The Attraction of the Cosmos: How information inducing happiness and impression affects attitudes toward space tourism
Authors: Le Tam-Tri , Jin Ruining , Nguyen Minh-Hoang , Vuong Quan-Hoang
Published: July 2023

Space tourism is an emerging field where few people have direct experience. However, considering the potential in the near future, it is beneficial to better understand how related information influences people’s attitudes about this new form of tourism. Employing information-processing-based Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics on a dataset of 361 respondents consuming content related to space tourism on Chinese social media, we found that induced happiness and impression are positively associated with willingness to try space tourism. Information authenticity positively moderates these two associations. Our findings emphasize three aspects of information during the processes of reception and filtering: meaning, intensity, and trust. Since promotional materials for space tourism rely heavily on mental simulations rather than objective feedback, creative uses of digital technology are advantageous. However, precautions must be taken to prevent exploitation, such as false advertising, exaggeration, and emotional manipulation.

Progress in Earth system science is accelerating rapidly, due to the increasing availability of multivariate datasets, often global, with moderate to high spatio-temporal resolutions. Turning these data into knowledge presents interoperability, technical, analytical, and other challenges. Earth System Data Cubes (ESDCs) have surfaced as essential tools, offering analysis-ready, cloud-optimised multivariate solutions. Coupled with advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), these solutions have the potential to release a wealth of information from the vast amounts of data that they contain. The application of AI methods to ESDCs promises to unpick the complexities of the Earth system, learning the underlying non-linearities to forecast its spatio-temporal behaviour. However, naive applications of such methods might lead to wrong conclusions and predictions. In this perspective paper, we discuss the methodological and conceptual challenges that AI applications of ESDCs bring. Particular risks are naive applications that ignore intrinsic properties of the Earth system, such as spatio-temporal auto-correlation issues that may deliver highly accurate but flawed predictions. Other applications may ignore known causal structures of Earth system dynamics. We also face technical challenges, such as adequate sampling strategies in ESDCs. Furthermore, documenting data cube provenance is essential to ensure end-to-end reproducible workflows. Effective visualisation tools are required to enable users to quickly navigate terabytes of data and develop an intuition for spatio-temporal dynamics encoded in these cubes. Given this, we aim to synthesise the main challenges and derive an agenda for advancing data science on data cubes to better understand global Earth system processes.
Vaccination behavior under uncertainty: A longitudinal study on factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination behavior in Japan with focus on the effect of close others’ vaccination behavior
Authors: Ishii Yu , Yamaguchi Kazuhiro , Sakakibara Ryota
Published: July 2023

Experiencing apprehension and uncertainty toward the newly developed COVID-19 vaccines may be natural, but having people receive the vaccination is crucial in managing the pandemic. The present study aimed to examine how the beliefs, attitudes, and how the change in close others’ vaccination behavior from the beginning of the vaccine distribution predict the COVID-19 vaccine behavior today among Japanese sample. We conducted a longitudinal web-based survey at three time points between May 14-16, 2021 and August 12-18, 2022. At time 3, there were 1046 participants (mean age = 48.81, SD = 14.07, range = 20-80). 73% of the participants had received three or more shots at time 3, and when conducting ordinal logistic regression with intercept and slope of “Do you know anyone close to you who got vaccinated for COVID-19?” and intercept and slope of “Do you know anyone close to you who is saying they will not get vaccinated for COVID-19?,” COVID-19 vaccine uncertainty, COVID-19 risk perception, social norm of COVID-19 vaccination, COVID-19 vaccine attitude, gender, age, health status, impact of COVID-19 on life, experiences of testing positive for COVID-19, general vaccine attitude, knowledge of COVID-19 and big-five personality factors, the two intercepts were the two crucial factors in predicting later vaccination behaviors in relation with other factors. The result indicates that regardless of what attitudes people have toward vaccines, the initial status of the close others’ behavior is related relatively strongly to individuals’ vaccination behavior one and three months later.
The nature of anchor-biased estimates and its application to the wisdom of crowds
Authors: Honda Hidehito , Kagawa Rina , Shirasuna Masaru
Published: July 2023

We propose a method to achieve better wisdom of crowds by utilizing anchoring effects. In this method, people are first asked to make a comparative judgment such as “Is the number of new COVID-19 infections one month later more or less than 10 (or 200,000)?” As in this example, two sufficiently different anchors (e.g., “10” or “200,000”) are set in the comparative judgment. After this comparative judgment, people are asked to make their own estimates. These estimates are then aggregated. We hypothesized that the aggregated estimates using this method would be more accurate than those without anchor presentation. To examine the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conducted three studies: a computer simulation and two behavioral experiments (numerical estimation of perceptual stimuli and estimation of new COVID-19 infections by physicians). Through computer simulations, we could identify situations in which the proposed method is effective. Although the proposed method is not always effective (e.g., when a group can make fairly accurate estimations), on average, the proposed method is more likely to achieve better wisdom of crowds. In particular, when a group cannot make accurate estimations (i.e., shows biases such as overestimation or underestimation), the proposed method can achieve better wisdom of crowds. The results of the behavioral experiments were consistent with the computer simulation findings. The proposed method achieved better wisdom of crowds. We discuss new insights into anchoring effects and methods for inducing diverse opinions from group members.
Artificial Intelligence: Panacea or Non-intentional Dehumanisation?
Authors: van der Gun Luc , Guest Olivia
Published: July 2023

