Cell adhesion molecules in the process of carcinogenesis and metastasis
Authors: Kwiatkowski Przemysław , Godlewski Janusz , Śliwińska-Jewsiewicka Agnieszka , Kmieć Zbigniew
Published: March 2023

Introduction. The interactions between individual cells as well as between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) are mediated by cell adhesion molecules (CAM). Over 100 different CAM have been classified into five families: selectins, integrins, cadherins, immunoglobulin superfamily, and CD44. Cell adhesion molecules play important roles in embryogenesis and organ growth, cell migration and leukocyte extravasations, wound healing, coagulation, inflammation and tumour invasion and metastasis. Aim. The aim of this paper is to present the role of CAM molecules in the biology of malignant tumours, including the growth of primary tumour, its progression and organ-specific metastases. Discussion. Cell-cell or cell-ECM interactions determine various biological processes such as cell growth, differentiation and cell migration. These functions are evoked by CAM-mediated intracellular signal transduction. By activating normal or abnormal signalling, CAM become important activators of primary tumour growth, tumour cell migration through ECM and wall of blood and lymphatic vessels, thus enabling organ-specific metastases. It was shown that altered CAM expression in colon, lung, breast and prostate cancer was associated with an adverse clinical course of the disease, faster metastasising and poor prognosis. Preliminary research indicates that cancer-targeted therapy with integrin inhibitors may result in a suppression of tumour angiogenesis and growth inhibition of primary and metastatic tumours. Conclusions. Cell adhesion molecules are useful markers of some types of tumours. Measurement of CAM expression may be used to evaluate the risk of disease recurrence, metastasis formation and survival time. In addition, CAM can be considered as a new group of molecules for targeted cancer therapy.

Introduction. The Minister of Health, aware of the need to draw up a uniform study, based on up-to-date medical knowledge, which would provide guidelines for educational workers concerning the prophylactics of postural deformities in children and youth, addressed a group of specialists to help arrive at the aforementioned document. All abnormalities of human posture are generally termed postural
deformities, although this term is not clearly defined and is rather ambiguous. The issue of postural deformities has already been analysed within numerous publications of various natures; still, however, it remains unsolved. The reasons for postural deformities are ample. Apart from the cases when their aetiology stems from congenital deformities or specific diseases, postural deformities usually develop without
any evident reasons. Factors which lead to adopting an improper posture of the body certainly play a significant role. In time they result in the formation and retention of the habit of adopting an improper posture and thus contribute to the development of deformities.
The incidence of postural deformities at the developmental age is assessed approximately at 50–60% of the population, depending on the region. Usually, these are habitual deformities, which to a large degree then contribute to the increase of the number of individuals with postural deformities in the population. Providing care for children and youth with developing or already developed postural deformities is a complex matter. Deformities developed due to a specific cause or those which are much more advanced require specialist treatment, which is beyond the sphere of interest and duties of the teaching environment. The basic tasks of this environment include primary prophylactics, i.e. eliminating these factors which may contribute to the development of deformities as well as promoting a proper body posture. Aim. The aim of this study was to draw up a uniform and up-to-date document which would provide guidelines concerning the prophylactics of postural deformities in children and youth. Methods. Prophylactic activities within the teaching environment are carried out by:
director of the teaching institution, teacher/form tutor, physical education teacher, nurse working within the teaching environment/ school hygienist. Conclusions. The aforementioned document drawn up by the specialists is forwarded by the Minister of Health to the Minister of National Education, with the hope that it will prove useful for educational workers in undertaking activities that promote healthy habits amongst children and youth.

Forgotten: an autoethnographic exploration of belonging through Graphic Design
Authors: Shan Kexin , Mortensen Steagall Marcos
Published: March 2023

