Trump-induced anxiety among Latina/os

During the 2016 election, Donald Trump castigated unauthorized immigrants as “murderers and rapists. ” During his presidency, he continued the use of this rhetoric, explicitly linking unauthorized migrants to threatening narratives. Here, we consider three questions: Did Donald Trump and his immigration positions serve as an “anxiety trigger” for Latina/os? Are individuals with contextually stigmatized attributes especially sensitive to Trump and his policy proposals? Is Spanish language itself, an attribute negatively stigmatized in the context of the immigration issue, sufficient to increase deportation anxiety? Utilizing survey experiments of Latina/os, we demonstrate that exposure to a Trump immigration cue is sufficient to increase anxiety about deportation. We also demonstrate that stigmatized attributes predict anxiety, but do not moderate the effect of the Trump cue. Lastly, we provide evidence that survey language affects anxiety among Latina/os. In Studies 1 (n = 736) and 2 (n = 1,040), we show that exposure to information about Trump’s immigration agenda significantly increases reports about deportation anxiety. In Study 3 (n = 1,734), we show that the Trump exposure condition induces heightened anxiety but that Latina/o attributes (language proficiency and use, immigration status, assessed phenotype) and identity strength have an independent effect on deportation anxiety. In Study 4 (n = 775), we randomized bilingual respondents into Spanish or English language survey protocols and found that comparable bilinguals exposed to Spanish language report higher levels of anxiety compared to English-language survey takers.
Moral behaviors of nurse supervisors : Expectation and perception of nurses in a tertiary hospital, Bangladesh

This descriptive study aimed to identify the level of nurses’ expectation and perception of nurse supervisors’ moral behaviors in a tertiary hospital, Bangladesh and to compare the differences between nurses’ expectations and perceptions. The study sample was 177 nurses recruited by systematic random sampling from the Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital (SSMCMH), Dhaka, Bangladesh. The data was gathered by using a self-reporting questionnaire. The researcher developed the instrument. It was based on the ethical principles of Beauchamp and Childress (2001) and Fry and Johnstone (2002). Three experts assessed the content validity index (CVI) of the instrument and the CVI obtained was . 97. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to establish the reliability of the questionnaire and this yielded the same alpha coefficients of . 98 for both the nurses’ expectations and perceptions. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used to identify the differences between mean ranks of nurses’ expectation and perception of moral the behaviors of nurse supervisors.
Helping Educators Monitor Autistic Children's Progress Across Sessions: A Needfinding Study

Social robots may be beneficial to educators working with autistic children in helping to monitor the children's progress. To identify needs for measuring and tracking progress of autistic children, we conducted interviews with nine experienced educators in Serbia and the Netherlands who work with autistic children. Responses revealed educators' needs to identify antecedents of notable child behaviour, to have standardised measures of social skills, and to understand child behaviour across settings. We present initial design concepts how social robots could be utilised to meet these needs.

Research Article Equations for estimation of the foliar area of Coffea canephora genotypes

Knowledge of the leaf characteristics of the coffee tree, such as leaf dimensions, is of great importance for management of this crop, since it directly impacts on plant development. We evaluated the genetic diversity of 43 Coffea canephora genotypes and developed and compared mathematical models for estimating the leaf area of distinct genotypes using linear characteristics. Leaves from 21⁄2 year old trees were collected from the upper middle third of the plant and the length of the central vein and maximum width of the leaf were measured; the leaf area was subsequently measured to determine real leaf area (RLA). The variables leaf length (L), leaf width (W), RLA and length x width (LW) were subjected to Pearson correlation analysis and grouped by the Tocher optimization method. All combinations were tested by linear models according to the measured parameters, and for each model R was adjusted and Bayesian information criterion tested. After choosing the variable, equations were defined considering two parameters, which were
Theistic intellectual humility and well-being: does ideological context matter?

