Perceptual Decoupling in Reflexive Eye Behavior? Exploring Effects of Internal Attention on the Pupillary Light Response
Authors: Korda Ziva , Annerer-Walcher Sonja , Körner Christof , Benedek Mathias
Published: January 2023

Perceptual decoupling is an attentional mechanism that helps us maintain an internalfocus by disengaging attention from external, sensory information. Evidence for it can beseen in eye behavior, with several ocular parameters being indicative of internal versusexternal attention focus. Previous findings showed that voluntary eye movements are affectedby internal task performance, with a higher reliance on shared cognitive resources resulting ina higher degree of perceptual decoupling. However, it remains unclear whether this effectextends to reflexive eye behavior, which may not share cognitive resources with internalactivities. Therefore, the present study examined whether internal attention affects thepupillary light response (PLR). We induced PLR by a sudden increase in luminance duringthe performance of an internal task, which varied in modality (arithmetic vs. visuospatial) andworkload. We found that the PLR was not affected (e.g., attenuated) by internal attentionacross internal tasks, and workload-related increases in pupil diameter even appeareddiminished during the PLR. These findings suggest that perceptual decoupling effects may belimited to voluntary eye behavior and do not extend to reflexive eye behavior.
#Creativity: Exploring lay conceptualizations of creativity with Twitter hashtags.
Authors: Ceh Simon M. , Christensen Alexander P. , Lebuda Izabela , Benedek Mathias
Published: January 2023

Twitter has become a popular platform for sharing and discussing everyday experiences, including creativity. In this study, we explored the public conceptualization of creativity on Twitter by analyzing co-listed hashtags associated with the term #creativity in millions of tweets. Exploratory Graph Analysis was used to identify a network of semantic clusters, and a pre-trained language model yielded the sentiment of the underlying tweets. In addition, we compared the creativity-network to the network of the related concept of #innovation. The semantic clusters of #creativity reflect, on the one hand, well-known everyday creative domains focused on visual and digital arts, storytelling, and handicraft, suggesting an arts bias in the representation of creativity online. On the other hand, other semantic clusters paid tribute to the role of mindsets, teams, and imagination, feature business and innovation, and stress the importance of creativity for mental health. The network of #innovation had a higher prevalence of technological clusters relating to digital transformation in general and in specific areas, such as finance, education, design, and health. Both networks are mostly positive on the level of hashtags and underlying tweets, suggesting that these Twitter spheres highlight potential and success rather than obstacles and failure. Our study demonstrated the feasibility of leveraging online data to provide a bottom-up socio-cultural snapshot of lay conceptualizations of creativity, highlighting commonalities and differences with theorized conceptualizations of creativity.
Dynamic Retrieval of Events and Associations from Memory: An Integrated Account of Item and Associative Recognition
Authors: Cox Gregory Edward
Published: January 2023

Memory theories distinguish between item and associative information, which are engaged by different tasks: item recognition uses item information to decide whether an event occurred in a particular context; associative recognition uses associative information to decide whether two events occurred together. Associative recognition is slower and less accurate than item recognition, suggesting that item and associative information may be represented in different forms and retrieved using different processes. Instead, I show how a dynamic model (Cox & Criss, 2020; Cox & Shiffrin, 2017) accounts for accuracy and response time distributions in both item and associative recognition with the same set of representations and processes. Item and associative information are both represented as vectors of features. Item and associative recognition both depend on comparing traces in memory with probes of memory in which item and associative features gradually accumulate. Associative features are slower to accumulate, but largely because they emerge from conjunctions of already-accumulated item features. I apply the model to data from 453 participants who each performed item and associative recognition following identical study conditions (Cox et al., 2018). Comparisons among restricted versions of the model show that its account of associative feature formation, coupled with limits on the rate at which features accumulate from multiple items, explains how and why the dynamics of associative recognition differ from those of item recognition even while both tasks rely on the same underlying representations.
Africa DeepFakes Buzz: Exploring online media socio-political discourses on deepfakes- Focus on Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa.
Authors: Karanja John Maina
Published: January 2023

