description: We show that the standard representation of homogeneous isotropic loop quantum cosmology (LQC) is the GNS-representation that corresponds to the unique state on the reduced quantum holonomy-flux $^*$-algebra that is invariant under residual diffeomorphisms $-$ both when the standard algebra is used as well as when one uses the extended algebra proposed by Fleischhack. More precisely, we find that in both situations the GNS-Hilbert spaces coincide, and that in the Fleischhack case the additional algebra elements are just mapped to zero operators. In order for the residual diffeomorphisms to have a well-defined action on the quantum algebra, we have let them act on the fiducial cell as well as on the dynamical variables, thereby recovering covariance. Consistency with Ashtekar and Campiglia in the Bianchi I case is also shown.

description: Background: Power is one of the top predictors of sports success. The most common measures of power are the Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) and various vertical jump protocols. Peak power (PP) (P [subscript MAX]) have been directly correlated to performance in Olympic Weightlifters (OL), but not in Powerlifters (PL). The PP of OL and PL have not been investigated using the Inertial Load Ergometer. Purpose: Compare PP in OL and PL using the Inertial Load Ergometer (ILE), as well as to correlate P [subscript MAX] with competition performance. Methods: Thirty-one OL (8 females, age: 26.3 ± 1.2 years, height: 172.1 ± 1.7 cm, body weight: 77.6 ± 2.7 kg) and twenty-nine PL athletes (10 females, age: 19.7 ± 0.2 years, height: 170.8± 1.5 cm, bodyweight: 75.8 ± 2.6 kg) performed three 4-second maximal sprints using the ILE. Results: The OL exhibited 11.2% more maximal power on average (22.12 ± 0.5 W/kg) than PL (19.78 ± 0.6 W/kg) (p < 0.001). Male OL exhibited 8.6% more power on average (22.8 ± 0.6 W/kg) than male PL (20.9 ± 0.55 W/kg), and female OL exhibited 13.6% more maximal power (20.2 ± 0.6 W/kg) than female PL (17.6 ± 0.9 W/kg) (p<0.05). P [subscript MAX] showed a significant correlation with 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) Snatch (r = 0.77, p < 0.001) and 1RM Clean & Jerk (r = 0.82, p < 0.001) in OL. Additionally, P [subscript MAX] was significantly correlated with 1RM Squat (r = 0.80, p < 0.001) and 1RM Deadlift (r = 0.77, p < 0.001) in PL. Conclusion: OL were found to be 11.2% more powerful on average than PL using the ILE and P [subscript MAX] was highly correlated to lift performance.

description: Fr atom can be successively used to search for the atomic permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) [Hyperfine Interactions 236, 53 (2015); Journal of Physics: Conference Series 691, 012017 (2016)]. It can be induced by the permanent electron EDM predicted by modern extensions of the standard model to be nonzero at the level accessible by the new generation of EDM experiments. We consider another mechanism of the atomic EDM generation in Fr. This is caused by the scalar-pseudoscalar nucleus-electron neutral current interaction with the dimensionless strength constant, $k_{T,P}$. Similar to the electron EDM this interaction violates both spatial parity and time-reversal symmetries and can also induce permanent atomic EDM. It was shown in [Phys. Rev. D 89, 056006 (2014)] that the scalar-pseudoscalar contribution to the atomic EDM can dominate over the direct contribution from the electron EDM within the standard model. We report high-accuracy combined all-electron and two-step relativistic coupled cluster treatment of the effect from the scalar-pseudoscalar interaction in the Fr atom. Up to the quadruple cluster amplitudes within the CCSDT(Q) method were included in correlation treatment. This calculation is required for the interpretation of the experimental data in terms of $k_{T,P}$. The resulted EDM of the Fr atom expressed in terms of $k_{T,P}$ is $d_{\rm Fr}= k_{T,P} \cdot 4.50\cdot10^{-18} e\cdot {\rm cm}$, where $e$ is the charge of the electron. The value of the ionization potential of the $^2S_{1/2}$ ground state of Fr calculated within the same methods is in a very good agreement with the experiment.

