Authors: Širaiy Boris , Ilić Vladimir , Toskić Lazar
Published: May 2021

Wireless ECG body sensor Savvy is a feasible solution for reliable and accurate long-term heart rhythm monitoring. However, there were no studies dealing with usability of this sensor in field testing. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to evaluate the quality of the ECG signal measured with wearable wireless ECG body sensor when used in field test settings and to determine how different types of sensor fixation affects the quality of the ECG signal during sub-maximal and maximal running settings. Twenty-three participants, 10 females and 13 males, were included in the study (20.56 ± 1.19 years). All subjects performed shuttle run (SR), Cooper 2400 m (C), and 100 m sprint test (S), once wearing the sensor attached to self-adhesive skin electrodes, additionally fixed with self-adhesive tapes, and secondly with the sensor attached to Polar belt and strapped around the chest. Test outcomes were compared applying the Student t-test for dependent variables, or the non-parametric Wilcoxon test, depending on the results of the normality test. The results showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in the running speed that provides an assessable ECG signal between two different types of fixation in all three running tests – C, S, SR, as well as between the parameters “QRS detected as negative”, “correct software detection”, and “detected QRS” in the C and SR tests. Findings obtained in this study proved that if properly fixed, the ECG signal recorded with wireless ECG can be efficiently used for heart monitoring during physical activities in real setting and potentially could be used as additional tool in detection of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, fixation with Polar belt is more adequate for measurements made during physical activity in real setting compared to fixation with tape.

En läroplansanalys om samstämmighet inom Lgr11
Authors: Spjut Lina
Published: May 2021

This article investigates in what way the Swedish compulsory school curriculum (Lgr11) addresses knowledge regarding Swedish national minorities. The aim is to study alignment within Lgr11 through a case of the theme national minorities. Research questions target alignment within syllabi and alignment between syllabi and the aim and guidelines in the curricula. Theories of alignment and curriculum theory formed the theory and methodology for the analysis, foregrounding similarities and differences in how Swedish national minorities are addressed in Lgr11. Results show numerous inconsistencies. Learning goals in curriculum and syllabus content are, for instance, not aligned, and differences exist within the syllabus between aim (syfte), central content (centralt innehåll) and the lower set measurable demands (kunskapskrav). This is problematic since earlier research demonstrated that measurable demands have out-conquered teaching content. These challenges for teacher’s interpretation of curricula and syllabus can affect the teaching content.

Published: May 2021

Object and purpose of research. The study of the acoustic pulse changes regularities during its propagation in con-fined media is one of the fundamental problems of acoustics, which allows to pose and solve the inverse problem of determining the dissipative and resonant properties of these media. The physical processes occurring during the propagation of a pulse in a cylindrical waveguide with rigid walls were investigated. Materials and methods. To analyze the mechanism of dissipation, experimental studies of pulse propagation in a hy-droacoustic tube were carried out, and the theoretical description of the obtained results was carried out using analytical methods. The simulation of the propagating pulse in the finite element waveguide model was used to confirm the theoretical assessments and the experiment. Main results. Experimental studies of physical processes during the propagation of an acoustic pulse in confined medium of cylindrical waveguide bounded by walls with characteristics close to absolutely rigid are carried out. The data showed that it is possible to control changes in the phase velocity, amplitude, and waveform, which made it possible to quantify the impedance of the internal walls of the waveguide and the dissipation of acoustic energy with a sufficient degree of accuracy. The numerical model calculation, taking into account the theoretically obtained quantitative assessments of the dissipation values and the impedance value of the waveguide inner surface, showed a good correspondence between the model and experimental characteristics of the change in the propagating pulse. Conclusion. In the studies devoted to the propagation description of acoustic waves in waveguides, the issues of energy dissipation are usually not considered, especially in cases where it has a weak effect on the measurement result. The theoretical value of the research is to quantify the wave energy dissipation by the parameters that can be determined with sufficient accuracy in the experiment: the phase velocity, the pulse form. Further accuracy improvement of the experimental data, especially in a wide frequency range, will improve the theoretical model of dissipation by taking into account the mechanism of inhomogeneous viscous and thermal waves near the inner surface of the waveguide. The practical significance of the research is to increase the reliability of experimental data and to develop physical and mathematical models of underwater sound absorption due to a forced variable flow with a highly transformed velocity of a viscous liquid in a thin surface layer near the elastic wall.

