The Impact of Ruminative Thinking on Verbal and Visual Task Performance
Authors: Johnman Melissa L. , Boschen Mark
Published: May 2023

Research shows the detrimental effects of rumination on individuals’ cognitive performance. However, there is limited research regarding rumination interference on task performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the link between rumination and cognition and explore if its impact is better described by Baddeley’s working memory model or Borkovec’s cognitive avoidance theory of worry. A laboratory experiment was conducted comparing three ruminative valence groups (negative, neutral, and positive). The aim was to explore individuals’ performance on a verbal and visual free-recall task and determine interference effects. Task scores pre- and post-rumination were collected from 69 university student participants and two 3 × 2 ANOVAs were conducted. The results suggest rumination may not interfere with individuals’ verbal and visual task performance, indicating the link between rumination and cognition may not be as significant as previously suggested. Furthermore, the results suggest that Baddeley’s model is a better description of rumination impacts on task performance compared to Borkovec’s theoretical model.

Falsafah Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) Beracuankan Islam Melalui Teori ‘Umran
Authors: Muhd. Abdul Afiq Bin Muhd Sahari  , Prof. Dr. Haji Mahayuddin bin Yahaia
Published: May 2023

Falsafah Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) diistyihar dan dimasyhurkan sebagai konsep aspirasi nasional yang unik, dinamik, progresif dan bersepadu yang dengan jelas menunjukkan bahawa Melayu, Islam dan Beraja akan dijadikan oleh negara sebagai dasar negara di dalam berfikir, bertindak, menilai dan merancang keseluruhan hidup berbangsa, bernegara dan berugama. Melalui konsep dan dasar ini, kita dapat menentukan dan menitik-beratkan kesesuaian sesuatu pembangunan yang hendak dilaksanakan iaitu bersesuaian dengan calak kebruneian dan pemerintahan beraja serta yang paling penting tidak bercanggah dengan hukum dan peraturan Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala. Di samping itu, MIB juga merupakan asas untuk integrasi kebangsaan Brunei dan dijadikan sumber rujukan, panduan serta idea untuk pembentukkan calak identiti kebruneian. Konsep MIB juga menegaskan bahawa negara Brunei Darussalam adalah sebuah negara Melayu yang mengutamakan dan melaksanakan nilai-nilai Islam yang benar dengan mengekalkan sistem pemerintahan Melayu yang dipimpin oleh Sultan dan nilai-nilai luhur bangsa Melayu, bahasa, adat resam dan kebudayaan Melayu yang tidak bercanggah dengan nilai-nilai Islam. Falsafah MIB dilihat mempunyai persamaan dan dapat dikaitkan serta digabungkan dengan teori umran kerana kedua-duanya dilihat dapat saling bantu-membantu diantara satu sama lain iaitu falsafah MIB bertindak sebagai dasar negara manakala teori umran bertindak sebagai acuan pembangunan negara. Teori umran yang bertindak sebagai acuan pembangunan ini mampu menguatkan lagi dasar negara dan sama sekali tidak menggugat apa-apa jua yang telah diterapkan di dalam falsafah MIB. Kesepaduan yang diterapkan melalui konsep MIB yang bertindak sebagai dasar dan teori umran yang bertindak sebagai acuan semestinya akan membawa kepada kemakmuran berbangsa, bermasyarakat, beraja, beragama dan bernegara serta akan mampu mewujudkan kemakmuran alam sejagat.
علم العمران، أصوله وفروعه ومصادره وعلاقته بالدين الإسلامي
Authors: محي الدين بن الحاج يحي
Published: May 2023