Deepfakes media is produced using artificial intelligence neural networks known as Generative Adversarial Networks. This AI technique has been used to combine, replace or superimpose images and videos to create controversial deepfakes videos. The emergence of deepfakes has been referred to as infopocalypse due to the difficulty the content poses to producers, publishers, and consumers of information. Recent studies in Europe, China, and the United States have reported a rise in user cynicism, apprehension, and erosion of journalists' roles. However, literature is lacking on African online media discourses on deepfakes technology and content. Using mediatization theory and reflexive inductive thematic analysis, this study sought to fill this gap by investigating socio-political discourses, perceptions, and awareness of deepfakes technology and media content in Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa. Findings indicate that, unlike the rest of the world, online media is concerned about deepfakes impact on already fragile political and security situations, particularly during the electioneering period. There are deep anxieties about the rising cases of deepfakes-instigated financial fraud, religious animosity, xenophobic attacks, and cyber-harassment. Also, even though there is a genuine effort to enumerate deepfakes usefulness through media/legal/public literacy and awareness, the general online media logic and perception are dystopian. Implications are discussed.
Theory of Natural Law and Legal Positivism: A Comparative Review of Islamic Law and Conventional Law
Authors: Ahmadi Ahmadi , Imam Abdi Anantomo Uke Laode
Published: January 2023

This article analyzes the law's pattern and debate between the theory of natural law, positivism, Islamic law, and customary law associated with the construction of its source and hierarchy. Second, the comparative perspective between Islamic Law and Conventional Law uses The Theory of Natural Law and the Positivism Theory of Law as fundamental analysis. The study used a comparative approach to know the synthetic elements of the four regular patterns. The results of this study show that, first, the Theory of Law of nature has a substantial relevance with Islamic law in aspects of its highest source, legal relationship with morals, and recognition to ratio. Legal positivism develops regulations with empirical approaches and scientific methods. Still, this idea ignores the metaphysical aspects, moral aspects, and aspects of justice in law. Customary law is a modern legal theory that substantially has a logical connection with the idea of legal positivism. Second, the Theory of Legal Positivism adheres to analytical principles by prioritizing the law.  Positivism separates the law from morals and justice. The law of nature as a classical theory requires the transformation of the law in the current era. Islamic law is a modern theory that confirms the legal character of the theory of natural law.

Published: January 2023

This study was focused on investigating drying traits and quality retention of orange pulp using Refractance Window Drying (RWD) method. The effect of RWD temperature (70, 80 and 90 °C) and orange pulp thickness (2mm and 3mm) on drying time, drying rate, moisture content, ascorbic acid and colour (L*, a*, b* and b*/a*) were studied. The moisture content of 15-25 % (wb) for intermediate moisture food like orange pestil was achieved within 50 minutes of drying. The moisture content of the final product was 18.5% (wb). The fastest and slowest drying rate was observed for the sample dried at 2mm thickness and 90°C (5.74 g/min) and the sample dried at 3mm thickness and 90°C (1.00g/min) respectively. The lowest ascorbic acid (57.15 mg/100g) was recorded for the sample dried at 2mm thickness and 70°C temperature and the highest ascorbic acid (62.05 mg/100g) was for the sample dried at 3mm thickness and 90°C temperature. The effect of pulp thickness (2mm and 3mm) and drying temperature had a considerable influence on the colour factors of orange pestil. The sample dried at 2mm thickness and 90°C has the least L* value of 57 and the samples appear brown or dark red dark in colour and sample dried at 3mm thickness and 90°C had a maximum L* value i.e., 62.96 with the bright yellow sample. Increased value of a* of orange pestil/sheet as compared to the a* value of orange pulp i.e., for orange sheet sample dried at 3mm and 90°C a* value was 10.69 showcasing an elevation in the level of redness of dried sample in comparison to the orange colour of orange puree. The b* value of dried orange pestil/sheet decreased maximum for sample dried at 3mm and 90°C i.e., 32.28. The findings revealed that RW drying is a suitable drying process that can be effectively used for the formulation of quality orange pestil preserving its nutritional as well as sensory attributes.

