A Flexible Threshold Theory of Change Perception in Self, Others, and The World
Authors: O'Brien Ed
Published: January 2023

This article proposes a flexible threshold theory of change perception in self and social judgment. People’s thresholds for judging change depend not only on the salience and quality of the evidence for change but also on people’s beliefs about the extent to which acknowledging change would disrupt their immediate situation, and people typically prefer to avoid disruption. Accordingly, variables that exacerbate perceived disruption costs should lead people to contract their change thresholds (i.e., people should be slower and less open to concluding things have changed—and hence be less likely to take action) whereas variables that alleviate perceived disruption costs should lead people to expand their change thresholds (i.e., people should be quicker and more open to concluding things have changed—and hence be more likely to take action), even going beyond the salience and quality of the evidence. Moreover, these effects should emerge independently from change direction (i.e., for both declines and improvements alike) so long as signs of change bear on perceived disruption costs. I review empirical support for these propositions and use the theory to generate novel predictions, contributions, and applications. The theory offers novel explanations for diverse self and social phenomena, from how people respond (or fail to respond) to fluctuating climates and economies to how people respond (or fail to respond) to worsening personal conditions and burgeoning social progress. People flexibly adjust their thresholds for judging change from the past based on how they think it will affect their presents. This flexibility is adaptive at short time horizons but maladaptive at long time horizons.

Anti-bias interventions do not always have the intended results and can even backfire. In light of research on the psychology of morality, we examined whether confronting people with evidence of their own (group’s) bias causes a (psychophysiological) threat response, and how to overcome this. We focused on an intervention addressing gender bias in teacher evaluations. After assessing their own teaching evaluations, we presented student research participants (N = 101; 71.3% female), in Part 1 of the intervention, with evidence of bias displayed in such teaching evaluations. This evidence either did (self-implied condition) or did not (self not-implied condition) include participants’ own ostensibly biased evaluations. In Part 2 of the intervention, we asked participants to reflect on the issue of gender bias, and compared the impact of two experimental instructions. In the promotion condition, instructions referred to emphasizing how the university could try to achieve the ideal of promoting fair and just evaluations of teachers. In the prevention condition, instructions referred to highlighting the university’s obligation to prevent unfair and unjust teacher evaluations. While participants verbally reflected on the intervention, during both phases (in Part 1 and Part 2) we measured their psychophysiological responses using indices of cardiovascular ‘threat vs. challenge’. Then, we used self-report measures to examine participants’ explicit responses to the different parts of the intervention. Results revealed that implicating the self in the occurrence of bias (Part 1) raises a psychophysiological threat response. However, emphasizing the future ideal of promoting fair evaluations of teachers (rather than the obligation of preventing biased evaluations; Part 2) resulted in a psychophysiological challenge response and increased perceived coping abilities to combat such bias. The implications of these findings are discussed.
Safe Working with Forklifts: Investigating the effect of forklift operators’ behaviors, skills and effort-reward imbalance on forklift accidents

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Emerging needs for logistics increased the use of forklifts last century. The extensive range in capacity and function for forklifts has eased transportation substantially. Literature supported the relationship between self-reported behaviors and skills and the accident involvement of drivers. Although driver operators’ behaviors and skills have been thoroughly researched last three decades, forklift operators’ behaviors and skills have not been researched yet to the best of our knowledge. Additionally, effort-reward imbalance and overcommitment were related to employees’ behaviors and other outcomes in the workplace. In light of this, the present study aimed to develop measurements for the behaviors and skills of forklift operators and to investigate the roles of effort-reward imbalance in accidents through behaviors and skills by overcommitment. Methods: First, the Forklift Operator Behavior Questionnaire (FOBQ) and the Forklift Operator Skill Inventory (FOSI) were derived from the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ), the Driver Skill Inventory (DSI), accident reports, and information taken from forklift operators. The empirical data were gathered with three questionnaires filled in by 227 counterbalance forklift operators with the FOBQ, FOSI, and the Effort-Reward Imbalance model. Results: The FOBQ has shown a four-factor structure; transgression, rule-based violations, contextual violations, and end-result violations, and the FOSI has provided a two-factor structure made up of safety skills and perceptual motor skills. Transgression and end-result violations were positively related to forklift accidents; effort-reward imbalance was indirectly associated with accidents through transgression. Implications: With the current study, two measurements for behaviors and skills of forklift operators were introduced to the literature, along with the relations of effort and reward on accident involvement and buffering role of overcommitment on skills and behaviors. Occupational safety and health professionals could seek ways to eliminate sources of errors and violations.
When is a hand-axe a planned-axe? Exploring morphological variability in the Acheulean
Authors: Clark James , Shipton Ceri , Moncel Marie-Hélène , Nigst Philip R , Foley Robert Andrew
Published: January 2023

