Open Access, Open Monographs, Open Data, Open Peer Review
Authors: Wells Ruth
Published: December 2023

Last year’s UKeiG professional development programme was a huge success attracting delegates from all sectors and disciplines of the library and information profession. UKeiG Chair David Ball’s workshop – “Open Access, Open Monographs, Open Data, Open Peer Review” – provided food for thought and a state-of-the-art overview of the complex issues around the open access, open science agenda. The preamble for the day stated: “The concept of Open Access to research outputs has been common currency for many years. The rapid growth of the Internet has made different publication models easily available. More recent thinking has expanded the concept of openness even further, to Open Science, which aims to transform science by making research more open, global, collaborative, creative and closer to society. This approach is being embraced by all academic disciplines. The shift is extremely important for the development and exploitation of research, and hence for the professionals who support it.” One of the delegates, Ruth Wells, New Product Development Manager for CABI, but then representing the academic journals and publishing service Veruscript, was inspired to blog about the day and we have included her observations in this issue.

There many factors that affects the physico-chemical features of plants, including, weather and climatic factors (lightintensity temperature, rainfall), pH, organic matter content, available nutrients etc. thus, the source of a plant plays a big role in its chemical and nutritive content. This study aimed to investigate the proximate composition, mineral, vitamins and antioxidant activities of Cymbopogoh citratus and Oregamun vulgare crude leave extracts (CCCLE and OVCLE), harvested in Zaramaganda, Jos, North-Central Nigeria. Fresh leaves of C. citratus and O. vulgare were harvested in Zaramaganda, Jos, North-Central Nigeria, prepared and extracted via cold water Soxhlet extraction. Chemical and nutritive composition of the two plant extracts were carried out by way of proximate analysis and atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) while antioxidant activity was determined by radical scavenging assay using DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-pierylhydrazyl) as an artificial free radical activity. Proximate analysis revealed varied proportions of the content in the investigated plants. The highest % by mass was; moisture content 7.33%, crude protein 16.25% and crude fibre 1.78% respectively in OVCLE while ash (12.54%) and fat (23.54%) content were highest in CCCLE. Mineral analysis revealed higher concentration of calcium, sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese, and iron in CCCLE than OVCLE in mg/100 g. Similarly, the vitamin A, C and E content were highest in CCCLE than OVCLE in mg/g. The inhibitory concentration at fifty percent (IC50) values on the effect of aqueous extracts of OVCLE and CCCLE on DPPH scavenging activity showed that CCCLE (IC50=131.8 µg/mL) had the higher activity than OV (IC50=154.1 µg/mL) as compared to the standard, Ascorbic Acid (IC50=49.13 µg/mL). The crude aqueous extract of C. citratus and O. vulgare harvested from Zaramaganda, Jos, North-Central Nigeria are good source of Vitamins (A, C and E), Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Zinc and little of Manganese and Iron, also with good moisture content, ash content, crude fibre, lipid content and crude fat values. Furthermore, both plants were moderate in reducing DPPH radical levels and thus suggested for cancer patients.
Relationship between CTGF levels and echocardiographic parameters in patients after permanent pacemaker implantation
Authors: Ivaneta Dimitrova Yoncheva  , Mariya Negrinova Negreva
Published: December 2023

