The role of sleep for memory consolidation: does sleep protect memories from retroactive interference?
Authors: Abel Magdalena , Nickl Anna T. , Reßle Anna , Unger Carmen , Bäuml Karl-Heinz T.
Published: June 2023

Numerous studies suggest that sleep benefits memory. A major theoretical question in this area is however if sleep does so by passively shielding memories from interference that arises during wakefulness or by actively stabilizing and strengthening memories. A key finding by Ellenbogen et al. Current Biology, 16, 1290–1294 (2006a) indicates that sleep can protect memories from retroactive interference, which suggests that sleep plays more than a passive role for memory consolidation. Sample size in this study was however small and subsequent reports in the literature provided mixed results. We therefore conducted an online study via Zoom to replicate Ellenbogen et al. Current Biology, 16, 1290–1294 (2006a). Subjects were asked to study paired associates. After a 12-h delay that included either nocturnal sleep or daytime wakefulness, half of all subjects were asked to study an additional list to elicit retroactive interference. All participants were then asked to complete a memory test for the studied list(s). The results were fully consistent with those reported by Ellenbogen et al. Current Biology, 16, 1290–1294 (2006a). We discuss this successful replication against the background of the mixed literature, with a focus on the possibly critical role of study-design features, like the use of high learning criteria that resulted in performance being at ceiling, or a confound between interference and the length of the retention interval. A collaborative replication effort may be needed to reach a straightfoward answer to the question if sleep protects memories from interference (and under what conditions).

Interest in the psychology of misinformation has exploded in recent years. Despite ample research, to date there is no validated framework to measure misinformation susceptibility. Therefore, we introduce Verificationdone, a nuanced interpretation schema and assessment tool that simultaneously considers Veracity discernment, and its distinct, measurable abilities (real/fake news detection), and biases (distrust/naïvité—negative/positive judgment bias). We then conduct three studies with seven independent samples (Ntotal = 8504) to show how to develop, validate, and apply the Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST). In Study 1 (N = 409) we use a neural network language model to generate items, and use three psychometric methods—factor analysis, item response theory, and exploratory graph analysis—to create the MIST-20 (20 items; completion time < 2 minutes), the MIST-16 (16 items; < 2 minutes), and the MIST-8 (8 items; < 1 minute). In Study 2 (N = 7674) we confirm the internal and predictive validity of the MIST in five national quota samples (US, UK), across 2 years, from three different sampling platforms—Respondi, CloudResearch, and Prolific. We also explore the MIST’s nomological net and generate age-, region-, and country-specific norm tables. In Study 3 (N = 421) we demonstrate how the MIST—in conjunction with Verificationdone—can provide novel insights on existing psychological interventions, thereby advancing theory development. Finally, we outline the versatile implementations of the MIST as a screening tool, covariate, and intervention evaluation framework. As all methods are transparently reported and detailed, this work will allow other researchers to create similar scales or adapt them for any population of interest.
Perceived similarity as a window into representations of integrated sentence meaning
Authors: Arana Sophie , Hagoort Peter , Schoffelen Jan-Mathijs , Rabovsky Milena
Published: June 2023

When perceiving the world around us, we are constantly integrating pieces of information. The integrated experience consists of more than just the sum of its parts. For example, visual scenes are defined by a collection of objects as well as the spatial relations amongst them and sentence meaning is computed based on individual word semantic but also syntactic configuration. Having quantitative models of such integrated representations can help evaluate cognitive models of both language and scene perception. Here, we focus on language, and use a behavioral measure of perceived similarity as an approximation of integrated meaning representations. We collected similarity judgments of 200 subjects rating nouns or transitive sentences through an online multiple arrangement task. We find that perceived similarity between sentences is most strongly modulated by the semantic action category of the main verb. In addition, we show how non-negative matrix factorization of similarity judgment data can reveal multiple underlying dimensions reflecting both semantic as well as relational role information. Finally, we provide an example of how similarity judgments on sentence stimuli can serve as a point of comparison for artificial neural networks models (ANNs) by comparing our behavioral data against sentence similarity extracted from three state-of-the-art ANNs. Overall, our method combining the multiple arrangement task on sentence stimuli with matrix factorization can capture relational information emerging from integration of multiple words in a sentence even in the presence of strong focus on the verb.

