A critical analysis of the Model Statement literature: Should this tool be used in practice?

Correspondence Cody Normitta Porter, Institute of Criminal Justice Studies, University of Portsmouth, 141 High St, Old Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 2HY, UK. Email: cody.porter@port.ac. uk Abstract Investigators need to elicit detailed statements from interviewees to find potential leads, whilst simultaneously judging if a statement is genuine or fabricated. Researchers have proposed that the Model Statement (MS) can both (a) increase information elicitation from interviewees and (b) amplify the verbal differences between liars and truth tellers, thereby enhancing lie‐detection accuracy. Based upon a critical analysis of the MS literature, we argue that this tool is not currently ready for practical usage, as its utility has not been fully established. We highlight a diverse range of existing MS scripts, and a greater diversity in the dependent measures examined in conjunction with this tool. More robust replications of these procedures are needed. We also highlight why some measures of verbal content may not be suitable as outcome measures and suggest that new research could use the well‐established reality monitoring criteria to allow for standardisation across studies.
Representation Of Sex Workers In Malaysian News Media: A Critical Discourse Analysis

Marginalized populations such as sex workers are at constant risk of violence, abuse, and human rights violation due to inadequate laws governing their rights. Although media has an integral role in influencing the public’s perception of these vulnerable populations, it continues to reinforce social stigmas and discrimination against sex workers through stereotypical and negative representation of the populations. Drawing on Wodak’s discourse-historical approach (DHA), this paper is an outcome of a study that used the DHA analytical tools to examine the discursive strategies specifically referential, predicational and argumentative strategies employed in 20 articles relevant to sex workers in Malaysia published in The Star Online between January and December 2012. Data analysis generally revealed that the local media consistently polarised sex workers as offenders and as victims. These representations are justified and legitimized through specific linguistic devices, fallacious arguments, metaphor, and several topoi , i.e., topoi of number, blame, threat, and authority. Such representations create public intolerance towards sex workers and consequently hinder the workers' access to health care, legal and social services. This paper concludes by highlighting the contributions of the study and the need to incorporate the voices of people who work in the industry to challenge the limited representations perpetuated by the media.
Two conceptions of evolutionary games: reductive vs effective

Evolutionary game theory (EGT) was born from economic game theory through a series of analogies. Given this heuristic genealogy, a number of central objects of the theory (like strategies, players, and games) have not been carefully defined or interpreted. A specific interpretation of these terms becomes important as EGT sees more applications to understanding experiments in microscopic systems typical of oncology and microbiology. In this essay, I provide two interpretations of the central objects of games theory: one that leads to reductive games and the other to effective games. These interpretation are based on the difference between views of fitness as a property of individuals versus fitness as a summary statistic of (sub)populations. Reductive games are typical of theoretical work like agent-based models. But effective games usually correspond more closely to experimental work. However, confusing reductive games for effective games or vice-versa can lead to divergent results, especially in spatially structured populations. As such, I propose that we treat this distinction carefully in future work at the interface of EGT and experiment.
Importance of Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Heart Disease and Its Prevention

Heart disease has complicated etiology, however, in most of the cases studied there has been bioenergetic impairment observed which is associated with unmet cellular energy demands, mtDNA damage and other abnormalities linked to mitochondrial function. Thus, we studied whether mitochondrial replacement plays a role during heart disease, and whether suppressing mitochondrial damage can prevent or possibly reverse heart failure. In these efforts, we used the cardioprotective drugs DRZ and HNG and the combined therapy of these to study their effects against DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. DRZ and HNG are known to have protective effects in mitochondria through different pathways, but we observed that the combination therapy of the two had even greater protective effect, completely restoring heart function. Next, we studied mitochondrial stability in a TAC-induced cardiomyopathy and during the recovery. We observed that at the very start of functional recovery, there are changes occurring in the expression of
Decoding across sensory modalities reveals common supramodal signatures of conscious perception

