Depression States, Behavioral, and Cognitive Components in Developmental age: factorial analysis of a short assessment tool
Creators: name: Pruneti, Carlo
name: Guidotti, Sara
Publisher: name: Mediterranean Journal of Clinical Psychology
Year: 2021
Subjects: Developmental Psychopathology; Major Depressive Disorder; Anxiety and Depression; Psychological Assessment; Clinical Psychology.

description: Objective: Detecting clinically significant symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in childhood and adolescence is not easy. For this, the Depression State Scale (DSS) (a 42-items questionnaire that evaluates Depression, Anxiety and problems in Interpersonal relationships) has been developed and it seems to be able to detect clinically significant symptoms of depression. The main purpose of this study is to investigate a possible alternative subscale structure using the statistical process of factor analysis. Materials and methods: The DSS was administered to 601 students: 329 females, average age=13.1, SD = 0.7 and 272 males, average age=12.9, SD = 0.87. Principal component analysis with Varimax rotation was used to investigate the factor structure of the scale. The reliability of the new scales, built based on the results obtained, was then calculated. Analysis of variance was conducted with both new and original scales to assess whether significant gender differences emerged. Results: The factors that emerged reflect the DSM-5 criteria of MDD. The expectation of academic achievement is able to significantly influence anxiety and mood; the components of the depression seem to be closely related to the prevailing cognitive styles. Moreover, school performance and interpersonal relationships seem to influence each other. Finally, the school environment is generally seen as more repressive and strenuous rather than welcoming and stimulating. Conclusion: The DSS is able to detect the main symptoms of MDD and to describe the most affected psychopathological dimension. Finally, it emerged that the student's representation of the school can influence not only psychological well-being but also social functioning.

Subjects: Intimate Partner Violence; Trauma; Post-traumatic affects; Violence against women, Help seeking.

description: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), violence perpetrated by a partner or ex-partner in an intimate relationship, is the most common form of violence against women. The role of affects in PTSD in particular shame, guilt and fear has proven to be even more relevant among women who experience IPV. The aim of the study was to explore the meaning of affects according to women who experienced IPV, particularly in the relationship with their partner and during the process of separation and help-seeking. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) (Smith Osborn, 2003), a semi-structured interview was developed to investigate the experience that women victims of violence have of the affects of shame, guilt and fear in relationship to their history of violence and the process of help seeking. Eight women were selected, based on the following inclusion criteria: having suffered violence in a marital relationship and having terminated the relationship with the partner. Five main themes emerged, that highlighted the role of the affects investigated and the difference between guilt, shame, fear and terror. The deepening of the role of these affects could facilitate interventions with women who have experienced IPV, making the responses of the services more sensitive and structured.

description: We present ISO PHOT-S spectra of four galaxies known or suspected to host a central AGN, selected from the initial Iras/Rosat sample of Boller et al. (1992). Two of them had no obvious Seyfert features in their previous optical spectra: IRAS 14201+2956, and IRAS 21582+1018. The latter was bright enough to also allow SWS observations around selected neon lines, to establish its excitation. While both PHOT-S spectra are characteristic of starburst-dominated galaxies, the neon line ratios in IRAS 21582+1018 indicate the presence of a hard excitation source. New, high-resolution, optical spectra show only a weak, broad component around Halpha, classifying now these two objects as Sey 1.9 galaxies. The two other galaxies observed are the NLS1 galaxies Mrk 359 and Mrk 1388. Their ISO spectra however do not reveal the typical, strong PAH features found in the starburst galaxies and are more like those of standard Seyferts. These results show therefore that, although IR observations were expected to be able to always reveal the presence of an active nucleus by piercing through the central obscuration, the result may be ambiguous: the broad band IR energy distribution can still be dominated by starburts located in a circumnuclear region, and the AGN appear only in specific observations (high-excitation lines in the IR, or optical spectra with better quality than classification spectra). The obscuration needs however to be patchy rather than complete, to explain the detection of the high-excitation lines or broad Balmer wings. Only high-energy observations can then establish the strength of the central AGN and the amount of extinction with certainty.

