Beyond Single Paradigms, Pipelines, and Outcomes: Embracing Multiverse Analyses in Psychophysiology
Authors: Clayson Peter E
Published: October 2023

Psychophysiological research is an inherently complex undertaking due to the nature of the data, and its analysis is characterized by many decision points that shape the final dataset and a study’s findings. These decisions create a “multiverse” of potential outcomes, and each decision from study conceptualization to statistical analysis can lead to different results and interpretations. This review describes the concept of multiverse analyses, a methodological approach designed to understand the impact of different decisions on the robustness of the study findings and interpretation. The emphasis is on transparently showcasing different reasonable approaches for constructing a final dataset and on highlighting the influence of various decision points, from experimental design to data processing and outcome selection. For example, the choice of an experimental task can significantly impact event-related potential (ERP) scores or skin conductance responses (SCRs), and different tasks might elicit unique variances in each measure. The review underscores the importance of transparently embracing the flexibility inherent in psychophysiological research and the potential consequences of not understanding the fragility or robustness of experimental findings. By navigating the intricate terrain of the psychophysiological multiverse, this review serves as a guide, helping researchers make informed decisions, improve the collective understanding of psychophysiological findings, and push the boundaries of the field.
An Investigation Into the Impact of Multiple Categorisation on Prejudice and Dehumanisation Towards People With Mental Illness
Authors: Jones Joshua , Smailes David
Published: October 2023

Objective: People with mental illness experience significant prejudice across a wide range of contexts, leading to issues such as lower life satisfaction, disengagement from treatment, and an increased dependence on national health services. While research has demonstrated the prejudice-reducing and re-humanising effects of interventions based on multiple social categorisation, much of this has focused on out-groups perceived as a competitive threat. As its impact on non-competitive out-groups remains unknown, the present study aimed to investigate the ability of multiple categorisation to reduce dehumanisation and overall prejudice within the context of mental illness.Method: The potential mediating effects of perceived threat, individuation, and dehumanisation were also explored. A sample of 65 participants with no history of mental illness were randomly allocated to one of two categorisation conditions (multiple or simple) and asked to complete a series of context-relevant measures as part of an online survey. Study materials are available at https://osf.io/k6fte/. Results: The results revealed that multiple categorisation led to significant reductions in overall prejudice, subtle dehumanisation, and perceived threat, but had little effect on blatant dehumanisation or individuation. Perceived threat was found to partially mediate the reduction in subtle dehumanisation, and overall prejudice was fully mediated by dehumanisation. Study data are available at https://osf.io/k6fte/. Conclusions: Recommendations for future research are provided, including the need for longitudinal data and studies investigating real-world impact.
Patient and clinician perspectives on supported mealtimes as part of anorexia nervosa treatment: a systematic review and qualitative synthesis
Authors: Komarova Daria , Chambers Kate , Foye Una , Jewell Tom
Published: October 2023

Objective: To systematically review the literature on clinicians’ and patients’ experiences of supported mealtimes in the treatment of anorexia nervosa.Method: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022372565). PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Embase were searched up to the 20th of November 2023 for qualitative articles investigating the perspectives of healthcare professionals and patients on clinician-supported meals across all clinical settings. Data were analysed using thematic synthesis. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program was used to evaluate the quality of selected studies. Results: This review comprised of 26 studies; eight concerned with the perspectives of clinician experiences only, 16 addressing patients’ views and two papers exploring the experiences of both groups. Experiences of both groups were generally negative; three overlapping themes were identified: lack of consistency in care provided, high levels of negative emotions and an uncomfortable power dynamic. Conclusions: This review suggests that supported mealtimes are experienced more positively by patients when rules are clear and consistently enforced, and when clinicians make informal conversation and supportive comments. Our findings highlight the need for best practice guidelines and clinician training to improve the delivery of supported mealtimes. Such guidelines and training should be coproduced in collaboration with patients and carers.
Towards an AI policy framework in scholarly publishing
Authors: Lin Zhicheng
Published: October 2023

