Researching Fact Checking: Present Limitations and Future Opportunities

The fact checking field has grown tremendously in the past decade, as has academic interest in the practice, with dozens of studies testing the effectiveness of corrections However, research on fact checking is not yet optimised to help fact checkers address the global challenges of mis- and disinformation In this paper, we review the literature on fact checking? s effects and identify two key gaps First, we discuss the limited diversity and external validity of existing studies, which have overwhelmingly been conducted in Western countries and under artificial, experimental conditions Second, we argue that research has narrowly focussed on the short-term, corrective effects of individual fact checks, largely ignoring the multiple ways fact checkers conceive of their impact Thus, research has overlooked the cultural and systemic changes that fact checkers pursue We conclude by highlighting opportunities for further research and for improving communication between academics and fact checkers
The thick skin bias in judgments about people in poverty

We present a series of studies documenting what we call a ‘thick skin bias’ in people's perceptions of those living in poverty. Across a wide range of life events, from major to minor, people of lower socioeconomic status (SES) are systematically perceived as being less harmed by negative experiences than higher-SES people, even when this is patently false. In 18 studies, including a pre-registered survey of a nationally representative sample, we find that laypeople and professionals show the thick skin bias. We distinguish the bias from a tendency to dehumanize those in poverty and argue it cannot be attributed to the belief that the mere expectation that bad things will happen buffers people in poverty from suffering. The thick skin bias has potentially profound implications for the institutional and interpersonal neglect of those most in need of greater care and resources.
Structure of the Subpolar Gyre in the Australian‐Antarctic Basin Derived From Argo Floats

Revealing a physics of the Antarctic subpolar gyre is substantial to understand the exchange processes of heat and materials in the Antarctic continental margin. Here we show autonomous profiling float (Argo) data over the past decade revealed the structure of the circulation in the seasonal ice zone off East Antarctica. A new method is introduced to utilize Argo under ice whose position is not well-determined. We devised automated position interpolation algorithm so as to follow isobaths, which is consistent with the contour of ambient potential vorticity. Estimation error by this interpolation was evaluated using the data whose coordinate are well-determined. The new scheme recovered as much as 40% of profiles in the seasonal ice zone. Their trajectories at 1000dbar clarified the horizontal velocity field of the continental margin(see Figure 1). The subpolar gyres off Wilkes Land and possibly off Mac Robertson Land (Prydz Bay Gyre) seem to be bounded by the westward ASF to the south and the eastward velocity maximum along 62-64S to the north in the Australian-Antarctic Basin. The eastward velocity maximum along 60-62S very likely corresponds to the southern ACC front (Kim and Orsi, 2014). The velocity maximum along 62-64S probably corresponds to the climatological
The limiting DNA replication initiation factors Sld2 and Sld3 influence origin efficiency independent of origin firing time

Chromosome replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is initiated from roughly 300 origins that are regulated both by DNA sequence and by the limited abundance of four trans-acting initiation proteins (Sld2, Sld3, Dpb11 and Dbf4, collectively called “SSDD”). We set out to determine how the association of Sld2 or Sld3 at origins contributes to time of origin activation and/or origin efficiency using auxin-induced protein degradation to further decrease their abundance. Depleting cells of either factor slows growth rate, increases S-phase duration, and causes viability defects, without activating the S phase checkpoint. Chr XII is uniquely unstable with breakage occurring specifically within the rDNA locus. The efficiency of the rDNA origin is decreased while the onset of replication initiation is unchanged. We found that origin efficiency is reduced uniformly across the unique portions of the yeast genome. We conclude that the abundance of Sld2 and Sld3 contribute primarily to origin efficiency.

