Investigating the Impact of Social Media Use on Adolescent Mental Health
Authors: Mohamed Najmo
Published: March 2024

The preprint "Investigating the Impact of Social Media Use on Adolescent Mental Health" explores the intricate relationships that exist between teenage social media use and psychological health. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys, the study seeks to clarify the connection between different aspects of teenage social media use and markers of mental health. The study looks at how often, for how long, and what kind of interactions teenagers have on social media and how these relate to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. The study aims to provide a thorough understanding of how various aspects of social media use may influence teenage mental health outcomes by analyzing both quantitative data, such as survey responses, and qualitative insights obtained through interviews. Initial research indicates fascinating correlations between particular social media usage patterns and mental health markers. These preliminary findings lay the groundwork for future research, inspiring scientists to examine more closely the underlying processes and putative causes of the associations between teenage social media use and mental health. Beyond scholarly research, the study's implications are important for parents, educators, and legislators who are worried about how social media affects teenage development. The research adds to a deeper comprehension of the opportunities and challenges posed by digital technologies in modern society by clarifying the complex relationship between social media use and mental health outcomes.
Discrediting emotions but not fluency reduces the persuasive power of repetition
Authors: Loev Slawa , Deroy Ophelia , Velasco Pablo Fernandez , Sulik Justin
Published: March 2024

People judge repeated statements to be true more often than new ones. What explains this repetition effect? The dominant explanation is that repeated statements are processed faster than new ones and that this higher processing fluency disposes people to believe repeated statements. In a pre-registered study, we tested two interventions to reduce the persuasive power of repetition based on two different assumptions about how processing fluency may influence people’s judgement: On the one hand, objective processing fluency might lead to a subjective experience of fluency (“subjective fluency”) which makes the repeated statement more plausible. On the other hand, processing fluency is associated with positive affect, which might make the statement seem more acceptable. We asked participants to judge the truth of statements, half of which they had previously seen, and provided them with one of two generic messages—one discrediting their impression of fluency, the other discrediting their positive affect. The second message, but not the first, effectively reduced people’s tendency to judge repeated statements more often as true. Furthermore, examining subject-specific effects, we find that participants vary in the extent to which they show any repetition effect. Using mediation analysis and response time as a measure of processing fluency, we find that overall, processing fluency only weakly explains the persuasive power of repetition. Our results suggest reframing affective responses as a new strategy against repetition-based manipulation.
Unbundling Digital Media Literacy Tips: Results from Two Experiments
Authors: Guess Andrew Markus , McGregor Shannon , Pennycook Gordon , Rand David Gertler
Published: March 2024

Recent studies have found promising evidence that lightweight, scalable tips promoting digital media literacy can improve the overall accuracy of social media users’ sharing intentions and improve their ability to determine the accuracy of true versus false headlines. However, existing research is designed to test entire bundles of such tips, which limits our practical knowledge about whether some kinds of tips are more effective than others and hinders our ability to theorize about mechanisms. We address this limitation by designing experiments in which we randomly assign participants to receive one or more of 10 possible tips (or none, in a pure control group) and then indicate the extent to which they either believe or would share a series of social media posts. We find that assignment to nearly any of the tips improves sharing, but only tips drawing attention to the posts’ source improved accuracy discernment (because source was highly diagnostic of accuracy in our stimulus set). Sharing intent appears to be more malleable than belief, consistent with the idea that fickle processes like attention play an important role in driving this behavior.

Agar is a polysaccharide extracted mainly from Gracilaria. Agar is widely used in the food industry as a viscous agent, thickness, emulsifier or food stabiliser. The presence of NaCl, CaCl2 or sucrose influences in sol-gel transition, viscosity of the agar solution or gel strength of the agar. Agar forms a gel at high concentration or lower one if there is the presence of NaCl, CaCl2 or sucrose. Gelling temperature (Tg) of agar solution at 0.2 wt% increasing at 36, 36 or 38°C upon addition of 300 mM NaCl, 100 mM CaCl2, or 30% sucrose, respectively. The viscosity of the 0.2% agar solution increased insignificantly when the ionic strength was below 100 mM, but increased sharply above 100 mM. The gel strength increases with added NaCl, CaCl2 up to 100 mM, 30 mM, respectively; then they drop slightly at higher concentrations of NaCl, CaCl2. Meanwhile, the viscosity of agar solution only increases at sucrose concentrations above 10%. Gel strength increased with increasing sucrose concentration, being 1.2 to 1.8 times higher if 30% sucrose was added.

