Civic Engagement and Personality: Associations with the Big Five and the Dark Triad

Several studies have analyzed the relationship between general personality traits and attitudes and behaviors, indicating that a person is more committed to the community. After raising the question of whether malevolent traits might also be related, the aim was to analyze the relationship between civic engagement and personality, delving into the contribution of the Dark Triad (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and controlling for the association with the Big Five. The Civic Engagement Questionnaire, the Short Dark Triad, and the Big Five Inventory-10 were administered to 1175 Spanish students (convenience sampling). After performing statistical analyses using SPSS statistical software, it was obtained that the three Dark Triad traits explained 11% of the total explained variance of civic engagement, while 19% was reached when the Big Five were included. Narcissism and openness were the factors most strongly associated with engagement. The positive relationship between narcissism and general personality traits could explain why narcissistic people have more favorable attitudes. Furthermore, people with narcissistic traits may display these attitudes for their own benefit. This study provides further evidence of how the narcissistic personality trait differs from the other two malevolent traits. Given that these traits are also associated with maladaptive behaviors, knowing all their characteristics could facilitate the design of prevention programs aimed at reducing such maladaptive behaviors.
Evaluation of Strength and Functional Ability of Soccer Players Two Years After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Cross-sectional Study

Objectives: This study examines the strength and functional capacity of active soccer players two years post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods: Sixteen players, two years post ACLR, participated. Isokinetic tests assessed Peak Torque (PT) for concentric and eccentric contractions, along with conventional (H/Qconv) and functional (H/Qfunc) H/Q ratios at various angular velocities. Functional ability was gauged through hop tests. Paired-Samples T Test compared PT and hop test values, as well as H/Qconv and H/Qfunc ratios between involved and non-involved limbs. Limb symmetry was evaluated using the Limb Symmetry Index (LSI). Results: After two years, participants exhibited significant differences in concentric PT between limbs. The non-involved limb demonstrated superior performance at isokinetic speeds. Eccentrically, PT for knee extensors and flexors showed no significant disparities between the operated and non-operated limbs across all velocities tested. Most participants did not achieve LSI 90-110% for knee extensors and flexors. No noteworthy distinctions were observed in H/Qconv, H/Qfunc, and hop tests between limbs. The majority met LSI 90-110% in hop tests, except in the 30-second side hop (37%). Conclusions: Two years post ACLR, soccer players still manifest strength and functional deficits, heightening the risk of injury.
Correlation between tectonic stress regimes and methane seepage on the western Svalbard margin

Abstract. Methane seepage occurs across the western Svalbard margin at water depths ranging from < 300 m, landward from the shelf break, to > 1000 m in regions just a few kilometres from the mid-ocean ridges in the Fram Strait. The mechanisms controlling seepage remain elusive. The Vestnesa sedimentary ridge, located on oceanic crust at a depth of 1000–1700 m, hosts a perennial gas hydrate and associated free gas system. The restriction of the occurrence of acoustic flares to the eastern segment of the sedimentary ridge, despite the presence of pockmarks along the entire ridge, indicates a spatial variation in seepage activity. This variation coincides with a change in the faulting pattern as well as in the characteristics of the fluid flow features. Due to the position of the Vestnesa Ridge with respect to the Molloy and Knipovich mid-ocean ridges, it has been suggested that seepage along the ridge has a tectonic control. We modelled the tectonic stress regime due to oblique spreading along the Molloy and Knipovich ridges to investigate whether spatial variations in the tectonic regime along the Vestnesa Ridge are plausible. The model predicts a zone of tensile stress that extends northward from the Knipovich Ridge and encompasses the zone of acoustic flares on the eastern Vestnesa Ridge. In this zone the orientation of the maximum principal stress is parallel to pre-existing faults. The model predicts a strike-slip stress regime in regions with pockmarks where acoustic flares have not been documented. If a certain degree of coupling is assumed between deep crustal and near-surface deformation, it is possible that ridge-push forces have influenced seepage activity in the region by interacting with the pore-pressure regime at the base of the gas hydrate stability zone. More abundant seepage on the eastern Vestnesa Ridge at present may be facilitated by the dilation of faults and fractures favourably oriented with respect to the stress field. A modified state of stress in the past, due to more significant glacial stress for instance, may explain vigorous seepage activity along the entire Vestnesa Ridge. The contribution of other mechanisms to the state of stress (i.e. sedimentary loading and lithospheric flexure) remain to be investigated. Our study provides a first-order assessment of how tectonic stresses may be influencing the kinematics of near-surface faults and associated seepage activity offshore of the western Svalbard margin.
Specialty Grand Challenge Article Grand Challenges in the Physics of the Sun and Sun-like Stars 2. Solar and Stellar Dynamos Astronomy and Space Sciences 3. Improving the Predictability of Space Weather

