Formation elemental composition and mineralogy measurements, including organic carbon from recently developed spectroscopy tools, provide critical information for formation evaluation in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. These measurements can be obtained under conditions by using a slim pulsed-neutron tool with two spectroscopy detectors. One primary limitation is that users must manually provide offsets for the elements (silicon (Si), calcium (Ca), and iron (Fe)) present in casing and cement before performing the oxide closure computation to obtain elemental concentrations. This process is time consuming, and the results could be inaccurate and subjective, especially without any local reference. Another limitation is that the formation element signals are smaller in cased hole than in open hole. This increases the noise in the oxide closure-derived environmental yield-to-weight normalization factor (FY2W), which is propagated to all the elemental weight fractions. A self-compensated spectroscopy algorithm was developed to overcome these two limitations. The key breakthrough is the use of raw measurements with very high precision from the two spectroscopy detectors to predict FY2Ws instead of using the oxide closure or inelastic capture (INCP) closure methods. The capture FY2W is mainly determined by the borehole and formation sigma. It can be characterized by using multiple measured apparent sigma values in different timing gates from multiple detectors, which have different sensitivities to borehole and formation sigma. The inelastic FY2W is mainly determined by the borehole and formation geometry and hydrogen index. It can be characterized by using count rate ratios in both burst-on (inelastic) and burst-off (capture) timing gates from multiple detectors. This method reduces the noise in the FY2Ws by an order of magnitude, which improves the precision of all the final elemental weight fractions. Two independent sets of apparent elemental weight fractions can be calculated from the two spectroscopy detectors. The measured elements from the detector with shorter spacing are more sensitive to the borehole environment, including the casing and cement, whereas the ones from the detector farther away are more sensitive to the formation. This enables self-compensation for casing and cement effects. The new processing can be done without user intervention and results in a more accurate, more precise, and less subjective elemental composition and mineralogy. More than 1,600 laboratory measurements in different conditions were used to characterize the algorithm. Several log examples demonstrate the excellent performance of the new compensated spectroscopy measurements.
An interdisciplinary learning approach to ecological business
Authors: Valentukevičienė Marina , Valatka Vytis
Published: November 2020

It is a widely held view among educationists that the most effective way to facilitate a holistic learning approach is to present visual, ready-to-use, practical examples. Thus, our study follows the general scope of the course “Socially responsible ecological business”, which is currently offered to master students at the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU). We contend that teaching materials should be presented visually using case studies and examples. Indeed, simple guidance is one of the vital learning tools for students. Accordingly, and in line with the aims of the course, the observations and experience of differences in global culture and our inclusion of a wide range of ecological examples were central to the design of our international case study. In particular, students found the case study on ecological business both useful and applicable in the real world.
Home Court Advantage in Basketball – A Case Study of Žalgiris Kaunas Basketball Team
Authors: Gobikas Mindaugas , Radu Alexandru , Miklovas Jonas
Published: November 2020

The actual venue where a basketball game is played needs to be considered (Volossovitch 2017) when looking at the effectiveness of a team’s performance playing in front of home crowd. Clarke (2005), Gomez and Pollard (2011) and Bray and Widmeyer (2008) explored the home court advantage topic and argued that this exists and is influenced by various factors (such as familiarity with environment, crowd support and loud arena, shooting percentages, absence of travel, etc.). A top division professional basketball team from Lithuania (Žalgiris Kaunas) was selected for this study using a convenience sample method (Veal and Darcy 2014). A case study approach (which incorporated comparisons between and an analysis of certain statistical categories such as: points scored per game; points allowed per game; free throws – made and attempted per game; 3 points shots – made and attempted; assists and turnovers) were used as part of this investigation into Žalgiris Kaunas basketball team and the games they played at home during 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 seasons. From a methodological point of view, a three stage approach was employed. First stage was an exploratory analysis of relevant data available in the public domain for the selected team /club. Second stage comprised of an initial analysis that consisted of statistical calculations (averages per game and per season) and comparisons between Žalgiris Kaunas and their opponents while a discussion and concluding analysis – as a third stage – was drawn by interpretation of data. Similar to findings from literature, playing at home in front of full capacity crowd was beneficial for Žalgiris Kaunas as their performances improved for the statistical categories previously mentioned, alongside with being victorious in 11 out of the 19 home games that were scrutinised for the purpose of the research. Keywords: home court advantage, basketball performance indicators, basketball analytics, attendance, Žalgiris Kaunas

