The Dynamic Simulation of Rotary Inertia on Light vehicle-Slope I
Authors: Xu Run , Hur Boyong
Published: June 2020

According to formula we can simulate their driven force and acceleration on the slope. The mechanical formula is used to obtain force and theoretical dynamics in the slope. The driven force decreases when rotation increases. When power increases the acceleration increases. it reduces when its weight raises. It is found that the a will decrease as slope becomes high from 5 to 11° to 22°, which fit the formula too. Meantime as the radius is high from 0.3m to 0.4m to 0.47m a will be low. The needed force will increase as the slope decline becomes big at the same power.

Authors: KUTLAR Hatice
Published: June 2020

Atasözleri ve deyimler, dilin söz varlığı içinde yer alan, toplumun geçmişine ve kültürüne ilişkin taşıdığı bilgi değerini, gelecek kuşaklara taşıyıp bildiren kalıp sözlerdir. Bu kalıp sözlerin anlamları, kendini oluşturan ögelerin anlamlarıyla doğrudan bağıntılı değildir. Ancak bunların içinde geçen kişi adları, bir bütün olarak oluşturulan anlamın bir parçası olmakla hem üretilen yeni bilgiyi pekiştirirler hem de kültürel devamlılığı sağlarlar.
Atasözü ve deyimlerdeki özel adlar, bu konuyla ilgili sözlük ve çalışmalardan taranarak tespit edildi. Bunlar, kendi içinde; yer adları; kişi adları; etnik kimlik ve mensubiyet bildiren adlar olarak sınıflandırıldı. Atasözü ve deyimlerde geçen yer adları, daha önce ayrı bir makale olarak yayımlandı. Bu yazıda kişi adları ele alınmıştır.
Bu çalışmada, atasözleri ve deyimler hakkında kısa bilgiler verildikten sonra, bunlarda geçen kişi adları, derlenen malzemeden yola çıkılarak niteliklerine göre gruplandırıldı. Kişi adlarının geçtiği atasözü ve deyimler, kaynaklarda verilen açıklama ve anlamlarıyla birlikte alfabetik olarak düzenlendi.
Atasözleri ve deyimlerimizde madde başlarına göre 314 kişi adı geçtiği tespit edildi. Bunlardan 16’sı yaşamış, dinî bir vasfı olanlar veya din kültürüyle ilişkili olanlar; 67’si yaşamış, tarihî veya menkıbevî şahsiyetler; 231’i de yaşayıp yaşamadığı tespit edilemeyen, herhangi bir kişi adıdır.
Bu çalışmayla, atasözleri ve deyimlerde hangi kişi adlarının kullanıldığı bildirilmeye; geçmişte birlikte yaşanılan kişilerin veya toplumun zihninde yer etmiş kişilerin dilde karşıladığı göstergeleri belirlemeye; dil-toplum-kişi adı üçgeninde oluşan kültürel varlık gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Greta Thunberg ve İklim İçin Okul Grevleri: Küresel İklim Aktivizminde Yeni Süreç
Authors: YILDIRIM Yavuz
Published: June 2020

Greta Thunberg, 2018 yazında İsveç Parlamentosu önünde oturma eylemi yaparak, iklim değişimi/krizi ve buna yönelik aktivizm tartışmalarında yeni bir süreç başlattı. Uluslararası medyanın da konuyla ilgilenmesiyle beraber Thunberg bir iklim mücadelesi ikonuna dönüşürken, önerdiği İklim için Okul Grevleri, geçen bir yıl içerisinde lise ve altı derecedeki öğrencilerin katılımıyla dünyanın pek çok yerinde gerçekleşen bir eylem biçimi oldu. Bu bağlamda çalışma, iklim tartışmalarının küresel çapta kolektif ve bireysel eylemlerle nasıl dönüştüğünü anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Temel argüman, iklim konusunda sosyal boyutun artan düzeyde önem kazandığıdır. Türkçe literatürde yeterli ilgiyi görmeyen İklim İçin Okul Grevleri, iklim hareketinde yeni bir dönemi simgelemektedir. Yeni bir gençlik hareketi, herkese ait olan, müşterek ve makro bir meseleyi yeni bir eylem tarzıyla önümüze sunmaktadır. Bu aynı zamanda siyasal bir sorgulamadır. İklim krizinden iklim adaletine doğru dönüşüm yeni adımlar atılması konusunda devletlere yönelik önemli bir baskı aracı olacaktır.

