The (un)happy moralist? Different methods of moral engagement have opposing implications for wellbeing
Authors: Taher Tamanna , Goutallier Chloe , Kirkland Kelly , Bastian Brock
Published: October 2023

For centuries, the relationship between morality and wellbeing has been a focal point of philosophical debate. Recent empirical research has produced mixed results, showing both positive and negative outcomes of moral engagement on wellbeing. Our research aims to clarify these outcomes by exploring two distinct forms of moral engagement: moral identity and moral attentiveness, and their divergent effects on wellbeing. In Study 1 (N =149), we found a strong moral identity was associated with greater wellbeing, whereas being attentive to moral issues in daily life was linked to poorer wellbeing. Mediation analyses revealed moral identity was associated with increased wellbeing through strengthened social connectedness, while moral attentiveness was associated with decreased wellbeing through rumination. In Study 2 (N =118), a 14-day daily-diary survey showed heightened levels of moral attentiveness predicted increased rumination and reduced wellbeing the following day. These findings enhance understanding of the interplay between moral engagement and wellbeing, elucidating when and how engaging with moral content can be fulfilling, burdensome, or both.

Published: October 2023

2SLGBTQI youth are at disproportionately high risk of experiencing gender-based violence compared to their cis-heterosexual peers, although there is a gap in research explaining why as well as what this violence looks like. Part of the explanation relates to ongoing homophobia and transphobia; however, more research is needed to understand 2SLGBTQI youths’ feelings of safety within their communities, their experiences of violence with partners, and their help-seeking behaviours. Given the limited Canadian research, the Speak Out project was undertaken. The Speak Out project is a multi-phase project with Phase 1 encompassing a survey of youth across Canada about their experiences of gender-based violence. From across Canada, 292 youths were recruited and asked to complete a survey on gender-based violence. The survey covered four domains related to violence (physical violence, emotional abuse/control, sexual violence, virtual violence) participants experienced, experiences with help-seeking, and connections to the 2SLGBTQI community. Most youths had connections to the broader 2SLGBTQI community and were open about their identities, but many reported being discriminated against based on their gender expression (50%) and sexual orientation (43%). Of the participants who answered questions related to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, very few reported any incidents. More youths reported virtual violence via text messages (34%), making them afraid to ignore phone calls or other contact (18%), and surveillance of their social media (18%). These results contribute valuable knowledge on the experiences of Canadian 2SLGBTQI youths and have important implications for both education and frontline service provision.
Recalling, reacting but not so much regretting: How young adults describe their sexual and romantic infidelity experiences
Authors: Coon Laura C. H. , Metcalfe Kate B. , Belu Charlene F. , O’Sullivan Lucia F.
Published: October 2023

Infidelity is reported at high rates despite strong societal prohibitions against it, leading to questions about whether outcomes support the motives driving infidelity. Little is known about whether motives behind infidelity correspond to perceived outcomes, including regret, but such information might help to explain the paradox of the high rates. Participants were recruited from a large prospective study on monogamy. Analyses were conducted on surveys from the 94 individuals who engaged in infidelity over the year. Using structured and open-ended measures, the authors examined how infidelity evolved, patterns among motives and outcomes, and regret. Infidelity typically began at work or online, lasted about one year, and involved sex as well as feelings of infatuation or love. Most (63.4%) reported not regretting their infidelity. Motives (anger, neglect, dissatisfaction, sex) were compared with outcomes (fulfilled needs, sexual satisfaction, distress) to assess concordance. Being motivated by feelings of neglect or relationship dissatisfaction was associated with needs fulfilled by infidelity; sex as a motive was associated with sexual satisfaction as an outcome. However, concordance in motives and outcomes was unrelated to regret.

