Modeling and Simulation of Copper Removal from the Contaminated Soil by a Combination of Adsorption and Electro-kinetic Remediation
Authors: Faisal Ayad Abed Al-hamza , Hussein Ahmed Alaa
Published: May 2023

Electro-kinetic remediation technology is one of the developing technologies that offer great promise for the cleanup of soils contaminated with heavy metals. A numerical model was formulated to simulate copper (Cu) transport under an electric field using one-dimensional diffusion-advection equations describing the contaminant transport driven by chemical and electrical gradients in soil during the electro-kinetic remediation as a function of time and space. This model included complex physicochemical factors affecting the transport phenomena, such as soil pH value, aqueous phase reaction, adsorption, and precipitation. One-dimensional finitedifference computer program successfully predicted meaningful values for soil pH profiles and Cu concentration profiles. The model considers that: (1) electrical potential in the soil is constant with the time; (2) the effect of temperature is negligible; and (3) dissolution of soil constituents is negligible. The predicted pH profiles and transport of copper in sandy loam soil during electrokinetic remediation were found to reasonably agree with the bench-scale electro-kineticexperimental results. The predicted contaminant speciation and distribution (aqueous, adsorbed, and precipitated) allow for an understanding of the transport processes and chemical reactions that control electro-kinetic remediation.

Authors: Aksoy Lale , Doğer Emek , Köle Merve Çakır , Köle Emre , Aksoy Hale , Aslan Erdoğan
Published: May 2023

Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is characterized by collection of fluid in third spaces in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles and can result in the cancellation of the cycle and be fatal in 3 women out of 100,000. The aim of this study is to compare the admission of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) subcutaneously versus intracavitary during ovum pick-up (OPU) in agonist induced ovulation in IVF cycles in terms of pregnancy outcomes. Methods: This study was carried out in Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Assisted Reproductive Techniques Clinic as a retrospective study. 157 patients who underwent IVF treatment between January 2018 and February 2020, with ≥25 follicles detected in ultrasound and 1 mg of triptorelin acetate was administered for ovulation trigger, and 36 hours later of whom ≤20 oocytes were obtained in OPU were enrolled in this study. 109 patients who were administered 1500 IU of hCG subcutaneously belonged to Group 1, and 1500 IU hCG was administered intracavitary to 48 patients as Group 2. Results: Infertility causes, and characteristics of both groups were similar. Number of retrieved oocytes, Metaphase 2 (MII) oocytes and fertilization rates were similar in both groups. Implantation rate per embryo transferred was higher in the intracavitary group (p = 0.01). There was no significant difference for pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, ongoing pregnancy rate, livebirth rate and OHSS frequency between both groups. Twin pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the intracavitary group. Conclusions: Administration of 1500 IU hCG intracavitary at the time of OPU is associated with improved implantation rates when compared to subcutaneous hCG administration without a significant raise in OHSS occurrence. Prospective, randomized studies with bigger patient cohort are needed.

Published: May 2023

Background: This two-armed clinical audit aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of vaginal tamponade in reducing postoperative bleeding after large loop excision of the uterine cervix’s transformation zone (LLETZ). Methods: We included patients after LLETZ with and without vaginal tamponade in this clinical audit analysis. In January 2021, we stopped performing routine postoperative vaginal tamponade after LLETZ, intensively monitored the occurrence of bleeding 30 days after the procedure, and analyzed the clinical audit. We compared the data with the clinical audit from 2016, when we performed routine postoperative tamponade in all patients. The primary outcome of our analysis was to evaluate the effect of vaginal tamponade on reducing the incidence of postoperative bleeding, necessitating secondary intervention. The secondary outcome was the occurrence of postoperative infection necessitating antibiotic treatment. All patients in the study signed written consent to analyze their data for quality control. Results: A total of 301 patients (132 patients with and 169 patients without postoperative tamponade) were included in the study and were similar regarding baseline characteristics. Postoperative bleeding occurred in 16 (5.3%) patients of both groups and was more prevalent in patients with vaginal tamponade compared to patients without the tamponade, although the difference was not statistically significant (6.1% vs 4.7%, respectively, p = 0.616). Postoperative infection occurred in 8 (2.7%) patients of both groups, and the incidence was similar in both groups (3.0% vs 2.4%, respectively, p = 0.734). Conclusions: According to our results, routine tamponade after LLETZ does not help reduce the incidence of postoperative bleeding.

