Investigating the Effects of Psychopathic and Empathic Traits on Interpersonal Resonance Over Time
Authors:   , Thompson Samantha
Published: February 2024

Empathy is the cornerstone of many forms of human relationships and is a core skill for building meaningful connection between one another. A growing interest in empathy from psychology researchers over the last few decades has seen vast pool of literature surrounding empathy come to be. The same could also be said for psychopathic personality traits. Very little research has enquired about the role of psychopathy on how people resonate with each other at an interpersonal level, with consideration of empathy, interpersonal closeness, and synchronous physiological responding. This study aims to investigate how psychopathic personality traits and cognitive empathy influence interpersonal resonance between two people over a period of time. 106 participants (53 dyads) had their physiological responding recorded, as well as their interpersonal closeness with their partner reported during the study. Participants had their psychopathic personality traits and cognitive empathy levels rated also. Physiological synchrony values were obtained, as well as values representing self-reported interpersonal closeness, as measures of interpersonal resonance. These were then analysed using linear mixed models to determine the effect of psychopathic and empathic traits on these measures of interpersonal resonance. Results showed no significant relationship between any of the three measures of interpersonal resonance used in this study. Though the core results as well as some exploratory visualisations did provide many paths for future research in this area.
Understanding sustainable consumption experiences among the new middle class in an emerging market: A social cognitive approach
Authors:   , DeFraites Lindsey
Published: February 2024

The escalating consumption of the new middle class, a large and rapidly growing consumer group in emerging markets, is a significant sustainability concern. This changing consumption differs from shifts that occurred previously in developed markets because the changes occur alongside the increasing global awareness of sustainability and the widespread negative impacts of climate change. New middle class consumers engage in some current consumption behaviours that have positive sustainability implications. However, status and lifestyle changes provide additional motivations and resources for consumers’ increased consumption, which drives the proliferation of less environmentally-friendly practices within the group. This study explores how these consumers experience sustainable consumption and navigate their behaviours during this transitional period.

Previous literature often examines sustainable consumption either through individual psychological theoretical perspectives (linking components such as attitudes or beliefs to intentions and behaviours) or sociological lenses emphasising social elements such as culture. However, the persistence of the attitude-behaviour gap indicates that there are underexplored factors shaping sustainable consumption. This study uses social cognitive theory, which considers the reciprocal interaction of personal, environmental, and behavioural factors, to investigate the multiple, complex factors shaping consumers’ experiences of sustainable consumption and their behaviours in this transitional period. Adopting a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, this study analyses the wish lists, mobile diaries, and semi-structured interviews of eighteen urban new middle class consumers in Sri Lanka. The findings illustrate that these consumers participate in both sustainable and non-sustainable consumption behaviours with varying levels of conscious consideration for sustainability implications. By applying a social cognitive lens, this study illuminates the multiple, interacting factors that shape how these consumers experience sustainable consumption. Three groups of behaviours illustrate the consumers’ motivations: principled, self-gratifying, and controlled, each of which is shaped by differing factors. Through these findings, this study provides a conceptual model that proposes how changes in consumers’ present and proposed future behaviours will have important sustainability implications. This study offers direction for creating interventions in emerging markets that discourage or modify damaging behaviours, preserve behaviours that have positive sustainability implications, and facilitate consumers’ future sustainable consumption experiences.

Authors: Cieslak Adriéli Mazurek , Rezende Veridiana , Zanella Marli Schmitt
Published: February 2024

The present investigation aimed to analyze and classify problem situations of Common Concentration of Solutions present in Chemistry textbooks, according to the theory of Conceptual Fields. For the analyses, the six Chemistry works approved by the PNLD 2018 were considered and the volume of the 2nd year of each work was selected, as they include the content of Common Concentration of Solutions. The research analyses, carried out in the light of the Conceptual Fields theory, showed that situations of Common Concentration are associated with the Multiplicative Conceptual Field and are classified as Simple Proportion. It was also identified that situations may vary in subclasses: Partition, One-to-Many Multiplication, Quota and Fourth Proportional. Therefore, the results showed that the problem situations of Common Concentration of Solutions are presented in the textbooks analyzed through contexts close to the reality of the students and that mathematical notions such as multiplication, division, operations with decimal numbers, fractions, proportion, volume and conversion of measurement units, as well as different mathematical representations, such as algebraic, numerical, tabular, graphic and natural language are essential for solving Common Concentration problem situations in Chemistry.

