The Role of Risk Preferences in Responses to Messaging About COVID-19 Vaccine Take-Up

Development of an effective COVID-19 vaccine is widely considered as one of the best paths to ending the current health crisis. While the ability to distribute a vaccine in the short-term remains uncertain, the availability of a vaccine alone will not be sufficient to stop disease spread. Instead, policy makers will need to overcome the additional hurdle of rapid widespread adoption. In a large-scale nationally representative survey (N = 34,200), the current work identifies monetary risk preferences as a correlate of take-up of an anticipated COVID-19 vaccine. A complementary experiment (N = 1,003) leverages this insight to create effective messaging encouraging vaccine take-up. Individual differences in risk preferences moderate responses to messaging that provides benchmarks for vaccine efficacy (by comparing it to the flu vaccine), while messaging that describes pro-social benefits of vaccination (specifically herd immunity) speeds vaccine take-up irrespective of risk preferences. Findings suggest that policy makers should consider risk preferences when targeting vaccine-related communications.
Prevalence and Risk Factor of Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease among Hail Population, Saudi Arabia

Aims: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that develops when the contents of the stomach reflux into the esophagus due to large hiatal hernia or lower esophageal sphincter dysfunction. The common symptoms of the disease include heartburn and regurgitation. It takes place mainly among youngers, females, and obese people. The aims of the study include GERD prevalence among Hail population and the related risk factors. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Hail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Between July to December 2020. Methodology: A cross-sectional study conducted with 704 subjects aged more than 15 years, through self-administered questionnaire consisting of 22 questions. The questionnaire included demographic data, GERD clinical symptoms, and individual behaviour. Statistical data analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Results: Out of 704 subjects, nearly half of the participants were males (51.7%). GERD was found in 408 (58%) participants among them 276 (39.2%) had mild symptoms, 9.9%, had moderate symptoms and 62 (8.8%) had severe condition. Most significant predictors of GERD (P <0.05) were Females with chronic health problems, anxiety, and having Spicy food. The participants with sports activity had less risk to develop GERD. Conclusion: The results showed high prevalence of GERD among Hail population with many significant predictors. Public health providers should increase awareness about GERD and its significant effects on community.
Going Green (and Not Being Just More Pro-Social): Do Attitude and Personality Specifically Influence Pro-Environmental Behavior?

The current research examines the extent to which attitudes and personality traits are predictive of pro-environmental behavior (PEB). Concretely, we tested the relationship between pro-environmental attitudes, HEXACO personality traits, and actual PEB (donating potential prize money to a pro-environmental organization; N = 257). Additionally, we controlled for the influence of helping behavior (donating to a pro-social organization) by addressing whether attitudes and personality have a distinct impact on PEB or whether people are more likely to engage in PEB because they act more pro-socially in general. Analyses included correlations, multiple linear regressions, mediations, and partial correlations. Pro-environmental attitude had the most robust association with PEB and mediated the influence of openness to experiences and honesty–humility on PEB. Importantly, the relationship of pro-environmental attitudes and personality (openness to experiences and honesty–humility) with PEB was unaffected by the participant’s helping behavior, suggesting that pro-environmental people mainly care about the environment and are not necessarily more pro-social in general.
First palaeointensity data from the cryogenian and their potential implications for inner core nucleation age

The timing of inner core nucleation is a hugely significant event in Earth's evolution and has been the subject of intense debate. Some of the most recent theoretical estimates for the age of nucleation fall throughout the Neoproterozoic era; much younger than previously thought. A young inner core requires faster recent core cooling rates and a likely hotter early core; knowledge of its age would be invaluable in understanding Earth's thermal history and total energy budget. Predictions generated by numerical dynamo models need to be tested against such data, but records are currently much too sparse to constrain the event to a precise period of time. Here, we present results from 720 Ma dolerite dykes (and one sill) from the Franklin Large Igneous Province, which fall within a crucial 300 Myr gap in palaeointensity records. This study uses three independent techniques on whole rocks from 11 sites spread across High Arctic Canada and Greenland to produce virtual dipole moments ranging from 5 to 20 ZAm2 (mean 11 ZAm2); almost one order of magnitude lower than the present-day field. These weak-field results agree with recent ultralow palaeointensity data obtained from Ediacaran rocks formed ∼150 Myr later and may support that the dynamo was on the brink of collapse in the Neoproterozoic prior to a young inner core formation date.

