No effects of the theta-frequency transcranial electrical stimulation for recall, attention control, and relation integration in working memory
Authors: Ociepka Michał , Chinta Suvarna Rekha , Basoń Paweł , Chuderski Adam
Published: December 2023

Recent studies have suggested that transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and especially the theta-frequency tACS, can improve human performance on working memory tasks. However, evidence to date is mixed. Moreover, the two WM tasks applied most frequently, namely the n-back and change-detection tasks, might not constitute canonical measures of WM capacity. In a relatively large sample of young healthy participants (N = 62), we administered a more canonical WM task that required stimuli recall, as well as we applied two WM tasks tapping into other key WM functions: attention control (the antisaccade task) and relational integration (the graph mapping task). The participants performed these three tasks three times: during the left frontal 5.5-Hz and the left parietal 5.5-Hz tACS session as well as during the sham session, with a random order of sessions. Attentional vigilance and subjective experience were monitored. We observed no significant WM task accuracy gains for neither tACS session, as compared to sham. The results suggest that canonical measures of WM capacity are strongly stable in time and hardly affected by theta-frequency tACS.
Advancing mindfulness research through innovative Ecological Momentary Assessment approaches
Authors: Viravan Natee , Lin Yanli , Braver Todd Samuel
Published: December 2023

There are many critical and unresolved questions regarding how mindfulness impacts daily life experiences. In the current review, we put forward the perspective that ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a critical research tool to potentially address these questions and advance the field of mindfulness research, but also that it has yet to be fully harnessed, in terms of its key advantages. We highlight various ways by which EMA can be better integrated into mindfulness studies to investigate mindfulness mechanisms in daily life, including individual differences in the rates and patterns of mindfulness learning; the acute and long-term impact of practice experiences; the frequency, quality, and contextual factors that give rise to spontaneous mindfulness states; and the measurement and optimization of mindfulness intervention effects. We further discuss the integration of EMA approaches with both adaptive mindfulness interventions and ecological momentary mindfulness behavioral tasks, to enable simultaneous performance-based measurements and training of mindfulness across various times and contexts. Mindfulness researchers are encouraged to consider incorporating these flexible extensions of EMA methodology into their own work, so as to best combine the primary advantages of laboratory-based, naturalistic, and intervention approaches.
Extending intersectional Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA) to study individual longitudinal trajectories, with application to mental health in the UK
Authors: Bell Andrew , Evans Clare , Holman Daniel , Leckie George
Published: December 2023

The intersectional Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA) approach is gaining prominence in health sciences and beyond, as a robust quantitative method for identifying intersectional inequalities in a range of individual outcomes. However, it has so far not been applied to longitudinal data, despite the availability of such data, and growing recognition that intersectional social processes and determinants are not static, unchanging phenomena. Drawing on intersectionality and life course theories, we develop a longitudinal version of the intersectional MAIHDA approach, allowing the analysis not just of intersectional inequalities in static individual differences, but also of life course trajectories. We discuss the conceptualisation of intersectional groups in this context: how they are changeable over the life course, appropriate treatment of generational differences, and relevance of the age-period-cohort identification problem. We illustrate the approach with a study of mental health using United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study data (2009-2021). The results reveal important differences in trajectories between generations and intersectional strata, and show that trajectories are partly multiplicative but mostly additive in their intersectional inequalities. This article provides an important and much needed methodological contribution, enabling rigorous quantitative, longitudinal, intersectional analyses in social epidemiology and beyond.

Microbial Quality Assessment of Fresh Sugarcane Juice in Retail Shops Inside Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Subedi Sila , Pokhrel Sudip , Tuladhar Era
Published: December 2023

