Published: September 2020

Background.The prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing, worldwide. Using a simple, efficient and reliable tool for predicting MetS is an essential approach in preventive health programs. The aim of this study was to compare the different anthropometric indices in predicting metabolic syndrome in older adults.

Methods.This cross-sectional study is a part of the Amirkola Health and Ageing cohort Project (2011–2016). Of total, 1,488 older people aged 60–92 years were entered to the study. Medical and personal information of participants were collected by a questionnaire. After measuring the height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference and neck circumference, body mass index, waist to hip ratio, waist to height ratio, abdominal volume index and conicity index were calculated. Independent t-test, chi-square and ROC curve were used to analyze the data.

Results.Based on ATPIII-2005 diagnostic criteria, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 71.57%.The prevalence in female was higher than male. All of examined anthropometric indices, except neck circumference (p = 0.10), showed a significant difference in people with MetS compared to the individuals without metabolic syndrome (p<0.001). Waist to height ratio showed the largest area under the curve for predicting MetS (0.786; 95% CI: 0.76–0.81) followed by BMI (0.746; 95% CI: 0.71–0.77), AVI (0.745; 95% CI: 0.71–0.77), and waist circumference (0.743; 95% CI: 0.71–0.77).

Conclusion.Waist to height ratio was the best predictor of MetS in older adults.

ПРОБЛЕМА ЕТІОЛОГІЇ ОБРАЗІВ БОГИНЬ ЕОСТРИ/ОСТАРИ ТА ЗАЙЦЯ В КОНТЕКСТІ ВЕЛИКОДНІХ ТРАДИЦІЙ
Authors: Анцибор Дар'я
Published: September 2020

В статті аналізується набір науково-популярних тез, які поширюються стосовно богинь Еостри та Остари, а також етіології образу зайця в контексті великодніх традицій. Робиться спроба виявити причини поширення цих великодніх уявлень. Звертається увага на текстологічні дані, які ставлять під сумнів гіпотезу Я. Грімма про існування тотожної до англосаксонської богині світанку Еостри давньонімецьку богиню Остару. Розглядаються етапи творення наративу про зайця як атрибута богині світанку. Текстологічні розвідки показують, що цей образ вірогідно поширився з вільної інтерпретації А. Хольцмана, яка міцно закріпилася в німецькомовному та англомовному академічному середовищі. У статті акцентується не лише на фертильності зайця, а й на народному сприйнятті зайця як посланця з потойбіччя, що дає нове життя. Наведені приклади дають змогу деталізувати етіологію цього великоднього символу.

Trichotillomania: A Case Study
Authors: Trivedi Phoram P , Mistry Kalrav H
Published: September 2020

Present study is about Trichotillomania. As per APA (2013) Trichotillomania diagnostically is an impulse control disorder which shows some overlap with compulsive features of OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder) and some with BDD (Body dysmorphic disorder). Trichotillomania is usually as a result of first exposure to some hair pulling event and relating it with unhelpful cognitions which eventually lead to a vicious cycle. Therapeutically, it is important to investigate how the first exposure to a random hair pulling event gets associated with a series of unhelpful thoughts that make the patient think that until they pull hair, the anxiety and physical discomfort will not be reduced.

Ensemble Density Functional Theory Reloaded
Authors: Gould Tim , Stefanucci Gianluca , Pittalis Stefano
Published: September 2020

Density functional theory can be generalized to mixtures of ground and excited states, for the purpose of determining energies of excitations using low-cost density functional approximations. Adapting approximations originally developed for ground states to work in the new setting would fast-forward progress enormously. But, previous attempts have stumbled on daunting fundamental issues. Here we show that these issues can be prevented from the outset, by using a fluctuation dissipation theorem (FDT) to dictate key functionals. We thereby show that existing exchange energy approximations are readily adapted to excited states, when combined with a rigorous exact Hartree term that is different in form from its ground state counterpart, and counterparts based on ensemble ansatze. Applying the FDT to correlation energies also provides insights into ground state-like and ensemble-only correlations. We thus provide a comprehensive and versatile framework for ensemble density functional approximations.
ANALYSIS OF COVID-19 LOCKDOWN POLICY IMPACT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE COUNTRY ON THE ECONOMIC SECTOR AND SIGNING OF WORKING RELATIONSHIPS (LAYOFFS)
Authors: Mahammed Mohammed Abdela
Published: September 2020

