Using Mobile Phones to Examine and Enhance Perceptions of Control in Mildly Depressed and Nondepressed Volunteers: Intervention Study (Preprint)
Authors: Msetfi Rachel , O'Sullivan Donal , Walsh Amy , Nelson John , Van de Ven Pepijn
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Perceived control is strongly linked to healthy outcomes, mental healthiness, and psychological well-being. This is particularly important when people have little control over things that are happening to them. Perceived control studies have been performed extensively in laboratory settings and show that perceived control can be increased by experimental manipulations. Although these studies suggest that it may be possible to improve people’s mental health by increasing their perceived control, there is very little evidence to date to suggest that perceived control can also be influenced in the real world.

OBJECTIVE

The first aim of this study was to test for evidence of a link between noncontrol situations and psychological well-being in the real world using a mobile phone app. The second and arguably more important aim of the study was to test whether a simple instructional intervention on the nature of alternative causes would enhance people’s perceptions of their own control in these noncontrol situations.

METHODS

We implemented a behavioral action-outcome contingency judgment task using a mobile phone app. An opportunity sample of 106 healthy volunteers scoring low (n=56, no depression) or high (n=50, mild depression) on a depression scale participated. They were given no control over the occurrence of a low- or high-frequency stimulus that was embedded in everyday phone interactions during a typical day lasting 8 hours. The intervention involved instructions that either described a consistent alternative cause against which to assess their own control, or dynamic alternative causes of the outcome. Throughout the day, participants rated their own control over the stimulus using a quantitative judgment scale.

RESULTS

Participants with no evidence of depression overestimated their control, whereas those who were most depressed were more accurate in their control ratings. Instructions given to all participants about the nature of alternative causes significantly affected the pattern of perceived control ratings. Instructions describing discrete alternative causes enhanced perceived control for all participants, whereas dynamic alternative causes were linked to less perceived control.

CONCLUSIONS

Perceptions of external causes are important to perceived control and can be used to enhance people’s perceptions. Theoretically motivated interventions can be used to enhance perceived control using mobile phone apps. This is the first study to do so in a real-world setting.
Evaluation of N-benzoylthiourea derivatives as popssible analgesic agents by predicting their hysicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity, and analgesic activity
Authors: Hardjono Suko , Siswandono Siswandono , Andayani Rina
Published: February 2018

This study aimed to predict the physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetic properties (ADME), toxicity, and analgesic activity of 30 compounds of N-benzoylthiourea derivatives that are potential analgesic drugs. One of the mechanisms of action of N-benzoylthiourea derivatives is the inhibition of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) isoenzyme. An in silico test was performed by docking a compound that would predict its activity with the target COX-2 isoenzyme, PDB ID: 1PXX, using the MVD (Molegro Virtual Docker) program. The result of the docking was a form of energy bond indicated by the value of the rerank score (RS), where compounds that had lower RS values were predicted to have a higher activity. The pkCSM and Protox online tools were used to predict various physicochemical properties. Based on the RS values, the N-benzoylthiourea derivatives can be predicted to have lower analgesic activity than diclofenac, the reference ligand. Three of the N-benzoylthiourea derivatives—N-(2,4-bis-trifluoromethyl)-benzoylthiourea, N-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl)benzoylthiourea, and N-(3-trifluoromethoxy)-benzoylthiourea—had RS values of -90.82, -94.73, and -92.76,  respectively, suggesting that these compounds were predicted to have analgesic activity relatively similar to diclofenac (RS value = -95.16). Furthermore, the majority of the  N-benzoylthiourea derivatives were predicted to have good pharmacokinetic properties (ADME), and cause relatively low toxicity.

The objective of this study was to determine the expression of growth factor signaling genes in human adiposederived stem cells (ASCs), porcine oocytes, and cumulus during in vitro maturation (IVM). The human ASCs (from 2 young and 2 old donors) were used for the co-culture IVM system. The maturation rate was examined based on polar body extrusion. The expression of the growth factor signaling genes from ASCs, oocytes, and cumulus were measured using qPCR. All data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. The expression of the h-IGF1 signaling genes from human ASCs cells showed similar values in all groups and the h-FGF2 expressions were higher in the young donors than the old ones. The p-FGF2, p-FGFR2, and p-TGFβ1 expressions in the oocytes as well as p-IGFR in the cumulus that were co-cultured from the young donors showed higher values than the old and control groups. The apoptotic ratio (p-BAX/p-BCL2) from the oocytes and cumulus in both co-culture groups also showed lower levels than the control (P<0.05). Oocyte maturation rates were significantly increased in all co-cultured groups (Y1 (85.9 ± 2.2%), Y2 (91.2 ± 1.1%), O1 (86.3 ± 1.5%), and O2 (86.5 ± 2.3%)) compared with the control (76.7 ± 1.1%; P<0.05). Although the expression of growth factor signaling genes was varied, young donors’ ASCs might support in vitro maturation beħer than those from old donors.
Frenemy in Media: Maritime Sovereignty and Propaganda on South China Sea
Authors: Wijaya Lupita
Published: February 2018

