Published: September 2021

Objective: To study the surgical management and outcome of patients having intracranial meningiomas. Design: A retrospective study. Setting: The Department of Neurosurgery Punjab Medical College & Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Duration From April 2004 to October 2005. Materials & Methods:Thirty patients suffering from intracranial meningiomas diagnosed on CT-scan and managed surgically were included in this study. Simpson grade I removal was possible in 21 patients. Grade II removal was done in Three patients while grade 111 removal was possible in four patients, grade IV removal was done in one patient and grade V in one patient. Post operative XRT was given in cases having grades II, 111, IV and V removal. Follow up was done at six monthly intervals. Outcome was assessed as Good .Fair, and poor depending upon clinical and radiological examinations. RESULTS: Out of 30 patients only one had recurrence after one year of follow up which was removed surgically and postoperative XRT was given.Twenty four patients had good outcome while 5 patients had fair outcome and one had poor outcome. CONCLUSION. Study showed that Simpson grade 1 removal of tumor is still effective treatment in the management of meningiomas. Postoperative XRT is used in Simpson grade 2, 3, 4 and 5 in which gross total removal is not possible due to involvement of neurovascular structures.

Objective: To assess the potential of oral Clonidine premedication indecreasing patient discomfort during the injection of Propofol. Design: This was a comparative study of 80 ASA class1 and II. Place and Duration of study: This study was carried out at Combined Military Hospital, Kharian. Patients andMethods: This was a study of 80 ASA class 1 and 2 patients of similar age group. Patients selected were from amongstthose undergoing elective gynaecological surgery, specifically Diagnostic Dilatation and Curettage. These patients wereselected by non-probability convenience sampling. The patients were randomly assigned, by means of a random table,to one of the two groups of 40 patients each. Group ‘A’ patients were given oral Clonidine, 300mg two hours beforeinduction of anaesthesia by Propofol injection. Group B’ patients were given 0.01 to 0.02mg/kg plain Lidocaine justbefore Propofol induced anaesthesia. Non-invasive systolic arterial blood pressure (ni-SBP), non-invasive diastolicarterial blood pressure (ni-DBP) and heart rate were recorded in the ward about 120 min [before administration of oralClonidine in group-A] in both groups. Measurements were repeated in the operating theatre before induction ofanaesthesia. Patients in Group-A were given one tablet Catapres [Clonidine, 300mg] with a sip of water, two hoursbefore induction of anaesthesia and they were observed in the Post Anaesthesia Care Unit during this period, whiletheir pulse and blood pressure were monitored. Patients in group-B were not premedicated with Clonidine. They wereinjected 0.01 to 0.02mg/kg injection plain lidocaine, through the injection port of an 18-gauge cannula, as premedicationjust before propofol monitoring was done as for group-A. Before administration of propofol, the patient was requestedto rate immediately any sensation of pain during injection as none (0), mild (1), moderate (2) or severe (3), also calledthe Verbal Rating Scale (VRS). Results: The results showed both groups to have similar pain score, and differenceswere deemed statistically not significant by the analysis. Conclusion: Our results imply that Clonidine makes anexcellent premedication with Propofol for short gynaecological procedures.

Objective: To find the relationship between the serum cholesterol andtriglyceroid in type 2 diabetics with different parameters of obesity. Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Al-ShifaMetabolic Center Faisalabad. Period: From January 2003 to June 2005. Material and methods: A total of 2034patients, who fulfill the inclusion criteria were included in this study. Out of these patients 1188 females and 846 males,patients presented to the metabolic center for lipids screening. Body parameters i.e. weight, height, waist and hipcircumference and blood pressure. BMI and WHR were calculated as per standard. Fasting serum cholesterol andtriglyceroid were tested on capillary blood by GCT meter. Results: There is a sharp and definite increase in the % ofpatients having > 200 mg/dl total cholesterol after 10 years of DM, from 34-36% to 59%. More patients in above 50 agegroup had higher than 200-mg/dl-cholesterol i.e.38%, 50% and 36% than below 50 years i.e. 30% and 24%. Serumtriglyceroid levels in the middle range of 150-300 had a definite ascending relationship with increasing BMI, 17%, 47%and 71% respectively. High WHR in both sexes had the strongest relation with high serum cholesterol both in 150-200and >200 mg/dl range, 37% and 41% and 40 and 41% respectively. Serum triglyceroid was definitely higher in patientswith high WHR in both sexes in 150-300 ranges. Conclusions: It is clearly evident that the duration of hyperglycemia,age at onset of DM and the central obesity, all increases the chances of having hypercholesteremia. It is again evidentthat so many other factors influence the incidence of hypercholesteremia; screening is the only way to pick thesepatients. Every patient with any component of the Metabolic Syndrome must be screened for other components foroptimal stratification of the coronary risk factors.