Practical method to reclassify Web of Science articles into unique subject categories and broad disciplines

description: Classification of bibliographic items into subjects and disciplines in large databases is essential for many quantitative science studies. The Web of Science classification of journals into ~250 subject categories, which has served as a basis for many studies, is known to have some fundamental problems and several practical limitations that may affect the results from such studies. Here we present an easily reproducible method to perform reclassification of the Web of Science into existing subject categories and into 14 broad areas. Our reclassification is at a level of articles, so it preserves disciplinary differences that may exist among individual articles published in the same journal. Reclassification also eliminates ambiguous (multiple) categories that are found for 50% of items, and assigns a discipline/field category to all articles that come from broad-coverage journals such as Nature and Science. The correctness of the assigned subject categories is evaluated manually and is found to be ~95%.

title: The Development of Visual Motion Processing in Human Infants
Creators: name: Wattam-Bell, John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1993

description: The experiments of this thesis have used apparent motion in random-dot patterns to explore the development of motion processing in infants. Most of the experiments involved discrimination of a segregated pattern, in which different regions moved in different ways (eg opposite directions), from a uniform pattern containing just one kind of motion.

 Maximum displacement limits (dmax) for discrimination of coherent from incoherent motion, and for discrimination of opposite directions of coherent motion, increased between 8 and 15 weeks. The higher threshold of adults indicated that this increase continues beyond 15 weeks.

 The effect of changing the interval between displacements indicated two processes underlying the increase in direction discrimination dmax: a maturation of the temporal properties of motion detectors (eg improving sensitivity to high temporal frequencies), which is largely complete by about 12 weeks; and a more prolonged development of their spatial properties which dominates the change in dmax after 12 weeks, and may also be involved before this.

 Measurements of coherence thresholds for direction discrimination showed that, in addition to the rise in dmax with age, there is a substantial improvement in motion sensitivity at displacements below dmax. Hence a uniform increase in sensitivity across all displacements is likely to be an important factor behind the development of dmax. However there may be additional specific improvements in sensitivity to large displacements, perhaps reflecting the emergence of low spatial frequency channels.

 A series of habituation and preferential looking experiments failed to find evidence for direction discrimination before 6 weeks, though positive evidence was obtained at 6-8 weeks. The results suggest that directionality emerges at about 7 weeks of age. Interestingly, despite their success at discriminating direction in a segregated stimulus, 6-8-week-olds were insensitive to the absolute direction of uniform motion. This suggests that they have not yet learnt to combine measurements of retinal image motion with information about eye movements.

Subjects: Non-Suicidal Self-Injury, Pathological Narcissism, Shame, Narcissistic Vulnerability.

description: Background: Recent empirical research showed that pathological narcissism is related to Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI). However, both narcissistic vulnerability and narcissistic grandiosity were resulted related to NSSI and the differences between them and their role in NSSI remains unclear. Some authors underlined the potential role of shame in the genesis of self-directed aggression. Objectives: This study investigates the role of shame in the relationship between both vulnerable and grandiose narcissism and self-harm severity. Methods: We administered Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI), Test of Self-Conscious Affect (TOSCA) and Deliberate Self Harm Inventory (DSHI) to a sample of 149 community participants (42% males) with a mean age of 27.55 years (SD=12.3). Results: Controlling for age and gender, we found that DSHI scores correlated significantly with the vulnerable dimension of narcissism but not with the grandiose one. But, both the vulnerable and grandiose dimension of narcissism correlated with interpersonal shame levels. Finally, we found a positive interaction between PNI vulnerable factor and shame levels in predicting Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) severity. Conclusions: Differentiating the grandiose from the vulnerable facet of narcissism appears central when investigating the relationship between NSSI and narcissistic personality. Moreover, our study suggests that shame experiences have a remarkable influence importantly account for this relationship. Future directions and clinical implications are discussed.

Subjects: Dream sharing; Professional context; Attitude towards dreams; Sex role orientation.

description: Previous research has indicated that dreams are often shared, most frequently within the intimate social networks of the dreamers. The present online survey was completed by 1808 participants (1110 women, 698 men) with a mean age 45.64 ± 15.33 years. About 24% of the participants reported that they had dealt with dreams within professional contexts, and about 50% of the participants reporting that they know at least one person who is regularly engaged in dream topics. Overall, the findings indicate that most dream sharing takes place in private settings, e.g., partnerships, but this study is the first to show that at least some of the dream sharing also occurs within professional contexts. To expand the findings of this exploratory study it would be interesting to investigate the nature and context of dream sharing within professional contexts more deeply.