Introduction: In recent decades, the dual-chamber pacemaker has become the gold standard for treating high-degree atrioventricular block. Despite the incredible benefits of overcoming conduction disorders, undeniable evidence has accumulated in recent years of negative effects of permanent right ventricular apical stimulation. The aim of our study was to examine the cytokines responsible for activation of the fibrotic process in patients after PPM implantation with apical right ventricular stimulation. Material and Methods: CTGF levels were investigated by enzyme-linked immunoassays in plasma from 45 patients (25 men, 20 women, aged 72.1±9 years) and 46 controls (24 men, 22 women, aged 71.9±8.7 years) without known cardiovascular diseases (except arterial hypertension, conduction disorder, indication for the procedure) at baseline (for patients immediately before PPM implantation), at 12 and 24 weeks. At the same visits echocardiography was performed. Results: There was no difference in baseline CTGF levels between patients and controls (312.66±15.25 vs 313.05±12.98 p>0.05). In patients, at week 12, CTGF levels were significantly increased compared to baseline in controls (627.74±41.81 vs 313.05±12.98 pg/ml p<0.001). At week 24, values continued to increase, being again significantly higher than baseline in controls (400.83±13.29 vs 313.05±12.98 pg/ml p<0.001). Conclusion: Our data analysis gives us reason to conclude that there is a significant increase in the levels of the growth factor after PPM implantation and it plays a major role in fibrotic remodeling of the myocardium. We guess increase in filling pressure of the left ventricle that is followed by LA pressure load and is a prerequisite for its dilatation.

O tratamento percutâneo da ruptura do tendão calcâneo tem sido amplamente empregado. Estudos biomecânicos permitem a análise da resistência das suturas e a reprodutibilidade clínica.

Nosso trabalho analisou, 36 tendões calcâneos bovinos, submetidos a reparo de ruptura produzida a 4cm da inserção e divididos em três grupos: simples sholeace(SS), Triplo Shoelace(TP) e Carmont & Mafulli(CM), avaliados biomecanicamente quanto: alongamento, rigidez, força máxima força e  tipo de falha do sistema.

Os resultados do alongamento,foram de 5,9mm no grupo1(SS), 3,0 mm para o grupo2(TS) e 3,8mm no grupo3(CM), significância estatística entre o grupo2  e os grupos1(p0,003767) e 3(p0,0005). Com relação a rigidez do sistema; grupo1 apresentou 23,2N/mm, grupo2 -30,3N/mm e grupo3 -28,6N/mm, significância estatística dos grupos2(p≈0) e 3(p0,0075) em relação grupo1. Os resultados de força máxima foram de 158,2N grupo1, 346,5N no grupo2 e146,1N para o grupo3, tendo significância estatística a entre o grupo 2 aos grupos 1(p≈0) e 3(p≈0). O tipo de falha na ruptura apresentou significância estatística entre todos os grupos analisados.

O aumento do número de fios de suturas diminuiu o alongamento e aumentou a rigidez do construto, significância estatística dos grupos2 e 3 sobre o grupo1. A sutura simétrica em ambos os cotos e maior número de passada no tendão são demonstrados pela maior resistência no grupo2 (346,5N) até a falha, corroborado  pela falha por arrancamento em todos os casos no grupo3.

Authors: Ingall Eitan Micah , Raduan Fernando , Kwon John Y.
Published: December 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this investigation is to present the follow-up results and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of a continuous series of surgically managed Lisfranc injuries whose constructs included a novel technique. Methods: Our billing database was retrospectively queried by Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes to identify all Lisfranc injuries managed operatively between 2018 and 2021. Basic demographic data were collected. Clinical notes and radiographs were reviewed. Patients were contacted prospectively to complete the Foot and Ankle Ability Measurement – Activities of Daily Living (FAAM-ADL), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Intensity, PROMIS Pain Interference, and PROMIS Depression surveys. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Results: Sixteen patients were included. While all patients underwent flexible fixation (FF), nine of them underwent concomitant open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and seven, concomitant primary arthrodesis. Median radiographic and PROMs follow-up time was 7.3 months (IQR 4.4–11.6) and 25.8 (IQR 9.5–32.4), respectively. All fusion patients had evidence of joint fusion, and 8/9 of ORIF patients maintained articular congruity without evidence of arthritis at final follow-up. Median PROMs were 85 (64.75–93.5), 53.1 (49.7–57.75), 45.7 (37.7–51.3), and 46 (43.3–52.28) for the FAAM-ADL, PROMIS Pain Interference, PROMIS Pain Intensity, and PROMIS Depression scores, respectively. Conclusion: The novel FF technique proposed for residual tarsometatarsal subluxation in Lisfranc injuries appears to be safe and effective, with good PROMs at two-year follow-up and low complication rates, obviating the need for hardware removal.

