Feigning memory impairment in a forced-choice task: Evidence from event-related potentials
Authors: Jansen Markus Thomas , Tamm Sascha , Merten Thomas , Tamm Anett , Hofmann Markus
Published: April 2020

Strategies of malingering detection have brought about a wealth of neuropsychological studies in the last decades. However, the investigation of physiological measures to reliably differentiate between authentic and manipulated symptom presentations is still in its infancy. The present study examined event-related potentials (ERP) to identify feigned memory impairment. We tested instructed malingerers (n = 25) and control participants (n = 22) with a recognition task similar to the Test of Memory Malingering. No differences between groups were found for P1 (70-110 ms) but for N1 (120-170 ms) and P300 components, with lower amplitudes for instructed malingerers. Behavioral data showed a typical pattern of unrealistically high errors in a forced-choice recognition task and less overall recalled stimuli in instructed malingerers. We also found study-phase repetition and old/new effects in the P300, but no interactions with groups (control vs. malingering). Post-hoc analyses revealed that the P300 effect is greater when participants reported an attention-based faking strategy, as opposed to response-based malingerers and controls. The employment of physiological measures can yield additional information on the validity of test data without the need to perform additional tests.
Improving the Utility of Non-Significant Results for Educational Research
Authors: Edelsbrunner Peter Adriaan , Thurn Christian
Published: April 2020

Non-significant results have the potential to further our understanding of what does not work in education, and why. We make three contributions to harness this potential and to improve the usage and interpretation of non-significant results. To evaluate current practices, we conduct a review of misinterpretations of non-significant p-values in recent educational research. The review indicates that over 90% of non-significant results are erroneously interpreted as indicating the absence of an effect, or a difference compared to a significant effect. Researchers sometimes link these misinterpretations with potentially erroneous conclusions for educational theory, practice, or policy. To improve the status quo and make non-significant results more informative, we provide a detailed framework based on which researchers can design, conduct, and analyze studies that yield reliable evidence regarding the actual absence of an effect. In addition, we provide a competence model that researchers can use to guide their own research and teaching.
A Tutorial on Bayesian Multi-Model Linear Regression with BAS and JASP

Published: April 2020

Linear regression analyses commonly involve two consecutive stages of statistical inquiry. In the first stage, a single ‘best’ model is defined by a specific selection of relevant predictors; in the second stage, the regression coefficients of the winning model are used for prediction and for inference concerning the importance of the predictors. However, such second-stage inference ignores the model uncertainty from the first stage, resulting in overconfident parameter estimates that generalize poorly. These drawbacks can be overcome by model averaging, a technique that retains all models for inference, weighting each model’s contribution by its posterior probability. Although conceptually straightforward, model averaging is rarely used in applied research, possibly due to the lack of easily accessible software. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, we provide a tutorial on linear regression using Bayesian model averaging in JASP, based on the BAS package in R. Firstly, we provide theoretical background on linear regression, Bayesian inference, and Bayesian model averaging. Secondly, we demonstrate the method on an example data set from the World Happiness Report. Lastly, we discuss limitations of model averaging and directions for dealing with violations of model assumptions.
Analysis Of Power Generation Photovoltaic Array 9×10 Wp Under Shading Effect
Authors: Utami Dwi Prima Putri , Rajagukguk Antonius
Published: April 2020

There are several problems that can interfere with the performance of large-scale PV. One that enhances PV performance is shading on a PV module, that make interferes PV performance. This research studied about the effect of shading on the performance of large-scale PV systems through testing a 9 × 10 Wp miniature PV array and simulation using Matlab software. The use of diodes on a PV module can be done to prevent damage to the PV module due to shading. Through the power-voltage (P-V) and current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curves the effect of shading and the use of bypass and blocking diodes can be determined. Shading effect gave in a decrease in power in the PV module. From the results of this study note that the bypass diode and blocking diode output power generated by the PV module can be optimal.

