Authors: Filho Antonio , Magalhães Lucélia , Brustolim Danielle , da Silva Diorlene , de Castro Roberta , Bessa Larissa ,   VASCOR grupo VASCOR
Published: March 2020

Introduction

Central pressure (CP) has been shown to be more reliable in cardiovascular mortality than peripheral. Previous studies correlate the relationship between CP increase and urinary potassium excretion.

Methods

A population-based cross-sectional study representative of a neighborhood of Salvador-Ba, Brazil, distributed in 12 census tracts according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The overall sample is randomized in adults from the assigned area from December 2016 to May 2019. Individual and household records are filled out. The CP, measured in the radial artery, obtained through aplanation tonometry, using the SphygmoCor® apparatus (XCEL, AtCor Medical, Sydney, Australia, [2] with confidence ≥85%). CP is evaluated directly by the central systolic pressure equipment and central diastolic blood pressures collected, blood and urine of 24 hours of urinary potassium were quantified by the ADVIA 1800® selective ion electrode (SiemensHealthcare Japan/Canada). All participants signed a Free and Informed Consent Form. Frequency and descriptive measures (mean, standard deviation), Spearman’s linear correlation coefficient between CP and K+ were stratified by age and sex, using STATA v.12 software for treatment and generation of results, and the level of statistical significance of 5%.

Results

A total of 145 individuals with a predominance of females (70.3%). The CP and excretion of potassium in the female sex was directly proportional, whereas in the male sex the ratio was inversely proportional, but in both groups there wasn’t statistical significance.

Conclusion

The results obtained weren’t adequate for the literature. A larger sample is needed for accuracy in this group.

Published: March 2020

ABSTRAK Hepatitis B dan C dianggap paling berbahaya diantara jenis hepatitis yang lain karena keduanya dapat berkembang menjadi penyakit kronik, sering tanpa gejala, dan menyebabkan kematian. Salah satu upaya yang disarankan oleh WHO untuk mencegah peningkatan angka Hepatitis B dan C adalah melakukan kegiatan edukasi kesehatan bagi masyarakat, khususnya kelompok beresiko tinggi seperi Warga Binaan Pemasyarakatan (WBP). Oleh sebab itu, kegiatan penyuluhan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan WBP terkait penyebab, gejala, cara penularan, pencegahan, dan layanan kesehatan yang disediakan oleh pemerintah. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (Lapas) Narkotika Kelas IIA Bandung dengan jumlah peserta sebanyak 30 orang WBP. Penyuluhan dilaksanakan dengan metode ceramah. Evaluasi kegiatan dilakukan dengan cara menganalisis hasil kuesioner dan nilai tes para peserta. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif. Hasil evaluasi membuktikan bahwa mayoritas WBP melakukan tindakan beresiko tinggi karena keterbatasan pengetahuan dan informasi, namun setelah mendapatkan materi penyuluhan terlihat adanya peningkatan nilai tes pada seluruh peserta. Kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan WBP di Lapas Narkotika Kelas IIA Bandung terkait penyebab, gejala klinis, cara penularan, pencegahan, serta beberapa layanan kesehatan pemerintah untuk mencegah, mendiagnosa, serta mengobati penyakit Hepatitis B dan C.Kata Kunci: hepatitis B; hepatitis C; penyuluhan; lembaga pemasyarakatanABSTRACTHepatitis B and C are considered as the most dangerous hepatitis types compared to the other, because both can develop into chronic diseases, asymptomatic, and cause death. One of the methods suggested by WHO to prevent an increase of Hepatitis B and C numbers is to conduct health education activities for the community, especially for the high-risk groups such as prisoners (WBP). Therefore, the aim of this extension activity was to upgrade the WBP's knowledge regarding the disease causes, symptoms, transmission methods, prevention, and health services provided by the government. This activity was conducted in Bandung Narcotics Penitentiary class IIA, with 30 WBP participants. The extention was done by the lecture method. Then, the activity evaluation was done by analyzing of questionnaire results and participants' test-scores. Besides, the analysis technique used was descriptive analysis. The evaluation result proved that the majority of WBP taking the high-risk action due to the limited of knowledge and information, but there was a test-score increase for all participants after obtaining counseling materials. This activity was successful to improve the WBP's knowledge in Bandung Narcotics Penitentiary class IIA related to the causes, clinical symptoms, modes of transmission, prevention, and also some government health services to prevent, diagnose, and treat the Hepatitis B and C.Keywords : extension; hepatitis B; hepatitis C; prison.

