Published: August 2023

Generally, when motivation is high, the anxiety of a person is reduced and success is increasing. One of the subjects related to learning in general, and language learning in particular, is related to "anxiety". The study is aimed at determining relations between foreign language learning motivation and anxiety of students. 305 students were involved in the relational survey model of the research. The participants of the research are students of B1 level who study in language preparation of Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University. Data of the study were collected with the Motivation in Learning Turkish as a Foreign Language Scale and, Anxiety in Learning Turkish as a Foreign Language Scale. We used the descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient for data analysis. The participants have the highest degree of motivation in the dimension of instrumental motivation and the lowest degree of motivation in the dimension of cultural motivation. Views of the participants on the internal motivation, instrumental motivation, and motivation to learn Turkish as a foreign language differ from each other according to their gender and views on instrumental motivation and their mother tongue as well. The participants feel the highest degree of anxiety in listening and having the lowest degree of motivation in writing. There are negative and significant relationships between the participants' internal motivation and their motivation to learn Turkish as a foreign language along with their anxiety about speaking, writing, and learning Turkish as a foreign language.
Syntactic structures of Turkish research article titles in medicine and engineering
Authors:   Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi, Eğitim Fakültesi, Türkçe Eğitimi Bölümü, Samsun, Turkey, Demir Dursun
Published: August 2023

The title is of vital importance to research articles as it summarizes the content in several words and grabs the attention of readers. When selecting articles pertinent to their research, the prevalence of online publication leads readers to use online search engines like Google Scholar, which generally displays the first few words of a title, making the title highly important. This study aimed to investigate some key features, such as length, style, syntactic structure and punctuation marks of titles in Turkish research articles in medicine and engineering. To this end, we selected 1,200 titles in four leading journals publishing research articles in these disciplines. As a tool to collect data, document analysis was used in the study to analyze such features of titles and in analyzing the data, descriptive analysis technique was used. The study revealed that both medicine and engineering have almost the equivalent title length. Titles in both disciplines are dominated by single-unit ones and both single-unit and compound titles are predominated by nominal group construction. The results also suggested some disciplinary differences: Compound titles were more common in medicine than in engineering. Medical titles appear to have used more varied syntactic structures in forming titles. Moreover, medical titles have shown a high degree of complexity in terms of punctuation usage. The differences might be attributed to disciplinary practices set out in these two fields. The results of the present study will provide novice writers with ample opportunity to construct their titles as best they can while maintaining their effort to build and enhance their academic writing skills.
The Winds of Changes: How Research Alliances Respond to and Manage Shifting Field-Level Logics
Authors: Shirrell Matthew , Glazer Joshua L. , Duff Megan , Freed Dryw
Published: August 2023

Research alliances, like other research-practice partnerships (RPPs), aim to bridge the historic divide between educational research and practice and improve education in particular local contexts. Yet, although these demands reflect multiple and contested field-level logics, little prior research has examined the ways these logics impact the work of RPPs. This longitudinal, qualitative study explores the field-level logics that dominated the local contexts of two research alliances; how these logics shifted over time; and how research alliances responded to these shifts. Results show that field-level logics of research, practice, and community contended in both local contexts, and that alliance design, resources, and local contexts shaped research alliances’ efforts to respond to and manage shifting demands.