Authors: ABBAS SAFDAR , NAQVI M. SHAHAB , BAKHSH Muhammad , Saddique Nouman
Published: September 2021

Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass initiates systemic inflammatoryresponse syndrome (SIRS) causing deleterious effects on various body systems with increased morbidity. Modifiedultrafiltration (MUF) is a technique that removes excess water and inflammatory mediators from the circulation in thepost-bypass period resulting in reduced bleeding, less blood transfusion requirements and overall reduced morbidity.Materials and Methods: 96 patients were randomly selected and divided into two groups. In Group I called MUF group(n=50), modified ultrafiltration was carried out for 15 min in the post bypass period. Group II called NON-MUFgroup(n=46), MUF was not carried out. Clinical assessment was based on ASA class. Mean cardiopulmonary bypass andaortic cross clamp times were 95.42 &56.94 min and 77.98 & 43.64 min in the MUF & NON-MUF groups respectively.Variables were expressed as mean and percentage. In the MUF group , there was increase in Hb by more than 2g/dlin 32 patients (64%) whereas in the NON-MUF group, this increase was only in 12 patients (20%). Mean postoperativechest drainage was far less (422 ml) in MUF group as compared to NON-MUF group (842.50 ml).Transfusion(449.12ml Vs 996.58 ml) and postoperative ventilatory requirements(40% Vs 47.8%) were also less in MUF group thanNON-MUF group. Inotropic support was nearly comparable in both the groups but overall morbidity (Low cardiac outputstate, sepsis, reopening) was less in the MUF group (18%) as compared to NON-MUF group (30%). Mean ICU staywas also less in MUF group (mean 51.52 hrs) than in NON-MUF group (mean 55.43 hrs). One patient in each groupdied. Conclusion: Modified Ultrafiltration is associated with improved hemoglobin, less postoperative bleeding,reopening and transfusion requirements with overall reduced morbidity and ICU stay. However, the need for inotropeswere not significantly different in the two groups.

Published: September 2021

In this study we audited one district general hospital’s current practice ofperforming abdominal X-ray (AXR) in adult patientswith acute abdominal pain. Data was collected from patients’ notesone day post-admission and a total of 100 consecutive cases were reviewed in a two month period. AXR were deemedunnecessary in 53% of these in view of the patients’ clinical presentation. Inappropriate use of AXR is a source ofpreventable radiation, patient discomfort and also an aspect of financial burden on the NHS. By educating staff,introducing an A&E poster and departmental protocol, the use of AXR can be restricted to necessary cases only.

