A framework for evidence-based psychotherapy with AI (EBP-AI).

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems and large language models (LLMs) offer substantial potential to augment or even fundamentally change elements of psychological assessment and treatment. However, current AI technologies have yet to demonstrate the capacity to effect meaningful...

Identifying phenotype-genotype-function coupling in 3D organoid imaging using Shape, Appearance and Motion Phenotype Observation Tool (SPOT)

Abstract Live cells in tissue are plastic, phenotypically dynamic, and modify their function in response to genetic and environmental perturbations. To unleash the power of live-cell imaging to identify phenotype-genotype-function coupling over time, we report the development of...

Analyzing functional data with a mixture of covariance structures using a curve-based sampling scheme

Abstract Motivated by distinct walking patterns in real-world free-living gait data, this paper proposes an innovative curve-based sampling scheme for the analysis of functional data characterized by a mixture of covariance structures. Traditional approaches often fail to adequat...

Gaia’s Promise to Detect Compact-object Binaries: Where We Stand with the Third Data Release

Abstract With its third data release (DR3), Gaia begins unveiling dormant candidate compact object (CO) binaries with luminous companions (LC) as predicted by several past theoretical studies. To date, three black hole (BH), 21 neutron star (NS), and ≈3200 white dwarf (WD) candid...

Strategic evaluation of cycling infrastructure in emerging contexts: a case study of high-capacity corridors in Ljubljana, Slovenia

<title>Abstract</title> This paper presents a cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of proposed high-capacity cycling corridors in the wider Ljubljana area, representing the first such evaluation in Slovenia, where comparable infrastructure has not yet been implemented. The low baseline cy...

Factors associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes among adults with at least a primary vaccination schedule: A retrospective cohort study from Alberta, Canada

Abstract Background With a large proportion of adults in Canada vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, it is important to identify who remain at risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes after primary vaccination/additional (booster) doses. Methods Adults (≥18 years) who received at least a prim...

Assessing climate change-related health hazards: An interactive tool for regional risk analysis in Germany

An interactive online health risk assessment has been created to visualize the health risks associated with climate change at the district level (NUTS3) across Germany. The tool provides a comprehensive assessment by depicting both the current risk patterns and projected conditio...

Optimal placement of viscous dampers in high-rise buildings using the target-oriented krill herd algorithm with a dynamic search mechanism

Optimal placement of viscous dampers is essential for enhancing the seismic performance of high-rise buildings. In this study, we propose a target-oriented krill herd algorithm with a dynamic search mechanism (DTOKH) to optimize the placement of viscous dampers in high-rise build...

Globalization and Market Power

ABSTRACT We use a large episode of trade liberalization in Spain to test a rich set of channels linking trade and markups. The effect of reductions in import tariffs on firm‐level and aggregate markups is pro‐competitive, but there are offsetting effects via other channels. We sh...

Integrated metabolomics data analysis to generate mechanistic hypotheses with MetaProViz

ABSTRACT With the growing number of metabolomics and lipidomics studies, robust strategies for bioinformatic analyses are increasingly important. However, the absence of standardized and reproducible workflows, coupled with ambiguous metabolite annotations, hampers effective anal...

Sobre as perspectivas teórico-metodológicas da Agroecologia

This paper is a detailed characterization of the process of participatory research that develops the Agroecology. In this process, a dynamic generation of reflexivity is created, through methods and techniques employed in three different phases. In the first one (Ecological and P...

Mobilização social e ação coletiva no Semiárido Brasileiro: convivência, agroecologia e sustentabilidade

This text seeks to reflect on the trajectory of social mobilization for the construction of the notion of coexistence with the semi-arid, from the decade of 1990. The coexistence of the human being with his environment is an essential dimension of Agroecology, having as perspecti...

Politizando el consumo alimentario: estrategias para avanzar en la transición agroecológica/ Politicizing Food Consumption: Strategies for Advancing in Agroecological Transition

The starting point of this paper is the unfeasibility situation of the industrialized agriculture model and the dominant agro-food regime. Building a sustainable alternative is urgently needed. In the last decades, a great number of agroecological experiences have emerged which c...

Europium Doped Atomically Precise Bismuth Oxido Nanoclusters as Molecular Building Blocks for Photoluminescent Hybrid Materials

ABSTRACT Structural and optical characterization of Eu 3+ doped atomically precise bismuth oxido nanoclusters (BiO‐NCs) of about 2 nm in size is reported. The BiO‐NC [Bi 38 O 45 (NO 3 ) 24 (dmso) 28 ]:Eu ( C‐1 D :Eu ) is transformed into soluble methacrylate ( − OMc) coordinated...

Advancing phosphorus foliar fertilization with nano-hydroxyapatite: mechanisms and agricultural relevance

<title>Abstract</title> Phosphorus (P) use in agriculture remains inefficient and poses long-term environmental concerns. We investigate the uptake, redistribution, and efficacy of foliar-applied nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) in P-deficient barley (Hordeum vulgare), aiming to clarif...

Defining ‘psychedelic’

Humphry Osmond coined the term ‘psychedelic’ in 1956, conjoining ‘psyche’ for ‘soul’ and ‘delic’ for ‘to manifest’ or ‘illuminate’. Soul-illumination is a compound noun that describes a psychological state or process. Osmond intended for it to be a taxonomic noun—naming, not just...

Disequilibrium between chloroplast proton motive force and ATP levels in Arabidopsis

Abstract Current dogma holds that CO 2 fixation by photosynthesis requires additional ATP production via PGR5-dependent cyclic electron transfer (PGR5-CET) to augment the NADPH and ATP produced by linear electron transfer (LET). Here we use the MgATP 2− fluorescent biosensor ATea...

Structural characteristics and mechanical properties of 2219 aluminum alloy DC A-TIG welding joints

Based on the direct-current active TIG welding（DC A-TIG welding）process of 2219 aluminum alloy, combined with engineering practice, three main parameters of welding current, welding speed, and rotation speed were selected for process testing. The significant changes in microstr...

The Human Experience Framework: Clinical Manual (Version 3.0)

This manual presents the Human Experience Framework (HEF), a neuroscience-grounded classification system for understanding human psychological suffering through the lens of predictive processing, primary affect systems, distributed functional brain networks, and somatic experienc...

Superconductivity from doping symmetric mass generation insulators: application to La3Ni2O7 under pressure

Abstract We investigate the bilayer nickelates as a platform to realize the symmetric mass generation (SMG) insulator, a featureless Mott insulator that arises due to the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) anomaly cancellation in bilayer spin-1/2 lattice systems. Through a single-orbital...
