Exploring effects of institutional, interpersonal, & individual communication on university students' attitudes about diversity and institutional belongingness
Authors: Chattopadhyay Dhiman
Published: August 2022

University campuses are critical spaces where the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in society are discussed, debated, and understood. However, even as campus communities in the US and elsewhere grow more diverse, higher education institutions are facing an existential crisis–high dropout rates, low enrollments, growing disenchantment with education, and issues of otherization and racism on campus. It has never been more necessary for administrators, faculty, staff and all stakeholders to understand the role of effective institutional, intergroup, and individual communication in increasing students’ sense of university belongingness, and positively affecting their attitudes towards ‘others’. Using the lens of systems theory and intergroup contact theory, this study analyzes how institutional, interpersonal, and individual level factors affect college students’ attitudes about diversity, and their university belongingness. An online survey of 434 students from a midsized public university in the U.S., indicated that specific institutional communication strategies, intergroup interactions between faculty and students, as well as individual experiences such as microaggressions, significantly affected student attitudes about diversity, and their sense of campus belongingness. Results highlighted both areas of hope, as well as key challenges for higher education administrators. Implications, including recommendations for student success, greater intercultural collaboration, and creating a more inclusive campus community, are discussed.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF SOCIAL CAPITAL, CIVIL SOCIETY AND DEVELOPMENT
Authors: KARATAŞ Mehmet Veysel
Published: August 2022

“Sosyal sermaye” kavramı 20 yüzyılın son çeyreğinde beşeri bilimler literatüründe yoğunluklu olarak tartışılmaya başlandı. Son iki yüzyılda Batılı ülkelerin gelişmişliğinin asıl motivasyon kaynağının liberal bireyselicilik olduğu tezi
kabul gördü. İnsanlar modernleştikçe ortadan kalkacağına inanılan, güven, sadakat gibi geleneksel değerlerin ürünü olan dayanışma temelli ilişki biçimleri, zamanla modern rasyonel ve çıkar temelli bireyselcilikle yer değiştirecekti.
Sosyal sermaye kavramı, toplumsal refahın ve kalkınmanın liberal bireyselcilikle eş tutulduğu bir çağda, ihmal edilen geleneksel değerlerle bir uzlaşı niteliğinde öne çıkmaktaydı. Sosyal sermaye tartışmalarıyla birlikte, yalnızlığın
insan doğasına çok uygun olmadığı, güven ve dayanışmanın önemli olduğu, insanların bir birlerine destek olmaları durumunda başarının artacağı fikri egemen olmaya başladı. Daha da önemlisi bu güven ve dayanışmanın bir “sermaye”
olduğu ve en az diğer sermaye türleri kadar değerli olduğu fikri kabul gördü. Sosyal sermaye kavramı gündeme geldiği andan itibaren çağdaş toplumsal sorunların neredeyse tümünün çözümünün bir anahtarı olarak kabul gördü. Sağlık,
eğitim, kalkınma, demokratikleşme vb. problemlerle ilişkili olarak görüldüğü için de interdisipliner bir boyut taşımaktaydı. Bu çalışma, sosyal sermaye kavramını sivil toplum, kalkınma ve demokratikleşme perspektifinden ele almaktadır.
Sosyal sermaye sivil toplum ve demokrasi ile ilişkisi sosyal sermayenin önemli kuramcılarından olan Robert Putnam’ın yaklaşımı çerçevesinde değerlendirilecektir.

Authors: Yaroslavsky D. A.
Published: August 2022

The article PURPOSE with the problem of monitoring the state of high-voltage overhead power lines in order to ensure uninterrupted and reliable supply of consumers with electricity. METHODS. As parameters of the state, the sag, the tensile force and the mass per unit length of the wire hanging in the span are defined. IT IS STRESSED that a complete picture of the state of an overhead line can be established by determining the spectral composition of the wire vibrations using mounted automated multi-parameter sensors with accelerometers as sensors. It is shown that the currently used dynamic models for describing the motion of a wire as a pendulum and as a tightly stretched string are not complete enough to represent the vibrations of the wire in all three spatial coordinates, do not cover vibrations with odd harmonics and symmetrical vibrations. A system of equations has been OBTAINED that makes it possible to describe the spatial oscillations of the wire along all three axes, taking into account the difference in heights of the wire suspension points. IT IS SHOWN that the analysis of the higher harmonics of the spectrum of vibrations of the wire makes it possible to determine all the main mechanical parameters of the wires of overhead power lines.

