Improving child mental health and learning outcomes and reducing stigma and discrimination in conflict setting: findings from a cluster randomized controlled trial of a classroom‐based psychosocial intervention in rural primary schools in Afghanistan

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Conflict and crises have long‐lasting and dramatic consequences on the mental health of children. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a psychosocial intervention on child mental health in Afghanistan. Methods A two‐arm cluster‐randomized controlled trial was conducted in 83 rural primary schools within three provinces of Afghanistan.

The futuristic manifolds of REM sleep

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Since one of its first descriptions 70 years ago, rapid eye movement sleep has continually inspired and excited new generations of sleep researchers. Despite significant advancements in understanding its neurocircuitry, underlying mechanisms and microstates, many questions regarding its function, especially beyond the early neurodevelopment ...

Tone‐Evoked Sleep Electroencephalographic Slow Oscillations as a Function of Peripheral Rhythms: New Insights Into the Brain–Heart Integration

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that acoustic stimulation, a common neuromodulation technique, can enhance slow‐wave activity (SWA), which is associated with immune, autonomic nervous system activity and cognitive health benefits. Despite some disagreement, many studies suggest that maximising tone‐evoked SWA depends on the timing of the acoustic ...

The Effect of Closed‐Loop Auditory Stimulation on Memory Consolidation and Sleep Physiology in an Ecological Setting

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Slow wave sleep plays a crucial role in overnight memory consolidation, with slow oscillations serving as a critical mechanism. Recent studies have identified closed‐loop auditory stimulation as an effective method to enhance slow oscillatory activity during slow wave sleep, thereby facilitating memory consolidation.

Differential Nap‐To‐Nap Stability of Sleep Spindles, Slow Waves, and their Temporal Coupling: An Exploratory Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Slow waves and sleep spindles characterise non‐rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and support cognitive and plasticity‐related functions. While their stability across nights is well established, less is known about their consistency across daytime naps.

Multiword sequences do not predict speaking proficiency in dialogue: A pair‐level analysis

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study revisited the commonly held view that the use of multiword sequences (MWSs) is a reliable predictor of L2 speaking proficiency in monologue, by extending the investigation from monologic to dialogic speaking contexts. We accessed dialogic performance data from 127 test‐takers of the Test of English for Educational Purposes assessed ...

Psychometric properties of the 12-item short form health survey version 2 among general Thai samples: a Rasch analysis

Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice
Background Although the 12-item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) is suitable for measuring health status in the general Thai population, it has been evaluated using classical test theory. Rasch analysis, however, offers a psychometric testing