The Arctic regions of Russia are primarily focused on the extraction of raw materials, and the mining sector has witnessed an increase in added value in recent years. On average, 84% of taxes and fees contributed to the budget system of the Russian Federation originate from the Arctic’s mining sector, which highlights the importance of analyzing the activities of this sector. This article aims to assess the industrial potential of the mining sector in the Russian regions located in the Arctic zone. Such an assessment identifies the potential uses of a combination of resources to enhance the economic development of these regions. The study employed various theoretical methods such as generalization, comparison, and systematization, along with empirical analysis including statistical observation and graphical interpretation. The research draws upon scientific publications related to the industrial potential of Russian regions, utilizing data from the Federal State Statistics Service to evaluate the mining sector's potential in the Arctic regions. The article discusses the advantages and limitations of current methodologies for ranking Russian regions based on the industrial potential of the mining sector. Building upon the study, a comprehensive methodology is proposed, which involves assessing the industrial potential of the mining sector through the calculation of indices based on 17 indicators grouped into five domains: materials and technology, innovation and investment, finance, labor, and infrastructure. The proposed methodology was applied to analyze the industrial potential of the mining sector in four Russian regions located within the Arctic zone for the period from 2017 to 2021. The findings indicate that the Murmansk region exhibits the highest industrial potential in Russia’s Arctic mining sector,with the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug ranking second. The Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug display relatively low potential in the mining sector.

CRIMES CIBERNÉTICOS E A VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A MULHER: A LEGISLAÇÃO BRASILEIRA NO COMBATE AOS ATAQUES VIRTUAIS
Authors: Guimarães Gabriela Freitas , Stefanini Marília Rulli
Published: June 2023

Na atualidade, os crimes cibernéticos contra mulheres são uma preocupação crescente na era digital. Esses tipos de crimes podem incluir assédio online, perseguição, divulgação não autorizada de imagens íntimas (conhecida como "pornografia de vingança"), sextorsão, cyberbullying e outras formas de violência digital direcionadas especificamente às mulheres. As mulheres, muitas vezes, enfrentam uma maior quantidade de assédio online e outros tipos de violência virtual devido a diferentes fatores, como o sexismo e a misoginia, que ainda existem na sociedade. Além disso, as mulheres também podem ser alvo de fraudes online, roubo de identidade e outros crimes cibernéticos semelhantes. Dentro desse sentido, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi elucidar a incidência da evolução tecnológica correlacionada com a problemática delituosa trazida por esta, com enfoque nos crimes cometidos no ambiente virtual especialmente contra mulheres. Para este fim, foi utilizada a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica, na busca de alcançar questões jurídicas que previnam ou que possam inibir essas práticas que ocasionam tantas mazelas a integridade física e psíquica da vítima. Conclui-se que embora a legislação tenha evoluído junto com a expansão da tecnologia, essa ainda precisa de integração e desenvolvimento para regular adequadamente os crimes online, especialmente contra o gênero feminino, haja vista que este público se tornou o principal alvo dos cybercriminosos.
Energy Demand Prediction Based on Deep Learning Techniques
Authors: Swide Sarab , Marhoon Ali
Published: June 2023