Significance An outstanding goal in cognitive neuroscience is to understand the relationship between neurophysiological processes and conscious experiences. More or less implicitly, it is assumed that common supramodal processes may underlie conscious perception in different sensory modalities. We tested this idea directly using decoding analysis on brain activity following near-threshold stimulation, investigating common neural correlates of conscious perception between different sensory modalities. Our results across all tested sensory modalities revealed the specific dynamic of a supramodal brain network interestingly including task-unrelated primary sensory cortices. Our findings provide direct evidence of a common distributed activation pattern related to conscious access in different sensory modalities. An increasing number of studies highlight common brain regions and processes in mediating conscious sensory experience. While most studies have been performed in the visual modality, it is implicitly assumed that similar processes are involved in other sensory modalities. However, the existence of supramodal neural processes related to conscious perception has not been convincingly shown so far. Here, we aim to directly address this issue by investigating whether neural correlates of conscious perception in one modality can predict conscious perception in a different modality. In two separate experiments, we presented participants with successive blocks of near-threshold tasks involving subjective reports of tactile, visual, or auditory stimuli during the same magnetoencephalography (MEG) acquisition. Using decoding analysis in the poststimulus period between sensory modalities, our first experiment uncovered supramodal spatiotemporal neural activity patterns predicting conscious perception of the feeble stimulation. Strikingly, these supramodal patterns included activity in primary sensory regions not directly relevant to the task (e.g., neural activity in visual cortex predicting conscious perception of auditory near-threshold stimulation). We carefully replicate our results in a control experiment that furthermore show that the relevant patterns are independent of the type of report (i.e., whether conscious perception was reported by pressing or withholding a button press). Using standard paradigms for probing neural correlates of conscious perception, our findings reveal a common signature of conscious access across sensory modalities and illustrate the temporally late and widespread broadcasting of neural representations, even into task-unrelated primary sensory processing regions.
Effects of sensory stimulation on upper limb strength, active joint range of motion and function in chronic stroke virtual reality training

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the upper limb strength, active joint range of motion (AROM), and upper limb function in persons with chronic stroke using virtual reality training in combination with upper limb sensory stimulation. Design: Two-group pretest-posttest design. Methods: 20 subjects were divided into two groups of 10, the sensory motor stimulation and virtual reality training (SMVR) and virtual reality training (VR) groups. The training was conducted for 30 minutes per session, three times a week for 8 weeks.The participants’ upper limb strength was measured via the hand-held dynamometer, joint angle AROM was measured via dual inclinometer, function was measured using the Jebson-Taylor hand function test and the manual function test. Results: Significant differences were observed in all groups before and after the training for upper extremity strength, AROM, and function ( p <0.05). Between the two groups, the SMVR group showed significant improvement in muscle strength, AROM, and Jebsen-Taylor hand function test scores compared with the VR groups ( p <0.05). Conclusions: In this study, we confirmed that sensory stimulation and VR had positive effects on upper extremity strength, AROM, and function of persons with chronic stroke. The results suggest that in the future, VR in combination with sensory stimulation of the upper limb is likely to become an effective method (a rehabilitation training program) to improve the upper limb function of persons with chronic stroke.
Shift in Cyanobacteria Community Diversity in Hot Springs of India

ABSTRACT Two ecologically distinct tropical sulfur-rich alkaline hot springs, Taptapani at 48°C harboring mesophiles and Atri at 58°C comprising thermophiles situated in the Eastern Ghats foothills of India, differ in their geochemical conditions, and provide an interesting platform to unravel the eco-physiological reasons behind the differential cyanobacterial diversity. The predominance of mesophilic Arthronema (83.81%) in Taptapani and shifting predominance of thermophilic Leptolyngbya (96.25%) in Atri as discovered through 16S rRNA gene Illumina sequencing of their metagenomics DNA as a function of temperature are the intriguing features of the present study. Differential presence of the cyanobacterial community at the phylum level in these two hot springs was found to be correlated with the unequal coexistence of Chloroflexi, Taptapani the non-cyanobacteria members and the possible influence of physiochemical parameters including temperature. Variation in cyanobacterial diversity and composition of these hot springs as revealed through sequence analysis were also evinced by respective differences in richness, evenness, and Shannon diversity indices.
Stability threshold of formamidinium lead iodide determined by strain amplitudes

