Body awareness group therapy for patients with personality disorders. 2. Evaluation of the Body Awareness Rating Scale.

The Body Awareness Rating Scale (BARS) was developed to evaluate the treatment process of the Body Awareness Group Therapy. The BARS subscales proved to have high interrater reliability. A factor analysis revealed two factors which seemed to measure one awareness and one movement dimension. The BARS was sensitive to change. As hypothesized, the BARS improvement enlarged with increasing duration of treatment. At discharge the good BARS outcome patients had improved significantly more than the poor BARS outcome ones, both concerning symptoms and global psychopathology.

Developing a questionnaire to assess student awareness of the need to be culturally aware in clinical practice.

This study aimed to establish whether students had an awareness of the requirement to consider cultural issues in caring for patients and to identify those issues which are most difficult for students, in order to aid course development. Data was collected using previously developed questionnaires which were modified and added to for the study undertaken at the University of Leicester Medical School in February and June 1998. Thirty fourth year and 75 second year medical students completed the questionnaires. Students accepted that they as doctors have a responsibility to be aware of the different cultures within their practice. Their responses supported the introduction of sessions on cultural and racial awareness as part of the Human Diversity Module. The sessions have been designed to facilitate students to explore their own perception and understanding of culture in a challenging, relevant and enjoyable way. The questionnaire developed in this study will be used to compare student attitudes pre- and post-teaching sessions to assess any change.

The Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training's role in cancer awareness, research and training.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to describe the content for the Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness Research and Training (AANCART) with respect to Asian American demographic characteristics and their cancer burden, highlights of accomplishments in various AANCART regions, aspirations for AANCART, and an interim assessment of AANCART's activities to date. METHODS: The author compiled literature and other data references to describe the context for Asian American demographic characteristics and their cancer burden. As the AANCART Principal Investigator, he collected data from internal AANCART reports to depict highlights of accomplishments in various AANCART regions and offer evidence that AANCART's first two specific aims have been attained. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: With respect to our first specific aim, we have built an infrastructure for cancer awareness, research and training operationally at a Network-wide basis through program directors for biostatistics, community, clinical, and research and in our four original AANCART regions: New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. With respect to our second specific aim, we have established partnerships as exemplified by working collaboratively with New York's Charles B. Wang Community Health Center in securing external funding with them for a tobacco control initiative and nationally with the American Cancer Society. With respect to our third specific aim, we have been fortunate to assist at least eight junior investigators in receiving NCI-funded pilot studies. The most notable change was the transfer of AANCART's national headquarters from Columbus, Ohio to Sacramento, California along with potentially an increased diversification of Asian American ethnic groups as well as an expansion to Hawaii and Houston. CONCLUSION: As of the end of year 2 of AANCART, AANCART's two specific aims have been achieved. We are focusing on our third specific aim.

Worker awareness of exposure: industries and occupations with low awareness.

A goal of occupational health is to inform workers of hazards on their jobs. This analysis addresses this goal by identifying industries and occupations with low worker awareness of potential exposures. Industries and occupations were ranked by the greatest positive difference between the proportion of workers exposed and proportion perceiving exposure to chemical and physical hazards. Those with low awareness had the greatest difference, i.e., high exposure and low perception. This analysis was performed by adding exposure data from a national exposure survey to a national health survey with perceived exposure data. The hospital and construction industries and occupations in these industries ranked among the top five for all hazards. For example, for hospital workers the difference between proportion exposed and proportion perceiving exposure to chemicals was 62% and to radiation was 42%, and for workers in construction the difference was 54% for exposure to noise and 63% for exposure to vibration.

Phoneme awareness is a better predictor of early reading skill than onset-rime awareness.

We present the results of a short-term longitudinal study. Children in the early stages of learning to read (5 and 6 year olds) were administered three different tasks (deletion, oddity, and detection) tapping awareness of four phonological units (initial phoneme, final phoneme, onset, and rime). Measures of phoneme awareness were the best concurrent and longitudinal predictors of reading skill with onset-rime skills making no additional predictive contribution once phonemic skills were accounted for. The findings are related to recent controversy over the role of large versus small phonological units as predictors of children's reading skills.

CaLMPhosKAN: prediction of general phosphorylation sites in proteins via fusion of codon aware embeddings with amino acid aware embeddings and wavelet-based Kolmogorov-Arnold network.

MOTIVATION: The mapping from codon to amino acid is surjective due to codon degeneracy, suggesting that codon space might harbor higher information content. Embeddings from the codon language model have recently demonstrated success in various protein downstream tasks. However, predictive models for residue-level tasks such as phosphorylation sites, arguably the most studied Post-Translational Modification (PTM), and PTM sites prediction in general, have predominantly relied on representations in amino acid space. RESULTS: We introduce a novel approach for predicting phosphorylation sites by utilizing codon-level information through embeddings from the codon adaptation language model (CaLM), trained on protein-coding DNA sequences. Protein sequences are first reverse-translated into reliable coding sequences by mapping UniProt sequences to their corresponding NCBI reference sequences and extracting the exact coding sequences from their GenBank format using a dynamic programming-based global pairwise alignment. The resulting coding sequences are encoded using the CaLM encoder to generate codon-aware embeddings, which are subsequently integrated with amino acid-aware embeddings obtained from a protein language model, through an early fusion strategy. Next, a window-level representation of the site of interest, retaining the full sequence context, is constructed from the fused embeddings. A ConvBiGRU network extracts feature maps that capture spatiotemporal correlations between proximal residues within the window. This is followed by a prediction head based on a Kolmogorov-Arnold network (KAN) using the derivative of gaussian wavelet transform to generate the inference for the site. The overall model, dubbed CaLMPhosKAN, performs better than the existing approaches across multiple datasets. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: CaLMPhosKAN is publicly available at https://github.com/KCLabMTU/CaLMPhosKAN.

Is awareness of bodily change in emotion related to awareness of other bodily processes?

To what extent is reported attentiveness to bodily responses in emotion predicted by a general disposition to be attentive to one's normal, nonemotive bodily processes? University undergraduates (373 women and 167 men) completed the modified Autonomic Perception Questionnaire (APQ-R; Mandler, Mandler, & Uviller, 1958; Shields, 1984) for one of two target emotions, anger and transient anxiety, and the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ; Shields, Mallory, & Simon, 1989), a measure of attentiveness to nonemotive bodily processes. In addition, the Body subscale, part of a Love Symptom Checklist concerning symptoms of romantic love was completed by 246 of these subjects. We predicted that the two measures of attentiveness to bodily response in emotion would be more strongly related to each other than to the BAQ. Significant low positive correlations between APQ-R and BAQ scores were obtained for each sex for both anger and anxiety. Correlations between the Body subscale and the APQ-R were high, positive, and significant, but correlations with the BAQ were near zero. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that of the three variables entered (subject sex, Body subscale scores, and BAQ scores), the greatest change in explained APQ-R variance was accounted for by the Body subscale scores. This pattern of results was replicated in a second study of 56 women and 42 men. Results are discussed with reference to detected arousal in emotion and beliefs about emotion symptoms.
