Autistic interests: wide-ranging and intellectually oriented

Catherine L. Caldwell-Harris

Introduction The interests of autistic individuals have traditionally been described as circumscribed and restricted, serving the functions of self-regulation by reducing prediction error. Historically, this may have seemed reasonable when applied to autistic children and adults with intellectual disability. The current study investigated the restrictiveness and function of focused interests of autistic adults with typical intellectual ability. Methods To hear from autistic adults themselves, bypassing interviewers …

Motivational orientation and practice-scheduling patterns as correlates of self-regulated learning strategies in pre-professional cello students: a predictive-correlational study

Şehriban Koca, Berrin Melisa Altunoluk

Background Self-regulated learning (SRL) theory and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) propose that motivational orientation is statistically linked to the cognitive and metacognitive strategies learners use during independent practice. Prior research on instrumental practice—including earlier descriptive analyses of this population—has relied on concurrent correlational designs that cannot establish predictive ordering or test underlying processes. Aim This predictive-correlational study examined whether a self-repor …

Guochao Zhang, Yingying Zhao, Xiaoxia Chang, Qi Gao, Yunchao Zhang, Yanjun Lai

Objectives Sex- and age-related disparities are independent risk factors for poor COVID-19 outcomes, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 395 hospitalized COVID-19 patients (December 2022–March 2023). Biomarkers of multi-organ injury and immune responses were analyzed to evaluate the impact of sex and age on disease progression and clinical outcomes. Normality was assessed with the Shapiro–Wilk test; Student’s t or Mann–Whitney U tests were used accordingly, wit …

Richard Kimera, Emily Downey, Rogers Mwavu, David Bamutura, Liam McCoy, Jospeh Ngonzi, William Wasswa, Leo Anthony Celi, Fred Kaggwa

Digital health interventions are increasingly used to communicate antenatal, intrapartum, postnatal and newborn-care information in sub-Saharan Africa, but their effects depend on more than message delivery. This narrative review examines what recent evidence shows about the mechanisms, implementation conditions and outcomes of patient-facing and provider-facing digital interventions, with particular attention to rural and semi-rural settings. Peer-reviewed studies and authoritative guidance published from 2000 to …

Building A Quality Ecosystem for Clinical Psychology: Integrating Competence, Ethics, Supervision, and Professional Regulation

Vu Xuan Huong

An important consideration in clinical psychology is that of professional quality. Having appropriate standards is not enough; they must shape both the training of clinical psychologists and the work that they do. Therefore, all of the elements that contribute to the professional quality of clinical psychologists, that is, competence, ethics, supervision, accreditation and regulation, must function together. This critical integrative review sets out to explore the relationships between these elements. A record-veri …

Intimate Partner Violence, Anxiety, and Academic Performance in College Students

Paige Stancliff

This study examined how intimate partner violence (IPV) relates to anxiety and academic performance in college students. Included were 97 Penn State Behrend respondents obtained through convenience sampling and surveyed on validated measures of IPV, anxiety, and academic functioning. Researchers predicted that: (1) higher IPV would correlate with higher anxiety and lower performance; (2) moderate and high IPV groups would show higher anxiety and lower GPAs than low IPV groups; (3) higher anxiety would relate to low …

Protecting Public Health and Biodiversity from Electromagnetic Exposure Through Spatiotemporal Management of Emissions in Connected Social Spaces

Adel Razek

Modern technologies using electromagnetic fields (EMF) present both anticipated benefits and undesirable side effects related to exposure. These effects may pose potential health risks to humans and environmental biodiversity under specific exposure conditions. Diverse public spaces where people work, play, do business, attend school, or receive healthcare each possess their own unique biodiversity. The functioning of these spaces requires internet connections via antennas, which are themselves linked to management …

Mendelian randomisation and colocalisation reveal pleiotropic effects of the CD40/SLC12A5 locus on CD40 protein, depression, and immune disease

Rachel Laattoe, Elina Hyppönen, David Stacey, Sarah Cohen-Woods

Abstract Inflammatory pathways are implicated in depression, but the specific immune proteins and causal variants involved remain unclear. We tested potential causal relationships between 91 immune-related plasma proteins and depression using Generalised Summary-data-based Mendelian Randomisation (GSMR). We identified an association between CD40 protein levels and depression (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.94–0.97, p = 1.71 × 10 −11 ), explained largely by variants located near the CD40 gene. Follow-up colocalisation analyses …
