Summary: This study analyzed the prognosis of coexistence of physical frailty and psychological frailty in patients with heart failure (HF). The results showed that both physical and psychological frailty were independently associated with adverse outcomes. Combined assessment of physical and psychological frailty leads to more detailed risk stratification of HF patients.

Summary: Image aesthetic quality assessment is widely used in various applications, but existing methods require excessive labeled data. This study proposes a theme-aware semi-supervised method to address this issue, achieving comparable performance with fully supervised learning. This method consists of a representation learning step and a label propagation step.

Summary: In the context of trauma experienced by patients following a cancer diagnosis and the expectation of surgical intervention, it is important to assess the psychological status using a unified and multidimensional approach. This assessment can help psycho-oncologists adapt their therapeutic interventions to alleviate stress caused by the cancer diagnosis and treatment. A study involving breast cancer patients and patients with breast lumps awaiting diagnosis found significant differences in self-esteem, depression, and cognitive schemas between the two groups. These differences were associated with personality traits and specific psychological changes.

Summary: Employees at healthcare organizations are facing increased stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates the impact of cognitive stress on turnover intentions and explores the role of perceived psychological safety in mitigating this effect. The findings suggest that psychological safety mediates the relationship between cognitive stress and turnover intentions, and COVID-19 worry and supervisor support moderate this relationship.

Summary: Misinformation can harm populations' wellbeing. This UK-based online experiment assessed the effectiveness of false tags and inoculation interventions against different types of misinformation. The study presented participants with real-life misinformation on a social media platform and measured their engagement, finding that inoculation was more effective in reducing engagement. However, the protection conferred by inoculation varied across different posts. The study suggests a combination of interventions may be needed for future safeguarding efforts.

Summary: Long COVID is a clinical syndrome characterized by long-lasting symptoms beyond 3-12 weeks after infection with SARS-CoV-2, including fatigue, neurocognitive difficulties, muscle pain, weakness, and depression. The assessment tools, such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and specific tests like the State Trait Inventory of Cognitive Fatigue and the Digit Span, are crucial in early screening for cognitive alterations. Neurorehabilitative programs using specific methods and techniques are needed to treat COVID-19-related cognitive and behavioral abnormalities.

Summary: Large language models (LLMs) have shown impressive performance in reasoning and problem-solving tasks in cognitive psychology. Their accuracy is on par with average neurotypical adults, challenging criticisms of associative models. Modern LLMs revive associationist principles, enabling complex reasoning through long-distance associations. Though limitations exist in areas like causal cognition and planning, phenomena like emergence suggest potential for growth. Providing examples and expanding the network dimensions improve LLM abilities, similar to facilitation effects in human cognition. Analysis of LLMs errors provides insights into human cognitive biases. Overall, LLMs represent a promising development for understanding intelligence and reasoning from an associationist perspective.

Summary: This study developed five short videos to inoculate people against common manipulation techniques used in misinformation. The research found that these videos effectively improve people's recognition of manipulation techniques, enhance their ability to discern trustworthy from untrustworthy content, and improve the quality of their sharing decisions. These effects are consistent across the political spectrum and various covariates.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of perceived social support on the self-esteem, mental wellbeing, and school readiness of left-behind children, as well as the mediating role of psychological resilience in these relationships. The findings showed that perceived social support played a significant role in enhancing the mental wellbeing, self-esteem, and school readiness of left-behind children. Additionally, it was found that perceived social support had a positive effect on psychological resilience, which in turn was an important predictor of self-esteem and school readiness.

Summary: The implementation of psycho-oncological support has shown positive influence on cancer treatment outcomes and quality of life. However, there are still barriers and disparities in accessing psycho-oncological support, which continue to impact the health conditions and quality of life of cancer patients and survivors. Further research and possible solutions are needed.