Published: August 2023

The article presents a review of publications on the actual problem of restoring the functional capacity of drainage systems, which in modern conditions of climate change and military aggression acquires special significance not only from the standpoint of the need to increase the productivity of drained lands, but also to ensure the water security of our country. The study of problems and setting of directions for restoration (reconstruction) of drainage systems in Ukraine and regions of the world was performed using bibliometric analysis. For analytical research, domestic and foreign literary sources of a 55-year period were studied, the main number of which falls on the period 2002-2022. The conducted analysis made it possible to determine the main directions that are considered when solving the problems of restoration (reconstruction) of drainage systems on agricultural lands worldwide and in Ukraine. Approaches to the operation, maintenance, and controlled decommissioning of drainage systems are based on the development of scenarios for the adaptation to climate change, therefore, the priority of the state policy in a number of countries is, first of all, the restoration of systems, which allows to ensure the adaptation of agricultural production to modern climate changes. Worldwide, the assessment of the reclamation fund is carried out constantly and the need for reconstruction and modernization of drainage systems is determined according to the design characteristics and technical condition also providing for the restoration of their water-regulating function. The basis for the reconstruction of drainage systems is the economic and technical justification of feasibility, the application of the progressive methods of drainage, the priority implementation of restoration measures in the areas of drainage systems, which are in working condition, and on the drained territories, where intensive and medium-intensity agricultural use of the drained lands is planned. The scientists' developments are aimed at creating economically viable technical options for the restoration (reconstruction) of drainage systems, which take into account the directions of their use and investment options for reconstruction. Studying the global experience of restoration (reconstruction) of drainage systems on agricultural lands and its use is important for the implementation of the provisions of the "Strategy of Irrigation and Drainage in Ukraine for the period until 2030".

Who does big team science?
Authors: Buchanan Erin Michelle , Lewis Savannah C
Published: August 2023

This paper examined the nature of publications in Big Team Science (BTS): large-scale collaborations between multiple researchers at multiple institutions. These projects can improve research by initiating collaborations that span across the globe, age groups, education levels, and subfields of research. As the number of BTS publications increase, it is useful to explore who is currently involved in BTS projects to determine diversity in both research subject and researcher representation. We examined the diversity of BTS publications and authors across more than half a million articles to investigate where and what is currently published, and author characteristics including differences in career length, publication metrics, affiliation, and affiliation geopolitical regions. Interestingly, BTS publications are increasingly dominated by early career researchers from WEIRD geopolitical regions with Health and Physical Science accounting for the majority of BTS articles. However, the increase in preprints, BTS articles, and non-WEIRD authors across time demonstrate the efforts of the science community to diversify its researchers.

Energy conservation law for the gravitational field in a 3D-brane universe without equidistance postulate
Authors: Sharipov Ruslan Abdulovich
Published: August 2023

The 3D-brane universe model is an alternative non-Einsteinian theory of gravity. The initial version of this theory was built using the so-called equidistance postulate. Its second version is free of the equidistance postulate. In the present paper we rederive the energy conservation law for the gravitational field within the framework of the second extended version of the theory.
Choosing the right frame: How context preferences facilitate subsequent decisions
Authors: Treiman Lauren , Kool Wouter
Published: August 2023

Context shapes how we perceive choices and, therefore, how we decide between them. For instance, a large body of literature on the “framing effect” demonstrates that people become more risk-seeking when choices are framed in terms of losses. Despite this research, it remains unknown how people make choices between contexts and how these choices affect subsequent decision making. To address these questions, we designed the Frame Selection Task (FST). On each trial in the FST, participants first choose how risky and safe options are framed, either in terms of gains or losses, and then select between them. We found that participants exhibited frame preferences, with a predominant preference for the gain frame, and that they were willing to incur costs to select options within their preferred frame. Moreover, participants selected frames that aligned with their risk preferences: people with stronger risk aversion displayed a stronger gain frame preference. These results demonstrate how people choose between contexts and that they can combine these preferences with cognitive biases to facilitate decision making.
Shifting evaluative construal: Common and distinct neural components of moral, pragmatic, and hedonic evaluations