Published: May 2023

Background: The present exploration is aimed to determine whether diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI)-derived mean diffusivity (MD) and mean kurtosis (MK) are possible parameters for the invasive breast cancer grading and whether MD/MK is related to breast cancer clinical-pathologic factors including estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) and Ki-67. Methods: Tumors from 108 invasive breast carcinoma patients (45.6 ± 11.2 years old; range, 20–84 years), diagnosed by pathological examination between January 2016 and August 2017, were included. DKI data (with b values of 0, 1000, 2000 sec/mm2) and MD/MK were measured. The expression of ER, PR, HER-2, and Ki-67 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results: It was found that MD was significantly lower in grade III breast cancer than in grade II breast cancer (0.82 ± 0.21 vs 1.17 ± 0.24, p < 0.0001), while MK was significantly higher in grade III breast cancer than that in grade II breast cancer (1.00 ± 0.31 vs 0.85 ± 0.21, respectively; p < 0.05). In addition, MD was negatively associated with Ki-67 level (r = –0.39, p < 0.05), while MK was positively associated with Ki-67 level (r = 0.56, p < 0.05). Furthermore, MD was significantly increased in ER and PR positive expression group compared with ER and PR negative expression group, while there is no significant difference of MK in ER and PR positive expression group compared with ER and PR negative expression group. Additionally, there is no significant difference of MD and MK in HER-2 positive expression group compared with HER-2 negative expression group. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that DKI has value in the evaluation on the classification of invasive breast carcinoma. MD values were associated with breast cancer clinical-pathologic factors. DKI can provide useful information in the assessment of tumor proliferation activity.
The Cardioprotective Effects and Mechanisms of Astragalus-Safflower Herb Pairs on Coronary Heart Disease Identified by Network Pharmacology and Experimental Verification
Authors: Yuan Yong , Liu Huajiang , Meng Qingwen
Published: May 2023

Background: Huang Qi (HQ, Astragalus) and Hong Hua (HH, Safflower), two Chinese herbal remedies, are widely used to treat coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the underlying mechanisms of this herb pair remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the potential synergistic effects and mechanisms of Astragalus-Safflower in the treatment of CHD. Methods: Network pharamcology was performed to identify the core components, targets, and key genes of Astragalus-Safflower herbal pair (ASHP) for the treatment of CHD. Enrichment analysis was performed to identify overlapping genes. Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive MS/MS (UHPLC-QE-MS) was used to detect the blood component of rat ASHP drug-containing serum, which is also considered to be the core components of the ASHP. Molecular docking of ASHP core compounds with core proteins of the pyroptosis pathway mediated by the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes. In vivo experiments were conducted to verify the effect and mechanism of ASHP in the CHD mice model. Results: 54 active compounds and 404 target genes were identified from ASHP, and 1576 targets for CHD with 90 overlapping genes for both. IL6, AKT1, IL1B, TP53, VEGFA, PTGS2, MMP9, CCL2, CXCL8 and EGF were the key hub target genes. Enrichment analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) revealed that the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated signaling pathway was one of the more critical signaling pathways. The UHPLC-QE-MS was used to identify the rat ASHP containing serum enrollment compound as calycosin and isorhamnetin. Molecular docking showed that quercetin, kaempferol, apigenin, calycosin and isorhamnetin possessed good binding sites with NLRP3 and Caspase-1. Animal experiments showed that the expression of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β mRNA and protein levels were elevated in mouse models of CHD, and decreased after intervention with ASHP. Conclusions: ASHP can effectively treat CHD, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pathway.

Impact of pacifier use and parenting characteristics on toddlers’ vocabulary development
Authors: Barca Laura , Mazzuca Claudia , Borghi Anna M.
Published: May 2023

Previous research suggests a relationship between the age of pacifier withdrawal and linguistic processing later in life, slowing down abstract word processing in school-age children. Here, we explored whether using the pacifier during the early stages of development affects the breadth and composition of infants’ vocabulary—as measured with the MacArthur-Bates CDI inventory—hampering abstract word learning. A sample of 98 children aged 18-36 months was considered. The infants’ feeding habits (exclusive breastfeeding or otherwise), the parenting educational style, and parental satisfaction were considered potentially relevant aspects for using the pacifier. Pacifier use was related to feeding types, with greater use among children who were breastfed or had mixed feeding. Parental sense of satisfaction and efficacy was quite high, and pacifier use was strongly associated only with the paternal sense of efficacy. No evidence emerged on a detrimental effect of concurrent pacifier use on linguistic indexes of the CDI inventory or specifically on abstract words. The impact of pacifier use on the linguistic dimension and abstract concepts processing, thus, seems to be relegated to its prolonged use and the age of pacifier withdrawal, particularly critical beyond three years.

