Do people avoid mental effort after facing a highly demanding task?
Authors: Gieseler Karolin , Inzlicht Michael , Friese Malte
Published: April 2020

Ego depletion effects are usually examined in a sequential task paradigm in which exerting mental effort in a first task is thought to affect performance on a subsequent self-control task. A so-called ego depletion effect is observed if performance on the second task is impaired for the high demand relative to the low demand group. The present studies take a different approach. Instead of measuring performance in the second task that is equally difficult for all participants, the present studies investigated effects of effortful exertion on the choice to willingly exert effort on a subsequent task. Three pre-registered studies investigated if participants select less effort demanding math problems for upcoming tasks compared to a control group after exerting mental effort in an initial task. Results were mixed. Study 1 (N = 86) revealed no significant effect of mental effort exertion on mean choice difficulty. In Study 2 (N = 269), the expected effect emerged in an exploratory analysis when controlling for math self-assessment, which was robustly associated with the choice measure. Study 3 (N = 330) descriptively, albeit non-significantly replicated this result. An internal random-effects meta-analysis revealed a small overall effect of g = 0.18 when accounting for math self-assessment, albeit with large heterogeneity. Exploratory analyses point to the importance of the subjective experience of mental effort in effort-selection paradigms. We discuss the implications of the small overall effect size for future research and the possibility to examine effort choice in everyday life.
Capuchin and rhesus monkeys show sunk cost effects in a psychomotor task
Authors: Watzek Julia , Brosnan Sarah
Published: April 2020

Human decision-making is often swayed by irrecoverable investments even though it should only be based on future – and not past – costs and benefits. Although this sunk cost effect is widely documented and can lead to devastating losses, the underlying psychological mechanisms are unclear. To tease apart possible explanations through a comparative approach, we assessed capuchin and rhesus monkeys’ susceptibility to sunk costs in a psychomotor task. Monkeys needed to track a moving target with a joystick-controlled cursor for variable durations. They could stop at any time, ending the trial without reward. To minimize the work required for a reward, monkeys should have always persisted for at least 1 second, but should have abandoned the trial if that did not yield a reward. Capuchin monkeys and especially rhesus macaques persisted to trial completion even when it was suboptimal, and were more likely to complete the trial the longer they had already tracked the target. These effects were less pronounced, although still present, when the change in expected tracking duration was signalled visually. These results show that sunk cost effects can arise in the absence of human-unique factors and may emerge, in part, because persisting can resolve uncertainty.
Kanze, Conley, & Higgins, 2019 Motivation of Mission Statements: How Regulatory Mode Influences Workplace Discrimination
Authors: Kanze Dana , Conley Mark Alexander , Higgins E. Tory
Published: April 2020

Despite concerted efforts to enforce ethical standards, transgressions continue to plague US corporations. This paper investigates whether the way in which a corporation pursues its goals can influence ethical violations, manifested as involvement in discrimination. We test this hypothesis among franchises, which employ a considerable amount of low-income workers adversely affected by discrimination. Drawing upon Regulatory Mode Theory, we perform a linguistic analysis of franchise mission statements to determine their degree of locomotion and assessment language. EEOC archival data for the past decade reveals that regulatory mode predicts franchise involvement in discrimination. Discriminatory behavior is associated with franchises whose mission statements motivate employees to embrace urgent action (locomotion mode) over thoughtful consideration (assessment mode). Two experiments demonstrate that participants exposed to high locomotion mission statements tend to disregard ethical standards due to their need for expediency, making significantly more discriminatory managerial decisions than those exposed to high assessment mission statements.
Inconsistencies in a study of the relationship between sleep disorders, mental health, and gaming behaviour in Africa
Authors: Etchells Peter James , Brown Nicholas John Laird , Heathers James , Przybylski Andrew K
Published: April 2020

