Music Hath Charms: The Effects of Valence and Arousal on Recovery Following an Acute Stressor
Authors: M. Sandstrom Gillian , Russo Frank
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the valence and arousal dimensions of music over the time course of physiological (skin conductance level and heart rate) and subjective (Subjective Unit of Discomfort score) recovery from an acute stressor. Participants experienced stress after being told to prepare a speech, and were then exposed to happy, peaceful, sad, or agitated music. Music with a positive valence promoted both subjective and physiological recovery better than music with a negative valence, and low-arousal music was more effective than high-arousal music. Repeated measures analyses found that the emotion conveyed by the music affected skin conductance level recovery immediately following the stressor, whereas it affected heart rate recovery in a more sustained fashion. Follow-up tests found that positively valenced low-arousal (i.e., peaceful) music was more effective across the time course than an emotionally neutral control (white noise).
System and Method for Displaying Sound as Vibrations
Authors: Karam Maria , Fels Deborah I. , Russo Frank
Published: March 2024

There is provided a method and a system for presenting audio signals as vibrotactile stimuli to the body in accordance with a Model Human Cochlea (MHC). Audio signals are obtained for presentation. The audio signals are separated into multiple bands of discrete frequency ranges that encompass the complete audio signal. Those signals are output to multiple vibrotactile devices. The vibrotactile devices may be positioned in a respective housing to intensify and constrain a vibrational energy from the vibrotactile devices. Output of the vibrotactile devices stimulate the cutaneous receptors of the skin at the locations where the vibrotactile devices are placed. In one embodiment, a system implements this method using audio voice coils that are embedded in a chair, which make contact with the human body while seated.
A Scoping Review and Field Guide of Theoretical Approaches and Recommendations to Studying the Decision to Adopt Hearing Aids
Authors: Russo Frank
Published: March 2024

Objectives: Given the low rates of hearing aid adoption among individuals with hearing loss, it is imperative to better understand the decision-making processes leading to greater hearing aid uptake. A careful analysis of the existing literature on theoretical approaches to studying these processes is needed to help researchers frame hypotheses and methodology in studies on audiology. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review with two aims. First, we examine theories that have been used to study research on hearing aid adoption. Second, we propose additional theories from the behavioral sciences that have not yet been used to examine hearing aid uptake but that can inform future research.

Design: We identified peer-reviewed publications whose research was driven by one or more theoretical approaches by searching through PubMed, ProQuest PsycINFO, CINHAL Plus, Web of Science, Scopus, and OVID Medline/Embase/PsycINFO. The publications were examined by two researchers for eligibility.

Results: Twenty-three papers were included in the analysis. The most common theoretical approaches studied include the Health Belief Model, the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, Self-Determination Theory, and the COM-B Model. Seven other theoretical frameworks based on cognitive psychology and behavioral economics have also appeared in the literature. In addition, we propose considering nudge theory, framing effect, prospect theory, social learning theory, social identity theory, dual process theories, and affective-based theories of decision making when studying hearing aid adoption.

Conclusions: We conclude that, although a number of theories have been considered in research on hearing aid uptake, there are considerable methodological limitations to their use. Furthermore, the field can benefit greatly from the inclusion of novel theoretical approaches drawn from outside of audiology.

Co łączy sektory intensywnie korzystające z praw własności intelektualnej z przemysłem wydobywczym?
Authors: Buriak Svitlana , Hafkenscheid Rutger
Published: March 2024

