Authors: Febri Suri Purnama , Syafi`i Adnan , Haser Teuku Fadlon , Khairi Ikhsanul
Published: January 2025

Vanname shrimp is one of the commodity products that have high economic value in Indonesia and abroad. This study aims to determine the right time to give rice bran fermentation in improving the quality and growth of vannamei shrimp. The study used an experimental method with 4 treatments that were repeated as many as 3 replicates. The treatments tested were P1 giving bran fermentation on day 0 before stocking, P2 giving bran fermentation on day 10 after stocking, P3 giving bran fermentation on day 20 after stocking, and P4 giving bran fermentation on day 30 after stocking. The results of the treatment showed a significant effect on absolute length growth, absolute weight growth, and daily growth rate. Meanwhile, survival and feed conversion ratio did not have significant differences, as well as water quality. In general, water quality was not affected by the treatments given. The highest absolute length growth was produced in the P3 of 4.1 ± 0.01cm, while the lowest absolute length growth was obtained in the P1 with a result of 3.6 ± 0.0. The highest absolute weight growth was obtained in the P3 with the results of 2.61 ± 0.01gr, while the lowest absolute weight growth was produced in the P1 of 2.13 ± 0.03gr. Similarly, the highest daily growth rate was produced in the P3 with the results of 3.6 ± 0.0.

Desentrañando el acoso laboral docente: parecidos de familia en las experiencias de mujeres docentes del Estado de México
Authors: Villa-Tun Julia Lizette
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo se deriva de una tesis de grado como Maestra en Investigación de la Educación en el Instituto Superior de Ciencias de la Educación del Estado de México, división Nextlalpan, que examina las culturas organizacionales escolares que propician el acoso laboral entre docentes del Estado de México, centrándose en la experiencia de nueve mujeres docentes. La investigación utiliza la metodología de la historia oral y el concepto de parecidos de familia de Ludwig Wittgenstein, buscando identificar patrones y divergencias entre las experiencias de acoso laboral recolectadas a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. El estudio emplea un cuadro de parecidos de familia para analizar las entrevistas, permitiendo una comprensión de las experiencias de acoso laboral, sus consecuencias y las estrategias de resistencia empleadas por las víctimas. Los hallazgos revelan a las mujeres como el sector más vulnerable, lo que confiere una dimensión de género al acoso laboral entre docentes. Además, el estudio identifica la multidireccionalidad del acoso laboral, así como diferencias significativas derivadas de factores como el género del acosador y la vulnerabilidad de las docentes de nuevo ingreso. Las conclusiones subrayan la necesidad de abordar el acoso laboral en el ámbito educativo desde una perspectiva multidimensional que responda a las dinámicas de género y las estructuras de poder presentes dentro de estas instituciones. Este estudio, como parte de una investigación de grado más amplia, contribuye significativamente a la comprensión del acoso laboral en contextos educativos, dando voz a esas historias cotidianas que conocemos y que, como docentes, incluso vivimos.

Tal recurrencia viene a generar diversos escenarios posibles respecto a las motivaciones de quienes acusan a los jueces, y por qué resulta ser uno de los poderes del Estado más afectado históricamente con este tipo de amenaza. Este estudio intenta determinar las motivaciones que tienen los diputados sobre el uso de este mecanismo tan excepcional, proporcionando un análisis de diferentes causas que podrían afectar la permanencia de un Juez en su cargo y que, de resultar efectiva, podrían terminar con una destitución anticipada.
MYTHS OF ACADEMIC (MIS)CONDUCT AND INTEGRITY
Authors: Artyukhov Artem
Published: January 2025

