ABSTRACT GENDER DIFFERENCES IN VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION IN MIXED-GENDER GROUPS

GENDER DIFFERENCES IN VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION IN MIXED-GENDER GROUPS Jasmin Martinez, M.A. Department of Psychology Northern Illinois University, 2017 Alecia M. Santuzzi, Director Gender differences in communication patterns have a long-explored history in social psychology, resulting in evidence for a number of different theories building from research in individual differences in personality, social role, and self-categorization theory, as well as intergroup interactions and group status research. This project integrates the theoretical perspectives and examines the extent to which gender differences in communication behaviors vary by situational factors implied by those theories. The following two-part study relies on observational coding of existing social interaction data and a laboratory experiment to examine whether and how men and women alter their behavioral communication patterns as a function of the gender composition in that context. Study 1 used archival data (video-recorded dyadic interactions) to test for differences in men and women’s low-status and high-status behavioral patterns. Results found that there were no effects of participant or partner gender on low status behavior, though there were interesting effects on the gender of surrounding others on high status behaviors. The more women a group contained, the fewer the displays of high status behaviors. When each outcome was analyzed separately, analyses also found that groups with more women generated less forward leaning and more direct body orientation. Also, women displayed more nodding and less direct eye contact than men. Study 2 utilized video-recordings of participants in a salient group context to test the possible effects of gender composition on highand low-status communication patterns. Results for Study 2 show that group composition did not have a significant effect on either verbal or non-verbal behaviors. NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY DEKALB, ILLINOIS
A Human-on-the-Loop Autonomy Architecture for Resident-AUV Undersea Support Infrastructure

The use of Resident Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (R-AUVs) is a necessary step towards increasing the safety and reliability of undersea infrastructure ranging from communication cables to oil pipelines and undersea observatories. Undersea Support Infrastructure (USI) for R-AUVs will provide docking, energy and communication services. Furthermore, it will be able to autonomously interact with R-AUVs, while enabling remote human operators to oversee, and in some cases direct, the R-AUVs and USI operations. This is particularly critical in situations where assured communications between operators and the USI are not guaranteed. This paper proposes an autonomy architecture for USIs that pursues a vertical and horizontal separationof-concerns architecture-design approach and builds on welldocumented autonomy and autonomic system design principles. Horizontal separation allows for configuration strategies and behavior policies to be defined, selected, executed and monitored by loosely coupled planning modules acting as arbitrators. Vertical separation enables decision making components to be grouped according to the timeliness of the decisions they must make. Our autonomy architecture features a dual, local and global, planning layer that provides an interface for the operator to interact with the USI, enables human-on-the-loop autonomy, and supports autonomous operations in situations where the communications between the operator and the USI are unreliable and intermittent. A use case for this architecture in the context of future at-sea inspection, maintenance, and repair services for the oil and gas industry is discussed. Keywords–Autonomy architecture; resident autonomous underwater vehicles; inspection, maintenance and repair; humanmachine interaction.
Predicting the 25th solar cycle using deep learning methods based on sunspot area data

It is a significant task to predict the solar activity for space weather and solar physics. All kinds of approaches have been used to forecast solar activities, and they have been applied to many areas such as the solar dynamo of simulation and space mission planning. In this paper, we employ the long-short-term memory (LSTM) and neural network autoregression (NNAR) deep learning methods to predict the upcoming 25th solar cycle using the sunspot area (SSA) data during the period of May 1874 to December 2020. Our results show that the 25th solar cycle will be 55% stronger than Solar Cycle 24 with a maximum sunspot area of 3115±401 and the cycle reaching its peak in October 2022 by using the LSTM method. It also shows that deep learning algorithms perform better than the other commonly used methods and have high application value.
Search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in μ ± μ ± + jets events in proton–proton collisions at

A search is performed for heavy Majorana neutrinos (N) using an event signature deﬁned by two muons of the same charge and two jets ( μ ± μ ± jj). The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb − 1 of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. No excess of events is observed beyond the expected standard model background and upper limits are set on | V μ N | 2 as a function of Majorana neutrino mass m N for masses in the range of 40–500 GeV, where V μ N is the mixing element of the heavy neutrino with the standard model muon neutrino. The limits obtained are | V μ N | 2 < 0 . 00470 for m N = 90 GeV, | V μ N | 2 < 0 . 0123 for m N = 200 GeV, and | V μ N | 2 < 0 . 583 for m N = 500 GeV. These results extend considerably the regions excluded by previous direct searches. an
Adapting cognitive-behavioral therapy for a Malaysian muslim

