Enhancing Maritime Security: Challenges and Strategies in Indonesia's Natuna Sea
Authors: Marliani Marliani
Published: October 2024

The Natuna Sea, a strategic region within Indonesia's exclusive economic zone, faces multifaceted maritime security challenges that threaten national sovereignty, economic interests, and regional stability. This abstract explores the key issues and strategic responses to enhance maritime security in this vital area. Indonesia's maritime security challenges in the Natuna Sea are driven by illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, territorial disputes, and transnational crimes such as smuggling and human trafficking. The encroachment of foreign fishing vessels, particularly from neighboring countries, exacerbates the IUU fishing problem, undermining local economies and depleting fish stocks. Additionally, overlapping territorial claims, particularly with China, complicate Indonesia's efforts to assert its sovereignty and maintain peace in the region. To address these challenges, Indonesia has developed a comprehensive maritime security strategy that includes diplomatic, legal, and operational measures. Diplomatic efforts focus on strengthening regional cooperation through ASEAN and other multilateral forums to foster dialogue and build consensus on maritime security issues. Legal measures involve the enforcement of national and international laws, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to uphold Indonesia's territorial rights and combat IUU fishing. Operationally, Indonesia has enhanced its maritime patrols, surveillance capabilities, and naval presence in the Natuna Sea. The establishment of the Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla) and the deployment of advanced technology, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite monitoring, have improved the detection and interdiction of illegal activities. Despite these efforts, challenges persist due to resource constraints, coordination issues among agencies, and the complex geopolitical landscape. This abstract underscores the importance of a holistic and adaptive approach to maritime security, integrating diplomatic, legal, and operational strategies.

Microsurgical anatomy and the inner architecture of the retrocommissural portion of the hippocampal formation demonstrated through fiber microdissection
Authors: Goga Cristina , Serra Carlo , Türe Uğur
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE

An understanding of the complex nomenclature and 3D spatial relations between the cortical and white matter components of the retrocommissural portion of the hippocampal formation is essential for a successful outcome when performing surgery in the mediobasal temporal region. The goal of this study was to clarify the nomenclature related to the retrocommissural portion of the hippocampal formation and to provide a detailed description of its topography and inner structure from a relevant surgical perspective. This description can serve as an anatomical reference for approaching lesions in the mediobasal temporal region.

METHODS

Fiber microdissection was performed from the superolateral and inferior aspects on 20 previously frozen, formalin-fixed human brains. Three formalin-fixed plastinated brain specimens were then sectioned in the coronal, axial, and sagittal planes, and the relevant sections were studied.

RESULTS

Based on its relationship with the corpus callosum, the hippocampal formation is subdivided into precommissural, supracommissural, and retrocommissural sections. The retrocommissural portion of the hippocampal formation, a structure in the mediobasal temporal region, is a component of both the floor of the temporal horn and the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere. It includes the hippocampus (Ammon’s horn and the dentate gyrus), subiculum, and related white matter fibers. Step-by-step microdissection revealed the complex ventricular and cisternal relationships of the retrocommissural portion of the hippocampal formation in the mediobasal temporal region. This further allowed clear distinction of each component of this formation in order to understand their complex reciprocal relationships that comprise a unique internal architecture and external morphology.

CONCLUSIONS

The fiber microdissection technique provides a valuable perspective for understanding the complex structure and relations of the components of the retrocommissural portion of the hippocampal formation. This study clarifies and supplements the information presently available in the literature by offering an anatomical reference essential for differentiating the topographic diagnosis and safer surgical planning for any lesion within this formation or the mediobasal temporal region.
The clinical significance of lack of hindbrain herniation in fetal myelomeningocele/myeloschisis patients

Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE

Hindbrain herniation (HH) is a clinical prerequisite for prenatal repair of myelomeningocele/myeloschisis; however, a subset of patients lack HH on initial fetal imaging and may ultimately progress to exhibit herniation on subsequent prenatal or postnatal imaging. The authors sought to explore the cohort of patients without HH at the time of initial fetal consultation for myelomeningocele/myeloschisis repair to define their clinical characteristics and outcome.