Authors: Bredy Somia , Jandora Jan
Published: March 2020

The Karolinka earth-fill dam was constructed between 1977 and 1984 on the Stanovnice river above the town of Karolinka in the region of Vsetínsko in Czech Republic. Because of leakage on the downstream dam face due to technological indiscipline when filling dam layers during the dam construction stage, there were some steps to improve state dam safety. The final rehabilitation is to construct the diaphragm walls from self-hardening cement-bentonite suspension along the length of the dam. In addition to connecting the gallery and abutment (2 × 25 m long) by using jet piles. The article presents numerical modeling of safety factor evaluation associated with the state of the dam body and foundation; before, and after sealing. Also, studying the effect of dam height on its stability by using finite element method is performed by the Plaxis 3D program in the case study of Karolinka dam. It is concluded that measured data shows good agreement with the computed result.

Authors: Pilau Felipe Gustavo , Battisti Rafael , Dalmago Genei Antonio
Published: March 2020

A variabilidade interanual da produtividade de soja no Rio Grande do Sul tem como principal causa a deficiência hídrica e a irrigação suplementar é uma das alternativas para estabilizar a produtividade. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi quantificar a demanda de irrigação suplementar e a eficiência climática para a soja no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A demanda de irrigação suplementar (NI, mm) foi quantificada a partir de balanços hídricos para 33 safras, datas de semeadura de 15/10, 15/11 e 15/12, e capacidade máxima de água disponível no solo (CAD) de 30 mm, 50 mm e 70 mm para 10 locais, usados para extrapolar os resultados para o estado. As simulações consideraram ciclo de 120 dias entre semeadura e maturação. O limite de 50% da CAD foi utilizado como referencial para realizar a irrigação. Com o modelo da Zona Agroecológica foi determinada a eficiência climática com o uso da irrigação (ECI). A suplementação hídrica simulada manteve uma ECI mínima de 0,76. Para as principais zonas de produção as NI são menores para semeadura tardia. No cenário mais otimista, lavouras semeadas em 15/12, em solos com CAD de 70 mm, terão NI máximas de 160 mm em 75% dos anos.

EFFECTS OF LANGUAGE AND PRIOR KNOWLEDGE LEVELS ON HYPERTEXT READING COMPREHENSION
Authors: Jose Kshema
Published: March 2020

This
study observed how two hypertext features – absence of a linear or
author-specified order and availability of multiple reading aids – influence
reading comprehension processes of ESL readers. Studies with native or highly
proficient users of English, have suggested that readers reading hypertexts
comprehend better than readers reading print texts. This was attributed to (i)
presence of hyperlinks that provide access to additional information that can
potentially help overcome comprehension obstacles and (ii) the absence of an
author-imposed reading order that helps readers exercise cognitive flexibility.
An aspect that remains largely un-researched is how well readers with low
language competence comprehend hypertexts. This research sought to initiate
research in the area by exploring the question: Do all ESL readers comprehend a
hypertext better than a print text?

Keeping
in mind the fact that a majority of readers reading online texts in English can
be hindered by three types of comprehension deficits – low levels of language
proficiency, non-availability of prior knowledge, or both – this study investigated
how two characteristic features of hypertext, viz., linking to additional
information and non-linearity in presentation of information, affect reading
comprehension of ESL readers.

Two
types of texts that occur in the electronic medium – linear or pre-structured texts
and non-linear or self-navigating texts, were used in this study. Based on a
comparison of subjects’ comprehension outcomes and free recalls, text factors
and reader factors that can influence hypertext reading comprehension of ESL readers
are identified.