Authors: Santos Miguel dos , Sanchez Francisco Javier Sanchez , Yi  , Ferreira João Antonio
Published: May 2023

This article presents a comprehensive overview of the remarkable progress achieved in the field of neuromorphic vision processors over the past few decades. Our primary focus is on two distinct types of vision processors: frame-based (FB) and event-based (EB) vision processors. These two categories differ in multiple aspects, including system architecture, image sensing techniques, image coding, image processing algorithms, and design methodologies. Neuromorphic vision processors have emerged as a groundbreaking solution capable of surmounting the processing and transmission limitations encountered in traditional image processing systems. These processors exhibit exceptional performance in high-speed image capture and real-time image processing operations.Within this article, we introduce two representative vision processors, each belonging to one of the aforementioned categories. Through a detailed exploration of their architectures, image sensing schemes, image processing processors, and system operations, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of their capabilities.
Bimbingan dan Konseling Bagi Anak Broken Home
Authors: Serdianus
Published: May 2023

Pemilihan topik broken home khususnya perceraian dalam makalah ini karena melihat fakta di dalam masyarakat khususnya di Tana Toraja tentang pasangan-pasangan yang melahirkan anak di luar pernikahan. Mereka memang menikah dan membangun rumah tangga. Meskipun demikian pernikahan mereka tidaklah langgeng. Setelah beberapa tahun menikah, salah satu memutuskan untuk berpisah alias bercerai padahal mereka sudah punya anak. Tidak berapa lama kemudian salah satu dari mereka akhirnya menikah lagi, sehingga anak dari pernikahan pertama harus dititipkan kepada neneknya. Hal ini tentu saja sangat berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan psikis, fisik, mental, emosional dari si anak tersebut. Itulah sebabnya setiap anak yang demikian sangat membutuhkan pendampingan khusus sehingga mereka dapat berkembang dengan baik.

Published: May 2023

Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) is a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation technique that can be used to upregulate or downregulate different brain regions. However, the timing of its effects and the differing effects of continuous TBS (cTBS) versus intermittent TBS (iTBS) in the reading system have not been explored. This study assessed how stimulation type and post-stimulation timing affected change in performance during a phonological discrimination and sight word recognition task after stimulation of supramarginal gyrus (SMG). Fourteen right-handed young adults (age 18-27 years; 44% male) were block-randomized to receive either iTBS or cTBS to the supramarginal gyrus. Participants then performed a pseudoword discrimination task and an orthographic awareness task (behavioral control) at four different time points and change in reaction time compared to baseline was measured from each time point. There was no effect of stimulation type on change in reaction time (t(16) = -0.2, p = 0.9), suggesting that both types of TBS caused similar effects. Percent change in reaction time decreased over time in the pseudoword task (t(50) = -5.9, p < 0.001), indicating faster pseudoword processing speed with better performance 60-70 minutes after stimulation. In contrast, no change was demonstrated over time for the behavioral control task (t(43) = -0.6, p = 0.6), suggesting that the change over time seen in the test condition was not a learning effect. These findings provide insight into the effects of TBS on the reading system and can guide future study designs.R
Sensorimotor Account of Multimodal Prosody
Authors: Coulson Seana
Published: May 2023

The temporal signatures that characterize speech—especially its prosodic qualities—are observable in the movements of the hands and bodies of its speakers. A neurobiological account of these prosodic rhythms is thus likely to benefit from insights on the neural coding principles underlying co-speech gestures. Here we consider a role for the information processing capacity of the vestibular system, a sensory system that encodes movements of the body, in the neural representation of prosody. Careful review of the vestibular system’s functional organization as a hierarchical and predictive system, its relevance for rhythmic sound sequences, dynamic attention, and its involvement in vocalization suggests vestibular codes may be important for the neural tracking of speech. As the kinematics and time course of co-speech movements mirror prosodic fluctuations in spoken prosody, we argue that the vestibular system helps encode and decode these prosodic features in multimodal discourse and possibly during auditory speech processing alone.

