O hematoma sublingual é caracterizado pela elevação de assoalho lingual equimótico/hemorrágico, sugerindo sangramento submucoso, após distúrbios de coagulação e/ou trauma em região. O estudo visa descrever um caso de hematoma sublingual espontâneo secundário ao uso contínuo de um anticoagulante, com prognóstico favorável após abordagem terapêutica conservadora. Paciente, MGC, sexo feminino, 68 anos, deu entrada no serviço de urgência/emergência do Hospital da Restauração Governador Paulo Guerra - SES/UPE, com história de aumento de volume espontâneo dentro de 12 horas, apresentando extenso hematoma de região sublingual e submentual, queixa fonética, respiratória e álgica; bem como equimoses nas extremidades, melena e intensa artralgia. Referiu usar Marevan® 10mg (Varfarina), Ácido Acetilsalicílico (AAS) 100mg e Digoxina 0,25mg após acidente vascular isquêmico (AVCI). Devido ao quadro clínico, a medicação foi suspensa, houve a solicitação de coagulograma de rotina, endoscopia, e suporte ventilatório até a remissão dos sintomas; para posterior adequação da dosagem adequada. O tratamento conservador mostrou-se eficaz para tal caso. O hematoma sublingual é uma complicação rara e potencialmente fatal, sendo normalmente decorrente do uso de anticoagulantes orais, apresenta diagnóstico essencialmente clínico e a abordagem terapêutica conservadora é bem-sucedida, uma vez que os fatores causais forem controlados.
Büyük Anlatının Yitimi Doğrultusunda documenta 8’de Yeni Yaklaşımlar
Authors: TEZCAN Seda
Published: May 2021

1987’de 8’incisi düzenlenen documenta sergisi, teorisini dönemin gerekleri doğrultusunda kaçınılmaz bir durum olan postmodernizm üzerine inşa eder. Yeni bir sosyal durum olan postmodernizm ile birlikte üst anlatılar gücünü yitirir, otoriteler sorgulamaya açılır. Bu durum yeni tutumları ve yeni bir eser dilini gerekli kılar. Bu doğrultuda sanatın sosyal bağlarını sorgulayan documenta 8, yeni tutumlar ve yeni biçimlerin denendiği bir alan haline gelir. Sergide yeni yaklaşımlarla döneminin sanatsal ve kültürel yapısına cevaplar arandığı söylenebilir. Bu yaklaşımlar teorik tartışmaların temelini oluşturur ve eserlerde kendini gösterir. Postmodern epistemolojik yöntemin ağır bastığı teorik yaklaşımlar ve yaratım pratikleri, sanat eserinin yeni konumunu ve sorumluluğunu sorgulamaya açar. documenta 8’de geçmiş ve güncel olan arasında hem bir köprü kurulur hem de geçmiş ve güncel durum arasında kıyaslamalar yapılır. Sergi bir yandan kendi birikimini muhafaza ederken bir yandan da güncel kırılmalar ile yakından ilgilidir. Eleştirel ve deneysel bir yapı ile kurgulanan sergi yeniliklerin sınandığı bir mutfağa dönüşür. Hala güncelliğini koruyan sosyal ve plastik sorgulamalar, serginin teorik alt yapısı incelenerek ve eserler ile örneklendirilerek gözden geçirilebilir.

Published: May 2021

Test anxiety is a strong predictor of achievement in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning process and has considerable influences on proficiency in the target language. Research also has not reached a consensus on the sources and the effects of test anxiety. This study aims to examine the sources of test anxiety among foreign language learners, to find the effects of test anxiety on EFL learners, and explore the strategies used by learners to overcome test anxiety. The sample group of the study consisted of 57 students studying EFL at a preparatory school of a state university in Turkey. A background questionnaire, focus groups, essay papers, and interviews were used to collect qualitative data. The findings reached in the study show that EFL learners suffer from test anxiety due to several reasons and that they experience physical problems, problems related to tests, and affective problems, whereas they use a limited number of strategies to decrease the level of test anxiety. The study suggests that EFL teachers should raise their awareness of anxiety-provoking issues, their effects on learners, and the strategies to decrease their levels.
Continuity and Change: The Academic Teacher-Student Relationships in the Discourse on the Higher Education Reform in Poland
Authors: Spychalska-Stasiak Justyna , Ostrowicka Helena
Published: May 2021