Published: January 2023

The field experiment comprising of 52 Gossypium hirsutum genotypes was conducted at Cotton Research Unit, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during kharif, 2017-18.Based on sucking pest infestation, physico-morphological and biochemical traits of cotton, AKH 11-7 was identified as a source of resistance against sucking pests which possessed the highest mean performance for trichome density along with desirable mean performance for total phenol content. Other parental lines viz., AKH 9916 and AKH 2012-9 exhibited higher mean performance for trichome density with one or more traits. A cross combination AKH 8828 x DHY 286 recorded maximum trichome density with minimum number of jassids/3 leaves and also exhibited higher total phenol and tannin content over the check. Other hybrids, AKH 8828 x AKH 9916, AKH 081 x AKH 2006-2 and AKH 081 x AKH 10-10 recorded higher trichome density and also showed desirable performance for one or more trait(s) viz., total phenol, tannin content and number of gossypol glands/mm2. The correlation between trichome density and number of jassids/3 leaves was negative and highly significant, whereas correlation between trichome density and number of whiteflies/3 leaves was found positive and highly significantfor parental lines and crosses. Positive and highly significant correlation was recorded between total phenol and tannin content with number of whiteflies/3 leaves in parental lines and crosses. Results revealed negative and highly significant correlation between number of whiteflies/3 leaves and number of jassids/3 leaves. Thus, these parent and hybrids may contribute to produce promising sucking pest tolerant variety/hybrids.

The embryonic development of Amur carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) throughout the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons is compared in this research work. During the regular and late breeding seasons, the study identifies the most critical features of the monsoon season that affect Amur carp embryonic development. The effects of temperature changes on embryonic development were evaluated by observing the morphological characteristics of the embryos and identifying the embryonic stages that eventually determined the impacts of temperature changes on embryonic development. According to present study, the development stages of eggs in the regular season are shorter than in the late monsoon season. Initially, eggs grow at the same time, but late monsoon eggs require more time to develop.
Failure of Democracy in Afghanistan: An Introspection of its Internal Reasons and Lessons for future prospects
Authors: Sahel Sidiqullah
Published: January 2023

Post-9/11 incident the Taliban rule ended in Afghanistan and a democratic government was established through the Bonn conference in December 2001. The conference was held with the active intervention of the US and the UN, which distributed the power amongst different ethnic groups of the country, followed by the promulgation of a democratic constitution in 2004 by the “Loya Jirga” in Kabul. The new constitution proclaimed Afghanistan as a sovereign, Islamic Republic-where the state’s legitimacy would be achieved through a universal adult franchise, and the state would ensure the fundamental rights of the citizens. But, despite all these efforts, democracy could not consolidate in the country, consequently, the Taliban returned to power after 20 years of war. Does the paper explain what led to the failure of democracy in Afghanistan? And what type of government can best suit Afghan society? The paper finds out that establishing western style strong centralized democracy and power sharing on an ethnic basis at the Bonn conference led to the marginalization of religious and tribal authenticity, which used to enjoy leverage in provinces. Also, the centralization of power resulted in corrupting government officials, which led to a widening gap between the state and society and weakened the government institutions. As a result, the Taliban after a peace agreement with the US on 29th February 2020, captured power in Kabul on 15th August 2021. The paper finds out that formulating a decentralized authority, with a mixed type of sovereignty, and aligning democratic principles with religious and tribal authority is the most feasible form of government for Afghanistan. According to Islamic scholars, there is compatibility between Islam and democracy, because Islam believes in consultation and Bay’a in state formation, and these tenets of Islam are similar to the core values of democracy namely representation, freedom of expression, and election.

The relevance of research on the use of information technologies to solve applied problems, in particular, financial policy management at the micro level has been revealed in this article. The own definition of the concept of financial policy at the enterprise level has been proposed as a triad of the main content principles, namely: asset management, cash flow management, liability management. It has been established that research in the field of financial policy is mostly theoretical, therefore the development of software module based on the model of solving a practical problem presented in the article is relevant for Ukrainian enterprises.

