Military Building Inscription from Aenaria
Authors: Gelone Marcello
Published: August 2023

On the slope of Monte di Vico at Ischia there was an inscription recording the construction of a fortress by two characters with Oscan names and some soldiers. After recalling the various hypotheses about the document’s historical context, the most recent one, though neglected, is endorsed: the two characters were archons of Neapolis, who arranged the defences of Aenaria during the First or Second Punic War. New considerations are provided about the archonship at Neapolis, besides a complete historical commentary of the document, whose importance for the history of the Neapolitan constitution is highlighted.

Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Lee YuNa , Noh Mijin , Kim YangSok , Han MuMoungCho
Published: August 2023

As face-to-face communication has become difficult due to the COVID-19 pandemic, studies have been conducted to understand the impact of non-face-to-face communication, but there is a lack of research that examines this through messenger application reviews. This study aims to identify the impact of the pandemic through Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling by collecting review data of 메신저 applications in the Google Play Store and suggest service strategies accordingly. The study categorized the data based on when the pandemic started and the ratings given by users. The analysis showed that messenger is mainly used by middle-aged and older people, and that family communication increased after the pandemic. Users expressed frustration with the application's updates and found it difficult to adapt to the changes. This calls for a development approach that adjusts the frequency of updates and actively listens to user feedback. Also, providing an intuitive and simple user interface (UI) is expected to improve user satisfaction.

Published: August 2023

As Netflix usage has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, users' experiences with the service have also increased. Therefore, this study aims to conduct topic modeling analysis based on Netflix review data to explore the changes in Netflix user experience and service before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected Netflix app review data from the Google Play Store using the Google Play Scraper library, and used topic modeling to examine keyword differences between app reviews before and after the pandemic. The analysis revealed four main topics: Netflix app features, Netflix content, Netflix service usage, and Netflix overall reviews. After the pandemic, when user experience increased, users tended to use more diverse and detailed keywords in their reviews. By using Netflix review data to analyze users' opinions, this study shows the changes in user experience of Netflix services before and after the pandemic, which can be used as a guide to strengthen competitiveness in the competitive OTT market.

Published: August 2023

The impact of fracture is discontinuity and tissue damage. If not treated immediately will cause complications. There needs to be management that can prevent complications. Pain experienced by patients can be known by measuring using a pain scale.  If not treated immediately will cause complications. There needs to be management that can prevent complications. Surgical management includes closed reduction, fixation, open reduction, Open Reduction External Fixation (OREF), and Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF). Distractions have the best effect for short periods of time, for example during invasive procedures or while waiting for analgesics to work. Distraction techniques can be applied to patients with acute pain, chronic pain and anxiety patients. The role of the nurse is to provide physical health services to the patient, namely as a care giver and to the patient's psychological health, namely as an educator. Nurses must be able to provide comfort so that patients avoid pain.  So, nurses should combine pharmacological and non-pharmacological management such as providing distraction techniques according to SOP to reduce pain. This research is a quantitative research with a quasi-experimental research type. With the treatment group by measuring the level of pain before the distraction technique was carried out with the control group by measuring the level of pain after the distraction technique was carried out. Statistical test results showed that there were differences in pain levels before and after the distraction technique was performed with a p value of 0,017 (0.15). Distraction technique is effective for reducing the pain level of post ORIF extremity fracture patients at Sundari General Hospital in Medan. Should be able to apply more distraction techniques as non-pharmacological therapy to reduce pain in accordance with established operational standards.

