Decision Making Under Extinction Risk
Authors: Maier Maximilian , Harris Adam John Linton , Kellen David , Singmann Henrik
Published: January 2025

In everyday life, people routinely make decisions that involve irredeemable risks such as death (e.g., while driving). Even though these decisions under extinction risk are common, practically important, and have different properties compared to the types of decisions typically studied in psychology, they have received little research attention. The present work advances the formal understanding of decision making under extinction risk by introducing a novel experimental paradigm, the Extinction Gambling Task (EGT). We derive optimal strategies for three different types of extinction and near-extinction events, and compare them to participants' choices in three experiments. Leveraging computational modelling to describe strategies at the individual level, we document strengths and shortcomings in participants' decisions under extinction risk. Specifically, we find that, while participants are relatively good in terms of the qualitative strategies they employ, their decisions are nevertheless affected by loss chasing, scope insensitivity, and opportunity cost neglect. We hope that by formalising decisions under extinction risk and providing a task to study them, this work will facilitate future research on an important topic that has been largely ignored.

Published: January 2025

Adolescence is a period of increased risk for the onset of depression. However, theneurobiological mechanisms underlying this vulnerability remain poorly understood despitesubstantial investment and efforts in this research area. In this Perspective article, we reviewexisting literature on the links between the adolescent brain and depression risk anddevelopment and discuss methodological and conceptual challenges related to quantifyingbrain features and measuring depression. We highlight the importance of considering bothlarge-scale longitudinal cohort studies and smaller focused investigator-led studies with deepphenotyping to advance our understanding of the neural basis of depression in adolescence.Emphasising the need to embrace the developmental context and refine our methodologies,we propose several considerations to help current and future researchers advance ourunderstanding of how the developing brain influences depression risk in today’s youth.
Understanding learning variability in early childhood: An equity-centered assessment of cognitive regulation among diverse preschool children
Authors: DeJoseph Meriah Lee , Merculief Alexis , Sulik Michael J. , Obradovic Jelena
Published: January 2025

Children’s learning is shaped by inequitable access to resources, which contribute to persistent socioeconomic, racial, and linguistic disparities. Early assessment of foundational cognitive skills provides a promising, more equitable alternative to knowledge-based tests for identifying these learning disparities, though such assessments are susceptible to measurement biases linked to children’s developmental contexts. This study evaluated the validity and predictive utility of short, scalable direct assessments of cognitive regulation—tapping inhibitory control, working memory, and processing speed—administered to a diverse sample of preschool children (Fall N = 866; Spring N = 1111; Mean Age = 4.3 years). Using moderated nonlinear factor analysis, we identified measurement biases related to age, sex, socioeconomic status, and racial identity, revealing how cognitive regulation skills function differently across groups. Adjusting for these biases yielded more accurate insights than raw scores, revealing nonlinear growth in cognitive regulation, distinct sex differences, and widening racial disparities as children aged. Cognitive regulation assessed in the fall was more predictive of teacher-reported school readiness than change from fall to spring, underscoring its utility as an early screening tool. Findings highlight the promise of equitable assessments of cognitive regulation while emphasizing the need for early learning initiatives that address structural inequalities and promote children’s cognitive strengths.

Middle Devonian conodonts of the Southern Verkhoyansk Region
Authors: Baranov V. V.
Published: January 2025