After structurization and determination the list of financial policy tasks, an original improvement of one of the important components in asset management, namely the task of modeling the amount of receivables, has been proposed. In order to obtain the maximum economic effect, it has been proposed to suggest to calculate the optimal level of accounts receivable. Using of the method of approximation of the non-linear dependence of receivables on the credit period, which was initiated by O. I. Luchkov, has been substantiated. The principles of the methodics have been defined, its modification and clarification have been proposed in the direction of the development of methods for calculating the numerical values of all components of the model in the article. This method allows the obtaining the optimal term of the credit period in days and the optimal amount of receivables in monetary terms.

Model experiment has been executed to test the model's operation, during which data from the financial statements of one of the operating enterprises have been used. The obtained results testify to the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed methodics are served as an information basis for management decisions regarding the assessment of the effectiveness of measures to manage the company's financial policy.

The software module has been developed that, based on the results of certain calculations, allows to make quick and well-founded decisions about balancing the structure of assets and liabilities in order to restore financial stability and increase profits.

Published: January 2023

Utilization of Drones, also known as UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles), is currently widely used to evaluate changes in land use, disasters, monitoring regional spatial planning, identifying regional changes, environmental changes, and mapping regional administrative boundaries. Administrative boundaries are boundaries or imaginary lines that are only found on maps and not on the ground in accordance with applicable legal provisions but are only marked with an object that can be recognized by the user, for example stakes, gates, walls, and so on. This study aims to provide information about the actual boundaries of the area according to the current situation and conditions by testing the level of accuracy of Drone photos and comparing them in the field. This study uses a survey method and manual interpretation. This research was conducted in parts of the administrative area of Kuantan Tengah District, namely Pasar Taluk Village and Simpang Tiga Village. The selection of the study area was due to several factors, such as the area's high population density, fast development growth, and being located in the center of Teluk Kuantan city. Aerial photos produced by the Phantom 4 Pro Drone in this study have a spatial resolution of 0.5 meters, thus providing clear and detailed object appearances that can be identified using the ArcGIS application in the Pasar Taluk Village and Simpang Tiga Village areas.

Recent Advances in Fluids and Electrolyte Management in Sepsis
Authors: Kumar Rakesh , Ramanan Ezhilarasan , Antony Irene Rose
Published: January 2023

Sepsis condition can cause life-threatening complications including organ dysfunction, circulatory failure, or mortality. Electrolyte abnormalities, including hyperkalaemia, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, and hypocalcaemia, have been observed in the later stages of sepsis due to cellular damage or ion channel dysfunction. Fluid resuscitation has been suggested as the common intervention to improve the patient’s condition when in septic shock. Fluids can help in an enhanced distribution of both intravascular and extravascular compartments, thereby increasing cardiac output. Timely fluid administration has shown improved survival rates with fewer severe microcirculatory alterations and mitochondrial dysfunctions. Fluid and electrolyte management is an effective strategy for treating sepsis but certain factors including timing, dosage, type of fluid and the health status of the individual needs to be carefully considered. Early intervention therapy seems to be effective in individuals with sepsis and has minimized the requirement for additional fluid administration. Certain aspects of fluid management including the future potentiality of dynamic fluid responsiveness and the role of albumin administration in sepsis treatment still need to be clarified. This review focuses on the updated management strategies that can be used for fluid and electrolyte management in individuals with sepsis.
Keywords: Sepsis; Fluid resuscitation; electrolyte replacement therapy; albumin; intravenous therapy; septic shock
Highlights

In patients with sepsis, fluid resuscitation has been an effective intervention and earlier administration of therapy has minimized the need for additional fluid administration.

Future research lends scope for improvement and advancements in electrolyte replacement therapy, effects of resuscitation, the effectiveness of fluid responsiveness and role of albumin in fluid management.

