Effects of goal relevance on emotional attention: a systematic exploration
Authors: Xue Xiaojuan , Pourtois Gilles
Published: May 2024

Emotional signals such as threat receive privileged access to awareness and modulate attention. Although some previous studies found that threat-related stimuli capture attention automatically, others have suggested instead that this capture actually depends on goals and hence is not fully automatic. The goal of this study was to assess whether the capture of attention by threat could be modulated by the goal-relevance of emotion or not, thereby informing about its putative automaticity. To address this question, we used a dot-probe task (DPT) with emotional faces in combination with induction trials meant to create a specific top-down attentional control set. In Experiment 1, which served as a baseline, emotion was never task-relevant. In Experiment 2, induction trials required to process the emotional cue shown prior to the target, yet with a focus on a non-emotional stimulus dimension (i.e. gender). In Experiment 3, participants were asked to attend to the emotional content of the cue during the induction trials, rendering it directly task and hence goal-relevant. In each experiment, eye-tracking was used to ascertain that the emotional cue as well as the subsequent target were processed with peripheral vision during this DPT. Moreover, we analyzed the data at the single trial level using a linear mixed model (LMM). Results showed (i) that fearful faces did not capture attention automatically and (ii) the activation of a specific attentional control set did not alter this outcome. However, when we combined the data of these three experiments into a common statistical model, results showed limited evidence in favor of the automatic capture of attention by fearful faces. We discuss these results using recent theoretical models according to which (negative) emotion can bias the competition for attention selection, independently from goals and physical salience.
The perceptual and mnemonic effects of ensemble representation on individual size representation
Authors: Choi Yong Min , Golomb Julie
Published: May 2024

Our visual world consists of multiple objects, necessitating the identification of individual objects. Nevertheless, the representation of visual objects often exerts influence on each other. Even when we selectively attend to a subset of visual objects, the representations of surrounding items are encoded and influence the processing of the attended item(s). However, it remains unclear whether the effect of group ensemble representation on individual item representation occurs at the perceptual encoding phase, during the memory maintenance period, or both. Therefore, the current study conducted visual psychophysics experiments to investigate the contributions of perceptual and mnemonic bias on the observed effect of ensemble representation on individual size representation. Across five experiments, we found a consistent pattern of repulsive ensemble bias, such that the size of an individual target circle was consistently reported to be smaller than it actually was when presented alongside other circles with larger mean size, and vice versa. There was a perceptual component to the bias, but mnemonic factors also influenced its magnitude. Specifically, the repulsion bias was strongest with a short retention period (0-50 ms), then reduced within a second to a weaker magnitude that remained stable for a longer retention period (5,000 ms). Such patterns of results persisted when we facilitated the processing of ensemble representation by increasing the set size (Experiment 1B) or post-cueing the target circle so that attention was distributed across all items (Experiment 2B).

Shifting Neoliberalism in US Telecommunications Policy: A Critical Reading of Chicago School Roads
Authors: Forde Sydney L
Published: May 2024

Popular narratives characterising neoliberal economic orthodoxy hold that all forms of government intervention are counter-productive to free markets. Conservatives who claim to embody such liberalism often trace opposition to government interventions to two founding Chicago School economists, Friedrich August von Hayek and Milton Friedman. Through close examinations of the seminal works from Hayek and Friedman, this paper complicates the relationship between the “free-market” neoliberal economic imaginaries derived from both economists’ seminal books as “utopian neoliberalism”, and modern commercial-focused telecommunications policies premised on the active construction of industry serving conditions as “political neoliberalism”. In examining the CONNECT Act aimed at banning the municipal deployment of broadband services in every state across America, this analysis demonstrates significant differences between “utopian” and “political” articulations of neoliberalism, with the latter appearing to ground language and justifications in the former, while simultaneously contradicting baseline principles of such. The seemingly baseless motivations behind the contradictory logics of political neoliberalism are critically assessed and the role of corporate domination of the US telecommunications sector as a guiding philosophy for neoliberal policymakers is discussed.

