Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic Interventions on Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy Incidence in France.

Objective: To study the impact of nonpharmaceutical interventions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic on the monthly incidence of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) cases overall and those with a viral or bacterial identification.

Study Design: We conducted an interrupted time-series analysis using seasonally adjusted Poisson regression models from the French national prospective and multicenter SUDI registry, that included all SUDI cases below the age of 1 year who died from 2016 to 2021 in mainland France.

Results: Of 998 SUDI cases analyzed, 750 were recorded during the prepandemic period (January 2016 through March 2020) and 248 during the NPI period (April 2020 through December 2021).

The French registry of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI): a 7-year review of available data.

Unlabelled: The French "OMIN registry" was established in 2015 to collect nationwide standardised data concerning biological, clinical, environmental and social characteristics of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) and unexpected death in children aged 1-2 years. A biobank has existed since July 2020 to store biological samples for each case. This article aimed to detail (1) a brief history and the objectives of the registry; (2) a description of the methodology used; (3) the first results of the registry, i.

NewAbstractConcepts: A Database of 42 Normed Abstract Concepts and Exemplars.

Recently, researchers have expressed challenges in conducting word-learning experiments in adult populations due to limited availability of normed stimulus materials. This constraint often prompts the use of low-frequency or low-prevalence words, introducing the potential influence of prior knowledge or direct translation to familiar words. In response, we developed novel abstract concepts devoid of word referents, providing better control over prior knowledge.

Taboo language across the globe: A multi-lab study.

The use of taboo words represents one of the most common and arguably universal linguistic behaviors, fulfilling a wide range of psychological and social functions. However, in the scientific literature, taboo language is poorly characterized, and how it is realized in different languages and populations remains largely unexplored. Here we provide a database of taboo words, collected from different linguistic communities (Study 1, N = 1046), along with their speaker-centered semantic characterization (Study 2, N = 455 for each of six rating dimensions), covering 13 languages and 17 countries from all five permanently inhabited continents.

Distributional analyses reveal the polymorphic nature of the Stroop interference effect: It's about (response) time.

The study addressed the still-open issue of whether semantic (in addition to response) conflict does indeed contribute to Stroop interference (which along with facilitation contributes to the overall Stroop effect also known as Congruency effect). To this end, semantic conflict was examined across the entire response time (RT) distribution (as opposed to mean RTs). Three (out of four) reported experiments, along with cross-experimental analyses, revealed that semantic conflict was absent in the participants' faster responses.