When Indonesia struggles to fight illegal fishing in 2016, Indonesian Navy has caught several Chinese fishing boats in its 200-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the Natuna Island. Although, many have trespassed Indonesia’s EEZ, conducted illegal fishing and been scuttled, China is the only country that backs up their fishermen with military forces. After Indonesia officially sent diplomatic protest note over the incident, China replied that the seizing had no official grounded as the area was actually claimed as traditional fishing ground by China. This position may leave Indonesia in frenemy position with China. Regional conflict such as South China Sea has been diligently highlighted in international coverage. If it’s about involvement of home country conflict, the concept of objectivity journalism has been under questioned. This embodied-concept has raised because of broad range of contextualization in international coverage. Interdependency between media systems and political systems interprets how propaganda influences on the media within the national interest frames of ideology, particularly when the global issue involving their home countries. There are nine propaganda techniques including name calling, glittering generalities, transfer, testimonial, plain folks, card stacking, bandwagon, frustration of scapegoat and fear. Applying comparative content analysis of Indonesian and Chinese state-run wire services of ANTARA and Xinhua, and three most popular news websites: China Daily, People’s Daily and Kompas this study identifies types of national interest frames including common, conflict, and threat interest frames. It is found out that media perform propaganda techniques which later depict the frenemy position according to their national interest frames.

FROM CONVENIENT HIBERNATION TO CIRCUMSTANTIAL DESPERATION: HATE SPEECH, PARTY POLITICAL COMMUNICATION AND THE NIGERIA’S 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS
Authors: Omilusi Mike
Published: February 2018

Até alguns meses para as eleições gerais de 2015, muitos partidos políticos que hibernaram convenientemente por uma boa parte da sua existência, talvez devido à falta de estrutura organizacional adequada ou base de apoio, programas descoordenados ou por terem sido registrados por ganhos pecuniários, de repente começaram a aparecer no espaço político. O principal partido da oposição e o partido no poder estavam ou aperfeiçoando processos de fusão ou envolvidos em discussões internas, de modo que a comunicação com o eleitorado em questões fundamentais tornou-se inconsequente. Na verdade, os dois partidos dominantes, o Partido Popular Democrata e o Congresso Progressista Geral apenas lançaram seus candidatos presidenciais menos de cinco meses para as eleições; e a campanha eleitoral assumiu a contestação desesperada em um clima de preconceito e intolerância. Os discursos de ódio e a violência foram as características de suas campanhas eleitorais. As eleições gerais de 2015, portanto, oferecem um contexto único para interrogar o lugar da comunicação política do partido em uma democracia emergente e, especificamente, como as campanhas de ódio entre os gladiadores políticos/partidos conflitantes poderiam gerar violência e, se não domesticadas, descarrilar a consolidação democrática. Este artigo afirma que o discurso de ódio não é apenas inspirado por algumas circunstâncias sociais, mas também parte de um processo democrático geral. Isso atesta o fato de que os políticos nigerianos se tornaram mais desesperados e ousados em tomar e manter o poder político; e mais intolerantes à oposição, críticas e esforços para substituí-los. Baseando-se amplamente em fontes secundárias com a ajuda de ferramentas descritivas e narrativas, este ensaio conclui que a cultura política de um país determina o comportamento e a atitude da população em relação ao sistema político, e que a transição democrática de uma administração para outra, particularmente em democracias emergentes, muitas vezes foi acompanhada de violência promovida pelos desejos do partido político no poder para consolidar seus apelos ao poder e pelo interesse dos interessados em capturar o mesmo.
Architecture in Sar Mountain villages
Authors: Gadzic Nebojsa
Published: February 2018