Makruhnya Mengungsi
Authors: Irawan Agus
Published: December 2023

Mengungsi, atau meninggalkan tempat tinggal akibat konflik atau bencana alam, seringkali dianggap sebagai tindakan yang mendesak dan terkadang tidak dapat dihindari. Namun, ada pandangan dalam konteks agama tertentu yang menyatakan bahwa mengungsi dapat menjadi perbuatan yang makruh atau tidak diinginkan. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi makruhnya mengungsi dalam perspektif agama, dengan fokus pada ajaran Islam. Dalam Islam, konsep hijrah (migrasi) memiliki makna penting, tetapi mengungsi dalam situasi tertentu dapat dianggap makruh. Beberapa ulama berpendapat bahwa meninggalkan tanah air tanpa kebutuhan yang jelas dapat merugikan masyarakat dan merusak solidaritas umat. Selain itu, ada kekhawatiran terhadap dampak psikologis dan sosial pada individu dan keluarga yang mengungsi. Artikel ini juga menggali pandangan yang memperhitungkan konteks kemanusiaan, di mana keadaan darurat sering memaksa orang untuk mengambil tindakan ekstrem. Meskipun ada kekhawatiran terhadap makruhnya mengungsi, keseimbangan antara tuntutan agama dan kebutuhan kemanusiaan dapat membuka ruang untuk interpretasi yang lebih luas dan memperhitungkan kondisi khusus. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan tentang kompleksitas etika mengungsi dalam konteks agama Islam, menyoroti perlunya dialog antara ajaran agama dan realitas kemanusiaan untuk membimbing keputusan individu dalam situasi yang penuh tekanan dan konflik.
Beyond Networks: Explaining Dynamics in the Natural and Social Sciences
Authors: Jaeger Johannes , DiFrisco James , Loettgers Andrea
Published: December 2023

Network models are one of the most popular and powerful tools for probing possible organizational principles in different areas of science. From their origin in graph theory and condensed-matter physics, they have spread across the life and social sciences. During this process of “template transfer,” models developed in one scientific context become adapted to new domains of application, while still retaining many of their original characteristics and limitations. One of these limitations is an excessive focus on static structure rather than dynamics. Even when network dynamics are considered, the focus mainly lies on linear analysis around steady states, and the structure of a model is usually treated as time-invariant. This severely limits the applicability of the network approach to systems whose properties depend on transient behavior and self-organizing, time-variant structure. Such processes are ubiquitous in important classes of complex systems, such as living organisms, ecosystems, neural and cognitive systems, social networks, and the economy. In other words, the space of possibilities of these natural and social systems is of a much higher dimension and complexity than that of the models we use to study them. Here, we examine several case studies to illustrate particular idealizations and limitations and their consequences. This helps us understand why such idealized approaches are successful initially, and suggests ways to go beyond the inevitable constraints that arise after a model template transfer to a new area of investigation.
Immersive Virtual Reality in Education for Sustainable Development: A Systematic Scoping Review
Authors: Saul Vanessa , Weinberg Lucas , Büssing Alexander Georg
Published: December 2023

Several studies have proven the efficacy of immersive virtual reality (IVR) in different subjects, yet further investigations are needed due to the role of contextual factors in learning. IVR may be particularly suitable for education for sustainable development (ESD) because ofthe possibility of allowing virtual nature experiences and fostering transformative learning. However, few studies have investigated the role of IVR in ESD. To advance knowledge and to identify research gaps in this field, we present the first scoping review on the usage of IVRin ESD using the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. To this end, we conducted a systematic literature analysis following a defined search string and making use of thedatabases Scopus and Web of Science. We identified seven articles in this upcoming field, touching on several sustainable development goals (SDGs). While various learning environments that touch on multiple SDGs have been implemented, the studies were mostly quantitative. In contrast to its role in ESD, the studies made little reference to the theory of transformative learning. Concerning learning outcomes, IVR showed positive effects on affective outcomes such as attitudes and emotions, but it also affected behavioral outcomes and knowledge. Besides assembling these findings, the present review concludes several implications and desiderata such as missing field studies from everyday classroom experiences. Overall, the review stimulates new research around IVR in ESD, which may be particularly important at the dawn of the metaverse.