The lockdown authority based on the laws in each country regarding Health Quarantine is the absolute authority of the Government. As stated, "health quarantine is carried out to prevent and ward off the entry or entry of diseases and / or community health risk factors that have the potential to cause public health emergencies." Therefore if there is a regional government that feels the region has an emergency situation and wants to do a lockdown, of course this is unconstitutional and there needs to be a consul from the regional head with the central government before making any related policies. Considering the emergency situation, the spread of the corona virus which has now infected many people (starting from December 2019 to June 2020) can be categorized as an infectious disease that can trigger public health emergencies, so that the implementation of national quarantine can actually be done especially with authority which is clearly stated in the legislation. But so far the central government has not issued a lockdown policy, even though the number of infections has increased. This is influenced by economic considerations during the lockdown. Economic decline, business failure to the number of layoffs by companies are the main considerations. Likewise, the risk of many workers will be fired (laid off) because the company or office is not operating. Not to mention the government must be able to meet the basic needs of the population during lockdown or national quarantine activities when enacted. The question also arises, whether the government is able to meet the primary needs of its citizens when the lockdown occurs.

Published: September 2020

This study consists of two parts. The first part is to identify the fatty acid composition of
chia seed oils obtained by Soxhlet method using acetone and hexane as extraction solvents
with different extraction times including acetone 4 hrs (A4), acetone 8 hrs (A8) and
hexane 8 hrs (H8) as a control. Next, the oxidative stability and antioxidant activity of
chia seed oils stored at different temperatures (25°C and 40°C) for 18 days were
evaluated. From the study, chia seed oil (A8) had the highest content of α-linolenic acid
(67.79%) with significant difference (p < 0.05) followed by other oil samples that were
extracted using acetone and hexane for 4 hrs (67.54%) and 8 hrs (66.38%), respectively.
The oxidative stability of chia seed oil was determined by peroxide value, p-anisidine
value and TOTOX value. The results revealed that chia seed oils stored at room
temperature (25°C) had higher oxidative stability compared to oil samples stored at 40°C.
Elevated temperature strongly affected lipid oxidation. The control sample had higher
oxidative stability than acetone-extracted chia seed oils. Meanwhile, antioxidant activity
using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activity test was also carried out.
Antioxidant activity of chia seed oil extracted by acetone had higher radical scavenging
activity inhibition (p < 0.05) than the control sample at both temperatures (25°C and 40°
C).The results confirmed that chia seed oil obtained by acetone had higher
polyunsaturated fatty acids and lower oxidative stability than hexane. In conclusion, chia
seed oil extracted by hexane showed better oxidative stability at different storage
temperatures.

Published: September 2020

Children deprived of their primary care are among the most vulnerable segments of the society exposed to violence, exploitation, trafficking, discrimination and all other types of abuse. United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children (1989) acknowledges the rights of such children and hold member states responsible for provision of alternative care considering the best interest of the children in accordance with their national laws. United Nations’ guideline on alternative care were also adopted by UN General Assembly for effective implementation of international instruments regarding the shelter, protection, development, and rehabilitation of children deprived from their primary care. Pakistan, being a member state and signatory to these UN treaties, is bound to reflect the provisions of these international instruments in the domestic policies and execute the same in true letter and spirit.  Evidences prove that if not professionally managed, children living and growing up in institutions face difficulties in learning and developing social skills. In Punjab province, different institutions in public & private sectors are providing residential services to children deprived of their primary care. However, the performance of these institutions has been questioned repeatedly due to the constantly reported child abuse cases. Present study aims to explore factors responsible for the current state of affairs by getting views of both practitioners and the beneficiaries. Following a qualitative perspective of research, in-depth interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide with management and resident children of childcare institutions. The findings of the study identified multiple policy and administrative issues affecting the working of these institutions and helped in understanding the existing situation of these institutions in Punjab Province. This study will be helpful in determining the needs and issues faced by the case managers as well as the children to serve their best interest.

THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON FOOD CROP PRODUCTION IN NORTHERN NIGERIA
Authors: Mohammed Dahiru Toungos , Tanko Hassans
Published: September 2020

The Earth's temperature is rising as a result of increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. As the Earth warms, currently wet regions are expected to receive more rainfall, and currently dry regions receive less. Nigeria and indeed Northern Nigeria is not an exception. Crop production is one of the most vulnerable systems and heavily affected by climate change in Nigeria and more particularly in the Northern part of the country where the presence and prevalence of drought is mostly felt. Crops are mostly flooded and are rendered less productive by flood, in addition to extensive dependence on rainfed farming coupled with high poverty level of the people of the region. Major crops cultivated in the region include groundnuts, beans, cotton, soybeans, sesame, cashew nuts, mango, cassava, yam, gum arabic,  maize (corn), melon, millet, , plantains, rice, sorghum, bananas, yams, pepper, coffee, carrots, sugarcane, soybeans, with major producing states of soybeans as Kaduna, Niger, Kebbi, Nasarawa, Kwara, Jigawa, Taraba, Borno, Benue, Bauchi, Sokoto, Plateau, Zamfara and Abuja FCT are now facing yield depreciation. Most of these crops are facing problems such as flower abortions, wrong flowering and fruiting time and generally low yields due to the effects of climate change. As rainfall becomes more variable, farmers no longer are able to rely on their knowledge of the seasonality of climatic variables. It is recommended that, series of awareness in terms of seminars, symposiums, farmers field days should be conducted to the farmers to enlighten them on the knowledge of modern techniques of crop production, such as the use of early maturating seeds, drought resistance varieties and more especially the use of irrigation in order to boost crop production in the region. Weather focused information should be made available to the farmers in the form of short message (SMS) in addition to informing them on weather both in print media.

Competition is a force to the organizations to generate and apply new strategies to challenge the changing environment. Qualified labour force is also an important constituent in this way. Universities are also in competition to train successful, dynamic, qualified and innovative students who will be the future labour force. Updating the curriculum, searching more understandable teaching techniques and getting feedback from students and lecturers are some ways to be improved and preferable for universities. Each course may require different teaching techniques to be understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the reasons why the students fail in accounting courses and which teaching techniques may help them to understand accounting better. A survey is prepared and applied to the Summer school students who had “Accounting” related lessons in a university to detect the reasons they chose the course in summer school, the reasons that they failed in accounting course during the semester and the teaching techniques that they will better understand the course. The main reasons to fail Accounting lessons were that they didn’t study enough and they can’t understand accounting. The best method of understanding theoretical part of “Accounting” courses is using blackboard and power-point presentation together; for understanding practical/exercise part of is using blackboard. Most of the students have chosen Summer School to pass the failed courses.
BCHIRA BEN MRAD: A PIONEER FEMINIST (1913-1993)

Can one understand the present without knowing the past? Isn’t life a continuation of the past and doesn’t the present owe many of its characteristics to the past? Asking these questions helps one to figure out how women who lived in a secluded and closed environment were able to break the walls that separated them from the public sphere. It is thus that we come to realize and understand how Bchira Ben Mrad’s (from now on: BBM) initiative in the early 1930s did not start from nowhere but had its origins in the women’s past of her country.

Изучено влияние инокуляции семян сои, а также обработки семян и вегетирующих растений сои микробиологическими удобрениями на продуктивность и хозяйственно ценные признаки культур в условиях Центрально-Черноземного региона в 2018 – 2019 гг. Наиболее высокий урожай — 1,89 т/га (в среднем за 2 года) — получен в варианте с применением инокуляции семян совместно с обработкой семян и вегетирующих растений микробиологическими удобрениями Азотовит и Фосфатовит. Прибавка урожая в данном варианте составила 0,57 т/га, или 43,2 %. За счет совместного применения биологического протравителя с микробиологическими удобрениями и инокулянтами в композиционной смеси повысилась сохранность растений к концу вегетации, увеличилась масса 1000 семян (101,2 – 175,5 г) и улучшились показатели качества семян сои. Содержание сырого протеина в зерне сои в более высоком количестве наблюдалось в вариантах с обработкой семян инокулянтом — 26,9 – 28,9 %. Наибольшая разница по сравнению с контролем отмечена в варианте: Азотовит + Фосфатовит (обработка семян и растений) + Нитрофикс Ж, где она составила 19,9 %. По содержанию жира в семенах сои (26,1 %) выделился вариант Фон + Фосфатовит (обработка семян и растений) с инокуляцией семян. Наибольший сбор белка и жира в урожае сои получен в вариантах с обработкой семян инокулянтом, максимально — в варианте Азотовит + Фосфатовит (обработка семян и растений).
DOES FISCAL DECENTRALIZATION AFFECT ON THE CONVERGENCE OF PER CAPITA INCOME IN INDONESIA?
Authors: Negara Bonnie Permana , Khoirunurrofik Khoirunurrofik
Published: September 2020

