Pupil size tracks the effects of global context and semantic ambiguity on word-meaning processing
Authors: Laurino Julieta , Kaczer Laura
Published: August 2024

Processing word meaning often appears effortless, yet the language system must frequently resolve ambiguity by integrating broad contextual information to ensure comprehension. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the facilitation of global semantic context on word-meaning access remains a key challenge in cognitive neuroscience. In this study, we explore whether global semantic context —specifically, the thematic content of a visually presented short text— reduces the cognitive demands of word-meaning processing. Using pupillometry, we examined the contributions of context congruency and semantic ambiguity across two tasks: a word-association task (Experiment 1) and a semantic relatedness task (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, global context congruence biased word associations toward context-consistent meanings, and, crucially, this was accompanied by a reduction in pupil size, indicating reduced cognitive effort. Experiment 2 revealed faster and more accurate responses in context-congruent conditions, with a concurrent reduction in pupil size. Notably, the effects of global context on pupil dilation were amplified for more ambiguous words, highlighting an interaction between lexical ambiguity and contextual facilitation. These findings provide new insights into the neurocognitive mechanisms of context-to-word interactions and validate pupillometry as a sensitive marker of cognitive effort during word-meaning processing.

Modeling enhances client understanding by creating a visual representation of their world, promoting facilitation, nurturing, and unconditional acceptance within their framework and perspective. The study investigates secondary-level teachers' practice of modeling skills in classrooms for student health promotion, focusing on Nepalese schools and considering the modeling constructs from the "modeling and role modeling theory." The study utilized a cross-sectional survey design with a descriptive quantitative approach, involving questionnaires distributed to secondary school teachers in three districts, Chitwan, Bhaktapur, and Rasuwa in 2018. Of the 1611 teachers, a total of 414 teachers were reached out for the self-administered structured questionnaire. The final sample size was 344 teachers with a response rate of 83.09%. The tool was made inclusive, evaluated for face validity, and maintained confidentiality and anonymity during data collection and presentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. The study found that teachers performed three categories of modeling for students' health: facilitation, nurturance, and unconditional acceptance. Those activities helped teachers understand their students' perspectives and realize their health situation. However, only 6.1% of teachers provided healthy experiences, 11.5% cared for students' health needs, and 34% performed unconditional acceptance. Persuasive techniques like facilitation, nurturance, and unconditional acceptance are crucial for strengthening persuasion and encouraging appropriate behaviors among the students. Authorities should conduct refresher training for teachers to promote these skills, as they are not reflected in real classroom situations. Further research is recommended to understand the causes of this discrepancy.

Authors: Tánczos Tamás , Csugány Julianna
Published: August 2024

In recent years, the pandemic crisis generated challenges for countries highlighting serious economic structural problems. Significant social and economic development differences remain not only between countries but also within countries. There is a consensus among economists that human resources are one of the most important factors in countries to realize technological progress and improve competitiveness, which aims to moderate income disparities. The income and technological inequalities between regions can be derived from differences in human resources, which also prevent the improvement of competitiveness and economic growth. This research aims to illustrate the inequalities of human resource conditions in the NUTS-2 level regions of the European Union. Using the latest version of the Regional Competitiveness Index and the Regional Innovation Scoreboard, the regional differences in human resources by innovation performance groups are analyzed with multivariate statistical methods to identify the critical human factor(s) that affect the region’s competitiveness and innovation performance. The improvement of these factors can be essential to moderate regional inequalities in the European Union.

Economic crises have triggered a boom in liberal discourses in the region, with a notable emergence of an anachronistic far-right movement that defends anti-rights, denialist and neoliberal ideologies. Of note is the experience of Brazil, where Bolsonarism made significant advances against the country’s scientific sector through budget cuts, hostility towards researchers, and anti-scientific rhetoric, which had a dramatic impact on the country’s scientific and technological landscape. Under the leadership of Jair Bolsonaro, this agenda of rejection of scientific knowledge had a disastrous impact during the pandemic. Currently, Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, considers Bolsonaro as a reference, sharing the ideological baggage of the Brazilian denialist. This trend is not immune to the global rise of disinformation campaigns aimed at discrediting scientific consensus and evidence-based policies. In line with what is happening in other parts of the world, Argentina has seen a significant growth in anti-science movements in recent years, driven by a strong reliance on social media. These movements deny and discredit scientific consensus, clinical trials, and academic articles. We have observed direct attacks on prestigious institutions in our science and technology system, such as Argentina’s National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), based on the distortion of research results, particularly in the social sciences, or through the dissemination of fake news on social media. In some cases, these attacks occurred in the context of budget cuts to the R&D system. Here I address a threat to Argentine science in the context of the current government cycle, highlighting the importance of publicly funded science.

