Creative attributes of branded content: analysis of awarded pieces in “El Sol” (2015-2021) Atributos creativos del branded content: análisis de piezas premiadas en “El Sol” (2015-2021)

Resumen El branded content se ha impuesto como una de las estrategias creativas de las marcas más eficaces para lograr un contacto cómplice con sus públicos. Las exigencias del panorama comunicativo actual han obligado a los anunciantes a apostar por la creatividad para ofrecer contenidos de valor que involucren al target en la construcción misma de la marca. El propósito de esta investigación es identificar y explicar los atributos creativos del branded content mediante una metodología cualitativa. Para ello, se ha diseñado un modelo de registro analítico, fundamentado en teorías previas, que se ha aplicado a una muestra constituida por las 23 piezas galardonadas con un gran premio y/o un oro en el Festival “El Sol” durante sus últimas seis ediciones. Los resultados permiten delinear un patrón creativo de éxito en las estrategias de branded content, que ha permanecido estable en los últimos años, y responde a contenidos con objetivos afectivos, a menudo apoyados en matices comportamentales y/o cognitivos; insights que combinan, principalmente, aspectos emocionales y culturales, y que articulan promesas en forma de beneficios para el consumidor; argumentaciones emocionales; tonos cercanos y empáticos que utilizan formatos como el storytelling o la analogía; y conceptos indirectos para transmitir las promesas.
The Effect of Needle Reuse on Piglet Skin Puncture Force

The study investigated whether the repeat use of needles used to inject piglets with iron, influences the force required to puncture into piglet cadaver skin. Pig units (n = 31) were surveyed on needle reuse and injection practices, and these findings informed subsequent laboratory-based experiments on needle puncture force into piglet cadaver tissues. A 21 G 5/8” needle was reported as the most used needle type (67.7%), with 80.6% reporting needle reuse; 38.7% changed the needle between litters or earlier if damaged, 16.1% every three litters and 22.5% when it felt blunt or damaged, after each injection session or when changing the bottle of iron solution. There was a significant difference in puncture force between the 1st and 36th use (p < 0.05), and between the 1st and 100th use (p = 0.0015), but not between the 1st and 12th or 36th use (p > 0.999 and p = 0.8313, respectively). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging showed appreciable damage to the needle tip after 12 uses. The repeat use of needles in piglet cadavers increased the force of needle puncture compared to first-time use. When extrapolated to live animals, the use of blunt needles has the potential to cause pain and distress.
Can managerial (over)confidence lead firms to bankruptcy? Evidence from the UK

This paper empirically investigates the relationship between CEO confidence levels and the probability of bankruptcy. We postulate that the relationship depends on the range of the managerial confidence. Specifically, we argue that there exists a range of CEO confidence, which associated with lower likelihood of bankruptcy, as well as a range, which is associated with a greater probability of bankruptcy. In our analysis, we employ a discrete time hazard model to analyse the survival of UK non-financial firms during the period 2000-2015. We measure CEO confidence by incorporating the ownership and share dealings of CEOs in their own firms. In the analysis, we consider three distinct levels of confidence (low, moderate and high) and investigate the effect that they exert in the bankruptcy probability. We find that firms that are managed by overconfident (moderate) CEOs are more (less) likely to go bankrupt. Overall, the analysis suggests incorporating the measures of managerial confidence improves the predictive power of bankruptcy prediction models.

A tutorial for computer scientists on finite extensive games with perfect information

We provide a self-contained introduction to ﬁnite extensive games with perfect information. In these games players proceed in turns having, at each stage, ﬁnitely many moves to their disposal, each play always ends, and in each play the players have complete knowledge of the previously made moves. Almost all discussed results are well-known, but often they are not presented in an optimal form. Also, they usually appear in the literature aimed at economists or mathematicians, so the algorithmic or logical aspects are underrepresented.
IMPLI: Investigating NLI Models’ Performance on Figurative Language

Natural language inference (NLI) has been widely used as a task to train and evaluate models for language understanding. However, the ability of NLI models to perform inferences requiring understanding of figurative language such as idioms and metaphors remains understudied. We introduce the IMPLI (Idiomatic and Metaphoric Paired Language Inference) dataset, an English dataset consisting of paired sentences spanning idioms and metaphors. We develop novel methods to generate 24k semiautomatic pairs as well as manually creating 1.8k gold pairs. We use IMPLI to evaluate NLI models based on RoBERTa fine-tuned on the widely used MNLI dataset. We then show that while they can reliably detect entailment relationship between figurative phrases with their literal counterparts, they perform poorly on similarly structured examples where pairs are designed to be non-entailing. This suggests the limits of current NLI models with regard to understanding figurative language and this dataset serves as a benchmark for future improvements in this direction.
Investor Sentiment and Size Effect

