Cross-sectional study on the psychosocial factors, the severity of depression, and coping strategies among patients attempting suicide.

With around 10-20 million individuals attempting suicide each year, suicide attempts have been considered a significant public health issue. A significant fraction of it is caused by depression. Life events and other psychosocial stressors were frequently linked to both depression and suicidal behavior. Coping strategies are cognitive, emotional, and behavioral approaches used to lessen and cope with the negative impacts of stressful situations. This study aimed to find the psychosocial factors, the severity of depression, and coping strategies among patients attempting suicide. Study design: This study was a hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 120 consecutive cases were selected using Patient Health Questionnaire 2 (PHQ-2) scales and assessed for severity of depression and coping strategies using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) and Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced Inventory (Brief-COPE) scales, respectively. Pearson's Chi-square or Fisher's exact test and independent-samples t-test have been performed to see the association between categorical and continuous variables. The Pearson correlation coefficient has been used to see the relationship between two continuous variables. Most of the cases (33.3%) were found to be severely depressed. Among all the cases, the majority, that is, 90.8%, were using avoidant-type coping strategies and only 9.2% were using approach-type coping strategies. A significant positive correlation between the avoidant-type coping strategy and depression and a negative correlation between the approach-type coping strategy and depression was found. Patients with depression attempting suicide were found to utilize avoidant-type coping strategies to cope with life stresses. Hence, it is crucial to place greater emphasis on assessing coping strategies and focus on teaching approach-oriented coping strategies as a means to prevent suicidal attempts.

Enhancement of Academic Reading Comprehension Skills through Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach (CALLA)

Language skills are an integral part of quality education as it induces communication, creates comprehensibility of content and expedites knowledge acquisition. This requires students to actively involve in language learning, to meet the growing competent requirements of engineering education. Enhancing Reading competence is one of the crucial factors for achieving academic success. This paper examines the effectiveness of Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach in enhancing the reading comprehension skills of first year Engineering students. Cognitive Language Learning Approach is an instructional student – centred approach designed around cognitive and metacognitive strategies, to enable easy comprehension of academic language content. A study was conducted in one of the leading government aided institutions in southern Tamil Nadu, to enhance the reading comprehension skills through the academic subject of Technical English. Data were collected using post-test experimental design, with control group and experimental group (20 each). The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics while the qualitative data recorded the responses of student’s perception on the efficacy of CALLA. The data analysis revealed in enhancement of reading comprehension skills, elevating the overall reading competency.

Teaching with Conceptual Metaphors: A Cognitive linguistic approach to Japanese Idioms Teaching

In recent studies, the importance of developing metaphorical competence for L2 learners has been highlighted by many cognition linguists. Applying metaphor instruction in language education is increasingly considered as an effective way of improving language teaching. This paper discusses the underlying metaphorical structures and semantic construction of Japanese idiomatic expressions centered on idioms of human body. Based on that, this paper attempts to explore some strategies for Japanese idioms teaching to Chinese JFL learners from the basic perspectives of conceptual metaphors.

Exploring the neural and behavioral correlates of cognitive telerehabilitation in mild cognitive impairment with three distinct approaches.

Currently, the impact of drug therapies on neurodegenerative conditions is limited. Therefore, there is a strong clinical interest in non-pharmacological interventions aimed at preserving functionality, delaying disease progression, reducing disability, and improving quality of life for both patients and their caregivers. This longitudinal multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) applies three innovative cognitive telerehabilitation (TR) methods to evaluate their impact on brain functional connectivity reconfigurations and on the overall level of cognitive and everyday functions. We will include 110 participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Fifty-five participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group who will receive cognitive TR via three approaches, namely: (a) Network-based Cognitive Training (NBCT), (b) Home-based Cognitive Rehabilitation (HomeCoRe), or (c) Semantic Memory Rehabilitation Training (SMRT). The control group (n = 55) will receive an unstructured home-based cognitive stimulation. The rehabilitative program will last either 4 (NBTC) or 6 weeks (HomeCoRe and SMRT), and the control condition will be adapted to each TR intervention. The effects of TR will be tested in terms of Δ connectivity change, obtained from high-density electroencephalogram (HD-EEG) or functional magnetic resonance imaging at rest (rs-fMRI), acquired before (T0) and after (T1) the intervention. All participants will undergo a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment at four time-points: baseline (T0), within 2 weeks (T1), and after 6 (T2) and 12 months (T3) from the end of TR. The results of this RCT will identify a potential association between improvement in performance induced by individual cognitive TR approaches and modulation of resting-state brain connectivity. The knowledge gained with this study might foster the development of novel TR approaches underpinned by established neural mechanisms to be validated and implemented in clinical practice.Clinical trial registration: [https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT06278818], identifier [NCT06278818].

