Exploring the range of reported dream lucidity

Dream lucidity, or being aware that one is dreaming while dreaming, is not an all-or-none phenomenon. Often, subjects report being some variant of “a little lucid” as opposed to completely or not at all. As recent neuroimaging work begins to elucidate the neural underpinnings of lucid experience, understanding subtle phenomenological variation within lucid dreams is essential. Here, we focus on the variability of lucid experience by asking participants to report their awareness of the dream on a 5-point Likert scale (from not at all to very much). Participants implemented a combination of mnemonic training lucid dream induction methods at home for one week and provided detailed reports about their dream experiences each morning. Consistent with previous research, cognitive induction methods led to about half of participants reporting at least one lucid dream and about half of all dreams including some level of lucidity. However, we also show that induction success rate varies significantly depending on the minimum criteria for lucidity. Participants also reported how much they adhered to specific components of each induction method, and the amount of mnemonic rehearsal during a brief early awake period was predictive of lucidity level. Furthermore, lucidity levels were positively correlated with dream control, dream bizarreness, and next-morning positive affect. Lastly, we asked participants open-ended questions about why they chose particular levels of lucidity. We focus a qualitative discussion on responses to those “semi-lucid” dreams (rated just a little, moderately, or pretty much lucid) to explore why participants rate their dreams as having intermediate levels of awareness. Together, the present study explores the frequency of semi-lucid dreams, what they are, why they might arise, their correlates, and how they impact methodological concerns in lucid dreaming research.
The Challenge of Networked Complexity to NATO’s Digital Security

: In the aftermath of the 2016 Democratic National Convention (DNC) hack and with ongoing disinformation campaigns attacking democratic elections worldwide, cyber defence has never been more important for the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) allies. However, current security strategies often fall short because they do not adequately address the problem of networked complexity. To protect cyberspace, national assets and key institutions, we must solve for the strategic, tactical and operational complexities of the technology stack, including its interconnections and interdependencies. States and organisations must address three levels of complexity: entity, layered and networked complexity. Entity complexity is the complexity of a single component or system, for example, a central processing unit (CPU). Layered complexity arises when we layer multiple levels of complex hardware and software. The third level of complexity involves emergent networks and interactions of multi-layered technical and socio-technical systems. This paper establishes the critical importance of understanding networked complexity in cyber security, a topic which is underrepresented in extant cyber security literature. It proposes practical solutions, including a focus on ‘defence in breadth’. All systems, including consumer-grade products, must be shipped more secure by default. Mitigating networked complexity in cyber defence will also require better threat and attack modelling. Security strategies should move from hierarchical models to a graph-driven, networked understanding of cyber security that incorporates socio-technical dimensions. Lastly, states should leverage the security community and public-private partnerships.
DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH TO ABDOMINAL PAIN IN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN

Abdominal pain is probably the most common cause of addressing a doctor or of school absenteeism. The family doctor, the pediatrician, and the school doctor must identify the red fl ags that can direct the diagnosis towards an organic cause (acute, chronic, or even a surgical emergency). They also have to be aware of functional causes of abdominal pain in school-age children and adolescents. The pathogenesis of functional abdominal pain is multifactorial, based on the interrelationship between visceral hypersensitivity and the alteration of gastrointestinal motility. The Roma IV criteria help a proactive diagnosis of functional gastrointestinal disorders: functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, abdominal migraine, and functional abdominal pain. In functional abdominal pain, there are no biochemical markers or structural changes that allow an objective diagnosis or the monitoring of these disorders. The decision to use diagnostic tests is left to the physician. Functional abdominal pain can infl uence a child’s school performance and social relationships and may associate anxiety, depression, and extra-intestinal manifestations, with poor quality of life. Thus a correct diagnosis and management of abdominal pain are essential for these children.
Western Modernization of Agriculture in Africa Produces Malnutrition

: Jointly established in 2006 by the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations, AGRA was meant to bring scientific agriculture to Africa. Despite large investments by 13 African states, the promised doubling of incomes has not materialized, and healthy nutrition, biodiversity and water availability have all deteriorated. Successful agriculture in Africa must be sensitive to local conditions and build on local knowledge and experience.