Published: August 2023

People generate evaluations of different attitude objects based on their goals and aspects of the social context. Prior research suggests that people can shift between at least three types of evaluations to judge whether something is good or bad: pragmatic (how costly or beneficial it is), moral (whether it’s aligned with moral norms), and hedonic (whether it feels good; Van Bavel et al., 2012). The current research examined the neurocognitive computations underlying these types of evaluations to understand how people construct affective judgments. Specifically, we examined whether different types of evaluations stem from a common neural evaluation system that incorporates different information in response to changing evaluation goals (moral, pragmatic, or hedonic), or distinct evaluation systems with different neurofunctional architectures. We found support for a hybrid evaluation system in which people rely on a set of brain regions to construct all three forms of evaluation, but recruit additional distinct regions for each type of evaluation. The three types of evaluations all relied on common neural activity in affective structures such as the amygdala, the insula, and the hippocampus. However, moral evaluations involved greater neural activation in the orbitofrontal and cingulate cortex compared to pragmatic evaluations, and temporoparietal regions compared to hedonic evaluations. These results suggest that people use a hybrid system that includes common evaluation components as well as distinct ones to generate moral judgments.
Open dataset of theory of mind reasoning in early to middle childhood
Authors: Sotomayor-Enriquez Koraima , Gweon Hyowon , Saxe Rebecca , Richardson Hilary
Published: August 2023

Theory of mind (ToM) reasoning refers to the process by which we reason about the mental states (beliefs, desires, emotions) of others. Here, we describe an open dataset of responses from children who completed a story booklet task for assessing ToM reasoning (n=321 3–12-year-old children, including 64 (neurotypical) children assessed longitudinally and 68 autistic children). Children completed one of two versions of the story booklet task (Booklet 1 or 2). Both versions include two-alternative forced choice and free response questions that tap ToM concepts ranging in difficulty from reasoning about desires and beliefs to reasoning about moral blameworthiness and mistaken referents. Booklet 2 additionally includes items that assess understanding of sarcasm, lies, and second-order belief-desire reasoning. Compared to other ToM tasks, the booklet task provides relatively dense sampling of ToM reasoning within each child (Booklet 1: 41 items; Booklet 2: 65 items). Experimental sessions were video recorded and data were coded offline; the open dataset consists of children’s accuracy (binary) on each item and, for many children (n=171), transcriptions of free responses. The dataset also includes children’s scores on standardized tests of receptive language and non-verbal IQ, as well as other demographic information. As such, this dataset is a valuable resource for investigating the development of ToM reasoning in early and middle childhood.

Introduction: Healthy meals play an essential role in the healthy physical and mental development of adolescents. Breakfast at home is associated with improved nutritional choices, and skipping breakfast is detrimental. This study assessed prevalence of skipping breakfast at home among adolescent students in the Badia Region of Jordan, identifying the reasons and characteristics associated with such behavioural choice. Methods: A cross-sectional survey among adolescent students (aged 13-16 years, in 8th-9th grades) from six public schools in Badia Region, Mafraq Governorate, Jordan, was conducted through self-administered questionnaire from February to March 2022. Results: Results showed that 68.1% of 552 student participants regularly skipped breakfast at home (72.4% boys vs. 61.3% girls; p=0.007). Among those who regularly skipped breakfast, three main rationales for this choice were not feeling hungry (5.3%), lack of time (2.7%), and lack of appetite (3.5%). Conclusion: The prevalence of skipping breakfast at home among adolescents in Badia Region was high for various reasons, including lack of time, not feeling hungry, seeking to manage weight, and insufficient knowledge on the importance of healthy breakfast. Therefore, understanding the reasons and factors that contribute towards breakfast skipping may help in solving the problem, underscoring that positive beliefs should be reinforced in schools, with parents encouraging adolescents to eat healthy breakfast.

Authors: Nielsen Hayley N. , Buxner Sanlyn R. , Bender Holly S. , Cox Jonathan T.
Published: August 2023