This study aims to assess the microbial quality of fresh sugarcane juice sold in retail shops inside Kathmandu Valley, as there is limited information available on the safety of popular fresh juices like sugarcane juice, which can cause food-borne illnesses when improperly prepared, despite the known health benefits of consuming fresh fruits juices. Sixty fresh sugar cane juice samples were collected from selected thirteen areas inside Kathmandu Valley. Out of 60 samples, 42 samples were contaminated with bacteria. The quality of each sample was assessed by total plate count, total coliform count, yeast and mold count, and isolation of pathogenic bacteria. The isolated bacteria were identified based on biochemical characteristics. The pH of collected samples ranged from 4.33 to 6.34, acidity from 0.01% to 0.09%, and total soluble solids from 13 to 21⁰Brix. The mean bacterial count was 5.26 log10 CFU/ml, the coliform count was 4.67 log10 CFU/ml, and the yeast mold count was 4.94 log10 CFU/ml. E. coli was present in 38.1%, Citrobacter freundii in 47.6%, and Salmonella species in 14.3% of the total sample. Vibrio cholerae was not detected. Gentamicin, Ciprofloxacin, and Ofloxacin were effective, while Ampicillin was less effective. The study found that sugarcane juice samples from shops in Kathmandu Valley have high levels of contamination, including a high microbial load and slightly acidic pH with high total soluble solid values. The bacterial isolates exhibited varied degrees of antimicrobial susceptibilities and resistances, and the contamination was attributed to poor hygienic conditions during juice processing and handling, possibly due to the use of poor-quality water and a lack of training on food hygiene and safety. These findings suggest potential health hazards for consumers of fresh sugarcane juice.
Performance evaluation of three grid-connected monocrystalline silicon solar photovoltaic systems in Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Jeewan , Bhattarai Nawraj
Published: December 2023

This study evaluates three grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems using four criteria: final yield, performance ratio, capacity utilization factor, and system efficiency. The PV systems were installed on the rooftop of the Nepal Telecom office at Sundhara, Pokhara, and Biratnagar. The generation data was collected through the web interface of the data logger installed at the sites. Long-term comparison (four years) of the plant at Sundhara and the same system comparison of plants at Pokhara and Biratnagar were performed. Long-term analysis of the plant at Sundhara found that the final yield decreased from 2.91 kWh/kWp in 2019 to 2.21 kWh/kWp in 2022. Similarly, the performance ratio decreased from 91.0% in 2019 to 67.3% in 2022, capacity utilization factor decreased from 12.1% in 2019 to 9.2% in 2022, and system efficiency decreased from 16.8% in 2019 to 12.5% in 2022.  The same system installed at Pokhara and Biratnagar had slightly varied performance owing to the variation in meteorological parameters. The average air temperature at Biratnagar (26.7°C) was higher than at Pokhara (13.1°C) while the amount of solar radiation at Biratnagar was just higher by 4%. This led to the reduction of final yield by 9% at Biratnagar than at Pokhara as higher temperatures at Biratnagar caused more reduction in the power output from the solar panels. Finally, this study provides insights to researchers, PV installers, and panel manufacturers on the actual performance of grid-connected solar PV in Nepal.
Du « modèle du déficit » au tournant participatif en communication des risques : les luttes d’expertise au cœur de l’acceptabilité sociale des projets d’exploitation des ressources naturelles
Authors: Yates Stéphanie , Lalande Justine , Lalancette Mireille
Published: December 2023

Contexte : Les promoteurs ont tendance à avoir recours à un « modèle du déficit » qui mise sur l’expertise pour informer et convaincre les populations du bien-fondé d’un projet.

Analyse : Au moyen de deux cas discutés dans le contexte québécois puis rejetés par manque d’acceptabilité sociale, nous montrons que le modèle du déficit a à chaque fois contribué à envenimer les conflits, les populations ayant réagi à cette approche en opposant une contre-expertise crédible aux discours des promoteurs.

Conclusions et implications : Notre analyse nous permet de tirer des leçons qui s’appliquent à d’autres projets. La reconnaissance d’une science plurielle, pas encore consensuelle, autour des projets discutés ainsi qu’une gestion participative du risque aurait pu mener à une discussion plus féconde sur les conditions d’acceptabilité de tels projets.

How to Make a Good First Impression When Socially Anxious
Authors: Nielsen Melissa
Published: December 2023

Making a good first impression is integral to forming and maintaining relationships, which affect nearly every aspect of one's life. Whether interviewing for a job or meeting a partner's friends and family, making positive first impressions can significantly improve one's quality of life. Research shows that social anxiety impedes a person's ability to make a good first impression. Wherein appearing anxious (i.e., tense, fidgeting, unstable vocal pitch) can cause a person to come across as less desirable, more submissive, detached, and less expressive. Social anxiety also contributes to one's negative interpretation of their impressions on others, further perpetuating this fear. However, there are specific strategies that can help people conquer social anxiety and make better first impressions. By creating self-distance (e.g., non-first-person self-talk, reflecting as if watching a stranger), focusing on others (e.g., learning about others, performing acts of kindness), and increasing self-expression, one can decrease social anxiety and make better first impressions.

