Selection within working memory impairs perceptual detection
Authors: Macedo-Pascual Joaquín , Capilla Almudena , Campo Pablo , Hinojosa José Antonio , Poch Claudia
Published: January 2023

There is broad consensus supporting the reciprocal influence of working memory (WM) and attention. Top-down mechanisms operate to cope with either environmental or internal demands. In that sense, it is possible to select an item within the contents of WM to endow it with prioritized access. Although evidence supports that maintaining an item in this privileged state does not rely on sustained visual attention, it is unknown whether selection within WM depends on perceptual attention. To answer this question, we recorded electrophysiological neural activity while participants performed a retro-cue task in which we inserted a detection task in the delay period after retro-cue presentation. Critically, the onset of to-be-detected near threshold stimuli was unpredictable, and thus, sustained perceptual spatial attention was needed to accomplish the detection task from the offset of the retro-cue. At a behavioral level, we found decreased visual detection when a WM representation was retro-cued. At a neural level, alpha oscillatory activity confirmed a spatial shift of attention to the retro-cued representation. We interpret the convergence of neural oscillations and behavioral data to point towards the theory that selection within WM could be accomplished through a perceptual attentional mechanism.

Authors: Spils Julian , Wirth Thomas , Nachtsheim Boris J
Published: January 2023

We describe a multi-step continuous-flow procedure for the generation of six-membered diaryliodonium salts. The accompanying scalability and atom economy are significant improvements to existing batch methods. Benzyl acetates are submitted to this two-step procedure as highly available and cheap starting materials. An acid-catalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation followed by an anodic oxidative cyclization yielded a defined set of cyclic iodonium salts in a highly substrate-dependent yield.

Authors: KARTAL Mert , BAYRAKTAR Muhammet
Published: January 2023

Aim: We aimed to determine the perceived stress and hopelessness levels in COVID-19 patient contacts.Materials and Methods: The study included all COVID-19 contacts who presented to a family health center in Niğde, Turkey between August and October 2020. The data were collected from contacts who were reached daily for a period of 14 days using the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The data were analyzed using the SPSS package program, and p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: While 55.8% of the participants were female, 71% were married, and 46.9% had a chronic disease. The mean age of the participants was 53.44 years. Their mean BHS and PSS scores were 4.40±3.33 and 25.07±5.98, respectively. A statistically significant relationship was found between the participants’ places of residence and occupations and their mean BHS loss of motivation subscale scores (p<0.05). Among the participants, homemakers, those living in districts, towns, or villages, and those with chronic diseases had significantly higher PSS total scale and.stress-distress subscale mean scores than the others. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the ages of the participants and their PSS total scale and stress-distress subscale scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although the hopelessness levels of the participants were found low, their stress levels were determined to be high, and most of them thought the pandemic was exaggerated. Due to the psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic such as shock, denial, anxiety, worry, and stress in people, it is important to strengthen crisis and stress management efforts and increase awareness, coping and social support resources by prioritizing high-risk groups such as healthcare workers, women, the elderly, those with chronic diseases, and COVID-19 contacts.

In order to, achieve the aim, this research was analyzed using the secondary data, the workplace panel survey data. Production optimization activities and IT investment had a significant positive effect on both sales and net profit. On the other hand, significant results could not be confirmed for the moderating effect according to the difference in communication activity types. It was suggested that standardization, simplification, and automation of the production process are needed simultaneously as practical measures to improve production efficiency and financial performance, and that continuous investment in the IT field is needed.
The impact of Corporate Social Responsibility and Internal Control on Tax Avoidance
Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Sim Jae Woo
Published: January 2023

