Published: July 2020

The mopo’a huta ritual is a ritual practiced by Gorontalo people when the dry season arrives. By carrying out this ritual, people believe that rain will fall and fertility and prosperity will come. This ritual has been carried out since hundreds of years ago, but nowadays it has begun to be opposed by several groups. This study aims to find out how the practice of the mopo'a Huta ritual, how the public view of the mopo'a huta ritual using Geertz's perspective. The study used a qualitative approach with case studies, conducted interviews with the organizers, made observations during the procession, and explored the results of previous research. The study found that the mopo'a huta ritual in practice held a dance (dayango) accompanied by the wasps of towohu (drums) for several nights. At the peak of the ritual, offerings were made consisting of certain ingredients to be presented to supernatural beings as the rulers of nature. For this practice, there are 3 community groups 1) the abangan group, namely the traditional farmers who still hold the tradition, 2) the santri group, namely the educated community as a group of modern farmers, some of whom still believe and some do not believe because there is already technology that can solve problems, 3) priyai groups, namely village heads. In the past, the village head was the main supporter of the mopo'a huta ritual, while at present, the village head secures himself in the middle position. 

ABSTRAK

Published: July 2020

Türkiye alan yazınına baktığımızda, erkeklik çalışmaları ve erkeklik incelemeleri, hakkında konuşulan ama akademik olarak hakkında çok fazla çalışma yapılmamış konular olarak karşımıza çıkar. Uluslararası alan yazında erkeklik çalışmaları 1970’li yıllarda tartışılmaya başlansa da Türkiye’de üzerine çalışmalar yapılması 2000’li yılları bulmaktadır. İlgili literatürü incelediğimizde, toplum içerisinde değişen söylemlere göre şekillenen farklı erkeklik kültürleri olduğu görülür. Bu minvalde, erkeklikten değil erkekliklerden bahsedilir. Toplumların farklı sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel yapılarına göre farklı erkeklikler ortaya çıkar. Aynı toplum içinde bile bölgelerin farklı kültürel yapılarına göre farklı erkeklik modellerinden bahsedilebilir. Buna rağmen aynı toplum içerisinde diğer erkekliklerin kendini ona göre kurguladığı hegemonik erkeklik unsurlarından söz edilebilir. Türkiye’deki erkeklik incelendiğinde geleneksel bir hegemonik erkeklik algısı olmasına rağmen “Trabzon erkekliği, İstanbul erkekliği vb.” gibi farklı erkeklik söylemleri karşımıza çıkar. Bu anlamda bu çalışmada Yozgat’ta erkeklik incelemesi yapılmıştır. Yozgat’ta yaşayan 20- 65 yaş arası 25 erkekle ile yapılandırılmış açık uçlu görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Bu görüşmeler sonucunda Yozgat’ta erkeklik kültürel unsurlar taşısa da Türkiye’de var olan hegemonik erkeklik anlayışını sünnet, askerlik, iş bulma ve evlilik pratikleri üzerinden yeniden üretmektedir.

Published: July 2020

Rupture of the membrane is considered as one of the most critical characteristics while working on wastewater treatment via emulsion liquid membrane. This paper presents a decisive study of different parameters affecting the rupture of membrane. The potential parameters which are investigated in this study include, surfactant dosage, surfactant concentration, concentration of aqueous phase, emulsification velocity, ratio of organic to aqueous phases and ratio of membrane to feed phases. The Design of Experiment (DOE) approach was used to design the experiments and the results were analyzed statistically through a software Minitab-18. The study revealed that amongst all these parameters, two are the highly significant playing a crucial role in rupture of the membrane. These significant parameters are emulsification velocity and ratio of the organic to aqueous phase. Pareto chart being used as an effective statistical tool implied that the emulsification velocity and ratio of the organic to aqueous phase have negative and positive effects on the response respectively. Using the Response Optimizer tool, the optimum levels of all the potential parameters were statistically calculated followed by an experimental verification resulting a least minimum rupture of 36%. A statistical model was developed in this study and the values of predicted rupture were compared with the experimental results. The calculated correlation coefficient R2 of the developed model was 0.998 and the accuracy of correlation coefficient deduced that the developed model of rupture will precisely calculate the rupture over the range of values.

