Dysfunction and Legitimacy: Huge Files in Modern society.
Neither IQ, adaptive functioning, nor caregiver-reported emotional functioning was predictive of false positive status. Trauma-related psychiatric diagnoses were more common among false positives.

The ADOS-2 should not be used in isolation to assess for ASD, and, in psychiatrically-complex cases, RRB symptom severity may be particularly helpful in differentiating ASD from other psychiatric conditions. Additionally, heightened levels of anxiety, more so than overactivity or disruptive behavior, may lead to non-ASD specific elevations in ADOS-2 scores.

AD psychosis may represent a distinct AD phenotype, though its specific neurobiological underpinnings have yet to be identified. This study investigated neural underpinnings of AD psychosis using surface-based-morphometry.Data from 32 AD patients, 17 with psychosis (AD-P) and 15 without were analyzed. Average cortical complexity (fractal dimension, FD) was estimated for each theoretically motivated ROI and patient. First, we compared regional FD in AD-P and AD patients. Then we calculated the correlation coefficients between FD and the severity of misidentification and paranoid psychotic symptoms. AD-P showed decreased FD in ventral-visual-stream compared to AD, suggesting that perceptual processes might be pivotal in psychosis. A negative correlation was found between misidentification severity and FD in the entorhinal cortex suggesting that misidentification may be specifically associated with alterations in regions involved in high-level perceptual and contextualization processes.
This study explores the effects of employee perception of the management's safety priority, safety rules, and safety training on safety participation and safety behaviour decided by management, as well as the mediating role of safety training on the other four dimensions.

The study covers employees working in 27 metal companies classed as hazardous/very hazardous in Turkey. The research data was collected by surveying 822 metal sector employees. The collected data was tested through explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses, in that order.

The findings of this analysis indicated statistically direct, positive effects of safety priority on safety rules, and safety training, such effect of safety rules on safety training, and again such effects of safety training on safety participation, and safety behaviour. Besides, indirect relationships were detected between safety priority and safety rules and safety participation, and safety behaviour through the mediating role of safety training.

Employee participation in health and safety issues, as well as safe behaviour in the workplace depend on management prioritising health and safety issues as much as production, formulating safe working rules, procedures, and practices using comprehensive and regular training programmes.

To investigate the test-retest reliability and measurement error of the Brazilian version of the modified Gait Efficacy scale (mGES-Brazil) in individuals who have had stroke.

The mGES-Brazil was applied on two occasions, five to seven days apart, in a research laboratory setting. Test-retest reliability and measurement error, which included the standard error of measurement (SEM), smallest detectable change (SDC), and analysis of the limits of agreement by the Bland-Altman plots, were examined.

Fifty individuals who have had stroke (18 men), with a mean age of 64±11years, were evaluated. All individual items showed good reliability (Intra-class Correlation Coefficient - ICC
>0.90). The ICC was 0.98 (95% CI 0.97 to 0.99) and the Bland and Altman plots revealed no systematic changes in the mean test-retest scores. The SEM (SEM%) was 3 (5%), within the recommended values, while the SDC was 8 points.

The mGES-Brazil demonstrated to be reliable to be applied within clinical and research contexts for the assessment of changes in walking confidence of individuals who have had stroke. Changes in mGES scores ≥8 points reflect real changes.

Two closely related characteristics of VR are immersion (i.e., the objective degree to which VR naturalistically portrays a real-world environment) and presence (i.e., the subjective sense of being "mentally transported" to the virtual world). Although some research has demonstrated benefits of increased immersion on VR-based learning, it is uncertain how broadly and consistently this benefit extends to individual components of immersion. Moreover, it is unclear whether presence may mediate the effect of immersion on memory. Three experiments assessed how presence and memory were affected by three manipulations of immersion field of view, unimodal (visual only) vs. bimodal (audiovisual) environments, and the realism of lighting effects (e.g., the occurrence or absence of shadows). Results indicated that effects of different manipulations of immersion are heterogeneous, affecting memory in some instances and presence in others, but not necessarily both. Importantly, no evidence for a mediating effect of presence emerged in any of these experiments, nor in a combined cross-experimental analysis. This outcome demonstrates a degree of independence between immersion and presence with regard to their influence on episodic memory performance.