ABSTRACT Existing conceptualizations and operationalizations of intellectual humility (IH) have not taken into account the way IH is experienced and expressed by theists. Based on a conceptualization of Christian theistic intellectual humility, we developed a measure of the construct, following established measure development steps of developing and reviewing scale items, exploring and confirming the factor structure, and establishing construct validity. We then tested the usefulness of the resulting scale by showing that theistic intellectual humility moderates four of the five tested relationships between religious commitment and well-being.

Mobility-Dependent Charge-Transfer Efficiency at the ZnO/MAPbI3 Perovskite Contact: Developing a Novel Test Platform for Probing Electrical Contact Properties

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted much attention since the demonstration of a facile formation of functional interfaces in combination with metal oxides in energy and display applications. We report a direct study in which interfacial charge-transfer efficiency at the methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite/zinc oxide (ZnO) interface is quantified through measurement of the net injection current. Electrical contact and MAPbI3 perovskite channel properties were separately extracted through a novel ZnO/MAPbI3 perovskite/ZnO field-effect transistor test platform device in which highly conductive (0.014 Ω cm) ZnO electrodes were used as source and drain electrodes. Through simultaneous probing of the contact and the channel properties, we, for the first time, found that charge-transfer efficiency at the ZnO/MAPbI3 contact is dependent on MAPbI3 perovskite mobility and charge-transport properties in the MAPbI3 channel region extend to the ZnO/MAPbI3 interface influencing the charge-inj.
Hierarchal Clusters Based Traffic Control System

Traffic jam is a crucial issue affecting cities around the world. They are only getting worse as the population and number of vehicles continues to increase significantly. Traffic signal controllers are considered as the most important mechanism to control the traffic, specifically at intersections, the field of Machine Learning offers more advanced techniques which can be applied to provide more flexibility and make the controllers more adaptive to the traffic state. Efficient and adaptive traffic controllers can be designed using a multi-agent reinforcement learning approach, in which, each controller is considered as an agent and is responsible for controlling traffic lights around a single junction. A major problem of reinforcement learning approach is the need for coordination between agents and exponential growth in the state-action space. This paper proposes using machine learning clustering algorithm, namely, hierarchal clustering, in order to divide the targeted network into smaller sub-networks, using real traffic data of 65 intersection of the city of Ottawa to build our simulations, the paper shows that applying the proposed methodology helped solving the curse of dimensionality problem and improved the overall network performance.

Hypoglycaemia in type 2 Diabetes: Impact, burden and management

The overall aim of the programme of work was to contribute to the current body of knowledge around the impact and burden of hypoglycaemia in people with type 2 diabetes. An additional aim was to consider how hypoglycaemia in type 2 diabetes is currently managed from the patient’s perspective. A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out to estimate the prevalence and incidence of hypoglycaemia within population based studies of type 2 diabetes. A qualitative study was also carried out to explore the views and experiences of people with type 2 diabetes who have experienced hypoglycaemia. Key findings: • Hypoglycaemia is prevalent within the type 2 diabetes population. The prevalence of hypoglycaemia is 45% for mild/moderate and 6% for severe, and on average an individual with type 2 diabetes experiences 19 mild/moderate episodes and 0.8 severe episodes per year. • Hypoglycaemia is particularly prevalent amongst those on insulin (mild/moderate: prevalence = 52%; severe: prevalence = 21%, yet still fairly common for treatment regimens that include sulphonylureas (mild/moderate: prevalence = 33%; severe: prevalence = 5%. Severe hypoglycaemia prevalence was the same 5% for those on treatment regimens that did or did not include sulphonylureas. • Hypoglycaemic episodes often interrupt daily life and activities, with symptoms, causes and overall experience varying between individuals and ethnicity. • Management of hypoglycaemia is influenced by an individual’s degree of empowerment and engagement with their healthcare practitioner Based on the findings from this programme of work, recommendations are provided for clinical practice and future research to improve management of hypoglycaemia in type 2 diabetes.
Vitamin D and Multiple Sclerosis: An Update

