How Do School Psychologists Address Issues of Effort, Motivation, and Honesty During Evaluations?

Data collected during psychoeducational evaluations can be compromised by response bias: clients not putting forth sufficient effort on tests, not being motivated to do well, or not being fully honest and careful when completing rating scales and contributing similar self-report data. Some of these problems apply to data from third-party informants as well. In the present study, we surveyed school psychologists about their approach to detecting, preventing, and reacting to apparent response bias. A sample of 297 school psychologists responded to at least one of four open-ended questions. We found that most participants only used informal techniques for detecting response bias (rather than specialized tests and embedded indices), relied on rewards or reinforcements to prevent response bias, and reacted to apparent response bias by noting it in their evaluation reports. However, a wide variety of other strategies were endorsed by smaller proportions of practitioners. We compare these results to results from similar surveys in neuropsychology, and discuss implications for applied practice as well as future research.
An Interpretation of Relativistic Spin Entanglement Using Geometric Algebra

Entangled states are often given as one of the most bizarre examples of “weirdness” described as inherent to quantum mechanics. The present work reinterprets entanglement as not being a property of states at all, but rather as a relationship between the reference frames in which the states reside, which proposes to reduce “weirdness” of interpretation. Using the geometric Algebra of Physical Space, it has been shown that a classical form of the Dirac equation can be satisfied by any eigenspinor, which is a Lorentz transformation operator describing the relative velocity and relative orientation of the rest frame of a system as seen from a particular lab frame from which it is described. The real linear nature of the Dirac equation means any real linear superposition of such eigenspinors are also solutions. Thus, with entanglement modelled as an operator consisting of a linear superposition of rotation operators describing the possible relative orientations of a particular particle frame and the frame from which it is observed, it too can satisfy a bipartite form of the Dirac equation. To investigate this model, the present work applies relativistic boost transformations to the entangling operator in various ways, including as an identical boost of both parts in the same direction, and also as equal and oppositely-directed boosts. The resulting “entangling eigenspinors” are then analyzed in various ways, including the application to specific spin states — only to discover that doing this results in a reduction of the information, which can be interpreted as a reduction in the amount of entanglement. By comparing this to the treatment of the Dirac equation in APS, it may be concluded that the application of the entangling eigenspinor to a state — which models the typical approach of simply boosting an entangled state — gives an incomplete account of what is happening. The full information is thus contained within the entangling eigenspinor, justifying the interpretation of the entanglement in terms of geometric information relating the reference frames, rather than as a property of the state.
Dual-band cross polarization converter in bi-layered complementary chiral metamaterial

Abstract In this article, a new chiral metamaterial with giant optical activity (90°) around 225 and 285 THz has been proposed which can be acted as a dual-band cross polarization converter (CPC). During the frequency range of proposed CPC, the maximum transmission coefficient and cross polarization conversion efficiency are up to 0.55 and 0.998, respectively. Importantly, the corresponding ellipticities are almost zero at 225 and 285 THz.
Outcomes of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Predictors of Its Outcomes in the Emergency Department in King Saud Medical City, Saudi Arabia

Background: Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency marked by the cessation of cardiac mechanical activity and insufficient blood flow. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a life-saving method that involves restoring the essential functions of two vital organs: the heart and lungs. This study was conducted to identify the outcome of CPR in cardiac arrest patients presented to the emergency department (ED) and to identify predictors of CPR outcomes. Methodology: This was a retrospective, descriptive study. All in-hospital cardiac arrest patients who underwent CPR in the King Saud Medical City (KSMC) ED between January 2017 and January 2020 were analyzed, with a sample size of 351 patients. Results: Overall return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to discharge (STD) were achieved in 106 (30.2%) and 40 (11.39%) patients, respectively. When assessing the predictors of ROSC, the analyses showed that patient age, pre-arrest intubation, the method used to deliver oxygen, and CPR duration were all statistically significant predictors for ROSC. Similarly, when assessing predictors associated with STD, the analyses showed that patient age, pre-arrest intubation, the method used to deliver oxygen, and CPR duration were positively associated with STD. Conclusion: Comparing the study's findings to those of similar studies, it shows a CPR outcome rate within the range of similar studies. It also highlights that CPR outcomes are highly associated with CPR duration (a maximum of 30 minutes), younger age, and endotracheal intubation.
Local strong solutions to the compressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we consider the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with nonnegative thermal conductivity and electric conductivity. The coefficients of the viscosity, heat conductivity and magnetic diffusivity depend on density and temperature. Inspired by the framework of [11], [13] and [15], we use the maximal regularity and contraction mapping argument to prove the existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions with positive initial density in the bounded domain for any dimension.
Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant Non-Fermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli in a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital of Central India: Is Colistin Resistance Still a Distant Threat?