This article critically examines common myths surrounding academic integrity, addressing oversimplified narratives that limit understanding of its complexity. By drawing upon recent research and evidence-based practices, the article aims to provide a nuanced perspective on the realities of academic misconduct, explore the multifaceted nature of ethical challenges in academia, and highlight the shared responsibilities of stakeholders in promoting a culture of integrity. The analysis debunks myths such as the assumption that plagiarism is the sole form of misconduct, that technology primarily facilitates cheating, and that academic integrity violations are limited to students. Instead, it underscores the breadth of academic misconduct, the dual role of technology as both a challenge and a tool for fostering integrity, and the pivotal influence of faculty and institutional practices on student behavior. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of inclusive academic integrity policies, which account for cultural and systemic factors, and the need for proactive approaches such as education, clear communication, and ongoing stakeholder collaboration to address misconduct effectively. This study highlights the dynamic nature of academic integrity, which is evolving with technological advancements and diverse educational practices. It identifies gaps in current approaches, such as inconsistent faculty engagement and inadequate attention to systemic inequities, and proposes future research directions. These include exploring the intersection of academic integrity with equity and inclusion, evaluating the long-term efficacy of interventions, and addressing emerging challenges such as the ethical use of generative AI. By fostering informed and evidence-based dialogue, the article aims to contribute to developing strategies that uphold ethical standards and support the academic community in adapting to an ever-changing educational landscape.

Published: January 2025

The methodological approaches to assessing the impact of risks on the performance of agricultural enterprises have been studied. The main risks of the economic activities of agricultural enterprises have been identified, and a description of each risk has been provided, along with the indicators that determine them. It has been proven that a quantitative assessment of the impact of risks on agricultural enterprises should be carried out using the taxonomy method, which is a multivariate analysis for comparing and ranking objects based on various indicators. An assessment of the impact of risks on the economic performance of agricultural enterprises in the Kyiv region was conducted using the taxonomy method, which allowed for a quantitative evaluation of the influence of identified risks. The directions for neutralizing the risks of economic activity of agricultural enterprises in the Kyiv region have been identified, which include: "Financial Derisking," "Optimization of Production Costs," "Hedging Price Risks," "Diversification of Crops," "Agri-Insurance," "Logistics Adaptation," and "Implementation of Climate-Resilient Agro-Technologies." A specific set of risk neutralization directions has been determined for each of the studied agricultural enterprises in the Kyiv region.
MATHEMATICAL MODELS, ALGORITHMS AND METHODS OF CONDITIONS OF MARKET RELATIONS
Authors:   Academy of Economic Sciences of Ukraine, Savyuk Larysa
Published: January 2025

Modern global trends in improving the quality of education in the structure of the knowledge economy require a deep study of the world experience in assessing added academic value. The methodology for assessing added academic value has found wide practical implementation in the European educational space, but has not yet received recognition among the Ukrainian educational community. This methodological tool can become an innovative platform for transformation processes in the Ukrainian educational system under martial law and in the post-war period. Assessing added academic value will help determine the effectiveness of each educational institution as a player in the educational services and labor market. When assessing added academic value, a complex vector of internal academic and external social factors is taken into account. After a thorough study of the practical experience of implementing the methodology for determining added academic value in the global educational space, this vector of influencing factors should be adapted to modern Ukrainian realities. Regression models of this methodology should be based on tools of independent external assessment, modern systems for assessing the level of education and intellectual growth of each educational entity. The careful, gradual and planned implementation of this educational toolkit should contribute to increasing motivation to improve the educational process, strengthening mutual ties between government agencies, educational institutions, business and society.

Authors: Tabet Edouard Youssef , Akiki Sarah , Rouphael Suzy , Awad Elie , Hosri Chadi , Darazy Dalida
Published: January 2025

This study examined the impact of two fertilizers (FI (CRFA) and F2 (Arizona University) and three substrates (S1(100% coconut fiber), S2 (50% coconut fiber, 50% grape marc, and 7g of polymers), and S3 (50% coconut fiber, 50% grape marc, and 13g of polymers)) on tomato growth in a soilless system. Results showed that Fertilizer F2 was the most effective overall. Substrate S3 excelled in node count and flower bud spacing, likely due to improved moisture retention and nutrient availability. Substrate S1 supported optimal stem length and node spacing. Substrate S2 yielded the highest tomato production. These findings suggest that optimizing fertilization and substrate composition can significantly improve tomato yield and quality in soilless systems. This has implications for sustainable agriculture by reducing reliance on soil-based cultivation and potentially increasing crop productivity. Further research in this area could lead to more efficient and environmentally friendly farming practices.

