Efficient New Conjugate Gradient Methods for Removing Impulse Noise Images
Authors: Hassan Basim A. , Sadiq Hameed
Published: November 2022

In most applications, denoising image is fundamental to subsequent image processing operations. In this research, we derivation a new formula of conjugate gradient methods based on the quadratic model. The fact that the search direction created at each iteration of the proposed approach is descending and independent of the line search makes it interesting. The use of Wolfeconditions also determines the global convergence of the suggested approach. To prove the viability of the suggested approach, comparison tests on impulse noise reduction are given.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combining vestibular-proprioceptive activities, bilateral coordination exercises, and visual perception training on sensory integration function and motor development in preschool-age children with developmental delay. This study is a case report of two male children with developmental delay, and was conducted over 16 sessions. In the initial evaluation and re-evaluation, the patients underwent a sensory profile, a motor fitness test (Bruininks-Oseretsky test of Motor Proficiency-2), and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Both sensory integration function and motor development were evaluated. During the intervention period, vestibular-proprioceptive activities were alternately combined with bilateral coordination exercises or visual perception training and performed for 40 minutes each. The differences between the initial evaluation and re-evaluation results of each patient were analyzed.
When sensory integration function and motor development results before and after the intervention were compared, the first patient demonstrated improvement in seven areas and the second in four areas in the sensory profile. In the exercise fitness test, both patients demonstrated improved scores in all areas. Thus, it was confirmed that vestibular-proprioceptive activities, when combined with bilateral coordination exercise and visual perception training, had a positive effect on sensory integration function and motor development for preschool-age children with developmental delay.

Marital adjustment and gender role partnerships in the household must be well established to create marital satisfaction so that there is no conflict in the family. This study analyzes the factors influencing marital satisfaction in intact families during the Covid-19 pandemic. Respondents in this study are wives from intact families who have children and are domiciled in the city of Bogor. The sampling technique used non-probability purposive sampling with several samples of as many as 128 people. The data was processed using descriptive and inferential tests and multiple linear regression using SPSS 25 and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS 3.0. The correlation test results showed a positive correlation between marital adjustment, gender role partnerships, and marital satisfaction. The results of the linear regression test showed that the husband's income had a significant positive effect on marital satisfaction. Correlation tests, linear regression test results, and SEM showed that marital adjustment and gender role partnerships significantly positively affected marital satisfaction. There is an indirect effect between marital adjustment and marital satisfaction with gender role partnership mediators.

Many reports revealed that the household is considered as the main contributor for foodborne diseases.  Although Covid-19 is not a foodborne diseases, Covid-19 pandemic has forced people to adapt to new habits especially regarding hygiene and sanitaion practices. This may have some implication on behaviour at household level contributing to food safety. The present study aimed to describe food safety knowledge and practices in the households during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study applied an online survey with mothers as respondents and the questionnaire was distributed through social media. Respon-dents were determined purposively with the inclusion criteria: women aged 21-64 years, married, had children, lived or settled in Jakarta for at least one year, and played a role in household food procurement. From the target of 400 respondents, 443 respondents met the requirements for data analysis. The survey results showed that education and income moderately correlated with food safety knowledge and practices. Although more than half of respondents (65.2%) still have inadequate knowledge on food safety and Covid-19, higher number of respondents (71.3%) were considered to have good practices to enhance food safety and prevent Covid-19 infections. During the pandemic there were changes in behaviours as shown by an increase of respondents cooking at home (65.5%) compared to before the pandemic (56.4%) and eating habits in restaurants, which decreased during the pandemic (10.6%) compared to before the pandemic (23.7%). In chosing food source, taste and cleanliness were the main considerations. More than half of the respondents (58.7%) obtained information about COVID-19 and food safety from social media.