In 2018, the World Health Organisation included Gaming Disorder as a new diagnostic category in the upcoming International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11; WHO, 2018). This decision was controversial among video game effects researchers (Van Rooij et al., 2018), as it was argued that methodologies and scientific standards in this area were of insufficient quality to determine a consensus about the nature of such a disorder. Further, most data collected on gaming and its health effects have been focused on North American, European, and Asian populations. Given that Africa has approximately half a billion mobile phone subscribers (Pendergrass et al., 2019) and a growing adolescent population of which an estimated 14% have mental health problems (Cortina et al., 2012), it is urgent that high-quality research is conducted that addresses the potential associations between video game use and mental health in this population. Etindele Sosso and colleagues (2020; hereafter referred to as the published paper) report the results of a large-scale study surveying players from nine African countries, a first as far as we are aware. We were surprised to read that almost one in three participants met the diagnostic criteria for gaming disorder, a rate ten times higher than meta-analytic estimates (Ferguson, Coulson and Barnett, 2011), and that 86.9% of observed variability in reported insomnia was accounted for by gaming behaviour. However, we are concerned that numerous issues in this article warrant further scrutiny, related to: (1) data provenance, (2) data inconsistencies, (3) data similarities, and (4) statistical errors. Together, these issues call into question the accuracy of the findings, and their implications for our understanding of gaming effects.
Affirmative action programs and network benefits in the number of board positions
Authors: Burzynska Katarzyna , Contreras Gabriela
Published: April 2020

Whereas governments are increasingly considering affirmative action programs to increase corporate board diversity, the effect of such programs can be superficial as they do not address the underlying problem, which is women’s access to and inclusion in relevant corporate networks. To address this issue, we study the relationship among affirmative action programs (binding gender quotas and non-binding gender targets), director networks, and the number of board positions individual directors hold given their gender. We use personal, professional, and network characteristics of 25,127 unique directors from 2,435 public firms in 32 European countries over the period of 2000 through 2017. We find that in the absence of affirmative action programs, women directors benefit less from their networks than men directors suggesting the existence of a gender gap in network benefits. After the passage of binding gender quotas, this gender gap in network benefits narrows between women and men directors. Overall, this research suggests that binding gender quotas make director networks a more salient tool for hiring women and may help in leveling the playing field in the way these networks are used for achieving top management positions.
Dyskryminacja pracowników wypełniających obowiązki rodzicielskie
Authors: Czerniak-Swędzioł Justyna
Published: April 2020

Dyskryminacja pracownika, który poza obowiązkami zawodowymi wypełnia również obowiązki rodzicielskie, pozostaje wysoce naganna. Praca zawodowa, jak i życie rodzinne, stanowią najważniejsze sfery życia, które pozostają ze sobą ściśle powiązane i wzajemnie od siebie zależne, a jednocześnie względem siebie silnie konkurencyjne. Ochrona pracownika-rodzica powinna dotyczyć nie tylko przyznania mu stosownych uprawień, ale przede wszystkim stwarzać skuteczne środki ochrony (prawne, poza-prawne) przed dyskryminacją. Jeżeli korzystanie z licznych uprawnień z tytułu rodzicielstwa staje się przyczyną nierównego traktowania, to dochodzi do niedozwolonej dyskryminacji ze względu na rodzicielstwo. Wybór życiowy, jakim pozostaje rodzicielstwo a w konsekwencji wypełnianie obowiązków z nim związanych może mieć znaczący wpływ na traktowanie i pozycję pracownika w środowisku pracy stąd też winno być ono – de lege ferenda – zawarte w treści kodeksowej zasady jako kryterium niedozwolonego różnicowania. Przy czym ochroną przed dyskryminacją z uwagi na rodzicielstwo objęci winni być nie tylko sami pracownicy, ale również kandydaci do pracy oraz byli pracownicy. Ustawodawca stworzył pracownikowi--rodzicowi kilka możliwość, z których ten może skorzystać w przypadku wystąpienia dyskryminacji, takich jak np. rozwiązanie umowy o prace bez wypowiedzenia (choć nie w każdym przypadku) czy roszczenia odszkodowawcze, ale przy faktycznej ochronie przed dyskryminacją wydają się być one jednak niewystarczające. Ochrona przed dyskryminacją pracowników–rodziców nie będzie kompletna, jeśli pozosta-nie oparta jedynie na rozwiązaniach kodeksowych. Bez konkretnych rozwiązań w zakresie obligatoryjnego wdrażania przez pracodawcę stosownych procedur anty-dyskryminacyjnych nie będzie możliwe zapewnienie pełnej i skutecznej ochrony. Jednakże, aby móc sięgnąć do kodeksowych środków ochrony, należy przede wszystkim uregulować je tak, aby nie był wątpliwy ich charakter prawny oraz zakres. I stąd też zmiana obowiązujących regulacji pozostaje absolutnie konieczna.
Atypical work as flexible work: The rise if labour instability in the Spanish labour market
Authors: Fabrellas Anna Ginès i
Published: April 2020