Effects of Light Orientation and Mechanical Damage to Leaves on Isoflavone Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

Soybean is largely cultivated worldwide providing high amounts of proteins and oil for food and feed, and isoflavones for nutraceutical uses. The increasing interest in agroforestry practices for improving carbon sequestration and mitigating climate changes suggests the need to assess soybean response to variations of light availability and direction. A two-year pot trial was carried out at Legnaro (NE Italy) in order to mimic the response of the soybean var. Sponsor to contrasting light orientation (east or west) by artificial shading, associated or not with mechanical leaf damage, in terms of protein accumulation, total cotyledon isoflavone concentration (TCIC) and isoflavone profile. Here, we demonstrate that a different intensity of the isoflavone metabolism exists in response to lighting conditions, with higher TCIC and slightly increased seed crude proteins in plants lighted from the east (morning time) and after mechanical leaf damage. The isoflavone profile was not changed, but low temperatures and high rainfall during seed filling (1st year) were associated with increased accumulation of medium-high molecular weight (MW) forms (i.e., glycosyls and malonyls), while high temperatures and low rainfall (2nd year) with increased accumulation of medium-low MW forms (i.e., glycosyls and aglycones). It is concluded that within agroforestry systems, there is possibly a large scope for maximizing isoflavone accumulation by selecting the harvesting area in the neighboring of the east side of the tree alleys, with further improvements if a mild shoot stripping is applied before flowering.
Conceptualisation of Financial Exploitation of Older People: A Review

The concept of financial exploitation has gained much interest in the field of elder abuse. The purpose of this study is to review the conceptualisation of elder financial exploitation as a first step towards exploring how financial abuse is interpreted differently by different groups. The search strategy includes the use of the SCOPUS database, including PubMed, MEDLINE, and open access for articles published between 1997 and January 2019. This study includes prevalence studies regarding the analysis of perceptions and conceptualisation of financial exploitation. This study excluded studies published in languages other than English with no relevance regarding the focus of the study. Twentysix studies met the inclusion criteria with four categories (older people, professional, public, and family members) and a range of settings across studies. Three overarching themes emerged in this review. The sub-themes include values, expectations, cultural considerations, characteristics of older people, relationship dynamics, situational factors, knowledge, and attitudes. Current evidence supports the on-going discussion on the lack of uniformity in definitions and conceptualisations of the financial exploitation of older people. The lack of consideration from the views of older people and community members may add to the complexity of defining financial exploitation, which can result in problems in detection, disclosure, and underreporting incidences.
The Relationship Between Profitability and Firm Value: Evidence From Manufacturing Industry in Indonesia

This study aims to test whether profitability acts as a moderating variable that is able to moderate the influence of the company growth and capital structure on the firm value. The independent variables used in this study are company growth and capital structure, while profitability is the moderating variable.The research sample was taken from manufacturing industrial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2016 - 2018. The study used panel data which is a combination of cross section and time series data, with data analysis using multiple regression.The results showed that company growth and profitability had a positive effect on the firm value, while capital structure had does not effect. The results of the analysis show that profitability does not moderate the effect of company growth and capital structure on the firm value, the interaction of company growth and capital structure with profitability has a negative impact on the firm value.
Estimation of Seismic Attenuation of the Greenland Ice Sheet Using 3‐D Waveform Modeling