A Web-based Decision Support Framework for Optimizing Road Network Accessibility and Emergency Facility Allocation During Flooding
Authors: Alabbad Yazeed , Mount Jerry , Campbell Ann , Demir Ibrahim
Published: August 2023

Transportation systems can be significantly affected by flooding, leading to physical damage and subsequent adverse impacts such as increased travel distance to essential services. Even though flooding is a frequently recurring phenomenon that can affect thousands of people per event, there are limited accessible online tools available for analyzing and visualizing flood risk for supporting decisions on routing and emergency planning, and response. Existing tools are generally based on complicated models and are not easily accessible to non-expert users. Therefore, it is critical to have efficient real-time communication and decision tools for analyzing flood impacts on transportation networks for various stakeholders, including the public, to minimize the adverse impacts on those groups. This paper presents a web application that uses graph network methods and the latest web technologies and standards to assist in describing flood events in terms of operational constraints and provide analytical methods to support mobility and mitigation decisions during these events. The framework is designed to be user-friendly, enabling non-expert users to access information about road status, shortest paths to critical amenities, location-allocation, and service coverage. The study area includes the following two communities in the State of Iowa, Cedar Rapids and Charles City, which were used to test the application's functionality and explore the outcomes. Our research demonstrates that flooding can significantly affect bridge operation, routing from locations to critical amenities, arbitrary point-to-point routing, planning for emergency facility placement, and service area accessibility. The introduced framework is capable of solving complex flood-related analytical decision tasks and providing an understandable representation of transportation vulnerability, enhancing mitigation strategies. Therefore, this web application provides a valuable tool for stakeholders to make informed decisions on transportation networks during flood events.
A self-programming theory of perception
Authors: Li Fangfang , Zhang Xiaojie
Published: August 2023

This paper relies on the self-programming mind hypothesis, providing a novel perspective on perception. According to this interpretation, the process of perception is essentially one of controlling the inflow of sensory information. Through this control, the mind can represent the current sensory input through known concepts. This further allows the mind to acquire the relationships that associate the perceived objects with other known concepts. Thus, consciously considered decisions can be made based on these relationships. The method by which the mind locates the known concepts for representing objects is by obtaining subjective symbol sequences generated from sensory input and top-down processing. These top-down processes for establishing and activating these subjective symbol sequences arise from the habitualization of actions obtained through historical conscious decision-making. This habitualization process applies to both action-based and non-action-based perceptions. To show the evidence that this idea is aligned with the mechanism of perception, we compared it with predictive coding both theoretically and empirically. We show that this idea gives more plausible interpretations than predictive coding in both these two aspects. Through this novel understanding of perception, we have also revisited the process of object recognition. Furthermore, we discussed the relationship between cognition and perception, indicating that the core association between these two systems is that unconscious perceptual processes originate from conscious historical decisions. This suggests a new direction that empirical research about the relationships between cognition and perception should consider. Finally, we dissolved some significant issues faced by action-based theories of perception.
Fundamental processes in sensorimotor learning: Reasoning, Refinement, and Retrieval
Authors: Tsay Jonathan Sanching , Kim Hyosub E. , McDougle Samuel D , Taylor Jordan A. , Haith Adrian , Avraham Guy , Krakauer John W. , Collins Anne , Ivry Richard
Published: August 2023

[Now published in eLife: https://elifesciences.org/articles/91839] Motor learning is often viewed as a unitary process that operates outside of conscious awareness. This perspective has led to the development of sophisticated models designed to elucidate the mechanisms of implicit sensorimotor learning. In this review we argue for a broader perspective, emphasizing the contribution of explicit strategies to sensorimotor learning tasks. Furthermore, we propose a theoretical framework for motor learning that consists of three fundamental processes: Reasoning, the process of understanding action-outcome relationships; Refinement, the process of optimizing sensorimotor and cognitive parameters to achieve motor goals; and Retrieval, the process of inferring the context and recalling a control policy. We anticipate that this “3R” framework for understanding how complex movements are learned will open exciting avenues for future research at the intersection between cognition and action.
Achievement Goals: The Past Present, and Possible Future of Achievement Goal Research in the Context of Learning and Teaching
Authors: Daumiller Martin
Published: August 2023