Aim. Тo summarize the information of contemporary literature on the effect of HPV on fertility and the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization. Key points. Currently, there is a high prevalence of human papillomavirus among women of fertile age. However, compared to the sufficient knowledge of the oncogenic effects of the virus, the study of its effect on fertility requires further research and should get more attention due to the possible negative effects of HPV on pregnancy outcomes and ART results. Despite the contradictory information, there is a large amount of data on the ability of the virus to reduce sperm parameters, in particular sperm motility, the number of common gametes and the percentage of normal cells. The human papillomavirus can lead to blastocyst infection, reduce cell viability, disrupt placentation processes and subsequently lead to miscarriage. Surgical treatment of cervical pathology, the cause of which is the human papillomavirus, can also affect the results of pregnancy, and the risk of adverse outcomes directly depends on the radicality of the treatment. Conclusion. A link between HPV infection and impaired fertility is indeed present. The virus may affect the outcome of assisted reproductive technologies, but there is a great deal of conflicting data, highlighting the need for longer-term and larger studies to confirm these assumptions. Key words: human papillomavirus, in vitro fertilization, infertility, reproductive outcomes.

Authors: AKPADJAN Fabrice
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Hairdressing is a profession that exposes people to many products responsible for dermatoses. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and the different types of dermatoses observed among hairdressers in the city of Parakou. Method: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study of hairdressers in the city of Parakou using probability sampling. The data were analyzed with the Epi-info7.2.2 software. The comparison of frequencies was done with the Pearson Chi2 statistical test and the significance threshold was set at p strictly less than 5%. Results: A total of 77 hairdressers had dermatoses out of 360 surveyed. The average age was 22.81 +/-8.14 years with extremes of 10 and 52 years. The sex ratio was equal to 0.56. The hand was the most affected area (61.04%). Macular and papular lesions were the most common (29.87%). The most frequent dermatoses were contact dermatitis (10.21%) with 4.72% of wear and tear dermatitis, 4.45% of irritation dermatitis and 1.11% of allergic contact dermatitis, acne (5%) and ungual damage (1.67%). Conclusion: The prevalence of dermatitis among hairdressers is not negligible in Parakou. Communication sessions for a continuous change of behavior would certainly contribute to the reduction of the latter.

Predictions of rainfall categories on the sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) scale based on the Global Climate Model (GCM) output from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) have a prediction time range of up to 46 days ahead. The S2S predictions for the 46 days ahead need 46 models with one model per day. One of the methods for S2S rainfall prediction is the convolutional neural network (CNN) method. However, the CNN requires extensive computational resources. By contrast, the Voting feature interval (VFI) classification algorithm requires few resources, because the VFI training is performed once using all training data. However, the VFI algorithm has low prediction accuracy for classification problems with continuous features such as GCM data. This is due to determining the number of feature intervals based on the number of classes in the VFI training. Furthermore, the vote for each feature interval in the VFI training depends on the number of data in each interval only. This study proposes a modification of the standard VFI algorithm namely the Kernel VFI (KVFI). In KVFI, the vote for each feature interval is determined by the distribution of all data from that feature using the Kernel method. In addition, the proposed method allows for a more flexible determination of the number of feature intervals based on experiments. The newly proposed KVFI algorithm is then utilized to predict the rainfall categories in the Indramayu Regency, Indonesia. The prediction results show that the KVFI algorithm produces higher accuracy than the standard VFI.
Enhancing Developmental Resilience in Children with Special Needs through a Strength-Based Paradigm
Authors: Tan Eunice, Meng Yin , Kuo Mark
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine special education teachers’ perception of the benefits of implementing a strength-based approach in special schools, and the extent to which the special needs students’ strengths, abilities, and talents are valued and addressed in the current education system. It also investigates how teachers support their students’ strengths, talents, and abilities in the current system. Findings from this study would enable a comparison of the current approach and method of working with a child with special needs in Singapore with a strength-based approach.
The current approach to special education in the local schools is said to be deficit driven. Most special schools in Singapore are focused narrowly on the child’s special education needs (medical model), rather than the development of the child. Many teachers of students with special needs tend to focus on their students’ deficits rather than on their strengths (Clark, 2016). A strength-based approach in special education, on the other hand, focuses on students' positive qualities and contributions instead of the skills and abilities they may not have (Elder, Rood, & Damiani, 2018; Garwood, & Ampuja, 2019).
Examining Political Representation of Women in Pakistan through Liberal Feminist Perspective: A Case Study of 2024 General Elections
Authors: Khatoon Sahera , Majid Abdul
Published: May 2024

