    Impact of Test Conditions and Demographic Variables on Response Patterns in the SDI-R 4.0

    No full text
    This study investigates the impact of demographic variables and test conditions on response patterns within the Sexual Dependency Inventory-Revised (SDI-R 4.0), specifically focusing on their predictive value for high inconsistency, high exaggeration, and low underreporting scores. Employing logistic regression analyses on data from 2,212 participants, the findings reveal that pre-test delay time, age, and gender significantly influence these outcomes. These insights underscore the necessity for uniform testing conditions for the SDI-R 4.0 and the incorporation of demographic considerations in the interpretation of this and other sexual dependency assessments. Keywords: Sexual Dependency Inventory, test conditions, demographic factors, test response pattern

    The Connection between Infidelity and PTSD

    No full text
    This literature review addresses infidelity and the current limitations of treatment approaches due to incongruences in definitions and clinical acknowledgment. Infidelity, as a phenomenon, is poorly understood due to varying morals, experiences, religious and cultural influences that alter personal and relational constructs and expectations specific to infidelity. One commonality among those who experience infidelity is the lingering traumatic impact due to the violation of personal and societal convictions observed by the betrayal of trust, loyalty, commitment, self-worth, power imbalances, and religious beliefs. However, current literature and approaches to infidelity fail to address the traumatic impact of discovering infidelity within a relationship. Adjusting the criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to include infidelity betrayal will increase individuals’ resources to reduce traumatic symptomology that accompanies infidelity

    RodCast interaction: A novel technique for dense virtual reality environments

    No full text
    Virtual Reality (VR) technologies continue to grow in popularity and application versatility, yet effective interaction within complex dense environments remains as a critical challenge. In particular, users with low level of VR experience often face decreased accuracy and dissatisfaction selecting occluded objects. A variety of interaction techniques to select and manipulate objects exist, but there is a research gap in understanding what kinds of techniques support users in dense environments. This study evaluates the user performance and preference in such environments. Three interaction techniques are examined in this study: Go-Go Hand, Flower Cone, and a proposed technique called RodCast Interaction. RodCast Interaction introduces an arc-based gesture-controlled technique to enhance object selection by previewing the interaction path. A within-subjects user study was conducted using a commodity VR headset and a simple virtual environment, where participants completed occluded object selection tasks with four standardized target distances and three defined density levels. Performance was assessed through accuracy and time. Although the Go-Go Hand and Flower Cone techniques outperformed RodCast in the overall results, certain findings suggest that RodCast may offer enhanced user experiences in larger environments or for users with greater experience. Overall, this study utilizes a user study to identify design considerations for interaction techniques in VR, with an emphasis on usability and effectiveness in high-occlusion scenarios

    Analysis of MCT-1 Expression in Mouse Neural Retina in Response to Chronic Inflammation

    No full text
    Chronic inflammation is a current public health concern as it is linked to the etiology and symptoms of numerous diseases, for example diabetic retinopathy (DR). In the case of DR, inflammation leads to dysregulation of the blood retina barrier causing retinal hemorrhage and macular edema leading ultimately to irreversible vision loss. MCT-1 is critical for the survival of photoreceptor cells because MCT-1 forms protein complexes with Basigin, a cell-cell adhesion protein, that enables Müller glial cells to efficiently provide lactate as a high energy fuel source. Previous studies have shown chronic inflammation reduces Basigin expression in the retina and that MCT-1 relies on Basigin to attain proper position in the cell membrane. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate MCT-1 expression in response to chronic inflammation within the retina. Mouse retinas harvested at post-natal days 7 and 30 were incubated in culturing medium containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 μg/mL), a known inflammatory agent, or the same volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for 24 hours to mimic chronic inflammation. Concentrations of MCT-1 were then quantified by ELISA. No significant difference in MCT-1 protein expression was observed between the LPS- and PBS-treated samples at either age. This suggests that chronic inflammation does not affect MCT-1 protein expression within the retinal environment at neonatal and adolescent age groups, however, future investigations with older mice may produce different results
