Exploring the integration of emotional, cognitive and physiological processing in preschool
Authors: Ramírez Verónica Adriana , Ruetti Eliana
Published: November 2023

Introduction: in recent decades, great importance has been given to the joint study of emotional, cognitive, and physiological processes. Emotions play an important role in allowing the regulation and adaptation of people to the environment, which is key to mental and physical health and well-being. However, little research analyzes the integration of these processes in preschoolers. The present study analyzes the emotional, cognitive, and physiological processing of 4- and 5-year-old girls and boys.
Methods: forty-two 4- and 5-year-old children participated and were administered a Stroop-type task under a neutral or positive condition to analyze the effect of emotional valence on performance and heart rate.
Results: an increase in heart rate was found during the Stroop-like task in both conditions. A decrease in heart rate was also observed in the positive condition of the task in the girl group and the 5-year-old group. Finally, heart rate variability correlated inversely with reaction time in the neutral condition.
Discussion: the results show that cognitive demand increases heart rate beyond task valence and that positive valence decreases heart rate as a function of age and gender. These findings emphasize integrating individual characteristics when studying emotional, cognitive, and physiological processing during development and considering biopsychosocial health.

The present study addresses the concern for the well-being of teachers and school personnel by examining the efficacy of a multicomponent positive psychology intervention aimed at enhancing emotional well-being in the school environment. The study design comprised a clustered randomized controlled trial, targeting teachers and school personnel working in Finnish basic education. Data collection encompassed the utilization of both the Experience Sampling Method (ESM, n = 241) to assess state-like emotions and questionnaires (n = 245) to evaluate trait-like emotions. The results showed a post-intervention increase in state-like distinct emotions of interest and a trend towards increased engagement in the intervention group, and conversely, increased stress in the control group. Positive trait-like emotions increased in the intervention group post intervention. The intervention further resulted in decreased stress and loneliness amongst teachers and school personnel when in the company of students, and decreased stress while working. The results indicate that positive psychology interventions may be efficacious in enhancing teachers’ emotional well-being. Additionally, assessing both state- and trait-like emotions contributes to a broader understanding of this efficacy, whilst measuring teachers’ experienced emotions can increase ecological validity. Keywords: positive psychology, teachers, positive emotions, experience sampling method.

Physical Education (PE) teachers’ responsibility is critical in supporting the development of students’ motivation, positive attitude and behaviour. . This study explored students’ conflict management styles, the most common sources of conflicts during PE, and the relationship between conflict management styles, self-perceived health and social-emotional wellbeing among high school students in Hungary. A self-administered, anonymous, cross-sectional survey was completed by students in high school (n=385, 54.8 % female Mage =16.98 yrs, SD. 1.28). Only 2.9% of the students reported applying a collaborating management style. These students also rated their health higher. However, students with competitive conflict management were more satisfied with their lives. Most students never had conflicts with the teacher, and if any, they used accommodating conflict management strategies. Behavioural expectations, extreme performance requirements, and disliking the subject were the most common sources of conflicts in PE. The conflict management strategies did not significantly correlate with the psychosomatic symptoms scale; however, students with collaborating conflict management reported fewer sleep problems. These findings underpin the significant role of conflict management skills in health and social-emotional wellbeing. Keywords: adolescent, team sports, physical education, wellbeing, conflicts

Published: November 2023

This study examines how student engagement and social relationships between teachers and students may enhance the learning experiences of students in a South African university. Two separate sets of semi-structured interviews were held with 27 university teachers and 51 students respectively. The findings revealed that that the relationships between the behavioural and cognitive dimensions of student engagement and social relationships between teachers and students are motivated by good relational communication; relational pedagogy; good inter-relational culture; teacher relational competences (cognitive, behavioural and inter-cultural); and teacher demonstration of care. The current study adds to the literature on relational pedagogy and student engagement by highlighting the importance of inter-relational culture and teacher relational competences to the behavioural and cognitive development of university students. Moreover, when students and particularly, first generation students, students from low socio-economic backgrounds and students from rural communities develop good relationships with their teachers, they are set to have positive learning experiences. Keywords: Student engagement, learning experiences, social relationships, inter-relational culture, teacher competences

