Paleobathymetric Determination of Klasafet Formation Based on Small Foraminifera Content of Klamono District, Klamono Area, Sorong Regency, West Papua
Authors: Somba S.L.
Published: March 2023

Paleobathymetry study of the Klasafet Formation has been conducted in the Salawati area using outcrop data around its type location in the Klasafet River. Aim of the study is to reconstruct bathymetry (water depth) at the time of its deposition, which is range from Early Miocene to Early Pliocene. The research area is located in the Klamono Area, Klamono District, Sorong Regency, West Papua Province with coordinates of 131°28'37"-131°31'13" East and 01°06'53"-01°09'15" South. Outcrop sample have been collected in five locations namely as DS1, DS2, DS3, DS4, and DS5, with three measured sections have been carried out in DS1, DS2, and DS4. Systematic method of sampling has been applied in those five locations to obtain representative sample from top, middle, and bottom part of the outcrop. Paleobathymetry determination in this study has been taken quantitatively using ratio of planktonic and benthonic foraminifera. The result shows the Klasafet Formation in the research area was deposited in the middle neritic to upper bathyal environment (20-100 m) during Middle Pliocene age, and likely part of the Salawati Basin.
Integrating Sedimentology and Petrography With Rock Typing and Flow Units: Implications for Low Contrast and Low Resistivity Reservoir Characterization
Authors: Surbakti A.F.H
Published: March 2023

The South Sumatra Basin is renowned as a prolific hydrocarbon area since the early era of oil. Resource discovery has declined since the early 21st century. The Talang Akar Formation (TAF) has been massively explored to seek new potential resources. There is an opportunity to look into more detail on the low contrast low resistivity (LCLR) part, which is included as the upper part of TAF. This study will provide an analogue model of the flow unit from outcropped TAF rocks in Air Batu regency. Field observations include outcrop modeling to capture sedimentation patterns, sampling on selected layers for petrographic purposes, facies characterization, geometry measurements from channel deposits, and flow unit modeling. We observed five facies’ associations, which are: transverse bar (Sp); overbank deposit (Fm); dunes (St); planar bed flow (Sh); ripples (Sr); and debris flow deposit (Gms). Petrographic analysis revealed that the samples have a laminar and dispersed shale distribution. The LCLR reservoir detects and controls porosity and pore size ranging from poor to excellent, as well as grain contact. The difference in the facies is any kind of porosity. The facies of transverse bar, dunes, and ripples show very good to excellent porosity with low shale content and are characterized as high-flow units. Yet, the other facies show medium percentage porosity but the interconnection between pores is poor to good, and these have medium to low-flow units.

O III SINEPLA propiciou oportunidades de reflexão acerca do ensino, da avaliação e da formação de professores de PLA em diferentes
contextos, em especial, nesta edição, relacionando essas temáticas com uma perspectiva pluricêntrica da língua portuguesa. Como se pode
ver nos capítulos deste livro, que representam parte das apresentações e dos debates ocorridos nos três dias do evento, as discussões versaram
sobre o ensino de PLA para fins e públicos específicos, a reflexão linguística, a formação de professores, o uso de textos literários em aulas
de PLA e o exame Celpe-Bras. No contexto acadêmico e político contemporâneo em que se celebra a adoção de uma perspectiva de Português como língua pluricêntrica e cientes dos diferentes posicionamentos acerca do uso desse conceito pelos profissionais da linguagem, entendemos que o debate deva seguir ampliando a compreensão da complexidade de fatores envolvidos na nomeação das línguas com as quais trabalhamos e nas possíveis implicações de seu uso. É fundamental que possamos compreender as ideologias de linguagem que sustentam nossas práticas e estarmos atentos aos interesses dos projetos educacionais aos quais nos filiamos.

