Authors: Barna Olha , Korost Yaroslava
Published: July 2024

The objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined medication, which includes ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), quercetin, and zinc oxide in the treatment and prevention of complications of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) at the outpatient level.
Materials and methods. 5,982 patients (42.68% men and 57.32% women) aged 18 years and older with symptoms of ARVI participated in the study. The study was conducted in two stages: 1) diagnosis of ARVI and prescribing treatment, including a combined medication; 2) final assessment of the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of therapy.
The total duration of participation in the study for one patient was no more than 1 month. In the complex treatment of ARVI at the outpatient level, according to the instructions, 1, 2 or 3 tablets per day were prescribed, depending on the severity of the course of the disease. The duration of treatment was from 5 to 30 days.
1 tablet of the combined medication includes ascorbic acid (vitamin C) – 100 mg, sodium ascorbate – 450 mg (equivalent to ascorbic acid – 400 mg), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) – 1000 IU, quercetin – 250 mg, zinc oxide (equivalent to elemental zinc) – 10 mg. Efficacy was evaluated based on the frequency of bacterial complications of ARVI, which required the antibiotic therapy. The safety of the therapy was assessed by the frequency of adverse outcomes and their severity.
Results. The main indication for the use of the combined medication was ARVI (83% of patients) without etiological clarification, 5% of patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 and 11% – influenza. In 6% of patients the drug was prescribed for prophylactic purposes and for non-infectious diseases.
Clinical manifestations of acute bronchitis were found in 12% of patients with ARVI, acute sinusitis – in 8% of patients. Bacterial complications (pneumonia, otitis, bacterial sinusitis, and bronchitis) in which there is a need to use systemic antibiotics occurred in 4.79% (95% CI: 4.27–5.35%) of ARVI patients which have received the combined medication.
The frequency of prescribing systemic antibiotics increased in proportion to the severity of the disease and the age of the patients. Adverse non-serious, rare side effects when using the combined medication were found in 0.56% of patients who participated in the study.
Conclusions. The combined medication, which includes ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), quercetin, zinc oxide, has good tolerance and can be recommended to alleviate the condition of patients with ARVI, prevent complications, shorten the duration of treatment and promote faster recovery of the patient.
A Fly-on-the-Wall Study: Measuring Behavior in Social Landscapes
Authors: Corona Joshua
Published: July 2024

Understanding the dynamics of intergroup contact and avoidance is crucial for addressing social discord and fostering positive interactions between distinct social groups. This article introduces the Fly-on-the-Wall Study, employed to measure intergroup social avoidance on "Link Light Rail" train platforms in Seattle, Washington. The study unobtrusively observes and codes public encounters between the first two arrivers on the platform to investigate the extent and conditions under which racial and social avoidance occur. The analysis relates levels of avoidance to individual and contextual factors including sex, age, perceived ethnicity, and objectively coded skin color. Subtle forms of discrimination, manifested as social avoidance, can exacerbate feelings of antagonism among already disenfranchised groups, leading to significant social and political consequences. The findings provide insights into the modifiers of intergroup avoidance and offer valuable implications for developing targeted interventions to promote positive intergroup contact, reduce discrimination, and inform public policy.
Faux souvenirs et vieillissement normal : rôle des paradigmes et des facteurs cognitifs
Authors: Lefebvre Léo , Gilet Anne-Laure , Colombel Fabienne
Published: July 2024

Dans la littérature, le vieillissement est souvent associé à une plus grande susceptibilité aux faux souvenirs, bien que celle-ci semble varier selon le paradigme employé. Par ailleurs, des facteurs cognitifs tels que les fonctions exécutives ou la mémoire de travail pourraient contribuer à expliquer la variation des différences liées à l’âge dans la production de faux souvenirs. Cette revue propose une synthèse des travaux empiriques sur les faux souvenirs dans le vieillissement normal avec les paradigmes DRM et de désinformation à l’aune des deux modèles théoriques régulièrement utilisés pour expliquer la susceptibilité aux faux souvenirs. Nous présentons ensuite les principaux facteurs cognitifs et questionnons leur rôle dans l’apparition de faux souvenirs selon les paradigmes et l’âge. La prise en compte de ces facteurs cognitifs apparait alors indispensable pour parvenir à une meilleure compréhension des différences liées à l’âge quant à la susceptibilité aux faux souvenirs.
‘Are you struggling to keep it up?’: Problematic content in day-trading adverts targeted at men on Instagram
Authors: Whybrow Allegra Katharine , ANDRADE Maira , Torrance Jamie , Newall Philip Warren Stirling
Published: July 2024