Published: May 2021

Object and purpose of research. The progress in numerical simulation methods significantly widens the capabilities of theoretical analysis in the tasks requiring extensive calculations and input data sets, like sound propagation at sea. This paper discusses the feasibility of a numerical model describing the physics of acoustic signal propagation in a deep-water channel. Materials and methods. Acoustic signal calculation is performed as per the ray-path theory with a numerical model taking into account depth-wise variations of sound velocity and seabed parameters. Main results. It was shown that depending on the vertical distribution of sound speed, the source depth and distance, the acoustic wave propagation direction can change over significant range of angles the in vertical plane. In this regard it is advisable to calculate the real target force of an object of complex geometry not only from heading angle in horizontal plane but also in terms of the possible range of angles in the vertical plane. Conclusion. Model-analyzed angles range of long-range wave propagation may be used for change estimation of object target force characteristics. Practical significance of the study lies in improving the methods of calculation of the real target force of complex shape objects in terms of state-of the art capabilities of simulating the propagation of acoustic signals conditions in the ocean.

Authors: Kuzmich Irina , Scherbaum Charles
Published: May 2021

This research utilizes mouse tracking as a potential behavioral method to examine cognitive processes underlying faking on forced-choice personality inventories. Mouse tracking is a method from social categorization research that captures a variety of metrics related to motor movements, which are linked to cognitive processing. To explore the utility of this method, we examined differences in the mouse tracking metrics of those instructed to respond honestly or to fake. Our findings show that there is a distinguishable difference in the behavioral response of those who are faking when responding to pairs of personality descriptors presented in a forced-choice format compared to those who are responding honestly. Implications and contributions of this study include insights into the cognitive processing that can occur while responding to personality items when respondents are faking and a demonstration of how mouse tracking methods can be used to detect faking.
Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire: How Verbal Deception Cues Signal Deceptive Versus Honest Impression Management and Influence Interview Ratings
Authors: Roth Lenke , Klehe Ute-Christine , Willhardt Gloria
Published: May 2021

Impression management (IM), especially deceptive IM (faking), is a cause for concern in selection interviews. The current study combines findings on lie detection with signaling theory to address how candidates’ deceptive versus honest IM shows in verbal deception cues, which then relate to interview ratings of candidates’ interview performance. After completing a structured interview rated by two trained interviewers, 182 candidates reported their deceptive and honest IM. Verbal deception cues (plausibility, verbal uncertainty) were coded from video recordings. Results supported the hypotheses: Deceptive IM directly raised interviewer ratings (intended positive signal) but lowered the responses’ plausibility and enhanced verbal uncertainties (unintended negative signals). Honest IM raised responses’ plausibility. Plausibility related positively to interviewer ratings (receiver reaction), thus accounting for a negative indirect effect of deceptive IM and a positive indirect effect of honest IM on interviewer ratings. This study contributes to theory and practice regarding faking detection in employment interviews.

Authors: Putri  Faizal Zahranissa
Published: May 2021

With the limitation of the principle of fault-based liability, which is not effective in the implementation of the responsibility for activities with high risk, Law No. 23 of 1997 concerning Environmental Management and Law no. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management which adheres to the principle of absolute responsibility or strict liability. The regulation regarding the principle of strict liability is clarified in Article 88 of Law no. 32 of 2009 (UU PLH). However, with the passing of the Omnibus Law, which changed Article 88 of Law no. 32 of 2009 becomes article 88 of the Omnibus Law, which eliminates the principle of strict liability. This writing uses a normative approach, a statutory approach. The data analysis used is a qualitative analysis. The elimination of strict liability in resolving environmental disputes is considered a shift, which in the provisions of Article 88 of the Job Creation Law seems to provide an opportunity for corporations to pollute the environment without firm accountability. The government seems to protect the sustainability of a corporation more than the interests of the community. The type of research used in this study is using normative legal research methods using a statutory approach and literature study.