Published: March 2023

La decisión de escoger una carrera universitaria depende de múltiples factores. En particular, decidir ingresar a estudiar una carrera de pedagogía conlleva una serie de motivos influenciados por creencias, requisitos en el acceso y estatus de la profesión. Este estudio tiene por objetivo describir las motivaciones que poseen los futuros profesores(as) para estudiar carreras de pedagogía. Para ello se efectuó u na búsqueda de textos académicos publicados entre los años 2010 y 2021 presentes en las bases de d atos EBSCO host, que contengan los conceptos tanto en inglés como en español: “teacher”, “career choice” y “education”. Los resultados de este estudio señalan que existe un predominio de investigaciones con enfoque cuantitativo, donde la técnica más utilizada es el cuestionario y las escalas; mientras que en segundo lugar se utiliza la entrevista semiestructurada. Finalmente, el estudio concluye que existe un uso generalizado de un marco teórico, proveniente de la psicología de la autodeterminación, y la teoría expectativa-valor en las investigaciones. Por otro lado, existe una tendencia en el uso de diseños de investigación descriptivos y preferentemente exploratorios y un escaso uso de estudios longitudinales.

Tröstliche Tropen
Authors: Fetscher Caroline
Published: March 2023

Albert Schweitzer war eine Kultfigur, ein ethischer Popstar der jungen Bundesrepublik. Tausende Schulkinder schrieben Briefe an den »Urwalddoktor«, hunderte Straßen wurden nach ihm benannt. Sein legendäres Spital »Lambarene« in Afrika avancierte zum symbolisch aufgeladenen Ort eines Heilungsgeschehens. Exemplarisch zeigt sich gerade am Mythos von »Lambarene« eine Suche nach der Bewältigung untilgbarer Schuld, entstanden durch die Shoah. Caroline Fetscher beleuchtet diesen zentralen Aspekt der Großgruppenpsyche der Bundesdeutschen nach 1945 (Teil I). Im Kontrast dazu erkundet die Autorin das reale, zeithistorische Lambaréné in Äquatorialafrika (Teil II). Erst die postkoloniale Perspektive offenbart vollends die Kluft zwischen Fiktion und Faktizität. Deutlich wird die enorme Dynamik der Projektionen auf ein imaginäres Afrika.
Die vergessenen Säuglingsheime
Authors: Berth Felix
Published: March 2023

Das Säuglingsheim ist eine vergessene Institution der beiden deutschen Staaten. Häufiger als bisher angenommen waren Babys und Kleinkinder in der Nachkriegszeit dort untergebracht, manche monate- oder sogar jahrelang. Die Lebensbedingungen beeinträchtigten die kindliche Entwicklung massiv, was die damalige psychologische und psychoanalytische Forschung bald als Hospitalismus beschrieb. In der Bundesrepublik wurden die Heime deshalb in den sechziger Jahren aufgelöst; in der DDR wurden diese Erkenntnisse zunächst ebenfalls wahrgenommen, allerdings interessierten sich die Behörden nach dem Bau der Mauer 1961 nicht mehr dafür. Säuglingsheime existierten dort bis zum Jahr 1989. Die Einweisungskriterien waren nicht präzise festgelegt, was den Behörden große Handlungsspielräume gab; entsprechend stark wirkten sich auch die damaligen Moralvorstellungen aus. So waren es häufig Kinder von alleinerziehenden Müttern, von kranken oder misshandelnden Eltern, die in die Heime kamen. Weil sich die Betroffenen nicht oder nur stark eingeschränkt an ihre Zeit in den Heimen erinnern können, rekonstruiert Felix Berth anhand von Archivmaterial und damaligen wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen die Lebensbedingungen in den Säuglingsheimen. Betroffene kommen in Interviews zu Wort und schildern ihre heutige Sicht auf die Zeit im Heim.

