Discrepancies in Adverse Event Reporting: An Observational Study from ClinicalTrials.gov and Publications
No full textA Psychosocial Perspective on Determinants of Violence in Youth Sport: A Multi-Level Scoping Review
No full textABSTRACT
Violence in youth sport is a pervasive issue with significant negative consequences for young athletes’ health, well-being, and continued sport participation. Although research has increased over recent decades, underlying mechanisms remain only partially understood. This scoping review critically synthesizes the existing literature using Doise’s (1982) multi-level analysis framework, examining how individual, interactional, and structural factors shape violence in youth sport contexts. Following PRISMA guidelines, 492 articles were screened and 65 peer-reviewed studies were included. Results show that most research focuses on individual, inter-individual and structural levels, while interactional mechanisms and systemic approaches — which are essential to understanding how violence arises and persists within sport settings — remain largely overlooked. This conceptual gap has important implications for the design and implementation of effective prevention and intervention strategies. We argue for the adoption of complementary theoretical approaches that better capture the dynamic interactions between athletes, coaches, peers, and sport organizations. By mapping these determinants and highlighting neglected areas, this review provides a critical foundation for advancing theory and guiding applied efforts to reduce violence and promote safer, healthier youth sport environments. These insights can inform all sports stakeholders and researchers seeking to develop evidence-based strategies to identify risk factors, address root causes, and foster protective environments

Emerging roots: Investigating early access to meaning in Maltese auditory word recognition
No full textIn Semitic languages, the consonantal root is central to morphology, linking form and meaning. While psycholinguistic studies highlight its importance in language processing, the role of meaning in early lexical access and its representation remain unclear. This study investigates when meaning becomes accessible during the processing of Maltese verb forms, using a computational model based on the Discriminative Lexicon framework. Our model effectively comprehends and produces Maltese verbs, while also predicting response times in a masked auditory priming experiment. Results show that meaning is accessible early in lexical access and becomes more prominent after the target word is fully processed. This suggests that semantic information plays a critical role from the initial stages of lexical access, refining our understanding of real-time language comprehension. Our findings contribute to theories of lexical access and offer valuable insights for designing priming studies in psycholinguistics. Additionally, this study demonstrates the potential of computational models in investigating the relationship between form and meaning in language processing
Management and care of first episode psychosis in rural settings: A scoping review.
No full textOverall, there is limited research examining the psychiatric care and treatment of the first episode psychosis populations in rural settings in Canada. Additionally, there is limited research focusing on early psychosis intervention use by people with first episode psychosis in rural communities.
In this scoping review, we aim to examine current literature on the management of first episode psychosis in rural communities
Long-term memory for voices frees up cognitive resources and enhances speech perception in noise
No full textWhen masked by competing speech, utterances are more intelligible when spoken by a familiar voice than by a novel one. If familiar voices are less cognitively demanding to perceive, a concurrent task, which consumes resources, should disrupt perception of speech less if the attended voice is familiar. Furthermore, if the intelligibility benefit occurs because listening to a familiar voice is less cognitively demanding, then the concurrent task should reduce the familiar voice benefit. Participants (N=30) heard two concurrent closed-set sentences in two different voices (familiar-novel or novel-novel) and reported the content of one (target) while ignoring the other (masker). Simultaneously, participants tracked the location of four moving dots on a screen (multiple object tracking, dual task) or ignored the visual input (single task). Word report was highest when the target voice was familiar, lowest when the masker voice was familiar, and intermediate when both voices were novel. Concurrent MOT performance reduced intelligibility of the novel, more than the familiar, voice, but did not reduce the magnitude of the benefit, suggesting that familiar voices require fewer cognitive resources to process than unfamiliar ones but that this reduction may not directly facilitate the familiar-voice benefit
Low-level alcohol consumption in children is linked to neural substrates involved in reward processing and inhibitory control: Results from a brain-wide association study
No full textInvestigating the success of an app-led weight loss program
No full textThis nutritional-physiological study is a nationwide, single-arm pre–post intervention trial evaluating the effectiveness of an app-guided weight-loss programme with personalised nutrition plans for adults with overweight (BMI 25–35 kg/m²).
The 12-week programme delivers individually tailored meal plans, educational content, and behavioural feedback via the Upfit app.
The study design was adapted to the characteristics of the target group—motivated adults seeking flexible, digital lifestyle support. Therefore, the originally planned waiting-list control group and in-person laboratory assessments (e.g., bioelectrical-impedance analysis) were omitted to reduce barriers, improve ecological validity, and better reflect real-world usage.
Data are collected remotely through self-reported measures, including body weight, dietary patterns, mindful eating, physical activity, and general health.
The primary objective is to assess within-participant changes in weight, diet quality, and mindful eating from baseline to week 12, providing pragmatic evidence for the everyday effectiveness of digital nutrition-coaching interventions