This paper studied the effects of Social Responsibility and Internal Control on Tax Avoidance. The study period is from 2014 to 2020, and the total number of samples is 3,881. The variables were tax avoidance, internal control variables, and social responsibility grade. The results of the study are as follows. First, I found that social responsibility has a positive effect on tax avoidance tendency. Second, this results showed that the average number of people in charge of internal control accounting has a negative effect on tax avoidance tendency, which means that if the average number of people increases, tax avoidance tendency can be suppressed. In addition, the number of accountants in charge of internal control accounting has a negative effect on tax avoidance tendency. However, it was confirmed that the average number of months of work among internal control accounting officers did not significantly affect tax avoidance tendency. Third, I also analyzed that the interaction effect between the average number of people in charge of internal control accounting and social responsibility has a negative effect on tax avoidance tendency, and the interaction effect between the number of accountants in charge of internal control accounting and social responsibility has a negative effect on tax avoidance tendency. However, the interaction effect between the average number of months of work in charge of internal control accounting and social responsibility has a positive effect on tax avoidance tendency. This study was conducted by expanding previous studies in consideration of both social responsibility and internal control system, and as a result of the study, it can be confirmed that the effects of social responsibility and internal control system on tax avoidance are contradictory. Through this, it is expected to present guidelines to corporate managers in establishing internal controls, designing, and ESG management.
The Effect of the Number of Due Diligence on Inventories on Restraining Earnings Management
Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Hue Kwang Bok , Lee Dong Heun , Hong Jun Yeung
Published: January 2023

This study investigates whether the number of due diligence about inventories on the external audit implementation details recorded since 2014 has information effect to restrain earnings management. Earnings management using inventories is based on a measure derived from real earnings management related abnormal inventories change introduced on Roychowdhury(2006) and earnings management using allowance for overvaluation of inventories introduced on Guidry et al.(1999). By using Korean firms listed on KOSPI from 2014 to 2017, this study analyses the effect of due diligence about inventories on earnings management using inventories and verifies the impact of the attendance inspection on the suppression of earnings management using regression analysis.
Followings are the findings of this study. First, the number of due diligence about inventories is negatively correlated with real earnings management related abnormal inventories change, a proxy for earnings management using inventories. Second, the effect of restraining earnings management in the number of the attendance inspection shows that it serves as an audit quality when the number is more than three days compared to less than three days.
The contribution of this study is as follow. This study finds a significant relationship between due diligence about inventories on the external audit implementation details and audit quality that restrains earnings management using inventories. This study os contributing to the expansion of research on earnings management by presenting empirical evidence of the impact of external auditing disclosure on earnings management as a proxy the quality of accounting information. Moreover, the number of the attendance inspection is effective as a proxy for audit quality, indicating that such detailed disclosure has an institutional effecting on improving audit quality. Therefore, it seems to be meaningful that this study has policy implications by providing a basis for judgment of decision making and policy making related to the disclosure of the external audit implementation details.
BIM-BASED PROTOTYPE OF A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF CONSTRUCTION PLANNING
Authors: Kontrimovičius Robertas , Ustinovichius Leonas
Published: January 2023

This article tackles the problem of rational and effective planning of the entire construction site, including the planning of mechanisms, equipment, warehouse space, temporary buildings, temporary engineering networks, etc. The authors propose the principles of creating a mathematical model to calculate the needs of construction objects, using the photogrammetry model. The problems raised can be solved with the use of BIM in the preparation for construction planning stage. The prototype mathematical model presented in this article addresses these issues: identify current situation, using photogrammetry model, define optimal number and location of construction site objects, avoid conflicts between cranes, detect possible hoisting problem, avoid overload of cranes, and of course construction site planning. Therefore, it becomes possible to perform a multicriteria decision-making analysis. Extensive analysis in the pre-construction stage is often abandoned due to the lack of data on the current situation, difficult calculations of the need for mechanisms, equipment and simply due to the lack of time to analyze all possible rational solutions. The data received from the created mathematical prototype could also be used in further construction stages for planning human and material resources, the project schedule and cost estimate.
Evidence for Enrichment of Niobium-92 in the Outer Protosolar Disk
Authors: Hibiya Yuki , Iizuka Tsuyoshi , Enomoto Hatsuki , Hayakawa Takehito
Published: January 2023