Introducción. La investigación quirúrgica es uno de los pilares de la cirugía académica, que integra el microambiente para lograr una adecuada práctica basada en la evidencia, realizar planteamientos y conseguir eventuales soluciones a necesidades quirúrgicas de una población. En el caribe colombiano existen brechas significativas en cuanto al aporte en investigación quirúrgica, comparado con otras regiones del país. Por ende, es necesaria una iniciativa que haga frente a estos retos.
Métodos. El Grupo Colaborativo de Investigación en Cirugía General y Subespecialidades del Caribe Colombiano (GRINCIRCAR), es una iniciativa fundada por una colectividad de estudiantes de medicina, médicos residentes de cirugía y cirujanos académicos de universidades del caribe colombiano, que buscan impulsar la investigación quirúrgica y aportar a la resolución de problemas de salud en cirugía de la región.
Discusión. De acuerdo al programa de investigación con políticas y prioridades en salud establecidos por el Instituto Nacional de Salud, existen por lo menos dos dimensiones donde se involucra directamente la cirugía. A pesar de esto, no existen datos sobre la distribución de recursos para la investigación quirúrgica en la región del Caribe colombiano, pese a que el acceso al cuidado quirúrgico básico y las enfermedades quirúrgicas, hace parte de las prioridades en salud y cirugía global.
Conclusiones. Se necesita promover la cirugía académica y la investigación quirúrgica en la región del caribe colombiano. La investigación colaborativa podría ser una solución al integrar la participación de múltiples centros y participantes.
Ceilings Made of Glass and Leaving En Masse? Examining Superintendent Gender Gaps and Turnover Over Time Across the United States
Authors: White Rachel S.
Published: March 2023

Given that a national superintendent dataset has never existed, claims about superintendent turnover and gender gaps have traditionally been based on conjecture or data from a single year and small sample of superintendents. Utilizing a new dataset of all K–12 public school district superintendents in the United States across four school years, this study explores how the superintendent gender gap and turnover have changed over time and across states and district types. Analyses reveal that superintendent turnover has increased, particularly among men, and the superintendent gender gap has marginally narrowed. Although men are increasingly turning over, women are seldom filling those positions—a necessity if the superintendent gender gap is to narrow. State and district analyses are presented, as well as discussion of the implications of the findings and the power of a longitudinal superintendent dataset.

Published: March 2023

A thermodynamic criterion – surface activity – is proposed in order to describe the reactivity of powder materials obtained by mechanical grinding. It is shown that there is a functional relationship between the surface activity calculated from the specific surface values of powder materials determined by gas trapping method and the specific surface of these systems determined by gas permeability method, which allows us to conclude about the effectiveness of mechanical activation of raw materials systems.
Mitochondrial Coenzyme Q Redox Homeostasis and Reactive Oxygen Species Production
Authors: Jarmuszkiewicz Wieslawa , Dominiak Karolina , Budzinska Adrianna , Wojcicki Krzysztof , Galganski Lukasz
Published: March 2023

Mitochondrial coenzyme Q (mtQ) of the inner mitochondrial membrane is a redox active mobile carrier in the respiratory chain that transfers electrons between reducing dehydrogenases and oxidizing pathway(s). mtQ is also involved in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) formation through the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Some mtQ-binding sites related to the respiratory chain can directly form the superoxide anion from semiubiquinone radicals. On the other hand, reduced mtQ (ubiquinol, mtQH2) recycles other antioxidants and directly acts on free radicals, preventing oxidative modifications. The redox state of the mtQ pool is a central bioenergetic patameter that alters in response to changes in mitochondrial function. It reflects mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and mtROS formation level, and thus the oxidative stress associated with the mitochondria. Surprisingly, there are few studies describing a direct relationship between the mtQ redox state and mtROS production under physiological and pathological conditions. Here, we provide a first overview of what is known about the factors affecting mtQ redox homeostasis and its relationship to mtROS production. We have proposed that the level of reduction (the endogenous redox state) of mtQ may be a useful indirect marker to assess total mtROS formation. A higher mtQ reduction level (mtQH2/mtQtotal) indicates greater mtROS formation. The mtQ reduction level, and thus the mtROS formation, depends on the size of the mtQ pool and the activity of the mtQ-reducing and mtQH2-oxidizing pathway(s) of respiratory chain. We focus on a number of physiological and pathophysiological factors affecting the amount of mtQ and thus its redox homeostasis and mtROS production level.