description: ADHD is a nosological condition linked to impaired brain maturity, especially at the frontal temporal level, which generates neurocognitive behavioral and social alterations. Previous research has shown that ADHD is associated with deficits in executive functions, including working memory, which is relevant for regulating behavior and social interactions. This study analyzed the capacity of working memory as an explanatory element of social skills in schoolchildren diagnosed with ADHD, through a structural equation model. A sample of N = 250, males, diagnosed with ADHD, in school, aged between 9 and 12 years old, was used. The sampling was probabilistic. The structural equation model was developed in RCran 4.3.2 software; the social skills variable (endogenous) was measured with 6 observable variables (interaction with authority figures, interaction with opposite sex, being in evidence, assertive expression of annoyance, displeasure, interaction with strangers and acting in public), using the CANSO-N24 questionnaire. The working memory variable (exogenous) was measured with 5 observable variables (digits, letters/numbers, color, word and word/color), and WIS-IV and Stroop tests were applied. The model converged after 73 iterations; a p-value 0.05 was obtained in the Chi-square statistic, resulting in a fitted model. A positive covariance (0.17) was obtained between working memory and social skills, and a P(|z|) of 0.379, indicating a low significance. This study tested the theoretical prediction that better working memory would correlate with better social skills in schoolchildren diagnosed with ADHD. These results indicate that while there is a positive relationship, working memory is not the only factor explaining social skills in ADHD. This supports the theory that multiple factors, including other mental processes, genetic, and environmental influences, contribute to social skills development in ADHD.

description: This project analyzes the impacts of industrial hog farming from the perspective of two Maya communities in Yucatán state. I study frameworks of environmental justice and political ecology in the context of the project’s study areas. I highlight the importance of historical geographic context in understanding how industrial hog farm has grown within Mexico and the Yucatán Peninsula. I examine how neoliberal policies have shaped the current political and economic positions of Yucatán state, and how the policies continue to have everyday impacts on Indigenous bodies. I argue that community responses are entangled with issues of power and race and must be understood at different scale. I examine indigenous mobilization across Yucatán state and analyze how the community reactions to these concerns differ greatly. Through interviews conducted in the field, I center these Indigenous perspectives within conversations of capitalism and power. Environmental concerns regarding the hog farms included water and air pollution, whereas the economic concerns included impacts on other industries such as tourism. I present a case study between my two study areas, comparing the similarities and differences between each community’s perception of the hog farms. I then explore how colonial legacies and environment relationships play a role in understanding community reactions. Lastly, I present counter mapping as a future method for similar projects. Moreover, I describe the importance of recognizing my positionality as a Western scholar researching Indigenous communities.

description: In dieser Interventionsstudie wurde die Adäquatheit, die Effektivität und die Konsequenzen von sowohl dem Programm „Kleine Schritte“ als auch von „Yoga“ auf die Entwicklung von Vorschulkindern mit Autismus Spektrum Störungen (ASS) in Taiwan und in Deutschland untersucht. Um die Überprüfung beider Konzepte zu ermöglichen, wurden 33 Familien mit Kindern mit ASS in Taiwan und Deutschland angeleitet, ausgebildet und über eine Zeitspanne von zehn Monaten begleitet. Durch den Vergleich einer Vor- und Nachmessung wurde überprüft, inwiefern das Programm „Kleine Schritte” und „Yoga“ für Kleinkinder mit ASS und für ihre Mütter hilfreich ist und zu relevanten und statistisch signifikanten Fortschritten in der Entwicklung des Kindes führt. Mit den standardisierten Messinstrumenten Leiter-R, VABS/ET6-6 und PSI wurden die kognitive Entwicklung und das adaptive Verhalten der Kinder und der Erziehungsstress ihrer Mütter vor und nach der Intervention gemessen. Durch den t-Test für gepaarte Stichproben, den Wilcoxon-Test und den t-Test für unabhängige Stichproben wurden die Hypothesen überprüft. Nach der Intervention zeigten die Kinder aller Gruppen im Bereich Brief IQ und Full IQ relevant und statistisch signifikante Fortschritte. In den Bereichen adaptives Verhalten der Kinder und Erziehungsstress der Mütter wurden unterschiedliche Ergebnisse zwischen den Gruppen beobachtet. Verhaltensänderungen der Kinder wie mehr Augen- und Körperkontakte u.a. wurden auch von den Müttern berichtet. Als „home based“-Frühförderpragramme können die Methoden „Kleine Schritte“ und „Yoga“ den Eltern von Kindern mit ASS empfohlen werden.