The short-lived radionuclide, niobium-92 (92Nb), has been used to estimate the site of nucleosynthesis for p-nuclei and the timing of planetary differentiation, assuming that it was uniformly distributed in the early solar system. Here, we present the internal niobium–zirconium (Nb–Zr) isochron dating of Northwest Africa (NWA) 6704, an achondrite thought to form in the outer protosolar disk due to nucleosynthetic isotope similarities with carbonaceous chondrites. The isochron defines an initial 92Nb/93Nb ratio of (2.72 ± 0.25) × 10−5 at the NWA 6704 formation, 4562.76 ± 0.30 million years ago. This corresponds to a 92Nb/93Nb ratio of (2.96 ± 0.27) × 10−5 at the time of solar system formation, which is ∼80% higher than the values obtained from meteorites formed in the inner disk. The results suggest that a significant proportion of the solar 92Nb was produced by a nearby core-collapse supernova (CCSN) and that the outer disk was more enriched in CCSN ejecta, which could account for the heterogeneity of short-lived 26Al and nucleosynthetic stable-isotope anomalies across the disk. We propose that NWA 6704 serves as the best anchor for mapping relative Nb–Zr ages of objects in the outer solar system onto the absolute timescale.
The range-wide mitochondrial lineage of Natrix natrix scutata (Pallas, 1771) presented in the northern Zagros Mountains
Authors: Jablonski Daniel , Asztalos Marika , Yılmaz Can , Avcı Aziz
Published: January 2023

Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758) is a common species distributed from Central Europe to Central Asia. In this range, it forms four subspecies that include several mitochondrial evolutionary lineages. One of the lineages, the so-called mtDNA lineage 8, has a wide distribution from the Baltic area to Anatolia and Kazakhstan. In Anatolia, this lineage meets several others, however, their occurrence is unclear, especially in the south-eastern Türkiye where the species is uncommon. Obtaining one specimen from the poorly studied Hakkâri Province (Zagros part of Türkiye), we investigated its genetic affiliation (mitochondrial DNA) and basic morphology. The specimen represents a unique haplotype of the mtDNA lineage 8, closely related to populations from Georgia and northern and north-eastern Türkiye. It thus extends the occurrence of this mitochondrial lineage representing subspecies Natrix natrix scutata (Pallas, 1771) southward to the northern edge of the Zagros Mountains. Despite the phenotype polymorphism of this species, the morphological comparison also confirmed that selected characters are similar to other populations of the region.
Sé Amable
Authors: Jones-Schenk Jan
Published: January 2023

The blistering political and social climate is nothing new, but the ubiquitous hammering of negativity is ever more present in social media, print, radio, and television, and even in daily interactions. As we try to navigate difficult professional and personal challenges, discovering ways of personal renewal is ever more essential. Being kind (sé amable) is often thought of as an external engagement. Kindness to oneself is more elusive and less discussed. Self-kindness is a fundamental part of self-compassion and is a proven method to rediscover personal peace.

Tiredness Takes Its Toll: An Integrative Review on Sleep and Occupational Outcomes for Long-Term Care Workers
Authors: Keller Elizabeth , Hittle Beverly M. , Smith Carolyn R.
Published: January 2023

Poor sleep quality and duration among health care professionals have negative impacts on worker safety, work readiness, and well-being. However, the consequences of impaired sleep among long-term care (LTC) workers remain understudied. The current integrative review sought to explore associations between sleep and occupational outcomes in LTC workers. Multiple database searches yielded 1,543 articles; nine articles met inclusion criteria. Results synthesized from included articles revealed sleep-associated occupational outcomes across three themes,
Burnout/Fatigue
,
Mental and Physical Health
, and
Well-Being
, which may affect performance measures and predict injuries/errors. Exploring outcomes of poor sleep quality and duration among LTC workers has highlighted the needs of this population and may inform future intervention development. LTC organizations should consider implementing strategies to better support the sleep quality of their workforce. In addition, further research is needed to explore how impaired sleep contributes to negative worker outcomes and patient care quality. [

Published: January 2023

In 2001, we collected whole blood from sea ducks—Steller's eider Polysticta stelleri, harlequin duck Histrionicus histrionicus, black scoter Melanitta nigra, and long-tailed duck Clangula hyemalis—wintering at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and from Steller's eiders molting at Izembek Lagoon on the Alaska Peninsula. Analysis of blood samples was done for 19 trace elements, of which 17 were detected in one or more samples. In Steller's eiders, mean concentrations of six trace elements (As, B, Fe, Hg, Se, and Mo) were greater at Dutch Harbor and mean concentrations of four trace elements (Cr, Cu, Mg, and Zn) were greater at Izembek Lagoon. Among sea ducks at Dutch Harbor, mean concentrations of five trace elements (Cu, Hg, Se, Zn, and V) differed by species: Steller's eiders had greater concentrations of Cu, Zn, and V in their blood; black scoters had the highest concentration of Se; and harlequin ducks had the highest Hg level, with a mean concentration slightly above a threshold effect level. One Steller's eider and one harlequin duck from Dutch Harbor had blood Pb levels above background concentrations. We have no observations to indicate that concentrations of these trace elements were associated with adverse effects.