El camino que han recorrido las mujeres para que su valor sea reconocido dentro de la sociedad, ha sido extremadamente difícil. Y es que la sociedad patriarcal que predomina en el mundo parece tener sus orígenes hace más de 5000 años, es decir, entre los años 6000 y 3000 a.C, en la civilización mesopotámica, donde los hombres tenían el control absoluto sobre los niños y mujeres. Como es de esperarse, este sistema regido por hombres y reforzado durante miles de años, ha permeado en todos los aspectos de la sociedad. El caso de la ciencia no es diferente, por lo que la tenacidad y la pasión de muchas mujeres por generar conocimiento han sido las únicas herramientas para vencer las barreras que un sistema patriarcal les ha impuesto.

Published: August 2024

The issue of the limit of technical and economic optimization of dry building mixes compositions does not lose its relevance and remains one of the main and priority issues in the industry. One of the ways to solve this issue is to use the most advanced chemical additives that minimize the cost of mixtures while maintaining the characteristics of the products. This paper discusses the use of rheological additive REOLIN RA 120 to optimize the compositions of plaster mixtures based on gypsum binder. It is shown that the use of REOLIN RA 120 in gypsum compositions reduces the complexity of plastering by increasing the range of permissible water-solid ratio, reducing the consumption of dry mix and improving the surface texture. The algorithm of introducing the additive and its effect on the indicators characterizing the complexity of preparation, application, leveling of the solution and subsequent treatment of the plaster surface is described.

Published: August 2024

Data on the effect of long-term storage of silicate bricks in various conditions: in the air and on the ground, on its strength and phase composition are presented. It has been established that over seven years of storage, there is no decrease in the compressive strength of the brick, regardless of its initial strength. Analysis of the phase composition of the silicate brick showed that portlandite, calcite and tobermorite are present in all samples in addition to quartz. Quantitative analysis of the curves of differential thermal analysis indicates that when storing bricks on the ground, the processes of carbonation of free lime and calcium hydrosilicates in the stone occur much faster, which is probably due to its higher humidity and more favorable conditions for the penetration of carbon dioxide into the depth of the structure. It is likely that a longer period of time is needed to identify the influence of storage conditions and the initial strength of silicate bricks on their durability, which will be a continuation of this study.
Education Sector Performance in the Frontier, Outermost and Least Developed (3T) and Non-3T Regions: The Role of the Specific Allocation Fund (DAK) in the Education Sector

Published: August 2024

The transfer of sector-specific funds is expected to have a maximum output impact as a result of competition between regions for such funding, thus encouraging the convergence of the quality and quantity of education in Indonesia. This study aims to estimate the relationship between DAK education funds and the gross enrolment ratio (GER) in primary and junior high schools and the difference in the influence of such funds for education in 3T and non-3T regions in 2015-2017. The main findings show that DAK can increase the GER at primary and junior high school levels, with its impact in 3T regions being more elastic than in non-3T regions. This is probably due to the lack of facilities and infrastructure in the former. Therefore, the transfer of DAK can accelerate the additional availability of education facilities and infrastructure, thus increasing the GER. The results imply that the government should continue to improve and expand the scheme in order to improve the achievement of educational performance through GER and to improve governance DAK policies, both at the central government and local government levels.

Authors:   Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants, NAS of Ukraine, Khvalin D. I.
Published: August 2024

It is shown that the number of damages of turbogenerators on the Ukrainian nuclear power plants units increased due to the end or approach to the end of their operation life. In addition, some of these generators are operating in maneuverable conditions that negatively affect their technical state. The most unreliable design has been determined according to the statistics for the powerful turbogenerators operation at nuclear power plants in Ukraine and abroad. The main reasons for the falling work of turbogenerators on the Ukrainian nuclear power plants units and possible ways to improve their reliability, safety and operation efficiency are also shown. Ensuring stable operation of generators is possible under conditions of a significant increase in the volume of diagnostics with a simultaneous reduction in the terms of interdiagnostic period, as well as through the use of additional effective methods and means for diagnosing their technical state directly during operation. Diagnostics and control of the real state of power equipment are becoming almost the only measures that allow reducing the number of emergency shutdowns and avoiding accidents with heavy consequences as much as possible, and also increasing the economic efficiency of electricity generation. An important direction in solving the problem of technical renewal in the electric power industry together with the comprehensive replacement of equipment with a new one, is to ensure reliable and efficient operation of turbogenerators with their modernization based on the latest achievements of science and technology to increase technical and economic indices, as well as the extension of the total resource.

