Ayahuasca Retreats: The Role of Awe and Mystical Experiences in Well-Being
Research on the positive psychological effects of psychedelics has surged since the early 2000s, particularly regarding increased well-being. Studies have demonstrated how psychedelic-occasioned mystical experiences play a key role in their positive effects, which has prompted an interest in the emotion of awe in the psychedelic context due to its similar phenomenology and associated benefits. This study examined 60 individuals following their vi…
Stela of the Viceroy Usersatet from Wadi el-Hudi (WH 255)
This article is a study of a stela (WH 255) discovered in 2016 from Wadi el-Hudi dating to the mid-18th Dy- nasty, dedicated by the viceroy of Nubia, Usersatet. The archaeological context of the stela is presented, along with its transcription, transliteration, translation, and some additional discussion. The stela complements an extensive number of rock inscriptions, stelae, and other inscribed material attributed to Usersatet, and provides an o…
Reversing the gaze: Understanding how community members are negatively affected by impact assessment
This study addresses the persistent tensions in Impact Assessment (IA), which aim to balance public engagement with technical analysis. In this context, the IA process itself poses a significant risk to the individuals and communities involved in the impact assessment. The consequences of these risks, and whether they materialize, remain uncertain and depend on the specific context of each IA process. Drawing on the sociology of risk and broader …
Assessing the extent and public health impact of bat predation by domestic animals using data from a rabies passive surveillance program
Domestic animals can serve as consequential conveyors of zoonotic pathogens across wildlife-human interfaces. Still, there has been little study on how different domestic species and their behaviors influence the zoonotic risk to humans. In this study, we examined patterns of bat encounters with domestic animals that resulted in submission for testing at the rabies laboratories of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) during 2014–2020. Our g…
Attitudes of Cancer Patients to Medicinal Cannabis Use: A Qualitative Study
As cancer patients face long-term health and psychosocial issues from their diagnosis and treatment, many patients are seeking medicinal cannabis to manage their symptoms and treatment side effects. This qualitative study aimed to explore attitudes, barriers, and concerns of cancer patients from one regional community in Australia to gain a better understanding of the experiences faced in using medicinal cannabis. Participants (n = 16) engaged in…
Perceptions of Veterinarians in British Columbia of Cat Management Strategies to Reduce Cat Overpopulation and Impacts on Wildlife Populations
Free-roaming cats present a multidisciplinary challenge for wildlife conservation and feline welfare. Veterinary professionals are critical stake-holders in the issue of free-roaming cats, making it imperative that their attitudes and perspectives are well understood. In this study, we conducted an electronic survey of veterinarians practicing across British Columbia to evaluate their perceptions of 1) whether cat overpopulation is a concern, 2) …
Dietary intervention for people with mental illness in South Australia
BACKGROUND: People with serious mental illness (SMI) have a 25-30 year lower life expectancy than the general population due largely to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mediterranean diet can reduce CVD risk and repeat events by 30-70%. We conducted a pilot feasibility study (HELFIMED) with people who have SMI residing within a Community Rehabilitation Centre in South Australia, aimed at improving participants' diets according to Mediterranean diet …
Geneious Basic: An integrated and extendable desktop software platform for the organization and analysis of sequence data
The two main functions of bioinformatics are the organization and analysis of biological data using computational resources. Geneious Basic has been designed to be an easy-to-use and flexible desktop software application framework for the organization and analysis of biological data, with a focus on molecular sequences and related data types. It integrates numerous industry-standard discovery analysis tools, with interactive visualizations to gen…
Computer Gap: The Soviet Union's Missed Revolution and Its Implications for Russian Technology Policy
Bureaucratic ineptitude, political controls, and economic contraints inhibited the development of Soviet computer technology. Russia today has the ability to close the computer gap with the West—it is already home to the world's best hackers—but it will not become a global information leader if it persists in trying to control access to the Internet
Social interaction skills and theory of mind in young children
Two studies explored relations between peer social skills and theory of mind in young children. In Study 1, a global teacher rating of social skills with peers, performance on a traditional false-belief task, a standardized assessment of auditory language comprehension, and a time sampling of amount of speech with peers were obtained. Positive, but moderate, zero-order correlations were observed between the false-belief measure and social skills,…

Children's responses to interadult anger as a function of information about resolution
In everyday family environments, conflict resolution in the presence of children is often not feasible. Can children still benefit from other sources of information about resolution? Analogue studies presented 5- to 6-year-old and 9- to 10-year-old children with videotaped scenarios of interadult conflicts ending in various ways. Study 1 demonstrated that negative effects of adults' disputes on children are reduced even by «resolution behind clos…
