Authors: Myung Jinwoo , Kwon Young-Sil , Hyun Myoung-Ho , Lee Seo Jeong
Published: January 2024

Objective Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) scars are common in individuals with NSSI experiences. However, little is known about NSSI scars because related tools are limited. This study aimed to develop and validate the Korean version of the multidimensional Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Scar Scale (K-NSSI-ScarS), consisting of three components: NSSI scar measurement, NSSI scar cognition, and NSSI scar concealment.Methods A total of 333 Korean adults with at least one NSSI scar and history of NSSI within the last 5 years (age: 18 to 39 years) completed the online survey. We conducted exploratory (n=133) and confirmatory (n=200) factor analyses of NSSI scar cognition. To measure the internal consistency of each subfactor of the scar cognition and scar concealment components, we used Cronbach’s α. Kappa and intraclass correlation coefficients were used to measure the test-retest reliability of the entire scale. We also assessed the convergent and construct validity of the K-NSSI-ScarS.Results Factor analyses showed a 5-factor structure consisting of 23 items. Internal consistencies and test-retest reliability were excellent. The moderate correlation between the five subfactors of NSSI scar cognition and related concepts (e.g., acquired capability of suicide) confirmed the convergent validity. Lastly, moderate correlations were found between NSSI scar concealment, self-concealment, NSSI scar measurement information, and the five subfactors of NSSI scar cognition.Conclusion The results verify the psychometric properties and support the necessity of a multidimensional NSSI scar scale.

Authors: Rodríguez-Fuentes Sahiril Fernanda , Ferrara-Bello Carlos Andrés , Tecpoyotl-Torres Margarita
Published: January 2024

En este artículo se presenta el diseño, modelado, fabricación y pruebas de un cosechador de energía proveniente de vibraciones mecánicas, basado en un material piezoeléctrico. Este dispositivo trabaja bajo el principio de transducción piezoeléctrica, es decir que, al deformarse mecánicamente, debido a las vibraciones genera energía eléctrica. El material piezoeléctrico usado en la fabricación fue Zirconato Titanato de Plomo (PZT), y latón como base estructural. Además, se realizaron modelos de elemento finito para predecir la frecuencia del primer modo de vibración del dispositivo, y arreglos experimentales para su validación. La frecuencia de resonancia del modelo numérico y la obtenida experimentalmente (19 Hz) muestran una desviación de 5.03% respectivamente. La potencia generada es de 0.202 mW suficiente para alimentar dispositivos de bajo consumo, tales como calculadoras básicas, relojes de pulsera y transistores, entre otros.
Gestión segura de la batería de EVs utilizando aprendizaje por refuerzo
Authors: Trimboli Maximiliano , Antonelli Nicolás , Avila Luis , de Paula Mariano
Published: January 2024

Las baterías de iones de litio son el dispositivo de alimentación estándar de los vehículos eléctricos (EVs) como alternativa de elección para reducir las emisiones de CO2. Pero antes de convertirse en una tecnología fiable, las baterías de iones de litio deben hacer frente a dos grandes retos: las reacciones electroquímicas indeseables debidas a tasas de carga excesivas y el tiempo considerable que tarda un EV en cargarse. Por tanto, es necesario emplear perfiles de corriente equilibrados que eviten tanto los graves efectos de degradación de la batería como las molestias a los usuarios finales. En este trabajo, los autores proponen un enfoque de aprendizaje profundo por refuerzo de exploración segura (SDRL) para determinar los perfiles de carga óptimos en condiciones de funcionamiento variables. Una de las principales ventajas de las técnicas de RL es que pueden aprender de la interacción con el sistema simulado o real incorporando la no linealidad y la incertidumbre derivadas de las condiciones ambientales fluctuantes. Sin embargo, como las técnicas RL tienen que explorar estados indeseables antes de obtener una política óptima, no ofrecen garantías de seguridad. El enfoque propuesto pretende mantener cero violaciones de las restricciones a lo largo de todo el proceso de aprendizaje incorporando una capa de seguridad que corrige la acción si es probable que se viole una restricción. El método propuesto se prueba en el circuito equivalente de una batería de iones de litio considerando condiciones de variabilidad. Los primeros resultados muestran que SDRL es capaz de encontrar políticas de carga optimizadas y seguras teniendo en cuenta un compromiso entre la velocidad de carga y la vida útil de la batería.