The handaxe is an iconic stone tool form used to define and symbolise both the Acheulean and the wider Palaeolithic. There has long been debate around the extent of its morphological variability between sites, and the role that extrinsic factors (especially raw material, blank type, and the extent of resharpening) have played in driving this variability, but there has been a lack of high-resolution examinations of these factors in the same study. In this paper, we present a 2D geometric morphometric analysis of 1097 handaxes from across Africa, the Levant, and western Europe to examine the patterning of this variability and what it can tell us about hominin behaviour. We replicate the findings of previous studies, that handaxe shape varies significantly between sites and entire continental regions, but we find no evidence for raw material, blank type, or resharpening in determining this pattern. What we do find, however, is that markers of reduction trajectory vary substantially between sites, suggesting that handaxes were deployed differently according to hominin need at a given site. We argue this is reflective of a continuum of reduction strategies, from those focused on the maintenance of a sharp cutting edge (i.e. direct use in cutting activities), to those focused on maintaining tip shapes, and perhaps a corresponding production of flakes. Implications for hominin behavioural flexibility are discussed.
A Cross-Country Comparison of Operational Efficiency between Chinese and Pakistani Commercial Banking Industries
Authors: Zhu Nan , Shah Wasi Ul Hassan
Published: January 2023

The objective of this paper is to make a cross-country comparative analysis on operational efficiency (OE), that is consisted of technical efficiency (TE), pure technical efficiency (PTE), and scale efficiency (SE), between the industries of Chinese and Pakistani commercial banks (CBs) for the year 2012 to 2016. To measure the OE score of a CB, we apply a non-parametric approach known as data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. From the previous studies on CBs, we adopt two models, i.e. Model A and Model B, with a different set of inputs and outputs variables to assess that does efficiency scores vary with change in a number of inputs and outputs. The empirical analysis finds that both Mean TE and PTE scores of Chinese CBs are always relatively higher than the corresponding scores of Pakistani CBs in the time period 2012-2016. However, Mean SE score of Chinese CBs obtained by using Model A is relatively lower than of Pakistani counterparts. It also finds that the Mann-Whitney U test shows that there is a significant difference between Mean TE scores of CBs in the commercial banking industries of both countries for the years 2012-2016.

Published: January 2023

Bu çalışmada çocukluk çağı ruhsal travmaları ile savunma mekanizmaları arasındaki ilişkide bağlanma biçimlerinin düzenleyici rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcıları kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile ulaşılan, yaşları 18-65 arasında değişen 338 kadın ve 245 erkek olmak üzere toplam 583 kişi oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Çocukluk Çağı Ruhsal Travma Ölçeği, Üç Boyutlu Bağlanma Stilleri Ölçeği ve Savunma Biçimleri Testi uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Pearson Korelasyon analizi ve çoklu hiyerarşik lineer regresyon kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, fiziksel ihmalin matür, nevrotik ve immatür savunma tarzlarını yordadığı; duygusal ihmalin matür ve nevrotik savunma biçimlerini, cinsel istismarın ise matür savunma biçimini yordadığı bulunmuştur. Bağlanma boyutları ile savunma biçimleri arasındaki ilişkilerde, güvenli bağlanmanın matür ve nevrotik savunma biçimlerini yordadığı; kaçınmacı bağlanmanın matür, nevrotik ve immatür savunmaları, kaygılı-kararsız bağlanmanın ise nevrotik ve immatür savunmaları yordadığı bulunmuştur. Düzenleyici etki analizi sonuçlarında ise, çocukluk çağı ruhsal travmaları ile nevrotik savunma ve matür savunma biçimlerini kullanma düzeyi arasındaki ilişkide bağlanma boyutlarının düzenleyici bir etkisinin olmadığı, buna karşılık duygusal istismar ile immatür savunma biçimini kullanma arasındaki ilişkide kaçınan bağlanmanın, fiziksel ihmal ile immatür savunma biçimini kullanma arasındaki ilişkide kaygılı-kararsız bağlanmanın düzenleyici etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bir başka ifade ile duygusal istismara maruz kalmış bireyler eğer kaçınmalı da bağlanırlarsa immatür savunma biçimlerini kullanma düzeyleri daha da artmaktadır. Fiziksel ihmale maruz kalan bireyler kaygılı-kararsız bağlanırlarsa immatür savunma biçimlerini daha çok kullanmaktadır.