description: In this paper, we develop a concrete algorithm for phase retrieval, which we refer to as Gauss-Newton algorithm. In short, this algorithm starts with a good initial estimation, which is obtained by a modified spectral method, and then update the iteration point by a Gauss-Newton iteration step. We prove that a re-sampled version of this algorithm quadratically converges to the solution for the real case with the number of random measurements being nearly minimal. Numerical experiments also show that Gauss-Newton method has better performance over the other algorithms.

The ecology of mutualism in Acacia myrtifolia
Creators: name: Martínez Bauer, Angélica Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A popular and thoroughly studied case of an interdependent mutualistic relationship is that of the American swollen-thorn acacias and their ant inhabitants (Janzen, 1966). Whether such interactions exist amongst Australian acacias remains unknown, despite the fact that they represent one of the most abundant and speciose groups of vascular plants on the continent. Ants are remarkably diverse in Australia, widespread, can act as generalist predators, and are frequently seen feeding on acacia’s extrafloral nectaries. In this thesis I address gaps in our understanding of multi-species interactions of the Australian angiosperm Acacia myrtifolia, under field conditions. I conducted ant- and pollinator-exclusion experiments on 60 A. myrtifolia plants at four sites varying in moisture, temperature and fragmentation from western to eastern Victoria. The main field seasons (five) were carried out during 2010 with sampling periods at the end of 2011 and 2012, asking 1) whether the presence of ants produces favorable outcomes for the plants across a longitudinal gradient and 2) what is the combined impact of ants, herbivores, pollinators and seed dispersers on the plant’s fitness. The exclusion of ants did not enhance herbivory damage or increase fruit set. Ants have significant short temporal-scale effects on diaspore characteristics and seedling survival, and long temporal-scale effects on growth. There is a strong suggestion of a geographical and environmental gradient in ant community composition, seed-dispersing ant assemblages and some of the variables related to plant fitness (bud number, growth, seed weight, and seedling growth). The composition of ant guilds attending A. myrtifolia appears to affect the degree of benefit plants derive from this diffuse mutualism (dependence on multiple partners). In relating multiple interactions we gain an insight into the evolution of complex net interactions and the result of different trade-off decisions.

Subjects: Aesthetic Relational Knowing; Clinical assessment; Clinical Psychology; Gestalt therapy; Therapeutic intuition.

description: Background and aims: The factorial validation study of a scale describing the therapist's intuitive knowing from a phenomenological, aesthetic, and field-oriented perspective, such as that of Gestalt therapy, is presented. The way in which the therapists use their senses to understand the patient's current experience, through embodied empathy and resonance, is termed Aesthetic Relational Knowing, and a special scale (ARK), described in its broader valence in a previous study, was constructed to assess it. The ARK-T version, validated in this study, is referred to the specific therapeutic situation, assessing the therapist's intuitive ability towards the patient, in the “here and now” of the session.


Methods:  A sample composed of 209 psychotherapists (51 men, 157 women, 1 stated "other") aged 25-80 years old, 199 psychology graduates, 10 medical doctors, working in different regions of Italy, all holding a specialization in psychotherapy of different theoretical approaches, filled in the 46 items hypothesized for the composition of the ARK-T scale.       
 An Exploratory Factor Analysis was carried out preliminarily on the intercorrelation matrix of the items, then subsequently a Confirmatory Analysis was performed according to the Lisrel model. Item analysis was also performed and Cronbach's alpha was calculated for reliability analysis of the global score and of the factors included in the final version of the scale.