Contradictory to what
many researchers believe, results indicate that self-navigating hypertexts
might not promote deep comprehension in all ESL readers.

Published: March 2020

In the clinic of various diseases (especially hematological) Budd-Chiari syndrome occupies a signifi cant place. The occurrence of blood fl ow disorders in the portal vein system can be a manifestation and the only symptom that manifests itself in a number of diseases. Given the rapid development of portal hypertension, this syndrome requires rapid diagnosis and timely initiated therapeutic measures, as well as comprehensive research to identify the etiological cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome.

Objectives: In this paper we demonstrated a clinical case of a young patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome, an unusual course and a combination of etiological factors.

Materials and methods. Data from the medical history of the patient who was on treatment at the surgical department of the City Multi-profile Hospital № 2, Military-medical Academy St. Petersburg were used as materials.

Result. The patient developed severe ascites 3 months after delivery, for which she was unsuccessfully examined by gynecologists to exclude ovarian tumors. Then, in the course of laboratory and instrumental studies, a final diagnosis was made of Budd-Chiari syndrom (thrombosis of the intrahepatic part of the inferior vena cava in the phase of partial recanalization against the background of chronic myeloproliferative disease and genetically determined thrombophilia.

Conclusion: As this case shows, in the development of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, it is necessary to exclude hepatic thrombosis, in the detection of which it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive examination to exclude all causes of this thrombosis (genetic analysis for thrombophylia, antiphospholipid syndrome, Jak-2 v617f for exclude polycythemia and myelofi brosis, examination for cancer pathology). Manifestation and the only symptom of thrombophilia and idiopathic myelofi brosis may be acute Budd-Chiari syndrome, which requires complex medical and surgical treatment, further observation and especially treatment of causal diseases.

Authors: Galushko M. Yu. , Ishchenko A. Yu. , Pozdniakov S. A. , Bakulin I. G.
Published: March 2020

Aims: 1. To evaluate the applicability of The Expert Assessment (EA) based on the algorithm developed by the authors in performance assessment of transient elastography by M-probe (TE-M) and XL-probe (TE-XL), Fibrotest® (FT), shear wave elastography (SWE) and liver biopsy (LB) in fibrosis staging in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients in an approach without a «gold» standard; 2. To evaluate the quality of the proposed model (EA efficacy) in comparison with the results of the Rasch Model (MR) being an extension of the Latent Variable Analysis.

Material and methods. Using the five studied diagnostic methods liver fibrosis staging was performed in chronic hepatitis C patients. Based on the algorithm developed EA was applied to each patient of the cohort and as a result fibrosis stage was established. That fibrosis stage considered a virtual reference. Sensitivity and specificity estimation as well as AUC calculation for studied methods was performed against the reference standard. The quality of the model (EA efficacy) estimated in the Rasch Model (MR) being an extension of the Latent Variable Analysis.

Results. 99 patients with reliable results of each of the five diagnostic methods were included into the study. The main characteristics of the cohort were: 59.6% individuals of male gender, average age of 37 years (21–63), median BMI of 25.8 kg / m2. As per the results of the EA in detecting of mild fibrosis (F1), the values of AUC, sensitivity and specificity were, respectively: 0,972; 94,3; 91,3 for TE-M; 0,964; 90,6; 91,3 for TE-XL; 0,806; 81,1; 73,9 for FT; 0,907; 88,7; 71,7 for SWE; 0,832; 92,5; 37,0 for LB. In detecting of moderate fibrosis (F2), the appropriate values were: 0,981; 93,8; 94,0 for TE-M; 0,967; 90,6; 97,0 for TE-XL; 0,873; 75,0; 80,6 for FT; 0,957; 84,4; 91,0 for SWE; 0,937; 90,6; 94,0 for LB. In detecting of significant fibrosis (F3), the corresponding values were: 0,994; 95,5; 96,1 for TE-M; 0,987; 90,9; 97,4 for TE-XL; 0,870; 63,6; 84,4 for FT; 0,961; 86,4; 97,4 for SWE; 0,990; 90,9; 98,7 for LB. In detecting cirrhosis (F4), the appropriate values were: 0,995; 92,3; 97,7 for TE-M; 0,994; 100,0; 98,8 for TE-XL; 0,874; 38,5; 93,0 for FT; 0,996; 92,3; 100,0 for SWE; 0,964; 69,2; 100,0 for LB. The EA was shown to have high degree of consistency (correlation coefficient = 0,923; p <0,05) when compared to the MR.