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are rapidly transforming scholarly research. To harness their benefits while minimizing potential pitfalls, robust policies are urgently needed. In analyzing AI policies for authors and reviewers from major publishing organizations and leading journal groups, we found not only marked inconsistencies in permitted usage and reporting requirements, but also a general lack of clarity or guidance on ethical principles, transparency, and reproducibility. Furthermore, the restrictions set by these policies are largely unenforceable. To establish ethical norms and best practices, we propose a pragmatic, enabling principle that encourages authors to produce their best work with AI assistance, emphasizing responsible disclosure over unenforceable restrictions. Building on this principle and the strengths of existing policies, we offer ready-to-use author and reviewer policy templates. When AI systems are used beyond typical editing services, authors should report details of the tool, its usage, generated content, and prompts. Reviewer policies should articulate confidentiality risks. Our analysis and policy templates offer a roadmap for building consensus and best practices for the responsible integration of AI into scholarly routines, thereby accelerating discovery without compromising academic integrity.

Authors: Gupta Sujaya , Khadka Aakanksha , Limbu Tangsang , Maharjan Udikshya , Singh Preeti , Bhattarai Bhagabat
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Gingival bleeding (GB) is a common clinical finding in periodontal diseases. It is one of the most easy and reliable parameters for evaluating periodontal status. Self-reported GB provides vital information about periodontal diseases of a population and their periodontal treatment needs.
Objective: To assess the self-experience and awareness of GB among undergraduate students and interns of a medical college.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 382 undergraduate students of MBBS, BDS, and Nursing atKathmandu Medical College using online questionnaire. Participants were selected by convenience sampling from December 2021 to March 2022 after ethical clearance. Responses entered into Google Forms were exported to Microsoft Excel Sheet 2019 and descriptive analysis for calculation of frequency, percent, mean, and standard deviation was done.
Results: A total of 382 undergraduate students (female: 244, 63.9%) participated with ages ranging from 17-31 years. Most respondents (204, 53.4%) were from BDS. About two-third participants (241, 63.1%) experienced gingival bleeding. Most participants (260, 68.1%) believed there was a relation between the gingival disease and systemic disease. However, very few of the participants believed that antihypertensive (146, 38.2%), anticonvulsant (138, 36.1%), and immunosuppressive (166, 43.5%) drugs could increase gingival bleeding. Not even half (179, 46.9%) believed they knew about gingivitis.
Conclusions: Self-reported GB was seen in majority. Though many were aware about the association between gingival and systemic diseases, only few knew about the adverse effects of antihypertensive, anticonvulsant, and immunosuppressive drugs in gingiva. The gingival health awareness of undergraduate students, needs to be reinforced.
Comparison of Efficacy of Localized Narrow-Band UVB Therapy Versus Localized PUVA Therapy in Chronic Hand Eczema
Authors: Khadka Dhan Keshar , Agrawal Sudha , Rijal Arpana , Shrestha Samir
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Hand eczema is a type of dermatitis largely confined to the hands. Narrowband UVB (NBUVB) appears to be as effective as topical PUVA therapy in the treatment of chronic hand dermatitis. However, the risks of phototoxicity and dyspigmentation associated with local PUVA therapy make NBUVB therapy a preferable initial therapeutic option.
Methods and Methodology: A total of 40 patients with chronic hand eczema were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (20) receiving localized NBUVB and Group B (20) receiving localized PUVA therapy. They were administered the designated treatment modality for the period of 8 weeks. They were evaluated every 2 weeks to see for the clinical response and any side effects.
Results: In group A, there was around 47% and 85% improvement in Clinical Assessment Score (CAS) at weeks 4 and 8 respectively. Similarly, in group B, there was around 52% and 86% improvement in CAS at weeks 4 and 8 respectively. The improvement in terms of the mean of CAS in cases of group B was more compared to group A. (p=0.636 at week 4 and 0.578 at week 8).
Conclusion: Light-based modalities of treatment in the form of localized NBUVB and PUVA can be considered as an alternative treatment of choice in cases of hand eczema as they have been shown effective by the reduction in the clinical assessment score. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the reduction in the mean clinical assessment score among the patients treated with either localized NBUVB or PUVA.

