Abstract: Background Enhancing performance in the public sector is closely tied to institutional structures, governance models, and the behavior of public officials. In the Judiciary, these factors significantly affect the effectiveness of court administration and justice delivery. Judicial governance is a complex and evolving concept encompassing standards and practices related to accountability, independence, resource management, and institutional performance, progressively integrating principles from public managemen… Show more

“…Ethical approval is not typically required for systematic review studies, as they generally analyze previously published studies or publicly available evidence (i.e., secondary data). The results and conclusions obtained will be published in a peer-reviewed journal, contributing to the advancement of the research area and supporting further investigation [ 23 ].…”

“…Prospective registration plays a crucial role in disclosing the study's methodological details, enabling peers to verify whether all procedures were conducted and reported as initially planned [ 17 ]. Any amendments to the protocol during the study will be updated in the registration record and clearly reported in the final manuscript presenting the systematic review results [ 23 ]. Furthermore, this type of study does not require ethical approval, as it involves no direct interaction with human participants and relies solely on secondary data from previously published sources [ 24 ].…”

“…This systematic review will identify and gather scientific evidence from multidisciplinary databases – Scopus™ and Web of Science™ Core Collection – and specific health databases – MEDLINE/PubMed® via the National Library of Medicine® interface, Embase™, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL®) via EBSCOhost. For systematic searches, a pre-established search string will be employed to identify studies aligned with the focus of this systematic review [ 23 ]. Furthermore, the research team will adapt the search strategy for each selected database, incorporating all identified keywords and indexing terms [ 22 ].…”

“…The search strategy for this protocol was developed based on the main concepts of the research question and the study's inclusion criteria. To enhance accuracy, the syntax will be adapted to meet the specific requirements of each database, utilizing advanced search features [ 23 ]. The searches were performed within the metadata fields of titles, abstracts, and keywords in the selected scientific databases [ 25 ].…”

“…The search string was developed by incorporating synonyms, related terms, variations between British and American English, singular and plural forms, and other relevant linguistic nuances [ 23 ]. To maximize the retrieval of pertinent studies, indexed terms were combined with their synonyms or equivalent terms using the Boolean operator "OR", and these groups were subsequently linked with the "AND" operator [ 25 ].…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.