How Growing Climate Concern Erodes Political Support
Authors: Menzner Jan , Schweizer David
Published: December 2023

Political support is an important foundation of system stability. We argue, increasing concerns about any issue can erode said support under two conditions: high issue salience and perceived government responsibility. We evaluate this argument using nine different concerns, focusing in-depth on the currently important issue of climate change. Applying random-effects-within-between models to German panel data from 2010 to 2021, we show that increases in all studied concerns are causally linked to declining democratic satisfaction. This addresses an important blind spot in existing research that focuses predominantly on economic concerns. For climate change concern, the main effect is clearly driven by the most recent waves, where it affects democratic satisfaction even stronger than material concern changes. For citizens with an arguably higher climate salience, stable Green partisans and post-materialists, the negative effect is amplified. We conclude that the climate crisis is increasingly putting pressure on the foundation of democratic systems.

Published: December 2023

Although inter-individual differences in narcissism are well studied, little is known about assessing narcissism at the within-person level. To fill this research gap, we investigated whether the narcissism construct is represented in the same way at the between- and within-person levels. We analyzed four established narcissism measures across multiple studies. In each of the studies, participants completed narcissism measures in ecological momentary assessment or daily diary studies. Equivalent construct representation across between- and within-person narcissism (i.e., cross-level measurement invariance) was found. State narcissism measures showed convergent validities for the trait narcissism scales. Moreover, we also found that antagonistic narcissism was most strongly related to within-person variability in narcissism. Our investigation sheds new light on the structure and assessment of narcissism on the within-person level by providing a comprehensive examination of its measurement.
The temporal economics of dietary decision-making: Evidence accumulation strategy shifts under drift-diffusion model
Authors: LiuMengying  , Jiang Jingyi , Wan Xiaoang , Huang Jianping
Published: December 2023

Time pressure and non-time-pressure lead to different patterns of dietary decision-making, often less optimal choices under time pressure. This research examined whether the differences in food decisions under time pressure were better explained by the dual-system model (DSM) or the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT) framework. The present study recruited 38 valid participants in a single-factor within-subject study, assessing food choices under both conditions of time pressure and non-time-pressure. Utilizing an incentive-compatible binary forced-choice task, we observed that time pressure notably diminished the consistency of food choices. Additionally, the analyses using Multivariate Linear Regression (MLR) for food choices and the multi-attribute Hierarchical Drift Diffusion Model (HDDM) suggested that the SAT framework, not the DSM, explained these observed inconsistencies. Specifically, the food choice model under time pressure had lower Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) compared to that without time pressure, yet there was no significant difference in the weight coefficients for health and tastiness. Furthermore, the parameter estimates of the best-fit HDDM indicated that time pressure led to a synchronous reduction in evidence accumulation for both health and tastiness attributes, increased evidence sampling noise, lowered decision thresholds, and shortened non-decision times. These findings provided multiple lines of evidence supporting the SAT framework for dietary decisions under time pressure. They demonstrated that time pressure resulted in parallel adjustments in various cognitive processes. This adaptation meets the demands for rapid response but comes at the expense of accuracy. These insights are important for understanding the patterns and internal process mechanisms of dietary decision-making under time pressure and lay a theoretical foundation for developing and implementing effective dietary intervention strategies
Consistent metacognitive efficiency and variable responses biases in peripheral vision