description: Background: This work describes a vision rehabilitation approach integrated with a self-help group, for psychological support of visually impaired people. The effectiveness and benefits of attending self- help group was analyzed in accordance to anxiety, depression symptoms and visual functions. Methods: The study, an observational perspective non randomized, was done on 31 visually impaired subjects, 16 females and 15 males, with a mean age of 63.7. Visual acuity, reading speed, anxiety and depression levels were valued before and after self-help group. Results: After the attending period of self-help group, a decrease to 0.74 LogMAR (± 0.3) and 1.08 LogMAR (± 0.3) for the best corrected visual acuity was registered for the best and the worst eye respectively (p0.05). There were significant improvements in anxiety (p0.01) and depression levels (p0.01). The average reading rate increased to 61.7 (± 24.4) wpm (p0.01), representing 23% improvement. We found that anxiety was significantly determinant on the reading speed (p=0.02). Conclusion: The results of this preliminary study suggest that this innovative approach can enhance visual functions with an effect on self-efficacy, it can offer support to the patients to cope with the onset of depression and anxiety and it can be a tool to promote psychological and social welfare.

Publisher: name: Mediterranean Journal of Clinical Psychology
Year: 2021
Subjects: Coping; Social support; Cancer; Psycho-oncology; Adjustment.

description: Background: Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Being the second leading cause of death in the world, this fearsome disease is a stressful event capable to cause a time of considerable upheaval in people’s lives and their loved ones. The illness condition can influence the patients’ social relationships, even reducing social involvement and fostering isolation. Hence, cancer adjustment-related variables are worth studying. Specifically, the research on coping strategies is crucial since the patients’ response style can act on the quality of the psychosocial outcomes. Objective: The aim of this study was deepening the association between coping styles and perceived social support from family, friends, and significant others among a sample of 121 cancer patients. Method: Participants were 121 cancer patients (70.2% females), aged 26 to 88 (M=61.90, SD=12.16). We assessed the adopted coping strategies by means of the Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (mini-MAC Scale), whereas the perceived social support was measured by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Results: We found: (1) a positive association between fighting spirit and the perception of social support from friends; (2) the hopelessness/helplessness strategy seemed negatively related with the perception of social support, regardless of the source; (3) higher levels of fatalism were connected with higher levels of perceived social support from family; (4) both anxious preoccupation and avoidance did not show any association with perceived social support. Conclusions: Working on maladaptive coping responses might be useful for the purpose of improving the receptivity to the support from family, friends and significant others. Further research focusing on patients’ coping styles is needed to promote holistic-oriented psychological treatments.

The creation of a global education program
Creators: name: Carlyle, Michael Joseph
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: I believe a “global consciousness” is the core principle in being a global citizen. A global citizen is one who takes on the responsibilities of being a citizen in an international context. A “global consciousness” is defined as “the capacity and the inclination to place our self and the people, objects, and situations with which we come into contact with, into the broader matrix of the world” (Gardner and Mansilla, in M. Suarez-Orzco, 2007) This concept can also be described as being cognizant of the impact of ones’ actions on the various communities around the world. The purpose of a global education program aimed at developing a “global consciousness” is discussed within this paper. This paper begins by explaining the purpose of a global education program followed by the concept of a “global consciousness”. The relevance of a global education program is examined through a discussion of current literature about the rationale of such programs. The literature review focuses on global education pedagogy and barriers that exist. A proposed global education curriculum aimed at high school students is then introduced with the goal of school district approval and subsequent implementation. This paper concludes with a discussion that will address how this global education program will help students achieve a “global consciousness” and how to overcome potential barriers.

Using insight obtained from simple model simulations of the folding of proteins, in particular of the fact that this phenomenon is essentially controlled by conserved (native) contacts among (few) strongly interacting ("hot"), as a rule hydrophobic, amino acids, which also stabilize local elementary structures (LES, hidden, incipient secondary structures like $α$--helices and $β$--sheets) formed early in the folding process and leading to the postcritical folding nucleus (i.e., the minimum set of native contacts which bring the system pass beyond the highest free--energy barrier found in the whole folding process) it is possible to work out a succesful strategy for reading the native structure of designed proteins from the knowledge of only their amino acid sequence and of the contact energies among the amino acids. Because LES have undergone millions of years of evolution to selectively dock to their complementary structures, small peptides made out of the same amino acids as the LES are expected to selectively attach to the newly expressed (unfolded) protein and inhibit its folding, or to the native (fluctuating) native conformation and denaturate it. These peptides, or their mimetic molecules, can thus be used as effective non--conventional drugs to those already existing (and directed at neutralizing the active site of enzymes), displaying the advantage of not suffering from the uprise of resistance.

