Published: August 2022

Decision making for taking screening is an important component in preventing cervical cancer, but still many women who have not yet done it due to a lack of knowledge and decision-making ability.  Development of intervention tailored to the stages of decision-making based on the Precaution  Adoption  Process  Model,  such as training,  is able to improve decision-making ability to do the screening. This study aimed to determine the differences in the effect of training on decision-making for cervical cancer screening based on PAPM in the UPT Griya Antapani Health Center Bandung. This quasi-experimental study with two group pre-test post-test design involved  84  women aged  30-49  years who were chosen by purposive and proportional cluster sampling from two villages divided into  42  respondents each. Group  A received training with PowerPoint media,  leaflets,  videos, and WhatsApp while group  B received training with PowerPoint media, leaflets, and videos. The data of decision-making was collected using the  Precaution Adoption Process Model checklist:  before,  after training, and  15  days after training then analyzed using  Friedman test and  Mann  Whitney test.  The results showed that there were differences in decision-making in each group before and after training with p <0.001 but Mann Whitney test showed that there was no difference in decision-making between groups after training (p = 1,000 and p = 0.316). This depicted that any method and media can be used to change decision-making. Providing training and counseling is needed according to the stages of decision-making taking into account the factors that influence it.  Keywords: Cervical Cancer, Decision-making, Screening, the Precaution Adoption Process Model

Published: August 2022

Introduction: A wasting case is on the top rank after stunting. In 2018, the waste rate in Indonesia consisted of 10.2%.  Objectives:  This research aims to review the parental pattern concerning the wasting occurrence of children, especially toddlers.  Methods:  This research applied a literature study. The data searches were done with journal searching sites, such as Google Cendekia. The applied sample was purposive sampling. Results: Children that did not obtain immunization had 3.3 and 3.8 higher possibilities to suffer stunting and wasting than those who obtained immunization. Children without immunization had risks toward various diseases that actually could be prevented by the vaccine. Most children consumed mealy meals. Toddlers that obtained exclusive breast milk had normal status with a percentage of 80%. The dietary habits before the age of 6 years old had risks because the digesting system could not handle the complex nutrition. Thus, toddlers will be susceptible to allergens of the meals. The unprotected water source but is consumed was 57.65%. Thus, the parental pattern had correlations with the wasting occurrence, especially concerning nutrition, breast milk, immunization, and cleanliness. Conclusions:  The parental pattern toward wasting occurrence specifically led to nutrition, breast milk, immunization, and cleanliness occurrences. Lack of food diversity was also the cause of the high-rate prevalence of wasting. Proper breast milk provision by mothers facilitated the nutritional balance for children and it was correlated to wasting occurrence. Lack of proper water source was also correlated to higher wasting conditions.

The paper presents the results of studying halopelite content in the B–V rock salt layer in conditions of the Verkhnekamsk potassium-magnesium salt deposit in terms of gas-dynamic hazard during mining of the AB potassium layer. Presence of halopelite bands in the interformational B-V rock salt layer is considered as the factor which causes reduction of both rock tensile strength and cohesion between individual rock layers in the roof of the mine workings that leads to its intensive exfoliation. In case of free gas accumulation or its infiltration from the enclosing rocks into the formed voids this can cause gas-dynamic phenomena, i.e. the roof rocks collapse accompanied by gas emission. Forecasting of the gas-dynamic hazards is extremely important both in mining of potash beds and in the development of oil and potash deposits that coincide laterally. In the course of the research, the content of halopelite within the B-V rock salt formation was taken into account using such a quantitative indicator as the content of water insoluble residue (IR). Analysis of statistical dependence of insoluble residue content as a quantitative characteristic of halopelite content in the B–V formation with the other formation characteristics such as calcium sulphate content, formation thickness and absolute roof elevation was performed. The regression equations were obtained that characterize the correlation relations between the IR and CaSO4, IR and Hcr with regard to the three studied options. Analysis of correlation coefficient values was executed between the IR by CaSO4, as well as the type of the regression equations for free and angular members.