The prediction‐oriented middle ground between behaviorist and cognitivist consumer research

AbstractClassic behaviorist and cognitivist approaches to consumer research are based on very different assumptions concerning the nature of the cognitive processes that drive consumption. Classic behaviorist research assumes that the underlying cognitive processes are extremely complex, and the effort to model them is not likely to lead to useful insights. In contrast, classic cognitivist research assumes that the underlying cognitive processes can be precisely captured with simple cognitive models. The current paper highlights the value of a middle ground. This middle ground favors the assumption that while the underlying processes are highly complex, their impact can be approximated with prediction‐oriented cognitive models. The potential of this approach is illustrated with a review of previous research demonstrating how a simple prediction‐oriented model can shed light on four interesting consumption puzzles: Buying and not using, the backfiring of certain safety devices, too much and insufficient checking, and underconsumption and overconsumption.

THE THEORY OF WELFARE ECONOMICS AND TAX REGULATIONS: AN EMPIRICAL EXAMPLE OF PIGOUVIAN TAXES

The aim of this paper is to present the impact of the economic theories and empirical studies on the contemporary tax laws and regulations in numerous jurisdictions, based on a case study of the economic concept of Pigouvian taxes which stems from the neoclassical theory of welfare economics. The author presents the theoretical concept of the Pigouvian taxation and its econometric verification and tries to demonstrate that the empirical examples of the implementation of such fiscal instruments have proved to be effective based on the quantitative assessment. However, serious deficiencies in the methodology of empirical studies on this phenomenon can also be identified, which affects the possibility of assessing the potential practical implications of introducing such mechanisms. Nevertheless, as the author demonstrates by referring to the World Bank data, the discussed concept significantly influences contemporary tax law in many countries and is a source of inspiration for many tax jurisdictions. The analysis carried out in this paper indicates that not every implementation and post-hoc evaluation of economic theory implemented into tax systems can be effectively studied with the use of economic analysis of law; when analysing regulations introduced to influence the behaviour of individuals, it is also necessary to take into account the research in other disciplines, for example psychology and sociology, even if the inspiration for the regulations in question was well-grounded and developed in economic theories. For this reason, it can be argued that economic analysis of law, also referred to as law and economics, although a valuable cognitive approach, should never be the only basis of analysis, even if a regulation in question has a strictly economic origin.

Moral educational implications of neuroscientific research on moral decisionmaking

In this study, the two types of moral judgment, rational reasoning and emotional intuition, were analyzed with a focus on neuroscientific interpretation of human responses in the trolley dilemma and footbridge dilemma. Based on such analysis, the cognitive approach required to make correct moral judgments was sought with a focus on establishing the relationship between reason and emotion. And the implications of this neuroscientific approach for moral education were derived. According to the results of neuroscientific research on people's moral judgments in the trolley dilemma and footbridge dilemma, there are many neuroscientific research results supporting that emotional intuition leads to deontological judgments and rational reasoning leads to consequential judgments. In this way, emotional intuition and rational reasoning appear widely in human moral judgment. There is a need to find a method of moral education that can harmoniously utilize emotional intuition, which is fast and efficient but has the potential for bias, and rational reasoning, which is slow but accurate and fair.