Authors: KAÇANOĞLU Mesut
Published: June 2020

İkinci dünya savaşı sonrası ortaya çıkan kalkınma iktisadı 1980’lere kadar altın çağını yaşamış olmasına rağmen 1980 sonrası dönemde kalkınma adına uygulanan politikaların başarılı olamaması nedeniyle önemli eleştirilere maruz kalmıştır. Bu dönemde kalkınma iktisadının çıkmaza girdiği ileri sürülmüştür. Farklı görüşler kalkınma iktisadının çıkmazına çözüm üretmeye çalışmıştır. Bu farklı görüşler arasında yer alan post kalkınma yaklaşımları kalkınma iktisadının çıkmazını post modern bakış açısıyla eleştirmekte ve çözüm sunmaya çalışmaktadır. Post kalkınma yaklaşımları modernist kalkınma düşüncesine önemli eleştiriler getirmiş, kültürel farklılıklara vurgu yaparak evrensel meta-anlatıların diğer görüşleri baskı altına almasını eleştirmiştir. Bu çalışmada post modern görüşler üzerine şekillenen post kalkınma yaklaşımlarının, kalkınma yazınına yönelttikleri temel eleştirilere ve kalkınma çözümüne yer verilecektir. Post kalkınma yaklaşımları genel hatlarıyla ele alınacak ve kalkınma sorunsalına bakışı değerlendirilecektir.

The method used in architectural planning is The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), which can provide techniques on how to build, manage and implement enterprise architecture and information systems called the Architecture Development Method (ADM). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the application of the TOGAF method in Bappenda can improve the performance of the system applied by a percentage of 57.29%. The suggestion for implementing TOGAF in Bappenda is to be able to develop gradually according to the existing stages in TOGAF and explain how to find an organization's enterprise architecture specifically based on business needs and processes
The Disruptive Physician: A Conceptual Organization
Authors: Williams Betsy White , Williams Michael V.
Published: June 2020

Disruptive physician behavior is now generally recognized to pose a potential threat to patient safety. Recent policy positions and sentinel event designations have acknowledged this. Disruptive behavior is a widespread event with some 1–5 percent of physicians acting in a disruptive manner although significantly higher rates are cited for incidents of verbal abuse. Disruptive behavior can be classified along at least two dimensions. The first dimension is whether the behavior is goal-oriented in the sense that the physician achieves some goal or end. The second dimension focuses on the physician's social/behavioral competence. In addition, the disruptive physician should be assessed for psychological or psychiatric conditions (Axis I and II) as well as medical conditions that could be contributing.

After classification of the behavior and determination of the physician's mental and physical functioning, it is possible to develop appropriate remedial strategies. These may include knowledge and skill development, psychiatric and psychological treatment, medical treatment and modifications to the hospital or clinical system in which the physician works. Failure to consider the multifactoral causes and manifestations of disruptive behavior could lead to ineffective approaches that do not successfully address the problem and present a high risk of relapse, thus posing a continuing threat to patient safety.
Prospects for a National Clearinghouse on International Medical Schools
Authors: Johnson David Alan
Published: June 2020

In 2006, a special committee appointed by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) issued its report on the “Evaluation of Undergraduate Medical Education” in the United States and abroad. Satisfied with accreditation systems already providing reasonable and adequate assurance for the quality of medical education in this country, the committee turned its focus toward international medical schools. Because international medical graduates (IMGs) comprise 25 percent of the physician workforce, U.S. medical licensing boards continue to seek meaningful information on the medical schools of their licensees.

The report's recommendations included a call for close monitoring of efforts to provide international accreditation systems. One of the current initiatives being closely watched is that of the Caribbean Authority for Accreditation in Medicine and Other Health Professions (CAAM). Under the auspices of the Caribbean Community, CAAM has established an accreditation system for medical schools in the region, carried out site visits and rendered decisions for a number of Caribbean schools. A complementary initiative currently underway by FSMB and ECFMG staff involves the development of a primer on IMGs and international medical education. This web-based resource is scheduled for completion in late fall 2008.