Conclusion. The EA was shown as a highly informative approach, applicable for performance assessment of the diagnostic methods for liver fibrosis staging without using LB as the “gold” standard. Non-invasive methods have demonstrated higher diagnostic characteristics with changing the standard from the traditional (LB) to virtual (EA). The high degree of consistency of the results of EA and MR confirm the high quality of the algorithm developed by the authors.

Псороптоз кролів – надзвичайно поширене в Україні акариформне захворювання кролів. Хвороба вражає тварин, починаючи з 2-ох місячного віку, її збудником є акариформний кліщ виду Psoroptes cuniculi (Delafond, 1859). Хвороба проявляється ураженням переважно внутрішньої поверхні однієї чи обох вушних раковин, утворенням у них масивних, щільних кірок і пробок, що супроводжується виникненням різного характеру отиту, розчісуванням уражених вух кінцівками, поширенням запаль-ного процесу на шкіру основи вушних раковин, на шию та кінцівки і переходом його на середнє і внутрішнє вухо з подальшим ускладненням менінгітом. У статті наведені результати досліджень що-до лікувальної ефективності олії з часником 10 %, озонованої оливкової олії й бровермектину 2%(1 мл препарату містить 20 мг івермектину) та їхнього впливу на гематологічні показники у кролів.Для проведення досліду в умовах приватного господарства с. Бобрівник Зіньківського району Полта-вської області було сформовано 3 групи кролів (n=6) віком 9‒12 міс. породи Фландр, спонтанно ура-жених вушним кліщем P. cuniculi. Кров для гематологічних досліджень відбирали до початку ліку-вання та на 14-ту добу. Олію з часником та озоновану оливкову олію застосовували місцево тричічерез день, а бровермектин 2 % перорально впродовж 5-ти діб. Ефективність лікувальних обробокоцінювали за показниками екстенс- та інтенсефективності (ЕЕ та ІЕ) на 14-ту добу від початкулікування. Застосовані олії й офіцинальний препарат не мали побічних ефектів, що підтверджуєть-ся клінічними спостереженнями. У разі ураження кролівв кліщами P. cuniculi лікувальна ефектив-ність олії з часником 10 %, озонованої оливкової олії і бровермектину 2 % на 14-ту добу становить100 %. Псороптозна інвазія у кроликів проявляється змінами показників кровоносного русла, а саме:еритроцитопенією, лейкоцитопенією, лімфоцитопенією, зниженням вмісту гемоглобіну та моноци-тозом. Після лікування кролів на 14-ту добу показники кров’яного русла поступово приходили до но-рми, про що свідчило достовірне підвищення вмісту гемоглобіну, кількості еритроцитів, лейкоцитіві лімфоцитів (p<0,05) та зменшення кількості моноцитів (p<0,05).

