Age-Related Increases in Posterior Hippocampal Granularity Are Associated with Remote Detailed Episodic Memory in Development

Episodic memory is critical to human functioning. In adults, episodic memory involves a distributed neural circuit in which the hippocampus plays a central role. As episodic memory abilities continue to develop across childhood and into adolescence, studying episodic memory maturation can provide insight into the development and construction of these hippocampal networks, and ultimately clues to their function in adulthood. While past developmental studies have shown that the hippocampus helps to support memory in middle childhood and adolescence, the extent to which ongoing maturation within the hippocampus contributes to developmental change in episodic memory abilities remains unclear. In contrast, slower maturing regions, such as the PFC, have been suggested to be the neurobiological locus of memory improvements into adolescence. However, it is also possible that the methods used to detect hippocampal development during middle childhood and adolescence are not sensitive enough. Here, we examine how temporal covariance (or differentiation) in voxel representations within anterior and posterior hippocampus change with age to support the development of detailed recollection in male and female developing humans. We find age-related increases in the distinctiveness of temporal activation profiles in the posterior, but not anterior, hippocampus. Second, we show that this measure of granularity, when present during postencoding rest periods, correlates with the recall of detailed memories of preceding stimuli several weeks postencoding, suggesting that granularity may promote memory stabilization. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Studying hippocampal maturation can provide insight into episodic memory development, as well as clues to episodic functioning in adulthood. Past work has shown evidence both for and against hippocampal contributions to age-related improvements in memory performance, but has relied heavily on univariate approaches (averaging activity across hippocampal voxels), which may not be sensitive to nuanced developmental change. Here we use a novel approach, examining time signatures in individual hippocampal voxels to reveal regionally specific (anterior vs posterior hippocampus) differences in the distinctiveness (granularity) of temporal activation profiles across development. Importantly, posterior hippocampus granularity during windows of putative memory stabilization was associated with long-term memory specificity. This suggests that the posterior hippocampus gradually builds the capacity to support detailed episodic recall.
Research on the influence of compensation methods and customer sentiment on service recovery effect

With the development of Internet technology, online retailing has become a part of people's life, but there is still a lack of research on the service recovery of online retail. This study adopts the scenario experiment method to conduct an empirical study. The service recovery scenario is designed as 2 × 2, the subjects are required to choose a most similar scene and fill in the questionnaire according to their own service recovery experience of online shopping service. This study discusses the influence mechanism of compensation methods and customer sentiment on service recovery effect in online retail service recovery situation. The results show as follows: compared with utilitarian compensation, spiritual compensation has a greater positive impact on customer positive emotions, and spiritual compensation is more effective in reducing negative emotions; positive and negative emotions of customers have positive and negative effects on customer satisfaction after service recovery, and customer satisfaction after service recovery is the preparation and prelude to the formation of customer loyalty. The research results can provide a reference for online retailers to formulate feasible and effective service recovery strategies, improve the effect of service recovery, and promote the healthy development of online retail business model.
Intramuscular Coherence of the Lower Flexor Muscles during Robotic Ankle-Assisted Gait

Abstract A close-fitting assisted walking device (RE-Gait) designed to assist ankle movements might be a novel approach for acquiring the forefoot rocker function in the gait cycle. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of using RE-Gait by evaluating the intramuscular coherence (IMC) of the two parts of the tibialis anterior muscles (TA), which could indicate whether a common synaptic drive is present. Seventeen healthy volunteers walked on a treadmill at a comfortable speed before, during, and immediately after 15-minute RE-Gait intervention. After RE-Gait intervention, IMC of the two parts of the TA muscles in the beta frequency band in the initial swing phase was significantly enhanced during RE-Gait intervention. In addition, IMCs in the beta and low-gamma frequency bands were significantly correlated with the enhancement ratio of the step length. These results suggest that robotic ankle plantar flexion and dorsiflexion assistance in the initial swing phase may be effective for improving gait function with enhancement of the functioning of the sensorimotor loop.
Telehealth and Home Health Occupational Therapy: Clients' Perceived Satisfaction with and Perception of Occupational Performance

Home health care agencies are restructuring service delivery models to address quality of care and client satisfaction while containing costs. New regulatory changes and the public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated an immediate need for alternative care models. Telehealth has been recognized as a feasible delivery model to provide health care. This quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study examined the feasibility of performing occupational therapy telehealth visits as an adjunct to on-site visits for homebound clients (N=9). The Outcomes and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) data collection set, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and a survey were used to collect data. This combination of visits resulted in clinically and statistically significant improvements in client perception of performance and satisfaction with activities of daily living. Findings showed that participants favorably perceived this service delivery model met their therapy needs and they would recommend it to others. Results of this study warrant a larger study involving physical and speech therapy services.
Plasmid Curing of Escherichia coli Cells with Ethidium Bromide, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate and Acridine Orange