Published: April 2020

Background: Canada was the first country to approve elbasvir/grazoprevir (EBR/GZR) for the treatment of chronic HCV infection for genotypes 1 and 4 with or without ribavirin and genotype 3 with sofosbuvir, with no recommendation for baseline resistance testing. The aim of this study was to describe the effectiveness of EBR/GZR and the profile of patients selected for treatment in a Canadian real-world setting. Methods: This multicenter retrospective study of HCV-infected patients treated with EBR/GZR took place among selected Canadian health care providers, with no exclusion criteria. Primary outcome measures included parameters associated with patient profile and sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR12) and 24 weeks after treatment. Results: A total of 408 patients were included; 244 had available SVR12 information (per-protocol population [PP]). Genotype distribution included 1a (54.7%), 1b (17.2%), 3 (11.8%), 4 (10.0%), and other (6.4%). The majority (88.7%) of participants were treated for 12 weeks without ribavirin. Fifty-nine (14.5%) participants, predominantly with genotype 1a (49/59) infection, were tested for baseline resistance-associated substitutions (bRAS). SVR12 was achieved by 95.9% of the PP. In an exploratory analysis assessing potential predictors of SVR12, participants who had undergone bRAS testing (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.03–0.64) and participants who had undergone liver transplant (OR 0.05, 95% CI 0.00–0.68) had significantly lower odds of achieving SVR12. Conclusions: This study supports the real-world effectiveness of EBR/GZR—including a broad range of genotypes and diverse fibrosis stages—in the absence of bRAS testing and in special populations.
An apparent, locally acquired case of rickettsialpox (Rickettsia akari) in Ontario, Canada
Authors: A Szakacs Tom , Wood Heidi , Russell Curtis B , Nelder Mark P , Patel Samir N
Published: April 2020

Rickettsialpox, caused by Rickettsia akari, is a spotted fever group rickettsiae transmitted to humans through the bite of the house mouse mite ( Liponyssoides sanguineus). Worldwide, rickettsialpox is most commonly associated with exposure to rodents in urban environments. Here, we present the case of a 47-year-old woman from Brantford, Ontario, with fever, eschar on the right leg, expanding erythema, and right groin lymphadenopathy. Early in infection, R. akari serology was negative (IgG <1:64), but convalescent titre increased to 1:1,024. The patient did not travel outside of Ontario in the previous year. She denied any rodent or arthropod exposures in her home, but recently visited a friend’s home infested with bats and mice. The patient was afebrile after treatment with doxycycline, with resolution of most clinical and laboratory findings in 5 days. This is the first rickettsialpox case reported in Canada and highlights the importance of obtaining convalescent serology to assist in the diagnosis of rickettsial infection.

In the information (post-industrial) society, a revolution in the media has taken place, allowing anyone to collect, process and create content, regardless of their educational background.The guarantor of the reliability of each blog, as in the case with traditional sources, should be its reputation, which is the key to its popularity. After all, blogs are an interactive phenomenon, and feedback will quickly let the authors feel the mood of the public and the direction of the prevailing trends. But traditional journalists, it seems, are not threatened with retirement, because many of them have their own blogs. In this light, it would probably be wrong to consider the veracity of blogs in isolation from the general context of the media.

ROLE OF T-786C ENDOTHELIAL GENE POLYMORPHISM OF NO - SYNTHASE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACUTE CONTRAST-INDUCED NEPHROPATHY IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE
Authors: Sagynbaeva G. A.  , Kaliev R. R.
Published: April 2020

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third considerable cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and makes up almost 10% of all acute kidney failure (AKF) cases.Objective. To study the role of polymorphism of eNOS-gene in the development of acute contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in case of coronary heart disease.Materials and methods. The prospective study was conducted in the National Cardiology and Therapy Center named after academician Mirsaid Mirahimov from 2015 to 2018. A total of 184 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) aged 33-70 years (average age 55.2 ± 8.5 years) were examined to determine possible associative relationships between eNOS gene polymorphism (T786C) and the development of acute CIN. Of these, the group without CIN was 152, and with the CIN there were 32 patients who underwent coronary angiographic examination (CAG). Radiopaque contrast agents Ultravist (Iopromide) and Omnipack (Iohexol) were used. CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine (Scr) concentration by more than 25% from the initial level or by more than 0.5 mg/dL (44.2 μmol/L) and a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after administration of an iodinated contrast agent within 48-72 hours in the absence of other reasons. A molecular genetic study was conducted to determine the T-786C polymorphism of the eNOS gene.Results. The genotype frequency of the TT gene in the group with CIN was 87.5%, and in the group without CIN 69.7%, the reliability was p <0.05. But the connection of acute CIN with the genotypes of TS and SS was not observed in both of the groups.Conclusions. TT genotype T-786C polymorphism of the eNOS gene is a risk factor for the development of acute contrast-induced in patients with coronary heart disease.