Givetian conodonts demonstrate a wide geographical distribution and are instrumental in establishing biostratigraphic correlations at both regional and global levels. Nevertheless, their study in the Southern Verkhoyansk Region has only recently begun. I initially identified these conodonts in Tikhii Creek basin situated on the right bank of the first left tributary of Komar Creek, adjacent to the Vostochnaya Khandyga River, the Sette-Daban Range. In this area, the gypsum-bearing sediments of the Tikhiiskaya Suite underlie the carbonate Zagadochninskaya Suite. During a state-funded geological survey, these suites were classified as the Burkhalinskaya series. Geologists assigned the conglomerates at the base of the Tikhiiskaya Suite and the variegated sediments overlain by basalt to the Givetian Stage. This study suggests that the boundary between the Lower and Middle Devonian periods should be delineated at the base of the conglomerate strata, while the variegated volcanic strata capped by basalt should be classified within the Emsian Stage of the Lower Devonian. The findings related to five taxa of conodonts, which belong to two successive complexes originating from the boundary deposits of the Eifelian and Givetian Stages found along Komar Creek, are reported for the first time. The lower complex, distinguished by the presence of conodonts such as Dvorakia sp., Icriodus expansus Branson and Mehl (1938), Polygnathus parawebbi Chatterton (1974), P. costatus subspecies A, P. parawebbi, and Neopanderodus pearleneatus (Ziegler and Lindström 1971), is identified within the Upper Eiffelian Stage. Conversely, the upper complex, which includes subspecies Polygnathus linguiformis linguiformis Hinde (1879) and P. xylus xylus Stauffer (1940), is indicative of the Givetian Stage. The boundary between the Eiffelian and Givetian Stages in the Tikhii-Komar section is likely situated between beds 5 and 6. Consequently, based on the conodont data, the Tikhiiskaya Suite should be classified as Eiffelian in age. Presumably, the basal layers of the Zagadochninskaya Suite correspond to this same geological stage.

Published: January 2025

The response of biota to both global and regional climate changes represents a critical topic extensively examined in the scientific literature. This study aims to investigate the correlation between climatic changes in Central Yakutia and the phenological development of three indigenous steppe plant species. The species under consideration include Gagea pauciflora, Phlox sibirica, and Phlomoides tuberosa, which belong to different rhythmological groups. The research employed data from long-term phenological observations conducted in accordance with the methodology established by I.N. Beydeman (1974). A comprehensive analysis of the long-term climatic and phenological data reveals that the changing climate in Central Yakutia elicits a modest yet complex phenological response among the studied species. Notably, Gagea pauciflora, an ephemeroid, demonstrates the highest degree of phenological stability over a 50-year observation period, with all recorded shifts in its phenological development remaining statistically insignificant at the 0.05 level. The seasonal development of Gagea pauciflora occurs primarily in May and June and exhibits minimal sensitivity to meteorological conditions, indicating the species’ resilience to spring temperature fluctuations. Statistically significant alterations in phenological timing were noted exclusively during the vegetation termination phase for Phlox sibirica and Phlomoides tuberosa. The observed inertia in the phenological responses of these species to the climatic changes in Central Yakutia underscores a diverse array of adaptations among plants to northern environmental conditions, tenabling them to resist regional climate shifts and sustain phenological stability.

This study presents the initial stock assessment of the green tiger shrimp, Penaeus semisulcatus De Haan, one of the most productive fisheries in Iraqi marine waters. The growth, mortality, recruitment, yield-per-recruit, and virtual population analysis (VPA) of P. semisulcatus in Iraqi marine waters in the northwest Arabian Gulf were studied from November 2022 to October 2023, to manage and conserve the population of this species. Total length-frequency data of 2,394 specimens of P. semisulcatus were analyzed using the FiSAT II software. The length-weight relationship was W= 0.0044TL3.208, indicating an isometric growth pattern. The asymptotic length (L∞) and growth rate (K) were 28.7 cm and 0.50 respectively. Total, natural and fishing mortalities were 2.81, 1.01 and 1.80, respectively. The current exploitation rate (Ecur) was 0.64. Recruitment continued throughout the year with one major peak in May. Length at first capture Lc50 (15.1 cm) was higher than length at first maturity Lm50 (14.5 cm), indicating that they may be vulnerable to capture by the available fishing gear after they mature. VPA results show that most of the catches of the individuals occurred at mid-lengths of 17-23 cm, and the maximum fishing mortality was at a length of 21 cm. The yield per recruit analysis shows that the current exploitation rate (Ecur) was below the biological target reference points (E0.1 and Emax), indicating that the stock of P. semisulcatus is being exploited rationally. To promote sustainable management, shrimp nursery grounds should be identified for protection, and the law regulating the exploitation and protection of aquatic life to regulate fishing in Iraqi marine waters should be updated.