The development of settlements in the area of Sredacka, Sirinicka and
Goranska parishes should be seen in the context of entire Sar Mountain,
Kosovo and South-Western Balkans, where these high mountain parishes are
located. We can record the development of settlements in these Sar Mountain
parishes from its beginnings in this part of our country, since the Neolithic
period, through the ancient and early Christian period, followed by the
Middle Ages and up to the present day. There are visible traces of Pelasgic,
Illyrian, Thracian, in some parts Hellenistic, Roman, Slavic and Turkish-
Oriental influences and ethnic presence in these parishes. All these ethnic
processes, in conjunction with the natural environment and the socio-economic
circumstances, had their historical impact on the evolutionary development of
the Sar-mountain rural settlements. Rural settlements, villages, were built
on sites that permitted the production activity, with frequent cases of
renewal of existing settlements and the establishment of the new ones in
their immediate vicinity. The Medieval Serbian state led to strengthening of
the existing settlements, founding of the new ones, expansion of the existing
ones and the receiving specific tasks and obligations arising from the feudal
social order. These commitments were given in a number of charters and grants
of Serbian emperors, kings and nobles. These liabilities from the medieval
period would result in the emergence and subsequent smooth development of
"pecalbarenje" as a process that was very important for the development of
rural settlements in the Sar mountain parishes.
Brutalism in Serbian architecture: Style or necessity?
Authors: Alfirevic Djordje , Simonovic-Alfirevic Sanja
Published: February 2018

Historiography expresses a firm point of view that the movement of Brutalism
did not have a more significant influence on Serbian architecture. Several
researches in their essays point out that there are, however, certain works
by Serbian architects that could be denoted as Brutalist in style.
Nevertheless, after scientific analysis of the representative examples
materialized in raw concrete and brick and their comparison with authentic
interpretations of Brutalist principles, it is evident that Serbia does have
a significant number of architectural works representing Brutalism. The aim
of the research was to consider to what extent Brutalist architecture in
Serbia was the consequence of architects being inspired by modern world
Brutalism architecture, or whether its emergence stemmed from necessity, i.e.
specific social circumstances in Serbia during the 60s and 70s of the XX
century.
Post-socialism and urban transition: Transforming the socialist city
Authors: Neducin Dejana , Krkljes Milena
Published: February 2018

The paper investigates causal relationships and correlations between
transitional reforms and various levels of urban restructuring that has taken
place in the Central and Eastern Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Numerous urban changes were not regarded as series of separate ?events? with
a specific background in political, institutional, economic and/or social
context of transition, but as a set of results which, in a radical and
chaotic manner, deconstructed socialist and stimulated formation of the
post-socialist city. The post-socialist city is treated as a temporary
phenomenon that adapted to the rules and conditions of transferring from
socialism to capitalism or as a socio-spatial manifestation of various
transitional processes. The aim of the paper is to detect common influential
factors of genesis of the post-socialist urban landscape.
Maize germplasm of eastern Croatia with native resistance to western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte)

The western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte; WCR) is a
serious maize pest in Croatia. The species was first registered in Europe in
the early 1990s and since then became one of the most dangerous maize pests,
especially in parts of Central and Southeast Europe. Larvae that feed on the
maize roots cause the most serious damages in maize fields. Management of
this pest is difficult and expensive, with possible serious impact on the
environment. Native (or host-plant) resistance of maize against WCR could
provide new economically and ecologically sustainable options in WCR
management. Main goal of this study was to assess the variability of maize
germplasm, correlations among resistance traits, and detect potential sources
of resistance that could be used in breeding programs in order to develop
hybrids with higher level of resistance against WCR. To our knowledge, the
first native resistant hybrid is yet to be registered. Results showed great
variability of estimated germplasm. Effect of the genotype was significant in
all environments, as well as many interactions between genotype and the
environment. Significant interactions emphasize the importance of the
environment in WCR native resistance research. Significant positive
correlations among all traits were detected. Several inbred lines were
selected as a potentially useful germplasm for resistance breeding programs.