Індивідуальні особливості діяльності нервової системи обумовлюють різний рівень обміну речо-вин в організмі, стійкість до впливу стресових факторів та швидкість пристосування до мінливих умов навколишнього середовища. Мета статті – з’ясувати вплив кортико-вегетативних механізмів регуляції на показники обміну вуглеводів у крові холостих свиноматок. Типи вищої нервової діяльнос-ті в холостих свиноматок великої білої породи 3-річного віку визначали за допомогою методики умо-вних харчових рефлексів, тонус автономної нервової системи досліджували тригеміновагальним те-стом. У плазмі крові свиноматок визначали вміст лактату та пірувату, для оцінки взаємозв’язку та впливу кортико-вегетативних механізмів регуляції проводили кореляційний та дисперсійний аналізи отриманих даних. Результати досліджень показали, що існує взаємозв’язок між показниками умов-но-рефлекторної діяльності, типом автономної регуляції серцевого ритму у свиноматок та вмістом лактату у плазмі крові. Виявлені вірогідні відмінності за вмістом лактату у плазмі крові між сви-номатками з різними типами автономної регуляції серцевого ритму. За даними дисперсійного аналі-зу, ваготонія чинить вірогідний вплив на вміст лактату у плазмі крові – η2х=0,34 (р<0,05). Окрім то-го, встановлено тісні взаємозв’язки між вмістом лактату у плазмі крові і ваготонією (r=0,91; p<0,01) та симпатикотонією (r=-0,64; p<0,01). Залежно від типологічних особливостей вищої нер-вової діяльності встановлено, що у свиноматок сильного врівноваженого рухливого типу вміст лак-тату у плазмі крові нижчий (на 15,06–15,96 %; р<0,05) порівняно зі свиноматками сильного врівно-важеного інертного та слабкого типів. З’ясовано, що рухливість процесів збудження і гальмування в корі великого мозку взаємопов’язана із вмістом лактату у плазмі крові (r=-0,46; р<0,05) та чинить на нього вірогідний вплив (η2х=0,36; р<0,01). Натомість, кортико-вегетативні механізми регуляції не мають вірогідного впливу на вміст пірувату у плазмі крові та співвідношення лактат/піруват. От-же, отримано нові наукові дані щодо впливу кортико-вегетативних механізмів регуляції на окремі показники обміну вуглеводів у крові холостих свиноматок великої білої породи.

Published: March 2020

Нематодози є нерозв’язаною проблемою в господарствах, які займаються вирощуванням великої рогатої худоби. Для молодняка великої рогатої худоби актуальним є інвазування неоаскарисами. Па-разитування неоаскарисів призводить до розладів органів травлення, появу бронхопневмоній парази-тарної етіології. Тварини відстають у рості та розвитку, а у разі високої інтенсивності інвазії ги-нуть. Метою нашої роботи було з’ясувати поширення неоаскарозу телят в умовах дрібних фермер-ських господарств Сумської області. Для досягнення мети необхідно було розв’язати такі задачі: провести лабораторне дослідження фекалій, здійснити аналіз впливу антропогенних чинників, тех-нологічних схем вирощування тварин, санітарно-гігієнічних умов у господарствах на поширення нео-аскарозу. Роботу виконували на базі лабораторії кафедри епізоотології та паразитології Сумського національного аграрного університету, а також в умовах фермерських господарств Сумської області. Дослідженню піддавали різні вікові групи молодняка, зокрема 1–3 міс., 4–5 міс. та 6–12 міс. Для копроовоскопії застосовували стандартизований метод флотації з розчином нітрату амонію за Г. О. Котельниковим та В. М. Хреновим. За результатами проведених досліджень встановлено по-ширення неоаскарозу телят в умовах фермерських господарств Сумської області.

ANALISA BENTUK MUSIKAL NYAYIAN LEGO-LEGO PADA MASYARAKAT ALOR DI NTT. Jurnal FORTE Volume 1 Nomor 1 Edisi Jan-Des 2019
Authors: Iswanto
Published: March 2020