Relevance. The efficiency of mining operations depends on the level of ore losses and dilution and it can be increased by improving the mining and ore processing methods, therefore research in this area is both timely and relevant. The purpose of this study is to improve the performance indicators of mining of minerals by modelling the technological parameters. The subject of the research are hard rock ore deposits developed by mining companies in various sectors of the national economy. Methods. Systematization and system analysis of the mining performance indicators, economic and mathematical modeling with technology assessment as well as engineering predictions of the prospects to solve the challenge based on the combination of traditional mining systems. Results. The paper presents the results of modelling mining performance indicators using a specific mining operation as an example. A system analysis of mining performance indicators has been performed for metal deposits as well as for performance criteria of the mining companies. Principles for combining traditional mining systems are formulated based on minimization of technologically unconditioned volumes of rocks. A methodology to optimize the options for combining technologies is presented. A correlation mechanism has been established between the quality of mined ores and geodynamic processes. A concept of optimum control is proposed as well as a solid discrete medium model which allows to control the stresses using technological techniques.
The role of critical raw materials in conditions of economic uncertainty: the EU experience
Authors: Kondratiev V.B.
Published: August 2022

The demand for minerals is set to increase in the future due to the global competition, industrialization in the developing countries, digitalization of the developed economies as well as the social and economic shocks in the course of a deep transformation of the international economic order. Dependence on the critical raw materials may soon replace the dependence on oil and gas. A reliable and sustainable supply of both primary and secondary raw materials, especially of the critical raw materials for the key technologies and strategic sectors such as the renewable energy, electric mobility, digital technologies, space and defense, is a prerequisite for achieving national security and independence. The new EU Industrial Strategy addresses security and sustainable development and calls for active action on critical raw materials and creation of sector-specific raw material alliances. This EU policy pursues a strategy of diversification in providing non-energy raw materials for EU value chains and ensuring the social welfare. Diversification of supply is related to reducing the dependencies in all areas by supplying primary raw materials from the EU, by increasing the supply of secondary raw materials through efficient use of resources, and by finding alternatives to scarce raw materials. One of the priority actions was to create a list of critical raw materials at the EU level.
The Effects of Sounds and Music on Cells and Organisms: A Promising and Developing Area of Research
Authors: Brun Claire , Exbrayat Jean-Marie
Published: August 2022

This review is based on recent publications about the effects of sound, and more particularly of music, on several aspects of physiology. It has been known for a long time that music has effects on the brain and on the functioning of different organs. In recent years, several publications also described specific effects of music on the physicochemical mechanisms in the other organisms, bacteria, plants and animals. These researches being rather disparate in the methodologies used and the results obtained, they need to be classified. In this review, we summarize the studies and attempt to explain the cellular mechanisms involved, by considering the properties of the plasma membrane and its links with the extracellular and intracellular medium. This field of research is currently in full expansion, but still requires further studies to understand and go further in the possible applications, the precise molecular mechanisms of effects of music still remain to be clarified.

Can Foreign Policy Posture Address Development Challenge of Landlocked States? Switzerland and Lesotho in Focus
Authors: Olawale Olalekan Ayansola
Published: August 2022

  

It appears that the gap in growth between coastal and landlocked nations is widening quickly. When examining how geography affects foreign policy and development, there have been two distinct yet related lines of thought but all agreed that costly transit is a result of the lack of sea access, isolation from important international markets, and remoteness. Majority of landlocked literature only emphasizes how dependent the former is on the latter even in the not-too-distant future if current trends continue. As a result, in a comparative framework, the perspectives of Switzerland and Lesotho are more clearly portrayed. Through descriptive and qualitative design, this paper revealed that the charges of locational determinism places more emphasis on connections with neighbors, making foreign policy approach a genuine alternative to address it challenge. If a landlocked state is situated in an impoverished and unstable area, it foreign policy and security may be affected by the poverty and poor infrastructure of the area and vice versa.

Published: August 2022

Researchers must present a philosophical rationale to conceptualize and operationalize the mixed research method. This study aims to examine to what extent 27 studies published in the last five years reflect the characteristics of pragmatism. We identified these studies using the PRISMA model and analyzed the abstracts, keywords, and introductions of the studies with content analysis. We concluded that researchers need to make more efforts to reflect the philosophical perspective in the abstract and introduction. We propose a framework for researchers using the mixed research method to use the features of pragmatism. We believe that the relevant framework will contribute to mixed methods research.

