Aging towards walkable futures: insights from a multidisciplinary workshop held in Barcelona, Spain

BackgroundThe aging of the world’s population and the increase in sedentary lifestyles are leading to an increase in walking impairments at older ages. Here, we aimed to comprehensively discuss walking in the context of an aging population; and identify and agree on a list of future research priorities and policy actions.MethodsWe followed a participatory approach and held a multidisciplinary two-day workshop on October, 2023 in Barcelona, Spain, with experts in the fields of aging and walking, and participants from the general public.ResultsA total of 56 national and international participants, from a multidisciplinary background, joined the workshop. They had a median age of 40 years (range 24–83), and 62% were female. Participants discussed the meaning of walking from different perspectives and its change with age and in the presence of diverse mobility-impairing conditions; the emotional and social components of walking; and the role of the environment in walking. Participants identified unmet needs, research priorities and policy actions related to walking in older ages.ConclusionsThis two-day workshop provided a space for professionals and public to comprehensively discuss walking at older ages. Participants highlighted the relevance of a better and more comprehensive assessment of walking; the need to shift focus towards comprehensive health that considers physical, emotional and social aspects as well as individuals’ preferences and expectations; and the importance of translating research into action. Future work can draw on the discussions held during this event in a thought-provoking and hypothesis-generating way.

Sex-specific contrasting role of BECLIN-1 protein in pain hypersensitivity and anxiety-like behaviors.

Chronic pain is a debilitative disease affecting 1 in 5 adults globally, and is a major risk factor for anxiety (Goldberg and McGee, 2011; Lurie, DI., 2018). Given the current dearth of available treatments for both individuals living with chronic pain and mental illnesses, there is a critical need for research into the molecular mechanisms involved in order to discover novel treatment targets. Cellular homeostasis is crucial for normal bodily functions and investigations of this process may provide better understanding of the mechanisms driving the development of chronic pain. Using the spared nerve injury (SNI) model of neuropathic pain, we found contrasting roles for BECLIN-1 in the development of pain hypersensitivity and anxiety-like behaviors in a sex-dependent manner. Remarkably, we found that male SNI mice with impaired BECLIN-1 function demonstrated heightened mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity compared to male wildtype SNI mice, while female SNI mice with impaired BECLIN-1 function demonstrated similar thresholds to the female wildtype SNI mice. We also found that disruptions of BECLIN-1 prevented SNI induced increases in anxiety-like behaviors in male mice. Our data thus indicate that BECLIN-1 is differentially involved in the nociceptive and emotion components of chronic pain in male but not female mice.Significance Statement One in five adults suffer from chronic pain, and it is a major risk factor for anxiety. Close to three quarters of the population suffering from chronic pain are women, yet the vast majority of pre-clinical research uses solely male models, and excludes females. In this manuscript, we use female and male mice to discover a novel role for BECLIN-1 in neuropathic pain, and comorbid anxiety-like behaviors in mice. We found that disruptions of Beclin-1 reduces nociceptive hypersensitivity whilst preventing pain-induced increases in anxiety-like behaviors. Notably, these effects were sex-dependent, where only males, but not females, showed BECLIN-1 mediated effects. Our data thus indicates that macroautophagy is differentially involved in nociception and anxiety, in male, but not female mice.

Development and implementation of a deep learning-based smart evaluation system for animated films

Animation has a rich history of over a century, and scholarly interest in the critique of animated films has evolved alongside its development. With the advent of the Internet and advancements in computer technology, traditional methods of animated movie appreciation are increasingly challenged by new complexities. This paper addresses these challenges by presenting an advanced intelligent system for evaluating animated films, utilizing cutting-edge deep learning models. Our approach begins with a pre-trained deep learning model to classify image categories and extract scene characteristics, while a primary color extraction algorithm captures key color features. Building on this, we propose an innovative deep convolutional neural network (CNN) augmented with fully connected layers to integrate multimodal features, enhancing the accuracy of film evaluations. Furthermore, we introduce a novel deep learning framework designed to detect pixel regions in images that evoke emotional responses. By employing visualization techniques within the convolutional network, we identify emotionally significant regions and enhance these features during initial training, improving the system’s emotional sensitivity. Experimental results demonstrate that our system not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of animated film evaluations but also surpasses existing methods, offering a more nuanced, emotion-aware approach to animation critique. This work advances the field by providing a robust, automated tool for evaluating animated films, offering deeper insights into their emotional and visual components, and contributing to the ongoing evolution of AI-driven film appreciation systems.