METHODS

From July 2016 to July 2022, patients evaluated at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment for myelomeningocele/myeloschisis were classified into two cohorts: those with and those without HH. The diagnosis of HH was obtained from prenatal and postnatal MRI. The osseous lesion level, prenatal sac volume, and prenatal ventricular size was obtained from fetal ultrasound. The fronto-occipital horn ratio was measured on the first postnatal ultrasound. Ambulation status was obtained from postnatal evaluation in the spina bifida clinic.

RESULTS

A total of 176 patients with prenatal HH had postnatal follow-up, of whom 95 (54%) had HH resolution and 81 (46%) had herniation persistence. Of 73 patients without prenatal HH, 9 (12%) had herniation on subsequent prenatal imaging while 64 (88%) had no herniation on prenatal imaging. Of these 64 patients, 11 (17%) had postnatal HH, 32 (50%) had no postnatal herniation, and 21 (33%) were lost to follow-up or the pregnancy was terminated. For patients without HH throughout, the sac volume was larger (9 cm3) than those who had herniation progression or initial herniation; however, the rate of talipes was not significantly different among the groups. The majority of patients were also ambulators (with assistive devices or independent), and the atrial diameter was also < 10 mm for most patients. Overall, 53% of those with initial HH compared with 35% with progression of herniation required CSF diversion, while only 25% of those without herniation required diversion.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrates the natural history of HH in patients with a prenatal diagnosis of myelomeningocele/myeloschisis. The majority of patients without any herniation had larger sac sizes but not higher rates of talipes and smaller ventricles and were ambulatory. These findings improve the ability to guide families during prenatal consultation.
Unintended readmissions and reoperations within 30 and 90 days following adult spinal deformity surgery
Authors: Seo Seung-Ho , Hyun Seung-Jae , Lee Jae-Koo , Kim Ki-Jeong
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE

This study investigated the rates and etiologies of unintended readmissions and reoperations within 30 and 90 days after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. The authors aimed to identify the risk factors for readmission and reoperation by analyzing patient demographic and surgical characteristics.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study included 307 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for ASD from 2012 to 2022 at a single academic institution. Data were collected on patient demographic characteristics, comorbidities, operative details, and postoperative complications. Chi-square and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify the risk factors associated with 30- and 90-day readmissions and reoperations.

RESULTS

The mean ± SD age at surgery was 66.6 ± 10.5 years, and the majority (80.8%) of patients were female. The 30-day and 90-day readmission rates were 11.7% and 15.3%, respectively. Multivariable regression for 30-day readmissions revealed that length of hospital stay (LOS) after index surgery of > 20 days (OR 2.48) and surgical factors such as vertebral column resection (VCR) (OR 4.26) and pelvic fixation (OR 4.38) were risk factors. Other factors such as the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System (ASA) class, prior spine surgery, and age were not associated with 30-day readmissions. Ninety-day readmission was associated with high ASA class (OR 2.37) and LOS > 20 days (OR 2.82). The 30- and 90-day reoperation rates were 7.8% and 10.1%, respectively. The variables associated with 30-day reoperations were intraoperative VCR (OR 3.34) and LOS > 20 days (OR 9.38). Ninety-day reoperations were associated with dural tears (OR 3.33) and LOS > 20 days (OR 3.68).

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides valuable insights into the incidence of unintended readmission and reoperation within 30 and 90 days after ASD surgery in an Asian population. By identifying the associated risk factors, healthcare providers can customize surgical strategies and optimize perioperative care to effectively mitigate these events.
Rare Earth Elements in Fe oxyhydroxides from biofilms containing iron-oxidizing bacteria
Authors: Felitsyn S. B.
Published: October 2024

