The Spot the Troll Quiz Game Increases Accuracy in Discerning Between Real and Inauthentic Social Media Accounts
Authors: Lees Jeffrey Martin
Published: September 2022

The proliferation of political mis/disinformation on social media has led many scholars to embrace “inoculation” techniques, where individuals are trained to identify the signs of low veracity information prior to exposure. Coordinated information operations frequently spread mis/disinformation through inauthentic or “troll” accounts that appear to be trustworthy members to the targeted polity, as in Russia's attempts to influence the 2016 US presidential election. We experimentally tested the efficacy of inoculation against inauthentic online actors, using the Spot the Troll Quiz, a free, online educational tool that teaches how to spot markers of inauthenticity. Inoculation works in this setting. Across an online US nationally representative sample (N = 2,847), which also oversampled older adults, we find that taking the Spot the Troll Quiz (vs. playing a simple game) significantly increases participants’ accuracy in identifying Trolls among a set of Twitter accounts that are novel to participants. This inoculation also reduces participants’ self-efficacy in identifying inauthentic accounts and reduced the perceived reliability of fake news headlines, although it had no effect on affective polarization. And while accuracy in the novel troll-spotting task is negatively associated with age and Republican party identification, the Quiz is equally effective on older adults and Republicans as it was on younger adults and Democrats. In the field, a convenience set of Twitter users who posted their Spot the Troll Quiz results in the Fall of 2020 (N=505) reduced their rate of retweeting in the period after the Quiz, with no impact on original tweeting.

The findings from interviews and the survey were analysed with reference to the World Bank’s proposals for Viet Nam and changes in Vietnamese legislation. The aim of the research is to explore the extent to which the World Bank, with its global power, and the Vietnamese government, with its dependence on global finance and technical knowledge, have responded to concerns and expectations of Vietnamese people.
Differential expression of RPL27A in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of RPL27A, encoding ribosomal protein L27a, in the primary motor neurons of patients with ALS. RPL27A was also differentially expressed in the skeletal muscle of patients with ALS. RPL27A transcript was present at significantly higher levels in ALS patient motor neurons as compared to control motor neurons. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.
Model Comparison and Parameter Recovery of Two Diffusion Models: Fast-dm and HDDM
Authors: Jiang Yueyi
Published: September 2022

Diffusion models (Ratcliff, 1978) can be used to make inferences about the ongoing cognitive processes in fast binary decision task performance. In recent years, different techniques have been developed to fit the diffusion model to experimental data. The present paper compared the model performance of the two popular methods in estimating parameters of the diffusion model, fast-dm (fast diffusion model) and HDDM (hierarchical drift diffusion model). Our results indicated that fast-dm and HDDM models are systematically different in parameter estimation both at a group level and at an individual level across experimental conditions on the recognition memory task performance. We found that the observed differences of the two model fitting methods were not due to the inconsistency in parameter estimation. In general, fast-dm performed better in model fitting than HDDM. Moreover, our findings support the interpretations of the diffusion model parameters about the ongoing cognitive processes of the recognition memory task performance. These findings can provide a basis in understanding the strengths and limits of the application of diffusion model.
Computational analysis of the Etch-A-Sketch task: a comment on Annand et. al. 2020
Authors: Vanderelst Dieter F , Peremans Herbert
Published: September 2022

Annand 2020 et al. (Human Movement Sciences) presented participants with a novel task setup reminiscent of Etch-A-Sketch, the famous mechanical drawing device. They propose that this setup can be used to probe many different hypotheses of interlimb coordination and motor learning. We agree with this statement. However, we suggest that these authors might not have fully tested each of their hypotheses. Moreover, we argue that the analyses they present are limited. Therefore, we recommend additional and alternative data processing approaches. By suggesting (1) additional analysis methods, (2) pointing out a potential issue with the experimental task, and (3) warning about the use of global error measures, we hope to benefit researchers who wish to adopt this novel task to probe hypotheses about interlimb coordination.

