Proposed EEG measures of consciousness: a systematic, comparative review.

Knowledge of which brain properties are required for consciousness is essential for improving clinical diagnostics and therapy as well as for investigating consciousness per se. The search for such properties has yielded many methods and measures for distinguishing conscious and apparently unconscious brain states. Here, we present a systematic literature review of 255 electroencephalography (EEG)-based measures of consciousness in humans. We show that measures based on signal diversity and event related potentials appear to be the most consistent. Specifically, spectral entropy, Lempel Ziv complexity, and spectral edge frequency, seem most practical, consistent, and reproducible. However, since most studies did not collect current or retrospective subjective reports about experiences, the states of consciousness were usually assessed from behavior. Hence, the ground truth about presence or absence of phenomenological experience in such cases is often uncertain, thus limiting the conclusions that can be drawn. We provide detailed overviews of general categories and specific measures of consciousness, to serve as a basis for further studies and future development.
Financial Homo Ignorans: measuring vulnerability to behavioral biases in household finance

Understanding systematic differences in sound financial behavior between individuals is a key area for public policy and the possibility to tailor interventions to promote financial well-being. In this paper we develop and validate a concise 12 item questionnaire measuring individual’s vulnerability to behavioral biases in household finance – the Financial Homo Ignorans (FHI) Scale. We conduct two studies with general population samples (total N=2508) and show that the FHI scale can predict behavior in financial tasks such as consumer purchases, loan choices, or investment decisions, also when controlling for demographics, financial literacy and other related constructs. In addition, we show that consumer heterogeneity as assessed by the FHI scale explains the variation in household finance management and financial well-being. The FHI scale has application potential as it can be used by researchers, policy makers, and financial institutions to study the psychological underpinnings of financial behavior and design interventions by targeting individuals who are particularly vulnerable. a Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden, kinga.barrafrem@liu.se b Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden; Decision Research, Eugene, OR, USA c Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden
Effect of Sulphur and Zinc Nutrition on Yield and Quality of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

A field experiment entitled “Effect of Sulphur and Zinc Nutrition on Yield and Quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)” was conducted at the Instructional Farm of Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during Rabi season of 2011-2012 with the objectives to work out the most appropriate doses of sulphur and zinc for chickpea cultivation in Udaipur soil. The soil of experimental site was medium in available sulphur (8.8 mg kg) and zinc (1.58 mg kg). The experiment consisting of 16 treatments combinations comprising four levels of sulphur (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg S ha) in integration with four levels of zinc (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 kg Zn ha). The experiment was laid out in Factorial randomized block design with three replications. The results of the experiment indicated that application of 30 kg S ha significantly increased the overall growth of the crop in terms of plant height, branches per plant, pods per plant, grain and haulm yield. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, iron, copper zinc and protein content in grain and nitrogen, potassium, sulphur and iron, manganese, copper and zinc content in haulm significantly increased. Potassium, iron and zinc uptake by grain and nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and iron and manganese uptake by haulm was significantly increased irrespective of Zn application. While application of 45 kg S ha 1 significant increased the nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur manganese and copper uptake by grain, phosphorus and copper uptake by haulm and chlorophyll content in leaves. Available N, P, S Fe, Mn and Cu in soil after harvest increased significantly with increasing levels of sulphur upto 45 kg S ha. However, available zinc was adversely affected by increasing levels of sulphur. Application of 5 kg Zn ha irrespective of S applications, improve the overall growth of the crop in terms of plant height, branches per plant, pods per plant, grain and haulm yield, protein content in grain, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, iron and zinc content in grain and phosphorus, potassium, iron and zinc uptake by grain, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, iron and zinc uptake by haulm. While application of 7.5 kg Zn ha significantly increased nitrogen, sulphur, copper and manganese uptake by grain, copper uptake by haulm and chlorophyll content in leaves. * Research Scholar, Department of Agri.

