedly) their emphasis on empathy. Paying attention to empathy offers a radical way of reading form, with the films’ affective underpinnings guiding not just narrative meaning but the act of engaging meaningfully with moving images more generally.
Introduction
Authors: Gable Philip A. , Miller Matthew W. , Bernat Edward M. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter provides background knowledge and definitions for readers who may be unfamiliar with foundational knowledge in this area. Specifically, the chapter provides a physiological framework of what EEG frequency measures reflect in human participants. It outlines methodological commonalities that cut across most measures of frequency analyses in EEG research, with an emphasis on EEG equipment, recording techniques, and experimental design. It highlights recommended practices for achieving reproducible results, such as adequately powering studies as well as pre-registering data collection and processing plans. Readers who are new to EEG frequency research, as well as EEG researchers who seek to brush-up on EEG methods will benefit from this introductory chapter before venturing into later chapters focusing on specific areas of EEG frequency research.
Developmental Research on Time-Frequency Activity in Adolescence and Early Adulthood
Authors: Malone Stephen M. , Harper Jeremy , Iacono William G. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses developmental research on time-frequency activity implicated in psychological processes of importance to cognitive and clinical scientists, such as attention, feedback monitoring, decision making, and cognitive control. We review what the existing work with older children and adolescents reveals about age-related differences in time-frequency activity and the attentional and cognitive processes such activity appears to reflect. We describe how a developmental perspective offers a unique lens through which to understand time-frequency phenomena. Such a perspective is concerned with mechanisms underlying features of time-frequency activity (and the psychological process they reflect) and asks how these features come about, in addition to what they are. We discuss advantages and disadvantages of a longitudinal approach, which is uniquely suited for characterizing change in addition to mean differences in level among individuals, and we include new empirical work as an example of what can be gained from using longitudinal designs. Finally, we consider the kinds of questions a developmental perspective might motivate us to ask and what answers to these questions might teach us about time-frequency activity as well as relevant psychological processes.
Theta-Beta Power Ratio
Authors: Schutter Dennis J. L. G. , Kenemans J. Leon 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Rhythmic activity plays a vital role in the organization and physical realization of functions in the brain. Following earlier observations of an increased ratio of theta (4–7 Hz) and beta (13–30 Hz) electroencephalogram (EEG) activity in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, both clinical and basic research have studied the functional nature of the theta-beta power ratio. A quantitative and qualitative review of the available scientific literature presented in this chapter shows that the theta-beta power ratio reflects a balance between the subcortical motivational and cortical cognitive control systems. Relative higher anterior theta-beta power ratios are indicative for dominant seeking motivation coupled to lower top-down attentional control, while relative lower anterior theta-beta power ratios signal top-down attentional control over the brain’s motivational systems. Although the applicability of the theta-beta power ratio in routine clinical settings should be considered complementary tool in the diagnosis of attention-related disorders, the EEG power ratio is able to capture functional aspects of normal and abnormal human behavior.
Bivariate Functional Connectivity Measures for Within- and Cross-Frequency Coupling of Neuronal Oscillations
Authors: Palva J. Matias , Palva Satu 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Rhythmic brain activity fluctuations, neuronal oscillations, are ubiquitous in spontaneous brain activity in electrophysiological recordings at all measurable scales and in all species. Oscillations and their dynamics are produced by various synaptic and cellular mechanisms, which shape the temporal properties of neuronal activity at the brain circuit level. At the systems level, the dynamics of neuronal oscillations and correlations in their activity time series—functional connectivity (FC)—play a fundamental role in behavior and cognitive functions in humans and animal models. The accurate estimation of the dynamics and FC of neuronal oscillations in electrophysiological recordings, is hence of critical importance. This chapter provides an overview of the essential features of the local (univariate) oscillatory signals and the corresponding analysis methods for estimating their dynamics. It outlines methods for estimating dynamics and bivariate (pairwise) FC of brain oscillations among electrophysiological time series. Finally, it discusses the limitations posed by the typical confounders in MEG and EEG data.
The Environmental State and Its Limits
Authors: Meadowcroft James 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The evolution of air pollution governance provides a useful way to approach the accomplishments and shortcomings of contemporary environmental states. Despite many failings, there has been a gradual strengthening of controls and an improvement in air quality across the developed countries over the past half century. Increasing scientific understanding of the damage caused by air pollution, a shifting technological frontier, and intervention by activist coalitions has driven a political process of “ratcheting up” of environmental standards that has been mediated and institutionalized through the environmental state. Despite the structural barriers that militate against more consequent engagement with environmental problems and the failure of governments so far to get to grips with meta problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss, the potential of actually existing environmental states is far from exhausted. Nothing is written in stone, and the capacity to engage in coming years with more transformative agendas will depend on the practical evolution of political forces.
