Handbook of Lifespan Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, adulthood, and aging
No full textMental illness and the variety of conditions, disorders, and phobias associated with it impact not only the individual but also the family unit, the community, and society at large. Handbook of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by Disorder: Case Studies and Application for Adults will better readers’ understanding of a variety of these conditions in adults specifically and the applicability of CBT therapy as a treatment. Featuring chapters on schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dysmorphia, depression, and anxiety, the book discusses in detail the use of cognitive behavioral therapies in the treatment of these issues in adults. With expert authors from the clinical field, the book has applicability for behavioral scientists, psychologists, cognitive and behavioral neuroscientists, and anyone working to better understand and treat using cognitive behavioral therapies

Myths about myths? a commentary on Thomas (2020) and the question of jury rape myth acceptance.
Get PDFThis commentary responds to claims that research by Cheryl Thomas ‘shows’ no problem with rape myths in English and Welsh juries. We critique the claim on the basis of ambiguous survey design, a false distinction between ‘real’ jurors and other research participants, the conflation of attitudes in relation to abstract versus applied rape myths, and misleading interpretation of the data. Ultimately, we call for a balanced appraisal of individual studies by contextualising them against the wider literature
Use of parsing heuristics in the comprehension of passive sentences: evidence from Dyslexia and Individual Differences
Get PDFThis study examined the comprehension of passive sentences in order to investigate whether individuals with dyslexia rely on parsing heuristics in language comprehension to a greater extent than non-dyslexic readers. One hundred adults (50 dyslexics and 50 controls) read active and passive sentences, and we also manipulated semantic plausibility. Eye movements were monitored, while participants read each sentence, and afterwards, participants answered a comprehension question. We also assessed verbal intelligence and working memory in all participants. Results showed dyslexia status interacted with sentence structure and plausibility, such that participants with dyslexia showed significantly more comprehension errors with passive and implausible sentence. With respect to verbal intelligence and working memory, we found that individuals with lower verbal intelligence were overall more likely to make comprehension errors, and individuals with lower working memory showed particular difficulties with passive and implausible sentences. For reading times, we found that individuals with dyslexia were overall slower readers. These findings suggest that (1) individuals with dyslexia do rely on heuristics to a greater extent than do non-dyslexic individuals, and (2) individual differences variables (e.g., verbal intelligence and working memory) are also related to the use of parsing heuristics. For the latter, lower ability individuals tended to be more consistent with heuristic processing (i.e., good-enough representations)
Obesity as a risk factor for the admission of COVID-19 patients into ICU: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Get PDFAnalysis of the effect of injuries on match performance variables in professional soccer players: a retrospective, experimental longitudinal design
Get PDFBackground: Knowing the impact of injuries is essential for their adequate management during reconditioning programs.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the changes in match performance parameters in professional soccer players after sustaining an injury, which was defined according to injury severity. Methods: Two-hundred and seven injuries related to one hundred and sixty-one professional soccer players from the Spanish LaLigaTM were considered for this study. All the injuries were classified according to their severity as minor (from 4 to 7 missed days), moderate (from 8 to 28 missed days), and major (more than 28 missed days). Through Mediacoach® videotracking system, time and external demand variables were collected and subsequently compared between pre-injury and return to play periods. The analyzed variables were (in m.min-1): relative distance covered (RD; total distance covered·min-1), distance covered walking (0-6 km·h−1), distance covered jogging (6-12 km·h−1), distance covered running (12-18 km·h−1), distance covered at intense running (18-21 km·h−1), distance covered at high-speed running (21-24 km·h−1) and sprinting (>24 km·h−1) distance covered.
Results: Significant reductions in playing time after suffering moderate and major injuries were observed. Significant reductions after minor injuries were observed in jogging (>6 km·h−1) and running (6-12 km·h−1), while significantly greater distances at intense running (18-21 km·h−1) and high-speed running (21-24 km·h−1) were covered by players who suffer major injuries. Finally, relevant decreases in the maximum speed achieved after moderate and major injuries were found.
Conclusions: In conclusion, this study shows the importance of high loads during reconditioning programs, as well as implementing strategies that allow reaching levels of maximum speed values after the return to play
Towards equitable and trustworthy genomics research.
Get PDFThe representation of traditionally scientifically underserved groups in genomic research continues to be low despite concerns about equity and social justice and the scientific and clinical need. Among the factors that account for this are a lack of trust in the research community and limited diversity in this community. The success of the multiple initiatives that aim to improve representation relies on the willingness of underrepresented populations to make data and samples available for research and clinical use. In this narrative review, we propose that this requires building trust, and set out four approaches to demonstrating trustworthiness, including increasing diversity in the research workforce, and meaningful engagement with underrepresented communities in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner. Capacity building globally will ensure that actual and perceived exploitation and 'helicopter' research could be eliminated. [Abstract copyright: Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

The UN Global Compact and the Ulama (Religious Scholars of Islam): a missing voice in Islamic Business Ethics
Get PDFIslamic business ethics (IBE) has overlooked a major voice in Islam: the ulama (Islamic religious scholars). To enhance our understanding of Islam and business ethics we argue for this voice's inclusion. We demonstrate these contentions by presenting findings from a qualitative study in which we interviewed 50 ulama in respect of Islam's views on the UN Global Compact. While the current view in IBE research is that Islam and the UN Global Compact are compatible, our findings reveal that the ulama reject this argument. By including the voices of ulama in IBE research, novel and alternative perspectives on business ethics are realized. Our research illustrates the salience of perspectives exogenous to Western modernity as a means of enlivening ethical debate and—by implication—averting moral closure in business ethics and in the wider field of management and organization studies in which it is embedded