This article presents a practice-led artistic research project that asks: How to represent an international Chinese student’s sense of belonging (or not belonging) through the aesthetics of visual poetry? The project looked into concrete poetry as a visual strategy to develop a design outcome consisting of two publications using an experimental typographic layout and two corresponding posters. This research employs autoethnography and heuristic inquiry as a methodological approach to the creative process to achieve high levels of originality. Based on personal experience, this research project explores the lack of sense of belonging faced by a Chinese student in an unfamiliar place when initially studying in Aotearoa New Zealand. In a design response to this temporary loss of belonging, the project investigated profiled individuals to analyse two specific negative emotions: restless and lonely. In addition, the study applies poetic writing to self-narrative to enhance the potential of personal expression, metaphorically telling stories while creating a visual typographic artefact that breaks with the traditional written prose form. The project is a retrospective of the self, graphically articulating two unforgettable emotions arising from two of the most profound periods affecting the researcher. On the one hand, the project takes a further step towards self-understanding and helps the viewer understand the issues of belonging experienced by Chinese students in a foreign country. On the other hand, it contributes to the discussion of autoethnography and heuristic inquiry to achieve originality in graphic design.
Painting the Kitchen Tables: Exploring women's domestic creative spaces through publication design
Authors: Brown Ruby , Mortensen Steagall Marcos
Published: March 2023

The spaces women take up in society have been shrouded in shame, disenfranchisement, and contention, with the kitchen as a focal point of this argument. This article aims to suggest ways in which women can take up space in the kitchen, this integral pillar of society that upholds connection and creativity as an art form. Adjacent to this subversive shift of connotation is the shifts within feminism, as feminist perspectives on women within kitchens develop alongside the historical movement. In this project, the researcher has utilised a post-positivist paradigm under an auto-ethnographic methodology to document, analyse, and celebrate the variations within feminist perspectives on creativity within domestic spaces through textile and publication design. In order to shift perspectives on these domestic spaces, the design outcomes paid tribute to feminist artists who made the kitchen their studio and others who captured the kitchen as an artistic contribution to the feminist perspectives on these spaces. Through heuristic methods of testing, experimentation, and physical outputs, the researcher curated a series of design artefacts that distil the visceral experiences of how women take up space in kitchens. Through publication design, there is a documentation of the shifting feminist perspectives on women's domestic spaces through contrast and analysis of articles, poems, recipes, and artist insights. These contexts are supported by the tactility of the physical design outcome made using textile, pottery, and printed matter. The research distils and provides a destination for the celebration of ways in which women take up space within the kitchen and the integral artistic creations within those spaces.

Introduction. Telemedicine technologies are increasingly being used in various areas of medicine to manage patients with various nosologies. Obstetrics is no exception, in particular the use of telemedicine technologies in the management of pregnant women with risk factors for preterm birth. To study the world experience, a search was carried out in Russian and international databases. Relevant articles were selected for detailed study. The purpose of the study – to search for publications on the use of telemedicine technologies in obstetric practice for the management of pregnant women with risk factors for preterm birth, to analyze and systematize, and on the base of the expe- rience presented in the articles, to determine the acceptability, problems and prospects for the development of tele-obstetrics for the management of pregnant women with risk factors for preterm birth. Materials and methods. A search was carried out in the international electronic database PubMed and the Russian electronic libraries CyberLeninka, eLIBRARY.RU. Results. For the five-year period under review, from 2017 to 2021 with the help of electronic libraries, 15 relevant full-text articles were selected for detailed study. The analysis of the articles showed that 46.6% of scientific papers are devoted to de- scription of the experience of using telemedicine technologies in assisting pregnant women, 33.3% describe the introduction of telemedicine applications, and 13.3% are devoted to the use of telemonitoring. 33.3% of the selected articles reflect the ef- fectiveness of using automated pregnancy monitoring systems, 6.7% of the articles consider the methodology for creating databases, 6,7% give the legislative framework for integrating telemedicine into the obstetric service, and 6,7% are reviews. Conclusion. The use of telemedicine technologies in obstetrics has good prospects, as it improves the availability, quality and safety of medical care, and reduces the psycho-emotional stress experienced by pregnant women during hospitalization.

A bibliometric analysis on renewable energy's public health benefits
Authors: DURMUŞ ŞENYAPAR Hafize Nurgül
Published: March 2023

Renewable energy (RE) is a field in which an increasing number of academic studies are being conducted on multiple dimensions, including technical, economic, political, and social. Wide and varied disciplines conduct research on the processes of making an investment decision in renewable energy, developing, and adopting policies for this purpose, selecting RE suitable for the location, establishing it by taking economic and environmental factors into account, developing energy distribution and storage systems, and supporting regional development. To accurately calculate the installation costs, which are viewed as one of the barriers to a greater use of renewable energy, the co-benefits of RE must be analyzed and transferred to this calculation, and thus to the decision-making processes. Understanding these co-benefits will also facilitate consumer adoption of sustainable energy sources. In addition to economic growth, financial development, employment growth, and regional development, it is crucial to understand the public health benefits of renewable energy. Through bibliometric analysis, which permits the quantification and visualization of qualitative data, the status and development of the literature on the health benefits of RE are examined in this study. That is determined the most researched topics, current issues and trends, and prominent issues in academic studies, too. Thus, the transition to environmentally friendly energies can be accelerated by increasing public awareness of health co-benefits from a more holistic perspective.