The Latin American Novel and New Technology
Authors: Fitch Melissa A. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter highlights some of the challenges connected to new technologies related to the use of terms that scholars of Latin American literature have long taken as self-evident. This includes what constitutes a novel, an author, and even the concept of a specific “Latin American” literature in a time in which so many authors from the region are transnationals. The chapter underscores the malleability of these concepts within the digital realm, while highlighting some additional problems that are unique to the creation of hypermedia narratives, among them, those related to accessibility of the texts and ethical questions regarding the production, consumption, and disposal of the laptops, tablets, and cellphones that are required to read or experience them. It argues that fluidity is the defining characteristic of this new field within Luso-Hispanic cultural studies, and that digital literature requires a change of focus on the part of scholars, one that departs from the interpretation of a strictly literary dimension of a work and, instead, factors in these myriad other elements, including the incorporation of insights derived in part from the multisensorial experience of accessing the work. It discusses at length two different hypermedia texts Amor de Clarice by Rui Torres and Hotel Minotauro by Doménico Chiappe, both of which can be experienced by readers while following along with the chapter. The chapter closes with an appraisal of both how, and why, analyses of digital narratives are of critical importance in contemporary Latin American cultural and literary studies.
Buddhist Magic and Vajrayāna
Authors: van Schaik Sam 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Key elements of the Vajrayāna, or tantric Buddhism, can be traced back to some of the earliest Buddhist scriptures, typically texts that give instructions for practices that culminate in worldly results, such as protection from supernatural beings, healing illness and curing poison, bringing rain, or ensuring the safe birth of children. These magical aspects of Buddhist practice include the recitation of spells (mantra and dhāraṇī), along with other techniques such as the delimitation of sacred space with magical items and the use of ritual gestures (mudrā). In Vajrayāna texts, these techniques are adapted to the purpose of the ultimate Buddhist goal, awakening, though their power to achieve worldly ends is also taught in many tantras.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Substance Use
Authors: Stavrinaki Maria , Kelly Megan M. , Karekla Maria 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Global incidence for legal and illegal substance abuse is increasing, with marginalized groups and adolescents bearing the brunt. Substance use disorders (SUDs) are linked with serious and enduring physical health consequences, persistent psychological problems, criminality, homelessness, unemployment, and diminished educational opportunities. The issue of SUD prevention and treatment is therefore considered to be of the utmost importance worldwide. Current evidence-based treatments, though effective, present with mediocre abstinence rates, leaving room for improvement in the treatment of these conditions. Newer cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), acknowledge the inevitability of attempting to control internal states, which has been shown to ameliorate abstinence rates. ACT cultivates psychological flexibility, experiential acceptance, distress tolerance, and behavior change, with the aim of living a more fulfilled, valued life. More specifically, ACT for SUDs openly aims to increase awareness of contextual and internal substance cues, while simultaneously identifying and following personally relevant, valued directions. The evidence in support of ACT, in the context of SUDs, as well as the specifics of how to apply openness, awareness, and valued activity in treatment, are detailed in this article.
Technology

Published: September 2022

Abstract
With the increase in demand for mental health services globally, the need for technology-based interventions (e.g., mobile applications, self-help websites) has risen. Evidence suggests that guided online interventions can be as effective as in-person interventions, along with greater accessibility for populations that may otherwise struggle to receive evidence-based mental health care (e.g., lower income, rural populations). This article provides a detailed overview of and rationale for technology-based methods of psychological intervention, specifically acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The effectiveness of technology-based ACT interventions, with and without support, is reviewed. Suggestions for how to implement ACT over technology is discussed, along with challenges and future directions. Additionally, the wide evidence base, both outcome and process research, for technological implementations of ACT is reviewed across disorders and populations. Although the development of technology-based ACT interventions is still modest among some populations, the current evidence suggests that they are effective across various mental health concerns and are improving psychological flexibility and well-being.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Inside Behavior Analysis
Authors: Tarbox Jonathan , Chastain Amanda N. , Szabo Thomas G. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a widely adopted and well-supported contemporary approach to psychotherapy. However, the basic research and learning principles that ACT is based on originated in the science of behavior analysis; therefore, ACT remains linked to behavior analysis at the conceptual level. In recent years, a flurry of interest in ACT among applied behavior analytic practitioners has developed, and research on the application of ACT inside of behavior analysis has been flourishing as well. This chapter discusses the conceptual foundations for ACT inside behavior analysis, including a brief conceptual analysis of the six core ACT processes in terms of behavior analytic principles of learning and motivation. The chapter reviews research on ACT inside of behavior analysis, especially as it has been applied to individuals with autism, their caregivers and staff. Also discussed are the extent to which the research reviewed adheres to the defining characteristics of applied behavior analysis, as well as directions for the future research that could both enhance the precision of the ACT literature, as well as expand the scope of applied behavior analysis.