Review of Trigger Point Therapy for the Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndromes
Authors: Ting Kimberly , Huh Albert , J. Roldan Carlos
Published: November 2022

Scope of the investigation: No standard protocol has been established for the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Invasive therapies such as dry needling and trigger point injection (TPI) with active pharmacological agents are commonly used. Growing evidence suggests the efficacy of TPI is independent of the injectate selected. Normal saline (NS) solution has been described as an efficient injectate used in TPI for the treatment of MPS. Methods: A broad literature search was performed to compare the use of NS and other pharmacological agents as the injectate in TPI for the treatment of MPS. Results: We identified 13 reports comparing the safety and efficacy of NS with that of botulinum toxin A or local anesthetic with or without steroid in TPI. Conclusion: Pain of myofascial origin can be adequately treated with TPI independent of the injectate used. The use of NS in TPI offers lower cost, safety, and a more favorable side effect profile than other TPI injectates.

Towards Queer Tours in Science and Technology Museums
Authors: Armstrong Eleanor Sophie
Published: November 2022

This paper argues that the Queering the Science Museum tour series (2018) provides an example of a conceptual pathway for translating queer tour guiding approaches found in socio-historical and arts museums into STEMM spaces. I use participatory methods and qualitative and quantitative participant data to reflect on my work on the tours in the context of wider practices of tour-guided interventions. I highlight how the Queering the Science Museum tours, at the Science Museum, London, moved beyond existing models of queer engagement in socio-historic and arts museums by introducing an explicitly critically queer approach to science and technology, which has the potential to expand the possibility of queer interventions in museums generally. I close by examining the limitations of tour-as-intervention for change within the museum, while exposing the tensions around how resolving such issues would challenge queer theory’s call for rejecting the making of queer ‘normal’ within displays.
Poisonous Heritage: Chemical Conservation, Monitored Collections, and the Threshold of Ethnological Museums
Authors: Arndt Lotte
Published: November 2022

Many of the artifacts collected during the peak of colonization are made from organic materials and vulnerable to being eaten by insects or decomposition from mould. As part of the technical developments of the twentieth century, chemical treatments seemed to provide a viable solution to prevent decay of many collections. A broader awareness of the long-term effects of the employed toxic substances arose only decades later. Based on existing research, and explorative interviews in half a dozen museums in Europe, this text draws connections between the history of colonial collections, the use of chemicals in museum conservation, and the questions raised by shifting conceptions of the role of museums in the light of restitution and access-provision.

Published: November 2022

Introdução: A Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (AIDS) é uma doença crônica, de caráter pandêmico ocasionada pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV). Nos idosos, temos um fator importante no que tange o diagnóstico tardio, uma vez que com a senescência, vem os problemas inerentes à saúde do idoso, diante do mesmo, a inespecificidade dos sintomas causados pelo HIV/Aids e pelas infecções oportunistas, tornando muito complexo o diagnóstico de HIV/Aids, uma vez que ele é diferencial em último caso para muitos profissionais. Objetivo: Avaliar a percepção do conhecimento a respeito do HIV/AIDS e infecções associadas por idosos parentes próximos ou distantes de uma comunidade acadêmica de um Centro Universitário em Belém/PA. Método: Trata-se de um estudo do tipo transversal descritivo e quantitativo, com a aplicação de um questionário pré-estruturado, mediante o uso da plataforma de elaboração de formulários “Google Forms”, o qual busca avaliar o conhecimento sobre HIV/ AIDS dos pacientes idosos na faixa-etária de 60 a 80 anos parentes próximos ou distantes dos acadêmicos de medicina da UNIFAMAZ. Resultados: Ao todo foram avaliados 59 idosos, sendo 59% dos entrevistados do sexo feminino e 42% possuindo até o ensino médio, os quais responderam ao questionário de 15 questões, da qual 12 se tratavam sobre o HIV e suas complexidades e 3 sobre cunho pessoal. A respeito das perguntas referentes a forma de transmissão a maioria dos idosos, souberam responder, no que diz respeito a suscetibilidade de infecções por pessoas que convivem a HIV a maioria desconhece. Muitos acreditam que os idosos podem contrair o HIV e a maioria respondeu ao questionário que já fez sexo sem preservativo, a 27% já fez tratamento para alguma IST. Conclusão: Diante das significativas mudanças hodiernas, bem como a crescente transição demográfica da população brasileira, a preocupação quanto à sexualidade dentro da terceira idade é um tópico extremamente relevante, conforme reiterado pelo conteúdo exposto neste trabalho. Todas as formas de vivenciar o envelhecimento de forma saudável devem ser incentivadas, enquanto haja precaução e instruções para tal. O cuidado para com a sexualidade não deve ser interrompido ao findar-se a fase adulta e é importante que os pacientes idosos tenham consciência disso. Desta forma, cabe salientar a importância de ações e outros estudos que visem corroborar com melhorias no panorama aqui apresentado; seja por meio de intervenções voltadas à educação em saúde ou projetos de atenção à saúde desta população.