Wujud musikal merupakan gambaran ekspresif dalam sebuah nyanyian. Paradigma etnomusikologi memberikan warna yang cukup kompleks untuk dapat mendeskripsikan nyanyian dan masyarakat. Ragam gerak, lirik, hentakan, dinamika dapat dipandang sebagai episodik memory dari sebuah kognisi sosial. Lego-lego merupakan seni tradisi masyarakat Alor yang merupakan perpaduan antara tarian, nyanyian, dan musik yang adalah satu kesatuan yang tidak bisa terpisahkan. Khusus di desa Lendola, ada beberapa lagu yang biasa dinyanyikan dalam tarian Lego-lego. Penelitian ini akan mengambil data nyanyian “ Bala He Loni Kai” (lagu ini mempunyai dua versi yaitu untuk nyanyian Perang dan Ratapan. Metode yang digunakan ialah analisis konten sesuai pendapat Krippendorff K. Analisa bentuk musikal nyanyian lego-lego di desa Lendola pada nyanyian lagu “ Bala He Loni Kai” menunjukkan penggunaan figur repetition (pengulang) sinkron dengan penggunaan motif sebagai partikel tematik. Kadens yang digunakan dalam nyanyian ini ialah kadens autentik seperti pada birama 58. Selain itu dijumpai pula akor plagal dan half cadance seperti pada birama 18. Pola frasa mengikuti pola kadens berulang pada nyanyian lego-lego. Sedangkan pola kalimat juga sangat jelas terlihat dari syairnya yang berupa resiprokal berbalas-balasan. Temuan baru (Novelty) dalam penelitian ini ialah nyanyian lego-lego sebagai nyanyian etnik memiliki keteraturan struktur bentuk musikalnya. Hal ini ditandai dengan sinkronisasi bentuk nyayian dan struktuk musikal Leon Stain, walaupun secara etnomusikologi kedua hal tersebut sangat berbeda karena Leon Stain berdasarkan struktur musik barat sedangkan nyanyian lego-lego memiliki motif-motif tematis yang tidak terdapat dalam struktur musik barat.
Authors’ Response to Reply: Ketogenic diet activates protective γδ T cell responses against influenza virus infection

We are glad for the broad interest and readership our recent publication “Ketogenic diet activates protective γδ T cell responses against influenza virus infection” has received. The goal of our study was to understand how the immune system might be involved in mediating the surprising protection against lethal influenza A virus infection we observed when we fed mice a ketogenic diet (KD) for one week. What made our findings particularly intriguing is that robust protective changes were occurring in the lungs, the site of influenza infection and, importantly, not a tissue traditionally considered in manipulations of systemic metabolism, and that these protective changes were γδ T cell-dependent. Amidst this enthusiasm, Bass et al. have raised concern about the control diets used in our experiments, specifically with regards to the protein, fiber, and micronutrient content. We welcome critical feedback and appreciate the opportunity to respond to these criticisms.

Published: March 2020

This research aims to describe the Syrian refugee representations of the participants who identify themselves as Turk (advantaged group) or Kurd (disadvantaged group) in the context of social identity and realistic conflict and to examine the relationship of these representations with the participants' ingroup identifications. We conducted a semi-structured interview with 34 participants (16 women, Mage = 39.6) and measured participants' ingroup identifications. The representations of the participants about Syrian refugees were grouped under seven negative themes as follows); the economic burden and financial threat Syrian, cultural pollutant Syrian, societal destructive Syrian, immigrant Syrian, Syrian who fled from own homeland, beggar and homeless Syrian, Syrian with many children. Consistency among judges for all themes was found to be above the acceptable threshold. Greater ingroup identification is associated with having more financial threat Syrian representation. However, ingroup identification did not predict the power of financial threat Syrian representation. Syrian refugees are represented more as a financial threat than as a cultural pollutant. No difference was observed between Turks and Kurds in terms of the having representation of Syrian refugees as a financial or cultural threat. We discussed the findings in the context of social identity, intergroup competition, realistic and symbolic threat, and how these negative representations about Syrian refugees could be transformed to prevent possible social problems.
Using evolutionary algorithms to uncover individual differences in how humans represent facial emotion

How humans perceive and represent emotional facial expressions critically guides social interactions and has a profound impact on social cognition. However, much emotion research to date is potentially flawed by relying on the assumption that people represent categorical emotions in the same way, using standardised stimulus sets and therefore overlooking important individual differences in emotion processing. To resolve this problem, we developed a task using Genetic Algorithms and derived participant-generated emotional expressions from 105 individuals. A separate group (N=108) was then asked to identify the expression on these faces. Taken together, results showed relative population-level consistency in the representation of happy faces alongside a high degree of variability in the representation of fear and sadness. High test-retest reliability was observed. This novel method enables the efficient quantification of variation in how people represent emotional expressions, presenting promising advances for the study of individual differences in social cognition and emotion processing.