La edad materna avanzada guarda relación directamente proporcional con el riesgode complicaciones obstétricas y no obstétricas durante la gestación, tanto para lagestante como para el feto. Esto es particularmente importante debido a que a lastasas de fecundidad de las mujeres de mayor edad han aumentado. En EstadosUnidos, el 10% del primer nacimiento y el 20% de todos los nacimientos ocurrenen mujeres con 35 años o más. Históricamente la edad materna avanzada se hadefinido como una edad mayor o igual a 35 años, punto de corte que sustentadoen la disminución de la fecundidad y el mayor riesgo de anomalías genéticas enla descendencia de las mujeres mayores a esta edad. Sin embargo, los efectosrelacionados al aumento de edad son continuos y el riesgo es mayor mientrasmayor sea la edad al momento de la concepción más que como efecto de pasar elumbral de los 35 años. Diferentes investigaciones han mostrado que las gestantesañosas tienen mayor riesgo de complicaciones tempranas de la gestación comoaborto espontáneo, embarazo ectópico, anomalías cromosómicas y malformacionescongénitas, así como, preeclampsia, diabetes gestacional, patología placentaria,parto pretérmino, peso bajo al nacer, mortalidad perinatal, embarazo múltiple,parto distócico, parto por cesárea y mortalidad materna.

Published: October 2023

Jaksa sebagai penegak hukum memiliki peran dalam melakukan penuntutan dan membela kepentingan korban untuk menjaga Hak asasi manusianya. Jaksa berperan penting dalam melaksanakan tujuan hukum baik keadilan, kepastian, maupun kemanfaatan sehingga perlindungan hukum tercapai semestinya. Namun, adanya penambahan kewenangan jaksa untuk melakukan peninjauan kembali untuk kepentingan hukum mengalami suatu perdebatan hukum di Masyarakat. Pasalnya, instrumen peninjauan kembali hanya diperuntukkan kepada terpidana demi melindungi Hak Asasi Manusianya sebagaimana juga ditentukan pada Pasal 263 ayat (1) Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana (KUHAP). Perdebatan ini berlangsung di Mahkamah Konstitusi melalui pengujian Pasal 30C huruf h Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2021 tentang Kejaksaan Republik Indonesia yang bertentangan dengan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945. Penelitian merupakan penelitian hukum (doctrinal research) dengan pendekatan undang-undang (statues approach), pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach) dan pendekatan kasus (cases approach). Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa pertimbangan Hakim Mahkamah Konstitusi kewenangan jaksa dalam peninjauan kembali sudah melampaui dan kontradiktif dengan ketentuan KUHAP. Implikasi pada putusan MK Nomor 20/PUU-XXI Tahun 2023 maka secara konstitusional hak asasi manusia terpidana dapat terlindungi dan terhindar dari potensi penyalahgunaan wewenang oleh Jaksa terhadap upaya hukum tersebut.

Evaluation of theobromine content and the relationship between cocoa percentages in dark chocolates
Authors: Eren Fatma Hulyam , Kabaran Seray
Published: October 2023

Background: There are no specific regulations governing the labeling of dark chocolate or its bioactive component quantities.. The main alkaloid of the cocoa bean is theobromine. Chocolate is by far the main source of theobromine in the Western diet. To assess their effects on health, it is essential to understand the ingredients and composition of biologically active substances in chocolates available in stores.Objective: The present study aims to analyze the theobromine contents of commercial chocolates and evaluates the association between the labeled cocoa mass percentage (%), theobromine contents and evaluated non-fat cocoa solid (NFCS) parameters of dark chocolates. Materials and Methods: Several types of chocolates (bittersweet dark [60-80% cacao], semisweet dark [45-50% cacao], milk chocolate, and chocolate spreads) were analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry with duplicate measurements.. Samples (n=20) typically 6 months apart from production dates have been selected. Results: Overall range for theobromine content varied from 1.9 to 9.6 mg/g. Of all, bittersweet dark chocolate had the highest (8.1±1.01 mg/g) concentration of theobromine in comparison to semisweet dark chocolate (6.4±0.79 mg/g). Milk-chocolate (2.7±0.26 mg/g) and chocolate-spreads (2.7±0.81 mg/g) had the lowest concentration of theobromine. A strong correlation between theobromine content and declared cocoa solid % was found in both of the dark chocolate categories (r = 0.523, p = 0.081 and r = 0.771, p = 0.009 for semisweet and bittersweet dark chocolate, respectively). NFCS indicated a correlation between the labeled cocoa solid % (R2 = 0.766) and the calculated cocoa solid % (R2 = 0.803) in dark chocolates. A high correlation has also been determined between the labeled cocoa solid percentage and the calculated cacao solid percentage in dark chocolates (R2 = 0.902).Conclusion: The labeled content of the cocoa mass of dark chocolates could be a preliminary information for the consumer about theobromine capacity.Keywords: Theobromine, chocolate, dark chocolate, cocoa-percentage, UV-Vis spectrophotometry