Women’s gendered insecurities have been exploited by the beauty industry for some time, and similar insecurities around wealth and status might be exploitable among men on social media. Specifically, investment day-trading might appear a marketable high-status activity, despite the reality that it is a high-risk “gambling-like” activity that is overwhelmingly likely to lead to financial losses. This study therefore examined the content of day-trading advertisements and their potential to contribute to gambling-like harms among men. Utilizing grounded theory, we analyzed 100 audiovisual day-trading adverts from 68 Instagram accounts, identifying three major themes and thirteen sub-themes. First, adverts perpetuated the false hope of winning with promises of easy low-risk money, and by specifically targeting young or naive men and those with previous trading losses. Second, adverts encouraged viewers’ insecurities through social comparison or direct shaming, emphasizing perceived low-status and failures to adhere to hegemonic masculine ideals. Third, adverts promised transformative solutions to these inadequacies through day-trading, such as via expensive cars, Rolex watches, travel, and attractive women, all presented as rewards for risk-taking and hard work. This conceptual model was cyclical, as the inevitable trading losses were attributed to personal failures, while the number of distinct advertisers and their varying approaches also served to re-hook previous losers. These findings highlight the varied ways that gendered insecurities can be promoted and exploited via social media, and underscore the need for further research and policy attention toward advertising on social media platforms.
Anticipating disappointment in expectations for politics
Authors: Rhee Kasey
Published: July 2024

Democracy requires that every citizen experience loss. But in practice, hierarchical societies result in unequal distributions of loss. Higher status groups lose less frequently than lower status groups. How do individuals who frequently lose cope with repeated loss? I propose that one way frequent losers navigate democracy is by preemptively expecting to lose. Setting expectations in anticipation of loss makes losses less painful when they occur. I motivate this claim using theory from social psychology about how we mentally prepare for disappointing outcomes, and theory from behavioral economics about reference-dependence, or how people evaluate outcomes in terms of whether they are relatively better or worse than a reference outcome. Using a measure of utility that incorporates both ideal outcomes and expected outcomes, I provide two pieces of evidence for a long-standing claim that Black Americans’ diminished expectations explain their relatively muted anger at loss. First, lowered expectations mean that positive outcomes exceed Black expectations by a larger margin than they exceed white expectations, and negative outcomes fall short of Black expectations by a smaller margin than they fall short of white expectations. Second, lower expectations among Black Americans does not lead to greater excitement when expectations are exceeded. Instead, lower expectations affect politics by numbing Black reactions to outcomes that are worse than expected. These results add to work that uses reference-dependence to explain political behavior, as well as knowledge on how status determines individual orientations to democracy.
It From Qubit: Spacetime Emergence from Quantum Entanglement
Authors: Nye Logan
Published: July 2024

The reconciliation of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains one of the most profound challenges in modern physics. This paper introduces and rigorously investigates a novel framework proposing that spacetime emerges from quantum entanglement in a lower-dimensional quantum system. We develop a precise mathematical mapping between entanglement structures and geometric properties of emergent spacetime, demonstrating how Einstein's field equations can be derived from fundamental quantum entanglement dynamics. Our approach provides a unified perspective on quantum mechanics and general relativity, offering potential resolutions to long-standing problems, including the black hole information paradox. We extend this framework to cosmological scenarios and discuss experimental predictions, representing a significant step towards a complete theory of quantum gravity. This work not only advances our understanding of the nature of space, time, and gravity as emergent phenomena but also suggests new avenues for empirical investigation of quantum gravitational effects.
On Spacetime Geometry and Gravitational Dynamics
Authors: Nye Logan
Published: July 2024

This work presents a theoretical framework suggesting that gravity and space-time geometry emerge from underlying quantum informational processes. By integrating quantum information theory with general relativity, we explore the profound implications of quantum error correction, entanglement entropy, and quantum complexity in the context of spacetime emergence. Utilizing key results such as the Ryu-Takayanagi formula, which relates entanglement entropy to minimal surfaces in AdS/CFT, and the complexity-action duality, which links quantum complexity to the action of the Wheeler-DeWitt patch, we provide a comprehensive analysis of how these quantum informational measures give rise to spacetime geometry and gravitational dynamics. Our findings propose that the macroscopic structure of spacetime and the force of gravity are emergent phenomena resulting from the collective behavior of quantum entanglement and complexity. This research challenges conventional views of reality by demonstrating that the fabric of spacetime is a manifestation of underlying quantum processes. We extend these concepts beyond AdS spacetimes to include non-AdS geometries, such as de Sitter and flat spacetimes, further supporting the universality of our framework. Future research directions include empirical validation through quantum computing experiments, refinement of theoretical models, and deeper exploration of the quantum informational foundations of spacetime and gravity. By bridging quantum mechanics and general relativity, this work contributes to a more profound understanding of the universe's fundamental principles and opens new avenues for advancements in quantum computing, materials science, and the unification of fundamental forces.
The Extended Einstein Field Equations: A Path to Quantum Gravity
Authors: Nye Logan
Published: July 2024