Published: May 2023

Open research practices seek to enhance the transparency and reproducibility of research. Whilst there is evidence of increased uptake in these practices, such as study preregistration and open data, facilitated by new infrastructure and policies, little research has assessed general uptake of such practices across psychology university researchers. The current study estimates psychologists’ level of engagement in open research practices across universities in the United Kingdom and Ireland, while also assessing possible explanatory factors that may impact their engagement. Data were collected from 602 psychology researchers in the UK and Ireland on the extent to which they have implemented various practices (e.g., use of preprints, preregistration, open data, open materials). Here we present the summarised descriptive results, as well as considering differences between various categories of researcher (e.g., career stage, subdiscipline, methodology), and examining the relationship between researcher’s practices and their self-reported capability, opportunity, and motivation (COM-B) to engage in open research practices. Results show that while there is considerable variability in engagement of open research practices, differences across career stage and subdiscipline of psychology are small by comparison. We observed consistent differences according to respondent’s research methodology and based on the presence of institutional support for open research. COM-B dimensions were collectively significant predictors of engagement in open research, with automatic motivation emerging as a consistently strong predictor. We discuss these findings, outline some of the challenges experienced in this study, and offer suggestions and recommendations for future research. Estimating the prevalence of responsible research practices is important to assess sustained behaviour change in research reform, tailor educational training initiatives, and to understand potential factors that might impact engagement.
Mapping the History, Anatomy, and Trajectory of Research on Well-Being: A Bibliometric Review of the Psychological Sciences
Authors: Rombaoa Jaymes Paolo , Heshmati Saeideh
Published: May 2023

We used bibliometric methods to comprehensively map the intellectual structure of well-being research in the psychological sciences. We used a database of over 30,000 primary documents downloaded from Web of Science and leveraged three bibliometric methods: historiography, document co-citation analysis, and bibliographic coupling. The findings shed light on the (1) evolution of well-being science over time, (2) the underlying structure of the intellectual field and its current state, and (3) the future trajectory of the field and emerging topics. Based on our findings, we provide three future directions for well-being science: (i) embracing diversity and broadening the scope of well-being scholarship, (ii) transcending beyond dichotomous perspectives of well-being, and (iii) harnessing advanced methods and measures for a stronger scientific foundation. This paper serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners and provides guidance and direction in addressing the challenges related to well-being scholarship.
Using measures of psychophysiological and neural activity to advance understanding of psychological processes in politics
Authors: Bakker Bert N. , Schumacher Gijs
Published: May 2023

Innovation implies successful introduction. Measures of psychophysiological and neural activity have been introduced to political science but the fact they are still rarely used, particularly in mainstream political science, indicates that this introduction has not been successful. Instead, the status quo in political science is to rely on self-reported measures of feelings, beliefs, and opinions. A recent review of research on ``emotion and politics'' in the Annual Review of Political Science underlines this point as it contains very few references to work using measures of psychophysiological and neural activity. We identify three problems with this status quo. First, unconscious (or preconscious) affective processes cannot be measured with self-reports because we are mostly unaware of these processes. Second, the complex interplay between affective and cognitive processes at the neural level cannot be characterized by relying on typical (survey) experimental outcome measures. Third, on socially sensitive topics, people may be motivated to self-report in socially desirable ways. As such, self-reports may even be misleading. In sum, political psychology largely concentrates on more conscious reflections at the expense of potentially relevant preconscious or unconscious explanations or mechanisms. The goal of this chapter is to inspire the next generation of political psychology research to move beyond self-reports and adopt theories and methods that help us to better characterize the affective-cognitive processes of political decision-making. To this end we provide an overview of work using psychophysiological measures (skin conductance, heart rate variability, and facial electromyography (fEMG)), eye-tracking, and neuroimaging measures (electroencephalography (EEG), functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging).
Adverse childhood experiences and residential care environment: The mediating role of trauma-related symptoms and psychological maladjustment in adolescents
Authors: Maneiro Lorena , Llerena Nerea , López-Romero Laura
Published: May 2023

Research has consistently found poorer outcomes in adolescents who have been exposed to early interpersonal adversities, especially those in out-of-home placements. The presence of mental health problems also contributes to the perception of a more negative group climate and peer interactions through cascading effects. The goal of this study is to analyze the sequential relationships between exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma-related symptoms, psychological maladjustment, and the perception of group climate and peer interactions. In addition, the study analyzes the mediating role of trauma-related symptoms and psychological maladjustment. The sample comprised 161 adolescents in out-of-home care (46.6% males, 49.7% females, 3.7% non-binary), aged 12-18 (M = 15.22, SD = 1.59) from 24 residential facilities in Spain. This study is part of the VRINEP project. Group care workers reported about ACEs and trauma-related symptoms through online questionnaires, whereas adolescents self-reported about psychological maladjustment, group climate, and peer interactions. Differential associations between ACEs with trauma-related symptoms and internalizing problems were found. In addition, the relationship between certain ACEs and externalizing problems was fully mediated by trauma-related symptoms. Likewise, psychological maladjustment was related to a more negative perception of the group climate and peer interactions. Although trauma-related symptoms were not directly associated with the perception of the residential environment, they were indirectly associated with peer relational aggression through externalizing problems.
Spatial Language in Families’ Conversational Reflections About Museum Experiences
Authors: Polinsky Naomi , Pagano Lauren C. , Acosta Diana I. , Haden Catherine , Uttal David
Published: May 2023