1. INTRODUCTION " If the Sun had no magnetic field, it would be as uninteresting as most astronomers think it is. " This statement is attributed to R. B. Leighton (Moore and Rabin, 1985). Personally I think the Sun is of enormous interest in all respects, magnetic and non-magnetic; nonetheless, the grand challenges I have selected for this article do indeed pertain to the Sun's magnetic field. The study of stellar structure and evolution is one of the main building blocks of astrophysics, and the Sun has an importance both as the star that is most amenable to detailed study and as the star that has by far the biggest impact on the Earth and near-Earth environment through its radiative and particulate outputs. Over the past decades, studies of stars and of the Sun have become somewhat separate. But in recent years, the rapid advances in asteroseismology, as well as the quest to better understand solar and stellar dynamos, have emphasized once again the synergy between studies of the stars and the Sun. In this article I have selected two " grand challenges " both for their crucial importance and because I think that these two problems are tractable to significant progress in the next decade. They are (i) understanding how solar and stellar dynamos generate magnetic field, and (ii) improving the predictability of geo-effective space weather. How does the Sun generate its periodically reversing large-scale magnetic field? How do other solar-like stars generate their magnetic fields, and what are the similarities and differences between stellar activity cycles and that of the Sun? What can be learned about the solar dynamo by studying other stars? One of the most evident manifestations of solar magnetism is the number of sunspots, which waxes and wanes with an approximately 11-year quasi-periodic cycle. Once the polarity flip between 11-year cycles is taken into account, this becomes an approximately 22-year cycle. The Sun's large-scale ambient field, which is predominantly dipolar, has a similar 22-year cycle. Sunspots occur where concentrations of magnetic flux poke out through the Sun's surface, inhibiting the convection and causing that portion of the surface to be cooler (and hence darker) than its surroundings. Sunspots often occur in identifiable bipolar pairs, roughly oriented along lines of constant latitude but with the leading spot typically closer to the equator. The polarity of the leading spot is oppositely signed in the two hemispheres, and …
Encephalitis and aseptic meningitis, Olmsted County, Minnesota, 1950–1981: I. Epidemiology

All cases fulfilling stated criteria for encephalitis and aspectic meningitis in Olmsted County, Minnesota, for the period 1950 through 1981 were identified. This is, to our knowledge, the first such incidence and trend study in a delineated population, providing rates per 100,000 person‐years of 7.4 for encephalitis (189 cases) and 10.9 for aseptic menigitis (283 cases). These are about twelve and six times higher, respectively, than the rates reported by the Centers for Disease Control. The rates have been stable over successive 5‐ or 10‐year periods except for a recent increase in aseptic meningitis. Both conditions were more common in the summer months, in childhood, and among males. Viral identification using conventional laboratory tests has improved with time; in the period 1970 through 1981, virus type was specified in about one‐fourth of the cases. The most common agents identified were California and mumps viruses in encephalitis, and entero and mumps viruses in aseptic meningitis. Antecedent and/or concurrent infections were noted in 42 and 35% of encephalitis and aseptic meningitis cases, respectively. No case due to mumps, measles, or rubella viruses has occurred since 1972, reflecting the impact of immunizations. Recovery was reported at the end of the acute phase in 95% of patients with aseptic meningitis, and there were no deaths. Seventy‐eight percent of encephalitis patients recovered completely; the case fatality rate was 3.8%. Of the encephalitis cases, 2% were diagnosed initially postmortem.
Almost Optimal Canonical Property Testers for Satisfiability