Thirty-two (32) male and female parent stocks (eight males and eight females for Clarias gariepinus; eight males and eight females for Heterobranchus longifilis), were selected for induced breeding and fecundity studies from the Fish Breeding and Culture Program of the National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research, New Bussa. Fish weights ranged from 400 to 1800g. Percentage fertility, reported a higher percentage for Heterobranchus longifilis with 67.75%; and for Clarias gariepinus 66.68%. Percentage hatching values were also higher in Heterobranchus longifilis with 91.40%, than in Clarias gariepinus with reported values of 83.25%. Fecundity values in Clarias gariepinus were, however, higher with 433,720 eggs in this study. Heterobranchus longifilis reported lower fecundity values of 187,166 eggs. The Mean Gonadosomatic Index for Clarias gariepinus and Heterobranchus longifilis brood parent stocks reported the values 13.1±0.21 and 11.2±0.21, respectively. Hepatosomatic Index for Clarias gariepinus and Heterobranchus longifilis, also reported the values 1.69±0.01 and 1.45±0.02, respectively. This study purposed to add to knowledge on hatchability, survival rate and fecundity studies on Clarias gariepinus and Heterobranchus longifilis parent stocks and serve as a baseline for further research.
How Scholar Beginners Reflect Their Professional Activity
Authors: Komalova L. R.
Published: January 2025

The research represented in the paper aims at determining the degree of awareness of scholar beginners about the essence of their professional activity. In particular, we study the verbal conceptualization of the notions «scientific method», «research protocol», and «specific research protocol» by highlighting and analyzing the composition of lexico-semantic fields, constructed on the definitions given by the respondents through sociological survey. The introduction describes the social conditions in which the issue of professional activity reflection by scholar beginners becomes significant and topical. The paper reveals the content of the notions under study, presented in the scientific and methodological literature, and also describes the methodology and results of the ongoing empirical research. Based on the results obtained, the paper reveals similar and differentiating lexico-semantic components within the meanings of the notions under study. Based on the 99 lexico-semantic components and their intersection in the composition of lexico-semantic categories, generalized interpretations of the notions under study were modeled. It was possible to fix that the notions «research protocol » and «specific research protocol» are considered by the respondents as synonyms, but at the same time they differ from the notion «scientific method» mainly in the core of the most presented lexico-semantic category «phenomenon nomination».
Scientific Legacy of Marshal Boris Shaposhnikov and the Problems of Modern Strategy
Authors: Krivopalov A. A.
Published: January 2025

This paper represents an effort to bring new light to the unique scientific legacy of the Soviet Marshal B. Shaposhnikov. By applying his cautionary advice to the present day, we can identify the underlying causes of the decline in strategic thinking among the world’s leading powers. Strategic theory, as a method of scientific analysis, sits at an intersection of disciplines. Born of military thought, it soon caught the attention of historians. Today, the field of strategic theory is being increasingly contested by political scientists and foreign affairs analysts. The disconnect between strategy and policy remains one of the most dangerous pitfalls in state governance. While the problems, achievements and contradictions of strategy usually appear topical and relevant, they are best revealed in a wider historical context.

Authors: Nadia Zekri  , Nesrine Bellahreche
Published: January 2025

Water erosion is responsible for the degradation of more than half of the world's soils. In northern Algeria, it is widespread, particularly in the western region, which requires mechanical and biological developments to control it. The objective of this work is to evaluate the state and effectiveness of some anti-erosion developments, carried out in a coastal region: that of the Daira de Honaine (wilaya of Tlemcen). The methodology adopted was based on direct field observations, photo taking and data collection at the Forest Conservation in the wilaya of Tlemcen and the district of Remchi. The results obtained showed that most of the anti-erosion installations, carried out in 5 stations in the study region, are in very good condition. This demonstrates the perseverance of foresters, particularly in the creation of gabion thresholds and ridges, as well as the will of farmers in the good management and conservation of agricultural lands.

