It addresses the debate over the relevance of the term "lesbian" in contemporary academia, highlighting contrasting viewpoints on its significance. Through thematic analysis of 12 selected articles, the study elucidates tensions surrounding lesbian identities, including stigmatization, generational divides, and the move toward "queer.

Lonely and Self-Centered? A Meta-Analysis of the Link Between Prosociality and Loneliness.

While loneliness may motivate individuals to approach others, it may simultaneously increase their focus on self-preservation, resulting in egocentric behavior. Since the evidence linking loneliness and prosociality is inconclusive, the current meta-analysis aims to explore this relationship. Through a systematic search of databases, we identified 35 studies involving 44,764 participants.

The efficacy and safety of dual-target rTMS over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and cerebellum in the treatment of negative symptoms in first-episode schizophrenia: Protocol for a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study.

Background And Objective: The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) - cerebellum circuit has been implicated in the pathogenesis of negative symptoms of schizophrenia (SZ). Both areas are considered separate targets for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment, showing potential for improving negative symptoms. However, there is still a lack of research that targets both DLPFC and cerebellum simultaneously.

Comment: Injuries that Hurt - A Comment to "Embitterment - Conception of a Potential Moderator to Dysfunctional and Aggressive Behaviour in Children and Adolescents".

This comment discusses the article of Balder and Linden (2022), who debate the existence and role of embitterment in child and adolescent psychopathology. This topic appears highly relevant, but broader literature should be integrated when talking about embitterment. First, we question the conceptualization of embitterment as an emotion.

Predicting remission following CBT for childhood anxiety disorders: a machine learning approach.

Background: The identification of predictors of treatment response is crucial for improving treatment outcome for children with anxiety disorders. Machine learning methods provide opportunities to identify combinations of factors that contribute to risk prediction models.

Methods: A machine learning approach was applied to predict anxiety disorder remission in a large sample of 2114 anxious youth (5-18 years).

Identifying Infant Body Position from Inertial Sensors with Machine Learning: Which Parameters Matter?

The efficient classification of body position is crucial for monitoring infants' motor development. It may fast-track the early detection of developmental issues related not only to the acquisition of motor milestones but also to postural stability and movement patterns. In turn, this may facilitate and enhance opportunities for early intervention that are crucial for promoting healthy growth and development.

Marine Peptides: Potential Basic Structures for the Development of Hybrid Compounds as Multitarget Therapeutics for the Treatment of Multifactorial Diseases.

Marine-derived peptides display potent antihypertensive, antioxidant, analgesic and antimicrobial biological effects. Some of them have also been found to have anticancer activity via various mechanisms differing from those of continental organisms. This diversity of properties-together with the peptides' efficacy, which has been confirmed in several in vitro and in vivo studies-make these compounds attractive as functional ingredients in pharmacy, especially in regard to multitarget drugs known as hybrids.

How Argentinian Consumers Perceive the Safety of Irradiated Foods.

Food irradiation is a process used for various purposes, the main function of which is food safety. Although food irradiation has been used to ensure food safety, most consumers are unaware of the basic concepts of irradiation, misinterpreting information and showing a negative perception towards food treated with ionizing radiation. This research aimed to develop the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Awareness Scale on Consumption of Irradiated Foods (ASCIF) for the Argentine population and culture.

Wistar Male Rats () Are Aware of Their Dimensions.

Body size awareness is the ability of animals to consider the size of their bodies when interacting with environmental objects. It is one of the manifestations of body self-awareness. We studied body size awareness in laboratory rats of Wistar strain.

Ambient air pollution undermines chemosensory sensitivity - a global perspective.

This study offers insights into the complex relationship between chemical species constituting air pollution and chemosensory function. We examined the relationship between chemical species known to contribute to air pollution and assault human health and chemosensory sensitivity. Chemosensory sensitivity data was retrieved from a large-scale study involving 711 urban-dwelling participants inhabiting 10 different regions of the globe.

Stress enhances memory for previously encoded events depending on stressor recall.

Stressful events are typically well remembered, but their effects on memory for surrounding neutral events and the underlying mechanisms remain less clear. We hypothesized that stress would enhance memory for events surrounding the stressor, contingent on the memory of the stressor itself. Additionally, we predicted that memory for neutral events would be modulated by pairing them with stressor-related cues.

