Controlling phenomenology by being unaware of intentions

This chapter reviews evidence that people have, to a varying degree, a trait ability to control phenomenology; that is, to construct subjective experiences according to situational requirements. The experiences can be subjectively compelling ones of involuntariness (for actually intentional movements); of perceptions (that grossly misrepresent reality); and of having beliefs (that in fact one only pretends to have, e.g. being of the opposite gender). Phenomenological control produces the neural and physiological processes that underlie having the subjective experiences. We argue that phenomenological control is best understood by distinguishing first order states from higher order thoughts; in particular, phenomenological control is produced by intentionally creating the required first order states while thinking one is not so intending. Phenomenological control can be used in any context where having a subjective experience would help convince yourself and others that you share group values. It can be used in a hypnotic context to create hypnotic responses. But it can also be used in the context of psychological experiments to construct the phenomena postulated by the researcher where those phenomena are suggested by demand characteristics.
Assessment of dissolved oxygen in Shatt Al-Arab River by other quality parameters of water using Artificial Neural Networks

The Major sources of water are surface and subsurface. Surface water includes Rivers, Reservoirs, Creek, Streams, etc. This paper deals with using a neural network model to recognize dissolved oxygen in Shatt AlArab. Within the present study, Shatt Al-Arab River (Basrah-Iraq) is considered as the study area with monthly observed data from 2009-2014. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been applied to pattern the relations among eight (8) water quality parameters which are devoted for predicting one parameter (1) so that to decrease the load of long experimental procedure. Physical and chemical parameters that are inserted in the model are: pH, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, sulphate, phosphate, calcium, magnesium and nitrate. Dissolved oxygen (DO) is included in the output models. The three layered feed-forward model with back-propagation multi-layer perception (MLP) models architecture of 8-8-1 for DO. The artificial neural network has got training successfully and has been tested with 70% and 30% of the data groups. Statistical criteria of correlation coefficient (R) and mean square error (MSE) are used to evaluate performance of the models. The correlation coefficients of the artificial neural network model for predicting DO have been 0.99354 and 0.98237, and mean square error for the model are 0.007698 and 0.00122 respectively. It can be concluding that these techniques provide similar accuracy in estimating DO concentration and predicting the dissolved oxygen (DO) in Shatt Al-Arab ARTICLE INFO
The Spatial Structure of US Metropolitan Employment: New Insights from LODES Data

Urban researchers have long debated the extent to which urban employment is monocentric, polycentric, or diffuse. In this paper I use high-resolution data based on unemployment insurance records to show that employment in US metropolitan areas is not centralized but is spatially concentrated. Unlike residents, who form a continuous surface covering most parts of each MSA, jobs have a bimodal spatial distribution, with most blocks containing no jobs whatsoever and a small number having extremely high employment densities. Across the 100 largest MSAs about 75% of jobs are located on the 10% of built land in Census blocks with at least twice as many jobs as people. Further, most of these jobs are in clustered business districts of more than 5 contiguous employment blocks. These relative proportions are extremely consistent across MSAs, even though cities vary greatly in the physical density at which they are constructed. Motivated by these empirical regularities, I introduce an algorithm to identify contiguous business districts and classify them into four major types. Based solely on the relative densities of employment and population, this algorithm is both simpler to implement and more flexible than current approaches, requiring no metro-specific tuning parameters and no assumptions about urban form. As one output, it provides an inductive, data-driven method of identifying city centers for the purposes of urban economic analysis.
Wave Dynamics in Inverse Krylov Subspaces

