Autonomy-supportive teaching: Its malleability, benefits, and potential to improve educational practice

Abstract Autonomy-supportive teaching is the adoption of a student-focused attitude and an understanding interpersonal tone that enables the skillful enactment of seven autonomy-satisfying instructional behaviors to serve two purposes—support intrinsic motivation and support internalization. Using self-determination theory principles and empirical findings, researchers have developed and implemented numerous teacher-focused and methodologically-rigorous interventions to provide teachers with the professional developmental experience they need to learn how to become more autonomy supportive. The findings from 51 autonomy-supportive teaching interventions (including 38 randomized control trials) collectively show that (1) teachers can learn how to become more autonomy supportive during instruction (autonomy-supportive teaching is malleable) and, once learned, (2) this greater autonomy-supportive teaching produces a wide range of educationally important student, teacher, and classroom climate benefits (autonomy-supportive teaching is beneficial). Recognizing this, the article shows how the recent surge in autonomy-supportive intervention research has advanced the conceptual understanding of the nature of autonomy-supportive teaching and clarified its potential to improve educational practice.
IMAGING OF PRIMARY HEPATIC LYMPHOMA

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a rare malignancy, making up 0.4% of extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, and 0.016% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (Steller Tanaka et al., 2013). Presenting symptoms and physical findings were non-specific. Major presenting symptoms include abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, fatigue, anorexia, nausea and vomiting. There is a male to female preponderance, and presentation is largely in middle age pathologic diagnosis is usually diffuse large c large B-cell lymphoma, or immunoblastic lymphoma in immunosuppressed patients, in whom the incidence is increased (Cazejust et al., 2013; Agmon-Levin The case report is approved by the patient. Informed consent has been obtained from the patients for publication of this case.
The original plan for Hadrian’s Wall: a new purpose for Pons Aelius?

ABSTRACT Several major issues remain around the eastern end of Hadrian’s Wall, due partly to the dense urban fabric of Tyneside. These concern the spacing of the interval structures in the first seven Wall miles, the course of the mural barrier in Newcastle, the purpose of the Roman bridge over the river Tyne (Pons Aelius) and the original eastern terminus of the Wall. This paper retraces the anchor points of our knowledge before zooming in to examine the Wall’s northern approach of the Tyne bridge and considering a possible new departure. Seeing the crucial role of river crossings in determining not just the line of the Wall but also the successive work sectors, the question is raised how far the Wall on Tyneside may originally have been planned to mirror the situation in the west. Before long, however, the project was overhauled, and effectively redesigned, in consequence of the so-called ‘fort decision’ and all the related changes, one of them concerning the Wall’s eastern terminus. Understanding the infancy of Roman Britain’s mural barrier requires exploring the eventful context in which this imperial prestige project took shape, got mixed up conceptually and was set right again around AD 122.
How to Increase Automated Vehicles’ Acceptance through In-Vehicle Interaction Design: A Review

ABSTRACT Automated vehicles (AVs) are on the edge of being available on the mass market. Research often focuses on technical aspects of automation, such as computer vision, sensing, or artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, researchers also identified several challenges from a human perspective that need to be considered for a successful introduction of these technologies. In this paper, we first analyze human needs and system acceptance in the context of AVs. Then, based on a literature review, we provide a summary of current research on in-car driver-vehicle interaction and related human factor issues. This work helps researchers, designers, and practitioners to get an overview of the current state of the art.
The moderating role of emotion dysregulation in the relation between potentially morally injurious experiences and alcohol misuse among military Veterans

ABSTRACT Alcohol misuse is a serious and pervasive problem among US military Veterans. The commission or omission of acts that transgress important moral standards, known as potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs), has been theoretically and empirically linked to alcohol misuse in this population. Emotion dysregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of alcohol misuse and may be relevant in the context of PMIEs. The goal of this study was to examine the roles of negative and positive emotion dysregulation in the relation between PMIEs and alcohol misuse. Participants were a community sample of US military Veterans who were predominantly white (69.5%) and male (71.6%), with a mean age of 38.00. The interaction between PMIEs and both negative and positive emotion dysregulation (separately) significantly predicted alcohol misuse. Simple slopes tests revealed that the relation between PMIEs and alcohol misuse was only significant at high levels of negative and positive emotion dysregulation. Findings underscore the potential utility of targeting both negative and positive emotion dysregulation in alcohol misuse interventions for military Veterans experiencing PMIEs.
STAGNATION-POINT FLOW OVER A SHRINKING SHEET IN A MICROPOLAR FLUID