The Interaction Between Perceived Task Complexity, Individual Work Orientation, and Job Crafting in Explaining Flow Experience at Work

This study assessed the interaction between perceived task complexity, individual work orientation, and job crafting in explaining flow experience at work. The study was conducted using the National Social Security Fund of Uganda. Individual work orientation and perceived task complexity were assessed as the independent variables, job crafting as the mediating variable, and flow experience as the dependent variable. The study was based on work environments not necessarily being very friendly, yet employees are expected to be happy and post a positive performance. Thus it was expected that the independent variables would boost employees’ proactive behaviors towards achieving peak performance. The study adopted a cross-sectional design employing a quantitative approach. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to a target study group of 387 individuals selected using random sampling. The results indicated that individual work orientation and perceived task complexity were good predictors of job-crafting behavior amongst employees, which is considered a proactive effort to redesign one’s work in order to make it more bearable or interesting. Equally, it was found that job crafting is one of the means of fostering flow experience which is characterized by work enjoyment, intrinsic motivation, and absorption. Given the results, it can be deduced that when the work is not clear or is complex, employees tend to proactively seek ways to make it easier through different initiatives; driven by their internal work desires they proactively seek for ways to achieve their end result successfully. When this is done, their work becomes more enjoyable, and they apply fully their concentration.
APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK (ANN) IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE DRILLABILITY INDEX (DI) OF A ROCK MASS

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been applied to many interesting problems in different areas of science, medicine and engineering and in some cases, they provide stateof-the-art solutions. This paper investigates the application of an ANN model in mining to predict the Drillability Index (DI) of a rock mass given rock parameters such as uniaxial compressive strength, shear strength, tensile strength, abrasion and hardness. Drillability indicates whether penetration is easy or hard while penetration rate indicates whether it is fast or slow. Therefore, prediction of the drillability and penetration rate is very important in rock drilling. Penetration rate is a necessary value for the cost estimation and the planning of the drilling project. According to results of this study, Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) rating has the highest weight of 0.051083 among the three parameters studied which reconfirms the literature review finding which indicates that UCS is the most important parameter in predicting drillability.
A comparative study on muscle and leg properties of male and female stick insects and their impact on the insects behaviour

The physiological, mechanical and morphological properties of the specialized metathoracic leg and flexor muscle of the male and those homologous but unspecialized ones of the female stick insects, Eurycantha calcarata were examined, to find the correlation between the properties of the muscles and legs with the animal behavior. The intact insects, isotonic and isometric transducer, pen recorder and oscilloscope were used. The initial contraction of the muscle was a rapid contraction with the duration of 70 to 130 msec. Its delayed contraction was much longer remaining in contraction, more than 30 sec. The muscle of the male was much more developed, faster, produced more force and did more initial and delayed work than the muscle of the female. Also the produced power output and work output by the muscle of the male were higher than those of the female, due to its greater size. The muscle produced the highest tension at the femur-tibia joint angle of 1.22 rad. The muscles, as compared with other insect muscles, produced relatively high power and were considered to be relatively fast.
Bioinformatics and Expression Analysis of GmWRKY32 Gene in Soybean

WRKY transcription factors are very important transcriptional regulators in the process of plant response to plant growth and abiotic stresses. In this study, the open reading frame (ORF) of soybean GmWRKY32 gene was cloned from the WRKY sequence of soybean genome, which was a polypeptide encoding 300 amino acids. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the WRKY32 protein contained a highly conserved WRKY domain and belonged to Group III of the WRKY gene family. The homology with Glycine soja GsWRKY70, Cajanus cajan CcWRKY70 and Vigna angularis VaWRKY70 proteins was 85%, 79% and 72%, respectively. In addition, GmWRKY32, is an insoluble protein, no signal peptide and transmembrane domain. Further analysis of the gene expression pattern under different stress and hormone induction showed that after 12 h of treatment with PEG, high salt stress and JA, the expression of GmWRKY32 was increased by 4.5, 4.2 and 3.2 times than that of control, respectively. After 24 h of ABA induction, the expression level of GmWRKY32 was increased 6-fold compared with that of the control. Conjecture that it is closely related to the resistance of soybean to abiotic stress which would lay a foundation for the family structure and functional research of soybean WRKY transcription factors, and will provide scientific basis for research of soybean resistance and molecular breeding.
University Student Well-Being During COVID-19: The Role of Psychological Capital and Coping Strategies