Published: March 2023

Coronary artery disease (CAD), caused by coronary artery occlusion, is a common cardiovascular disease worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in the regulation of endothelial cell injury, angiogenesis, plaque formation, and other pathological mechanisms in CAD by acting on different cell types. Some lncRNAs are significantly upregulated in CAD patients; however, other lncRNAs are significantly downregulated. Differential expression of lncRNAs in CAD patients enables them to be exploited as potential biomarkers to evaluate disease progression and diagnosis/prognosis in CAD patients. In this study, we reviewed the role of lncRNAs in the development of different clinical subtypes of CAD.
Preoperative Stress Testing before Non-Cardiac Surgery
Authors: Dzhioeva Olga , Tadic Marijana , Belyavskiy Evgeny
Published: March 2023

The current guidelines from various medical societies provide a good summary of data regarding various preoperative exercise tests in patients prior to non-cardiac surgical interventions. However, there is no consensus among experts on the appropriateness of these methods for identifying risk groups for potential perioperative complications. A large volume of published studies describes the role of preoperative exercise stress testing impact in improving the prediction of potential cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients after non-cardiac surgery. Numerous stress tests are available in clinical practice, and the methods used and the best choice depends on the purpose of the study and the availability of equipment in the hospital. Traditionally, the value of exercise electrocardiography (ECG), or ECG stress test, has been based on the belief that it is beneficial for perioperative cardiac risk prediction. However, in the past two decades, the key role of this method has lost its importance due to the growing trend toward the use of imaging techniques. Moreover, in light of current trends, the six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a helpful tool in preoperative assessment and plays an important role in postoperative rehabilitation. Interestingly, the recent finding showed how 6MWT affects the risk of postoperative complications. Cardiopulmonary testing, as a dynamic clinical tool, determines the cardiorespiratory status of a patient. Various clinical indications for cardiopulmonary exercise testing include evaluation of therapy, stratification of risk factors, diagnosis of disease, and control of physical activity. Stress testing is one of the most practical ways of predicting perioperative risk and managing patients. This test is based on ischemia provoked by pharmacological agents or exercise. There is no established evidence of a significant advantage of pharmacological stress over exercise stress imaging in subjects who are capable enough to be physically active. All of these studies examined a stress test for induced myocardial ischemia. Currently, there are no data on the use of ischaemic stress tests, especially diastolic stress tests, in the assessment of perioperative risk before non-cardiac surgical interventions. We consider it promising and essential to continue research in this direction in patients with coronary heart disease and other categories of cardiac patients, in particular, comorbid and low-symptomatic individuals, before elective high-risk surgical interventions.
Supervisão clínica em promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens: Uma revisão narrativa
Authors: Coelho Carolina Vanessa Gomes , Pereira Dora , Alarcão Madalena
Published: March 2023