Recent studies have shown an increased interest in modal solutions of wave problems with resonating structures. These studies demonstrate that resonating structures with physical dimensions close to a wavelength can be accurately described by a few relevant resonating modes. The physical dimensions of the demonstrated resonating structures were close to a wavelength, which suggests that these highly-resonating modes have relatively low eigenvalues. Those resonating-modes are therefore dominantly present in Krylov subspaces generated by inverse projections of the wave-operator. Relevant wave dynamics can, therefore, be effectively computed from inverse Krylov subspaces. Furthermore, inverse Krylov subspaces are computationally stable and are therefore a powerful way to compute high-fidelity modal solutions. With interesting applications in high Q-factor wave problems. The aim of this work is on improving the performance of inverse Krylov subspaces. Improvements to inverse Krylov subspace can be grouped into two approaches. In the first approach symmetry is exploited in the inverse wave-operator for reduced computational complexity and in the second approach the wave-operator is conditioned for desirable characteristics at the relatively low side of the spectrum. We will study several wave-operator configurations and optimize according to those approaches. Earlier studies have shown that in the dimensions with pseudo-periodic boundary conditions, the double-curl is efficiently eigendecomposed as spatial derivatives are diagonal operators acting on frequency representations. We extend this work by providing an alternative, more compact presentation in the continuous domain of the eigendecomposition of the double-curl. This eigendecomposition is used to create a nullspace free eigenvalue problem. Consecutively, we analyse the characteristics of the inverse wave-operator with Perfectly Matched Layers (PML). This analysis shows that in terms of inverse Krylov subspaces, the PML is not the obvious choice for the optimal absorbing boundary condition. Most notably, the PML introduces undesirable effects at the lower end of the spectrum, significantly impeding the performance of inverse Krylov subspaces, which leads to the conclusion that absorbing boundary conditions should be reassessed in terms of inverse Krylov subspaces behaviour. Lastly, we will study the so-called Fixed-Frequency PML (FF-PML), which is a PML inspired time-independent absorbing boundary condition. Our study has shown that the FF-PML is a more suitable absorbing boundary condition candidate for inverse Krylov subspaces. It does not have the undesirable effects at the lower end of the spectrum, which the traditional PML has. Furthermore, and even more importantly, we derive analytic expressions of the inverse wave operator with FF-PML absorbing boundary conditions. This simple and novel insight is easily exploited to invert the wave-operator efficiently, which enables a new approach to the computation of modal solutions of open scattering problems. The first results of which look promising.
Comparative microsomal proteomics of a model lung cancer cell line NCI-H23 reveals distinct differences between molecular profiles of 3D and 2D cultured cells

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the USA and worldwide. Yet, about 95% of new drug candidates validated in preclinical phase eventually fail in clinical trials. Such a high attrition rate is attributed mostly to the inability of conventional two-dimensionally (2D) cultured cancer cells to mimic native three-dimensional (3D) growth of malignant cells in human tumors. To ascertain phenotypical differences between these two distinct culture conditions, we carried out a comparative proteomic analysis of a membrane fraction obtained from 3D- and 2D-cultured NSCLC model cell line NCI-H23. This analysis revealed a map of 1,166 (24%) protein species regulated in culture dependent manner, including differential regulation of a subset of cell surface-based CD molecules. We confirmed exclusive expression of CD99, CD146 and CD239 in 3D culture. Furthermore, label-free quantitation, targeting KRas proteoform-specific peptides, revealed upregulation of both wild type and monoallelic KRas4BG12C mutant at the surface of 3D cultured cells. In order to reduce the high attrition rate of new drug candidates, the results of this study strongly suggests exploiting base-line molecular profiling of a large number of patient-derived NSCLC cell lines grown in 2D and 3D culture, prior to actual drug candidate testing.
Combination of Metal-Catalyzed Cycloisomerizations and Biocatalysis in Aqueous Media: Asymmetric Construction of Chiral Alcohols, Lactones, and γ-Hydroxy-Carbonyl Compounds

The combination of the metal-catalyzed cycloisomerization of alkynes containing a tethered nucleophile as substituent in aqueous media (followed by the spontaneous hydrolysis, hydroalkoxylation, or aminolysis of the transiently formed five-membered heterocycles) with the subsequent enantioselective ketone bioreduction (mediated by KREDs) has been achieved. The overall transformations, which formally involve a three-step one-pot reaction, provide a variety of enantiopure valuable molecules (e.g., 1,4-diols, lactones, and γ-hydroxy-carbonyl compounds (carboxylic acids, esters, and amides)) with high conversions and enantioselectivities and under mild reaction conditions, disclosing the concept of integrated metal-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of alkynes and enzymatic catalysis in water.
The psychology and neuroscience of partisanship