This study examined the relationships between psychological capital (PsyCap), coping strategies, and well-being among 609 university students using self-report measures. Results revealed that well-being was significantly lower during COVID-19 compared to before the onset of the pandemic. Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that PsyCap predicted well-being, and structural equation modeling demonstrated the mediating role of coping strategies between PsyCap and well-being. Prior to COVID-19, the PsyCap dimensions of optimism and self-efficacy were significant predictors of well-being. During the pandemic, optimism, hope, and resiliency have been significant predictors of well-being. Adaptive coping strategies were also conducive to well-being. Implications and recommendations for psychoeducation and counseling interventions to promote PsyCap and adaptive coping strategies in university students are presented.
Effect of Pico Second Laser on Structural and Photoluminescence Properties of Aluminum Doped Zno Film Prepared by Sol Gel Method

Aluminum (Al) doped zinc oxide (Al-doped ZnO) thin films with different Al concentrations were prepared using the sol-gel method and the spin coating technique. The films were irradiated by high power pico-second pulsed laser source of 355 nm with different energy. The laser irradiated Al-doped ZnO films were then characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning microscopy, UV–Vis absorption and photoluminescence techniques. The diffraction pattern indicates increase in crystallinity of ZnO thin films due to the influence of Al doping and laser irradiation. The change in surface morphology of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO films are confirmed by SEM. The absorption spectra of the films show that slightly change in band gap of pure and Al-doped ZnO after the laser treatment. No significant change in band gap with different Al doping percent under laser treatment. Significant influence in photoluminescence (PL) and spontaneous properties of the pure ZnO and Al-doped ZnO thin films by laser energy was observed. The PL and spontaneous intensity of Al-doped ZnO films decreases upon increasing the laser energy which is attributed to effect of nanostructured of the film.
A NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF FLOW AND MIXED CONVECTION INSIDE VERTICAL ECCENTRIC ANNULUS

In this article, mixed convection heat transfer is numerically studied in a vertical eccentric annulus. For this purpose, full Navier-Stokes equations along with energy equation are solved in a 3D orthogonal grid using bipolar cylindrical coordinate system and finite volume method based on SIMPLE algorithm . To investigate flow and heat transfer in the presence of gravity, the inner wall of the annulus is kept at a constant temperature, while the outer wall is assumed to be insulated. The effect of different governing non-dimensional parameters consisting of dimensionless eccentricity (E), radius ratio (N) and mixed convection parameter (Gr/Re) on the flow and temperature field are studied in detail. The numerical results obtained are in good agreement with previous numerical works. Furthermore, the effect of internal longitudinal fins on the inner wall of the annulus on the flow field and heat transfer is carried out for the first time in this paper. The numerical results obtained in this case indicate uniform temperature field comparing the finless case. In addition, the amount of augmented heat transfer due to adding internal fins is discussed.

Natural mentoring relationships are supportive relationships that form organically between youth and important non-parental adults (e.g., friends, teachers, athletic coaches, extended family members) from within their existing social networks. These relationships are thought to foster positive youth development and buffer against risks, particularly those associated with the transitions that characterize adolescence. Providing youth with the opportunity to identify and engage a non-parental adult from their social network in a mentoring relationship constitutes the Youth Initiated Mentoring (YIM) approach. The current article describes the aim and context of this new approach, its target population, the intended individual and societal outcomes, and how these outcomes may be achieved. We also describe various YIM program models addressing universal, Dr. Levi Van Dam researcher at the University of Amsterdam and founder of the Dutch YIM foundation
E-mail Spam Filtering

 Abstract —E-mail spam filtering is a very widely discussed and studied topic in the field of pattern classification. E-mails can be filtered as spam or non-spam based on many features such as the frequency or occurrence of a few words in the e-mail, the length of the e-mail or the domain from which it is being sent. Based on these basic characteristics, researchers have come up with many techniques to identify a spam e-mail for a non-spam e-mail. While most of these techniques are based on strong foundations, there are subtle or wide differences in their efficiencies. By efficiency, I mean the accuracy, time required to get to the result and other factors which can give one algorithm or technique an edge over the rest. In this project, I aim to implement and evaluate three major e-mail spam filtering algorithms. They are, Naïve Bayes method, k-Nearest Neighbors and Support Vector Machines. In this report, I’ll be going through the motivation of using these algorithms or the basic science behind them, working of the aforementioned algorithms, their accuracies and other such factors. Towards the end of the report, I aim to have a solid conclusion about which ones are better for which scenarios and which ones are stronger than the rest, if at all.
The Physical Quality of Broiler Chicken Meat Given Basal Ration Containing Avocado Seed Flour (Persea Americana Mill)