Niat Berpindah Nasabah yang Termigrasi Paksa ke Bank Syariah Indonesia
Authors: Sari Berliana Fajar Nur Endah , Aji Hendy Mustiko
Published: March 2023

Background – The merger that was done by BUMN Islamic Banks in Indonesia to form Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) has forced the customers to switch to the new system. This switch may create resistance. As this phenomenon is still new, therefore, there are still very limited studies that investigate it.
Aim – This study is aimed to investigate factors that influence customer switching intention to Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI).
Design / Methodology / Approach – This study collected 106 respondents and the data is analyzed using PLS-SEM. The purposive sampling technique is chosen by creating criteria for the sample, such as ex-Bank Syariah Mandiri, BRI Syariah, and BNI Syariah customers who are forcedly switched to Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI).
Findings – This study shows that trust has a significant effect on satisfaction, but it does not influence switching intention. Satisfaction is significantly influenced by service quality, but it has a negative effect on switching intention. Interestingly, service quality also does not influence switching intention.
Conclusion - This study concludes that customer switching intentions are significantly influenced by customer satisfaction, but not by trust and service quality.
Research Implication – The findings of this study are expected to be used by Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) managers in designing a customer loyalty program. So that, the customers who are forcedly switched can stay.  
Limitations – Most of the respondents in this study are from Java Island. This unbalanced proportion might affect the validity of the findings.

Çalışmanın amacı göç ve mültecilik konulu çocuk edebiyatı ürünlerini “Süreç” bağlamında incelemektir. Süreç; yolculuğun gerekçesi, yolculuk öncesi, yolculuk ve yeni yer/yeni yaşam olmak üzere dört grupta ele alınmıştır. Araştırmada; Arkadaşım Korku, Bavulumdaki Kırık Fincan, Bir Balina Bir Bavula Nasıl Sığar, Dişe Diş, Hoş Geldiniz, Kayıp Köpek Üzüm, Savaşı Bitiren Sinek, Tarık ve Beyaz Karga, Tombik Balık Denizler Hepimizin, Veda Öpücüğü olmak üzere on çocuk edebiyatı ürünü incelenmiştir. Kitapların seçiminde göç veya mültecilik olgusunun insan dışındaki bir canlı veya nesne yardımıyla ele alınmış olması, belirleyici bir rol üstlenmiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman incelemesi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler ise içerik analizi türlerinden olan kategorisel analiz ile çözümlenmiştir. Bir süreç olarak ele alınan göç olgusunda yolculuğun gerekçesi kimi zaman açıkça belirtilmiş kimi zaman sezdirilmiştir. Yolculuk öncesinde yer değişikliğini reddetme, vedalaşma, çözüm üretmeye çalışma gibi durumlar ve özlem, korku, endişe gibi duygu durumları yansıtılmıştır. İnceleme kapsamındaki kitapların çoğunda yolculuk süreci ele alınmamış; yolculuk süreci ele alınan kitaplarda ise genellikle yolculuk sürecinin yaşattığı olumsuz durumlar ve hisler yansıtılmıştır. Yeni yer/yeni yaşam içerisinde ise; merak, empati, özlem, korku, arayış, kabul görme/reddedilme, şüphe, hoşgörü, arkadaşlık, yalnızlık, sosyalleşme, saygı, sevgi, umut, alışma gibi duygu, ihtiyaç ve durumlara yer verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda; çocuk edebiyatı ürünlerinin duygu durumlarının farkına varma, baş etme ve çözüm yolları arama noktasında yardımcı kaynaklar olabileceği, bununla birlikte kültürlerarası iletişimi fark etmelerini sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca insan dışındaki varlık ve nesnelerin, göç ve göçmenliğin yaşatabilecekleri ve hissettirebileceklerine ilişkin dikkat çekici unsurlar oldukları görülmektedir.