Published: October 2023

INTRODUCTION: Desmoid fibroma (DF) is a disorder characterized by strong clonal proliferation of myofibroblasts and fibroblasts. We describe a case of DF that mimicked a breast tumor, along with a review of the literature on the clinical manifestation, diagnostic process, and course of therapy for this combative disease. CASE REPORT: A 34-year-old female patient with breast lump at the junction of the upper quadrants of the left breast. After the diagnosis of DF, it was decided to perform a sectorectomy of the left breast associated with post-quadrant reconstruction, with immunohistochemistry and findings compatible with DF. DISCUSSION: Clinically manifests as a solid mass that is often painless and occasionally adherent to the chest wall. A treatment strategy should be idealized for each patient. Thus, there is the possibility of performing radical surgery for resection and/or radiotherapy, and surgery may be followed by radiotherapy.
Predicting Adolescents’ Intentions to Support Victims of Bullying from Expected Reactions of Friends versus Peers
Authors: Marx Hedda , Boulton Michael J. , Macaulay Peter J. R.
Published: October 2023

Given the crucial role of bystanders in combating bullying in schools, there is a need to understand the reasons why children may or may not intervene on behalf of a victimised peer. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between children’s expectations of general peer reactions versus the reactions of their friends on three subtypes of victim support: consoling the victim, addressing the bully, and getting adult help. A sample of 630 students (297 girls; 333 boys, Mage = 12.5) from three public secondary schools in Germany completed a 30-item questionnaire measuring expected peer reactions, expected friend reactions, past victim support experiences, and intentions to support victims. Results revealed the more influential role of expected reactions of friends over general peers in predicting victim support with expected negative consequences from friends reducing children’s willingness to engage in victim helping, irrespective of the three sub-types of support studied. Expected negative outcomes from peers were also found to significantly affect students’ intentions to approach a teacher for help. Boys were found to be more concerned about their friends’ and peers’ reactions to victim support than girls. The findings are discussed in relation to bystanders’ willingness to offer victim support and associated practical implications for addressing the widespread problem of bullying in schools.

Authors: Ingannato Assunta , Bessi Valentina , Chiari Annalisa , Salvatori Davide , Bagnoli Silvia , Bedin Roberta , Ferrari Camilla , Sorbi Sandro , Nacmias Benedetta
Published: October 2023