Psychological Well-being and the relationship with Nursing Competence in an Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Guadalupe Trujillo Ruiseco María
Published: December 2023

Objective: To determine the relationship between the psychological Bienestar (BP) and the nursing competence of nursing staff in a Unidad de Cidados Intensivos (ICU). Methodology: Quantitative, relational, cross-sectional and prospective, a census was conducted among 31 ICU nurses at the ISSSTE (Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers), Aguascalientes. Carol Ryff’s “Psychological Well-Being Scale" and Ritta Meretoja's "Nursing Competence Scale" were used. Results: 67.7% of nurses working in the ICU have a high level of BP, and 83.9% have a very good level of nursing competence. Through a correlation test by Rho Spearman, he obtained that there is no relationship between the level of nursing competence of those who work in the ICU with their level of BP. Conclusion: There is not enough statistical evidence to say that there is a relationship between nursing competence and BP. The BP does not affect nursing competence, despite being a service of high demand for care and adequate attention and care is provided to the critical patient.
Risk Assessment Model for Postpartum Venous Thromboembolism Prevention in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Authors: M. Griffin Myah
Published: December 2023

Background Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) may be at increased risk for developing a venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly in the postpartum period. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) guideline for postpartum VTE prophylaxis is often used to triage which patients should get VTE prophylaxis. In this RCOG guideline, a score ≥ 3 drives a formal recommendation for postpartum anticoagulation. RCOG is unique in its inclusion of “active SLE” as an actionable VTE risk factor (adding 3 points). We sought to determine if a cohort of postpartum patients with a known history of SLE a) qualify as having “active” SLE by standard rheumatologic criteria b) have other risk factors for VTE c) received the recommended prophylaxis based on RCOG VTE risk assessment scoring and d) had a postpartum VTE. Objective To assess the application of the RCOG venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk model on a cohort of postpartum patients with a history of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Study Design This is a secondary analysis of an ongoing patient registry of women with SLE from 2016-2022. There were 49 SLE patients with 55 pregnancies using Definitions of Remission in SLE (DORIS) criteria to determine SLE disease activity. RCOG risk assessment model scoring was calculated for each patient prior to and after delivery. The primary outcome was the qualification of “active SLE” by standard rheumatologic criteria and assessment of recommendations for VTE prophylaxis based on RCOG VTE risk assessment scoring. Data were analyzed using Fisher’s Exact test, chi-square test, and Mann-Whitney U test with significance defined as p<0.05. Results In the study cohort, 34 pregnancies (61.8%) were in DORIS remission at delivery. Twenty-one pregnancies (38.2%) were not and scored 3 points on the RCOG VTE risk model. Of these pregnancies, only 19% (n=4) were recommended for VTE prophylaxis by the obstetrical provider despite RCOG score ≥ 3. Only 35.7% (n=5) of pregnancies in DORIS remission, but with 3 points for non-SLE related VTE risk factors (n=14), were recommended for VTE prophylaxis. Of the 20 pregnancies in remission with an RCOG score < 3 after assessing all risk factors, 15% (n=3) were nevertheless recommended for VTE prophylaxis. No patients had a postpartum VTE regardless of therapy. Conclusion These data reveal a need to improve upon providing postpartum VTE prophylaxis to SLE patients not in remission while also recognizing a diagnosis of SLE alone should not equate with active disease. Moreover, SLE patients in remission may still warrant VTE prophylaxis if other non-SLE-related risk factors are present.
Comparison of Causes of Maternal Near Miss and Maternal Mortality in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Prospective Study
Authors: Noor Nasreen
Published: December 2023