Fe oxyhydroxides extracted from modern-day biofilms with iron-oxidizing bacteria Arthrobacter spp., Gallionella spp и Leptothrix ochracea in the north-west of the East European platform display the enhanced content of rare earth elements – up to 1100 ppm. REE concentration in bacterial oxyhydroxides increase by one order in magnitude during 1 year suggesting the high sorption capacity of newly formed Fe mineral phases. La/YbN, Ce and Y anomalies in bacterial oxyhydroxides are consistent with geochemistry of the surface water facies where bacterial communities live. Isotopic composition of Nd in studied bacterial oxyhydroxides is controlled by the lithology of the Q-R underlying sediment and ambient water. 143Nd/144Nd values in Fe minerals of bacterial origin vary from 0.511570 to 0.512220 (eNd(0) from –21.8 to –9.2), the high proportion of radiogenic Nd is typical for the samples located on platform cover with Palaeozoic carbonate sediment.
Analytical solution to the problem of injection or reduction of the formation pressure in the reservoir with a fracture
Authors: Il’yasov A. M. , Kireev V. N.
Published: October 2024

The problem of injection of Newtonian fluid at a constant flow rate through an injection well into an initially undisturbed infinite reservoir with an erosive vertical main fracture of constant width is considered. Using the Laplace transform method, analytical solutions are obtained for the pressure fields in the fracture and reservoir, the flow velocity in the fracture, as well as the equations for fluid trajectories in the reservoir and in the main fracture are derived. The solutions obtained are also applicable to the problem of fluid withdrawal into a production well intersected by a vertical main fracture. Nonstationary two-dimensional pressure fields in the reservoir, as well as the pressure and velocity fields in the fracture, are constructed.
Numerical simulation of the interaction between weak shock waves and supersonic boundary layer on a flat plate with the blunt leading edge
Authors: Egorov I. V. , Nguen N. K. , Chuvakhov P. V.
Published: October 2024

The interaction of weak shock waves in form of an N-wave with the supersonic laminar boundary layer on a flat plate with blunt leading edge at the free-stream Mach number M = 2.5 is numerically studied. The numerical results are compared with known experimental data. The combined influence of the N-wave and the leading edge bluntness on the laminar-turbulent transition process is discussed.
Degrees and Limits of Adverbial Transposition of Nouns in the Russian Language (Based on Formations with the Semantics of the Season and the Day)
Authors: Shigurov Viktor V.
Published: October 2024

The article presents a comprehensive semantic-grammatical analysis of the stages (degrees) and limit of adverbial transposition of nouns such as spring, summer, morning, day in the Russian language. The relevance of the study is due to the increased attention in modern linguistics to the problems of interaction between the grammatical and lexical in the structure of linguistic units that undergo various transposition processes, including adverbialization. The object of the study is the linguistic mechanism of adverbialization of nouns, producing adverbs and transitional, syncretic formations that have moved away to varying degrees from the original class of words and have come closer to adverbs; The subject of consideration is the stages (stages, degrees) of functional adverbialization of substantive word forms, reflected in typical contexts from the National Corpus of the Russian Language. The novelty of the approach is associated with the use of the technique of oppositional analysis (and the adverbial transposition scale), aimed at identifying the degrees of adverbialization of nouns. As a result of the study, semantic and grammatical features of core and peripheral nouns, peripheral adverbs and intermediate, hybrid structures were identified; criteria have been established for the differentiation of functional homonyms – non-prepositional forms of the instrumental case of nouns and adverbs formed on their basis.
The World Outside of Chess in “Scachs dʼAmor” (1475): Phraseological Profiles of the Participants in the Game Poem
Authors: Semenov Vadim B.
Published: October 2024

The article presents a pilot study of the Valencian game poem “Scachs dʼAmor” (1475), the stanzas of which and the patterns of moves of a real chess game are parallel, since three poets composed its text at the same time as two of them (Franci de Castellvi and Narcís Vinyoles) played, and the third (priest Fenollar) judged the indicated game and determined new rules for the game. The main innovation of the game was that the queen, emblematically representing the power of the glorified Isabella of Castile, moved for the first time as it moves now. The subject of the study is the lexical and phraseological structure of the monument, and the main method is the statistical method, which is used to determine the frequency of expression of semantic motives in the speech of each of the three co-authors, their attraction to certain artistic themes. As a result, it becomes possible to describe the life experience and sociocultural interests of poets hidden behind linguistic formulas. The categorical study of speech material is preceded by a description of the activities of the Valencian poetic circle in the last quarter of the 15th century.
Lexical Expression of Presentiment in Mongolic Languages
Authors: Sundueva Ekaterina V.
Published: October 2024