Russia's economic policy is aimed at increasing agricultural productivity, since the
food sector is the main growth factor for any country. The basis for the development
of the country's agriculture is grain production. Grain production is the basis of the
agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation and is the largest sub-sector of
agriculture, the progress of which largely determines the country's food security, the sufficiency of the population in food products and its quality of life, the economic
situation of agricultural producers.

Published: January 2025

In grain farming, as in any other commodity production, its efficiency is
determined by the mass of products sold. Therefore, the criterion for the economic
efficiency of the territorial organization of grain production is an increase in the volume
of production of high-quality products with minimal costs of live and effective labor.
The situation with grain crops in the Republic of Bashkortostan is 90% better than the
average in Russia. Seed collection in the region will be carried out in accordance with
the intensive scenario, due to the improvement of selection work on reproduction.
Grain crops are focused on the introduction of new, rare, common and reliable
varieties, which is associated with the development of commercial ties and market
cooperation in the market.

Ways to increase the economic result include reducing the cost of production,
increasing sales, building production capacity and ensuring stable financial and
economic activity. To do this, it is necessary to analyze financial results, evaluate profit
and profitability indicators, identify reserves for increasing the book value of the
enterprise and analyze the work of competitors. The implementation of these measures
contributes to the development and growth of the enterprise in a market economy.
EQUINE RHINOPNEUMINIA: DISTRIBUTION, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

Published: January 2025

Equine rhinopneumonia virus (EHV-1 and EHV-4) is a ubiquitous pathogen of
horses. Herpes viruses that cause diseases in horses have 9 types, but types 1 and 4
cause the most damage. To date, rhinopneumonia has been detected in 27 countries of
the world, and only in some of them the situation has been stabilized within 8 years. A
distinctive sign of equine rhinopnemonia is late-term abortions, but they do not show
concern before this. Vaccination is carried out for pregnant mares in order to prevent
the disease, since the horse can produce one foal per year, it is important to keep foal
losses to a minimum; vaccines can also be used to prevent an epidemic if one case of
the disease is detected on the farm. The infection may be accompanied by various
clinical manifestations, which resolve on their own over time, but the virus continues
to circulate in the animal’s body.

An innovative method of multiple sclerosis treatment using Biocompatible magnetite nanoparticles (Micromage-b)
Authors: Belousov A. N.
Published: January 2025

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious neurological problem because of its high prevalence, chronic course, frequent disability, and propensity to affect young people. The immunopathogenesis hypothesis underlies the origin of MS. Selective sorption activity of biocompatible magnetite nanoparticles against surface proteins of cell membranes, circulating immune complexes, lymphocytotoxin antibodies, complement system, the effect of increasing phagocytic activity and leukocyte phagocytosis completion index allows the effective use of these nanodevices for immune correction. The main goal of the study is to slow down the progression of MS, improve the neurological status and general condition of the patient, and reduce the dynamics of the spread of demyelinating foci in the brain. Materials and methods: a patient diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, secondary progressive type of course, cerebro-spinal form, clinical aggravation stage; EDSS neurological status and disability assessment scales; contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain. An oral form of the nanodevice Micromage-B was used as an immunosorbent and immunomodulator. The choice of the regimen and dosage of Micromage-B was personalized. Assessment of the general condition and neurological status was performed every 7 days for 6 months. Contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain was performed at the 5th month of the study. As a result of using Micromage-B in MS treatment, objective improvement of neurological status, reduction of stiffness and rapid fatigability of the lower extremities were observed. Gait and coordination improved, hand tremors decreased, depression and signs of concentration disorders disappeared, appetite restored, and speech improved. During the entire period of Micromage-B application, positive dynamics in the normalization of the neurological status was observed. After 6 months of treatment, the total score dropped by 165 to 35. It was found that the maximum positive effect was observed in the evaluation of the pyramidal system and coordination. The EDSS Disability Scale score decreased from 6.0 to 5.0. Contrast-enhanced MRI brain examination for the first time showed a decrease in the number of new foci of demyelination in the brain by the 4th month of Micromage-B administration. The positive dynamics of normalization of the neurological status correlated with the results of brain MRI. The process of recovery of central nervous system activity in MS is not only due to the immunosuppressive properties of magnetite nanoparticles, but is probably caused by the activation of remyelination mechanisms and oligodendrocyte differentiation through enzymatic methylation. Considering the above, the use of biocompatible nanodevices in the complex treatment of MS is a promising direction. The scheme and method of using biocompatible magnetite nanoparticles to improve the effectiveness of MS treatment require further improvement and study.