Purpose Multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms are being increasingly reported from India. This study aimed to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NF-GNB) isolated from all the clinical samples to estimate the prevalence of MDR MDR NF-GNB and to screen for colistin-resistance genes among all colistin-resistant strains. Materials and methods This prospective study conducted from January 2021 to July 2022 at a tertiary care teaching hospital in central India identified MDR NF-GNB from clinical samples using standard procedures and antimicrobial susceptibility testing conducted as per Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Colistin-resistant strains identified by broth microdilution were further subjected to detection of plasmid-mediated colistin-resistant genes (mcr-1, mcr-2, mcr-3) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results A total 2,106 NF-GNB were isolated from 21,019 culture positive clinical samples, of which 743 (35%) were MDR. Majority of MDR NF-GNB isolated were from pus (45.50%) followed by blood (20.50%). Out of 743 non-duplicate MDR non-fermenters,the most common were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (51.7%), Acinetobacter baumannii (23.4%),and others (24.9%). Around5.2% Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 2.3% Acinetobacter baumannii were resistant to colistin, and 88.2% were resistant to ceftazidime. Burkholderia cepacia complexwas 100% susceptible to minocycline and least susceptible to ceftazidime (28.6%). Out of 11, 10 (90.9%) Stenotrophomonas maltophilia were susceptible to colistin and least susceptible to ceftazidime and minocycline (27.3%). All 33 colistin-resistant strains (minimal inhibitory concentration ≥ 4 µg/mL) were found to be negative for mcr-1, mcr-2, and mcr-3 genes. Conclusion Our study showed a significantly wide variety of NF-GNB, ranging from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (51.7%), Acinetobacter baumannii (23.4%),to Acinetobacter haemolyticus (4.6%), Pseudomonas putida (0.9%), Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (0.7%), Pseudomonas luteola (0.5%), and Ralstonia pickettii (0.4%), which have not been commonly reported in literature. Of all the non-fermenters isolated in the present study, 35.28% were MDR, raising the concern for rationalizing antibiotic use and improving infection control measures to avert or slow the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
Prevalence and Duration of Loss of Smell and Taste in  COVID-19 Patients

Background: The COVID-19 (Corona virus disease 2019) outbreak due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an infectious disease intimidating the world. The COVID-19 common symptoms include cough, fever, malaise, dyspnea, myalgia and gastrointestinal disturbances. The loss of smell and taste has also been reported among patients with COVID-19. Objective: The objective of the study is to assess the prevalence and duration of loss of smell and taste among COVID-19 patients. Material and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study in which 150 COVID-19 patients were included. The enrolled patients answered a questionnaire at 14th (or more) days after confirmed infection. The patients’ responses were received online on data form and entered into computer software SPSS version 22.0. Frequencies and percentages were calculated and data was presented in tables and figures. Results: Out of 150 patients, 48.0% were 20-30 years old and 56.0% were male. Majority (82.0%) of patients experienced loss of smell and taste during COVID-19. 57.0% patients had lost smell and taste sense completely. 52.0% patients experienced smell and taste issues after other symptoms of COVID-19. Among 43.9% patients, the duration of these issues was more than 10 days. There were 30.1% patients who used any medicine or local remedy for COVID-19 treatment. Conclusion: Study concluded that loss of smell and taste was prevalent among patients with COVID-19 while duration was more than 10 days for most of the patients.
Nonlinear distortions in silicon microring resonator filters and their impact on integrated photonic ADCs

We present a dynamic model based on temporal coupled-mode theory to model microring resonators considering silicon nonlinearities. By taking into account the vectorial nature of the optical modes propagating in strongly confining silicon waveguides, we introduce effective areas for two-photon absorption (TPA) and free-carrier distribution in order to adapt the rate equation describing the generation of free-carriers due to TPA and Sorefs equations for silicon waveguides. The performance of optical systems utilizing microring resonators can be degraded due to its nonlinear response. In this paper, we investigate the impact of silicon nonlinearities in microring resonators on the effective number of bits (ENOB) in integrated photonic analog-to-converters (ADCs). This is done by analyzing the nonlinear response of a first-order microring drop filter to a modulated optical pulse train. The dependence of the nonlinear response of the microring resonator, embodied in the input pulse energy vs output pulse energy, and the maximum ENOB on various filter and input pulse train parameters is analyzed by varying the finesse, microring waveguide geometry, modulation index, and average pulse energy.
Leukemia Cutis as the Presenting Sign of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in an HIV+ patient