This article considers a number of lexemes used to express premonition in Mongolic languages in order to identify, if possible, the motives of nomination and their connection with the psychophysiological state of a person who has a premonition of something, in most cases bad. The word ǰöng assumes the “voicing” of a feeling of anxiety comparable to an internal buzz. It indicates the syncretism of the semantics of linguistic units, semantic features, which motivate metaphorical and metonymic transfers to intermodal spheres. It demonstrates the phenomenon of synesthesia in the field of designating physical sensations. In the word iru-a, the leading role in the nomination is given to the trembling of the tongue at the moment of articulation of the sonant [r], which conveys disturbing sensations, mainly localized in the thoracic part. In the word belge, there was probably a metonymic transfer from the meaning of ‘sign as a material object’ to ‘sign, omen’. Research in this way allows deeper understanding the importance of the system of interpretation of sensory information transmitted through various sensations in the body.
From the History of Soviet-French Literary Relations in the 1930s: An Unknown Letter from French Writers to A. M. Gorky about V. Serge (Based on Materials from the A. M. Gorky Archive)
Authors: Arias-Vikhil Marina A.
Published: October 2024

The article examines Soviet-French literary contacts in the socio-political aspect on the basis of two unknown and not introduced into scientific circulation letters from the Archive of A.M. Gorky: a letter of five French writers dated June 28, 1932 A.M. Gorky and a letter from V. Serge dated September 28, 1932 to Gorky’s secretary P.P. Kryuchkov. French writers of leftist views (J.-R. Bloch, C. Vildrac, J. Guéhenno, L. Werth, F. Jourdain), who sympathized with the USSR, turned to Gorky with a request to help Serge leave the USSR. A month later, V. Serge himself turned to Kryuchkov with a request to respond to this letter. The son of Narodnaya Volya emigrants, Serge came to Soviet Russia in 1919 to participate in the revolutionary transformations of society and promote the world revolution. Sergeʼs connections with the anti-Stalinist opposition led to persecution by the GPU, two arrests (in 1928 and 1932) and exile to Orenburg for three years (in 1933). Thanks to an international campaign in the French and Belgian press launched by left-wing intellectuals, Serge left the USSR in April 1936. The still unknown first letter in his defense, sent by French writers to Gorky, is the most important evidence of the political strategies of leftist writers of the 1930s, attempts to influence socio-political processes within the leftist movement, as well as attempts to humanize the Stalinist regime.
Collaborative Commentary: A New and Innovative Tool for Language Commentary and Analysis
Authors: Fromm Davida , Kowalski John
Published: October 2024

The goal of this article is to introduce the Collaborative Commentary (CC) tool and explain how it can be used in conjunction with the many TalkBank shared databases to enhance research and teaching in many areas of language study. The CC tool and its features are described in a detailed example of an assignment for an introductory course on language development. Students are able to join a CC group set up by their instructor, open specific transcripts in the CHILDES database, watch an interaction on video, follow the interaction in the transcript, and insert comments or codes directly into the transcript which are only available to members of that CC group. Additional examples of teaching, research, and clinical applications are given for using CC with other TalkBank shared databases such as AphasiaBank, TBIBank, DementiaBank, FluencyBank, and ClassBank. CC is an innovative tool that opens the rich resources of the TalkBank shared databases for a variety of purposes. Instructors can use CC to give students the opportunity to apply what they are learning by identifying behaviors such as those associated with typical dysfluencies versus stuttering or typical language development versus late talking that they are learning about in academic classes. Clinical instructors can have students practice scoring various tests or describe the techniques used in a particular treatment program. Researchers can use CC to debate theories on language, refine definitions of commonly used terms, establish coding reliability, and code behaviors of interests such as gestures, errors, coherence, macrostructure, and pragmatics. The CC tool can open up many exciting new ways to investigate language in many disciplines.
Fisiopatología de la epilepsia del lóbulo temporal: revisión del proceso de muerte neuronal a la neuroplasticidad
Authors: Pereno Germán Leandro
Published: October 2024