Узуальная метафора как средство репрезентации концепта-регулятива ABNEIGUNG в современном немецком языке

The purpose of the study is to determine the content of the value component of the regulative concept ABNEIGING (ANTIPATHY), expressed by the usual metaphors representing the conceptual metaphor ‘Abneigung ist ein Naturwesen’ (Antipathy is a natural organism). The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that, for the first time, the value characteristics of the regulative concept ABNEIGUNG are described on the basis of the German language and linguistic metaphors that verbalize the conceptual metaphor ‘Abneigung ist ein Naturwesen’ are classified according to the level of linguistic hierarchy and stylistic significance. The article examines the physiological and emotional components of the emotion “antipathy”, justifies the choice of its mental representation – a regulative concept related to universal, cultural, nonparametric emotional regulative concepts. Linguistic metaphors explicating the conceptual metaphor ‘Abneigung ist ein Naturwesen’ are analyzed. As a result, it is determined that the distinctive characteristic of the regulative concept ABNEIGUNG is its pronounced value component, represented by rationalistic assessments – utilitarian (useful – harmful, correct – incorrect) and teleological (effective – ineffective). Based on the analysis of linguistic metaphors explicating the conceptual metaphor ‘Abneigung ist ein Naturwesen’, it has been established that they are metaphors-words, metaphors-phrases, metaphors-sentences, according to the type of stylistic significance – customary metaphors.

A novel method for objective quantification of apathy based on gaze and physiological reactivity to stimuli presented in a virtual reality environment

AbstractINTRODUCTIONWe developed a tool for objective quantification of apathy.METHODSParticipants (n = 97; 67 with cognitive impairment, 30 cognitively normal; mean age = 74.3 ± 6.2 years, 56.7% females) were exposed to emotional and cognitive stimuli in a virtual reality environment. Gaze metrics (time to first fixation [TTFF] and total fixation duration [TFD]) and autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity were measured. Apathy and depression were clinically assessed using the Lille Apathy Rating Scale short version and the Geriatric Depression Scale 15‐item version, respectively. Cutoffs of ≥ –7 and ≥ 5 were used to define apathy and depression, respectively.RESULTSThe sample comprised 14 participants with apathy only, 9 with depression only, 10 with both, 63 with neither, and 1 with missing data. For all emotional stimuli, participants with apathy only showed longer TTFF (P = 0.039, effect sizes [ES] = 0.798), and shorter TFD (P = 0.023, ES = 0.578) compared to those without apathy or depression. ANS reactivity was not associated with apathy.DISCUSSIONApathy is associated with decreased gaze engagement at emotional stimuli.Highlights Apathy measurement via questionnaires is limited by subjectivity biases. Apathy measurement via questionnaires is limited by simplistic scoring. We present a novel method for objective measurement of apathy. Gaze characteristics reflect the emotional and cognitive components of apathy.