Published: July 2020

Pesticide spray is essential for pest control, crop production and protection. However, the direct contact of these pesticides with humans may cause cancer, complication in the respiratory system and neurological disorders. This problem is more severe in developing countries as each year more than 100 thousand death cases are reported by World Health Organization. This work presents a modification approach of Quadcopter into a UAV, in such a way that it can fly in manual as well as autopilot mode and can spray on agricultural lands using its ground control station. In this work, a stable system is developed for aerial distribution of pesticides as well as fertilizer to reduce human contact with pesticides. The system consists of; a) a remote controlled UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) which is controlled from ground through a flight controller and b) a spraying system which is manually triggered by RF controlled circuit. The reliability of the proposed framework is evaluated on a test area of around 1000m2. The pumping rate of sprayer system is adjusted to 40 mL/min with PWM at 45% duty cycle. From results it can be concluded that the integration of UAV with the spray system results in a spraying mechanism which is very efficient and hazard-free for crop pest management in the small field area.

Published: July 2020

onvolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been very successful in classification and object recognition. A lot of related work has been done to modify the performance of the networks, but they could either perform better with accuracy at high cost or decrease the time taken by a model on training datasets. We propose a deep neural network model ’Multi-Blocked Model’ which tends to decrease this gap and is efficient and accurate with less convolutional layers, easy to deploy online or embedded systems. We choose three datasets that are publicly available and popular for their own uniqueness among the datasets in deep neural networks. These three diverse datasets are: Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST), Street View House Number (SVHN) and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research with 10 Cases (CIFAR-10). Our stateof-the-art Multi-Blocked model is presented well on all three data sets. Dropout is added to overcome the overfitting problem. The multi-blocked model is designed in a way that it uses a minimum number of parameters so that it is able to run on a Graphical Processing Unit (GPU), which requires less power. The experimental results show that our proposed Multi-Blocked model tends to achieve the accuracy of these datasets by 99.40%, 90.8%, 88.07% consuming under 2 GB of graphical memory.

Published: July 2020

It is imperative in a medical domain that protection of information does not allow an individual to be overlooked. In medical domain, research community encourages use of real-time datasets for research purposes. These real-time datasets contain structured and unstructured (natural language free text) information that can be useful to researchers in various disciplines including computational linguistics. On the other hand, these real-time datasets cannot be distributed without anonymization of Protected Health Information (PHI). The information of PHI (such as Name, age, address, etc.) that can identify an individual is unethical. Therefore, we present a rule-based Natural Language Processing (NLP) anonymization system using a challenging corpus containing medical narratives and ICD-10 codes (medical codes). This anonymization module can be used for pre-processing the corpus containing identifiable information. The corpus used in this research contains '2534' PHIs in '1984' medical records in total. 15% of the labelled corpus was used for improvement of guidelines in the identification and classification of PHI groups and 85% was held for the evaluation. Our anonymization system follows two step process: (1) Identification and cataloging PHIs with four PHI categories ('Patients Name', 'Doctors Name', 'Other Name [Names other than patients and doctors]', 'Place Name'), (2) Anonymization of PHIs by replacing identified PHIs with their respective PHI categories. Our method uses basic language processing, dictionaries, rules and heuristics to identify, classify and anonymize PHIs with PHI categories. We use standard metrics for evaluation and our system outperforms against human annotated gold standard with 100% of F-measure by increasing 39% from baseline results, which proves the reliability of data usage for research.
Testing Procedure for Item Response Probabilities of 2Class Latent Model
Authors: Shamshad Bushra , Sagheer Siddiqui Junaid
Published: July 2020

This paper presents Hotelling T2 as a procedure for the testing of significance difference between the item response probabilities (ωij′s) of classes in a Latent Class Model (LCM). Parametric bootstrap technique is used in order to generate samples for ωij′s. These samples are based on the estimated parameters of 2-class latent model. The estimation of parameters in either situation is done using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm through Maximum likelihood method. The hypothesis under consideration is whether the response probabilities (ωij′s) are equal against each item in both the classes. { H0 : ωi1 = ωi2. against H1 : =ωi1 ≠ ωi2}. If the test exhibits significant difference between response probabilities in both classes, it will be a clear indication of a presence of latent variable. We consider both training and testing data sets to develop the test. In order to apply Hotelling T2 test the basic assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance are also checked. Chi-square goodness of fit test is used for assessing normal distribution to be good fitted on the hypothesized (bootstrap samples) based on 2-class latent model parameters for each data and Bartlett test to check heterogeneity of variances in ωij′s. Moreover, our procedure produces a minimum standard error of estimates as compared to those obtained through the package in R.Gui environment
Molecular dynamics and reaction kinetics analyses of gamma radiation impact on concrete hydration
Authors: Faure Quentin , Jevremovic Tatjana
Published: July 2020