Authors: Farrag Mahmoud M. S. , Jawad Laith A. , Park Joo M.
Published: February 2024

The anatomy, growth, and differentiation of the dorsal fin spines of three catfish species collected from the Nile River and Lake Nasser. Egyptian waters are described, and terminology is suggested for their parts. Features of the dorsal fin spine that change with growth are also described. The results showed that in all species studied, the dorsal spine is an elongate, compressed, tapered, slightly arched, osseous structure, bearing a series of retrorse dentations along the anterior and posterior surfaces and has a sharp sagittate tip. The retrorse, anterior dentations are most pronounced in the upper third of the spine and gradually alter in form until they appear as a series of distinct notches on the basal third of the spine. The anterolateral surfaces of the dorsal spine are marked by numerous short, irregular, shallow, anastomosing, longitudinal furrows. In three species (C. auratus, S. schall, S. serratus), the posterior process is poorly developed and directed laterally in young individuals and well produced and directed posteriorly in older specimens. In S. schall and S. serratus, the posterior blocking process of the large specimens has a wavy edge, while in S. serratus, it is curved in young individuals and straight in larger specimens.
Differences of water chemistry, bird assemblages and nutrient loads introduced by waterbirds into morphologically similar waterbodies
Authors: Gwiazda Robert , Kosiba Joanna
Published: February 2024

The number and structure of waterbirds is affected by the size of the waterbody, the presence of islands and macrophytes, but also by their trophy status. The aims of the study were to compare nutrients in water, numbers of waterbird assemblages, and the loading of nitrogen and phosphorus introduced by waterbirds in two similar waterbodies with different rates of water discharge. This study was conducted in two eutrophic shallow waterbodies, P1 and P2 in 2016 and 2017. The median concentrations of NO2 - , NO3 - and NH4 + were 4.0 times, 3.2 times, and 1.7 times greater in the P1 than in the P2 location, respectively. Similar proportions of organic matter in sediments were statistically greater in P1. The number of birds was also significantly greater in P1 than in P2. The waterbirds (Anas platyrhynchos, Aythya fuligula, Fulica atra, Phalacrocorax carbo and Chroicocephalus ridibundus) excreted 5.2 times more total phosphorous and 3.3 times more total nitrogen in P1 than in P2. Significant negative correlations were also found between the concentrations of NO3 - and the number of waterbirds in P1.

Published: February 2024

The monitoring of marine ecosystems is crucial due to the growing threat posed by nuclear power plants and other nuclear anthropogenic emissions. In our work, we used a straightforward and low-cost biomonitoring technique called fluctuation asymmetry (FA) to examine the variation between the left and right sides (developmental instability) of organisms’ traits that were influenced by genetic and environmental variables in the early stages of ontogenesis. The specimens of fish (Leiognathus sp.) and crabs (Portunus sanguinolentus) were collected seasonally and used as bioindicators to determine the effects of Uranium-238 (U-238) radioactivity around a nuclear power plant. The obtained results revealed that FA values were not considered typical values (FA = 0) in all seasons. Moreover, FA values of Leiognathus sp. exhibited insignificant fluctuation for a particular characteristic through the different seasons, while a significant fluctuation occurred amongst the characteristics themselves throughout the same season. Inversely, FA values of the four characteristics in Portunus sanguinolentus displayed seasonal variation amongst them all. Statistically, there was a strong positive correlation (r = 0.5, p < 0.05) between U-238 radioactivity in the flesh of both organisms and the fluctuation asymmetry of different traits but it is not a sign that any radioactive pollution exists.

Published: February 2024

Although vanadium-based nanomaterials have found extensive use in industry, their influence on ecosystems and living organisms is not yet well investigated. In this study, hydrothermal methods were utilized for the synthesis of vanadium pentoxide nanoparticles (V2 O5 NPs). The gained NPs were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, EDS, DLS, SEM and TEM techniques. Subsequently, the toxic effects of V2 O5 NPs on the model green microalgae Chlorella vulgaris were evaluated. According to the obtained results, V2 O5 NPs caused a significant reduction in cell number and biomass production of algae in a dose and time dependent manner. Moreover, flow cytometric analysis confirmed a reduction in the quantity of living cells. Scanning electron microscopy showed plasmolysis and deformation of the cells after exposure to nanoparticles. The photosynthetic pigments and phenolics content exhibited a decrease in comparison with the control sample. Although, non-enzymatic antioxidant system in C. vulgaris displayed an average action, antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) showed a dose dependent increasing trend. These intercellular reactions designated the activation of the antioxidant defense system in response to the induced oxidative stress by V2 O5 NPs.

