Humanizing neuropsychological assessment: The role of empathy

Context Recent research and the majority of neuropsychological testing manuals emphasize the importance of establishing a proper relationship between the evaluator and the evaluatee. However, there is relatively little empirical research on this point. Objectives The objective of this study was to operationalize empathy in the evaluator/evaluatee relationship during neuropsychological assessment. The subsequent aim was to determine the impact of this empathy on the evaluator/evaluatee relationship and cognitive performance. Methods The participants, designated as “evaluatees”, were randomly assigned to complete a brief neuropsychological test in either an empathic (N = 47) or neutral condition (N = 47). The neuropsychological tests included the Stroop task from the GREFEX battery, the Letter-Number Sequencing from the WAIS-IV, and the d2 test of attention. Following the tests, participants completed scales indicating perceived relationship with the evaluator, lived experience of the test, and sociodemographic information. Results The manipulation check indicated that it was possible to manipulate empathy. Evaluators demonstrating empathy led to a better evaluator/evaluatee relationship. However, the results regarding cognitive performance were less consistent. Conclusions In conclusion, there is a need for improvement in clinical neuropsychological practice with regard to relational competencies during testing. This study proposes benchmarks to make the evaluator’s empathy perceptible. This technique has not been shown to have a consistent effect on cognitive performance.

Assessment of imposter syndrome among postgraduate residents using Clance imposter phenomenon scale: a multicentric, cross-sectional study.

Imposter syndrome develops when high-achieving individuals, despite external measurements of achievement, have a chronic sense of self-doubt paired with a fear of being exposed as a hoax. This endangers one's mental health and well-being. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and severity of imposter syndrome among postgraduate residents and to identify the risk factors associated with imposter syndrome. This is a cross-sectional study conducted among the postgraduate trainees working in four different training hospitals in Pakistan. Imposter syndrome was assessed using the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale. A total of 146 postgraduate residents participated in this study. The majority had significant imposter syndrome, with females more suffered than males. Trainees of the pediatrics department were affected the most while of the dentistry were least to be affected. Multiple factors including marital status, number of children, working hours, extracurricular activities, and private practice have been shown to affect the prevalence of imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is a prevalent phenomenon among the residents of Pakistan. Efforts to identify and establish a proper relationship between general demographics and imposter syndrome are required for the healthy work experience of the trainees.

The Impropriety of Pirates

There are few pirates in the Latin American cultural tradition even though piracy was a fundamental force shaping the trajectory of the colonial and post-colonial Americas. This essay traces the seeming impropriety of piracy in relation to a genealogy in which pirates are themselves figure of the improper, conduits for improper wars and markers of struggles over the proper relationship to property. Readings of a few key texts – Machado de Assis’ “Canção de Piratas” (1894), J. L. Borges’ “La viuda Ching, pirata” (1935), Alejo Moguillansky’s film El escarabajo de oro (2014), and Nuruddin Farrah’s Crossbones (2011) – take the textualizations of piracy as reflections on the carrying capacity of form.

Machining Data Selection by Using a Fuzzy Logic Model

The fuzzy model has been developed for machining parameter selection. The correlation between the hardness of the work-piece and cutting velocity is not exact, but a proper relationship can be established by using a developed model. The fuzzy model was applied to machining data for carbon steel (wrought) that are collected from the ASM handbook, and a proper relationship between handbook data and predicted data by the fuzzy application was obtained. The model was developed by considering input hardness and output speed. A linear fuzzy equation has been proposed to represent the machining data with good correlation. The aim of the present work is to develop a fuzzy logic model to enable the computerization process of machining data that is available in the machining data handbook. As a result, a fuzzy logic-based expert system for machining data selection can be created.

A detailed process about the open tray impression technique and registering the interocclusal relationship for implant- supported partial denture has been described in this case report.

