Published: December 2019

Socio-economic and political struggles of the ethnic minority people in Bangladesh resulted from the cumulative injustice and exploitation throughout the history – hence, both the retrospective and prospective analysis were essentials for understanding today’s indigenous rights discourse in Bangladesh. The aim of this study was to generate a discourse over indigenous people’s rights with specific case of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHTs) in Bangladesh to be revisited by the intellectual communities, policy and law makers and human rights activists to uphold the social justice. It was a qualitative study used exhaustive literature reviews along with four key Informant Interviews to recontextualize the findings. A discourse analysis revealed that the existing human rights violations against the ethnic minorities in (CHT) was deeply rooted in the habitus of the society with strong influences by the political cultures, which had naturalized the oppression against them through language (expressed/ unexpressed) under the mantle of nationalism. However, “Diversity” could be an alternative language to slowly diffuse the dominant discriminatory political culture and to promote the rights of all ethnic minorities in Bangladesh.
The Main African Studies Think Tank in Russia
Authors: Abramova Irina
Published: December 2019

The modern world is going through the next stage of its transformation. The old world centers of power – the USA and Canada, the EU, and Japan – are gradually giving away their global economic positions to competitors, especially young rapidly growing economies. In conditions of an extremely dangerous direct confrontation between the “old” and “new” players, the geostrategic and military-political importance of the “periphery” zones of rivalry – the Middle East and Africa has increased. Currently, Africa is developing faster than all other regions of the world and has accumulated quite a lot of potential in recent years. The scientific understanding of these processes and the development of specific recommendations constitute the main activity of the Institute for African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which marks its 60th anniversary in 2019. Through those years the Institute has accumulated an outstanding scientific potential, which allowed this think-tank to occupy an important place among the African studies research centers of the world.
Predictors of second language English lexical recognition: Further insights from a large database of second language lexical decision times
Authors: Skalicky Stephen , Crossley Scott , Berger Cynthia M.
Published: December 2019

In this study we analyze a large database of lexical decision times for English content words made by speakers of English as an additional language residing in the United States. Our first goal was to test whether the use of statistical measures better able to model variation associated with participants and items would replicate findings of a previous analysis of this data (Berger, Crossley, & Skalicky, 2019). Our second goal was to determine whether variables related to experiences using and learning English would interact with linguistic features of the target words. Results from our statistical analysis suggest affirmative answers to both of these questions. First, our results included significant effects for linguistic features related to contextual diversity and contextual distinctiveness, providing a replication of findings from the original study in that words appearing in more textual and lexical contexts were responded to quicker. Second, a measure of length of English learning and a measure of daily English use interacted with a measure of orthographic similarity. Our study provides further evidence regarding how a large, crowdsourced database can be used to obtain a better understanding of second language lexical recognition behavior and provides suggestions for further research.

In its development, the supervisor of the education unit is more directed to owning and understanding even demanded to be able to practice what is contained in the ministerial regulation on oversight. One of the demands is about competence in understanding the methods and techniques in supervision. A supervisor is a professional person when carrying out their duties, he acts on the basis of scientific principles to improve the quality of education. A supervisor fosters improved academic quality related to efforts to create better learning conditions in the form of academic aspects, not merely physical material problems. When supervision is faced with performance and quality control of education, it certainly has a different mission from supervision by the school principal. It aims to provide services to school principals in developing the quality of educational institutions and facilitating school principals to be able to carry out institutional management effectively and efficiently.

Published: December 2019

The school is in the middle of the community and can be said to be a double-edged knife. The first eye is to preserve the positive values that exist in society, so that the inheritance of community values goes well. The second eye is as an institution that can drive changes in values and traditions in accordance with the progress and demands of life and development. Both of these functions seem contradictory, but actually both are done at the same time. Therefore, this controversial function requires mutual understanding between the school and the community.Values that are consistent with the needs of development are preserved, while those that are not appropriate must be changed. The implementation of the functions of these schools, especially secondary schools that are in the midst of remote communities, become the foundation of people's expectations for their progress. To be able to carry out this function community relations must always be good. In addition, education is a shared responsibility between schools, the government and the community. The realization of that responsibility cannot be carried out if the relationship between the school and the community is not well established.

