Investigating an Effort Avoidance Account of Attentional Strategy Choice
Authors: Zhang Tianyu , Leber Andrew B.
Published: July 2023

When individuals have multiple attentional control strategies available while performing a given task, they often choose suboptimal ones. The underlying reason has been at least partially attributed to the avoidance of the cognitive effort associated with the optimal strategy (Irons & Leber, 2018a; 2020). However, the aspects of the task triggering such avoidance remain unclear. In this study, we attempted to measure effort avoidance of an isolated task component to assess whether this component might drive suboptimal behavior. We adopted a modified version of the Adaptive Choice Visual Search (ACVS; Irons & Leber, 2016; 2018a), a task designed to measure people’s visual search strategies. To achieve optimal performance in this task, participants must enumerate two color subsets. If participants choose not to enumerate, they can perform accurately, albeit substantially more slowly. To isolate and study whether enumeration effort could be an obstacle to optimal performance, we created a variant of the Demand Selection Task (DST; Kool et al., 2010) to capture the avoidance of enumeration effort. Results revealed a robust avoidance enumeration, offering a potential explanation for why individuals choose suboptimal strategies in the ACVS task. Altogether, our results showed that the effort avoidance for specific subcomponents of a visual search task can be probed and linked to overall strategy choices.

Wild mushrooms represent a crucial dietary staple for many tribal groups throughout the world since they consist of a significant source of bioactive constituents such as phenolic compounds, tocopherol, and act as anti-cancer, anti-allergic, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory compounds, etc. Wild mushrooms including Scleroderma citrinum, Heterobasidion annosum, Coriolus hirsutus, Cavimalum indicum, Russula sanguinea, and Suillus punctatipes were studied to evaluate their phytochemical constituents, antimicrobial activity, antioxidant activity, toxicity and its importance as a source of food along with safety concerns. Initially, the total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC), and total tannin content (TTC) along with antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity were assessed using ethanolic extracts of fungus. Furthermore, a Brine shrimp bioassay was performed, the correlation of which with antioxidant activity, TPC, TFC, TTC, and lethal concentration (LC50) value was shown by principal component analysis (PCA). Secondary metabolites like glucosides, flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, and quinones were identified using phytochemical investigations. The TPC ranged from 45.98 to 102.3 mg GAE/g for the extracts, TFC from 100 to 225 mg QE/g, and the TTC was found to vary between 80 to 180 mg GAE/g. The findings of the antioxidant studies demonstrated that S. punctatipes exhibited the highest antioxidant activity (IC50 = 16.95 µg/mL), followed by C. indicum (IC50 = 22.5 µg/mL), and C. hirsutus (IC50 = 35.34 µg/mL). Likewise, S. punctatipes exhibited strong antimicrobial activity as compared to other extracts. The larvicidal efficacy against brine shrimp tests revealed that three mushrooms; C. hirsutus, C. indicum, and S. punctatipes—contain highly toxic substances while the other three are non-toxic and when properly examined can be consumed to some extent.

Authors: B.K. Bijaya , Adhikari Achyut , Gyawali Gobinda
Published: July 2023

Background: Gallstone disease poses a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems globally, necessitating safer alternatives to current treatments like dissolution therapy and cholecystectomy. Natural compounds from plants offer a potential solution, but research on their cholelitholytic activity is limited. In vitro dissolution studies are crucial for identifying effective plant-based therapies.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the in vitro cholelitholytic activity of six plants and Ayurvedic medicines, selected based on ethnopharmacological knowledge and folk medicinal practices.
Methods: Gallstone samples were categorized as combined cholesterol gallstones (CCGS) or black pigment gallstones based on external morphology and cross-sectional analysis. In vitro dissolution studies were conducted using extracts from Bergenia ciliata, Berberis asiatica, Cuscuta europaea, Kalanchoe pinnata, Teraxacum officinale, Macrotyloma uniflorum, and Ayurvedic medicines (Cystone®, Gokshuradi, and Calcury). The samples were immersed in the extracts and controls separately and incubated in a shaking water bath. The gallstone dissolution capacity was assessed by recording the dry weight of the samples at multiple time points.
Results: T. officinale was highly effective in dissolving black pigment gallstones, while B. asiatica exhibited superior efficacy for CCGS. M. uniflorum and C. europaea also demonstrated significant dissolution activity against black pigment gallstones. However, K. pinnata was less effective for both gallstone types. B. ciliata and C. europaea exhibited equal effectiveness against both types. Ayurvedic medicine extracts were less effective compared to plant extracts.
Conclusion: This in vitro study showed the plants can dissolve GS effectively. However, the effectiveness of the plant to dissolve GS depends on the type of the stone. The findings from this study serve as a basis for further in vivo research
An Econometric Analysis of the Impact of Real Effective Exchange Rate on Economic Activities in Nepal
Authors: Thapa Nara Bahadur
Published: July 2023

