Results of Anti-VEGF Therapy in the Treatment of Post-vitrectomy Vitreous Hemorrhage in Patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Authors: Putiienko O. O.
Published: April 2021

Post-vitrectomy vitreous hemorrhage in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) occurs in up to 75% of cases, and this highlights the need to search for new treatment options. The aim. To analyze the results of anti-VEGF therapy in the treatment of post-vitrectomy vitreous hemorrhage in patients with PDR. Materials and methods. Seventy-eight patients (78 eyes) were examined. Twenty patients (20 eyes) of the control group underwent outpatient ﬂuid gas exchange (OFGE) with 20% gas-air mixture of perﬂuoropropane for the treatment of post-vitrectomy vitreous hemorrhage. The first main group included 28 patients in whom OFGE with the same mixture was supplemented by the injection of Lucentis at a dose of 0.5 mg into the vitreous cavity. The second main group included 30 patients who achieved Eylea at a dose of 2 mg in addition to the OFGE. Results. Within 2 months, no significant difference between groups in achieving vitreous transparency or in vitreous hemorrhage recurrence rate was found. After 6 months, the frequency of vitreous hemorrhage recurrence in the control group was significantly higher (χ2 = 4.27; p = 0.039) than that in the Lucentis group (9 eyes [45%] vs. 3 eyes [10.7%]). When using Eylea in the same period, the recurrence rate was 6.7% (2 eyes) which is significantly lower than 45% (9 eyes) in the control group (χ2 = 4.59; p = 0.032). Conclusions. The effectiveness of treatment of post-vitrectomy vitreous hemorrhage by OFGE with 20% gas-air mixture of perﬂuoropropane within 6 months of observation is 85.5%. The use of Lucentis increases the effectiveness to 92.8% with a recurrence rate of 10.7%, and the use of Eylea to 96.6% with a recurrence rate of 6.7%. There are no significant differences between the use of Lucentis and Eylea. Keywords: proliferative diabetic retinopathy, post-vitrectomy vitreous hemorrhage, outpatient ﬂuid gas exchange, Lucentis, Eylea.

Alexandr Serebrovskiĭ and the Modernization of the Soviet Oil Industry—1924 to 1929
Authors: Sicotte Jonathan
Published: April 2021

Baku, the center of the Russian and then Soviet oil industry, represented the raw economic potential of early Soviet industry. At the head of the industry was Alexandr Serebrovskiĭ, head of Azneft, the largest Soviet oil trust, and a pivotal figure in reviving Soviet oil production across the 1920s. His trip to the United States in 1924 and his subsequent plan to restore Baku’s productive capacity via American technology and methodology would not only improve the industry’s output but allow Azneft to directly compete with American oil companies on the international stage, thus demonstrating the latent potential of the Soviet Union for exportation. However, while this project seemed initially successful, it created a difficult fiscal legacy as Azneft became increasingly financially insolvent across the 1920s.

A formação para docência em administração no Brasil: Os saberes docentes em uma Universidade de Fronteira
Authors: Sobral Rosely Cândida
Published: April 2021

It investigates how teacher training in administration occurs in Brazil and the effects on teaching knowledge mobilized by teachers of a course, in a border context. The question that guides the research is: how is teacher training handled in academic master's programs in Brazil and what are the reflections on teaching knowledge at a border university? Based on the concepts of teacher training and the model of teaching knowledge proposed by Tardif (1991), he analyzes the academic master's programs in administration and offers teacher training courses in his curriculum. Conducts semi-structured interview with 03 management professors from the Unioeste campus in Foz do Iguaçu. It shows that teacher training is built by classroom practice, but that the teaching internship is important in this process. In curricular knowledge there is no look at local frontier issues. It concludes that the formation of the teacher in Administration does not happen in the Master's programs, since the professional and curricular knowledge are not enough for the construction of the pedagogical practice. Even in curricular analysis, there is no concern with frontier knowledge (local knowledge) because this is not valued, neither in the interviews, nor in the political pedagogical projects of the Administration courses, nor in the programs analyzed. The results point to a model of teacher education that considers plural knowledge and that rethinks the importance of teacher education in academic master's programs in administration in Brazil.