Black-Asian solidarity through collective racial socialization
Authors: Lei Ryan , Frazer-Klotz Zoe , Szanton Lizy
Published: September 2022

In the past few years, incidents of anti-Black and anti-Asian discrimination have proliferated. Some of these incidents have involved perpetrators from other racially minoritized groups. Historically, this has led to increased tensions between racially minoritized groups and inhibited progress towards racial equity for all groups. To foster coalitions between Black and Asian communities instead of repeating historical tensions, the present article suggests that parents might lay the foundation for racial solidarity by engaging in collective racial socialization. Collective racial socialization is a new direction for racial-ethnic socialization that focuses on similarities across groups that are the result of White supremacy. Although there are hurdles to collective racial socialization, it may nonetheless be one way minoritized parents can help create awareness of structural racial inequality.

The study was carried out to establish an EV71 virus culture system on Vero cells in a shake culture system (Wave bioreactor) incorporating microcarriers for the production of hand, foot and mouth (HFM) vaccine caused by the EV71 virus. The results of the investigation of 2 types of microcarriers (Cytodex 1 and Cytodex 3), showed that Cytodex 1 gave better efficiency when culturing Vero cells in suspension conditions. The combination with Cytodex 1 on the Wave bioreactor system gave Vero cell culture efficiency of over 3x106cells/ml. The optimal infectious dose of EV71 virus on Vero cells was determined to be 0.0001 TCID50/ml. The optimisation of EV71 virus culture conditions on the Wave bioreactor system has obtained suitable results for the production of vaccine with virus titres 108TCID50/ml on the fifth day after infection. The procedure of production of EV71 virus on Vero cell in Wave bioreactor system was applicable in vaccine production with virus titres 108 TCID50/ml on the fifth day after infection.

Published: September 2022

Fast-food consumption among children is becoming increasingly worrying as it is associated with unhealthy nutrition and its long-term health effects. This concern is due to signs of obesity among children and numerous other harmful diseases linked to low-nutrition, high-fat, and salt diets. According to Li et al. (2020), children aged 12 to 15 years in Malaysia consume fast food twice a week on average. Different factors influence fast-food intake. These include a rise in advertising, the growing number of fast-food restaurants, and shifting current lifestyles, particularly food selection. Accordingly, this study focuses on fast-food consumption from the Syari'ah point of view. This research adopts the library research, analysed selected documents, and summarised the Syari'ah rulings on fast-food consumption among children. The results show that Syari'ah ruling on fast-food consumption relies on habits of intake, fast-food sources and the side-effects on children, whether they are permissible (mubah), abominable (makruh) or prohibited (haram).

Chronic Bronchial Obstruction and Endothelial Dysfunction: Some Immunological Aspects of Interaction
Authors: Vantiukh N. V. , Lemko O. I. , Reshetar D. V.
Published: September 2022

Abstract. According to modern data, systemic inflammatory process with vascular endothelial dysfunction (ED) is the base of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis whith chronic bronchial obstruction and the formation of comorbidity. Immunological investigations of relationship with severity of ED and risk of fatal cardiovascular events remain actual at COPD, although many studies of their dependence on the severity of COPD have been conducted. The aim of the study is to evaluate the special features of cellular immunity in patients with COPD in relation to the severity of clinical manifestations of the disease (assessed by the COPD Assessment Test –CAT), and the presence of ED. Methods. 141 patients with COPD stage II-III were examined, at the age of 43-72 years, beyond the period of exacerbation and 24 practically healthy persons as a control group for laboratory indices. Cellular immunity was studied by indirect immunofluorescence reaction using monoclonal antibodies. Dependence of cellular immunity on the value of CAT, the level of the ED laboratory marker — endothelin-1 — and the expressiveness of cardiovascular risk (CVR) were analyzed. Results. At the examined patients immune dysfunction was manifested by suppression of T-lymphocytes, disturbances in their subpopulations ratio, increased readiness of lymphocytes to apoptosis and expression of CD54+, which characterizes the adhesive properties of cells. It was also proposed to calculate the adhesion index (CD54+/CD3+), which links the elevation of the lymphocytes adhesive properties with the development of immune dysfunction. It was shown that the severity of the cellular immune system dysfunction is primarily associated with the intensity of clinical manifestations of COPD, assessed by CAT. At the same time, significantly higher endothelin-1 level in COPD patients served as an objective confirmation of ED presence. It was found that the elevation of endothelin-1 level in serum and the increasing in CVR are accompanied by an increased predisposition of lymphocytes’ apoptosis. These changes contribute to increased immune dysfunction and elevation of lymphocytes’ adhesive properties, assessed by the expression of CD54+ and indirectly confirm the participation of cellular immune mechanisms in the development of ED. Conclusions. Patients with COPD demonstrate increased expression of CD54+ on lymphocytes and elevation of the adhesion index CD54+/ CD3+. It characterizes the activation of lymphocytes adhesive properties and their increased readiness for Fas-dependent apoptosis and related immune dysfunction. These results confirm the participation of cellular immune mechanisms in the development of endothelial dysfunction. Key words: chronic bronchial obstruction, cellular immunity, endothelial dysfunction.
MISCARRIAGE: A MODERN VIEW
Authors: Shargorodska E.B. , Melenchuk L.M.
Published: September 2022

