Influence of Stepped Support on Older Adults’ Engagement with and Outcomes from an Internet Insomnia Intervention
Authors: Shaffer Kelly M , Daniel Katharine E , Chow Philip , Ingersoll Karen , Ritterband Lee Michael
Published: June 2024

Background: While delivering care by the Internet holds substantial potential to increase access to behavioral insomnia treatment, sustaining user engagement is considered a challenge. Minimal human support may enhance intervention engagement and efficacy, and older adults may particularly benefit from additional support for otherwise self-directed Internet interventions.Objectives: Test whether a human-delivered stepped support protocol improves engagement and outcomes using a fully-automated cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) program tailored for older adults (Sleep Healthy Using the Internet-Older Adult Sufferers of Insomnia and Sleeplessness [SHUTi-OASIS]).Participants: 207 adults aged 55 and older with insomnia.Methods: Participants were randomized to receive SHUTi-OASIS alone or with stepped support (SHUTi-OASIS+SS). SS could be activated at intervention Core 1 or Core 2 (of six total Cores) if a participant had not completed the Core within two weeks of it becoming available. Engagement metrics were tracked by the Internet intervention platform. Participants self-reported insomnia outcomes by survey and prospective online sleep diaries at baseline, post-9 week intervention period, post 6-months, and post 12-months. Results: There was minimal activation of stepped support (14 of 102 SHUTi-OASIS+SS participants). There were no consistent differences in engagement or insomnia outcomes found when comparing SHUTi-OASIS versus SHUTi-OASIS+SS participants, nor when comparing only low-engaging participants across each condition (n=15 SHUTi-OASIS versus n=14 SHUTi-OASIS+SS).Conclusions: In this trial, most older adults engaged with the Internet intervention as instructed without the need for human support. Findings highlight the utility of highly-engaging Internet interventions for addressing older adults’ healthcare needs.
Efficacy of a multi-component app intervention targeting dietary carbon emissions: How individual differences affect change trajectories
Authors: Palnau Jan-Felix , Ziegler Matthias , Laemmle Lena
Published: June 2024

Reduction of animal product consumption yields great benefits for both environmental sustainability and human health. Yet, the efficacy of online interventions remains largely untested. Also, despite promising evidence of personality science, design and testing of such interventions rarely accounts for a responsiveness effect due to interindividual differences. To fill this gap, we developed a multi-component app intervention informed by barriers and benefits of meat reduction, including personality. In a 30-day RCT on N=113 students, our intervention joins a multitude of effective strategies and was tested against a dietary protocol app as control. Results of multilevel modelling showed an average reduction of 12 grams dietary CO₂e per day across conditions. Moreover, higher psychopathy predicted a higher rate of change, however likely due to regression to the mean. Contrarily, we explain lower responsiveness of elevated psychopathy in the control by an incongruence between psychopaths' anti-social tendency and the target behavior. Self-selection bias in our sample and future directions are discussed.
Spurious prospective effect of physical activity on problematic smartphone use: A simulated reanalysis and comment on Zhao et al. (2024)
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Melin Bo
Published: June 2024

Based on findings from analyses with cross-lagged panel models, Zhao et al. (2024) concluded that physical activity can reduce problematic smartphone use (PSU) among adolescents. Here, we simulated data to resemble the data used by Zhao et al. We used triangulation and fitted complementary models to the simulated data and found contradicting decreasing, increasing, and null effects of initial physical activity on subsequent change in PSU. These divergent findings suggest that it is premature to assume a decreasing effect of physical activity on PSU and the conclusion by Zhao et al. in this regard can be challenged. It is important for researchers to be aware that correlations, including adjusted cross-lagged effects, do not prove causality in order not to overinterpret findings, something that appears to have happened to Zhao et al. We recommend researchers to triangulate by fitting complementary models to their data in order to evaluate if observed effects may be due to true causal effect or if they appear to be spurious.
Mind Wandering on Command
Authors: Safati Adrian Berk , Carr Tom , Lowe Cassandra J , Smilek Daniel
Published: June 2024

