61-Twilight of the self: the uncanny

Sigmund Freud dealt with the subject of self, thus he contributed to the western philosophy which had always associated self with logos. During the 1880s, Freud was close to the idea that a self lacking itself existed while he was challenging the traditional understanding of the self with the cogito. Freud, as a psychoanalyst, approached the presence of the self by observing and trying to decode the human. His starting point was the word, uncanny so he handled just a word to start questioning the self whose presence and absence are equal when Freud’s views are taken into consideration. Freud began to resolve his question by searching the word’s meaning. His initial crux was the German word ‘heimlich’ which he, then, found out to mean ‘unheimlich’. Consequently, he united the two different words forming the term uncanny. At this juncture, this research reflects on how Freud concludes - in terms of functioning and purpose - that ‘self’ means ‘otherness’ bearing in mind the effects of the uncanny on the multiplicity of the self, the decay of logos and mind, the truthfulness of images and meanings, and the unity of the conscious and the unconscious as well as focusing on whether the uncanny is an interdisciplinary term or not, as it is still a widely used term in our modern era in different fields of studies such as literature and visual arts. The research consists of three parts to try to show what the uncanny is and how this psychoanalytical term could be used in literature and other fields and the possible projections in the future. responsible for the quite unparalleled atmosphere of uncanniness evoked by the story. Nor is this atmosphere heightened by the fact that the author himself treats the episode of Olympia with a faint touch of satire and uses it to poke fun at the young man’s idealization of his mistress. The main theme of the story is, on the contrary, something different, something which gives it its name, and which is always re-introduced at critical moments: it is the theme of the ‘Sand-Man’ who tears out children’s eyes. (Freud, 1919, p.5) Viewers are confused because they are initially uncertain if they are looking at a human or a work of art. Hanson's sculpture The Jogger is particularly disturbing because it depicts a middle-aged man sitting on the floor in pain; a typical audience instinctively gathers around him to see if he needs help.

Influence of Sulphur and Boron on Growth and Yield of Garden Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from October, 2018 to March, 2019 to study the influence of sulphur and boron on growth and yield of garden pea. The experiment comprised of two factors. Factor A: Levels of Sulphur (4 levels); S0: 0 kg S/ha (Control), S1: 10 kg S/ha, S2: 20 kg S/ha, S3: 30 kg S/ha and Factor B: Levels of Boron (4 levels); B0: 0 kg B/ha (Control), B1: 1 kg B/ha, B2: 2 kg B/ha, B3: 3 kg B/ha. This experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Blocked Design (RCBD) with three replications. Sulphur and Boron application influenced significantly on most of the parameters. In case of sulphur, maximum plant height (50.84 cm), number of pods per plant (14.00), pod length (8.95 cm), number of seeds per pod (5.56) and green pod yield (10.76 t/ha) were recorded from S3 treatment. In case of boron application, maximum plant height (49.17 cm), Original Research Article Das et al.; AJAHR, 7(4): 1-13, 2020; Article no.AJAHR. 64009 2 number of pods per plant (13.48), pod length (8.66 cm), number of seeds per pod (5.41) and green pod yield (10.14 t/ha) were found in B2 treatment. Among the treatment combination, S3B2 treatment gave the highest green pod yield (12.19 t/ha) and the lowest (5.38 t/ha) was obtained from S0B0 treatment. So, garden pea sown at 30 kg S/ha with 2 kg B/ha for suitable green pea production in Dhaka region.

