Research has so far mainly focused on the role of individual stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination. However, there is growing evidence that, beyond the "biased" acts of prejudiced individuals, structural factors related to the very functioning of institutions and organizations can play a role in the reproduction of social inequalities. Indeed, in industrialized countries, society is structured in a way that reflects the perspective of, is organized by, and benefits the dominant groups. In this Research Topic, we propose to bring together researchers who study how institutional ideologies and practices promote norms, rules and opportunities that favor dominant groups and disadvantage dominated groups. This question can be tackled by work investigating how institutional practices (e.g., grading, tracking, recruitment, ...) and ideologies (e.g., meritocracy, individualism, protestant work ethic, ...) shape the psychological experience of (dis)advantaged people. Moreover, another interesting venue is represented by work investigating how the institutional practices and ideologies are enacted by the agents (e.g., teachers, recruiters, leaders, ...). Taking the perspective of agents allows to investigate how institutional functioning constrains the actual opportunities they provide to (dis)advantaged individuals. This could also highlight how institutional ideologies and practices are incorporated by agents, thus revealing mechanisms of change vs. perpetuation of the institutional functioning.PsychologybicsscEducationgenderimmigrantInstitutionsSocial Classsocial inequalitiesSocial reproductionStructural barriersPsychologyFrederique Autinauth1331578Fabrizio ButeraauthBOOK9910161648303321Institutional determinants of social inequality3040450UNINA04300nam 2201081z- 450 991055712950332120210501(CKB)5400000000040759(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/68363(oapen)doab68363(EXLCZ)99540000000004075920202105d2021 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCannabisNeuropsychiatry and Its Effects on Brain and BehaviorBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20211 online resource (204 p.)3-03943-995-2 3-03943-996-0 Over the years, there has been increasing interest into the public health impact of cannabis use, especially by young adults. This follows the evidence of a growing prevalence of regular cannabis use worldwide, with approximately 200 million users. Recreational cannabis use, especially a frequent use of products with high levels of its main psychoactive ingredient delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 9-THC), can cause dependence and have transient and long-lasting detrimental mental health effects, also negatively impacting cognitive processing and brain function and metabolism. In regular users, the development of tolerance to some of the effects of cannabis, especially the pleasurable ones, may lead to progressively heavier use in order to obtain the same effects in terms of their intensity, with higher health risks. However, the Cannabis Sativa plant contains different chemicals with different potential effects. In this regard, cannabidiol has gained interest because of its potential therapeutic properties, in line with evidence that CBD and Δ9-THC may exhibit opposite effects at the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), Δ9-THC being a partial agonist and CBD an antagonist/inverse agonist. Different cannabinoids may modulate human brain function and behavior in different ways, with different risk-benefit profiles.CannabisMedicine and NursingbicsscNeurosciencesbicsscadolescentsaerobic fitnessAfrican Americanage of onsetalcoholBDNFblackcannabinoidscannabiscannabis usecannabis use disordercannabis-associated psychosisCB1CB2clinical high riskcortical surface structurecravingcue reactivitydelta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolDelta-9-tetrahydrocannabinoldisabilitydronabinolEEGEEG functional connectivityeLORETAendocannabinoid systemepisodic memoryexecutive functionsexercisefMRIfrontal alpha asymmetryfunctional magnetic resonance imaginggendergeneticsgyrificationinhibitory controlinteroceptionmarijuanamarijuana usememorymigraine: chronic painn/anegative reinforcementolder adultopioidsplaceboproblematic cannabis usepsychotic disorderrandomized controlled trialresting stateschizophreniasurface areasystematic reviewTHCtraumatic injurytriple networktriptansMedicine and NursingNeurosciencesColizzi Marcoedt1291839Bhattacharyya SagnikedtColizzi MarcoothBhattacharyya SagnikothBOOK9910557129503321Cannabis3021984UNINA