Vitality and in vitro pollen germination of different ‘Oblacinska’ sour cherry clones
Authors: Fotiric-Aksic Milica , Cerovic Radosav , Rakonjac Vera , Bakic Ivana , Colic Slavica , Meland Mekjell
Published: February 2018

Vitality of pollen, in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth
(pollen tube length and pollen tube growth rate) were investigated in
Oblacinska sour cherry in order to determine the differences between clones
which have divergent yielding potential. For this purpose two ?Oblacinska?
sour cherry clones with high fruit set and high yields (II/2, III/9) and two
with low fruit set and low-yielding (XI/3 and XIII/1) were used in this
study. Pollen germination was done on artificial medium containing 14%
sucrose and 0.3% agar-agar at room temperature (23?C). Pollen tube growth was
stopped with a drop of 40% formaldehyde, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after contact
with the medium. The maximum percentage of germination ranged from 13.01%
(clone II/2, after 1 h) to 54.19% (clone III/9, after 24 h). Pollen tube
length varied from 64.84 ?m (clone XIII/1, after 1 h) to >1,100 ?m (clones
II/2 and III/9, after 24 h). Pollen growth rate was quite high (up to 1.71 ?m
min-1) after 6 h of germination, but rather decreasing until 24 h of
germination (0.56-0.83 ?m min-1). The dynamics of in vitro pollen tubes
growth among the clones were quite different, especially after 12 h and 24 h
of germination. Clones that are singled out as fruitful (II/2 and III/9) gave
much better results regarding pollen germination and pollen tube growth in
comparison to clones which were characterized by low fruit set and yields
(XI/3 and XIII/1).
Impact of HLA -B*27 subtypes with increased susceptibility to seronegative spondyloarthropathies in Vojvodina population
Authors: Vojvodic Svetlana , Ademovic-Sazdanic Dusica
Published: February 2018

The aim of this study is to investigate which subtype of HLA-B*27 was associated with susceptibility of seronegative spondyloarthropathies (SpA) in Vojvodina patients. The dataset of the current study is composed of 172 SpA patients, among which there were 72 HLA-B*27+ (positive) and 100 HLA-B*27? (negative) patients. HLA-B*27 allele genotyping was carried out by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Sequence Specific Primer (PCR-SSP) method and low and high resolution tests, respectively. The association of HLA-B*27 subtypes with SpA was determined by the calculation of Relative Risk (RR) and Etiological Fraction (EF), while the allelic distribution between two group of patients was assessed by chi-square test. In HLA-B*27+ patients with SpA, the most common were patients with Reactive Arthritis (ReA) (41/72 or 56,94%) and Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) (17/72 or 23,61%). Statistically significant difference was found in HLA-B*27+ and HLA-B*27? patients among SpA subgroups studied: Arthritis Psoriatica (PsA), Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), Undifferentiated Spondyloarthritis (uSpA), Inflamatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Juvenilis Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and Reactive Arthritis (ReA). Two HLA-B*27 allele subtypes were found in SpA patients in Vojvodina: B*27:02 and B*27:05. Both HLA-B*27:02 and HLA-B*27:05 alleles have shown positive association with Ankylosing Spondylitis (RR=9.458 for B*27:02 and RR=6.585 for B*27:05), but significant Etiological Fraction (EF) or population attributive risk with value of 0.281 was found only for HLA-B*27:05 subtype. In this study we have showed, for the first time in Vojvodina population, that HLA-B*27:05 subtype have strong positive or susceptible association with Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Technological Peer Pressure and Product Disclosure
Authors: Cao Sean Shun , Ma Guang , Tucker Jennifer Wu , Wan Chi
Published: February 2018

We introduce a firm-specific measure of the technological aspect of competition—technological peer pressure—and examine firm-initiated product development-related press releases. We argue that empirical examinations of the theorized negative relation between competition and disclosure require the type of voluntary disclosure to be relevant to the dimension of competition under examination to ensure that firms incur significant proprietary costs of disclosure. In other words, many types of disclosure do not provide actionable information to competitors and, thus, should not be affected by that dimension of competition. We expect a negative relation between technological peer pressure and product disclosure because the latter reveals firms' strategies, allocations, and progress of technological investments in product development to competitors. In contrast, we do not expect a negative relation between technological peer pressure and management earnings forecasts—the most common type of voluntary disclosure used in accounting research. Our test results are consistent with these expectations.

The Interfirm Contracting Value of Management Accounting Information
Authors: Dekker Henri C. , Kawai Takaharu , Sakaguchi Junya
Published: February 2018

We examine how firms' management accounting information influences interfirm contract design. We theorize that comprehensive accounting information enables firms to design more complete contracts with suppliers, as indicated by increased issue inclusiveness and clause specificity. Survey data of Japanese manufacturing firms about the management of supplier relationships support the expectation that comprehensive management accounting information enables the development of more inclusive and specific contracts with suppliers. These contracts are also less subject to additional informal agreements between exchange partners. These results are consistent with the idea that better accounting information enables more complete contracting.