The Lagos State Statutory (Protection against Domestic Violence) Law was enacted on March 18, 2007 to protect inhabitants of the State against all forms of domestic violence. In spite of the enactment of this law, many inhabitants of Lagos State are still imperiled to emotional, psychological and physical traumas arising from domestic violence. This study validated contextual influences and the understanding of statutory law protecting women against domestic violence in Lagos State. Contextual influences were captured as socio-demographic characteristics, sociocultural and economic factors. The study adopted the quantitative cross-sectional research design method. Information was sourced randomly among police personnel across Police Divisions within the State Police Command from July to November, 2019. The Fishers sampling technique was employed to arrive at a sample size of 312 from a total population of 1650 police personnel in Lagos State. Stata version 14 was used in data analysis. The results showed that a biased approach to domestic violence against women was higher among male (87%) than female (13%) police personnel. A biased approach to domestic violence against women was higher among non-commissioned (65.2%) than commissioned (34.5%) police personnel. Contextual influences such as sociodemographic, sociocultural and economic factors, as well as police understanding of statutory law against domestic violence were found to be significantly associated with police approach to domestic violence against women in Lagos State. The study concluded that the enactment of the protection against violence law was an appropriate measure to addressing domestic violence, still, the police need to be more proactive and unbiased in handling reported cases of domestic violence against women in the State.

Subjective Well-Being among Institutionalized and Non- Institutionalized Senior Citizens
Authors: Dr. Dev Ashish  , Prof M. Ghufran
Published: May 2021

The concept of subjective well-being has ever been a matter of intense debate and it has always cogitated the minds of great thinkers all over the world ever since the inception of human civilization .Still it is difficult to define it comprehensively as to what constitutes good life. It varies from individual to individual as some people think material wealth is the source of happiness where as for others, it is renunciation. In fact, the Weser and the Eastern cultures are markedly different on the issue of subjective well-being as the former has always gone for how much more it can have and the later struggled for the least requirement of life. Naturally, the dichotomy is science versus religion or more precisely, it is materialism versus spiritualism. The result is that the West has developed the empirical science and the East has excelled in spirituality. Thus, the overall culture influences the mass into grasping the philosophy of subjective well-being on the average. That’s why the count on subjective well-being may be subjected to external or internal factors like sense-pleasure, human relationship, love-needs, material gain or renunciation leading to spiritual upliftment.

Enhancing Social Capital among Employees: Psychological Approach
Authors: Subia Khan  , Mustafa Nadeem Kirmani
Published: May 2021

All organizations aim to maximise commercial benefits and increase their products in the market. Employees play a significant role in the growth of any organization. The skills, training, personality and motivation of the employees are critical for organizational growth. Traditionally, it was believed that monetary incentives are the most robust factor to change employees’ motivation toward work and thereby production of the company. Recent research, however, has shown that besides monetary incentive, there are other psychosocial factors which play an equally significant role in the production of the organization.

Positive psychological factors like hope, self-efficacy, resilience, optimism and social relations play a significant role in maintaining and enhancing employees work motivation and production. These are often known as capitals of the organizations. The importance of interpersonal relations at workplace has been highlighted in most of the organizations. Human connections, relatedness and bond are significant in creating positive relationships at work place. Interpersonal network and trusting relationships among people inside and outside the organization is known as social capital. The social capital depends on gamut of factors related to interpersonal skills of the employees and ambience of the organization.

Increasing social capital not only increases the production of the organization but also create positive bond and happiness among the employees. The current paper will focus on various psychological interventions which can help people to develop and enhance their relationships and intimacy with other employees thereby increasing the production and their happiness

Authors: Marson Justin , Farberg Aaron , Glazer Alex , Litchman Graham , Svoboda Ryan , Winkelmann Richard , Rigel Darrell
Published: May 2021

Background: Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) are the overall most common type of malignancy. Despite this fact, the use of sunscreen as a primary preventative measure for skin cancer is not ubiquitous.
Objective: To review the literature regarding efficacy and safety of sunscreens and to process and condense data into overarching principles to provide guidance to the general public and improve outcomes for melanoma NMSC.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature pertaining to sunscreen efficacy in the primary prevention of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, safety in humans and environmental impact was conducted. Following a thorough review of the literature, the Skin Cancer Prevention Working Group (SCPWG), an expert panel consisting of dermatologists with specialized training in melanoma and NMSC diagnosis and management, employed a modified Delphi technique to reach consensus over the development of statements regarding the current level of evidence for sunscreen efficacy and safety. Final statements were only adopted after achieving a supermajority vote >80%.
Results: 96 articles were identified for further review and discussion. The SCPWG developed 7 consensus statements regarding the efficacy and safety of sunscreens and their role in the prevention of melanoma and NMSC.
Conclusion: The proven benefits of primary skin cancer prevention outweigh the potential/hypothetical risks of sunscreen use, especially given insufficient real-world, prospective data for the discussed risks. As experts in skin health and skin cancer pathophysiology, the SCPWG believes dermatologists are uniquely qualified to lead future studies investigating sunscreen efficacy and safety and should counsel patients and the public on skin cancer primary prevention strategies.
Extradural abscess following synthetic fabric duraplasty
Authors: Sapkota Shabal , Karn Mitesh
Published: May 2021

Background:

Duraplasty refers to the neurosurgical process of reconstructing dural defect. Variety of materials is used for such reconstruction, including natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic materials. Although synthetic materials are readily available and easy to apply, these are associated with foreign body reaction which may lead to serious consequences in some cases. We describe one such rare instance of extradural abscess after polypropylene synthetic fabric duraplasty.