The development of renewable resources and the deregulation of the market have made forecasting energy demand more critical in recent years. Advanced intelligent models are created to ensure accurate power projections for several time horizons to address new difficulties. Intelligent forecasting algorithms are a fundamental component of smart grids and a powerful tool for reducing uncertainty in order to make more cost- and energy-efficient decisions about generation scheduling, system reliability and power optimization, and profitable smart grid operations. However, since many crucial tasks of power operators, such as load dispatch, rely on short-term forecasts, prediction accuracy in forecasting algorithms is highly desired. This essay suggests a model for estimating Denmark’s power use that can precisely forecast the month’s demand. In order to identify factors that may have an impact on the pattern of a number of unique qualities in the city direct consumption of electricity. The current paper also demonstrates how to use an ensemble deep learning technique and Random forest to dramatically increase prediction accuracy. In addition to their ensemble, we showed how well the individual Random forest performed.
Theoretical Water Binding Energy Distribution and Snowline in Protoplanetary Disks
Authors: Tinacci Lorenzo , Germain Aurèle , Pantaleone Stefano , Ceccarelli Cecilia , Balucani Nadia , Ugliengo Piero
Published: June 2023

Water is one of the most important and abundant molecules in star-forming regions. In protoplanetary disks, where planets and comets form, H2O is in a gas or solid form, depending on the dust temperature, i.e., the distance from the center and its binding energy (BE). Not surprisingly, several experimental and theoretical studies of the H2O BE have been published. We report new ab initio calculations carried out on a large model of interstellar ice, where we identified 144 different adsorption sites. The BE associated with those sites ranges between 14.2 kJ mol−1 (1705 K) and 61.6 kJ mol−1 (7390 K). The distribution of the computed BEs as a function of BE follows a Gaussian peaked at 35.4 kJ mol−1 (4230 K) with a standard deviation of 9.7 kJ mol−1 (1160 K). The computed pre-exponential factor (ν) ranges between 9 × 1012 and 6 × 1014 s−1. We evaluated the impact of the newly calculated BE and ν distributions on the snowline of a generic protoplanetary disk. We found that the region where water is frozen onto the ice is much smaller (a factor of 10 smaller radius) than that computed with the single BE (5600 K) and ν (2 × 1012 s−1) values commonly adopted by astrochemical models. Besides, ∼10% of water remains frozen in relatively warm (∼150 K) regions, where the single BE and ν model would predict a full release of the ice in the gas phase. This last aspect may have an impact on the quantity trapped in the planetesimals eventually forming rocky planets.
An Updated Dust-to-Star Geometry: Dust Attenuation Does Not Depend on Inclination in 1.3 ≤z ≤2.6 Star-forming Galaxies from MOSDEF

We investigate dust attenuation and its dependence on viewing angle for 308 star-forming galaxies at 1.3 ≤ z ≤ 2.6 from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field survey. We divide galaxies with a detected Hα emission line and coverage of Hβ into eight groups by stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and inclination (i.e., axis ratio), and we then stack their spectra. From each stack, we measure the Balmer decrement and gas-phase metallicity, and then we compute the median A
V and UV continuum spectral slope (β). First, we find that none of the dust properties (Balmer decrement, A
V, or β) varies with the axis ratio. Second, both stellar and nebular attenuation increase with increasing galaxy mass, showing little residual dependence on SFR or metallicity. Third, nebular emission is more attenuated than stellar emission, and this difference grows even larger at higher galaxy masses and SFRs. Based on these results, we propose a three-component dust model in which attenuation predominantly occurs in star-forming regions and large, dusty star-forming clumps, with minimal attenuation in the diffuse ISM. In this model, nebular attenuation primarily originates in clumps, while stellar attenuation is dominated by star-forming regions. Clumps become larger and more common with increasing galaxy mass, creating the above mass trends. Finally, we argue that a fixed metal yield naturally leads to mass regulating dust attenuation. Infall of low-metallicity gas increases the SFR and lowers the metallicity, but leaves the dust column density mostly unchanged. We quantify this idea using the Kennicutt–Schmidt and fundamental metallicity relations, showing that galaxy mass is indeed the primary driver of dust attenuation.
Cosmological-scale Lyα Forest Absorption around Galaxies and AGNs Probed with the HETDEX and SDSS Spectroscopic Data