Background: Progranulin protein (GRN) is a growth factor, encoded by the GRN (Granulin precursor) gene, involved in several functions including inflammation, wound repair, signal transduction, proliferation, and tumorigenesis. Mutations in GRN gene are usually the genetic etiology of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), but different studies reported GRN mutations in Alzheimer ’s disease (AD) patients. Objective: Here, we analyzed FTD linked gene GRN in 23 patients with a clinical diagnosis of AD and a family history of AD (FAD), not carrying mutations in AD candidate genes (PSEN 1, PSEN 2, and APP). In addition, Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene was studied too. All patients underwent an extensive neuropsychological battery. Methods: Genetic analyses were performed thought PCR assay and sequencing. Variants were annotated with ANNOVAR and allele frequency was checked on population databases. In silico prediction tools were consulted to check nonsynonymous variants and their effect on protein function and structure. The clinical data were retrospectively collected from medical records. Results: Genetic screening of MAPT and GRN in 23 FAD patients highlighted two rare different variants in two probands (2/23 = 8,7%) located in GRN gene: R433W (p.Arg433Trp) and C521Y (p.Cys521Tyr). The R433W and C521Y are variants with uncertain significant, that are predicted to affect GRN protein structure and function, with a possible damaging effect. Conclusions: Our data provide evidence of the importance of GRN genetic analysis also in the study of familial AD.
Performance evaluation of six mesh router replacement methods for wireless mesh networks: A comparison study for small and middle scale networks considering two islands distribution of mesh clients
Authors: Barolli Leonard
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we present a hybrid intelligent simulation system for optimization of mesh routers in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) called WMN-PSOHCDGA. We implemented six mesh router replacement methods: CM, RIWM, LDIWM, LDVM, RDVM and FC-RDVM and consider Two Islands distribution of mesh clients. We carry out a comparison study of these router replacement methods for small and middle scale WMNs. We assessed the performance by computer simulations. The simulation results show that six methods have a good performance for connectivity and coverage metrics, for both small and middle scale WMNs. However, they have different behavior for load balancing. For small scale WMNs, the load balancing of LDIWM, RIWM and FC-RDVM is better than CM, LDVM and RDVM. While, comparing LDIWM, RIWM and FC-RDVM, the LDIWM has better load balancing. We found that the load balancing for small scale WMNs is not good, because there is a concentration of mesh routers in some areas. For middle scale WMNs, the CM, LDIWM, LDVM and RDVM have not a good load balancing. While, the RIWM and FC-RDVM have better performance. Comparing RIWM and FC-RDVM, we found that the load balancing of FC-RDVM is better than RIWM.
SOME ISSUES OF THE CALCULATION PROCESS OPTIMIZATION IN TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNERS CALIBRATION
Authors: Sossa Bohdan
Published: October 2023

A conventional and widely used mathematical model of laser scanners calibration has such an imperfection as correlation between some of parameters during the adjustment process and quite complex numerical solution. A method of avoiding the correlation between scanner and polygon transformation parameters and calibration parameters as well as calibration numerical solution simplification is considered. It is proposed to implement a separate transformation parameters computation by using Kabsch-Umeyama algorithm that can compute Helmert transformation parameters even in case of gross errors present in data set. But direct transformation before adjustment leads to parametric equations and following numerical solution complication. Therefore it is also proposed to conduct a reverse transformation from polygon coordinate system into scanner coordinate system as it simplifies further equations linearization and allows simplifying the numerical solution in general. As it is more than one station to be scanned during the calibration process, one cannot simply swap coordinate systems. The polygon coordinate system remains as original one but reverse Helmert transformation is conducted. To prove this approach is correct, three datasets using different laser scanners and high-precise total station were obtained. Direct and reverse transformation between scanners and total station coordinate systems was made for all datasets and MSE of transformation was calculated for each case. Thus, the possibility of using the reverse transformation to optimize the process of the calibration parameters determining has been experimentally proven.
CURRENT TRENDS AND PRINCIPLES OF ARCHITECTURAL FORMATION OF ADAPTIVE SPORTS FACILITIES
Authors: Shkliar Svitlana , Zaitseva Anna
Published: October 2023

The work analyzes the problem of ensuring architectural accessibility of sports facilities for people with disabilities, considers and specifies the basic terms in the field of research. 