No documented study reports the ethnobotanical knowledge of the medicinal plants involved in the management of typhoid fever in Lubumbashi. This study aims to identify plants and recipes used by traditional medicine practitioners (TMPs) in Lubumbashi to manage typhoid fever. The cross-sectional descriptive survey was carried out on TMPs through a direct interview, making it possible to collect ethnobotanical data. Fifty TMPs consulted (sex ratio M / F = 2.5, age = 45 ± 11 years, experience: 20 ± 13 years) made it possible to list 57 plants. These taxa are mostly shrubs (52%), Microphanerophytes (52%), endemic to tropical Africa (32%), belonging to 28 botanical families dominated by Fabaceae and indicated in 47 other causes of consultation for which diarrhea comes first position. From these 57 plants derived, 67 anti-typhoid recipes were administered orally. The stem bark was the most used part (33%), and the decoction (72%) was the most common preparation method. This study reports for the first time the ethnobotanical anti-typhoidal use of 25 species, among which Ficus sur Forssk. (0.22), and Monotes katangensis DeWild (0.18) has the highest consensus indexes (CI) and Diplorhynchus condylocarpon (Müll.Arg.) Pichona (UVp = 0.19) followed by Albizia antunesiana Harmsa (0.17), the highest usual values ​​(UVp). TMPs use several plants in Lubumbashi to treat typhoid fever. Some are specific to the ecological environment, and others are used in other regions of the continent. Pharmacological studies are underway to assess the therapeutic efficacy of lesser-known plants among those listed.

Note on boundedness of the $L$-index in the direction of the composition of slice entire functions
Authors: Baksa V. P. , Bandura A. I. , Salo T. M. , Skaskiv O. B.
Published: November 2022

We study a composition of two functions belonging to a class of slice holomorphic functions in the whole $n$-dimensional complex space. The slice holomorphy in the space means that for some fixed direction $\mathbf{b}\in\mathbb{C}^n\setminus\{\mathbf{0}\}$ and for every point $z^0\in\mathbb{C}^n$ the function is holomorphic on its restriction on the slice $\{z^0+t\mathbf{b}: t\in\mathbb{C}\}.$ An additional assumption on joint continuity for these functions allows to construct an analog of theory of entire functions having bounded index. The analog is applicable to study properties of slice holomorphic solutions of directional differential equations, describe local behavior and value distribution.In particular, we found conditions providing boundedness of $L$-index in the direction $\mathbf{b}$ for a function $f(\underbrace{\Phi(z),\ldots,\Phi(z)}_{m\text{ times}}),$where $f: \mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{C}$ is a slice entire function, $\Phi: \mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{C}$ is a slice entire function,${L}: \mathbb{C}^n\to\mathbb{R}_+$ is a continuous function.The obtained results are also new in one-dimensional case, i.e. for $n=1,$ $m=1.$ They are deduced using new approach in this area analog of logarithmic criterion.For a class of nonvanishing outer functions in the composition the sufficient conditions obtained by logarithmic criterion are weaker than the conditions by the Hayman theorem.