Herding Behavior and Cryptocurrency: Market Asymmetries, Inter-Dependency and Intra-Dependency

The study investigates herding behavior in cryptocurrencies in different situations. This study employs daily returns of major cryptocurrencies listed in CCI30 index and sub-major cryptocurrencies and major stock returns listed in Dow-Jones Industrial Average Index, from 2015 to 2018. Quantile regression method is employed to test the herding effect in market asymmetries, inter-dependency and intra-dependency cases. Findings confirm the presence of herding in cryptocurrency in upper quantiles in bullish and high volatility periods because of overexcitement among investors, which lead to high volume trading. Major cryptocurrencies cause herding in sub-major cryptocurrencies, but it is a unidirectional relation. However, no intra-dependency effect among cryptocurrencies and equity market is observed. Results indicate that in the CKK model herding exists at upper quantile in market that may be due when the market is moving fast, continuously trading, and bullish trend are prevailing. Further analysis confirms this narrative as, at upper quantile, the beta of bullish regime is negative and significant, meaning the main source of market herding is a bullish trend in investment, which increases market turbulence and gives investors opportunity to herd. Also, we found that herding in cryptocurrencies exits in high volatility periods, but this herding mostly depends on market activity, not market movement.
Three Approaches to Documenting Database Migrations

Database migration is a crucial aspect of digital collections management, yet there are few best practices to guide practitioners in this work. There is also limited research on the patterns of use and processes motivating database migrations. In the “Migrating Research Data Collections” project, we are developing these best practices through a multi-case study of database and digital collections migration. We find that a first and fundamental problem faced by collection staff is a sheer lack of documentation about past database migrations. We contribute a discussion of ways information professionals can reconstruct missing documentation, and some three approaches that others might take for documenting migrations going forward.

Effect of Fortification Breadsticks with Milk Thistle Seeds Powder on Chemical and Nutritional Properties

This work aim to verify the importance of milk thistle seed powder (MTSP) as a medicinal plant and effect of fortification wheat flour (WF) with MTSP on chemical and nutritional properties. Therefore, the chemical composition such as ether extract, dietary fiber, crude protein, vitamin C, amino acids and minerals contents were determined. Also, the antioxidative properties such as phenolic compounds and flavonoid compounds and scavenging activity on DPPH free radicals were also determined. Furthermore, the possibility to use MTSP in bread sticks preparation, where the use of MTSP as replacer of WF at different extents (4, 8 and 12%) to prepare bread sticks rich in protein and minerals, as well as organoleptic evaluation of prepared bread sticks were investigated. Results indicated that MTSP have high amount of protein (25%), ether extract (25.56%), crude fiber (29.68%), minerals content (4.55%), vitamin C (4.59 mg∕g), flavonoids (20,65 mg/g), and phenolic compounds (40.33 mg as Gallic /g) (antioxidants) which, could be used as alternative Original Research Article El-Hadidy et al.; AFSJ, 17(2): 1-9, 2020; Article no.AFSJ. 59193 2 natural source for synthetic antioxidants in industry. The indispensable and dispensable amino acids are more abundant in MTSP protein. Sensorial evaluation of the obtained products indicated that successful replacement was 4, 8 and 12% of MTSP. So, it could be recommended to use the investigated plant seeds in bread sticks production for its nutritional concept and antioxidative effects. Finally, the use of inexpensive available natural sources of bioactive material and incorporated to our low-cost foods for treatment or protection of our widespread disease is innovated road to produce low price therapeutic foods available to wide levels of our people.
Trajectory of a fourth-generation female entrepreneur as seen through a monomyth lens – Casa Ermelinda Freitas

Abstract As family business research has expanded and evolved there has been a growing need to incorporate new methodological approaches in the field. This article introduces the use of Campbell’s monomyth as a technique for narrative smoothing when structuring interview data, particularly that relating to entrepreneurial trajectories. The authors exemplify its use by applying it as a lens to characterize the trajectory of a fourth-generation woman entrepreneur, a wine producer in rural Portugal, and they discuss insights provided by this approach. The case analyzed is also presented as an exemplar of a narrative featuring a successful lifestyle entrepreneur as hero, one that demonstrates an alternative model to the common image of entrepreneur as a tech-savvy male would-be millionaire.
Mitochondrial phylogenomics reveals insights into taxonomy and evolution of Penaeoidea (Crustacea: Decapoda)