We present cosmological-scale three-dimensional neutral hydrogen (H i) tomographic maps at z = 2–3 over a total of 837 deg2 in two blank fields that are developed with Lyα forest absorptions of 14,736 background Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasars at z = 2.08–3.67. Using the tomographic maps, we investigate the large-scale (≳10 h
−1 cMpc) average H i radial profiles and two-direction profiles of the line-of-sight (LOS) and transverse directions around galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z = 2–3 identified by the Hobby–Eberly Telescope Dark Energy eXperiment survey and SDSS, respectively. The peak of the H i radial profile around galaxies is lower than the one around AGNs, suggesting that the dark matter halos of galaxies are less massive on average than those of AGNs. The LOS profile of AGNs is narrower than the transverse profile, indicating the Kaiser effect. There exist weak absorption outskirts at ≳30 h
−1 cMpc beyond H i structures of galaxies and AGNs found in the LOS profiles that can be explained by the H i gas at ≳30 h
−1 cMpc falling toward the source position. Our findings indicate that the H i radial profile of AGNs has transitions from proximity zones (≲a few h
−1 cMpc) to the H i structures (∼1–30 h
−1 cMpc) and the weak absorption outskirts (≳30 h
−1 cMpc). Although there is no significant dependence of AGN types (type 1 vs. type 2) on the H i profiles, the peaks of the radial profiles anticorrelate with AGN luminosities, suggesting that AGNs’ ionization effects are stronger than the gas mass differences.
You Are What You Eat: The Circumgalactic Medium around BreakBRD Galaxies Has Low Mass and Angular Momentum
Authors: Tonnesen Stephanie , DeFelippis Daniel , Tuttle Sarah
Published: June 2023

Observed breakBRD (“break bulges in red disks”) galaxies are a nearby sample of face-on disk galaxies with particularly centrally concentrated star formation: they have red disks but recent star formation in their centers as measured by the D
n
4000 spectral index. In Kopenhafer et al., a comparable population of breakBRD analogs was identified in the TNG simulation, in which the central concentration of star formation was found to reflect a central concentration of dense, star-forming gas caused by a lack of dense gas in the galaxy outskirts. In this paper, we examine the circumgalactic medium of the central breakBRD analogs to determine if the extended halo gas also shows differences from that around comparison galaxies with comparable stellar mass. We examine the circumgalactic medium gas mass, specific angular momentum, and metallicity in these galaxy populations. We find less gas in the circumgalactic medium of breakBRD galaxies, and that the breakBRD circumgalactic medium is slightly more concentrated than that of comparable M
* galaxies. In addition, we find that the angular momentum in the circumgalactic medium of breakBRD galaxies tends to be low for their stellar mass, and shows more misalignment to the angular momentum vector of the stellar disk. Finally, we find that the circumgalactic medium metallicity of breakBRD galaxies tends to be high for their stellar mass. Together with their low star formation rate, we argue that these circumgalactic medium properties indicate a small amount of disk feeding concentrated in the central regions and a lack of low-metallicity gas accretion from the intergalactic medium.

We determine an age of ∼6.10 ± 2.2 Gyr from our recent Age-Rotation relations. This is compatible with its low metallicity ([Fe/H] ∼ −0.59 ± 0.1 dex), weak coronal/chromospheric X-ray/FUV emissions, and space motions. We also determine the photodissociating/photoionizing X-ray-UV irradiances from Chandra and ROSAT X-ray and HST/FUV observations. Like most HZ-planets hosted by M-dwarfs, these irradiances are much higher than Earth's and are detrimental to the planet's atmosphere retention, water inventories, and habitability. A strong geomagnetic field could mitigate atmospheric erosion, permitting life to develop.