Leukemia Cutis (LC) is a rare extramedullary cutaneous manifestation of leukemia that varies in terms of clinical presentation, leukemia type, and timing of presentation in relation to systemic leukemia. LC typically presents following diagnosis of systemic leukemia and during an active flare or relapse. An estimated 3.7% of patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) develop LC. A 61-year-old male with poorly controlled HIV presented with a rash that began one month prior on his cheek as a red papule, which he believed was an ingrown hair. On exam, pink and yellow firm papules and nodules covered his entire body surface except the groin and axilla. One nodule held a peau d’orange appearance. The rash was overall asymptomatic, and he reported only increased fatigue. His CD4 count and viral load were 136 and 330,000 respectively. One punch biopsy revealed negative cultures for fungus, bacteria, and acid-fast bacilli. Two biopsies sent for pathologic evaluation revealed AML of the skin. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed AML. Clinically the presentation of LC is nonspecific, and systemic symptoms rarely appear in conjunction with LC. High clinical suspicion and histopathologic examination are necessary for diagnosis of LC.
Evaluation of time-resolved multi-distance methods to retrieve absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of adult heads in vivo: Optical parameters dependences on geometrical structures of the models used to calculate reflectance

Time-resolved multi-distance measurements are studied to retrieve absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of adult heads, which have enough depth sensitivity to determine the optical parameters in superficial tissues and brain separately. Measurements were performed by putting the injection and collection fibers on the left semi-sphere of the forehead, with the injection fiber placed toward the temporal region, and by moving the collection fiber between 10 and 60 mm from the central sulcus. It became clear that optical parameters of the forehead at all collection fibers were reasonably determined by selecting the appropriate visibility length of the geometrical head models, which is related to head surface curvature at each position.
Trait Association and path coefficient analysis for yield and yield attributing traits in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

Correlation and path analysis were carried out in 36 diverse genotypes of sesame collected from different parts of the country along with North-East region of India for local landraces. Analysis of variance indicated the presence of good amount of genetic variability among the genotypes under study. Correlation studies indicated that seed yield per plant was significantly and positively associated with traits, i.e. plant height, internodal length, number of capsules per plant, number of branches per plant, stover yield per plant and harvest index both at genotypic and phenotypic levels which indicate the importance of these traits in selection for enhancing the seed yield. Path analysis revealed that maximum positive direct effect on seed yield per plant was imposed by days to 80% physiological maturity, internodal length, capsule length, stem height from base to first branch, stover yield per plant, harvest index, relative water content, oil content and protein content both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. This indicate that these are the real independent characters and they have maximum contribution towards increase in the seed yield per plant.
New combination rule of conflict evidence based on optimized evidence discount

The combination rule of conflict evidences has been one of the important issues in Dempster-Shafer theory since it may conclude an error result in dealing with high conflict information.In order to deal with the problems that much of modified combination rules do not satisfy the associative law,a new combination rule that satisfies the associative law is proposed.An optimized model of evidence discount rate based on the minimized Ign(·) function is built firstly,then the modified evidences are obtained by pretreated mass functions with discount rate.Finally the modified evidences are combined by the new combination rule.The numerical example shows that the new combination rule has good performance in dealing with conflict and improves the reliability and rationality.
A geometrical model of stitch length for lockstitch seam

A geometrical model has been proposed for prediction of thread consumption based on original crosssection of lockstitch seam for woven fabric. The developed model has been used to calculate the thread consumption during the process of stitching. The stitch length equation is obtained in terms of feed rate, thickness of fabric, machine rpm, thread diameter and position of the cross-over point between needle and bobbin thread in a stitch. Some experiments are carried by changing the parameters such as thickness, tension of needle thread and feed rate with high gsm denim fabric on JUKI lockstitch machine. The needle and bobbin threads length per stitch is also calculated. A new model is therefore proposed for the calculation of stitch length in seam balance as well as in any other conditions, depending on the position of needle and bobbin thread cross-over point. To predict the thread consumption in a lock stitch seam, a dynamic analysis of the stitching process is needed.
The COVID-19 Pandemic, Social Ties, and Psychosocial Well-Being of Middle-Aged Women in Rural Africa