Background: Over the years, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) has gained momentum because of its robust evidence in the treatment of several disorders. However, there is an issue of religious and cultural appropriateness as CBT principles are based on Western conceptualization. This single‐case study (N = 1) implements a culturally and religiously adapted CBT on a 34‐year‐old male with panic disorder with agoraphobia in Malaysia. The client had symptoms comprising various episodes of sudden onset of breathlessness, accelerated heart rate, and fear of dying for the last 14 years. The CBT was culturally and religiously adapted based on (1) A CBT manual in Bahasa Malaysia that was previously modified and adjusted according to the norms of the Malaysian society and (2) General guidelines in "Religious–Cultural Psychotherapy in the Management of Anxiety Patients" by Razali et al in 2002. The present modified CBT had 3 assessments formulation sessions and 12 intervention sessions. Methods: The first 6 sessions were based on the behaviour component of CBT (ie, a relaxation technique using Islamic prayer, reciting verses from the Holy Quran, slow breathing exercise, body scan, and progressive muscular relaxation). However, sessions 7 to 12 were focused on cognitive restructuring and exercises, such as identification of negative automatic thoughts, cognitive distortions, dysfunctional thought records, vertical arrow technique, and the coping statement was practised through collaborative empiricism, while implementing Islamic and cultural elements. The focus of termination sessions was on interoceptive exposure, cognitive rehearsal, and in vivo situational exposure. Results: Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was administered at regular intervals. BAI scores revealed the effectiveness of adapting the intervention. Conclusion: Panic attacks, worry about panic attacks, and anxiety scores reduced remarkably and the client was able to go out of the house, travel independently, and pursue religious/social activities.
COVID-19 Infection Leading to Lethal Spondylodiscitis with Spinal Abscess

Background and Importance: Secondary complications after SARS-CoV-2 virus infection including cardiovascular and neurological pose additional morbidity and mortality. The data on spondylodiscitis with spinal abscess after COVID-19 infection is very limited. Case Presentation: A 71-year-old man presented with tachypnea and cough since 24 hours before admission. He was febrile and his chest CT showed typical picture of bilateral covid-19 pneumonia. Nasopharyngeal swabs showed a positive PCR for COVID-19. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to low oxygen saturation. Forty-eight hours after admission, the patient started to develop paraparesis which rapidly progressed to paraplegia within a few hours. In MRI scan, multilevel spondylodiscitis and epidural abscess in the thoracic spine were observed. Urgent surgery was performed and the patient was treated medically with hydroxychloroquine and Favipiravir for COVID-19. Calculated antibiotic treatment with meropenem and vancomycin. No COVID-19 was detected in the abscess samples. The patient passed away later due to multiorgan failure. Conclusion: Spondylodiscitis with spinal abscess secondary to COVID-19 infection is a severe condition and might be a consequence of dysbalanced immune response with immunodepression after COVID-19 infection.
Early Prediction of Museum Visitor Engagement with Multimodal Adversarial Domain Adaptation

Recent years have seen significant interest in multimodal frameworks for modeling learner engagement in educational settings. Multimodal frameworks hold particular promise for predicting visitor engagement in interactive science museum exhibits. Multimodal models often utilize video data to capture learner behavior, but video cameras are not always feasible, or even desirable, to use in museums. To address this issue while still harnessing the predictive capacities of multimodal models, we investigate adversarial discriminative domain adaptation for generating modality-invariant representations of both unimodal and multimodal data captured from museum visitors as they engage with interactive science museum exhibits. This approach enables the use of pre-trained multimodal visitor engagement models in circumstances where multimodal instrumentation is not available. We evaluate the visitor engagement models in terms of early prediction performance using exhibit interaction and facial expression data captured during visitor interactions with a science museum exhibit for environmental sustainability. Through the use of modality-invariant data representations generated by the adversarial discriminative domain adaptation framework, we find that pre-trained multimodal models achieve competitive predictive performance on interaction-only data compared to models evaluated using complete multimodal data. The multimodal framework outperforms unimodal and non-adapted baseline approaches during early intervals of exhibit interactions as well as entire interaction sequences.