W tym artykule poruszamy jedną z najchętniej w ostatnim czasie omawianych, a jednocześnie budzącą największe kontrowersje, kwestię luki w zakresie cen transferowych: jak zakłócenia na rynku, dominująca siła rynkowa oraz warunki ekonomiczne, które nie wpasowują się w normalny cykl gospodarczy, powinny wpływać na analizę cen transferowych w transakcjach kontrolowanych? W czasie ostatnich kryzysów gospodarczych wywołanych pandemią COVID-19 oraz kryzysu bezpieczeństwa energetycznego, będącego konsekwencją rosyjskiej inwazji na Ukrainę, stało się jasne, że zyski przedsiębiorstw mogą nie zawsze być bezpośrednim wynikiem decyzji inwestorów lub – w kontekście cen transferowych – sprawowanych funkcji, wykorzystanych aktywów lub podjętego ryzyka, lecz skutkiem okoliczności zewnętrznych. Tego typu czynniki zewnętrzne mogą obejmować szybko postępujące zakłócenia w równowadze podaży i popytu w przypadku niektórych towarów lub usług, takich jak na przykład oprogramowanie czy zasoby energetyczne. Jednakże niektóre siły zewnętrzne nie są związane z etapem cyklu gospodarczego – między innymi siła rynkowa lub zaburzona konkurencja, tj. oligopol, monopol lub monopson na rynku. W tym artykule podnosimy, że zdolność niektórych sektorów gospodarki do uzyskiwania nadprogramowych zysków nie jest jedynie kwestią szczęścia ani nieprzewidywalnych zdarzeń. W rzeczywistości posiadanie pewnych ograniczonych zasobów lub sztucznie ograniczanych aktywów przesądza o zdolności do generowania nadwyżek (rezydualnych) zysków. Wskazujemy na podobieństwo pomiędzy zasobami naturalnymi generującymi renty ekonomiczne a aktywami z gatunku własności intelektualnej, których niedobór urzeczywistnia się dzięki rozwiniętemu systemowi ochrony praw własności intelektualnej (w szczególności patentowej), aby wykazać ich wspólną cechę jako aktywów generujących renty. Ponownie kwestionujemy słuszność koncepcji tworzenia wartości, argumentując, że nie uwzględnia ona poziomu konkurencji, siły i kontroli rynkowej oraz niedoborów na rynku, które stanowią główne czynniki pozwalające przedsiębiorstwom generować wysokie zyski. Wreszcie poddajemy w wątpliwość zasadność stosowania mainstreamowej koncepcji DEMPE dla celów alokacji zysków z wartości niematerialnych, ponieważ przypisuje ona zbyt dużą wagę stadium rozwoju wartości niematerialnych i prawnych. W myśl założenia, że ochrona praw własności intelektualnej może wywołać na rynku sztuczny niedobór produktów chronionych tymi prawami, co zaburza konkurencję i umożliwia właścicielom tych praw wypracowywanie większych zysków, jurysdykcja rynkowa powinna mieć prawo do udziału w zysku rezydualnym, ponieważ za jej sprawą reżim ochrony własności intelektualnej może funkcjonować.
Filar pierwszy: jest porozumienie! Kto na nim skorzysta?
Authors: Mirembe, LL.M. Ruth
Published: March 2024

Po wielu latach prób znalezienia wielostronnych rozwiązań wyzwań związanych z cyfryzacją gospodarki, OECD przedstawiła w 2019 r. propozycję Filaru I. Projekt ten przenosi prawa podatkowe do jurysdykcji rynkowych w oparciu o jednolitą metodę. Propozycja jest wynikiem negocjacji między krajami, przy udziale organizacji międzynarodowych i przedsiębiorstw wielonarodowych. Jak w przypadku każdej umowy, istnieją zyski i straty – tyle że w tym przypadku skutki dotyczą również podmiotów, które nie są stronami umowy (wśród nich podatników). W artykule autorka omawia umowę w ramach pierwszego filaru, analizując potencjalne korzyści i straty dla państw oraz podatników.
Klauzula ogólna przeciwdziałająca unikaniu opodatkowania w orzecznictwie czeskim
Authors: Czudek Damian
Published: March 2024

Klauzula ogólna przeciwdziałająca unikaniu opodatkowania jest powszechnie stosowana przez administracje podatkowe na całym świecie i ma pełnić rolę hamulca bezpieczeństwa w razie podejmowania przez podatnika działań, które formalnie są spójne z literą prawa, lecz pozostają sprzeczne z jego celem. Artykuł 6 dyrektywy Rady (UE) 2016/1164 z dnia 12 lipca 2016 r. ustanawiającej przepisy mające na celu przeciwdziałanie praktykom unikania opodatkowania, które mają bezpośredni wpływ na funkcjonowanie rynku wewnętrznego, z późniejszymi zmianami, nakłada na państwa członkowskie Unii Europejskiej obowiązek wprowadzenia w życie klauzuli ogólnej przeciwdziałającej unikaniu opodatkowania podatkiem dochodowym od osób prawnych. Jednakże każdy kraj spełnia ten obowiązek inaczej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest nie tylko zapoznanie czytelnika z podejściem prezentowanym przez prawodawcę czeskiego, ale także nakreślenie zmian w stosowaniu tej zasady w czeskim prawie podatkowym.