This paper presents a comprehensive statistical evaluation of the conductivity performance of PEDOT/PSS films generated at various spin coating speeds (1000 to 5000 rpm) by correspondence analysis (CA), regression and ANOVA models. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is a highly conducting insoluble polymer which, when doped with poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PSS) in water, results in a dispersion with good film forming properties. Our interest in PEDOT/PSS is in its application as an interfacial layer and gate electrode in organic photovoltaic and organic field effect transistor devices, respectively. The generation of a homogeneous spun-cast layer of PEDOT/PSS over the entire substrate for these intended applications is a function of the spin-coating speed which, in turn, affects the thickness of the film and, consequently, its conductivity measured by the four point probe. From correspondence analysis, we find that only the 1000 rpm spin-coating speed is strongly associated with high thickness and high resistivity (i.e. low conductivity), although further analysis of speeds 2000 5000 rpm shows that the spin-coating speed is still associated with the thickness of the films, and subsequently, their conductivities, such that the thinnest and most conductive films result from the highest spin-coating speed (5000 rpm). We also observed the phenomenon of the horseshoe effect from the CA displays and discussed the reasons for not resorting to detrending solutions for dealing with its presence. From multiple and nonlinear regression models, spin-coating speeds 1000 and 2000 rpm were found to produce films of less precise conductivity values as reflected in the absolute value of mean of residuals of nonlinear regression models while more precise and optimal conductivity values are obtained when the films are generated between 3000 and 5000 rpm. The ANOVA models showed that the means of conductivity of films obtained at 1000 rpm is statistically significantly different to those from higher spin coating speeds and that there is no significant difference between the conductivity of films generated using spin coating speeds 2000 and 3000 rpm and between spin coating speeds 4000 and 5000 rpm. Further, the conductivity of films from spin coating speeds 4000-5000 rpm are higher and more precise than those obtained at 2000-3000 rpm. Based on the results of this study, we have standardised conductivity measurements of PEDOT/PSS films using the four-point probe by spin-coating at 4000-5000 rpm in order to obtain optimal and reproducible conductivity values.
TREHALOSE ACCUMULATION PROVIDES DROUGHT TOLERANCE TO GENETICALLY-MODIFIED MAIZE IN OPEN FIELD TRIALS

Drought stress has a profound negative effect on agriculture. It is one of the most important factors limiting plant growth, which in turn affects animal and human consumption (Ahuja et al., 2010; Gong et al., 2014). In agricultural areas, crop growth depends on water availability. It is neither necessarily a choice of the producer nor is controlled by consumer demand. Different experimental approaches have been developed to obtain drought-tolerant plants, such as traditional breeding, molecular marker-assisted breeding and genetic engineering (Xoconostle-Cázares et al., 2010). Drought tolerance is a quantitative trait thus, several gene products are involved in determining such a trait. Several metabolites have been associated with the coordination of both physiological and biochemical mechanisms that underlie drought tolerance in certain plant species. These in principal could be employed to provide such properties to susceptible varieties. In the resurrection plant Selaginella spp, a drought tolerant plants, the accumulation of the disaccharide trehalose is correlated to their tolerance to abiotic stress (Adams et al., 1990; Müller et al., 1995; Van-Dijk et al., 2002). Trehalose is synthesized in two enzymatic steps by trehalose phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalose phosphate phosphatase (TPP) (Cabib and Leloir, 1958; Avonce et al., 2004). Trehalose levels are negatively regulated by the enzyme trehalase, which hydrolyzes this disaccharide, yielding two glucose molecules (Gibson et al., 2007). Extant evidence has shown that trehalose and trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) can also modulate other processes in plants, such as regulation of carbon metabolism and flower induction (Schluepmann et al., 2003; Van Dijken et al., 2004). Indeed, Arabidopsis tps1 mutants have a delay in flowering (Wahl et al., 2013), while its overexpression associated to the vasculature induces early flowering (Ruiz-Salas et al., 2016). Trehalose has also been described as a modulator of photosynthetic rate by inducing the expression of photosystem II core complex proteins (psbY), Rubisco small subunit (RBCS 3B), Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) and Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (ALDP1) (Paul et al., 2001; Kondrák et al., 2011). Indeed, a truncated trehalose-6-phosphate synthase from Arabidopsis and Pak. J. Agri.

SOME INITIAL EFFECTS OF HURRICANE HUGO ON ENDANGERED AND ENDEMIC SPECIES OF WEST INDIAN BIRDS byJ .