Authors: Bell Beth
Published: March 2020

Self-harm is a prevalent issue amongst young people, yet itis thought around 40% will never seek professional help dueto stigma surrounding it. It is generally a way of coping withemotional distress and can have a range of triggers which arehighly heterogeneous to the individual. In a move towards enhancingthe accessibility of personalized interventions for selfharm,we undertook a three-stage study. We first conductedinterviews with 4 counsellors in self-harm to understand howthey clinically respond to self-harm triggers. We then ran asurvey with 37 young people, to explore perceptions of mobilesensing, and current and future uses for smartphone-basedinterventions. Finally, we ran a workshop with 11 young peopleto further explore how a context-aware self-managementapplication might be used to support them. We contribute anin-depth understanding of how triggers for self-harm mightbe identified and subsequently predicted and prevented usingmobile-sensing technology.
The time-course of moral perception: An ERP investigation of the moral pop-out effect

Published: March 2020

Humans are highly attuned to perceptual cues about their values. A growing body of evidence suggests that people selectively attend to moral stimuli. However, it is unknown whether morality is prioritized early in perception or much later in cognitive processing. We use a combination of behavioral methods and electroencephalography to investigate how early in perception moral words are prioritized relative to non-moral words. The behavioral data replicate previous research indicating that people are more likely to correctly identify moral than non-moral words in a modified lexical decision task. The electroencephalography data reveal that words are distinguished from non-words as early as 200 milliseconds after onset over frontal brain areas, and moral words are distinguished from non-moral words 100 milliseconds later over left-posterior cortex. Further analyses reveal that differences in brain activity to moral vs. non-moral words cannot be explained by differences in arousal associated with the words. These results suggest that moral content might be prioritized in conscious awareness after an initial perceptual encoding but before subsequent memory processing or action preparation. This work offers a more precise theoretical framework for understanding how morality impacts vision and behavior.
The Development of the Mental Representation of Numbers 0-10 in Elementary School Children

Published: March 2020

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development of mental number line (MNL) representation examined using a number-to-position task. In the present study, we investigated the development of number representation on a 0-10 number line using a computerized version of the number-to-position task on a touchscreen, with restricted response time; 181 children from first through sixth grade were tested. We found that the pattern of estimated number position on the physical number line was best fit by the sigmoidal curve function–which was characterized by underestimation of small numbers and overestimation of large numbers–and that the breakpoint changed with age. Moreover, we found that significant developmental leaps in MNL representation occurred between the first and second grades and again between the second and third grades, which was reflected in the establishment of the right endpoint and the number 5 as anchor points, yielding a more accurate placement of other numbers along the number line.
Sustaining citizen science beyond an emergency
Authors: Calyx Cobi
Published: March 2020

Digital volunteers can act as emergency responders through participating in citizen science. In these contexts, what happens when a project or emergency ends? This article explores aspects of citizen science sustainability, such as what happens when a platform is retired and after the urgency of an emergency. It argues for the importance of open data in citizen science, both in platform design and in citizen science outputs, to support active citizenship and sustainability beyond a funding cycle. This article discusses open datasets developed during the Ebola outbreak response in 2014 and the role of collaborative repositories such as GitHub in enabling uses beyond any particular citizen science project. How citizen scientists can creatively contribute in ways aligned with humanitarian aims is explored, emphasising benefits of open licensing for promoting active citizenship and humanitarian disaster responses.
Bittersweet Symphony: Nostalgia and Melancholia in Music Reception
Authors: Toth Roland , Dienlin Tobias
Published: March 2020