Adaptive sports complexes (adaptive sports facilities) are a new modern type of sports buildings. An adaptive sports facility is a sports building, designed and built on the basis of universal design, which provides equal conditions of accessibility for all users, regardless of their physical capabilities, and is equipped with specialized equipment for the physical rehabilitation of people with disabilities or temporary health disorders. Thanks to adaptive sports centers, significant socialization of people with disabilities takes place, and conditions are created for organizing their active leisure time. 

Today, in world practice, there are two main trends in the formation of sports facilities for people with disabilities: 1) the formation of specialized centers for Paralympic sports and adaptive sports; 2) creation of accessibility conditions for people with disabilities in general sports complexes of various levels of training. The second trend is more progressive, and the formation of modern sports facilities should be focused on it. 

An important characteristic of the architectural formation of adaptive sports facilities is the urban planning level of their placement. According to the level of urban development, sports centers can be divided into local and city-wide. Local sports centers are located in the structure of residential areas. These include specialized adaptive sports centers and sports and gyms adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. City-wide sports centers should not be connected to residential areas, as they are focused on professional sports (training of Paralympic athletes). 

The architectural formation of adaptive sports facilities should take place as a complex of measures combining rational planning solutions, effective functional zoning, visual communication system, ergodesign and universal design. The main principles of architectural formation of adaptive sports facilities include: the principle of compositional integrity, the principle of accessibility and ergonomics of the environment, the principle of visual informativeness, the principle of functional variability and the principle of compositional and planning structuredness.

Approximately one third of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients are resistant or partially responsive to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is assumed that non-acid reflux is the cause of 15–62% of cases concerning the PPI therapy inefficacy in GERD patients. The review reveals the issues on the prevention and therapy of non-acid GERD types, ways to improve the treatment efficacy. Understanding the patterns of reflux and pathogenetic mechanisms of non-acid GERD types makes it possible to choose the right drugs. For the prevention and treatment of bile reflux, it is necessary to normalize esophageal, gastric and duodenal motility, as well as biliary system function, and prescribe adequate antisecretory and cytoprotective therapy. The basic drugs for the GERD treatment are PPIs. In order to elevate the GERD therapy effect, drugs are used that can enhance the protective factors of the mucous membranes, i.e., cytoprotectors. UDCA drugs are the basis of GERD therapy with a predominance of bile reflux. Prokinetics are used in the treatment of duodenogastroesophageal reflux to normalize the biliary system function, as well as the motor-evacuation function of the stomach and intestines. Heterogeneity of pathogenesis, including the possibility of acid and non-acid gastroesophageal reflux, necessitates GERD differentiated therapy.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (FD) overlap is an adverse clinical case, which is associated with clinical manifestation aggravation of each of the diseases and a significant life quality reduction. Comorbidity occurrence in functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) is due to the presence of common risk factors and pathogenetic mechanisms. This review is aimed at systematization of the available data on the FGID etiopathogenesis. The role of genetic factors, nervous control, in particular n. vagus, providing afferent and efferent interaction between intestine and brain, as well as infectious agents that cause the low-grade inflammation preservation in the intestinal mucosa, is considered. The article also shows the role of mast cell mediators that alter gastrointestinal motility and secretion. The role of Helicobacter pylori in the formation of FGID is considered separately.

Over the past 100 years, there has been a progressive increase in the level of serum uric acid (UA). Modern scientific data suggest that the impact of hyperuricemia (HU) goes beyond the classical gout manifestations. UA has both oxidant and antioxidant properties, which determines its multidirectional effect on the human body as a whole. High serum UA levels may be a sign of increased purine metabolism and decreased adenosine transmission. Currently, there is evidence concerning the impact of all purine metabolism components on the mental sphere. The article discusses the pathogenetic association of purine metabolism disorders with the mental disorders and the possibility of considering UA as one of the targets for drug therapy of mental disorders. The results of recent studies show that allopurinol can be an important drug therapy component in patients with mental disorders. Accessibility and a good safety profile can also be the basis for further drug studies regarding the prospects of its wide practical use in patients with mental disorders and HU.