EFFECTIVE AND INEFFECTIVE WAYS USED BY PARENTS TO DEVELOP A RATIONAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS ELECTRONIC MEDIA IN THEIR CHILDREN – RESEARCH RESULTS

ABSTRACT: Aim: The purpose of this article is to present and evaluate the ways used by parents to form a rational attitude towards electronic media in their children. Not all actions of this type described in the literature or taken by parents turn out to be effective, applicable, and some are even harmful. The interested parties – children and adolescents have (and should have) an important voice in this matter. Their views on the subject will be taken into account in this study. Methods: In order to achieve the chosen goal, an analysis of the literature was carried out and a survey research was conducted using the questionnaire technique. The group of respondents consisted of young people between the ages of 14 and 25 living in the Opole region. Their statements helped to determine the answer to the question - What are the effective (and ineffective) ways used by parents in terms of forming a rational attitude to electronic media in their children? Results: It was found that not all parents take measures to shape appropriate media behaviour in their children, as indicated by one in five respondents. In light of the mentioned data, the following can be considered effective ways of such measures: proposing non-media, family activities; conversations and discussions based on logical arguments, without excessive moralizing; setting rules and enforcing them consistently. Setting a good example also has positive effects. In addition, young people generally appreciate wise parenting – love, trust, positive attitudes they experience from them, can be much more important than specific ways of influence. According to young people, punishments (bans, taking away children’s devices, etc.) are extremely ineffective, as they lead to rebellion, conflict and breakdown of parent-child ties. Conclusion: In the face of the great expansion of new technologies, parents are now obliged to shape the proper relationship of their children with electronic media. These efforts should lead to the minimization of risks, moreover, they are to make the media environment a potential positive educational factor. To increase effectiveness of such measures, the feelings of young people should be taken into account as they are extremely important for the development of rational ways of influence on the issue discussed here. Originality: The literature on the subject most often presents directives on parental interactions with young people in terms of shaping their appropriate media behaviour in a general way. This article presents the position of young people on this subject, which sheds more light on the effectiveness of the efforts. Keywords: adolescents, electronic media, rational media use, media usage rules, parental influence, parental involvement, opinion of the young.

The synthesis of the Gospel and life as a goal of evangelization

The article presents selected examples of the synthesis of the Gospel and life, which is the goal of contemporary evangelization. In implementing the prophetic purpose, it was emphasized that the proclamation of the Word of God is to illuminate and transform human existence. In implementing the priestly function, the focus was on celebrating the Eucharist, revealing it as a source of human strength and energy, a school of sacramental perception of life and appreciation of matter, as well as a space for forming a new man. In the implementation of the priestly function, however, attention was paid to the presence of the Church in the world and the Christian lifestyle, which is closely related to the promotion of man and the quality of his life. The study emphasizes that the existential orientation of evangelization establishes the proper relationship of the Church with the world. It involves accepting the world, dialogue with it, and transforming it in the spirit of the Gospel.

Az alexandriai zsidóság hatalomhoz való viszonya a Példabeszédek könyve Septuaginta-fordításának tükrében

It is not typical to draw conclusions from a translation regarding an ancient social and political issue. However, I will attempt to do it in this paper: on the basis of one of the most freely translated book of the Septuagint, the Paroimiai (Greek version of the Proverbs), I will try to get an answer to the question of how certain Jewish intellectuals saw the problem of proper relationship to pagan rulers in Alexandria in the second century Bc. As an introduction, I will outline the main events of the Jews’ stay in Egypt from the sixth century Bc to the Ptolemaic Age. Subsequently I will illustrate through some characteristic examples how far the translators went within the Torah if they wanted to update the text. Turning to the Paroimiai, I will show the most important features of the Greek text through some typical examples. Finally, I will present the passages where the attitude towards the king as well as the right behavior in civil life is concerned. One can clearly recognize the tendency that loyal relationship as well as the avoidance of riots or conflicts are even more emphasised in the Greek version. From this point of view, the text of the Paroimiai is unique; no similar tendency can be noticed in any of the Septuagint books, and this is only partly due to content reasons.

Cobalt-Based Nanoscale Material: An Emerging Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Production.