Trial by Tabloid: Can Implicit Bias Education Reduce Pretrial Publicity Bias?
Authors: Jones Angela , Wong Kimberly A. , Meyers Courtney , Ruva Christine L
Published: April 2021

The Western District of Washington recently developed an educational video to reduce jurors’ implicit biases. Little is known regarding the effectiveness of this proposed remedy to address a range of implicit biases. The current study tested whether this educational video reduces pretrial publicity (PTP) bias. A total of 330 undergraduate participants were randomly assigned to read PTP or unrelated articles. An average of nine days later, they were randomly assigned to watch the educational video prior to viewing a murder trial. Those exposed to PTP were more likely to convict (OR = 3.20, 95% CI [1.95, 5.25]) and found the defendant more culpable (d = .64, 95% CI [.42, .86]) and less credible (d = -.33, 95% CI [-.55, .11]). The educational video did not reduce PTP bias. A more tailored debiasing strategy may be needed to overcome the biasing effects of PTP. Differences in legal decisions also emerged depending on whether participants completed the second phase in person or online, which has implications for future data collection modes.
Corticosteroids for Severe Coronavirus Disease 2019: High Time for High Dose Clinical Trials?
Authors: Leis A. Arturo , Verheijde Joseph L. , Vig Parminder J.S. , Stokic Dobrivoje S.
Published: April 2021

Over 3 million deaths into the COVID-19 pandemic, low dose corticosteroids are still the chief therapeutic intervention to decrease mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients. However, the persistently high mortality rate (approximately 30%) and the global surge in cases in 2021 associated with new more contagious variants of SARS-CoV-2 underscore the urgent need to evaluate whether the current corticosteroid regimens achieve the best possible outcomes. Our review of clinical, virological, and immunological data suggest that corticosteroids reduce COVID-19 mortality more when initiated in the second or third weeks after symptom onset, after viral infectivity has waned and SARS-CoV-2 immunopathology is maximal. At this time, clinical deterioration is driven by aberrant hyperinflammation. To counteract the hyperinflammation, we present credible arguments that high dose corticosteroids, defined in this Perspective as intravenous (i.v.) methylprednisolone 500-1000 mg/day for 3-7 days or the equivalent doses of other corticosteroids, can be administered with little or no risk of worsening viral replication and with expected benefits that greatly outweigh potential harm. Since the 1970s, the strategy of administering supraphysiologic doses of i.v. methylprednisolone (termed ‘pulse’ therapy) over a short period to enhance therapeutic benefit while decreasing harmful effects has become an accepted standard of care to effectively suppress inflammation in many autoimmune and immune-mediated disorders. It is particularly useful in conditions requiring rapid immunosuppression and anti-inflammatory effect and has recently been used to control inflammation in SARS-CoV-2 related complications, including multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and organizing pneumonia. In aggregate, awareness of the need for more aggressive immunosuppression and lessons learned over a half-century from the successful treatment of various inflammatory disorders, provide a sound scientific and ethics rationale for expeditiously conducting high dose corticosteroid randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

How robust is the p-factor? Using multitrait-multimethod modeling to inform the meaning of general factors of psychopathology in youth
Authors: Watts Ashley L. , Makol Bridget , Palumbo Isabella , De Los Reyes Andres , Olino Thomas M , Latzman Robert D , DeYoung Colin G. , Wood Phillip K , Sher Kenneth J.
Published: April 2021

We used multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) modeling to examine general factors of psychopathology in three samples of youth (Ns = 2119, 303, 592) for whom three informants reported on the youth’s psychopathology (e.g., child, parent, teacher). Empirical support for the p-factor diminished in multi-informant models compared with mono-informant models: the correlation between externalizing and internalizing factors decreased and the general factor in bifactor models essentially reflected externalizing. Widely used MTMM-informed approaches for modeling multi-informant data cannot distinguish between competing interpretations of the patterns of effects we observed, including that the p-factor reflects, in part, evaluative consistency bias or that psychopathology manifests differently across contexts (e.g., home vs. school). Ultimately, support for the p-factor may be stronger in mono-informant designs, although it is does not entirely vanish in multi-informant models. Instead, the general factor of psychopathology in any given mono-informant model likely reflects a complex mix of variances, some substantive and some methodological.
Mental Workload Analysis Associated with Emotional Design in E-learning Contexts: Combining EEG and Eye-Tracking Data
Authors: Wu ChenNan , Liu Yang , Guo Xiang , Ma WeiFeng , Zhu TianShui
Published: April 2021

