This article argues that current legal frameworks fail to protect the cognitive process of thought formation from non-invasive algorithmic manipulation, and proposes operationalizing "mental self-determination" as a specific neuroright with a four-factor threshold to legally distinguish unlawful manipulation from legitimate influence.
A cross-sectional study of 139 parents in Indonesia reveals that general parenting competence and perceived family support are weakly associated with specific sexual-violence prevention behaviors among parents of adolescents with intellectual disabilities, suggesting a significant gap between broad parenting resources and domain-specific safeguarding actions.
Through a comparative study of France and Senegal, this article argues that the agricultural policy subsystem's dominant actors and institutional arrangements mediate adaptation outcomes by creating a trade-off where instruments embedded in core sectors enjoy stability but subordinate adaptation to productivist goals, while those at the margins align better with adaptation objectives yet remain institutionally fragile.
This article proposes "complexity suppression" as a mechanism-based institutional theory explaining how governments' necessary simplification of complex realities into authoritative representations can lead to policy failure by excluding critical causal dynamics, filtering contradictory feedback, and accumulating cognitive debt, ultimately arguing that effective governance requires a disciplined balance between simplification for action and the preservation of sufficient systemic variety for learning and correction.
This mixed-methods study of Ghanaian Colleges of Education demonstrates that structured, collaborative Teacher Professional Development significantly enhances the fidelity of Bachelor of Education curriculum implementation by improving tutor competency, aligning assessments with National Teachers' Standards, and reducing inter-college disparities through systematic mentoring and evaluation.
Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis on interviews with four Chinese international students in the UK, this study reveals that psychotherapy-related stigma is a relational process where participants navigate compromised normality, selectively manage self-disclosure to protect themselves, and endure emotional costs from misrecognition, highlighting the need for services to address power dynamics and foster felt safety.
This paper introduces the Survey Data Recycling 2.0 (SDR 2.0) database as a comprehensive resource for subjective well-being research, detailing its harmonized individual-level data across 156 countries and demonstrating its potential to advance cross-national and longitudinal studies on topics such as the Easterlin paradox and the determinants of life satisfaction.
This article argues that despite comprehensive EU regulations and penalties, the fragmentation of regulatory authority across supranational, national, and regional levels has created accountability gaps that enable criminal networks to exploit illegal waste trafficking, leading to persistent municipal waste crises in semi-peripheral regions like Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria.
This longitudinal study of Chinese professional football players reveals that while family support directly enhances well-being, support from significant others and friends promotes well-being by fostering communication resilience processes, with continuity specifically aiding meaning in life and change driving life satisfaction.
This study's first specification-curve analysis of Indian adolescents reveals that the perceived link between social media use and mental health is highly dependent on measurement choices, with attitudinal and intensity-based metrics showing significant but small associations while objective usage counts remain largely inert.