العمران هو مفهوم العلم الذي صمَّمه ابن خلدون لمعالجة مشاكل المجتمع والدولة لغرض التنمية بالمعنى الحقيقي. في نفس الوقت يحاول تحويل الرأي العام، وخاصة الفلاسفة والمؤرخين من أجل أن يرى ويعيد النظر في الأسباب الحقيقية للمشكلة فيما يتعلق بتأثير ونفوذ الثقافة والبيئة على حياة الناس اللتين تم تجاهلهما. تأثير الثقافة ونفوذها المستمر فهي متجذرة بعمق في المجتمع، فضلا عن تغير المناخ لإحداث ما يؤدي إلى تغيير الناس أيضا. ويستند كل تغيير في القوانين والأنظمة إلى هذا التغيير. هذا هو ما يسمى طبيعة العمران (قانون المجتمع) وطبيعة الكون (القوانين الطبيعية) التي لم تتم دراستها ولم تعرف إلى الآن. وهذا هو السبب الذي جعل الناس لا يزالون واقعين فريسة للحياة المادية المدنيّة والحضريّة التي جرفتنا شوطا طويلا دون إجراء أية تغييرات
Conceptual Core Competency Model for Halal Executives in Food Manufacturing Companies
Authors: Nik Mohd Rosli  , N. R, Huda  , F. H., Ahmad Fadzillah  , Yzh-Y Hashim, Ahmad, A. N
Published: May 2023

A competent halal executive is essential and an integral part of the Halal Management System in Halal-certified companies. Core competencies in general are linked with job productivity, job performance, and organisational performance. In Malaysia, initiatives are currently underway to produce competent and professional Halal executives. As for now, the competencies of halal executives are yet to be defined. Defining and identifying the core competencies is pivotal as the Malaysian Halal industry needs to appoint more competent halal executives to serve the halal-certified companies. Thus, this article aims to identify the set of competencies for halal executives via a literature review. This would allow for the further development of the Halal executive core competencies conceptual model. In addition, the background of Halal executives in the Malaysian Halal industry is also discussed to provide context for this review article. The conceptual model proposed is useful in discussing and developing the idea of core competencies, especially in the halal manufacturing industry context. A comprehensive core competencies model is useful for preparing future halal executives, evaluating halal executives' practises in the workplace, and for their lifelong professional development. Other countries could use the same core competencies framework to inform the development of the human resource related to Halal.
HALAL MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT IN CREATING JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN BRUNEI DARUSSALAM
Authors: Deuraseh Nurdeng , Bte Pg Mohd Anuar Siti Raudhatun Nabilah
Published: May 2023

In Brunei, the Halal industry is not just focusing on food and beverages but also attempts to bring forward on other sectors including pharmaceutical, cosmetics, finances, tourism and media and entertainment. The establishment of Halalan Thayyiban Research Centre is an initiative disseminating and developing halal awareness in the society. One of the objectives of this research centre is to offer academic programmes in the field of Halalan Thayyiban. As this programme is still new and Halal industry is still developing in Brunei, this raises concern among the Halal graduates as their career path is still unclear and in need of guidance. In addition, the rate of unemployment in this country especially among youths is quite high. Therefore, this study aims to achieve three main objectives. Firstly, to provide an overview of Halal Media and Entertainment in Brunei. Secondly, to identify the challenges and opportunities in developing Halal Media and Entertainment in Brunei. Thirdly, to explore the job opportunities and career path available for Halal Science graduates specifically in Halal Media and Entertainment industry. To achieve these objectives, a semi-structured interview is conducted to assess employer’s suggestions on potential careers available in this sector. The process of search and data collection was also done by analyzing all the resources and materials related to the topic such as reviewing research paper, book, journal and articles as secondary sources. The finding of this study indicates that Halal Science graduates have higher chances to secure their job and career in private sectors compared to the government sectors. Some of the positions they may apply such as script supervisor, producer, part of censorship board in MOHA, part of Media team in Pusat Dakwah Islamiyah, religious officer, certified Islamic preacher, lecturer and etc.