Published: April 2020

This paper is an attempt to analyze the poetry of Miss Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) contributed both American and World literature in order to reveal the extent of asceticism in it. Asceticism involves a deep, almost obsessive, concern with such problems as death, the life after death, the existence of the soul, immortality, the existence of God and heaven, the meaningless of life and etc. Her enthusiastic expressions of life in poems had influenced the development of poetry and became the source of inspiration for other poets and poetesses not only in last century but also in modern times. The paper clarifies the motives of spiritual asceticism, self-identity in Emily Dickenson’s poetry.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN CRISES RAVAGED AREAS: A STUDY ON THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF HUMANITARIAN SUPPORT BY NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS IN MAIDUGURI, NIGERIA
Authors: Abdullahi Muhammad , A. I. Chikaji
Published: April 2020

The insurgent group known as Boko Haram have carried out targeted assassinations, shootings and bombings, which led to deaths, destructions and displacements of Millions in north-eastern Nigeria. These crippled the region’s economic, cultural and social status, which attracted various forms of humanitarian supports from philanthropists, governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). It is against this backdrop that this paper examines the adverse effects of humanitarian supports by NGOs on socioeconomic development in Maiduguri, Nigeria. The study adopted qualitative approach using FGD in generating data from beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of humanitarian support in selected communities of Maiduguri. The study revealed government reluctances and over-reliance of people on the support provided by the NGOs. The standard of living has ascended because of the operations of NGOs. Supports provided by NGOs have further distorted the community’s social cohesion as it created various forms of domestic violence and conflict between displaced persons and host communities. In addition, it has increased social vice such as sexual exploitation and abuse in an effort to get provisions/employment. There are further continuous accusations that NGOs are supporting Boko Haram group with food and logistics. The study concluded that the operations of NGOs would contribute in prolonging the physical and social insecurity in crises ravaged areas if not adequately regulated/monitored. Thus, recommended that NGOs do more capacity building programmes than emergency relief supports. Governments should regulate the operations of NGOs by introducing strict policies that will force them to be transparent and accountable, and operate in line with counter-insurgency strategies.

Authors: PALPANADAN SARALA THULASI , Venosha Ravana
Published: April 2020

English as a second language (ESL) writing instructions demand a great deal of the teachers’ time and effort to prepare adequate writing lessons for their students. Teachers have to decide on the right approach to be selected as the instructional method to enhance students’ writing ability. Thus, this study investigates the preferred teaching practices (between the product and process approach) of 10 pre-service teachers’ in teaching writing and the effects on students’ written texts. The data were collected from observations, semi-structured interviews and students’ written texts. The data from the observation checklists were analyzed using Rasch Measurement Model which validated the study with a high value of alpha Cronbach (0.81). Thematic and textual analyses were conducted on participants’ views and the students’ written text respectively. The findings highlighted the pre-service teachers preferred to employ product approach as their main writing instruction where the students were found to prepare their written work based on the input provided to them. The students’ written work with linguistic accuracy was mainly focused but the students did not show much creatively. Thus, this study recommends that teachers should integrate process approach strategies into their writing instructions to enhance students’ writing more profoundly in the future.

A number
of studies in literature focus on seated workers and investigate physical
workload, related back/neck pain, environmental ergonomics such as
illumination, thermal comfort, cooperation, and work organization. Although,
the positioning of furniture and related units may directly or indirectly
influence the performance of workers, up-to best knowledge, the office layout
problem is not studied in detail. Therefore, this study aims to illustrate how
fractal layout concept can be adapted for cell type office layouts. The study
is novel because, the constraints of a basic mathematical model that is
originally defined for unequal area facility layout problem is redefined as to
meet the ergonomic requirements and generate a layout. Proposed approach is used
to solve the office layout problem in a university department. It is concluded
that the layout obtained by considering the closeness ratings defined by office
employees along with the redefined constraints outperforms the current layout.
Nuevos argumentos y políticas públicas para las zonas rurales latinoamericanas:
Authors: Ambrosio Albalá Mateo
Published: April 2020

La intervención pública en las zonas rurales ha incorporado en los últimos años nuevos argumentos y objetivos de actuación. La reactivación económica ampliada y los cambios en la gobernanza territorial han complementado el tradicional apoyo limitado a los agricultores y la actividad agraria. Argumentos y métodos similares a los aplicados en el medio rural de la Unión Europea están siendo incorporados en las propuestas de políticas públicas para intervenir en el medio rural latinoamericano. En las últimas décadas, múltiples iniciativas de desarrollo en zonas rurales latinoamericanas han impulsado la acción conjunta y ‘ascendente’ de agentes locales. Propuestas autóctonas latinoamericanas han incorporado la transformación productiva e institucional como ejes fundamentales de intervención en el medio rural. A pesar de que el apoyo ‘descendente’ firme y continuado ha sido una carencia evidente, también se observa una discusión emergente en torno a la inclusión de la ‘cohesión social’ como principio de política pública en los países latinoamericanos. Si bien estas tendencias resultan muy prometedoras, aún persisten limitantes institucionales y estructurales que pueden entorpecer una implementación efectiva.cómo