Authors: Pochukalin A. Ye. , Pryima S. V. , Rizun O. V.
Published: November 2020

The Lebedyn breed of the combined direction of productivity was used for improvement of economically useful signs, especially milk productivity of cows of Brown Carpathian breed. Both breeds belong to the dual-purpose direction of productivity, they are adapted to the natural and climatic zones of breeding and "belong" to a related group of brown breeds.

The largest related group of the Brown Carpathian breed are the descendants of the bull Rupora 6507, to which the "single crossing" of the Lebedyn breed of the dual-purpose direction of productivity was carried out. In addition, the following servicing bulls of the Lebedyn breed were used to improve the economically useful characteristics of the Brown Carpathian breed: Tuman 779 Shafran 2012, Henii 958, Kokos 923 (related group of Elbrus 1871) Zhdanyi 035, Limonad 2188, (line of Narzan 937) Landysh 2012 (related group of Rolik 113) Minus 1353 (line of Fordzon-Mylyi 290). The Lebedyn breed has played an important role in strengthening the productive characteristics of Brown Carpathian breed and expanding its genealogical structure.
Research in the Classroom: Introducing Nanomaterials at a Two-Year College
Authors: Kim Jihyun , Roth Christopher , Zhang Sheng
Published: November 2020

This article illustrates how the authors transformed “research in the classroom” into chemistry courses at a two-year college in the form of short course-based research experience. The students worked in groups to research nanomaterials, came up with a series of carbon nanoparticles precursors from waste materials, and developed simple and cost-effective methods to produce carbon nanoparticles. Not surprisingly, students became more active learners as they were in charge of learning, and were given authority to modify lab activities with their learning experience progressing. A deeper approach to learning helped students better appreciate chemical sciences, increase conceptual learning, and become responsible citizens. The project also provided a platform to discuss sustainability, green chemistry, and nanomaterials. To increase the efforts for student success, academic technologies were utilized to aid the project.

Cooptation in Practice: Measuring Legislative Opposition in an Authoritarian Regime
Authors: Tavana Daniel L , York Erin
Published: November 2020

Canonical theories of legislative institutions in authoritarian regimes highlight the role of oppositions in legitimizing non-democratic rule, shaping the autocrat's policy agenda, and extracting concessions. Despite recent advances in understanding how oppositions shape larger, macro-level outcomes, surprisingly little attention has been given to the question of how legislators behave in office and how the regime manages potential opposition. In this paper, we construct a novel dataset of roll call vote records spanning the entirety of Kuwaiti legislative history---more than 150,000 votes over 53 years. We use this to develop a new method for measuring legislative opposition to and cooperation with an authoritarian regime on substantive policy issues. We then test the effectiveness of regime strategies---rents and policy concessions---for coopting potential opposition and examine the circumstances under which these these strategies are used.
TNFSF8 (CD153 / CD30L) is differentially expressed in the primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeted against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is utilized for the treatment of human breast cancer (1, 2), but a complete understanding of how tumor signal transduction is modulated by trastuzumab treatment is lacking. By mining published and public microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) from the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, we found that TNFSF8, also known as CD153 and CD30 ligand (CD30L) was among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. TNFSF8 messenger RNA expression was significantly enhanced in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. Thus, trastuzumab treatment in patients with breast cancer is associated with increased expression, in primary tumors of the breast, of a marker with broad expression in multiple human cancers of the hematopoietic system (5, 6), and with the capacity to regulate immunoglobulin class switching (7).