MOPAC and LAMMPS molecular dynamics codes and reaction kinetics code based on
multi-ionic continuum-based model are used to analyze the impact of gamma
radiation on concrete hydration. The experimental studies showed that while
cured with the low gamma dose concrete shows a statistically significant
increase in its strength compared to conventionally cured concrete. The
potential reason is the interactions of gamma rays with water causing
concrete faster hydration. The question then to ask is would the higher gamma
dose enhance the concrete curing further producing its higher strength. This
paper provides in-depth numerical analyses of the high-dose gamma radiation
effect on concrete based on molecular dynamics and reaction kinetics models.
Under these conditions, it is assumed that gamma radiation interacting with
water within the concrete induces water radiolysis. These numerical
simulations show that the reactivity is generally increased in the presence
of electrophiles. However, the early hydration models of tricalcium silicate
(alite) and dicalcium silicate (belite) with H+, OH-, and H3O+ show that the
hydration process is slowed down leading to a lower concrete strength.
Additionally, the reaction kinetics model used to estimate the effect of
[OH-] on tricalcium silicate hydration shows that an increase or decrease of
[OH-] during tricalcium silicate hydration can respectively slow down or
enhance its rate of hydration. The dose necessary to produce the water
radiolysis resulting in varying [OH-] during tricalcium silicate hydration is
required to be extremely high and therefore, will damage the concrete
structure itself. This leads to the conclusion that increasing the gamma dose
to concrete above that used in the experimental studies in order to induce
water radiolysis will not improve concrete strength, therefore water
radiolysis is not the required condition for improving concrete strength when
cured under gamma radiation.

Authors: Dautbasic Nedis , Mujezinovic Adnan
Published: July 2020

This paper deals with an advanced electromagnetic radiation approach for
analyzing the time-domain performance of grounding systems under pulse
excitation currents. The model of the grounding systems presented within this
paper is based on the homogeneous Pocklington integro-differential equation
for the calculation of the current distribution on the grounding system and
Lorentz gauge condition which is used for the grounding system transient
voltage calculation. For the solution of the Pocklington integro-differential
equation, the indirect boundary element method and marching on-in time method
are used. Fur- thermore, the solution technique for the calculation of the
grounding system transient voltage is presented. The numerical model for the
calculation of the grounding system transients was verified by comparing it
with onsite measurement results.

Published: July 2020

Individual hand monitoring for workers who manipulate unsealed radioactive
sources in nuclear medicine is a necessity and the results can serve as the
base for optimization processes. We performed an analysis of individual hand
doses for medical staff preparing and applying radiopharmaceuticals (99mTc,
123I, 201Tl, 131I, or 125I) in three Croatian clinical hospitals, for a
period of one year since extremity monitoring became legally mandatory in
Croatia. The majority of annual hand doses for workers were below or slightly
above 150 mSv per year with only a few workers exceeding the annual dose
limit of 500 mSv. The analysis confirmed that the radiation protection
expert's role in an individual monitoring programme and personal dosimetry is
crucial in order to achieve the optimal radiation protection of workers.

In this work, the Al-10Mg nanostructured alloy was synthesized by high-energy
mechanical milling. Subsequently, the powders consolidated under a uniaxial
pressing in the air. The as milled powders were analyzed using scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray
diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). SEM and XRD
also characterized the sintered samples. Vickers microhardness of sintered
Al-10Mg alloy was measured. SEM, XRD, and TEM characterizations show that
the Al-10Mg alloy was synthesized after 10 h milling. The X-ray powder
analysis of the structural parameters showed the increment with the time of
the lattice parameter, strain as well as the solubility of Mg in Al.
Besides, XRD and TEM studies showed that the crystallite size was reaching
an average value of 19 nm after 10 h milling. XRD patterns of the all
sintered specimens show the formation of the MgAl2O4 spinel phase. After
powders compaction, the specimen sintered at 420?C for 2 h shows
microhardness of 125 HV.

