Increased pre-alpha functional connectivity in dementia with Lewy bodies

BackgroundResting-state EEG studies have shown that neurodegenerative dementias like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) can alter cortical functional connectivity. In DLB, the presence of a pre-alpha rhythm suggests frequency-specific network dysfunctions that remain poorly understood.ObjectiveIn the present study we tested the hypothesis that electroencephalography (EEG) recordings in DLB patients may show abnormal cortical functional connectivity.MethodsResting-sta...

Development and validation of the Disrespect and Mistreatment during Childbirth Questionnaire: risk factors and effects on parenting stress

Introduction: A growing body of research indicates that disrespect and mistreatment during childbirth (obstetric mistreatment) are widespread globally. These experiences, along with their prevalence, risk factors, and impacts on maternal mental health, are often assessed using ad hoc tools, highlighting the need for psychometrically valid instruments. This study aims to develop and validate the Disrespect and Mistreatment during Childbirth Questionnaire (DMCQ) and explore factors contributing...

Maternal mindfulness buffers parenting in highly sensitive mothers

M. Städtler, Contraddizione – totalità – esperienza. Sui presupposti, la forma e i problemi del concetto hegeliano di contraddizione nella Scienza della logica

Usually Hegel’s speculative concept of contradiction is analysed in the context of modern formal logic, as a commentary on problems arising from that discipline. But this leads to new problems concerning Hegel’s notion of contradictory things or concepts, because formal logic defines contradiction as a relation of propositions only. This paper, however, argues that Hegel did not connect his discussion of contradiction to modern formal logic but to the epistemological tradition of metaphysical...