This review is focused and tries to introduce the reader in the basic concepts of the epilepsy, specially of the temporal lobe epilepsy. From the knowledge provided by different animal models, it’s introduced to the physiopathology of this type of epilepsy recognizing the participation of two systems of neurotransmition: the gabaergic and glutamatergic. It is known that an excess of glutamate has as a consequence neuronal death, this is the excitotoxicity. It’s enumerated different reports that, although they sometimes proved contradictory results, the majority find neuronal death in areas of the limbic system after a status epilepticus in experimental animals. Finally, since the brain is not immutable to this death, the principal concepts of the neuroplasticidad are review, providing reports that demonstrate that plastic processes happen in epileptic brains, both in the hippocampus and in the amygdala.
Anorexia en la adolescencia - estudio de caso
Authors: Almeida de Paiva Maria Olímpia
Published: October 2024

Eating disorders lead to special biological and psychological states. The result of the total lack of food is treated in a distinct way by anorexia. Nutritionists have thus had difficulty in coming to an agreement on the best therapy to prevent such disorders. First it is essential to understand which treatment aims are and then to attempt to know how the several treatment models used nowadays can reach those aims. Someone who suffers from eating disorders, together with an inner deformation, suffers from too much sensitiveness. In order to solve these problems, one needs a change in the relationship with oneself, with the others and with the world. This study presents a teenager’s case study – Anorexia. Is, in fact, a problem that society faces and can’t ignore. Many youngsters have already died and others are following their steps. But there are also those ones that succeeded in overcoming the problem and now are reporting their stories.
Comportamiento disruptivo y logro académico: la importancia de las variables psicológicas y ambientales
Authors: Almeida de Paiva Maria Olímpia , Lourenço Abilio A.
Published: October 2024

The present investigation aimed to study the impact of self-concept and environment of the classroom in disruptive behaviors, as well as the influence of these behaviors on grades in two state schools in the north of Portugal, through 3 questionnaires (PHCSCS-2, APSA and EDEP) to 425 students of the compulsory Portuguese schooling. It was found that with the increase of self-concept and improve the environment of the classroom are less frequent disruptive behaviors, increasing thus the academic achievement of students (Portuguese language and mathematics), which stresses the importance of these constructs in the success school. Educational implications are discussed at these levels of education.
Razonamiento animal: Negación y representaciones de ausencia
Authors: Morales Ladrón de Guevara Jorge
Published: October 2024

In this paper I reject the possibility that animal reasoning, negation in particular, necessarily involves the representation of Absence, as suggested by José Luis Bermúdez, since this would still work as a logical negation (unavailable for non-linguistic creatures). False belief, pretense, and communication experiments show that non-human animals (at least some primates) have difficulties representing absent entities or properties. I offer an alternative account resorting to the sub-symbolic similarity judgments proposed by Vigo & Allen and I introduce the notion of expectation: animal proto-negation takes place through the incompatibility between an expected and the actual representation. Finally, I propose that the paradigm of expectations can be extrapolated to other experiments in cognitive psychology (both with pre-linguistic children and animals) in order to design ?fair? experiments which test other minds considering their true abilities.
Autoconocimiento y atribución de estados mentales en teoría de la mente
Authors: Skidelsky Liza
Published: October 2024

Many philosophers consider that self-knowledge reflects the particularity that we can know what we think, believe, desire, in a different way in which we know the mental states of other people. This is the claim of an asymmetry between first and third person. Several approaches han been offered in the epistemological literature in order to account for this asymmetry. Nonetheless, unlike the expected compatibility between adjacent fields, the literature related to the attribution and self-attribution of mental states or, in general, what is called Theory of Mind, does not seem either to preserve this asymmetry or the attempt to preserve it undermines the fundamental role of the different Theory of Mind proposals. This paper will show this in two parts. Firstly, it addresses how the asymmetry thesis han been defended in the epistemological literature. The aim of this section is to offer a geography of the different approaches. Secondly, two proposals in Theory of Mind, the theory theory and simulation theory, will be evaluated in order to show why they do not account for the asymmetry thesis, and some of the consequences that would be gather from the attempt to conciliate these Theory of Mind proposals with the epistemological approaches that defend the asymmetry thesis will be analized.
El rol de la empatía en la atribución mental
Authors: Brunsteins Patricia
Published: October 2024