Published: July 2020

This experimental study was conducted with an aim to investigate the effect
of the elevated temperature on the mineral phase composition, microstructure
and mechanical properties of the thermal insulation lightweight concretes.
The first group of experimental concretes was based on the expanded
vermiculite and expanded perlite used as lightweight aggregates (in 65 wt%)
in combination with either ordinary Portland cement or refractory calcium
aluminate cement. The mix-design of the second group of concretes comprised
standard quartz aggregate, vermiculite or perlite as aggregate replacement
(25 wt%) and binder (PC or CAC). A total of 10 concrete mix-designs were
fabricated in form of 40?40?160 mm samples which were submitted to
heat-treatment at 400?, 600?, 800? and 1000?C upon standard 28-days period
of curing and hardening. The changes in crystallinity and mineral phase
composition induced by temperature were monitored by X-ray diffraction
technique. Microstructural visualizations of the non-fired and fired
concrete samples were conducted by scanning electron microscopy accompanied
with EDX analysis. The results indicated that despite the decrease in
compressive strengths upon firing, investigated lightweight concretes can be
categorized both as thermal insulators and structural materials.
From metal chips to composite: Effect of age-hardening on mechanical and wear properties of Al2O3 reinforced AA7075 composites
Authors: Durmuş Hülya , Gül Canser , Çömez Nilay , Uzun Receponur
Published: July 2020

Aluminum metal matrix composites were used in various fields such as
aircraft, underwater, automobile, aerospace. Several fabrication techniques
were used for the production of these composites. Among the various methods,
the powder metallurgy route provides dimensional accuracy and high
production rates. In this paper, metal matrix composites that include 7075
aluminum alloy chips and Al2O3 particles were produced by using a hot
pressing. The effect of reinforcement amount and T6 heat treatment on the
mechanical and wear properties of the composites were investigated. Al2O3
particles were added by weight of 5, 10 and 15 % and the composites were
produced by hot pressing. T6 heat treatment consisted of a solution
treatment at 480?C for 2 h and artificially aging process at 120?C for 24
h. Wear resistance of the composites was determined by a ball-on-disc dry
sliding wear test. Brinell Hardness of the composites tended to increase
with the increasing Al2O3 reinforcement up to 10 wt.% and with T6 treating.
Particle reinforcement improved the wear resistance up to 10 wt.% Al2O3. In
addition, volumetric material loss tended to decrease after the aging
process.

Authors: Huthmacher Jessica Annalena , Meier Juris J. , Nauck Michael A.
Published: July 2020

Background/Purpose. To compare efficacy and safety of short- and
long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), both used in combination with
basal insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Data Sources/Study Selection. Randomized controlled trials comparing the co-administration of short-
or long-acting GLP-1 RAs and basal insulin with basal insulin ± placebo were
identified (PubMed search). Of 974 identified publications 14 clinical trials
were included. Eight trials examined short-acting and six long-acting GLP-1
RAs.

Data Extraction/Data Synthesis. Differences in HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, body weight
and adverse events were compared between studies using short- or long-acting
GLP-1 RAs by random-effects meta-analysis.

Limitations.
Relatively small numbers of available
publications, some heterogeneity regarding protocols and differences in the
GLP-1 RA compound used.

Conclusions. Long-acting GLP-1 RAs more effectively reduced HbA1c (∆ - 6
mmol/mol, [95 % CI - 10; - 2], p= 0.007), fasting plasma glucose (∆ - 0.7
mmol/l [- 1.2; - 0.3] p= 0.007) and body weight (∆ - 1.4 kg [- 2.2; - 0.6] p=
0.002) and raised the proportion of patients achieving an HbA1c target < 7.0%
(< 53 mmol/mol; p= 0.03) more than the short-acting ones. Patients reporting symptomatic (p= 0.048), but not severe hypoglycemia
(p= 0.96) were fewer with long- vs. short-acting GLP-1 RAs added to insulin.
The proportion of patients reporting nausea (- 52 %; p < 0.0001) or vomiting
(- 36 %; p= 0.0002) was lower with long-acting GLP-1 RAs. Overall, GLP-1 RAs improved HbA1c, fasting
plasma glucose and body weight when added to basal insulin. However,
long-acting GLP-1 RAs were significantly more effective for glycemic and body
weight control and displayed better gastro-intestinal tolerability.

Published: July 2020

Riccati's Fractional Differential Equation (RFDE) has become a topic of study for researchers because RFDE can model variety of phenomenon in science such as random processes, optimal control and diffusion problems. Phenomena that can be modeled in a mathematical form can make it easier for humans to analyze several things from that phenomenon. RFDE generally does not have an exact solution, therefore a numerical approach solution is needed, one of the methods that gives good accuracy to the actual or exact solution is Polynomial Least Squares, where the errors calculated based on mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) produce a percentage below 1%. In addition, the convergence of a sequence from approximate solutions indicates that the sequence will converge to a solution.

