This study aimed to validate and test a detection tool for late adolescents within educational settings in Denmark. The tool, which was based on nine items from the UCLA Loneliness Scale (UCLA-9), underwent a three-stage refinement and testing process. In Stage 1, psychometric analyses and cognitive interviews investigated the reliability, validity, and usability of the tool among adolescents ages 16–20 years; potential cut-off scores for identification of cases on the three-dimensional scale were explored. Stage 2 involved a feasibility test in three educational institutions. Field observations and qualitative interviews with participants offered insights and recommendations for implementation of the tool in educational settings. Stage 3 involved 1728 students engaged in the Danish Lift program run in three municipalities. Among those youth, the refined UCLA-9 demonstrated robust psychometric properties, identifying 9% of adolescents as cases with a cut-off score of ≥10 on each subscale. The UCLA-9 showed promise in identifying adolescents experiencing loneliness, which often co-occurred with poor mental health. Challenges remain in determining appropriate cut-off scores for the identification of cases.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143885024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article introduces a new method for facilitated group work based on the process model of eco-anxiety and ecological grief (hereafter, the process model). The method combines elements from timeline exercises, social learning, spectrum line methods, and somatic methods. Observations and feedback from a pilot workshop are used to develop the method further. Participants explored their eco-anxiety journeys in small groups. The phases and dimensions of the process model were printed on paper, and people could move in space while they reflected on them. The participants were encouraged to experiment with somatic movements and sounds. The possible balance or imbalance between action, distancing (including self-care), and grieving (including other emotional engagement) was explored. The workshop ended with creative co-thinking about how to find more balance. This method was clearly useful for the participants, but more research is needed to explore its use with different audiences. This method can be facilitated by people other than therapists if they have suitable skills, but it also allows for in-depth use in therapy and psychological interventions. Variations of using the method or parts of it are discussed.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143885025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Feelings of excessive worry when exposed to statistical content impact student performance and heighten negative perceptions of statistics. While many factors have been identified as relevant antecedents of statistics anxiety, it is unclear how they relate to different components of this phenomenon, and which factors are most influential. Additionally, no research has investigated the impact of peer attitudes toward statistics anxiety. The current study describes a preregistered network analysis of statistics anxiety, peer attitudes, and related variables with a sample of 279 UK higher education students. After performing reliability checks, results support the distinction made in previous literature between attitudes toward statistics and statistics anxiety per se. The former were influenced by feelings of statistics self-efficacy, age, and peer attitudes toward statistics, and the latter was influenced by negative problem orientation and intolerance of uncertainty. The most influential nodes were the negative problem orientation variables, inhibitory anxiety, and interpretation anxiety. The findings are discussed in relation to addressing statistics anxiety from multiple angles.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagnosis is challenging, in large part due to the oftentimes vague presenting symptoms with multiple possible etiologies, as well as limited consistency of currently available diagnostic tests. Furthermore, effective medical treatment is limited, and acid suppression therapy such as proton pump inhibitors has shown low to mixed efficacy in relieving signs and symptoms of reflux outside the esophagus. In this review, we will address laryngopharyngeal reflux and its diagnosis based on symptoms and exam findings, and diagnostic tools such as impedance monitoring and salivary pepsin testing. A summary of the use and limitations of acid-suppressing therapies for extraesophageal reflux and the rationale for targeting pepsin as a nonacid component of reflux will be presented. Finally, the current literature on the potential role of reflux in subglottic stenosis and lessons learned regarding reflux in the lung transplant surgery field in higher risk patient populations will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This central arrangement has motivated research on the claustrum's role in cognition and highlights the need to understand its intrinsic connectivity. In the fruit bat, Carollia perspicillata, the large size of the claustrum offers access to its intrinsic structure. Previously, we defined the structure of the C. perspicillata claustrum with antibodies against latexin as an excitatory cell marker and against calcium-binding proteins as inhibitory cell markers. Using this immunohistochemical method, we have now identified an unexpected cell type with concurrent latexin and calretinin immunoreactivity. The calretinin+ neurons of the claustrum, including those that coexpress GAD67 (another inhibitory cell marker) and those that coexpress latexin, are located in the claustral shell subregion. Neuronal latexin+/calretinin+ somata are smaller than either latexin−/calretinin+ or latexin+/calretinin− somata. Since latexin labels glutamatergic neurons in multiple brain areas and has never been found to colocalize with GAD, we conclude that the latexin+/calretinin+ neurons in the claustral shell are excitatory. They represent one of three excitatory cell types that are identifiable in the claustral shell and demonstrate that calretinin can label both inhibitory and excitatory cells in the C. perspicillata claustrum.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While microsaccade behavior has been linked to various cognitive and emotional processes, whether emotional conflict affects microsaccade responses remains to be determined. Additionally, pupil dilation is known to be modulated by emotional conflict signals, and both microsaccades and pupil dilation are arguably mediated by the superior colliculus (SC). However, the relationship between microsaccades and pupil dilation remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of emotional conflict on microsaccade rates and metrics by presenting an emotional face–word stimulus in the face–word Stroop task. Larger microsaccade amplitudes (or higher peak velocities) were observed in the incongruent condition compared to the congruent condition, while microsaccade rates were similar between the two conditions. Additionally, microsaccade amplitudes were larger in incongruent trials following congruent trials than in those following incongruent trials. Furthermore, interindividual correlations between differences in microsaccade responses and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores were observed. Finally, trials with higher microsaccade rates were associated with larger pupil dilation. These results demonstrate the modulation of microsaccade metrics by emotional conflict, implicating the SC in integrating signals from the locus coeruleus network to coordinate these responses.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143867127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How maturation affects cholinergic sweating through early adulthood remains unclear. We assessed the influence of age and sex on cholinergic sweating, including seasonal acclimatization, in groups of prepubescent to young adult males and females. A total of 405 children and adolescents (ages 6‐17; 229 boys and 176 girls) and 52 young adults (ages 18‐25; 25 males and 27 females) underwent pilocarpine iontophoresis on the ventral forearm to induce cholinergic sweating during summer (n = 111) and non‐summer (n = 457). Sweat gland output, calculated as sweat rate divided by activated sweat gland density, was compared between sexes and across age groups in 2‐year intervals until age 17. We observed statistically significant sex‐related differences in sweat gland output in children as young as 8‐9 years of age, with even greater differences between sexes in groups 14‐15 years of age and older. The changes in cholinergic sweating function occurred independently of maturational changes in body morphology. Our results offer insight into the sex differences in cholinergic sweating activity during maturation from childhood to adolescence.","PeriodicalId":8250,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
