Summary: This study compared the performance of participants with occipital cortex lesions (OCLs) and healthy observers with simulated visual field defects (VFDs) in a rapid scene discrimination task, revealing that the visual processing of OCL participants may be further compromised. The variability between OCL participants was found to be significantly larger than the extent of their VFDs, suggesting a more global impact on visual processing.

Summary: The reverse-contingency task is challenging for chimpanzees but easy for pigeons if reward amounts are associated with colors and choice is delayed. Pigeons can learn to avoid an alternative after experiencing a loss, indicating perceived loss aversion in pigeons. This suggests that loss aversion is a general phenomenon not exclusive to humans and primates, likely due to contrast and related to endowment and ownership effects.

Summary: This study explores how consumers, who are accustomed to digital environments, engage in dynamic and game-like interactions with organizations to manage their online visibility and information sharing levels. The researchers propose a new framework called "Propensity to Game" (P2G) to describe the process dynamics of these consumers' evolving and game-like engagements with organizations.

Summary: People can reject and replace unwanted thoughts after they have reached consciousness to prevent their continuous emergence. Additionally, individuals are capable of controlling the strengthening of associations during repetition. These individual differences may explain difficulties faced by some individuals with unwanted and intrusive thoughts.

Summary: Intraoperative hypotension is common and has negative impact on postoperative outcomes. Continuous blood pressure monitoring is recommended during the period between induction of anesthesia and the start of the procedure. There is strong evidence supporting the placement of arterial lines before anesthesia induction to maximize benefits.

Summary: Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) continues to grow in sub-Saharan Africa as a viable economic activity, with documented health and environmental impacts. Research conducted in northern Guinea explores how ASM pressures affect food choices, highlighting income variability and gender roles as influential factors. Despite women having the opportunity to earn higher incomes through artisanal mining, existing gender roles and expectations often limit their potential benefits in household food decision-making.

Summary: Impostorism is a phenomenon where individuals feel that the roles they hold exceed their capabilities, putting them at risk of exposure as frauds. This is often experienced by leaders in formal leadership roles, impacting their risk aversion, performance, emotional exhaustion, and motivation. Contextual characteristics at individual, dyadic, and organizational levels can play a role in either exacerbating or reducing this phenomenon, with support from organizations being able to mitigate leadership impostorism. Women and minority-status leaders may be more susceptible to impostorism, and practical implications for individuals and organizations are suggested.