Primary and secondary Sjogren’s syndrome (SS), is a systemic disorder that can be identified by lymphocyte infiltration, progressive destruction of the exocrine glands, leading to mucosal dryness, especially of the eyes and mouth these effects might increase tooth loss in SS patients which leads them to desire an oral rehabilitation with dental implants. In this case A 40-year-old female patient, was referred to the Department of Periodontics for evaluation due to masticatory dysfunction and aesthetic changes on a fixed partial bridge of four units in the upper anterior area, important personal pathological history of Sjogren´s syndrome was referred. The soft tissues were affected due to the accumulation of bacterial plaque as a result of the poor adaptation of the prosthesis. The occlusion and aesthetics of the patient were observed to be compromised. This case report was made with the objective to report that rehabilitation of maxillary anterior region using implant supported restoration in a patient with Sjogren´s syndrome is qualified as a adequately treatment. Also, to address the challenges the patient, having this particular condition, may have trying to maintain the prosthesis. We utilized technological tools such as, computer assisted implant surgery to plan the dental implants position and place them with much more precision since there were several anatomical factors to consider. Thenceforth an implant supported prosthesis was placed successfully. Implantology should be taken in count when rehabilitating SS patients due to high rate of success shown in several studies and it should not be contraindicated in them.

A Short-Lived Children's Periodical
Authors: Wiele Eva Van de
Published: January 2025

The short-lived magazine Mickey Revista Infantil Ilustrada (Molino, 1935–1936), marked a pivotal moment in Spanish children's press by introducing material of the Walt Disney Studios to its readers. Following the Italian Topolino (1932) and the French Le Journal de Mickey (1934) the magazine Mickey Revista Infantil Ilustrada represents three innovative trends in children's periodicals in Spain in the 1930s: the intersection of local and American comics, genres, and formats; different efforts to connect with the local reader; and gender stereotypes. The new comics formats, the readers’ club, and gender-specific sections impacted the local audience and reveal how magazines ‘script’ the actions of their readers. By examining the three intersections, this article illuminates how the magazine reflects the political, ideological, and cultural transitions in Spanish society of the mid-1930s.
Photography in Non-Fiction Comics
Authors: Vilches Gerardo
Published: January 2025

Photography and comics were both media born with modernity in the nineteenth century, with an important role in the configuration of mass society. Photography has been related to comics in many ways, but it is in non-fiction comics where authors have exploited its potential as an index of reality and as evidence for testimonies. Works such as Art Spiegelman's Maus or Emmanuel Guibert's Le Photographe [The photographer] contributed to open a field of experimentation that some Spanish cartoonists have also explored. A comparative analysis of graphic novels such as Paco Roca's Regreso al Edén [Return to Eden] or Carlos Spottorno and Guillermo Abril's La Grieta [The crack] and La Falla [The fault] enables an assessment of the multiple values of photographs when they are included in a graphic narrative.
Love, Maternity, and Feminism
Authors: Denzel Valentina
Published: January 2025