Keywords: Unemployment, Job opportunity, Halal industry, Challenge, Halal Media and Entertainment.
THE EFFECT OF HALAL AWARENESS AND CONSUMER DEMOGRAPHICS ON INTENTION TO PURCHASE HALAL FOOD: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN BRUNEI DARUSSALAM AND UGANDA
Authors: Ibrahim Karibala , AGHWAN ZEIAD
Published: May 2023

Consumer demographics and their level of awareness are important factors as determinants towards the foods they consume. The study aimed at comparatively examining the effect of Halal awareness and consumer demographics on intention to purchase Halal food in Brunei Darussalam and Uganda. In execution, it used a correlational research design to ascertain whether research variables were related, the nature and strength of effects. The study’s discoveries led to conclusions that Halal awareness efforts like government support policies, certification, health expert approvals, and individual exposure alongside religiosity significantly boost one’s intention to purchase Halal food up to 25% in Brunei and up to 51.6% in Uganda, respectively. It is also concluded that the effect was greater in Uganda compared to Brunei. The study thus empirically recommended that the Ugandan government should support the Halal industry to boost consumers’ intention to purchase such products. The study further recommended that marketers and sales agents of Halal products should concentrate on Muslim-dominated regions to entice more public willingness to purchase. Religiosity was found to be a significant catalyst towards one’s intention to buy Halal products. For Uganda, the study also recommended that Halal food certification should be spearheaded by government other than private organizations so as to streamline such efforts, boost public trust, and fund the relevant processes to significantly impact on this particular sub-sector.
HALAL IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY AROUND THE GLOBE

Published: May 2023

The concept of Halal is well understood and practiced Muslims. Muslims are restricted to only consuming foods that are certified as Halal. However, today, the consumption of Halal food is no longer regarded only as a religious obligation for Muslims, but is also sought after by non-Muslim society due to the rising health concern as Halal foods are often classified as ones that have high quality from the perspectives of safety and hygiene. The fact that there are already 1.9 billion Muslims in the globe is indisputable proof that the halal food sector is promising for both Muslim and non-Muslim participants in the industry. Many Muslim-minority countries, such as New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, the United States of America (USA), India, and Argentina are also exporting Halal foods to foreign countries as they believe that this can generate substantial revenue for them. Nevertheless, low awareness of the concept of halal, uncertainties regarding the ingredients used in the products, and misleading information on a product’s packaging are a few of the challenges in the Halal food industry. In order to popularize the concept of Halal to more non-Muslims, the authority, plays a significant role in this scenario by providing public information related to the concept of Halal as well as taking more stern actions in combating the occurrence of Halal food frauds.
La performance durable au cœur des entreprises responsables
Authors: HACHMI Houda , GHAILANI NOUROUTI Naima , LAGLAOUI Amin
Published: May 2023

Cet article vise à explorer le champ de la convergence entre la Responsabilité Sociétale des Entreprises (RSE) et la performance durable. Celle-ci renvoie à la nécessité pour l’entreprise d’assurer une meilleure gestion économique, sociétale et environnementale, de la conception des produits à leur mise à disposition sur le marché, en passant par la fabrication. On la considère donc comme une stratégie opportune pour tout type et taille d’entreprise qui souhaite s’insérer sur le marché et assurer sa compétitivité. Pour autant, opter pour une telle stratégie reste un défi organisationnel car ce qui différencie la performance classique de la performance durable n’est pas son utilité, mais plutôt l’impact qu’elle génère aux niveaux social et environnemental. La contribution de la RSE au développement et à la performance durables tient compte des sept principes et valeurs exprimés à travers la norme ISO 26 000, et prend notamment en considération sept questions centrales incluant plusieurs domaines d’actions qui couvrent les trois piliers du développement durable. Ils sont relatifs à l’environnement, aux droits de l’Homme, à la loyauté des pratiques, aux relations et aux conditions de travail, au développement local ainsi qu’à tout ce qui s’applique aux consommateurs. L’appréhension et l’emploi de ces actions au profit des entreprises constituent une piste vers une amélioration durable.