The plasmid eliminating abilities of acridine orange, ethidium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate were investigated on multi drug resistant Escherichia coli from urinary tract infection specimens. Three different concentrations of each curing agent (Et-Br, SDS and AO) were used. The frequencies of cured cells were 5.55 % (with 50 μg/ml) and 11.76 % (with 75 μg/ml) for acridine orange, 14.29 % (with 100 μg/ml), 21.05 % (with 100 μg/ ml), 17.65 % (with 125 μg/ml) for ethidium bromide and 7.4 % (with 10 % w/v) & 6.67 % (with 10 % w/v) for sodium dodecyl sulfate. However, no cured cells were obtained from 100 μg/ml acridine orange, 75 μg/ml ethidium bromide and 8 and 12 % SDS. Analysis of profiles of wild type and plasmid cured strains by electrophoresis yielded bands of varying sizes for wild type cells, but none were obtained for Et-Br cured cells. Acridine orange treated cells could eliminate only plasmids of 2.7 MDa and another smaller than 2 MDa.

Hydrophobicity predicts in vivo 19F magnetic resonance detectability of fluorinated psychiatric drugs: simple test for likely success in clinical pharmacokinetic studies

The 19F NMR signal half‐height linewidths of six fluorinated psychiatric pharmaceuticals, on which successful in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) studies have been reported (fenfluramine, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, trifluoperazine, phenfluramine, and paroxetine), were measured at 0.3 mM concentration in an artificial biofluid consisting of aqueous isotonic neutral phosphate‐buffered saline and 5% w/v bovine serum albumin. For the first five, which contain trifluoromethyl groups, linewidth is strongly positively correlated (R2=0.95) with calculated water: n‐octanol distribution coefficient at pH7 (cLogDpH7) by the relationship: Linewidth (Hz)=38cLogDpH7+5. This suggests that simple measurements, or calculations, feasible in most chemical laboratories, predict in vivo signal linewidth and hence the likely ease with which a development compound would be detected in clinical trials of brain pharmacokinetics. The procedures are available to all drug development organizations and should help establish confidence, or no‐go decisions, about committing major resources to MR pharmacokinetic studies on human subjects.

Motivation for Selfie-Posting Mediates the Relationship Between Narcissism and Empathy

Recent times are associated with an unprecedented increase and predicted growth in social media use that can have profound implications for psychosocial behavior. We investigated how a popular social media activity (i.e., selfie-posting) is related with maladaptive personality traits (i.e., narcissism) and a prosocial capacity (i.e., empathy) in the non-clinical population. While social media use can feed narcissistic traits by allowing self-promotion and attention-seeking, such a use can also decrease our empathy. We examined if empathy is predicted by trait narcissism in the context of attention-seeking motivation for selfie-posting. We studied both grandiose with vulnerable narcissistic traits as they differ in strategic use of social media. Previous studies suggest narcissism is positively related with selfie-posting and negatively with empathy, but the relationship between selfie-posting and empathy has largely been unexamined. Using mediation models, we tested whether attention-seeking motivation for selfie-posting provides a mechanism for narcissistic traits to relate with empathy. Results show both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism are positively associated with selfie-posting, but this relationship is stronger for grandiose narcissism. Attention-seeking motivation for selfie-posting mediates the relationship between grandiose narcissism and empathy, but not between vulnerable narcissism and empathy. Our results advance previous findings to a less understood social media activity (selfie-posting), for users of both Facebook and Instagram, and for both grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic traits. They also suggest that some social media use may be positively related with empathic behavior, and narcissistic traits may be malleable.
Transport Simulations on Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope Images of Nanoporous Shale

Digital rock physics is an often-mentioned approach to better understand and model transport processes occurring in tight nanoporous media including the organic and inorganic matrix of shale. Workflows integrating nanometer-scale image data and pore-scale simulations are relatively undeveloped, however. In this paper, a workflow is demonstrated progressing from sample acquisition and preparation, to image acquisition by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) tomography, to volumetric reconstruction to pore-space discretization to numerical simulation of pore-scale transport. Key aspects of the workflow include (i) STEM tomography in high angle annular dark field (HAADF) mode to image three-dimensional pore networks in µm-sized samples with nanometer resolution and (ii) lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) simulations to describe gas flow in slip, transitional, and Knudsen diffusion regimes. It is shown that STEM tomography with nanoscale resolution yields excellent representation of the size and connectivity of organic nanopore networks. In turn, pore-scale simulation on such networks contributes to understanding of transport and storage properties of nanoporous shale. Interestingly, flow occurs primarily along pore networks with pore dimensions on the order of tens of nanometers. Smaller pores do not form percolating pathways in the sample volume imaged. Apparent gas permeability in the range of 10−19 to 10−16 m2 is computed.
Attachment, Trauma, and Mentalization in Intimate Partner Violence: A Preliminary Investigation