Sejarah adalah produk intelektual manusia. Ia adalah hasil kreasi yang tidak sepi dari kepentingan, motif ideologis dan pilihan-pilihan penulisnya yang merefleksikan afiliasi nasionalisme, primordialisme dan bahkan menonjolkan shaufinisme. Dari titik ini, para ilmuan dan filosuf meragukan sejarah sebagai sebuah ilmu. Mereka mengidentifikasi sejarah sebagai karya fiksi yang tidak dapat menawarkan obyektifitas. Namun dalam perkembangannya, penulisan sejarah juga mengikuti kriteria dan metode ilmiah yang kaku dan mengadopsi berbagai pendekatan ilmu-ilmu sosial. Sehingga fenomena ini, kemudian mengantarkan penerimaan sejarah sebagai disiplin ilmu.Dalam penulisan karya sejarah Islam setidaknya terdapat dua orientasi : pertama orientasi lama yang lebih menyoroti aspek politik, kedua orientasi baru yang cenderung melihat berbagai aspek sosial-kesejarahan, baik politik, keagamaan, peradaban, maupun kemasyarakatan. Islam mempunyai sumber ajaran yang mana berupa Al-Qur’an dan hadis Nabi s.a.w ini merupakan suatu bukti bahwa sejarah itu harus kita pelajari terlebih dalam memahami sunah,risalah dan dakwah Rasulullah s.a.w. karena banyak peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi dimasa Rasulullah. Fokus dakwah Rasulullah adalah mengajarkan syariat Islam dan hukum Islam. Adapun implikasi dari pembahasan sejarah Islam periode Mekkah dan Madinah, sebagai berikut: a) Memahami Islam sebagai sebuah rahmatan lil alamin (rahmat bagi seluruh alam); dan b) Memahami Islam sebagai agama yang cinta toleransi, sebagaimana pada peristiwa Fathul Makkah Rasulullah saw masih mengahargai orang-orang penyembah berhala.Kata kunci : Sejarah, Dakwah, Rasulullah s.a.w

Cascadia megathrust earthquake rupture model constrained by geodetic fault locking
Authors: Li Duo , Liu Yajing
Published: November 2020

Paleo-earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone inferred from offshore sediments and Japan coastal tsunami deposits approximated to M9+ and ruptured the entire margin. However, due to the lack of modern megathrust earthquake records and generally quiescence of subduction fault seismicity, the potential megathrust rupture scenario and influence of downdip limit of the seismogenic zone are still obscure. In this study we present a numerical simulation of Cascadia subduction zone earthquake sequences in the laboratory-derived rate-and-state friction framework to investigate the potential influence of the geodetic fault locking on the megathrust sequences. We consider the rate-state friction stability parameter constrained by geodetic fault locking models derived from decadal GPS records, tidal gauge, and leveling-derived uplift rate data along the Cascadia margin. We incorporate historical coseismic subsidence inferred from coastal marine sediments to validate our coseismic rupture scenarios. Earthquake rupture pattern is strongly controlled by the downdip width of the seismogenic, velocity-weakening zone, and by the earthquake nucleation zone size. In our model, along-strike heterogeneous characteristic slip distance is required to generate margin-wide ruptures that result in reasonable agreement between the synthetic and observed coastal subsidence for the A.D. 1700 Cascadia Mw~9.0 megathrust rupture. Our results suggest geodetically inferred fault locking model can provide a useful constraint on earthquake rupture scenarios in subduction zones.
What Do Meditators Do When They Meditate? Proposing a Novel Basis for Future Meditation Research
Authors: Matko Karin , Ott Ulrich , Sedlmeier Peter
Published: November 2020

Meditation is an umbrella term for a vast range of contemplative practices. Former proposals have struggled to do justice to this diversity. To our knowledge, there is to date no comprehensive overview of meditation techniques spanning all major traditions. The present studies aimed at filling this gap. In a qualitative study, we compiled a collection of 309 meditation techniques through a literature search and interviews with 20 expert meditators. Then, we reduced this collection to 50 basic meditation techniques. In a second, quantitative study, 635 experienced meditators from a wide range of meditative backgrounds indicated how much experience they had with each of these 50 meditation techniques. Meditators' responses indicated that our choice of techniques had been adequate and two techniques had to be added. Our additional statistical and cluster analyses illustrated preferences for specific techniques across and within diverse traditions as well as sets of techniques commonly practiced together. Body-centered techniques stood out in being of exceptional importance to all meditators. In conclusion, we found an amazing variety of meditation techniques, which considerably surpasses previous collections. Our selection of basic meditation techniques might be of value for future scientific investigations and we encourage researchers to rely on this set.