The major recommendation of the special committee report called for the FSMB to work with state medical boards and the ECFMG to establish an information and data clearinghouse on international medical schools. A clearinghouse workgroup has already begun meeting and considering various quality indicators suggested by the special committee report such as admission requirements, policies relative to advanced standing and aggregate performance data on USMLE. The challenges facing the clearinghouse are significant. One approach being considered is to focus data collection efforts primarily on the eight to 10 schools currently supplying the largest number of IMGs seeking medical licensure in the United States.
DISSOLUTION PROPERTIES OF A DOLOMITE CONTAINING ZINC ORE IN SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTIONS
Authors: Kumaş Cavit , Ehsani İlhan , Obut Abdullah
Published: June 2020

In this work, the dissolution properties of a dolomite containing zinc carbonate (smithsonite) ore
sample having 24.22% ZnO were determined in sodium hydroxide solutions using X-ray diffraction
(XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal (TG/DTA) and chemical analyses
methods. It was observed that the dissolution efficiency value of zinc continuously increased with
the increase of sodium hydroxide concentration from 1 to 4 M and the highest zinc dissolution
efficiency of 70.7% was reached after dissolution in 4 M NaOH solution at temperature of 298 K.
The XRD, FT-IR, TG/DTA and chemical analyses of undissolved solids obtained after dissolution
of ore sample in 4 M NaOH solution at 298 K revealed that the smithsonite phase in the sample
completely dissolved whereas the main gangue mineral dolomite remained practically unaffected,
showing the selectivity of sodium hydroxide solution considering zinc dissolution. Although the
smithsonite phase in the sample totally dissolved, hundred percent zinc dissolution efficiency
could not be reached, which may indicate the presence of zinc in the gangue components, i.e.
dolomite, clay minerals etc., of the studied ore sample.
Nuevas evidencias históricas del siglo XVIII sobre la presencia de “cardos” en Argentina y sus implicancias etnobotánicas
Authors: Gutiérrez Diego G. , Scarpa Gustavo F. , Rosso Cintia N
Published: June 2020

Introducción y objetivos: Actualmente numerosas especies, nativas y exóticas, llamadas “cardos” están ampliamente distribuidas en Argentina. Durante el siglo XVIII varias publicaciones jesuíticas mencionaron “cardos” en este país, como el trabajo ilustrado de Florián Paucke. El objetivo principal del trabajo es recopilar, de las fuentes escritas del siglo XVIII, los registros de plantas denominadas como “cardos” o nombres similares; en segundo lugar, identificar a nivel de especie las entidades mencionadas por Paucke como “azafrán”, “cardo” y “cardo hortense”; y finalmente, discutir las implicancias etnobotánicas.

M&M: El área de estudio incluyó Argentina desde el sur de la región Pampeana a la región Chaqueña. Se analizó bibliografía, evidencias históricas de los siglos XVIII del área de estudio, materiales de herbario y su morfología, y se efectuaron viajes de campo.

Resultados: Las entidades “azafrán alazor”, “azafrán de Indias” o “azafrán paracuario” de Paucke se identificaron como Carthamus tinctorius (“cártamo”, Compositae), y “cardo” y “cardo hortense” como Cynara cardunculus (Compositae), asociadas a las variedades sylvestris (“cardo de Castilla”) y scolymus (“alcaucil”) respectivamente. El “cardo santo” nombrado por Pedro de Montenegro se asoció a Argemone subfusiformis (Papaveraceae). Se registraron 12 nuevos usos medicinales y alimenticios de los aborígenes moqoit del Chaco de Argentina.

Conclusiones: Los “cardos” identificados, nativos e introducidos, fueron utilizados con fines medicinales y alimenticios durante el período colonial, e incorporados en las reducciones aborígenes por misioneros jesuitas. Carthamus tinctorius y Cynara cardunculus posiblemente hayan sido introducidos para ser utilizadas en huertos y posteriormente hayan escapado de las áreas de cultivo.