Published: July 2020

This research is to study the effect of ethanol fermentation aerobic pH on acetic acid product. Anaerobic fermentation uses saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce ethanol, and aerobic fermentation uses acetobacter acetic for acetic acid production. In aerobic ethanol fermentation using pH 3; 3.5; 4 and 5.  The ethanol concentration was evaluated using GC ULTRA Scientific Gas Chromatography, DSQ II detector, and MS 220 column. Acetic acid produced was analyzed using an alkalymetric method. Anaerobic fermentation uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae with 1-day log phase, while aerobic fermentation uses acetobacter aceti with a 5-day log phase. Fermentation using saccharomyces cerevisiae within 24 hours so that reduction sugar could stably decrease, optimum ethanol could be got at optimum pH 6 which could decrease 55 % of reducing sugar concentration to produce 8,20583 %v/v ethanol. Fermentation acetate acid content observed in 3 days at pH 6 and 30 ⁰C will produce 6,659 g/l also shows that pH 4-6 at 30 ⁰C will produce 6,605 g/l acetate acid. Aerobic fermentation of acetate acid in 3 days shows that pH 4-6 is highly affected by temperature at 30⁰C. Statistical analysis shows, in ethanol production pH and fermentation time give significant effect, but interaction has no significant effect.

Authors: Chhabra Sakshi , Kumar Singh Ashutosh
Published: July 2020

Securing the data in distributed cloud system is considered one of the major concern for the cloud customers who faces security risks. The data leakage or data tampering are widely used by attackers to extract the private information of other users who shares the confidential data through virtualization. This paper presents Secure Secret Sharing (SSS) technique which is being recognized as one of the leading method to secure the sensitive data. It shares encrypted data over cloud and generated secret key is split into different parts distributed to qualified participants (Qn) only which is analyzed by malicious checkers. It verifies the clients based on their previous performances, whether these users proved to be authorized participant or not. The key computation is evaluated by the Key handler (KH) called trusted party which manages authorized control list, encryption/decryption and reconstruction of key shares. The Lagrange’s interpolation method is used to reconstruct the secret from shares. The experimental results shows that the proposed secure data sharing algorithm not only provides excellent security and performance, but also achieves better key management and data confidentiality than previous countermeasures. It improves the security by using secure VM placement and evaluated based on time consumption and probability computation to prove the efficacy of our algorithm. Experiments are performed on cloudsim based on following parameters i.e. time computation of key generation; response time and encryption/decryption. The experimental results demonstrate that this method can effectively reduce the risks and improves the security and time consumption upto 27.81% and 43.61% over existing algorithms.

Published: July 2020

Objective

To explore patterns and trends in nursing publications from the People's Republic of China.

Methods

Using the Scopus online database, the author performed two searches in August 2019. The first search identified all items in the category of nursing affiliated to China, and the second search identified publications from China within one specific nursing journal. The author used a theoretical framework to provide a more in-depth understanding of patterns and trends within these items.

Results

The number of articles categorized as nursing, with listed authorship in China, within the Scopus database was 17,506. The majority of published papers were categorized as research. Top-ranking Chinese universities, such as Peking University and Fudan University, scored high in terms of several publications listed within the database. Although categorized as nursing, the most common source titles that are mostly high-ranking journals did not feature the high-ranking nursing journals. Identified authors were generally not affiliated with nursing schools. Focused analysis of one of the top-ranking nursing journals, the Journal of Nursing Management, featured top Chinese universities and consistent nursing authorship. Nursing authors were found to have lower h-indices than international nursing professors.

Conclusions

There has been a steady increase year by year in publications categorized as nursing from China since 2009, with the majority of published papers categorized as research. There is clear evidence of scholarly activity in nursing in China, both in the published literature and anecdotally in practice. However, nursing scholars need to do more to increase dissemination and ensure that nursing professors are leading and driving nursing research, although in a multidisciplinary context. There is also a need for increased exposure of Chinese nursing scholarship in high-ranking nursing journals.
Two essays: on silence and the poetic paradigm in the work of Furio Jesi
Authors: Grigorieva Marina
Published: July 2020

At the end of March 2020, Giorgio Agabmen on the website of Quodlibet publishing house in his essay "Reflections on the plague", concerning more than the events of the epidemic, but what we can understand from the reaction of people to it, the relative ease with which society has taken a set of measures that completely distort normal living conditions, including working relationships, friendship, love, religious and political beliefs. His assumption is that the forms of relationships in society, say, faith-hope-love, were touched," eaten away " by the plague long before the outbreak, and therefore lost the ability to meet the needs of themselves due to the lack of such. The problem raised by the essays "Image and silence" and "on the impossibility of saying "I": epistemological paradigms and poetic paradigms in the work of Furio yezi " actualizes the present day, reducing politics to the incredible performance of a mythological machine that creates nothing from nothing, and thereby demonstrating its own emptiness, which is reflected in language – all that it can give us and what its absence can deprive us of.

