Web-enhanced return-to-work coordination for employees with common mental disorders: reduction of sick leave duration and relapse

Author(s): Corbière M; Mazaniello-Chézol M; Lecomte T; Guay S; Panaccio A; Giguère CÉ;

Background: Common mental disorders (CMDs) are highly prevalent in workplace settings, and have become a significant public health challenge. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of PRATICAdr, a web application facilitated by a Return-to-Work Coordinator (RTW-C), with a focus on reducing sick leave duration and preventing relapse in individuals wit ...

Prioritizing Chemical Features in Non-targeted Analysis through Spatial Trend Analysis: Application to the Identification of Organic Chemicals Subject to Mountain Cold-Trapping

Author(s): Zhang X; Zhan F; Hao C; Lei YD; Wania F;

One of the challenges arising during non-targeted analysis (NTA) is that the number of detected chemical features is generally too large for detailed processing and interpretation. Here, we illustrate how the analysis of spatial trends in peak intensities can be an effective tool to prioritize chemical features in NTA. Specifically, features detected by g ...

Contribution of Coal Tar Sources to Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds and Associated Ecological Risk in Lake Ontario Sediments: Inference from a Novel Marker

Author(s): Zhang X; Bowman DT; Diamond ML; Helm P; Jobst KJ; Hao C; Kleywegt S; Zhang ZF; Marvin C; Zhang X;

Coal tar-related products as a source of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are particularly concerning due to high PAC concentrations and inadequate source management. Benzo[b]carbazole, a benzocarbazole isomer exclusively found in coal tar-derived products, acts as an ideal marker to distingu ...

Reappraising beliefs about losing control: An experimental investigation

Author(s): Fridgen CPEA; Radomsky AS;

Background and objectives: Beliefs about losing control over one's thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and/or bodily functions have been shown to cause obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The cognitive model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) suggests that catastrophic misappraisals of intrusions will lessen if underlying maladaptive beliefs are effectivel ...

Further analyses of appraisals of losing control and other OCD-related cognitions: A quasi-experimental investigation

Author(s): Sandstrom A; Radomsky AS;

Background and objectives: Cognitive models of OCD posit that dysfunctional beliefs contribute to the maintenance of symptoms. In addition to well-established belief domains, beliefs about losing control has been identified as a novel cognitive domain which may influence OCD phenomena, including other dysfunctional beliefs. However, the exact nature of th ...

3D bioheat transfer mapping reveals nanomagnetic particles effectiveness in radiofrequency hyperthermia breast cancer treatment comparing to experimental study

Author(s): Kavousi M; Saadatmand E; Masoumbeigi M; Mahdavi R; Riyahi Alam N;

Radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia has been widely used for tumor ablation since magnetic-fluid-hyperthermia (MFH) can be utilized for increasing temperature in tumor-region as a complementary-method for hyperthermia. In this study, the effectiveness of using the magnetite-nanoparticles (Fe3O4) in RF hyperthermia for breast cancer (BC) treatment by determin ...

On the nature, predictors, and outcomes of work passion profiles: A generalisability study across distinct types of employees

Author(s): Gillet N; Morin AJS; Brault S; Becker M; Verbeke I;

Thus far, little research has adopted a person-centred approach to investigate the nature of work passion profiles. As a result, our understanding of the most commonly occurring combinations of harmonious passion (HP) and obsessive passion (OP) in the workplace remains limited. To achieve a more refined understanding of the nature of these work passion pr ...

Near-optimal learning of Banach-valued, high-dimensional functions via deep neural networks

Author(s): Adcock B; Brugiapaglia S; Dexter N; Moraga S;

The past decade has seen increasing interest in applying Deep Learning (DL) to Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). Driven by impressive results in applications such as computer vision, Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), genetics, simulations and image processing, DL is increasingly supplanting classical algorithms, and seems poised to revolutionize ...

A Humanized Yeast Model for Studying TRAPP Complex Mutations; Proof-of-Concept Using Variants from an Individual with a TRAPPC1-Associated Neurodevelopmental Syndrome

Author(s): Zykaj E; Abboud C; Asadi P; Warsame S; Almousa H; Milev MP; Greco BM; López-Sánchez M; Bratkovic D; Kachroo AH; Pérez-Jurado LA; Sacher M;

Variants in membrane trafficking proteins are known to cause rare disorders with severe symptoms. The highly conserved transport protein particle (TRAPP) complexes are key membrane trafficking regulators that are also involved in autophagy. Pathogenic genetic variants in specific TRAPP subunits a ...

Measurement invariance and differential item functioning of the functionality appreciation scale (FAS) in Colombia and Spain

Author(s): Mebarak M; Maïano C; Mendoza J; Zamora Á; Baños R; Desdentado L; Miragall M; Herrero R; Swami V;

The Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) is increasingly used in diverse national and linguistic contexts. However, limited work has assessed the extent to which the instrument demonstrates measurement invariance and differential item functioning (DIF) across nations and respondent characterist ...

Development and psychometric evaluation of the Violation Appraisal Measure (VAM)

Author(s): Krause S; Radomsky AS;

Mental contamination refers to feelings of dirtiness and/or urges to wash that arise without direct contact with a contaminant. Cognitive models propose that this results from "serious, negative misappraisals of perceived violations". However, the specific violation misappraisals most relevant to mental contamination have yet to be established empirically ...