CYTOGENETIC STUDY OF CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA IN ERBIL CITY KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ

Chronic myeloid leukemia is a rare form of cancer that affects blood cells and is characterized by a genetic mutation between chromosome (9) and chromosome (22) known by reciprocal t(9;22) (q34;q11) translocation, Which leads to composition of the chimerical fusion gene (BCR-ABL1) on chromosome (22), which is known after that by (Philadelphia chromosome). More than (90%) of chronic myeloid leukemia patients are diagnosed with presence of Philadelphia chromosome. The present study was carried out on (40) patients who were suffering from Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Erbil city and (10) healthy individuals as a control group in both sex and different age groups. Blood samples were collected and chromosomal study was performed. The research concluded the effect of several factors, including that most cases were between the age group (41-50) and among males more than females. Also the percentage of illness in relation to the type of occupation was among most females who were housewives at (42%). As for the patients' living location, between inside and outside the city, the result was somewhat close to each other even when taking into consideration the proportion of males and females. As for the occurrence of types of chromosomal aberrations, the study showed that the highest value of chromosomal aberrations was in (Dicentric chromosome), specifically in females of the age group (41-50).
Variability of soil properties in an intensively cultivated experimental field

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine whether long-term intensive cultivation that used variable ploughing and fertilisation technologies and schemes influences the differentiation of soil properties which may impact the results of growing experiments in a relatively small experimental field (0.1 ha). The field under study is located in Wrocław, in an agricultural experimental station that has been operating for more than 60 years. A transformation of rusty gleyic soils (Brunic Gleyic Arenosols) into anthropogenic black earths (Gleyic Phaeozems (Arenic)) was noticed. The content of organic carbon and nitrogen, pH and the content of exchangeable base cations in the plough layer were positively (statistically and spatially) correlated and their increased values were observed in soils with a deeper and darker plough level. The present differentiation of the physical and chemical properties of soils in the experimental field do not result from such primary soil-forming factors as a kind and texture of parent material, topography, moisture regime, or (micro-)climatic conditions, which are not differentiated within the field, but from various intensity of former cultivation on individual sections of the experimental field. The variability cśfficient of the crucial soil properties was found to exceed 30%, which might significantly influence the results of micro-plot vegetation experiments.
Statistical investigation on the formation of sunspot light bridges

Light bridges (LBs) are bright lanes that divide one sunspot umbra into two or more parts. Though frequently observed in sunspots, their formation mechanisms have rarely been studied and thus are not well understood. Here we present results from the first statistical investigation on the formation of LBs. Using observations with the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory, we identified 144 LBs within 71 active regions (ARs) over the whole year of 2014. The formation processes of these LBs can be categorized into three groups: penumbral intrusion (type-A), sunspot merging (type-B) and umbral-dot emergence (type-C). The numbers of events in these three categories are 74, 57 and 13, respectively. The duration of the LB formation process is mostly less than 40 hours, with an average of ∼20 hours. Most LBs have a maximum length of less than 20″. For type-A LBs, we found a positive correlation between the LB length and the duration of the LB formation process, suggesting a similar speed of penumbral intrusion in different sunspots.
Entropy Generation of Shell and Double Concentric Tubes Heat Exchanger

Entropy generation was studied for new type of heat exchanger (shell and double concentric tubes heat exchanger). Parameters of hot oil flow rate, temperature of inlet hot oil and pressure drop were investigated with the concept of entropy generation. The results showed that the value of entropy generation increased with increasing the flow rate of hot oil and when cold water flow rate was doubled from 20 to 40 l/min, these values were larger. On the other hand, entropy generation increased with increasing the hot oil inlet temperature at a certain flow rate of hot oil. Furthermore, at a certain hot oil inlet temperature, the entropy generation increased with the pressure drop at different hot oil inlet flow rates. Finally, in order to keep up with modern technology, infrared thermography camera was used in order to measure the temperatures. The entropy generation was determined with lower values when infrared thermography camera was used to measure the temperatures, compared with the values obtained by using thermocouples.
Prevalence of ticks and tick-borne disease agents at sentinel sites on Nantucket and Tuckernuck , Massachusetts – Year 1

Tick-borne diseases such as Lyme, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis are a continuing threat to public health in New England due to the abundance of infected blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis). The goals of this project are to monitor blacklegged and invading lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) at sentinel sites on the islands of Nantucket and Tuckernuck to document current conditions and provide a baseline for detecting changes over time. Results from three field seasons (2020-2022) will be used to inform the public and develop cost-effective procedures for monitoring abundances of these ticks and the disease agents that infect them. In June 2020, we selected ten sentinel sites where it is feasible to drag-sample for ticks along established trails, nine on Nantucket and one on Tuckernuck. At each site, we characterized the vegetation and sampled ticks on four days to report mean numbers of ticks per kilometer of trail. Densities of blacklegged nymphs were greatest at sites with the most tree canopy and shade, and lowest at sites with the least shade, such as open grasslands. Nymph densities were high at sites
THE EFFECT OF ADDING MINT OIL TO THE DIET ON SOME PRODUCTIVE AND PHYSIOLOGICAL TRAITS OF MALE LAMBS