En el presente trabajo fue evaluado el efecto de los sobrenadantes de Trametes maxima CU1 sobre los parámetros físicos del pan. Para ello, se recuperaron los sobrenadantes de los cultivos de 18 días en un medio mineral suplementado con CuSO4, cáscara de naranja o cacahuete en combinación con paja de trigo, además de la presencia de un co-cultivo con Pycnoporus sanguineus CS2. Los títulos de lacasa, amilasas, celulasas y xilanasas se cuantificaron antes de su adición a la masa de pan. Una vez obtenidos los panes, se determinaron la altura, la dureza, la pérdida de peso (%), los poros por mm2 y el análisis del color. Los resultados de los títulos enzimáticos mostraron una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p ≤ 0,05) entre los tratamientos, destacando en el medio con 350 mM CuSO4 la producción de lacasa, mientras que el medio suplementado con un 5% de cáscara de naranja presentó los cuatro tipos de actividades. En general, los panes presentaron diferencias (p ≤ 0.05) en los parámetros evaluados. Cabe destacar que el pan tratado con el sobrenadante con cáscara de naranja tuvo la mayor altura y color, al igual que el control, además de presentar la menor dureza entre los tratamientos enzimáticos. Por lo tanto, estos resultados demuestran el efecto del medio de cultivo sobre los perfiles enzimáticos del mismo hongo y su potencial aplicación en la industria panadera

El objetivo de este trabajo fue la caracterización fisicoquímica y microbiológica del suelo a partir de muestras tomadas a 15 y 45 cm de profundidad antes del establecimiento de los diferentes tratamientos de laboreo y fertilización. En cuanto a los valores observados en los parámetros físico-químicos, no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p > 0,05) entre las muestras de ambas profundidades. El análisis microbiológico se realizó con muestras de suelo tomadas a 15 cm de profundidad de tres sistemas de labranza, considerando el tratamiento control y el tratamiento con fertilización orgánica con gallinaza. Los recuentos de bacterias aerobias y actinomicetos no mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p > 0,05). Los recuentos de bacterias anaerobias, coliformes y hongos fueron estadísticamente diferentes (p > 0,05) entre los tratamientos debido a la presencia de abono orgánico. Sin embargo, no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p > 0,05) entre los tres sistemas de laboreo. En un segundo ciclo de cultivo, se evaluó el efecto de diferentes concentraciones de materia orgánica, donde T1(N: 60, P: 65,5, K: 74,4) mostró la mayor UFC g-1 (Log) de bacterias aerobias y anaerobias, actinomicetos y hongos, mientras que T3 tuvo la mayor UFC de coliformes. Estos resultados son importantes para comprender mejor la dinámica del suelo e informar sobre las prácticas agrícolas y de gestión del suelo. Además, ponen de relieve la importancia del uso adecuado de fertilizantes orgánicos y la necesidad de seguir investigando para determinar cómo afectan a la salud y la calidad del suelo a largo plazo.

Aby zaspokoić rosnące zapotrzebowanie Wietnamu na energię, kopalnie zwiększają wydobycie węgla, przez co wzrasta głębnośćeksploatacji i zakładane są nowe poziomy wydobywcze na coraz większych głębokościach. Wzrost intensywności i efektywnościwydobycia może być realizowany poprzez wydajne kompleksy ścianowe o dużej mocy elektrycznej maszyn i urządzeń. Warunkiklimatyczne w Wietnamie, warunki geologiczne zalegania pokładów węgla, głębokości eksploatacji, zastosowanie maszyn o większejmocy elektrycznej, mechanizacja robót górniczych przyczyniają się do wzrostu temperatury powietrza w podziemnych wyrobiskachgórniczych. W celu zapewnienia wymaganych warunków pracy górników należy zwiększyć efektywność wentylacji wyrobisk. Niestetynie zawsze jest to niewystarczające dla zapewnienia wymaganych warunków i konieczne jest zastosowanie układów chłodzeniapowietrza z wykorzystaniem systemów klimatyzacji. Na zmiany temperatury powietrza w wyrobiskach górniczych wpływa wieleczynników naturalnych i technicznych oraz organizacyjnych, które trudno je ująć metodami analitycznymi. Dlatego do prognozowaniatemperatury zaproponowano metodę opartą na modelu sztucznej sieci neuronowej ANN, która umożliwia prognozowanietemperatury w powietrza wyrobisk ścianowych. Wyniki prognozy temperatury powietrza zostały porównane z danymi pomiarowymi.Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, że dane rzeczywiste i prognozowane są ze sobą zgodne, dlatego przedstawiona metoda może byćwykorzystana jako narzędzie służb górniczych w walce z zagrożeniem klimatycznym w wyrobiskach podziemnych.