The Maternal Near miss (MNM) concept has led to a more comprehensive and better assessment of the effect of care on maternal health. Investigating severe life-threatening pregnancy complications that women encounter and maternal morbidities (near misses) may help evaluate the quality of care in health facilities and recommend ways to improve maternal survival, especially in poor resource settings. Aim This study aimed to identify causes, classify, and determine the nature of complications in maternal near misses and in maternal death. Material and Methods The hospital-based prospective cohort study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University of Aligarh from 2020 to 2022. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee and informed written consent was obtained from the study participants. The outcome measures included causes, organ dysfunction, complications, maternal morbidities, and neonatal outcome. Results: Higher rate of unbooked referrals was observed in our study. Hemorrhage was 42.9%, followed by 39.1% hypertensive disorders, 8.6% sepsis in the maternal near miss group while in the maternal mortality group, 26.1% had hypertensive disorders followed by 23.8% women had hemorrhagic disorders, and 20.4% had sepsis. There was a significant difference in HDU, ICU Hospital stay and IUDs in the maternal mortality group compared to the maternal near-miss group. Conclusion The WHO near-miss approach was found to represent a feasible strategy in low-resource settings each Near Miss should be evaluated in detail to diagnose underlying pathology, correct and timely detection of complications, prompt referral and early institution of essential and comprehensive obstetrics care are important for maternal and infant survival.

ЖАНРОВО-СТИЛЬОВІ ОЗНАКИ СОНАТИ ДЛЯ КЛАРНЕТУ І ФОРТЕПІАНО Ф. ПУЛЕНКА
Authors: Zhang Jiahao
Published: December 2023

Мета роботи. У статті досліджуються стильові, композиційні, а також виконавсько-інтерпретативні властивості Сонати для кларнету і фортепіано Ф. Пуленка. Методологія дослідження представляє застосування естетико-культурологічного, історичного та музикознавчого методів з залученням виконавського підходу, які у комплексі утворюють єдину методологічну основу. Наукова новизна роботи постає у виявленні специфіки композиторської поетики Пуленка з точки зору проекцій класичних різностильвих інтенцій та «простоти» як особливого виду естетизму, що передує естетиці постмодерну. Висновки. У XX столітті кларнет залишився одним із найбільш затребуваних інструментів у музиці. Здатність висловлювати найрізноманітніші настрої і почуття і технічна рухливість, як і раніше, привертали до цього інструменту увагу композиторів різних стилів і напрямків. Сонати Пуленка органічно вписані в панораму музично-театрального життя Парижу першої половини XX століття, з її поєднанням традиційного та новаторського, класичного та альтернативного. Кларнет в аналізованій сонаті показаний у всій різнобарвності своїх артикуляційно-динамічних вмінь – від меланхолійно-мелодійного легато до різноманітних віртуозних артикульованих структур та мотивів. При цьому ансамблеве співвідношення відповідає сонатному жанру для двох інструментів: безперечна рівноправність, принцип «рельєф-фон» (з особливістю представлення чуттєвої мелодії), самостійність тематизму у кожного інструмента та розгалужена система діалогічних відносин, врахування специфіки кожного з видів інструменталізму. Формотворний аспект сонати характеризується «класичною» ясністю «простоти» (тричастинність, епізод замість розробки, де і розгортається драматургічний контраст замість ГП – ПП) та «стретністю» (скорочені репризи, що дозволяє підпорядкувати різнохарактерний матеріал єдиній логіці драматургічного розвитку). Так в музиці (і світогляді) Пуленка проявляється взаємодія кількох стильових напрямів – «нової простоти» та неокласицизму й неоромантизму. Але у музиці Пуленка дивовижним чином за простотою ховається вишуканість, за інтуїцією – копітка робота, за «немодністю» – занурення у внутрішній світ сучасників.
ВПЛИВ АФРОАМЕРИКАНСЬКОЇ МУЗИЧНОЇ ТРАДИЦІЇ НА ВОКАЛЬНЕ МИСТЕЦТВО ДРУГОЇ ПОЛОВИНИ ХХ СТОЛІТТЯ
Authors: Sun Yuan
Published: December 2023