OBJECTIVE

Adult brainstem gliomas (BSGs) are rare tumors of the CNS that are poorly understood. Upregulation of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in the tumor indicates the mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), which can be detected by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Although histological examination is required for the definitive diagnosis of BSG, 2HG-optimized MRS (2HG-MRS) may be useful, considering the difficult nature of brainstem lesion biopsy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of 2HG-MRS for diagnosing IDH-mutant adult BSG.

METHODS

Patients with a radiographically confirmed brainstem tumor underwent 3T MRS. A single voxel was set in the lesion with reference to the T2 or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery image and analyzed according to the 2HG-tailored MRS protocol (point-resolved spectroscopic sequence; echo time 35 msec). All patients underwent intraoperative navigation-guided or CT-guided stereotactic biopsy for histopathological diagnosis. The status of IDH and H3K27M mutations was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and direct DNA sequencing. In addition, the authors examined the relationship between patients’ 2HG concentrations and survival time.

RESULTS

Ten patients (7 men, 3 women; median age 33.5 years) underwent 2HG-MRS and biopsy. Four patients had an H3K27M mutation and 4 had an IDH1 mutation (1 R132H canonical IDH mutation, 2 R132S and 1 R132G noncanonical IDH mutations). Two had neither H3K27M nor IDH mutations. The H3K27M and IDH mutations were mutually exclusive. Most tumors were located in the pons. There was no significant radiological difference between mutant H3K27M and IDH on a conventional MRI sequence. A 2HG concentration ≥ 1.8 mM on MRS demonstrated 100% (95% CI 28%–100%) sensitivity and 100% (95% CI 42%–100%) specificity for IDH-mutant BSG (p = 0.0048). The median overall survival was 10 months in IDH–wild-type BSG patients (n = 6) and could not be estimated in IDH-mutant BSG patients (n = 4) due to the small number of deaths (p = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONS

2HG-MRS demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of IDH-mutant BSG. In addition, 2HG-MRS may be useful for predicting the prognosis of adult BSG patients.

OBJECTIVE

There are few published data concerning pituitary adenomas (PAs) derived from multiple lineages. In this study the authors aimed to determine the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic profiles of PAs with multiple cell lineage combinations (PAwMCs).

METHODS

The authors reviewed data on 723 patients with PAs who had undergone surgery between 2018 and 2021 and identified 93 cases (12.9%) of PAwMC. They collected detailed data on these cases, including clinical information, pathological features, and prognosis. From among 589 cases of PAs with only one cell lineage (PAwOCs), they randomly selected 100 cases to investigate differences between the two tumors. To enable investigation of the characteristics of different subgroups, they further subclassified PAwMCs into 4 groups according to the following specified combinations of pituitary-associated transcription factors: group A, immunopositive for pituitary-specific positive transcription factor 1 (Pit1) and steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1); group B, immunopositive for Pit1 and T-box transcription factor (Tpit); group C, immunopositive for SF1 and Tpit; and group D, immunopositive for Pit1, SF1, and Tpit.

