“…Similarly, regarding the effects of the educational environment, it has been demonstrated that children exposed to bullying during school years are more susceptible to develop PTSD later in life, along with other mental illnesses such as suicidal tendencies and self-injury (Dhingra et al, 2016 ). It has also been found that people who suffer from bullying in their educational environment may also be involved in bullying episodes at work later in life (Nielsen et al, 2017 ). Likewise, workplace bullying is associated with PTSD symptoms, augmented physical, mental and health problems, burnout, increased intentions to leave, and reduced job satisfaction and organizational commitment (Nielsen and Einarsen, 2012 ).…”

“…Thus, violent interpersonal treatment and unhealthy educational processes, such as bullying, or mistreatment from a teacher, can be classified as a repeated traumatizing stimuli capable of leading to PTSD (Foa et al, 2009 ), with cultural as well potentially epigenetic inheritance effects. Therefore it is plausible to hypothesize that behind reiterated stress patterns there is a cascade of interactions across different of levels of biological organization that leads to changes in behavior, with consequences in adulthood (Nielsen et al, 2017 ) and the potential to be transgenerational perpetuated through epigenetic inheritance (Figure 1 ). Therefore, due to the potential long-lasting consequences of negative as well as positive stimuli on the ontogeny of our species, is paramount to protect our children from potential noxious influences during their development.…”

Despite current advances on the relevance of environmental cues and epigenetic mechanisms in biological processes, including behavior, little attention has been paid to the potential link between epigenetic influences and educational sciences. For instance, could the learning environment and stress determine epigenetic marking, affecting students' behavior development? Could this have consequences on educational outcomes? So far, it has been shown that environmental stress influences neurological processes and behavior both in humans and rats. Through epigenetic mechanisms, offspring from stressed individuals develop altered behavior without any exposure to traumatizing experiences. Methylated DNA and noncoding RNAs regulate neurological processes such as synaptic plasticity and brain cortex development in children. The malfunctioning of these processes is associated with several neurological disorders, and these findings open up new avenues for the design of enriched environments for education and therapy. In this article, we discuss current cases of stress and behavioral disorders found in youngsters, and highlight the importance of considering epigenetic processes affecting the development of cognitive abilities and learning within the educational environment and for the development of teaching methodologies.

“…Limited evidence exists on workplace hazing’s outcomes (Josefowitz & Gadon, 1989), and research on hazing in other domains has produced a complex body of inconsistent findings, including negative outcomes (e.g., depression; Castaldelli-Maia et al, 2012; Kim, Kim, & Park, 2019), and beneficial consequences, like newcomer bonding (Winslow, 1999) and a sense of individual accomplishment (Allan et al, 2019). Workplace bullying research has consistently and repeatedly found only negative outcomes to the targeted individuals who report suffering PTSD (Nielsen, Birkeland, Hansen, Knardahl, & Heir, 2017), burnout, intentions to quit, and lowered job satisfaction (Nielsen & Einarsen, 2012). A recent study of workplace hazing has demonstrated the empirical divergence of hazing from bullying and forms of workplace socialization, in terms of these variables’ relationship with each other and each variable’s pattern of relationships with relevant outcomes (Mawritz et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of this paper is to establish a foundation for studying and managing new employee hazing in workgroups. Available empirical evidence indicates 25–75% of American employees encounter workplace hazing, but very little empirical research exists on this phenomenon. Workers are changing jobs more frequently than ever, which increases the cumulative impact and importance of new employee experiences, including hazing, a complex group-based phenomenon. Because hazing is a relatively universal social practice without a strongly established literature in the organizational sciences, we draw from multiple disciplines in reviewing and modeling the practice. The current research offers three major contributions: (a) a relatively exhaustive review of relevant empirical and theoretical work on hazing, (b) an initial, testable model for understanding workplace hazing as a multi-level phenomenon, including individual and group-level antecedents and outcomes, and (c) an outline of the need and support for considering both the dysfunctional and functional consequences of hazing, given the variety of forms it takes and reactions it evokes. Finally, we present actionable guidance for researchers seeking to study workplace hazing and discuss the organizational implications of our work for practitioners.

“…A potential application of SLALOM is to analyse data from epidemiological studies as consecutive series of events (e.g., decreases in temperature as putative causes and spikes in disease or mortality rates as putative consequences [ 26 ]), as well as from appearing and disappearing of symptoms in the course of a disease progression (or psychological condition, as, for example, in [ 27 ]) in a cohort of patients. The options ‘shifting’ start and stop time point (see the option ‘-a1bs/--anno1file_begin_shift’ in Additional file 1 : Table S1) allow detecting events (CSEs) related by assumed causality even with significant time lags.…”

SLALOM, a flexible method for the identification and statistical analysis of overlapping continuous sequence elements in sequence- and time-series data

BackgroundProtein or nucleic acid sequences contain a multitude of associated annotations representing continuous sequence elements (CSEs). Comparing these CSEs is needed, whenever we want to match identical annotations or integrate distinctive ones. Currently, there is no ready-to-use software available that provides comprehensive statistical readout for comparing two annotations of the same type with each other, which can be adapted to the application logic of the scientific question.ResultsWe have developed a method, SLALOM (for StatisticaL Analysis of Locus Overlap Method), to perform comparative analysis of sequence annotations in a highly flexible way. SLALOM implements six major operation modes and a number of additional options that can answer a variety of statistical questions about a pair of input annotations of a given sequence collection. We demonstrate the results of SLALOM on three different examples from biology and economics and compare our method to already existing software. We discuss the importance of carefully choosing the application logic to address specific scientific questions.ConclusionSLALOM is a highly versatile, command-line based method for comparing annotations in a collection of sequences, with a statistical read-out for performance evaluation and benchmarking of predictors and gene annotation pipelines. Abstraction from sequence content even allows SLALOM to compare other kinds of positional data including, for example, data coming from time series.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12859-018-2020-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