Published: November 2023

A new amorphous alloy (Al74Cu16Mg10)99,7Zr0.3 was prepared the applying a melt-spinning technique. Temperature dependence of viscosity of the alloy was determined using data from a PerkinElmer TMS2 thermo-mechanical analyzer processed according to a methodology based on the Free Volume Model (FVM). The strength of the alloy was calculated according to the Yang equation and the glass-forming ability was calculated according to the values of the Angell index mA. The activation energy of crystallization and the activation energy of the glass transition were computed using data from differential scanning calorimetry and thermomechanical experiments respectively. The activation energy of crystallization Еx = 168 ± 3.7 kJ/mol, was found to be higher than the activation energy of the glass transition Еg = 156 ± 1.4 kJ/mol, which means a dominant contribution of the atomic transport barrier, compared to the nucleation barrier. The relatively high temperature interval of the supercooled melt state Tx-Tg = 32 K and the low viscosity values in the same range ƞ(Тg) = 3.40E + 11 Pa.s and ƞ(Тx) = 1.87E + 10 Pa.s would allow thermomechanical treatment of the alloy in the temperature range of supercooled melt.
Einkommensungleichheit als Gefahr für die Demokratie - WSI-Verteilungsbericht 2023
Authors: BRÜLLE JAN , SPANNAGEL DOROTHEE
Published: November 2023

Der Verteilungsbericht untersucht, wie sich Einkommensungleichheit in Deutschland in den letzten Jahren entwickelt hat, und analysiert, wie sich unterschiedliche Positionen in der Einkommensverteilung in unterschiedlichen Alltagserfahrungen niederschlagen. Es zeigt sich: Die Einkommensungleichheit insgesamt wie auch die Armutsquoten sind deutlich höher als in den vergangenen Dekaden. In den ersten Pandemie-Jahren finden sich Hinweise auf einen weiteren Anstieg der Armut, wobei die Zahlen im Jahr 2022 wieder leicht rückläufig waren. Daten für das Jahr 2021 zeigen zudem, dass insbesondere dauerhaft Arme häufig das Gefühl haben, dass andere auf sie herabsehen. Einkommensreiche hingegen nehmen häufig gesellschaftliche Anerkennung wahr. Klar zu sehen ist auch, dass das Vertrauen in demokratische Institutionen umso geringer ist, je niedriger das Einkommen ist. Mehr als 50 % aller dauerhaft Armen bringen unseren Parteien und Politiker*innen nur ein geringes Vertrauen entgegen. Das zeigt deutlich, welche Risiken große soziale Ungleichheiten für die Legitimität des demokratischen Systems bergen.

Given that resilience is the ability to cope with adversities, and impulsivity is characterized with rapid reactions without foresight, we aimed to explore the pathways between intra-familial childhood adversities, resilience, impulsivity and suicidal behaviors among adolescents in Mahdia and Gafsa cities (Tunisia). We conducted a cross-sectional study in secondary schools from January to February 2020. Exposure to intra-familial early life experiences was evaluated by the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)-International Questionnaire. Resilience and impulsivity were assessed via the Adolescent Psychological Resilience and the Barratt Impulsivity Scale. A total of 3170 students were recruited with a response rate of 74%. About 81.1% of them reported being emotionally abused. The resilience mean score was 86.10 ± 9.85. Impulsivity was screened among 42.2% of them. About 38% of students presented suicidal thoughts, 16.4% had a suicide plan, and 10.8% have made a suicide attempt. We found that exposure to intra-familial ACEs predicts suicidal behaviors through impulsiveness (% mediated = 18% for emotional violence) and interpersonal resilience (% mediated = 24% for emotional violence; % mediated = 20.4% for physical violence). Our results emphasize the need to prevent ACEs, and to seek out a way to promote ACE protective factors among adolescents such as resilience.