The hands-on and physical nature of children’s museum exhibits creates opportunities for families to engage in conversations that are rich in spatial language. Prior work points to the importance of spatial language use during museum experiences for children’s spatial skills. The ways families talk about experiences after they occur is also important in the learning process. Therefore, in this study we asked how families use spatial language in conversational reflections after experiencing exhibits and programs in a children’s museum. Families (N = 243) with a 6- 11-year-old child made recordings in which they talked about experiences they had in a tinkering exhibit and up to two other exhibits. Families reflected on their tinkering experiences when there was either open-ended tinkering programs, function-focused programs, or engineering-focused programs occurring in the museum’s Tinkering Lab exhibit. In comparison to families who reflected on open-ended tinkering programs, those who reflected on engineering-focused programs used more spatial language in their reflections. Furthermore, our analysis of families’ reflections about additional museum exhibits revealed that families used the most spatial language when they reflected on exhibits that engaged children in physical activity and navigation. Results suggest design features of informal learning experiences that may support spatial language in families’ reflections.
Power users: Technology, trust, and the social networks of Canadian sex workers
Authors: Kennedy Lynn
Published: May 2023

The transition from physical to online advertising by sex workers in Canada has been well documented. However, few studies use rigorous sampling methods. This study considers how a technically sophisticated group of advertisers from a large Canadian sex work classifieds site used multiple online resources to promote or provide services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Advertisers qualified for the study if they used a URL as part of their contact information and were actively advertising between August 23 and September 22, 2022. A random sample of 1000 qualifying advertisers were selected of which 783 had accessible contact URLs. Themes were identified in downloaded website texts using grounded theory analysis. Ad metadata was used to identify demographic and behavioral distinctions between the sample and other advertisers. Almost all sampled advertisers (99%) provided in person services and most (70%) provided online services. The sample advertised more frequently, were more affluent and were more likely to be Anglophone, White, trans-female, or provide BDSM services. Themes of security, health, identity, and social networks were identified. Advertisers emphasized physical, emotional, and financial security. Most workers did not work in isolation and many participated in extensive social networks.

Uchti Nur Rachmah (11200418), Sistem Informasi E-Marketplace Penyewaan Dekorasi Berbasis Web.

Dekorasi menjadi bagian penting sebagai penghidup suasana pada penyelenggaraan sebuah acara yang diselenggarakan oleh pribadi maupun organisasi. Sebagai elemen visual, dekorasi pada berbagai jenis acara seperti pernikahan, pertunangan, perayaan ulang tahun, hingga perayaan pada hari besar sangat ditentukan dengan kesesuaian tema pada sebuah acara itu sendiri. Kendala yang sering ditemui oleh penyewa dekorasi saat ini adalah minimnya informasi yang didapat tentang penyedia sewa dekorasi sehingga sulit untuk dapat menentukan pilihan dekorasi sesuai dengan kriteria yang diinginkan. Selain itu, penyewa yang datang langsung untuk menanyakan dekorasi perlu memakan waktu yang mengurangi efektifitas pada proses pemilihan dekorasi. Terlebih lagi apabila penyewa bermaksud untuk melakukan perbandingan harga dari satu penyedia sewa ke penyedia sewa lainnya. Metode pengembangan perangkat lunak yang digunakan penulis pada penelitian ini adalah metode agile. Pendekatan agile memungkinkan kesiapan pengembang untuk melakukan perubahan dengan melakukan iterasi pada tahap pengembangan perangkat lunak. Melalui Sistem Informasi E-Marketplace Penyewaan Dekorasi Berbasis Web penulis memberikan solusi untuk membantu penyewa dekorasi agar dapat lebih mudah mendapatkan informasi harga dari berbagai penyedia sewa sekaligus dapat melakukan transaksi penyewaan dekorasi.