An analysis is carried out to study the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of a micropolar fluid over a shrinking sheet in its own plane. The shrinking velocity and the ambient fluid velocity are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. The features of the flow characteristics are analyzed and discussed. Different from a stretching sheet, it is found that the solutions for a shrinking sheet are nonunique.
Cardiac autonomic flexibility is associated with higher emotional intelligence

Abstract Emotional intelligence influences affect related outcomes, and accounts for the individual differences in efficient emotion regulation. Autonomic Nervous system activity is a major component of emotional response in which the excitatory sympathetic and inhibitory parasympathetic nervous systems interact antagonistically to produce varying degrees of physiological arousal and regulation. This study aimed to explore how cardiac autonomic reactivity to emotion elicitations is related to and can predict trait emotional intelligence of an individual. Fifty-three college students participated in a five-part cardiac recording session, followed by questionnaires on Trait Emotional Intelligence, and a feedback form to indicate emotional arousal. High trait EI individuals had a higher vagal response at rest and lower emotional reactivity in response to film clips measured as change in cardiac autonomic responses from baseline to emotional state. Cardiac autonomic response at baseline and reactivity in emotional state predicted emotional intelligence. Lower emotional reactivity and higher autonomic flexibility are associated with higher emotional intelligence.
Salience driven attention is pivotal to understanding others’ intentions

ABSTRACT Interpreting others’ beliefs, desires and intentions is known as “theory of mind” (ToM), and is often evaluated using simplified measurement tools, which may not correctly reflect the brain circuits that are required for real-life ToM functioning. We aimed to identify the brain structures necessary to correctly infer intentions from realistic scenarios by administering The Awareness of Social Inference Test, Enriched subtest to 47 patients with behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia, 24 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy syndrome, 31 patients with Alzheimer’s syndrome, and 77 older healthy controls. Neuroimaging data was analyzed using voxel based morphometry, and participants’ understanding of intentions was correlated with voxel-wise and region-of interest data. We found that structural integrity of the cinguloinsular cortex in the salience network (SN) was more pivotal for accurate ToM than previously described, emphasizing the importance of the SN for selectively recognizing and attending to social cues during ToM inferences.
Nicotine Dependence Level On Adult Smokers In West Java Indonesia

Introduction: Smoking is an adverse behavior for one person and others. Although there are various negative effects of smoking, it does not affect the smokers to quit smoking, thus they had a nicotine dependence. The purpose of this research was to identify the sociodemographic characteristics and smoking history with nicotine dependence, and to identify the level of nicotine dependence on smokers. Patients and Methods: This research was quantitative descriptive research. The population in this study was 338 smokers. This research used total sampling method and it obtained a sample of 159 adult respondents. Data were collected using the Fagerström Nicotine
Effectiveness of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) as prognostic marker in COVID-19 critically ill patients: An observational prospective study

Objective To test the effectiveness of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in comparison to C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in predicting mortality in COVID-19-ICU-patients. Methods All consecutive COVID-19 adult patients admitted between March and June 2020 to the ICU of a referral, university hospital in Northern-Italy were enrolled. MR-proADM and routine laboratory test were measured within 48 hours from ICU admission, on day 3, 7 and 14. Survival curves difference with MR-proADM cut-off set to 1.8 nmol/L were tested using log-rank test. Predictive ability was compared using area under the curve and 95% confidence interval of different receiver-operating characteristics curves. Results 57 patients were enrolled. ICU and overall mortality were 54.4%. At admission, lymphocytopenia was present in 86% of patients; increased D-dimer and CRP levels were found in 84.2% and 87.7% of patients respectively, while PCT values > 0.5 μg/L were observed in 47.4% of patients. MR-proADM, CRP and LDH were significantly different between surviving and non-surviving patients and over time, while PCT, D-dimer and NT-pro-BNP did not show any difference between the groups and over time; lymphocytes were different between surviving and non-surviving patients only. MR-proADM was higher in dying patients (2.65±2.33vs1.18±0.47, p<0.001) and a higher mortality characterized patients with MR-proADM >1.8 nmol/L (p = 0.016). The logistic regression model adjusted for age, gender, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and PCT values confirmed an odds ratio = 10.3 [95%CI:1.9–53.6] (p = 0.006) for MR-proADM >1.8 nmol/L and = 22.2 [95%CI:1.6–316.9] (p = 0.022) for cardiovascular disease. Overall, MR-proADM had the best predictive ability (AUC = 0.85 [95%CI:0.78–0.90]). Conclusions In COVID-19 ICU-patients, MR-proADM seems to have constantly higher values in non-survivor patients and predict mortality more precisely than other biomarkers. Repeated MR-proADM measurement may support a rapid and effective decision-making. Further studies are needed to better explain the mechanisms responsible of the increase in MR-proADM in COVID-19 patients.
Magnitude Effects and Utility Curvature in Inter-temporal Choice