This thesis introduces an extension to the Einstein Field Equations by incorporating quantum informational measures, specifically entanglement entropy and quantum complexity, into the gravitational framework. This approach aims to bridge the gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics, offering a unified theory that integrates the geometric structure of spacetime with the principles of quantum information. The extended field equations derived in this work remain consistent with both classical general relativity and quantum information theory. This novel formulation provides potential solutions to the black hole information paradox and offers new insights into the nature of dark energy. Our investigation reveals unexpected findings, implying the role of quantum complexity in driving cosmic inflation and the emergence of classical spacetime from quantum entanglement patterns. Through perturbative and non-perturbative analyses, we explore quantum corrections to classical gravitational solutions, modified particle motion equations, and new perspectives on black hole thermodynamics and cosmological evolution. Notably, this study suggests that entanglement entropy may influence large-scale structure formation and that quantum informational terms might naturally explain the universe's late-time acceleration. The thesis also proposes observable predictions, such as unique signatures in gravitational wave observations and cosmological data, to guide future experimental tests of this framework. By investigating how gravity and quantum information interact, this work sheds light on how spacetime might emerges from quantum properties, offering a comprehensive framework for exploring quantum gravity.
The Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale: Development, validation, and associations with workplace outcomes
Authors: Littrell Shane
Published: July 2024

From boardrooms and brown bags, to emails and earnings calls, business culture often seems overrun by “corporate bullshit,” a type of semantically empty or otherwise vague rhetoric that leverages abstruse corporate buzzwords and jargon in a way that misrepresents or obscures some aspect of organizational reality. Though corporate bullshit may sometimes seem harmless, it can disrupt organizational and employee effectiveness in numerous ways including obstructing effective communication, increasing employee disengagement, tarnishing company reputation, and exposing businesses to legitimate financial and legal risks. Here, results from three studies (N = 745) report the construction and validation of the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale (CBSR), a novel measure of individual differences in receptivity to corporate bullshit. Results show that corporate bullshit receptivity is distinct from a general affinity for corporate speech. Moreover, it is significantly associated with measures of analytic thinking and other bullshit-related constructs in theoretically-consistent ways. Importantly, corporate bullshit receptivity is strongly associated with several measures of organizational culture and job performance and is a strong, robust predictor of work-related decision-making. Overall, the findings establish the CBSR as a valid and reliable tool to aid researchers in examining the causes, correlates, and consequences of bullshit in the workplace.
Stick to your Role! Stability of Personal Values Expressed in Large Language Models

Published: July 2024

Standard Large Language Models (LLMs) evaluation contains many different queries from similar minimal contexts (e.g. multiple choice questions). Conclusions from such evaluations are little informative about models' behavior in different new contexts (e.g. in deployment). We argue that context-dependence should be studied as a property of LLMs. We study the stability of value expression over different contexts (conversation topics): Rank-order stability on the population (interpersonal) level, and Ipsative stability on the individual (intrapersonal). We observe consistent trends - Mixtral, Mistral, Qwen, and GPT-3.5 model families being more stable than LLaMa-2 and Phi - over those two types of stability, two different simulated populations, and even on a downstream behavioral task. Overall, LLMs exhibit low Rank-Order stability, highlighting the need for future research on role-playing LLMs, as well as on context-dependence in general. This paper provides a foundational step in that direction, and is the first study of value stability in LLMs.
Advancing Group-based Disparities Research and Beyond: A Cautionary Note on Selection Bias
Authors: Ren Dongning , Loh Wen Wei
Published: July 2024

Obtaining an accurate understanding of group-based disparities is an important pursuit. However, unsound study designs can lead to erroneous conclusions that impede this crucial work. In this paper, we highlight a critical methodological challenge to drawing valid causal inferences in disparities research – selection bias. We describe two commonly adopted study designs in the literature on group-based disparities. The first is outcome-dependent selection, when the outcome determines whether an observation is selected. The second is outcome-associated selection, when the outcome is associated with whether an observation is selected. We explain the methodological challenge each study design presents and why it can lead to selection biases when evaluating the actual disparity of interest. We urge researchers to recognize the complications that beset these study designs and to avoid the insidious impact of inappropriate selection. We offer practical suggestions on how researchers can improve the rigor and demonstrate the defensibility of their conclusions when investigating group-based disparities. Finally, we highlight the broad implications of selection mechanisms for psychological science.