The current study has been conducted in the animal field of the College of Agriculture / Department of Animal Production, for the period from 26/5/2019 to 26/8/2019, in addition to the preliminary period of 14 days, and the trial period lasted 90 days, 16 male lambs from Awassi sheep have been used in this study bought from the market after weaning then divided on the basis of live body weight into four groups (treatments) of equal number (4 lambs / group). The first treatment was considered a control treatment and peppermint oil was added to it at rates of 400, 800, 1200 μl / lamb / day to the concentrated diet respectively to the second, third and fourth treatments. Peppermint oil has added daily to the concentrated fodder and the results exhibited that adding mint oil to the final weight of Awassi lambs led to a significant increase in treatment T3, reaching 30.00 kg compared with treatment T1 (The control), which reached 26.50 kg and treatment T4 was in the middle between them (28.75) kg. The addition of peppermint oil to the diets of Awassi lambs had a clear effect on increasing the efficiency of the food conversion, the conversion efficiency of the concentrated fodder, and the conversion efficiency of the protein intake for the experimental diets shown in the table, as the best treatment in the efficiency of the food conversion on the basis of total fodder consumption (g / day) / increase Daily weight (g / day) In lambs fed on fodder T3 (7.83) and that the best nutrient conversion efficiency when calculated on the basis of metabolized energy intake (mJ) / daily weight gain (g / day) is the treatment T3 compared with the rest of the treatments.
Differences Of Carcinoembryonic Antigens Levels Before And After Adjuvant Capecitabine Chemotherapy In Post-Colorectal Cancer Operations In Rsup H. Adam Malik Medan In 2019

Background: The 2006 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) recommendation states that Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is checked before surgery to aid in staging or planning of action as well as in assessing the response to adjuvant chemotherapy. Chemotherapy in colorectal cancer can be performed as adjuvant, neoadjuvant, or palliative therapy. One type of chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients is capecitabine. Capecitabine is a type of adjuvant chemotherapy with oral preparations that has advantages in terms of flexibility of use, is not invasive, and is less costly. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to see differences in CEA levels before and after capecitabine chemotherapy and to determine the effectiveness of capecitabine in postoperative colorectal cancer patients at RSUP H Adam Malik Medan in 2019 Methods: This research is an experimental analytical study, by taking research samples starting from January to December 2019 in colorectal cancer patients who have undergone definitive surgery and underwent chemotherapy for at least 8 cycles. Results: There was a decrease in CEA levels after chemotherapy, namely 4.95 (0.5786) ng/ml compared to before chemotherapy, 5.7 (0.5876.9) ng/ml with p=0.001. There are complete effectiveness and response from the administration of capecitabine adjuvant chemotherapy after 8 cycles in colorectal cancer patients, namely 17 samples (29.3%). Conclusion: There are differences in CEA levels between before and after chemotherapy with capecitabine in colorectal cancer patients
Quality of Life and Related Factors Among Hepatitis B Virus Infected Individuals

Introduction: Hepatitis B is a health problem in the world, including Indonesia. We analyzed several factors associated with the quality of life of chronic hepatitis B patients. Methods: We obtained information from Hepatitis B patients using the WHO Quality of Life questionnaire. Data analysis conducted in this study was a chi-square test and a multivariate logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratios (OR). Results: Housewives with hepatitis B had a better quality of life than employees (P = 0.002), after adjusted with age, sex, and medicine regularly, they had 21 times higher quality of life (OR = 21.51, CI 1.448-319.432, P = 0.026). Lower income in the family had a higher good and very good quality life (P = 0.001), patients who covered by government social insurance feel a better quality of life (P = 0.006). Also hepatitis B patients who diagnosed less than or equal 2 years and duration treatment less than or equal 1 year were better quality life (P = 0.002; P = 0.001). Patients were not taking medicine regularly and infected from husband had a lesser quality of life (P = 0.006). After adjusted with age, sex and employment status, medicine regularly had 19 times higher quality of life than without (OR = 19.37, CI 1.144-327.785, P = 0.040). Patients who reacted and feel shocked and denial had better quality of life (P = 0.011). However, we could not find any association between sex, age, ethnics, marital status and educational background with quality of life (P = 0.962, P = 0.919, P = 0.320, P = 0.233 and P = 0.209, respectively). Conclusion: The quality of life of hepatitis B patients influenced by several factors including the length of time diagnosed, the environment support, routine treatment, complications, the severity of the disease and economic factors.