The appropriate way to empirically estimate time-dated utility and time preferences based on experimental data has been subject to controversy. Our study assesses whether within-subject magnitude treatments are more appropriately modeled through utility curvature, variable asset integration or as magnitude effects in the discounting function. We find that modeling magnitude effects through utility curvature at the same time as allowing for variable asset integration gives theoretically more consistent parameter ranges than including magnitude effects directly in the discounting function. Models with constant discount rates and limited and constant asset integration are rejected. More restricted but variable asset integration gives close to linear utility functions but such models are less robust than a matching fund model which gives a better fit and is robust and stable across multiple samples.
An Observational Study on Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia as a Cause for Nosocomial Infection in Mechanically Ventilated Neonates

Background: Neonatal ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major hospital-acquired infection in acute care settings, associated with high mortality and poor outcome. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the frequency of ventilator associated pneumonia, its causative organisms, its risk factors and outcomes at our NICU. Methods: This is a prospective observational cohort study used Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for infant's ≤1 year old to diagnose neonatal VAP. All inborn and out-borne neonates who admitted to our NICU from April 2018 to March 2019 were screened for study enrollment and were considered eligible if ventilated for more than 48 hours. They were classified into: Group A: cases with suspected VAP and Group B: cases without VAP. Results: Thirty eight out of 140 patients admitted to NICU were VAP with frequency 27.2%. There were significant changes in the vital signs, respiratory manifestation, ventilator settings, radiologic progression and laboratory findings in VAP group. The risk factors were birth weight less than 1500g (P=0.002), prematurity (P< 0.05), duration of ventilation (26.0 ± 11.5 days, P<0.001) and duration of hospital stay (40.3±14.9). Microorganisms associated with bloodstream infection in the VAP-diagnosed group were Klebsiella spp. , Staphylococcus aureus, Candida spp. and other Gram negative bacilli (26.3, 5.2, 31.5, and 15.7% respectively). Klebsiella spp. was the most commonly isolated pathogen in non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage. In-hospital mortality rates in VAP and non-VAP groups were 65% and 25.5% respectively (P<0.001). Conclusions: The frequency of ventilator acquired pneumonia (VAP) in NICU was 27.2%. The most common risk factors of VAP were very low birth weights, prematurity, longer duration of ventilation and duration of hospital stay while Klebsiella spp. was the most common microorganism associated with bloodstream infection.
Performance enhancement of natural pigments on a high light transmission ZrO2 nanoparticle layer in a water‐based dye‐sensitized solar cell

A coating of ZrO2 nanoparticles on an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate in an alcohol and acetic acid solution forms voids that can be used to tune the effective dielectric constant of mixing layers. After tuning to be between the dielectric constant of ITO (2.5–2.0) and air (~1), the light transmission was enhanced by about eight times. A ZrO2 nanoparticle layer with high light transmission was thus fabricated for a natural pigment‐sensitized solar cell. In order to set up an environmentally friendly dye‐sensitized solar cell, a water‐based electrolyte was used. The efficiency of the green part of Codiaeum varie pigment on the ZrO2 nanoparticle layer was 0.688%. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
GINI, THEIL, AND THE TRADE-OFF BETWEEN OPTIMAL AND EFFICIENT GROUPING OF INCOME DATA*

This paper deals with the effect of various methods of grouping income data in brackets on Theil and Gini indexes. Although optimal brackets result in the smallest underestimation errors, the differences between the methods in the case of 28 brackets are negligible. So, simple Dutch CBS groupings are pre¬ ferred on efficiency grounds as they have rounded brackets and do not differ with the distribution of incomes or with the index used. Neither income nor population fractiles are preferred as far as the computation of Theil and Gini indexes is concerned. * The authors are indepted to Professor J.S. Cramer and Professor J.

