Authors: Aiolfi Simone
Published: February 2023

The promotion of responsible behavior is one of the main areas of nudging and, more recently, digital nudging. Technologies can enable new forms of horizontal and vertical relationships in a pre-competitive context where negotiating perspectives are overcome by a collective benefit that can generate reputational effects. In this case, the role of Institutions is indispensable, especially in the FMCG sector where there is high intrabrand-competition. Starting from these considerations, the paper explores the potential organizational architectures in the topic of sustainable digital nudging through a critical review of the main national and international initiatives.

"Exosomes are endosome-derived nanovesicles involved in cellular communication. They are natural nanocarriers secreted by various cells, making them suitable candidates for diverse drug delivery and therapeutic applications from a material standpoint. They have a phospholipid bilayer decorated with functional molecules and an enclosed parental matrix, which has attracted interest in developing designer/hybrid engineered exosome nanocarriers. The structural versatility of exosomes allows the modification of their original configuration using various methods, including genetic engineering, chemical procedures, physical techniques, and microfluidic technology, to load exosomes with additional cargo for expanded biomedical applications. Exosomes show enormous potential for overcoming the limitations of conventional nanoparticle-based techniques in targeted therapy. This review highlights the exosome sources, characteristics, state of the art in the field of hybrid exosomes, exosome-like nanovesicles and engineered exosomes as potential cargo delivery vehicles for therapeutic applications" Mondal 2023, Journal of Controlled Release, 2023, 353, pp. 1127–1149

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe and disabling disease, a brain disorder characterized by chaotic thoughts, delusions, delusions, hallucinations and strange or catatonic behavior. One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is sensory perception disorder, namely hallucinations which are typical of mental disorders in individuals characterized by changes in sensory perception, by feeling false sensations in the form of sounds (hearing), sight, taste, touch, or smell. Mental disorders are syndromes or patterns of behavior that are clinically significant that are associated with distress or suffering and pose obstacles to one or more functions of human life. One that includes mental disorders is schizophrenia. Hallucinations are false perceptual distortions that occur in maladaptive neurobiological responses, sufferers actually experience sensory distortions as real things and respond accordingly. Factors that can influence the recurrence of schizophrenic patients with hallucinations include high family emotional expressions, lack of family knowledge, availability of health services, family income and medication adherence in schizophrenic patients. psychiatric nursing care to Tn.

Mentorship can be part of the solution to developing a more diverse global scientific workforce, but robust longitudinal evidence is limited. Developmental mentor network theory can advance our understanding of the impact of a wide range of mentors across social contexts by distinguishing between the content of mentorship support (eg career support) and the structural characteristics of an individual’s mentor network (eg density of connections among mentors). We tested the influence of mentor network characteristics on longitudinal social integration into earth and environmental sciences, as indicated by science identity development (a key indicator of social integration) and STEM graduate school applications, in a sample of 233 undergraduate women at 9 universities in the U.S. Findings indicate that belonging to close-knit, larger, and skill-focused mentorship networks creates a “sticky web” of social connections, providing information and resources that increase retention of college women in the earth and environmental sciences.

Published: February 2023

As the level of passenger demand in rail transit systems increases, major railway stations in urban centres face serious capacity issues. Both analytical and simulation methods have been used to analyze complex station areas; however, prior efforts have only focused on either train or pedestrian movements with over-simplified assumptions that do not properly capture the impact of their interaction on capacity. This study applies an integrated crowd and transit simulation platform – Nexus – to simultaneously study the impact of pedestrian and train movements on the system performance of a complex railway station. Unlike other methods such as sequential simulation methods, the integrated simulation platform permits linkage between commercial grade simulators. Instead of treating each simulator separately, this integrated method enables detailed modelling of how the train and crowd kinematics interact at station platforms. Such integration aims to explore the interactive effect on both types of movement and enable performance analysis possible only through this combination. To validate the model, a case study is performed on Toronto’s Union Station. Extensive data were collected, processed and input into railway and pedestrian models constructed using OpenTrack and MassMotion, respectively, and integrated via Nexus. Examining scenarios of increased levels of train and passenger volumes, a 9\% drop in on-time performance of train operation is observed, while the level of crowding experienced by passengers on the platform has been significantly deteriorated. Both length and variation of dwell time due to pedestrian movement are recognized as the main factors of performance deterioration, especially when the system approaches capacity. The simulation model produces estimates of the practical trackside capacity of the station and associated platform crowding levels, and helps identify locations where passengers experience severe overcrowding, which are not easily obtainable from mathematical models.