Published: November 2022

Public schools and districts use social media to share announcements and communicate with parents and the community, but alongside such uses run risks to students’ privacy. Using a novel data set of 18 million posts on Facebook by schools and school districts in the United States, we sought to establish how frequently photos of students were shared. Through sequential mixed-methods, we estimated that around 4.9 million posts included identifiable images of students and that approximately 726,000 of these posts also included students’ first and last names and their approximate location. We discuss these findings’ implications from a data ethics perspective.

Published: November 2022

This study examined media systems and operations in Nigeria with particular attention to Nigeria’s democracy. The study provides a global perspective of media systems and operations and narrows it down to Nigeria. The researchers also examined the models of media systems and operations. Consequently, three models were identified. They are the polarised pluralist, the democratic corporatist and the liberal models. The researchers also examined the normative theories of the press that provides theoretical explanations on the relationship between the press and the government and how this affect the operations of the media. Therefore, the six theories examined were authoritative theory, the soviet communist theory, the libertarian theory, the social responsibility theory, the development media theory, and the democratic participants’ theory. The researcher links these models and theories of media systems and operations in Nigeria’s democracy and argues that Nigeria is currently practicing the liberal model with a combination of libertarian and social responsibility. It is recommended that further empirical studies should be examined to ascertain journalists’ views on the media systems and operations in Nigeria.
Differential expression of CIART in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of CIART, encoding circadian associated repressor of transcription, in the skeletal muscle of patients with ALS. CIART was also differentially expressed in the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons of patients with ALS. CIART transcript was present at significantly lower levels in ALS patient skeletal muscle as compared to control skeletal muscle. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.

We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published and public data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of HOXC9, encoding homeobox C9, in the skeletal muscle of patients with ALS. HOXC9 was also differentially expressed in the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons of patients with ALS. HOXC9 transcript was present at significantly lower levels in ALS patient skeletal muscle as compared to control skeletal muscle.

I loved Phung Cung’s poetry and memorized many of his poems written in Vietnamese. This poem, “Self-portrait”, has always been my favorite. It took me my whole courage to translate it into English. The translation was completed on September 23, 2022.
Broad effects of shallow understanding: Explaining an unrelated phenomenon exposes the illusion of explanatory depth

People often overestimate their understanding of how things work. For instance, people believe they can explain even ordinary phenomena such as the operation of zippers and speedometers in greater depth than they really can. This is called the illusion of explanatory depth. Fortunately, a person can expose the illusion by attempting to generate a causal explanation for how the phenomenon operates (e.g., how a zipper works). Researchers have assumed for two decades that explanation exposes the illusion because explanation makes salient the gaps in a person’s knowledge of that phenomenon. However, recent evidence suggests that people might be able to expose the illusion by instead explaining a different phenomenon. If true, this would challenge our fundamental understanding of how the illusion works. Across three preregistered studies we tested whether the process of explaining one phenomenon (e.g., how a zipper works) would lead someone to report knowing less about a completely different phenomenon (e.g., how snow forms). In each study we found that explaining led people to report knowing less about various phenomena, regardless of what was explained. For example, people reported knowing less about how snow forms after attempting to explain how a zipper works. We discuss alternative accounts of the illusion of explanatory depth that might better fit our results. We also consider the utility of explanation as an indirect, non-confrontational debiasing method in which a person generalizes a feeling of ignorance about one phenomenon to their knowledge base more generally.
Why Measurement Invariance is Not Necessary for Valid Group Comparisons
Authors: Robitzsch Alexander , Lüdtke Oliver
Published: November 2022