Despite comprising half of Pakistan's population, women face significant hurdles in political engagement due to entrenched gender inequality and patriarchal structures. Despite measures like quotas, genuine participation remains limited. Liberal feminist theory advocates for addressing the root causes of gender disparity, advocating for gender-inclusive politics by removing institutional barriers. This paper examines structural impediments to women's political involvement in Pakistan, using a liberal feminist lens. It illuminates systemic challenges hindering gender parity in politics, evident in the 2024 general election despite reserved seats in parliament. Cultural norms, social constraints, and violence perpetuate gender inequalities, impeding women's active participation in political processes. This analysis underscores the persistent gender gap in political representation, urging comprehensive reforms to dismantle barriers obstructing women's full engagement in politics.
Sense of Guilt and Shame: An Interpretation of Abdulrazak Gurnah's Gravel Heart in Terms of Traumatic Neurosis
Authors: Hussain Muhammad Sabboor , Tariq Sitara
Published: May 2024

This paper examines Gravel Heart by Abdulrazak Gurnah through a psychoanalytic lens. Its framework stems from the theoretical underpinnings of Cathy Caruth’s traumatic neurosis to interpret the psychic state of the protagonist, Salim. It elucidates the reasons behind the character’s trapped psyche, which leads to a constant sensation of guilt and humiliation. It also sees how his psychological trauma affects others and results in deteriorating consequences. The qualitative method of textual analysis is implied. The researcher has found that the worst impacts of colonialism are the reasons behind Salim's painful circumstances and his regret and shame over past wrongdoings.Acute helplessness shatters his personality, and his previously repressed worries manifest as traumatic injuries, which highlights the neurotic symptoms described by Caruth. The current study highlights Caruth’s modified views on traumatic neurosis. In addition, this paper reconsiders the novel to urge society to reconsider human emotions in the contemporary era.

Authors: Constantin Natasha , Irwansyah Irwansyah
Published: May 2024

Currently, a communication crisis continues to be seen as a frightening menace that may disrupt the seamless operation of many activities in social life, business, and organizations. Instances of communication crises have perennially occurred within enterprises and organizations. This phenomenon is not limited to external communication with audiences outside the corporation or organization but may also manifest inside and within the organization itself. Effective communication is crucial in successfully navigating through the crisis. The coordination of crisis management within an organization or corporation is handled mainly by the Corporate Communication CC and Public Relations/PR departments. Corporate communication and public relations officers must be able to analyze the causes and repercussions of crises, formulate plans to resolve them, and enhance the organization's image. These skills are essential in coordinating with other departments. The study aims to assess and investigate crisis management processes from a Corporate Communication and Public Relations viewpoint. It focuses on the digital era, where efficient crisis-handling protocols are necessary due to the need for high mobility and the use of technology. This study is grounded on a qualitative methodology that utilizes phenomenological approaches. The decision to use phenomenology was based on the informants' experiences prioritizing objectives, namely the functionaries in the two departments, to better understand the challenges encountered. The final results demonstrate that the crisis management process begins when a possible crisis is identified, including methods for preventative measures and preparedness in the event of a crisis.
Waste Pollution Classification in Indonesian Language using DistilBERT
Authors: Nursandi Bambang , Girsang Abba Suganda
Published: May 2024