Uno de los principales desafíos a los que se enfrentan las instituciones de educación superior, como la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), con relación a la evaluación docente, es la diversidad de plataformas utilizadas para diferentes convocatorias y, con ello, la dispersión de los requisitos y elementos solicitados para participar en dichos procesos. La falta de estandarización de los criterios y formatos requeridos dificulta el proceso de evaluación y genera una duplicidad de esfuerzos por parte de los docentes, quienes deben lidiar con la carga de subir sus evidencias a múltiples plataformas. Este trabajo propone, en esta etapa, el diseño y modelado de una plataforma que funcione como gestor de evidencias digitalizadas, que permita reducir el tiempo para organizar la información de las evidencias, así como sus comprobables. El modelo propuesto consideró el análisis de los instrumentos de evaluación docente utilizados en la BUAP, para otorgar la definitividad, conceder la recontratación, evaluar el ingreso al padrón de investigadores de la Vicerrectoría de Investigación y Estudios de Posgrado, el otorgamiento del Reconocimiento de Perfil Deseable otorgado por la Secretaría de Educación Pública y el ingreso/permanencia al Sistema Nacional de Investigadoras e Investigadores. El diseño y modelo obtenido permitirá, en etapas posteriores, implementar un gestor de evidencias académicas que requiera a los docentes digitalizar y subir todas sus evidencias en una única ocasión, evitando la duplicidad de esfuerzos y facilitando la organización y filtrado de evidencias.

Women in the Middle of the Wild Life in the East Sumatra Plantation 1880-1940
Authors: Elvira Maiza , Molina Fatima Gay J. , Van der Veer Anne
Published: January 2024

Since the enactment of the Koeli Ordonantie in 1880 by the Dutch colonial government, large plantations on the east coast of Sumatra began to open up opportunities for Javanese and Chinese women to be employed as laborers. There are also those who follow their husbands to work on plantations. The planters took advantage of the presence of women on the plantations to create entertainment for the male workers, because at that time many coolies ran away from the plantations, due to the heavy workload. The easy flow of money makes unpaired female workers take advantage of opportunities. They choose dual jobs as laborers during the day, and prostitutes at night. The impact is the spread of various disease outbreaks, one of which is venereal disease. In the context of social history, this research uses archives as its methodology. The archives come from Koloniaal Verslag, Verslagvoor Geneeskundige, Verslag van den Dienst van Arbeidinspectie, Tijdscriftvoor Geneeskundige, reports from Deli Planter Vereneging and Memorie van Overgave, and other support books

Authors: Fitria Mailiza
Published: January 2024

Berbagai persoalan telah dihadapi umat Islam di era kontemporer ini yang butuh solusi cepat bagaimana hukumnya. Salah satunya adalah operasi plastik dengan semua variannya, termasuk operasi selaput dara. Permasalahan ini telah menjadi topik pembahasan yang cukup hangat dan menggelitik, karena berkaitan erat dengan agama, sosial, budaya, dan dengan gaya hidup masyarakat modern. Sementara di lain pihak, hal ini tidak dikaji secara eksplisit oleh ulama-ulama klasik terdahulu yang terbukti dengan tidak ditemukan pembahasannya di dalam kitab-kitab karya mereka. Penelitian ini membahas seputar operasi plastik dan salah satu variannya yaitu operasi selaput dara dengan pertimbangan kebutuhan atau keinginan ditinjau dari perspektif  hukum Islam. Sehingga diharapkan nantinya mampu memberikan solusi konkrit terhadap permasalahan tersebut. Peneliti menggunakan metode  penelitian pustaka (library research) dengan teknik analisis deskriptif dengan sumber data berasal dari  berbagai sumber data. Hasil dari penelitian ini bahwa  operasi plastik dan selaput dara berdasarkan tujuan prosedurnya, yaitu kalau untuk pengobatan yang bersifat darurat ( dharurah ) dan kebutuhan mendesak (hajjiyah), maka diperbolehkan dengan berbagai pertimbangan hukum Syari’at. Sedangkan kalau bertujuan hanya sekedar untuk kecantikan/estetik, maka hukum Islam memandang ini adalah hal yang dilarang sehingga perbuatannya haram hukum melakukanya.