In the (k, d)-Function-SAT problem we are given a set of n variables {X1, . , Xn} that can take values from the set {1, . , d} and a set of Boolean constraints on these variables, where each constraint is of the form f : {1, . , d}k → {0, 1}, i.e. the constraint depends on exactly k of these variables. We will treat k and d as constants. The goal is to determine whether the set of constraints has a satisfying assignment, i.e. an assignment to the variables such that all constraints simultanuously map to 1. In this paper, we study (k, d)-Function-SAT in the property testing model for dense instances. We call an instance ε-far from satisfiable, if every assignment violates more than εnk constraints. A property testing algorithm is a randomized algorithm that, given oracle access to the set of constraints, must accept with probability at least 3/4 all satisfiable inputs and rejects with probability at least 3/4 all inputs, which are ε-far from satisfiable. We analyze the canonical non-adaptive property testing algorithm with one-sided error: Sample r variables and accept, if and only if the induced set of constraints has a satisfying assignment. The value of r will be called the sample commlexity of the algorithm. We show that there is an r0 = O(1/ε) such that for any instance that is ε-far from satisfiable, the probability, that a random sample on r ≥ r0 variables is satisfiable, is at most 1/4. This implies that the above algorithm is a property tester. The obtained sample complexity is nearly optimal for canonical testers as a lower bound of Ω(1/ε) on the sample complexity is known. Previously, a tester with sample complexity o(1/ε2) was only known for the very special case of testing bipartiteness in the dense graph model [3]. Our new general result improves the best previous result for testing satisfiability (and even for the special case of 3-colorability in graphs) from sample complexity Õ(1/ε2) to Õ(1/ε). It also slightly improves the sample complexity for the special case of bipartiteness. Improving the sample complexity for (k, d)-Function-SAT (or special cases of it) had been posed in several papers as an open problem [3], [4], [17]. This paper solves this problem nearly optimally for canonical testers and, in the case of k = 2, also for nonadaptive testers as there is a lower bound of Ω(1/ε2) on the query complexity of non-adaptive testers for bipartiteness in the dense graph model [6], where the query complexity denotes the number of queries asked about the graph (for a canonical tester in graphs, the query complexity is the square of its sample complexity). As a byproduct, we obtain an algorithm, which, given a satisfiable set of constraints, computes in time O(n/εO(1) + 2Õ(1/ε)) a solution, which violates at most εnk constraints.

Standardization of the Face‐Hand Test

A SIMPLE PERCEFTUAL TEST, the face-hand test, has been introduced in previous studies and the responses of normal subjects and of patients with psychiatric disorders described in The test consists of applying touch or pinprick stimuli simultaneously to the face and hand while the subject’s eyes are closed. The subject is then asked to describe and to localize the percepts. Two general types of responses occur. The two stimuli may be perceived and localized correctly, or the subject may perceive only one stimulus and either not perceive the other (phenomenon of extinction) or mislocalize the second stimulus (phenomenon of displacement) . ’ Most often the mislocalization or displacement occurs to another part of the subject’s body, but occasionally there is displacement into extrapersonal space or onto the examiner (exosomesthesia ) Displacement of stimuli across the midline of the body (allesthesia) may also occur. @ Normal adults show errors in perception on the initial trials of the facehand test. Characteristically these errors consist of extinction of the stimulus to the hand whereas the face stimulus is perceived correctly (phenomenon of face dominance). As tests are repeated the errors disappear so that by the tenth trial nearly all subjects correctly perceive both stimuli and then continue to be correct on subsequent trials. This type of response has been termed a “negative face-hand test. ” It occurs not only with normal adults but also in patients with schizophrenia, depression, or severe anxiety. In contrast, patients with an organic mental syndrome show extinction and displacement after ten trials of testing or as long as testing is continued. Such a response is termed a “positive face-hand test. ” A “positive face-hand test” is also manifested by normal children, normal aged persons, and mental def edives . Because of the differential response of these several groups of subjects, the face-hand test has become useful clinically in detecting the presence of organic brain disease. During the course of our studies, however, it has been noted that patients with an organic mental syndrome vary greatly in the type and
Sensing Behavioral Change over Time

Personality traits describe individual differences in patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving ("between-person" variability). But individuals also show changes in their own patterns over time ("within-person" variability). Existing approaches to measuring within-person variability typically rely on self-report methods that do not account for fine-grained behavior change patterns (e.g., hour-by-hour). In this paper, we use passive sensing data from mobile phones to examine the extent to which within-person variability in behavioral patterns can predict self-reported personality traits. Data were collected from 646 college students who participated in a self-tracking assignment for 14 days. To measure variability in behavior, we focused on 5 sensed behaviors (ambient audio amplitude, exposure to human voice, physical activity, phone usage, and location data) and computed 4 within-person variability features (simple standard deviation, circadian rhythm, regularity index, and flexible regularity index). We identified a number of significant correlations between the within-person variability features and the self-reported personality traits. Finally, we designed a model to predict the personality traits from the within-person variability features. Our results show that we can predict personality traits with good accuracy. The resulting predictions correlate with self-reported personality traits in the range of r = 0.32, MAE = 0.45 (for Openness in iOS users) to r = 0.69, MAE = 0.55 (for Extraversion in Android users). Our results suggest that within-person variability features from smartphone data has potential for passive personality assessment.