Measurement invariance is an important topic in the psychometric literature of group comparison in confirmatory factor analysis. It is frequently stated in the literature that measurement invariance is a prerequisite for the comparison of group means or standard deviations of the latent variable in a factor model. This article argues that measurement invariance is not necessary for meaningful and valid comparisons across groups. Moreover, we argue that there is unavoidable arbitrariness in how researchers can define group comparisons in the violation of invariance. In particular, there is no support for the belief that the partial invariance approach should be preferred over competing approaches such as invariance alignment, robust linking, or Bayesian approximate invariance. Furthermore, we also argue why an intentionally misspecified multiple-group factor model with diagonally weighted least squares estimation with invariant item parameters can be justified even if the measurement invariance assumption is violated.
Identifying the Emotions Behind Apologies for Severe Transgressions
Authors: West Samuel James , Thomson Nicholas D.
Published: November 2022

Interpersonal transgressions, subsequent apologies, and offered (or withheld) forgiveness hold important consequences for both perpetrators and victims. Research has focused largely on the perceptions of victims and processes that promote forgiveness in relation to transgressions of low severity. In order to extend this domain of inquiry we examined the emotional substrates that facilitate and constrain apologies for severe transgressions (i.e., murder). We collected data on the final statements from incarcerated persons on death row and applied a sentiment analysis to obtain estimates of the emotions expressed in them (i.e., anger, anticipation, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, surprise, and trust). We manually coded each statement to indicate whether it exhibited some form of apology and compared the emotions expressed in apologetic statements versus non-apologetic statements. Results indicated that overall, final statements reflected high levels of joy and trust. Similar to studies of less severe transgressions, we found that 34.40% of statements contained some form of apology. Our comparative analyses revealed that apologetic statements reflected significantly greater sadness and less anger. In regression and subsequent dominance analyses we found that sadness and anger were the most important emotions to apologizing. We also found that anger moderated the association between sadness and the likelihood of apologizing such that as anger increased the effect of sadness decreased. Taken together these findings suggest that apologies for severe transgressions involve a delicate balance between sadness and anger rather than either emotion in isolation.
Sadness, sorrow, or despair: Improving existing tasks assessing emotional granularity
Authors: Keating Connor Tom , Cook Jennifer
Published: November 2022

Some people can effortlessly pinpoint which emotion they are experiencing, for instance easily identifying butterflies in their tummy as excitement rather than nervousness, whilst others confuse their emotions. This ability to make fine-grained distinctions between emotional states- termed emotional granularity- is important for psychological adjustment and mental health. Existing tasks assessing emotional granularity require participants to translate emotional experiences into words and therefore rely heavily on language ability. In this paper, we discuss this limitation (amongst others) and introduce our novel EmoMap paradigm for assessing emotional granularity, which does not require labelling of emotional state.
The neural dynamics of feedforward and feedback interactions in predictive processing
Authors: Vinck Martin , Uran Cem , Canales-Johnson Andrés
Published: November 2022

Cortical areas are reciprocally coupled via feedforward (FF) and feedback (FB) connections that have distinct laminar profiles. Recurrent interactions between FF and FB streams may underlie context-dependent, flexible processing of sensory stimuli and the formation of predictions. Hierarchical predictive coding theories postulate that the communication of FF sensory input signals and FB predictions uses distinct frequency channels, namely gamma and alpha/beta-frequencies. Our review calls for an update of this dual-frequency theory: Empirical evidence suggests that both gamma and beta rhythms emerge during sensory and motor states characterized by high spatial and temporal predictability, in which case horizontal and top-down FB can explain away FF inputs. By contrast, broadband increases in gamma power for unpredicted stimuli likely result from increased firing rates. Recentevidence further indicates that distinct rhythms emerge in specific networks and are not consistently associated with either FF or FB influences, or with corresponding laminar compartments. Accordingly, we discuss potential functions and mechanisms of rhythms in the local circuit related to efficient coding and synaptic plasticity, rather than the inter-areal communication of FF error and FB prediction signals.