Authors: Santana Edilânia Maciel , Rodrigues Ana Paula
Published: January 2023

A educação especial existe dentro de uma proposta inclusiva. No campo da educação, a inclusão está, atualmente, no foco da discussão que envolve o processo de reforma e de reestruturação das instituições educacionais para atender alunos com deficiências. Por mais que o atendimento destes alunos seja preferencial na rede regular, a legislação educacional considera, também, a necessidade da existência de um atendimento especializado, pois, muitas vezes, a realidade da escola não permite proporcionar o desenvolvimento deste educando. Nesse sentido, o artigo traz a seguinte questão norteadora: em uma proposta inclusiva, qual a contribuição do pedagogo especializado em Educação Especial na era da inclusão? Tendo como objetivo, refletir sobre a presença do pedagogo especializado em Educação Especial nas escolas regulares. Para alcançar o objetivo em questão, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica. Deste modo, foram selecionados periódicos científicos da área, publicados em bibliotecas digitais do Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library) e Capes (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior). A seleção foi realizada pela temática, palavras-chave e resumo. Mediante a realização do estudo, notou-se que a educação especial no ensino regular precisa ser revista, pois o aluno deficiente é inserido em sala de aula sem a devida inclusão, o que, na maioria das vezes, dificulta o desenvolvimento de suas habilidades e competências, sendo aprovado para o próximo ano mesmo estando inapto. Conclui-se que o pedagogo especializado pode contribuir significativamente para o desenvolvimento das habilidades e competências dos alunos com deficiência, uma vez que a especialização prepara o pedagogo com conhecimento, metodologias e recursos adequados para uma atuação eficiente.

Published: January 2023

Preliminary analysis is the inspection, scrutiny and analysis conducted on data before main analysis, to detect, manage and correct/treat errors. Preliminary analysis helps in data screening, cleaning, initial examination and correcting/treating incorrect entries, identify outliers, missing values and to identify other unusual entries in dataset. Although, preliminary analysis is vital in academic research, majority of researchers partially report, or entirely do not perform and report this stage in their studies. Evading this critical stage of research could lead to poor quality and incorrectness of the research results and misinterpretation due to under or over inflation of statistical results. Unexpectedly, the review of the extant literature discovered that there is scarcity of studies that have been conducted and reported on preliminary analysis. This has limited scholars, educators and other stakeholders in understanding the importance of conducting and reporting preliminary analysis in enhancing reliability and accuracy of research results, findings, interpretation and implications. Consequently, this research filled in these gaps by developing a framework and providing empirical evidence on these issues. This would be of great benefits to the academic world. Thus, the results indicated that the data had met all the criteria and assumptions for multivariate analysis after statistical analysis and treatment. Thus, it is recommended that studies in entrepreneurship, social sciences, management and other related disciplines should apply and follow this procedure to help in meeting the criteria for multivariate data analysis.

Cancer statistics, 2023

Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States and compiles the most recent data on population‐based cancer occurrence and outcomes using incidence data collected by central cancer registries and mortality data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. In 2023, 1,958,310 new cancer cases and 609,820 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States. Cancer incidence increased for prostate cancer by 3% annually from 2014 through 2019 after two decades of decline, translating to an additional 99,000 new cases; otherwise, however, incidence trends were more favorable in men compared to women. For example, lung cancer in women decreased at one half the pace of men (1.1% vs. 2.6% annually) from 2015 through 2019, and breast and uterine corpus cancers continued to increase, as did liver cancer and melanoma, both of which stabilized in men aged 50 years and older and declined in younger men. However, a 65% drop in cervical cancer incidence during 2012 through 2019 among women in their early 20s, the first cohort to receive the human papillomavirus vaccine, foreshadows steep reductions in the burden of human papillomavirus‐associated cancers, the majority of which occur in women. Despite the pandemic, and in contrast with other leading causes of death, the cancer death rate continued to decline from 2019 to 2020 (by 1.5%), contributing to a 33% overall reduction since 1991 and an estimated 3.8 million deaths averted. This progress increasingly reflects advances in treatment, which are particularly evident in the rapid declines in mortality (approximately 2% annually during 2016 through 2020) for leukemia, melanoma, and kidney cancer, despite stable/increasing incidence, and accelerated declines for lung cancer. In summary, although cancer mortality rates continue to decline, future progress may be attenuated by rising incidence for breast, prostate, and uterine corpus cancers, which also happen to have the largest racial disparities in mortality.

