At the frontiers between penal and psy discourses: judicial constructions of the mentally dis/ordered defendant in Hong Kong sentencing judgments by Chiu, TCU

“…While existing literature on the compulsory mental health regime in Hong Kong has found judges to defer, with little critical scrutiny, to medical professional opinion in finding mental incapacity and disorder, this thesis is the first to explore whether this judicial reliance on the clinical gaze extends to decision-making about sentencing in criminal law.…”

Lasting dynamic effects of the psychedelic 2,5-dimethoxy-4- iodoamphetamine ((±)-DOI) on cognitive flexibility by Sabanovic, M, Lazari, A, Blanco Pozo, M, Tisca, C, Tachrount, M, Martins Bach, A, Lerch, J, Walton, M, Bannerman, D

“…. (±)-DOI’s facilitation of both cognitive adaptation and novel thinking strategies may contribute to the clinical benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy, particularly in cases of perseverative behaviours and a resistance to change seen in depression, anxiety, or addiction. Furthermore, our findings highlight the crucial role of time-dependent neuroplasticity and the influence of experiential factors in shaping the therapeutic potential of psychedelic interventions for impaired cognitive flexibility.…”

Human nature, after all: affective realism in Russian foreign policy by Edinger, H

“…Around 2007, the quality and intensity of their affective disposition towards the West shifted from resentment to contempt, favouring yet more assertive policies. The thesis also finds that concerns regarding analysts’ inability to distinguish between genuine and instrumental displays of affect might be overstated. …”

Elevated basophil count is associated with increased risk of endometriosis by Feng, Q, Shigesi, N, Guan, J, Rahmioglu, N, Bafadhel, M, Paddon, K, Hubbard, C, Zondervan, K, Becker, C, Hellner, K

“…None of the other leukocyte subtypes showed an association. Our findings suggest an association between inflammatory responses and the pathogenesis of endometriosis; future studies are warranted to investigate whether the association is causal.…”

Elucidating the non-apoptotic role of the caspases in the Drosophila intestinal system by Arthurton, L

“…Collectively, this data provides novels insights into the caspase-dependent but non-apoptotic regulation of the intestinal system in non-regenerative conditions. Furthermore, these findings could explain the correlation between caspase-9 misexpression and the bad prognosis observed in patients suffering from colon cancer. …”

Comparison of INTERGROWTH- 21st and Fenton growth standards to assess size at birth and at discharge in preterm infants in the United Arab Emirates by Cheikh Ismail, L, Mohamad, MN, Ohuma, EO, ElHalik, MS, Dash, SK, Osaili, TM, Hasan, H, Hashim, M, Saleh, ST, Daour, RA, Parker, SR, Ali, HI, Stojanovska, L, Al Dhaheri, AS

“…The rates of SGA, AGA, and LGA at birth were 11.5%, 80.42%, and 9.08% using INTERGROWTH-21st growth charts compared to 9.5%, 83.2%, and 7.3% respectively according to Fenton charts. The findings indicated statistically significant differences between the two growth charts classifying of preterm infants based on weight, length, and head circumference (p < 0.05). …”

Surface plasmon-mediated photoluminescence boost in graphene-covered CsPbBr3 quantum dots by Park, Y, Oleiki, E, Ying, G, Jana, A, Alanazi, M, Osokin, V, Cho, S, Taylor, RA, Lee, G

“…The momentum mismatch between graphene plasmons and free-space photons is resolved through plasmon scattering at Gr/CsPbBr₃&nbsp;interface corrugations, facilitating the observed super-bright emission. These findings highlight the critical role of graphene as a top contact in dramatically enhancing CsPbBr₃&nbsp;QDs&rsquo; PL. …”

Autoimmune encephalitis by Irani, SR

“…In turn, these clinical features in combination with serologic findings and selective paraclinical testing, direct the rationale for the administration of immunotherapies. …”

Multidecadal Morphodynamic evolution of shorelines and coral reefs along the Arabian Sea Coast of Oman: Bar Al Hikman Peninsula by Teillet, T, Bois, P, Homewood, P, Mettraux, M, Samimi-Namin, K, Vahrenkamp, V

“…By combining sedimentological fieldwork with photo-interpretations of satellite images spanning 50 years, this study documents significant coastal geomorphological changes. The findings reveal a dramatic 60% reduction in the surface area of Bar Al Hikman’s main coral reefs. …”

Online arts and culture for mental health in young people: a qualitative interview study by Syed Sheriff, R, Bergin, L, Bonsaver, L, Riga, E, O'Dell, B, Adams, H, Glogowska, M

“…<p><strong> Conclusions </strong></p>This study demonstrates that young people have a critical level of insight and understanding regarding their mental health and ways in which it might be improved. These findings can be used to optimise the mental health benefits of OAC in an engaging and acceptable way for young people. …”

The association between the proportion of Brexiters and COVID-19 death rates in England by Phalippou, L, Wu, B

Cortical neurophysiology of ALS by Proudfoot, M

“…</p> <p>In conclusion, the results demonstrated considerable support for proposed excitotoxic disease mechanisms and were in alignment with reported findings in other neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, a pilot study by which the neural mechanisms for cognitive impairment in ALS are explored via antisaccade performance is described. …”

Energy waste: the challenge of decarbonising office buildings by Suliman, A, Wheeler, S, Topouzi, M, Lizana, J

“…These gaps are divided into three interventional areas: occupancy, thermal comfort, and building characteristics. The findings also demonstrate the opportunity to mitigate energy waste by integrating a better understanding of the occupancy patterns in spaces (1), real-time thermal comfort satisfaction of occupants (2), and the combination of lower centralised thermal requirements with individual environmental control systems (3). …”

Genetic, natal, and spatial drivers of social phenotypes in wild great tits by Satarkar, D, Sepil, I, Sheldon, BC

“…Centrality showed heritability up to 10% in one of 3&thinsp;years sampled, whereas betweenness showed none, indicating modest genetic variation in individual sociability, but not group-switching tendencies. These findings suggest a small, albeit detectable, genetic basis for individual sociality but pronounced spatial effects.…”

Diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care lung ultrasound for community-acquired pneumonia in children in ambulatory settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Hughes-Davies, H, Ukwatte, U, Roberts, N, Turner, PJ, Hayward, GN, Fanshawe, TR, Bird, C

The majority of included studies lacked clarity on training for the index test with potential bias around flow and timing of testing. …”

PRMT5 controls the innate immune response by Zhang, C

“…Although additional experiments are required to precisely identify the dsRNA-producing intronic regions, our results support the role of the PRMT5-E2F1 axis in modulating immune responses through the regulation of RNA splicing. The findings suggest that inhibiting PRMT5 may enhance the IFN response in cancer cells, potentially improving the efficacy of existing immunotherapies.…”
