We present a new approach, Mind Genomics, to understanding the needs of prospective users with respect to a teaching APP designed to promote improved memorization of important texts. Using small-scale experiments, using the systematically varied messages in the form of stories or vignettes, Mind Genomics uncovers the customer-requirements of the APP. These vignettes are combinations of ideas about the product, its use, and the benefits to be obtained. The pattern of reactions to these vignettes reveals which specific features and benefits ‘drive interest.’ Mind Genomics does not require the respondent to intellectualize the need, an intellectualization which introduces response biases, and perhaps demand an answer that the respondent may not know. Rather, the deconstruction of the pattern of the immediate responses assigned almost automatically and without deep thinking, clearly reveals the underlying needs. The results from this small-scale study suggest three radically different mind-set segments. Mind Genomics, finds application where the respondent’s job is to make decisions, and where one would like to reduce the biases due to what the respondent expects the appropriate answer to be. We show how Mind Genomics can become an early-stage, rapid, affordable, and scalable system for deep understanding of human judgments.

We introduce a system to rapidly explore a topic, focusing both on the direct conscious judgment of information (cognition), and on the time it takes the mind to process the same information (neuroprocessing.) The system begins with the experimental design of easily constructed mixtures of messages. With human respondents, the system measures the cognitive response to these mixtures (ratings), and at the same time, the processing rate of these same mixtures (response-time to assign a rating.) The system is affordable and scalable, working with as few as 10 respondents to as many as several thousand. The outcome data reveal what messages are important, and the response-time to process these same messages. The analysis is virtually automatic, providing a simple, readily used new tool to study decision making. All the tools are standard, easily used by professionals and novices alike, with the results immediately presented in the format of data tables and a PowerPoint® report ready for distribution.

This study assessed the variation of concerns about expressing emotions in social relations, emerging from the increasing use of smartphones. Fifty respondents from the continental U.S.A participated through an application of Mind-Genomics Science. Two mind-set segments emerged. People in the first mind-set were concerned about the increasingly use of smartphones for social interaction, and the need for instant feedback. People in this segment stressed the need to put on a mask when presenting only a happy successful face. This segment was also preoccupied with our changing language skills, and with the increasing lack of privacy because everything one with smartphones is trackable. People in the second mind-set segment expressed concerns regarding the negative social effects of using smartphones to express emotions: less interaction at meals, isolation from personal relationships, fewer expressions of feelings, losing patience more quickly, and emerging health issues. A PVI (personal viewpoint identifier) is presented to allow discovery of these two mind-sets among new individuals, enabling a deeper understanding of the mind-sets by future researchers.

Traditionally doctoral students are trained to pursue tenure-track positions in research-intensive institutions. However, a survey of 914 PhD alumni at a public research university in a diverse array of disciplines finds that students move across employment sectors over a 15-year period. This study used a three-tier taxonomy to classify both shortand long-term employment outcomes based on employment sector, career type and job sector for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Social and Behavioral Sciences and Education (SBSE) doctoral alumni. The study is unique in that demographic information such as race, gender and citizenship status and academic performance measures were examined to gain a deeper understanding of career trajectories. The findings indicate differing career paths based on demographic characteristics, but also finds there is no correlation between academic performance metrics such as GPA and GRE scores and job placements in academia or outside of academia. This has significant implications for doctoral training and suggests that graduate programs must prepare students for both academic and alternative careers, particularly as tenure-track positions and U.S. federal research dollars continue to shrink. This study also adds to a growing body of literature on the need for rigorous data collection, and transparency to help students make informed choices about PhD training and career pathways.

In the era of implementing quality standards as a mandatory process toward licensing, we raise the issue of implementing a generic standards for hospitals, or organizations, in general. Should we set different standards for different types of hospitals that implement to standards? This case study explores the specific issues that raise the dilemma. Regarding the fact that this hospital is the first mental health hospital in Israel to adopt the quality standards, it is crucial to understand the issue of adjusting the solutions for quality care.

Small, controlled doses of ischemia induced in a healthy limb has been demonstrated to strengthen the body’s tolerance to larger more toxic doses. Ischemic conditioning utilising protocols of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) and physiological ischemic training (PIT) trigger mechanisms of cellular adaptation to ischemia. These protocols may represent practical and translatable therapies for neurological diseases, such as mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease, that have an ischemic or inflammatory basis. Whilst the current literature supports the neuroprotective and anti-hypertensive effects of RIC and PIT, to date there has been no investigation into the effects of PIT utilising isometric exercise training (IET) on cognitive performance outcomes in an elderly neuropathological cohort. However, it seems feasible that the anti-hypertensive effects elicited through IET might be a stimulus for improvements in systemic and neurovascular circulation and as a result, enhanced cognitive performance.