Nearly two decades since 2001 Indonesia has implemented a decentralized system. The basis of decentralization implemented in Indonesia is at the regency/municipality level while fiscal decentralization is carried out fully in the area of expenditure. It is important to know whether the implementation of fiscal decentralization has an effect on national development. One indicator to determine the impact of fiscal decentralization on development is whether there is economic convergence between regions during the period of regional autonomy. Using panel data of 411 regencies and 94 municipalities in Indonesia during the implementation period of decentralization from 2001-2017, this study aims to examine indications of economic convergence between regions in Indonesia. This study uses indicators of fiscal decentralization in terms of expenditure assignment, namely regional spending on education, health, and infrastructure. Based on the test results of both static convergence and dynamic convergence testing, it was found that there was a convergence of per capita income between regency/municipality in Indonesia.

Tools and interfaces are increasingly expected to be synchronous and distributed to accommodate remote collaboration. Yet,adoption of these techniques for data visualization is low partly because development is difficult: existing collaboration software systems either do not support simultaneous interaction or require expensive redevelopment of existing visualizations. We contribute VisConnect: a web-based synchronous distributed collaborative visualization system that supports most web-based SVG data visualizations,balances system safety with responsiveness, and supports simultaneous interaction from many collaborators. VisConnect works with existing visualization implementations with little-to-no code changes by synchronizing low-level JavaScript events across clients such that visualization updates proceed transparently across clients. This is accomplished via a peer-to-peer system that establishes consensus among clients on the per-element sequence of events, and uses a lock service to grant access over elements to clients.We contribute collaborative extensions of traditional visualization interaction techniques, such as drag, brush, and lasso, and discuss different strategies for collaborative visualization interactions. To demonstrate the utility of VisConnect, we present novel examples of collaborative visualizations in the healthcare domain, remote collaboration with annotation, and show in an education case study for e-learning with 22 participants that students found the ability to remotely collaborate on class activities helpful and enjoyable for understanding concepts.

Published: September 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic poses a health threat that has dominated media coverage. However, not much is known about individual media use to acquire knowledge about COVID-19. To address this, this study investigated how perceived threat is linked to media use, and how media use is associated with perceived and actual knowledge about COVID-19. In a German online survey, N=952 participants provided information on their perceived threat and media use to inform themselves about COVID-19. They indicated how well they are informed about COVID-19 (perceived knowledge) and completed a COVID-19 knowledge test (actual knowledge). Results indicated that individuals who felt more threatened by COVID-19 used media more often to inform themselves but focused on fewer media channels. Frequent media use was associated with higher perceived knowledge, but not with higher actual knowledge about COVID-19 (i.e., illusion of knowledge). Finally, using fewer media channels was linked to higher perceived and actual knowledge.
Interactions of Genetic and Environment Scores: Alternating Lasso Regularization Avoids Overfitting and Finds Interpretable Scores

Published: September 2020

Regression models with interaction terms are common models for moderating relationships. When several predictors from one group, e.g., genetic variables, are potentially moderated by several predictors from another, e.g., environmental variables, many interaction terms result. This complicates model interpretation, especially when coefficient signs point in different directions. By first forming a score for each group of predictors, the interaction model's dimension is severely reduced. The hierarchical score model is an elegant one step approach: Score weights and regression model coefficients are estimated simultaneously by an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm. Especially in high dimensional settings, scores remain an effective technique to reduce interaction model dimension, and we propose regularization to ensure sparsity and interpretability of the score weights. A non-trivial extension of the original AO algorithm is presented, which adds a lasso penalty, resulting in the alternating lasso optimization algorithm (ALOA). The hierarchical score model with ALOA is an interpretable statistical learning technique for moderation in potentially high dimensional applications, and encompasses generalized linear models for the main interaction model. In addition to the lasso regularization, a screening procedure called regularization and residualization (RR) is proposed to avoid spurious interactions. ALOA tuning parameter choice and the RR screening procedure are investigated by simulations, and an illustrative application to lifetime depression risk and gene x environment interactions is provided.
Which facial features are central in impression formation?
Authors: Jaeger Bastian , Jones Alex Lee
Published: September 2020