Why have citizens become increasingly polarized? One answer is that there is increasing identification with political parties —a process known as partisanship. This chapter focuses on the role that social identity & partisanship play in contemporary politics. Partisan identities influence political preferences, such that partisans are more likely to agree with policies that were endorsed by their political party, regardless of the policy content, and, in some cases, their own ideological beliefs. We will describe how partisanship mirrors other forms of social identity, both behaviorally and in the brain. However, partisanship also has distinct biological origins, and consequences in political domains such as fake news sharing, conspiracy theory beliefs, and voting behavior. Our chapter focuses on the psychology and neuroscience of partisanship within broader socio-political contexts.
Epitaxial growth of NH 3 -doped ZnO thin films on / 02 % 24 S oriented sapphire substrates

NH3-doped ZnO films were grown on / 02 % 24 S oriented sapphire substrates at 610 � C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The crystal quality of the films was investigated by X-ray diffraction method, and the results indicated that the crystal quality of the doped film with NH3 flux 80 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute) is the best. At the same time, AFM images showed that this sample surface was also the most smooth. The Hall measurement results indicated that the film with 50 sccm NH3 flux showed p-type conductivity with hole concentrations of 10 16 cm � 3 , and the other films with more NH3 flux still showed n-type, though their resistivity was very high. At last, the nature of nitrogen in the films was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicated that nitrogen in NH3 combines with zinc by N � 3 at 50 sccm flux of NH3, and the O:Zn:N ratio is 40:45.5:14.6. As the flux increases, some hydrogen binding to nitrogen has been introduced into the ZnO films, which causes the resistivity to decrease again.
Vector-Borne Diseases and Economic Activity: Evidence from Historical Farmer Productivity in the US

This study provides an estimation of the causal relationship between the reduction in malaria transmission and farmer agricultural productivity. Exploiting exogenous ge- ographic variations in the stability of malaria and using historical disaggregated county data for the US together with a robust quasi-experimental approach, I show that the erad- ication of malaria led to approximately one fifth of the farmer agricultural productivity growth in the US. Using historical spatial data on cropland distribution within the US, I also show that the positive effect was entirely due to better health conditions rather than a greater availability of arable land. No effect is found on agricultural output per capita for more endemic counties, suggesting that the increase in farm output was compensated by the increase in population. Robustness checks from geographic variations in malaria stability within neighboring counties along with placebo treatments reinforce the positive effect of the eradication of malaria in the US on farmer agricultural productivity.
Measuring socio-emotional skills in schools: simple questionnaires outperform behavioral tasks

Recent empirical research has shown that improving socio-emotional skills such as grit, conscientiousness and self-control leads to higher academic achievement and better life outcomes. However, both theoretical and empirical works have raised concerns about the reliability of the different methods used to measure socio-emotional skills. We compared the reliability and validity of the three leading measurements methods - a student-reported questionnaire, a teacher-reported questionnaire, and a behavioral task - in a sample of 3,997 French students. Before analyzing the data, we polled 114 experts in cognitive development and education economics; most experts in both fields predicted that the behavioral task would be the best method. We found instead that the teacher questionnaire was more predictive of students' behavioral outcomes and of their grade progression, while the behavioral task was the least predictive. This work suggests that researchers may not be using optimal tools to measure socio-emotional skills in children.
Treatment of Diabetes mellitus in Children and Adolescents

The incidence of Type 1 Diabetes continues to increase around the world. Advances in technology of insulin delivery systems including closed loop and continuous glucose monitoring are improving the possibilities of maintaining desirable glucose control. Type 2 Diabetes is increasing in the adolescent age groups across the world, in certain populations especially including Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, African Americans, and South East Asians. For Type 2 Diabetes, the pharmacological armamentarium has markedly increased by the addition of GLP-1 agonists, DPP4 antagonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, each of which has improved metabolic control and cardiovascular outcomes. To date, these newer modalities are being tested in adolescents with T2DM but are not yet officially approved for this age group.Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) remains the initial presentation of some 30%-40% of pediatric patients, and DKA remains the leading cause of death, sometimes associated with Cerebral Edema; complications are also very high in children/adolescents presenting with Hyperglycemia/Hyperosmolar syndrome in the context of a T2DM clinical picture. Appropriate treatment in medical centers with trained personnel and modern laboratory facilities has markedly reduced the mortality and morbidity associated with DKA and Hyperglycemic-Hyperosmolar Syndrome.
Development of probiotic yoghurt mixed with roselle syrup