Dynamic and reciprocal relations between job insecurity and physical and mental health.

This article reports the results of a 33-wave longitudinal study of relations between job insecurity and physical and mental health based on monthly data collected between April 2020 and December 2022 among = 1,666 employees in Germany. We integrate dynamic theorizing from the transactional stress model and domain-specific theorizing based on stressor creation and perception to frame hypotheses regarding dynamic and reciprocal relations between job insecurity and health over time. We find that lower physical health predicted subsequent increases in job insecurity and higher physical health predicted subsequent decreases in job insecurity.

Facing emotional vocalizations and instrumental sounds: Sighted and blind individuals spontaneously and selectively activate facial muscles in response to emotional stimuli.

Facial mimicry of visually observed emotional facial actions is a robust phenomenon. Here, we examined whether such facial mimicry extends to auditory emotional stimuli. We also examined if participants' facial responses differ to sounds that are more strongly associated with congruent facial movements, such as vocal emotional expressions (e.

Wishful perceiving: A value-based bias for perception of close others.

Why do people not perceive their close others accurately, although they have ample information about them? We propose that one reason for such errors may be bias based on personal values. Personal values may serve as schemas defining what people see as positive, and thus affect perceptions of others' behavior, values, and traits. We propose that, in close relationships, people see others as sharing their own values.

Substantial Heritability Underlies Fairness Norm Adaptation Capability and its Neural Basis.

The present research uncovers the shared genetic underpinnings of fairness norm adaptation capability, its neural correlates, and long-term mental health outcomes. One hundred and eighty-six twins are recruited and played as responders in the Ultimatum Game (UG) while undergoing fMRI scanning in their early adulthood (Study-1) and are measured on depressive symptoms eight years later (Study-2). With computational modeling, the process of norm adaptation is differentiated from that of fairness valuation in UG.

Advancing the personalized advantage index (PAI): a systematic review and application in two large multi-site samples in anxiety disorders.

Background: The Personalized Advantage Index (PAI) shows promise as a method for identifying the most effective treatment for individual patients. Previous studies have demonstrated its utility in retrospective evaluations across various settings. In this study, we explored the effect of different methodological choices in predictive modelling underlying the PAI.

Use It or Lose It: Facilitating the Use of Interactive Data Apps in Psychological Research Data Sharing.

The value of open research data (ORD), a key feature of open science, lies in their reuse. However, the mere online availability of ORD does not guarantee their reuse by other researchers. Specifically, previous meta-scientific research has indicated that the underutilization of ORD is related to barriers at the level of the ORD themselves, potential reusers of ORD, and the broader academic ecosystem.

The Associations of Peer-Rated Popularity and Likeability With Dark Triad Personality Traits in Adolescent Groups.

One of the most significant challenges in adolescence is the pursuit of social acceptance, which can manifest in various forms, including likeability and popularity. Achieving social acceptance is associated with positive outcomes, while its absence is linked to adverse consequences. Existing research into the personality determinants impacting the ability to elicit likeability or gain popularity remains limited, primarily focusing on the influence of Big Five traits.

The Helping by Clicking Types Questionnaire (HCTQ): The Development of a Measure to Assess Different Patterns of Helping by Clicking.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of aid campaigns launched via social media. The paper explores the phenomenon called "helping by clicking," which consists in clicking "Like" to support a charitable campaign or cause. The main aim of the paper is to present a new measure: The Helping by Clicking Types Questionnaire (HCTQ), assessing the patterns of helping by clicking.

Influence of Vigilance Performance on Lifeguard Gaze Behaviour.

The present study sought to examine the gaze behaviours exhibited by lifeguards with different levels of experience while performing a task focused on detecting drowning incidents across extended periods. The results indicated a gradual decline in detection performance over time, regardless of the lifeguards' levels of experience. Analysis of the participants' gaze behaviours unveiled that this decline was associated with alterations in both the number and duration of fixations.

Musicality and social cognition in dementia: clinical and anatomical associations.

Human musicality might have co-evolved with social cognition abilities, but common neuroanatomical substrates remain largely unclear. In behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia, social cognitive abilities are profoundly impaired, whereas these are typically spared in Alzheimer's disease. If musicality indeed shares a neuroanatomical basis with social cognition, it could be hypothesized that clinical and neuroanatomical associations of musicality and social cognition should differ between these causes of dementia.