Three experiments (N = 336) examined whether participants can systematically adjust levels of mind wandering on command. Participants performed four blocks of the metronome response task (MRT) in which they pressed a spacebar in sync with a steady audio tone. Levels of spontaneous and deliberate mind wandering were measured using intermittent thought probes. Performance was indexed with MRT response time variability and omission errors. Each block started with instructions to mind wander either 20, 40, 60, or 80 percent of the time. We found that mind wandering (spontaneous and deliberate), response time variability, and omission errors increased progressively with instructions to mind wander more and that these instruction-related changes were larger for deliberate than spontaneous mind wandering (Experiments 1 to 3). This pattern held regardless of whether participants’ eyes were open or shut (Experiment 2). Relative to a control group receiving no commands to mind wander, instructing people to mind wander 60 or 80 percent of the time led to more deliberate mind wandering, and strikingly, asking people to mind wander 20 percent of the time led to less spontaneous mind wandering (Experiment 3). Our results suggest that individuals can titrate mind wandering experiences to roughly match instructed levels indicating that mind wandering can be manipulated through simple instructions. However, other features of the data suggest that such titration is effortful and may come with a cost to performance.
Ranking up for STEM: The Influence of School Rank on STEM Degrees
Authors: Shahbazian Roujman , Dadgar Iman
Published: June 2024

This study examines the influence of pupils’ ordinal positions in the distribution of grades in their 9th grade school cohort on subsequent tertiary-level STEM degrees, at age 30. Population-wide data from Sweden between the years 1990-1997 is used. The identification strategy uses differences between pupils’ ranks in their school and their ranks in the country-wide ability distribution after conditioning on school-cohort fixed effects and school-level grade distributions. The findings reveal a relative gratification of being at the top of the school ability distribution. Both boys and girls who occupy a higher rank in 9th grade are more likely to acquire a STEM degree, although the results are more pronounced for boys than girls. While a slight relative deprivation of being at the bottom of the ability distribution is seen for boy, girls are not impacted at all. This result is also robust when measuring the ranks within each gender in-group, meaning comparing boys with boys, and girls with girls. Implying that, in connection to STEM degrees, women are less receptive to ordinal rank in school compared to men.

Published: June 2024

Considerando que la incorporación de los incentivos fiscales en la normativa tributaria permite mejorar la economía de un país, y están encaminados al logro de varias metas como el generar nuevas fuentes de empleo, promover el cuidado del entorno, así como mejorar la calidad de vida de la comunidad, también buscan favorecer internamente a las empresas al reducir el gasto por impuesto a la renta, y; por lo tanto, generar mayores utilidades después de impuestos y mayores flujos de caja. Por tal motivo, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo establecer si los incentivos fiscales tuvieron relación con los resultados contables al año 2021 en las pequeñas empresas del sector comercial de la provincia de Cotopaxi reguladas por la Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros del Ecuador. Para lo cual, se realizó una investigación de campo, ya que se recopilaron los datos de las empresas de manera física, aplicando un cuestionario. Se evidenció que apenas un 31% de las empresas se acogieron a los incentivos vigentes al 2021 y lograron la disminución en el pago de impuestos ante la administración tributaria, siendo uno de los incentivos más aplicados por las empresas objeto de estudio al año 2021 la contratación de personal con discapacidad que permite una deducción del 100% adicional del impuesto a la renta.

Authors: Joy Jeffy , Xavier Rose , Jose Ebin , Varghese Binoj
Published: June 2024

Acute demyelinating syndromes (ADS) in children presents with neurological symptoms with a pathology involving either single central nervous system (CNS) location (mono focal ADS) or multiple sites (poly focal ADS), with or without encephalopathy. It is a diagnostic dilemma requiring a high index of suspicion. A thorough clinical examination with neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is needed for making a diagnosis. Clear cut guidelines regarding long term management and prognosis is lacking. Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody must be done in all suspected cases as it helps in prognosticating and counselling parents. Recurrence is rare, recovery is usually complete and most children respond to pulse high dose methylprednisolone injection. In this case series we map out different unique presentations of acute ADS with and without Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody positivity among children from a tertiary care hospital in central Kerala, India.