The most important results of the scientific and scientific-organizational activities of the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 2023 are presented. Even under the conditions of a large-scale invasion of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine and the continuation of hostilities by the Russian aggressor, the employees of the Institute completed all the planned tasks, which primarily became possible due to the introduction of a number of organizational measures, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by a significant increase in the quality of scientific results, their implementation, as well as the publication activity of researchers. Over the years of eliminating the consequences of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident, performing scientific research at the Shelter object and in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, a unique experience has been accumulated that allows us to solve complex tasks of ensuring the appropriate level of nuclear, radiation and environmental safety of the energy industry of Ukraine and facilities, which use nuclear technologies. The results of the Institute’s research work are implemented in practical activities at power units of nuclear power plants of Ukraine, during the scientific and technical support of works on the Shelter object transformation into an ecologically safe system and the construction of the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility. The importance of the Institute in solving topical and strategically important scientific and technical tasks in the war and post-war periods has been approved by the management of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, experts in evaluating the effectiveness of its activities, as well as international partners. All this indicates the possibility of further development and, if necessary, the expansion of the scope of complex tasks, which are solved by specialists of the Institute.
On the Issue of Statistically Significant Differences between the Average Values of Plastic Features in Two Groups of Juvenile Fish and between the Average Values of Their Indices
Authors: Lobyrev F. S.
Published: August 2024

The regularities that determine the preservation and/or change of statistically significant differences during the transition from comparing the average values of plastic signs of juvenile fish to comparing the average values of their indices have been studied. An algorithm for evaluating the factors determining the variability of plastic features and their indices in allometry is proposed. Three cases of variability were identified and parametrized: (a) statistically significant differences are absent between the values of plastic features and their indices, (b) significant differences disappear when switching from comparing features to comparing their indices, and (c) significant differences in both cases remain. Case (b) is associated with different initial length of juveniles and different hatching time; case (c) is determined by different growth rates in the compared groups. The approach was tested on the selection of fingerlings of the Regsa fluviatilus L. perch from two reservoirs of the Staritsky district of the Tver region.
Microscopic Counting of the Total Number of Bacteria and Metabolically Active Bacteria in Soil Samples: Their Relationship and Oscillative Dynamics of Number

Published: August 2024

Experimental results of daily counting under a microscope for 30 days of prokaryotic cells in preparations from soil samples when stained with different specific dyes and literary results on daily counting of bacteria in soil using different methods are presented. The FITC dye, which stains the entire set of bacterial cells, revealed a wave-like dynamics of cell numbers with different numbers of oscillations in the form of peaks in all experiments. Using the SFDA dye, which detects only living, metabolically active cells, wave-like dynamics were also revealed, but their oscillating number was significantly less. The reliability of oscillations and differences in cell numbers when using different dyes were confirmed statistically and by harmonic analysis. The wave-like dynamics of living, metabolically active cells is a consequence of the cycles of growth and death of bacterial cells and short-term trophic succession in the microbial community. External disturbing influences did not affect the manifestation of wave-like population dynamics, both in the population of living cells and in the total number of cells. The phenomenon of wave-like dynamics of non-living bacterial cells and their numerical superiority is explained by the fact that cells, losing viability, lyse and disintegrate not immediately after dying, but with some delay in time. This leads to the accumulation and permanent superiority of the pool of dead cells when microscopically counting the total number of bacteria in the soil and explains the discrepancy in bacterial numbers between different counting methods. The presented experimental and literary material will serve as a substantiation for microbiologists and biotechnologists of the need to control the dynamics of the numbers of introduced populations and communities of microorganisms into the natural environment, as well as a source of knowledge for the successful management of natural microbial communities.
Сорбция ионов никеля на гидроксиде железа(III), свежеосажденном из раствора сульфата железа(II). Часть 1. Механизм и эффективность сорбционного процесса
Authors: Линников О. Д. , Родина И. V.
Published: August 2024