The achievement goal approach is a particularly prominent approach to study differences in motivation. Rooted in the works developed by seminal achievement goal theorists in the 1980s, a wealth of knowledge has been gained about the characteristics, antecedents, and consequences of goal pursuit. Beyond this, achievement goal research is continuously expanding, with multiple recent theoretical developments and accompanying empirical realizations. This chapter presents an overview of the origins of achievement goal research and noteworthy theoretical developments to explain (1) how achievement goals can be conceptualized, (2) which types of goals are distinguishable and relevant, and (3) how they are pursued. Within this chapter, a focus is placed on students and teachers, including systematic differences between different learning and teaching contexts and how they can contribute to answer open questions in achievement goal research. Special attention is also paid to key emerging lines of research in the literature, including reasons behind goals and goal complexes, multiple goal pursuit and goal profiles, and generality and specificity of goal pursuit—paired with a discussion of the relevance of these issues for the design of empirical studies and the operationalisation of achievement goals.
Greater Attention to Socioeconomic Status in Developmental Research Can Improve the External Validity, Generalizability, and Replicability of Developmental Science
Authors: Singh Leher , Rajendra Sarah Josephine
Published: August 2023

Psychological researchers have been criticized for making broad presumptions about human behavior based on limited sampling. In part, presumptive generalizability is reflected in under-reporting of sociodemographic variation in research reports. In this analysis, we examine time-trends in reporting of a key sociodemographic construct relevant to many aspects of child development – socioeconomic status – across 6 mainstream developmental journals (Infancy, Child Development, Developmental Science, Developmental Psychology, Infant and Child Development, and Infant Behavior & Development). Findings point to significant and consistent under-reporting of socio-economic status across journals and across time. Reporting rates varied significantly by region and by topic of development. Over time, there was remarkable stability in the use of income and caregiver education as SES indicators. Development and use of context-appropriate markers of SES and access to meaningful conversion tools from data collected across diverse settings are important considerations for researchers. The scientific costs of the lack of integration of socio-economic factors in developmental research are addressed and pathways to greater integration of SES are proposed.

Information on the distribution of algal flora of Kingfisher Lake was collected and the data revealed that the dominant members belong to the classes Bacillariophyceae and Zygnematophyceae, each having 15 species; followed by Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae. Similarly, the physico-chemical parameters of water were measured by a digital portable multiparameter (HI98194) in the field. Water temperature was low during post-monsoon season. Electrical conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Oxidation Reduction Potential and Dissolved Oxygen were high in post-monsoon season while the pH of the lake water was alkaline and low pH in post-monsoon season. The number of algal species was found higher in pre-monsoon season than in post-monsoon season. The study showed that the lake is rich in algal species. Presence of the species like Closterium sp. and Oscillatoria sp. indicate that the lake is eutrophicated and polluted. Thus, further investigations were needed.

The genus Dendrobium, with sparse distribution in nature, is one of the largest genera of Orchidaceae. DNA barcoding could be the best option for rapid and accurate identification of the Dendrobium species. The objective of the present study is to delineate the Dendrobium species using DNA barcoding technology. Here, we used a specimen of Dendrobium sp. collected from Brindaban Botanical Garden, Makawanpur (540 m asl) as a test object. We amplified and sequenced three chloroplast loci, rbcL (Ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase), matK (Maturase K) and psbA-trnH (intergenic spacer) from the specimen. We retrieved twelve accessions of plastome sequences from NCBI, representing six Dendrobium species (D. candidum, D. crepidatum, D. chrysanthum, D. denneanum, D. fimbriatum and D. moschatum) reported in Nepal. Similarly, one accession of plastome of Bulbophyllum epiphytum was also retrieved, to be used as an out-group. Respective aligned sequences of rbcL, matK and psbA-trnH were extracted from each accession. Evolutionary analysis was performed following the Maximum Likelihood approach using MEGA X. The result showed that the evolutionary tree generated with combined sequences of all three loci (rbcL, matK and psbA-trnH) was better compared to that generated with sequence of single locus. However, additional markers are required for higher accuracy.