Authors: Thapa Deeptara Pathak , Rana Arnija
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that occurs due to sexual contact. There are various pathogens contributing for STDs. There is a rising trend of STDs globally, but actual reported cases are low due to low screening and reporting.
Materials and Methods: This study was a prospective hospital-based study. Patients were included in the study according to the inclusion criteria. All data were recorded in a preset proforma. Routine laboratory investigations along with STD workup was done in patients.
Results: A total of 62 patients were included in the study according to the inclusion criteria. The age ranged from 17-52years. There were 63% males and 37% females. The majority of patients were employed (60%). Regarding awareness about symptoms of STDs, the patients responded as Infertility in 22%, ulcers in 17%, followed by swelling, genital discharge, dyspareunia, and 24% gave multiple response. Regarding attitude about awareness of prevention of STDs, maximum patients (43%) responded that, through condom use, prevention of the STDs was possible. Out of the total patients 58% Spouse were the commonest partner in 27%. The patients presented with symptoms like urethral discharge in 26%, followed by genital ulcers, genital growth, mixed infections and vaginal discharge. The commonest diagnosis was Syphilis followed by Gonococcal urethritis, non-gonococcal urethritis, warts, Genital herpes, vulvovaginal candidiasis, molluscum contagiosum, and mixed infections.
Conclusion: Syphilis is the most prevalent STD, according to the current study. Due to the dearth of knowledge regarding STDs, the STD patients, who visit our facility may only be the tip of the iceberg. It is necessary to spread awareness about STDs among individuals through social media and educational institutions, starting at the local level and moving up to the national level.

Проблема смислоутворення: теоретичний аналіз
Authors: Євтушенко Ірина
Published: October 2023

У статті представлено аналіз наукових досліджень щодо смислоутворення. Вказано, що структура особистості визначена її направленістю, яка займає провідне місце як її системоутворюючий компонент. У статті окреслено, що виділення в життєвому світі суб’єкта провідних смислових орієнтирів, які є смислоутворюючими основами життєдіяльності людини, здійснюється на основі індивідуального неповторних актів. Зазначено, що психологічною основою формування та зміни загальних смислових орієнтацій особистості є не процеси смислоутворення, а породження смислу у безпосередній взаємодії із навколишнім світом. Створення смислу – це процес, за допомогою якого інтерпретуються ситуації чи події відповідно до попередніх знань та досвіду.Осмислення передбачає перетворення обставин в ситуацію, яка осмислюється словами та слугує підґрунтям для дій. У статті виокремлено властивості смислоутворення: ідентичність, ретроспектива, стабільність, постанова, виокремлені сигнали, соціальний фактор, правдоподібність.Модель осмислення пояснює можливість ретроспективного усвідомлення минулих подій і реакцію на майбутнє. Також зазначено, що смислоутворення є основою із соціальних дій, а культурні наративи допомагають усвідомити події, надаючи їм основу для їх розуміння. У процесі смислоутворення важливим є розуміння окремих смислових актів: від предметної референції смислу до його включення в змістовий контекст, а потім до комунікативного вираження.У статті зазначено що основними механізмами розуміння є взаємозв’язані процеси усвідомлення значень і смислоутворення, які породжують нові образи. У статті окреслено, що смислоутворення означає нове розуміння ситуації, переосмислення цінностей, зміну поведінкових установок, та вибір адекватного способу рішення проблеми. Смислоутворення – це результат засвоєння культурного досвіду на основі різних механізмів його розуміння.