Across the visual periphery, perceptual and metacognitive abilities differ depending on the locus of visual attention, the location of peripheral stimulus presentation, the task design, and many other factors. In this investigation, we aimed to illuminate the relationship between attention and eccentricity in the visual periphery by estimating perceptual sensitivity, metacognitive sensitivity, and response biases across the visual field. In a 2AFC detection task, participants were asked to determine whether a signal was present or absent at one of eight peripheral locations (+/- 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°), using either a valid or invalid attentional cue. As expected, results revealed that perceptual sensitivity declined with eccentricity and was modulated by attention, with higher sensitivity on validly cued trials. Further, a significant main effect of eccentricity on response bias emerged, with variable (but relatively unbiased) c’a values from 10° to 30°, and conservative c’a values at 40°. Regarding metacognitive sensitivity, significant main effects of attention and eccentricity were found, with metacognitive sensitivity decreasing with eccentricity, and decreasing in the invalid cue condition. Interestingly, metacognitive efficiency, as measured by the ratio of meta-d’a/d’a, was not modulated by attention or eccentricity. Overall, these findings demonstrate (1) that in some circumstances, observers have surprisingly robust metacognitive insights into how performance changes across the visual field, and (2) that the periphery may be subject to variable detection biases that are contingent on the exact location in peripheral space.

Using data from the Adolescent Behavior and Cognitive Development study, we investigate whether neural, cognitive, and psychopathology phenotypes that are more strongly related to genetic differences are less strongly associated with family- and state-level economic contexts (N = 5,374 individuals with 1KG-EUR-like genotypes, plus 870 twins). We estimated the twin- and SNP-based heritability of each phenotype, as well as its association with an educational attainment polygenic index (EA PGI). We further examined associations with family socioeconomic status (SES) and tested whether SES-related differences were moderated by state cost of living and social safety net programs (Medicaid expansion and cash assistance). SES remained broadly associated with cognition, psychopathology, brain volumes, and cortical surface areas, even after controlling for the EA PGI. Brain phenotypes that were more heritable or more strongly associated with the EA PGI were not, overall, less related to SES, nor were SES-related differences in these phenotypes less moderated by macroeconomic context and policy. Informing a long-running theoretical debate, and contra to widespread lay beliefs, results suggest that aspects of child development that are more strongly related to genetic differences are not, in general, less associated with socioeconomic contexts and policies.
Lexical feedback in the Time-Invariant String Kernel (TISK) model of spoken word recognition

Published: December 2023

The Time-Invariant String Kernel (TISK) model of spoken word recognition (Hannagan, Magnuson & Grainger, 2013; You & Magnuson, 2018) is an interactive activation model with many similarities to TRACE (McClelland & Elman, 1986). However, by replacing most time-specific nodes in TRACE with time-invariant open-diphone nodes, it uses orders of magnitude fewer nodes and connections than TRACE. Although TISK performed remarkably similarly to TRACE in simulations reported by Hannagan et al., the original TISK implementation did not include lexical feedback, precluding simulation of top-down effects, and leaving open the possibility that adding feedback to TISK might fundamentally alter its performance. Here, we demonstrate that when lexical feedback is added to TISK, it gains the ability to simulate top-down effects without losing the ability to simulate the fundamental phenomena tested by Hannagan et al. Furthermore, with feedback, TISK demonstrates graceful degradation when noise is added to input, although parameters without feedback can be found that also promote (less) graceful degradation. We review arguments for and against feedback in cognitive architectures, and argue that feedback provides a computationally efficient basis for robust constraint-based processing.
Individualisation in cognitive skills training: essential or superfluous? Examining the effectiveness of an adaptive game for training executive functions in young adults

Significant resources have been allocated to the development of training programmes designed to enhance executive functions. Recently, digital games have emerged as a promising tool for this purpose. However, the impact of adaptive games, which adjust game difficulty based on the player’s performance, on trained and untrained executive functions (i.e., near and far transfer) remains to be investigated. In the present study, 59 young adults participated in an executive function game designed to improve shifting abilities for a total duration of 120 minutes, distributed over four consecutive days. The differential effects of both an adaptive and a non-adaptive game version on shifting (i.e., near transfer), and updating and inhibition (i.e., far transfer) were examined. The findings indicated that while near and far transfer effects were identified, there were no discernible variations in training outcomes between the two game versions. The present study thus contributes to the expansion of the evidence base in the field of executive function games.