In Indonesia, waste pollution poses pressing environmental and health challenges, making accurate classification vital for targeted mitigation efforts. DistilBERT emerges as a streamlined counterpart to the acclaimed BERT architecture, designed to mirror BERT's advanced linguistic comprehension but with reduced computational demands. By leveraging the essence of transfer learning, DistilBERT benefits from a wealth of information obtained from extensive textual datasets, positioning it as an ideal choice for scenarios marked by limited data accessibility. In our research, we adopted DistilBERT to address the niche challenge of classifying waste types using a constrained dataset derived from Twitter conversations in Indonesian language—a medium notorious for its concise and often ambiguous content. Notwithstanding the dataset's restricted scope and the noise inherent to Twitter, DistilBERT demonstrated an astounding efficacy, registering a precision rate of 98%. This outcome accentuates DistilBERT's capability to navigate and discern complex textual nuances even in data-restricted environments and further highlights the significance of transfer learning in contemporary natural language processing challenges, especially in contexts as critical as Indonesia's waste management efforts

Mit ihnen zeigt der Beitrag, wie der Widerstand marginalisierter Gruppen (politiktheoretisch) delegitimiert wurde.
Politikwissenschaftliche Geschlechterforschung zu Natur und Umwelt. Feministische Politische Ökologie, Ressourcenpolitik und Queer Ecologies
Authors: Bauhardt Christine
Published: May 2024

Die Geschlechterbinarität und die sozial und kulturell konstruierte Geschlechterhierarchie begründen die Parallelisierung der Ausbeutung der natürlichen Ressourcen und der ReProduktivität von Frauen. Ressourcenpolitik fordert, die Aneignung der Arbeit von Frauen und ihres Umweltwissens zu beenden und sie in umweltpolitische Entscheidungen einzubeziehen. Queer Ecologies ermöglichen es, Care-Verantwortung von ihrer Bindung an quasi-natürliche ReProduktionsverhältnisse zu lösen und zu politisieren.

Obtaining chitosan sulfate nanoparticles in an aqueous medium and their colloidal protection with polysaccharides
Authors: Erasov V. S. , Maltseva Yu. O.
Published: May 2024

Objectives. To develop a method to obtain a hydrosol of the salt of chitosan with sulfuric acid—chitosanium sulfate (ChS) hydrosol—and to study the effect of various water-soluble polysaccharides on its stability over time, as well as its resistance to indifferent and non-indifferent electrolytes.

Methods. κ-Carrageenan, sodium alginate (SA), and xanthan were used as polymers which perform the function of colloidal protection for ChS nanoparticles. Capillary viscometry was used to study the viscosity of polymer solutions, their molecular weight, and their adsorption on ChS. The stability of the sols over time and their resistance to indifferent and non-indifferent electrolytes were evaluated photometrically. The hydrosol particle size was determined by means of dynamic light scattering.

Results. On the surface of ChS, κ-carrageenan is adsorbed most strongly over a wide range of concentrations. The graphs of the dependencies of the relative change in the turbidity of sols with the addition of various polysaccharides on their weight concentration at a sol lifetime of 2 days have the shape of curves with a maximum. Sols with the addition of 0.0125% SA and κ-carrageenan in the range of 0.04% have the greatest stability over time. According to dynamic light scattering data, the average particle size of freshly prepared sols with the addition of the polymers to ensure their greatest stability over time are 10.8 nm and 14.6 nm, respectively. For freshly prepared sols without polysaccharides, this size is 24.8 nm. The hydrosol coagulation threshold with an indifferent electrolyte (NaCl) is 9.3 times higher than that with a non-indifferent electrolyte (Na2SO4). κ-Carrageenan and SA protect the hydrosol from coagulation with an indifferent electrolyte (NaCl) at all their used amounts. At the same polymer concentrations, no protection from coagulation with a non-indifferent electrolyte (Na2SO4) was observed.