This paper uses the two-stage least square method and uses the monthly data of investor sentiment and size effect from 2003 to 2019. Different from the linear model used in previous studies, this paper, based on the nonlinear model, explores the relationship between investor sentiment and size effect. The study finds that investor sentiment has explanatory power to size effect and they take on an inverted U-shaped relationship. Compared with the rising period of investor sentiment, the falling period of investor sentiment is more sensitive to size effect. In addition, this paper uses an alternative variable ISI of investor sentiment, and its empirical results are still robust.
Federated Unsupervised Clustering with Generative Models

We consider the problem of clustering unlabeled datasets in the federated environment, where statistical heterogeneity can exist across clients. Compared to the centralized setting, the model-based solution for this problem remains relatively unex-plored, possibly due to increased difﬁculty of training models with FedAvg algorithm under highly heterogeneous setting. A recently proposed Iterative Federated Clustering Algorithm (IFCA) addresses this issue by training multiple models that captures each cluster, and showed its effectiveness on super- vised datasets, for the setting when the data are i.i. d. within the same client but separated across the clients. In this work, we develop UIFCA using generative models with IFCA framework, that solves for a more general setting where the data in the same client can also come from different clusters. For synthetic data, we observe that our method can correctly re- cover the cluster information of individual datapoints. We also provide analysis of our method on MNIST dataset.
Learning L2 by Utilizing Dictionary Strategies: Learner Autonomy and Learning Strategies

The research aimed to discover what strategies learners employed in using dictionaries and examine the EFL learners’ perspectives in using dictionaries to learn English. Dictionaries were considered meaningful by EFL learners as they were central devices that assisted learning second-language vocabulary. However, not many researchers have investigated the use of these three dictionary strategies in the English for Foreign Language (EFL) context, especially in Indonesia. The data were collected using dictionary strategy questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. One hundred forty-eight students from an Indonesian higher education institution completed a questionnaire survey voluntarily, and then they were selected as samples regarding purposive sampling that typically represented the population. The questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first asked for participants’ personal information and provided several statements from Gu and Johnson about dictionary strategies. The second solicited their opinion about using a dictionary, translated in the Indonesian language. The results show that Indonesian students are aware of how to use dictionaries for comprehension, extended, looking-up strategies, and exploring their beliefs about applying dictionary strategies. These results can help language teachers have a deeper perspective on students’ dictionary strategies in learning so that educators can use those three main dictionary strategies. One such strategy is that teachers can introduce the approaches to their students either implicitly or explicitly by designing meaningful assignments and providing relevant activities and tasks for the students. Therefore, deciding to use a dictionary to overcome the issue is one of the best ways to deal with vocabulary acquisition as it offers more benefits.
The relationship between personality dimensions and problematic Internet use in children aged 11 to 14 years

Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is de ined as a person’s inability to self-regulate Internet usage. This addiction can have a negative in luence on mental and physical health, as well as on quality of life. This phenomenon of PIU has arisen as a result of technological development and has become a worldwide issue. As a form of addictive behaviour, PIU manifests itself through poorly controlled behaviour concerning computer use, Internet access, online gambling, gaming, etc., which leads to distress. Children and young people are particularly susceptible to this type of addiction. Relevant research in the ield has identi ied several risk factors that may in luence the occurrence of this type of addiction. Personality traits may be one of the risk factors. The aim of this study is to explore the interconnection between personality traits based on the Five-Factor Personality Model (FFM) and problematic Internet use and to explore which personality traits may be protective and which may be considered risk factors. Research data were collected for the purpose of standardization and cultural adaptation of psychological instruments for children. The research is based on an extracted number of 102 respondents from a representative sample of primary school students aged 11 to 14 years. Research is ongoing, and partial data is presented in this paper. Problematic Internet usage was measured with the short version of the Youth Version of the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire, which includes 9 questions (PIUQ-9). The full version of this instrument has 18 questions. This scale is on 5-point Likert scale, with a minimum total score 9 and a maximum of 45. It was developed by Demetrovics, Szeredi, & Rózsa (2008). This scale has three subscales: obsession, neglect, and control disorder. The Big Five Questionnaire for children (BFQ-C) has been used for measuring personality traits. This instrument was developed by Barbaranelli et al. (2003). This is a 65-item questionnaire, 5-point Likert scale with 13 items related to each of the ive dimensions of openness/intellect, conscientiousness, extraversion/energy, agreeableness, neuroticism (OCEAN). Findings from this Macedonian study identify the relevant in luence of personality traits on problematic Internet usage (PIU). Four personality traits can be considered as protective factors (extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness), and one (emotional instability) as a risk factor for problematic usage of the Internet.
Comparative effects of psychotropic medications on sleep architecture: a retrospective review of diagnostic polysomnography sleep parameters