We estimated the seismic attenuation (Q factor) of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) by comparing observed and theoretical Rayleigh waveforms. Observed waveforms are obtained by interfering noise waveforms in vertical‐component seismograms between stations belonging to the latest broadband seismic network distributed throughout Greenland (GLISN network). Theoretical waveforms are calculated by parallel computation using the latest 3‐D seismic waveform modeling method. Comparing the observed waveforms with the theoretical waveforms at different Q factors reveals that the GrIS has a low Q of 10 ≤ QP, QS ≤ 50, indicating very high attenuation of seismic waves due to the ice. This study is the first to establish the low Q factor of ice sheets via ultra‐long‐distance propagation (350−1,000 km). The Q factors obtained in this study are indispensable for estimating the thermal state and density distribution of the GrIS, as well as for interpreting the characteristics of seismic waveform that propagates through the GrIS.
The canid pest ejector challenge: controlling urban foxes while keeping domestic dogs safe

Abstract Context. It is widely recognised that red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are abundant within urban areas; however, it is difficult to apply lethal control measures using poison baits in cities because of concerns about the safety of domestic pets, particularly dogs (Canis familiaris). Aims. We tested canid pest ejectors (CPEs) as a potential method of fox control by measuring visitation and activation behaviour of foxes and other wildlife while assessing non-target risk to domestic dogs. Methods. We compared eight urban and eight peri-urban sites in Sydney, with half of the sites having restricted access for domestic dogs. We allocated five camera traps and ejectors per site. Through generalised linear mixed models, we compared the probability of ejector activation between foxes and dogs. We also assessed the relationship between dog visitation and distance to habitation and dog restrictions as measures of dog safety. Key results. Both species of canids were equally likely to pull the ejector (P = 0.26). As expected, dog visitation was significantly lower in sites with dog restrictions (P < 0.001). However, it was not related to distance from habitation. Only two non-canid species were recorded pulling the ejector, suggesting high target-specificity for canids. Conclusions. In sites with dog restrictions, the risk of dog casualties from CPEs is minimal. However, distance from habitation does not increase dog safety, at least within 250 m. The ejector is highly specific for canids. Implications. We provide specific recommendations for the design of a potential fox control program using CPEs in urban and peri-urban areas. The ejector may be a safe method for fox control in cities when deployed at places without domestic dogs.
Strive to Succeed? The Role of Persistence in the Process of Educational Attainment

This article examines the role of effort in the process of educational attainment. First, I analyze the impact of effort on future tertiary educational attainment. Then, I test two sociological theories that argue that effort transmits educational inequality across generations. According to the first theory, parental background shapes the effort that children exert in education-related activities. The second theory argues that the drivers of effort in this context are educational expectations. I use a variable for effort that is measured directly over the course of the Programme for International Student Assessment test. Using a longitudinal data set from Australia, I estimate different hierarchical and structural equations models. I find that the measure of effort is positively and significantly associated with the probability of having obtained a tertiary degree 10 years later. Furthermore, the results show partial support for the second theory but not for the first one.
On the non-geostrophic appearance of some mean surface velocity observations in the Gulf of Mexico

A previous study of currents in the Gulf of Mexico by the author used long-term means from three independent data sources. Ship-drift results are in good agreement with surface drifters, but these two do not agree with satellite sea-surface heights (SSH). The agreement between the first two suggested the possibility that there could be errors in the SSH or that the mean surface flow is not in geostrophic balance. The present results, using the addition of a fourth long-term mean from hydrographic data, which agrees with the SSH, resolves the issue. The lack of agreement between different long-term means is from inadequate coverage in space and time in data from ship drifts and drifters.
The Basic Theorem of Temperature-Dependent Processes

The basic theorem of isokinetic relationships is formulated as “if there exists a linear correlation “structure∼properties” at two temperatures, the point of their intersection will be a common point for the same correlation at other temperatures, until the Arrhenius law is violated”. The theorem is valid in various regions of thermally activated processes, in which only one parameter changes. A detailed examination of the consequences of this theorem showed that it is easy to formulate a number of empirical regularities known as the “kinetic compensation effect”, the well-known formula of the Meyer–Neldel rule, or the so-called concept of “multi-excitation entropy”. In a series of similar processes, we examined the effect of different variable parameters of the process on the free energy of activation, and we discuss possible applications.
Analysing the combination of cost reduction techniques in Android mutation testing

