Palamás, Echevete y yo o el lago asfaltado (Palamás, Echevete and I or the asphalted lake), Mexican Diego Cañedo’s second novel (1945), elaborates the time travel to the Mexican past. The sci-fi theme of the novel sustains a social criticism, and imitates H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine plot. In this essay, the sociocritical part of Cañedo’s work is studied, on one hand, because it seems to respond to the social problems of the period 1934-1946; and, on the other hand, because the relations established with Wells’ novel.

Menopause is a process of transition from a productive period to a non-productive period. This period affects the psychological aspect, reminding him that he will grow old because his reproductive organs are no longer functioning and worries about other things that may arise accompanying the end of his reproductive period. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of positive mental time travel counseling to reduce maternal anxiety in dealing with menopause in the working area of ??the Small Bridge Public Health Center. This type of research is true experiments with a posttest-only control design approach. The population of this study were all mothers aged 40-50 years. The sample in this study were 96 people, 48 experimental groups and 48 control groups. The sampling technique was accidental sampling where the sample in the study was mothers aged 40-50 years who were in the area of ??the Small Bridge Health Center. The analysis technique taken is the Paired e t-test statistical test. Univariate results, namely the average anxiety of mothers in dealing with menopause in the group given positive mental time travel counseling is 10.19. The average maternal anxiety in dealing with menopause in the group that was not given positive mental time travel counseling was 19.29. The results of the bivariate analysis obtained a p-value of 0.000 <0.005. It was concluded that positive mental time travel counseling was effective in reducing maternal anxiety in dealing with menopause in the working area of ??the Small Bridge Public Health Center. It is hoped that positive mental time travel counseling can be used as an effort to improve psychological conditions for a good quality of life for postmenopausal women.

From the Post-structuralist perspective of the hybridity of genre-modes, this article’s goal is to explore the connection between Science Fiction and the Gothic; more specifically, from Brian Aldiss and David Wingrove’s idea, in Trillion Year Spree (1986), that Science Fiction is created by the Gothic, we tried to argue that Science Fiction can also create the Gothic. Explicitly, we argued that, through the paradoxes of narratives that work with the concept of non-linear Time Travel, Science Fiction creates Gothic effects and leads to Gothic results, once the very idea of the paradox already is inherently reactionary to the Enlightenment’s scientism and rationalism and, therefore, Gothic in its very uncanny conception.

In this work, I examined different perspectives on the film Your Name, accompanying these notions by the theme of gender opposition and its relation to the ideas of body swap and time travel. The main conclusions are drawn as follows: The concept of ‘body swap’ in Your Name give ‘time travel’ a new definition. It helps the two characters to have recognition to their identities. Gender stereotypes in Japanese lead to the protagonists being questioned because of body exchange, which promotes the growth of the role. Hence, in Your Name, the idea of body swap does not only refer to gender and identities or time swap. It is the exchange from environments to characters’ mental state to traditions, Shinkai motivates the audiences to have a transpositional consideration.

AbstractEncephalitis has an estimated prevalence of ≤0.01%. Even with extensive diagnostic work-up, an infectious etiology is identified or suspected in <50% of cases, suggesting a role for etiologically unclear, noninfectious processes. Mild encephalitis runs frequently unnoticed, despite slight neuroinflammation detectable postmortem in many neuropsychiatric illnesses. A widely unexplored field in humans, though clearly documented in rodents, is genetic brain inflammation, particularly that associated with myelin abnormalities, inducing primary white matter encephalitis. We hypothesized that “autoimmune encephalitides” may result from any brain inflammation concurring with the presence of brain antigen-directed autoantibodies, e.g., against N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor NR1 (NMDAR1-AB), which are not causal of, but may considerably shape the encephalitis phenotype. We therefore immunized young female Cnp−/− mice lacking the structural myelin protein 2′-3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (Cnp) with a “cocktail” of NMDAR1 peptides. Cnp−/− mice exhibit early low-grade inflammation of white matter tracts and blood–brain barrier disruption. Our novel mental-time-travel test disclosed that Cnp−/− mice are compromised in what–where–when orientation, but this episodic memory readout was not further deteriorated by NMDAR1-AB. In contrast, comparing wild-type and Cnp−/− mice without/with NMDAR1-AB regarding hippocampal learning/memory and motor balance/coordination revealed distinct stair patterns of behavioral pathology. To elucidate a potential contribution of oligodendroglial NMDAR downregulation to NMDAR1-AB effects, we generated conditional NR1 knockout mice. These mice displayed normal Morris water maze and mental-time-travel, but beam balance performance was similar to immunized Cnp−/−. Immunohistochemistry confirmed neuroinflammation/neurodegeneration in Cnp−/− mice, yet without add-on effect of NMDAR1-AB. To conclude, genetic brain inflammation may explain an encephalitic component underlying autoimmune conditions.

We portray the valuation of retirement savings in terms of a mental time travel journey in which a proposed contribution to a pension plan is projected forward to the plan member’s retirement date and this projected value is then discounted back to today, thereby giving a present or personal value. We set this within a broader framework of pension planning, which seeks to smooth consumption over the lifecycle. We explain how two psychological biases—exponential growth bias and present bias—can lead to a difference between the initial value of a pension contribution and its present value, such a difference reflecting an asymmetry between projection and discounting, and how such a difference might lead to inadequate retirement savings and hence to a lower than desired standard of living in retirement. We consider how the two biases might be mitigated.

In the past 20 years, research in animal cognition has challenged the belief that complex cognitive processes are uniquely human. At the forefront of these challenges has been research on mental time travel and future planning in jays. We tested whether Canada jays ( Perisoreus canadensis ) demonstrated future planning, using a procedure that has produced evidence of future planning in California scrub-jays. Future planning in this procedure is caching in locations where the bird will predictably experience a lack of food in the future. Canada jays showed no evidence of future planning in this sense and instead cached in the location where food was usually available, opposite to the behaviour described for California scrub-jays. We provide potential explanations for these differing results adding to the recent debates about the role of complex cognition in corvid caching strategies.
