: Little is known about the "active ingredients" of psychological therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) despite a growing evidence base documenting its clinical effectiveness. This information can be used by clinicians to inform service planning and care pathways.: The aim of this study was to review published empirical research investigating the potential mechanisms underlying therapeutic change in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for BPD.: A thorough search of the PsychInfo, CINAHL Plus, PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases revealed research into potential mechanisms of change.: A total of 52 abstracts were reviewed. After a full text screen of the most relevant studies, 14 met inclusion criteria. Twelve examined DBT and two CBT. Mechanisms of change identified broadly fell into three categories: and Outcomes measured included general mental health diagnoses (e.g. anxiety, depression) and BPD-specific symptoms (e.g. self-harm/suicidality, impulsivity, substance misuse, anger).: Further empirically robust research is required to test hypotheses about the influence of the proposed mechanisms on therapeutic change in psychological therapies for BPD.

Biocides, applied in building materials as antimicrobial protectants, can be leached out by rain, presenting substantial environmental risks as confirmed by studies on aquatic environments. However, these biocides are consistently released throughout the year in a diluted form, posing unique challenges for the prediction of transport, transformation, and ecotoxicity assessment in soil. To address this challenge, we combined COMLEAM, which predicts leaching from facades into the soil, with the FOCUS PELMO pesticide model to predict biocide distribution in soil.

Background And Aims: Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is a highly engrossing activity with the individual spending up to 10 h per day gaming, this causes issues in accomplishing their tasks and personal goals. Also, to generate in them increased anxiety, impulsivity and lack of social skills, this impacts the good personal development and individual's quality of life. Therefore, it is vital to better understand, in terms of treatment, which factors are associated with therapeutic outcomes (largely to achieve control over the use of video games and the lack of relapses) following a standardized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) protocol.

However, many existing digital therapeutic products predominantly focus on computerized cognitive training, lacking effective approaches to other crucial interventions. We proposed a multidimensional comprehensive cognitive intervention training program - Brain and Body Rehab Training (BBRT), which integrates multidomain cognitive training with physical-cognitive training and multidimensional lifestyle interventions and developed the digital therapeutic product - BBRT-online based on WeChat mini-program.

Background: This study aimed to examine the influence of adherence on intervention effect in the Japan-multimodal intervention trial for the prevention of dementia (J-MINT).
Method: J-MINT was an 18-month randomized controlled trial, and participants aged 65-85 years with mild cognitive deficits were randomized into multidomain intervention (physical exercise, nutritional counseling, cognitive training, and vascular risk factor management) and control groups. This study included the participants in J-MINT who had undergone the intervention program and follow-up evaluation at least once.
Background: People living with dementia (PWD) often have inactivity-induced muscle atrophy, increased sedentary behavior, and circadian rhythm disorders. Exercise may improve physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep in PWD, but further research is needed. The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to examine whether a structured exercise program improves physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep in PWD.