Published: September 2021

Introduction: Peripheral vascular injuries constitute4-6% major trauma. Although uncommon the complication of hemorrhage and Ischemia can be limb threatening andlife threatening. Rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment is therefore essential. Delay allows irreversible Ischemicinjury to take place and encourages propagation of intravascular thrombosis, which results in eventual loss of functionor even limb itself. Objective: (I) To collect data about different aspect of epidemiology and management of Peripheralvascular injuries. (II) To study the relationship between latent period for revascularization and outcome of surgery.Design: Non interventional observational study. Setting: C M H Kohat. Period: From 01 Jan 2004 to 31 Dec 2006.Material & Methods: Total of 46 cases of all age and sex groups was included in the study. Only those patients wereincluded who had vascular injury to extremities whether direct (penetrating, blunt) or indirect (associated with fractureand dislocations) injuries. Relevant history was obtained from the patients themselves and from their relatives orwitnesses. Relevant physical examination was performed. Necessary investigations were done. Patients were treatedaccording to standard protocol. Results: The peripheral vascular injuries were more common in 21-40 years of agegroup (69%) and among male(82%).Vascular trauma caused by the firearm injuries (60.86%) was the most commoncause, other being road traffic accidents (26.08%) and blunt trauma (13.04%). The most common clinical presentationwas shock and paresthesia (50%). Most off the patient reached hospital within 6-12 hours (47%), and belongs to ruralareas (69%). Frequency of involvement of vessels was femoral artery (41%) and brachial artery (23%). Types ofvascular injuries were , laceration to the vessel wall (56%) and loss of vessel wall segment (17%). End-to-endanastomosis was most common (78%) .others being interposition reverse vein graft (13%) and direct suturing of vesselwall (8.7%)Amputation rate was highest in cases where revascularization occurred after more than 12 hour (71%).Common complications after repair were residual edema (17%) and infection (6%). Overall mortality rate was 4 % andmorbidity rate was 28%. Conclusion: All cases of peripheral vascular injuries should be surgically explored.Revascularization should be achieved within 12 hours. Patients presenting late or with crush injuries may needamputation.

Published: September 2021

Bilateral synchronous renal cell Carcinomas occur in approximately 1-3% of all patients with RCC.Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT scan are the most useful tests for diagnosing and staging. US has an advantageover CT in determination of nature of the lesion (solid/cystic). CT is more sensitive in evaluation of lesion size anddetection of calcification and necrosis. CT also has an advantage over US in evaluation of perinephric extension,adjacent organ infiltration and regional lymphadenopathy. Both US and CT are equally sensitive in detection of IVCthrombus.
Differential roles of trithorax protein MLL-1 in regulating neuronal Ion channels
Authors: Sonya Dave , An Zhou
Published: September 2021

Repressive regulation of potassium channel genes by Polycomb group (PcG) proteins contributes to PcG protein-mediated neuroprotection against neuronal ischemic injury, as seen in an ischemic stroke. Here we asked the question whether Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins, the antagonistic partners of PcG proteins (i.e, epigenetic activators targeting the same genes) may also regulate potassium channels. Results of patch-clamp studies on cultured neuronal cells showed that inhibition of TrxG protein MLL-1 led to an increase in potassium channel activity, an unexpected effect for a presumed gene activator. In contrast, decreased sodium currents were observed with MLL-1 inhibition. Increased or decreased levels of potassium channel protein Kv2.1 or sodium channel protein Nav1.2, respectively, were seen with MLL-1 inhibition, as determined by immunocytochemistry. These results, for the first time, demonstrate an involvement of TrxG protein MLL-1 in regulating neuronal ion channels, potentially repressing potassium channel genes.

This study represents a collaboration between the Cancer Association of Anderson (CAA) and the Anderson University Center for Cancer Research (AU CCR), both located in Anderson, SC, with the assistance and support of Anderson University Professional and Lifelong Learning (AU PLL). The CAA began importing patient information in 2016 into a Microsoft Excel workbook to create a digital record that could store and provide more convenient searching and the production of reports. In a robust collaborative effort between CAA, the AU CCR, and Anderson University students, additional pertinent information from the previous paper files was gathered by contacting patients. The data was imported from the Excel system and put into a reporting system that allowed CAA staff and AU CCR students to refine the information needed to obtain an overview of cancer across Anderson County as a snapshot of those assisted by CAA. The Clemson University GIS data system and the database reports were used to plot the location of cancer incidents (the individual patient's locations) and to produce maps that aided the students in drawing initial conclusions. By working collaboratively from 2019 through 2020, the CAA and AU students have gathered local Anderson County cancer patient information and created maps to pinpoint different cancers by location. These maps indicate geographic trends of various cancers and support further investigation into the cause of those cancers. They also indicate increased or decreased rates of cancer over time.