В работе изучены сорбционные свойства гидроксида железа(III), полученного осаждением из раствора сульфата железа(II), в отношении ионов никеля. Исследование выполнено при комнатной температуре на модельном растворе сульфата натрия (400 мг/л), который имитировал загрязненные природные и сточные воды. Показано, что удаление ионов никеля из модельного раствора осадком свежеосажденного гидроксида железа(III) при рН 7 и 8 с удовлетворительной точностью описывается классическими изотермами адсорбции Фрейндлиха, Ленгмюра и Дубинина – Радушкевича. Рассчитанные по последнему уравнению значения свободной энергии адсорбции не превышают 8 кДж/моль, что свидетельствует о физической природе адсорбции и исключает ионообменное взаимодействие ионов никеля с гидроксидом железа(III). Наиболее полно удаление ионов никеля из раствора происходит при сорбции гидроксидом железа(III) при рН 8. Сорбционная емкость гидроксида железа(III) по ионам никеля как при рН 7, так и при рН 8 почти на порядок превосходит аналогичную величину для многих минеральных, углеродных и угольных сорбентов. Сопоставление эффективности сорбционной очистки модельного раствора с помощью осадков гидроксида железа(III), полученных осаждением из растворов сульфата железа(II) и хлорида железа(III), показало, что наиболее глубокое удаление ионов никеля достигается при использовании осадков гидроксида железа(III), полученных из раствора FeCl3.
EFFECT OF COLOR RANDOMIZATION ON pT BROADENING OF FAST PARTONS IN TURBULENT QUARK-GLUON PLASMA
Authors: Zakharov B. G.
Published: August 2024

We analyze the effect of the parton color randomization on pT broadening in the quark-gluon plasma with turbulent color fields. We calculate the transport coefficient for a simplified model of fluctuating color fields in the form of alternating sequential transverse layers with homogenous transverse chromomagnetic fields with random orientation in the SU(3) group and gaussian distribution in the magnitude. Our numerical results show that the color randomization can lead to a sizable reduction of the turbulent contribution to ˆq. The magnitude of the effect grows with increasing ratio of the electric and magnetic screening masses.

Background: The use of PD TSE fat saturation (FS) sequences in coronal section of the MRI knee joint routine examination revealed artifacts caused by popliteal artery pulses. Meanwhile, there is T2 FS sequence with the BLADE technique that can reduce motion artifacts, but isn't used in the knee joint routine MRI examinations. BLADE is a technique of filling radial k-space around the center of k-space, thereby reducing motion artifacts and improving image quality. The aim of this study is to determine the differences in anatomical information, artifacts, and sequences that optimally reveal the anatomical information of knee joint between the PD TSE FS and T2 FS BLADE coronal section.Methods: This study used a quantitative research methods with an experimental approach. The sample of this study are 10 healthy volunteers and 2 radiologists as respondents. Each volunteer undergo an MRI knee joint examination with the PD TSE FS and T2 FS BLADE coronal section. The results of the two sequence images were assessed by the two respondents to obtain data for assessing anatomical information on the ACL, PCL, collateral ligament, articular cartilage, meniscus, subchondral bone, and artifact information. Data that has been obtained is processed using the Wilcoxon test.Results: The results shows that there are differences in the anatomical information of ACL, PCL, articular cartilage, and meniscus between the PD TSE FS and T2 FS BLADE coronal section. Meanwhile, there is no difference in the anatomy of the collateral ligament and subchondral bone. There is also a difference in artifact information between the two sequences.Conclusions: The T2 FS BLADE sequence is more optimal than the PD TSE FS sequence in displaying anatomic information and is also more optimal in suppressing ghosting artifacts from the popliteal artery pulse.

Security and protection of the data is the core objective of every organization, but since cyber-attacks got more advanced than ever before, the data is compromised more often, resulting in financial loss, life loss, or privacy breaches as its consequences. There must be a system that can deal with the increasing number of cyber-attacks in flight operations, which are increasing in numbers and sophistication. Since we know that the traditional intrusion detection system is not capable enough to protect the data and as many human lives are at stake in flight operations, an unfortunate data corruption attack could give rise to a catastrophe. In this paper, we proposed a blockchain-based intrusion detection system for flight operations framework to protect the data’s privacy and avoid data corruption in flight operations. Blockchain not only protects data from corruption but also circumvents the challenges faced by intrusion detection systems which include trust and consensus building between different nodes in a network that can enhance the capability of the intrusion detection system.