Leadership is an important part of management that is planning and organizing, but the main role of leadership is to influence others to achieve their stated goals. This is proof that the leader may be a weak manager if the planning is bad which causes the group to go in the wrong direction. As a result, although they can move the work team, but they do not walk towards the achievement of organizational goals. In order to respond to the challenges of globalization which is marked by the existence of a very tight and sharp global competition.A school is a complex and unique organization, so it requires a high level of coordination. To help principals in organizing schools appropriately, there is a need for a theoretical essence of thought, as principals must be able to understand formal organizational theory that is useful for describing the collaboration between school structures and outcomes. Therefore, it is said that "school success is a school that has successful leaders.

When and how to calculate the Bayes factor with an interval null hypothesis
Authors: Palfi Bence , Dienes Zoltan
Published: December 2019

Existing calculators of the Bayes factor typically represent the prediction of the null-hypothesis with a point null model (e.g., Dienes & Mclatchie, 2018; Morey & Rouder, 2015; Wagenmakers et al., 2018). The point null model remains a good approximation of the null hypothesis as long as the standard error of the estimate of interest is large relative to the range of theoretically negligible effect sizes. However, this assumption may be violated, for instance, when there is big data and the standard error becomes comparable to or smaller than the range of effect sizes that is meaningless according to the theory. In this case, the conclusion that was based on the point null model may not be scientifically valid. Here, we introduce a case study to demonstrate why is it critical to calculate the Bayes factor with an interval null hypothesis rather than a point null hypothesis when the smallest meaningful effect size is not approximately zero relative to the standard error.
Modeling Psychopathology: From Data Models to Formal Theories
Authors: Haslbeck Jonas M B , Ryan Oisín , Robinaugh Donald , Waldorp Lourens , Borsboom Denny
Published: December 2019

Over the past decade there has been a surge of empirical research investigating mental disorders as complex systems. In this paper, we investigate how to best make use of this growing body of empirical research and move the field toward its fundamental aims of explaining, predicting, and controlling psychopathology. We first review the contemporary philosophy of science literature on scientific theories and argue that fully achieving the aims of explanation, prediction, and control requires that we construct formal theories of mental disorders: theories expressed in the language of mathematics or a computational programming language. We then investigate three routes by which one can use empirical findings (i.e., data models) to construct formal theories: (a) using data models themselves as formal theories, (b) using data models to infer formal theories, and (c) comparing empirical data models to theory-implied data models in order to evaluate and refine an existing formal theory. We argue that the third approach is the most promising path forward. We conclude by introducing the Abductive Formal Theory Construction (AFTC) framework, informed by both our review of philosophy of science and our methodological investigation. We argue that this approach provides a clear and promising way forward for using empirical research to inform the generation, development, and testing of formal theories both in the domain of psychopathology and in the broader field of psychological science.
Do 3D face images capture cues of strength, weight, and height better than 2D face images do?
Authors: Holzleitner Iris Jasmin , Jones Alex Lee , Shiramizu Victor Kenji Medeiros , O'Shea Kieran J. , Fasolt Vanessa , Jones Benedict C , DeBruine Lisa Marie
Published: December 2019

A large literature exists investigating the extent to which physical characteristics (e.g., strength, weight, and height) can be accurately assessed from face images. While most of these studies have employed two dimensional (2D) face images as stimuli, some recent studies have used three dimensional (3D) face images because they may contain cues not visible in 2D face images. We know of no direct empirical tests of this claim and the equipment required for 3D face images is considerably more expensive than that required for 2D face images. Consequently, we will test whether 3D face images capture cues of strength, weight, and height better than 2D face images do by directly comparing the accuracy of strength, weight, and height ratings of 2D and 3D face images taken simultaneously.
Probing the minor tonal hierarchy
Authors: Vuvan Dominique T , Prince Jon , Schmuckler Mark A.
Published: December 2019