Authors: Ganesh M. Shankar , Revanth R. , Elaya Bharathi C. Mahesh
Published: January 2025

Objective: This review aims to synthesize evidence on the efficacy and challenges of precision medicine strategies in cancer treatment, focusing on their role in mitigating recurrence and enhancing patient-specific therapy.
Data Sources: Examination of current literature on precision medicine techniques such as immunotherapy (including checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapy, and cancer vaccines), genetic and molecular profiling for personalized treatment strategies, predictive biomarkers for selecting responsive patients, AI for improved diagnostic and prognostic accuracy, and liquid biopsies for non-invasive monitoring of minimal residual disease.
Conclusion: Precision medicine in oncology offers a paradigm shift toward personalized care, potentially reducing cancer recurrence through tailored treatment modalities. While immunotherapy introduces novel mechanisms to fight cancer, its efficacy is sometimes limited by tumor evolution. Genetic and molecular profiling, along with predictive biomarkers, enable the customization of therapy plans. AI and machine learning algorithms promise to refine detection, treatment, and monitoring processes. Liquid biopsies emerge as a pivotal tool for early detection and surveillance of cancer recurrence. Further research and clinical trials are crucial for integrating these advanced strategies into standard care, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and minimize recurrence rates.

Authors: Novo Malvárez Margarita
Published: January 2025

En los siglos XVII y XVIII los conventos franciscanos de Mallorca y Menorca se embellecieron con pinturas murales realizadas en grisalla. Estas nos remiten a unas necesidades devocionales locales, pero también a la puesta en marcha de programas evangelizadores en el Nuevo Mundo y al tornaviaje de religiosos misioneros. La reaparición en la Edad Moderna de estas pinturas en blanco y negro en los conventos insulares es objeto de estudio en el contexto de la tradición misional, española y americana.

The peculiarities of theoretical and practical teaching of portrait in the dialogue of the traditions of Western and Chinese painting when training future painters in modern universities and colleges in China
Authors: Cui Wenxin
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study is to identify and characterize the role of portraiture in the system of training future artists in modern Chinese universities and colleges. The article examines the theoretical part of the training of future artists that is the introducing students to the history of portraiture, the specificity of which is to identify the difference in "eastern" and "Western" approaches, as well as their transformation over time. In the framework of practical classes, students practice in the field of compositional portraiture, taking into account the peculiarities of Western European and national traditional art. When creating compositions, students independently choose materials and methods of expression, focusing on nature and developing an individual manner based on the synthesis of different traditions. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time, based on the experience of various Chinese art teachers, it describes and systematizes the components of a modern educational process focused on teaching portraiture. As a result of the research, it was found that the acquaintance of future artists with portraiture necessarily includes a theoretical and practical component. The first one demonstrates the difference in the approaches of Western and Chinese art in the interpretation and means of expressing the portrait image, but at the same time the convergence in the process of transformations in the art of the 20th and 21st centuries. As part of the second component, students, after mastering the basics of constructing such images in both Chinese and Western painting, independently choose creative methods and artistic language, but based on nature.
Techniques of persuasion in contemporary Spanish preaching discourse
Authors: Nemtseva Kseniia Igorevna
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study is to identify the means of speech influence of preachers on the target audience. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the fact that for the first time the research focuses on the use of invasive means in modern Spanish preaching. The article reflects the centuries-old history of the development of preaching discourse, which originated in the first centuries of Christianity and was particularly developed in Spain during the reign of Catholic kings. Currently, in Spain, preaching acts as an important social practice involving a large audience, as evidenced by the regular publication of special manuals on homiletics as the art of preaching. Preaching is defined as a type of public speaking characterized by persistence, that is, the influence of the addressee on the recipient in order to change his mental and behavioral attitudes, which involves the use of special linguistic techniques. As a result of the research, it was found that in the preaching of the Seven Words, a significant event in the cultural life of Spain, such aggressive means as modal verbs and periphrases, metaphor, rhetorical question, antithesis, emotive vocabulary, as well as techniques of detachment and intimatization play an important role.
Some aspects of standardization of gender differences in Serbian and Croatian (based on explanatory dictionaries and reference books)
Authors: Bychenko Alina Alexeevna
Published: January 2025