It goes without saying that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the pinnacle of our technological advancements. We have created intelligent systems that are held to vastly outperform certain human capacities, and it is clear that this will only increase as time passes. In many ways this is very promising, but the forms that technology and AI take in our society has also sparked many concerns of dehumanisation. The intentional form dehumanisation has started to receive some recognition as of late, a view that propagates that dehumanisation would be gone if only we rule out the underlying malicious intentions for oppression. Yet, such a view glosses over the fact that dehumanisation might also occur when a seemingly positive goal is perfectly reached. As such, we propose the notion of “non-intentional dehumanisation” to describe this alternative side of dehumanisation, of which naive AI usage is a paradigmatic case. We further elaborate it to take two forms; not only does AI risk dehumanising the “used-upon” (a denial of humanness), but also the user (a deprivation of humanness). The present paper will end by synthesising a model that lists (and exemplifies) the potential causes and effects that pertain to this phenomenon. This conceptual model of non-intentional dehumanisation could prove useful to bring awareness to the counter side to our ready acceptance of AI solutions
From honors education to regular education: learning from the content of innovations
Authors: Eijl Pierre van , Pilot Albert , Weerheijm Ron
Published: July 2023

At the introduction of honors programs in Dutch higher education, stakeholders assumed that honors education could stimulate innovation in regular education. Whether this assumption holds was researched in the ‘Transfer of honors education to regular education’ project. This article focuses on the question of whether teachers’ experiences with honors education stimulated innovations in regular education and about structural characteristics in relation to the content, teaching formats, and pedagogics of the innovations. Interviews were conducted with teachers from four universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands. The results show that teachers in regular education found honors programs to provide them an opportunity to work with content, teaching formats, and pedagogics that they were unfamiliar with. Through these teachers, the honors approach inspired innovation in regular programs. Strikingly, these innovations contain to some degree all 14 structural characteristics of honors education distinguished in this study. The findings indicate the great innovative potential of honors education for regular education.

Psychosocial outcome following kidney donation: A single-center experience
Authors: Mesem Meral , Seyahi Nurhan , Cebioglu Tugba , Yadigar Serap
Published: July 2023

Previous studies have reported wide ranges in the prevalence of post-donation anxiety, depression, and regret in living kidney donors (LKDs), with uncertain risk factors. We performed a cross-sectional study on the psychological status of former kidney donors. We aimed to determine the psychological characteristics of kidney donors compared to healthy controls.

Methods. Various tests were applied to 92 living kidney donors and a control group with similar characteristics. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF) forms used to collect data on the psychological status and quality of life (QL) of the donors.

Results. Donors had a higher General QL score (p=0.020). There were no significant differences between donors and control groups in terms of depression, anxiety, mood, Physical QL, Psychological QL and Environment QL scale. Female donors had higher trait anxiety compared to male donors (p=0.027). Level of State Anxiety, Positive Affect, Social Relations QL, and Environment QL was higher in females. There were no statistically significant differences between female and male donors. Positive affect scores (β = -0.221 (-0.403 - -0.040)) and Psychological QL (β = -0.131 (-0.250 -0.011)) were associated with lower depression scores, while negative affect scores associated with higher depression scores(β=0.201 (0.022 -0.381).

Conclusions. As the psychological status of former kidney donors was no worse than controls, carefully selected donors may not be associated with the psychological burden.

Authors: Fialko N.M. , Prokopov V. , Sherenkovskyi Ju. , Meranova N. , Aloshko S.
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the work is to establish the laws of isothermal flow and mixture formation of fuel and oxidizer in a new modification of microjet burners equipped with a three-row fuel jet system and oriented to operation at various values of the excess air coefficient. The proposed burners are designed to provide the ability to control the composition of the fuel mixture in the flame stabilization zone and, in general, high efficiency of fuel combustion under the conditions under consideration. As part of the work, the following tasks were to be solved: to establish the main characteristics of the flow and mixture formation in the these burners; to identify the effects of various factors on the structure of the flow and mixture formation in these burners; to determine the rational design parameters of the fuel gas supply system, which realize favorable conditions for the mixture formation of fuel and oxidizer in the flame stabilization zone of the proposed burners. Computer simulation using Fluent code was used as a research method.