One facet of tonality perception that has been fairly understudied in the years since Krumhansl and colleagues’ groundbreaking work on tonality (Krumhansl & Kessler, 1982; Krumhansl & Shepard, 1979) is the music theoretical notion that the minor scale can have one of three distinct forms: natural, harmonic, or melodic. The experiment reported here fills this gap by testing if listeners form distinct mental representations of the minor tonal hierarchy based on the three forms of the minor scale. Listeners heard a musical context (a scale or a sequence of chords) consisting of one of the three minor types (natural, harmonic, or melodic) and rated a probe tone according to how well it belonged with the preceding context. Listeners’ probe tone ratings corresponded well to the minor type that had been heard in the preceding context, regardless of whether the context was scalar or chordal. These data expand psychological research on the perception of tonality, and provide a convenient reference point for researchers investigating the mental representation of Western musical structure.
The looting during the social upsurge of October 2019 in Chile
Authors: Carrasco-Jiménez Edison
Published: December 2019

Since the social explosion in October 2019 in Chile, a series of social phenomena have occurred in that country that are worthy of review and study. Some of these phenomena have antisocial/criminal characteristics. Within these phenomena, looting is one of them. These took place from the first moments of the social outburst. The objective of this research is to study the criminal phenomenon of looting during the social explosion of October 2019 and throughout that period. But in addition, and because they are similar social phenomena and occurred in the same geographical-human space (Chile) and in periods not so distant in time, the looting that took place during the earthquake of February 27th, 2010 (27/F) in Chile will be the object of investigation. Our theoretical option to study this criminal phenomenon will be the so-called Disaster Studies, and in particular, from what we could call a disaster criminology. We will use not only the specialized literature on disasters, but also the academic works related to the earthquake of February 27th and the journalistic literature related to the looting during the earthquake of 27/F as well as that related to the social explosion of October 2019.

There is a problem of insufficient effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for the relapse prevention in patients with opioid dependence. In Russian Federation naltrexone is a mainly used medication for treatment of opioid addiction. However, it has no effects on stress, craving, and impulsiveness. Alpha-2 adrenoreceptor agonists can reduce the severity of these symptoms and thus might improve effectiveness of naltrexone treatment. Pharmacogenetic analysis is useful for determining potential responders and nonresponders to the treatment of opioid dependence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variability of response to pharmacotherapy of naltrexone and guanfacin in patients with opioid dependence syndrome. This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial using a pharmacogenetic approach. The good tolerability and safety of naltrexone and guanfacine combination with long-term course treatment for stabilization of remission of opioid dependence was scientifically substantiated. Was showed a moderate stress-protective and anti-craving effect of guanfacin in the period of early remission with opioid dependence syndrome. Genetic analysis is useful for determining potential responders to the treatment of opioid dependence, genotyping can increase effectiveness of pharmacotherapy.

Published: December 2019

According to modern data, about a third of patients suffering from schizophrenia are considered treatment resistant. The metabolism of about 20% of medicines and mainly psychotropic drugs is caused by the isoenzyme CYP2D6. This article presents the data of the CYP2D6 gene study as biomarkers for the treatment resistant schizophrenia. The study included 130 patients, men (65.4%) and women (34.6%) aged 18 to 60 years with schizophrenia. Based on the results, we found no effect of rs1065852 and rs3892097 polymorphisms gene CYP2D6 on treatment resistant schizophrenia.
Genomic mechanisms of anxiety and depression pathogenesis in experimental models
Authors: Kalueff A. V. , Demin K. A. , Volgin A. D.
Published: December 2019

Affective disorders — including anxiety and depression — are the most prevalent human brain diseases. Stress is the most common cause of these human psychopathologies, and is also often used to develop their experimental models in animals. In addition to genetic and environmental factors, genomic and epigenetic processes play an important role in affective pathogenesis. The aim of the present study is to examine the expression of brain genes in mice in the chronic 20-day social stress model developed by Prof. N.N. Kudryavtseva (Institute of Cytology and Genetics) and to experimentally test the hypothesis on ‘genes-integrators’ whose brain activity can specifically integrate anxiety-depressive mechanisms. The report will for the first time provide data on the existence of several such putative brain genes whose expression in the hippocampus and cortex changes dynamically as stress transitions from the «anxiety» (10 days) to the «depressive» phase (20 days), including a number of cytokine and cellular structural genes whose expression is specifically altered only in the «transitional» stage (15 days). The findings provide a new perspective on the complex genomics of the anxiety-depressive pathogenesis of the CNS, and can be translationally significant, including in terms of finding new potential targets for the therapy of anxiety and depression based on such ‘gene-integrators’.
The PsyCourse Infrastructure as an Example for Longitudinal Research in Biological Psychiatry
Authors: Gryaznova A.
Published: December 2019