Published: September 2021

Na+/H+ antiporter plays an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating osmotic pressure and intracellular pH. It plays an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. In Helicobacter pylori, whole genome sequencing has revealed the presence of two types of Na+/H+ antiporter. A gene (nhaA) homologous to the Na+/H+ antiporter of Escherichia coli has been investigated and its function has been analyzed. However, another gene homologous to the Na+/H+ antiporter of Enterococcus hirae (napA) is not yet known in detail. In this study, we investigated the function of this gene (napA in H. pylori). First, to confirm the genetic presence of napA in 20 H. pylori clinical isolates, PCR analysis was performed, and the napA gene was confirmed in all strains. The amount of Na+ extrusion was measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that the Na+ concentration was decreased in the wild-type strain compared to the napA mutant strain. In addition, there was a significant dose-dependent difference in CFU of Na+ concentration in the napA mutant strain compared to the wild-type strain. We examined whether the napA gene is related to motility using both wild-type and napA mutant strains. As a result, in the motility agar test, the bacterial motility observed in the wild-type strain was not observed in the napA mutant strain. However, no difference in flagellar proteins was observed by SDS-PAGE analysis. These results suggest that the napA gene of H. pylori may regulate homeostasis by extruding Na+ and may also regulate motility.

Ausgehend von dem Wunsch zu verstehen, warum sich junge Menschen islamistischen Gruppen zuwenden, möchten wir Einblick in unsere Arbeit im Bereich der Prävention und Deradikalisierung geben, die wir im Sinne einer angewandten Psychoanalyse zu gestalten versuchen. Nach einer kleinen Literaturschau über entsprechende Zugänge gehen wir auf die Rahmenbedingungen unserer Arbeit ein, wie wir Erstgespräche durchführen, und greifen etwaige Konfliktlinien auf. Im Mittelpunkt stehen zwei Fallvignetten, eine ausführliche aus dem Bereich der Radikalisierungsprävention, eine kurze aus der Deradikalisierung, die wir im Anschluss noch einmal explizit mit psychoanalytischen Konzepten wie Spaltung, destruktiver Narzissmus und anderen mehr verbinden. Im Ausblick streifen wir die Diskussion, Radikalisierung nicht nur als regressive, sondern auch als progressive Bewegung zu beachten, sie eben auch eine adoleszente Suche nach Sinn und Zugehörigkeit darstellt.
Do Black Lives Matter?
Authors: Powell Dionne R.
Published: September 2021

Der vorliegende Text beschäftigt sich mit der psychischen Repräsentation von Schwarzem Leben in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, wie es von Black Lives Matter (BLM) und den Vorgängern dieser Bewegung symbolisiert wird, und dem psychischen Widerstand gegen die Anerkennung Schwarzen Lebens. Die Autorin verbindet den Kampf von BLM um nachhaltige Anerkennung mit dem Widerstand auf einer gesellschaftlichen, aber vor allem einer psychischen Ebene, die Afrikaner in Amerika in ihrem ganzen Menschsein zu akzeptieren. Ein Teil dieses Widerstands resultiert aus dem Bildungssystem, das die Rassengeschichte der Vereinigten Staaten ausspart, hinzu kommt die beiderseitige Verleugnung der traumatischen Vergangenheit der Immigranten und der rassischen Traumata des heutigen Amerikas. Dieser Widerstand gegen Veränderung erstreckt sich bis in den Behandlungsraum hinein und reicht damit bis zum Psychoanalytiker selbst. Es werden Theorien darüber aufgestellt, wie es zu diesem Widerstand unter Psychotherapeuten und Psychoanalytikern kommt und was wir verlieren können, wenn wir uns unbewussten Rassismus, die Privilegiertheit der Weißen und unausgesprochene Vorurteile nicht bewusst machen. Ergänzt wird diese Arbeit durch klinische Beispiele.
Das Autoritäre Syndrom – Wiederkehr des Verdrängten?
Authors: Schuler Julia , Schließler Clara , Decker Oliver
Published: September 2021