Results: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses allowed the selection of 21 items that make up the final version of the ARK-T Scale. The main factors validated in previous studies (Body awareness, Resonance, and Empathy), operationalized in the therapeutic situation, were redefined into: Body Awareness, Intuitive Resonance, and Affective Empathy. The reliability of the scale is good for both total score (alpha=0.841) and factorial subscales.

Conclusions: By enabling the assessment of body process awareness and aesthetic-relational skills in therapy, the ARK-T scale has significant implications for the training and supervision of psychotherapists, as well as for research on the therapeutic change process.

description: Background: Central Sensitivity (CS) is defined as an increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system to normal or subthreshold inputs. CS has been linked to the psychological burden associated with suffering from various chronic pain (CP) conditions, including fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic headache (CH). The present study aims to investigate whether CS can distinguish between CP conditions and healthy controls (HCs), as well as among different CP conditions, specifically CH, FM, and FM with CH. 


Methods: A total of 737 women (n=220 CH; n=200 FM; n=209 FM with CH; n=108 HCs) completed an online self-administered protocol consisting of the Central Sensitivity Inventory (CSI) and socio-anamnestic information. A general linear model ANCOVA was performed to test differences in CSI scores, covarying for sociodemographic variables showing a significant different distribution among groups (age, social and working status and educational level).


Results: Data analysis showed a good fit for the model (R2 Adjusted=.407; df=7; F=73.172; p.001) and a significant difference between groups in CSI scores (p.001). The only covariate included in the model showing a significant effect was educational level (F= 32.208; p.001). Post hoc tests using the Bonferroni method revealed that all clinical groups scored significantly higher than HCs (all p .001). Additionally, FM with comorbid CH showed CSI scores significantly higher than all other clinical groups.

Conclusions: CS appears to have a discriminating role among CP conditions, particularly in FM associated with CH. Including this dimension in the clinical evaluation of CP patients seems relevant to better understand the complex connection between CP and mental health.

Localised control of Torso receptor tyrosine kinase activation in Drosophila terminal patterning
Creators: name: Henstridge, Michelle Ann
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) control many signalling pathways that regulate fundamental cell biological processes such as proliferation, differentiation and survival. The controlled activation of RTKs is thus crucial, and depends on both the presence of the receptor at the cell surface and on the availability of its ligand. In Drosophila, the RTK Torso (Tor) is responsible for the specification of the most anterior and posterior regions of the developing embryo. Tor is distributed ubiquitously on the plasma membrane of the embryo but signals only at the poles due to the localised availability of its ligand Trunk (Trk). While it is understood that Tor activation is mediated by Torso-like (Tsl), a membrane attack complex/ perforin-like (MACPF) protein present only at the embryo poles, the mechanism by which this occurs and the precise role of Tsl remains unclear. It has long been presumed that Trk must be cleaved in order to bind Tor, and that these proteolytic events are controlled by Tsl. However, no protease involved in terminal patterning has previously been identified, nor has a cleaved Trk species been detected. To address these problems, functional tagged forms of Trk were generated and used to show that Trk is proteolytically cleaved and this is essential for Tor activation. Unexpectedly, Trk cleavage patterns were found to be unaltered in tsl null mutants, suggesting that Tsl functions post proteolytic processing of Trk to control localised terminal patterning.

description: Background: Cancer can be a chronic condition and breast cancer diagnosis may impact many aspects of life with significant reductions in emotional functioning and self-care behaviors. The aim of the study was to examines relationship among individual psychological dimensions, self-care and emotional regulation processes and investigate the mediating role of emotion regulation process for disease management in breast cancer.