Published: June 2023

The need of biomarkers predicting the course of MTB infection, and the necessity of specific therapy, is well recognized. We measured the induced expression of effector and regulatory cytokines IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-17, IL-6, IL-10 in relation to the lipid mediators PGE2 and LXA4 in: active TB infection (ATB, n=15) before and after therapy (ATB-T, n=6); established latent infection (LTBI, n=22), recent contacts of ATB (RC, n=12); and healthy controls (n=11) A flow cytometry microarray (CBA, BD Biosciences) and quantitative ELISA (SunRed Tech.) were employed. RC were characterized by a high potential for IL-17 and Th1 cytokine secretion, combined with low IL-6 expression, while ATB donors had a partially preserved TNF-α potential, and higher IL-6 expression. PGE2 /LXA4 ratio discriminated between situations with high bacterial load (ATB), and contained infection (LTBI, ATB-T), and defined clearly-cut subgroups among RC and ATB donors. Our results propose that increased PGE2/LXA4 ratio coupled with high induced IL-10 level indicates infection after a recent contact. In the settings of ATB, increased ratio and low TNF-α level point to inefficient granuloma formation in the settings of ATB.
Study on the influence of Chinese traditional culture on corporate environmental responsibility
Authors: Huang Shan , Huat Khor Teik , Liu Yue
Published: June 2023

In accordance with the theory of informal institutions, culture exerts a crucial influence on the enactment of corporate social responsibility. Based on the two core variables of Chinese traditional culture and corporate environmental responsibility, we designed a panel data model to investigate the impact of Chinese traditional culture on corporate environmental responsibility and its heterogeneity. The findings indicate the following: 1) Chinese traditional culture can promote the performance of corporate environmental responsibility. 2) Chinese traditional culture has a heterogeneous influence on the environmental responsibility of enterprises that depends on the ownership difference of enterprises; that is, the influence of traditional culture on the environmental responsibility of state-owned enterprises is stronger than that of non-state-owned enterprises. 3) Chinese traditional culture has a heterogeneous influence on the environmental responsibility of enterprises according to the difference in industrial pollution levels; that is, traditional culture has a positive correlation with the environmental responsibility of enterprises in heavily polluting industries and a negative correlation with non-heavily polluting industries. 4) Chinese traditional culture has a heterogeneous influence on corporate environmental responsibility according to geographical differences; that is to say, traditional culture promotes the development of corporate environmental responsibility in the central and western regions, and vice versa in the eastern regions.

Published: June 2023

Presentamos evidencias materiales e interpretaciones relacionadas con la presencia de técnicas de tradición europea dentro de la arquitectura de asentamientos coloniales tardíos vinculados con la minería en la Puna de Jujuy. Fueron considerados el derrame en aberturas, arcos y falsos arcos en la resolución de vanos y nichos, y aparejos en espina de pez. El objetivo consistió en caracterizar las técnicas, identificar las maneras en que se incorporaron en los asentamientos, es decir en qué espacios y contextos fueron dispuestos, y proponer interpretaciones acerca de los modos en que participaron en las relaciones entre las poblaciones indígenas-mestizas y agentes hispanos. El estudio está basado principalmente en sitios ubicados en las localidades de Antiguyoc, Ajedrez y Santo Domingo, las cuales en el último cuarto del siglo XVIII formaban parte del curato de Rinconada. Además, incluimos asentamientos mineros próximos y contemporáneos ubicados en el valle de Coyahuaima, que dependían jurisdiccionalmente del corregimiento de Atacama.
Elicitation and experimentation: implications for English sociolinguistics
Authors: Morin Cameron , Basile Carmelo Alessandro
Published: June 2023