P Americana Mi ll contains some phytochemicals such as phenols, saponins, and flavonoids which have beneficial effect on meat quality of broiler chicken. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of inclusion of avocado seed flour (ASF) in basal diet on meat quality of broiler chickens. A total of 80 broiler chicks of Cobb- strain were randomly assigned with following treatments: T0 (basal ration without ASF as the control), T1 (inclusion of 5% ASF in l diet), T2 (inclusion of 10% ASF in diet) and T3 (inclusion of 15% ASF in diet) and were kept for 5 weeks. The parameters measured were meat pH, cooking loses after slaughtering and water holding capacity. The completely randomized design was used in this experiment with 4 treatments and 5 replicates. The result showed that the inclusion of ASF significantly (P 0.01) water holding capacity. It is concluded that the best level inclusion of ASF in broiler diet in order to improve the physical quality of broiler’s meat is 15%.
An exploratory study to assess the prevalence of postpartum blues among the post natal mothers in selected hospitals at Jabalpur Madhya Pradesh

The study adopted a non – experimental approach. The population consisted of postnatal mothers in selected hospital at Jabalpur Madhya Pradesh. Convenient sampling technique was used to select 50 postnatal mothers. In this study investigators used conceptual framework based on General system theory of Von Ludwig Bretanlanffy (1968). The investigators used an EPDS to determine the prevalence consisting of 10 items, semi structured interview schedule was used for assessment of degree of postpartum blues consisting 20 items. It was validated by experts; reliability was calculated by using split half method and the “r” value 0.9, which shows that the tool was reliable. After conducting pilot stu dy main study was carried out, based on objective and assumption, the data was analyzed using various descriptive and inferential ( x 2 ) test. From the study it is inferred that out of 50 subjects, 30 subjects had postpartum blues and 20 subjects had no blues and 36% of postnatal mothers having mild blues, 24% of mothers were suffering from moderate blues and no one had severe blues. The study shows that there is significant association between postpartum blues and socioeconomic status & education and non-significant association between postpartum blues and age.
Research of the non-sinusoidal loads impact on the operability of tap-changers contacts

Purpose. To establish quantitative indicators of the influence of non-sinusoidal loads on the parameters and operability of contacts of voltage control devices of transformers of power-consuming electrical installationsMethodology. In our research, we used the probabilistic-statistical methods to analyze the experimental findings. Experimental studies were carried out applying advanced software-based methods for processing, systematizing and visualizing the findings derived.Findings. The analysis of the accident rate of transformers for power-consuming technological installations showed that adjustable transformers, in particular, on-load tap-changers, are in many cases the cause of failure in the operation of electrical installations. On the example of a switching device of the RNOA-110/1250 type, it was experimentally established that the non-sinusoidality of the current caused by abruptly alternating loads, in combination with an increase in the number of switchings, leads to an increase in the contact resistance, which significantly reduces the reliability and serviceability of contacts. Originality. The dependence of the transient resistance of the contacts of the voltage control device under the load of the transformer on the degree of non-sinusoidality of the load current is obtained. Practical value. The results of the work can be used in the development of new designs of on-load tap-changers for special purpose operation under conditions of load fluctuations. In particular, the work is aimed to increase the reliability of on-load tap changers contact systems, as well as in the study of the operating conditions of network and furnace transformers in power supply systems of energy-intensive technological installations.
Novel Miniaturized Equal/Unequal HMSIW Filtering Power Dividers Based on the Evanescent Mode Technique

In this paper, three miniaturized equal/unequal filtering power dividers (FPDs) applying the half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) and metamaterial concepts are offered. The operational method of the presented structures is based on the theory of evanescent mode propagation. The stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) technique has been employed to reduce the dimension of the conventional complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) unit-cell. In this technique, the slot lines in the conventional CSRR are replaced by the stepped-impedance slot lines in the improved metamaterial unit-cell which is called SIR-CSRR unit-cell. By means of the SIR-CSRR unitcell, three equal/unequal FPDs with arbitrary power-dividing ratio have been reported. Additionally, to further size reduction of the proposed FPDs, the HMSIW platforms are used. All of the proposed HMSIW FPDs are designed at 2.4 GHz which are suitable for WLAN applications. For demonstration of the applied procedures in the proposed HMSIW FPDs, the suggested equal/unequal HMSIW FPDs have been fabricated and measured. A reasonable agreement between simulated and measured results has been achieved. The entire size of the suggested equal/unequal HMSIW FPDs is about 0.11 × 0.09 λg.