The aim of the article is to analyze the Spanish labour law reforms adopted in a period of 10 years and their impact in terms of increasing or decreasing employment precariousness; particularly, in terms of increasing or decreasing labour instability through the promotion of atypical forms of work. The paper concludes that the legislative efforts aimed at promoting permanent employment mainly through reductions on Social Security contributions on behalf of the employer have been offset with other reforms that promote and favour atypical forms of work, such as fixed-term, training, internship, part-time contracts, and self-employment. As a result, atypical forms of work have significantly increased and become flexible forms of work, thus, increasing labour instability.

Published: April 2020

Przedmiotem niniejszego opracowania jest analiza prawnej odpowiedzialności za mobbing. W artykule przedstawiono uwagi na temat charakteru prawnego, podstaw oraz zakresu odpowiedzialności prawnej z tytułu mobbingu. Punktem wyjścia dla prowadzonych rozważań stało się pytanie czy regulacja prawna zawarta w art. 943 Kodeksu pracy ma charakter całościowy. Dokonana w tym zakresie analiza pozwoliła na określenie roli przepisów Kodeksu cywilnego w dochodzeniu zadośćuczynienia oraz odszkodowania za mobbing. W opracowaniu niniejszym skomentowano również najnowszą nowelizację art. 943 § 4 k.p., która została wprowadzona do Kodeksu pracy poprzez Ustawę z dnia 16 maja 2019 r. o zmianie ustawy Kodeks pracy oraz niektórych innych ustaw (Dz.U. 2019 poz. 1043). Przeprowadzone rozważania stały się podstawą do sformułowania propozycji de lege ferenda.

Children’s agency: Developing a digital app to voice family narratives
Authors: Rogers Marg , Bird Jo
Published: April 2020

Children negotiate their lives through the narratives to which they are exposed in digital, print and oral form. The Rose’s Story app project drew on a philosophy that positions children as social agents. We used the social and contextual elements underlying children’s experiences with technology to develop a digital app for young children from the Australian military community by leveraging family narratives to portray children’s agency. Data to develop the app was taken from a 2017 study involving 2 to 5 year-old children from 11 Australian Defence Force families. Findings from the Rose’s Story app project can be applied practically to impact the well-being of children from military families, their parents, educators, and the broader community by increasing understanding and empathy. This article outlines effective ways to utilize a productive medium for children’s voices to be heard, as well as identifies potential barriers.
A Model for General Collective Intelligence
Authors: Williams Andy E
Published: April 2020

A General Collective Intelligence or GCI is a hypothetical platform that combines groups into a virtual collective cognition with a single well-defined thread of collective reasoning. While groups might have some innate general problem-solving ability described by a general collective intelligence factor (c), any collective intelligence software platform or methodology used as a decision-making tool by groups to increase problem-solving ability has narrow problem-solving ability where it is not able to address any problem in general. As opposed to such collective intelligence methodologies or software platforms, GCI has the potential to combine individual cognition into a single virtual collective cognition with general problem-solving ability, and also creates the potential to exponentially increase this general problem-solving ability.