This article examines three comics strips published by the feminist French underground magazine Ah!Nana (1976–1978) in which the artists Nicole Claveloux, Yves Chaland, and Cecilia Capuana lampoon marriage and child-rearing. I contend that their criticisms are based on the feminist works of Simone de Beauvoir and Luce Irigaray, as well as on the anti-family stance of the May ’68 movement, on American underground feminisms, and on post-war anti-Americanisation movements. Even though Claveloux's, Chaland's, and Capuana's comics were conceived independently of each other, they can be read in a climatic sequence in which the critique of marriage and gender roles metamorphoses into the creation of an independent female protagonist who not only questions the status quo but also embodies a new understanding of gender and kinship.

İnsanlar üzerinde genom düzenleme ile ilgili projeler etik sorunlara ilave olarak deontolojik, sosyolojik, dini ve hukuki alanda da bazı tartışmaları gündeme taşıdığından insanın genetik yapısına müdahale ile ilgili konuya bir bakış açısı kazandırmak maksadıyla bu çalışma yapılmıştır.
Gelişen kişiselleştirilmiş tıp yaklaşımının avantajları bir yana, teknolojik ilerlemelerle beraber genom üzerine müdahalelerin kontrolü, denetlenmesi zorlu bir alan hâlini almıştır. Bu alanda istismar, çıkar sorunları dolayısı ile toplumsal zarar görme riskinin öncelikle ele alınarak değerlendirilmesinde yarar bulunmaktadır. Dünyanın birçok ülkesinde özellikle etik ve hukuki sebeplerden dolayı araştırma amaçlı insan embriyosu oluşturulmasında kısıtlamaya gidilmiş, gen modifikasyonu yasaklanmıştır.
Hekimler, gerçekleştirdikleri tıbbi müdahalelerde son derece özenli davranmalıdır. İnsan genomuna müdahalenin sosyolojik, biyoetik ve hukuki boyutu dikkate alındığında, sonuçları açısından birçok olumsuzluğa sebebiyet verebilecek neticelerinin olması muhtemeldir. Ulusal mevzuatta yer alan bazı boşluklar konuyu suistimale açık hale getirebilir. Bu sebeple konu ile ilgili ulusal ölçekte mevzuat düzenlemesi yapılmasına ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.
Fault diagnosis in optical networks
Authors: Katzela Irene , Ellinas Georgios , Yoon Won Sang , Stern Thomas E.
Published: January 2025

Faults in the optical network environment propagate quickly to different parts of the network raising a large number of alarms. This paper describes two new fault diagnosis techniques for single fault diagnosis in an optical network. Both techniques operate under the same premises: when a fault occurs, a central manager detects the fault and through tests and correlation of information identifies the failure. The performance of the proposed schemes is compared both analytically and by simulation to each other and other proposed schemes for fault diagnosis in the optical network environment.
Molecular plasticity of retinal ganglion cells after partial optic	nerve injury

Published: January 2025

In the past few years we established the partial crush of the optic nerve as an in vivo model system for the study of signaling pathways involved in molecular plasticity after axonal injury. The simplicity of this model at the cellular level allows decisive questions to be anwsered whilst functional aspects of visual information processing can be studied in parallel. A major advantage of a partial optic nerve crush model is the opportunity to directly compare different cell populations: (i) the rapidly degenerating retinal ganglion cells (RGC), (ii) the axotomized RGC population that eventually dies over the period of the next few weeks, (iii) the axotomized RGC population surviving for a long time in the retina without an axon and (iv) the surviving RGC population that maintains axonal connections to their brain targets. Thus, differential aspects of post-lesion plasticity can be analyzed. Using this axonal injury model we investigated the expression of immediate early genes, glutamate receptors, and other differentially expressed genes that we identified with a combined subtractive hybridization and suppression polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screen. Moreover, we characterized time course of cell death, the astroglia response of the retina and optic nerve as well as the topography of anterograde and retrograde axonal transport.