Authors: Marques Bruno , Bahcevandziev Kiril , Melo Paulo César de , Critchley Alan T.
Published: August 2022

Background: The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), is one of the most relevant legumes worldwide, as a source of protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and biologically important minerals. In recent decades, bean production increased significantly, especially in developing countries, where the availability of animal protein is often in short supply. However, a large portion of this agricultural production has been achieved in an unsustainable manner, through the intensive use of non-renewable agrochemicals, which in both the short and long term negatively affect soil fertility. To address this problem, the use of sustainable and renewable bio-inputs derived from macroalgae, and microorganisms may be amongst solutions required. Extracts of seaweeds have been shown to be biodegradable and non-toxic both for treated plants and consumers. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the application of three bio-inputs made from different organisms on a common bean variety (BRSMG Realce) by analysing plant physiology and productivity, pod morphology, nutritional and mineral characterization of the bean. The study also aimed to evaluate the length of BRSMG Realce crop life cycle and compare its nutritional value with other commonly consumed varieties. Methods: Six treatments were performed: T0 — Control; T1 — Calmar® (soil — 100 kg/ha); T2 — Profertil® (foliar — 0.5%(v/v)); T3 — Albit® (leaf — 0.02%(v/v)); T4 — Calmar® ((100 kg/ha) + Profertil® (0.5%(v/v)); T5 — Calmar® ((100 kg/ha) + Albit® (0.02% (v/v)). Results: The leaf chlorophyll index revealed significant increases for T2, T4 and T5, compared to control. In general, the treatments related to the pods morphology showed significant increases in the length/width ratio. In terms of productivity, significant increases were found with T1, T4 and T5. In the analysis of the nutritional value of dried beans there were significant increases in the contents of fiber in T1, protein in T4 and T5 and carbohydrates for T1, T2 and T3. For mineral composition, there were increases in the phosphorus content of T2, T4 and T5 beans. When the cooked beans were analysed, T4 and T1 produced a greater amount of ash and proteins, as compared to control. Conclusions: The applications of bio-inputs in the bean crop (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) exerted several positive and significant effects, mainly on the CCI, productivity, pod morphology as well as cooked bean nutritional values. It was verified that BRSMG Reakce has the potential to be included in the Portuguese diet.

Background: Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), a group of heterogeneous neoplasms, are the most frequent tumors of teenagers and young men, with the incidence rising worldwide. High cure rates can be achieved through cisplatin (CDDP)-based treatment, but approximately 10% of patients present refractory disease and virtually no treatment alternatives. Here, we explored new strategies to treat CDDP-resistant. Methods: In vitro TGCT CDDP-resistance model was established and differential mRNA expression profiles were evaluated using NanoString technology. Then, TGCT cell lines were treated with four potential drugs (PCNA-I1, ML323, T2AA, and MG-132) to overcome CDDP-resistance. Results: We found several differentially expressed genes related to DNA repair and cell cycle regulation on CDDP-resistant cell line (NTERA-2R) compared to parental cell line (NTERA-2P), and the proteasome inhibitor MG-132 demonstrated cytotoxic activity in all cell lines evaluated, even at a nanomolar range. MG-132 also enhanced cell lines’ sensitivity to CDDP, increasing apoptosis in both NTERA-2P and NTERA-2R. Conclusions: MG-132 emerges as a potential new drug to treat CDDP-resistant TGCT. Targeted therapy based on molecular mechanism insights may contribute to overcome acquired chemotherapy CDDP-resistance.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: The spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic led the Italian government to impose restrictive measures. Schools were closed and the organization of Distance Learning (DL) made adolescents face the psychological impact of the pandemic and the loss of their social life. Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the psychological impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and DL on students, attending two high schools in the Lodi area (Lombardy, Italy). Method: A questionnaire, composed of PSYCHO-COVID 19 and EMOTION THERMOMETER applied to DL, was administered anonymously through the Google Drive School platform, from May 5th to June 5th 2020. Results: Analysis of the protocols revealed stress reactions in 35% of students (12% High, 7% Moderate, 16% Mild). Principal Components Analysis also revealed the presence of a “distress entity” characterized by anxiety, depressive and somatic symptoms (comparable to those of post-traumatic stress syndrome), with a greater impact on females. The analysis of data on DL showed that online teaching was experienced negatively, in an almost linear correlation, by those subjects who had expressed distress. Conclusions: The results suggest that the pandemic had a traumatic impact on adolescents, especially on girls; psychological distress negatively influenced individual experiences with DL. Appropriate psychotherapeutic interventions are needed to prevent the chronicization of stress reactions and to facilitate the adaptation of adolescents to possible rapid changes in educational management.