A contribution to the hypothesis of nicotinic challenge as therapeutic option for COVID-19 patients
Authors: Manni Luigi , Tieri Paolo , Soligo Marzia
Published: April 2020

The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 represents an open and unresolved challenge for the global health system. The need to identify drugs that demonstrate efficacy in countering both the mechanisms of interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with host cells and to control the devastating inflammatory phenomena that characterize the late stages of viral infection, requires increasingly urgent answers. The biomedical research approach based on the repurposing of already approved drugs seems to be one of the most viable strategies in this struggle. In this work, by using a computational pharmacology approach and on the basis of what has been recently reported on the potential of nicotinic receptors in countering both phases of COVID-19, we propose a hypothesis aimed at widening the spectrum of pharmacological tools currently available to medical doctors. Our proposal specifically concerns the possibility of using tropisetron, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist at the same time positive allosteric interactor of the nicotinic alpha-7 receptor, in order to inhibit unexplored virus-host interaction and restore the physiological control mechanisms of the excessive inflammation caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Tourism has the potential to be developed into a leading sector in Belitung Regency. The development of tourism is indicated by the increasing number of tourists, both domestic and foreign tourists from 2015 to 2018 by 85.9% over 4 years. This research aims to determine the gap between the level of satisfaction and the importance of supporting components of tourism to tourists who visited tourist destinations in Belitung Regency. This research was quantitative research using Importance Performance Analysis. Primary data obtained by interview through the Likert scale questions. The subjects in this research were 400 domestic tourists and 400 foreign tourists. The subjects were selected using Slovin's Formula sampling techniques. Tourism support components consisting of prices, physical facilities (infrastructures), and guarantees (services) were used to determine tourist perceptions about the level of satisfaction and importance. The results of the research showed that domestic tourists were dissatisfied with component 1) guarantees (services) consisting of cultural attractions, public communication and services officers, as well as 2) physical facilities (infrastructures) consisting of souvenir galleries, toilets, environmental cleanliness, restaurant cleanliness, and safety facilities. While foreign tourists have a low level of satisfaction with the service of the officers and the public in terms of communicating in foreign languages, cultural attractions, and environmental cleanliness.
Fenomena Gerakan Hijrah di Kalangan Pemuda Muslim Sebagai Mode Sosial
Authors: Addini Agnia
Published: April 2020

Masifnya gerakan hijrah pada generasi muda hari ini merupakan fenomena baru dalam gerakan  islam di Indonesia. Dengan membawa visi untuk mengajak generasi muda lebih mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa , gerakan ini aktif melakukan dakwah dengan menggunakan pendekatan-pendekatan moderen yang memanfaatkan media sosial sebagai medium syiar. Meninggalkan cara-cara tradisionalis merupakan pilihan dalam merubah pola pikir ritual keagamaan hanya untuk kalangan paru baya. Namun Ditengah kepopuleran Hijrah dalam kalangan pemuda muslim dengan keberislamanya, perilaku ‘Hijrah’ sendiri seakan telah kehilangan makna substansi asalnya. Hijrah hanya dipandang sebagai peralihan secara simbolik. Sedangkan Hijrah pada dasarnya bukan hanya penguatan dalam nilai-nilai keagamaan, lebih jauh Hijrah memiliki misi reformasi pada setiap sendi-sendi kehidupan sosial, ekonomi maupun politik.

EXPERIENCE-TECHNOLOGIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION READINESS OF PEDAGOGICAL EMPLOYEES FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
Authors: Сорочан Тамара Михайлівна , Бондарчук Олена Іванівна , Оліфіра Лариса Миколаївна
Published: April 2020

The article features an innovative approach to the development of information readiness of pedagogical staff for the performance of their professional activities in full-time distance postgraduate learning. The essence and components (motivational, cognitive, operative and personal) of pedagogical staff's readiness for professional activity are characterized. Indicators of the distribution of teachers by levels of their information readiness (low, medium, high) for professional activity are given. The article also highlights methodology and results of the empirical study of the levels of pedagogical staff's information readiness for their professional activity, testifying to the insufficient level of development of such readiness with a considerable number of educators. It is shown that a high level of such readiness is peculiar to only one-tenth of the participated educators, who have deep and complete knowledge, skills and experience of work with information. They are characterized by developed personal qualities that provide active character and responsible attitude to the professional activity in the conditions of uncertainty. Other respondents have a partial (or nonexistence) awareness of possible negative consequences from the use of information, insufficient willingness to bear responsibility, as well as an inability to understand the regularities of information processes in the context of uncertainty, etc. The essence of experience technologies of the development of information readiness of pedagogical staff to professional activity in conditions of part-time distance teaching in postgraduate education is revealed. It also highlights the specific features of the implementation of experience technologies regarded as a tool for specialist training on the basis of practical experience and their application in the process of professional development. It emphasizes the effectiveness of experience technologies in non-linear forms of training, which create the conditions for learners to make a conscious choice of learning content and forms of their own professional development.