Which facial characteristics do people rely on when forming personality impressions? Previous research has uncovered an array of facial features that influence people’s impressions. Even though some (classes of) features, such as resemblances to emotional expressions or facial width-to-height ratio, play a central role in theories of social perception, their relative importance in impression formation remains unclear. Here, we model faces along a wide range of theoretically important dimensions, and use machine learning techniques to test how well 28 features predict impressions of trustworthiness and dominance in a diverse set of 597 faces. In line with overgeneralization theory, emotion resemblances were most predictive of both traits. Other features that have received a lot of attention in the literature, such as facial width-to-height ratio, were relatively uninformative. Our results highlight the importance of modeling faces along a wide range of dimensions to elucidate their relative importance in impression formation.

Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning are fundamental processes helping organisms learn about stimuli that predict rewards in the environment and actions that lead to their obtainment. These two forms of learning and their interplay notably exert a strong impact on reward-seeking behaviors. Here, we examined in humans whether Pavlovian and instrumental learning along with their effects on cue-driven behaviors involving sexual rewards are modulated by the reward relevance to the individual’s sexual orientation. In two experiments, we manipulated the concern-relevance of sexual outcomes in a Pavlovian-instrumental transfer paradigm by recruiting heterosexual and homosexual men and selecting sexual stimuli for each sexual orientation. Results showed enhanced instrumental and Pavlovian learning in response to the most relevant sexual outcome to participants’ sexual orientation as well as increased reward-seeking behaviors in response to its associated cue compared to the less relevant sexual outcome and its associated cue, respectively, thereby reflecting that inter-individual differences in sexual concerns modulated these effects. These findings suggest that motivational influence on reward-related learning and behaviors involving sexual stimuli relies on inter-individual differences in concerns and contribute to fostering further insight into the mechanisms underlying human reward-seeking behaviors.
Beyond Inhibitory Control Training: Inactions and Actions Influence Smartphone App Use Through Changes in Explicit Liking
Authors: Johannes Niklas , Buijzen Moniek , Veling Harm
Published: September 2020

Human behavior can be classified into two basic categories: execution of responses and withholding responses. This classification is used in go/no-go training, where people respond to some objects and withhold their responses to other objects. Despite its simplicity, there is now substantial evidence that such training is powerful in changing human behavior toward such objects. However, it is poorly understood how simple responses can influence behavior. Contrary to the remarkably tenacious idea that go/no-go training changes behavior by strengthening inhibitory control, we propose that the training changes behavior via changes in explicit liking of objects. In two preregistered experiments, we show that go/no-go training influences explicit liking for smartphone apps (Experiment 1 and 2), and that this liking partially mediates the effect of the training on consequential choices for using these apps one day later (Experiment 2). The results highlight the role of evaluations when examining how motor response training influences behavior. This knowledge can inform development of more effective applied motor response training procedures and raises new theoretical questions on the relation between motor responses and affect.
There's a Time and a Face: The Time Course of Composite Face Processing
Authors: Lynch Carmen , Cheng Xue Jun , Little Daniel R.
Published: September 2020

Faces are considered a special class of holistically-processed object. The composite face task is a widely-used tool to infer holistic processing. In this task, recognition of one half of a composite face is shown to be hampered by interference from the other half of the face. Although this effect has been documented numerous times, when used in different paradigms, composite faces do not always exhibit effects consistent with holistic processing. The present study explored the cause of these discrepant findings by combining a composite face task with a signal-to-respond paradigm. The amount of time to make a face recognition decision was manipulated by introducing a response signal, and the resulting changes in accuracy were mapped over the time course of processing, which was then used to fit a speed-accuracy trade-off model. We found that holistic processing emerges late in the time course after approximately 400 ms processing time for easy to discriminate faces and after approximately 1000 ms for difficult to discriminate faces.