The Dual-System Theory of Bipolar Spectrum Disorders: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Katz Benjamin A , Naftalovich Hadar , Matanky Kathryn , Yovel Cognition and Psychopathology Lab - Iftah
Published: November 2020

Bipolar spectrum disorders are characterized by alternating intervals of extreme positive and negative affect. We performed a meta-analysis to test the hypothesis that such disorders would be related to dysregulated reinforcement sensitivity. First, we reviewed 23 studies that reported the correlation between self-report measures of (hypo)manic personality and measures of reinforcement sensitivity. A large relationship was found between (hypo)manic personality and BAS sensitivity (g = .74), but not with BIS sensitivity (g = -.08). This stands in contrast to self-reported depression which has a small, negative relationship with BAS sensitivity and a large positive one with BIS sensitivity (Katz et al., 2020). Next, we reviewed 33 studies that compared reinforcement sensitivity between euthymic, bipolar participants and healthy controls. There, bipolar disorder had a small, positive relationship with BAS sensitivity (g = .20) and a medium, positive relationship with BIS sensitivity (g = .64). These findings support a dual-system theory of bipolar disorders, wherein BAS sensitivity is more closely related to mania and BIS sensitivity more closely to bipolar depression. Bipolar disorders show diatheses for both states with euthymic participants being BAS- and BIS- hypersensitive. Implications for further theory and research practice are expounded upon in the discussion.
Racial prejudice predicts police militarization
Authors: Jimenez Tyler
Published: November 2020

In recent years, police have become increasingly militarized. While many have written about the racialized nature of police militarization, no studies to date have empirically examined the relationship between racial prejudice and police militarization. Extending prior work on racial demographics and police militarization, we find police at Minority Serving Institutions are nearly twice as likely as those at Predominantly White Institutions to acquire military equipment (Study 1; N = 4,298). Next, we examine the link between racial prejudice and police militarization at the individual- and population-levels using survey and surveillance data. In Study 2 (N = 261) we find a positive association between racial prejudice and support for police militarization, even when controlling for potentially relevant factors. In Study 3 (N = 423,210) we source population-level prejudice from Project Implicit and naturalistic policing data from the Department of Defense, finding that police in states higher in racial prejudice acquire greater amounts of military equipment. Together, these studies inform the role of racial prejudice underlying police militarization.
Neural correlates of emotional reactivity and regulation in youth with and without anxiety
Authors: Padgaonkar Namita Tanya , Uy Jessica , DePasque Samantha , Galván Adriana , Peris Tara
Published: November 2020

Background: Youth with anxiety disorders struggle with managing emotions relative to peers, but the neural basis of this difference has not been examined. Methods: Youth (Mage=13.6; range=8-17) with (n=37) and without (n=24) anxiety disorders completed a cognitive reappraisal task while undergoing fMRI. Emotional reactivity and regulation, functional activation, and beta-series connectivity were compared across groups. Results: Groups did not differ on emotional reactivity or regulation. However, affect ratings and fronto-limbic activation after viewing aversive imagery (with and without regulation) were higher for anxious youth. Anxious youth did not demonstrate age-dependent changes in regulation, whereas regulation in control youth increased linearly. Stronger amygdala-vmPFC connectivity related to greater anxiety in control youth, but less anxiety in anxious youth. Stronger amygdala-frontal pole connectivity related to worse emotion regulation in control youth, but better emotion regulation in anxious youth. Conclusions: Anxious youth regulate when instructed, but this does not relate to age. Viewing aversive imagery related to heightened negative affect even after reappraisal, accompanied by higher fronto-limbic activation. Emotion dysregulation in youth anxiety disorders may stem from heightened emotionality and potent bottom-up neurobiological responses to aversive stimuli. Findings suggest the importance of treatments focused on both reducing initial emotional reactivity and bolstering regulatory capacity.
How Reliable and Valid are Frequency-Based Originality Scores? More Evidence from a Two-Step Approach
Authors: Forthmann Boris , Jankowska Dorota Maria , Karwowski Maciej
Published: November 2020