Authors: Hassan Tuka , Muthanna Saadi Farhan
Published: March 2024

3-coumarin/chalcone B1/B2/B3 hybrids served as malleable antecedents for the development of novel bioactive pharmacophores. In this study, the matching coumarin-chalcones hybrid was obtained from 3-acetylcoumarin (comp A) via condensation with several aromatic aldehydes in ethanolic piperidine solution. To further modify these hybrids, we reacted them with thiourea in the presence of base in ethanol, yielding pyrimidine derivatives C1, C2, and C3. Their chemical characteristics and spectroscopic data were used to characterize the newly synthesized heterocyles. The antibacterial efficacy of all freshly produced compounds was tested. Compound (C3) was shown to have the highest antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria, whereas compound (C2) displayed a moderate antibacterial activity and compound C1 had low activity. C1,C2,C3 were shown  antifungal activity as compared to fluconazole that showed antifungal efficacy against C. ablicans.

Authors: Maurya Sandhya , Saxena Abhishek , Pate Anju
Published: March 2024

The efficacy of three plant-based natural coagulants, namely papaya seed powder, banana peel powder, and lemon peel powder, was evaluated in this study for their ability to remove high electric conductivity turbidity, hardness, fluoride, and nitrate from surface water. The experiments were conducted at room temperature without any adjustment to the initial pH. The results indicated that banana peel powder exhibited the highest turbidity removal rate, achieving 55.6% removal when used at a dosage of 0.4 g/L. Furthermore, banana peel powder demonstrated excellent removal efficiency for fluoride and nitrate, with 85% removal observed at the same dosage. Lemon peel powder also exhibited significant effectiveness, achieving 60% removal. Papaya seed powder proved to be the most efficient coagulant for removing hardness, demonstrating a removal rate of 69.66%. The study further revealed a noteworthy linear relationship between the removal of turbidity and hardness, as evidenced by correlation coefficients (R2) ranging from 0.67 to 0.88. Similar linear relationships were observed for turbidity removals, with R2 values ranging from 0.68 to 0.8. An additional advantage of using these natural coagulants was that they did not cause any pH alteration in the treated surface water. Moreover, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis of banana peels indicated the presence of functional groups such as carboxylic acid, hydroxyl, and aliphatic amines. These functional groups likely play a crucial role in facilitating coagulation and flocculation by neutralizing the charges of impurities in the water.

This study suggests that inexpensive natural coagulants hold promise for surface water treatment, offering a viable alternative to conventional methods.
Genetic Variability Assessment of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) Germplasm Accessions using Qualitative Morphological Descriptors
Authors: Kaluthanthri D.V.S. , Dasanayaka P.N.
Published: March 2024

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is considered as the fifth most important cereal crop in the world. It is well adapted to a range of environmental conditions. This study was based on twenty six sorghum germplasm accessions conserved at the seed gene bank of Plant Genetic Resource Center, Gannoruwa, Sri Lanka. The evaluation of the morphological diversity was based on 14 qualitative morphological traits outlined by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute. Qualitative data recorded from morphological traits were analyzed using PROC CLUSTER procedure of SAS software. The clustering pattern of studied sorghum accessions based on qualitative morphological markers comprised of seven major clusters. Clustering pattern based on the qualitative traits depicts the geographical origin of the studied accessions. This can be explained by the fact that qualitative traits are less influenced by the environment. In principle, qualitative data are expected to provide additional information on hierarchical units. Observation of a considerably high number of clusters consolidates that principle. There were 13 polymorphic qualitative morphological traits with respect to all the studied sorghum germplasm accessions. Cluster I, II, III, IV, V and VI had one or several features shared by all the member accessions those cannot be found in all the members of any other clusters. Also there were unique features restricted to cluster II, III, V and VI. This study reveals sufficient genetic relatedness of studied sorghum germplasm accessions which will meaningful in the conservation and breeding programs of the crops.
Deriving Tree Crown Distributions from Diameter at Breast Height
Authors: Ogana F.N , Dau J.H.
Published: March 2024

