Sexist jokes don’t appear to increase rape proclivity among men high in hostile sexism: Evidence from two pre-registered direct replications of Thomae and Viki (2013)
Authors: McLatchie Neil , Thomae Manuela
Published: July 2023

Thomae and Viki (2013) reported that increased exposure to sexist humor can increase rape proclivity among men who score high on measures of Hostile Sexism. Here we report two pre-registered direct replications (TotalN = 530) of Study 2 from Thomae and Viki (2013) and assess replicability via (i) statistical significance, (ii) Bayes factors, (iii) a small-telescope approach, and (iv) a mini meta-analysis across the original and replication studies. The original results were not supported by any of the approaches. Combining both the original studies and replications yielded strong evidence in support of the null over the experimental hypothesis (Bayes factor = 0.04). The evidence provided by the current studies therefore suggests sexist jokes do not increase rape proclivity among males high in hostile sexism. We encourage researchers to continue to conduct pre-registered and open research to further understand the potential (lack of) impact of sexist humor in the future.

Authors: Ge Yi , Zhang Wenjia , Li Hu , Xie Zhenjian
Published: July 2023

With the development of science and technology, the energy issue has gradually become a topic of global common exploration. According to the relevant information, this paper designed a distributed new energy system based on the blockchain consensus algorithm. The system took the distributed new energy system as the main body, integrated it with blockchain technology, and finally formed a distributed new energy system based on blockchain consensus algorithm. The feasibility of the system was finally determined after the technical tests of voltage detection, power allocation, information collection, and algorithm security. In order to understand the differences between the performance of this system and the traditional system, this paper has made several performance data comparative analysis tests for this system and the traditional system. The test items included energy conversion utilization rate, energy storage, energy use price, energy cleanliness, energy access rate, energy use, etc. Finally, the relevant data of commercial power consumption and residential power consumption accounting for 30 % and 47 % of the total power consumption were obtained, and the data was used to analyze the source of power access. The proportion of green energy is 10 % and 17 %, respectively. According to a series of operation processes such as design, experiment, and analysis, it was finally determined that the system was feasible and effective.
Feeling fast? Beliefs and performance among high school sprinters
Authors: Lybbert Travis J. , Zheng Geyi
Published: July 2023

Mindset can shape sports performance, but these effects can be difficult to detect empirically. We use data from high school sprinters to explore mindset effects on 100 m finishing times and find that headwinds hamper performance more than can be attributed to the physics of wind resistance alone. These (implied) psychological effects of wind on sprint times are stronger for girls than for boys. Having established the presence of mindset-based slack in physical performance, we then test whether sprint times changed in the wake of Matthew Boling’s record-breaking sprint in 2019 that, after going viral on social media, potentially boosted self-efficacy among high school sprinters. Using 2018 and 2019 high school track meets in California, we observe notable changes in average sprinter performance for certain types of athletes in specific wind conditions after Boling’s race that did not occur in the previous season. These results control for many observable variables, correct for multiple hypothesis testing, and use entropy balancing weights to ensure statistical comparability between the two years. We detect differences in this ‘Boling effect’ based on the predicted racial composition of teams and the predicted race of athletes, which is relevant given the racial angle of coverage of the record-setting run. We posit vicarious self-efficacy as a plausible explanation for these difference-in-differences patterns. Pronounced heterogeneity in these results demonstrates some of the complexities and nuances of mindset effects even in settings where performance is easily quantified. Subtle contextual and salience cues appear to mediate the impact of vicarious self-efficacy beliefs on performance.
Assessing Diversity in Academic Library Book Collections: Diversity Audit Principles and Methods
Authors: Walters William H.
Published: July 2023

Diversity audits reveal the extent to which library collections incorporate the topics, perspectives, authors, characters, and narratives associated with underrepresented or marginalized groups. They can help us evaluate whether the collection is aligned with the user community, pinpoint the specific areas where improvement is needed, establish goals and timelines, measure progress toward those goals, demonstrate that deficiencies in the collection are being addressed, and highlight the need for additional resources. This guide reviews the scholarly and professional literature on diversity audits of academic library book collections. It discusses how concepts such asdiverse groupsanddiverse bookscan be operationalized; describes three methods of conducting the diversity audit – the catalog search method, the checklist method, and the book inspection method; considers various benchmarks or targets that may be adopted; and explains how the results of the analysis can be used to build more diverse library collections. The review concludes by presenting three fundamental questions that explore the limits of the audit methods currently in use, highlight underlying issues that librarians may want to consider, and suggest avenues for further research and discussion.