In diesem Beitrag wird die Fruchtbarkeit des psychoanalytischen Diktums der »Wiederkehr des Verdrängten« einerseits für die politikwissenschaftlichen Debatten um das Erstarken von Rechtspopulismus und andererseits für das sozialpsychologische Verständnis antidemokratischer Ressentiments diskutiert. In der politikwissenschaftlichen Analyse wurde das Diktum zuletzt vermehrt als Metapher genutzt, um Rechtspopulismus als Folge von Verdrängungsund Ausschlussprozessen des »demos« und damit als Symptom der Repräsentativen Demokratie zu verstehen. Aus Sicht psychoanalytischer Sozialpsychologie versuchen wir mit der Analyse der gesellschaftlichen autoritären Dynamik und des autoritären Syndroms – als die individuelle Binnenseite dieser gesellschaftlichen Dynamik – die Wiederkehr des Verdrängten im Ressentiment zu verstehen. Dabei greifen wir auf Ergebnisse der Leipziger Autoritarismus-Studien zurück und gehen vor dem Hintergrund sich verändernder gesellschaftlicher Bedingungen auf Veränderungen der autoritären Dynamiken in modernen Gesellschaften ein.
TYPES OF RIVERS FEEDING SEDIMENTARY BASINS ON THE SOUTHEASTERN EDGE OF THE SIBERIAN PLATFORM DURING THE RIPHEAN: SKETCH OF RECONSTRUCTION

Some geochemical features of fine-grained clastic/clay rocks of a number of Riphean formations of the Yudoma-Maya region of southeastern Yakutia are considered. A comparison of the distribution character of the data points of individual and average samples of clay rocks in the (La/Yb)N–Eu/Eu* and (La/Yb)N–Th diagrams, which show the composition of the bottom sediments of the estuarine parts of modern rivers of various categories, allowed us to make a number of conclusions. Thus, individual data points on the (La/Yb)N–Eu/Eu* diagram are concentrated mainly in the fields of bottom sediments of rivers feeding on erosion products of mainly sedimentary (categories 1 and 2) and volcanic rocks (category 4), as well as their overlapping zones. The average data point of the clay rocks of the Trekhgorka Formation in this diagram is located in the field of bottom sediments of rivers draining magmatic/metamorphic terranes (category 3). The average data points of shales of the Dim, Talyn, and Svetly formations are located in the zone of overlapping fields of bottom sediments of rivers of categories 1, 2, and 3, i.e., they contain erosion products of both sedimentary formations and magmatic and metamorphic complexes. This is quite well consistent with the real geological situation. At the same time, in the composition of clayey rocks of higher stratigraphic levels of Riphean, erosion products of magmatic/metamorphic terranes are either absent or their proportion is very small. On the (La/Yb)N–Th graph, most of the individual data points of Riphean clayey rocks tend to be in the fields 1, 2, and 4. Their average data points are mainly confined to the overlapping zone of the fields of bottom sediments of rivers of categories 1 and 2. The average data point of clay rocks of Ust-Kirba Formation is located in the field of bottom sediments of rivers that feed on products of erosion from rocks of volcanic provinces. It also does not contradict the real geological situation.

Authors: Скоролітня Аліна , Житарюк Іван
Published: September 2021

Розглянуто особливості застосування проблемного підходу у контексті введення і розв’язування ірраціональних рівнянь шляхом пошуку розв’язання проблемної ситуації, через формування регулятивних універсальних навчальних дій учнів старшої школи, що уможливить поліпшення розуміння матеріалу, який вивчається.
Формулювання проблеми. Аналіз поточної успішності учнів старшої школи та результатів зовнішнього незалежного оцінювання з математики свідчить про потребу змін у системі навчання математики, особливо старшої школи. Учні старшої школи втрачають інтерес до математики з огляду на незрозумілість застосування у майбутньому здобутих ними знань. Для успішної самореалізації особистості у сучасному глобалізованому суспільстві необхідно мати певні знання з математики, а за умови вибору майбутньої професії, пов’язаної з останньою, то потрібні ґрунтовніші знання у галузі математики з використанням інноваційних технологій навчання, які сприяють формуванню високого рівня практичних компетентностей. Застосуванню ж проблемного підходу, зокрема і при вивченні ірраціональних рівнянь і нерівностей, у старшій школі приділяють замало уваги, навіть у класах з поглибленим вивченням математики.
Матеріали і методи. Для досягнення мети пропонованої статті використано емпіричні методи, а саме: спостереження за навчальним процесом учнів старшої школи при їх навчанні у ЗЗСО та аналіз результатів їхніх досягнень як під час навчання, так і здачі ЗНО. Крім того, використано й методи наукового пізнання: порівняльний аналіз для з’ясування різних поглядів на проблему визначення напрямків дослідження; систематизація й узагальнення для власне формулювання висновків і вироблення рекомендацій; узагальнення педагогічного досвіду авторів і проведених ними спостережень.
Результати. Викладання математики у старшій школі потребує модифікації стандартних методик та підходів, а тому в роботі розкрито особливості застосування проблемного підходу при введенні поняття «ірраціональне рівняння» та розв’язування ірраціональних рівнянь з використанням міжпредметних зв’язків. Наголошується на тому, що проблемний підхід вимагає вміння проводити дослідження різних реальних ситуацій та знання теоретичного матеріалу.
Висновки. Використання проблемного підходу щодо викладання математики в старшій школі змінює спосіб учіння і викладання. Крім того, такий підхід забезпечує всебічний розвиток особистості й спрямовує учнів старшої школи на подальші розвідки в математиці. Запропоновані завдання будуть корисними як для учнів, так і вчителів ЗЗСО.
Proprietatea în dreptul român și modelul său francez: o evoluție în contratimp
Authors:   Universitatea „Babeș-Bolyai” Cluj-Napoca, Buciuman Adina
Published: September 2021