Unexpected Catalytic Activity of the Regulatory Protein QacR
Authors: Gutiérrez de Souza Cora , Alonso-Cotchico Lur , Bersellini Manuela , Roelfes Gerard
Published: July 2020

Natural proteins often present binding or functional promiscuity. In biocatalysis, this promiscuity has been exploited for accessing new-to-nature reactions. Here, we report an unexpected catalytic reactivity for the regulatory protein QacR from the TetR family of multidrug resistance regulators. QacR is able to catalyze the enatioselective tandem Friedel-Crafts / enantioselective protonation reaction of indoles with alpha substituted conjugated enones with up to 40% yield and 83% ee. Mutagenesis and computational studies support the hypothesis that an acidic residue in the binding pocket of the protein is responsible for protonating the enolate intermediate.

In this work we exploit the ability of spin-crossover molecules to switch between two spin states, upon the application of external stimuli, to prepare smart molecular/2D heterostructures. Through the chemical design of the hybrid interface, that involves a covalent grafting between the two components, we obtain a hybrid heterostructure formed by spin-crossover nanoparticles anchored on chemically functionalized monolayers of semiconducting MoS2. In the resulting hybrid, the strain generated by the molecular system over the MoS2 layer, as a consequence of a thermal or light-induced spin switching, results in a dramatic and reversible change of its electrical and optical properties. This novel class of smart molecular/2D heterostructures could open the way towards a novel generation of hybrid multifunctional materials and devices of direct application in highly topical fields like electronics, spintronics or molecular sensing.

Authors: Gao Qian , Sheng Juan , Qin Song , Zhang Luoying
Published: July 2020

Affective disorders are often accompanied by circadian rhythm disruption and the major symptoms of mental illness occur in a rhythmic manner. Chronotype, also known as circadian preference for rest or activity, is believed to exert a substantial influence on mental health. Here, we review the connection between chronotypes and affective disorders, and discuss the potential underlying mechanisms between these two phenomena.
Differences between empathy for face and body pain: Cognitive and neural responses
Authors: Li Xiong , Zhang Yinya , Xiang Binyang , Meng Jing
Published: July 2020

Empathy for pain is a hotspot in the field of empathy research because of its specific cognitive and neural mechanism. Currently, studies of empathy for pain can be classified into two categories based on the body regions receiving the painful stimulus, i.e., empathy for face pain and empathy for body pain, which conveys painful information based on individuals’ faces or body parts, respectively. Although the existing evidence revealed differences between these two kinds of pain empathy regarding the underlying cognitive and neural mechanisms, the current studies tend to confuse these findings. Therefore, we summarized the differences between empathy for face and body pain, mainly regarding the behavioral reactivity tendency, brain activations, and electrophysiological (EEG) signals. These differences probably stem from the fact that the human face contains more emotional information, while other body parts contain more perceptual information. Thus, future studies should identify the distinctions between empathy for face and body pain, to explore further how empathy for face pain is affected by the facial information of others and focus on empathy for face pain in individuals with psychopathological disorders. Furthermore, the specific reasons for these distinctions and their underlying neuromechanisms deserve to be further reviewed.
Interaction between social pain and physical pain
Authors: Zhang Ming , Zhang Yuqi , Kong Yazhuo
Published: July 2020

People often experience two types of pain: social pain and physical pain. The former is related to psychological distance from other people or social groups, whereas the latter is associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Social pain caused by interpersonal interactions causes negative feelings in individuals and has negative consequences to the same degree as physical pain. Various studies have shown an interaction between social pain and physical pain, not only in behavioral performance but also in activities within shared neural regions. Accordingly, the present paper reviews: (1) the interaction between social pain and physical pain in individuals’ behavioral performances; and (2) the overlap in neural circuitry as regards the processing of social pain and physical pain. Understanding the relationship between social pain and physical pain might provide new insights into the nature of these two types of pain, and thus may further contribute to the treatment of illnesses associated with both types of painful experience.
