Summary: This study examines the requirements for manufacturing companies when implementing advanced services involving financial solutions and develops a framework to assess the applicability of these services. The findings suggest that internal and external conditions, such as the sophistication of the finance function and the ability to attract new financial players, play a role in predicting the likelihood of adopting advanced services. The study also proposes planning operations as a financial product from the viewpoint of the financer and investor.

Summary: Anomalous perceptual experiences are relatively common in the general population, and the key to distinguishing individuals with a need for care from those without lies in how they appraise these experiences. The clinical group reported higher subjective threat appraisals compared to the non-clinical and control groups, accompanied by differences in brain activation patterns.

Summary: The study found that empathy has a positive effect on helping behavior for high-class participants, but not for low-class participants. However, empathy has a positive effect on caring behavior for all participants, but only when the recipient of help belongs to the same social class. This highlights the importance of considering both empathy and the social class of the recipient for promoting cooperative relations.

Summary: The study found that young children struggle with predicting future physiological states, possibly due to being influenced by their current state or having difficulty understanding how physiological states fluctuate over time. Adults were able to accurately predict others' future desires, while children had difficulty with this task.

Summary: SNAD Viewer is a web portal that provides astronomers with a centralized view of individual objects from the Zwicky Transient Facility's (ZTF) data releases, gathering data from multiple sources. It started as a tool for efficient expert feedback in adaptive machine learning applications and has evolved into a community asset that centralizes public information and offers a multi-dimensional view of ZTF sources. The infrastructure is scalable, flexible, and can be personalized for other surveys and scientific goals. The Viewer highlights the importance of domain experts in the era of big data in astronomy and is crucial for optimal exploitation of large-scale data sets.

Summary: This study focuses on the impact of investor attention on the dynamics of various financial assets, such as stocks, gold, and cryptocurrencies, as measured by Google searches. Results indicate that different assets react differently to changes in investor attention, with Bitcoin being the most sensitive and gold being the most immune. The relationship between investor attention and asset prices changes over time, with Bitcoin dynamics having the most significant influence on investor attention.

Summary: Traditional porn research focuses on the effects, assuming that people, especially young people, are influenced by the sexual media they consume, resulting in negative outcomes. However, for many young people, watching porn is a normal activity and engaging with sexual media is part of their everyday life.

Summary: Past research has revealed that children are more likely to seek and remember facts about kinds rather than individuals, but are also interested in and learn facts about individuals. This study explored the factors that influence children's preference for learning information about individuals. The results showed that children preferred to learn specific information about items they owned, and kind-based information about items owned by a stranger. Familiarity also shaped children's learning preferences for items not owned by them.

Summary: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) stigma is a barrier to PrEP uptake among Black and Latinx adolescents. A survey and qualitative interviews were conducted, revealing that PrEP stigma is associated with decreased likelihood of PrEP disclosure to parents/guardians and preference for health care providers to initiate PrEP-related discussions only with high-risk patients.

Summary: Many children nowadays lack the recommended amount of physical activity and are more sedentary, which negatively affects their physical and social health. Schools play a crucial role in promoting positive attitudes towards physical activity, as they are often the only outlet for organized physical activity. This study explores how children in low to middle school talk about physical activity during recess, revealing that it is seen as a way to form social groups, counteract loneliness, and impacting children's participation and identity construction.

Summary: This study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processing speed using different modalities and task rules in attention tasks. The findings suggest that long-range connections might be related to cognitive control, while short-range connections are associated with rule-based stimulus-response processes. This revealed neural network indicates that automaticity, task rules, and effortful top-down attentional control contribute to cognitive speed.

Summary: The study aimed to gather evidence from previous functional brain imaging experiments to understand the neural processes of allocentric and egocentric spatial coding. The results revealed common and unique neural processes associated with these two types of spatial coding, mediated by different brain networks. Task-specific influences were only observed in allocentric spatial coding, offering insights for future spatial task design.

Summary: The study identified that the baseline Chinese Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) score was the significant predictor for the outcomes of the Stage-One programme for CTS patients, while the baseline Chinese QuickDASH score was the significant predictor for the outcomes of the Stage-Two programme. These findings have practical applications in guiding client-centered treatment planning in clinical practice.

Summary: Age-related cognitive slowing is a precursor of cognitive decline. This study examined how inter- and intra-brain network influences mediate age-related cognitive slowing. The results suggest that inter-network connectivity from the cerebellar network (CN) and fronto-insular salience network (SN) to the frontoparietal dorsal attention network (DAN) play significant roles in age-related cognitive slowing.

Summary: This review examines sensory over-responsivity (SOR) in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and highlights the close relationship between SOR and prenatal and genetic factors. Recent studies suggest that SOR symptoms are associated with abnormal brain connectivity, specifically decreased inter-hemispheric connectivity in subcortical regions and increased intra-hemispheric connectivity, as well as an enlarged amygdala. These findings indicate that the functional abnormalities associated with SOR may be due to reduced top-down regulation and inhibition, leading to difficulty in filtering and integrating sensory information and generating excessive responses to stimuli.

Summary: Olfactory dysfunction and neuropsychiatric symptoms are common in COVID-19 patients. Recent research suggests a connection between altered smell and neuropsychiatric symptoms after infection with SARS-CoV-2. Systemic inflammation and ischemic injury are believed to be the main causes, but there is also evidence of a neurotropic property of the virus. This article summarizes the neural correlates of olfaction and discusses the potential transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within the olfactory connections in the brain.

Summary: Conceptualizations and operational definitions of psychological resilience vary across resilience neuroimaging studies. Data on the neural features of resilience among healthy individuals has been scarce. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have reported inconsistent findings, with the emotional network being the most studied in relation to resilience. No common brain regions or neural pathways were identified across studies. Matching fMRI modalities and operational definitions of resilience across studies are essential for meta-analysis.