Published: August 2022

Background: The differential diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia (BL) and the double or triple hit lymphomas remains often problematic in terms of immunophenotyping in association with MYC gene analysis. In the past, BL-like B-cell malignancy with B-cell precursor phenotype (BCP-ALL) was described. Case Report: We report here an 84-year-old male with massive ascites without superficial lymphadenopathy. Abdominal paracentesis revealed chylous (non-bloody) ascites consisting of mostly abnormal BL-like blasts showing CD20-negative BCP phenotype. However, molecular study indicated no MYC/IGH, but probable involvements of MYC/IGL and BCL6/IGH translocations, which were confirmed by FISH studies.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a major health threat in women. While traditional CVD risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and smoking have been recognized for over 50 years, optimal control of these risk factors remains a major challenge. Unique sex-specific risk factors such as adverse pregnancy outcomes, premature menopause and low estrogen states, and chronic autoimmune inflammatory disorders also contribute to increased CVD risk in women. In addition, psychological risk factors such as stress, depression, and social determinants of health may have a disproportionately adverse impact in women. An improved understanding of traditional and emerging sex-specific CVD risk factors and management of modifiable factors is critical for clinicians who provide care for women. Early recognition and treatment of risk factors may alter the trajectory of adverse CVD events. A multi-disciplinary approach with team-based care involving multiple specialists and improved, targeted educational efforts are needed to reduce CVD risk factors and its adverse consequences in women.

This project will use secondary data analysis to explore financial behaviors and economic inequality globally. We will investigate the patterns and predictors of positive deviance across and within 60 countries. Using this framework, we aim to better understand what incremental behaviors or individual factors might form the basis of more effective interventions to reduce financial inequality.

in general Technology can be defined as the set of knowledge, skills, and techniques which humans change, transform and use to create tools, machines, products, and services that meet our needs and desires. In this presentation, we focus on discussing technology on ELT context; there are some reasons why it is really important: 1.Students are engaging with technology constantly outside of the classroom. Students like to be interactive, and learning through technology has now become a part of their lifestyle. 2.Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun. Students are also able to collaborate with their classmates through technological applications. 3.Assessing students’ performance can be done instantly with technology. Beyond seeing test scores in real-time, teachers can better track and understand students’ grasp of the subject. 4.Students know technology better than most adults. It has become the easiest way they learn because it is such an integral part of their life. Engaging with technology in the classroom has not only helped them learn better, but they also acquire multi-tasking skills. 5.Computers, tablets, and other forms of technology bring multiple resources for the teacher that’s not in the book. They not only keep students engaged with exciting new features and apps but also have other ways to teach students material. 6.We do understand that every student learns differently, and technology helps with this gap as well. The students now are considered technological learners.
CSR in the Maritime industry: impact of maritime CSR policies on seafarers’ welfare
Authors: Tran Lan Phuong
Published: August 2022

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a fairly new philosophy to the shipping industry. The shipping industry, by its very nature, is the most globalised and highly regulated industry of all. Compared to land-based industries, the shipping industry has a long list of stakeholders in its supply chain. This creates many difficulties for the shipping industry when attempting to satisfy the punitive demands of all its stakeholders. The broad aims of this study are to see if the shipping industry’s CSR requirements with regard to seafarers’ welfare are met and how maritime security initiatives give seafarers a difficult time. The study used qualitative case study approach and it’s not part of any ongoing or past research. The results show that seafarers are very often criminalised in the name of maritime security for situations that are not their fault. They also reveal that the CSR schemes of many shipping companies are merely window- dressing. Seafarers, as a major stakeholder and an important working part of the shipping industry, are exposed to unnecessary risks and extra work for shareholders’ financial benefit. While the shipping industry attempts to improve its image through seafarers’ efforts, this extra workload is reflected neither in the seafarers’ contracts nor in their pay slips
Socially Motivated Self Control

