Meta-Analysis of Trauma-Focused Psychological interventions on EEG Markers in PTSD Patients
No full textThis pre-registration outlines a planned systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effects of trauma-focused psychological therapies on electroencephalography (EEG) outcomes in patients diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Rationale:
PTSD is associated with altered brain activity patterns observable through EEG, including hyperarousal-related changes in alpha, theta, and beta frequency bands, as well as disrupted frontal asymmetry linked to emotional dysregulation. Trauma-focused therapies, including Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), standard trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), represent first-line evidence-based treatments for PTSD. However, their shared and distinct neurobiological mechanisms, particularly effects on cortical activity measurable via EEG, remain poorly synthesized. Understanding how trauma-focused therapies influence neural oscillations can inform treatment mechanisms, predict treatment response, and identify potential biomarkers for PTSD recovery.
Objectives:
This meta-analysis aims to: (1) quantify the overall effects of trauma-focused therapies on various EEG markers in PTSD patients, (2) identify which specific EEG parameters show the strongest treatment-related changes, (3) examine potential moderators of treatment effects including therapy type, PTSD severity, trauma type, and intervention duration, and (4) assess publication bias in this literature.
Significance:
By synthesizing existing evidence on trauma-focused therapies' neurophysiological effects, this meta-analysis will provide clinicians and researchers with quantitative estimates of expected neural changes, inform future intervention development, identify whether different therapy modalities produce similar or distinct neural signatures, and highlight gaps in the literature requiring additional primary research. This work bridges clinical psychology and neuroscience perspectives on trauma treatment
COUPLE-BASED INTERVENTIONS ON INTIMACY AMONG CANCER SURVIVORS AND THEIR PARTNERS: A SCOPING REVIEW
No full textIntimacy challenges are common among cancer survivors and their partners, yet they remain under-addressed in survivorship care. Intimacy in the context of cancer extends beyond sexual function and includes emotional closeness, relational adjustment, and physical expressions of affection. Couple-based interventions (CBIs) have been developed to address these multidimensional challenges by engaging both survivors and their partners; however, existing evidence is heterogeneous in terms of intervention components, delivery formats, intimacy domains addressed, and outcome measurements.
The aim of this scoping review maps the existing literature on CBIs for intimacy among cancer survivors and their partners, identifying key intervention components, delivery formats, intimacy assessments, and research gap
TUGAS_Metode perhitungan dalam Kimia Komputasi
No full textComputational chemistry is a branch of chemistry that utilizes principles of mathematics,
physics, and informatics to understand the structure, properties, and reactivity of molecules through
computer simulations. There are three main approaches commonly used, namely molecular mechanics
(MM), semiempirical methods, and quantum mechanics (QM). Molecular mechanics
is based on the laws of classical mechanics, where the total energy of a molecule is calculated from
interatomic interactions using force fields. This method is computationally efficient and well suited
for large systems such as proteins, DNA, or polymeric materials, although it cannot accurately capture
electronic details.
Semiempirical methods represent a hybrid approach that employs quantum mechanical
equations simplified by empirical parameters derived from experimental data. This approach provides
a balance between efficiency and accuracy, and is therefore often applied to medium-sized systems.
Meanwhile, quantum mechanics (QM) calculates molecular properties by directly solving the
Schrödinger equation, using ab initio methods such as Hartree Fock and Density Functional Theory
(DFT) (Nurmalitasari 2012). This approach is more accurate but requires substantial computational
resources, so it is typically applied only to small systems or to important regions of larger systems in
combination with QM/MM methods. Thus, these three approaches complement each other, and their
selection strongly depends on system size, the level of accuracy required, and computational
limitation
Usage Pattern and Associated Factors of Natural Mosquitoes Remedies in Endemic Communities of Borno State, Nigeria
No full textThis study examines the indigenous practices and socio-economic drivers influencing the utilization of natural mosquito repellents in the malaria-endemic communities of Borno State, Nigeria. Amidst the high prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases and the rising costs of synthetic insecticides, many households in this region rely on ethnobotanical remedies such as Neem, Lemongrass, and various aromatic herbs as primary defense mechanisms. This research evaluates specific usage patterns—including the methods of preparation and application—while analyzing how factors such as household income, educational level, cultural beliefs, and geographical proximity to breeding sites dictate these choices. By bridging the gap between traditional knowledge and modern vector control, the study aims to identify sustainable, cost-effective, and culturally acceptable strategies to reduce the burden of mosquito-borne illnesses in North-Eastern Nigeria

No full textTransformasi Pendidikan Melalui Pengabdian Masyarakat Membangun Literasi dan Kreativitas di Sekolah
No full textPendidikan merupakan fondasi utama pembangunan suatu bangsa yang memerlukan pendekatan holistik untuk mengoptimalkan potensi peserta didik. Pengabdian masyarakat dalam konteks pendidikan menjadi jembatan strategis yang menghubungkan dunia akademis dengan realitas sosial, khususnya dalam membangun literasi dan kreativitas di lingkungan sekolah. Artikel ini mengkaji bagaimana program pengabdian masyarakat dapat mentransformasi sistem pendidikan melalui pendekatan inovatif yang mengintegrasikan literasi dan kreativitas sebagai pilar utama pembelajaran. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah kajian literature dan analisis deskriptif terhadap berbagai program pengabdian masyarakat di bidang pendidikan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pengabdian masyarakat memiliki peran vital dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan melalui empat aspek utama: penguatan kapasitas guru, pengembangan media pembelajaran inovatif, pemberdayaan komunitas belajar, dan implementasi teknologi pendidikan. Transformasi ini tidak hanya meningkatkan kemampuan literasi peserta didik tetapi juga mengembangkan kreativitas mereka dalam menghadapi tantangan masa depan. Simpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sinergi antara perguruan tinggi dan sekolah melalui program pengabdian masyarakat mampu menciptakan ekosistem pendidikan yang lebih dinamis dan responsif terhadap kebutuhan zaman.

Gambaran Kesepian pada Emerging Adulthood Pengguna Pasif Media Sosial
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan pengalaman kesepian pada emerging adulthood (usia 18–25 tahun) yang memiliki kecenderungan menggunakan media sosial secara pasif. Emerging adulthood merupakan fase perkembangan yang ditandai oleh perubahan signifikan dalam relasi sosial, sehingga individu pada tahap ini rentan mengalami kesepian. Penggunaan media sosial secara pasif, yang lebih menekankan pada pengamatan dibandingkan interaksi, diduga berkaitan dengan pengalaman kesepian sosial dan emosional. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh gambaran tingkat kesepian pada emerging adulthood pengguna pasif media sosial melalui pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif
Field Charter and Evidence Standard v1.0 (Registered Edition)
No full textField Charter and Evidence Standard for civic architecture. Defines the unit of analysis, admissible evidence, non evidence, status levels, and failure conditions for civic architecture claims. A claim is admissible only when supported by adoption evidence and verification evidence. Verification is mandatory in every cycle and must occur through real use under real constraints.