Contexto: As especificidades dos sistemas de promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens exercem um grande impacto no profissional e, consequentemente, no trabalho com as famílias, pelo que a supervisão clínica se constitui como um forte aliado na promoção do bem-estar e proficiência dos profissionais. Objetivo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre a adequabilidade dos modelos de supervisão às especificidades do contexto de promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens, tendo em conta as funções de supervisão, modelos de supervisão e desafios do contexto. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa através da pesquisa de palavras-chave, leitura dos resumos de artigos encontrados e posterior leitura na integra dos artigos que se adequaram ao tema definido. Foram analisados artigos sobre supervisão e supervisão clínica em contextos sociais e de promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens. Resultados: Predomina a utilização de um modelo de supervisão de abordagem única ou de modelos ecléticos com abordagens teóricas divergentes entre si e que não atendem à complexidade dos sistemas familiares sinalizados. Conclusões: Defende-se um modelo com um referencial de leitura integrativo, mas, fundamentalmente, apoiado numa visão ecossistémica do mal trato da criança e do funcionamento familiar, que tenha conhecimento dos procedimentos da instituição e que promova um apoio efetivo ao profissional. Mais estudos devem ser realizados tendo em vista avaliar a influência efetiva da supervisão na prática do profissional com as famílias e a identificação das caraterísticas dos modelos que os tornam eficazes em promoção e proteção.
Halal tourism in social science discipline: A literature review
Authors: Rahmat Al Fauzi
Published: March 2023

Halal tourism is a new segment in tourism studies that have received attention and has now proliferated. Past studies have not been so deep in treading global scientific literature on halal tourism studies on tracking its evolution and trends among scientific journal which focuses on social science discipline. Therefore, this article is based on a systematic literature review analysis of halal tourism in social science discipline as an effort to improve our understanding of previous halal tourism studies. Data were obtained from the academic database Scopus, 31 articles were obtained about halal tourism in social science discipline, and the data period was collected from the beginning to the end of 2020. The data is illustrated using two applications, namely NVIVO and VOSViewer, as the primary tools for analyze qualitative data, which selected; (VOSViewer; Keyword Co-occurrence Network Maps and Trend (KCNM/T)), (NVIVO; Hierarchy Chart (HC), word frequencies (WF), and Explore Diagram Analysis (EDA)). The results showed that, from 31 journals, Stephenson (2014) has the most influence with high cited, besides, Tourism Management as a journal name that identified many articles published there, and Routledge as a publisher with a high total journal on Halal Tourism, and Indonesia as a country that high mention time. Specifically, various approaches and distributions based on methodology, objectives, and geography were the research's focus. Recent trends and the dominant frequency of words from the study of halal tourism have shown several scholars' high interest. In the halal tourism studies on social sciences discipline, previous scholars have carried out many different research segments, namely, tourism issues, product issues, destination issues, travel issues, service issues, and market issues. Future research is also considered in this article.
Effects of 1 Hz offline TMS on performance in the stop-signal game

Published: March 2023

Stopping an already initiated action is crucial for human everyday behavior and empirical evidence points toward the prefrontal cortex playing a key role in response inhibition. Two regions that have been consistently implicated in response inhibition are the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the more superior region of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The present study investigated the effect of offline 1 Hz transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the right IFG and DLPFC on performance in a gamified stop-signal task (SSG). We hypothesized that perturbing each area would decrease performance in the SSG, albeit with a quantitative difference in the performance decrease after stimulation. After offline TMS, functional short-term reorganization is possible, and the domain-general area (i.e., the right DLPFC) might be able to compensate for the perturbation of the domain-specific area (i.e., the right IFG). Results showed that 1 Hz offline TMS over the right DLPFC and the right IFG at 110% intensity of the resting motor threshold had no effect on performance in the SSG. In fact, evidence in favor of the null hypothesis was found. One theoretically intriguing interpretation of this result is that within-network compensation was triggered, canceling out the potential TMS effects as has been suggested in recent theorizing on TMS effects. This interpretation is particularly intriguing given that our task was closer to a real-life situation due to its increased complexity as compared to the standard stop-signal task version.