Este texto, escrito durante a quarentena da pandemia do COVID-19, explora o conhecimento como uma tecnologia de pensar situada que reúne participantes humanos e tecnologias, organismos, dispositivos, etc. Buscamos apresentar um processo que entrelaça mediações entre humanos e tecnologias – referências a autores, artigos, teses, computadores, celulares, encontros pelo Zoom, troca de e-mails, de mensagens pelo WhatsApp, arquivos MSWord e GoogleDocs – no qual, para além de discutir as implicações de designações como paisagem sonora, ecologia acústica, acustemologia, sonoridade e espacialidade sonora, reunimos um conjunto de registros de experiências performadas pelos autores nos seus hábitats em contextos de isolamento social. Essas experiências foram produzidas a partir de um mote disparador: descreverem os lugares que habitam e prestarem atenção aos sons que ouviam antes e depois da chegada do coronavírus. Tais narrativas são apresentadas como um mosaico onde as experiências se singularizam, mas também se entrecruzam, revelando pontos comuns que retomaremos ao final. Entendemos que uma atenção às experiências dos sujeitos pode contribuir para uma arquitetura ampliada, que se reconhece imersa em um mundo animado, que demanda atenção ao que emerge das conexões entre o mundo humano e o mundo material.Palavras-chave: COVID-19, lugares, habitat, sons ao redor, tecnologia de pensar situada.

Este artigo é dedicado a apresentar e percorrer sobre a centralidade que têm os mercados públicos em cidades pequenas e cidades históricas. Sobretudo, porque são equipamentos de referência urbana e vitalidade da cidade, que de forma admirável, com uma permeabilidade de articulação entre espaços públicos abertos e os ambientes cobertos, criam os lugares, a praça, o átrio, os encontros, a troca, enfim, a essência do lugar. Esse espírito, dinamizado pelos espaços semipúblicos, com forte concentração popular, transmite toda a identidade da vida cotidiana, ainda que de forma calma e com contornos de simplicidade. Os mercados públicos ganharam o título de bem cultural e diante desse novo status, viemos denunciar a problemática do panorama de pequenas cidades, que na atualidade, sob pressões do mercado do turismo exploratório, tem desvirtuado as funções originais de alguns desses formidáveis exemplares.Palavras-chave: patrimônio cultural, pequenas cidades, mercado popular, turismo exploratório, espetacularização.

Multimodal Temporal Pattern Discrimination Is Encoded in Visual Cortical Dynamics
Authors: Post Sam , Mol William , Abu-Wishah Omar , Ali Shazia , Rahmatullah Noorhan , Goel Anubhuti
Published: July 2023

Discriminating between temporal features in sensory stimuli is critical to complex behavior and decision-making. However, how sensory cortical circuit mechanisms contribute to discrimination between subsecond temporal components in sensory events is unclear. To elucidate the mechanistic underpinnings of timing in primary visual cortex (V1), we recorded from V1 using two-photon calcium imaging in awake-behaving mice performing a go/no-go discrimination timing task, which was composed of patterns of subsecond audiovisual stimuli. In both conditions, activity during the early stimulus period was temporally coordinated with the preferred stimulus. However, while network activity increased in the preferred condition, network activity was increasingly suppressed in the nonpreferred condition over the stimulus period. Multiple levels of analyses suggest that discrimination between subsecond intervals that are contained in rhythmic patterns can be accomplished by local neural dynamics in V1.
Estradiol Receptors Inhibit Long-Term Potentiation in the Dorsomedial Striatum
Authors: Lewitus Valerie J. , Blackwell Kim T.
Published: July 2023