Both genetic and environmental factors play a major role in the etiology of mental illnesses. Longitudinal studies collecting many phenotypes and biomaterials help to elucidate this complex interplay. PsyCourse is an observational longitudinal multi-center (19 centers) study of severe mental disorders conducted in Germany and Austria, that, to date, collected data from more than 1,500 patients and control individuals. Here, we give an overview of the key properties and, specifically, the infrastructure of the PsyCourse study. Beside the study protocol, we provide information on IT tools, data management, data protection, quality control, data analysis, and data sharing with collaborators. We also highlight the need for fundamental preparation.
Genome-wide association studies in suicidology — analysis of main results
Authors: Rozanov V. A. , Mazo G. E. , Kulemin N. A. , Gorbachev A. Yu. , Kasyanov E. D.
Published: December 2019

Studies of suicide genetics can be divided into 3 periods: 1) period of classical methods of behavioral genetics; 2) candidate genes association studies, and 3) genome-wide association studies. The majority of studies using candidate genes strategy has been dedicated to main neurotransmitter systems (serotonine, catecholamines, GABA, excitatory aminoacids system, etc.) and in the last decade — to genes of the stress-reactivity system and neurotrophins. On the other hand among main GWAS findings are genes that are involved in neurodevelopment, neuroplasticity, cell adhesion and migration, proliferation and intracellular signaling, as well as immune system functions. We consider it a confirmation of the relevance of the stressvulnerability models that imply key role of the early development and involvement of the neuroplasticity, as well as models that focus on stress as a systemic reaction of the organism in pathogenesis of suicidal behavior. It should be noted that findings of different GWAS studies most often do not coincide and in general produce rather heterogeneous picture. It may be due to differing bioinformatics approaches, phenotypes description differences and study design peculiarities. We consider that more research is needed in all three directions with involvement of NGS approaches, in particular whole-exome sequencing.

Currently, there is a lack of pharmacogenetic research of antipsychotics’ safety in children and adolescents with acute psychotic episodes. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 and ABCB1 are the most likely candidates for such studies. AIM.To establish possible associations of CYP3A, CYP2D6, ABCB1 polymorphisms with safety of antipsychotics of an acute psychotic episode in adolescents during the first 14 days of treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. We observed 53 adolescents, hospitalized with acute psychotic episode, during 14 days of treatment. Mean age was 15,08±1,7 years. All patients took antipsychotic as the main drug. The tolerance to antipsychotics was assessed using UKU SERS, SAS, BARS. We collected a buccal epitelium from each patient and genotyped CYP3A4*22 (rs2740574), CYP3A5*3 (6986A>G, rs7767746), CYP2D6*4, *10 (rs3892097, rs1065852), ABCB1 1236C>T (rs1128503), 2677G>T/A (rs2032582), 3435C>T (rs1045642) by real-time PCR. RESULTS. Scores of UKU SERS, SAS, BARS, AIMS scales did not correlated with average doses of antipsychotics. Distribution of genetic polymorphisms were in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The carriage of CYP2D6*4 was associated with the presence of «Asthenia / Lassitude / lncreased Fatigability» (70% vs. 3.6%, p=0.039), the carriage of CYP2D6*10 was associated with «Increased dream activity» (53.8% vs. 22.5%, p=0.043). The «Increased Duration of Sleep» was more often observed in homozygotes according to the polymorphisms ABCB1 2677G>T/A (50% vs. 15.8%, p=0.006) and 3435C>T (41.7% vs. 8.2%, p=0.007). Carriers of TT polymorphism homozygote ABCB1 2677G>T/A also more frequently noted «Polyuria/polydypsia» (37.5% vs. 5.18%, p=0.045). CONCLUSION.Genetic polymorphisms CYP2D6*4, *10, ABCB1 2677G>T/A and 3435C>T increased a risk of adverse drug effects of antipsychotics in adolescents with acute psychotic episode.
Genetic risk factors of syndrome pain dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint
Authors: Kotsiubinskaya J. V.
Published: December 2019