Published: June 2024

Piyasa yoğunlaşması, herhangi bir endüstrideki firma sayısı ve büyüklük dağılımını dikkate alan bir kavram olarak kabul edilmektedir. Piyasadaki rekabetin dış ticaret üzerindeki etkisine yönelik, teorik iki yaklaşım bulunmaktadır. Bu yaklaşımlar: Ulusal şampiyon yaklaşımı (national champion approach) ve rekabetçi yaklaşımdır (competitive approach). Bu iki yaklaşım, yurt içi rekabetin endüstrilerin küresel piyasalardaki başarısında belirleyici olduğunu kabul etmekte iken; rekabetin dış ticareti nasıl etkilediğine yönelik çıkarımlarında ise farklılaşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türk imalat sanayiinde piyasa yapısının dış ticaret üzerindeki etkisi 2013-2018 yılları için endüstri düzeyinde, panel veri yöntemi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Çalışmada TUİK ile yapılan sözleşme kapsamında, firma düzeyinde mikro veri setleri kullanılmış olup, belirlenen imalat sanayi firma verileri NACE Rev.2, 4 haneli 199 endüstri düzeyinde toplulaştırılmıştır. Statik panel veri yöntemi sonucunda piyasa yoğunlaşmasının ihracat ve ithalat üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca ölçek ekonomisinin, ihracatı ve ithalatı negatif yönde; reel efektif döviz kuru endeksinin, ihracatı negatif yönde; emek maliyetinin ise ihracatı pozitif yönde etkilediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Ampirik bulgular, Türk imalat sanayi için değerlendirildiğinde firma sayısı bakımından üstünlüğe sahip KOBİ’lerin, genel olarak ihracatta büyük firmalara kıyasla daha başarılı olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmanın, piyasadaki rekabetin küresel ticaretteki etkisini araştıracak çalışmalara katkı sunması beklenmektedir.

Published: June 2024

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki tarımsal kredi faiz oranlarının bitkisel üretim miktarına etkisini zaman serisi analiziyle ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı kapsamında faiz oranı ve bitkisel üretim miktarı ile ilgili farklı veri kaynaklarından 1976-2021 dönemine ait (46 yıl) veriler toplanmıştır. Analiz için faiz oranının bağımsız, bitkisel üretim miktarının ise bağımlı değişken olarak atandığı bir model kurulup bu model üzerinde sırasıyla ARDL, VAR ve Granger testleri yöntem olarak uygulanmıştır. Modelin tahmininden elde edilen sonuçlara göre; faiz oranı ve bitkisel üretim miktarı değişkenleri arasında negatif yönlü ve anlamlı bir uzun dönem eşbütünleşme ilişkisi vardır. Faiz oranı %1 yükseldiğinde bitkisel üretim miktarı %0.26 azalmaktadır. Değişkenlerin arasındaki kısa dönemli ilişki ise beklenildiği gibi negatif yönlü olup anlamlıdır. Kısa dönemde yaşanan şokların sonucunda ortaya çıkabilecek uzun dönem dengesinden sapmalar 1 dönem sonra %10 ortadan kalmaktadır. Diğer taraftan varyans ayrıştırmasının sonuçları Granger testinin sonuçlarıyla tutarlı olup nedensellik açısından etkileşimin yönünün faiz oranı değişkeninden bitkisel üretim miktarı değişkenine doğru ve tek yönlü olduğu açıktır.