The article presents the results of research on the discursive models of academic relationships that come to the fore in the academic discourse on the reform of higher education in Poland. The aim of the research was to capture the ways of formulating knowledge about the reform of science and higher education and its subjects (i.e., academic teachers and students). The research material comprised 17 Polish academic monographs published in the years 2011-2014 (immediately after the introduction of the higher education reform in Poland). The direction of the analyses was emergent and inductive and was in line with the assumptions of post-Foucauldian discourse analysis. The theoretical basis was determined by the set of categories that constitute the phenomenon of the “formation of knowledge.” The main research problem was expressed by the question about what "truths" about the reform of science and higher education, its main subjects (academic teachers and students), and the relationships between them emerge from the analysed discourse. The research has led to the reconstruction of discursive models of academic teachers (traditional professor, docile workhorse, and hopeless practitioner) and students (student sensu stricto, client, disobedient citizen).

EFFECT OF γ-IRRADIATION ON THE STRUCTURE OF HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITES WITH GaAs AND GaAs FILLERS
Authors: Gadzhieva N.N. , Akhmedova G.B.
Published: May 2021

IR-Fourier spectroscopy was used to study structural changes in γ-irradiated high density polyethylene composites with GaAs and GaAs semiconductor fillers at room temperature. From the dose dependence of the crystallinity degree of the HDPE/GaAs and HDPE/GaAs composites, it was found that the HDPE/GaAs composites are more radiation-resistant in the absorbed dose region Фγ = 5…150 kGy compared to the HDPE/GaAs composites. The observed change in the degree of crystallinity is associated with a change in the supramolecular structure of γ-irradiated composites.

The Cornish Overseas
Authors: Payton Philip
Published: May 2021

In this fully revised and up-dated edition of The Cornish Overseas, Philip Payton draws upon almost two decades of additional research undertaken by historians the world over since the first paperback version of this book was published in 2005. Now published by University of Exeter Press, this edition of Philip Payton’s classic history of Cornwall’s ‘great emigration’ takes account of numerous new sources to present a comprehensive, definitive picture of the Cornish diaspora. The Cornish Overseas begins by identifying some of the classic themes of Cornish emigration history, including Cornwall’s ‘emigration culture’ and ‘emigration trade’, and goes on to sketch early Cornish settlement in North America and Australia. The book then examines in detail the upsurge in Cornish emigration after 1815, showing how Cornwall became swiftly one of the great emigration regions of Europe. Discoveries of silver, copper and gold drew Cornish miners to Latin America, while Cornish agriculturalists were attracted to the United States and Canada. The discoveries of copper in South Australia and in Michigan during the 1840s offered new destinations for the emigrant Cornish, as did the Californian gold rush in 1849 and the Victorian gold rush in Australia in 1851. The crash of copper-mining in Cornwall in 1866 sped further waves of emigrants to countries as disparate as New Zealand and South Africa. In each of these places the Cornish remained distinctive as ‘Cousin Jacks’ and ‘Cousin Jennys’, establishing their own communities and making important contributions to the social, political and economic development of the new worlds. By 1914, however, Cornwall was no longer the international centre of mining expertise, the mantle having passed to America, Australia and South Africa, and Cornish emigration had dwindled as a result. Nonetheless, the Cornish at home and abroad remained aware of their global transnational identity, an identity that has been revitalised in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Published: May 2021

El cultivo de chile habanero representa una alternativa de diversificación a la actividad agrícola del municipio de Tierra Blanca Ver., donde la economía gira alrededor de la producción de caña de azúcar. Por lo que es trascendente el diseño de metodologías que optimicen su producción. En las condiciones en que actualmente se siembran, se obtienen rendimientos que no superan las 5 tn/ha, debido a la variabilidad de las precipitaciones, y el aumento de factores que facilitan la presencia de virus y hongos, que afectan el desarrollo de la planta y como consecuencia los niveles de producción. En este trabajo se introdujo un sistema de fertirriego, y adicional al paquete básico de fertilización se incorporó el componente silicio, evaluado a diferentes concentraciones, adicionadas al suelo en un cultivo de Chile Habanero hibrido Kukulcan, en condiciones de cielo abierto, en el Campo Experimental del Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Tierra Blanca, ubicado a los 18º26´latitud Norte y 96º20´ longitud Oeste. Se estableció una parcela de 2450 m2, con una densidad de 1736 plantas, se aplicaron 3 concentraciones de silicio 200, 400 y 600 g por planta, cada tratamiento consistió de 434 plantas. Se midieron las variables de grosor del tallo y altura de la planta, y el registro de número de flores y frutos por planta. Se encontró que la presencia de silicio favoreció al desarrollo vegetativo, y mejoró los rendimientos de producción, al obtener un mayor número de frutos por planta. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre las concentraciones de silicio utilizadas.