RESULTS

Compared with PAwOC, PAwMC was more often associated with hormone hypersecretion (31.0% vs 50.0%, p = 0.037) and had worse short-term prognoses with lower complete response rates (58.7% vs 30.0%, p = 0.026) and more postoperative complications (19.4% vs 35.9%, p = 0.041). Each of the 4 PAwMC subgroups had its own clinical features. Overall, PAwMCs displayed more neurological manifestations than evidence of hypersecretion, which may be attributable to a disparity between pituitary-associated transcription factors and endocrine-related manifestations. Moreover, multiple cell lineages, tumor size (p = 0.011), and Knosp grade (p = 0.013) were all found to be critical predictors of the prognosis of PAwMC.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors described a special subtype of PAs, which derived from multiple lineages. They found a unique effect of the combination of distinct cell lineages on PAs and present detailed clinicopathological and prognostic profiles of these special PAs. These data will contribute to a more comprehensive view of PAs and assist in the selection of treatment.
Influence of the living Pareto chart and data transparency on patient outcomes in neurosurgery

Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

Quality improvement (QI) tools are increasingly being used to calibrate healthcare quality. Achieving healthcare quality is essential, as there is a movement toward value-based healthcare delivery. Visual management, such as a living Pareto chart, is a strategy for improvement within the QI framework. The authors herein hypothesized that transparency of data through a living Pareto chart is a powerful way to improve patient outcomes and gain clinical efficiency.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively reviewed patient outcomes and complications; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks; shunt, baclofen, and other surgical site infections; readmission rates; and same- or next-day appointments in a cohort of patients at the Riley Hospital for Children from November 1, 2016, to May 31, 2020. Similarly, they reviewed neurosurgical outcomes and complications at a second institution, the Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, where a living Pareto chart was utilized from February 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022. The discrete frequency and rates per month of outcomes and complications were graphed on scatterplots, Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to measure the strength of the relationship between event frequency and time, and best-fit lines illustrated the relationship between those points through the least-squares method.

RESULTS

At both the Riley Hospital for Children and Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, the use of a living Pareto chart to display data transparently was associated with decreasing infections, and it was associated with decreasing readmissions at Riley. On the other hand, it encouraged same- or next-day clinic appointments to be offered to patients and families. Interestingly, CSF leaks were not mitigated with data transparency alone.

CONCLUSIONS

Transparency is a driver of change in patient, provider, and institutional behaviors. It is an essential element of QI and patient safety, as well as building a culture of trust. Readmissions, infections, and same- or next-day appointments were influenced by the living Pareto chart; however, CSF leaks remained recalcitrant to data transparency. Other QI strategies may be necessary to positively affect the occurrence of CSF leaks in neurosurgery.
„Wysmaruję wam twarze gnojówką” (Ml 2,3b). Mowa Boga do kapłanów (Ml 2,1–9) jako manifest reformy Nehemiasza. Kryzys kapłaństwa i degradacja lewitów w pierwszej połowie V wieku przed Chr.

Druga dysputa w Księdze Malachiasza (Ml 1,6-2,9), skierowana przeciwko kapłanom — wraz z pozostałymi dysputami — dopełnia obrazu zagrożeń, przed jakimi stanęło społeczeństwo judzkie w poszukiwaniu tożsamości religijno-narodowej w pierwszej połowie V wieku przed Chr. Artykuł stara się odpowiedzieć na pytanie, kim byli zdegradowani przez Boga kapłani oraz czym było przymierze z Lewim (Ml 2,1-9), które miało pozostać aktualne. Artykuł stara się uprawdopodobnić tezę, że Ml 2,1-9 jest manifestem religijnej reformy, która doprowadziła do degradacji lewitów w czasach Nehemiasza. Z jednej strony podważa się więc teorię Juliusa Wellhausena, według której degradacja lewitów była pokłosiem reformy Jozjasza, z drugiej zaś interpretuje dwa inne teksty podejmujące ten sam temat (2 Krl 23,9-10; Ez 44,10-16) jako próbę archaizującej projekcji degradacji lewitów na czasy monarchii. Analiza egzegetyczna rzuca nowy snop światła na Ml 2,1-9, na jej tłumaczenie i zrozumienie
Diversity Management in Sudan's Democratic Transitional Arrangements
Authors: Saeed Sami
Published: January 2023