Published: March 2023

Although the balanced scorecard has existed in Indonesia for more than a decade, there exists still relative limited research on how the process, challenges, or results of implementing the balanced scorecard in the public sector, especially at the operational level. This study aims to understand the factors supporting and inhibiting the implementation of the balanced scorecard in the SSB Primary Tax Office (KPP SSB). This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Sources of data come from interviews and the results of literature studies on related documents and regulations. This study found 4 (four) factors supporting success namely officers/employees’ participation, the roles of the superior, communication/cooperation, and facilities and infrastructure. It is also found 5 (five) inhibiting factors for implementing the balanced scorecard namely constraints around the key performance indicator (KPI), not-supportive-yet computer systems/applications, non-KPI assignments, difficulties in finding the replacement of employees, and the existence of joint/shared KPI.

Authors: Akarsu Cengiz Sevgi Fatma , Öztürk Zekai
Published: March 2023

This study was conducted to determine the Effect of Talent Management on Nurses' Perceptions of Work Motivation and Organizational Trust. In this context, data obtained from all nurses working in ministry of health hospitals and university hospitals in Ankara were evaluated. For the data, the talent management practices scale consisting of 7 sub-dimensions (attraction, selection and placement, commitment, retention, training, rewarding, talent pool), nurse work motivation scale consisting of 25 factors and the organizational trust scale, which consists of 3 sub-dimensions (trust in the institution, trust in colleagues, trust in the manager) was used. As a result of the research, nurses' perceptions of talent management were found to be moderate (x=3,146), their perceptions of work motivation (x=3,839) and organizational trust perceptions (x=3,566) were found to be higher than the average. According to the findings, nurses' perceptions of talent management, work motivation and organizational trust have positive correlation to each other. The perception of talent management of nurses working in the ministry of health was found to be higher than those in the university. It has been concluded that the nurses working at the university trust their institution more than the ministry of health. The effect of talent management on work motivation was found to be higher in university hospitals. On the other hand, it has been concluded that the effect of talent management on organizational trust is higher in ministry of health hospitals.
Multidimensional Party Polarization in Europe: Cross-Cutting Divides and Effective Dimensionality
Authors: Koedam Jelle , Binding Garret , Steenbergen Marco Robert
Published: March 2023

Ideological polarization matters. It is a necessary requirement for meaningful electoral competition, but at its extreme can strain democratic functioning. The conceptualization and measurement of contemporary ideological polarization is complicated by the growing complexity of the policy differences between political parties. Yet, existing indicators remain one-dimensional in nature, despite the wide acceptance of the multidimensional structure of European politics. To resolve this tension, we introduce a novel, two-dimensional measure of party polarization. Using the correlation matrix of parties’ ideological positions, we calculate the effective dimensionality of a political space, which accounts for the degree to which the dimensions crosscut each other. We highlight the advantages of this approach with both artificial data and positional estimates derived from the Chapel Hill Expert Survey (1999-2019). Then, we explore the empirical implications of our multidimensional measurement strategy, and show that it is better suited to capture the relationship between party polarization and mass partisanship. This study has important theoreti- cal, methodological, and normative implications for our understanding of democratic representation in a changing political landscape.
Infants’ expectations for helping in imitators
Authors: Pepe Bill , Powell Lindsey J
Published: March 2023

Human infants seem to make positive social inferences about individuals who imitate others. In three preregistered experiments we test if these inferences include an expectation that imitators will be helpful, and also ask if the inferences infants make are about imitators’ dispositions or primarily about their relationships. In each experiment 8- to 9-month-old infants saw one individual imitate, and another individual not imitate, the same target social partner(s). When the imitator and non-imitator had the opportunity to help the target individual they had previously interacted with, infants looked longer when the non-imitator helped than when the imitator helped. However, when the potential recipient of help was a new social partner, infants’ looking did not differ when the imitator or non-imitator helped. Overall, these results support the hypothesis that infants perceive imitation as prosocial or affiliative and thus expect imitators to be helpful. However, these expectations are limited to inferences about a specific prosocial relationship between the imitator and their target.

