No full textFundamental Dimensions of Real-Time Word Recognition in Challenging Listening Conditions Exhibit Within-Subject Stability and Link to Outcomes
No full textListeners of all ages and hearing abilities must contend with the fact that speech is often heard in challenging conditions. Research has found that the process of spoken word recognition changes in these contexts, but what these changes represent and whether they have meaningful effects on outcomes was unknown. Here, we build on recent work by applying a principal component analysis approach to eye-tracking data to show that these changes reflect a set of underlying dimensions that are shared across two types of challenging listening (noise and vocoding). Moreover, we show that individual listener’s use of each dimension is largely consistent across challenge types and is predicted by domain-general factors. Finally, we show that changes to word recognition offer indirect benefits to performance in challenging conditions, but only for some listeners
Comparing the psychological wellbeing of working and non-working mothers
No full textI will compare psychological wellbeing of working and non-working mothers in New Zealand. Specifically i will examine whether these groups differ in their levels of happiness and life satisfaction.
Following the analysis of the data from New Zealand, the study was expanded to include the data from Pakistan; the assumptions and procedures remain the same
Residential Segregation in Japan: Ethnic Stratification in a Global New Destination
No full textThis study investigates the dynamics and factors affecting immigrant residential segregation in Japan between 2000 and 2020, a period marked by Japan's emergence as a global immigrant destination. Using restricted-access census microdata, I examined the segregation of the 12 largest immigrant groups to the Japanese majority and among each other. I then assessed the relationship between dissimilarity and factors affecting integration using pooled linear regressions and individual location attainment models. My findings reveal that all immigrant groups exhibit high residential segregation from the Japanese majority and notable pairwise segregation. There is a general trend of spatial assimilation that higher levels of socioeconomic factors predict less segregation, while Brazilians and Peruvians, the earliest contemporary immigrant group who arrived in Japan as ethnic descendants, demonstrate a pronounced tendency towards place stratification. These observations provide support for both spatial assimilation and place stratification theory in the Japanese context. Moreover, there is a strong trend of self-segregation among highly skilled elite, particularly Western immigrants from the Japanese majority and peer immigrants. The results provide support for this dichotomy in segregation trends, underlining the integration challenges for minority groups in global new destinations and the pronounced self-segregation among elite skilled minorities
Development of Powerly, unguided science-based mobile app intervention preventing postpartum depression and anxiety & study protocol of real-life implementation randomized clinical trial.
No full textBackground
Up to 30% of pregnant individuals experience high levels of stress. At the same time, 15-20% of new mothers develop postpartum depression, and 25-35% experience postpartum anxiety. Mobile applications have the potential to provide an accessible, scalable solution to these mental health challenges. However, previous evidence indicates that none of the commercially available apps for perinatal depression and anxiety have been rigorously evaluated through randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and the quality of these apps remains moderate. In response to this gap, we aim to develop and empirically evaluate Powerly, a science-based mobile app intervention designed to prevent postpartum depression and anxiety.
Methods
We will conduct a two-arm RCT with 140 healthy pregnant participants to assess the impact of Powerly use compared to care as usual (CAU). Powerly is based on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and developed in consultation with stakeholders, including healthcare professionals and pregnant individuals. It will offer personalized psychological support tailored to users' needs for four weeks. Self-reported mental health assessments will be collected at baseline, after four weeks of app use, and six weeks postpartum.
Discussion
We anticipate that participants using Powerly will demonstrate significant improvements in mental health outcomes, including reduced rates of postpartum depression, compared to the CAU group. Additionally, we expect positive changes in emotion regulation, resilience, and mother and child outcomes, such as enhanced maternal bonding and a more positive birth experience. If proved effective, Powerly can offer a scalable, publicly accessible solution for pregnant individuals in need
A diverse addition to solutions of the "Hard" Problem of Consciousness
No full textA study on Consciousness that builds on and rejects past theories, the original text (document) has been edited to such an extent as the time I do have would permit me, and so I have written the conclusions sans specific evidences that are otherwise found in works cited or explicated in the document. This approach is set upon the perspective of a philosopher of the mind. The Conclusions are long-winded, written in a series of aphorisms that I make reference to as "dot-points" and it is unorthodox to include them here, but here they are (some ideas have been introduced in post, as part of what would have been an edit):
This solution of the Easy Problem introduces the notion of passive information whereby the “image”, which is held as the first instance of any human form of apprehension: the sensibility of what one can be sensible to; from this “image” the passivity is first derived on account of the innateness that the sensibility is only registered in the context of oneself, the first origin of Consciousness is made through a space where neither Consciousness nor Unconsciousness can be assumed. The image is, perhaps conveniently, a truly all-encompassing aspect of human experience rather than a singular – maybe repetitive/recurring – action/memory.
The central result and contingency is that conscious acts: as expressed in phenomenal consciousness where one should allow for awareness of the self; the idea alone that one is self-aware is produced in a manner akin to any other thoughtful production, and it is re-used. It is placed in a synthetic unity with other such products of thought (and the recollection is included as well) when it is re-called. Consciousness is no “state-of-mind”, it is different than to be as pervasive as is a Jungian archetype, but rather it is made in tandem with already produced modes.
It is also such that IIT, where the information is productive of a Consciousness is a neat idea because it precludes the same neurological necessity for the synthetic unity that the mind uses.
Consciousness as we understand it is an illusory position because no institution of real, revelative thought does commonly occur to the mind outside of its origin; the ideal of the “happy accident” that has made Consciousness is true; human innateness to the idea of the uberplatz (explored in the following dot-point) is one of many composite forms; because we have supposed that Consciousness is apparent as an exclusive form, the human superiority should not be qualified as Consciousness alone, but rather one of a set derivative upon the innateness function that retains a more grounded origin in the form of its worldly origin.
The uberplatz (“set derivative upon the Innateness function”) is related to the human case for conceivability and the phenomenal consciousness; humans are celebrated for being individual ideas in themselves, not ideas rendered on the apprehension of common patterns that may be quite easily replicated, but rather on two partial identities where conception is performed: the pattern-like form whereby the manifold is accessed for related ideas (and to construct the convergence towards related ideas that are of a similar construction to the solution) and a basis outside of the predicate of the manifold, but into a nothingness where the same capacity for logic is preserved, but where the manifold used in reference to question of its origin and therefore results in a partition of varying size on account if how much the nothingness becomes apparent.
In the case that humans are separated from animals on account of our ability to “plan and anticipate the future” (this dot-point account does not address concept, but rather it substantiates the point), we realize the future again as an á priori idea, and indeed the perception of time is contained in the innateness function – hence, in our Conscious will, it becomes a member of the manifold of ideas that may thence be manipulated