Yoghurt mixed with probiotic Lactobacillus casei and roselle syrup at concentration of 5 and 10% were produced. Counts of yoghurt bacteria and probiotic bacteria increased during fermentation at 43o C for 12 hours indicated that the bacterial starters had no effect on the growth of L. casei. The roselle syrup mixed yoghurts with probiotic were subjected to determine their properties during storage up to 21 days at 4o C. The survival of starter cultures (Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophillus) and probiotic L. casei, viscosity, syneresis, color values, pH, acidity and antioxidant activity were monitored. The results showed that the viscosity, syneresis and antioxidant activity decreased while the storage time had no effect on pH and the color values were not significantly changed. The survival of L. bulgaricus, S. thermophillus and L. casei decreased throughout the storage period but different levels of roselle syrup had no effect on the growth of probiotic L. casei which 8-9 log cfu/g was obtained until day 21, ensured that the yoghurt could be claimed for human health. The yeast and mold content was <100 cfu/g. The sensory scores of the 10% roselle syrup mixed yoghurt with probiotic L. casei was significantly higher than that of the 5% (p<0.05) and the liking score ranged in the medium-like.
Effect of dexmedetomidine on lung function and prognosis a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on lung function and prognosis.Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library from inception to January 30, 2020 following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement guidelines. Randomized controlled trials of dexmedetomidine associated with lung function were assessed. The primary outcomes are pH, PaO2, PaCO2, respiratory index (RI) and time to extubation. The secondary outcomes are PaO2/FiO2, length of hospital stay and events of pulmonary complications.Results: 17 trials of 924 patients were included. Compared with placebo group, dexmedetomidine group had higher PaO2 (MD: 10.96; 95% CI: from 0.77 to 21.15; p=0.04) and PaO2/FiO2 (MD: 30.77; 95% CI: from 19.11 to 42.43; p<0.00001). The dexmedetomidine group had lower PaCO2 (MD: -0.88; 95% CI: from -1.66 to -0.11; p=0.002) and shorter length of hospital stay (MD: -1.19; 95% CI: from -2.21 to -0.16; p=0.02). The dexmedetomidine group had lower occurrence of pulmonary complications (RR: 0.28; 95% CI: from 0.09 to 0.82; p=0.02). However, there is no significant difference in pH, respiratory index and extubation time.Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine has better influence on lung function and prognosis.

“It means so much for me, to have a choice.” First person perspectives on medication free treatment in mental health care: a qualitative interview study

Background: In 2016, Western Norway Regional Health Authority started to integrate more evidence-based psychosocial interventions into existing mental health care, emphasizing the right for persons with psychosis to choose medication-free treatment. This change emerged from the debate on the use of anti-psychotic medication regarding effectiveness and adverse effects. Aspects beyond symptom reduction, like interpersonal relationships, increased understanding of one’s own pattern of suffering, hope and motivation, are all considered important for the personal recovery process. Methods: This study explores if these aspects were present in the users’ descriptions of their recovery processes within the medication free treatment program in Bergen, Western Norway. We interviewed ten patients diagnosed with psychosis eligible for medication free services about their treatment experiences. Data were analyzed using Attride Sterling’s thematic network approach. Results: Findings show a global theme relating to personal recovery processes facilitated by more psychosocial treatment options, with three organizing sub-themes: Interpersonal relationships between patient and therapist; the patient’s understanding of personal patterns of suffering; personal motivation for self-agency in the recovery process. Informants described an improved relationship with therapists compared to previous experiences. Implementing more evidence-based psychosocial interventions integrated into existing mental health services facilitate learning experiences regarding the choice of treatment, in particular discontinuation of medication, and appears in this study to support increased self-agency and motivation for the informants in their personal recovery process.Conclusion: Health care in Norway is perhaps one step closer to optimizing the care for people with psychosis, allowing more choice and in this improving the dialogue and hence the interpersonal relationship between the patient and the therapist. Personal patterns of suffering are allowed to be explored within a system aiming to support and to have a higher level of acceptance of discontinuation of medication. This develops the need for personal agency in the treatment regimen, with more focus on personal coping strategies, and more personal responsibility for the recovery process.