Мета роботи передбачає висвітлення впливу афроамериканської музичної традиції на вокальне мистецтво другої половини ХХ століття. Методологія дослідження базується на загальнонаукових (аналіз, синтез, узагальнення, систематизація) та конкретно-наукових (історико-генетичний, ретроспективний, порівняльно-зіставний аналіз) методах, які дозволили з’ясувати стан розробленості проблеми, виявити історичні особливості та здійснити характеристику досліджуваних музичних жанрів. Наукова новизна – з’ясовано вплив афроамериканської музичної традиції, зокрема музичних жанрів джаз, блюз, госпел, ритм-енд-блюз на вокальне мистецтво другої половини ХХ століття. Висновки. На основі застосування широкого спектру методів наукового дослідження було доведено, що афроамериканська музична традиція, яка включає такі музичні жанри як джаз, блюз, госпел та ритм-енд-блюз, мала особливий вплив на вокальне мистецтво другої половини ХХ століття. Встановлено, джаз є найвідомішим музичним жанром, становлення якого сягає кінця ХІХ – початку ХХ століть. Вирішальна роль в джазі належить вокалу. Вільно імпровізуючи, співаки використовують скейлінг та складні ритмічні структури. Афроамериканським підґрунтям відзначається блюз, який наділений почуття радості, болю. Він відображав душу та історію афроамериканської спільноти. Релігійний музичний жанр, становлення якого відбулося в афроамериканських церквах – госпел, вплинув на вокальне мистецтво другої половини ХХ століття та, в цілому, на музичний жанр ритм-енд-блюз. Доведено, афроамериканська музична традиція (джаз, блюз, госпел, ритм-енд-блюз) наклали відбиток на розвиток популярної музики та збагатила вокальне мистецтво другої половини ХХ століття, заклавши основу для численних новаторських виконавців та стильових напрямків.
Svilarstvo Hercegovine
Authors: Rotim Nino
Published: December 2023

Zbog povoljnih klimatskih prilika područje Hercegovine pogodno je za uzgoj duda čija je prisutnost poznata od davnina. U prošlosti se na ovom podneblju uzgajao i dudov svilac radi proizvodnje kokona (čahura) obavijenih svilenim nitima. Organizirana sadnja stabala duda u svrhu razvoja svilarstva evidentirana je u Hercegovini polovicom XIX. stoljeća. Početkom Prvog svjetskog rata proizvodna svile stagnira da bi do revitalizacija svilarstva došlo koncem dvadesetih godina XX. stoljeća. Pojava umjetnih vlakana i posljedice Drugog svjetskog rata bile su pogubne za svilarstvo te se u nadolazećim godinama prestalo sa ovom gospodarskom djelatnosti na području Hercegovine.

Conceptualización del cerebro social. Una Revisión sistemática
Authors: Ardila Villareal Ginna Marcela
Published: December 2023

El objetivo de este artículo consistió en realizar una revisión sistemática del desarrollo del concepto de cerebro social a lo largo del tiempo. Esta revisión se llevó a cabo mediante una búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva en diversas bases de datos científicos que contienen publicaciones sobre el cerebro social. Cabe señalar que el cerebro social ha sido objeto de estudio desde diversas áreas del conocimiento. Aunque inicialmente se investigó el cerebro de forma individual, más adelante se inició el estudio de la interacción entre un cerebro y otro, incluso entre grupos de personas. Por otro lado, los avances tecnológicos, como la accesibilidad a una base de datos científicos, han producido un cambio increíble en tiempo récord en las estructuras sociales y culturales. De modo que se espera que haya más avances en las diferentes ramas de  la neurociencia que arrojen información sobre el concepto de cerebro social. Como conclusión, el cerebro social se considera fundamental para la comprensión del comportamiento social, ya que está relacionado con la capacidad que tiene el ser humano para interactuar con otros individuos, comunicarse y experimentar diferentes tipos de afectos yacercamientos con las demás personas del entorno. Entonces, el cerebro social permite comprender los fenómenos sociales y la interacción social, ya que posibilita establecer de qué manera el ser humano atribuye estados mentales así mismo y a otros, con el fin de predecir el comportamiento de los demás.

Published: December 2023

Among the 140 isolates collected from symptomatic potato tubers in four different European regions of Russia in 2021–2022, as many as 37.8 % isolates were identified as Fusarium sambucinum. Randomly selected isolates (n=19) of F. sambucinum were identified with DNA sequence data of the TEF locus and morphological characteristics on nutrient media. The growth rate of strains on potato-sucrose agar was assessed in the temperature range of 5–35 °C. The temperature optimum for growth of all strains was set at 25 °C, the average growth rate of strains was 13.68 ± 0.67 mm/day. The upper critical temperature completely arresting growth of strains was 35 °C, while at the temperature of 5 °C the strains were still able to grow at an average rate of 0.85 ± 0.27 mm/day. Fusarium sambucinum strains were characterized by their ability to produce symptoms of rot in potato tubers after inoculation and further incubation at 5 and 23 °C. Most strains caused extensive necrosis at the higher temperature, but there were strains whose aggressiveness was not affected by temperature. There is no clearly defined relationship between the origin of F. sambucinum strains and their aggressiveness.