Dans une récente discussion au sujet de la crise de la reproductibilité et ses conséquences pour la linguistique, Grieve (2021) soutient de manière convaincante que la complexité du langage en tant que phénomène social limite par essence la capacité des linguistes à étudier des variables telles que la variété de langue ou le dialecte à l’aide d’approches expérimentales par opposition à des approches observationnelles. Grieve évoque une propension sociologique de certains linguistes à désirer l’expérimentation, vue comme l’approche empirique optimale et supérieure pour étudier le langage. Cette propension s’accompagne d’une dévaluation fallacieuse de l’approche observationnelle, et résulte en un état de faits indésirable pour l’avenir de la discipline. Dans cet article, nous nous appuyons sur les remarques de Grieve et étudions certaines de leurs conséquences pour de futures études en sociolinguistique et dialectologie anglaises, portant en particulier sur la variation grammaticale à l’aide de méthodologies d’élicitation. Nous soutenons que la délimitation de l’élicitation comme concept distinct de la dichotomie observation/expérimentation permet d’éviter une confusion entre élicitation structurée de données et expérimentation. Nous soutenons aussi que la recherche dans ces branches de la sociolinguistique gagnerait à continuer d’ouvertement accepter la nature fondamentalement observationnelle de ses résultats, et à utiliser la terminologie expérimentale avec grande précaution, dans le cadre d’une approche scientifique qui met au jour des rapports qui font substance dans le monde tels que la variation dans la pratique sociale du langage, plutôt que la description directe de rapports causaux. Nous illustrons nos arguments à l’aide de deux études de cas en anglais : une étude exploratoire de jugements d’acceptabilité des doubles modaux dans le sud-est de l’Angleterre, ainsi qu’un questionnaire sociolinguistique sur l’usage des modaux de nécessité en anglais de Singapour.

Jouant un rôle indéniable dans l’accès à l’information, les algorithmes de recommandation visent à faciliter la navigation des usagers en leur recommandant les contenus les plus « pertinents » selon une série de critères sélectionnés par leurs concepteurs. En même temps, ces dispositifs participent au fonctionnement économique de ces plateformes en favorisant la captation et la rétention de l’attention des usagers de ces services. Il apparaît dès lors crucial de mieux comprendre les enjeux sociaux que posent ces technologies. Dans la mesure où le public des jeunes Bruxellois s’informe principalement par le biais des réseaux socionumériques, le projet ALG-OPINION s’est intéressé à la manière dont ils se représentent le fonctionnement de ces technologies ainsi qu'aux pratiques médiatiques qu'ils développent à leur contact.

Maria Aurèlia Capmany reescriptora: de Traduït de l’americà a Ves-te’n ianqui o, si voleu, traduït de l’americà
Authors: Simbor Roig Vicent
Published: June 2023

El present article té com a objectiu analitzar amb atenció el procés de reescriptura que Maria Aurèlia Capmany va fer de la seua novel·la curta Traduït de l’americà (1959) per a transformar-la en la novel·la Ves-te’n ianqui o, si voleu, traduït de l’americà (1980). Hi ha, doncs, un procés d’«allargament» del text original que permet doblar-ne l’extensió. A partir dels estudis de la crítica textual genètica francesa o de les variants italiana i, sobretot, de les aportacions dels estudis generals sobre la intertextualitat i dels estudis de Genette sobre la hipertextualitat el present article mostra els recursos que han permès un canvi de subgènere (de la nouvelle a la novel·la), la modificació del relat (l’estructura, amb la segmentació en capítols parells i imparells, i els canvis en la tipologia del narrador autodiegètic) així com també les innovacions en la història (aparició de nous personatges i de nous motius). En les conclusions es fa un balanç de les conseqüències de tal remodelació.
La fidelidad al espíritu de dos lenguas: las autotraducciones de Antoni Marí
Authors: Poch Olivé Dolors
Published: June 2023

L’objectiu del present treball és estudiar les estratègies autotraductològiques utilitzades per Antoni Marí a la seva versió al castellà de El vas de plata / El vaso de plata i El camí de Vincennes / El camino de Vincennes. L’autor busca restar fidel a l’«esperit» del català i també a l’«esperit» de l’espanyol per evitar les presència de marques del text original català en els textes castellans. L’article analitza els canvis introduits a les versions espanyoles i la «gestió» del ritme en les dues autotraduccions perquè el ritme és una de les manifestacions més importants de l’«esperit» de les llengües.
De La novel·la de Palmira (1952) a Les ruïnes de Palmira (1972). Procediments i motivacions de la reescriptura de Llorenç Villalonga
Authors: Gregori Soldevila Carme
Published: June 2023