 

Various problems have been faced by Muslims in this contemporary era that need a quick solution to the law. And one of them is plastic surgery with all its variants, including hymen surgery. This problem has become a topic of discussion that is quite warm and intriguing, because it is closely related to the sociological aspects of society, coupled with the lifestyle of modern society. Meanwhile, on the other hand, this was not studied explicitly by earlier classical scholars, as evidenced by the absence of discussion in their books. This study discusses plastic surgery and one of its variants, namely hymen surgery with consideration of needs or desires from the perspective of Islamic law. So that it is hoped that later it will be able to provide concrete solutions to these problems. Researchers used library research methods with descriptive analysis techniques with data sources derived from various sources. The results of this study are that plastic surgery and hymen are based on the purpose of the procedure, namely if it is for treatment that is emergency (dharurah) and urgent needs (hajjiyah), then it is permissible with various considerations of Shari'a law. Meanwhile, if the aim is just for beauty/aesthetics, then Islamic law views this as something that is prohibited so that the act is considered unlawful

Published: January 2024

Forage plays a vital role because it contains substances needed by livestock that can be used for energy metabolism and to support reproduction. Odot grass is very potent and is one of the varieties of elephant grass that grows not too high so that it can be used as shepherd grass. This study aims to see the effect of sheep dung fertilizer application on plant height, number of leaves and leaf area of Odot grass. This study was an experimental trial designed based on a completely randomized design (RAL), with five treatments and four replications: P0 (without sheep dung), P1 (125 gr/hole), P2 (250 gr/hole), P3 (375 gr/hole), and P4 (500 gr/hole). The results showed that the number of sheep dung did not have a significant effect on all research parameters (height, leaves, and leaf area on Odot grass plants); this was most likely caused by the nutrient conditions of the soil where the research was still relatively extensive and met the needs for the growth of Odot grass, so it was not seen the effect of sheep dung on the growth phase of Odot grass (age 0-60 days).

Assessing Large Language Models in Mechanical Engineering Education: A Study on Mechanics-Focused Conceptual Understanding
Authors: Hou Jixin
Published: January 2024

This study is a pioneering endeavor to investigate the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in addressing conceptual questions within the domain of mechanical engineering with a focus on mechanics. Our examination involves a manually crafted exam encompassing 126 multiple-choice questions, spanning various aspects of mechanics courses, including Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Vibration, Engineering Statics and Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Theory of Elasticity, and Continuum Mechanics. Three LLMs, including ChatGPT (GPT-3.5), ChatGPT (GPT-4), and Claude (Claude-2.1), were subjected to evaluation against engineering faculties and students with/without mechanical engineering background. The findings reveal GPT-4’s superior performance over the other two LLMs and human cohorts in answering questions across various mechanics topics, except for Continuum Mechanics. This signals the potential future improvements for GPT models in handling symbolic calculations and tensor analyses. The performances of LLMs were all significantly improved with explanations prompted prior to direct responses, underscoring the crucial role of prompt engineering. Interestingly, GPT-3.5 demonstrates improved performance with prompts covering a broader domain, while GPT-4 excels with prompts focusing on specific subjects. Finally, GPT-4 exhibits notable advancements in mitigating input bias, as evidenced by guessing preferences for humans. This study unveils the substantial potential of LLMs as highly knowledgeable assistants in both mechanical pedagogy and scientific research.
Interpersonal physiological synchrony during dyadic joint actions is increased by task novelty and reduced by social anxiety
Authors: Boukarras Sarah , Placidi Valerio , Rossano Federico , Era Vanessa , Aglioti Salvatore Maria , Candidi Matteo
Published: January 2024