Introducción: En relación con la creciente digitalización y las expectativas de los clientes, la logística de la venta al por menor en el sector turístico ha adquirido un papel muy importante y significativo ahora y en el futuro. Esto significa que, sin una buena estrategia y un concepto bien pensado, no hay una logística comercial que funcione correctamente para la industria o el comercio. Objetivo: diagnosticar el proceso logístico comercial en la entidad minorista ``Las Arenas´´ en el destino turístico Guardalavaca. Metodología: Se utilizaron métodos y técnicas entre los que se incluyen: el análisis y la síntesis, inducción-deducción, encuestas, observación directa y la aplicación de un procedimiento donde se realizó un diagnóstico interno y externo. El procedimiento propuesto por Ferrer & Castellano (2014), parte en primer lugar de la evaluación periódica del sistema logístico, en la cual se determina si existen dificultades en la gestión de este, si no existen problemas se continúa con la evaluación periódica, en caso contrario, se pasa a la realización del diagnóstico de cada uno de los elementos del sistema logístico. Resultados: El análisis realizado en la entidad minorista ``Las Arenas´´ demostró que el proceso logístico aún presenta deficiencias, no solo en esta entidad sino en todo el sistema logístico nacional. Esto queda reflejado con el uso del procedimiento utilizado por Ferrer & Castellano (2014), el cual, aunque ya pasaron muchos años, es objeto de estudio para el diagnóstico de los procesos logísticos en diferentes instalaciones. Conclusión: Se concluye que el artículo científico demostró que el procedimiento utilizado logro diagnosticar el proceso logístico comercial en esta entidad minorista. La aplicación de las acciones propuestas le permitirá a la tienda perfeccionar la gestión logística de su sistema.

Objetivo: O objetivo desta revisão sistemática foi analisar a necessidade de suspender ou não, antes de exodontias, o uso dos novos anticoagulantes orais (NOACs), através da elaboração de uma revisão sistemática. Materiais e Métodos: Através da estratégica PICO, os critérios PRISMA-2020 foram estruturados na questão “Qual a conduta a ser adotada por cirurgiões-dentistas para os indivíduos em uso de novos anticoagulantes orais e que precisam de exodontias?". Os artigos foram obtidos nas bases de dados eletrônicas Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Embase, Lilacs, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science. Foram selecionados os estudos completos que englobam o uso de Apixabana, Dabigatrana, Edoxabana e Rivaroxabana. Resultados: Foram encontrados um total de 2.281 estudos. Os estudos selecionados para leitura na íntegra foram 100, dos quais 99 foram descartados pela incompatibilidade com os critérios de inclusão. Por fim, para a pesquisa foi incluído apenas 1 artigo para estudo. A avaliação do nível de evidência identificou risco moderado de viés. Conclusão: Através da análise do estudo selecionado, o qual apresentou risco de viés moderado, concluiu-se que pacientes que fazem uso dos NOACs que serão submetidos a exodontias não necessitam suspender o uso do medicamento no pré-operatório, desde que os protocolos estabelecidos sejam seguidos, alertando para o uso de manobras locais de hemostasia e controle pós-operatório mais recorrente. Sugere-se a suspensão dos NOACs em exodontias múltiplas ou em demais situações que se espera maior sangramento.

Produtos destinados à assepsia de cães portadores de conjuntivite são utilizados na limpeza periorbitária para retirar secreção e excesso de lágrima. Habitualmente, utilizam-se produtos quimicamente modificados, buscando evitar irritação local ou rejeição dos animais à sua utilização. Um dos fatores limitantes é o odor, em face desse sentido ser muito aguçado em cães. Produtos de componentes naturais têm mais facilidade de aceitação pelos animais e devem ter ação antisséptica ampla, evitando irritação dos olhos além de reduzir proliferação microbiana e de ectoparasitas. Determinamos a tolerância de cães domésticos a uma solução de goma guar em óleo de melaleuca, compostos com ampla utilização em humanos e animais, com segurança documentada. Aplicamos solução de goma guar com melaleuca à 1% (Eyepet®) em 30 animais selecionados aleatoriamente, com supervisão de seus tutores. Todos os animais tiveram ótima tolerabilidade, sem qualquer sinal de irritação local ou toxicidade sistêmica. Ainda que o senso comum indicasse que a solução de goma guar-melaleuca seria bem tolerada, nossos resultados são relevantes por confirmar a segurança do uso dessa solução para a assepsia periorbitária de cães.