Published: April 2020

O Estado representa socialmente o detentor do poder político, a quem incumbe o exercício dos poderes legislativo, executivo e judiciário. Este poder é indicado como necessário para a convivência dos indivíduos, inclusive a sua própria existência por vezes é confundida com a existência da sociedade. Ao considerar a importante função que exerce, o Estado possui alguns elementos constitutivos, que segundo corrente majoritária da doutrina, são: soberania, povo, território e finalidade. A finalidade do Estado é vinculada à realização do bem comum e, nesse sentido, a legislação nacional e internacional dispõe de diversos elementos que o caracterizam como Estado Democrático de Direito, que observa um rol extenso de direitos e garantias fundamentais, incluindo direitos sociais. Nesse aspecto, o artigo abordará a previsão e implementação de normativas e políticas públicas voltadas à educação, como forma de capacitação para o mercado de trabalho, pleno desenvolvimento humano e principalmente acesso e promoção da cidadania. Para isso, serão apresentados os elementos do Estado e seu desenvolvimento, bem como os limites da atuação judicial.
What Makes the Gears Go ‘Round? Factors Influencing Bicycling to Suburban Regional Rail Stations
Authors: Graystone Matthew , Mitra Raktim
Published: April 2020

In North America, most suburban commuters who use rail transit drive and park at stations, offsetting some benefits of commuter rail. Using passenger survey data collected at three rail stations near Toronto, Canada, we explored the correlates of bicycling for station access trips in a suburban context. Other than automobile ownership, no socio-demographic characteristics were associated with the likelihood of bicycling. Frequency of bicycling for transportation and recreation, preference toward sustainable, and active transportation, and weather-related comfort were correlated with bicycling to a station. Street density along shortest travel route and having to cross a major highway were barriers to bicycling.

Research materials from fieldwork in Japan, 2013
Authors: Pellitteri Marco
Published: April 2020

Among the possible innovative ways to publish research data and materials—alongside the more established formats of the research paper, the academic article, and the critical review—we inaugurate here the format of the “Research Files”, batches of qualitative data which have been assessed as useful materials for other scholars. A certain amount of data which academics collect often remains underused. But such data, if contextualised within one’s own past research activity, can be kept “alive” and perhaps be reborn and virtuously transmitted to other researchers who may want to make some use of them, citing the original source and therefore generating a proficuous circle of knowledge. We decided to distribute a few of these materials over different issues of Mutual Images, grouping them by type. In this first instalment (presenting some early interviews from one of my own past projects), we are also suggesting a way to interpret the notion of “research files” for other scholars who in the future may want to experiment with it. The format of presentation we have thought of as appropriate—or, at least, admissible and functional—is that of recounting the general features of the original research project within which the data here published were produced, so to favour the circulation of ideas.

The Modelling of Exchange Rate Volatility Using Arch-Garch Models: The Case of Turkey
Authors: SEKMEN Fuat , Ravanoğlu Galip Afşin
Published: April 2020

This study investigates the most appropriate method for modelling the volatility for nominal exchange rate by using the ARCH type models. The research covers the period of 2002-2017 of nominal exchange rate using daily data. It is observed that the volatility of nominal exchange rate has the ARCH effect and the most appropriate model for forecasting the volatility of nominal exchange rate is GARCH(1,2) because it has the lowest Akaike Information Criterion. Furthermore, during the crises and uncertain periods, the volatility of nominal exchange rate series increases and volatility clustering is observed, meaning high volatility tends to follow high volatility and it is true for vice versa.

Türkmen Atasözlerinde Meslek Adları
Authors: DOĞAN Levent
Published: April 2020

Türkmen
sözlü edebiyatında atasözleri “nakıl”, deyimler “idioma” olarak adlandırılır. Tarihin
derinliklerinden günümüze süzülen atasözleri ve deyimler toplumların sosyo-kültürel
hayatının bir görüntüsü niteliğindedir. Her biri ustaca ve bilgece söylenmiş olan
bu sözlerde toplumun içinden pek çok kavram ve ayrıntı bir konu çevresinde anlatıma
incelikle yerleştirilerek işlenmiştir. Bu yüzden dilin manevi varlıkları
sayılan atasözleri ve deyimler bir milleti anlamak, görmek ve tanımak noktasında
üstlendikleri rol açısından çok önemlidirler.Mesleklerin
insan hayatında önemli bir yeri vardır. Ekonomik faaliyetler kapsamında bulunan
meslekler insanoğlunun varoluşuyla ortaya çıkmış ve insanların gereksinimleri
doğrultusunda günümüze kadar çeşitlenerek gelmiştir.