Theory and research on autistic people’s perceived emotions in music is mixed. Results on this topic vary based on the methods used, are heavily reliant on basic emotions and categorical methods, and rarely applied to adults. Here we use a novel audio-based method to test autistic people’s perception of emotions in music. Specifically, we administered an audio-based test where adult participants listened to 10 pieces of Western music and rated each on 27 different emotions. In Study 1, we included a sample of 128 people (64 autistic adults matched by sex, age, and musical training with 64 non-autistic adults). Results showed no significant differences between autistic and non-autistic people on mean ratings of any of the 27 perceived emotions, nor on three broad perceptual dimensions outlining Arousal, Valence, and Depth (AVD). However, for both groups, there were small correlations between perception of emotions in music ratings and individual differences in empathizing (E) and systemizing (S). In Study 2, we included a sample of 3,372 non-autistic people who completed the same measures as in Study 1. Results showed differences in Depth perception across empathizing-systemizing (E-S) cognitive types. Together, the results show that autistic people do not differ in their ability to perceive emotions in music, compared to non-autistic people, but that there may be differences in the underlying mechanisms involved in music perception based on E-S cognitive types. We discuss how that the ability of autistic people to perceive emotions from music may stem from the predictable nature of music, and autistic people’s ability to accurately recognize rules in music. This hypothesis needs to be tested in future research.
Sensory Inputs are Encoded in Memory After Integration with Other Senses for Most Individuals

Perception of objects and events is generally multisensory, with crossmodal interactions at times leading to significant modifications in perception. However, it is not clear whether memory encoding occurs before or after these sensory integrations. Each encoding scheme—unisensory (pre-integration) and multisensory (post-integration)—has its own advantages and disadvantages. This study addresses this critical question directly for the first time. Utilizing the McGurk Illusion, where incongruent auditory and visual syllables create a fused perception distinct from individual modalities, we explored the stage at which memory encoding takes place. Across two experiments (N=121 and N=132), we found that most participants recognized the fused syllable as more familiar, indicating that sensory information is predominantly encoded after multisensory integration. These findings challenge traditional memory models that prioritize unisensory encoding, and underscore the cognitive efficiency of integrating sensory inputs to form robust memory representations.

This study investigated how the work environment impacts employee retention at Bhatbhateni supermarket in Kathmandu Valley. The study is guided by a quantitative research approach that involves descriptive, relational, and causal designs. The described data were gathered from 117 samples using a structured questionnaire, and the sampling method used in this study was convenient. The data were analysed using various tools, such as the mean, median, standard deviation, chi-square tests, correlation, and regression analysis. This study established the influence of each factor under working conditions on employee retention. The study revealed a significant positive association between physical, mental, and social work environment and employee retention; that is, high quality working conditions are associated with better retention. In addition, the implications of the study go beyond the specific setting and involve multiple industries and businesses. Creating a comfortable work environment is likely to enhance employees' sense of belonging and well-being, thereby bolstering their commitment to staying with the organization, ultimately fostering higher rates of employee retention, and positively influencing overall organizational performance.

Published: July 2024

The effect of leadership styles on employee engagement is widely recognized as an indispensable factor in organizational success. While previous studies have explored the relationships between leadership styles and employee engagement in different contexts, no research has yet scrutinized how leadership styles influence employee engagement specifically in construction companies within Bhaktapur. Thus, this study investigates the influences of various dimensions of leadership styles, such as transformational, transactional and laissez-faire leadership styles, on employee engagement in construction companies. This study utilized a quantitative research approach to analyse the effect of leadership styles on employee engagement. A combination of research designs, including descriptive, relational and causal research designs, was employed in the study. Relevant information was collected through a questionnaire from 137 samples, and the sampling method used in this study was convenient. The study indicates that an employee’s level of engagement with work is strongly influenced by leadership style. The results of the analysis show that transformational and transactional leadership styles have a positive but insignificant effect on employee engagement. Similarly, the laissez-faire leadership style positively and significantly affects employee engagement.