This article is dedicated to specific variations in gender forms of nouns in Serbian and Croatian. The aim of this research is to describe certain aspects of inter-variant gender differences in Serbian and Croatian explanatory dictionaries and language reference books. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that, for the first time, specific discrepancies in gender forms have been established when comparing Serbian and Croatian literary (standard) languages. Nouns, when compared between Serbian and Croatian, may have non-identical gender characteristics. The work examines specific issues of standardizing variant gender correlates through the prism of symbols and abbreviations in the structure of Serbian and Croatian explanatory dictionaries. The unification of gender variants of individual lexical units, the selection of a recommended exemplary variant with its corresponding fixation in dictionaries and reference books, are accompanied by symbols and normative-stylistic labels. The results obtained have shown that for the Serbian language, it is characteristic to preserve the duality of the norm when choosing one of the gender variants, while for the Croatian language, it is characteristic to fix that exemplary variant which is not so representative and widespread in the Serbian language environment. The comparative analysis of gender differences is illustrated by examples from Serbian and Croatian online publications.

Authors: Vorontsova Evgeniia Victorovna , Chicherina Natalya Vasilyevna
Published: January 2025

The aim of this research is the theoretical justification and experimental verification of the effectiveness of an integrative methodology that combines the technological principles of designing audiovisual micro-modules and the linguodidactic mechanisms for the development of lexical competence in students of the "Linguistics" program (level B2) in a digital educational environment. The article presents the results of theoretical substantiation and experimental research, within which a three-phase learning model was developed and tested, based on the principles of neurodidactics and cognitive visualization, integrating technological and methodological aspects of the formation of lexical competence. A microlearning system has been implemented on the Moodle educational platform, including an optimized combination of micro-videos (40%), animated flashcards (35%), and interactive infographics (25%), which ensures the comprehensive development of all components of lexical competence. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of a theoretical and methodological justification for a three-phase microlearning model, based on the principles of neurodidactics and cognitive visualization for the formation of lexical competence. Significant correlation links between the parameters of the digital footprint and the effectiveness of learning lexical material have been identified and statistically confirmed (r = 0.82, p < 0.001), which creates a scientific basis for predicting individual educational trajectories. The effectiveness of the developed model has been experimentally proven, providing a significant increase in the rate of learning lexical material (by 37.4%, p < 0.01) and the sustainability of formed skills (an increase in material retention by 42.3%) compared to traditional teaching methods.

Petrus, die Reinigung der Herzen und die Inklusion in das Volk Gottes (Apg 15,9)
Authors: Hammann Christoph
Published: January 2025

In his speech at the assembly of the apostles in Jerusalem (Acts 15:6–21), Peter argues for accepting the non-Jewish Christ believers (the ἔθνη) as full members of God’s people. One of his statements (Acts 15,9) contains the terms καθαρίζω, καρδία and πίστις, resulting in an expression quite unusual for Luke. According to Peter, God has purified the hearts of the ἔθνη by faith.

The present article sheds light on the motif of the purification of hearts expressed in Acts 15:9. It examines how this motif relates to Greco-Roman anthropology, especially to philosophical and medical concepts of that time. In doing so, it raises the following questions: Is the idea expressed in Acts 15:9 compatible with these concepts, and is there a further dimension the motif of the purification of hearts unfolds compared to these models? Thereby, the article explores the potential of Acts 15:9 in the dialogue with educated pagan readers.
Population genetic analysis of the population of Zaporizhzhia region based on surname data
Authors:   V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Shuba V. , Atramentova L. ,   Kharkiv Scientific Research Forensic Centre of MIA
Published: January 2025