Published: April 2020

O objetivo do trabalho é avaliar a gestão e o gerenciamento de resíduos dentro de duas empresas do setor de vestuário, na cidade de Belém, estado do Pará, Região Norte do Brasil. Por meio do conceito de Economia Circular que visa aumentar a vida útil do produto, reutilizando e reciclando matérias-primas depois de consumidas, busca-se compreender o processo de geração dos resíduos de tecido, bem como sua coleta e a destinação final, propondo melhorias ao processo existente. As informações foram obtidas junto aos gerentes e funcionários das empresas, por meio de questionário e de observação in loco. Analisou-se, principalmente, os tipos de fibras têxteis utilizados na fabricação, a quantidade de resíduos produzidos e o gerenciamento dos resíduos, além das informações de caracterização do empreendimento. Os resultados revelam que a empresa de maior porte se adequa aos princípios da EC, ressaltando, a inovação em têxteis desfibrados. A empresa local está em desacordo com as normas básicas de conduta relacionadas a legislação ambiental, necessitando de um Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos Sólidos que possibilite a reutilização do resíduo, a fim de diminuir seus custos de produção, pois não existe fábrica de reciclagem têxtil em Belém. Conclui-se que a gestão e o gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos são fundamentais para destinação e disposição final ambientalmente adequados e, especificamente, no setor industrial têxtil, a circularidade pode gerar melhor eficiência produtiva.

Soil-transmitted helminths and Schistosoma haematobium affect more than 3 billion people globally and mainly occur in sub-Saharan Africa. The present study assessed the overall infection status of a 1716-student cohort of school-children in Zanzibar and applied mass drug administration (MDA) to the cohort from 2007 to 2009. Schools in Pemba, Zanzibar, had a much higher prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth infections than those in Unguja, and the Chaani, Ghana, and Machui schools of Unguja exhibited high S. haematobium infection rates. The MDA program only partially controlled parasite infections, owing to high rates of re-infection. The infection rate of S. haematobium across all 10 schools, for example, was only reduced by 1.8%, and even this change not significant, even though the S. haematobiuminfection rates of the Chaani and Mzambarauni schools were significantly reduced from 64.4 and 23.4%, respectively, at the first screening, to 7.3 and 2.3% at the last screening. The overall infection rate of Ascaris lumbricoides was reduced from 36.0% at the first screening to 22.6% at the last screening. However, the infection rates for both Trichuris trichiuraand hookworm were generally unaffected by MDA. In the future, parasite control programs should involve strategically designed MDA schedules and holistic intervention (e.g., sanitation improvement, hygiene behavior changes, and control of intermediated hosts).

Discovered in 2013, the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is an emerging amphibian pathogen that causes ulcerative skin lesions and multifocal erosion. A closely related pathogen, B. dendrobatidis (Bd), has devastated amphibian populations worldwide, suggesting that Bsal poses a significant threat to global salamander biodiversity. To expedite research into this emerging threat, we seek to standardize protocols across the field so that results of laboratory studies are reproducible and comparable. We have collated data and experience from multiple labs to standardize culturing practices of Bsal. Here we outline common culture practices including a medium for standardized Bsal growth, standard culturing protocols, and a method for isolating Bsal from infected tissue.