This paper tests the relationship between REER and GDP on the Nepalese economy. In the literature, two channels of transmission exist for the real exchange rate to affect economic activities; these are the aggregate demand channel and the aggregate supply channel. The traditional view has it that the real exchange rate operates through the aggregate demand channel. This means that the depreciation of the real exchange rate enhances the international competitiveness of domestic goods, boosts net exports and eventually enlarges GDP. The aggregate supply channel, on the other hand, purports that the depreciation of the real exchange rate increases the cost of production and helps redistribute income in favour of the rich. These two effects lower aggregate demand causing economic contraction. The empirical study shows that the traditional view holds for Nepal and implies that Nepal should at least keep the real exchange rate constant.
The Fallout of 9/11 on Asian Economies: Policy Options
Authors: Pandey Ravindra Prasad
Published: July 2023

As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, the immediate reaction of various economists around the globe was that the Asian economies, in particular the Southeast Asian economies, would deepen, leaving no room for an early rebound from the 1997 financial crisis. However, as events developed, the global as well as the regional economic developments gave way for greater optimism towards the immediate economic prospects of these countries. The disruption of the economy following the attacks turned out to be less disruptive than originally thought as statistics show distinct signs of improvement in the global economic situation. In the regional front, most regional stock markets rallied and consumer confidence improved, boosting domestic demand. The result of the unprecedented fiscal measures and monetary stimulus such as cuts in interest rates, income tax cuts, and post-attack government spending led to the mild rebound strengthening to more or less a full-blown economic recovery since the later part of 2002.The trend continues even at a faster pace. In nutshell, the completion of completion of initiated reform agenda and maintenance of strong economic fundamentals will provide necessary policy options for the countries in the event of uncertainty in the global recovery.

Published: July 2023

Traumatic knee dislocations are a serious injury that threatens the entire extremity, requiring urgent evaluation and a multidisciplinary approach. The high frequency of limb-threatening vascular injury, misdiagnosis of knee injury, or failure to assess the limb's vascular status will result in a large number of potentially preventable amputations. We tried to demonstrate with case examples that this situation should be investigated carefully and aggressive treatment is mandatory in our study. 8 patients who applied to Pamukkale University Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic and Alaşehir State Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic in the last 3 years due to traumatic knee dislocation were evaluated. It was revealed that the group with multiple ligament injuries and neurovascular injuries, which is in the subgroup according to the Schenck classification, was the worst injury group according to the postoperative evaluation tests. It has been shown that postoperative Lysholm and Cincinnati scores of patients in the KD II group with isolated cruciate ligament injury without collateral ligament injury were better than other injuries.Among the patients in the KD I group, it was shown that the postoperative Lysholm and Cincinnati scores were relatively better in the group with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury compared to the group with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury.Management of these serious injuries, the importance of post-operative rehabilitation comes to the forefront with the early and appropriate intervention of experienced orthopedic surgeons with a multidisciplinary approach, as well as the high awareness in terms of neurovascular injuries.

Authors: Al-Saffar Farah I. , Al-Hamadani Hasan A. , Mohammad Mohammad G.
Published: July 2023

Background: Non-traumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) results from rupture of blood vessels in the brain. ICH categories can also be considered as being either lobar in location or within the deep white matter. Although hypertension is a major risk factor for ICH in general[11], it is commonly considered to be associated more with patients having deep than with those having lobar haemorrhage.Objectives: We investigate the relationship between hypertension and deep versus lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods: a retrospective review of records of 163 patients aged 18-89 years admitted to Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital (January 2008 - October 2010) and diagnosed with ICH.Results: There was no significant relationship between hypertension in deep versus lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (p=0.814)Conclusions: Although the relation between hypertension and ICH was not found to be significant, our study suggests and recommends age-appropriate investigations for patients with ICH, as well as the need to promote patients’ education with regards to this disease and the importance of adherence to treatment of risk factors.

Research Proposal: Perceptual Disturbances in Relation to Perceptual and Electrical Noise
Authors: Titleman Mark
Published: July 2023

This proposal incorporates three experiments concerning perceptual disturbances: one analyzing eye movement and associated electrical activity in hallucinating patients, another assessing dream recall in patients exposed to weak pulsed electromagnetic fields (EMF), and finally the examination of phosphene induction via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and associated electrical activity. The direct link between perceptual noise, noise in the brain’s electrical activity, and perceptual disturbancescan be established via the analysis of eye movement and EEG readings and the examination of their differences between the treatment and control groups. Another direct link can be uncovered between the generation of electrical noise via pulsed EMF and perceptual disturbances in the form of improved dream recall. Finally, the effects of TMS on reducing perceptual disturbancesand inducing phosphenes can be compared within the treatment group and related to the control group.