L’œuvre de Llorenç Villalonga se caractérise par le changement continu des titres et par la révision constante des œuvres, avec l’introduction de nouveaux chapitres ou personnages et des modifications du texte original. Plus précisément, le titre La novel·la de Palmira (1952) a été remplacé par Les ruïnes de Palmira (1972), et l’auteur a ajouté quatre chapitres, en plus d'apporter d'autres modifications, dans la troisième édition de l'ouvrage, réalisé par Club editor. En outre, deux des chapitres originaux et deux des ajouts dérivent de Desbarats antérieurs. L'article reconstitue l’histoire éditoriale de l'édition révisée du roman, à partir de la correspondance entre l’auteur et l'éditeur, et analyse les deux versions et les desbarats antérieurs sous l’angle des relations hypertextuelles, suivant essentiellement la proposition de Gérard Genette, afin de étudier les types de transformations effectuées.
Educommunicative Strategies for Inclusion
Authors: Galasso Bruno , Carmo Adriano
Published: June 2023

Educommunication actions can be applied in different contexts through appropriate strategies for each target audience, especially in favor of the inclusion of people with disabilities. The present work aims to present the actions developed with the scholarship holders (students who accompany students with disabilities) of the Center for Assistance to People with Specific Needs (NAPNE) of the Federal Institute of Brasilia (IFB). From the action research, and using the online tool PowToon, 12 animations were developed for students, teachers, and administrative technicians about intellectual, physical, visual, and auditory disabilities. The project has impacted at the following levels: 1) individual, enabling educommunicators to know about accessibility and inclusion policies; 2) community, allowing an awareness of the receiving community of educommunication products; and 3) specific, allowing the representation of the deficiencies and specificities addressed.
Influences of a Professional Development Program on Teachers' Attitudes Towards Educational Technology and Digital Learning Resources for Inclusion
Authors: Cameron David Lansing , Matre Marianne E. , Canrinus Esther Tamara
Published: June 2023

The goal of this study was to examine the impact of a professional development program on teachers' attitudes towards educational technology and the perceived benefits of digital learning resources for inclusion. The content of the program focused on how technology can be used to create more inclusive learning environments. Findings indicate a decline in attitudes from the beginning to the end of the program. The authors explore several possible explanations for this decline, including the pressures of the Corona pandemic and a simultaneous national curriculum reform, a possible discrepancy between initial expectations and later experiences with the technology, and a possible reactance effect or “backlash” against the ambitious goals of the program. In addition, variables related to previous experience and teacher efficacy predicted attitudes to some degree, offering indications of factors to consider when preparing future professional development efforts in this area.