Science Learning in the Context of 'Indigenous Knowledge' for Sustainable Development
Authors: Yazidi Rachid El , Rijal Khaerul
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the integration of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) into science education as a means to foster sustainable development among high school students. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, involving semi-structured interviews with 20 participants in Morocco, the research explores the impact of IK on enhancing students' understanding of local ecosystems, promoting interest in interdisciplinary studies, and contributing to cognitive and personal growth towards sustainable thinking. Findings indicate that incorporating IK into science curricula significantly enriches students' learning experiences by bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and scientific inquiry, thus making science education more relevant and engaging. This approach not only deepens students' appreciation for cultural diversity and environmental stewardship but also encourages a more holistic understanding of science and its application to global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity conservation. The study highlights the educational value of integrating IK in developing thinking and problem-solving skills, and a sense of global citizenship among students. It advocates for educational reforms that include IK as a vital component of science learning, suggesting that such integration can play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development goals by preparing students to engage thoughtfully with complex environmental and societal issues. This research contributes to the discourse on enhancing science education through the inclusion of diverse knowledge systems, offering insights into how such pedagogical innovations can support more sustainable and inclusive futures.

Authors:   Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russian Federation, SOLOVYANENKO N.I.
Published: March 2024

The purpose of the study. The article examines the issues of improving the quality of the regulatory environment of the digital economy from the perspective of the implementation and protection of the rights of subjects of economic relations. The article analyzes the interdependence between digitalization and legal processes, which generates both new legal and technological opportunities, as well as related problems and barriers that complicate the exercise and protection of the rights and interests of subjects in a digital environment and pose challenges to legal science to overcome them. The purpose of the study is to identify legal structures and legal means that contribute to the elimination of obstacles and the creation of a comfortable regulatory environment for the digital economy. Conclusions. The author, as a result of the analysis of legal approaches and structures peculiar to digital turnover, comes to the conclusion that a reliable and comfortable legal environment for online interaction is a legal «space of trust», including the responsibility of its participants for the adverse consequences that may occur if they fail to fulfill their duties related to such interaction. Among the components of a comfortable regulatory environment of the digital economy, a special place is occupied by: digital (online) dispute resolution procedures, including the use of automated solutions using smart contracts, digital platforms in the field of protecting the rights and legitimate interests of subjects of economic relations; the use of high technologies in notarial activities. The author draws attention to one of the most acute problems of the digital age-the growing digital divide, the overcoming of which is directly related to improving the quality of the regulatory environment of the digital economy.

Published: March 2024

O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar como a prática do judô pode auxiliar na flexibilidade em estudantes de uma escola pública de Montes Claros-MG pertencentes ao projeto ¨Lutas na escola¨do PIBID. Trata de uma pesquisa semi-experimental com presença de um grupo de intervenção e um grupo controle, com pré e pós-teste A amostra foi composta por 60 alunos do sexo masculino e feminino. O instrumento utilizado foi o método linear utilizado para avaliação da flexibilidade através do teste sentar-e-alcançar proposto por Wells e Dillon em 1952. Como instrumento foi utilizado um banco de madeira que mede 35 cm de altura e largura, 40 cm de comprimento com uma régua padrão na parte superior ultrapassando em 15 cm a superfí­cie de apoio dos pés. Os dados enquadraram nos critérios de homogeneização dos dados a partir do teste de Kolmorov Smirnof. Para comparação entre pré e pos-testes foi utilizado o teste T pareado e para comparação entre os grupos investigados foi utilizado o teste t de student. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que houve ganho estatisticamente significativo de flexibilidade entre o pré e pós-teste somente no grupo que praticava o judô. Na comparação entre os grupos foi verificado que o grupo de praticantes apresentou médias de valores de flexibilidades estatisticamente superiores ao grupo controle no pós-teste. Conclui-se que o perí­odo de prática de Judô de três meses, num total de 24 sessões se mostrou suficiente para apresentar ganhos significativos de flexibilidade para praticantes nessa faixa etária.

COMPREENSÃO LEITORA DE TEXTOS NARRATIVOS LITERÁRIOS NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: Dos Santos Letícia Martins , Moura Patrícia dos Santos
Published: March 2024

Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar a compreensão de textos narrativos literários em crianças de três a quatro anos de idade em práticas escolares de letramento. A motivação para a elaboração deste trabalho deu-se a partir das minhas vivências no subprojeto Pibid Pedagogia (Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência) – área Letramento e Educação Infantil, que é realizado em três escolas municipais desta etapa da Educação Básica, na cidade de Jaguarão. Realizo minhas intervenções em uma turma de Pré I, com crianças de três a quatro anos. A metodologia deste trabalho é de inspiração etnográfica, a partir dos estudos de Graue e Walsh (2003) sobre abordagens investigativas qualitativas, as quais os autores preferem caracterizar como interpretativas. Durante o processo investigativo, foram realizadas sessões de leitura coletivas e individuais, sendo estas últimas analisadas mais especificamente. A partir dessa pesquisa, percebi que a aproximação da literatura à escola de Educação Infantil promove aprendizagens diversas acerca da leitura, como ampliação de vocabulário, reconhecimento e uso de entonação própria de textos literários, compreensão da estrutura de enredos das histórias e formação de comportamentos leitores em crianças que ainda não leem convencionalmente.

