May 2024
Article Synopsis
- Non-judicial court personnel face high levels of stress due to overloaded dockets and impactful decision-making, which can harm judicial efficiency.
- The study used an adapted model to evaluate stress among 122 various court personnel, revealing that stress adversely affects cognitive and job performance, job satisfaction, and overall health.
- The findings suggest that the pandemic has worsened perceived job performance, highlighting the model's relevance to a wide range of courtroom roles.
Although the general location of functional neural networks is similar across individuals, there is vast person-to-person topographic variability. To capture this, we implemented precision brain mapping functional magnetic resonance imaging methods to establish an open-source, method-flexible set of precision functional network atlases-the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain (MIDB) Precision Brain Atlas. This atlas is an evolving resource comprising 53,273 individual-specific network maps, from more than 9,900 individuals, across ages and cohorts, including the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study, the Developmental Human Connectome Project and others.

In April 2023, we conducted a broad search in MEDLINE ( PubMed), PsycINFO, and Embase for original research studies that used objective neuropsychological assessment to evaluate neurocognition in persons with drug use. Data extraction was performed in a masked, duplicate fashion.

- Predatory publishing involves unethical practices that can compromise scientific integrity by promoting low-quality research, leading to misleading results that affect clinical decision-making.
- This study assessed whether top dermatology journals include primary studies from suspected predatory journals (SPJs) within their systematic reviews, finding that 31% of reviews contained such studies.
- The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed the highest prevalence of systematic reviews with studies from SPJs, while those featuring meta-analyses or registered protocols were less likely to include SPJs.
Virtual Reality-Based Joy Induction: The Role of Interactivity and Prior Mood.
Cyberpsychol Behav Soc Netw
April 2023
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the use of virtual reality (VR) to induce feelings of joy and how factors like interactivity and prior mood affect this process.
- The experiment involved 124 participants assigned to experience either a negative or neutral mood before entering a VR park, with conditions allowing for either interactive or noninteractive engagement.
- Results showed that interactive VR reduced negative feelings regardless of prior mood, but only increased joy when participants started in a neutral mood, highlighting the need for further research on effectively turning negative moods into joy.