Abstract
We present ionized gas properties of nine local ultra/luminous infrared galaxies (U/LIRGs) at z &lt; 0.04 through Integral Field Unit (IFU) observations with KOOLS-IFU on the Seimei Telescope. The observed targets are drawn from the Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS), covering a wide range of merger stages. We successfully detect emission lines such as Hβ, [O iii]λ5007, Hα, [N ii]λλ6549, 6583, and [S ii]λλ6717, 6731 with a spectral resolution of R = 1500–2000, which provides (i) a spatially resolved (∼200–700 pc) moment map of ionized gas and (ii) diagnostics for an active galactic nucleus (AGN) within the central ∼3–11 kpc in diameter for our sample. We find that the [O iii] outflow that is expected to be driven by an AGN tends to be stronger (i) towards the galactic center and (ii) as a sequence of the merger stage. In particular, the outflow strength in the late-stage (stage D) mergers is about 1.5 times stronger than that in the early-state (stage B) mergers, which indicates that galaxy mergers could induce AGN-driven outflow and play an important role in the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes.
Effective two-body ΛN → NN weak potentials deduced from three-body ΛNN → NNN interactions and hypernuclear non-mesonic weak decay rates
Authors: Itonaga Kazunori , Motoba Toshio , Rijken Thomas A 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
We intend to study the role of the three-body weak ΛNN → NNN interaction in two-nucleon induced hypernuclear non-mesonic weak decay. The three-body weak interactions are constructed on the basis of the meson-pair exchange (MPE) model and then we derive the effective two-body ΛN → NN weak potentials from the three-body interactions based on the Loiseau–Nogami–Ross approximation. The strong coupling constants of MPE are taken from the Nijmegen ESC and GESC models and the weak ones of MPE are evaluated in the weak Λ–n mixing model by Dalitz and Von Hippel [Phys. Lett. 10, 153 (1964)]. The effective two-body ΛN → NN weak potentials are applied to evaluate hypernuclear non-mesonic decay rates, which should give a certain additional contribution to the two-nucleon induced decay rate Γ2N. Calculations of $\Gamma ^{({\text{eff.2B}})}_{nm}$ are done for $^5_\Lambda {\rm He}$, $^{11}_\Lambda {\rm B}$, and $^{12}_\Lambda {\rm C}$ and the results are compared with experimental data $\Gamma ^\mathrm{exp}_{2N}$. We have demonstrated the possibility of accounting for the two-nucleon induced non-mesonic decays of light and p-shell hypernuclei by introducing the effective two-body potentials deduced from the three-body weak interactions, though the calculated $\Gamma ^{(\text{eff.2B})}_{nm}$ still includes uncertainties. Discussions and limitations of our “effective two-body ΛN → NN model” are given.
Autophagy Enhances Longevity of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Endothelium via mTOR-Independent ULK1 Kinase

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Stem cells are enabling an improved understanding of the peripheral arterial disease, and patient-specific stem cell-derived endothelial cells (ECs) present major advantages as a therapeutic modality. However, applications of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived ECs are limited by rapid loss of mature cellular function in culture. We hypothesized that changes in autophagy impact the phenotype and cellular proliferation of iPSC-ECs. Endothelial cells were differentiated from distinct induced pluripotent stem cell lines in 2D culture and purified for CD144 positive cells. Autophagy, mitochondrial morphology, and proliferation were characterized during differentiation and over serial passages in culture. We found that autophagy activity was stimulated during differentiation but stagnated in mature iPSC-ECs. Mitochondria remodeled through mitophagy during differentiation and demonstrated increasing membrane potential and mass through serial passages; however, these plateaued, coinciding with decreased proliferation. To evaluate for oxidative damage, iPSC-ECs were alternatively grown under hypoxic culture conditions; however, hypoxia only transiently improved the proliferation. Stimulating mTOR-independent ULK1-mediated autophagy with a plant derivative AMP kinase activator Rg2 significantly improved proliferative capacity of iPSC-ECs over multiple passages. Therefore, autophagy, a known mediator of longevity, played an active role in remodeling mitochondria during maturation from pluripotency to a terminally differentiated state. Autophagy failed to compensate for increasing mitochondrial mass over serial passages, which correlated with loss of proliferation in iPSC-ECs. Stimulating ULK1-kinase-driven autophagy conferred improved proliferation and longevity over multiple passages in culture. This represents a novel approach to overcoming a major barrier limiting the use of iPSC-ECs for clinical and research applications.