Using A Cash Flow Model to Predict Future Cash Flow from Historical Cash Flow: Malaysian Perspective

This research aims to look into the role of historical cash flow in forecasting potential cash flows of Malaysian publicly traded companies. Construction, energy, and property are the industries chosen for this study. The data for this study came from the financial statements of 159 companies from those industries that were published on the Bursa Malaysia website from 2015 to 2019. The statement of profit or loss and cash flow statement are used to collect historical cash flow data. The cash flow model was used, and the three-year lags improve its predictive power in accounting results. This study found that the past one-year cash flows are a significant predictor and optimistic effect on forecasting potential cash flows. Taking all into account, this study will assist company executives in managing cash flows for ongoing operations, monitoring investment strategy, and tracking financing activities to ensure the organization's sustainability and growth. On the other hand, other business stakeholders may use historical cash flows to forecast potential cash flow investment decisions. This study is expected to have implications and benefits for all stakeholders concerned, including academics, professionals, and regulatory agencies.

The present study was carried out to measure the physico-chemical variables of surface water of the Meghna River from September 2015 to March 2016. Air temperature, water temperature, soil pH, water pH, DO, BOD 5 , COD, TSS, TDS, PO 4 -P, NO 3 -N and EC concentrations in water samples were found to range from 14-29°C, 11-28°C, 5.9-6.9, 7.2-7.5, 4.2-6.71 mg/L, 0.67-3.71 mg/L, 2.5-5.9 mg/L, 8-20 mg/L, 72-130 mg/L, 0.11-0.90 µg/l, 0.115-0.90 µg/l and 115.8-220 µScm -1 respectively. River Pollution Index (RPI) indicated that the water of river at impacted site was less to moderately polluted. Unimpacted site was also less polluted as per RPI and mostly used for agriculture. Correlation Matrix (CM) and Multivariate statistical analyses namely Cluster Analysis (CA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Factors Analysis (FA) indicated that river water was polluted. The principal causes of the pollution of the river were haphazard industrialization, domestic sewage and agricultural inputs. Using of river water can pose serious problems to human health by biological food chain. This research suggests to proper management of the river with eco-friendly industrialization and urbanization for sustainable development of the country.
Using AMMI model and its parameters for yield stability analysis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) advanced mutant genotypes of Tarrom-Mahalli

Genotype×environment interaction is one of the most important production challenges for plant breeders. Line selection with desirable yield is severely affected by genotype×environment interaction. In order to consider this interaction, 13 M8 mutant genotypes derived from Tarrom-Mahalli rice land races along with 3 control, Tarrom-Mahalli, Tarrom-Jelodar and Neda were used to evaluate their grain yield stability and adaptability using a RCBD design with 3 replications and two regions in Mazandaran province in 2016-2017. Analyses were carried out using the AMMI method. Effects of genotype, environment and their interactions were significant. Two components of the first model covered more than 91% of the interaction variance. The bi-plot showed that genotypes 15, 18, 31, 30 and 33, Tarrom-Jelodar and Tarrom-Mahalli were the stable genotypes. Results of AMMI model statistics showed that according to AMGE statistics, Neda, genotypes 26 and 31, based on ASI, MASI and MASV statistics, genotypes 33, 26 and 30 and based on AVAMGE, DA, FA, SIPC and ZA statistics, genotypes 33, 30 and 31 had the highest stabilities, respectively. According to the results of the indices of simultaneous selection for grain yield and stability for each of AMMI statistics it is observed that genotypes 33, 31, Tarrom-Jelodar, genotypes 26 and Neda cultivar are identified as the stable high yielding genotypes. Results showed that most of stability statistics based on the AMMI model are appropriate stability indices for identifying stable genotype with high grain yield.

DIFFERENT ROLES AND DESIGNS OF HETERO-GATE DIELECTRIC IN SINGLE- AND DOUBLE-GATE TUNNEL FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS

Kỹ thuật điện môi cực cổng dị cấu trúc không chỉ giúp giảm dòng lưỡng cực mà còn làm tăng dòng mở của transistor trường xuyên hầm (tunnel field-effect transistr (TFET)). Dựa trên mô phỏng hai chiều, chúng tôi nghiên cứu vai trò và thiết kế của lớp điện môi dị cấu trúc trong TFET đơn và lưỡng cổng. Kết quả cho thấy vai trò và thiết kế của chuyển tiếp điện môi dị cấu trúc phía nguồn trong TFET đơn và lưỡng cổng hầu như giống nhau. Tuy nhiên, vai trò và thiết kế của chuyển tiếp điện môi dị cấu trúc phía máng rất khác nhau trong TFET đơn và lưỡng cổng. Trong cả hai cấu trúc, vị trí tối ưu của chuyển tiếp phía nguồn không phụ thuộc vào tỉ số bề dày ô-xít tương đương của các lớp điện môi có độ điện thẩm cao và thấp. Khi tăng tỉ số này, sự tăng dòng mở nhờ chuyển tiếp phía nguồn đầu tiên tăng (tỉ số < 12) và rồi bão hòa (tỉ số > 12). Đối với chuyển tiếp phía máng, vai trò của nó trong việc tăng dòng mở rất hạn chế trong TFET lưỡng cổng (mọi tỉ số) nhưng lại lớn trong TFET đơn cổng (tỉ số < 12). Khi tỉ số < 12, vị trí tối ưu của chuyển tiếp phía máng trong TFET lưỡng cổng xa cực nguồn hơn 2-3 nm so với trong TFET đơn cổng. Khi tỉ số > 12, vị trí tối ưu của chuyển tiếp phía máng trong TFET lưỡng cổng không phụ thuộc vào tỉ số này, nhưng trong TFET đơn cổng lại phụ thuộc. Những khác biệt trên là do các giếng thế định xứ trong hai cấu trúc có độ sâu khác nhau.
New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Predictors and In-hospital Complications

Objective To explore risk factors and in-hospital complications of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Methods In this study of 1344 patients who underwent isolated OPCAB from 2012 to 2015, patients were divided into AF and non-AF group according to whether new-onset postoperative AF occurred. Results The incidence of new-onset AF after OPCAB was 28.57%, mainly appeared within the first 4 days after surgery. After binary logistic regression analysis, age, peripheral vascular disease, median-sternotomy OPCAB, mechanical ventilation time, IABP were independent predictors of AF( p <0.001,OR 1.039,95%CI 1.023-1.055; p =0.007,OR 2.450,95%CI 1.282-4.684; p =0.044,OR 0.589,95%CI 0.351-0.987; p =0.013,OR 1.006,95%CI 1.001-1.011; p =0.007,OR 3.001,95%CI 1.356-6.642, respectively). Patients with AF have a significant higher risk of reoperation, re-entry into ICU, re-intubation, postoperative myocardial infarction, renal failure, and death ( p =0.013, p =0.015, p <0.001, p =0.037, p <0.001, p <0.001, respectively), also a longer re-ICU time ( p =0.014). Conclusion Advanced age, peripheral vascular disease, median-sternotomy OPCAB, mechanical ventilation time, IABP were independent predictors for new-onset AF after OPCAB. Postoperative AF was clearly associated with more in-hospital complications.
Peer tutoring of computer programming increases exploratory behavior in children.

There is growing interest in teaching computer science and programming skills in schools. Here we investigated the efficacy of peer tutoring, which is known to be a useful educational resource in other domains but never before has been examined in such a core aspect of applied logical thinking in children. We compared (a) how children (N = 42, age range = 7 years 1 month to 8 years 4 months) learn computer programming from an adult versus learning from a peer and (b) the effect of teaching a peer versus simply revising what has been learned. Our results indicate that children taught by a peer showed comparable overall performance-a combination of accuracy and response times-to their classmates taught by an adult. However, there was a speed-accuracy trade-off, and peer-taught children showed more exploratory behavior, with shorter response times at the expense of lower accuracy. In contrast, no tutor effects (i.e., resulting from teaching a peer) were found. Thus, our results provide empirical evidence in support of peer tutoring as a way to help teach computer programming to children. This could contribute to the promotion of a widespread understanding of how computers operate and how to shape them, which is essential to our values of democracy, plurality, and freedom.
Nitrogen efficiency in hydroponic chicory