Magnetic resonance imaging–guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy for essential tremor in a patient with von Willebrand disease: perioperative optimization for patients with coagulopathies. Illustrative case
Authors: Folz Caroline , Seas Andreas , Chinyengetere Fadzai , Beasley Christopher , Harris Adam , Oyedeji Charity , Ortel Thomas L , Shah Bhavya R , Lad Shivanand , Harward Stephen C
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most common movement disorders worldwide. In medically refractory ET, deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus is the current standard of care. However, DBS carries an inherent 2% to 3% risk of hemorrhage, a risk that can be much higher in patients with concomitant coagulopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is a surgical alternative that is highly effective in treating ET, with no reports of intracranial hemorrhage to date.

OBSERVATIONS

This is the first documented case of successful MRgFUS thalamotomy in a patient with von Willebrand disease (VWD). A 60-year-old left-handed male had medically refractory ET, VWD type 2B, and a family history of clinically significant hemorrhage after DBS. He underwent right-sided MRgFUS thalamotomy and received a perioperative course of VONVENDI (recombinant von Willebrand factor) to ensure appropriate hemostasis. Postprocedure imaging confirmed a focal lesion in the right thalamus without evidence of hemorrhage. The patient reported 90% improvement of his left-hand tremor and significant improvement in his quality of life without obvious side effects.

LESSONS

MRgFUS thalamotomy with peri- and postoperative hematological management is a promising alternative to DBS for patients with underlying coagulopathies.
ОДЕСЬКА МУЗИКОЛОГІЧНА ШКОЛА ЯК ІНТЕГРАТИВНИЙ ФЕНОМЕН: ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКІ ВИТОКИ ТА СУЧАСНІ НАЦІОНАЛЬНІ ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ
Authors: Samoilenko Olexandra Ivanivna
Published: June 2024

Мета статті – на основі вивчення досвіду одеського академічного музикознавства розробити актуальні підходи й аргументувати сучасні визначення феномена школи. Методологія дослідження поєднує історіографічний, персонологічний, герменевтичний та семіологічний підходи. Особлива увага приділяється типології конститутивних рис та аксіологічних ознак явища школи. Наукова новизна полягає у цілісній історико-теоретичній оцінці одеської музикознавчої школи як складного діалогічного феномена, що організує взаємодію європейської традиції історико-систематичного музикознавства з сучасними тенденціями національного формування музичної освіти та науки. Пропонується визначення музикознавчої школи на декількох рівнях, з включення підходу до неї як до практичної інституціональної творчості – способу професіоналізації та поглибленої диференціації форм пізнання й реконструкції дійсності. У висновках зазначається, що сучасна школа музикознавства – це колективно-особистісне інтерпретаційне явище, результат пізнавальної й розуміючої діяльності людини та спільноти, інтегративний показник комунікативних, музично-творчих і музичномовних досягнень. Тут вирішальним постає поняття артефакту – і як матеріального, і як духовного (психологічного) досягнення, об'єктивного свідчення творчої сутності (перетворення) суб’єктивної свідомості людини. Школа розкриває, як основний, досвід перетворення, перебудови, зміни реального світу та людини, нового моделювання дійсності, самовдосконалення; це евристико-технологічний тип, у той же час особистісно-трансгресивний когнітивний тип; це досвід, пов'язаний з істотними змінами в способі життя й мислення, у відносинах з навколишнім, який здатний надавати авторські моделі пізнавальної діяльності, як у мистецтві, так і в науці.

Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were utilized to assess the synthetic compounds, SBIa-e, for their antibacterial activity. All compounds were soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water, with yields ranging from 68 to 77%. The molecules showed stretching vibrations corresponding to various functional groups. The presence of amine hydrogen (2.0, 7.0 ppm), aliphatic protons (2.6- 4.3 ppm), imine hydrogen (8.0-8.5 ppm), and protons of the aromatic ring (6.8-7.9 ppm) was indicated by the 1HNMR spectra. Both the bacterial strains were all susceptible to the antibacterial action of the compounds, which showed dose-dependent effects. When the compounds were compared to gram-positive bacteria, it was discovered that the former had greater effectiveness than the latter. SBId had the lowest IC50 against Staphylococcus aureus (70.16 µg/mL) and Escherichia coli (49.19 µg/mL) among the drugs whose IC50 values were calculated.