The taxonomy and phylogeny of Penaeoidea have long been fraught with controversy. Here, we carried out the first mitochondrial phylogenomic analysis on all the penaeoid families and tribes, including nine newly sequenced and 14 published mitogenomes, towards elucidating the phylogeny and evolutionary history of Penaeoidea. All these nine mitogenomes exhibit the pancrustacean ground pattern, except that Benthonectes filipes contains two additional clusters of tRNAAla, tRNAArg and tRNAAsn and an uncommon noncoding region. The resulted phylogenetic tree is generally well resolved with Benthesicymidae sister to Aristeidae, forming a clade with Solenoceridae. Contrary to traditional classification, this clade has a sister relationship with the tribe Penaeini of the family Penaeidae. The family Sicyoniidae is deeply nested within the penaeid tribe Trachypenaeini which forms a sister clade with the remaining penaeid tribe, Parapenaeini. As the family Penaeidae is recovered to be polyphyletic, the three tribes in Penaeidae are all elevated to familial status. On the other hand, the family Sicyoniidae is retained to accommodate Trachypenaeini because they are now synonyms and the former name is more senior. This work is the first molecular analysis concurring with the latest findings in fossil assessments showing that Parapeaneini is the most primitive in Penaeoidae. Our results also illustrate a shallow‐water origin and an onshore–offshore evolutionary shift in penaeoid shrimps.
Rheological Response of Polyethylene/Clay Nanocomposites to Annealing Treatment

The rheological response of a polyethylene/clay nanocomposite to annealing treatment under air and nitrogen atmospheres was studied. The treatment influences the rheology of the nanocomposite significantly. In particular, the viscosity and the non-Newtonian behavior dramatically increase with annealing time, and a liquid-like/solid-like transition is observed. The annealed samples were characterized by ATR-FT-IR spectrometry and it was shown that a silicate-rich layer is formed on the surface of the nanocomposite. This result was confirmed by TEM images of bulk and surface of annealed samples. It was demonstrated that the formation of this coating is the main cause of the change of rheological behavior.

Conclusion: In conclusion, our study showcased evidently that young adolescent girls are at higher risk of both gynaecological problems and menses disorders in the rural setting; for whom more amount of awareness to be parented and education of menstrual hygiene and hemodynamic effects has to be culminated through health education, for a future healthier nation.
Brain Abscess in a Patient With Radiotherapy-Treated Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Misdiagnosis Case Report and Review of the Literature

Brain abscesses are a relatively rare entity with an estimated incidence of 0.3 to 1.3 per 100,000 people per year. Brain abscesses arise from direct contiguous spread, hematogenous spread, neurosurgical procedures, open traumatic brain injuries, and cryptogenic sources. Early identification is pivotal, as delayed diagnosis and treatment lead to a very poor prognosis. Our case illustrates an elderly gentleman with a history of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the oropharyngeal palate who presented to an outside hospital with severe headaches and was found to have a questionable metastatic lesion to his left temporal region. He was discharged with a course of steroids. Weeks later his headaches persisted, mentation further declined and repeat imaging revealed the same abnormal lesion. He subsequently underwent a craniotomy and was found to have a significant temporal abscess and empyema, which were evacuated. Post-operatively his course was complicated by status epilepticus requiring intubation and he was ultimately placed on hospice care. Our case illustrates the importance of early recognition and intervention for suspicious lesions, particularly when predisposing risk factors exist.

Functional Imaging Connectome of the Human Brain and its Associations with Biological and Behavioral Characteristics

Functional connectome of the human brain explores the temporal associations of different brain regions. Functional connectivity (FC) measures derived from resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rfMRI) characterize the brain network at rest and studies have shown that rfMRI FC is closely related to individual subject’s biological and behavioral measures. In this thesis we investigate a large rfMRI dataset from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) and utilize statistical methods to facilitate the understanding of fundamental FC–behavior associations of the human brain. Our studies include reliability analysis of FC statistics, demonstration of FC spatial patterns, and predictive analysis of individual biological and behavioral measures using FC features. Covering both static and dynamic FC (sFC and dFC) characterizations, the baseline FC patterns in healthy young adults are illustrated. Predictive analyses demonstrate that individual biological and behavioral measures, such as gender, age, fluid intelligence and language scores, can be predicted using FC. While dFC by itself performs worse than sFC in prediction accuracy, if appropriate parameters and models are utilized, adding dFC features to sFC can significantly increase the predictive power. Results of this thesis contribute to the understanding of the neural underpinnings of individual biological and behavioral differences in the human brain.