Bilimkurgu Sinemasında Başka Gezegenlere Göç: Beden, Kimlik ve Benlik Kavramları Çerçevesinde “Pandorum” Filmi Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: BOZ Mikail
Published: June 2020

Göç olgusu Dünya gezegeni üzerindeki insan hareketlerini nitelendirse de artan nüfusun gereksinimlerini karşılayacak kaynakların kıtlığı, küresel ısınma, biyolojik felaketler olasılığı, dünya dışı yaşamlarla karşılaşma ve yapay zekaya dönük endişeler göç süreçlerini daha evrensel düzeyde, yakın geleceği gözeten boyutta değerlendirmeyi gerekli kılmaktadır. Yirminci yüzyılın başından itibaren galaktik boyutta göçe imkân verecek olan nesil yıldız gemileri (generation starship) düşünülmeye başlanmıştır ve bu tür bir yolculukta hangi sorunların yaşanabileceğini gündeme taşımıştır. Bu yolculuğun ilk örneklerini ise bilimkurgu sinemasında görmek mümkündür.
Bu çalışmada insanlığın başka bir gezegene yolculuğunu ve kolonileştirmeyi başlangıçta bir istençli göç, sonrasında ise zorunlu bir mültecilik olarak ele alan Pandorum (Christian Alvart, 2009) filmi, nitel yaklaşımla tematik ve betimsel anlatı analizine tabii tutulmuştur. Analize kavramsal arka plan sağlaması açısından göç, bilimkurgu ve nesil yıldız gemileri, beden sosyolojisi, benlik, kimlik ve öteki kavramları tanımlanmıştır. Filmin insanlığın galaktik boyuttaki göçünü nasıl ele aldığı, bu göçün mültecilerin insanlığını nasıl etkilediği, göçün uygarlık değerlerinin nasıl aşındırabileceği ve ne türden tehlikeler içerdiği, J.D. Bernal’in literatürdeki öncü çalışmasının metaforik başlıkları olan “dünya”, “beden” ve “şeytan” kavramları etrafında, anlatı analiziyle ortaya konmuştur.
Kitle ve Kültür Turizmi Bağlamında JollyTur ve EtsTur Seyahat Acentelerine Ait İnternet Reklamlarının İçerik Analizi
Authors: BAKIR Zeynep Nihan , ÇELİK Hasan Cem
Published: June 2020

Kapitalizm, dünya genelinde hâkimiyeti ele geçirirken ulusları, sömürenler ve sömürülenler olmak üzere iki ayrı kutba ayırmış ve iş gücünden doğal kaynaklara kadar dünya üzerindeki hemen hemen bütün kaynakları sömürü unsuruna dönüştürmüştür. Bağımlılık Kuramına göre bu sömürü unsurlarının en önemlilerinden bir tanesi, günümüzde turizm sektörü olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Buna göre Batılı merkez ülkeler, az gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan çevre ülkelere, onların bağımlı konumlarını yeniden üretecek şekilde, kitle turizmini dayatırken, nispeten daha temiz ve prestijli olan kültür turizmini kendi hegemonyaları altında tutmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de reklam izleyenlere ne tür bir turizmin teşvik edildiğini ortaya koyabilmek amacıyla, JollyTur ve Ets Tur seyahat acentelerinin 2019 senesi boyunca yayınlamış oldukları internet reklamları, niceliksel içerik analizi yöntemi ile çözümlenmiştir. Yapılan çözümlemede, her iki seyahat acentesinin de kitle turizmi temalı reklamlara fazlasıyla yer verdikleri, turizm anlayışını neredeyse tamamı ile deniz-kum-güneş üçlüsü ile sınırladıkları ve kültür turizmini görmezden geldikleri bulgulanmıştır. Çözümleme için belirlenen kategorilerin görüntüsel ve metinsel tekrarları aracılığı ile sözü edilen seyahat acentelerinin, kültür turizmini belli başlı lokasyon ve etkinlik ile sınırladıkları ve reklam izleyenleri kitle turizmine teşvik ettikleri sonucuna varılmıştır.