Human red blood cells have a complex system for regulating cell volume and deformability. This is absolutely necessary to ensure good blood rheology both in large vessels and in the capillary network. The review examines the features of the erythrocyte structure that provide good gas transport functions and excellent blood rheology, despite the fact that erythrocytes occupy 40% of the blood volume. Providing these properties requires the participation of a number of metabolic systems, which allows the red blood cell to work effectively in the bloodstream for 100–120 days without the synthesis of new proteins.
Analysis of the relationship of various pathologies with the degree of multifractality of electrical activity of the brain
Authors: Dick O. E.
Published: June 2024

The review is devoted to the analysis of the relationship between dynamic changes in patterns of electrical activity of the brain during the occurrence of mental disorders in the form of paranoid schizophrenia and depression and in patterns of brain activity in cardiovascular pathology associated with permanent atrial fibrillation, as well as indicators of multifractality of the studied patterns. To assess these indicators of electroencephalographic patterns, we describe a method of multifractal analysis based on the search for maxima of wavelet coefficient modules, and to isolate the fractal component of the signal in the power spectrum we describe a method of autospectral analysis with irregular resampling. It has been shown that the main differences between the multifractal properties of the electrical activity of the brain in health and in pathology are the different widths of the multifractality spectrum and its location, associated with different types of sequential pattern values. In this regard, the multifractality indicators can serve as informative markers of neuronal disorders and can be included in a set of tests for studying various pathologies.
Adverbs of Degree in the
Speech of Foreign Students: Error Analysis and Systematization
Authors: Pozdnyakova A. A. , Chepkova T. P. , Yuycunczy U , Jiaqi Li
Published: June 2024

. The article considers the problems of studying errors, connected with the use
of degree adverbs in Russian speech of foreign students: the causes of this group of
errors are defined, the mechanisms of influence of students’ native language on norms
of word usage in Russian are revealed, the significance of systematic work to introduce
adverbs in the speech practice is stipulated. The authors justify the importance of
changing the general approach to the study of adverbs in the Russian as a second
language practice. The authors believe that adverbs should be seen not only as the
simplest structural elements of a Russian sentence (which is the case today), but also
as a meaningfully and expressively rich layer of Russian vocabulary, a necessary tool
for solving many communicative problems. This becomes possible only in the case of
restructuring the entire system of lexical work, the implementation in pedagogical
practice of the latest methods of teaching foreign languages. Extremely relevant,
according to the authors, is the teacher’s activity to prevent erroneous use of adverbs
of measure and degree in speech, which involves ensuring greater involvement of
students in the process of working on errors, the formation of students’ understanding
of the peculiarities of ethnic errors. Based on the analysis of the negative linguistic
material the article makes a conclusion that the prevention of mistakes, connected with
the use of adverbs of measure and degree in the Russian speech of foreigners, will be
more effective, if, firstly, the links between the character of the mistake and peculiarities
(lexical, structural) of the native language of the student are found and taken into
account, and secondly, the mechanism of stage-by-stage introduction of the newest
methods of the language material presentation to the educational practice is realized.

designers in the process of mastering the discipline “Sculpture”. Within the framework
of the study, a survey of 120 students was conducted to determine the peculiarities of
the formation of their professional competencies in the learning process. The survey
shows that for students the most important professional competencies are creative (high
level of development of artistic and creative aptitudes and abilities – 75%, high level of theoretical knowledge – 68% and creativity – 61%). The average level of frequency is
characterized by such professional competencies as “ability to feel the form and
proportions of form” – 53%, “decorative thinking” – 51%, “spatial thinking” – 48%.
In addition, the article presents a program for the discipline “Sculpture”, which aims
to develop cognitive, practical, creative and social professional competencies required