A proposta do estudo, cujo tema é a educação escolar em espaços de privação de liberdade, mais especificamente em Unidades Socioeducativas, se dá no sentido de investigar, por meio de pesquisa teórica (bibliográfica e documental), como estão dispostas as oportunidades educativas oferecidas aos adolescentes em conflito com a lei, em situação de privação de liberdade no Brasil, entendendo que a proposta socioeducativa, contida no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente – ECA e no Sistema Nacional Socioeducativo - SINASE, deve pautar-se na garantia de direitos sociais, mesmo í queles em que o direito à liberdade foi negado, sendo capaz de promover o desenvolvimento e aprimoramento profissional para o exercí­cio da cidadania e emancipação humana. A amplitude das demandas que estão postas hoje às escolas, e consequentemente aos professores, que desenvolvem suas atividades sem algumas condições objetivas (capacitação, segurança, estrutura fí­sica, recursos didáticos e pedagógicos), não favorecem a permanência dos profissionais e a manutenção das atividades, resultando na ineficácia da educação escolar em ambientes de cárcere e, diante das dificuldades vivenciadas cotidianamente, a prática socioeducativa destinada a adolescentes privados de liberdade na Unidade Socioeducativa não cumpre seu papel social na direção de ressignificar valores que promovam o acesso a direitos e à superação da condição de exclusão.

O presente artigo tem por finalidade discutir o brincar numa perspectiva que supera o discurso do direito da criança, firmado em documentos nacionais e internacionais. Compreendendo a brincadeira e o jogo enquanto constituintes do ser humano e dinâmica que demarca a especificidade da infância, analisamos o brincar como um aspecto da dignidade humana e, portanto, anterior ao direito. Contudo, amparadas na produção teórico-cientí­fica da área, consideramos a criança historicamente situada e, portanto, sujeito de direitos em cuja infância, enquanto categoria social que traduz as contradições da organização social, se constitui. Propomos a liberdade e a atenção aos aspectos inerentes ao brincar – os sujeitos, os tempos e espaços, as necessidades das crianças – como mecanismos de superação de um discurso sobre a importância do brincar com vistas à garantia deste aspecto tão relevante na constituição da criança. Por fim, demarcamos a necessidade de um olhar mais significativo para o brincar em seus aspectos constituintes, considerando a criança, em suas interações sociais, como sujeito capaz de realizar experiências significativas, por meio do movimento. Para tanto, é fundamental proporcionar espaços e tempos de brincar que ultrapassem os muros da escola, oferecendo às crianças as possibilidades de interação que contribuam para a constituição da criança enquanto ser humano, com o pleno desenvolvimento de suas potencialidades.

Osseointegrated transfemoral prostheses experience aseptic complications with an incidence between 3% and 30%. The main aseptic risks are implant loosening, adverse bone remodeling, and post-operative periprosthetic fractures. Implant loosening can either be due to a lack of initial (primary) stability of the implant, which hinders bone ingrowth and therefore prevents secondary stability, or, in the long-term, to the progressive resorption of the periprosthetic bone. Post-operative periprosthetic fractures are most often caused by stress concentrations. A method to simultaneously evaluate the primary stability and the load transfer is currently missing. Furthermore, the measurement errors are seldom reported in the literature. In this study a method to reliably quantify the bone implant interaction of osseointegrated transfemoral prostheses in terms of primary stability and load transfer was developed, and its precision was quantified. Micromotions between the prosthesis and the host bone and the strains on the cortical bone were measured on five human cadaveric femurs with a typical commercial osseointegrated implant. To detect the primary stability of the implant and the load transfer, cyclic loads were applied, simulating the peak load during gait. Digital Image Correlation was used to measure displacements and bone strains simultaneously throughout the test. Permanent migrations and inducible micromotions were measured (three translations and three rotations), while, on the same specimen, the full-field strain distribution on the bone surface was measured. The repeatability tests showed that the devised method had an intra-specimen variability smaller than 6 μm for the translation, 0.02 degrees for the rotations, and smaller than 60 microstrain for the strain distribution. The inter-specimen variability was larger than the intra-specimen variability due to the natural differences between femurs. Altogether, the measurement uncertainties (intrinsic measurement errors, intra-specimen repeatability and inter-specimen variability) were smaller than critical levels of biomarkers for adverse remodelling and aseptic loosening, thus allowing to discriminate between stable and unstable implants, and to detect critical strain magnitudes in the host bone. In conclusion, this work showed that it is possible to measure the primary stability and the load transfer of an osseointegrated transfemoral prosthesis in a reliable way using a combination of mechanical testing and DIC.