In this study, we designed an online course mental workload induction experiment, which recorded EEG and Eye-tracking data of participants synchronously, aiming to investigate the association between different online course design principles and multimodal physiological features, and apply machine learning technology to classify mental workload states induced by different design principles. This paper systematically reviews three kinds of EEG and Eye-tracking features used for mental workload classification, compares the accuracy of mental workload classification between single-modal and multimodal features, modifies the mental workload index proposed by Pope et al. to monitor the variation of mental workload in E-learning contexts, and reduces the dimensions of features for more convenient use in daily life. From the results of the experiment, it’s demonstrated that (1) The classification ability of wavelet power features and entropy features are better than that of Eye-tracking in E-learning Contexts. (2) Multimodal physiological data can significantly improve the accuracy of mental workload classification in E-learning contexts, and (3) correlation-based feature selection (CFS) was employed to rank all features in descending order, when the feature dimension is reduced to 30, the optimal average classification accuracy obtained by linear-SVM can reach 88.1%, which greatly reduces the dimensions of feature while maintains a high accuracy. Furthermore, the EEG frequency bands that are highly correlated with mental workload are analyzed and the correlation between different brain areas and mental workload is discussed. All these results lay the foundation for continuous monitoring of participants' mental workload and make it possible to endow computers with the ability of mental workload understanding in E-learning contexts, which will remarkably enhance the learning efficiency and performance of participants during the pandemic.e learning.
A computational model of aesthetic value
Authors: Brielmann Aenne , Dayan Peter
Published: April 2021

People invest precious time and resources on sensory experiences such as watching movies or listening to music. Yet, we still have a poor understanding of how sensory experiences gain aesthetic value. We propose a model of aesthetic value that integrates existing theories with literature on conventional primary and secondary rewards such as food and money. We assume that the states of observers' sensory and cognitive systems adapt to process stimuli effectively in both the present and the future. These system states collectively comprise a probabilistic generative model of stimuli in the environment. Two interlinked components generate value: immediate sensory reward and the change in expected future reward. Immediate sensory reward is taken as the fluency with which a stimulus is processed, quantified by the likelihood of that stimulus given an observer's state. The change in expected future reward is taken as the change in fluency with which likely future stimuli will be processed. It is quantified by the change in the divergence between the observer's system state and the distribution of stimuli that the observer expects to see over the long term.Simulations show that a simple version of the model can account for empirical data on the effects of exposure, complexity, and symmetry on aesthetic value judgments. Taken together, our model melds processing fluency theories (immediate reward) and learning theories (change in expected future reward). Its application offers insight as to how the interplay of immediate processing fluency and learning gives rise to aesthetic value judgments.
Shame on me for needing you: A multistudy examination of links between receiving interpersonal emotion regulation and experiencing shame

Published: April 2021

Recent theory and research have drawn attention to interpersonal dimensions of emotion regulation. Yet, few empirical investigations of the outcomes of interpersonal emotion regulation have been conducted. We propose that one negative affective outcome of received interpersonal emotion regulation of conceptual and practical interest is shame. In the present series of studies, participants from six, disparate samples reported on experiences of receiving interpersonal emotion regulation using autobiographical recall and ecological sampling paradigms (total analyzed n = 1868; total analyzed k = 2515 instances of receiving interpersonal emotion regulation). We sought to quantify the frequency and distinctiveness of shame as an outcome of receiving interpersonal emotion regulation. We used an exploratory-confirmatory approach to identify robust and generalizable correlates of shame. We considered individual (e.g., trait external shame-proneness), situational (e.g., desire for regulation), relational (e.g., perceived closeness with the provider) and interaction-specific (e.g., perceptions of provider hostility) variables. Our results indicate that it is not uncommon for people to experience receiving interpersonal emotion regulation as shame-inducing, and these perceptions are distinct from their evaluations of the overall helpfulness of the interaction. An internal mini meta-analysis showed that the strongest correlates of shame across studies and samples were individual differences in nonacceptance of negative emotions and expressive suppression and interaction-specific ratings of provider responsiveness and hostility. We discuss the conceptual, methodological, and practical implications of these findings for studying interpersonal emotion regulation and shame.

Traditional ways of teaching were challenged by differentiated instruction which aims to embrace students’ variance. Teachers are expected to maximize the learning opportunities by meeting the diverse needs of their learners. English teachers in Omani schools are trained and instructed to modify the content to meet students’ different levels; however, teachers in higher education institutions are given more freedom in planning and conducting their classes. This research investigated teachers’ perceptions of differentiated instruction which is customised to meet the diversity of learning needs and interests of English as foreign language students in the University of Technology and Applied Sciences-Rustaq (UTAS-Rustaq). The study also sought to identify practices teachers follow to implement differentiated instruction. An exploratory, descriptive analysis and a survey were employed to obtain the necessary data, which indicated that teachers are aware of differentiating instruction and the related practices. Teachers also showed a good understanding of the type of knowledge needed to obtain before implementing differentiation and the assessment tools to attain them. However, the results also indicate an essential need for structural support, professional development, to meet the challenges identified by teachers to maintain the continuity of these practices.