description: Based on the motivation that some quantum gravity theories predicts the Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) around Planck-scale energy levels, this paper proposes a new formalism that addresses the possible effects of LIV in the electrodynamics. This formalism is capable of changing the usual electrodynamics through high derivative arbitrary mass dimension terms that includes a constant background field controlling the intensity of LIV in the models, producing modifications in the dispersion relations in a manner that is similar to the Myers-Pospelov approach. With this framework, it was possible to generate a CPT-even and CPT-odd generalized modifications of the electrodynamics in order to study the stability and causality of these theories considering the isotropic case for the background field. An additional analysis of unitarity at tree level was considered by studying the saturated propagators. After this analysis, we conclude that, while CPT-even modifications always preserves the stability, causality and unitarity in the boundaries of the effective field theory and therefore may be good candidates for field theories with interactions, the CPT-odd one violates causality and unitarity. This feature is a consequence of the vacuum birefringence characteristics that are present in CPT-odd theories for the photon sector.

title: Textiles in the Lower School: A Study of Teaching Methods and Assessment Procedures
Creators: name: Wain, Denise Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1993

description: This thesis investigates the teaching of Textiles to lower school pupils, and reports on classroom research into teaching methods and assessment procedures. The thesis contains four sections. The first is a personal and general introduction to the topic. The second gives the historical and theoretical background, and then discusses the role of the Textile teacher, with especial regard for the assessment of non-verbal abilities of pupils in the 11-14 age range. The third section selects three classroom studies which demonstrate the writers successful solution to assessment problems, and presents an overall summary and set of conclusions drawn from the classroom projects. Finally the fourth section considers the contribution which the subject of Textiles can make to the National Curriculum. The contention is that Textiles in the lower school can provide a substantial component of a technological education, and that this component can be assessed in a 'designerly' way.

description: A complete orthonormal basis of N-qutrit unitary operators drawn from the Pauli Group consists of the identity and 9^N-1 traceless operators. The traceless ones partition into 3^N+1 maximally commuting subsets (MCS's) of 3^N-1 operators each, whose joint eigenbases are mutually unbiased. We prove that Pauli factor groups of order 3^N are isomorphic to all MCS's, and show how this result applies in specific cases. For two qutrits, the 80 traceless operators partition into 10 MCS's. We prove that 4 of the corresponding basis sets must be separable, while 6 must be totally entangled (and Bell-like). For three qutrits, 728 operators partition into 28 MCS's with less rigid structure allowing for the coexistence of separable, partially-entangled, and totally entangled (GHZ-like) bases. However, a minimum of 16 GHZ-like bases must occur. Every basis state is described by an N-digit trinary number consisting of the eigenvalues of N observables constructed from the corresponding MCS.

description: The Rural Clean Water Program was initiated in 1980 to demonstrate the effectiveness of improved agricultural land management practices in enhancing water quality. Projects that preserve or improve water quality in a heavily used lake or estuary appear to have the greatest potential for generating net benefits. This appears particularly true for projects with recreational or commercial fishing impairments. About a third of the projects have good prospects for generating net benefits under current circumstances. Another third have the potential for generating benefits if they become part of a larger program that successfully preserves or expands downstream water uses.

description: Objective: The main aim of this study was to deepen the literature about parental autonomy support, analysing the relation between its two dimensions, Promotion of Independence (PI) and Promotion of Volitional Functioning (PVF), and adaptive outcomes in adolescents. Specifically, it was hypothesized that both components would predict higher self-esteem and lower depression in adolescents, through the mediation of trait Emotional Intelligence (trait EI). Method: A total of 283 adolescents, aged between 14 and 17 years (M=15.53; SD=1.21), participated in this study. They completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies- Depression Scale (CES-D), the Promotion of Independence (PI) and Promotion of Volitional Functioning (PVF), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire- Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue-ASF). Results: It was found that parental autonomy support predicted trait EI, which in turn fully mediated the relation between supportive practices and psychological outcomes in adolescents, with several interesting parent gender differences. Conclusions: This study highlights how autonomy-supportive practices are fundamental for healthy and adequate development of emotional intelligence in adolescents. It also contributes to the advancement of research on the contextual and individual mechanisms underlying the functional adaptation of offspring.

description: In this paper we elaborate on the structure of the Generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) form for nonlinear differential equations. We discuss here the algebraic properties of the GLV family, such as the invariance under quasimonomial transformations and the underlying structure of classes of equivalence. Each class possesses a unique representative under the classical quadratic Lotka-Volterra form. We show how other standard modelling forms of biological interest, such as S-systems or mass-action systems are naturally embedded into the GLV form, which thus provides a formal framework for their comparison, and for the establishment of transformation rules. We also focus on the issue of recasting of general nonlinear systems into the GLV format. We present a procedure for doing so, and point at possible sources of ambiguity which could make the resulting Lotka-Volterra system dependent on the path followed. We then provide some general theorems that define the operational and algorithmic framework in which this is not the case.

