Eye Movement Attenuation Of Intrusive Social Anxiety Imagery: A Pilot Study., Sr Homer, C Deeprose

School of Psychology

Background and objectives: A growing body of research has shown that negative, intrusive mental imagery plays a prevalent and causal role in social anxiety, and is qualitatively different to voluntarily generated imagery. Negative imagery can be reduced in vividness and emotional intensity through concurrent lateral eye movements (EMs) as per Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Despite EMDR being used for a range of disorders, previous laboratorybased experimental research typically uses voluntarily generated autobiographical memories rather than involuntarily experienced intrusive images. In a pilot study, we investigated the efficacy of eye movement attenuation of negative, intrusive, socialanxiety imagery. Methods: …

A Test Of The Adaptive Network Explanation Of Functional Disorders Using A Machine Learning Analysis Of Symptoms., Christos Melidis, Susan L. Denham, Michael E. Hyland

School of Psychology

The classification and etiology of functional disorders is controversial. Evidence supports both psychological and biological (disease) models that show, respectively, that functional disorders should be classified as one (bodily distress syndrome) and many (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)). Two network models (symptom network and adaptive network) can explain the specificity and covariation of symptomatology, but only the adaptive network model can explain the covariation of the somatic symptoms of functional disorders. The adaptive network model is based on the premise that a network of biological mechanisms has emergent properties and can exhibit …

Cell Death As A Trigger For Morphogenesis., Boris Aguilar, Ahmadreza Ghaffarizadeh, Christopher D Johnson, Gregory J Podgorski, Ilya Shmulevich, Nicholas S Flann

Articles, Abstracts, and Reports

The complex morphologies observed in many biofilms play a critical role in the survival of these microbial communities. Recently, the formation of wrinkles has been the focus of many studies aimed at finding fundamental information on morphogenesis during development. While the underlying genetic mechanisms of wrinkling are not well-understood, recent discoveries have led to the counterintuitive idea that wrinkle formation is triggered by localized cell death. This work examines the hypothesis that the material properties of a biofilm both power and control wrinkle formation within biofilms in response to localized cell death. Using an agent-based model and a high-performance platform …

Re-Inventing Arbitration: How Expanding The Scope Of Arbitration Is Re-Shaping Its Form And Blurring The Line Between Private And Public Adjudication, Deborah R. Hensler, Damira Khatam

Nevada Law Journal

Contemporary academic research and scholarship are highly specialized. Legal scholarship on arbitration reflects this trend. There is extensive literature on domestic arbitration jurisprudence, on international commercial arbitration practice, and on investor-state arbitration procedure, and there are debates about the appropriate use of arbitration within all of these domains. But few of the participants in these debates are attentive to developments outside their own domains, and there are few examples of scholarship surveying trends across the three domains. Undertaking that analysis reveals important similarities in the challenges facing arbitration in each domain and in the responses to these challenges. Looking across …

Response: Public Litigation, Private Arbitration?, David L. Noll

Nevada Law Journal

How should disputes be allocated between litigation and arbitration? Given strong incentives for many actors to arbitrate everything, the question turns fundamentally on the scope of arbitration under the applicable law. In Re-Inventing Arbitration: How Expanding the Scope of Arbitration Is Re-Shaping Its Form and Blurring the Line Between Private and Public Adjudication, Professor Deborah Hensler and Damira Khatam posit that the ‘public’ or ‘private’ nature of a dispute provides the key to whether it belongs in arbitration. While arbitration of private disputes is ok, disputes with “public policy dimensions” belong in the courts. Hensler and Khatam therefore suggest that …

Pilot Data On Responsive Epilepsy Neurostimulation, Measures Of Sleep Apnea And Continuous Glucose Measurements., Katie M Kinnear, Nicole M Warner, Anand Gersappe, Michael J Doherty

Articles, Abstracts, and Reports

Objectives: To match responsive neurostimulator (RNS) and polysomnographic data to determine if RNS detections and stimulations correlate with measurements of sleep disordered breathing and continuous glucose measurements (CGM).

Materials and methods: In a patient with an RNS with detection/stimulation leads implanted bi-temporally detection-stimulation counts were matched by time with coinciding polysomnogram and CGM data.

Results: Temporal dispersion of RNS DSC were independent of measures of sleep apnea, hypopnea or glucose.

Conclusion: Hippocampal nighttime responsive neurostimulation therapies did not appear to worsen measures of normal or abnormal sleep.