The widespread use of herbal remedies and healthcare preparations, as those described in ancient texts such as the Vedas and the Bible, are obtained from commonly used traditional herbs and medicinal plants. Medicinal plant products could prove useful in minimizing the adverse effects of various chemotherapeutic agents as well as in prolonging longevity and attaining positive general health.
Occurrences of near-to-maximal speed-running bouts in elite soccer: insights for training prescription and injury mitigation

ABSTRACT Aim: To quantify the occurrence of near-to-maximal speed-running bouts in elite soccer players. Methods: Tracking match data from 35 professional players (23 ± 3 yrs) were analysed over four seasons (2015–2019). The number of runs reaching >80, >85 and >90% of players’ individual maximal sprinting speed (MSS) was computed. Differences in peak speed occurrences between halves and positions were analysed. Results: Occurrences were not different between halves, but slightly-to-moderately position-dependent, with wingers (3.5 ± 2.0 runs >80% per half) and central midfielders (1.6 ± 1.5 runs >80% per half) performing the most and the least number of near-to-maximal speed-running bouts. Players did not reach >90% of MSS at all in 35% (Attackers) to 65% (Midfielders) of their matches; they reached ≥3 times >90% MSS per match in 2% (Midfielders) to 11% (Attackers) of their matches only. The maximal number of cumulated match occurrences during congested periods was observed in acentral defender (2 runs >90% of MSS every 4 days for 31 days) and a winger (1 run every 4 days for 52 days). Conclusions: The occurrence of near-to-maximal speed-running bouts is low in elite soccer. Match context, playing position and individual player profile are the main determinants of those occurrences.
Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in an area of unrestricted viral circulation: Mass seroepidemiological screening in Castiglione d’Adda, Italy

Castiglione D’Adda is one of the municipalities more precociously and severely affected by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic in Lombardy. With our study we aimed to understand the diffusion of the infection by mass serological screening. We searched for SARS-CoV-2 IgGs in the entire population on a voluntary basis using lateral flow immunochromatographic tests (RICT) on capillary blood (rapid tests). We then performed chemioluminescent serological assays (CLIA) and naso-pharyngeal swabs (NPS) in a randomized representative sample and in each subject with a positive rapid test. Factors associated with RICT IgG positivity were assessed by uni- and multivariate logistic regression models. Out of the 4143 participants, 918 (22·2%) showed RICT IgG positivity. In multivariable analysis, IgG positivity increases with age, with a significant non-linear effect (p = 0·0404). We found 22 positive NPSs out of the 1330 performed. Albeit relevant, the IgG prevalence is lower than expected and suggests that a large part of the population remains susceptible to the infection. The observed differences in prevalence might reflect a different infection susceptibility by age group. A limited persistence of active infections could be found after several weeks after the epidemic peak in the area.
Students' Degree of Possessing Digital-Citizenship Skills from Their Points of View at Al-Balqa Applied University

The study aimed to identify Al-Balqa Applied University students' degree of possessing digital-citizenship skills from their points of view, showing its relationship to the (gender and type of academic speciality) variables. The study used the descriptive curriculum where the information was collected through a questionnaire comprising (30) items distributed to three disciplines. The sample of the study comprised (400) male and female students who were selected randomly for the first semester of the academic year (2019-2020). The study concluded that Al-Balqa Applied –University students' degree of possessing digital -citizenship skills was "high" in all disciplines with an average (3.83). There were no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) among the averages of the sample respondents' responses regarding the study variables. The study recommended increasing the technical support provided for Jordanian universities to develop digital skills and safety among students. This can be done by providing them with modern technological devices and implementing pioneering technological programs and projects in cooperation with private-sector institutions and companies. Besides, the study recommended raising awareness of the principles of digital citizenship to all segments of society and taking measures to ensure safety in the digital society. Also, preparing other studies on digital citizenship should be made to cover other stages of education, such as school and secondary education, postgraduate studies, and university professors.
Hoeffding-Blum-Kiefer-Rosenblatt independence test statistic on partly not identically distributed data

Abstract The established Hoeffding-Blum-Kiefer-Rosenblatt independence test statistic is investigated for partly not identically distributed data. Surprisingly, it turns out that the statistic has the well-known distribution-free limiting null distribution of the classical criterion under standard regularity conditions. An application is testing goodness-of-fit for the regression function in a non parametric random effects meta-regression model, where the consistency is obtained as well. Simulations investigate size and power of the approach for small and moderate sample sizes. A real data example based on clinical trials illustrates how the test can be used in applications.