This technical paper explores and analyses diversity management in Sudan’s democratic transition arrangement (2019–2021). It primarily utilizes the concept of ‘diversity management’ for legislative practice. To administer geographical, multicultural, multi-ethnic and multilingual population diversity, Sudan has passed, in accordance with international principles, many laws to manage diversity in a way that reflects strategic national planning. The paper analyses existing Sudanese legislation in light of its role in administering coexistence, protecting minorities’ rights and observing human rights as enshrined in national transitional documents and laws. It reflects on some indicators that reveal that Sudan has many gaps in managing diversity peacefully. There is no definite and well-defined set of measures that constitute diversity management. The paper concludes that the first step towards diversity management might be to analyse national laws regarding the present state and effects of diversity. Consequently, to address the identified gaps, the author concludes that Sudan must develop a law reform strategy in the interest of diversity management and equality based on international standards.

Published: January 2023

Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is a method used to analyze a case by considering spatial effects. Spatial effects indicate differences in environmental characteristics between regions. A spatial effect can be seen from the violation of the assumption of the multiple linear regression homoscedasticity test. Research in the health sector often shows that the spread of disease, especially infectious diseases, is influenced by spatial effects, one of which is tuberculosis. In 2020, North Sumatra will become one of the areas with high tuberculosis cases, so it is necessary to study tuberculosis cases and determine the factors that influence it by involving spatial effects. This study aims to model tuberculosis cases and analyze the ten factors thought to influence it using the GWR method with the adaptive kernel bi-square weighting function. The results showed that 23 regencies/cities had local GWR models and different factors influencing tuberculosis cases for each region, and ten other regencies/cities were influenced by other factors outside the variables studied. Based on the variables that affect it, 13 regional groups are formed. Modeling with the GWR method can explain tuberculosis cases in North Sumatra by 99.4%, and other predictor variables influence the rest.

The number of aquaculture households in Palembang City continues to increase from 2017 only 682 households to 1,050 households in 2018. But on the contrary in terms of the amount of aquaculture production, the total production decreased by 24,259 tons in 2014 and only 20,327 tons in 2017 (BPS, 2018). One of the steps that can be taken to determine the condition of aquaculture in Palembang is by doing forecasting. This is useful for knowing or predicting the results of aquaculture production with precise accuracy. This study aims to determine the prediction of aquaculture production in Palembang City using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) method. The results of the ACF and PACF plots show that both plots have a tail off pattern. the predictive model obtained is ARIMA (1,0,1) but after over fitting the model, the ARIMA model (2,0,1) is the best model because it has the smallest MAPE value, which is 48,30. Based on the ARIMA model (2,0.1), the forecast values for aquaculture production in Palembang City from 2021 to 2030 are 19542,598 tons, 12846,331 tons, 50682,093 tons, 43389,831 tons, 15352,492 tons. , 9595,313 tons, 26140,949 tons, 36258,543 tons, 29041,898 tons, and 19548.050 tons

On the inapt attempt against the resolution of the Polish Supreme Court of 19 January 2017, I KZP 16/16
Authors: Pohl Łukasz
Published: January 2023

The article is an assessment of the resolution of the bench of seven judges of the Supreme Court of 19 January 2017 (I KZP 16/16) with the wording: „1. Included in art. 13 § 2 k.k. the phrase: „no item suitable for committing a prohibited act on it” means the lack of such an object, which belongs to the set of designators of the mark of the subject of execution activity of the offense type committed by the perpetrator. 2. The penal liability of the perpetrator of an attempted inept attempt (Article 13 § 2 of the Code of Penal Procedure) may be in accordance with the decisions made as to the intention to commit an offense on a particular subject”. The article expressed the opinion that the voted resolution of the Supreme Court is difficult to assess unequivocally. Its main drawback is that it does not explain the meaning of the arrangements for intent to commit a prohibited act on a particular item. Therefore, it was finally concluded that the position presented in the commented resolution does not fully resolve the legal problem analyzed in it.