The main features of aerodynamics and mixture formation of fuel and oxidizer in the considered burner devices are revealed. The dependences of the characteristics of the processes under study on a number of design and operating parameters have been established. In particular, a comparative analysis of the patterns of flow and mixture formation during the operation of burner devices was performed for various values of the excess air coefficient corresponding to the supply of fuel gas to various fuel supply sections. Data have been obtained to determine the values of the geometric parameters of the fuel supply system, under which the necessary conditions for mixture formation in the flame stabilization zone are realized.1548
IMPROVEMENT OF THERMAL MODES OF WARMING UP HIGH-TEMPERATURE UNITS
Authors: Petryk O.A. , Nazarenko I.A.
Published: July 2023

One of the main problems of the modern world is the search for economy of energy resources that could compete with natural gas. High-temperature furnaces are one of the biggest consumers of fuel. The heat-technology installation (furnace unit) is a set of working space within which a high-temperature process is carried out, and the equipment that ensures its implementation.

The upper part of the reactor enclosure (working space) is called the vault. The vault is an element that determines the stability of the unit in general and affects the technical and economic indicators of production.

On furnaces with intensive blowing of the bath with oxygen, the stability of the vault is about 300 melts. In the course of the technological process, the furnace vault is affected by the following factors:

uneven heating of the inner surface of the vault along the length and width due to the uneven temperature field of the torch when heating the unit;

temperature fluctuations depending on technological periods;

a change in the chemical and phase composition of the refractory vault material as a result of the influence of slag and metal splashes, smelting dust and the gas atmosphere of the working space of the furnace. The intensification of thermal and technological regimes contributes to strengthening and accelerating the action of the above-mentioned processes. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the issue of high-quality heating of the vault of the unit.

The article presents the results of studies of factors affecting the stability of the vault of high-temperature aggregates.

On the basis of calculations based on the heat balance equations of the high-temperature unit, as well as recommendations for heating refractory products. In this article has been developed a new rational heating mode.

The new thermal mode of heating the vault of the furnace will ensure a uniform temperature gradient over the entire surface of the vault, as well as the space of the furnace: with exposure to 300°С and 800°С in the zones of increased linear expansion of directly bonded high-temperature products. And also increase the productivity of the unit due to faster entry into the working mode. The fuel reduction for the heating process is estimated about 10.7%.
Rubrospinal activation during asleep subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation: a false localizing sign. Illustrative case
Authors: Mitchell Devon L. , Pearce John , King Patrick , Sani Sepehr
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be a life-changing intervention for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), but its success is largely dependent on precise lead placement. The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is one of the most common surgical targets of DBS, but the close anatomical and physiological resemblance of the STN to the mediocaudal red nucleus renders these landmarks difficult to distinguish.

OBSERVATIONS

We present an atypical case in which targeted localization of the STN resulted in symptoms pathognomonic of rubrospinal tract (RST) stimulation. A 79-year-old female with a 12-year history of right-hand resting tremor due to medically refractory PD presented for asleep bilateral STN-DBS surgery. Right STN intraoperative testing revealed left hand and elbow flexion contractures, initially suggestive of corticospinal tract activation, despite imaging studies demonstrating reasonable lead placement in the central dorsolateral STN. The lead was moved anteromedially near the medial border of the STN, but stimulation at this location revealed similar but more robust flexor hand and arm contractures, without any extraocular muscle involvement. Thus, activation of the RST was suspected.

LESSONS

Isolated activation of the RST is possible during STN-DBS surgery. Its identification can help avoid false localization and suboptimal lead placement.
Traumatic bilateral lumbosacral facet dislocation without fracture: illustrative case
Authors: Castillo Jose , Soufi Khadija , Rodriguez Freddie , Ebinu Julius O.
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Traumatic bilateral lumbosacral facet dislocations without fractures are extremely rare. Only 7 cases have been documented since the first description by Watson-Jones in 1974. Although various treatment strategies have been reported, no consensus has been reached regarding the best surgical approach.

OBSERVATIONS

A 35-year-old female presented for medical attention following a high-speed motor vehicle collision. She sustained multiple injuries, including an abdominal aortic injury requiring emergent thoracic endovascular aortic repair. She was found to have bilateral lumbosacral dislocation without fracture (L5–S1) and was noted to be neurologically intact. Once medically stabilized, the patient was taken to the operating room for minimally invasive reduction and stabilization of her lumbosacral spine. Postoperatively, the patient was neurologically intact and remained stable with no deficits and appropriate lumbosacral alignment throughout her 2-year follow-up.

LESSONS

The authors report a minimally invasive approach to the management of bilateral lumbosacral facet dislocation without fracture. Although conventional open approaches have been described previously, consideration should be given to minimally invasive strategies in select patients to facilitate their rehabilitative postoperative course.