THE IMPACT OF ISLAM ON SOCIOPOLITICAL AND SPIRITUAL LIFE IN CENTRAL ASIA
Authors: BEKMIRZAEV Ilhomjon , GAFUROVA Irodaхon
Published: May 2021

In this article, the facts about Central Asia being one of the civilizations with independent discourse are enlightened. During centuries-long growth, it points out this civilization’s progress of inherently unique laws and domains, despite anthropological, social, political, linguistic, religious, and other changes. Furthermore, in Uzbekistan’s central parts, in Bukhara and Samarkand, cultural values were the foundation of Islamic civilization. Next, this work provides notes about the rich religious and educational experiences that were harmonized with those values being formulated by hundreds of generations. Moreover, it illustrates the stages showing how the connection between regional Islamic sciences and the national culture was solidified after the advent of Islam’s spread in Central Asia from the 7th century. The article provides information from available primary and secondary sources to support the points. Additionally, this paper provides data about the mutual effect and the learning stages of Central Asia and Islamic culture and some aspects of the time when central Asia’s regional form was developed and stabilized. After the determination of madhabs in Islamic history (the end of the 8th, the start of the 9th century), Hanafi madhab became dominant as the number one power in the spiritual life of Central Asia. That’s why the paper illustrates that part also as it had direct active participation and primary ideology throughout the processes. The reader finds out that Hanafi madhab had a vital role in understanding Islam’s history in Central Asia, the importance of its regional culture, and the harmonizing features of national values. The paper discusses that in Hanafi madhab’s regional success, the Bukhara and Samarkand played a dynamic role as a historical and cultural center. Moreover, the contribution of various scientists of Mavarannahr in the development of Islamic Sciences was priceless.
THE CONCEPT OF IJARA IN ISLAM AND ITS ROLE IN THE REGULATION OF SOCIAL RELATIONS
Authors: Erkaev MAMURJON
Published: May 2021

This article examines the issues related to the lease agreement in Islamic social and legal relations. A substantial aspect of studying this topic is the possibility of solving urgent problems associated with social and legal relations concerning rental issues. In the scientific article, the lexical meaning of the word “Ijara” (rent or lease) is considered from the standpoint of semantics. A definition is given from the encyclopedic and linguistic dictionaries and other sources. Based on scientific analysis, the article examines and compares the meanings of the term according to Islamic law based on the opinion of the mujtahids of the Hanafi madhhab and jurists representing other madhhabs of ahl as­sunna wa­l­jama’a. It also provides evidence of the admissibility of a lease under Sharia law. The decisions and arguments of scholars who claim that a lease is unacceptable under Sharia were studied in detail. Purpose. Analysis of information on a lease agreement in Islamic legal sources and scientific substantiation of its legal basis. Methods. We used such methods as an integrated approach, systemic, historical, comparative­criti cal, source study, and general research methods. Results. The research and comparative analysis of explanatory, lexical, encyclopedic dictionaries and legal sources on the lexical meaning of the term “rent” are carried out. We have established that the dictionary meaning of the term “Ijara” (rent or lease) means “wages for a certain action.” We conducted a comparative study of the scientific and terminological meaning of rent based on fiqh sources belonging to the Hanafi school and other madhhabs of ahl as­sunna wa­l­jama’a. Therefore, its scientific and terminological meaning is to give or receive something for temporary use for a certain amount of money and hire a person to do some work for a certain amount of money. The article pays special attention to highlighting the issue of istihsan, even though the lease agreement is fixed in the Sharia, the verses of the Koran, hadith, and the consensus of the ummah (union of scholars). Hanafi jurists widely used the istihsan method in solving problems related to social relations.