The study contributes to the understanding of the societal impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in the Global South by examining longer term implications of pandemic-induced disruptions and deprivations for social ties and psychosocial well-being. Using data from a survey of middle-aged women in rural Mozambique, the author finds a negative association between the pandemic-triggered household economic decline and perceived changes in the quality of relations with marital partners, non-coresident children, and relatives, but not with generally more distant actors, such as coreligionists and neighbors. In turn, multivariable analyses detect a positive association of changes in the quality of family and kin ties with participants’ life satisfaction, regardless of other factors. Yet women’s expectations for changes in their household living conditions in the near future show a significant association only with changes in the quality of relations with marital partners. The author situates these findings within the context of women’s enduring vulnerabilities in low-income patriarchal settings.
Magnetic structure of the solar transition region as observed in various ultraviolet lines emitted at different temperatures

Aims. The structure of the solar transition region (TR) in a polar coronal hole of the Sun is studied. In particular, the detailed association of the coronal magnetic field (carpet) with the radiance patterns of the TR, when seen in various far ultraviolet (FUV) emission lines, is investigated. Methods. A detailed comparison is made of the coronal magnetic field, as obtained by extrapolation of the NSO/Kitt-Peak photospheric field to heights of several tens of megameters, with the radiances of many FUV lines, which are emitted by ions of various elements at different ionization stages, corresponding to different local coronal temperatures. By a correlation analysis of the emission pattern with the magnetic field (network and carpet of loops), the so-called correlation height of the emission can be determined. By its help and through a correlation analysis the magnetic nature of the emission regions and the temperature structure of the TR can be better revealed and understood. Results. In particular, at mesoscopic scales of several megameters the regions with strong emission (originating from multiple small closed loops) are found to be located at low heights, whereas weak emissions (coming from locally open, i.e. far reaching fields) appear to originate at greater heights. These findings are consistent with similar results obtained at large scales for large-size loops and big coronal holes. Conclusions. Our correlation-height analysis of the emission lines confirms the notion that plasma at different temperature can coexist at the same height. The TR is not thermally stratified but strongly nonuniform and magnetically structured.

NIMHANS Neuropsychological Battery for Elderly in Parkinson’s Disease Patients: Validation and Diagnosis using MDS PD-MCI Task Force Criteria in Indian Population

Introduction: Cognitive impairment is a common non-motor feature of Parkinson's Disease (PD). Diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment is challenging and routinely missed in clinical practice. Our study aimed to study the efficacy of NIMHANS Neuropsychological Battery for Elderly (NNB-E) in diagnosing subtle cognitive deficits in PD patients. Objective: The aim of this study is to validate NNB-E and evaluate cognitive impairment in PD patients in comparison with healthy controls. Methods: We recruited 31 PD patients and 31 healthy controls in the current study. We validated NNB-E using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, Crohnbach's alpha, principal component analysis, and Pearson product-moment correlation, and studied the cognitive impairments using NNB-E in the non-demented PD patients and controls who scored ≥24 on HMSE. Results: Cognitive performance of PD patients was poor compared to controls. NNB-E showed good internal consistency and construct validity with Crohnbach's alpha of 0.861 and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.878. The battery was able to detect mild cognitive impairment in 74.1% of patients and 6.4% of controls. The ROC curve showed that the overall sensitivity of the battery was 73.2% and specificity was 92.6% at an optimal cutoff score. Different cutoff values set for defining PD-MCI as per MDS task force criteria resulted in varying frequencies of MCI ranging from 25.8% to 71%. Conclusion: Our study established the validity of NNB-E in PD patients, and this tool was suitable for diagnosing PD-MCI and discriminating PD patients from normal controls in the Indian population. This study also showed PD-MCI at various cutoff scores with greater impairment in executive and attention domains.
Some constructions of modular forms for the Weil representation of SL2(ℤ)

Abstract Modular forms for the Weil representation of SL2 (ℤ) play an important role in the theory of automorphic forms on orthogonal groups. In this paper we give some explicit constructions of these functions. As an application, we construct new examples of generalized Kac-Moody algebras whose denominator identities are holomorphic automorphic products of singular weight. They correspond naturally to the Niemeier lattices with root systems and to the Leech lattice.
Wolf coverage and framing by newspapers across the Italian Eastern Alps

ABSTRACT The Alps are among the most human-exploited mountain regions in the world and are undergoing a rapid recolonization by wolves, causing social conflicts and great attention by the public and the media. We conducted a content analysis of newspaper articles published between 2019 and 2020 (n = 803) across the Eastern Italian Alps to assess how the wolf is covered and framed and to get an insight into public attitudes and debate around the topic. Although our results show a general neutral depiction of wolves, where wolf management and predations are the main new topics, interesting differences both among areas and newspapers were found, with Belluno being the province with the highest coverage and the most negative framing of the species, whereas Trento province turned out as the area with the more positive portrayal. Our results provide important insight to help improve communication and thus coexistence with the species.