Modelling of an Automatic Gearbox Using AUTOSAR Standard
Authors: Greiner Cristian-Victor , Avram Camelia , Astilean Adina
Published: January 2023

This paper presents the advantages of modelling an application destined for automotive using automotive standard architecture (AUTOSAR). This standard is structured in layers and is trying to make the software application independent from the microcontroller unit (MCU) specifications. By structuring an application in this way, it reduces the time and the cost of developing new ones for a different microcontroller or for creating new applications with a similar purpose for the same microcontroller. Also, the diagnosis for the errors is improved a lot, because it provides mechanisms to detect them, and, having a very structured form, it is easy to find them in comparison with the older procedures used for the soft-ware development that are different from one producer to another. This standard architecture helps to get better results in software development and embedded systems for the automotive area. Here is presented a primitive implementation for an electric automatic gearbox that can be developed more when new features are required.

Published: January 2023

In this chapter, the authors begin by describing the experiences of one family with the school-to-prison pipeline, seeking to elucidate its causes and illustrate its damaging effects on real people. Next, they analyze the success of two dropout recovery programs that are dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline. They identify and describe five key qualities that explain the success of these programs, including: a casual, family-like atmosphere with a close-knit community; creative responses to chronic absenteeism; extreme patience and flexibility in the classroom; innovative programs that hook student interest and provide a means for students to heal from past trauma; and wrap-around services, including heavy advising, for all students. Finally, the authors share their theory of pedagogical and institutional plasticity, an overarching philosophy and practice that provides a framework for creating safe, trauma free schools that serve all youth with spaces of healing and empowerment.

Authors: Trauth Jon N. , Harris Karleah , Jackson Nikkita
Published: January 2023

Trauma-informed care has been considered for high schools since 2010. Both teachers and support staff realize that it is important to make sure to meet students' basic needs for any learning to occur. This information rings true for all college students, especially since the pandemic. The trauma-informed care model has been presented to faculty and staff at Central State University to engage them and allow them to learn new strategies that will help them work with a traumatized student population. This chapter addresses how the model of trauma-informed care training on the website starr.org will help students to complete their college courses more effectively. The small mid-western college in the United States pulls from a few models that were used at the lighthouse community school and the St Leo Burundi refugee resettlement programs. School challenges can be from, according to previous research, being bored with school programs, missing too many days, and being unable to catch up. The chapter will consider how these issues can be combated using the TIC model.

Increasing Readiness for Cultural Responsiveness and Trauma-Informed Practice
Authors: Knox Jerica , Alvarez Adam , Golden Alexandrea , Hope Elan C.
Published: January 2023

For years, the most prominent approaches to addressing youth trauma have been heavily influenced by whiteness and hegemonic systems of dominance. Rather than universal designs meant to address the needs of “all” children, it is imperative that trauma-informed practices be more culturally responsive. A major challenge, however, is that educators may be at various starting places when it comes to understanding and enacting culturally responsive practices that are also trauma-informed. In short, educators need learning opportunities that can increase their level of readiness—their attitudes and self-reported beliefs about their capacity—to implement culturally responsive, trauma-informed practices. The chapter has two overarching goals: (1) to contextualize trauma-informed practices within a culturally responsive framework and (2) to provide practical strategies and insights for promoting educators' readiness to engage in culturally responsive, trauma-informed professional learning.