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been examined from a range of theoretical perspectives, including attachment theory, with the aim of assessing psychosocial risk factors. Previous research has shown that a child’s exposure to violence in the family is a major predictor of IPV victimization later in life. Furthermore, research on abused and traumatized adult samples has shown high frequencies of unresolved/disorganized attachment styles. In particular, disorganized attachment is associated with major problems of affect regulation and deficits in mentalizing ability. The present research had three aims: (a) to assess the childhood traumatic experiences of female victims of IPV; (b) to investigate and identify the attachment patterns of female victims of IPV; and (c) to examine reflective functioning and prementalistic modes in female victims of IPV, in relation to attachment and trauma. A sample of 31 women, recruited through anti-violence centers, were administered the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire. The Complex Trauma Questionnaire and the Reflective Functioning Scale (RFS) were also applied to the AAI transcripts. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Coding was conducted by two trained coders and certified as reliable for the AAI and RFS. Clinicians completed the Modes of Mentalization Scale (MMS) to assess participants’ mentalization style. The data showed a high percentage of women with insecure attachment and lower reflective functioning. The results are discussed in terms of their clinical and theoretical implications—particularly their application to psycho-forensics, through the development of preventive programs and interventions for IPV. Efforts to understand the etiology of IPV and to intervene to prevent recidivism are fundamental in reducing this public health threat.
Little things mean a lot: Using the biopsychosocial model for daily reports of sexual intimacy

Objectives: In the current study we used an integrated approach to late midlife sexuality. Using a biopsychosocial approach combined with spillover/crossover theory, we examined various common biological (feeling rested and physical intimacy), psychological (positive and negative mood), and social (giving and receiving support) daily processes linked with actor and partner daily physical intimacy. Methods: Data from 191 late midlife, heterosexual, White, couples (97% married, 3% cohabiting) across 14 days were used to examine our hypotheses. Participants had attended some college and about half lived in an urban area. Results: Results from dyadic logistic multilevel models suggest that even when accounting for all covariates, physical activity, positive mood, and both giving and receiving partner support were associated with an increased likelihood of daily physical intimacy. Differences in these associations were found for women compared to men. Discussion: Physical intimacy in late midlife is likely encouraged from a number of factors. Using simplistic designs may inhibit our understanding of important sexual interactions. When compared to health factors, relational factors appear to be more connected to physical intimacy. Physicians, therapists, and community educators can encourage late midlife couples to pay attention to the support they give and receive which may provide an important environment for sexual interactions.
Every Summer Counts: A Longitudinal Analysis of Outcomes from the National Summer Learning Project

The National Summer Learning Project evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of voluntary summer learning programs in five school districts. This seventh report in a series summarizes long-term findings and offers implications for policy and practice. Three years after the summer program, the magnitude of the academic benefits for attenders decreased but still can be considered educationally meaningful.
Cardiac Troponin T as the Underlying Risk Factor Associated With Disease Severity and Mortality in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019

Backgrounds: To describe the clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 hospitalized patients and further analyze the potential risk factors related to the severity of the disease and 28-day mortality of patients.Methods: A total of 122 coronavirus disease 2019 patients hospitalized in Wuhan Third Hospital from 26 January 2020 to 16 March 2020 were included in this retrospective study. Clinical data of patients were retrospectively analyzed, and the risk factors associated with disease severity and 28-day mortality were screened by cox regression analysis.Results: Of all 122 patients, the median age was 64 years old (interquartile range, 57- 71 years old). Compared with non-severe patients, severe patients had higher indices like cardiac troponin T and respiratory rate. In cox regression analysis, cardiac troponin T correlated with 28-day mortality most.Conclusions: Abnormal cardiac troponin T value after admission were in strong correlation with 28-day survival status.
Maternal reactivity of ewes at lambing is genetically linked to their behavioural reactivity in an arena test.