ABSTRACT An experiment was conducted to develop a model of vegetative growth based on the nitrate concentrations in nutrient solutions using the nutrient film technique and to determine the best cultivar for each concentration. The chicory cultivars (“Pão de Açúcar,” “Folha Larga,” “Precoce de Trieste” and “Catalonha”) and the subplots corresponded to different nitrate concentrations (6.68, 10.0, 13.32 and 16.64 mmol L−1). There was an interaction between the evaluated factors, such that there was no similarity in the response of the chicory cultivars to the N concentrations in the nutrient solution. The most productive chicory cultivar was “Pão de Açúcar,” which exhibited 10.5% higher productivity than the average, and the least productive was “Folha Larga,” which showed approximately 8.5% lower productivity than the average.
Investigating attitude of labor pain and choosing the type of Delivery in pregnant women refering to health centers in Kerman

Introduction: In view of the direct effect of the working methods on the quality of data in the laboratory، quality control of data and results of the Biochemistry Ward of the Laboratory includes taking into account all the factors and variables relating to all the pre-analytical، analytical and post-analytical steps at this ward. Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the quality control of data and results of the biochemistry wards of some laboratories. Method: In a descriptive research، 40 biochemistry wards of the laboratories of universities of medical sciences and health services in the city of Tehran were examined. Data were collected by observation and asking questions. The data collection tool was checklists and questionnaires. By checklist activities and procedures and 33 effective factors were examined in the pre-analytical step 18 effective factors were examined in the analytical step and 8 effective factors in post-analytical step. Data from questions and observations were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and by determining the absolute and relative frequencies. Results: On average، the checklist findings show that، in the biochemistry wards in all studied hospital laboratories، 58، 68 and 87 percent of the factors، respectively، affecting the pre-analytical، analytical and post-analytical data and results are taken into consideration. Conclusion: The present research showed that، by comparing the findings obtained using the two tools، it can be found out that the findings do not match each other in certain factors and that the amount of findings obtained from the questionnaire is more than the findings obtained from the checklist. For example، there is no enough attention paid to other factors in pre-analytical step (Preparing the patient Paying attention to the physiological changes of the patient’s body etc. )، analytical step (availability of written guidelines for performing certain work where the samples are analyzed Calibrating the instruments according to the standard program etc. ) and post-analytical step (precision in recording distinguishing features in real values).
Food Processing Effect on the Residue Levels of Organochlorine Compounds In Fishes

A study was conducted to screen certain pesticide residues such as Organochlorine compounds in fish samples and to assess the effect of food processing methods on degradation of residue levels in both natural and spiked samples. Fish samples were collected from local areas of Hyderabad, Telangana, India and subjected to various food processing such as boiling and broiling and samples were analyzed by using Gas Chromatography- Electron Capture Detector by employing QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) method for sample extraction and cleanup process. The final mean residual levels and their degradation percentage was also calculated with respective treatments. Heat processing methods proved to be highly effective on degradation of some Organochlorine compounds in both natural and spiked samples of fishes. Both the treatments i.e. boiling and broiling were statistically nonsignificant on degradation of respective pesticides in both natural and spiked samples of fishes.

Factors related to positive experiences in parent-child relationship during the COVID-19 lockdown. The role of empathy, emotion regulation, parenting self-efficacy and social support

Objective: Several researchers and clinicians have focused on the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for children and parents. However, we may suppose that some families may also experience positive aspects of the COVID-19 lockdown such as increased emotional closeness and more time for free play and creativity in parent-child relationships. The aim of the current study was to investigate predictors of the positive experiences in parent-child relationship in Polish mothers and fathers during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: 228 mothers and 231 fathers completed the Brief version of the Empathic Sensitivity Questionnaire, The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale Short Form, Social Support Scale, Parenting Self-Agency Measure, as well as The Scale of Positive Experiences in Parent-Child Relationship during the COVID-19 lockdown. Results: Our results show that parenting self-efficacy and social support are the best predictors of the positive experiences in parent-child relationships in both mothers and fathers during the lockdown. Additionally, perspective taking is a positive predictor of the positive experiences in mothers, whereas increased affective components of empathy (empathic concern and personal distress) are predictors of the positive experiences in the parent-child relationship in fathers. Conclusions: Our study emphasizes a need to focus not only on negative, but also on positive consequences of COVID-19 lockdown for children and parents, and shows which factors could be important targets for preventive and therapeutic interventions for mothers and fathers during the epidemic.