Authors: Xu Xiangliang , Zhang Tianxian , Zhao Yongqi , Dai Wanying , Wu Si , Li Guodong
Published: November 2023

The memristor has attracted more and more attention due to its broad application prospect. The theory of memristors is being gradually improved. The first is to derive a general voltage-controlled discrete memristor (DM) model from another perspective-circuit, which proves that it conforms to the definition of Memristor, and a Simulink model of the discrete memristor is built to implement the simulation. The other one is the conventional magnetron titanium dioxide (i.e., D) memristor model. In order to explore the adaptability of these two types of memristor models, this paper constructs two types of memristor chaotic systems based on them and performs dynamics analysis to verify the applicability of the above memristor models, which lays the foundation for the application of memristor chaotic systems in the field of communication security.
The Battle Against Antibiotic Resistance: Novel Therapeutic Options for Acinetobacter baumannii
Authors: Emami Amir , Pirbonyeh Neda , Javanmardi Fatemeh
Published: November 2023

Undoubtedly, Acinetobacter baumannii stands out as one of the most effective bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections within the healthcare system. Due to its multidrug-resistant nature and the frequency of outbreaks that it causes the treatment of infections caused by this bacterium is challenging, antimicrobial combination therapy has been utilized to treat multidrug resistance Gram-negatives when monotherapy is ineffective. In contrast to antibiotics or short peptides, which possess only the capacity to bind and regulate a specific target, antibodies exhibit supplementary properties attributed to their Fc region, including opsonophagocytic activity, the agglutination process, and activation of the complement system. The criticality of antibodies is exemplified in triggering immunity against A. baumannii, stimulating protective mechanisms, preventing bacterial attachment to epithelial cells, opsonization, and complement-dependent bacterial destruction. Given antibodies’ significant role in humoral immunity, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) may be generated to specifically bind to certain targets, thereby providing supplemental defense as a form of immunotherapy or passive immunization. Many encouraging tactics, ranging from phage therapy to immunotherapy, are being scrutinized for their efficacy in treating infectious diseases, thus shaping the future treatment landscape.

This chapter deals with the first month of life of the newborns in India. Although it is a global issue, the chapter focuses on the issue giving the history, perspective, current situation, and the future of newborns in India. Being the second most populous country in the world, the lessons learnt from India on neonatal care can be adopted by other countries. The application of the neonatal care on a large scale in India has been slow and gradual as it needs a multidimensional strategy. The neonatal care is at two poles. One at the in-reach and the other at the level of out-reach. The former is at the institutional level and the later at the institutional level. Both the concepts are detailed out in the chapter. The chapter also factors in the multiheaded dependent indicator, such as neonatal mortality rate, that impacts poverty, and thus social development. The chapter discusses the child survival interventions through the reduction of child mortality in India and aspires that India achieve the sustainable development goal related to child mortality.

Directive-optative markers in Slavic : observations on their persistance and change
Authors: Wiemer Björn
Published: November 2023

The article examines the usage range and the provenance of 'particles' that, in Slavic languages, are employed as markers of directive-optative speech acts. The investigation concentrates on typical representatives derived from LET-verbs (*nehati, pustiti) and on Cz. ať. These units serve not only as illocutionary markers, but have found their way into domains of clause combining, such as concessive or complement clauses. As a pilot study, this article presents pieces of a global picture that should bring together issues concerning the diachronic development of these units in terms of syntactic variability and semantic expansion, and how both correlate. Jointly, the article raises general methodological issues relevant for clause combining and the representation of meaning variation on a synchronic and a diachronic level.