Modern civilization has been highly suffering from energy crisis and environmental pollutions. These two burning issues are directly and indirectly created from fossil fuel consumption and uncontrolled industrialization. The above critical issue can be solved through the proper utilization of green energy sources where no greenhouse gases will be generated upon burning of such materials. Hydrogen is the most eligible candidate for this purpose. Among various methods of hydrogen generation, electrocatalytic process is one of the most efficient methods because of easy handling and high efficiency. In these aspects Co-based nanomaterials are considered to be extremely significant as they can be utilized as efficient, recyclable and ideal catalytic system. In this article a series of Co-based nano-electrocatalysts has been discussed with proper structure-property relationship and their medium dependency. Therefore, such type of stimulating summary on recently reported electrocatalysts and their activity may be helpful for scientists of the corresponding field as well as for broader research communities. This can be inspiration for materials researchers to fabricate active catalysts for the production of hydrogen gas in room temperature.

WYKORZYSTANIE ENERGII WIATRU STREFY PRZYZIEMNEJ W NISKICH OBIEKTACH ZABUDOWY INDYWIDUALNEJ

The issue of obtaining wind energy in individual construction facilities is associated with a change in the scope of design issues undertaken in the case of high and large-scale buildings. This is due to the limited size of the assumptions, the type of wind devices used and the need to maintain their proper relationship to the function and form of the architectural object, and the need to ensure acceptable energy efficiency in turbulent flow conditions. The currently adopted design approaches, treated as patterns and constituting the starting point in the design process, constitute a correct synthesis of the issues undertaken by the designer, but they do not fully exhaust the issues raised. This article presents a study concept of a residential facility located below ground level and equipped with an installation for obtaining wind energy.

Teaching on Jews and Judaism in Selected US Catholic Seminaries

Interviews with the academic deans or their designees at nine leading Catholic theologates in the US disclosed that there was a serious discrepancy between the formation of Catholic priests and the aspirations of the Second Vatican Council and subsequent official ecclesial teachings on the Catholic Church’s proper relationship with Jews and Judaism. Most of the seminaries had no access to Jewish scholars and had no relationship with the local Jewish community. They also failed to provide any guidance to seminarians on the pastoral care of Catholic-Jewish couples and families, even in dioceses with large Jewish populations. The seminaries, for the most part, were not engaged in promoting Catholic-Jewish scholarship, and they appeared to have no systemic programs on antisemitism or the modern State of Israel. Most significantly, the seminaries provided no homiletic instruction to future priests on addressing the anti-Judaic content in the New Testament, especially during Lent and Holy Week.

Natural Will in John of Damascus’ De duabus Christi voluntatibus

Abstract This article focuses on John of Damascus’ treatise De duabus Christi voluntatibus, which seeks to establish the meaning of the concept of the ‘natural will’. John’s argument is dependent on the opuscula of Maximus. Yet he does not always follow Maximus’ lead. He claims that the mode of willing is always related to sin whereas willing of the good is natural. This refers not only to the irreproachable passions, which in Maximus’ Christology are needed to give a positive interpretation of Christ’s fear of death, but also to Christ’s eventual obedience to God. John makes it clear that this also applies to ordinary human beings. Obedience is in their case the free and self-determining decision to subject themselves to God as their natural lord and master. John gives the impression that the knowledge about the proper relationship between God and the human being is as spontaneous as the irreproachable passions.