Authors: Cao Yan , Taghvaie Nakhjiri Ali , Ghadiri Mahdi
Published: March 2024

Over the last decades, porous organic materials (POMs) have been extensively employed in various industrial approaches including gas separation, catalysis and energy production due to possessing indisputable advantages like great surface area, high permeability, controllable pore size, appropriate functionalization and excellent processability compared to traditional substances like zeolites, Alumina and polymers. This review presents the recent breakthroughs in the multifunctional POMs for potential use in the membrane-based CO2 separation. Some examples of highly-selective membranes using multifunctional POMs are described. Moreover, various classifications of POMs following with their advantages and disadvantages in CO2 separation processes are explained. Apart from reviewing the state-of-the-art POMs in CO2 separation, the challenges/limitations of POMs with tailored structures for reasonable application are discussed.

Background

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for COVID-19, has caused nearly 7 million deaths worldwide. Severe cases are marked by an aggressive inflammatory response known as hypercytokinemia, contributing to endothelial damage. Although vaccination has reduced hospitalizations, hypercytokinemia persists in breakthrough infections, emphasizing the need for disease models mimicking this response. Using a 3D microphysiological system (MPS), we explored the vascular role in SARS-CoV-2-induced hypercytokinemia.

Methods

The vascularized micro-organ (VMO) MPS, consisting of human-derived primary endothelial cells (ECs) and stromal cells within an extracellular matrix, was used to model SARS-CoV-2 infection. A non-replicative pseudotyped virus fused to GFP was employed, allowing visualization of viral entry into human ECs under physiologic flow conditions. Expression of ACE2, TMPRSS2, and AGTR1 was analyzed, and the impact of viral infection on ACE2 expression, vascular inflammation, and vascular morphology was assessed.

Results

The VMO platform facilitated the study of COVID-19 vasculature infection, revealing that ACE2 expression increased significantly in direct response to shear stress, thereby enhancing susceptibility to infection by pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2. Infected ECs secreted pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6 along with coagulation factors. Cytokines released by infected cells were able to activate downstream, non-infected EC, providing an amplification mechanism for inflammation and coagulopathy.

Discussion

Our findings highlight the crucial role of vasculature in COVID-19 pathogenesis, emphasizing the significance of flow-induced ACE2 expression and subsequent inflammatory responses. The VMO provides a valuable tool for studying SARS-CoV-2 infection dynamics and evaluating potential therapeutics.

Background

Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) has emerged as a prominent public health concern. Hypertensive patients are prone to develop comorbidities. Moreover, the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue is the main cause for the development of cardiometabolic diseases. The cardiometabolic index (CMI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) not only assess adipose tissue mass but also reflect adipose tissue dysfunction. So far, no study has been reported to evaluate the association of CMI, LAP, VAI, and CVAI with CMM risk in hypertensive patients. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the association between these adiposity indicators and the risk of CMM among Chinese hypertensive patients.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, a total of 229,287 hypertensive patients aged 35 years and older were included from the National Basic Public Health Service Project. All participants underwent a face-to-face questionnaire survey, physical examination, and the collection of fasting venous blood samples. Multivariable logistic regression models were performed to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Receiver operating characteristic curve was utilized to evaluate the identification ability for CMM.

Results

After adjusting for confounders, each 1-standard deviation increase in CMI, LAP, VAI, and CVAI was associated with a 14%, 8%, 12%, and 54% increased risk of CMM, respectively. When comparing the highest quartile of these indicators with the lowest quartile, individuals in the highest quartile of CMM, LAP, VAI, and CVAI had a 1.39-fold (95% CI 1.30, 1.48), 1.28-fold (95% CI 1.19, 1.37), 1.37-fold (95% CI 1.29, 1.46), and 2.56-fold (95% CI 2.34, 2.79) increased risk of CMM after adjusting for potential confounders. Notably, a nonlinear association was observed for CMI, LAP, and VAI with the risk of CMM (all P nonlinearity < 0.001). CVAI exhibited the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) among all the included adiposity indices in this analysis.

Conclusion

This study indicated the significant positive association of CMI, LAP, VAI, and CVAI with the risk of CMM in hypertensive patients. Among these indicators, CVAI demonstrated the most robust performance in predicting CMM risk and may serve as a valuable tool for identifying CMM risk in Chinese hypertensive patients.