The French revolutionary model of ownership is presented in comparison with his Romanian replica. Despite the identity of the legal formulas used, as the Romanian Civil Code of 1864 is, in its essence, just a translation of The Napoleon Code, the concept of ownership is reflected in the legal culture of the two countries, strongly influenced by the socio-political context of each of them. A certain syncope can be observed in the evolution of ownership traits, in Romanian law compared to its French model. Strangely, the current Romanian notion of ownership right is closer to that of the Napoleon Code than the current figure of its French model.
Vânzarea bunului altuia în dreptul civil francez
Authors:   Universitatea din Lorraine, CHAUVIRÉ Philippe
Published: September 2021

"Usually considered illegal in the French civil law tradition, the sale of another's property is in reality the subject of more subtle treatment in positive law. From an absolute ban in 1804, the treatment is now more nuanced, with a tolerance for the sale of other people's things in many cases. This veiled admission should not come as a surprise. On the contrary, it deserves to be supported, since it is adapted to current forms of sale, particularly for consumer goods, restoring a clearer border between the formation and performance stages of the contract."
Differential expression of PDZ domain-containing ring finger 4 in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published and public microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding PDZ domain-containing ring finger 4, PDZRN4, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. PDZRN4 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. PDZRN4 expression correlated with progression-free survival in patients with p53 mutant ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of PDZRN4 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. PDZRN4 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.
Number attraction in verb and anaphor production
Authors: Kandel Margaret , Phillips Colin
Published: September 2021

Prior production research using the preamble-completion paradigm has elicited similar number attraction effects for both verbs and anaphora. However, this paradigm relies on comprehension and memory processes in addition to language production, making it difficult to assess the extent to which the observed attraction effects are caused by factors active during more natural production. In four production experiments, we compared number attraction effects on subject–verb and reflexive–antecedent agreement using a novel scene-description task in addition to a more traditional preamble elicitation paradigm. While the results from the preamble task align with prior findings, the more naturalistic scene-description task produced a contrast between the two dependency types, with robust verb attraction but very low rates of anaphor attraction. In addition to analyzing agreement error distributions, we also analyzed the production time-course of participant responses, finding timing effects that pattern with error distributions, even when no error is present. We discuss potential sources of variable susceptibility to number attraction, suggesting that differences may arise from the time-course of information processing across tasks and linguistic dependencies.
Pan-neuro: interactive computing at scale with BRAIN datasets