Truth within Reason
Authors: Sosa David ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2023

It can be seen as a mark against a belief that its causal history be disconnected from the truth. And that idea fits well with the view that discovering that a belief’s causal history is so disconnected itself diminishes its normative status. But this latter view can also be held independently: believing that your belief was influenced by irrelevant factors might be seen as problematic even should it not be seen as in general a mark against a belief that it be caused in one way or another. I pursue a more radical rejection of the role of truth in an adequate understanding of the normative status of belief. If a belief can be perfectly good independently of its connection to the truth, then perhaps it can be perfectly good even for an agent who knows that it is not causally determined by the truth.
Postural stability as a determinant of agility in ice hockey
Authors: Broďáni Jaroslav , Guzman Matúš , Huszár Viktor
Published: November 2023

Purpose
In this paper, we highlight the interactions of dynamic postural stability (DPS) and running agility of ice hockey players in Slovakia.
Material and methods
Postural stability was assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and agility by the 6x9m running test. We expected significant interactions between agility test performance and DPS for both legs in all directions tested.
The level of DPS was characterized by descriptive statistics. Laterality between right and left standing leg was assessed by Student's t-test. The relationships between DPS and agility were investigated by Pearson correlation coefficient "r". Statistical significance of differences and relationships was assessed at the 5% significance level.
Results
The results of the correlation analysis pointed to interactions of movement performance in the agility of hockey players with DPS predominantly with all tested directions (p<0.05). Non-significant interactions (p>0.05) were demonstrated only with the Anteriomedial direction in the right standing leg and in the Anterior position for the left standing leg. Differences in laterality between the right and left standing leg were found only in the Anteriomedial and PosteroMedial directions (p<0.05).
Stepwise regression showed the highest tightness of agility on the left leg in the Medial direction (average values ​​r = 0.665, Beta*r = 44.23%) and Posterolateral direction (maximum values ​​r = 0.665, Beta*r = 44.23%). On the right leg, in the Posteromedial direction (average values ​​r = 0.658, Beta*r = 44.01%) and the Posterior direction (maximum values ​​r = 0.663, Beta*r = 43.90%).
Conclusions
The positive interactions of agility and DPS in hockey players highlight the importance of a balanced and stable stance of both feet in all directions. Perfect balance and stability of hockey players eliminates fluctuations created by running or skating movement in all directions and facilitates their execution without major changes in dynamic performance.  It also significantly increases the chances of reducing the activation time of the muscle chains involved in the test execution technique, or in the structure of hockey players' skating technique itself.

Authors:   Department of Medical Laboratory Science, Kampala International University, Uganda, Dorothy Katushabe
Published: November 2023

Pre-eclampsia stands as a major contributor to maternal mortality, perinatal complications, preterm births, and restricted fetal growth. Globally, it ranks among the top three causes of maternal mortality and affects 6-8% of pregnancies, contributing to approximately nine percent of maternal deaths in Africa. This study aimed to identify factors linked to preeclampsia prevalence among pregnant women receiving antenatal care at Fortportal Regional Referral Hospital. Conducting a hospital-based cross-sectional study involving 60 pregnant women, data collection employed a structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis with SPSS version 25 determined Odds Ratios with 95% confidence intervals, marking significance at p values <0.05. Findings revealed several significant associations. Sociodemographic factors like lower maternal age, limited education, and reduced income were linked to pre-eclampsia, alongside obstetric factors including lower parity (≤ 4), overweight status, a history of gestational diabetes mellitus, shorter interpregnancy intervals (≤ 2 years), and previous diagnoses of gestational hypertension. The study underscores the critical need for urgent interventions in the district to address these identified risk factors and prevent and manage pre-eclampsia effectively among pregnant women attending Fortportal Regional Referral Hospital. Both socio-economic and obstetric factors significantly contribute to the occurrence of pre-eclampsia, necessitating targeted interventions for improved maternal and fetal health outcomes. Keywords: prevalence, pre-eclampsia, pregnant women, antenatal care