Guadeloupe, and Dominica. Each of these islands harbor endangered, threatened, or otherwise vulnerable species ofendemic forest birds. We report on Hurricane Hugo's initial •mpacts to and consequences for some West Indian birds following the storm's landfalls during midSeptember 1989 in the eastern Caribbean. We summarize damage to each island, contrast Hugo's •mpacts on birds with other historical hurricanes, and briefly evaluate these catastrophic events with respect to future conservation strategies for island birds. We noted the following general forms of initial damage to forest habitats on all fbur islands: uprooting of trees in windfalls ("throw"), usually localized and confined to narrow swaths and exposed hillsides, trees shorn of crowns and major limbs by high winds but remaining upright, and defoliation of all leaves, flowers, and fruits. Less catastrophic forms of hurricaneinduced amage may result in suspension of fruiting and flowering for three or more years in highland forests (Johnson 1988). However, due to increased sunlight now reaching understories, delayed flowering and fruiting occurred at higher than normal levels in Puerto Rican mid-level and lowland forests
Comparison of Analytical Theory with Brownian Dynamics Simulations for Small Linear and Circular DNAs

An approximate analytical theory is constructed for the optical anisotropy of a circular weakly bending filament. It is argued that such circles exhibit very nearly dynamical mean local cylindrical symmetry, despite their inherent curvature. This theory and the corresponding approximate analytical theory for weakly bending rods are tested by fitting each theory to the results of Brownian dynamics simulations, in which all of the relevant forces are included. A rigorous derivation is presented for the force arising from the torsion potential, which couples torsional strain to writhing and crankshaft motions, and a new more convenient expression is obtained. Simulations of equilibrium trajectories performed with and without this force show that it has no significant effect on the optical anisotropy of either circular or linear filaments with parameters appropriate for DNA. However, when large net torsional strains are introduced into planar circles, this force enormously enhances the rate at which twist is .
Role Centrality and Shared Activities with Grandchildren: Effects on Grandparent Wellbeing

Role Centrality and Shared Activities with Grandchildren: Effects on Grandparent Wellbeing Madeline M. Marello Research shows that physical and mental health are closely linked (Ohrnberger, Fichera, & Sutton, 2017). Further, social role theory states that holding and enacting valued roles, such as grandparenting, can buffer the negative effects of health on depression (Reitzes & Mutran, 2004). Using data from 247 grandparents (Mean age = 66.5; range 42 to 90 years; 46.2% grandfathers), we examined whether grandparent role centrality and engagement with grandchildren altered the effects of physical health on depression. We then explored model differences between 164 custodial and 83 traditional grandparents. We found that for all grandparents the model was of sufficient fit: X (DF = 12, N = 247) = 39.15, p < . 001; R2 = . 236; CMIN/DF = 3.26, TLI = . 955, and RMSEA = . 068. Inspection of the individual regression paths showed that among the full sample, significant main effects for Role Centrality (β = .699***) and Activities (β = -.768***) on Depression were detected. However, significant main effects for Subjective Health (β = -.034) did not emerge. All interactions were significant in predicting depression, the three-way interaction term Subjective Health, Role Centrality, and Activities additionally accounted for depression variance (β = -1.062***). We then examined whether the paths were moderated by custodial status. The model accounted for 25.7% of depression among traditional grandparents, however, no paths emerged as significant. The model accounted for 36.8% of depression among custodial grandparents, and all paths were significant. Among custodial grandparents, there were significant effects on Depression from Subjective Health (β = .439***), with main effects for Role Centrality (β = .635**) and Activities (β = -.711**). Moreover, each interaction term also emerged as significant with the 3-way interaction of Health, Role Centrality, and Activities accounting for additional variance in depression (β = -.445*). Custodial grandparents in poorer health who valued the grandparent role and those in poorer health who engaged with their grandchildren experienced fewer depressive symptoms than grandparents who do not engage with grandchildren. Results are discussed in terms of the need to examine the differences of family/social contexts in grandparent populations. ROLE CENTRALITY AND SHARED ACTIVITIES iii Table of

Being Small at the Right Moment: Path Dependence after a Shift in the Technological Regime

This paper explores the impact of technological change on industry concentration and the underlying firm dynamics. In the agent-based model EURACE@Unibi I implement a paradigm shift in the technological frontier - a shift from a slow to a fast growing regime. The analysis shows that the acceleration in technological change causes a strong increase in market concentration. The rellocation of market shares towards a few large firms is driven by diverging productivities and skills across firms. An ex-post analysis reveals that after the paradigm shift small, but undervalued firms become the large dominating ones in the long-run. Their success gets initiated by a fortunate outcome on the labor market, which increases their skill level. With the faster technological change, their high skilled workforce incentivizes them to invest at the frontier and to build up the most productive capital stock. A virtuous cycle between their decisions on the labor and capital market further increases the productivity gap towards competitors enabling their rise.
Antecedents of employee wellbeing in the banking sector: the moderating role of working environment