Authors: Dağbaşı Gürkan , Özcan Murat , Demir Yasin Murat
Published: February 2023

Although the history of translation is almost as old as the history of humankind, it was not until the second half of the twentieth century that translation studies were recognized as an independent discipline. Perhaps due to this fact, translation and interpreting programs at the higher education level started to be introduced in Turkey in the 1980s. These programs were English translation and interpreting programs. The first program to train Arabic translators and interpreters was opened at Kırıkkale University in 2011 and remained the only program in its field until 2017. Between 2017 and 2023, nine more Arabic translation and interpreting programs, six at public universities and three at private universities, started actively admitting students. In this study, Arabic translation and interpreting programs in Turkey are examined from various angles. At the end of the study, it was concluded that the demand for the departments at state universities was higher, the students with the highest scores preferred Istanbul University. Interpreter and translator students scored an average of forty-two points in the eighty-question foreign language exam and there were an average of 3.8 faculty members in these programs. Eight faculty members work in these programs and the students who are admitted to them are mostly placed in universities in their home cities. The total capacity of the programs is sufficient and, although there is no unity in the curriculum of the programs, similar courses are offered in different classes. The programs focus on language skills for the first two years and, subsequently, focus on translation-oriented courses. At the end of the study, we make some suggestions for translation and interpreting programs by making associations with the findings of the related literature.

Published: February 2023

Bilingual children have unique needs for school readiness as they navigate between two languages and cultures. A supportive home language environment, where children are frequently exposed to language through conversation and reading, can positively impact their language development and prepare them for school. However, current conversational agents and e-books designed for children do not typically take into account the cultural and linguistic needs of bilingual children and do not involve parents. This project presents the development of a bilingual conversational agent and accompanying e-book, designed to support parent-child interactions and promote language development for linguistic minority children. Results from a user study indicate that the bilingual agent effectively engages children verbally and encourages parental involvement in reading processes. The study also provides design insights for creating conversational agents for bilingual children.

Published: February 2023

Great Salt Lake hosts an ecosystem that is critical to migratory birds and international aquaculture, yet it is currently threatened by falling lake elevation and high lakewater salinity resulting from water diversions in the upstream watershed and the enduring megadrought in the western United States. Microbialite reefs underpin the ecosystem, hosting a surface microbial community that is estimated to contribute 30% of the lake’s primary productivity. We monitored exposure, desiccation, and bleaching over time in an area of microbialite reef. During this period, lake elevation fell by 1.8 m, and salinity increased from 11.0% to 19.5% in open-water portions of the outer reef, reaching halite saturation in hydrologically closed regions. When exposed, microbialite bleaching was rapid, driven by a decrease in surface chlorophyll. Bleached microbialites are not necessarily dead, however, with communities persisting beneath microbialite surfaces for several months of exposure and desiccation. However, superficial losses in the mat community resulted in enhanced microbialite weathering. In addition, we conducted microbialite community recovery experiments by incubating bleached microbialite pieces in lakewater and measuring changes in extractable pigments and DNA over time. We observed rapid recovery at salinities ≤ 17%, approaching 50% recovery within 40 days. 16S and 18S rRNA gene sequencing of extracted DNA indicated that recovery was driven by initial seeding from lakewater. At higher salinity levels, recovery occurred more slowly and may reflect accumulation and preservation of lake material in halite crusts vs. true recovery. Our results indicate that increased water input should be prioritized in order to return the lake to an elevation that submerges microbialite reefs and lowers salinity levels. Without quick action to reverse diversions in the watershed, loss of pelagic microbial community members due to sustained high salinity could prevent the recovery of the ecosystem-critical microbialite surface communities in Great Salt Lake.
The emergence of grammatical structure from inter-predictability
Authors: Mansfield John , Kemp Charles
Published: February 2023

Recent research has shown that words or morphemes that are closer to each other in linear order tend to have higher statistical inter-predictability, measured as mutual information. We offer an explanation for this in terms of holistic chunking of inter-predictable symbols, which provides an efficiency gain in the retrieval of stored symbols to encode a message. Inter-predictable chunking then interacts with structural priming to produce the schematic linear structures that are characteristic of both syntax and morphology. We thus argue that predictability and efficiency play a key role in the emergence of grammatical structure, going beyond previous information-theoretic analyses of natural language. In this paper we articulate some fundamental principles of chunking and linearisation, and use a simple computational implementation to show that these are sufficient to produce natural-language-like structures, using NP-internal ordering as a case study.
Incorporating Causal Inference Perspectives into Psychoneuroimmunology: A Simulation Study Highlighting Concerns about Controlling for Adiposity in Immunopsychiatry
Authors: Moriarity Daniel P. , Mengelkoch Summer , Slavich George M.
Published: February 2023