Estradiol, a female sex hormone and the predominant form of estrogen, has diverse effects throughout the brain including in learning and memory. Estradiol modulates several types of learning that depend on the dorsomedial striatum (DMS), a subregion of the basal ganglia involved in goal-directed learning, cued action-selection, and motor skills. A cellular basis of learning is synaptic plasticity, and the presence of extranuclear estradiol receptors ERα, ERβ, and G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) throughout the DMS suggests that estradiol may influence rapid cellular actions including those involved in plasticity. To test whether estradiol affects synaptic plasticity in the DMS, corticostriatal long-term potentiation (LTP) was induced using theta-burst stimulation (TBS) inex vivobrain slices from intact male and female C57BL/6 mice. Extracellular field recordings showed that female mice in the diestrous stage of the estrous cycle exhibited LTP similar to male mice, while female mice in estrus did not exhibit LTP. Furthermore, antagonists of ERα or GPER rescued LTP in estrous females and agonists of ERα or GPER reduced LTP in diestrous females. In males, activating ERα but not GPER reduced LTP. These results uncover an inhibitory action of estradiol receptors on cellular learning in the DMS and suggest a cellular mechanism underlying the impairment in certain types of DMS-based learning observed in the presence of high estradiol. Because of the dorsal striatum’s role in substance use disorders, these findings may provide a mechanism underlying an estradiol-mediated progression from goal-directed to habitual drug use.
Meningeal P2X7 Signaling Mediates Migraine-Related Intracranial Mechanical Hypersensitivity
Authors: Zhao Jun , Harrison Samantha , Levy Dan
Published: July 2023

Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) is a key pathophysiological event that underlies visual and sensory auras in migraine. CSD is also thought to drive the headache phase in migraine by promoting the activation and mechanical sensitization of trigeminal primary afferent nociceptive neurons that innervate the cranial meninges. The factors underlying meningeal nociception in the wake of CSD remain poorly understood but potentially involve the parenchymal release of algesic mediators and damage-associated molecular patterns, particularly ATP. Here, we explored the role of ATP-P2X purinergic receptor signaling in mediating CSD-evoked meningeal afferent activation and mechanical sensitization. Male rats were subjected to a single CSD episode.In vivo, extracellular single-unit recording was used to measure meningeal afferent ongoing activity changes. Quantitative mechanical stimuli using a servomotor force-controlled stimulator assessed changes in the afferent's mechanosensitivity. Manipulation of meningeal P2X receptors was achieved via local administration of pharmacological agents. Broad-spectrum P2X receptor inhibition, selective blockade of the P2X7 receptor, and its related Pannexin 1 channel suppressed CSD-evoked afferent mechanical sensitization but did not affect the accompanying afferent activation response. Surprisingly, inhibition of the pronociceptive P2X2/3 receptor did not affect the activation or sensitization of meningeal afferents post-CSD. P2X7 signaling underlying afferent mechanosensitization was localized to the meninges and did not affect CSD susceptibility. We propose that meningeal P2X7 and Pannexin 1 signaling, potentially in meningeal macrophages or neutrophils, mediates the mechanical sensitization of meningeal afferents, which contributes to migraine pain by exacerbating the headache during normally innocuous physical activities.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTActivation and sensitization of meningeal afferents play a key role in migraine headache, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, using a rat model of migraine with aura involving cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), we demonstrate that meningeal purinergic P2X7 signaling and its related Pannexin 1 pore, but not nociceptive P2X2/3 receptors, mediate prolonged meningeal afferent sensitization. Additionally, we show that meningeal P2X signaling does not contribute to the increased afferent ongoing activity in the wake of CSD. Our finding points to meningeal P2X7 signaling as a critical mechanism underlying meningeal nociception in migraine, the presence of distinct mechanisms underlying the activation and sensitization of meningeal afferents in migraine, and highlight the need to target both processes for effective migraine therapy.
COVID-19 and adolescent girls’ mental health in Uganda: A panel data analysis