Published: March 2023

Social media data donation through data download packages (DDPs) is a promising new way of collecting individual-level digital trace data with informed consent. Nevertheless, given the novelty of this approach, little is known about whether and how people would share their data with researchers, although this could seriously affect selection bias and thus, the outer validity of the results. To study the determinants of data-sharing and help future data donation studies with detecting the conditions, under which the willingness is the highest, we pre-registered two vignette experiments and embedded them in two online surveys conducted in Hungary and the U.S. In hypothetical requests for donating social media data via DDPs, we manipulated the amount of the monetary incentives (1), the presence or lack of non-monetary incentives (2), the number of requested platforms (3), the estimated upload/download time (4), and the type of requested data (5). The results revealed that data-sharing attitude is strongly subject to the parameters of the actual study, how the request is framed, and some respondent characteristics. Monetary incentives increased willingness to participate in both countries, while other effects were not consistent between the two countries.
On-off synecdoche: a just good enough model of subjective experience
Authors: Martinez-Saito Mario
Published: March 2023

We provide an account of the apparent intermittency of subjective experi-ences, between conscious and unconscious phases, grounded on three parsi-monious notions: (1) the brain is an inference engine and stochastic simula-tor endowed with a good enough generative model of the world inherited viaevolution and forged by experience, (2) the brain's internal model of the self(itself, its body and actions) is an intermittent and simpli?ed representationinvoked only when needed to expedite inference, which speci?es and enables?rst-person subjective experiences through the identi?cation of a model of theself (d-self or synecdoche for the p-self ) with the physical self (p-self ), and (3)realistic monism as a merger of physicalism and panpsychism. This schemeshifts the focus from problematic standalone subjective experiences to theidenti?cation of subjective experiences with the system's model of itself andits contingent attributes, is consistent with the empirical and phenomenolog-ical evidence and provides testable predictions: (1) only macroscopic scaleinformation that is expedient for survival (d-self shell) can become subjectiveexperience, and (2) the hub of subjective experience is mostly distributedalong the posterior medial cortex.
Distrusting the Process: Electoral Trust, Operational Ideology, and Non-Voting Political Participation in the 2020 American Electorate
Authors: Fitz Erin B. , Saunders Kyle L.
Published: March 2023

This article explores the relationships between electoral trust, operational ideology, and non-voting political participation (NVP) during the 2020 US presidential election cycle. We hypothesize that: 1) more liberal operational ideology is associated with more NVP, 2) less electoral trust is associated with more NVP, and 3) operational ideology moderates the negative relationship between electoral trust and NVP. Using data from the 2020 American National Election Study (N = 8,280), our contribution is three-fold: We first add to previous research that indicated liberals engage in more NVP than conservatives. We then provide some of the first evidence to suggest that electoral trust—in this case, trust prior to the 2020 election—is negatively associated with NVP. Results further indi- cate that the negative relationship between electoral trust and NVP is strongest among those with conservative operational ideology, such that the more trust those with conservative operational ideology have in the election, the less they engage in NVP. Given that electoral trust is crucial for a well-functioning democracy, the implication is that elites with a strategic incentive to express contempt for the election process can have direct and downstream consequences on political participation.
Autistic people « are the Salt of the Earth »: Hans Asperger's last text about autism before his death - Les autistes « sont le sel de la terre » : le dernier texte d’Hans Asperger sur l'autisme avant sa mort
Authors: Rebecchi Kevin
Published: March 2023

After his 1944 thesis, Hans Asperger continued to work and write about autistic children. However, apart from this earlier text, none of these texts have been translated and presented to the scientific community. Yet, thousands of articles and books on the subject have been published. At a time when autism spectrum disorder faces many challenges (including the nature of autism, the measurement of autism, and the differential diagnoses of autism), this text tells us more about the particular population that Hans Asperger worked with throughout his life. He describes children who are sensitive, intelligent, creative and rational, a far cry from the Lorna Wing triad. Moreover, Asperger's syndrome was born after his death, entered the DSM-IV in 1994 and then exited in the DSM-V in 2013. The question posed by this last article, written before his death, is whether Asperger's descriptions of autistic children are really part of the autism spectrum disorder or are they outside the pathological field?Après sa thèse de 1944, Hans Asperger a continué à travailler et à écrire sur les enfants autistes. Cependant, à l'exception de ce premier texte, aucun de ces textes n'a été traduit et présenté à la communauté scientifique. Pourtant, des milliers d'articles et de livres ont été publiés sur le sujet. À l'heure où les troubles du spectre autistique font face à de nombreux défis (notamment la nature de l'autisme, la mesure de l'autisme et les diagnostics différentiels de l'autisme), ce texte nous en apprend plus sur la population particulière avec laquelle Hans Asperger a travaillé tout au long de sa vie. Il décrit des enfants sensibles, intelligents, créatifs et rationnels, loin de la triade de Lorna Wing. De plus, le syndrome d'Asperger est né après sa mort, est entré dans le DSM-IV en 1994 et en est sorti dans le DSM-V en 2013. La question posée par ce dernier article, écrit avant sa mort, est de savoir si les descriptions d'enfants autistes d'Asperger font réellement partie des troubles du spectre autistique ou si elles se situent en dehors du champ pathologique ?
Bored participants, biased data? How boredom can influence behavioral science research and what we can do about it