Psychoneuroimmunology and immunopsychiatry are quickly approaching a critical point where the clinical translatability of our promising evidence base will be tested. To maximize our chances for translational success, we believe researchers must adopt causal inference techniques that augment the causal relevance of estimates given theorized causal structures. To illustrate the utility of incorporating causal inference perspectives into psychoneuroimmunological research, we applied the use of directed acyclic graphs and a combination of empirical and simulated data to demonstrate the consequences of controlling for adiposity when testing the hypothesized association between inflammation and depression under the plausible causal structure of increases in adipose tissue leading to increased inflammation that in turn promotes depression. Effect size estimates were pulled from a dataset combining the Midlife in the United States 2 (MIDUS-2) and MIDUS Refresher datasets. Data were extracted and then used to simulate data reflecting an adiposity -> inflammation -> depression causal structure. Next, a Monte Carlo simulation study with 1,000 iterations and three sample size scenarios (N=100, 250, and 500) was conducted testing whether controlling for adiposity when estimating the relation between inflammation and depression influenced the precision of this estimate. Across all three sample size scenarios controlling for adiposity reduced precision of the inflammation depression estimate, highlighting the importance of incorporating causal inference approaches into psychoneuroimmunological research.

Published: February 2023

In visual working memory (VWM) tasks, participants’ performances can be improved through the use of dimension-based retro-cues, which direct internal attention to prioritize a particular dimension (e.g., color or orientation) of VWM representations even after the stimuli disappear. This phenomenon is known as the dimension-based retro-cue benefit (RCB). The present study investigates whether sustained attention is required for the dimension-based RCB by inserting interference or interruption between the retro-cue and the test array to distract attention. We tested the effects of perceptual interference or cognitive interruption on dimension-based RCB when the interference (Experiments 1 and 2 with masks) or interruption (Experiments 3 and 4 with an odd-even task) occurred concurrently with the stages for the maintenance of prioritized information (long cue-and-interference/interruption interstimulus interval, e.g., Experiments 1 and 3) or the deployment of attention (short cue-and-interference/interruption interstimulus interval, e.g., Experiments 2 and 4). Our results demonstrate that perceptual interference or cognitive interruption attenuates the dimension-based RCB. These findings suggest that sustained attention is necessary for the effective prioritization of a specific dimension of VWM representations.
Need and Capacity of Elected Women in Local Government in Nepal
Authors: Sijapati Dipendra Bikram
Published: February 2023

The article is based on the local elections in 2017 which is a historic milestone for the country. Local elections were held after almost two decades. They became a key vessel for acting upon the Constitutional obligation toward gender and social inclusion in the government and ending the political impasse that beset the country for many years. The article focuses on two objectives: first to identify the priorities of local elected women's needs on capacity and skills and to identify the interventions that could be designed to help support the elected women in the different local governments of Jhapa and Lalitpur Districts. The paper is based on descriptive and analytical types of research design as well as nature of data both primary and secondary sources. It has used both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and deductive and inductive approaches to the analysis of the data. Information is gathered and assessed on the basis of capacity and skills of elected women. The data are analysed using the Excel spread program on the computer and are calculated in frequency distribution and percentage. Data are carefully analysed and interpreted for generalization. Gender inclusion in local government is gradually increasing in development sector of local areas. The findings and analysis of the study are largely indicative given that the study sample is limited but more so because the present situation on the ground is dynamic. Yet, it cannot be denied that there is palpable excitement and optimism amongst elected women representatives to be active participants in Nepal’s evolving governance structures. Tempering the optimism with a realistic assessment of the challenges and work on hand is needed. Building capacities and a supportive environment for women's leadership in local governance in the context of federalism in Nepal is needed.
Measurement of Bankariya Identity
Authors: Gyanwali Gokarna Prasad
Published: February 2023

Ethnic identity is a concept that is based on the feeling of the community, cultural heritage, traditional values and beliefs, ritual practices, mother tongue, specific geographical territory, and religion and can be measured by using different techniques and methods. Anthropologists and identity specialists developed various methods for the measurement of ethnic identity. This research examined the newly developed ethnic identity measures of the Ethnic Identity Scale (EIS),the Multi-group Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), and the revised (MEIM-R) from anthropological perspectives. Exploration, commitment, and affiliation are the major factors for the measurement of identity and this article has used these factors. Data gathered from the field of Bankariya habitats in Dhading district were analyzed for identity measurement. For the calculation of Bankariya's identity, only 65 respondents out of 79 were selected. Most of them have identity feelings and pride in their ethnic group. More than 90 percent of Bankariya people have actively participated in their cultural practices but only 3 percent of people are active in ethnic organizations. The research also explores the demographic and geographic features of the Bankariya people, the theoretical framework of identity, and measuring techniques.

