Article Abstract
Frontal alpha asymmetry has been proposed as a ubiquitous marker of state and trait approach motivation, but recent meta-analyses found weak or nonexistent links with personality traits. It has been suggested that frontal asymmetry may show stronger individual differences in situations that elicit approach motivation (state-trait interaction). To investigate this with sufficient statistical power, we utilized data from the CoScience project ( = 740). Frontal asymmetry was measured during a resting period, a picture viewing task, and a guessing task, which were expected to trigger different levels of approach motivation. Results showed that frontal asymmetry was not reliably affected by task manipulations and did not relate to self-reported traits. Furthermore, Bayesian statistics and a cooperative forking path analysis were used to supplement the preregistered analyses. To conclude, this comprehensive analysis could not support the validity of frontal asymmetry as a marker of approach motivation, neither as a reliable state nor as a trait marker.

Principles of Industry-Academic Partnerships Informed by Digital Mental Health Collaboration: Mixed Methods Study.
JMIR Ment Health
September 2025
National Institute of Health and Care Research MindTech HealthTech Research Centre, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom.
Background: Cross-sector collaboration is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing complex health challenges, including those in mental health. Industry-academic partnerships play a vital role in advancing research and developing health solutions, yet differing priorities and perspectives can make collaboration complex.
Objective: This study aimed to identify key principles to support effective industry-academic partnerships, from the perspective of industry partners, and develop this into actionable guidance, which can be applied across sectors.
Exploring Women's Perceptions of Traditional Mammography and the Concept of AI-Driven Thermography to Improve the Breast Cancer Screening Journey: Mixed Methods Study.

Cancer Patients Europe, Rue de l'Industrie 24, Brussels, 1000, Belgium.
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and a leading cause of mortality in Europe. Early detection through screening reduces mortality, yet participation in mammography-based programs remains suboptimal due to discomfort, radiation exposure, and accessibility issues. Thermography, particularly when driven by artificial intelligence (AI), is being explored as a noninvasive, radiation-free alternative.

Objective: Aim: To provide a scientific rationale for various approaches to the practical application of individual motivation theories in order to develop a motivated medical workforce as the foundation for strengthening healthcare systems.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Based on comparative analysis, as well as systematic and analytical approaches to understanding selected motivation theories - namely Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, Adams's Equity Theory, Vroom's Expectancy Theory, and Deci and Ryan's Self-Determination Theory - the authors propose integrating these theories into managerial strategies.
Conclusion: Conclusions: A well-functioning healthcare workforce system requires not only a sufficient number of professionals but also effective motivation strategies based on various theories, such as those by Maslow, Herzberg, and Vroom, to enhance job satisfaction and retention.

Retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for achieving viral load suppression (VLS) among people living with HIV (PLHIV). Retention remains challenging in high-prevalence settings like Malawi. Short messaging service (SMS) interventions, particularly hybrid two-way texting (2wT), show promise in improving ART retention.