This work examines in what extent a notion of empathy may clarify mindreading’s debate. Taking into account an interdisciplinary and integrative notion of empathy, compatibility with mental attribution strategies both mental simulation and theory-theory, in non pure versions, is evaluated. Firstly, new empirical research is supposed to contribute strengthening an integrative empathy instead of theory-theory or mental simulation `s points of view. Secondly, new empirical research will bring better tools to distinguish between empathy and simulation. Consequently, the relationship between empathy and mental attribution theories may be better delimited and a full mental attribution theory may possibly be proposed.

El aprendizaje espacial y su relevancia en anfibios
Authors: Muzio Rubén N. , Daneri María Florencia
Published: October 2024

This article provides an update on strategies and neural basis of spatial learning, paying special attention to amphibians. Analysis of learning strategies has proved that amphibians, as many other groups, are capable of spatial orientation using either a turn strategy (own body reference) or a guide strategy (use of a visual cue or beacon) and that distance between this visual cue and the reinforcer has an effect on the learning rate. Use of two or more visual cues (landmarks) was also evaluated in relation with what was initially called a “cognitive map”. Concerning neural bases, the role of the amphibian medial pallium (homologue area of mammalian hippocampus) was determined to be crucial for spatial orientation, but their complete functional equivalence is being questioned.
Diferencias en la resolución del conflicto emocional y cognitivo
Authors: Uroz Garelli Damian , Prieto del Val Laura
Published: October 2024

A behavioural approach was used to analyse the relations between cognitive and emotional conflict. A modified (i.e., words instead of letters as stimuli) Eriksen flanker task was used. A higher flanker-induced interference (as reflected by higher reactions times) was expected during the emotional than during the cognitive conflict. This possibility was also analysed by manipulating the instructions and informing a group of subjects on the interfering nature of the flankers. Reaction times were greater during the emotional task and following incongruent stimuli. There was no significant interaction between type of conflict (i.e., emotional or cognitive) and stimuli congruency. These results suggest that, under the present experimental circumstances, there are no differences between the resolution of emotional and cognitive conflict.
Caracterización de silbidos de Tursiops truncatus (Cetacea: Delphinidae) y su asociación con el comportamiento en superficie

Published: October 2024

Acoustic communication is common in dolphins and encompasses a variety of sounds, either vocal or not. Among vocalizations, whistles are continuous narrow-band and frequency-modulated sounds, with a frequency range between 2-24 kHz. The aim of this study was to characterize the whistles of a resident group of bottlenose dolphins in the coast of Aragua state, Venezuela, and to determine their association with surface behavior. On average, whistle frequency ranged from 7 to 16 kHz. Six types of whistles, according to the contour of frequency modulation, were found: constant, ascending, descending, ascending-descending, descending-ascending and multiple. Only two behavioral states were observed: traveling and socialization. There was significant association between the type of whistle and behavior: whistles of medium complexity (ascending-descending) were preferred during traveling and significantly avoided during socialization. Furthermore, whistles emitted during socialization were longer, of broader bandwidth, and spanning over lower frequencies than those emitted during traveling. The variation of whistles according to surface behavior confirms that they have a communicational value. Future research should focus on the causes and consequences of whistle emission to elucidate their referential function.
Identificación de analogías de pertenencia e inclusión en adultos jóvenes
Authors: Parra Cuamba Imelda , Villuendas González Erwin Rogelio
Published: October 2024

Current research data on identifying analogies between word pairs has often overlooked the implications of the type of relations used. However, although the identification of different types of relations clearly involves distinct processes, not enough attention has been given to the identification of these differences. This study aimed to compare two semantic relations (analogies of belonging and inclusion) regarding the accuracy and response time in identification. 79 college students (age 18-26) participated. Data analysis revealed a better performance and reduced response time to detect analogies of the belonging type. The theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
Aportes empíricos a la validación y adaptación al español de las Historias extrañas de Happé
Authors: Aguilar María José , Urquijo Sebastian , Zabala María Lucia , Lopez Marcela Carolina
Published: October 2024