Published: May 2023

Dans de nombreux pays du Sud et sous l’impulsion des acteurs internationaux (institutions, ONG et bailleurs internationaux), l’écotourisme est souvent vu comme un excellent moyen pour promouvoir le développement durable. Au Maroc, vu la place qu’occupe l’enjeu du développement local des régions rurales sur le plan économique et social, les autorités, en partenariat avec des ONG internationales, ont lancé plusieurs programmes dont l’objectif est de dynamiser les économies locales, favoriser la création des petites entreprises rurales et participer à la lutte contre la pauvreté et à la protection de l’environnement. Notre problématique porte sur l’étude du rôle des réseaux transnationaux et des Organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) environnementales dans la promotion du tourisme rural et dans le développement local : cas du programme du co-développement entre l'Agence Française de Développement (AFD) et l'Agence de développement social (ADS) au Maroc.

Elucidating the Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Rural Population
Authors: Nesiama Esere , Prakash Sameer , Mansi Tarek , Merza Nooraldin , Trammell Deborah , Balducci Michelle , Obokhare Izi
Published: May 2023

Background

The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has increased steadily in the last decade in the United States and is one of the leading causes of death. However, screening rates for colorectal cancer continue to remain at an all-time low in the United States and worldwide. Cancer screening programs can effectively reduce the burden of cancer when designed properly to ensure compliance and efficacy. The principal challenges in optimizing the delivery of effective cancer screening services and reducing inappropriate testing are predicated on (1) recognizing the main barriers preventing the delivery of life-preserving cancer screening available to eligible and vulnerable populations; (2) changing the behaviors of health care providers to follow recommended cancer screening guidelines for all patient encounters; and (3) changing the behaviors of individuals to obtain recommended screening education, tests and pursue follow-up.

Methodology

Surveys were distributed at various cancer screening events. The questionnaire was one page long and focused on the question: "What barriers do you experience with cancer screening? Please mark all that apply:" The barriers to cancer screening listed on the questionnaire were: embarrassment, unpleasantness of test, transportation, cost/lack of insurance, fear of results, lack of symptoms, lack of physician recommendations, lack of awareness, language barriers, and other causes. The questionnaire also recorded patient demographics including age, gender, and race.

Results

A total of 194 patients responded to our survey. 122 (62.9%) females, 71 males (36.6 %) and one did not specify. Genders were generally equally represented among all races. The ages ranged from 13 to 86 years with a mean of 51.79 and a standard deviation of 13.5. The overwhelmingly main barrier for screening was lack of funding or insurance (66%).

Conclusion

Given low screening rates for CRC, collaborative efforts should be made to remind more patients and have close follow up with their primary care physicians. Multilevel interventions can help address these barriers in preventing this deadly disease.

Authors: Prakash DO Sameer , Kibuule MD Grace , Merza MD Nooraldin , Trammell Deborah , Balducci Michelle , Nazim MD Muhammad , Santos MD Ariel , Obokhare MD Izi
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) continues to be integrated into medical school and residency curriculums with objectives to increase proficiency and utilization in practice. Implementation of a targeted curriculum with faculty can increase proficiency of ultrasound.
Methods: We created a POCUS pilot program at a small academic center to assess faculty members’ knowledges and perception about ultrasound in surgical settings. We conducted an observational cross-sectional study to test the hypothesis and hypothesized members would have increased confidence in their proficiency. Participants attended a 2-hour session with expert faculty. Our session consisted of a pre-test assessment survey, one-hour of didactic lecture, hands-on workshop with an ultrasound simulation machine and live standardized patient, and a post-test assessment survey. Faculty were given the option to return for further self-directed learning with ultrasound simulation machine after the pilot program if desired.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference in pre- and post-survey questions that addressed comfort using ultrasound in clinical setting and critical care setting, comfort in using ultrasound at bedside rounds, comfort teaching medical student and residents, comfort performing FAST (Focused Abdominal Sonogram for Trauma) exam and comfort in doing basic bedside echocardiography. Faculty indicated time, availability of ultrasound equipment to faculty and house staff, and cost of equipment as important barriers to utilization of ultrasound in the clinical setting.
Discussion: Our pilot POCUS course showed improved confidence in ultrasound skills among faculty members. It is important to address barriers such as limited availability of equipment and adequate time preparation for future POCUS curriculums.