Natural theology and science in contemporary apologetic context: An overview
Authors: Williams Peter S.
Published: May 2021

This essay offers some context to this Supplement edition of Theofilos, which presents peer reviewed papers resulting from the 2018 NLA Gimlekollen Symposium on the theme of ‘Science, Natural Theology, and Christian Apologetics’. I review something of the history of natural theology and of natural philosophy (i.e. science), discuss objections to natural theology from theological and philosophical critics, review some key developments within the field of natural theology (especially as it relates to science), and end with some advice on natural theology and Christian apologetics in an age of science.
Exploring Genesis 1-3 as a true worldview story: Reading alongside Francis A. Schaeffer, C. S. Lewis, and C. John Collins
Authors: Dahle Lars , Hinderaker Bjørn
Published: May 2021

As co-editors of this Theofilos Supplement issue, we are delighted that the issue contains such a wealth of valuable contributions. As theologians and apologists, we find Jack Collins’ approach promising, not the least because he draws on key insights from the two influential 20th century apologists C. S. Lewis and Francis A. Schaeffer in his exposition and application of Genesis 1-3 as a true worldview story.

We have a threefold intention with this article. First, to introduce some key contributions from Schaeffer, Lewis and Collins, largely in their own words. Secondly, to indicate why we find their contributions attractive and worthy of further explorations. Thirdly, in view of these contributions, to offer some brief, final reflections on how to understand Genesis 1-3 in worldview terms and how to integrate and apply this worldview story in our apologetics.
The apologetic fruitfulness of a revised natural theology
Authors: Sæther Knut-Willy
Published: May 2021

This article explores the epistemological locus of a revised natural theology (RNT) and examines the apologetic fruitfulness of this concept. In the current science-religion dialogue, RNT is advocated by scholars such as John Polkinghorne. I argue in this article that RNT partakes of the nature of faith and can be labelled as theological metaphysics. The apologetic output is then mainly seen as a contribution to constructing a coherent philosophical-theological understanding of reality. For being able to do this, we need to acknowledge a wider epistemological framework for RNT. One step is to rephrase the underlying critical realism to a constructive critical realism. This approach takes better into account the complexity of our reality. Thus, the apologetic fruitfulness can be evaluated against other competitive coherent systems at a transdisciplinary level.
Ateism som en meningsskapande livsåskådning?
Authors: Vasquez Fernando
Published: May 2021

I denna artikel kommer jag att jämföra två böcker som diskuterar frågan huruvida ateism kan vara existentiell relevant - Francis Jonbäcks Meningsfullt liv och Martin Hägglunds Vårt enda liv: sekulär tro och andlig frihet. Jonbäck och Hägglund tar sig an den existentiella utmaning som en del ateister menar att en sekulär livsåskådning måste komma tillrätta med. Utmaningen syftar på ifrågasättandet av ateismens funktionalitet som en livsåskådning och rör huruvida ateism kan berättigas i förhållande till människans existentiella behov.
Responsible Apologetics: Philosophical Reflections on John Warwick Montgomery’s Always Be Ready: A Primer on Defending the Christian Faith (1517 Publishing, 2018)
Authors: Williams Peter S.
Published: May 2021

John Warwick Montgomery (b. 1931) has been a major voice in Christian apologetics since the 1960’s. I have personally benefitted from reading several of Montgomery’s books over the years and have often quoted his work with approval in my own writing. I was therefore excited to read his recent, popular-level book treating a broad range of apologetic issues in the form of a ‘primer’ written to ‘show how easy it is to do apologetics responsibly. In this paper I offer a critical review of his Always Be Ready in order to draw some lessons about responsible apologetics.
Predikan som kommunikation av Evangeliet. Om C. O. Rosenii förkunnelsesätt speglat i bevarade predikoutkast från 1860-talet
Authors: Larspers Torbjörn
Published: May 2021

Carl Olof Rosenius (1816–1868) was one of Sweden’s most widely heard and highly esteemed preachers in his time. Many of his sermons were later printed in the magazine Pietisten and were spread in various reprints and editions. Most people who were influenced by Rosenius met his preaching and teaching through his printed words, but what was it like to hear Rosenius himself preach? How did his spoken words impress his contemporary listeners? To read an outlined, revised and printed sermon afterwards and to listen to it the moment it was delivered are two different things. In the written sermon the reader is not able to hear the preacher’s emphases, pauses, stresses etc. Readers don’t feel the pulse of the moment. Do we know the way in which Rosenius gave his sermons and the impression they made on his contemporary listeners? Since Rosenius has not been recorded we have to rely on various written sources giving at least glimpses of his sermon delivery. Some of these sources consist of eyewitness accounts of those who heard him preach and Rosenius’ own written remarks about his preaching. But there are also some sermon outlines on which he based his preaching. These outlines are kept in the archives of the Swedish Evangelical Mission, Evangeliska Fosterlands-Stiftelsen (EFS) (1856-), one of the institutions Rosenius helped establish, but they have been used very little by previous research. What can the study of these preserved sermon outlines tell us of Rosenius’ preaching method? Do they tell us more about his preparing and preaching?

