Predictors of Making a Referral to Child Protective Services Prior to Expert Consultation.

Objective: Suspicion for child abuse is influenced by implicit biases. Evaluation by a Child Abuse Pediatrician (CAP) may reduce avoidable child protective services (CPS) referrals. Our objective was to investigate the association of patient demographic, social and clinical characteristics with CPS referral before consultation by a CAP (preconsultation referral).

Country-level factors in a failing relationship with nature: Nature connectedness as a key metric for a sustainable future.

Climate change and biodiversity loss show that the human-nature relationship is failing. That relationship can be measured through the construct of nature connectedness which is a key factor in pro-environmental behaviours and mental well-being. Country-level indicators of extinction of nature experience, consumption and commerce, use and control of nature and negativistic factors were selected.

Glycoproteins Detected by the Filariasis Test Strip Antibody AD12.1.

Background: Rapid and accurate prevalence mapping of lymphatic filariasis (LF) is necessary to eliminate this disfiguring and disabling neglected tropical disease. Unfortunately, rapid tests such as the filariasis test strip (FTS) for , the causative agent of LF in Africa, can cross-react with antigens circulating in some persons infected by the African eye worm, , rendering the test unreliable in eleven co-endemic nations. The intended target of the FTS is a heavily glycosylated circulating filarial antigen (Wb-CFA).

On being forgotten: Memory and forgetting serve as signals of interpersonal importance.

Our memories contain a wealth of social information-including details of past interactions, facts about others, and others' identities. Yet, human memory is imperfect, and we often find ourselves unable to recall such information in social interactions. Conversely, people routinely find themselves on the receiving end of others' memory failures; that is, people sometimes find themselves forgotten.

Generalised inhibitory impairment to appetitive cues: From alcoholic to non-alcoholic visual stimuli.

Background: Prior research demonstrates that individuals who consume alcohol show diminished inhibitory control towards alcohol-related cues. However, such research contrasts predominantly alcoholic appetitive cues with non-alcoholic, non-appetitive cues (e.g.