Published: May 2023

Introducción: La maternidad es un momento en la vida de las mujeres en el que se necesita especialmente el apoyo del entorno social para mitigar las demandas que requieren el periodo de gestación y el posparto inmediato. Método: En este estudio multicéntrico, la muestra incluye 1524 mujeres embarazadas reclutadas del área obstétrica de dos hospitales españoles de tercer nivel asistencial. Se comparan las respuestas de las mujeres que dicen presentar ideación suicida con aquellas que informan no presentarla, analizando sus respuestas al ítem 9 del Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) y se comparan las diferencias en las distintas dimensiones del PHQ-9 (cognitivo-afectiva, somática y puerperal). Se analiza qué componentes del apoyo social percibido funcionaban como factores predictores de la ideación suicida prenatal, mediante el análisis de sus respuestas en el Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory (PDPI-R). Resultados: Las mujeres con ideación suicida tienen mayor carga cognitiva-afectiva, somática y puerperal, frente a las que no presentan ideación suicida. La falta de apoyo emocional percibido de la pareja o las amistades y la falta de apoyo práctico percibido de la familia son factores que predicen la ideación suicida. Discusión: Es importante proporcionar a las mujeres con apoyo social efectivo para prevenir la ideación suicida.

Authors: Abdelrheem Tarik N. Mohamed , Bendania Ahmed
Published: May 2023

The current study aimed to investigate the development of actively open-minded thinking (AOT) among Saudi College students and its impact on their future time perspective (FTP). The study samples included 1,797 undergraduate students from different majors, and used AOT inventory of (Stanovich & West, 1997) and a short version of Zimbardo FTP inventory. The results showed that there was no development of AOT as illustrated by linear regression among college students depending on the AOT subfactors. However, the FTP results demonstrated that there was development of the present experience (FTP subfactor), as indicated by linear regression according to age in the present experience (FTP subfactor) was increased by age. The findings revealed a difference in the AOT, AOT subfactors, FTP and FTP subfactors in relation to sex, with males showing a higher score compared to females. In addition, the results indicated the interaction of AOT by sex on FTP subfactors (i.e., present vs. future). These findings indicate that AOT does not show developmental change according to age among the study sample. In contrast, some developmental changes occurred in FTP and FTP subfactors according to age.

Published: May 2023

Background. Africa has seen an increase in the number of health research projects being conducted on the continent, particularly clinical trials. Ideally, this should be accompanied by a commensurate improvement in research ethics review capacity to competently provide the much-required research ethics oversight. Unfortunately, this is not the case in many African countries, which are still grappling with weak research ethics oversight capacity, not only at national level but also at institutional level.
Objectives. To describe the proposal by Kenya’s national research ethics regulatory authority, the National Commission for Science Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI), to build the capacity of its National Scientific and Ethics Committee (NSEC), tasked with providing the required research ethics oversight in the country.
Methods. This is the proposal submitted by NACOSTI to the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership for funding of a project entitled ‘Strengthening Research Ethics and Oversight in Kenya’ (STReK). It describes the activities involved to strengthen the NSEC to provide the required research ethics in the country, and to build the research ethics capacity of research ethics committees (RECs) it has accredited, through training and mentorship programmes, to enable them to efficiently review research proposals.
Results. Proposed activities of the project are presented. Implementation of the activities described is ongoing.
Conclusion. Lessons learnt in this regard may be of benefit to other research ethics regulatory authorities in resource-constrained countries aiming to strengthen their research ethics oversight capacity.
Bioethics of childbirth for another (surrogate motherhood) in the Civil Code of Kosovo
Authors: Bahtiri B , Maxhuni Q , Ferizi R
Published: May 2023