Social-Demographic Predictors of Sexual Self-concept in Women on the Verge of Marriage: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: A satisfying and proper sexual relationship that meets the needs of both spouses plays a crucial role in the stability and longevity of the family. Sexual self-concept is one of the factors affecting women's sexual behavior and performance and can be changed throughout life. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the status of sexual self-concept and its socio-demographic predictors of women on the verge of marriage. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 130 women referring to premarital counseling centers in Tabriz, Iran. The data collection tool was the questionnaire of personal and social characteristics and Snell's Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire. Pearson's correlation test, one-way analysis of variance, and multivariate linear regression test were used in data analysis with SPSS software version 24. Results: The mean (standard deviation) of the positive sexual self-concept score was 117 (0.20) from the obtainable score of 0 - 176, and the mean (standard deviation) of the negative sexual self-concept score was 16 (0.7) from the obtainable score of 4 - 38. Additionally, the mean (standard deviation) of the sexual self-concept score was 44 (0.9) from the range of the obtainable score of 0 - 72. The results of multivariate analysis with multivariate linear regression test and control of confounding variables showed that the husband’s age, education, and mother's education were the predictors of positive sexual self-concept. Moreover, age, father's education, and duration of previous acquaintance were reported as predictors of negative sexual self-concept, and age was observed as a predictor of situational sexual self-concept. Conclusions: The study's findings indicated that age, education, parents' education, and the duration of acquaintance with the future spouse could predict sexual self-concept in women approaching marriage without sexual abuse. Given that sexual self-concept evolves well before any sexual activity, policymakers can enhance women's sexual self-concept through interventions, such as psychological counseling with a focus on sexual health. This, in turn, can improve their overall well-being, ultimately supporting stable family foundations and successful childbearing in the future.

Machine learning for text document classification-efficient classification approach

<p>Numerous alternative methods for text classification have been created because of the increase in the amount of online text information available. The cosine similarity classifier is the most extensively utilized simple and efficient approach. It improves text classification performance. It is combined with estimated values provided by conventional classifiers such as Multinomial Naive Bayesian (MNB). Consequently, combining the similarity between a test document and a category with the estimated value for the category enhances the performance of the classifier. This approach provides a text document categorization method that is both efficient and effective. In addition, methods for determining the proper relationship between a set of words in a document and its document categorization is also obtained.</p>

Exploring medical students’ perceptions of empathy after cinemeducation based on Vygotsky’s theory

BackgroundMedical students’ empathy toward patients with Alzheimer’s is rarely found in formal medical curricula. Based on Vygotsky’s theory, watching films and reflection can be considered as effective methods to improve empathy. The present study aimed to explore medical students’ perceptions of empathy toward patients with Alzheimer after participating in an educational program by using interactive video based on Vygotsky’s theory.MethodsThis qualitative study was conducted at Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2022. The population included all 40 medical students. Firstly, the Still Alice movie which is about the feelings of a professor who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease was shown to the students. Secondly, the students reflected on their experiences of watching the movie. Thirdly, a session was held for group discussion on the subject of the movie, the patient’s feelings, the doctor’s attitude, the social environment surrounding the patient shown in the movie, and the necessity of empathy toward patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The reflection papers were analyzed using the conventional qualitative content analysis method.ResultsAfter analyzing 216 codes from 38 reflection papers, four categories, including communication with a patient with Alzheimer’s, understanding the patient with Alzheimer’s as a whole, medical science development, and the student’s individual ideology, were extracted.ConclusionReflection and group discussion after watching movie by providing opportunities for social interaction about personal interpretations will lead to active role in enhancing empathy. Based on the perceptions of the medical students, they gained a perspective to consider the patient as a whole and pay attention to establishing a proper relationship with the patient.

The Relationship Between Force Majeure Clauses and the Excuse Defenses

Many commercial contracts include force majeure clauses that excuse the parties from performing some or all of their obligations upon the occurrence of specified supervening events. The law is unclear as to the proper relationship between such clauses and the assertion of common law or statutory excuse defenses such as impossibility, impracticability, or frustration of purpose with regard to supervening events that are outside of the scope of such clauses. In particular, under what circumstances, if any, should a force majeure clause be regarded as preclusive of these excuse defenses with regard to those supervening events that the clause does not cover? In addition, should the determination that a particular supervening event is outside of the scope of a force majeure clause then be relevant for the determination of the merits of a subsequent excuse defense that is based upon that event? The judicial authority on these questions is surprisingly sparse, and I offer some recommendations as to how the courts should address these issues.