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-lasting inflammatory neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system caused by an inappropriate attack of the body’s immune system on its own cells. To date, its etiology remains highly enigmatic, with insufficient evidence on the exact cause triggering the disease. Many studies have highlighted the role of different environmental and genetic factors in its etiopathogenesis, each adding a new wedge to MS conundrum and therefore making it a multifactorial and polygenic disease. One of the entrants in the risk factor category for MS is vitamin D, and there is sufficient evidence to suggest its role in increasing the risk of MS development. MS patients have lower levels of vitamin D, and in conjunction with other factors like low sunlight intensity and genetic variations in vitamin D metabolic pathway genes, vitamin D has been adjudged as a potent risk factor for MS. The biological effects of vitamin D in the body are mediated by the vitamin D receptor that acts as a transcription factor after activation by vitamin D and subsequent heterodimerization with the retinoid-X receptor. This allows regulation of protein expression of target genes involved in diverse cellular processes including immune response and vitamin D metabolism. It clearly suggests use of vitamin D supplementation as an unconventional option for MS treatment; however, much work needs to be done to precisely determine the level and/or dosage of vitamin D required for achieving optimum therapeutic response in patients without causing adverse effects.
Exercise in the water: should we incorporate it into training and rehabilitation programs for the sport horse?

In recent years, many trainers have considered the exercise in water as a tool to be incorporated into training programs for sport horses. Additionally, exercise in water could be used for rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and neurological injuries. This use derives from the application of the physical properties of the water, such as viscosity (greater muscular work compared to terrestrial locomotion), buoyancy (reduced load on the axial skeleton) and hydrostatic pressure (circumferential compression that reduces edema and inflammation). There are several devices for water exercise, such as swimming pools (full flotation), water treadmill WT (semi-flotation) and aquatic walkers. The cardiovascular, metabolic, muscular and locomotor responses differ significantly during exercise in a swimming pool compared to a WT. Exercise on a WT is of submaximal intensity, as shown by the response of heart rate and lactate concentration. Cardiovascular and metabolic response to a terrestrial treadmill exercise tests does not change after a training program on a WT. Fiber muscle composition of the gluteus medius muscle does not appear to be affected by WT training. However, our research team has found that there are significant increases in total power and its distribution in the three body axes (dorsoventral, longitudinal, mediolateral), which could have a significant impact on dressage, jumping and three-day-event horses. Further, exercise on a WT might promote a normal locomotor pattern after an injury, increasing the range of movement, enhancing proprioception, and reducing inflammation, with a lower limb load. Its use can be recommended for chronic tendinitis and desmitis and particularly for chronic osteoarthritis.
Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Bactrocera cheni from China and its phylogenetic analysis

Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Bactrocera cheni (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacinae) are sequenced and annotated. The mitochondrial genome is 15,945 bp (GenBank No. MN883026), with A + T% for the whole sequence = 73.0% (38.9% A, 16.4% C, 10.6% G, and 34.1% T), which is the classical structure for insect mitogenome. All PCGs started with ATN except ATP8; 9 PCGs use TAA as the stop codon, and others use TAG as the stop codon. The phylogenetic tree confirms that B. cheni and B. tsuneonis are not clade into one branch with strongly supported. And Pairwise Identity is 80.0% between B. cheni and B. tsuneonis. Based this study, we supported that B. cheni and B. tsuneonis are two different species clearly.
Application of Bio P60 and Bio T10 in Combination Against Phytophthora Wilt of Papaya

Papaya is one of the most widely cultivated horticultural plants. Phytophthora wilt is an important papaya disease which results in production losses. This research aimed to determine the effect of Bio P60 (raw secondary metabolites of Pseudomonas fluorescens P60) and Bio T10 (raw secondary metabolites of Trichoderma harzianum T10) application in combination on Phytophthora wilt and on growth of pepaya. The research was conducted on Californian pepaya farm, Linggasari Village, Kembaran District, Banyumas Regency. Randomized block design was used with six replicates and five treatments consisted of control (Mancozeb 80%), Bio T10 flush + Bio T10 spray, Bio T10 flush + Bio P60 spray, Bio P60 flush + Bio T10 spray, and Bio P60 flush + Bio P60 spray. Variables observed were percentage of healthy leaves, infection rate, number of healthy leaves, and number of healthy pepaya fruit. Result of the research showed that application of Bio P60 and Bio T10 effectively cured Phytophthora wilt with the percentage of healthy leaves as 69.19% compared to control. The combination was able to increase the number of healthy leaves the number of healthy papaya fruit. The novelty of this research is that raw secondary metabolites of biological agents proven to be able to overcome the papaya diseases, which so far cannot be solved. The implication for the development of science is one step ahead in overcoming plant diseases biologically by utilizing raw secondary metabolites. The benefits for the community can overcome papaya plant diseases organically, safely, and environmentally friendly, and inexpensive.
Who shares health and medical scholarly articles on Facebook?