The problem of collaboration between teachers and parents is not new. However, every time period brings new aspects. This article examines the attitudes of primary school teachers and parents towards collaboration in primary school. In the current society, cooperation is very significant, covering various spheres of life, as well as educational institutions.
The effectiveness of an educational institution's activities depends on the involvement of parents in its activities, and one of the main goals of the school is to encourage parental involvement in the activities of the school community.
The population of the research carried out primary school teachers working in Siauliai city and district schools and pupils’ parents. During the study, 52 primary school teachers and 148 primary school pupils’ parents were interviewed. The study combines quantitative and qualitative methods (questionnaire with closed and open questions).
An analysis of the research data has highlighted the following: both groups of respondents acknowledge the importance of collaboration, indicate successful cooperation conditions, but evaluation of it is slightly different. Both teachers and parents have made a number of rational proposals for improving co-operation. The proposals presented by them revealed a partial mismatch between the opinions of the two groups of respondents. Teachers emphasized the need for a teacher, parent and reciprocal efforts to reduce workload. According to parents, collaboration could be improved by deliberately choosing various forms of cooperation, mutual efforts, improving the quality of teacher-parent relationships, understanding parenting responsibilities, reducing workload.
Keywords: collaboration between teachers and parents, primary school teachers, learners’ parents, primary school.

Os portais de transparência são vinculadores de informações pertinentes a gestão pública de ações, receitas e despesas dos municípios brasileiros para a população ligeiramente interessada. Entretanto, a realidade observada pelas pesquisas feitas pelos órgãos públicos controladoria-geral da união - CGU e ministério público federal – MPF que tiveram como finalidade demonstrar o nível de transparência dos municípios do país tendo como parâmetro a lei de acesso à informação - LAI nº 12.527/11, a constituição federal de 1988 e outros dispositivos legais apontam uma deficiência nacional. Ao analisar os resultados referentes a Alagoas, foram constatados conceitos baixos na maioria dos municípios, tendo apenas os municípios de Maceió, Marechal Deodoro e Coruripe boas colocações, constatando nesse sentido a premência de atuação dos órgãos fiscalizadores para que o direito de acesso a informação seja concretizado. Destarte, para a realização da referida pesquisa foi utilizado como técnicas metodológicas a revisão bibliográfica e análise documental, explorando principalmente livros e artigos que tratam da temática discutida.
VOCALIZAÇÃO DA LATERAL PALATAL EM COMUNIDADES ARAPIRAQUENSES

Published: May 2021

Neste trabalho apresentaremos um fenômeno linguístico nomeada vocalização da lateral palatal, abordando como esta variação ocorre nos seguintes fatores sociais: sexo, idade e escolaridade, baseado em falantes de Arapiraca-AL, usando os áudios do banco de dados alagoano da Universidade Federal de Alagoas-UFAL, fundamentado nossa pesquisa em Labov, Tarallo, Mussalim e Bagno.  Diante dessa análise foi possível perceber que o apagamento do som consonantal por um vocálico nesses casos não tem relação com escolaridade ou de sexo que se policia mais que o outro ao pronunciar as palavras que ocorre essa variação. Nosso objetivo assim como o da sociolinguística é corrigir o dito “errado” pela gramatica normativa, e estudar os motivos dessa variação. Pensando o porquê desse fenômeno ser comum em sociedades desfavorecida, porém pensando esse fenômeno sem preconceito já que pensamos em um lugar de fala onde a língua é livre, pois não falamos o que escrevemos, já que a emissão do som vocálico é mais fácil, por isso faz-se menos esforço para pronunciar palavras. O falante descarta as dificuldades na articulação do som, causando assim essa variação. Mas o português não-padrão é logico, bem estruturado e segue as tendências naturais da língua. Nesse caso o preconceito linguístico é desnecessário e irrelevante. Mostrando que a linguagem é um sistema de signos socializados, ou seja, seus elementos só adquirem significado quando inseridos em contextos de inter-relação, pois cada signo por si só não possui significado relevante. Quando se estuda e compreende esses conceitos, nosso ouvido fica mais sensível a língua falada, respeitando suas variações e seus falantes.
Corpos travestis da literatura: Olhares entre identidade, questões de gênero e alteridade
Authors: Santos Edvaldo
Published: May 2021