description: Background: Substance addiction is a psychosocial problem facing many people today. While the previous trend in addiction treatment was the harm reduction approach, nowadays it is fully recognized the importance of promoting human resources in order to help people to face the rehabilitation process, to prevent the risk of treatment dropout and future relapses, and to positively re-integrate them into the society. During the process of recovery from substance addiction, resilience is one of the most important protective factors against both dropouts and relapses. This study analyzed for the first time whether and the extent to which self-transcendence values (i.e., benevolence and universalism) promote resilience, considering the mediating role of hope, among patients in residential substance abuse treatment. Method: Seventy-six Italian patients in residential treatment for substance addiction (86.5% males and 13.5% females; Mage = 40.23, SD = 10.88) participated to the study. Participants were asked to complete the Self-transcendence subscale from the Portrait Values Questionnaire, the Hope Scale, and the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale. Results: Findings showed that self-transcendence values were positively related to resilience and that hope fully mediated (in a positive direction) this relationship. Self-transcendence values promoted resilience through the mediating role of hope. Conclusions: This complex relationship suggests a holistic model of resilience during the process of recovery from substance addiction. Limitations of the study, practical implications, and future research developments are discussed.

description: Molecular-dynamics simulations are presented for two correlation functions formed with the partial density fluctuations of binary hard-sphere mixtures in order to explore the effects of mixing on the evolution of glassy dynamics upon compressing the liquid into high-density states. Partial-density-fluctuation correlation functions for the two species are reported. Results for the alpha-relaxation process are quantified by parameters for the strength, the stretching, and the time scale, where the latter varies over almost four orders of magnitude upon compression. The parameters exhibit an appreciable dependence on the wave vector; and this dependence is different for the correlation function referring to the smaller and that for the larger species. These features are shown to be in semi-quantitative agreement with those calculated within the mode-coupling theory for ideal liquid-glass transitions.

LHC dijet angular distributions as a probe for the dimension-six triple gluon vertex

description: In the absence of a concrete discovery of new physics at the LHC, global analyses of the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) are important to find and describe the impact of new physics beyond the energy reach of the LHC. Among the SMEFT operators that can be constrained via various measurements, the dimension six triple gluon operator involves neither the Higgs boson nor the top quark, yet its variation can have measurable effects on top and Higgs production. Without independent constraints on its impact, the sensitivity of measurements in the top and Higgs sectors to new physics is reduced. We show that the dijet angular distribution is a powerful observable for probing the triple gluon operator. We set the most stringent limit on the triple gluon effective coupling by reinterpreting the results of a search for new phenomena in dijet events using 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV performed by the CMS collaboration. The obtained limit on the strength of the triple gluon operator is far below the sensitivity of that which can be derived from top quark and Higgs measurements and thus this operator can be neglected in global SMEFT analyses.

description: We report ALMA Band 6 continuum observations of 2000 AU resolution toward four massive molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone of the Galaxy. To study gas fragmentation, we use the dendrogram method to identify cores as traced by the dust continuum emission. The four clouds exhibit different fragmentation states at the observed resolution despite having similar masses at the cloud scale ($\sim$1--5 pc). Assuming a constant dust temperature of 20 K, we construct core mass functions of the clouds and find a slightly top-heavy shape as compared to the canonical initial mass function, but we note several significant uncertainties that may affect this result. The characteristic spatial separation between the cores as identified by the minimum spanning tree method, $\sim$$10^4$ AU, and the characteristic core mass, 1--7 $M_\odot$, are consistent with predictions of thermal Jeans fragmentation. The three clouds showing fragmentation may be forming OB associations (stellar mass $\sim$$10^3$ $M_\odot$). None of the four clouds under investigation seem to be currently able to form massive star clusters like the Arches and the Quintuplet ($\sim$$10^4$ $M_\odot$), but they may form such clusters by further gas accretion onto the cores.

description: Optomechanical systems are often used for the measurement of weak forces. Feedback loops can be used in these systems for achieving noise reduction. Here we show that even though feedback is not able to improve the signal to noise ratio of the device in stationary conditions, it is possible to design a nonstationary strategy able to improve the sensitivity.