Published: June 2023

Non-communicable diseases are chronic metabolic diseases increasing rapidly around the world. Evaluation of natural food sources in terms of controlling or preventing non-communicable diseases is an immerging research area in food science and nutrition schemes. Traditional rice varieties are one of the food commodities currently becoming popular among health-conscious consumers, as they provide health benefits through bioactive compounds or functional food ingredients other than a variety of nutrients. This study aimed to assess the nutritional and functional properties of selected 20 traditional rice varieties in Sri Lanka. Proximate composition was analyzed for raw rice samples. Methanolic extracts of rice were analyzed for total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), carotenoid content (TC), antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties. In vitro gastrointestinal digestion was performed to evaluate the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. Rice samples with higher anti-diabetic properties were tested for a postprandial glycemic response using healthy individuals. The results indicated fresh methanolic extracts of Rath Kadha had the significantly (p<0.05) highest TPC (9.94±0.01mgGAE/g FW) and TC (2.27±0.06 mg/g FW), Beheth Heenati have the highest DPPH% inhibition (84.93±0.81%), Sudu Heenati had the significantly (p<0.05) highest TFC (16.77±0.01mg RE/g FW), anti-diabetic properties (59.54±0.02%) and anti-inflammatory properties (65.85±0.01%). Among the rice varieties subjected to in vitro digestion, Suwadel showed highest significant (p<0.05) TPC (0.45±0.02 mg GAE/g FW) and TFC (2.01±0.02 mgRE/g FW), Ma Vee showed the highest TC (0.24±0.015 mg/g FW) and Pachchaperumal showed the highest DPPH% inhibition (61.77±0.02%) in the gastric phase. In the intestinal Phase Sudu Heenati showed the highest TPC (0.99±0.04 mgGAE/g FW), Ma Vee showed the highest TFC (0.8±0.01 mgRE/g FW) and TC (3.24±0.04 mg/g FW), Beheth Heenati showed the highest DPPH% inhibition (63.98±0.07%). Tested all cooked rice varieties exhibited a lower postprandial glycemic response than glucose. Among the cooked rice varieties Maa Vee showed the lowest peak (97mg/dl) concerning glucose. According to glycemic response, values were significantly (p<0.05) changed with the rice variety. The results highlighted that traditional rice verities are rich with a wide range of functional properties and useful in the management of non-communicable diseases and their complications.
What Is the Role of a Pharmacist in the Management of Complexity as It Applies to the Older Patient?
Authors: Shakib Sepehr
Published: June 2023

The theme of this issue of The Senior Care Pharmacist is complexity of the older patient. As a clinical pharmacologist working in the Australian health care system, I see the vital role of pharmacists in the management of complexity in older patients, and I imagine that there are similar potential contributions in other health care systems. The terms complicated and complex are frequently used interchangeably, but they imply distinct entities and understandings.

Políticas radiofónicas de comunicación local el caso de Catalunya
Authors: Barbeito Veloso María Luz , Crespo Haro Esteban
Published: June 2023

Las grandes cadenas españolas, SER, RNE, Onda Cero y COPE, dedican un porcentaje muy escaso de su programación a las necesidades comunicativas del ámbito local. Esta política de desprecio refuerza el carácter de "mero repetidor" que poseen la mayoría del amplio abanico de emisoras de reducida cobertura que conforman las cadenas citadas. Además, esta realidad coincide en Catalunya con un mal momento para las redes municipales, inmersa en un estancamiento infraestructural como programático. La evolución del sistema radiofónico español ha estado marcada por una concentración empresarial, la emisión en cadena y tal homogeneización programática.

Una mayor competitividad mediática, la necesidad de una rentabilidad económica, la lucha por audiencias y la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías son buena parte de las razones que permiten entender las transformaciones antes comentadas. Las radios locales han acabado siendo repetidores de la cadena, no sólo por una cuestión de rentabilidad económica, sino porque esa idiosincrasia permite explotar una imagen corporativa útil para captar la publicidad, para los índices de audiencia y para la penetración del medio local en el territorio. Un análisis exhaustivo de la programación en desconexión de las cadenas generalistas españolas revela como los espacios locales se sitúan en las franjas horarias en las que desciende de manera muy acusada, la audiencia de radio.

También se ha comprobado que la programación en desconexión es subsidiaria de la cadena y mantiene un alto grado de homogeneización. El caso de Catalunya es paradigmático, ya que el uso que se hace del catalán ha traspasado el límite puramente lingüístico para convertirse en una cuestión de identidad cultural. Sin embargo, las cadenas generalistas españolas utilizan este idioma en escasa proporción en su programación territorial. Esta circunstancia no sólo es propia de Catalunya, ya que en otras comunidades bilingües, como por ejemplo Galicia, el uso del gallego es menor que en el caso catalán.