O presente trabalho reflete, a partir dos estudos literários e de gênero, sobre a construção identitária de três personagens. O primeiro é Orlando, de Virginia Woolf (2019), o outro anônimo, de Aretusa Von (2000) e o terceiro é nomeado Lina Lee, de Aguinaldo Silva (1977). Essas figuras trocam de sexo, passam a desempenhar papéis sociais diferentes dos de costume e enquanto refletem sobre ser “homem” e ser “mulher”, questionam a própria ideia de normatividade, evidenciando as dificuldades que decorrem da busca por um protótipo de sexualidade heteronormativo e a transgressão por meio da travestilidade. Foram necessárias leituras teóricas sobre o assunto para compor o estudo, tais como, Butler (2019); Preciado (2014); Beauvoir (1967); Foucault (1988); Bourdieu (2002). Com o decorrer da pesquisa, percebeu-se que as performances de gênero realizadas pelos sujeitos evocados nos textos revelam-se em uma multiplicidade de manifestações da identidade, apontando sob uma perspectiva de internalização de um padrão de sexualidade, assimilado na representação puramente biológica do corpo, mas que é, em verdade, uma falácia.

Consent in medical practice
Authors:   Department of Forensic medicine and toxicology, Basaveshwara Medical College and Hospital, Chitradurga, 577502, Karnataka, Shreekrishna H K , Rao Aruna B
Published: May 2021

Consent is an expression of autonomy and represents the right of a patient to make a decision in a medical matter concerning him. Consent is not just a procedural formality but also a legal requirement. The process of informed consent occurs when communication between a patient and physician results in the patient’s authorization or agreement to undergo a specific medical intervention. In India, the number of suits against doctors is increasing because of failure to take informed consent or inadequate consent from patients for various procedures. Any examination of a patient by the doctor without his consent amounts to assault (351IPC). Ignorance of laws is not a defense in negligence cases, so every practicing doctor should be aware of their responsibilities about consent in medical practice. Consent is not an option but a necessity in medical practice. Keywords: Consent; informed consent; autonomy
Inhibition of inflammatory cell infiltration by antagonistic peptides that specifically bind to CCR5 via regulation of the NF-kappa B signaling pathway in rats with colitis
Authors: Song Yang-Da , Song Yi-Hang , Liu Si-Xue , Huang Hua-Rong , Zhong Yingqiang
Published: May 2021

Introduction

CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and the NF-κB signaling pathway play important roles in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Previously, we synthesized two peptides (GH and HY peptides) that specifically bind to the first and the second extracellular loops (ECL1 and ECL2, respectively) of CCR5 and preliminarily found an inhibitory effect of these peptides on colitis. However, the specific mechanism by which these two peptides regulate trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats remains unclear.

Material and methods

Experimental colitis was induced by 5% TNBS. CCR5 antagonist peptides were administered intravenously once a day for a week. Histological evaluation, real-time PCR, western blotting and correlation analysis were performed to examine the effects of the CCR5 binding peptides on the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Results

GH and HY peptides ameliorated mucosal damage and reduced the infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages in experimental colitis (P < 0.05). The expression of NF-κB-related genes, including p105, p100, IKK and TNF-α, was reduced after GH and HY peptide administration (P < 0.01), and the protein level of TNF-α and the phosphorylation of IKK, IκBα and p65 were also suppressed. Furthermore, CCR5 antagonist peptides inhibited nuclear translocation of p65. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the infiltration of inflammatory cells was significantly correlated with the NF-κB pathway.