Formation of professional self-awareness of future specialists in the process of their educational activity is one of the leading problems of modern psychological science. In modern Russia, the problem of formation of professional self-awareness of youth, organization of psychological and pedagogical conditions of its formation has become relevant in connection with the changed socio-economic conditions that arose in connection with the process of formation of a new civil society, modernization in the field of education, including professional, as well as with a significant need to transform the attitude of the subject of labor to his professional activity. The purpose of the study was to study the influence of additional education on the formation of professional self-awareness of youth. The study involved 130 students of state educational institutions of primary and secondary vocational education under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Education of St. Petersburg, included in the system of additional education, aged 17 to 22 years (including 15 boys and 15 girls), and 130 students of state educational institutions of primary and secondary vocational education under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Education of St. Petersburg, not included in the system of additional education, aged 17 to 22 years (including 15 boys and 15 girls). The following methods were used in the study: "Questionnaire for determining the level of professional orientation of students" (UPN) by T.D. Dubovitskaya; Methodology for the study of self-attitude (MIS) by S.R. Panteleev; Questionnaire "Stylish self-regulation of human behavior" by V.I. Morosanova, E.M. Konoz; Methodology for diagnosing socio-psychological attitudes of the individual in the motivational-needs sphere by O.F. Potemkina; Self-actualization test by E. Shostrom adapted by L. Ya. Gozman, M. V. Kroz, M. V. Latyn; “Personal Differential” (PD) method (version adapted at the Bekhterev Research Institute). To process the obtained data, methods of quantitative and qualitative data analysis were used (descriptive statistics methods, comparative analysis (Student’s t-test)). Before the comparative analysis, the empirical distribution was checked for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical normality test (with Liljefors correction). Statistical data processing was performed using the SPSS 23.0 Statistics 28.0.1 software package. The study found that students included in the system of additional education have a better developed cognitive component of professional self-awareness, realized in self-knowledge, an emotional component expressed in self-understanding as an evaluative and emotional attitude towards oneself, self-respect and self-acceptance, an operational component of professional self-awareness, as well as a motivational and target component realized in the desire for self-actualization. The results obtained allow us to conclude that additional education plays a positive role in developing professional self-awareness of young people. The system of additional education forms professional self-awareness, a sense of self-worth, and promotes the disclosure of personal and leadership potential, which will contribute to successful career building.

A Comprehensive Study on the Impact of the Scale of Learning Spaces on Happiness and Well-Being of Preschool Children with reference to two selected cases from Colombo, Sri Lanka

Childhood is concerned as the foundation of an adult. Therefore, providing of psychologically inspiring spaces for children is vital. The previous studies have been done related to happiness and well-being of preschool children, mostly focusing on the usage of colors, indoor environment quality, outdoor play spaces etc. But there is very limited evidence for studying the inter-connection between the scale of learning spaces and happiness and well-being of preschool children. Considering the research gap in the context of architectural design, this study was first of its kind to investigate the impact of scale of learning spaces, on the happiness and well-being (i.e., In related to PERMA profiler) of preschool children. Mosaic approach from Professor Allison Clerk was used to collect data for the research. Results revealed that large scale learning spaces generates high levels of PERMA profiler than small scale learning spaces. Large scale learning spaces support in generating engagement (79.3%), relationships (78.2%) and accomplished (74.3%) components in related to PERMA profiler. Small scale learning spaces aid in generating positive emotion (79.3%) and meaning (65.3%) components when considered in related to PERMA profiler. The recommendations provided based on the findings can be utilized to design future preschool learning spaces that promote high levels of happiness and well-being in preschool children.

CONNOTATIONS OF CONTEXTUAL SYNONYMS IN TEXTUAL COHERENCE

The article examines various approaches to the classification of connotation as a semantic component of linguistic units within the communicative domain. It also analyzes the classification of connotation from the perspectives of linguistics, stylistics, logic, and philosophy. Connotation is regarded as a significant means of semantic construction in discourse. From a typological standpoint, the study identifies expressive, emotional, evaluative, duration, and other semantic components within the semantic structure. At the level of connotation and modality expression in texts, the issue of contextual synonyms is also addressed. Synonyms are considered tools for text cohesion, and their usage is analyzed within specific textual frameworks. Additionally, the expression of semantic properties is discussed concerning the genre characteristics of the text and the communicative situation. The functional significance of synonyms as textual creation tools is explored from the perspective of semantic cohesion. Furthermore, synonyms are examined in terms of their role in ensuring content accuracy and the selection of linguistic expressiveness. In studying the linguistic and textual modalities of synonyms, it is deemed appropriate to analyze them from structural, semantic, and functional perspectives. Observations from these perspectives should incorporate necessary contextual inclusivity, account for linguistic, i.e. stylistic features, and clarify the pragmatic “value” of discourse. Such approaches not only refine the practical material of the research but also enhance the robustness of the evidential basis presented.