Conclusions. A method was developed to obtain ChS hydrosol with a positive particle charge. The stability of ChS sols over time was studied both without and with the addition of SA, κ-carrageenan, and xanthan. Sol coagulation thresholds with indifferent and non-indifferent electrolytes, as well as the protective numbers for κ-carrageenan and SA against the coagulation of hydrosols with these electrolytes, were established. The mechanism of stability of sols at certain concentrations of water-soluble polysaccharides was explained using data on the adsorption of these polysaccharides on the surface of chitosan treated with a solution of sulfuric acid. Based on the results of the work, it can be concluded that SA and κ-carrageenan can be used for the efficient stabilization of ChS hydrosols over time and for the colloidal protection of ChS from coagulation with sodium chloride.
Postpartum Depression: An Invisible Distress in the United Kingdom
Authors: Appiah-Agyekum Michelle Owusua , Tiwari Ritika
Published: May 2024

This opinion piece explores the complexities of Postpartum Depression (PPD), its impact on the mother and child’s mental health, and the societal challenges it presents. PPD extends beyond the commonly experienced “baby blues” and can significantly impact a mother’s functionality due to its potential to evolve into a long-term depressive disorder if not properly addressed. The piece highlights the inadequacy of current maternal mental health support structures within the National Health Service (NHS), pointing out the lack of specialised treatment options tailored to new mothers' unique needs.

It discusses the compound effects of social stigma and cultural barriers that limit access to necessary support, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced support systems and policy reforms. The piece highlights the serious long-term effects of PPD on children, such as developmental delays and emotional and behavioural challenges, advocating for early intervention and comprehensive support systems that address the needs of both mothers and their families. It calls for the adoption of thorough PPD management strategies, including the use of effective screening tools such as the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and extensive educational campaigns to identify early PPD symptoms. The piece further urges for policy changes to provide new mothers with tailored resources and support, promoting a more inclusive and supportive healthcare environment for affected families.

The present contribution bears on the documentation and description of a few unusual sounds, i.e. double labial-velar articulations, in a number of Bantu zone C varieties belonging to the so-called “Sakata cluster” in the southwestern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). These phonemes, often considered typical of a linguistic area known as the “Macro-Sudan Belt”, are considerably more common in southern Central Africa than previously thought. The case of the Sakata varieties at hand represents one of particular interest considering the wide array of labial-velar articulations they present. First, we provide a spectral analysis of the data available to us, discussing the question of whether some of the sounds documented here should be described as labial-velar fricatives. Second, we proceed to review well-established models of sound change to test them against our data, with special focus on kiNgingele. We conclude by proposing that the presence of labial-velars in Sakata is part of a broader set of “uncommon” linguistic features present in northwestern Bantu: this, in turn, might point to the fact that the languages of the region went through stages of greater phonological diversity than suggested by today’s relative homogeneity. Sakata labial-velars may just be one trace of this diversity.

Akan tone encoding across musical modalities

Musical surrogate languages like talking drums remain understudied in the linguistics literature, despite their close connection with the phonetics and phonology of the spoken language. African surrogate languages tend to be based on tone, making them a unique angle for studying a language’s tonal system. This paper looks at the encoding of Akan tone in three instrumental surrogate languages: the atumpan drums, the seperewa harp, and the abɛntia horn trumpet. Each instrument presents different organological constraints that could shape how the tone system is transposed to musical form. Drawing on novel data elicited with musicians in Ghana, we show that all three systems are built on a two-tone foundation mirroring the Akan tone system, but with subtle differences in the treatment of downstep and intonational effects like phrase-final lowering and lax question intonation.

The phased transition to trilingual education in secondary schools in Kazakhstan led to the need to undertake professionally oriented foreign language teaching, as well as updating curricula and learning materials through the integration of subject content with language learning. The effectiveness of studying comprehensive subjects depends on proficiency in subject-specific target terminology. The article mainly focuses on the principles of implementing linguodidactic approaches in the pre-professional level learners` specialized vocabulary formation, providing insights for teachers according to terminology teaching. This paper presents a short theoretical overview and practical research observations in the field of specialized vocabulary instruction to students. The purpose of the study is to identify an effective implementation practice of linguodidactic approaches in the content of specific lexical acquisition by pre-professional level students of the comprehensive subjects (Physics, Biology, Chemistry, IT/ Computer Science) taught in English. The study uses methods of observation, monitoring, and comparative analysis, as well as literary analysis of secondary education and its pre-professional level requirements in Kazakhstan and ESP methodology of teaching. The article formulates methodological recommendations for effective pre-professional classroom management as an efficient realization of linguodidactic approaches in terminological vocabulary teaching in the target (English) language.