Despite the increase in women entrepreneurs pursuing careers in the service industry, entrepreneurship is inherently challenging and women still face various difficulties. This article examines the characteristics of women entrepreneurs related to the soft skills, communication skills, and hard skills that influence their pull and push motivators and, ultimately, satisfaction, and sheds light on women entrepreneurship in Croatia. A quantitative study was conducted on a sample of women entrepreneurs. A structured questionnaire collected primary data to obtain the profile of a women entrepreneur in Croatia. The questionnaire was developed from the literature review and adapted for this research, including the six key areas derived from the hypotheses developed in the research model. The research methodology consists of quantitative analysis using PLS-SEM. Findings indicate that soft skills, communication skills, and hard skills affect both push and pull motivators. However, only pull motivators positively influence the satisfaction of women entrepreneurs in the service sector. The paper’s theoretical contribution is the critical synthesis of the relevant academic literature on women entrepreneurs, in particular its examination of key success factors underlined by communication skills, soft skills and hard skills. The empirical contribution of the paper is based on its examination of the relationships between the skills of women entrepreneurs such as soft skills, communication skills and hard skills, which are statistically significant for pull and push motivators and hence satisfaction. It also provides a research basis for future business development support and for harnessing the potential of women entrepreneurial skills based on soft, communication and hard skills development.

In an attempt to combat the possibility of bacterial infection and insufficient bone growth around metallic, surgical implants, bioactive glasses may be employed as coatings. In this work, silica-based and borate-based glass series were synthesized for this purpose and subsequently characterized in terms of antibacterial behavior, solubility and cytotoxicity. Borate-based glasses were found to exhibit significantly superior antibacterial properties and increased solubility compared to their silica-based counterparts, with BRT0 and BRT3 (borate-based glasses with 0 and 15 mol% of titanium dioxide incorporated, respectively) outperforming the remainder of the glasses, both borate and silicate based, in these respects. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy confirmed the release of zinc ions (Zn2+), which has been linked to the antibacterial abilities of glasses SRT0, BRT0 and BRT3, with inhibition effectively achieved at concentrations lower than 0.7 ppm. In vitro cytotoxicity studies using MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts confirmed that cell proliferation was affected by all glasses in this study, with decreased proliferation attributed to a faster release of sodium ions over calcium ions in both glass series, factor known to slow cell proliferation in vitro.

 
Modeling of ethylene copolymerization in nonisothermal high-pressure reactors using bifunctional initiators
Authors: Khazraei P. K. F. , Dhib Ramdhane
Published: July 2023

Enhancing the performance of high-pressure LDPE process is valuable for polymer industry. However, the severe thermodynamics requirement of high pressure and temperature hinders the reaction process from getting simultaneously high monomer conversion and polymer molecular weights. Bifunctional peroxides used as initiators can boost the polymerization rate and alter rheological polymer properties. This article proposes a new kinetics model of ethylene/butyl acrylate copolymerization with bifunctional initiators in a high-pressure nonisothermal tubular reactor. Model predictions are compared with available data. A SQP optimization scheme is employed to determine a suitable wall temperature for each zone along the nonisothermal tubular reactor. In comparison with the monofunctional TBPPI peroxide, a lower amount of the bifunctional DHBPPI peroxide is needed to get a higher conversion in shorter residence time, but at the expense of higher thermal energy. The results also showed that polymers produced with bifunctional peroxides are significantly more branched.  
Convective heat transfer in domed skylight cavities

Published: July 2023

Domed skylights are important architectural design elements that deliver daylight and solar heat into buildings, and connect the building's occupants to the outdoor environment. Despite the widespread use of domed skylights, there is limited information on the convective heat transfer within cavities of multi-glazed domes. This information is required to evaluate the thermal performance of domed skylights for product rating purposes, or to evaluate the heat loss or gain of installed skylights in buildings. This article presents a numerical study on the laminar natural convection in horizontal concentric domed cavities heated from the inside surface. A commercial CFD package is used to solve for the flow and temperature fields. The results show that for large cavity gap spacing-to-radius ratios, the cavity flow is mono-cellular and steady state. For small gap spacing ratios, however, the cavity flow may be multi-cellular and transient periodic. Practical correlations for the heat transfer coefficient as a function of the cavity shape and gap spacing ratio are developed for both flow regimes. The critical gap spacing ratio that yields the maximum Nusselt number is quantified for each cavity shape.

 What explains China’s decision to send navy warships to the coast of Somalia to participate in a multi-country military effort to minimize piracy? To date, China’s formal, multilateral peacekeeping operations in sub-Saharan Africa have been in noncombat-related support positions and have been hugely disproportionate to the size of its military and to the contributions that countries like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh have made. At a time when China’s international cooperation with Western countries on security and environmental issues is unusual or fraught, its participation in a multi-country military patrol of the Gulf of Aden seems anomalous
