Summary: This study presents the German version of the Brief Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales (BANPS) and examines its reliability and validity. The BANPS-GL showed good reliability and acceptable factorial validity, and also improved the psychometric properties of the original long form. The inclusion of the dimension LUST allows for a complete coverage of the primary emotion dispositions.

Summary: This study provides psycholinguistic and affective norms for 1,252 Spanish idiomatic expressions, revealing correlations between familiarity and knowledge, predictability, literality, as well as the tendency for Spanish idioms to convey more negative meanings. Additionally, it shows a quadratic relationship between valence and arousal in idiomatic expressions.

Summary: Human beings perceive the emotions of others through various cues, such as facial expressions and bodily postures, and these emotions are recognized to some extent in a culturally universal pattern. Approach-avoidance reactions toward the expressor occur at the initial stage of emotion perception.

Summary: The study found that there is a complex relationship between stable, subclinical dysphoria and depression history, which may have implications for memory of others' sad facial expressions.

Summary: Dogs and humans have species-specific differences in emotion perception, with dogs focusing more on the body while humans focus more on the head when viewing emotional expressions. Both species also show a clear age effect, with reduced head gaze as they age. These findings have important implications for managing interactions between humans and dogs.

Summary: In this study, we explore the operating principle of visual motion processing in the brain through a dynamical system approach. We propose a model to estimate the velocity of visual stimulus and find that our theoretical predictions align with previous works on eye movement across various stimuli. Our findings suggest that the brain implements this framework as an internal model of motion vision, and we anticipate our model to contribute to the understanding of visual motion processing and robotics development.

Summary: This study developed the first prototype for automatic MaqFACS coding, showing high performance in recognizing macaque facial action units. The generalization ability of these methods suggests they can be applied across conspecific individuals and even different species.

Summary: Population-based neuroimaging studies with complex sampling designs have wider generalizability but also pose challenges for researchers. This article provides a resource for researchers interested in using population-based neuroimaging data, discussing sampling designs and differences between traditional model-based analyses and survey-oriented design-based analyses. Using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM Study, the authors highlight sociodemographic discrepancies and show that model-based approaches may overestimate the associations between socioeconomic resources and brain development. Recommendations for users of population-based neuroimaging cohorts are also provided.

Summary: A novel Ritz-beta approach is proposed for accurately determining the vibrational frequencies of a body based on its three-dimensional elasticity. The proposed approach eliminates the need for intensive computational procedures and kinematic constraints, resulting in significant reduction in computational time.

Summary: This paper presents a method to simplify the free vibration analysis of beam structures by modifying the transfer matrix method. Treating beam structures as topological graphs and deriving and standardizing the transfer matrix of typical building blocks makes the complex modeling problem easier to solve. Comparative validation with practical case studies confirms the advantages of this method.

Summary: The study suggests a link between alexithymia and affective disorder symptoms because alexithymia impairs emotion regulation. Results indicate that alexithymia is indirectly associated with affective disorder symptoms through emotion regulation difficulties.

Summary: This paper proposes an Internet of Things system that uses facial expression recognition and physiological data analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching. By using a Convolutional Neural Network and Photoplethysmography, the system is able to accurately recognize students' facial expressions and physiological data, and evaluate their level of attention through comparison and analysis.

Summary: Home education in Australia is gaining popularity, with female caregivers often coordinating the education. Families choose home education due to philosophical beliefs or perceived necessity, united by the belief that traditional education systems fail to meet their children's educational and psychosocial needs. This has implications for policy and funding support.