Interpersonal Physiological Synchrony (IPS) refers to the temporal coordination of autonomic states during social interactions. Despite the potential importance of IPS in modulating social functions, a clear understanding of its functional role and the contextual and individual factors that may promote or hinder its emergency, is missing. In the present study, we recorded the cardiac activity of dyads engaged in a cooperative joint action task and measured the degree of IPS occurring during the task. To investigate the role played by contextual factors in the emergence of IPS, we engaged participants in different versions of the task (peer-to-peer vs. leader-follower, complementary vs imitative movements). We explored whether switching compared to repeating the same task version would affect IPS and assessed the influence of dyad members’ social anxiety and perspective-taking abilities on IPS. Our results revealed a significant increase in IPS and a decrease in perceived performance, interaction easiness/pleasantness, and feeling of alignment when participants switched to a new version of the task (i.e., during switch blocks) compared to repeating the same. Task switching was also characterised by an increase in heart rate variability. Social Anxiety negatively predicted IPS, indicating that more socially anxious dyads were less likely to become physiologically aligned. No relationship was observed between IPS and task performance. Overall, this work indicates that IPS increases when the dyad faces the challenges of learning together a new task and that both contextual and individual aspects contribute to its emergence.
Mass Emigration and the Erosion of Liberal Democracy
Authors: Auer Daniel , Schaub Max
Published: January 2024

In many regions of the world, liberal politics is on the retreat. This development is usually explained with reference to inherently political phenomena. We propose an alternative explanation, linking democratic backsliding to deep-reaching demographic change caused by mass emigration. We argue that because migrants tend to be more politically liberal, their departure, if quantitatively significant, can hurt liberal democracy. Empirically, we focus on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Since 2004, the region has lost about 9 percent of its population due to migration to Western Europe. Drawing on data from 430,000 individuals and a panel analysis, we show that CEE migrants systematically hold more liberal values than non-migrants, and that their exit went along with a deterioration of democracy in their home countries. Further analyses show that the mechanism we describe generalizes to various other world regions. Mass emigration may pose a challenge to democratic development in migrant-sending countries around the globe.

Keywords included: orthopedics,”, “3d printing”, “congenital”, “malformations”, “defects” and “treatment”. A total of 29 articles were suitable for the subject matter and included for this review.Results and Discussion: 3D printing allows a better surgical planning in the orthopedic field as it can be used as a surgical guide or for creating custom 3D-printed tools, devices, patient-specific prostheses, and implants. Also, complex limb malformations can be modeled, and further 3D printed to accurately understand, study, and plan a surgical approach. Scaffold and bio-ink for 3D bioprinters can also be capable of developing bone and cartilage suitable for complex orthopedic and pediatric remodeling. Conclusion: 3D printing in orthopedics and musculoskeletal birth defects is an important and innovative subject, as it allows to make better surgical approaches and supply the structural function of the original malformed tissue.

Background: The ClozaGene Study is a nation-wide cohort of adults who have been treated with clozapine. While clozapine is indicated in the management of treatment-resistant schizophrenia, it is associated with a considerable adverse drug reaction (ADR) burden, and not all patients achieve adequate symptomatic response. Aims: This retrospective cohort study aimed to examine the environmental and genetic factors that influence response to clozapine treatment and the risk of experiencing ADRs. Method: A total of 1,021 participants (41.0% female; aged 46.2 ± 10.6 years [range 18–66]) were recruited via a mail-out based on prescriptions for clozapine. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire. A total of 771 (75.5%) participants provided a saliva sample for genotyping and 781 (76.5%) consented to a review of their pathology test records.Results: Most participants (90.1%, n=912) were living with schizophrenia while 41.5% reported a lifetime diagnosis of depression, 15.6% bipolar disorder, and 8.1% schizoaffective disorder. Clozapine was currently prescribed to 944 (92.5%) participants and 41.4% of participants were currently prescribed one or more antipsychotic medications. Nearly three quarters of participants living with schizophrenia reported that clozapine helped control their schizophrenia symptoms moderately to very well. The most commonly reported ADRs were sialorrhea (80.5%), weight gain (71.2%), constipation (57.1%), and sedation (52.9%).Conclusions: Our findings highlight the high rate of psychotic and metabolic symptoms and ADRs among adults prescribed clozapine in the general Australian population. Future genomic analyses focus on identifying genetic variants influencing clozapine treatment response and side-effects.