Возможности и ограничения содержания программ, направленных на развитие понимания дошкольниками эмоций

There are many studies about the values and ways to develop a child's understanding of emotions. This led to the design of a number of programs aimed at developing an understanding of emotions. Such programs have different content, often contradictory in comparison with each other. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to identify the possibilities and limitations of the content of programs aimed at developing an understanding of emotions. The method in this study was a comparative analysis of programs. The programs were compared using the components of understanding emotions highlighted in the F. model. Pons and P.L. Harris. Eight educational programs for developing preschoolers' understanding of emotions presented in peer-reviewed publications were selected. As a result of the conducted research, the possibilities of the content of programs based on various approaches to the child's understanding of emotion were highlighted. The limitations of programs determined by such approaches were also highlighted. In addition, the features of the topic of understanding emotions were highlighted, which make it possible to deepen the content of programs when designing.

Психологическая подготовка студентов к экстремальным ситуациям средствами виртуальной реальности

<p>The article considers the results of the study of psychological preparation of students — extreme profile psychologists for situations of special risk through special organized training using virtual reality. <strong>Subjects</strong>: 38 students aged 20 to 24 years, including 29 females. The subjects were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. <strong>Research methods</strong>: method “Forecast”, method of differential diagnostics of depressive states by V.A. Zhmurov, method “Assessment of neuropsychic stress”, diagnostics of slowing down of biological aging using the program “Anti-aging XXI” (T.N. Berezina). Methods of mathematical statistics: calculation of descriptive statistics, calculation of the Mann-Whitney U criterion, calculation of the Spearman correlation coefficient. Methods of experimental influence: seven VR simulators of different influences (flight simulator, depth, altitude, speed, darkness, etc.). <strong>Results</strong>. There is a relationship between motivation for activity in extreme conditions and personal resources: a direct relationship with the “achievement” resource and an inverse relationship with the risk level. The VR training we developed actualizes these resources. Increased achievements are ensured by the fact that respondents successfully complete tasks in extreme situations simulated in VR. Risk reduction is ensured by adaptation to extreme situations during the training. After the training, the subjects of the experimental group showed a significant decrease in the level of depression and an increase in the motivational and emotional components of readiness for action in an extreme situation. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: to increase motivation for activity in an extreme environment, it is necessary to increase the “achievement” resource, and for the “risk” resource, it is necessary to achieve its replacement with a conscious attitude to the situation. Virtual reality technologies have proven their effectiveness in increasing personal resources and preparing psychology students for activity in extreme conditions.</p>

Philosophical counselling as a tool for strengthening personal resilience: an exploratory study

The article discusses philosophical counselling as a tool for developing personal resilience and examines its impact on coping with life challenges. In recent decades, people have faced numerous global changes, including pandemics, natural disasters, and economic shifts, making the issue of personal resilience more critical than ever. Personal resilience is defined as the ability to cope, recover, and grow from crises, consisting of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components. The paper presents philosophical counselling as a unique approach to enhancing personal resilience, differing from other therapeutic approaches such as psychotherapy. Philosophical counselling focuses on the analysis of ethical and moral issues, aiming to empower self-awareness and foster critical thinking and mental flexibility. The article explores key philosophical approaches, such as Stoicism, Socratic philosophy, and Existentialism, which reinforce a sense of self-control, finding meaning in life, and mental adaptability. This study examines the impact of a philosophical counselling workshop on three dimensions of personal resilience: comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. The findings show significant improvement in these areas, particularly in the manageability dimension. The results support the notion that philosophical counselling can contribute to strengthening personal resilience, primarily by enhancing the ability to understand life situations and give them meaning.