Behavioral researchers tend to study behaviour in highly controlled laboratory settings to minimize effects of potential confounders. Yet, while doing so, the artificial setup itself might unintentionally introduce noise or confounders, such as boredom. In this perspective, we draw upon theoretical and empirical evidence to make the case that a) some experimental setups are likely to induce boredom in participants, b) the degree of boredom induced might differ between individuals as a function of differences in trait boredom, c) boredom can impair participants’ attention, can make study participation more effortful, and can increase the urge to do something else (i.e., to disengage from the study). Most importantly, we argue that some participants might adjust their behaviour because they are bored. Considering boredom’s potential for adding noise to data, or for being an unwanted confound, we discuss a set of recommendations on how to control for, and deal with the occurrence and effects of boredom in behavioral science research.

Background. Given increases in cannabis potency and cannabis use in newly legalized markets, it remains critical to examine the effects of cannabis on a variety of health outcomes. However, quantification of cannabinoid exposure remains rare in cannabis research. It is unclear whether biospecimen measures of cannabinoid exposure, such as those derived from hair, are associated with common self-report measures of use and cognitive and mental health outcomes. Methods. 74 near-daily cannabis users with cannabis use disorder self-reported their quantity of cannabis use, cannabis use-related problems, estimated cannabis potency, and mental health outcomes, and completed cognitive tests. Hair samples were provided to quantify Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN) using a liquid chromatography atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry method. Results. Cannabinoids were detectable in 95.95% of the hair samples from individuals who tested positive on a urine screen for cannabis. Hair-derived Δ9-THC concentrations were positively associated with several measures of self-reported potency (relative potency, potency category, and perceived ‘high’) although Δ9-THC, CBD, or CBN concentrations or THC/CBD ratio were not associated with self-reported quantity of use. Furthermore, self-reported THC percentage (category) and potency (category), but not cannabinoid concentrations, were associated with withdrawal and craving respectively. Self-reported measures of quantity of cannabis use (gram/week), but not cannabinoid concentrations, were associated with cannabis use related problems. Mental health problems were associated with self-reported cannabis use-related problems and withdrawal only. Looking at cognitive outcomes, only a small negative association between a measure of cannabis use related problems and estimated IQ was observed. Conclusions. The use of hair-derived cannabinoid quantification is supported for detecting cannabis use in near-daily users. However, the general lack of associations between hair-derived cannabinoid concentrations and commonly used self-report measures does not support the use of hair analyses for quantifying cumulative cannabinoid exposure at this time. Further research comparing hair-derived cannabinoid concentrations with other biological matrices (e.g. plasma) and self-report is necessary to further evaluate the validity of hair analyses for this purpose. The importance of accurately quantifying cannabinoid exposure in research into the effects of cannabis cannot be overstated given newly permissive legal environments and uptick in use.

Numerous variables can affect performance before the competition. Nevertheless, it could be a subject of curiosity to find out whether a warm-up strategy has a more positive effect on the power performance of kickboxers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of different specific warm-up protocols and time of day on optimum power performance in kickboxers. Ten volunteer males performed three different warm-up routines in random order. The warm-up protocols consisted of only 20 min for each group. The groups with low-intensity aerobic running (NSWU) and specific warm-ups (SWU-20m) performed 20-min protocols. The other group followed 10 minutes of jogging and 10 minutes of specific warm-up (SWU-10m). All groups followed the warm-up randomly at two different periods of the day (i.e. morning: 09:00-10:00 and evening: 16:00-17:00) on non-consecutive days. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of Mean Propulsion (W) (F=3.518; p2=0.036). There was a statistically significant difference in Mean propulsive Power (W) between NSWU and SWU-10m (p3= 0.0007) in addition there was also a statistically significant difference in SWU-10m and SWU-20m (p3= 0.0106) and, NSWU and SWU-20m (p3= 0.415) protocols. In conclusion, mean propulsion (W) performance showed diurnal variation, and performances of the kickboxers’ can be affected more positively in the evening hours, especially after SWU protocols.

