AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes how cognitive control resources, like illness-specific beliefs and internal pain control expectancies, relate to stress, recovery, and emotional discomfort in women with fibromyalgia.
- Findings suggest that maintaining a balance between stress and recovery is key to managing emotional discomfort, with cognitive resources also influencing limitations in function.
- The research supports the use of cognitive-behavioral techniques in fibromyalgia treatment, emphasizing the need to adjust beliefs about self-efficacy and pain control to achieve better stress-recovery balance.
Article Abstract
This study evaluates a structural equation model (SEM) of linkages among cognitive control resources (illness-specific efficacy beliefs and internal pain control expectancies), stress/recovery state, and affective discomfort in women with fibromyalgia (n=130). Results were consistent with the proposal that stress/recovery balance mediates the relationship between cognitive resources and affective discomfort. In addition, direct effects of cognitive resources on function limitation were observed, and pain intensity and symptoms were direct predictors of the affective discomfort. Based on the results, the possible interpretation of several cognitive-behavioural techniques commonly employed in the treatment of fibromyalgia are indicated as strategies aimed at finding the correct equilibrium between stress and recovery, and the modification of self-efficacy beliefs and pain control expectancies are fundamental.

Mobilising Affect for Public Art: Affective practices in voluntary organising.

Voluntary organising frequently relies on affective intensities to direct organisational efforts. However, it is not well understood how these intensities are cultivated across time and different contexts to engage and coordinate heterogeneous actors. By applying a practice approach to affect, this paper proposes the concept of affective practices to theorise how affect is mobilised in materially driven (inter)actions to shape actions and relationalities around organisational goals.

Neuromotor disorders can degrade one's ability to locomote and attend to salient stimuli in the environment. Many disorders are physiologically complex, making it difficult to tease apart interactions between motor adaptation and executive function processes. We address this challenge by giving participants a controlled artificial impairment, using electrical stimulation to produce an uncomfortable disruption in normal muscular coordination during locomotion.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how impulse control and exercise tolerance influence effort during painful experiences, specifically under stress.
- Thirty-six participants were tested using the cold pressor test, measuring their heart rate variability and emotional states before and after the task.
- Results showed that individuals with higher exercise tolerance could endure discomfort longer and felt more dominant initially, while both groups experienced similar emotional boosts after completing the task, highlighting the nuanced connection between physical tolerance and psychological responses.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how different oxygen conditions (hypoxia, hyperoxia, and normoxia) affect young males' physical responses and perceptions during aerobic exercise.
- A total of 15 healthy males participated in a cycling test under three distinct oxygen scenarios, with various measures like heart rate and muscle oxygen saturation monitored during and after the exercise.
- Results showed that while the physiological measures differed significantly between conditions, the perceived exertion and enjoyment levels of the exercise were similar across all oxygen scenarios.