У статті авторка поставила за мету з’ясувати роль та місце Систем автоматичного перекладу (САТ) у вдосконаленні професійної підготовки майбутніх перекладачів. У публікації розглянуто значення САТ у перекладацькій практиці, основні компоненти САТ, аспекти навчання перекладачів із використанням САТ, виклики, пов’язані з використанням САТ, перспективи майбутнього розвитку САТ та вплив їх на професію перекладача. Увагу, зокрема, закцентовано на досвіді закладів вищої освіти Франції у підготовці майбутніх перекладачів. Доведено, що САТ є незамінним інструментом у перекладацькій практиці; компоненти САТ взаємодіють між собою для створення ефективної системи автоматичного перекладу;  навчання перекладачів з використанням САТ включає низку аспектів, які спрямовані на оволодіння необхідними компетентностями, зокрема: розуміти принципи роботи САТ; ефективно використовувати САТ-інструменти; провадити термінологічну роботу; редагувати та коригувати автоматичний переклад; адаптуватися до нових інструментів САТ; критично мислити та оцінювати переклад для ідентифікації помилок, недоліків чи неправильних перекладів; професійна підготовка майбутніх перекладачів у Франції в епоху штучного інтелекту адаптована до нових викликів і можливостей, що засвідчують програми підготовки перекладачів, які пропонують, зокрема, такі університети, як L’université Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle, l’Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (Inalco), Université Paris VIII (Vincens-Saint-Denis), L’Université d’Aix-Marseille, Université Lyon II (Lumière). Висновковано, що в професійній підготовці майбутніх перекладачів у Франції в епоху ШІ забезпечено баланс між розвитком традиційних навичок перекладу та новими навичками, пов’язаними з використанням ШІ. Такий підхід дає можливість майбутнім перекладачам ефективно себе зреалізувати у сучасному середовищі, де штучний інтелект відіграє все більшу роль.
Sen w poezji Julii Hartwig
Authors: Pajdzińska Anna
Published: October 2023

Autorka, wykorzystując metody badań językowego obrazu świata oraz semantyki tekstu artystycznego, dokonuje rekonstrukcji dwóch obrazów snu – utrwalonego w polszczyźnie i wpisanego w utwory Julii Hartwig, wybitnej polskiej poetki współczesnej. Z porównania tych obrazów wynika, że: 1) poetyckie przedstawienie snu-stanu fizjologicznego jest w większym stopniu niż doznań sennych zakorzenione w polszczyźnie i w utrwalonych językowo schematach konceptualnych, a kreatywność przejawia się przede wszystkim na poziomie językowego ukształtowania tekstu; 2) poetycki obraz śnienia cechuje rozbudowana charakterystyka jego podmiotu i preferencja sądu o dominacji snu nad osobą śniącą; 3) ukazywana przez Hartwig interakcyjność dwóch procesów: śnienia i pamięci nie uobecnia się w językowym obrazie snu; 4) w poezji zakres sądów aksjologicznych został rozszerzony: śnieniu przypisywane bywają także ambiwalentne wartości etyczne oraz melioratywne wartości witalno-hedonistyczne, a spaniu – melioratywne wartości poznawcze.
CONTROL SYSTEM BASED ON A CONTROLLER FOR CONTROLLING THE SPEED OF THE CARRIAGE OF THE BRICK MOULDING MACHINE
Authors: Perepelitsya Vyacheslav I. , Kozlov Leonid G.
Published: October 2023

Today, when designing hydraulic systems, the use of controllers has increased significantly. One of the main reasons forthis growth is the need for precision management. To ensure the required movement speed, it is necessary to ensure aproportional flow of liquid to the hydraulic drive. An urgent task in the design of such systems is the choice of the algorithm ofthe controller to increase the accuracy of the hydraulic drive. The article analyzes studies devoted to the problem of usingcontrollers for the control system of the movement of the carriage of the unit for forming brick blanks. The scheme of theinstallation for forming brick blanks with control from the controller was developed and the principle of its operation wasdescribed. A mathematical model of the movement dynamics of the installation carriage with control from the controller wasmade. The mathematical model is represented by a system of nonlinear differential equations solved by the Rosenbrockmethod. The dependence of the voltage change at the output of the controller on time during the movement of the installationcarriage was presented in the form of a fractional-piecewise function and was divided into three sections. A simulation studyof the movement dynamics of the installation carriage was carried out in the MATLAB-Simulink environment. As a result, theinfluence of each of the areas on the change in the speed of the carriage due to the change in the voltage at the output of thecontroller is determined. The recommended ranges of changes in voltage values at the output of the controller in which theerror of the movement speed of the carriage and the clay bar will be equal to 0.71·10-3 m. The dependence of the speed onthe movement time of the carriage for the installation scheme with the use of the controller and without it was obtained. Therange of values of the voltage change at the output of the controller Ua, which ensures the aperiodic law of change of carriagemovement, was found. The magnitude of the error between the movement speeds of the installation carriage and the clay barfor the installation scheme with and without the use of the controller was compared.

Dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in diabetes mellitus which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus visiting a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care centre among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from 18 February 2020 to 18 August 2020 after obtaining ethical clearance from the Institutional Review Committee. Demographic and blood samples were analysed and recorded using validated and calibrated tools. A convenience sampling technique was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval.
Results: Out of 390 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 343 (87.95%) (84.72-91.18, 95% Confidence Interval) had dyslipidemia. The most prevalent dyslipidemia was high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol at 85 (24.78%) followed by mixed dyslipidemia at 305 (88.92%).
Conclusions: The prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was found to be higher than studies conducted in similar settings. We recommend regular testing of blood glucose and blood lipid levels for early detection of dyslipidemia and putting them under medical supervision to reduce the unwanted complications of cardiovascular diseases.
To the Problem of “Memory for Movements” (Experimental Research Experience)
Authors: Goncharov V. I.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the review of the results of the author's own long-term research on “memory for movements”. This type of memory attracted the attention of a considerable number of researchers in the early–mid 20th century, especially from representatives of physical culture and sports. However, at present it is practically not investigated and remains an insufficiently studied type of memory. The loss of researchers' interest in “memory for movements” is difficult to explain by the high level of its study. Most likely, the continuation of its study faces problems of a methodological and diagnostic nature and difficulties associated with the possibilities of generalization and interpretation of the data obtained, their practical application, which does not contribute to the popularity of such studies. The data presented in the article can serve as a basis for continuing research on the problem of "memory for movements".

حصاة الحالب واعراضها تؤثر على حياة المريض بصوره سلبيه، عدة علاجات متوفرة لعلاج حصاة الحالب من ضمنها مراقبه المريض، استخدام ادويه تفتيت الحصاة، استخدام موجات الفوق الصوتية تفتيت الحصاة بناظور الحالب، استخراج الحصاة جراحيا او بالناظور البطني, استخدام ناظور الحالب وتفتيت الحصاة بالليزر هي الطريقة المفضلة لعلاج حصاة اسفل الحالب.
الهدف من الدراسة:لمقارنه تأثير ومضاعفات استخدام تقنيه الطحن او تقنيه التكسير لحصاة أسفل الحالب باستخدام الليزر وذلك بمقارنه وقت العملية، معدل التخلص من الحصى، معدل احتياج وضع قسطره الحالب والمضاعفات داخل العملية.
المرضى والأساليب: ادرج في هذه الدراسة 120 مريض تم تقسيمهم الى مجموعتين : (الأولى) تكسير حصاة الحالب باستخدام تقنيه الطحن وتم تقسيمها الى مجموعتين الأولى حصاة بين 10-15 ملم والثانية حصاة اصغر من 10 ملم, و(الثانية) باستخدام تقنيه التكسير وتم تقسيمها الى مجموعتين الأولى حصاة بين 10-15 ملم والثانية حصاة اصغر من 10 ملم في مستشفى الشهيد غازي الحريري للجراحات التخصصية للفترة من كانون الأول 2019 الى تموز 2022 , تمت المقارنة بين كلتا الطريقتين من حيث وقت العمليه,معدل التخلص من الحصاة، معدل وضع قسطره الحالب, مضاعفات حدثت خلال العملية.
النتائج: وقت العملية في النوع الأول (تقنيه الطحن) أكثر من النوع الثاني (تقنيه التكسير) مع وجود فرق كبير ذو دلاله إحصائية، معدل التخلص من حصاة الحالب في النوع الأول أكثر من النوع الثاني بدون وجود فرق كبير ذو دلاله إحصائية، احتياج وضع قسطره الحالب أكثر في النوع الثاني مقارنه بالنوع الأول مع وجود فرق كبير ذو دلاله إحصائية.
من حيث المضاعفات خلال العملية، أكثر بالنوع الثاني مقارنه بالنوع الأول بدون وجود فرق كبير ذو دلاله إحصائية.
الاستنتاج:ان تفتيت حصاة الحالب باستخدام تقنيه الطحن ذو مضاعفات اقل داخل العملية وذو احتياج اقل لوضع قسطره الحالب، ولكن وقت العملية أطول،تفتيت حصاة الحالب باستخدام تقنية التكسير وقت عمليه أقصر وأكثر مضاعفات داخل العملية وأكثر احتياج لوضع قسطره الحالب.