Bencana hidrometeorologi yang sering terjadi di Indonesia adalah banjir, tanah longsor dan aliran debris akibat hujan lebat, gelombang tinggi, kebakaran hutan dan lahan, kekeringan, serta cuaca ekstrim seperti angin puting beliung maupun siklon tropis. Selama 20 tahun terakhir, setidaknya terdapat rata-rata 42 kematian per 1,000,000 populasi akibat banjir di Indonesia. Sebagai negara kepulauan yang berada di Daerah Konvergensi Antar Tropik (DKAT), Indonesia memiliki kondisi iklim dan cuaca yang sangat kompleks dan dinamis. Berkurangnya wilayah resapan dan proyeksi peningkatan intensitas cuaca ekstrim dan frekuensi banjir sebagai dampak perubahan iklim, semakin menambah kekhawatiran terhadap risiko iklim dan cuaca. Tahun 2021, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) bahkan tidak berdaya menghadapi siklon tropis Seroja. Sebanyak 67.1% dari Produk Domestik Bruto di Indonesia dihasilkan dari sektor yang tergantung kepada cuaca dan iklim dengan pertanian adalah sektor peringkat pertama. Dampak bencana hidrometeorologi pada sektor pertanian dapat berupa penurunan luasan area lahan produktif, gangguan dalam operasional serta kerusakan jaringan irigasi, bendungan, dan infrastruktur pertanian lainnya atau secara tidak langsung akibat kenaikan harga komoditi pertanian di pasar setelah bencana terjadi.

Effect of Sleep duration on reaction time
Authors: Mikhail
Published: March 2023

Sleep is a very important process, which helps to encode and store all the information and memories obtained during the day and to recover mental activity. Sleep function is closely related to the Sleep Cycle, containing two main parts: rapid eye movement (REM), which is also named active sleep; and no rapid eye movement (NREM), which is defined as deep sleep. The first REM period may be less than 10 minutes in duration, while the last one may exceed 60 minutes. Awakening after a full night’s sleep is usually from REM sleep. The sleep pattern changes as the child grows. Polycyclic sleep pattern of the newborn changes to a monocyclic adult pattern. In newborns, the total sleep duration can be 14 to 16 hours, in a day of 24 hours. According to the Cleveland Clinic, lack of sleep can result in short – term and long – term problems. Short – term problems include lack of alertness, excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired memory and stress, whereas longitude lack of sleep can result in high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure or stroke.
Spurious prospective associations between unemployment and wellbeing: Reanalysis of a meta-analytic cross-lagged panel analysis
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Melin Bo
Published: March 2023

A recent meta-analytic cross-lagged panel analysis proposed that wellbeing and unemployment had reciprocal prospective effects on each other. However, it is known that cross-lagged effects on subsequent measures of an outcome variable while adjusting for prior measurements of the outcome may be spurious due to correlations with residuals and regression to the mean rather than due to true increasing or decreasing effects. The present reanalyses of the same meta-analytic data as in the challenged study found the cross-lagged effects between unemployment and wellbeing to be spurious. Cross-lagged effects while adjusting for an initial score on the outcome often do not prove anything over and above a cross-sectional correlation, which may be due to confounding, combined with less than perfect reliability in measurements. This limitation is important for researchers to bear in mind in order not to overinterpret findings.