Transformations in the biological, medical and legal processes of infertility, substantial modifications in family structure and the advancement of methods and techniques of reproductive technology will affect the next step in both legal and medical terms to address the regulation of bioethics and law in Kosovo. There is a need to establish perspectives in both ethical and professional terms, since the Republic of Kosovo is in the process of drafting a Civil Code. Many of these issues have been raised and addressed during the review and evaluation of family law in the context of harmonisation and inclusion of this law in the Civil Code of the Republic of Kosovo. During the several meetings of official members with different interest groups regarding family law, the need has been raised to regulate family law to be included in the Civil Code for motherhood and fatherhood in the case of reproduction with biomedical assistance, as well as for the birth contract as a donation for another person (so-called surrogate motherhood). These bioethical and legal issues indicate the urgent need for legal harmonisation of a multidimensional platform specifically based on the principles of public health and universal human rights

Conclusion. These bio-ethical and legal interferences indicate the urgent need for legal harmonization of a multidimensional platform specifically designed based on the principles of public health and universal human rights.
Towards a data transfer agreement for the South African research community: The empowerment approach

The idea of a data transfer agreement (DTA) template for the South African (SA) research community is receiving increasing attention. Whiledeveloping such a DTA template is certainly a worthwhile project, questions regarding the project’s practical execution should be addressed,including how to best operationalise the envisioned DTA template, and the content of the envisioned DTA template. It is proposed that anempowerment approach be followed in operationalising the envisioned DTA template, which is contrasted with the regulatory approachfollowed with the material transfer agreement that the Minister of Health promulgated in 2018. While the regulatory approach would entailgovernment making the use of the envisioned DTA template compulsory regardless of the quality of such a template, the empowermentapproach, by contrast, entails a focus on developing a high-quality, professionally drafted DTA template for the SA research community andmaking the use thereof a matter of own choice. Regarding the content of the envisioned DTA template, four hot-button content provisionsare analysed, and it is argued that SA research institutions and researchers should be empowered to: (i) have clarity and legal certaintyregarding their ownership of data, where relevant; (ii) be able to commercialise their research findings without unnecessary contractualconstraints; (iii) avoid falling into the trap of unlawful benefit sharing with research participants; and (iv) be aware that their legal role asresponsible parties, where relevant, cannot be contracted out via a DTA.
Written monuments of historical and cultural heritage of Yakutia: problems of preservation and interpretation

The article is devoted to an important area of scientific research related to the history and culture of Yakutia. Written monuments of historical and cultural heritage, along with material ones, occupy their permanent place. The solution to the problem of their preservation and interpretation is inextricably linked with publishing activities – modern technical capabilities increase its effectiveness. In the article we study the existing experience in this field by the example of the publication of Russian cursive sources of the XVII century about the history of Yakutia, as well as cultural heritage. The object of the study is the historical and cultural heritage of Yakutia. The subject of the study ate the samples in various forms. The research summarized the experience of publishing historical and cultural heritage monuments on the example of Russian cursive documents of the XVII century about Yakutia, as well as the works of the first Yakut composer M.N. Zhirkov. Since they are of great value as samples of archival documents reflecting regional specifics, we have carried out work to determine their historical significance for the culture of Yakutia. In this article, based on an assessment of the internal content of the collections considered as examples and the quality of their publication, recommendations have been developed to improve further work in this direction. Undoubtedly, further work should be continued to identify such written monuments that require special storage and interpretation, have great historical and cultural value for the Yakut people, as well as transfer to modern media of this information, taking into account the necessary publication rules. For the first time, the question of creating a pan-Yakut electronic database of written monuments of historical and cultural heritage of Yakutia was raised.
KVSA VERTAALPRYS / CASA TRANSLATION PRIZE