O presente estudo avaliou a eficácia de uma intervenção em comportamento moral para crianças que frequentavam o programa governamental “Escola da Família” (PEF). Participaram cinco crianças, de sete e dez anos, que apresentavam problemas de comportamento e participavam semanalmente do PEF. A intervenção consistiu na aplicação de um programa de comportamento moral, com 13 sessões que abordavam temas relacionados às virtudes. A avaliação dos participantes foi realizada por pré e pós-teste do Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). As médias dos escores brutos dos participantes foram comparadas estatisticamente e os escores individuais também foram analisados. Todos os participantes mostraram um aumento das competências sociais e uma diminuição dos problemas de comportamentos, se comparadas as médias e os escores individuais do CBCL, antes e depois da intervenção. O programa de comportamento moral foi efetivo para promover competências sociais e reduzir problemas de comportamentos para participantes do PEF.
Distribuição de rendimentos no Jogo dos Bens Públicos: um análogo experimental de corrupção
Authors: Ferreira André Luiz , Escobal Giovana , Goyos Celso
Published: March 2023

A corrupção tem sido objeto de estudo em diversas pesquisas, mas apenas recentemente tem sido investigada experimentalmente. Uma maneira de estudar tal fenómeno é expor os participantes a um Jogo dos Bens Públicos (JBP) no qual eles precisam contribuir para produzir um bem público específico, e então precisam tomar decisões sobre como tal bem seria distribuído entre os demais participantes. Um participante que fizer distribuições desiguais beneficiando a si estaría se comportando de maneira análoga ao que é descrito pelo crime de peculato. O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar como os participantes distribuiram recursos públicos no JBP. Seis participantes foram expostos ao procedimento. Cinco deles fizeram distribuições desiguais, isto é, alocaram a maior parte dos recursos para si mesmo. A partir destes resultados, sugerimos mudanças nas contingencias que controlam a ocorrência deste tipo de comportamento.

Autolesão não suicida são ações intencionais de causar dano ao próprio corpo, sem a intenção suicida e sem propósitos sociais ou culturalmente aceitos. Já os Esquemas Iniciais Desadaptativos (EIDs) são definidos como crenças centrais e amplas que provocam emoções negativas e comportamentos disfuncionais. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar através de uma revisão sistemática de artigos nacionais e internacionais se existe uma relação entre autolesão não suicida e EIDs. Foram utilizadas as bases de dados: SciELO, PePSIC, Index Psi, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, Science Direct e PsycINFO (APA), com os descritores: “early maladaptive schemas”, “schema therapy”, “schemas” e “esquemas iniciais desadaptativos”, “Non-suicidal self-injury”, “NSSI”, “self-harm”, “self-injury” e “autolesão”. Para análise final foram selecionados 5 artigos. Apesar das pesquisas sugerirem uma relação entre autolesão e EIDs, os resultados ainda são inconclusivos e necessitam de mais investigação empírica com amostras diversas.
Repository Information System for the Final Assignment of the South Aceh Polytechnic

A "final assignment repository" is a medium or place for storing final assignments and theses in the form of PDF files (Portable Document Format). At the end of each semester, students must receive a final assignment course for the D3 level. In each university, the final assignment system is often different, but most still use the manual method. When a student's thesis trial and final assignment are printed, it is used as a book as proof that they have completed the thesis or final assignment. For the collection of thesis books, students are required to collect them in the library; often, other students look for study references and assignments in the reading room. For that reason, the author's problem is trying to design a website-based final project repository application using the Laravel framework. This application was built to store student final assignments. In this case, students can easily save the final project file. In this application, the reading room admin plays the role of manager of the final assignment file if students who have submitted it validate that the student has collected it. Majoring students can use this application to access applications that can be used as learning tools or references for their final project. A computerized system is expected to provide convenience and produce applications as expected.