The article reveals the content and features of professional-applied physical
training of students of pedagogical specialties in accordance with the requirements of
the Federal state educational standard of the third generation + in the pedagogical
institute of Irkutsk State University in practical physical education classes taking into
account the direction and profile of training. Target objectives of the study were aimed
at structuring and content of physical education classes for the section “Professional
Applied Physical Training” taking into account the following two aspects: increasing
the level of functional and physical preparedness of students and the formation of
professional skills of future teachers. On the basis of the analysis of scientific and
methodical literature and own research it was established that professional-applied
physical training in the content should be, if possible, the opposite of professional
activity and thus be in direct dependence on the nature of its content. A specially
selected methodological support of the process of professional applied physical training
was developed and its basic foundations (health-protective organization of school
lesson and extracurricular training, use of personally meaningful means of physical
culture, formation of practical skills of implementing the content of physical culture
and health work, etc.) were defined. In order to assess the level of formation of abilities
and skills of future professional activity organization in the aspect of its implementation
by means of physical culture and taking into account pedagogical orientation, a
complex assessment of the level of professional competences of first-year students of
the Pedagogical Institute of Irkutsk State University in the number of 108 people was
carried out. The results obtained from the introduction of the section “Professional
Applied Physical Training” into the content of physical education and educational
process of pedagogical university showed a significant increase in the effectiveness of
the level of professional competences of future teachers.
Etymological Understanding of the Concept of “Year” in Russian, Chinese
and Japanese Linguocultures
Authors: Xue Chen
Published: June 2024

The article deals with the study of “year” as the core of the concept of time,
its etymology and how it reflects national stereotypes in phraseological expressions and
texts. The author chose lexicographic publications such as Xinhua Dictionary, Kangxi
Dictionary and Sino-Japanese Dictionary as the material for the study. First, the author
explores the meaning of the word “year” from an etymological point of view, using
linguistic data to trace its roots in the context of Russian, Chinese and Japanese. The
author then compares the differences and similarities between the three languages in
terms of fixed word combinations, sentence patterns, and cultural contexts. This topic
is very relevant, as no article has yet studied the concept “year” in terms of multilingual
etymological analysis. There is also no classification and analysis of phrases with the concept “year” in different languages on the basis of linguistic anthropology. The
results of the analysis presented in this article can be used in the practice of intercultural
communication.

The study of the concept “education” has a special relevance, as it is one of
the basic in the system of linguistic and cultural values of speakers of any of the
languages. This fact is due to the fact that education as a social phenomenon
accompanies a person throughout his life. According to V.I. Karasik’s classification, the
concept “education” refers to specialized ethno-cultural and socio-cultural concepts.
The concept “education” includes the process of learning, obtaining new social
knowledge, the process of protection from negative external factors, taking care of
social and physical well-being. The aim of the study is to define the structure and
content of the concept “education”. The study of the linguistic and cognitive
phenomenon “education” can serve as a source of information about the mentality of
carriers of any language culture and their system of values. To achieve the goal the
following theoretical and empirical research methods were chosen: the analysis of
scientific and methodological literature on the chosen topic of research; synthesis,
which consists in uniting separately taken facts on the topic of research into a single
whole to form an idea of the concept “education”; systematization, which consists in
classification of considered objects of research according to chosen criteria; statistical
method, which allowed to get and analyze obtained quantitative data; component
analysis and analysis of the lexical meaning, linguistic and cultural comment. Taking
into account the lexical-semantic field, the concept “education” has components based
on the criteria of the participants in the process. In the process of work the concept
«education» was considered from a number of positions: as training, as education, as
socialization, as transfer of experience, as development and formation. For each of
them examples of the core, near periphery and far periphery were presented. The study
is conducted within the framework of the scientific linguistic picture of the world.