The aim of this study is to analyze the risk factors of miscarriage in modern medical literature. A number of adverse factors and possible risk factors of miscarriage in women of child-bearing age, the latest issues of diagnosis and prevention were scrutinized. In Ukraine, the studies of genetic and demographic processes conducted in recent years have shown that the socially determined demographic crisis observed in the country is significantly deepening due to reproductive losses, which are manifested in an increase in the frequency of lost pregnancies and the birth of inferior offspring in women with diseases of the reproductive system. The frequency of miscarriage ranges from 10% to 30% and does not show a downward trend. In these conditions, the preservation of each pregnancy is important for the demographic development of Ukraine and a factor of national security. The physiological effect of the reproductive function in women occurs due to the harmonious functioning of hormonal, morphological, and immunological mechanisms. The achievements of molecular genetics in recent years have supported the suggestion that miscarriage is not only a polyetiological, but also a multifactorial condition. The recent molecular genetic studies have brought much to deeper understanding of the aetiology and pathogenesis of miscarriage. The study of genetic factors that can underlay the occurrence of miscarriage is a promising direction for the prevention of reproductive losses. The demographic crisis in Ukraine and the unfavourable situation in the field of reproductive health of the population require the development and implementation of complex approaches to the diagnosis and prevention of miscarriage that needs further in-depth investigation of the problem. A significant number of existing methods for predicting and diagnosing miscarriage indicates that there is currently no highly effective and specific method, and the main disadvantages of existing methods for predicting miscarriage, according to the studied literature sources, are low specificity and laboriousness. Among the important tasks, there will be assessment of the population-level data on pregnancy loss and the development of strategies of its prevention.
INDEX ASSESSMENT OF PERIODONTAL TISSUES IN PATIENTS WITH GOUT
Authors: Gnid M.R.
Published: September 2022

Periodontal disease is a global public health concern. The presence of accompanying somatic pathology, in particular, rheumatologic, is a significant factor that underlies the course and prognosis of periodontal diseases. Gout is a chronic, progressive disease associated with a purine metabolism disorder that is characterized by an increase in the level of uric acid in the blood, hyperuricemia, and deposits of the sodium salt of uric acid in the tissues of the musculoskeletal system and internal organs

with the further development of acute arthritis and the formation of gouty nodules (tophus). Though gout is considered as well studied diseases, but, nevertheless, its aetiology and pathogenesis are not completely clear. Recent studies have reported a rapid increase in prevalence of gout, especially in young people, early complications, involvement of the cardiovascular system and kidneys in the pathological process. Moreover, patients with gout demonstrate the growth of dental pathology, in particular, periodontal disease. Despite the difference in the causative factors, the commonality of inflammation in the tissues of the periodontium and joints, kidneys, and endothelium in gout is quite natural, since sodium monourate crystals induce a response of a non-specific link of innate immunity, similar to a microbial process. There are a few studies investigating the condition of periodontal tissues in patients with gout. The aim of this work is to perform the index assessment of periodontal tissues in patients with gout. The participants were divided into 2 groups: the main one included 131 patients with gout and periodontal diseases; and the group of comparison was composed of 54 people with periodontal disease without rheumatologic pathology. The age of the participants ranged from 30 to 59 years. In patients with gout, the values ​​of periodontal indices were significantly higher in all age categories, compared to the individuals without rheumatologic pathology. The average value of the PI index in patients with gout corresponded to a severe degree of periodontitis, and was 2.5 times higher than in people without comorbid pathology, who had moderate periodontitis. Over the age of 40, the patients of the main group developed severe periodontitis. The reference value of the PMA index in both examined groups corresponded to the average degree of gingivitis; however, in the patients with gout, this indicator was 1.5 times higher than in the comparison group. Thus, the pathogenetic mechanisms formed in gout, the main of which is hyperuricemia, are determinants of the development and severity of destructive-inflammatory lesions of the periodontium.