The genetic structure of a population determines its adaptability, which is reflected in the population’s health, cultural, and intellectual potential. This study aimed to determine the indicators that characterize the genetic structure of populations in the Zaporizhzhia oblast. Throughout its centuries, the Zaporizhzhia oblast has been a crossroads of cultures, making it one of the most ethnically and genetically diverse areas. Surname-based indicators were obtained to characterise populations of the Zaporizhzhia oblast at various hierarchical levels to deepen the understanding of the state of the Ukrainian gene pool. The method used was the description of the genetic structure of the population through surnames, as proposed by I. Barrai. The study used a list of surnames of residents of the Zaporizhzhia oblast from 2001 to 2005. Twenty separate district populations, the city of Zaporizhzhia, and the overall regional population were analysed. The results indicate a significant range of variation in the structural organization of district populations. The main indicator, the isonymy index (I), ranges from 3.6 to 19.0 (×10-4). The inbreeding coefficient (FST) varies from 8.9 to 47.6 (×10-5), the migration rate (v) ranges from 213.0 to 1168.6 (10-4), the diversity index (a) ranges from 5.5 to 28.8 (×102), and the entropy index (H) is between 10.1 and 12.9. The surname redundancy (R) also fluctuates significantly from 17.2 to 27.4. In some settlements, individuals with the same surname are clustered, which the founder effect can explain. The indicators of isonymy, inbreeding, and migration in district populations significantly exceed those of the regional population, indicating the specific genetic structure at the local level. The lowest levels of isonymy are observed in districts with high tourist and transit activity, which may indicate the influence of external factors on genetic diversity. This data provides valuable insights for further studies in population genetics and can be used to develop strategies for preserving genetic and cultural diversity in the country.
Influence of tryptophan on histomorphometric changes of the brown adipose tissue in rats
Authors: Yanko R.
Published: January 2025

Literature data on the effects of tryptophan on brown adipose tissue (BAT) are ambiguous. Its role in BAT with existing pathology in the body, primarily obesity, was mainly studied. However, the effect of the use of tryptophan on the functioning of a healthy BAT is little studied. The aim of this work was to study the effect of L-tryptophan on the histomorphometric parameters of the BAT in healthy rats. The study was conducted on male Wistar rats, whose age at the beginning of the experiment was 3 months. Rats were divided into 2 groups (12 animals in each): I group – control, II group – experimental animals, which received daily oral L-tryptophan at a dose of 80 mg/kg body weight. Work with rats was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Histological preparations were made from the interscapular bodies of the BAT according to the standard me­thod. Micropreparations of the BAT were photographed using a digital camera. Morphometry of the BAT was carried out on digital images using the computer program “Image J”. Histomorphometric analysis of the BAT of rats treated with L-tryptophan revealed an increase in the number of adipocytes with one large lipid droplet (12 times more) and a smaller number of brown adipocytes (1.5 times less). The size of adipocytes increased due to an increase in the area of lipid droplets (by 174 %) located in the cytoplasm. A decrease in the area of the nucleus, the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, and the number of nucleolus indicates inhibition of the synthetic activity of adipocytes. An increase in the relative area of connective tissue (by 13 %) and a decrease in the area of blood vessels (by 27 %) were also found in the BAT of these rats, which indicates worse perfusion, inhibition of oxygen transport to parenchymal elements, deterioration of conditions for metabolic processes. Therefore, a 28-day exposure to L-tryptophan has morphological signs of a decrease in the functional activity of BAT in healthy rats and leads to the process of its «whitening» – transformation into white adipose tissue. Therefore, despite the researched positive effect of tryptophan on many organs, it should be taken carefully so as not to harm the functioning of the BAT.
Managing in a Storm of Chaos: The Ecology of School Principals’ Crisis Management
Authors: Griffard Megan R. , Davis Cassandra R. , Ceja-Rodriguez Monica
Published: January 2025

This study provides key empirical evidence of how school principals manage crises, an important but understudied component of their role. Specifically, this paper explores the perspectives of school principals who served as hurricane emergency evacuation shelter managers to understand how they managed the crises that arose during shelter operations and the contextual factors, such as the lack of policies governing shelter management, that facilitated or impeded their ability to succeed in doing so. Our analyses established an ecological framework that blends principals’ managerial knowledge, skills, and training with the larger organizational systems in which crises occurred. Our findings demonstrate the need for improved alignment between the organizations principals serve and what is asked of them as civic leaders during crises.