Authors: Çadırcı İbrahim , Erdenliğ Gürbilek Sevil
Published: June 2020

Bu çalışmada sütte anti Brucella antikorlarını saptamak için bir indirekt süt ELISA prototipi geliştirilmesi amaçlandı. Daha önce Brucella abortus biyotip 3 izole edilen enfekte çiftliklerden alınarak Rose Bengal Pleyt testi (RBPT) ve komplement fiksasyon testi (KFT) ile test edilerek pozitif bulunan toplam 36 süt ve serum örneği ve brucella ari sürülerden alınan 45 adet süt ve serum örnekleri tanısal duyarlılık ve özgüllüğün saptanmasında receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) ile analiz edildiler. Bu analizin sonucunda yüzde pozitivite (PP) olarak ifade edilen eşik değeri değeri, %29.3 olarak alınmıştır. Buna göre testin duyarlılığı (sensitivite) %96.15 [%95 (güven eşiğindeki sınırlar (%80.36-99.9)] ve özgüllük (spesifisite) %95.65 [%95 (güven eşiğindeki sınırlar (%85.16-99.47)] olarak saptandı. Sonuçlar, aynı hayvandan alınan süt ve serum sonuçları arasında korelasyon gösterdi. Süt ring testi (SRT), KFT ve RBPT sonuçlarına göre en yüksek oranda yanlış pozitif sonuç veren test oldu. Çalışmanın sonunda elde etdilen bulgular, indirekt süt ELISA prototipinin oldukça duyarlı ve özgül bir test olduğunu ve sütün mevcut olduğu durumlarda, hastalığın serolojik tanısı için süt sığırlarında stress yaratmadan kullanılabileceğini ortaya koymuştur. Dolayısı ile süt örneklerinde ELISA’nın kullanımı ile süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinde bruselloz ile ilgili güvenilir ve sağlam veriler, ekonomik ve pratik olarak elde edilebilecektir.

On the Evolution of Library and Information Science Doctoral Dissertation Topics in China
Authors: Song Yanhui , Zhu Li , Shu Fei
Published: June 2020

Previous Studies presented a radical change in Libray and Information Science (LIS) research topics in North America. This paper investigates LIS doctoral dissertations in China in terms of their topics and interdisciplinarity in the past 20 years. Results don’t find the significant change of LIS dissertation topics in China but reveal that the increase of LIS doctoral research on Information Science is attributed to the increase of admissions to the major Information Science comparing with other majors (Library Science and Archive Studies). This study also shows that the academic background of LIS doctoral advisors does not affect the interdisciplinarity of their student’s doctoral dissertations in China.
Associations between Work–Family Balance, Parenting Stress, and Marital Conflicts during COVID-19 Pandemic in Singapore
Authors: Chung Gerard , Chan Xi Wen , Lanier Paul , Ju Peace Wong Yuh
Published: June 2020

Objective:To identify profiles of parents’ work-family balance (WFB) and social support and examine their links with parenting stress and marital conflict.Background:As part of the “Circuit-breaker” social distancing measure to address COVID-19, the government of Singapore closed schools and workplaces from April-May 2020. Although this helped reduce transmission rates, for working parents, this period had been a challenging experience of working from home while providing care for children full-time. Problems in the work-home interface can have a significant impact on parenting and marital harmony.Method:We collected data from 258 parents in Singapore using online surveys. Latent profile analysis was used to identify profiles of parents’ WFB and spousal and employer support. Linear regression was used to examine links between profiles with parenting stress and marital conflicts. Results:Results indicated three distinct profiles of WFB and social support levels: (a) Strong (43%), (b) Moderate (38%), and (c) Poor (19%). Mothers were more likely than fathers to be in the Moderate and Poor profiles. One key finding is that profiles characterized by poorer WFB were found to be linked with higher parenting stress and increased marital conflicts. Conclusion:There are important variations in parents’ abilities to balance work and family and levels of social support received. Lock-downs can be detrimental to parenting and marital harmony especially for parents with poor WFB and weak social support. Implications:Any attention given to supporting working parents is vital and urgent to counter any problems in the work–family interface during a lock-down

Despite the countless heroic clinicians who give their whole selves to person-centered care, healthcare is not immune to systemic racism. Disenfranchised patients and families, who are disproportionately African American, are suffering in silence. Now is the time to listen to their voices and advocate for their needs. Let us all take a knee in solidarity and listen to Alma describe her empirical experience of the disenfranchisement that complicated her grief over the death of her husband and changed her life forever.
Quantum Gravity Emergence from Entanglement in a Multi-Fold Universe
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: June 2020