Published: July 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic and associated mitigating measures are expected to aggravate the mental health challenges of adolescents. Poor mental health among young people is of concern in itself but is also known to affect long-term outcomes. Given the global burden of the pandemic, it is particularly concerning that limited empirical evidence currently exists for young women, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the pandemic serves as an additional psychosocial stressor for the already challenging lives that most young women in low-resource contexts experience. This article adds to the existing evidence base by drawing on 3 rounds of panel data (2019–2021) to assess changes in adolescent mental health among 468 young women aged 13–19 years residing in rural to semi-urban villages in Uganda before and during the pandemic. Using fixed effects models, we find increases in symptoms of moderate-to-severe depression as measured by both the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 during the pandemic and accompanying lockdown measures. We also find that adolescent girls who faced a higher COVID-19 burden exhibit stronger declines in mental health. Our findings shed light on the impacts of the pandemic on young women’s mental health in an LMIC context, and suggest the need for age-, gender-, and vulnerability-targeted policies that ensure that the pandemic does not undo current progress toward a more gender equitable world.

(K0.48Na0.52)NbO3-0.03Bi0.5Na0.5ZrO3 (KNNS-0.03BNZ) ceramics were prepared doped with 3 mol% Bi0.5Na0.5ZrO3 (BNZ), and the effect of sintering temperature on dielectric and piezoelectric properties of KNNS-0.03BNZ was also investigated. KNNS-0.03BNZ ceramics at all sintering temperatures exhibit a single perovskite structure, and the change of sintering temperature has no significant effect on the phase composition of KNNS 0.03BNZ ceramics. The Raman shifts of the ν1 and ν5 vibration modes have irregular changes in all sintering temperature ranges, indicating that there are polycrystalline phases coexisting in this region. With the change of sintering temperature, Tc slightly shifts to the high temperature direction, and TR-T slightly shifts to the high temperature direction, dielectric constant εr continuously increases, while dielectric loss tanδ firstly decreasing and then increasing. Thanks to the presence of a small amount of liquid phase in the ceramics sintered at 1160 ℃, piezoelectric coefficient d33 reaches 280 pC/N.

The effect of annealing temperature on the photocatalyst's structural, morphological, photocatalytic and optical properties have been extensively studied. In this work, the Cu-Ni co-doped TiO2 powder was prepared by the sol-gel technique and annealed at temperatures 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C. The structural phase of the Cu-Ni/TiO2 changed from anatase to rutile after the annealing temperature increased from 400°C to 800°C. The anatase phase was found at 400°C and 500°C, the mixed phase at 600 and 700°C, and the rutile phase at 800°C. The specific surface area and band gap of Cu-Ni/TiO2 were decreased with the increment of annealing temperatures from 70.00 to 24.89 m2 /g and 3.36 eV to 3.04 eV, respectively. Meanwhile, as the annealing temperature rises, the average particle size increases from 38.52 to 173.59 nm. The anatase-rutile mixed phase of Cu-Ni/TiO2 annealed at 600°C exhibited the highest photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) with 62.81% MB removal. Experimental results indicated that the annealing temperature could alter the structural, morphological, and optical properties of the Cu-Ni/TiO2, affecting the photocatalytic activity performance.

The sol-gel process was utilized in the production of the ferroelectric material Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3. Barium and strontium acetate were employed as sources for Ba and Sr, respectively, and Ti(IV) isopropoxide was used as a source for Ti. The acetic acid was utilized as a solvent for Ba and Sr acetate, whereas 2-methoxy ethanol was used as a stabilizer for Ti (IV) isopropoxide. The effect of high temperatures on electrical and structural were studied. The FESEM revealed the particle size of all samples with different temperatures. The XRD shows the Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 samples have a tetragonal phase for all temperatures (1000, 1100, 1200˚C). The high temperatures impacted tetragonality and the lattice constant (a, c); the lattice constant decreased at higher temperatures. The ferroelectric sample sintered at 1000 degrees Celsius had dielectric characteristics that were inferior to those of the Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3sample sintered at 1100 and 1200ºC degrees Celsius. When the dielectric constant was graphed as a function of temperature, the Curie temperature appeared to be between (28-32) degrees Celsius.