First of all, the paper presents the system of insolvency law in the EU, taking into account the sources of EU insolvency law. This is followed by a presentation of European law regulations concerning the impact of an insolvency order issued in one EU Member State on litigation and enforcement proceedings in another Member State, including the effects of such insolvency order on pending lawsuits, with special focus on enforcement and examination proceedings. Then there follows a presentation of the regulations concerning consumer bankruptcy in the UK, including the sources of law, with a specification of the particularities of the law of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, the procedure, the legal effects of bankruptcy orders and the legal effects of writing-off of debts. Finally, the influence of winding-up proceedings initiated in Ireland and the UK on the initiation and conduct of litigation before Polish courts and on the course of examination proceedings in Poland. On the basis of the above reflections, a conclusion is formulated that if in Ireland and the UK consumer bankruptcy proceedings are initiated, while in Poland proceedings are pending with respect to the bankruptcy estate, these proceedings should be stayed pursuant to the Polish law. These proceedings should be resumed with the participation of a trustee or, where no trustee has been appointed, with the participation of an official receiver. It is also indicated that if an insolvency or bankruptcy order is issued in the UK, then English law will apply to assessing the possibility of initiating examination proceedings before a Polish court. Under the English law, unsecured creditors have no legal remedies against the debtor until declaration of bankruptcy without the leave of the court (Section 285 of the Insolvency Act). Once they obtain consent, they have to submit their claims to the trustee. Only secured creditors, e.g. ones having a mortgage on the debtor’s property, have the right to pursue their secured clams bypassing the rules presented above.

This paper concerns the problem of establishment of mandatory regime of separation of property by a court – both upon request of one of the spouses and upon request of a spouse’s creditor. The first part of the article contains an analysis of the current legal regulations. Legal literature and case law are discussed with regard to interpretation of the statutory reasons for establishment of the regime of separation of property by the court. Moreover, the author critically analyses the possibility of establishing the regime of separation of property upon a creditor’s request, which possibility was introduced into the laws regulating marital property systems, and reconstructs, among other things, the original motives of this amendment. The second part is a report on a survey of case files conducted by the author on a sample of 195 case files concerning the establishment of the regime of separation. The survey permitted the author to evaluate the practice of the administration of justice in this regard and to formulate conclusions. In particular, attention is drawn to a considerable number of non-litigious court cases, where evidentiary proceedings were much reduced and whose course differed from the model assumed in the statutory law.
Odpowiedzialność przebijająca w prawie amerykańskim i włoskim

The paper discusses issues relating to piercing of the corporate veil in the context of protecting company creditors. The notion of piercing the corporate veil comprises any situations when a company’s autonomy vis-a-vis the members or that of the members vis-a-vis the company or other related entities is somewhat relativised due to finding circumstances that prove an abuse of the norms concerning separate legal personality of a company. The purpose of this mechanism in some legal orders is an attempt at eliminating dishonest actions of such entities that abuse the privilege of legal personality. Therefore, the piercing of the corporate veil is a response to the demands of economic transactions and is intended to ensure additional protection to creditors of companies or creditors of members of companies. Within the framework of the paper, the issues relating to piercing the corporate veil are analysed in the context of US and Italian law. In the discussion of the particularities of the US system, the basic theories of piercing of the corporate veil formulated by US legal scholars are presented, along with the way these theories are applied in those states where judgments relating to piercing the corporate veil are the most frequent, that is, New York, Texas, California, and Delaware. In turn, the Italian Republic is among the few European states where laws regulating the liability of the parent company to creditors of its subsidiaries were introduced. Consequently, an analysis of the Italian provisions may be important in the context of drawing conclusions for research problems concerning the system of Polish law.
Establishment of Contacts between Grandparents and Minor Grandchildren in the Practice of Polish Courts
Authors: Holewińska-Łapińska Elżbieta
Published: January 2023