We start from a hypothetical multi-fold universe U_MF, where the propagation of everything is slower or equal to the speed of light and where entanglement extends the set of paths available to Path Integrals. This multifold mechanism enables EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) “spooky actions at distance” to result from local interactions in the resulting folds. It produces gravity-like attractive effective potentials in the spacetime, between entangled entities, that are caused by the curvature of the folds. When quantized, multi-folds correspond to gravitons and they are enablers of EPR entanglement. Gravity emerges non-perturbative and covariant from EPR entanglement between virtual particles surrounding an entity. In U_MF, we encounter mechanisms that predict gravity fluctuations when entanglement is present, including in macroscopic entanglements. Besides providing a new perspective on quantum gravity, when added to the Standard Model as (SM_G), with non-negligible affects at its scales, and to the Standard Cosmology, U_MF can contribute explanations of several open questions and challenges. It also clarifies some relationships and challenges met by other quantum gravity models and Theories of Everything. It leads to suggestions for these works. We also reconstruct the spacetime of U_MF, starting from the random walks of particles in an early spacetime. U_MF now appears as a noncommutative, discrete, yet Lorentz symmetric, spacetime that behaves roughly 2-Dimensional at Planck scales, when it is a graph of microscopic Planck size black holes on a random walk fractal structure left by particles that can also appear as microscopic black holes. Of course, at larger scales, spacetime appears 4-D, where we are able to explain curvature and recover Einstein’s General Relativity. We also discover an entanglement gravity-like contributions and massive gravity at very small scales. This is remarkable considering that no Hilbert Einstein action, or variations expressing area invariance, were introduced. Our model also explains why semi classical approaches can work till way smaller scale than usually expected and present a new view on an Ultimate Unification of all forces, at very small scales. We also explore opportunities for falsifiability and validation of our model, as well as ideas for futuristic applications, that may be worth considering, if U_MF was a suitable model for our universe U_real.

Influence of age, gender and personality on young adolescents’ reporting of online risks to third parties
Authors: Ingram Gordon
Published: June 2020

Young people’s exposure to various types of risk on the Internet—including interactions with strangers, inappropriate material, and cyberbullying—is an increasing social concern. Exposure to online risks has been found to increase with age and to correlate with certain personality characteristics. However, adolescents’ own reporting to adults of the risks that they encounter has been much less studied, even though effective communication about online risks is vital to help young people manage them. A survey on online risks, along with a short Big Five personality test (the TIPI), was administered to 193 Colombian adolescents (101 female), aged between 12-15 years and in 7th or 9th grade. Age-related hypotheses were that exposure to online risks and online conflicts would rise between 7th and 9th grade, while reporting of risk exposure to adults would fall. The age-related hypotheses were supported: 9th-graders were exposed to significantly more online risks and participated in significantly more online conflicts than 7th-graders, while reporting such incidents significantly less often to adults (both parents and teachers). However, the only personality-based hypothesis to be firmly supported was that extraversion would be associated with more reporting of online risks. Multiple regression further showed that demographic factors (age and gender) taken together explained significantly more of the variation in online risk exposure, conflict participation and risk reporting than did all personality factors together. Results suggest that young people undergo increased exposure to online risks and conflicts in early-to-middle adolescence, accompanied by a reduction in reporting of such incidents to adults.
Situations in close relationships
Authors: Columbus Simon , Righetti Francesca , Balliet Daniel
Published: June 2020

A science of close relationships stands to benefit from an understanding of the situations in which interactions between partners take place. In this chapter, we briefly review recent advances in situation research. Within the current decade, several new taxonomies have been put forward that describe how people perceive situations. Functional Interdependence Theory, in particular, posits that people are well-prepared to understand situations in terms of interdependence. New instruments based on Functional Interdependence Theory and other taxonomies for the first time allow researchers to measure in a comprehensive way how people subjectively perceive situations. Coupled with experience sampling methods, which allow the collection of psychological measures in everyday life, these instruments enable researchers to paint a full picture of the interdependent situations people experience in their relationships. We discuss how studying the situations partners experience together in daily life allows researchers to find new answers to questions arising from a) Interdependence Theory, b) Attachment Theory, and c) theorising on relationship maintenance behaviours. Finally, we offer a framework for research on situational interdependence in close relationships.

