Associations between early poverty exposure and adolescent well-being: The role of childhood negative emotionality

Author(s): De France K; Stack DM; Serbin LA;

Using a longitudinal design (Wave 1 n = 164, Mage = 3.57 years, 54% female, predominantly White and French-speaking), the current study sought to answer two questions: 1) does poverty influence children's negative emotionality through heightened family-level, poverty-related stress? and 2) is negative emotionality, in turn, predictive of adolescent ...

Development of a Bayesian inference model for assessing ventilation condition based on CO2 meters in primary schools

Author(s): Hou D; Wang LL; Katal A; Yan S; Zhou LG; Wang V; Vuotari M; Li E; Xie Z;

Outdoor fresh air ventilation plays a significant role in reducing airborne transmission of diseases in indoor spaces. School classrooms are considerably challenged during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the increasing need for in-person education, untimely and incompleted vaccinations, high occupancy density, and uncertain ventilation conditions. Many ...

Financial well-being: Capturing an elusive construct with an optimized measure

Author(s): Aubrey M; Morin AJS; Fernet C; Carbonneau N;

Several definitions and measures of financial well-being (FWB) have been proposed in the scientific literature. The Multidimensional Subjective Financial Well-being Scale (MSFWBS) stands out among these measures in its ability to account for the conceptual richness of FWB. However, the original validation study based on a confirmatory factor analytic mo ...

Nonlinear Statistical Analysis of Normal and Pathological Infant Cry Signals in Cepstrum Domain by Multifractal Wavelet Leaders

Author(s): Lahmiri S; Tadj C; Gargour C;

Multifractal behavior in the cepstrum representation of healthy and unhealthy infant cry signals is examined by means of wavelet leaders and compared using the Student t-test. The empirical results show that both expiration and inspiration signals exhibit clear evidence of multifractal properties under healthy and unhealthy conditions. In addition, expi ...

RPA Plasmons in Graphene Nanoribbons: Influence of a VO2 Substrate

Author(s): Bahrami M; Vasilopoulos P;

We study the effect of the phase-change material VO2 on plasmons in metallic arm-chair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) within the random-phase approximation (RPA) for intra- and inter-band transitions. We assess the influence of temperature as a knob for the transition from the insulating to the metallic phase of VO2 on localized and propagating plasmon mo ...

Dopamine and Beyond: Implications of Psychophysical Studies of Intracranial Self-Stimulation for the Treatment of Depression

Author(s): Pallikaras V; Shizgal P;

Major depressive disorder is a leading cause of disability and suicide worldwide. Consecutive rounds of conventional interventions are ineffective in a significant sub-group of patients whose disorder is classified as treatment-resistant depression. Significant progress in managing this severe form of depression has been achieved through the use of deep ...

Behavioral, Neural, and Molecular Mechanisms of Conditioned Mate Preference: The Role of Opioids and First Experiences of Sexual Reward

Author(s): Gonzalo R Quintana

Although mechanisms of mate preference are thought to be relatively hard-wired, experience with appetitive and consummatory sexual reward has been shown to condition preferences for partner related cues and even objects that predict sexual reward. Here, we reviewed evidence from laboratory species and humans on sexually conditioned place, partner, and e ...

Young women's engagement with gambling: A critical qualitative inquiry of risk conceptualisations and motivations to gamble

Author(s): McCarthy S; Thomas S; Pitt H; Marko S; Randle M; Cowlishaw S; Kairouz S; Daube M;

Background: Younger women's engagement with gambling has changed over recent decades due to a range of socio-cultural, environmental and commercial factors. However, younger women's distinct lived experiences with gambling have rarely been considered. The following critical qualitative inquiry explored factors that influenced younger women's ...

Social decision-making in Parkinson's disease

Author(s): Caballero JA; Auclair Ouellet N; Phillips NA; Pell MD;

Introduction: Parkinson's Disease (PD) commonly affects cognition and communicative functions, including the ability to perceive socially meaningful cues from nonverbal behavior and spoken language (e.g., a speaker's tone of voice). However, we know little about how people with PD use social information to make decisions in daily interactions (e ...

The Portiloop: A deep learning-based open science tool for closed-loop brain stimulation

Author(s): Valenchon N; Bouteiller Y; Jourde HR; L' Heureux X; Sobral M; Coffey EBJ; Beltrame G;

Closed-loop brain stimulation refers to capturing neurophysiological measures such as electroencephalography (EEG), quickly identifying neural events of interest, and producing auditory, magnetic or electrical stimulation so as to interact with brain processes precisely. It is a promising new method for fundamental neuroscience and perhaps for clinical ...

HoloPhaseNet: fully automated deep-learning-based hologram reconstruction using a conditional generative adversarial model

Author(s): Jaferzadeh K; Fevens T;

Quantitative phase imaging with off-axis digital holography in a microscopic configuration provides insight into the cells' intracellular content and morphology. This imaging is conventionally achieved by numerical reconstruction of the recorded hologram, which requires the precise setting of the reconstruction parameters, including reconstruction d ...