The study introduces a chatbot system, entitled aiCARE, whose framework supports Likert-based screening for mental disorders. The goals were to accurately interpret users' free-text responses and correctly identify the corresponding Likert answer, reduce the frequency of sub-dialogues to clarify responses, and evaluate the chatbot's usability. The chatbot was trained on data collected in a non-AI phase (Phase 1; N = 274; Mage = 21.86, SD = 5.50, 67.8% women) and later tested in an AI-assisted data phase (Phase 2; N = 587; Mage = 21.56, SD = 5.56, 67.8% women). The performance of the AI models was high in all three surveys on which it was tested (i.e., The Patient Health Questionnaire - 9, General Anxiety Disorder - 7, The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist), F1 ranged from 0.70 to 0.73. The interaction between the conversational agent and the user was smooth at Phase 2, only in 4.64% of the cases the chatbot asked for clarifications. Moreover, the AI understood the responses that it received in 85.63% of the cases and was able to interpret free-text responses similar to human annotators with a Cohen's k varying from .76 to .85. The usability of the chatbot, measured with the Chatbot Usability Questionnaire, was optimal. In contrast to the training phase, the chatbot in Phase 2 was perceived as more engaging, less robotic, friendlier, easier to use, and as handling errors well, which could be indirectly due to the higher autonomy provided by the AI component. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
‘If Hindustan will not care for Hindus, where will they go?’: imagined territory and constructions of Indian citizenship
Authors: Sambaraju Rahul , Roy Suryapratim
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we examine practices of negotiating citizenship in reference to constructions of territory. While much research in social psychology has examined constructions of nations, identities, and belonging in reference to place, these have not engaged with issues around legitimacy of recognizing and realizing these claims. Our examination focuses on possibilities for and legitimacy of recognizing and realizing claims of belonging and citizenship through an explicit focus on territory. We examine debates on citizenship in two momentous occasions for India: the drafting of India’s constitution (1946-50) and the Citizen Amendment Act 2019. Discursive analysis of these debates shows that claims to citizenship and/or belonging, Indianness, and appropriate actions from the Indian state were constructed in reference to various aspects of territory: India, Pakistan, the Partition, and the timeless Bharat. Further, these constructions suggested alternative territoriality to overcome deficits in current conceptions of the Indian state. We argue that the alternative is an imagined territory of Hindu Rasthra where those who are Hindus and other non-Muslims have privileged citizenship and claims over the Indian territory over Muslim others.

Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) experience fewer positive and more negative emotions and use fewer positive words to describe themselves. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques have been used to predict depression, with pronoun and emotion usage being identified as important features. However, it is unclear how depressed individuals use positive and negative words when writing about themselves. Individuals with MDD (N=258) completed ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) three times a day (including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and a free-text diary entry) and weekly EMAs (including a free-text response to a life events prompt) over a 90-day study period. Using NLP techniques, we generated 20 model features to detect and predict average weekly depression from diary entries. Two regression models detected and predicted total PHQ-9 and two classification models detected and predicted moderate to severe depression. The models classified current (AUC=0.68) and future depression (AUC=0.63), and suggest that lower valence increased usage of “I”/“me”/“my”, and lower valence of passages with “I”/“me” as the subject, influenced model predictions towards more severe depression, supporting prior research. These findings highlight that depressed individuals use less positive and more negative words when referring to themselves. Treatments targeting positive affect and digital interventions that written components may be beneficial for targeting MDD.
Going Rogue: Independent Grand Juries Throughout America
Authors: Monea Nino C.
Published: March 2023

Grand juries today do little more than passively approve (almost never disapprove) indictments proposed by prosecutors. But this stands in stark contrast to grand juries in the past. They investigated cases themselves and their purview went well beyond criminal matters. This Article looks in-depth at three historical cases where grand juries not only conducted major investigations but took on major additional roles. They ousted corrupt public officials, ran their cities in the interim, or booted prosecutors that failed to do their jobs. These examples demonstrate that grand juries in modern society could have a more robust role in the justice system.
Augmented reality as a Thirdspace: Simultaneous experience of the physical and virtual
Authors: Eagle Rob
Published: March 2023

With the proliferation of devices that display augmented reality (AR), now is the time for scholars and practitioners to evaluate and engage critically with emerging applications of the medium. AR mediates the way users see their bodies, hear their environment and engage with places. Applied in various forms, including social media, e-commerce, gaming, enterprise and art, the medium facilitates a hybrid experience of physical and digital spaces. This article employs a model of real-and-imagined space from geographer Edward Soja to examine how the user of an AR app navigates the two inter-twined spaces of physical and digital, experiencing what Soja calls a 'Third-space'. The article illustrates the potential for headset-based AR to engender such a Thirdspace through the author's practice-led research project, the installation Through the Wardrobe. This installation demonstrates how AR has the potential to shift the way that users view and interact with their world with artistic applications providing an opportunity to question assumptions of social norms, identity and uses of physical space.