Bu
araştırmada Oğuz grubu (Güney-Batı) Türk lehçelerinin doğu kolunda yer alan
Türkmen Türkçesinin atasözü ve deyimlerinden hareketle Türkmenlere özgü
meslekler ortaya konulmuştur. Atasözlerine kıyasla deyimlerde daha az meslek
adına tesadüf edilmiştir. Çalışmada atasözleri ve deyimler dışında Türkmence
sözlüklerde geçen meslek adlarına da yer verilmiş ve çok sayıda mesleğe
ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca Türkmen atasözü ve deyimlerinden elde edilen meslek adları
ile Eski Türkçe Dönemi, Dîvânu Lugâti’t-Türk ve Kutadgu Bilig’de bulunan meslek adları
arasında bir kısım benzer sözcüklere rastlanmıştır.

Preparation of wastelage using poultry droppings with maize stover and its nutrient content as ruminant feed
Authors: Jamee MDK , Kabir AKMA , Islam SMA , Hossain MM , Khan MRI
Published: April 2020

An experiment was undertaken with caged layer excreta (CLE) treated maize stover and ensiled to investigate its potentiality as ruminant feed. Chopped maize stovers were preserved in plastic containers under airtight condition at room temperature based on the treatments as T0 (0% CLE), T1 (20% CLE), T2 (40% CLE) and T3 (60% CLE) to investigate physical quality, chemical composition, in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) and metabolizable energy (ME) content at 0, 30, 60 and 90 days. The CP and Ash were increased (P<0.01) and DM, OM and CF were decreased (P<0.01) in all the treatments (T1, T2 and T3) compared to controlled T0. The OM content was decreased numerically with the ensiling time. The EE content was not significant (P>0.01) with the treatments and ensiling time. The OMD and ME content were increased (P<0.01) with the ensiling time from 0 to 90 days. The physical quality (color, smell, and hardness) of maize stover were improved by CLE added treatments (T1, T2 and T3) after ensiling but 60% CLE treatment had some pungent smell in 90 days and less OMD and ME value was observed than that of T2. Considering all the physical and chemical properties, among all the treatments, 40% and 60% CLE are acceptable for preparing wastelage. By comparing physical quality, nutritive value and chemical composition between 40% and 60% CLE treatments, the 60% CLE was better. Thus wastelage prepared from 40% CLE, 55% maize stover along with 5% molasses will be a potential source of ruminant feed as well as reduce the environment pollution by utilizing CLE.

AGE-RELATED FEATURES OF POSTURAL STABILITY IN ELDERLY WOMEN
Authors: Dyomin A. V. , Gudkov A. B. , Popova O. N. , Shcherbina F. A.
Published: April 2020

The aim of this paper is to study the age-related features of the components of the postural balance (CPB) in elderly women with preserved postural stability. Methods. In total, 424 women aged 60-69 years who did not experience a single fall in the last 12 months were examined. Women were divided into two groups: 60-64 years old (n = 251) and 65-69 years old (n = 173). To assess the CPB, a Sensory Organization Test (SOT) of the Computerized Dynamic Posturography «Smart Equitest Balance Manager» was performed. Results. When analyzing the quality indicators of the equilibrium function in functional tests 1-4 and 6, as well as the postural maintaining strategy (PMS) in 1-6 SOT conditions, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups (p > 0.1), but quality indicators of the equilibrium function in test 5 in women 65-69 years old were greater (p = 0.045) than in their younger counterparts. Quality indicators of the equilibrium function and SOT PMS did not differ between the groups indicating that women 65-69 years old who did not experience falls did not show changes in adaptive capabilities, as well as static and statodynamic neurophysiological mechanisms to maintain the balance. Analysis of somatosensory and visual (visual-spatial) information in balance control also did not reveal age-related changes between the groups. However, vestibular information indicators in monitoring balance maintenance in women 65-69 years old were higher (p = 0.045). Conclusions. The indicators of the equilibrium function in test 5 and the effectiveness of vestibular information in controlling the balance of women after 64 years will determine the preservation of postural stability functions and may have a beneficial effect on their life expectancy, and also determine the risk of premature changes in CPB.