In sheep, the bond between the dam and her lambs is established during the first hours of a lamb's life. Genetic variability for behavioural reactivity of ewes assessed in an arena test performed 24 hr after lambing has already been reported. However, there is no evidence that this reactivity represents the ewe's maternal reactivity at lambing in outdoor conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate whether or not the behavioural reactivity of ewes in the arena test is genetically related to their maternal reactivity measured at lambing. A total of 935 Romane ewes were studied. The maternal reactivity of ewes at the outdoor lambing site was recorded in response to a human approach and to the handling of the lambs. Their behavioural reactivity was also recorded 24 hr post-lambing in the arena test that involved a separation from the litter and a human presence. Flight distance, aggressive reaction, time to restore contact with the litter, maternal behaviour scores and vocalizations recorded at the lambing site were heritable (0.12-0.34). All of these behaviours were genetically correlated with the behavioural reactivity in the arena test. The highest genetic correlations (from 0.60 to 0.90) were found amongst maternal behavioural scores, flight distance and high-pitched bleats. In conclusion, behavioural reactivity in the arena test can be used to assess early maternal reactivity in standardized conditions. Phenotyping of ewes' behavioural reactivity with a simplified arena test can be performed for genetic improvement in maternal behaviour in sheep.
CUT-verbs of the Oceanic language Teop: A critical study of collecting and analysing data in a language documentation project

Teop is an Oceanic language spoken in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, and has been documented for more than two decades in close collaboration with a team of native speakers from coastal villages of the Tinputz region.1 The present study of Teop cut-verbs was inspired by Anna Wierzbicka when she invited me to a workshop on endangered meanings held in Canberra in 2013. Having been a tutor for her courses in the ’90s, I soon realised that the English translation equivalents of Teop cut-verbs in the Teop Language Corpus do not provide sufficient information for a semantic analysis, because the translators (including myself ) have been ‘imprisoned in English’ (Wierzbicka 2014). To understand the meanings of cut-verbs, we therefore need to complement the corpus data by
The Effects of Justice Judgments on Police Legitimacy Across Urban Neighborhoods: A Test of the Invariance Thesis

The invariance thesis posits that the effects of procedural justice judgments on police legitimacy beliefs are consistent across a variety of contexts, including urban neighborhoods. An alternative argument, one steeped in the relational model of authority, holds that procedural justice effects are weaker in high-crime communities where residents do not identify with the police and where they place more weight on instrumental concerns. This study used survey data from 1,000 adults in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The regression models showed that the association between procedural justice and police legitimacy was stronger in low-risk neighborhoods. In high-risk areas, distributive justice was a stronger correlate of legitimacy. Overall, the findings highlight how neighborhood context can moderate the influence of fairness judgments on supportive beliefs.
ICT infrastructure, innovation development and economic growth: a comparative evidence between two decades in OECD countries

PurposeThe objective of this study is to examine the causal relationship between economic growth, information and communication technology (ICT) penetration and innovation development in OECD countries.Design/methodology/approachThis study incorporates data for 24 OECD countries from 2000 to 2018, which is divided into the earliest (2000–2009) and the latest (2010–2018) periods. The econometric methodologies of this study employ panel cointegration, estimation procedures and vector error-correction modelling to investigate the potential interconnections between ICT, innovation development and economic growth.FindingsThe results from the latest period illustrate that OECD countries have achieved positive and significant economic development from high ICT penetration, while results from the earliest period show that OECD countries were just beginning to enjoy the benefits of ICT penetration. Moreover, findings show that innovation development is highly significant in the latest period when promoting economic growth.Practical implicationsThe policy implications suggest that promoting ICT infrastructure establishment and expanding the innovation development may drive the process of economic development in OECD countries.Originality/valueThis study employs mobile and Internet penetration as the development of telecommunication which is in line with the enlargement of innovation to foster economic growth in OECD countries. Comparing the evidence from two decades provides significant value for policymakers and decision-makers regarding the advantages of technology expansion and innovation development to promote economic growth in recent conditions.
Comparison of Analytical Methods for Organic Matter in Composts and Organic Mulches

Abstract The conventional dichromate (Walkley and Black), carbon analyzer, and weight loss‐on‐ignition (WLOI) methods are compared for determination of organic matter contents in composts and organic mulches. The objective of this study was to evaluate these three methods for their reliability in determining the organic matter contents of composts and organic mulches that also contain inorganic carbon. The carbon analyzer method overestimated organic matter contents for samples containing inorganic carbon (C) as carbonate or charcoal C. The removal of inorganic C improved the correlation coefficients (r) of results obtained by the carbon analyzer method and the Walkley and Black method (0.95 vs. 0.89). The WLOI method produced results more similar to those obtained with the Walkley and Black method than with a carbon analyzer. Oven drying samples for 16–24 h at 105°C as a basal temperature for WLOI improved results compared with a basal temperature at 70°C, which is commonly used. A heating temperature of 500°C for 12 h resulted in organic matter determinations by the WLOI method in the closest agreement with those obtained by the Walkley and Black method.