Methods: An observational study was conducted. Thirty-eight breast cancer patients (M 45.2±sd 7.87) participated in the study. The sample was distributed in two groups by time from diagnosis (median 14,5 months): Early and Long groups. The psychological battery was administered during clinical follow-ups: Depression Anxiety Stress Sscale-21, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-20, Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory.


Results: Significant differences on psychological dimensions emerged by time from diagnosis. Long group experienced lower self-efficacy (p = 0.002), higher depression (p = 0.014) and lack of emotional clarity (p = 0.004). Controlling for time from diagnosis, negative correlations emerged between self-efficacy and depression (p = 0.020, r = -0.382), stress (p = 0.033, r = -0.351), lack of emotional clarity (p = 0.040, r = -0.339), also positive correlations emerged between emotion dysregulation and psychological distress indexes. Finally, mediation analysis showed the significant effect of lack of emotional clarity on self-efficacy (β=-0.192; SE=1.304; p0.021; CI=-5.56– -0.45).


Conclusions: This evidence suggests that the relationship between time from diagnosis and self-efficacy is mediated by emotional dysregulation. Emotional regulation process seems to be a mediating factor in the management of breast cancer in long time. Limitations of the study include a small sample size, residual confounding variables, the lack of longitudinal data. Our findings highlighted that young breast cancer patients were emotionally challenged by ongoing clinical path and underscored the need in clinical practice to provide psychological screening of emotional regulation process in order to implement tailored psychological support to improve health outcomes and enhance women's well-being in survivorship. In clinical setting, the integrated approach could realistically allow early detection and treatment of psychological factors such as emotional dysregulation that could negatively interfere with long-term disease management impacting self-care abilities.

description: We present a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph of odd-girth $2k+1$ to bound the class of $K_4$-minor-free graphs of odd-girth (at least) $2k+1$, that is, to admit a homomorphism from any such $K_4$-minor-free graph. This yields a polynomial-time algorithm to recognize such bounds. Using this condition, we first prove that every $K_4$-minor free graph of odd-girth $2k+1$ admits a homomorphism to the projective hypercube of dimension $2k$. This supports a conjecture of the third author which generalizes the four-color theorem and relates to several outstanding conjectures such as Seymour's conjecture on edge-colorings of planar graphs. Strengthening this result, we show that the Kneser graph $K(2k+1,k)$ satisfies the conditions, thus implying that every $K_4$-minor free graph of odd-girth $2k+1$ has fractional chromatic number exactly $2+\frac{1}{k}$. Knowing that a smallest bound of odd-girth $2k+1$ must have at least ${k+2 \choose 2}$ vertices, we build nearly optimal bounds of order $4k^2$. Furthermore, we conjecture that the suprema of the fractional and circular chromatic numbers for $K_4$-minor-free graphs of odd-girth $2k+1$ are achieved by a same bound of odd-girth $2k+1$. If true, this improves, in the homomorphism order, earlier tight results on the circular chromatic number of $K_4$-minor-free graphs. We support our conjecture by proving it for the first few cases. Finally, as an application of our work, and after noting that Seymour provided a formula for calculating the edge-chromatic number of $K_4$-minor-free multigraphs, we show that stronger results can be obtained in the case of $K_4$-minor-free regular multigraphs.