Creativity—as any other object of scientific endeavor—requires a sound measurement that adheres to quality criteria. For decades, creativity science has been criticized as falling short in developing valid and reliable measures of creative potential, activity, and achievement. Recent years have witnessed growth of theoretical and empirical works that focused on improving creativity assessment. Here, we apply one of such recently developed approaches based on item response theory to examine ideas’ and person score reliability in a divergent thinking task. A large sample (N = 621) of children and adolescents solved the Circles task from Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking-Figural and two other figural tests measuring creative thinking (Test of Creative Thinking-Drawing Production) and creative imagination (Test of Creative Imagery Abilities). By employing response propensity models, we observed that separate ideas’ reliability tended to fall below recommended thresholds (even liberal ones, e.g., .60) unless the sample size as well as the number of generated ideas (fluency) were large. Importantly, reliability at the idea-level affected reliability at the person-level much less than could be assumed based on recent findings. We propose a systematic perspective on divergent thinking assessment that considers responses as nested in tasks and tasks as nested in tests. Finally, we recommend that adding more tasks to divergent thinking tests might increase reliability at the task-level.
Struggles and Strategies in Anaerobic and Aerobic Cycling Tests: A Mixed-Method Approach With a Focus on Tailored Self-Regulation Strategies

Published: November 2020

Endurance sports pose a plethora of mental demands that exercisers have to deal with. Unfortunately, investigations of exercise-specific demands and strategies to deal with them are insufficiently researched, leading to a gap in knowledge about athletic requirements and strategies used to deal with them. Here, we investigated which obstacles exercisers experience during an anaerobic (Wingate test) and an aerobic cycling test (incremental exercise test), as well as the strategies they considered helpful for dealing with these obstacles (qualitative analysis). In addition, we examined whether thinking of these obstacles and strategies in terms of if-then plans (or implementation intentions; i.e., “If I encounter obstacle O, then I will apply strategy S!”) improves performance over merely setting performance goals (i.e., goal intentions; quantitative analysis). N = 59 participants (age: M = 23.9 ± 6.5 years) performed both tests twice in a 2-within (Experimental session: 1 vs. 2) × 2-between (Condition: goal vs. implementation intention) design. Exercisers’ obstacles and strategies were assessed using structured interviews in Session 1 and subjected to thematic analysis. In both tests, feelings of exertion were the most frequently stated obstacle. Motivation to do well, self-encouragement, and focus on the body and on cycling were frequently stated strategies in both tests. There were also test-specific obstacles, such as boredom reported in the aerobic test. For session 2, the obstacles and strategies elicited in Session 1 were used to specify if-then plans. Bayesian mixed-factor ANOVA suggests, however, that if-then plans did not help exercisers to improve their performance. These findings shed novel light into the mental processes accompanying endurance exercise and the limits they pose on performance.
Do early birds share their worms? How empathy and prosociality vary across the course of the day
Authors: Francis Zoë Lynn , Depow Gregory John , Inzlicht Michael
Published: November 2020

Social behaviours have been proposed to follow circadian patterns across the course of the day, but empirical support is mixed. As a within-subject test of circadian effects on everyday behaviour, we conduct an experience-sampling study with a near-representative population of 285 Americans (7,405 observations). Prosocial behaviour and empathy were both somewhat more frequent in the morning (d = 0.08). However, these non-linear patterns only described morning-type participants; evening-types had consistent (and lower) rates of prosocial behaviour and empathy across time-of-day. These patterns were explained by morning-types reporting more social opportunities earlier in the day. These findings suggest that small, within-subject diurnal effects on social behaviour occur in daily life, and that some circadian effects may be driven by situation selection.
Local build-up of sleep pressure could trigger mind wandering: evidence from sleep, circadian and mind wandering research
Authors: Jubera-Garcia Esperanza , gevers wim , Van Opstal Filip
Published: November 2020

Mind wandering (MW) or having thoughts unrelated to the task at hand is a very pervasive phenomenon. Although research on MW has exponentially grown during the last decade and a half, the mechanisms behind this omnipresent phenomenon remain largely unknown. In this review, we will discuss some factors that have been shown to contribute to the occurrence of MW: the quality of sleep, the time of day when the task is performed, the chronotype of the individual and the duration of the task. The intriguing commonality between these specific factors is that they all suggest a relation between MW and “fatigued” brain states. This suggestion nicely fits a recent proposal that related MW to local “fatigued” brain areas involved in task performance. We will argue that one of the mechanisms underlying the pervasiveness of MW might be the local build-up of homeostatic sleep pressure that inevitably occurs during task performance in the brain areas related to the task.

