Slice‐Wise Quality Assessment of High b Value Breast DWI via Deep Learning‐Based Artifact Detection

BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can support lesion detection and characterization in breast MRI. Therefore, DWI is increasingly being incorporated into breast MRI protocols to address some of the shortcomings of routine clinical breast MRI. However, especially high b...

From generic to salutogenic urbanism: Evidence of the landmark paradox and the role of biodiversity and walkability in mental health

Public place walkability is central to health-oriented urban planning. Facing a global polycrisis (climate, mental health, physical activity, and biodiversity challenges) salutogenic environmental research is crucial for cross-sector recommendations. Yet, evidence integrating psy...

Camouflaging and self-esteem in neurodivergent women: A cross-sectional comparison across autism, ADHD, and dual diagnosis

Background Camouflaging of neurodivergent traits is increasingly recognized as a strategy used by women with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), yet comparative evidence across diagnostic groups remains limited. Objectives This stud...

The suprema of selector processes with the application to positive infinitely divisible processes

We provide an alternative proof of the recent result of Park and Pham [Ann. of Math. 199 (2024)] on the expected suprema of positive selector and empirical processes, which we find useful in further generalizations we discuss. As an application, we obtain a result concerning posi...

International variation in neuropsychological test use practices: Implications for test adaptation and fair assessment

Neuropsychological test selection varies substantially across countries and languages, yet which instruments clinicians use internationally remains poorly documented. Using a survey of International Neuropsychological Society members (INSConnect, 2023), we examined instrument end...

The Ideological Boundary of Belief Change

ABSTRACT This article investigates the relationship between political ideology and the extent to which individuals revise their beliefs when confronted with counter‐attitudinal information. Across two preregistered experiments conducted with demographically quota‐matched Polish s...

Olfactory Threshold Can Be Reliably Tested With Sniffin' Sticks in Non‐Clinical Settings: Associations Shown in a Diverse, General Population

ABSTRACT Objective The olfactory threshold part of the Sniffin' Sticks test is widely used to assess chemosensory function, yet most studies are conducted in controlled laboratory or clinical environments with selective samples. This study examined odour threshold performance wit...

Inferential learning explains association between self-relevance cues and overlap in chimpanzee visual bodily gesture repertoires

We investigated whether the association of self-relevance cues with overlap in visual bodily gestures is better explained by inferential learning or experience-based reinforcement of gesture–outcome contingencies. Inferential accounts predict that self-relevance cues facilitate c...

Olfactory Training and Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults: A Randomized Placebo‐Controlled Trial With Exploratory Evidence in Moderate Depression

ABSTRACT The risk of developing depressive symptoms increases with age. The following study aimed to verify if olfactory training may relieve symptoms of depression in the older population. Older participants ( N = 101, M age = 72.6, SD = 5.44, 88% women) participated in this stu...

How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies

Norms are fundamental to social life, but basic questions about how they are affected by social context remain. Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data fro...

Egorov-type semiclassical limits for open quantum systems with a bi-Lindblad structure

This paper develops a bridge between bi-Hamiltonian structures of Poisson–Lie type, contact Hamiltonian dynamics, and the Gorini–Kossakowski–Sudarshan–Lindblad (GKSL) formalism for open quantum systems. On the classical side, we consider bi-Hamiltonian systems defined by a Poisso...

Death Anxiety in the Association Between Exposure-Related Burden of Patient Death and Occupational Burnout Among Healthcare Professionals: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background/Objectives: Occupational burnout remains a major concern among healthcare professionals and is closely linked to chronic workplace stress. Exposure to patient death may represent a death-related psychosocial occupational burden that is emotionally and existentially dem...