Published: September 2021

New technical and scientific breakthroughs are enabling neuroscientific measurements that are both wider in scope and denser in their sampling, providing views of the brain that have not been possible before. At the same time, funding initiatives, as well as scientific institutions and communities are promoting sharing of neuroscientific data. These factors are creating a deluge of neuroscience data that promises to provide new and meaningful insights into brain function. However, the size, complexity, and identifiability of the data also present challenges that arise from the difficulties in storing, accessing, processing, analyzing, visualizing and understanding data at large scale. Based on their successful adoption in the earth sciences, we have started adopting and adapting a set of tools for interactive scalable computing in neuroscience. We are building an approach that is based on a combination of a vibrant ecosystem of open-source software libraries and standards, coupled with the massive computational power of the public cloud, and served through interactive browser-based Jupyter interfaces. Together, these could provide uniform universal access to datasets for flexible and scalable exploration and analysis. We present a few prototype use-cases of this approach. We identify barriers and technical challenges that still need to be addressed to facilitate wider deployment of this approach and full exploitation of its advantages.
Agreement attraction error and timing profiles in continuous speech
Authors: Kandel Margaret , Wyatt Cassidy , Phillips Colin
Published: September 2021

Studies of agreement attraction in language production have shown that speakers systematically produce verb agreement errors in the presence of a local noun whose features differ from that of the agreement controller. However, in attraction experiments, these errors only ever occur in a subset of trials. In the present study, we applied a naturalistic scene-description paradigm to investigate how attraction affects the distribution of errors and the time-course of correctly inflected verbs. We conducted our experiment both in the lab and in an unsupervised web-based setting. The results were strikingly similar across the experimental settings for both the error and timing analyses, demonstrating that it is possible to conduct production experiments via the internet with a high level of similarity to those done in the lab. The experiments replicated the basic number attraction effect, though they elicited comparable interference from both singular and plural local nouns, challenging common assumptions about a strong plural markedness effect in attraction. We observed slowdowns before correct verbs that paralleled the distribution of agreement errors, suggesting that the process resulting in attraction can be active even when no error is produced. Our results are easily captured by a model of agreement attraction in which errors arise at the point of computing agreement, rather than reflecting earlier errors made during initial encoding of the subject number.
Resurrect3D: An Open and Customizable Platform for Visualizing and Analyzing Cultural Heritage Artifacts
Authors: Romphf Joshua
Published: September 2021

Art and culture, at their best, lie in the act of discovery and exploration. This paper describes Resurrect3D, an open visualization platform for both casual users and domain experts to explore cultural artifacts. To that end, Resurrect3D takes two steps. First, it provides an interactive cultural heritage toolbox, providing not onlycommonly used tools in cultural heritage such as relighting and material editing, but also the ability for users to create an interactive “story”: a saved session with annotations and visualizations others can later replay. Second, Resurrect3D exposes a set of programming interfaces to extend the toolbox. Domain experts can develop custom tools that perform artifact-specific visualization and analysis
Technical Comment on Jonason, P. K., & Luoto, S. (2021). The dark side of the rainbow: Homosexuals and bisexuals have higher Dark Triad traits than heterosexuals. Personality and Individual Differences, 181, 111040.

Jonason and Luoto (2021) examined group differences in Dark Triad (DT) traits across sexual orientations and interpreted their results as indicative of higher levels of Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism among sexual minority individuals. We address three ways in which this work lacks methodological rigor: (1) analytic decisions, (2) measurement invalidity, and (3) sampling approach. We conclude by raising concerns regarding cultural sensitivity, including a (4) lack of attention to sociocultural context as an explanatory factor and (5) inconsistency with guidelines from the APA for inclusive language.
Investigation on “gender” and “area of study” stereotypes among Irish third level students. This paper has been published in the IJERO, Elsevier, an open access peer review journal, link: https://authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S2666-3740(22)00049-8

Since the industrial revolution, we have witnessed the slow but steady change of the female identity from the single role of housewives raising their children to highly educated and professional individuals. Furthermore, the pursue of similar opportunities for both men and women in all areas of study and work, led to the investigation of the different stereotypes, regarding gender and area of study among men and women. A survey was conducted on Irish third level students to investigate the gender-area of study stereotypes among Irish third level students. A quantitative analysis was performed on the data collected, to identify the differences in the gender-area of study stereotypes of the two groups (females and males) of the participants. The study’s results indicate that males were higher scored as better performers in mathematics and having more ‘natural’ interest in Science. Also, men scored higher as the gender having personal preference, attitude, importance to be knowledgeable in Science and Mathematics. The results of this paper’s study, which align with the current international trends, indicate that the gender-area of study stereotype in favour of men still exists, especially within the female group of participants.