Theory of mind refers to the competence of attributing mind to others, and to predict and understand their behaviour in terms of mental states such as beliefs and desires. One of the main criticisms made ??to instruments measuring TM, is that their results are not reflected in the situations of everyday life. In 1994, Happe created a test trying to overcome the constraints. The aim of this paper was to generate empirical evidence contributing to the validation and Spanish adaptation of the mind theory test named Strange Stories of Happé, used to assess the capability to recognise non literal senses. Results revealed a good internal consistency of the test. The factorial analysis showed five factors that explained the 54% of the variance of data. Significant associations were found between the recognition of non literal senses and social sensibility tests. Research seeking to contribute to the knowledge of the evidence intended to explore advanced aspects of TM.

Published: October 2024

Executive Functions is a psychological construct of multidimensional nature, based on different models that try to account for the basic processes that compose them. A common idea to all the conceptual perspectives that address the study of this construct is the notion that executive functions refer to psychological processes deliberately used to guide behavior to a goal, particularly in novel situations...

Las normas sociales en los experimentos de coima: la necesidad de explicitar el estatus normativo y los deberes de cada rol
Authors: Hasrun Hipólito Manuel , Freidin Esteban , Moro Rodrigo
Published: October 2024

The first goal of this review is to propose a new classification of bribery situations based on two dimensiones: who initiates the corrupt exchange, and the normative status of those involved. The second oal is to provide a critical review and analysis of the literature on bribery experiments, taking into account the categories introduced. We show that social norms are not properly implemented in experimental games, which explains why the bribery categories defined are poorly modeled. We also discuss experimental evidence to show the potential empirical importance of making social norms explicit. We conclude that an adequate representation of social norms in games would allow increasing the ecological and external validity of bribery experiments.

This book is about you, what you are and how you came here" (Suddendorf, 2013, p. 1). With this phrase Thomas Suddendorf begins a journey through the evolution of humans, a species that has managed to separate itself from its close relatives to become the greatest generator of change on the face of the earth. Decorated by the Australian Academy of Social Sciences, the Australian Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association, Suddendorf is also the author of one of the most cited articles in the area of neuroscience and behaviour - Mental Journey through Time and the Evolution of the Human Mind (Suddendorf & Corballis, 1997) - in which he explores mental travel through time, one of the central axes on which he analyses the differences between humans and the other species of the animal kingdom.
Diseño y análisis preliminar de un instrumento para evaluar relaciones taxonómicas en población clínica hispanoparlante

Published: October 2024

This paper presents the design and preliminary psychometric analysis of a scale to assess taxonomic conceptual relations. The instrument consists of a verbal and a pictorial scale and offers four answer choices. We assessed 43 participants with and without neurological disease over 60 years. A discriminant analysis was conducted and it indicated a sensitivity of 90.9 % for the verbal scale and 91 % for the pictorial and a specificity of 100 % for both scales. Reliability analysis yielded ordinal alpha values of .985 for the verbal scale and .983 for the pictorial scale. In turn, evidences of convergent validity were obtained by correlating with WAIS´ Analogies subtest, Picture sorting from the EMSDA and word-picture matching from the BEA.
Una aproximación a la terapia de aceptación y compromiso
Authors: Egúsquiza-Vásquez Kevin
Published: October 2024

Hayes, Strosahl and Wilson bring us a new edition of their original work titled "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: An experiential approach to behavior change (1999)", in which they synthesize the main theoretical and methodological foundations of what is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or, simply, ACT (namely: the acronym is read as a single word "act", which evokes from the English the "implication with life"). The ACT lays its foundations in functional contextualism and in the theory of the relational framework (RFT) to understand and explain the various human problems, in that line, it proposes psychological flexibility as a unified model of human functioning, thus ACT aims to help those who are suffering through the development of a practice of psychology that is more respectful of the challenge that implies humanity.