Exercising self control can be remarkably difficult. How much of this difficulty is because individuals are overemphasizing the role that the "self" needs to play in executing it? Across three studies (n = 248 and 10,233 observations), we examined whether construing a self control domain in terms of its social implications improved decision-making. We found that thinking about a specific relationship relevant to the self control domain improved decision-making relative to other relationships, that merely thinking about the social ramifications of one's actions in the self control domain improved decision-making, and that these effects were moderated by the extent to which individuals reported higher levels of relational obligation to those around them. Taken together, these studies suggest that when it comes to self control, turning one's focus away from the self may sometimes lead to more effective outcomes.
Using a cognitive model to explain mathematical thought
Authors: Friesen Lorin
Published: August 2022

This paper uses the cognitive model of mental symmetry to explain how major elements of mathematical thought emerge from the structure of the mind. Mental symmetry suggests the mind can function in the three primary ways of technical thought, normal thought, and mental networks. The hypothesis is presented that mathematical thought can be analyzed cognitively as the interaction between abstract and concrete technical thought. Going further, abstract technical thought is seeded by concrete technical thought but can then function independently of concrete technical thought. This hypothesis is supported by looking at the history and context of math.
Rotation-tolerant representations elucidate the time-course of high-level object processing

Humans have little difficulty recognising visual objects in many circumstances, despite the very different retinal images that result from different viewpoints. One source of variability is 2-D rotation, where an object seen from different perspectives results in different orientations. Here, we studied how the brain transforms rotated object images into object representations that are tolerant to rotation. We measured time-varying electroencephalography responses to objects in eight orientations, presented at either 5 Hz or 20 Hz. We used multivariate classification to assess at what point in time rotation-tolerant object information emerged, and whether we could disrupt the rotation-tolerant object processing by presenting stimuli rapidly (20 Hz) to limit the depth of processing. We compared this to fixed-rotation measures of object decoding, where the classifier is trained and tested on the same orientation. Our results showed that both fixed-rotation and rotation-tolerant object decoding emerged at an early stage of processing, less than 100 ms after stimulus onset. However, rotation-tolerant information peaked later than fixed-rotation information, suggesting rotation-tolerant object representations are most robust during a late stage of processing, around 200 ms after stimulus onset. Both fixed-rotation and rotation-tolerant object information was lower for the 20 Hz compared to 5 Hz presentation rate, which suggests that object information processing is disrupted, but not eliminated, for fast presentation rates. Our results show that object information arises at similar times in the brain regardless of whether it is investigated with the fixed-rotation or rotation-tolerant object decoding method, but it is the later stage of processing that reconciles different viewpoints into a single rotation-tolerant representation.
Capital Increment Trend of Nepal Multipurpose Cooperatives Society
Authors: Uprety Bikash Prasad
Published: August 2022

This study aims to analyze the capital increment trend of Nepal Multipurpose Cooperatives Society (NMC) in the last 9 years. NMC was established on 8March 1994 as a cooperative organization. This article reciprocally analyses the changing situation of its capital and number of members during ten years. NMC is an autonomous institution. However, its financial activities and positions are not independent. They depend on various external financial factors, i.e., the overall changing in the capital scenario of Nepal's Capital Market, level of competition among financial institutions, recent trends of capital situations in its internal affairs, government policy towards cooperatives, general attitudes of people and some internal movement regarding its operational activities. Basically, growth of a cooperative organization depends upon the managerial skills and responsible authorities of a cooperative organization and some crucial external factors which directly or indirectly affect the institutional activities. The increasing trend of capital and number of shareholder members indicate the increasing volume of the institution which shows NMC is a growing organization. Mainly, share capital, institutional capital, number of shareholder members, per member average share capital profitability as a form of earning per share are analyzed in this article. Capital increment trend is also analyzed with the eight years' strategic business plan.