Published: November 2020

Fluency in a foreign language, professional knowledge, skills, and abilities is becoming the essential qualities of modern journalists. This paper discusses the notion of English professional communicative competence of future journalists. The purpose of the research is to analyze the components of professional, and foreign communicative competence of future journalists. Also, it aims to determine the role of mass media developing professional English communicative competence. The process of research data is based on the developed technology of using mass media products in English classes. It proved the effectiveness of printed, audio-visual, audio, and electronic materials. According to this technology, levels of professional English communicative competence consisted of high, sufficient, average, and low. Experimental work confirms the significance and effectiveness of applied technology in achieving a high level of the research question. Obtained data proved that using mass media materials as learning tools made journalism education flexible, dynamic, exciting, and productive. It was more effective and provided better results in comparison with the traditional ones. The problem of using mass media in professional English communicative competence of journalists, subject matter specificity, and criteria for choosing media texts, forms, and training methods need further studies.
Interpreting Jane Austen’s Writing Style: Adaptations of the Novel Northanger Abbey
Authors: Глущенко Елена Владимировна , Valeriivna Kornielaieva Yevheniia , Viktorivna Moskaliuk Olena
Published: November 2020

The research paper focused on revealing the individual writing style of Jane Austen based on the novel Northanger Abbey and interpretations of its various adaptations. The purpose of the article is to prove that the individual author’s style can be reconstructed due to different stylistic devices that help the reader to understand the message of a literary work more profoundly and take into account in the process of film adaptations. An author’s style is characterized by numerous factors including spelling, word choices, sentence structures, punctuation, use of literary stylistic devices (irony, metaphors, rhyme, etc.) and organization of ideas, narration structure, and overall tone of the narration. The main analytic procedures used in the research are keyness, collocation, and cluster. The authors also define that the novel under analysis is a parody of Gothic fiction. The author ruined the conventions of eighteenth-century novels by making her heroine fall in love with the character before he has a serious thought of her and exposing the heroine’s romantic fears and curiosities as groundless. The article deals with adaptation as an integral part of the concept of intersemiotic translation. It is possible to say that adaptation is an attempt to translate the content of the adapted material into its screening; intersemiotic translation focuses on the analysis and interpretation of semiotic codes in the scope of adapted material. Seven basic operations used to differentiate the range of adaptation are substitution, reduction, addition, amplification, inversion, transaccentation, compression.

The article deals with digital narrative, which is introduced as a method of emergency distance learning. In the paper, the results of the interviews of the first and second year students of O.M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv concerning the quick transition to the entirely online teaching mode are presented, the advantages and disadvantages of the emergency distance learning are analysed with the reference to the Ukrainian cultural context. It is emphasized that the modern form of blended learning can be the most effective mode of training if it combines traditional face-to-face classes with online forms of educational communication, which can be easily transformed into emergency distance learning with the entirely remote access. The article constitutes digital narrative as one of the forms of transformation of traditional education into the emergency distance learning.

Authors: Mistry Asis
Published: November 2020

The agenda of restructuring the state has been the most deliberated issue for all intellectuals, political leaders and civil society activists in Nepal. The restructuring of Nepali state became a central component of the 2006 peace deal.  Federalism was, however, included in the interim constitution as a binding principle for the Constituent Assembly on the verge of violent protests in the Tarai in 2007.  The fundamental question during the Maoist insurgency remained whether federalism based on ethnic affiliation will be materialized. But after the Madhesh mutiny, the question that dominated the public discourse was whether “ethnic federalism” can be materialized as a mean to achieve more inclusive, institutionalized and sustainable democratic polity in Nepal. This article re-examines the process of federal restructuring of Nepali State on the backdrop of contemporary politics of identity.