Published: February 2024

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus, commonly referred to as shingles, manifests as a painful skin rash affecting one or more dermatome distributions of the trigeminal nerve, which supplies sensory innervation to the eye and its surrounding structures. Acyclovir stands as the primary pharmacological intervention for the treatment of this condition. However, its administration is associated with a notable risk of adverse effects, with acute kidney injury being the most prevalent. Herein, we present a case report involving a 59-year-old female patient who developed acute kidney injury after the prescription of Acyclovir for the management of herpes zoster ophthalmicus. This case underscores the importance of vigilance regarding potential renal complications associated with Acyclovir therapy, particularly in susceptible patient populations.

Authors: Onyemachi Joshua Ndubuisi  , Gift Adene  , Belonwu Tochukwu Sunday  , Chinedu Emmanuel Mbonu
Published: February 2024

Overtime, building project delivery failures have been blamed on other factors except poor site management. Site management is considered by most building experts as off work-plan activities and as such attention is less giving to its process thereby creating delays in project. Also some others taken it serious have been shrouded with the manual process which in turn complicates the entire system. To solve this menace, the core objective of this paper is the development and deployment of cloud custom based building site information management system with emphasis on real time safety tracking, equipment maintenance tracking and management, materials management, site risk analytics and project progress report. The system is collaborative one and can be updated real time. To achieve the outcome, investigation into existing system was first carried out, as such, system failure were detected to upgrade the new system. However, in building the new system , suitable programming language that can give desired results were examined and Python 3.8 was utilized with Django 2.0.3 framework and Microsoft Visual Studio (MS VS) for the smooth running of programming languages. Due to Django having an ORM, supporting multiple databases, SQLite3 database, a simple database for lightweight applications was used. It is lightweight, fast for simple to medium applications. Results showed that BUSIM prototype app when applied not only will help in assessment of risk and real time overview for building site management, but will additionally improve the industry when adopted and applied to replace current manual process.

Published: February 2024

The presence of fish larvae is one of the main factors for the sustainability of fish resources. Information on the potential of fish larvae is very useful for the conservation of fish resources. This study aims to analyze species composition (richness), individual abundance, the relationship of fish larvae abundance with physical-chemical parameters and formulate strategies and priorities for fish larvae management. The research was conducted in August and October at 8 stations. Potential data were analyzed using diversity index, uniformity index, dominance, and abundance of fish larvae. PCA analysis was used to assess the relationship between water quality parameters and fish larvae abundance. SWOT and AHP analysis were used to formulate management strategies and priorities. Based on the results, 9 genus/species of fish larvae belonging to 9 families, 5 orders of Class Osteichtyes were obtained. The abundance of fish larvae was highest in October. Serranus sp. and Siganus sp. larvae had high individual abundance. The parameters salinity, water temperature, current speed, PO4, SiO3, pH, water brightness, and DO have a correlation (+), meaning that these water quality parameters had a directly proportional relationship with fish larvae abundance. Eight strategies were formulated, with two primary priorities for the potential development of fish larvae in Kotania Bay waters, three secondary priorities and three tertiary priorities.

Diet asam lemak tak jenuh ganda (PUFA) telah diteliti dan terbukti dapat memodulasi peradangan, namun, hanya sedikit beberapa penelitian yang fokusnya pada patobiologi PUFA dengan menggunakan diet isokalori dan isolipid namun belum dapat dijelaskan apakah patologi terkait tersebut disebabkan oleh komposisi diet PUFA, metabolisme lipid, atau obesitas, karena sebagian besar penelitian membandingkan diet dengan yang diberi makan ad libitum. Stres oksidatif dan mitokondria hati berperan dalam patogenesis penyakit hati berlemak nonalcohol. Omega-3 PUFA memiliki peran protektif yang potensial terhadap kerusakan sel oksidatif yang diinduksi ROS pada tikus organ, terutama di hati. Atenuasi hepatic fibrosis oleh EPA (asam eicosapentaenoic) secara signifikan berhubungan dengan kadar ROS hati. EPA juga menekan peningkatan kadar ROS hati dan penurunan penanda oksidatif serum, seperti 8-isoprostan dan feritin. Ikan patin memiliki kandungan asam lemak tak jenuh ganda omega 3 serta selenium yang merupakan antioksidan sehingga dapat menghambat terjadinya progresifisitas kejadian NAFLD maupun MAFLD. Mekanismenya antara lain melalui jalur penghambatan stress oksidatif yang merupakan patofisiologi terjadinya NAFLD maupun MAFLD.