Listening to music can cause experiences of nostalgia and melancholia. Although both concepts are theoretically related, to date they have not been analyzed together regarding their emotional and cognitive profiles. In this study, we identify their theoretical underpinnings and determine how they can be measured empirically. We analyze how listening to music causes nostalgia and melancholia, and whether both experiences are related to different behavioral intentions. To this end, we conducted an online experiment with 359 participants who listened to music they considered either nostalgic, melancholic, or neutral. Afterward, participants answered 122 questionnaire items related to nostalgia and melancholia. Using Structural Equation Modeling, and more specifically Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes Modeling, we first developed two new scales: the Formative Nostalgia Scale and the Formative Melancholia Scale. Both scales consist of five items each. Results showed that listening to music indeed increased nostalgia and melancholia. Although considerably different, the concepts are related. Listening to nostalgic music increases melancholia, whereas listening to melancholic music does not increase nostalgia. Also, both experiences are related to different behavioral intentions. Whereas experiencing nostalgia was associated with a stronger intention to share the music and to listen to it again, experiencing melancholia revealed the exact opposite relation.

Identifying Key Epistemological Challenges Evaluating in Indigenous Contexts: Achieving Bimaadiziwin through Youth Futures
Authors: Shepherd Robert P. , Graham Katherine A. H.
Published: March 2020

Abstract: The evaluation field’s understanding of Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies must improve in ways that do not serve to privilege Western ways of knowing or governmental priorities for accountability. The literature has not identified ways to bridge these in practical ways, or to move the field to balance community and government needs. This article describes some prevailing epistemological and methodological issues related to evaluation and then identifies practical challenges bridging Western and Indigenous approaches, using the example of the Indigenous Youth Futures Partnership project (IYFP), a seven-year SSHRC-sponsored grant. It is suggested that there are approaches that work well in these contexts but that agency is vitally important to establish reciprocity.
A novel hybrid Harris hawks-simulated annealing algorithm and RBF-based metamodel for design optimization of highway guardrails
Authors: Kurtuluş Enes , Yıldız Ali Rıza , Sait Sadiq M. , Bureerat Sujin
Published: March 2020

In this paper, a novel hybrid optimization algorithm is introduced by hybridizing a Harris hawks optimization algorithm(HHO) and simulated annealing for the purpose of accelerating its global convergence performance and optimizing structural design problems. This paper is the first research study in which the hybrid Harris hawks simulated annealing algorithm (HHOSA) is used for the optimization of design parameters for highway guardrail systems. The HHOSA is evaluated using the well-known benchmark problems such as the three-bar truss problem, cantilever beam problem, and welded beam problem. Finally, a guardrail system that has an H1 containment level as a case study is optimized to investigate the performance of the HHOSA. The guardrail systems are designed with different cross-sections and distances between the posts. TB11 and TB42 crash analyses are performed according to EN 1317 standards. Twenty-five different designs are evaluated considering weight, the guardrail working width, and the acceleration severity index (ASI). As a result of this research, the optimum design of a guardrail is obtained, which has a minimum weight and acceleration severity index value (ASI). The results show that the HHOSA is a highly effective approach for optimizing real-world design problems.
Impact strength of cemented implant interfaces
Authors: Kocak Sait , Sekercioglu Tezcan
Published: March 2020

Bone cement is a polymer used as filler material for the attachment of bone to implants in cemented joint replacements. Stronger interdigitation of the bone cement with both the implant and the bone provides a more durable surgical intervention. In previous studies published in the literature to date, tensile, shear and multi-axial stress occurring on the interfaced surfaces of the cement due to static and dynamic loads acting on the femur have been tested. This study investigated the impact strength of both implant-cement and cement-bone interfaces in a cemented implant. The effects of different implant materials, blasting sand particle size and cement mantle thickness on impact strength were investigated. It was determined that the surface roughness values of the implant materials increased as larger blasting sand particles were applied. As the surface roughness increased, the interfacial impact strength also increased. The impact strength of the cement-bone interface was higher than that of the implant-cement interface. The optimum mantle thickness in terms of impact strength was found to be 2 mm. Under impact force, failure will occur at the implant-bone cement interface.