The primary source that will be used in this translation is The prayer of Jacob chapter 1. The selected text is from Henrichs and Preisendanz 1974:148–149. I will also make reference to the translation of the text in Charlesworth’s Old Testament Greek pseudepigrapha with morphology (1983).1 According to Penner and Heiser (2008), the term pseudepigrapha does not mean ‘false books’ or ‘false writings’, but rather refers to writings that were not written by those whose names appear in them (falsely attributed writings). The Old Testament pseudepigrapha builds on the narratives, themes, and worldview of the canonical books of the Old Testament. This explains why books may be attributed to significant Old Testament figures. This source was selected because it demonstrates dramatically the enduring influence of the Old Testament on Jewish thinking after the exile. The prayer of Jacob is included in collections of Old Testament pseudepi-grapha though it is preserved in only one Greek manuscript (papyrus XXIIb)2 and its original composition dates sometime before the fourth century CE (Charlesworth 1983). However, the meaningless mystical words (voces mystica)3 reflect earlier (first century) Jewish prayers (Van der Horst and Newman 2008:217). Although it is said to be a Jewish prayer from the patriarch Jacob, it is often categorized as a magical incantation belonging to the genre of magical texts. The prayer’s themes and language may reflect influences from the Hebrew Bible, Hellenistic Jewish literature, ancient Jewish prayers, and Greek magical papyri (Reif and Egger-Wenzel 2016:609). In this prayer, the patriarch Jacob summons God and requests wisdom and deification. Is it Jewish or pagan? The prayer mentions that the one who recites this prayer should be from the race of Israel but also refers to the serpent

In this paper, we introduce a new family of sequences called the k-Fibonacci and k-Lucas spinors. Starting with the Binet formulas we present their basic properties, such as Cassini’s identity, Catalan’s identity, d’Ocagne’s identity, Vajda’s identity, and Honsberger’s identity. In addition, we discuss their generating functions. Finally, we obtain sum formulae and relations between k-Fibonacci and k-Lucas spinors.
Ultrafast (400 Hz) network oscillations induced in mouse barrel cortex by optogenetic activation of thalamocortical axons

Published: May 2023

Oscillations of extracellular voltage, reflecting synchronous, rhythmic activity in large populations of neurons, are a ubiquitous feature in the mammalian brain, and are thought to subserve important, if not fully understood roles in normal and abnormal brain function. Oscillations at different frequency bands are hallmarks of specific brain and behavioral states. At the higher end of the spectrum, 150-200 Hz ripples occur in the hippocampus during slow-wave sleep, and ultrafast (400-600 Hz) oscillations arise in the somatosensory cortices of humans and several other mammalian species in response to peripheral nerve stimulation or punctate sensory stimuli. Here we report that brief optogenetic activation of thalamocortical axons, in brain slices from mouse somatosensory (barrel) cortex, elicited in the thalamorecipient layer local field potential (LFP) oscillations which we dubbed “ripplets”. Ripplets originated in the postsynaptic cortical network and consisted of a precisely repeating sequence of 2‑5 negative transients, closely resembling hippocampal ripples but, at ~400 Hz, over twice as fast. Fast-spiking (FS) inhibitory interneurons fired highly synchronous 400 Hz spike bursts entrained to the LFP oscillation, while regular-spiking (RS), excitatory neurons typically fired only 1-2 spikes per ripplet, in antiphase to FS spikes, and received synchronous sequences of alternating excitatory and inhibitory inputs. We suggest that ripplets are an intrinsically generated cortical response to a strong, synchronous thalamocortical volley, and could provide increased bandwidth for encoding and transmitting sensory information. Importantly, optogenetically induced ripplets are a uniquely accessible model system for studying synaptic mechanisms of fast and ultrafast cortical and hippocampal oscillations.
Dorsolateral prefrontal activity supports a cognitive space organization of cognitive control

Cognitive control resolves conflicts between task-relevant and -irrelevant information to enable goal-directed behavior. As conflicts can arise from different sources (e.g., sensory input, internal representations), how a limited set of cognitive control processes can effectively address diverse conflicts remains a major challenge. Based on the cognitive space theory, different conflicts can be parameterized and represented as distinct points in a (low-dimensional) cognitive space, which can then be resolved by a limited set of cognitive control processes working along the dimensions. It leads to a hypothesis that conflicts similar in their sources are also represented similarly in the cognitive space. We designed a task with five types of conflicts that could be conceptually parameterized. Both human performance and fMRI activity patterns in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex support that different types of conflicts are organized based on their similarity, thus suggesting cognitive space as a principle for representing conflicts.
