Aims: To deal with a possible risk of burnout due to the psychological and social pressure of the pandemic, it is good to have personal resources that work as a protective factor, such as resilience. The objective of this study is to investigate the differences between a sample of new hospital hires in 2019 and a sample of new hospital hires in 2020, in Lodi, Italy. Methods: To fulfill these purposes, a burnout test and a resilience test were used, and a dummy variable representing the condition of COVID-19 was created. Results: The results indicate that COVID-19 did not significantly affect burnout in the two samples. Limitations: Since the tests were carried out on hiring, the operators may not have been conditioned by the work weight, although Lodi was the epicenter of the pandemic in Italy. Conclusions: These data suggest that newly hired health workers would measure their work stress on personal resilience rather than the danger of COVID-19, despite government restrictions such as lockdowns, the mandatory use of safety devices, media reports on deaths and the risk of contagion.","PeriodicalId":92947,"journal":{"name":"Psychology and mental health care : open access","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47514786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The program had a significant impact on children's prosocial judgment, there was an increase in the frequency of children with needs-oriented and stereotyped reasoning, and a decrease in hedonistic judgment. Psychoeducational programs of this type could be used to positively influence the reasoning and prosocial behavior of children at these ages.","PeriodicalId":92947,"journal":{"name":"Psychology and mental health care : open access","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49072537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many neurodegenerative diseases-such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and prion diseases-occur as a result of neurodegenerative processes. Neurodegeneration can be found in the brain at many different levels of neuronal circuitry, ranging from molecular to systemic. Because there is no known way to reverse the progressive degeneration of neurons, these diseases are considered to be incurable. Biomedical research has revealed many similarities between these diseases at the sub-cellular level, including atypical protein assemblies (like proteopathy) and induced cell death. These similarities suggest that advances against one neurodegenerative disease might ameliorate other diseases as well. In this report, an autonomous physical system is used, which is represented by a Smale Williams hyperbolic type attractor.

Tejada-Simón","doi":"10.31579/2637-8892/150","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31579/2637-8892/150","url":null,"abstract":"In the wake of the racial injustice events and protests during summer 2020, the faculty and staff at the University of Houston-College of Pharmacy (UH-COP) felt a sense of helplessness and alarm. UH is generally proactive circulating and creating statements to show support for anti-racist education, changes in social justice, diversity, equity and inclusion. However, this time it was not enough. We wanted to have the courage to take a collective stand against racial prejudice, have the bravery not to remain silent. Confronted with the question on why we have not solved this long history of racial tear in our country, we recognized we do not understand how we got to this situation in the first place. Our country’s present situation suffers from a lack of attention to the root causes. Thus, a better understanding of those root causes would help us discover how to move past where we are right now, provide us with the tools to advance and to have open conversations about race and social injustices. With that effort in mind, the Office for Faculty Development at UH-COP designed and implemented a challenging program for faculty and staff over a 9-week period during the summer of 2020. The program combined open free sources as well as loaned films, together with facilitated sessions by Pharmacy experts. Because it was important to participate in this significant moment, the program started less than three weeks after the death of George Floyd, while the protests and civil unrest, as well as the pandemic, were still present in the USA and around the world. Herein, we outline the approach taken to changing minds and behaviors in our academic unit, building understanding to racial disparities, diversity, equity and inclusion. As part of the program, we facilitated particularly emotional exchanges among faculty and staff, collecting both personal and professional experiences that shaped us around biases and racism. Additionally, feedback from participants regarding the effectiveness of the program was gathered. After this educational experience, it is our commitment to continue bringing awareness to this topic through inclusion of additional relevant topics and work with our students as elements of change.","PeriodicalId":92947,"journal":{"name":"Psychology and mental health care : open access","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44759785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The publications contain abundant data on various methods of pharmacotherapeutic treatment of methamphetamine dependence. However, no pharmacotherapeutic therapy for methamphetamine dependence is sufficient. Materials and Methods: This was a double-blind study in patients diagnosed with methamphetamine dependence according to DSM-5. A total of 100 patients who met the DSM-5 criteria for methamphetamine dependence were examined. All male patients from 18 to 60 years old. The patients were divided into two groups of 50 people: the first group received clomipramine (anafranil) 300 mg / day (100 mg 3 times a day) and carbamazepine 600 mg / day (200 mg 3 times a day) orally. The second group received an indifferent drug (placebo) Results: as shown by follow-up data (12 months), among 50 patients who received anaphrani and carbamazepine only, 10 had short-term breakdowns associated with exposure to microsocial causes. The rest of the patients were in remission. Among patients receiving placebo, only 5 patients experienced remission, all the rest had cases of relapse. Responder analysis was performed using chi-square (x2) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Conclusion. Clinical statistics indicate the high efficiency of the use of anaphrani and carbamazepine in the treatment of methamphetamine dependence. The mechanisms of action of the drug are being discussed.","PeriodicalId":92947,"journal":{"name":"Psychology and mental health care : open access","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41998695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