This article presents the analysis of surgical interventions on the thyroid gland performed in the clinic from 1973 to 2020, their types and distinct features in different periods of work. A retrospective comparative analysis describes the outcomes of surgical treatment of goitre in the period of resection, subfascial surgery (until 2007) and in current period when using new technologies, precision technique, extrafascial technique for mobilizing the thyroid gland and declining the resection methods. The study allows us to identify factors that contribute to the occurrence of suboperative complications and to determine the ways to prevent the occurrence of the complications. Original techniques and variants of surgical techniques for the prevention and minimization of suboperative iatrogenic lesions of the laryngeal nerves, parathyroid glands and the avoidance of bleeding are highlighted. We offer the measures, which have already been implemented into the practice and have been proven as effective in terms of significant improving the goiter surgical treatment outcomes. The focus is put on the approaches of minimizing specific surgical complications due to the anatomically precise component of performing surgical intervention and providing a bloodless (“dry”) surgical field. The described technique meets oncological requirements, ensures the radical nature of the surgical operation and provides sufficient visual control to avoid the damage to the laryngeal nerves and parathyroid glands. The desirable outcomes are highly dependent on the high qualification and well-coordinated work of all surgical and anaesthetic teams.

The study material included 8 preparations of the palatine and labial salivary glands of adult human individuals fixed in 4% glutaraldehyde solution in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Following pre-fixation, the object was cut into individual slices and fixed in a freshly prepared similar fixator adding 1% calcium chloride solution at 4 °C for 12 hours. The tissue was washed after the fixation and then processed according to the requirements for electron microscopy. Tissues enclosed in epoxy resin were used to obtain semi-thin series of histological sections for further graphic and plastic reconstruction of epithelial components (including tubular) glands. Semi-thin sections were stained with 0.1% toluidine blue in phosphate buffer with different pH (from 5.5 to 8.5). Spiral, corkscrew, tortuous, arched and other forms of biological tubular structures at the microscopic level are no exception and, as our study shows, are natural phenomena along with their rectilinear shape. It can be assumed that the interdependence between the shape of the tubular transport microchannels and the laminar motion of the fluid naturally reflects the elements of curvilinear symmetry and, in particular, its spiral property. Conclusion. Thus, we could assume that the tortuous shape of transport channels of human and animal tissues is a useful stereomorphological device, and their study and three-dimensional modelling is of great scientific interest, in particular, for understanding the mechanism of laminar fluid movement through biological tubes.
Body, Soul and Spirit. Henri de Lubac’s Vision of Tripartite Anthropology
Authors: Persidok Andrzej
Published: September 2022

The article discusses “tripartite anthropology” developed by Henri de Lubac, with particular emphasis on the concept of the “spirit”. The analysis carried out herein aims firstly to reconstruct a coherent anthropological vision from the fragments scattered in various works of this classic 20th-century theologian. Secondly, it aims to show that the vision of “tripartite anthropology” is still a valid response to contemporary attempts to reduce human existence to the body and psyche. In this context, particularly important is the paradoxical nature of the “spirit,” as shown in this study, which is understood as the sphere of human openness to transcendence: it represents both the coping and the center of human nature. Bringing to light this dual role of the “spirit-pneuma” within de Lubac’s theological anthropology is one of the significant results of the analysis presented in the text.