The use of small-group collaborative case-based learning methodologies has been growing both in interest and implementation across veterinary college curriculums in recent years. The ability of this pedagogical approach to solidify and deepen learning outcomes is well-established in the broader education literature. However, to achieve this positive impact, students must interact in productive discussions that expand the scope of their understanding. The present study focused on analyzing the ways in which professional veterinary students interact as they work collaboratively through clinical cases, in the context of a Team-Based Learning–intensive curriculum. This data was used to draw connections between the questions posed in the clinical case activities and the resulting intragroup collaborative outcomes, which can assist veterinary educators in sparking more robust student discussions through facilitation and instructional design. Fourteen participants formed two student groups that worked on 49 case questions across five sessions, providing 98 episodes of collaboration for analysis. The findings of this study revealed how professional veterinary students negotiated perspectives to come to consensus on in-class case-based learning tasks, including eight primary types of statements they made and seven overall patterns of group collaboration. This study highlighted specific elements of instructional design that influenced student collaboration including: allowing for multiple perspectives, sparking disagreement, perceived difficulty, learning outcome level, and the level of consensus required by the question structure. We present specific recommendations for veterinary educators to consider while designing questions for veterinary student groups.

Philosophical community and emancipation of thinking: experience of Alushta schools
Authors: Proleiev Sergii
Published: August 2023

The article examines the methodological problems of the historical-philosophical research of the “Soviet philosophy.” The process of the emancipation of thinking is examined through the analysis of the tradition of the Alushta Schools of Young Philosophers in 1987–1993. These schools played a historically significant role in overcoming the prejudices and stereotypes of the Soviet consciousness by the Ukrainian philosophical community. The mentioned analysis led to a few conclusions regarding the methodology of historical-philosophical research of the intellectual legacy – primarily texts – of the Soviet era. (1) Soviet philosophy was certainly an anti-philosophy, a social machine of anti-thinking. (2) The basis of analyzing both texts and events of this philosophy should consider the phenomenon of doublethink – two simultaneous and parallel spaces of discourses’ (meanings’) existence. Doublethink reflects the situation when ideological officialdom, loyalty to which was necessary, and the opposing desire for true thinking coexisted. (3) This collision led to the development of and was characterized by a number of features: the “Aesopian language,” peculiar regimes of private trust, intellectual reservations, etc. The article corroborates that the change in the dynamics of the intellectual situation (language of philosophy, mode of communication, communities of intellectuals, ethos and ideals of scientific research, etc.) is the main subject of historical-philosophical research.

Thoracic pediculectomy for acute spinal cord decompression in high-risk spinal deformity correction: illustrative case
Authors: Sarmiento J. Manuel , Rymond Christina , Concepcion-Gonzalez Alondra , Mikhail Chris , Hassan Fthimnir M , Lenke Lawrence G
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Neurological complications are higher in patients with severe spinal deformities (Cobb angle >100°). The authors highlight a known technique for thoracic concave apical pedicle resection that is useful for spinal cord decompression in patients with high-risk spinal deformities in the setting of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) changes.

OBSERVATIONS

A 14-year-old female with progressive idiopathic scoliosis presented for evaluation of her clinical deformity. Scoliosis radiographs showed a double major curve pattern comprising a 107° right main thoracic curve and a compensatory 88° left thoracolumbar curve. She underwent 2 weeks of halo-gravity traction that reduced her major thoracic curve to 72°. During thoracic posterior column osteotomies, the authors were alerted to decreases in IONM signals that were not responsive to increases in mean arterial pressure, traction weight reduction, and convex compression maneuvers. The dural surface was tightly draped over the two thoracic apical pedicles of T7 and T8, so emergent pediculectomies were performed at both levels for spinal cord decompression. IONM signals gradually improved and eventually became even better than baseline. The patient woke up without any neurological deficits.

LESSONS

Pediculectomy of the concave apical pedicle(s) should be considered for spinal cord decompression if there are IONM changes during high-risk spinal deformity surgery.
Classifying falls using out-of-distribution detection in human activity recognition