This article concerns contacts of grandparents with minor grandchildren (Art. 1136 of the Family and Guardianship Code); the related problems are presented against the backdrop of social and pedagogical aspects of intergenerational bonds. The author presents the thesis that contacts between grandparents and minor grandchildren should be perceived not only as a right, but also as a duty of the parties, though having a lesser intensity than the similar relationship between parents and their minor children. In case of a conflict between the standpoints of parents and children concerning contacts with grandparents, the primary duty of minor children is that of obedience towards parents, which takes precedence over the duty of contact with grandparents. Yet parents should exercise parental authority in such a way so as to avoid creating conflicts of loyalty on the children’s part. Moreover, they should take steps to enable their children to discharge their legal duties, established in the minors’ interest. The article also presents the basic findings from a study of court files in cases relating to grandparents’ applications for establishment of their contacts with minor grandchildren.
An analysis of some ethical argumentation about genetically modified food
Authors: Green Nancy L.
Published: January 2023

We present an analysis of ethical argumentation and rhetorical elements in an article on the debate about growing genetically modified food (GMF), an issue of current interest in environmental ethics. Ethical argumentation is argumentation that a certain action is permissible, forbidden, or obligatory in terms of ethical intuitions, principles, or theories. Based on analysis of argumentation in the article, we propose several argumentation schemes for descriptive modeling of utilitarian arguments as an alternative to using more general schemes such as practical reasoning and argument from consequences. We also show how the article promoted its pro-GMF stance using rhetorical elements such as quotation, argument from expert opinion, and ad hominem attacks. Pedagogical and computational implications of the analysis of argumentation and rhetoric are discussed.

Background: Emerging evidence has linked electrocardiographic parameters with serum adhesion molecules and cognition; however, their interrelationship has not been explored. Objective: We sought to investigate the associations of ventricular depolarization and repolarization intervals with serum adhesion molecules and cognitive function among rural-dwelling older adults. Methods: This population-based study engaged 4,886 dementia-free participants (age ≥60 years, 56.2% women) in the baseline examination (March-September 2018) of MIND-China. Of these, serum intercellular and vascular adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) were measured in 1591 persons. We used a neuropsychological test battery to assess cognitive function. Resting heart rate, QT, JT intervals, and QRS duration were assessed with electrocardiogram. Data were analyzed using general linear models adjusting for multiple confounders. Results: Longer JT interval was significantly associated with lower z-scores of global cognition (multivariable-adjusted β= –0.035; 95% confidence interval = –0.055, –0.015), verbal fluency (–0.035; –0.063, –0.007), attention (–0.037; –0.065, –0.010), and executive function (–0.044; –0.072, –0.015), but not with memory function (–0.023; –0.054, 0.009). There were similar association patterns of QT interval with cognitive functions. In the serum biomarker subsample, longer JT and QT intervals remained significantly associated with poorer executive function and higher serum adhesion molecules. We detected statistical interactions of JT interval with adhesion molecules (pinteraction <0.05), such that longer JT interval was significantly associated with a lower executive function z-score only among individuals with higher serum ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. Conclusion: Longer ventricular depolarization and repolarization intervals are associated with worse cognitive function in older adults and vascular endothelial dysfunction may play a part in the associations.

Background: The incidence of dementia in Black and Asian populations in the UK is set to rise. There is concern surrounding differences in services provided for different ethnic groups. Objective: This study aimed to examine ethnic variations in survival, services accessed, and medication use across White, Black, and Asian groups in routine memory clinic setting. Methods: We retrospectively examined referrals to a memory service between 2013 and 2021. A random sample of 104 White, 99 Asian, and 74 Black patients were analyzed for differences in support services, voluntary services, medication use, and survival rate. Results: There were statistically significant differences in survival of the Asian compared to the White group (Hazard ratio (HR = 2.17,95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23–3.85, p = 0.008)) following adjustment for age, gender, diagnosis, cognitive impairment, severity, access to support and voluntary services, and use of cholinesterase inhibitors, N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonists, and antipsychotics. The Asian group showed a statistically significantly reduction in access to support services compared to the White group (HR = 0.05, 95% CI 0.01–0.37, p = 0.003). In contrast, the survival rate was similar between the White and Black dementia patients. Conclusion: We found significantly reduced survival and reduced access to support services in Asian compared to White patients with dementia. Further research is needed to investigate the generalizability of our results, and determine the cause, and consequent remedies of these associations in ethnic minority groups.
