Summary: This study examined memory disturbances in 14 cases of non-fatal hanging, finding that all cases had retrograde amnesia and 42.9% had both anterograde and retrograde amnesia.

Summary: Newborn domestic chicks quickly learn to recognize and prefer familiar individuals. We conducted experiments to examine if lack of physical contact or social feedback during familiarization would affect affiliative preference, and hypothesized the importance of social responsiveness. The results showed that despite the absence of haptic interaction or being seen by its cagemate, chicks still preferred the familiar individual. However, when the familiar individual was socially unresponsive, chicks developed a preference for the unfamiliar individual. These findings emphasize the significance of social interaction in the early stages of life, regardless of familiarity.

Summary: From the perspective of decolonial feminism and the coloniality of gender, this article analyzes the Latinx woman as a racial and gender category of modernity/coloniality. The analysis is based on the author's experiences as a Colombian immigrant, Spanglish speaker, and family therapist in academia in the United States. It aims to make visible the operations of colonial power implicated in the Eurocentric, racialized, gendered, and classist configuration of the Latinx and the woman, to detach from it, and to consider other possibilities of existence.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the dimensions of internalized weight stigma (IWS) in people with excess weight (EW), using both in-depth interviews and the WBIS-2F questionnaire. The findings revealed seven themes, including devaluation of competencies, self-blame, bodily devaluation, ambivalence, anticipated stigma, coping strategies, and mental well-being. The results indicated that participants scored low on weight-related self-devaluation and high on weight-related distress. In addition, novel aspects of IWS, particularly bodily devaluation, were also identified. Further research is needed to examine and validate these additional dimensions of IWS.

Summary: This paper examines how failed stakeholder inclusion during a crisis can result in distrust of platform organizations, using Airbnb's response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study. The qualitative analysis reveals a disconnect between what the platform leaders said and what they actually did in their crisis response, leading to distrust and selective disengagement from stakeholders. Drawing on the concept of inattentional blindness from psychology, the paper offers a metaphorical explanation for why platform organizations fail to include stakeholders during times of crisis.