Red chili (Capsicum annum L.)  is a vegetable that has high economic value. However, red chili production has decreased because of seed deterioration, such as expired seeds. Seed invigoration attempts to maintain seed germination ability when it has deteriorated. Extracts of onion and banana weevil can be used for invigoration. The research aimed to know the effect of various natural hormones, soaking time, and interaction of the two treatments of expired red chili seeds on germination, growth, and production. The research used a factorial, completely randomized design (CRD), which consisted of the type of natural hormones for soaking expired red chili seeds, aquadest as a control, onion extract 25%, banana weevil extract 25%, and onion extract 25% + banana weevil 25%; and soaking time for expired red chili seeds, i.e., 4 hours, 8 hours and 12 hours. Based on the result, The effect of soaking expired red chili seeds on natural hormones significantly impacted maximum growth potential, germination, growth rate, and simultaneous growth. Meanwhile, there were no significant effects on the vigor index, plant height, number of leaves, flowering age, harvest age, number of fruits per plant, fresh weight per plant, and fruit length.  In addition, the treatment for a soaking time of expired red chili seeds for up to 12 hours had no significant effect on all observation parameters.

Pakistan ranks among the ten countries worst affected by climate change in the world, and within the country the province of Sindh is one of the hardest-hit regions. Changing trends in temperature and precipitation have increased the frequency and severity of hazards such as flooding, droughts, and heatwaves, among a host of other environmental stresses. The present qualitative study was conducted to scope out the specific ways in which the impacts of climate change are gendered among rural communities in Sindh that have the highest exposure to hazards arising from climate change. The study probed the perceptions and experiences of men and women in a total of five communities in two districts of Sindh, Umerkot and Thatta. The ways climate change is impacting livelihoods in the communities is examined, and the ways vulnerability is deepened is identified, not only from the direct effects of environmental stress and resulting economic loss, but also from the coping measures adopted by affected people and the interactions of these changes with existing gender norms and roles.

Previous research on willingness to communicate (Henceforth WTC) has shown that several teacher factors can affect learners’ WTC. However, the effect of teachers’ perceptions of learners’ WTC on teachers’ communicative and instructional behavior has remained understudied. This study aimed to examine how teachers’ perceptions of learners’ WTC affected the frequency and method of their turn allocations. The in-depth study was conducted with three teachers in Iran over a period of one semester. Qualitative data were obtained from observations, audio and video recordings of classroom interaction, and interviews with teachers. Analysis revealed that teachers gave more voluntary turns to those whom they perceived to have a higher level of WTC. Also, the method of turn allocation was different for such students. These findings are important because they can raise awareness among teachers and enable them to ensure all learners are given opportunities to participate.

Abstract. Purpose of the study is the development and testing of a methodology for calculating the organizational effectiveness of an enterprise taking into account its digital development. Research methods. An overview of existing methods for assessing organizational effectiveness is presented, shortcomings are identified. A methodology for assessing the organizational effectiveness of an enterprise, taking into account its digitalization, has been developed; the methodology has been tested at agro-industrial enterprises. Scientific novelty. The proposed methodology for assessing the organizational effectiveness of an enterprise allows to calculate an integral index of organizational effectiveness, taking into account the correspondence of the actual ratio of the growth of indicators to their location in a dynamic standard, which allows us to assess the degree of compliance of decisions made with the claimed strategy at the level of an individual enterprise and creates an information and analytical base for assessing the organizational effectiveness of the enterprise as a whole. Results. In accordance with the developed methodology, it is assumed to rank a self-generated list of indicators according to the "golden rule of economics", calculate the growth coefficients of indicators for a selected period of time, assign actual ranks based on these data, calculate deviations and inversions of ranks and calculate the Spearman and Kendall rank correlation coefficients, followed by their combination in an integral indicator of organizational effectiveness capable of taking values from 0 to 1. One of the indicators used for calculations is proposed to be the level of digitalization of the enterprise, the method of determining which is also presented in the work. As a result of testing the methodology, it was revealed that for enterprise 1, the integral indicator of organizational effectiveness is 0.80, for enterprise 2 – 0.48, for enterprise 3 – 0.27, for enterprise 4 – 0.63. Of the four selected enterprises, only one has a sufficient level of organizational effectiveness.