Exploring Professional Riders’ Understanding and Experience of Feel Within the Equestrian Dyad

ABSTRACT More than just technical skill and trained movements, riding involves horse and human dynamically sensing and responding to each other. Horses’ superior tactile sensitivity and heightened perception of non-verbal cues suggest that, whether intentionally or not, the dyad is constantly communicating. This complex horse–rider interaction is anecdotally referred to in the equestrian world as “feel.” Although considered a valued attribute of talented equestrians, little is known about riders’ understanding and experience of it. This study sought to investigate professional riders’ perceptions of feel. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted online (6 female, 3 male, M = 49.38 ± 17.9 years) exploring the riders’: (1) understanding of the concept of feel; (2) recognition of feel in self and others; (3) perceived influential factors; and (4) perception of the horse’s role. Interviews were analyzed inductively using reflexive thematic analysis. Four key themes were generated from the data to represent the riders’ understanding and experience: (1) feel as an ideal (2) feel as a training tool, (3) feel as feedback from the horse, (4) feel as self-awareness. Feel is perceived as a multifaceted skill, with physical, cognitive, and emotional components, which is key to optimizing performance and equine welfare. Good feel is believed to distinguish exceptional riders and be a transcendent experience. However, it is regarded as difficult to teach. Riders emphasized the influence of their body and mind on the horse, and a need to appreciate horses’ communication and sentience and develop a reciprocal connection. Further investigation into riders’ experience of feel within the dyad is warranted.

Evaluation of Emotional Distress in Oncology Palliative Patients: Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) and Palliative Outcome Scale (POS)-A Portuguese Cross-Sectional Study.

Cancer patients in palliative care frequently experience psychological distress, encompassing cognitive, behavioral, and emotional dimensions. This distress can significantly affect their capacity to accept the inevitability of death. Commonly, such distress manifests as sadness, depression, anxiety, and fear, which may culminate in an existential crisis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) and the Palliative Outcome Scale (POS) among hospitalized cancer patients receiving palliative care in a Portuguese palliative care unit. Data were collected from psychological screening instruments (ESAS and POS) used in oncology patients admitted to an oncology palliative service. The study period spanned from January 2021 to March 2021. The study included a convenience sample of 60 patients diagnosed with advanced cancer who were sequentially admitted to a palliative care unit. The most frequently reported primary oncological diagnoses were gastrointestinal (41.7%) and head/neck (20%) tumors. The majority of the patients were male (n = 37; 61.7%), with a median age of 72 years (range: 43-94 years). Key findings from the analysis indicated the following associations: anxiety and self-reported symptoms (higher levels of patient anxiety related to illness or treatment were strongly correlated with increased self-reported anxiety (p < 0.01)); emotional sharing and perceived meaning of life (patients who shared their feelings less frequently with family and friends were significantly less likely to find meaning in life (p < 0.01) and were more likely to report a poorer self-perception (p < 0.05)); understanding the importance of life and self-perception (a diminished understanding of the importance of life was associated with worsened self-perception (p < 0.01)); anxiety and depressive symptoms (greater anxiety related to the disease or its treatment correlated with an increased severity of depressive symptoms (p < 0.01)). There are numerous validated instruments available for measuring emotional distress. Among these, the ESAS and POS complement each other as practical and easy-to-use tools for evaluating emotional distress in patients admitted to palliative care settings. Findings revealed that anxiety and concerns related to the disease and its treatment, as measured by the POS, served as predictors of the risk for self-reported anxiety and depression identified by the ESAS. Furthermore, the items within the POS that evaluate the emotional component demonstrated strong internal correlation, supporting their combined use for a comprehensive assessment of this dimension.

Стратегии взаимодействия родителей с детьми дошкольного возраста и особенности представлений о родительстве