Cloud computing developed the world rapidly, so in our lifetimes, other cloud services are entered, and the security protection in our cloud services, particularly the protection against data sequestration, is gaining importance. Still, the protection separation implementation causes a huge drain. Therefore, it is difficult to implement the most appropriate product to reduce consumption power while protecting separation. The proposal proposes a full-scale sequestration scheme (PPPS) to provide usable sequestration protection that satisfies stone sequestration requirements while system performance can be maintained. First, the separation is unidentified by the drugs they carry, and they quantify the degree of security and perform the TripleDES standard and AES standard encrypts algorithms. The safety formulation is also derived from analysis results and professional data. Finally, similar results display that PPPS also meets the request sequestration from stones and maintains the performance in various cloud environments.

The data protection mechanism in cloud storage systems is based on two-way factored inversion. With the authors' solution, users can store encrypted communications in the cloud and distribute them to their intended recipients. There is no requirement for the sender to have any other information (public key, certificate, etc.) except from the name of the receiver. There are two things the decoder needs in order to decipher the ciphertext. Your computer's private key is the first. The second is a one-of-a-kind computer-based security system for the individual. The ciphertext cannot be cracked without both keys. The loss or theft of your security device will also cause it to become inoperable. In other words, it can't be utilised to read encrypted messages. A cloud server is an option for this. The sender will not be aware of any of this activity. In the same vein, cloud server reads encrypted Chrome content. The system's practicability is supported by analyses of its safety and efficiency.
Adapting Multi-Temporal Information for Optimized Ship Detection From SAR Image Dataset Using Transfer Learning Application

Published: January 2023

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can be reasonably mobile or area-based 2D high-resolution imaging radar. Unlike optical remote sensing, which can add bad climatic conditions and nights, SAR works day and night regardless of climatic conditions and can be used for military and civilian purposes. However, unlike natural images, SAR images duplicate the intensity of electromagnetic backscatter and require specialists to interpret the SAR images. In addition, finding interesting targets in huge human SAR images is tedious and very difficult, justifying the demand for low-cost automated SAR target recognition (ATR). Ways of supporting headed-oriented bounding boxes (OBB) have received progressive attention from researchers. However, most of the recently planned deep learning-based methods for OBB detection meet with the boundary separation downside in angle or aim for regression to attenuate this downside.

Published: January 2023

Object detection is a booming technology that is on par with computer vision and image processing in which an object of a specific type is detected in an image or video. Object detection consists of several approaches like Retina-Net, Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD), and Faster R-CNN. These approaches are used in object detection with limited data, but these approaches either run in two algorithms or has high execution time; to overcome these limitations, the authors have used the latest version of Yolo with the custom dataset of solid waste. In this algorithm, an image in the solid waste dataset, which was annotated, labelled, pre-processed, and segmented and a build version is created with the yolo model; this version can either be used directly in the code for online execution or downloaded in the local system for offline execution.

Published: January 2023

In the fields of drug discovery and development, machine learning techniques have been used for the development of novel drug candidates. The methods for designing drug targets and novel drug discovery now routinely combine machine learning algorithms such as regression and classification models to enhance the efficiency, efficacy, and quality of developed outputs. Applying machine learning model for drug discovery on different diseases that exists already, the author team fetched the datasets from the ChEMBL database that contain the bio-activity data, after preprocessing the data according to the bioactivity threshold in order to obtain a curated bio-activity data. Therefore, structural analogs of the drugs that bind to the target are selected as drug candidates. However, even though compounds are not structural analogs, they may achieve the desired response. A new drug discovery method based on drug response, which can complement the structure-based methods, is needed. Present manuscript is an effort for same.

Published: January 2023

Upon injury, inflammation and repair processes are orchestrated to maintain tissue homeostasis. The Wnt ligands play essential roles in cell differentiation and proliferation for tissue repair and regeneration. It is increasingly clear that Wnt ligands play crucial immune-modulatory roles in inflammatory diseases. It is predicted that comprehensive research regarding the cross-talk between nonimmune and immune cells in tissue injury and repair will flourish. The Wnt system and immune system interaction will be critical to understanding tissue injury, inflammation, and repair. In this study, we will first introduce the Wnt system and review the role of the Wnt system in tissue regeneration and repair. We will review the previous literature regarding how the Wnt ligands regulate the immune system. Next, we will discuss the current and future perspectives of Wnt ligands to target cancer and other immunological diseases. Finally, we will discuss the quintessential Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 as an immunomodulatory ligand.