The distribution of crown diameter is important for assessing crown social class, monitoring forest health and wildlife management. However, the direct measurement of crown diameter is relative difficult, and as such, it is often predicted from diameter at breast based on a simple relationship. Therefore, in this study, the crown diameter distribution of Parkia biglobosa was derived from Dbh using Weibull and Log-Logistic functions. A total of 284 trees were measured from Parkia biglobosa plantation in Makurdi, Nigeria. Four methods were used for Weibull distribution including maximum likelihood (MLE), moments, percentiles and cumulative distribution function regression (CDFreg). MLE and CDFreg were used for Log-Logistic function. Transformation technique was used to transform the Dbh to crown distribution based on a simple allometric relationship between the variables. Kolmogorov-Smirnov (Dn), Cramer-von Mises statistic (W2) and Reynolds error index (EI) were used to assess the derived crown diameter distribution. The result showed that the underlying diameter distribution followed Weibull and Log-Logistic distributions. The fitted allometric equation was of the form:. MLE and CDFreg were the best methods for Weibull and Log-Logistic functions, respectively. The Dn, W2 and EI were 0.071, 0.0265 and 0.3434, respectively for MLE; and 0.0931, 0.0367 and 0.4171, respectively for CDFreg. In all methods, the observed and derived crown distributions were not significant at 20% (Dα=0.339). Thus, given the diameter distribution, the tree crown distribution of Parkia biglobosa can be derived. This would be useful for determination of the crown social class.

Contra la desinformación en red: la necesidad de una mirada crítica y enfoque multidisciplinar
Authors:   Universidad de Vigo, Rúas Araújo José , Fontenla-Pedreira Julia ,   Universidad de Vigo
Published: March 2024

The battle against misinformation relies on three indispensable pillars: foundational education —starting from school—, a critical perspective, and an interdisciplinary approach. These components are paramount in comprehending its causes, development, and potential effects on public opinion. Basic education equips individuals with the necessary skills and facilitates contextualization of the issue, from past to present days, enabling differentiation among various types, degrees, and levels of misinformation based on underlying motives. Moreover, adopting a multidisciplinary and holistic perspective provides the right angle to apprehend the complexity of misinformation in its entirety. Additionally, a critical outlook is key to unraveling the intricacies of contemporary dilemmas such as the dissemination of misinformation regarding misinformation itself. It also offers insight into how rumors and fake news can become a lucrative business, not only for those spreading them but also for those claiming to combat them.

Long-term changes in water quality and structure of benthic animal communities in the Neva estuary under anthropogenic stress
Authors: Golubkov S.M. , Balushkina E.V.
Published: March 2024

In the Neva River estuary, 188 species and taxa of a higher rank of benthic animals were found, of which 129 were found in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland. At present, the zoobenthos of the estuary is dominated by eurybiont species inhabiting polluted waters. We used integrated index IP' specially devised for water-bodies and rivers of the north-western Russia to assess the water quality and a state of ecosystems of the Neva estuary. It is based on structural parameters of zoobenthic communities and makes it possible to take into consideration the pollution by toxic and organic substances. On average the water quality of the Neva Bay assessed from IP′ values was relatively stable during 1994–2021. It was assessed as “polluted” with the exception of 2006 and 2015 caused by large-scale dredging works. In the period 1982–2021, the average number of zoobenthos species at one station in the Neva Bay almost doubled, from 12 ± 1 species in 1982 to 23±2 species in 2020. In the resort area of the eastern Gulf of Finland, the values of species richness and the Shannon index were much lower than in the Neva Bay, and on average for one station varied from 5±0.6 to 14±4 species and from 1.1±0.2 to 2.3±0.2 bit/ind. This is caused by the influence of salinity, eutrophication and pollution, and invasion of alien species. In addition to intense anthropogenic impact, the dynamics of the state of zoobenthos in this part of the estuary was determined by climate fluctuations.

Published: March 2024

There are several external and internal abnormalities that affect development in both wild and farmed fish. One of these abnormalities is known as saddleback syndrome (SBS), characterized by abnormalities in the shape, number, or absence of dorsal pterygiophores, causing a concavity in the dorsal region and absence of fin sections. The causes of this syndrome are not yet clear, but could be caused by fishing or predator damage, nutritional deficiencies, genetic conditions and environmental stress from pollutants that may cause alteration in the ontogenetic development of the fish. This study recorded for the first time the SBS in a wild-caught specimen of Thorichthys meeki Brind, 1918 (Cichlidae). Specimens were collected in the locality of Chekubul, municipality of Carmen, Campeche, México on November 18, 2022. The development of the dorsal fin begins from the first to the ninth dorsal spine where there is a dorsal concavity, which ends with the last three dorsal spines. There is no evidence of scoliosis or lordosis from the X-ray analysis; however, the dorsal pterygiophores show irregularities in their development. The specimen with the syndrome showed no other body abnormalities that would have prevented its development to adulthood, although the causative agent is unclear.