India is one of the foremost countries not only in Asia, but worldwide famed as far as the wealth of traditional knowledge and floristic richness is concerned. Within India, the state of Himachal Pradesh is rich in plant diversity and in addition is also gifted with rich and diverse heritage of cultural traditions. Arboreal plants form an integral source of readily available, traditional medicines to the indigenous communities of the far-flung remote regions. This study pertains to the important woody flora in the Nogli watershed area of Sutlej River Catchment, which are being utilized by the local communities. Ethnobotanical surveys carried between the years 2020 and 2022 are based on semi-structured questionnaires and group discussions, while reconnaissance survey was carried out in all seasons to understand and analyze the vegetation of the region. Response from 50 respondents covering all age groups was recorded. As an outcome, 44 plant species (26 trees and 18 shrubs) of ethno-medicinal importance were identified from the study area. The plant species are spread across 24 families with Rosaceae being the most dominant. The outcome from this study shall form the baseline data for ethnopharmacological research in future. In addition to this a conservation and management plan can also be chalked out for the species which are heavily extracted from the forests. Such systematic and researched information will add up to an extensive database of the plants used by native communities, and this information could be dispersed to the new generation for awareness and sustainable utilization of plants.

This study aims to document the traditional knowledge on medicinal use of plants by Kathariya (Tharu) community in Kailali district. Kathariya is one of the sub-group of the Tharu community whose culture and language is slightly different from other sub-groups. Traditional healers Guruwa of Kathariya community from five study sites viz. Sisaiya, Tappa, Udasipur, Pawera and Joshipur of Kailali were identified as key informants. Exploratory research design was adopted and interview method was used to collect the primary information through Semi-structured open-ended questionnaire. Altogether 70 species of plants used for medicinal purposes were documented. Sixteen species were found useful in cuts, wounds and swelling which is one of ten health issues categorized in the present study. Thirteen and Twelve species were recorded to be used in abdominal disorders and skin diseases respectively. The community usually mixes powder in measurement of two and half grains of each Barley and Black Pepper during preparations of medicine for oral route of consumption. Based on habit, highest number of plant species belongs to herbs (30 species). Among five study sites, highest number of species was recorded in Udasipur with 35 species. Regarding the parts of plant used, roots and leaves were found to be used often  equally, which were represented by 24 species each. Achyranthes aspera, Euphorbia hirta, Azadirachta indica and Clerodendrom infortunatum were the most frequently used species. This study generated preliminary but crucial information which may open the avenue for utilization of biological resources. Further research leading to bio-prospecting is needed to utilize these resources.

Authors: Joshi Nirmala
Published: August 2023

Socio-culture plays a significant role in conservation of indigenous knowledge and ethnic food in Nepal. Ethnic food makes the basis of diversified food which contributes to improve the health, besides food and nutrition securities. Documentation of plant based traditional food is crucial to enhance intercultural and intergenerational relations. Most of the traditional foods are prepared to celebrate rituals and culture using plants and plant products. This study gives a general overview of plant based traditional foods and rituals of Newar ethnic group inhabiting in Kathmandu Valley, Central Nepal. Data were gathered through ethnobotanical inventory, through interviews, participatory observations at festivals and ceremonies to document plants type, types of traditional food, consumption of traditional food in rituals, in addition to the challenges involved for indigenous knowledge preservation. Altogether 54 plant species were used for preparation of 45 types of traditional food. These traditional foods are consumed during celebration of more than 25 rituals and cultures of Newar ethnic group. Wild plants such as Blumea lacera, Centella asiatica, Choerospondias axillaris, Urtica dioica, etc. in particular occurred close to the areas where Newar community live and are mostly used for traditional food preparation. Other important plants were supplied by cultivation (i.e., domesticated species) and through markets. The young generation showed little interest in the consumption of traditional food. There is a great challenge to conserve traditional food and the related culture. Documentation of traditional knowledge about ethnic foods and their consumption in rituals will contribute for sustainable conservation of traditional food and culture for future generations.