The mechanical stability of α-phase formamidinium (FA) lead iodide perovskite is investigated using a systematic finite deformation method based on all the possible FA cation orientations, inside an inorganic cage. Two specific strain boundaries of deformation or strain amplitudes were efficiently examined over this optimized pseudo-cubic structure, which needs nine independent elastic constants (EC) to determine the stability. The stable structure was found while applying an initial amplitude limit (0.02), which is attributed to the balanced charge distribution in between the hydrogens (H4, H5 and H2, H3) to the specific iodine (I2) atom. Surprisingly, with increasing amplitude (0.04), the structure was unstable due to their disturbed charge distribution and FA cation tilting as found from electron density difference (EDD) spectrum. From the computational perspective, the obtained EC values, Mulliken charge, and EDD results provide some crucial information’s to understand the reason behind the instability issues based on the FA cation position which is reported so far. Hence, we provide a solid justification regarding the stability threshold of a pseudo-cubic model based on the FA cation position to get an insight into this FA cation-based perovskite material.
Large brains and groups associated with high rates of agonism in primates

Lay Summary We provide valuable insights into the evolution of primate brain size by demonstrating that relatively large brains are associated with high levels of social competition. Although overall levels of conflict increase in larger groups, the amount of aggression between each individual pair decreases, suggesting that primates in large groups can somewhat mitigate the damaging social costs of conflict.
Coherently Driven 
 N
 Number of Degenerate Three-Level Atoms with Parametric Amplifier

We have analyzed the squeezing and statistical properties of the cavity light beam produced by a coherently driven degenerate three-level laser with a degenerate parametric amplifier (DPA) in an open cavity and coupled to a vacuum reservoir via a single-port mirror. We have carried out our analysis by putting the noise operators associated with the vacuum reservoir in normal order. Applying the solutions of the equations of evolution for the expectation values of the atomic operators and the quantum Langevin equation for the cavity mode operator, the mean photon number and the quadrature squeezing of the cavity light are calculated. And a large part of the mean photon number is confined in a relatively small frequency interval. Furthermore, we also obtain the antinormally ordered characteristic function defined in the Heisenberg picture. With the aid of the resulting characteristic function, we determine the function which is then used to calculate the photon number distribution.
PHYSIOLOGICAL, ENZYMATIC AND SANITARY QUALITY OF WHEAT SEEDS TREATED WITH ZINC SULFATE DURING STORAGE

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of wheat seed coated with zinc, through enzymatic and health aspects during storage. It was concluded that wheat seed coating with zinc at doses of 3 mL to 4 mL ZnSO 4 support in maximum expression of physiological quality, in addition to wheat seed coating with zinc sulfate is effective during period of six months of storage. There are variations in expression pattern of EST and GOT between wheat seeds and seedlings, in different doses of zinc sulfate during storage. Zinc supplied via seeds, associated with fungicide and polymer, results in a lower incidence of fungi in seeds throughout storage period.
Downscale transfer of quasigeostrophic energy catalyzed by near-inertial waves

Abstract Wind forcing injects energy into mesoscale eddies and near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the ocean, and the NIWs are believed to solve the puzzle of mesoscale energy budget by absorbing energy from mesoscale eddies. This work studies the turbulent energy transfer in the NIW–quasigeostrophic mean mesoscale eddy coupled system based on a previously derived two-dimensional model which inherits conserved quantities in Boussinesq equations (Xie & Vanneste, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 774, 2015, pp. 147–169). The conservation of energy, potential enstrophy and wave action implies the existence of phase transition with a change of the relative strength between NIW and mean-flow, quantified by a parameter $R$. By running forced-dissipative numerical simulations, we justify the existence of second-order phase transition around a critical value $R_c$. When $0<R<R_c$, energy transfers bidirectionally, wave action transfers downscale and vorticity forms strong cyclones. When $R>R_c$, energy transfers downscale, wave action transfers bidirectionally and vortex filaments are dominant. We find the catalytic wave induction mechanism where the NIW induces a downscale energy flux of the mean flow, which differs from the stimulated loss of balance mechanism observed in inertial value problems. In the parameter regime $0<R<R_c$, catalytic wave induction is similar to the stimulated loss of balance as the downscale energy transfer is proportional to the NIW energy injection, however, catalytic wave induction has a distinct feature of the absence of energy conversion from mesoscale eddies to NIWs. The new mechanism is effective in the toy-model study, making it potentially important for ocean energetics.
A Review of Jamming Actuation in Soft Robotics