LOD permite publicar datos de forma estandarizada en la web, facilitando la interconectividad entre diferentes fuentes según los protocolos del World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). El Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) ha desarrollado GeoSPARQL, un estándar para representar y consultar datos geoespaciales en formato LOD. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es identificar automáticamente los municipios donde se ubican las parcelas del IFN3, esencial para estudios comparativos, estadísticos y la gestión forestal local. Se convirtieron datos de 8 217 municipios del Instituto Geográfico Nacional a LOD y se asignaron parcelas a municipios utilizando diferentes procedimientos. Se compararon implementaciones de GeoSPARQL en los repositorios LOD Virtuoso y Fuseki con un Sistema de Información Geográfica como QGIS. La validación cruzada mostró una coincidencia del 100% entre Fuseki y QGIS y más del 70% de falsos positivos con Virtuoso. También se compararon los resultados con los códigos municipales asociados a las parcelas en el IFN3. Finalmente, se elaboraron mapas de especies dominantes por municipio, considerando el área basimétrica y la densidad, demostrando el potencial de la integración de las dos bases de datos como LOD.

Published: January 2025

Redundant multi-degree-of-freedom (DoF) manipulators are indispensable in space operations, offering unparalleled dexterity and adaptability in dynamic and resource-constrained environments. This study introduces a novel real-time whole-body obstacle avoidance (RWOA) framework, seamlessly integrating deformable dynamical systems with deep learning algorithms to address the challenges posed by microgravity, computational constraints, and dynamically moving obstacles. The proposed framework leverages a combined modulation matrix to adaptively deform the system's dynamics, enabling collision-free trajectories across the manipulator's entire structure, while ensuring precise trajectory tracking for mission-critical tasks. Deep learning is incorporated to predict obstacle motion patterns, facilitating anticipatory and adaptive control strategies that enhance operational efficacy in high-dimensional and unpredictable environments. The efficiency of the proposed method is further demonstrated through the development of a lightweight convolutional neural network architecture capable of achieving real-time obstacle trajectory prediction with minimal computational overhead. Extensive simulations and experimental validations in zero-gravity conditions reveal significant advancements in trajectory optimization, obstacle avoidance, and overall manipulator performance. This framework offers a transformative approach to robotic manipulation in extraterrestrial environments, establishing a robust foundation for future advancements in space robotics and adaptive control.

Intrinsic instabilities in spherically expanding flames often manifest as cellular structures on the flame surface. In the case of spherically expanding flames, they have been extensively studied visually using high speed cameras in conjunction with optical diagnostic techniques. While pressure traces of the combustion event are often used to characterize non-intrinsic flame instabilities (e.g., thermoacoustic), they are significantly less explored with respect to intrinsic instabilities for spherical flames. This work investigates the potential for the detection of wrinkling of spherically expanding flames using time series classification (TSC) with pressure traces. The data set contained 386 time series samples (pressure traces) that were labeled based on the associated high-speed images. The dataset contained flames from mixtures that vary in terms of fuels, working fluids, initial pressures, and equivalence ratios. A high classification accuracy (> 93%) was obtained with an ensemble machine learning algorithm for TSC, though a preliminary exploration did not yield any clear classification features and indicates the need for further exploration.
Framing Vaccination as a Collective Responsibility Increases Intentions to Vaccinate

The decision to vaccinate may be motivated by self-protection or community protection, and people may perceive vaccination as mostly a personal responsibility or a collective obligation. We conducted two preregistered survey experiments using a 2-by-2 design with the factors benefit (personal vs. collective) and responsibility (personal vs. collective). The experiments were conducted on large, overlapping representative samples of Norwegian adults: one before (N = 5,474) and one after (N = 1,789) COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Norway. In both experiment the data showed that framing vaccination choice as a collective responsibility (vs. personal responsibility) increased vaccine intentions. Emphasizing personal benefit (vs. collective benefit) increased vaccine intentions in the second experiment, but this effect was not observed in the first experiment. There was no interaction between the factors in either experiment. These findings indicate that highlighting collective responsibility may boost vaccine uptake, but the influence of emphasizing personal versus collective benefits remains inconclusive.
Detecting dementia using linguistic analysis: Terry Pratchett's Discworld tells a more personal story