Case Description:

Our patient is a 33-year-old lady who suffered road traffic accident leading to massive brain laceration, contusion of bilateral frontal lobes, and anterior skull base fractures. Emergency craniotomy was carried out and dural defect repaired with polypropylene (G-Patch; G. Surgiwear® Ltd.) synthetic fabric as the duraplasty material. Three months later, the patient presented with discharging wound at the incision site. Neuroimaging showed ring enhancing lesion in frontobasal extradural space with cutaneous extension. The lesion failed to heal despite intravenous antibiotics and surgery was planned. Intraoperatively, abscess was found between G-Patch and dura. Histopathology showed granulomatous foreign body reaction. The lesion healed after synthetic dura removal and abscess drainage.

Conclusion:

Although various materials are used for duraplasty, there is no clear consensus on what material should be used for dural repair. Synthetic materials are bio-inert, offer good handling and malleability. Polypropylene has been used safely for both single- and double-layered duraplasty. However, foreign body reaction may occur and very rarely present as extradural abscess. Randomized trials should be done to establish the safety and efficacy profile of commonly used duraplasty materials.

By permanently emerging new techniques, this presents a growing challenge and increasing state of excite-ment. The experimental artist works against the apparatus; is looking for possibilities to make the program fail. His/Her aim in doing so is to highlight the significant features; to ask the fundamental questions.
Mennyiben pontosíthatja a georadaros vizsgálat a homokterületek geomorfológiai kutatásának eredményeit? Komplex tanulmány egy belső-somogyi homokbuckán

A complex geomorphological research was car-ried out on an aeolian sand dune in Inner Somogy, Hungary. Sedimentological analysis showed three layers of sediment composed of sand with differing characteristics (Györgyövics et al., 2014) which suggested at least 3 aeolian phases in the region. OSL dating of samples from the same boreholes con-firmed these periods and determined that sand was deposited during the Late Glacial, the Dryases and Boreal phase (Kiss et al. 2012). However, carrying out a GPR survey revealed much more detailed structure of the particular dune. Compar-ing research results and applying GPR profiling in the early stages of geomorphological investigation could help choos-ing the OSL sampling points and depths resulting in a more precise study.

Eosinophilic gastritis is an uncommon disease characterized by focal or diffuse eosinophilic infiltration of the gastric wall and is usually associated with dyspepsia and peripheral eosinophilia. The stomach and small bowel are usually involved in Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder (EGID) which is called Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis (EG), but the esophagus and colon are rarely involved. Gastrointestinal obstruction rarely occurs with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and usually happens when the eosinophils predominantly involve the muscular layer of the gastrointestinal tract. Here we present a case of a Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patient in which Gastric Outlet Obstruction (GOO) is caused by eosinophilic gastritis and treated successfully with steroids.
Perinatal SSRI Antidepressant Use: The Ongoing Ethical Dilemma and Continued Need for Practice Recommendations
Authors:   Department of Counseling & School Psychology, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA, Simhi Meital
Published: May 2021

There is conflicting information regarding the risks and consequences of fetal exposure to antidepressant medications, specifically SSRIs. Providing pregnant women with accurate information regarding the risks and benefits associated with antidepressants is a critical public health issue. Unfortunately, clinical practice guidelines vary and sometimes offer contradictory recommendations regarding pharmacological treatment during pregnancy, because not enough is known about the effects of antidepressant medication on the fetus. Not surprisingly, both pregnant women and healthcare providers such as psychiatrists, psychiatric mental health nurses, and physicians express feelings of conflict when considering prescribing/taking SSRI’s. Current guidelines also do not provide guidance on presenting adequate informed consent for this potential conflict. This paper explores the literature on fetal harms and maternal-fetal conflict that are associated with antidepressant medication used in pregnancy and discuss the need for enhanced collaborative care. It also offers specific recommendations for addressing the ethical challenges that arise when pregnant women are considering antidepressant treatment.