description: Legionella pneumophila is a facultative intracellular aerobe that causes legionellosis. Among the serogroups, L. pneumophila serogroup 1 is responsible for most of the reported cases of legionellosis. Once internalized by alveolar macrophages in humans, the bacterium will replicate and escalate its intracellular infection resulting in the disease. To survive and replicate in host cells, L. pneumophila relies on effector proteins translocated into host cells via the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system. Due to the similarities of many Dot/Icm effectors with eukaryotic proteins, the host cell signalling pathways are often the target of these effectors. Using RFLP-hybridization, the polymorphism and distribution of the sidB family effector genes (sidB, sdbA, sdbB and sdbC) were investigated in Legionella spp. All L. pneumophila serogroup 1 and most of serogroup 2-14 showed the presence of all four sidB family effector genes. Interestingly, sdbB was absent in all non-pneumophila Legionella isolates, suggesting that this gene may contribute to the virulence of L. pneumophila. Although the molecular function of the SidB family effectors is unknown, their sequences suggest that they may share similarity with eukaryotic lipases. Localization studies using GFP-tagged SidB effectors revealed that these proteins displayed a distinct and similar vesicular staining pattern within the host cells. When expressed ectopically in HeLa cells, both SidB-GFP and SdbB-GFP on their own led to the disintegration of the cis- and trans-compartments of the Golgi apparatus. Co-localization studies showed that both SidB and SdbB co-localized in the cytosol of HeLa cells surrounding the nucleus. Similarly, both SdbA and SdbC were co-localized in the cytosol of HeLa cells. Interestingly, loss of either one of the sidB genes results in a deficient uptake of the bacteria by mammalian cells, suggesting a potential role for SidB family effectors in promoting entry of L. pneumophila into host cells.
Effect of the desensitization and reprocessing of information through eye movements Technique on Neuropathic and Migraine Chronic Pain in Older Adults: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Bedoya Gartner, Manuela

name: Landinez Martínez, Daniel Alfredo
Publisher: name: Mediterranean Journal of Clinical Psychology
Year: 2024
Subjects: Chronic pain; EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing); Neuropathic pain; Migraine pain and Older adults.

description: Background: Chronic pain is a pervasive global health challenge, causing significant suffering and impairing daily functioning despite advancements in understanding and treatment. Its prevalence is particularly noteworthy in developed regions such as Europe and Colombia, highlighting its broad societal impact. Existing management approaches, including pharmacotherapy, often provide inadequate relief, leaving many individuals with ongoing pain and psychological distress. The profound emotional toll of chronic pain underscores the need for innovative strategies addressing both its physical and emotional dimensions.


Method: The search was carried out on Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed on March 2023, using the following search equation: “Older adult” AND “eye movement desensitization and reprocessing” AND “chronic pain” OR “neuropathic” OR “migraine”, with a date range from January 2014 to January 2024. The reporting follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses (PRISMA) guideline for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Once the results were obtained, they were loaded onto the Tree of Science platform.


Results: Limited research specifically targeting the efficacy of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in chronic neuropathic and migraine pain among older adults was found. While some studies showed promising results, methodological limitations and pain type heterogeneity highlighted the need for further investigation. Nonetheless, broader studies suggested the potential of EMDR in reducing pain perception and improving emotional well-being. Psychotherapeutic interventions, including mindfulness, also emerged as promising strategies.


Conclusion: The extensive impact of chronic pain necessitates comprehensive management strategies. While pharmacotherapy offers relief, the multifaceted nature of pain requires multidimensional approaches. EMDR, along with psychotherapeutic modalities like mindfulness, holds promise in addressing both physical and emotional aspects of chronic pain. Further research, particularly focusing on specific pain types and older populations, is vital for informing evidence-based practices. Integrative approaches combining EMDR and mindfulness may offer holistic solutions to chronic pain management.

From the Quantum Transfer Matrix to the Quench Action: The Loschmidt echo in $XXZ$ Heisenberg spin chains

description: We consider the computation of the Loschmidt echo after quantum quenches in the interacting $XXZ$ Heisenberg spin chain both for real and imaginary times. We study two-site product initial states, focusing in particular on the Néel and tilted Néel states. We apply the Quantum Transfer Matrix (QTM) approach to derive generalized TBA equations, which follow from the fusion hierarchy of the appropriate QTM's. Our formulas are valid for arbitrary imaginary time and for real times at least up to a time $t_0$, after which the integral equations have to be modified. In some regimes, $t_0$ is seen to be either very large or infinite, allowing to explore in detail the post-quench dynamics of the system. As an important part of our work, we show that for the Néel state our imaginary time results can be recovered by means of the quench action approach, unveiling a direct connection with the quantum transfer matrix formalism. In particular, we show that in the zero-time limit, the study of our TBA equations allows for a simple alternative derivation of the recently obtained Bethe ansatz distribution functions for the Néel, tilted Néel and tilted ferromagnet states.

