Questionable prospective associations between mindfulness and mental health problems: A simulated multiverse reanalysis and comment on Ma et al. (2026)
Based on findings in cross-lagged panel network (CLPN) models, Ma et al. concluded prospective effects between indicators of mindfulness and mental health problems. Here, we used multiverse methodology and found discrepant increasing, decreasing, and null effects depending on the used model, and meta-analytic aggregations of these discrepant effects did not differ significantly from zero. Hence, the conclusions by Ma et al. can be challenged. It is important for researchers to bear in mind that correlations, including cross-lagged effects in CLPN models, do not prove causality in order not to overinterpret findings, something that appears to have happened to Ma et al. For increased analytic rigor, we recommend researchers to fit, as we did here, alternative models to data and to juxtapose findings
FTU-SPEC v1.7.1 — Flagship Absolute (Sealed, Verifiable)
# FTU-SPEC — Fadi Tempo Unit (FTU)
**FTU-SPEC v1.7.1 (Flagship Absolute)** is a sealed, machine-verifiable specification that defines the **Fadi Tempo Unit (FTU)** as a reproducible base tick anchored to **Planck time** for audit-friendly **time/tempo normalization** across domains.
This is a **measurement + interoperability convention** (not a claim of new physics).

Center for Integrated Human Studies (CIHS)
The Center for Integrated Human Studies (CIHS) is an independent research platform focused on the systematic study of human behavior, culture, embodiment, sexuality, and social organization through inductive and interpretive methods. CIHS supports research that addresses rare, under-documented, or historically complex phenomena that cannot be adequately examined through hypothesis-driven experimental designs alone.
Research conducted under CIHS is primarily exploratory and data-driven. Inquiry proceeds through sustained engagement with empirical materials, texts, archives, and cultural artifacts. Rather than testing predefined hypotheses, analysis emphasizes inductive and abductive reasoning, allowing analytical propositions and conceptual frameworks to emerge through interaction with the data.
CIHS prioritizes methodological transparency, traceability of interpretation, and archival continuity. The Open Science Framework is used as an organizational and documentation infrastructure to make research processes, materials, and analytic decisions publicly accessible. Unless explicitly stated, projects hosted here should not be interpreted as preregistered, confirmatory, or predictive in the experimental sense
Mapping Concrete Supports and Re-entry in Foster Care: Active vs. Passive Casework Responses to Families Material Hardship
Families involved in the child welfare system frequently experience material hardship, including unmet needs related to housing, utilities, food, transportation, and basic household expenses. Public and practice discourse increasingly emphasizes “concrete supports” and resource-mobilization strategies as mechanisms to stabilize families, support reunification, and reduce the risk of foster care re-entry. However, it remains unclear how caseworkers screen for material hardship, mobilize concrete resources in practice, and what evidence links these practices to re-entry outcomes.
To map the existing empirical and practice-oriented literature on this topic, a scoping review is appropriate, consistent with the objectives outlined by Arksey & O’Malley and expanded by Levac et al. The review will identify how concrete supports are conceptualized, operationalized, and implemented in child welfare settings, as well as summarize the extent of evidence connecting resource-mobilization practices to permanency outcomes

Integrating Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Digital Therapeutic Interventions for Youth Mental Health in the Age of Social Media
Project for preregistration and conduct of a systematic review and planned meta-analysis on digital therapeutic interventions for youth (10–24 years) mental health in the context of social media/digital environments. Led by researchers from the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Indonesia. The review will follow PRISMA-guided procedures, including database searches (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, JSTOR, PsycNET, ProQuest, EBSCOhost), dual independent screening, data extraction, risk of bias appraisal, and narrative synthesis with meta-analysis where feasible. The project also emphasizes equity considerations (Global South representation, marginalized youth) and context-sensitive policy/design recommendations
Elastic Prestress, Time, and Gravitation in the Methane Metauniverse Framework
This article develops a minimal geometric elastic foundation for quantum dynamics Lorentz symmetry and weak decay rates within the Methane Metauniverse framework.
Spacetime is modeled as an elastic lattice whose internal deformation modes generate time mass gravitation and parity violating effects without introducing additional fields or free parameters.
Quantum dynamics emerges from lattice motion and projection while Lorentz symmetry appears as an effective large scale invariance of the elastic structure.
Weak decay rates and chirality are interpreted as consequences of torsional geometry rather than fundamental interactions
