Summary: With the increasing use of wearable devices with embedded sensors, there is potential for modeling individual emotional and mental state variations. While there have been studies exploring digital behavior differences between groups with and without mental disorders, the interaction between physiological states and affective states within a predominantly depressive population remains to be studied. This study proposes models that leverage multiple raw signal-to-image transformations to predict depression severity and affective state, and evaluates them using a dataset.

Summary: Stress directly affects human health, making effective stress management essential for a healthy life. Recent advancements in wearable technology allow for monitoring and managing stress, while also proving that typical stress alleviation methods can effectively lower stress levels. New skin-like electronic devices provide continuous, portable daily stress monitoring and management capabilities.

Summary: The study suggests that cyclists in bike lane conditions have a lower GSR reading than when cycling in non-bike lane conditions, showing the impact of infrastructure on rider comfort. Additionally, GSR readings for cyclists in non-bike lane conditions were influenced by vehicle volume but not vehicle speed. Females reported feeling less comfortable riding in either condition, suggesting a need for further research on gender-specific factors in cycling infrastructure development.

Summary: The study explored how emotional expressions of virtual agents influence the way humans touch them. The results showed that people's emotional perception and experience affect the intensity and duration of touch towards virtual agents, suggesting that haptic responses can serve as an implicit measure of people's experience with their virtual companions.

Summary: Cadmium is a heavy metal widely found in the environment due to its industrial uses. It has negative effects on plant growth and photosynthesis. An experiment on maize seedlings showed that the expression of ORDC increased under Cd exposure, but Put content only increased on day 15. Spermidine and Spermine levels were reduced on day 6 but increased on day 12. Cd started accumulating in the roots on day 6 and in the shoot part on day 15. Different miRNAs may regulate polyamines in maize under Cd toxicity.

Summary: This narrative review presents the possibilities of using galvanic skin response (GSR) biofeedback method in the neurorehabilitation of individuals with mental disorders. The measurement of electrodermal activity (EDA) can provide information about emotions, cognitive processes, and behavior, as well as the function of various brain regions. GSR measurement is used in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, and the GSR biofeedback training method allows for modulation of emotional state based on individual needs.

Summary: Continuous physiological monitoring in wearable devices is currently a popular topic. However, measuring physiological variables is challenging due to personal factors. This article introduces a new skin conductance analog front end to address individual physiological dynamics. The system's performance is compared with existing skin conductance sensors, and experimental results from 47 women volunteers are analyzed and compared with a reference sensing system. The research aims to promote the development of self-adjustable wearable sensors.

Summary: This study found that a more positive affective valence during exercise can predict long-term adherence to physical activity programs, particularly for participants using exercise video games (EVGs). EVG participants displayed more positive affective valence and perceived less exertion during exercise compared to Standard participants, which contributed to greater physical activity participation.

Summary: Lysine crotonylation is a reversible protein posttranslational modification that plays a crucial role in maintaining genome stability and responding to genotoxic stresses. It connects cellular metabolism with gene regulation and is involved in various cellular processes, including transcriptional repression induced by double-strand breaks, DNA repair, and the response to DNA replication stress.

Summary: Recent advances in cognitive sciences have allowed for the classification of activities based on different levels of cognitive engagement. This study utilizes non-invasive physiological sensing techniques, such as galvanic skin response (GSR) and photoplethysmography (PPG), to monitor and classify cognitive load in professionals. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using GSR and PPG signals along with machine learning and statistical methods to differentiate between different categories of cognitive load. The potential for monitoring cognitive load in real-life conditions is also highlighted, with implications for fields such as aviation, medicine, and manufacturing.

Summary: Rumination is associated with increased risk for depression, while distraction helps lower the risk by drawing attention away from negative experiences. Mental imagery-based rumination is more strongly associated with depressive symptoms than verbal thoughts-based rumination. The reasons for the problematic nature of imagery-based rumination and how to intervene to reduce it remain unclear.

Summary: This article establishes a comprehensive theoretical framework to explain how people respond to incivility in organizations both biologically and behaviorally, emphasizing the importance of affiliation and positive social connections while pointing out that social and cultural features of an organization may hinder biological benefits from affiliation. The persistence of incivility and lack of resources for recovery among employees may lead to physical health harms.