Currently, the syndrome of pain dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint is not considered exclusively a local disorder, but rather is considered as a clinical outcome of the combined effect of many factors (local and systemic), which act simultaneously and determine, ultimately, the manifestation of the disease. In the framework of the biopsychosocial concept, a hypothesis has been formulated about the importance of the polymorphism of the COMT and ADRB-2 genes for the development of SDJ TMJs, which make these individuals “vulnerable” to the development of chronic pain syndromes. It was found that a decrease in COMT activity leads to an increase in the level of catecholamimes, in particular, such as adrenaline, which contribute to the formation of persistent pain states by stimulating β2-adrenergic receptors in the peripheral and central nervous system.

The gene CYP2D6 is of great interest also due to its highly polymorphic nature and involvement in a high number of medication metabolisms. The presence of polymorphisms in the CYP2D6 gene may modulate enzyme level and activity, thereby affecting individual responses to pharmacological treatment.  The purpose of this study was to investigate of CYP2D6*10 polymorphism prevalence in patients with epilepsy in the North-West and the Siberian region of the Russia. The results of the study showed differences in the prevalence of alleles responsible for “intermediate” metabolites in the North-West and Siberian regions of Russia were identified, it’s may be associated with genetic drift and accumulation of alleles typical for European and Asian populations.

Published: December 2019

Adesão ao tratamento não está ligada ao simples ato de administrar os medicamentos, mas, também à forma de como a pessoa manipula o seu tratamento em relação à dose, horário, frequência e duração do tratamento. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a adesão medicamentosa entre hipertensos cadastrados em uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família, do município de Redenção, situado no sudeste do estado do Pará. Este é um estudo transversal, descritivo e exploratório, com abordagem quantitativa. Foram aplicados questionários baseado no estudo de Morisky e Green, que contêm questões dicotômicas em relação ao tratamento medicamentoso, clínico e sociodemográfico. A amostra foi constituída por 44 hipertensos, sendo 77% mulheres e 23% homens. Dentre os entrevistados, 52% apresentaram adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso, enquanto 48% houve a não adesão. O resultado da pesquisa foi alcançado, verificou-se que a incidência da não adesão é alta aos resultados esperados, o que representa ainda um insuficiente grau de adesão.

Published: December 2019

This study aims to investigate the functional performance of interruptions in political news interviews. The selected sample for this study consists of approximately 200 minutes of recordings of political news interviews from the public state owned channel PTV World. The methodological framework for this study comes from Conversation Analysis. The analytical framework for the analysis has been developed from a study of literature pertaining to interruptions. At the initial level of analysis all interruptions are identified for their function (cooperative, disruptive and neutral), finally a qualitative exploration is carried out to see what purpose these serve in the specific format of news interviews. The findings reveal that a significant number of interruptions (80%) are of the disruptive nature. This result implicates that the interruptions by anchor are being used for controlling talk and significantly setting the agenda of the discussion within the political news interview and impacting the political view of the audience.

Re-reading Silko’s Ceremonies and American History
Authors: Shafiq Qasim , Bhatti Shaheena Ayub , Murtaza Ghulam
Published: December 2019

This article retrieves the history of Native American ceremonies to highlight the aboriginal ways of being. Using Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony to retrieve the reality of the ceremonies, I argue how the myths inscribed in Native American contemporary writings are the social and cultural embedment of the ceremonies in which they were written and thus the knowledge of prehistoric times. I focus on Silko’s modern techniques to revive the myths of oral tradition to understand and publicize the truths of Native American ceremonial world. She explains the ceremony of 1955 with reference to the ceremonies incorporated in Laguna myths, thereby juxtaposing two different time periods: the pre-Columbian timelessness and the post-second World War fragmented tribal community in Laguna in 1955. To understand the overlapping of poetic-prose stories I explain the function of ceremony in the prosperity of the Pueblo and assimilate the present in the past and the future.