The human ABC transporter ABCC3 (also known as MRP3) transports a wide spectrum of substrates, including endogenous metabolites and exogenous drugs. Accordingly, it participates in multiple physiological processes and is involved in diverse human diseases such as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, which is caused by the intracellular accumulation of bile acids and estrogens. Here, we report three cryogenic electron microscopy structures of ABCC3: in the apo‐form and in complexed forms bound to either the conjugated sex hormones β‐estradiol 17‐(β‐D‐glucuronide) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. For both hormones, the steroid nuclei that superimpose against each other occupy the hydrophobic center of the transport cavity, whereas the two conjugation groups are separated and fixed by the hydrophilic patches in two transmembrane domains. Structural analysis combined with site‐directed mutagenesis and ATPase activity assays revealed that ABCC3 possesses an amphiphilic substrate‐binding pocket able to hold either conjugated hormone in an asymmetric pattern. These data build on consensus features of the substrate‐binding pocket of MRPs and provide a structural platform for the rational design of inhibitors.

A survey of 146 university lecturers was used to gather data and calculate the contribution of each dimension, and we used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). We discovered that HEIs' sustainability is significantly determined by faculty staff development and rewards, administration, mission, and planning. However, the Curriculum and Research Scholarship sections were the weakest. Cluster 1 HEIs had the highest rate of institutional sustainability development, followed by Cluster 2 and 3, as expected. Cluster variability and patterns are also explored to reveal differences between variables. This paper presents a study of commonalities among several sets of learning outcomes for sustainable development in higher education and examples that might help HEIs choose acceptable learning outcomes for sustainable development. This paper is intended to stimulate conversation and forward-thinking, enriching a much-needed part of sustainability education.

Good Environmental Governance Mainstreaming in Preparation for the Implementation of Carbon Trading in Indonesia
Authors: Faradila Novia , Aqilla Dewi Shafarhunny
Published: July 2023

Climate change is a global problem that is often echoed. Indonesia has an obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 29%-41% in accordance with Indonesia's commitment in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The Government's initiative in reducing Indonesia's greenhouse gas emissions was then demonstrated by issuing Presidential Regulation Number 98 of 2021 which regulates the implementation of carbon economic values carried out through mitigation and adaptation efforts. One of the steps mentioned as mitigation and adaptation efforts is carbon trading. Carbon trading is the answer to the conflicting interests of pursuing a reduction in greenhouse gas emission targets as well as increasing economic growth in Indonesia. This is supported by the existence of several factors that make carbon trading a great potential in Indonesia, including economic factors, environmental factors, and legal factors. This research is a normative juridical research and uses non-interactive qualitative research methods. In this study it was found that using the principles of Good Environmental Governance (GEG) can be a solution for the implementation of carbon trading in Indonesia later. That is by using the GEG principles which include participation, accountability, transparency, rule of law, and effectiveness and efficiency. With the implementation of this principle, the Government should immediately prepare itself carefully. Furthermore, the implementation of GEG needs to be supported by strong political will. Thus, carbon trading can be carried out optimally and bring benefits to all Indonesian people

To carry out lockdown, it requires firmness and a combined security of all parties. Lockdown must also be limited by legal norms such as a presidential decree to avoid arbitrariness by the government. Such understanding is important so that the country can run well.

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el comportamiento y respuesta fisiológica en pastoreo de vacas Brahman en arreglos silvopastoriles con árboles dispersos. El estudio se realizó en Puerto Nare, Antioquia, Colombia. Se tipificaron dos sistemas productivos: un sistema con revestimiento pertinente de sombra con árboles y arbustos discontinuos y un callejón central de árboles (protocolo A) y un sistema control con escasa cubierta de árboles (protocolo B). Cada sistema incluyó a 19 vacas Brahman con sus crías. Se registró menor temperatura ambiental en los potreros del protocolo A (p=0.04) y una frecuencia respiratoria mayor en las vacas del protocolo B (p=0.0001). No hubo diferen-cias en la ingesta de materia seca (p=0.40), pero hubo mayor tiempo dedicado al pastoreo nocturno en las vacas del Protocolo B (p=0.0017). Se concluye que los sistemas silvopastoriles con adecuada oferta de sombra permiten reducir la temperatura ambiente hasta en 2° C, propiciando mayor bienestar y comodidad a bovinos Bos indicus alojados en condiciones de trópico.