Objective: Significant gaps remain in our knowledge of cognitive aging in Hispanic adults, the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States (U.S.). Episodic autobiographical memory (EAM), which has well documented age-related differences, has not been directly examined in older U.S. Hispanic adults – a population that is commonly bilingual. This study aimed to examine the effects of Spanish-English bilingualism and aging on EAM among Hispanic adults.Methods: In the present study 100 young and middle-aged/older Hispanic adults (50 English-Spanish bilingual Hispanic participants and 50 monolingual English-speaking Hispanic participants) narrated EAMs in a structured interview. We assessed these narratives for episodic and non-episodic details using an established scoring protocol.Results: We replicated the commonly observed age-related decrease in episodic detail generation among Hispanic participants, with non-episodic detail not significantly differing between young and older Hispanic participants. Among young Hispanic participants, bilingualism was associated with higher episodic, but not non-episodic, detail generation. This bilingualism advantage for episodic detail, however, was not evident among older Hispanic participants.Conclusions: These results underscore the complex interplay between bilingualism and age in autobiographical memory for events among Hispanic adults. Our study highlights the importance of including diverse race/ethnic and linguistic samples in cognitive aging research to better understand how bilingualism and cultural factors influence memory across the lifespan.
Threat Assessment and the Larger Conversation on Violence and Culture in the Academic Literature

Published: December 2023

This study looks at how the relatively new field of threat assessment uses language by analyzing journal abstracts from its flagship peer-reviewed publication (Journal of Threat Assessment Management). We use a fully updated version of keyword analysis that measures keyness as a combination of frequency and dispersion statistics to find the words that best describe the journal's content. The investigation was concluded by comparing the flagship journal to both forensics journals and journals about culture. By analyzing the discourse, language choice, and narratives of the flagship journal, we can learn more about the research being done in the field of threat assessment. Such analyses seek to promote this emerging field by fostering critical thought and exposing blind spots.
Object-based attention during scene perception elicits boundary contraction in memory
Authors: Hall Elizabeth , Geng Joy
Published: December 2023

Boundary contraction and extension are two types of scene transformations that occur in memory. In extension, viewers extrapolate information beyond the edges of the image, whereas in contraction, viewers forget information near the edges. Recent work suggests that image composition influences the direction and magnitude of boundary transformation. We hypothesize that selective attention at encoding is an important driver of boundary transformation effects, selective attention to specific objects at encoding leading to boundary contraction. In this study, one group of participants (N=36) memorized 15 scenes while searching for targets, while a separate group (N=36) just memorized the scenes. Both groups then drew the scenes from memory with as much object and spatial detail as they could remember. We asked online workers to provide ratings of boundary transformations in the drawings, as well as how many objects they contained and the precision of remembered object size and location. We found that Search condition drawings showed significantly greater boundary contraction than drawings of the same scenes in the Memorize condition. Search drawings were significantly more likely to contain target objects, and the likelihood to recall other objects in the scene decreased as a function of their distance from the target. These findings suggest that selective attention to a specific object due to a search task at encoding will lead to significant boundary contraction.
"Because Modern People Believe in New Skydaddy"

Online religion may challenge traditional forms of practice, ideas, values, hierarchies, and authorities. This article explores some of the complex ways in which Buddhism is practiced as a lived religion on the internet. It looks at three case studies from the subreddit /r/Buddhism on Reddit.com and uses these examples as springboards for a broader discussion of Buddhist identity, authority, and authenticityin the twenty-first century. The article also discusses recent relevant scholarship and suggests that Reddit is a valuable yet understudied source of insight into the lives of ordinary religious practitioners in the twenty-first century. The article in particular highlights how Reddit can be a source of insight into “the broad variety of articulations of religious identities, such as the stories of women, gay peopleand other groups whose voices have been marginalized in religious communities throughout history” (Lövheim 2012: 163).