SUSAN: The Structural Similarity Random Walk Kernel

Random walk kernels are a very ﬂexible family of graph kernels, in which we can incorporate edge and vertex similarities through positive deﬁnite kernels. In this work we study the particular case within this family in which the vertex kernel has bounded support. We motivate this property as the conﬁgurable ﬂexibility in terms of vertex alignment between the two graphs on which the walk is performed. We study several fast and intuitive ways to derive structurally aware labels and combine them with such a vertex kernel, which in turn is incorporated in the random walk kernel. We provide a fast algorithm to compute the resulting random walk kernel and we give precise bounds on its computational complexity. We show that this complexity always remains upper bounded by that of alternative methods in the literature and study conditions under which this advantage can be signiﬁcantly higher. We evaluate the resulting conﬁgurations on their predictive performance on several families of graphs and show signiﬁcant improvements against the vanilla random walk kernel and other competing algorithms.
Generational Responsibility in Consumption as a Response to Global Economic Crises

The rise of Asian and the stagnation of Western middle classes over the last thirty years have resulted in gradual convergence of income of large parts of the world’s population. Recent global crises—the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic—have led to a decline in income and increase in income uncertainty. Rise in consumption of lower quality goods of shorter durability and an overall decline in demand and economic activity resulted as challenges to the global economy. In this paper, we argue that generational responsibility in consumption can be an environmentally sustainable response to crises which enables the economies to overcome the crisis of confidence and reaffirms community ties. As an element of long-term orientation in consumption, generational responsibility is a cultural phenomenon dependent on solidarity within family and the wider community. It is characterized by consideration of consequences of consumption choices on the environment, and the abundance of savings and the usability of goods to be inherited by future generations. For companies, willing to revisit their traditional business models and incorporate principles of sustainability in their competitive strategies, promotion of generational responsibility can become a new source of competitive advantage and a driver of economic recovery.
Rail Transport Operation and Organizational Performance of Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria

This study investigated the relationship between rail transport operations and organizational performance of manufacturing firms in Rivers State. The study was conceptualized with rail transport operation as the independent variable to predictorganizational performance with decent measures such as effectiveness, efficiency and productivity. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey research design to study a population of five (5) selected manufacturing companies in Rivers State. However, 20 copies of questionnaires were produced and administered to each of the 5 manufacturing firms making it a total of 100 respondents for the study. Data generated were analyzed and presented using both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The hypotheses were tested using the Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Statistics and the tests carried out at a 95% confidence interval and a 0.05 level of significance. The study findings revealed that there is a significant and positive correlation between rail transport operations and organizational performance of manufacturing firms in Rivers State. The study therefore, recommended that the government of the country should invest in railway transport as this will go a very long way in changing the economic fortunes of the country.

In analyses of the characteristics of the drivers and vehicles that struck pedestrians, a small number of crashes involved more than one vehicle. In these crashes, only the vehicle that the police investigating the crash judged to have caused the most significant injury to the pedestrian was included.
Who Reads PLOS Research Articles? Extensive Analysis of the Mendeley Readership Categories of PLOS Journals

Altmetrics have been used as a complementary or alternative to traditional citation metrics, offering alternative ways to measure societal impact and public engagement with scientific publications. Conceivably, journal articles are first read by stakeholders in different social referencing platforms like Mendeley then those are used as a citable document for future work. Thus, the readership of scientific journals is an informative indicator for different stakeholders involved in scholarly practice. The purpose of this paper is to examine the readership patterns and characteristics of PLOS journals. This article compares Scopus citation counts and Mendeley readership counts for the articles of seven PLOS journals that were published in 2017. The Mendeley The Mendeley API in Webometric Analyts software was used to obtain Mendeley readership data. The result shows that Scopus citations are positively and strongly correlated with readership counts in Mendeley for all investigated journals. Most of the readers are Ph.D. students and master’s students. The USA has registered as the highest number of readers counting PLOS journals. We observed that PLOS articles tend to attract more readers than citations. Therefore, the result suggests that readership data should be accepted as an impact indicator for all PLOS journals.
Modelling Chlorine Plasmas

Chlorine plasmas are widely used in the technological industry to create integrated circuits. To improve their use, a more detailed and expansive study of the processes involved is necessary. There have been several models used in simulation work, with different reactions sets, to study the various regimes of the chlorine plasma. The possibility that the vibrational distribution of molecular chlorine had a large impact in the system has been raised in recent discussions. In this article, a global model for an inductively coupled plasma is developed in conjunction with a varied reaction set. The code used is a rewrite on an existing in-house tool with the successful goals of increasing ease of use and accessibility. The simulation results is compared against experimental results, showing good agreement. Various vibrational energy transfer reaction sets are used to conclude that only the lower vibrationally excited energy levels of the molecular chlorine have a measurable effect in the system. The influence of the wall recombination probably is studied, showing that its increase reflects a decrease in dissociation of the molecular chlorine and an increase in electronegativity. The creation and destruction processes for atomic chlorine and its negative ion are analysed, discovering that the power had a large effect on the excitation of the atomic chlorine and on the creation of the atomic negative ion by ionization.