Jamming is a popular and versatile soft robotic mechanism, enabling new systems to be developed that can achieve high stiffness variation with minimal volume variation. Numerous applications have been reported, including deep-sea sampling, industrial gripping, and use as paws for legged locomotion. This review explores the state-of-the-art for the three classes of jamming actuator: granular, layer and fibre jamming. We highlight the strengths and weaknesses of these soft robotic systems and propose opportunities for further development. We describe a number of trends, promising avenues for innovative research, and several technology gaps that could push the field forwards if addressed, including the lack of standardization for evaluating the performance of jamming systems. We conclude with perspectives for future studies in soft jamming robotics research, particularly elucidating how emerging technologies, including multi-material 3D printing, can enable the design and creation of increasingly diverse and high-performance soft robotic mechanisms for a myriad of new application areas.

ssc-miR-185 targets cell division cycle 42 and promotes the proliferation of intestinal porcine epithelial cell

Objective microRNAs (miRNAs) can play a role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, and their role is achieved by regulating the expression of target genes. Our previous high-throughput sequencing found that ssc-miR-185 plays an important regulatory role in piglet diarrhea, but its specific target genes and functions in intestinal porcine epithelial cell (IPEC-J2) are still unclear. We intended to verify the target relationship between porcine miR-185 and cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) gene in IPEC-J2 and to explore the effect of miR-185 on the proliferation of IPEC-J2 cells. Methods The TargetScan, miRDB, and miRanda software were used to predict the target genes of porcine miR-185, and CDC42 was selected as a candidate target gene. The CDC42-3′ UTR-wild type (WT) and CDC42-3′UTR-mutant type (MUT) segments were successfully cloned into pmirGLO luciferase vector, and the luciferase activity was detected after co-transfection with miR-185 mimics and pmirGLO-CDC42-3′UTR. The expression level of CDC42 was analyzed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. The proliferation of IPEC-J2 was detected using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), and 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays. Results Double enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed that CDC42-3′UTR-WT and CDC42-3′UTR-MUT were successfully cloned into pmirGLO luciferase reporter vector, and the luciferase activity was significantly reduced after co-transfection with miR-185 mimics and CDC42-3′UTR-WT. Further we found that the mRNA and protein expression level of CDC42 were down-regulated after transfection with miR-185 mimics, while the opposite trend was observed after transfection with miR-185 inhibitor (p<0.01). In addition, the CCK-8, MTT, and EdU results demonstrated that miR-185 promotes IPEC-J2 cells proliferation by targeting CDC42. Conclusion These findings indicate that porcine miR-185 can directly target CDC42 and promote the proliferation of IPEC-J2 cells. However, the detailed regulatory mechanism of miR-185/CDC42 axis in piglets’ resistance to diarrhea is yet to be elucidated in further investigation.

The use of the framework is demonstrated through its application to two specific empirical case studies. The review shows that there are 9 classes of Industry’s 4.0 enabling technologies, whose different arrangements lead to the achievement of up to 15 business goals that can be thwarted by 21 barriers. The pursuit of these goals leads to three different destinations, i.e., three diverse digital transformations of the manufacturing firms. This paper provides a holistic framework that analyses the relationships among Industry’s 4.0 enabling technologies, barriers and goals. It appeals to managers who can use its contents along with the web application to derive recommendations and suggestions tailored to their Industry’s 4.0 journeys.
The Potential of Bacillus Cereus Biofertilizer Sediment Based to Growth Response and Productivity of Paddy Rice (Oryza sativa) CV. Situ Bagendit

Intensive inorganic fertilizing to enhance rice productivity was not always effective, because it was not always use by the plant. Continual inorganic fertilizing could also disturb the soil nutrient balance. The enhancing of fertilizing effectiveness would lead the increasing in productivity whilst keep the soil nutrient balance. One of organic fertilizer source is dam sediment. Dam sediment was rich in organic and inorganic compounds, which were needed by plants (Fonseca et al., 2003). Jumiarni (2008) stated that sediment of Saguling Dam was rich with nutrients and microorganisms.