ABSTRACT Objective: To study the effects of different psychotropic drugs on sleep architecture and sleep-related disorders. Material and Methods: In this retrospective review of 405 consecutive de-identified diagnostic polysomnograms performed at a sleep laboratory from 2007 until 2011, we grouped 347 polysomnograms into five categories: controls, antidepressants (AD), antidepressants + anticonvulsants (ADAC), antidepressants + antipsychotics (ADAP), antidepressants + anticonvulsants + antipsychotics (ADACP). We conducted pairwise comparisons for demographic characteristics, medical history, specific psychotropic medication uses and sleep architecture variables, and adjusted for multiple testing. We used logistic regression to determine the odds ratio of having elevated apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and periodic limb movement index (PLMI) within each group as compared to controls. Results: Compared to controls, all groups had a significantly higher prevalence of benzodiazepines and trazodone use. AD and ADACP had significantly longer REM latency and lower REM percentage of total sleep time compared to controls. ADAP had a significantly lower AHI compared to controls, but that association was lost in the regression model. AD was associated with a higher PLMI compared to controls. Conclusion: Psychotropic polypharmacy does not seem to be associated with significantly deleterious effects on sleep architecture. Adjunct anticonvulsants or antipsychotics to antidepressants may protect against periodic limb movement disorder.
HandyRef-K: Comparison of the Latest Handheld Auto Refracto-keratometer with Retinomax and Plusoptix in Patients Younger than Three Years of Age

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to compare the refractive error measurements of pediatric patients performed with a Plusoptix A09 photorefractor (PO; Plusoptix AG, Nuremberg, Germany), a Retinomax K-plus 3 (RTX; Right Group, Tokyo, Japan), and the new handheld auto refracto-keratometer, the Nidek HandyRef-K (HDY; Nidek SA, Créteil, France), and to evaluate the intermethods agreement. Methods: A total of 194 eyes of 194 children were included in the study. All of the children underwent refraction measurement with the PO before cycloplegia and 2 autorefractors were used after cycloplegia: the RTX and the HDY. Results: The mean age of the patients was 16.65±10.04 months (range: 3-34 months). There were no statistically significant differences between the spherical values (SV) or cylindrical axis values (CAV) measured with the PO (SV: 1.61±1.79 diopters [D]; CAV: 94.25±72.47 D), the RTX (SV: 1.91±2.06 D; CAV: 94.3±73.44 D), and the HDY (SV: 1.89±2.04 D; CAV: 93.55±73.71 D) (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the cylindrical values (CV) assessed with the RTX (CV: -0.97±0.75 D) and the HDY (CV: -1.11±0.76 D) (p=0.003) and the HDY and the PO (CV: -0.92±0.68 D)(p=0.002), while there was no statistically significant difference between the values determined with the RTX and the PO (p>0.05). Statistically significant differences were demonstrated for spherical equivalent values (SEV) obtained with the RTX (SEV: 1.43±1.97 D) and the PO (SEV: 1.15±1.74 D) (p=0.02), and the HDY (SEV: 1.34±1.95 D) and the PO (p=0.03), but no significant difference was found between the RTX and the HDY values (p>0.05). Conclusion: No significant difference was found between the SEV measured by the RTX and the HDY, but the PO was significantly less hyperopic than the RTX and the HDY. The CV measured by HDY was higher than that of other devices. These devices can be used for screening in crowded pediatric ophthalmology clinics and may be an easier way of measuring refractive errors in children younger than 3 years of age, but high SEV and CV results should serve as an alert to physicians. It should also be kept in mind that cycloplegic retinoscopy is still the gold standard and these alternative methods can only be used for screening. The prescription of eyeglasses should not be made without cycloplegic retinoscopy.
High-Intensity Interval Training Among Heart Failure Patients and Heart Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review