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the second-most prevalent cancer diagnosis worldwide among males. Although prostate cancer affects the physical, sexual, and mental health of patients, the impact of prostate cancer on partners has also been increasingly recognized. Hence, taking a dyadic approach is of relevance. Moreover, there is evidence of the utility of dyadic approaches to the study of relational stress that chronicdiseases such as prostate cancer can bring to couples, even though knowledge is sparse about prostate cancer.Objectives: This scoping review aimed to map existing dyadic studies on the psychosocial adaptation of couples to prostate cancer.Methods: A systematic search of studies published from 2005 to November 2022 was conducted on electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EBSCOHost, Scopus, and Web of Science) following PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Metaanalyses–Extension for Scoping Reviews).Results: The review included 25 eligible studies from the initial 2514 articles retrieved. Overall, the results emphasized the interdependency between couple members and suggested how partners’ adaptation influences patients’ adaptation to prostate cancer and vice versa, regarding several psychosocial dimensions (eg, intimacy, quality of life).Conclusions: This work can bring awareness to health care professionals to adopt a couples approach when managing prostate cancer whenever there is a partner, due to these interdependent influences. For researchers and future studies, this work can strengthen the relevance of dyadic approaches on how couples adapt to prostate cancer and explore which other dimensions influence these complex dynamics.
‘But daddy, I love them!’: Changing norms in dating practices among UK migrant communities

This paper explores how individual beliefs around three dimensions of social norms (commonness, morality, and parental expectations) predict dating behaviours in the two largest UK migrant populations: South Asians and Polish. We expected all three dimensions of norms to predict behaviour in both samples and wanted to explore the relative contribution of each predictor. We collected a survey among 137 South Asian and 75 Polish migrants through Prolific UK. Participants were asked to rate their beliefs about how 1) common, 2) immoral, and 3) how much their parents would approve of various dating behaviours (e.g., casual dating, homosexual relationships, premarital sex), as well as 4) how likely they are to perform these behaviours themselves. In both samples, the effects of moral beliefs on likelihood of behaviour were not significant when commonness and parental approval were accounted for. Perceived commonness has a stronger effect on predicted behaviour in the South Asian sample compared to the Polish sample. These findings indicate that everyday behaviour may be better predicted by individuals’ beliefs of what is socially desirable compared to personal moral beliefs. This has implications for understanding what factors determine why humans adopt new norms, which can aggregate into cultural change processes.
Partnering with Current and Former Foster Youth: Current Practices and Future Directions

Published: January 2024

Young people with foster care experience are often asked to provide input on policy, legislative, and research decisions at various levels of the child welfare system, indicating a shift toward centering lived experiences of service users in decision-making processes. Although vital to ethical work, current youth-adult partnership practices in the child welfare system often inappropriately engage individuals with lived experience. We highlight common values, attitudes, and practices within the child welfare system that may impede collaborative, meaningful, and effective partnerships with system-involved youth and young adults and describe subsequent harms that can occur as a result of these interactions. Finally, we provide several recommendations aimed at increasing authentic engagement and collaboration with young people with lived foster care experience.

Background The Psychological Science Accelerator (PSA) recently completed a large-scale moral psychology study using translated versions of the Oxford Utilitarianism Scale (OUS). However, the translated versions have no validity evidence. Objective The study investigated the structural validity evidence of the OUS across 15 translated versions and produced version-specific validity reports. Methods We analyzed OUS data from the PSA, which was collected internationally on a centralized online questionnaire. We also collected qualitative feedback from experts for each translated version. Results For each version, we produced version-specific psychometric reports which include the following: a) Descriptive item and demographics analyses; b) Factor structure evidence using confirmatory factor analyses; c) Measurement invariance testing across languages using multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses and alignment optimization; and d) Reliability analyses using coefficients alpha and omega.
Consensus in social judgments of faces across world regions is driven by effects of distinctiveness on perceptions of prosociality, rather than effects of masculinity

Social judgments of faces influence important social outcomes. Although many researchers have argued that facial masculinity plays a key role in perceptions of prosociality and dominance, whether these effects are consistent among people from different world regions is highly contentious. Consequently, we investigated possible relationships between masculinity and face ratings made by 11,484 participants from eleven world regions (Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Central America and Mexico, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Scandinavia, South America, United Kingdom, United States and Canada, Western Europe). Surprisingly, masculinity did not significantly predict perceived prosociality or dominance in any regions. By contrast, facial distinctiveness (i.e., atypicality) was significantly and negatively correlated with prosocial perceptions in all regions. Collectively, our results suggest that consensus in social judgments of faces among people from different world regions is driven by the effects of distinctiveness on prosocial perceptions (i.e., an “anomalous-is-bad” stereotype), rather than the effects of masculinity.