This study examined the influence of work-life balance, work stress, employee engagement, and working environment on employee wellbeing in the banking sector of Pakistan. Due to complex human resource policies in Pakistan, employee wellbeing is neglected in several banking institutions; this study addresses a research gap in this way. Drawing upon job demands-resources theory, the study employed a quantitative methodology through a survey of 360 employees from private and public banks in Pakistan. The results from PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling) demonstrate that employee engagement and work stress are significantly related to employee wellbeing, while working environment has a significant interactive effect between employee engagement and employee wellbeing. Theoretically, the study contributes to broadening the existing literature on human resource management. Practically, this study provides guidelines to human resource practitioners, managers, and policymakers on devising strategies for their employee wellbeing in going forward.

Psychodynamic and systemic group treatment for women with a history of childhood sexual abuse: five-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial

ABSTRACT Background: Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is a significant trauma that may have lifelong impact. Due to the long-term negative personal and societal consequences of CSA, it is crucial to find treatments with enduring outcomes. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relative long-term efficacy of psychodynamic and systemic group therapy for adult women exposed to CSA. Method: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted with outcomes assessed at pre- and post-treatment, and 1 and 5 years post-treatment. All analyses were intention-to-treat. One hundred and six women with sequelae from childhood sexual abuse were treated with psychodynamic or systemic group therapy. Primary outcome was Global Severity Index (GSI) of SCL-90-R. Secondary outcomes included symptoms of PTSD and depression and psycho-social functioning. Results: Treatment was completed by 81% of participants; 64% completed the 1-year follow-up and 60% completed the 5-year follow-up. Completion rates did not differ between treatments. Significant reduction in symptoms measured on GSI and improvement of psychosocial functioning was found for both interventions at all measurement points after treatment (ES range = 0.68–1.19). However, different trajectories were observed: while outcome at end of treatment was significantly better in the systemic group, no differences in gains were observed at the 1- and 5-year follow-ups when controlling for baseline differences. Conclusions: The findings add to the evidence base for psychodynamic and systemic group therapy, but the result also underscores the importance of taking post-treatment trajectories into account in evidence-based research, in the continued efforts to improve treatment for this population.
Shared Developmental Trajectories for Fractional Reasoning and Fine Motor Ability in 4 and 5 Year-Olds

We investigated preschool-aged children’s understanding of early fractional tasks and how that performance correlates with fine motor skills and use of gestures while counting. Participants were 33 preschoolers aged 4 to 5 in two Southeastern public elementary schools. Children were tested individually in an interview-like setting. Mathematics tasks were presented in a paper and pencil format and the Grooved Pegboard test assessed fine motor skills. Finally, utilization of gestures was evaluated by taking a behavioral rating of the child’s hand morphology, accuracy of gestures, and synchrony of gestures and spoken word while performing a counting task. Results indicate performance on fractional reasoning tasks significantly predicts both fine motor ability and accuracy of gestures.
The use of probiotics in depression

Probiotics are thought to play a role in the extensive bidirectional communication between gut microbiota and the brain. A growing body of preclinical data suggests that probiotics may be effective in alleviating low mood and improving depressive symptoms. Preliminary evidence derived from studies in rodent models supports the view that single-strain or multi-strain preparations of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are able to improve behaviors related to depression. The extent of antidepressant effects in humans with a clinical diagnosis of depression is less clear. While some support for the efficacy of probiotic supplementation has been found, the pooled effects in meta-analyses have generally been small. The positive effects reported for probiotics in major depression should be regarded as preliminary. Large, randomized trials assessing the efficacy of specific probiotic strain combinations over various time spans in individuals with clinically significant presentations of depression are needed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of probiotics. In light of accumulating evidence showing that probiotics may have beneficial effects in reducing depressive symptoms and may be useful as an adjunct intervention in major depressive disorder, the efficacy of probiotic foods in the prevention of depression should be investigated.