description: In transportation, the number of observations associated with one discrete outcome is often greatly different from the number of observations associated with another discrete outcome. This situation is known as class-imbalance. In statistics, one hypothesized explanation for class imbalance is the existence of data generating processes that are characterized by asymmetric (as opposed to typically symmetric) probability functions. Despite being a valid hypothesis for class-imbalanced choice situations, few simple models exist for testing this explanation in transportation settings---settings that are inherently multinomial. Our paper fills this gap. As such, it should be of interest to transportation scholars and practitioners alike. Overall, we addressed the following questions: "how can one construct asymmetric, closed-form, finite-parameter models of multinomial choice" and "how do such models compare against commonly used symmetric models?" To do so, we (1) introduced a new class of closed-form, finite-parameter, multinomial choice models that we call "logit-type models," (2) introduced a procedure for using our logit-type models to extend existing binary choice models to the multinomial setting, and (3) introduced a procedure for creating new binary choice models (both symmetric and asymmetric). Together, our contributions allow us to create new asymmetric, multinomial choice models by creating multinomial extensions of asymmetric, binary choice models that already exist or that we create ourselves. We demonstrated our methods by developing four new asymmetric, multinomial choice models. We found that most of our asymmetric models dominated the multinomial logit (MNL) model in terms of in-sample and out-of-sample log-likelihoods. Moreover, on our two empirical applications, we also found practical differences between the MNL model and our new asymmetric models.

Subjects: Anxiety; Clinical Psychology; Depression; Neurocognitive disorder; Psychosocial profile.

description: Background: Neurocognitive disorder (NCD) presents its highest prevalence in older adults, with the rate of diagnoses expected to triple in the next two decades due to the accelerated aging of the population. The etiology of this disorder is diverse, with notable comorbidity with anxiety and/or depressive symptoms, and there are modifiable risk factors that highlight significant prevention potential.


Objective: This systematic review aimed to examine the current scientific literature findings to answer the research question: What is the relationship between anxiety and depressive symptoms and mild cognitive impairment?


Methodology: The search was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases in March 2024, using the search equation: ("depressive symptoms" OR "anxiety symptoms") AND ("older person" OR elderly OR aging) AND ("cognitive decline" OR "cognitive performance" OR "mild cognitive impairment"), with a date range from January 2020 to March 2024. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, and the results were uploaded to the Tree of Science platform.


Results: The resulting articles were organized into three perspectives: Anxiety and depression in mild Neurocognitive disorder, Functional and structural neuroanatomy of mild NCD in relation to anxiety and depressive symptoms, and Predictors and psychosocial profile of mild NCD.


Conclusion: Research confirms a significant relationship between both anxiety and depressive symptoms and mild NCD, though the nature of this relationship is still unclear. Establishing the psychosocial profile of older adults, as a characterization tool, promises to be very helpful for the clinical management of mild NCD and preventing its progression to major neurocognitive disorder (major NCD). The percentage of modifiable risk factors in mild NCD is 40%, presenting a substantial opportunity to reduce the prevalence of neurocognitive disorders in adulthood.

description: In this paper we consider splitting methods in the presence of non-homogeneous boundary conditions. In particular, we consider the corrections that have been described and analyzed in Einkemmer, Ostermann 2015 and Alonso-Mallo, Cano, Reguera 2016. The latter method is extended to the non-linear case, and a rigorous convergence analysis is provided. We perform numerical simulations for diffusion-reaction, advection-reaction, and dispersion-reaction equations in order to evaluate the relative performance of these two corrections. Furthermore, we introduce an extension of both methods to obtain order three locally and evaluate under what circumstances this is beneficial.