Pemaknaan terhadap suatu kata atau realita, pada dasarnya, bergantung pada konteks tertentu.Â Latar belakang sosial, ekonomi, politik, budaya, serta ideologi Â mempengaruhi interpretasi pada realita. TulisanÂ ini bertujuan untuk memberikan sudut pandang yang berbeda pada narasi terorisme yang selama ini identik dengan ekstremisme agama. Narasi mengenaiÂ terorisme masih didominasi oleh entitas yang memiliki kekuatan, umumnya olehÂ negara.Â Sikap nasionalisme, yang selama ini juga digaungkan dan diusung oleh negara, ternyata memiliki pengaruh dalam aksi terorisme. Istilah balkanisasi, yang bersumber dari perpecahan negara-bangsa di Semenanjung Balkan, juga digunakan sebagai model untuk menanamkan nasionalisme. Dikupas dengan hermeneutika radikal, tulisan ini akan menunjukkan bahwa tindakan terorisme dapat dilakukan melalui penggunaan istilah balkanisasi yang dibingkai dalam narasi nasionalisme.KATA-KATA KUNCI: balkanisasi, nasionalisme, terorisme, hermeneutika radikal

Authors: Putra Andreas Maurenis
Published: April 2020

Artikel ini merupakan sebuah eksplorasi untuk menemukan pesan-pesan pembebasan bagi kaum perempuan berdasarkan cerita rakyat, â€œJaka Tarub dan Tujuh Bidadari.â€ Meskipun bukan merupakan telaah yang sempurna tetapi sangat cukup untuk memberi pemahaman tentang polemik peradaban, yang senantiasa menjadi topik hangat untuk diperbincangkan. Masalah gender adalah masalah manusia global dan lokal. Masalah ini terus-menerus diperdebatkan dan diperbincangkan terutama oleh kaum perempuan yang menuntut penghargaan atas kualitas manusia secara seimbang. Legenda â€œJaka Tarub dan Tujuh Bidadariâ€ menjadi kunci untuk membedah konteks masyarakat dulu dan sekarang tentang masifnya persoalan gender (terutama karena kuatnya budaya patriarki) yang kemudian menyulut aneka bentuk gerakan perempuan untuk merekonstruksi prinsip keseimbangan,Â karena pada dasarnya, manusia adalah citra Allah. Menggunakan metode analisis teks, artikel ini menyajikan sebuah cara pandang baru bahwa perempuan, sebagaimana laki-laki, berhak mengekspresikan talenta-talentanya dalam membangun dunia menjadi lebih baik.KATA-KATA KUNCI: legenda, patriarki, perempuan, egaliter, kerja sama.

Authors: Chavarria-Pallarco Norman A.
Published: April 2020

La investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar si la aplicación del modelo holandés Van Hiele facilita el avance de los niveles de razonamiento geométrico de triángulos en los estudiantes del sexto ciclo de educación básica regular. El tipo de investigación fue aplicada, empleando como métodos específicos: el experimental, el estadístico y el hipotético deductivo; con un diseño preexperimental, con un solo grupo, conformado por 29 estudiantes de la IE “César Vallejo Mendoza” del centro poblado de Viñas, distrito de Acobambilla, provincia y región de Huancavelica a quienes se aplicó una prueba de entrada y otra de salida. El muestreo no probabilístico intencional, el procesamiento y análisis de los resultados se realizó aplicando la estadística, asimismo para la contrastación de las hipótesis se empleó la “t de student”. Como resultado obtuvimos que la aplicación del modelo de Van Hiele facilitó avanzar en el nivel de razonamiento geométrico (visualización, análisis y clasificación), debido a que la “t de student” calculada fue -16, 632 por lo que se rechazó la hipótesis nula, concluyéndose que sí existe una diferencia significativa en las medias de los grados de adquisición del nivel de razonamiento geométrico de triángulos antes y después de la aplicación del modelo Van Hiele.

In streamlining and making services efficiently to the community the local government is demanded to be able to make service innovations that support the improvement of the quality of services to the community. Service quality relates to products, services, people, processes and the environment that can meet the needs of those who receive these services. The aim of current research is investigating the antecedents of Green Society Satisfaction (GSS) mediated by Collaborative Good Government Practices. Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS is deployed to analyze the data. Data collecting method is survey with distributing questionnaires. A large number of sample is required, where the society in pontianak as the population. Some criterions are designed in order to obtain wanted samples. Purposed sampling is used with non-purposive sampling technique. Cronbach’s Alpha values, Regression Weights, Absolute, Incremental, Parsimony Fit Measurements, and Variables, Standardized Loading, α, Error, CR and EVA are within rule of thumbs. The research findings demonstrated that all proposed hypotheses are accepted. Reliability Advantages, Responsiveness Advantages, Assurance Capability, Empathy and Tangibles respectively show the positive significant as the antecedent of Green Society Satisfaction mediated by Collaborative Good Government Practices.

Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) is a fish that is gaining ground in cultivation and sales because of its nutritional properties: high protein content, vitamins, and minerals with few unhealthy saturated fats as in red meats. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of cooking on the chemical composition, Aw, and pH, in addition to the electrophoretic, and fatty acid profile of the Tilapia using an electric oven, microwave and steaming as cooking methods. The results showed that the nutritional components of Tilapia changed significantly (p<0.05) at two temperatures and at two potencies used. Microwave and steaming preserved better the proteins in the Tilapia after its cooking. Electrophoresis results showed a decrease in intensity and number of bands depending on the type of treatment to which the meat was subjected. On the other hand, the electric oven method at 2 temperatures resulted with the highest increase in essential fatty acids (45% and 36%), with a slight decrease in the ω-6 family, because of a probable hydrolysis or oxidation of the same. The steam cooking showed a slight increase in essential fatty acids, but microwave oven preserved better the proteins, indicating that this could be a good method for cooking Tilapia.
Parametrized Analysis and Multi-Objective Optimization of Supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) Power Cycles Coupled with Parabolic Trough Collectors

Published: April 2020

Supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) Brayton cycles have become an effective way in utilizing solar energy, considering their advantages. The presented research discusses a parametrized analysis and systematic comparison of three S-CO2 power cycles coupled with parabolic trough collectors. The effects of turbine inlet temperature and pressure, compressor inlet temperature, and pressure on specific work, overall efficiency, and cost of core equipment of different S-CO2 Brayton cycles are discussed. Then, the two performance criteria, including specific work and cost of core equipment, are compared, simultaneously, between different S-CO2 cycle layouts after gaining the Pareto sets from multi-objective optimizations using genetic algorithm. The results suggest that the simple recuperation cycle layout shows more excellent performance than the intercooling cycle layout and the recompression cycle layout in terms of cost, while the advantage in specific work of the intercooling cycle layout and the recompression cycle layout is not obvious. This study can be useful in selecting cycle layout using solar energy by the parabolic trough solar collector when there are requirements for the specific work and the cost of core equipment. Moreover, high turbine inlet temperature is recommended for the S-CO2 Brayton cycle using solar energy.

Published: April 2020

MacroH2A histone variants have functions in differentiation, somatic cell reprogramming and cancer. However, at present, it is not clear how macroH2As affect gene regulation to exert these functions. We have parted from the initial observation that loss of total macroH2A1 led to a change in the morphology of murine myotubes differentiated ex vivo. The fusion of myoblasts to myotubes is a key process in embryonic myogenesis and highly relevant for muscle regeneration after acute or chronic injury. We have focused on this physiological process, to investigate the functions of the two splice isoforms of macroH2A1. Individual perturbation of the two isoforms in myotubes forming in vitro from myogenic C2C12 cells showed an opposing phenotype, with macroH2A1.1 enhancing, and macroH2A1.2 reducing, fusion. Differential regulation of a subset of fusion-related genes encoding components of the extracellular matrix and cell surface receptors for adhesion correlated with these phenotypes. We describe, for the first time, splice isoform-specific phenotypes for the histone variant macroH2A1 in a physiologic process and provide evidence for a novel underlying molecular mechanism of gene regulation.

Published: April 2020

The literature on burnout syndrome among Penitentiary Police Officers (PPOs) is still rather scarce, and there are no analyses on the protective factors that can prevent these workers from the dangerous effect of burnout, with respect to the weakening of the reasons for living and de-humanization. This study aimed to examine the relationships between burnout, protective factors against weakening of the reasons for living and not desiring to die and the role of de-humanisation, utilising the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI); the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL); the Testoni Death Representation Scale (TDRS); and the Human Traits Attribution Scale (HTAS), involving 86 PPOs in a North Italy prison. Results showed the presence of a high level of burnout in the group of participants. In addition, dehumanization of prisoners, which is considered a factor that could help in managing other health professional stress situations, does not reduce the level of burnout.