Sociological and Psychological Traits of Human Bonding to Reflected in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus

Man is a social animal and depends on others to fulfil his needs. Hence it becomes imperative that he maintains a proper relationship with others. It is indeed true that relationships cannot be created overnight. For building a relationship, one should have qualities like kindness, adaptability, understanding, tolerance, patience, and the like. Maintaining the relationship that is built is yet another challenging task. Since literature is a reflection of human life, many literary works focus on human bonding and the need and importance of maintaining a relationship through the portrayal of various characters. Purple Hibiscus is one such novel written by the African American writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, considered one of the 100 ‘Most Influential People.’ The novel brings out various aspects of human bonding and relationship through the incidents that occur in day-to-day lives. The present paper intends to analyse the struggles faced by the characters involved in different kinds of relationship and their realising the need of connectedness in the novel, Purple Hibiscus.

Prediction of multi-physics field distribution on gas turbine endwall using an optimized surrogate model with various deep learning frames

PurposeTo improve the speed and accuracy of turbine blade film cooling design process, the most advanced deep learning models were introduced into this study to investigate the most suitable define for prediction work. This paper aims to create a generative surrogate model that can be applied on multi-objective optimization problems.Design/methodology/approachThe latest backbone in the field of computer vision (Swin-Transformer, 2021) was introduced and improved as the surrogate function for prediction of the multi-physics field distribution (film cooling effectiveness, pressure, density and velocity). The basic samples were generated by Latin hypercube sampling method and the numerical method adopt for the calculation was validated experimentally at first. The training and testing samples were calculated at experimental conditions. At last, the surrogate model predicted results were verified by experiment in a linear cascade.FindingsThe results indicated that comparing with the Multi-Scale Pix2Pix Model, the Swin-Transformer U-Net model presented higher accuracy and computing speed on the prediction of contour results. The computation time for each step of the Swin-Transformer U-Net model is one-third of the original model, especially in the case of multi-physics field prediction. The correlation index reached more than 99.2% and the first-order error was lower than 0.3% for multi-physics field. The predictions of the data-driven surrogate model are consistent with the predictions of the computational fluid dynamics results, and both are very close to the experimental results. The application of the Swin-Transformer model on enlarging the different structure samples will reduce the cost of numerical calculations as well as experiments.Research limitations/implicationsThe number of U-Net layers and sample scales has a proper relationship according to equation (8). Too many layers of U-Net will lead to unnecessary nonlinear variation, whereas too few layers will lead to insufficient feature extraction. In the case of Swin-Transformer U-Net model, incorrect number of U-Net layer will reduce the prediction accuracy. The multi-scale Pix2Pix model owns higher accuracy in predicting a single physical field, but the calculation speed is too slow. The Swin-Transformer model is fast in prediction and training (nearly three times faster than multi Pix2Pix model), but the predicted contours have more noise. The neural network predicted results and numerical calculations are consistent with the experimental distribution.Originality/valueThis paper creates a generative surrogate model that can be applied on multi-objective optimization problems. The generative adversarial networks using new backbone is chosen to adjust the output from single contour to multi-physics fields, which will generate more results simultaneously than traditional surrogate models and reduce the time-cost. And it is more applicable to multi-objective spatial optimization algorithms. The Swin-Transformer surrogate model is three times faster to computation speed than the Multi Pix2Pix model. In the prediction results of multi-physics fields, the prediction results of the Swin-Transformer model are more accurate.

Twist Phase Matching in Two-Dimensional Materials.

Optical phase matching involves establishing a proper phase relationship between the fundamental excitation and generated waves to enable efficient optical parametric processes. It is typically achieved through birefringence or periodic polarization. Here, we report that the interlayer twist angle in two-dimensional (2D) materials creates a nonlinear geometric phase that can compensate for the phase mismatch, and the vertical assembly of the 2D layers with a proper twist sequence generates a nontrivial "twist-phase-matching" (twist-PM) regime. The twist-PM model provides superior flexibility in the design of optical crystals, which can be applied for twisted layers with either periodic or random thickness distributions. The designed crystal from the twisted rhombohedral boron nitride films within a thickness of only 3.2 μm is capable of producing a second-harmonic generation with conversion efficiency of ∼8% and facile polarization controllability that is absent in conventional crystals. Our methodology establishes a platform for the rational design and atomic manufacturing of nonlinear optical crystals based on abundant 2D materials.