&lt;p&gt;This article reveals the problem of the relationship between the strategies of interaction of parents with preschool children and ideas about parenting in the context of studying the phenomenon of conscious parenting. Conscious and responsible parenting is considered as a transformation of the activity of education in line with higher mental functions modeled by society. Strategies of interaction of parents with a child reflect, to a greater extent, the behavioral component, while various ideas about parenting reflect, to a greater extent, the cognitive and emotional component of conscious and responsible parenting. The results showed that in the structure of strategies of interaction with a child, parents prefer explanatory and coping strategies. That is, in the parental subculture, these types of interaction are considered the most approved and acceptable in raising children. These strategies are directly correlated with such ideas about their parenting as the breadth of the value sphere in the field of raising children, acceptance of their own parenting, a positive attitude to the main institutions of socialization of the child and a high level of awareness of the age characteristics of the child. The variability of individual interaction strategies is determined by the nature of the connection between different interaction strategies. The results of the study allow us to develop technologies for educating and supporting parents. Diagnostic methods can be used as a tool for forming the metacognitive component of parenting, enhancing awareness of various aspects of the child's socialization.&lt;/p&gt;

We Are Not Equipped to Identify the First Signs of Cyber–Physical Attacks: Emotional Reactions to Cybersecurity Breaches on Domestic Internet of Things Devices

The increasing number of domestic Internet of Things (IoT) devices in our lives leads to numerous benefits, but also comes with an increased risk of cybersecurity breaches. These breaches have psychological consequences for the users. We examined the nature of the psychological impact of cybersecurity breaches on domestic IoT by investigating emotional experiences in a scenario study (Study 1) and a field experiment (Study 2) using the five emotion components of the Component Process Model (CPM) and emotion regulation as a framework. We replicated a three-dimensional structure for emotional experiences found in a previous study, with an addition of an ancillary fourth dimension in the second study. The first dimension represents emotional intensity. The second bipolar dimension describes constructive vs. unconstructive action tendencies. On the third dimension, also bipolar, cognitive and motivational emotion features are opposed to affective emotion features. The fourth dimension, labeled distress symptoms, mainly reflects negative emotions. In Study 2, most of the introduced frequent irregularities on IoT devices were not noticed, and the intensity of emotional reactions and tendencies to react in a constructive way decreased throughout the phases of the experiment. These findings reveal that we are not emotionally equipped to identify potential threats in the cyber world.

Differential regulation of pruritic sensation and emotion by cannabinoid type 1 receptors on mPFC glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons.

Itch causes a strong urge to scratch and induces negative emotions, such as aversion and anxiety. Antihistamine medications are key in the clinical management of pruritus, but their therapeutic efficacy in controlling moderate and severe itching remains limited. The neural circuits in the brain that process itching and itch-induced aversion and anxiety remain unclear so far. Human brain imaging suggests that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is involved in processing the emotional and motivational components of itching. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms by which glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in mPFC differentially regulated pruritic sensation and emotion through cannabinoid type 1 receptors (CB1Rs). Chloroquinoline (CQ)-induced acute and calcipotriol (MC903)-induced chronic itch models were established. Fiberoptic calcium imaging was used to detect the activity of the two types of neurons in response to itching. The CB1R antagonist AM251 (0.5 mg in 200 nL) was microinjected into the mPFC through the implanted cannula. We showed that chemogenetic activation of glutamatergic neurons and inhibition of GABAergic neurons in the mPFC reduced scratching and chronic itch-induced anxiety. GABAergic, but not glutamatergic, neurons were involved in acute itch-induced aversion. CB1Rs on glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons modulated chronic itch-induced scratching and anxiety in divergent manners. However, CB1Rs did not affect acute itch-induced scratching. CB1Rs on GABAergic, but not glutamatergic, neurons regulated acute itch-induced aversion. These results may guide the development of therapeutic strategies targeting CB1Rs to treat itch-induced sensory and emotional responses.

Is “Arousal,” as a Scientific Concept, Worse than Useless?

This paper discusses (i) the usefulness and (ii) the clarity of the concept of arousal. In discussing its usefulness, I argue that we can explain some key “arousal effects” without relying on the concept of arousal. To do so, I consider the role of the appraisal of affective relevance as a process mainly subserved by the amygdala and explaining emotional effects on attention, memory, and learning. Then, with respect to the clarity of the concept of arousal, I use the componential approach to emotion to suggest that further research may investigate whether the umbrella term “arousal” covers five different concepts (energy, sympathetic nervous system activity, intensity, strength, and salience), each corresponding to a specific component of emotion.