Published: August 2023

As the research community focuses on improving the reliability of deep learning, identifying out-of-distribution (OOD) data has become crucial. Detecting OOD inputs during test/prediction allows the model to account for discriminative features unknown to the model. This capability increases the model’s reliability since this model provides a class prediction solely at incoming data similar to the training one. Although OOD detection is well-established in computer vision, it is relatively unexplored in other areas, like time series-based human activity recognition (HAR). Since uncertainty has been a critical driver for OOD in vision-based models, the same component has proven effective in time-series applications. In this work, we propose an ensemble-based temporal learning framework to address the OOD detection problem in HAR with time-series data. First, we define different types of OOD for HAR that arise from realistic scenarios. Then we apply our ensemble-based temporal learning framework incorporating uncertainty to detect OODs for the defined HAR workloads. This particular formulation also allows a novel approach to fall detection. We train our model on non-fall activities and detect falls as OOD. Our method shows state-of-the-art performance in a fall detection task using much lesser data. Furthermore, the ensemble framework outperformed the traditional deep-learning method (our baseline) on the OOD detection task across all the other chosen datasets.
Huoxue Tongluo decoction combined with acupuncture in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and its effect on JOA and VAS scores

BACKGROUND: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common clinical disease of the skeletal system, and its prevalence has been on a rise. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of Huoxue Tongluo decoction plus acupuncture in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and its effectiveness in improving the functional recovery of the patients’ affected joints and mitigating their pain. METHODS: In this prospective study, 110 patients with lumbar disc herniation enrolled in our Hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 were collected and randomized to receive either conventional treatment (control group) or Huoxue Tongluo Decoction plus acupuncture (study group). RESULTS: Huoxue Tongluo Decoction plus acupuncture resulted in more rapid mitigation of lower extremity symptoms and lumbar symptoms versus conventional treatment (P< 0.05). Patients receiving traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) showed milder inflammatory responses than those with conventional medication, as evidenced by the lower serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (P< 0.05). After treatment, the study group had higher Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores and lower visual analogue scale (VAS) scores than the control group (P< 0.05), suggesting that the combination of the herbal decoction and acupuncture provided better functional recovery of the affected joints and pain mitigation for the patients. Furthermore, the lower Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scores in patients in the study group indicated better sleep quality of patients after TCM intervention than after conventional treatment (P< 0.05). Huoxue Tongluo Decoction plus acupuncture was associated with a significantly higher efficacy (94.55%) versus conventional treatment (80%) (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Huoxue Tongluo Decoction combined with acupuncture significantly offers a viable treatment alternative for lumbar disc herniation with promising treatment outcomes, mitigates patients’ limb pain, and improves their lumbar function and sleep quality. Further trials are, however, required prior to general application in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Sedentary behavior is widespread among older adults and accelerates the decline of motor function. Nevertheless, there is insufficient evidence concerning the effectiveness of regular exercise in enhancing the same in sedentary older adults. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of 24 weeks of aerobic and combined aerobic-resistance exercise on the motor function of sedentary older adults. METHODS: Sixty healthy sedentary older (65–80 years) were randomly enrolled. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups (1:1:1): aerobic exercise group (AEG), combined aerobic-resistance exercise group (CEG), and health education group (HEG). The training group underwent a five-day-a-week regimen, with each session lasting for 40 minutes (including 10 min warm-up and cool-down). HEG received only monthly health lectures. We assessed lower limb muscle strength (30-second sit-to-stand ability), single-dual task gait, static and dynamic balance functions at baseline and after 24 weeks of intervention using per-protocol analysis. RESULTS: Among 60 elderly healthy who were randomized (mean age 70.59 ± 3.31 years; 28 women (46%)), 42 (70%) completed the evaluation after 24 weeks. Both the aerobic exercise and combined aerobic-resistance exercise groups exhibited improved 30-second sit-to-stand ability, static balance in closed-eye standing mode, and dynamic balance (P< 0.05). However, there were no statistically significant changes in the single-task gait parameters of stride length, stride width, and stride speed (P> 0.05). Additionally, compared to the aerobic exercise group, the combined exercise group showed an increase in dual-task gait speed and medial and lateral dynamic stability indices (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: Both the aerobic exercise and combined aerobic-resistance exercise programs are effective in enhancing lower limb muscle strength, dynamic balance, and static balance while standing with eyes closed in sedentary older adults. Furthermore, the combined aerobic-resistance exercise program is more effective in improving dual-task gait speed as well as medial and lateral dynamic balance.