Over a million journal articles had been shared on public Facebook pages by 2017, but little is known about who is sharing (posting links to) these papers and whether mention counts could be an impact indicator. This study classified users who had posted about 749 links on Facebook before October 2017 mentioning 500 medical and health‐related research articles, obtained using altmetric.com data. Most accounts (68%) belonged to groups, including online communities, journals, academic organizations, and societies. Of individual profiles, academics accounted for only 4%, but the largest group were health care professionals (16%). More than half (58%) of all Facebook accounts examined were not academic. The non‐academic dominance suggests that public Facebook posts linking to health‐related articles are mostly used to facilitate scientific knowledge flow between non‐academic professionals and the public. Therefore, Facebook mention counts may be a combined academic and non‐academic attention indicator in the health and medical domains.
Constructing dialogues and solidarity through “Radio-Cinema” in the Sami-Norwegian colonial context

The paper explores an ongoing radio-cinema project in the borderlands between journalism and action research, conducted in the context of colonial conflicts between the indigenous Sami people and the Norwegian state. Interpreting the empirical findings through decolonial and feminist optics, I posit that this radio-cinema project can be seen as a contribution to rethinking methodological creativity in Community Psychology. Through multidirectional dialogues and togetherness, it has mobilized individuals and communities for knowledge construction, creating possibilities for moving from “otherness” towards mutual recognition and affective solidarity
It’s not just “us” versus “them”: Moving beyond binary perspectives on intergroup processes

ABSTRACT The social psychology of intergroup relations has emerged largely from studies of how one group of people (e.g., whites) think and feel about another (e.g., blacks). By reducing the social world to binary categories, this approach has provided an effective and efficient methodological framework. However, it has also obscured important features of social relations in historically divided societies. This paper highlights the importance of investigating intergroup relationships involving more than two groups and of exploring not only their psychological but also their political significance. Exemplifying this argument, we discuss the conditions under which members of disadvantaged groups either dissolve into internecine competition or unite to challenge the status quo, highlighting the role of complex forms of social comparison, identification, contact, and third-party support for collective action. Binary conceptualizations of intergroup relations, we conclude, are the product of specific sociohistorical practices rather than a natural starting point for psychological research.
Retinal fundus images for glaucoma analysis: the RIGA dataset

Glaucoma neuropathy is a major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Current models of chronic care will not be able to close the gap of growing prevalence of glaucoma and challenges for access to healthcare services. Teleophthalmology is being developed to close this gap. In order to develop automated techniques for glaucoma detection which can be used in tele-ophthalmology we have developed a large retinal fundus dataset. A de-identified dataset of retinal fundus images for glaucoma analysis (RIGA) was derived from three sources for a total of 750 images. The optic cup and disc boundaries for each image was marked and annotated manually by six experienced ophthalmologists and included the cup to disc (CDR) estimates. Six parameters were extracted and assessed (the disc area and centroid, cup area and centroid, horizontal and vertical cup to disc ratios) among the ophthalmologists. The inter-observer annotations were compared by calculating the standard deviation (SD) for every image between the six ophthalmologists in order to determine if the outliers amongst the six and was used to filter the corresponding images. The data set will be made available to the research community in order to crowd source other analysis from other research groups in order to develop, validate and implement analysis algorithms appropriate for tele-glaucoma assessment. The RIGA dataset can be freely accessed online through University of Michigan, Deep Blue website (doi:10.7302/Z23R0R29).