Dementia, characterised by cognitive decline, significantly impacts language abilities. While the risk of dementia increases with age, it often manifests years before clinical diagnosis. Identifying early warning signs is crucial for timely intervention. Previous research has demonstrated that changes in language, such as reduced vocabulary diversity and simpler sentence structures, may be observed in individuals with dementia. This study investigates the potential of linguistic analysis to detect early signs of cognitive decline by examining the writing of Sir Terry Pratchett, a renowned author diagnosed with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), a form of dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease. This study analysed 33 Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett, comparing linguistic features (e.g., vocabulary size, lexical diversity, word class distribution) before and after a potential turning point identified through analysis of adjective type-token ratios (TTR). A significant decrease in lexical diversity (TTR) was observed for nouns and adjectives in later works. Total word count increased, while lexical diversity decreased, suggesting a shift towards simpler language. This shift coincided with a decrease in adjective TTR below a defined threshold, occurring approximately ten years before Pratchett's formal diagnosis. These findings suggest that subtle changes in linguistic patterns, such as decreased lexical diversity, may precede clinical diagnosis of dementia by a considerable margin. This research highlights the potential of linguistic analysis as a valuable tool for early detection of cognitive decline. Further research is needed to validate these findings in larger cohorts and explore the specific linguistic markers associated with different types of dementia.
Men are in charge of risky and demanding activities

Published: January 2025

Previous studies (Murdock & Provost, 1973; Murdock & White, 1969) investigated the division of labor between men and women in 185 societies. As a result, the extent to division of labor between men and women in 50 activities was clarified. In the current study, why some activities are more likely to be carried out by one sex over the other was examined. Japanese participants who participated in the online survey evaluated each of the 50 activities in terms of four criteria: risk of injury or death, physical effort, how much they would like to do the activity, and which sex should do the activity. When they rated the activities, they were not given information on whether each activity was mainly carried out by men or women in the 185 societies. Activities that were mainly carried out by men in the 185 societies tended to be rated as having a higher risk and being more physically demanding. There was also a tendency for both men and women to think that such activities should be carried out by men. Although both men and women wanted to engage in activities that were mainly carried out by women in the 185 societies, there was a sex difference in that women wanted to engage in such activities more than men.
Children leverage predictive representations for flexible, value-guided choice

By building a mental model of how the world works and using it to forecast the outcomes of different actions, a learner can make flexible choices in changing environments. However, while children and adolescents readily acquire structured knowledge about their environments, relative to adults, they tend to demonstrate weaker signatures of leveraging this knowledge to plan actions. One explanation for these developmental differences is that using a mental model to prospectively simulate potential choices and their outcomes is computationally costly, taxing cognitive control and working memory mechanisms that continue to develop into adulthood. Here, we ask whether children might effectively leverage structured knowledge to make flexible choices by relying on two alternative strategies that do not require costly mental simulation at choice time. First, through offline replanning, models can be queried before the time of choice to generate possible scenarios and update the values of potential actions. Second, an abstracted predictive model, known as a Successor Representation, can be built and harnessed to enable simplified computation of long-run reward values of candidate actions, without requiring iterative simulation of multiple time steps. To assess whether children, adolescents, and adults aged 7 - 23 years similarly harness these learning strategies, we ran three experiments. In Experiments 1 and 2, we used a reward revaluation task in which we manipulated the opportunity for offline replanning during rest, and found that children flexibly updated their behavior by leveraging structured knowledge in an adult-like manner. Surprisingly, across age, rest did not mediate flexible replanning, raising the possibility that participants may have behaved adaptively by harnessing predictive representations online. In Experiment 3, we directly tested whether children use predictive representations. Here, we observed early-emerging use of the SR, providing a mechanistic account of how children use structured knowledge to guide choice without detailed model-based simulation.