Published: June 2020

Note: a more recent version of this article is now published at PLOS ONE: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0240349 Adolescence is a formative phase for social development. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated regulations have led to many changes in adolescents’ lives, including limited opportunities for social interactions. The first aim of the current exploratory study was to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on Dutch adolescents’ mood, empathy, and prosocial behavior in the first weeks of lockdown. Longitudinal analyses comparing pre-pandemic measures to a three-week peri-pandemic daily diary study showed (i) decreases in empathic concern, opportunities for prosocial actions, and tension, (ii) stable levels of social value orientation, altruism, and dire prosociality, and (iii) increased levels of perspective taking and vigor during the first weeks of lockdown. The second aim was to investigate peri-pandemic effects of familiarity, need, and deservedness on giving behavior by utilizing novel hypothetical Dictator Games with ecologically valid targets associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Adolescents showed higher levels of giving to a friend (a familiar other, about 51% of the total share), a doctor in a hospital (deserving target, 78%), and individuals with COVID-19 or a poor immune system (targets in need, 69 and 63%, respectively) compared to an unfamiliar peer (39%). We also tested moderating effects of empathy, contributions to society, and opportunities for prosocial actions on giving. Individuals who showed higher levels of empathic concern, gave more to others, regardless of target. Overall, these results shed new light on adolescence as a crucial period in life for social interactions, and as a phase that is not only characterized by risk factors, but also by resilience and a willingness to meaningfully contribute to others and society.

In an effort to slow down the transmission of COVID-19, countries around the world implemented social distancing and stay-at-home policies—potentially compelling people to rely more on household members for their sense of closeness and belonging. To understand the conditions under which people felt the most connected, we examined whether changes in overall feelings of social connection varied as a function of household size and household composition. In two pre-registered studies, undergraduates in Canada (NStudy 1 = 548) and adults primarily from the U.S. and U.K. (NStudy 2 = 336) reported on their perceived social connection once before and once during the pandemic. In both studies, living with a romantic partner robustly and uniquely buffered shifts in social connection during the first phases of the pandemic (βStudy 1 = .22, βStudy 2 = .16). In contrast, neither household size nor other aspects of household composition predicted changes in connection. We discuss implications for future social distancing policies that aim to balance physical health with psychological health.
Basic statistical considerations for physiology: The journal Temperature toolbox
Authors: Caldwell Aaron R , Cheuvront Samuel
Published: June 2020

The average environmental and occupational physiologist may find statistics are difficult to interpret and use since their formal training in statistics is limited. Unfortunately, poor statistical practices can generate erroneous or at least misleading results and distorts the evidence in the scientific literature. These problems are exacerbated when statistics are used as thoughtless ritual that is performed after the data are collected. The situation is worsened when statistics are then treated as strict judgements about the data (i.e., significant versus non-significant) without a thought given to how these statistics were calculated or their practical meaning. We propose that researchers should consider statistics at every step of the research process whether that be the designing of experiments, collecting data, analysing the data or disseminating the results. When statistics are considered as an integral part of the research process, from start to finish, several problematic practices can be mitigated. Further, proper practices in disseminating the results of a study can greatly improve the quality of the literature. Within this review, we have included a number of reminders and statistical questions researchers should answer throughout the scientific process. Rather than treat statistics as a strict rule following procedure we hope that readers will use this review to stimulate a discussion around their current practices and attempt to improve them.

Design of a Modular Multiplier for Public-Key Cryptography Applications Using Residue Number System and Signed-Digit Representation
Authors: Hizzani Mohammad
Published: June 2020

Public-Key Cryptosystems are prone to wide range of cryptanalyses due to its property of having key pairs one of them is public. Therefore, the recommended length of these keys is extremely large (e.g. in RSA and D-H the key is at least 2048 bits long) and this leads the computation of such cryptosystems to be slower than the secret-key cryptosystems (i.e. AES and AES-family). Since, the key operation in such systems is the modular multiplication; in this research a novel design for the modular multiplication based on the Montgomery Multiplication, the Residue Number Systems for moduli of any form, and the Signed-Digit Representation is proposed. The proposed design outperforms the current designs in the literature in terms of delay with at least 28% faster for the key of 2048 bits long. Up to our knowledge, this design is the first design that utilizes Signed-Digit Representation with the Residue Number System for moduli of any form.

Published: June 2020

The study examines Nigeria challenge of the mono-culture economy due to an overreliance on oil, and coupled with the threat been stranded arising from the global campaign and signed Paris agreement in 2015 is an economic risk that could jeopardize her economic development. Answers to why the manufacturing sector has occupied a peripheral position in the Nigeria’s economic development aspiration question alongside the overarching goal of articulating pragmatic mediums and approaches for revamping the manufacturing industry from the encumbrances hindering its full capacity functioning. This research was undertaken to examine the manufacturing sector as an alternative to Nigeria’s petroleum dependence economy by dissecting its problems and how-to repositioning it for a viable diversification. The ex-post facto research method was adopted using impeccable secondary data sources. Insecurity and poor political governance were among other impediments to the manufacturing optimum performance, and strengthening the political institution for an all-inclusive government, amongst others, is proffered as panacea.
Korzenie pamięci. O Mirabelce Cezarego Harasimowicza
Authors: Kwiatkowska Agnieszka
Published: June 2020