High-intensity interval training (HIIT), an exercise training modality of cardiac rehabilitation, has shown growing evidence of improving cardiovascular patients' prognosis and health outcomes. This study aimed to identify and summarize the effects of HIIT in heart failure (HF) patients, heart transplantation (HTx) recipients, and HF patients before and after HTx. This systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. For the past five years, a systematic search was done using PubMed, PubMed Central, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases on September 15, 2021. Studies were selected based on the following predefined eligibility criteria: English-language randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, which included HF patients and HTx patients, and assessment of effects HIIT. The relevant data were extracted to a predefined template. Consequently, quality assessment was done using each study's most commonly used assessment tools. The initial search generated 551 studies. Nine studies were included in the final selection - four RCTs, one cohort, one quasi-experimental study, two systematic reviews with meta-analyses, and one narrative review. HIIT was found to be generally superior or similar with other exercise training on VO2 peak, heart rate, LVEF, cardiac biomarkers, vascular function, blood pressure, body composition, and adverse events in HF patients and the aforementioned with QoL among HTx recipients. Data on cardiac remodeling and QoL of HF patients were inconclusive.
Complete mitochondrial genome of large dragonfly (Macromia amphigena)

Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome of Macromia amphigena (Odonata; Macromiidae; Macromia) was sequenced and found to be 15,594 bp in length including 37 genes (thirteen protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and a non-coding region). The overall GC content of the mitochondrial genome for M. amphigena was 28.4%. A phylogenetic analysis conducted for 13 species within the order Odonata suggested that Macromia daimoji is the most closely related to M. amphigena.
The indirect impact of heart rate variability on cold pressor pain tolerance and intensity through psychological distress in individuals with chronic pain: the Tromsø Study

Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. The hypoalgesic impact of cardiovascular regulatory systems on evoked pain responsiveness in those with chronic pain is conveyed via the indirect effects of psychological distress. Abstract Introduction: Chronic pain (CP) patients often display lower heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS), which are associated with increased evoked pain intensity and decreased pain tolerance. Objective: The purpose of this study was to test whether the association between low levels of HRV and BRS and increased evoked pain responsiveness in individuals with CP is mediated by psychological distress and whether this mediation is sex dependent. Methods: The sample consisted of 877 participants in Wave 6 of the Tromsø population study who reported clinically meaningful CP. Resting HRV and BRS parameters were derived from continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure recordings. Psychological distress was assessed using the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-10. After cardiovascular assessment, participants completed a 106-second cold pressor task (3°C bath), which assessed cold pressor pain intensity (CPI) and cold pressor pain tolerance (CPT). Results: In the full CP sample, mediation analyses showed significant indirect effects, without direct effects, of HRV and BRS on both CPT and CPI via psychological distress. When stratified by sex, significant indirect effects via psychological distress were only found in males for the impact of rMSSD on CPT, the impact of SDNN on CPT, and the impact of BRS on CPT via psychological distress. Moderated mediation analyses revealed that there were no significant sex differences in the indirect effects of HRV and BRS on both CPT and CPI via psychological distress. Conclusions: The hypoalgesic impact of cardiovascular regulatory systems on evoked pain responses is conveyed via the indirect effects of psychological distress.
Morphological characterization and sexual dimorphism of the antennal sensilla in Bactericera gobica Loginova (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)—a scanning and transmission electron microscopic study

Bactericera gobica is the major pest of Goji berry plants and causes severe damage. Psyllids mainly use the antennal sensilla to recognize olfactory cues necessary to find host plants and mates. However, the structure and function of the antenna and the antennal sensilla of B. gobica remains previously unexplored. Here, we identify the external and internal morphology of the antennal sensilla of B. gobica using both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We found seven types of sensilla on the filiform antennae, including apical setae (LAS, SAS), sensilla basiconica (SB1, SB2), sensilla campaniform (SCA), sensilla chaetica (ChS1, ChS2), cavity sensilla (CvS1, CvS2), antennal rhinaria (AR1, AR2), and sensilla trichodea (ST). Five of these sensilla types—apical setae, sensilla basiconica, sensilla chaetica, cavity sensilla, and antennal rhinaria—may have olfactory functions based on their porous surfaces and internal dendritic outer segments (DOS). We also found several differences between the two sexes of B. gobica in the sensilla array and internal structure. ChS and DOS in the protrusions of AR were more abundant in males than females. Altogether, we comprehensively revealed the fine structure and probable function of B. gobica antennae and identified differences in the distribution and structure between psyllid sexes. Our findings provide important insights for future studies on defining the olfactory function of psyllid antenna using electrophysiological methods.