When applied to mobile software, mutation testing is particularly costly due to the deployment of the app under test onto the device: if one deployment is made for each generated mutant, the execution time becomes unapproachable. This paper analyses how the combination of different cost reduction techniques improves the execution time of mutation testing in mobile apps. The techniques reviewed and combined are mutant schema, parallel execution and two different ways of executing tests against the mutants (all against all and all against mutants remaining alive), as well as greedy algorithm for reducing the test suite size. This paper also presents a mathematical model of cost reduction and checks its validity with several experiments. Furthermore, the exhaustive and long experimentation has led the authors to compile a set of good practices which are also presented in a set of lessons learned.
Perbedaan Pengaruh Latihan Konsentrasi Dan Latihan Koordinasi Terhadap Peningkatan Kemampuan Shooting Game Atlet Petanque Undikma

This research is motivated by the inconsistency of the shooting ability of athletes in shooting games in Petanque sports, both at the regional and national levels. This study aims to determine the effect of concentration training and coordination training on the improvement of the shooting game ability of Undikma petanque athletes. This study used an experimental method with the design of "two group pretest posttest design". The research instrument used was a shooting ability test with shooting stations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 with a distance of 6 meters, 7 meters, 8 meters, and 9 meters. The sample in this study were 14 Undikma Petanque athletes. Sampling using purposive sampling technique. Based on the results of the t-test analysis showed the same significant results between concentration training and coordination training. However, the result of the concentration exercise was better than the coordination exercise. It was seen that the average value of shooting using the pretest result of concentration training was 4.71 which increased by 13.00. The amount of increase was 8.28. The coordination exercise, which was originally the pretest average result of 3.42 increased to 10.00. The amount of increase was 6.57. The difference in the average result of shooting game improvement with concentration training and coordination training is 1.71.
Numerical study of ElectroAeroDynamic force and current resulting from ionic wind in emitter/collector systems

ElectroAeroDynamic (EAD) propulsion has recently shown a growing interest with distinct propulsive capabilities and specific advantages. These experimental observations are, therefore, driving interest for numerical predictions of their propulsive capabilities. Keeping with a drift region description associated with the Kaptzov approximation of the corona discharge region effect, we evaluate the detailed contributions of EAD forces from electro-drift effects computation only. We propose a new regularization procedure for the numerical formulation of the electro-drift problem, allowing the convergence of the resulting iterative procedure (here a Newton method) over very large domains, using iteratively adapted meshes in high gradient regions. Our predictions show a good comparison with many experimental configurations, for both the current/intensity and the propulsive force. In some cases, we identify the air drag and the Kaptzov approximation to explain discrepancies with experimental measurements. Finally, we confirm optimal configurations for staggered emitter and collector arrays, consistent with the previously reported experimental results.
Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease: An Unusual Association with Bicytopenia Mimicking Lymphoma

We report a case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) in an 18-year-old African American female who presents with a high-grade fever, sweating, and painful right-sided cervical lymphadenopathy. Lab analysis showed leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and an elevated C-reactive protein. The remaining infectious and autoimmune work-up was negative. Given her clinical presentation, an infectious etiology was suspected, and broad-spectrum antibiotics were empirically started. Bicytopenia in the setting of lymphadenopathy raised the suspicion for lymphoma with bone marrow infiltration. An excisional biopsy was performed, and a histological exam of the lymph nodes showed necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenitis consistent with KFD. She was discharged on Naproxen and Tylenol with a referral to Rheumatology. This case highlights the rarity of bicytopenia in KFD and the importance of early and prompt diagnosis in order to avoid unnecessary testing and inappropriate treatment.