ABSTRAK

Ketuban pecah dini (KPD) adalah pecahnya selaput ketuban sebelum adanya tanda-tanda persalinan, dan dapat terjadi pada kehamilan aterm maupun pada hehamilan prematur.  Inflamasi merupakan kondisi umum yang mendasari terjadinya KPD. Desain penelitian ini adalah penelitian cross sectional deskriptif observasional. Sampel penelitian ini adalah sampel jenuh yang diambil selama 4 bulan  (bulan Agustus-November 2019). Bahan pemeriksaan berupa selaput ketuban yang diambil saat persalinan pasien-pasien yang didiagnosis PROM di RSPAL Surabaya. Kemudian dilakukan pemeriksaan patologi anatomi untuk melihat sebaran sel radang PMN. Total sampel adalah 20 pasien. Berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan histopatologi didapatkan bahwa 11 dari 20 (55%) selaput janin mengandung sel radang polimorfonuklear dan 9 (45%) sisanya tidak mengandung sel radang polimorfonuklear. Lebih dari separuh kasus pecahnya selaput ketuban disebabkan oleh terjadinya keradangan pada selaput ketuban.

ABSTRACT

Premature of membranes (PROM) is the rupture tht amniotic membranes before there are signs of labor, and can occur i8n term pregnancies as well as in premature pregnancy. Inflammation is a common condition that underlies the PROM. The design of this research is a cross sectional descriptive study. Examination material in the form of amniotic membranes taken during delivery of patients diagnosed with PROM at RSPAL Surabaya. The methods sampling is a saturated sample taken for 4 months (August – November 2019), then an anatomic pathology analysis was carried out to see the distribution of PMN inflammatory cells. The total sample is 20 patients. Based on the results histopathological examination, it was found that 55% fetal membranes contained polymorphonuclear cells and 45% without polymorphonuclear cells. More than half of the cases of rupture membranes are caused by inflammation.

Keywords: premature rupture of the membranes, inflammatory cells, polymorphonuclear cell, histopathology.

Background: Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder in pregnancy. In developing countries, cases of preeclampsia are 7 times higher than in developed countries with a prevalence of 1.8%−18%. First-trimester screening needs to be done in detecting preeclampsia in every pregnant woman and preeclampsia prevention strategies with aspirin have proven effective in previous studies.

Research Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of low-dose aspirin administration to prevent preeclampsia at dr. Ramelan for the period 13 June 2019 – 30 September 2021.

Research Methods: The research design used in this study was descriptive using a retrospective cohort study. Researchers used secondary data in the form of patient medical records with a total sample of 118 patients.

Results: From a total sample of 118 people, 30.5% had preeclampsia and 66.1% of patients who were given low-dose aspirin.

Conclusion: Pregnant women who experienced preeclampsia after being given low-dose aspirin were recorded in 31 of 78 patients (39.7%) and pregnant women who experienced preeclampsia when not given low-dose aspirin were recorded in 5 of 40 patients (12.5%).
UJI ORGANOLEPTIK dan DAYA HAMBAT EKSTRAK ALGA COKLAT (Sargassum Polycystum) TERHADAP JAMUR Candida albicans
Authors: Sari Rima Parwati
Published: February 2024

Background: Candida albicans, a fungal normal flora that causes Denture stomatitis. Sargassum polycystum is a brown algae species (Phaeophyceae) which grows almost along the coasts of Indonesia islands, known to have antifungal and antibacterial activities. Purpose: To determine the inhibition of brown algae extract (Sargassum polycystum)’s on the growth of Candida albicans and determine whether Sargassum polycystum extract works as denture cleanser material through organoleptic test. Methods: The sample was Candida albicans equal to 0,5 McFarland (108 CFU/ml). The experiment groups comprises negative control group (K-) with 1% DMSO, positive control group (K+) with 0,2% chlorhexidine gluconate, and treatment groups 1-4 (P1;P2;P3;P4) consecutively with 2,5%; 5%; 10%; 20% Sargassum polycystum ethanol extract macerated for 15 minutes in 5 (Ø 6mm) paper discs. SDA medium was incubated for 24 hours and the visible transparent zone was calculated. Organoleptic test was conducted by asking 10 panelists about the observation on color, smell, and homogeneity level of brown algae extract (Sargassum polycystum) with the concentrations of 2,5%; 5%; 10%; and 20%. The experiment result was analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: Experiment material’s inhibitory effect was undetectable as Sargassum polycystum ethanol extract against 1% DMSO solvent’s solubility was not homogeneous. The organoleptic test result showed that color, smell, and homogeneity level of brown algae extract (Sargassum polycystum) was not compliant with antiseptic standards. Conclusion: No inhibitory effect in brown algae extract (Sargassum polycystum) as the organoleptic test proved the antiseptic standards were not fulfilled.