The article attempts to interpret the novel Mirabelle in the light of hauntology, taken from Jacques Derrida’s works, existing in the Polish literary studies first and foremost thanks to the works of Jakub Momro and Andrzej Marzec. Harasimowicz’s novel recounts the history of Warsaw from the 1920s until the present-day period. The mirabelle plum tree growing on one of the backyards in Warsaw tells the story of the following generations of the city dwellers who fade away and fall into oblivion. The Holocaust, depicted in the beginning of the novel, does not, however, become the past. The recollection of the genocide is inscribed in contemporary Warsaw, in the city space and the consciousness of its inhabitants. The phantoms of the former dwellers of Nalewki, the Jewish district in Warsaw, visit their homes, little stores, and workshops, trying to end unfinished businesses and engaging with the representatives of the present-day citizens. The gesture of remembrance, which is the replanting and redeveloping a new mirabelle tree in the place of the damaged one, gives people hope for the restoration of balance and strengthens the bonds between the living and the dead.
Subjetividade e “Deslocamento” na obra homônima de Lucy Knisley
Authors: Do Carmo Moreira Valter
Published: June 2020

In certain way, “displacement” refers to the change. It is the action of a body that moves from a certain space to another. In addition to its obvious physical implications, in the case of human displacement, there are also great subjective implications. In this way, displacement can be of other orders, as symbolic, metaphysical and mental, we can also consider even maturation as the displacement from one psychic state to another. In this case, the present work aims to analyze the different figurations of the concept of displacement present in the work: Displacement — A travelogue by Lucy Knisley, as well as the affiliation of the work to a narrative tradition perpetrated by authors who take the daily genre and the trip report as a means of subjective construction of reality, both in literature and in comics. In order to do so, will be used authors who studied the writing of female authors, having the travel narrative as a research horizon, such as Sonia Serrano and Miriam Adelman; as well as authors who focus on the specificities of the comic language that, under the aegis of “graphic novel”, engender an aesthetic construction that privileges the autobiographical narrative (Santiago Garcia and Hilarry Chute). We intend to highlight the richness that the comics bring to the symbolic construction of the genre “travel diary/narrative” through its peculiarities of self-representation.

Published: June 2020

Cyclophosphamide is chemotherapeutic agent that utilized for the treatment of different malignancies; however its’ used associated with numerous adverse effects. Vitamin B2 and vitamin B12 suggested having myeloprotective effect. This work is designed to investigate the myeloprotective effect of both vitamins against cyclophosphamide induced myelosuppression. One hundred adult rats of both sexes were used in this study. The animals were randomly enrolled into ten groups of 10 rats each. Group I: Control group. Group II: Cyclophosphamide-treated. Group III and Group IV Orally-administered vitamin B2 (10, and 40 mg/kg/day), respectively alone for 7 days. Group V: Orally-administered vitamin B12 (0.1 mg/kg/day) alone for 7 days. Group VI and Group VII: Orally-administered vitamin B2 (10, and 40 mg/kg/day), respectively for 7 days and a single IP injection of cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg) at day 7.Group VIII: Orally-administered vitamin B12 (0.1 mg/kg/day) for 7 days and a single IP injection of cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg) at day 7. Group IX: Orally-administered a combination of vitamin B2 (10 mg/kg/day) and vitamin B12 (0.1 mg/kg/day) for 7 days and a single IP injection of cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg) at day 7. Group X: orally-administered a combination of vitamin B2 (40 mg/kg/day) and vitamin B12 (0.1 mg/kg/day) for 7 days and a single IP injection of cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg) at day 7. On day eight, animals were sacrificed and blood collected for CBCs and femur bone were extracted for bone marrow histological examination. Vitamin B2 and vitamin B12 significantly (P<0.05) increase CBCs; and the combination of vitamins produce -a significant (P<0.05) increase in CBCs compared to corresponding counts in other Groups, and -improve histopathological changes compared to Group II rats. In conclusion both vitamins may have myeloprotective effects against cyclophosphamide-induced myelosuppression.