Conclusions

Antagonistic peptides that specifically bind to ECL1 and ECL2 of CCR5 inhibit the infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages in the colonic mucosa of SD rats with TNBS-induced colitis via regulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway.
Big Five and Dark Triad personality traits as predictors of multicultural attitude and efficacy
Authors: Kayiş Ahmet , Akcaoğlu Mustafa
Published: May 2021

Background

The advances in communication and transportation facilities have accelerated the formation of multicultural societies worldwide. Personality traits may be one of the most important indicators of adapting to multicultural environments. Educational environ-ments are multicultural in terms of the composition of students they serve. The present study investigated the predictive role of Big Five and Dark Triad personality traits on multicultural attitude and efficacy (MAE) among teacher candidates.

Participants and procedure

The study population comprised of teacher candidates (N = 404) studying in Turkey. In order to collect data, Big Five personali-ty and the Dark Triad, the Adjective Based Personality Scale and the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen Scale were used respectively. In addition, data regarding MAE were collected through the Multicultural Efficacy Scale.

Results

The results showed that openness to new experience positively (β = .16, p < .01) and psychopathy negatively (β = –.16, p < .01) predicted multicultural attitude. On the other hand, multicultural efficacy was positively predicted only by openness to new experience (β = .32, p < .001). Therefore, openness and psychopathic traits can play an important role in explaining multi-cultural attitude and efficacy. Also, there is no significant difference with regard to teacher candidates’ multicultural efficacy and attitudes according to their grade level.

Conclusions

Individuals with openness to new experiences personality trait have a positive attitude towards multiculturalism, and they view themselves as competent to get involved in multicultural environments. On the other hand, individuals with the psychopathy personality trait have negative attitudes towards multiculturalism.
Changing the type of knowledge of results affects the learning of a line-drawing task
Authors: M. Fisher Kevin , Kartes Weston , Gregorski Megan
Published: May 2021

Purpose

Augmented feedback is information that is inherently unavailable to a learner and must be provided by an outside source such as an expert or technical display. Such feedback may be divided into knowledge of performance, relating to movement quality, and knowledge of results (KR), relating to a movement outcome. KR has been examined with respect to variables such as timing, medium, and precision. In previous research involving a line-drawing task, individuals presented with higher levels of KR precision outperformed those presented with distracting feedback (nonsense syllables) or none. The present study sought to extend these findings by comparing the effects of KR types on learning a line-drawing task.

Methods

On day 1, participants (n = 48) practised in 4 groups, receiving unique extrinsic feedback: control (no feedback), vague, precise, and visual feedback group. On day 2, learning was assessed via retention and transfer testing.

Results

For acquisition, a repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a main effect for block in absolute constant error and variable error (p < 0.01), indicating improved accuracy and consistency with practice. During testing, results showed a main effect such that accuracy and consistency during retention were better than transfer (p < 0.01). Follow-up pairwise comparisons indicated significantly better performance for the visual feedback group when compared with the control group (p = 0.021).

Conclusions

These results suggest that learning a simple task such as line-drawing may improve through verbal or visual feedback and that the latter medium may be an effective alternative to feedback that is presented verbally.
Time perspective, future anxiety, and hope for success in individuals awaiting bariatric surgery
Authors: Tucholska Kinga , Gulla Bożena , Grabowska Anna , Major Piotr
Published: May 2021

Background

The paper focuses on the problems of temporal functioning of obese individuals and of individuals prepared for bariatric treatment. The experience of time heavily weighs on many areas of human functioning, everyday activity, planning and achieving goals, engaging in pro-health behaviours, and in consequence on the quality of life and on physical health. Contingent on numerous factors, obesity may be related to focusing on particular aspects of time perspective. The aim of the study was to determine the specificity of particular temporal dispo-sitions in individuals prepared for bariatric surgery, and thus to devise suitable post-op psychological interven-tions.

Participants and procedure

The study sample comprised 28 individuals (60.7% women, mean age M = 43.82 years, SD = 10.01, mean BMI M = 44.83 kg/m2, SD = 6.51) awaiting bariatric surgery. The data were collected individually with the following pen-and-paper questionnaires: the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory, the Dark Future Scale, and the Polish adaptation of Snyder’s Adult Hope Scale, which is named the Hope for Success Questionnaire.

Results

The results showed the prevalence of present hedonistic time perspective in the obese. With regard to future anxiety or the hope for success, no significant deviations from the general population were observed.

Conclusions

The results indicate that this group is in need of temporal psychotherapy aimed at balancing the time perspec-tive. The results may also be interpreted through the lens of contextual determinants connected with task orien-tation preceding the surgery.