Published: February 2023

Varieties of social artifacts affect attitudes of adolescent girls towards abortion and abortion services in Nepal. Prevalence of Hindu religious beliefs and traditional socio-cultural norms and values in the existing Nepalese societies, people feel much uncomfortable in the performance of abortion among adolescents. This study explores the attitude of adolescent girl students in our community schools regarding the aforementioned services. The study mainly bases on primary data gained from 250 adolescent girl students of our community schools. It also shows the picture regarding attitude towards abortion and its services of the adolescent's girl students. For such a multi-cultural and religious nation, the traditional values, norms and beliefs have been affecting to perform the services. The result exhibits that almost 61 percent of the respondents trust the existing socio-cultural norms and values that affect the attitude towards abortion and its services, while 57 percent of them believe religious norms and beliefs affect the services. In the same way, only 43 percent of the respondents show confidence in prevailing abortion facilities. This shows that majority of the respondents do not believe on the existing abortion services. A large number of the participants respond that post abortion care is necessary after performing abortion. However, about 74 percent of the respondents believe unnecessary pregnancies should be terminated adopting safety measures rather than letting them to give birth. Resultantly, this study leads us, due to the effects of modernization, globalization and mechanization; adolescent girls in Nepal are in the growing tendency to take abortion performances positively. For this, various activities like awareness campaign, curricula, training and seminar, and media campaign to the marginalized and underprivileged sections work for the decrease of abortion ignorance.

La competencia entre Estados Unidos y China en el ámbito comercial, tecnológico y geopolítico tiene repercusiones globales. América Latina, a pesar de una creciente irrelevancia, también es una arena donde estas potencias están compitiendo. Argentina no ha quedado afuera de esta disyuntiva y al igual que otros países de la región ha intentado mantener un equilibrio entre ambas potencias, por la importancia que cada una reviste: Estados Unidos en lo financiero y China tanto en lo comercial como en materia de inversiones. En este artículo, a través de un repaso teórico, análisis de documentos oficiales y entrevistas, se analiza la política exterior de Alberto Fernández hacia China en el contexto de las divergencias entre ambos Estados. Concluimos que Argentina ha intentado de manera continua un equilibrio, aunque no implica equidistancia, ante una situación en donde los gobiernos aún no han sido presionados a optar.

En el marco de la creciente escalada en el estrecho de Taiwán y en medio de la tensión provocada por dinámicas que buscan desafiar el orden existente, Paraguay, como el único país sudamericano y uno de los pocos Estados a nivel global que reconoce en la actualidad a la República de China (Taiwán) por sobre la República Popular China (RPC), percibe desde el otro lado del mundo un conflicto que no es ajeno a él. Este contexto hace oportuno el análisis del relacionamiento de Paraguay con Taiwán y los elementos que determinan su reconocimiento actual, lo que debe ser realizado mediante la identificación de los factores exógenos y endógenos que rigen esta vinculación. Esto permite a su vez, dilucidar cuál es la situación que podría presentarse en un futuro.
El lugar de Venezuela en las restricciones chino-estadounidenses: una mirada desde la prensa española en el marco de la invasión rusa a Ucrania
Authors:   Universidad Pontificia de Comillas, Alonso Peláez Iván Luis
Published: February 2023

El artículo hace un recorrido histórico para conocer cuál ha sido el papel de Venezuela en el marco de las relaciones chino-estadounidenses, especialmente los cambios ocurridos a partir de 1999 con los gobiernos de Hugo Chávez y Nicolás Maduro. Acorde con lo descrito por la abundante bibliografía sobre el tema, se constata que se ha producido un cambio de roles en el que China progresivamente ha ido ocupando en Venezuela el espacio comercial preferente que tradicionalmente había ostentado Estados Unidos desde el restablecimiento de la Democracia en 1958. A través de un análisis informativo utilizando como fuente un grupo de textos periodísticos publicados en los seis principales diarios de circulación nacional editados en España, se valora cómo la invasión rusa a Ucrania promueve un todavía incipiente deshielo en el curso de las sanciones impuestas por Washington a la industria petrolera venezolana.

Indonesia's decision in the procurement of the 4.5th generation Rafale fighter jets was agreed to replace the obsolete aircraft Hawk 109/209 and grounded F-5. The selection of Rafale was not only based on the defense relationship between Indonesia and France that had existed for a very long time but also based on the foreign policy adopted by Indonesia. The free and active foreign policy is shown by several defense equipment owned by Indonesia, not only from a particular country. The government's considerations in choosing the Rafale to strengthen the TNI and cooperation in the defense sector with France include: Advantages of the Rafale Fighter Jet, Long-Term Investment in Indonesian Alutsista, Development of Defense Industry Cooperation, Budget Efficiency, Aspects of Defense and Political Strategy, and Free Guarantee from CAATSA Sanctions. In this case, it is expected that Indonesia will not rely on the procurement of defense equipment from abroad, and the implementation of the Transfer of Technology, Local Content and Offsets on Rafale fighter jets can run as expected, therefore a strategy is needed in accelerating defense acquisition, where there are three strategies for technological development and the defense industry to improve significantly.