Research has shown that parallel corpora have potential benefits for translator training and education. Most of the current available Arabic corpora, modern standard or dialectical, are monolingual in nature and there is an apparent lack in the Arabic-English parallel corpora for translation classroom. The present study was aimed to investigate the translation problems encountered by Omani translation major students when translating from Arabic into English with a view to proposing some corpus-informed pedagogy approach for training student translators to overcome these challenges by looking at some model samples of professional translation. Thirty students voluntarily took part in the investigation. The study adopted a combination of both corpus and qualitative methodology whereby some typical problems students would encounter when translating from Arabic-into-English were selected along with some specific Arabic texts involving these problems were prepared and the participants were asked to translate them into English. The participants were provided with some samples of the parallel English translated texts and were asked to compare and contrast their translations with these samples and reflect on the overall experience. They were then interviewed to explore their impressions about and the extent to which they think that parallel corpora would help them improve their translation. Results of data analysis indicated that the participants experienced several translation challenges. They, however, showed an overall positive attitude towards parallel Arabic-English corpora as they reportedly found them very helpful in improving their translation. Pedagogical implications for corpus-informed translation teaching, training and materials design and development are presented and discussed.
Multiple environmental exposures along daily mobility paths and depressive symptoms: a smartphone-based tracking study
Authors: Roberts Hannah , Helbich Marco
Published: April 2021

Few studies go beyond the residential environment in assessments of the environment-mental health association, despite multiple environments being encountered in daily life. This study investigated 1) the associations between multiple environmental exposures and depressive symptoms, both in the residential environment and along the daily mobility path, 2) examined differences in the strength of associations between residential- and mobility-based models, and 3) explored sex as a moderator.Depressive symptoms of 393 randomly sampled adults aged 18-65 were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Respondents were tracked via global positioning systems- (GPS) enabled smartphones for up to 7 days. Exposure to green space (normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)), blue space, noise (Lden) and air pollution (particulate matter (PM2.5)) within 50m and 100m of each residential address and GPS point was computed. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted separately for the residential- and mobility-based exposures. Wald tests were used to assess if the coefficients differed across models. Interaction terms were entered in fully adjusted models to determine if associations varied by sex.A significant negative relationship between green space and depressive symptoms was found in the fully adjusted residential- and mobility-based models using the 50m buffer. No significant differences were observed in coefficients across models. None of the interaction terms were significant.Our results suggest that exposure to green space in the immediate environment, both at home and along the daily mobility path, is associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms. Further research is required to establish the utility of dynamic approaches to exposure assessment in studies on the environment and mental health.
Inventing ‘infrastructure’: tracing the etymological blueprint of an omnipresent sociotechnical metaphor
Authors: Tribillon Justinien
Published: April 2021

This article proposes an archaeology of the concept of ‘infrastructure’, focusing specifically on a period ranging from 1842 until 1951, before the term entered the English language from French. In doing so, it contributes to an ongoing discussion on ‘What does infrastructure really mean?’ by deconstructing the omnipresent concept of ‘infrastructure’ as an expression of modernity that has crystallised a sociotechnical imaginary: a relation between technology, space and power. Indeed, our understanding of its etymological, epistemological and intellectual origins is patchy, based on repeated chronological mistakes and conceptual misunderstandings. To put it bluntly: we do not know how the word came to be. By unearthing the origins of ‘infrastructure’, this article aims to contribute to scholarly debates on the definition(s) of infrastructure in social sciences, urban studies, science and technology studies and infrastructure studies. It also wishes to contribute to ongoing debates taking place in the public sphere regarding what should count as ‘infrastructure’. This paper’s findings demonstrate a clear relation to Karl Marx’s ‘historical materialism’; the paper also analyses how the word evolved over a short period of time to become sociotechnical metaphor; finally, the paper demonstrates the emergence of a concept that linked engineering to larger socioeconomic concerns in the 1890s, well before the emergence of ‘infrastructure’ as a key concept of development economics in the 1950s.
The Need for Translation in the Globalized World English Arabic Contact in the Algerian Academic Context
Authors: BENMOKHTARI Hicham
Published: April 2021

The neck-breaking changes imposed by the process of globalization demand a reconsideration of the mundane scholarly dealings. The constant need for communication in a scientific area to keep pace with the continuing advancements and the newly published research works, mainly in the Speech-language Pathology branch, pushes the researcher to look for the appropriate tools which bridge the gap and ease the task. The researcher tries to find out how translation can bridge the gap between the technological improvements, anglicized data, and the actual context in which the Algerian students and teachers work? This research paper aims, thus, at researching the significance of translation from English to Arabic in an Algerian academic context (at the University of Oran 2). To reach the predetermined objective, the researcher uses of descriptive case study research in which a students’ questionnaire, a teachers’ interview, and program analysis are used. The findings show that a total absence of both the English language and translation in such a scientific discipline widens the gap between the requirements of the age and the actual practice enormously. A set of recommendations, including insertion of a specialized translation module, are suggested to help both the teachers and the students in this department.