Type 2 Diabetes affects importantly to Mexican population. Adherence to a healthy diet is the main target of any prevention or intervention plan. It is known that information is a necessary condition to acquire new habits and it is necessary to study educational strategies to reach this goal, so, on this basis, a study to evaluate changes on diabetic patients’ diets and in other variables after an educative psychological program was applied, is presented here. This program was applied within a pre-test post-test design with 120 volunteer diabetic patients. Results showed changes in all measured variables, these changes were in the planned direction, but a hundred percent adherence was not reached. Patients were still eating many fats and their diets did not include enough vegetables. To search for more effective strategies to go through theoretical knowledge to healthy eating behaviors is the suggestion of this work.
Analysis of Post-agonism Reconciliation in a Captive Group of the Wedge-Capped Capuchin Monkey, Cebus olivaceus: a Pilot Study.
Authors: Tárano Zaida , Flores Ruth Marina
Published: October 2024

Agonism was often associated to an increase in inter-individual distances in social individuals; however, many evidences indicate that individuals affiliate after a dispute ( “reconciliate”). The post-agonism behavior of individuals in a captive troop of the wedge-capped capuchin monkey was described and conciliatory tendency (CT) was estimated by using the PC-MC (Post-Conflict – Matched Control) method; here PA-MC (Post-Agonism – Matched-Control). Males initiated more agonistic interactions toward females than to other males while females avoided initiating them toward males. Interestingly, females were more prone to initiate reconciliation than males, both toward males (CT: 0.20-0.42) and toward other females (CT: 0.24-0.25). Overall, the CT in the group ranged from 0.127 to 0.198.  We compared our results with those from other capuchins and propose that reconciliation may not be fundamental in maintaining social cohesion in Cebidae; nonetheless, due to our small sample, this is a preliminary conclusion.

Among others, Faria de Vasconcelos is a portuguese that stands out in Portugal, in the rest of Europe and in Latin America. In line with republican reforms, advocates education for all, and implements numerous projects, of which we report here the twelve lessons of pedagogy and pedology, in the spirit of Escola Nova, that lead to the foundation of the Bierges-les-Wavre school (Belgium) which makes history in psychology. His lessons portray great critical knowledge of psychological’ thesis of the first decades of XXth century, become themselves a testimony of psychology and pedagogy.

Published: October 2024

Behavioural sciences are increasingly present in our contemporary world. Broadly speaking, they can be defined as a transdisciplinary field that studies behaviour, both human and animal, from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. Among the disciplines that make up this transdisciplinary field are psychology, psychobiology, neurosciences, anthropology, sociology and ethology, among others. The Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento has published since its origins a good representation of the studies that are included thematically within the spectrum of behavioral sciences, although of course, it does not cover them completely. (Ed. Note: The first paragraph is included as an abstract).

Nowadays, we assist to the development of the study and implementation of alternative conflict resolution in school context, among which we signal negotiation as a mean of constructive conflict management. The main objective of this research was to analyse the influence of the academic self-concept in the student´s negotiation efficacy when solving conflicts. Sample was composed by 505 individuals of different grades school (7th to 12th year) on north Portugal, who were applied as evaluation instruments the School Conflict Negotiation Efficacy Questionnaire (QENCE), the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale-2, and a brief questionnaire of personal and school data. Results show that self-concept has a positive influence on negotiation efficacy of the students of our sample and also suggest that variables as sex, grades school, time of study and school goals contribute to the student´s self-concept.

Authors: Sánchez Federico José , Menéndez Joaquín , Avellaneda Matías Alejandro , Idesis Sebastián Ariel , Iorio Alberto Andrés
Published: October 2024

Semantic priming studies conducted with stimuli related through equivalence class training with different training structure has not been investigated yet. The aim of this work was to find out whether inter-group differences would be found during a semantic-priming task with stimuli related through equivalence depending on the training structure employed. 42 subjects were divided into three groups. All of them received training in three three-member equivalences classes, each with a different training structure: LS, OTM and MTO. Afterwards, all of them performed a semantic-priming task where trained and derived relations were tested. Inter-group differences were observed in the percentage of correct responses and in reaction times during the priming task, being the former lower and the latter higher for unrelated stimuli in the linear-series structure. Training structure is postulated as a possible factor which modulates the performance of subjects during lexical tasks.