Robin's criterion on superabundant numbers
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: October 2023

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality \(\sigma(n) < e^{\gamma} \cdot n \cdot \log \log n\) holds for all natural numbers \(n > 5040\), where \(\sigma(n)\) is the sum-of-divisors function of \(n\), \(\gamma \approx 0.57721\) is the Euler-Mascheroni constant and \(\log\) is the natural logarithm. We require the properties of superabundant numbers, that is to say left to right maxima of \(n \mapsto \frac{\sigma(n)}{n}\). Let \(P_{n}\) be equal to \(\prod_{q \mid \frac{N_{r}}{6}} \frac{q^{\nu_{q}(n) + 2} - 1}{q^{\nu_{q}(n) + 2} - q}\) for a superabundant number \(n > 5040\), where \(\nu_{p}(n)\) is the \(\textit{p-adic}\) order of \(n\), \(q_{k}\) is the largest prime factor of \(n\) and \(N_{r} = \prod_{i = 1}^{r} q_{i}\) is the largest primorial number of order \(r\) such that \(\frac{N_{r}}{6} < q_{k}^{2}\). In this note, we prove that the Riemann hypothesis is true when \(P_{n} \geq Q\) holds for all large enough superabundant numbers \(n\), where \(Q = \frac{1.2 \cdot (2 - \frac{1}{8}) \cdot (3 - \frac{1}{3})}{(2 - \frac{1}{2^{19}}) \cdot (3 - \frac{1}{3^{12}})} \approx 1.0000015809\). We know that \(\prod_{q \mid \frac{N_{r}}{6}} (q^{\nu_{q}(n) + 2} - 1) \geq Q \cdot \prod_{q \mid \frac{N_{r}}{6}} (q^{\nu_{q}(n) + 2} - q)\) trivially holds for large enough superabundant numbers \(n\) and thus, the Riemann hypothesis is true.
Towards a Model-Based Approach: Applications to Historical Demography and Palaeodemography
Authors: Courgeau Daniel
Published: October 2023

There is a large variety of different kinds of models. However we think that they all have in common to represent something beyond themselves: they are representations of parts of the world. As scientists, we are driven to select only a few aspects of the phenomena studied. However these aspects will be characterised with great precision. This explains why models are only considering parts of the world as we are driven to select only a few aspects of the phenomena studied. We will first give an historical presentation of models to show their usefulness in the past. We will then develop agent-based models, which are most used in demography, but also in historical demography. Some of them are not able to solve this incompleteness. Finally, we will show how a deeper philosophical approach of these problems may permit a true scientific treatment of explanation in demography.
Treatment of autoimmune pancreatitis in English Cocker Spaniel dog
Authors: Ryabova Elena
Published: October 2023

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a poorly studied pathology in veterinary medicine, which is due to the low prevalence of the English Cocker Spaniel breed in the Russian Federation, as well as the lack of specific diagnosis of the disease. In human medicine, the incidence of the disease is also low. The principal difference between the treatment of AIP and the treatment of pancreatitis of a non–immune nature is the use of immunosuppressive drugs. The main guideline in evaluating the effectiveness of the chosen therapy is a positive clinical response to the use of drugs of this group.