A Multimodal Discourse Analysis of the Iraqi 2021 Parliamentary Election on the BBC Internet Platform
Authors: Mazin Jasim Al-Hilu (Phd)
Published: August 2022

One of the most significant shifts in Iraq's political regime was the parliamentary elections in 2021 with the election of a new prime minister. Massive demonstrations over government corruption and political parties' failure to enact measures to rein such corruption through legislative elections. It was possible that a new poll law might help the independent candidates in their efforts to secure a seat in the parliament. To explore this issue, the current study has employed two models: visual social semiotics of Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006) and Bednarek (2006) to analyze the visuals of Election Day and the evaluations of news values. The visuals convey representational, interpersonal, and compositional meanings, while the verbal texts are analyzed according to their evaluation characteristics. To demonstrate the different facets of election day that can be captured in the images chosen for the study on the BBC, the vocal text strives to explain how it relates to the visual style. Attempts have also been made to determine how the election day would be portrayed in the writer's news report for BBC. The results have demonstrated that the most significant aspects of election day could be reflected in the visual and spoken modes of BBC's less upbeat portrayal of Iraqi conditions which has been clear from this report.

The Difficulty of Coping in Jonathan Franzen's Freedom
Authors: Assistant instructor. Azhar Waheed Naser  , - Assistant instructor.  Hussein Kadhim Zami  , Assistant instructor. Wahad Khalil Hashem
Published: August 2022

Abstract:

The paper examines Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom (2010) from a moral perspective.   It studies how people live, make choices and take decisions, whom to marry, how to raise children. I attempt to discuss Franzen's view that the crucial part of becoming a mature is that grown-ups abandon a definite kind of freedom.  In adulthood one is not able to do the things one used to do when one was a child. What gives this novel its richness and critical recognition is the difficult journeys of the characters towards moral recognition. Therefore, this novel is regarded as one of the most prominent novels in the twenty- first century. It has been called a "masterpiece of American fiction" by Time Magazine and "an indelible portrait of our times" by Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times. The pains, departures, disappointments and even tragic deaths, act as a crucible that allows the awakening of the moral sense of the characters to ultimately achieve their longed-for happy endings.

(تأثير ݒذيرى برخى از شاعران از دو بيتى فارسى)
Authors: طي  حاتم جاسم
Published: August 2022

دوبیتی (نام دیگر:فهلویات) از قالب های ریشه دار شعر پارسی است. دوبیتی شعری یازده هجایی مرکب از چهار مصرع است که همه بر یک قافیه (جز مصرع سوم که آوردن قافیه در آن اختیاری است) می باشند. دوبیتی وزن تکامل یافته و عروضی شده نوعی از ترانه های دوازده هجایی قدیم ایران است. نامدارترین وزن دوبیتی بحر هزج مسدّس مقصور (مفاعیلن مفاعیلن مفاعیل) و مشهورترین شاعر بر وزن نام برده، باباطاهر عریان است. باباطاهر و فایز دشتی بزرگترین دوبیتی سرایان ایرانی اند.دوبیتی یکی از قوالب اصلی شعر فارسی است که با وصف آنکه فقط دوبیت دارد، اما دنیایی از معنی در آن جای میگیرد، که مصرع اول و دوم و چهارم آن هم قافیه و دارای یک ردیف می باشد. حرف آخر و اصلی را معمولا در مصرع چهارم بیان می کنند. از خصوصیات این قالب این است که شعرهای عاشقانه محلی با آن بیان می شود (ستايشگر، 1381، ص 464).

که از این میان می‌توان به فهلوی نامدار شیخ صفی الدین اردبیلی که به اردبیلی در سده هفتم و سده هشتم سروده شده، اشاره نمود. ابواسحاق انصاری تلمسانی (۱۲۱۲–۱۳۰۰م) فقیه و ادیب عربی اندلسی مقاله اي در علم عروض دوبیتی نگاشت و در آن فنِّ شعریِ دوبیتی در زبان فارسی و عربی را بررسی نمود (زركلى، 2002، ص33).

Differential expression of AHNAK in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of AHNAK, encoding AHNAK nucleoprotein, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (SALS). AHNAK transcript was present at significantly lower levels in SALS patient fibroblasts as compared to control, non-diseased fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.
Trading Diversity? Judicial Diversity and Case Outcomes in Federal Courts
Authors: Copus Ryan , Hübert Ryan , Pellaton Paige
Published: August 2022

Are federal lawsuits resolved differently based on the race or gender of the judges assigned to hear them? Recent empirical research posits that women and judges of color decide cases more liberally, at least in some identity-salient areas of law. However, these studies analyze small numbers of cases and judges, and use research designs that limit their causal interpretations. Using an original dataset of all civil rights cases filed in 20 federal district courts over multiple decades and a strong causal identification strategy, we find that assignment of cases to judges of color or women has no statistically significant effect on case outcomes among Democratic appointees. However, it causes more conservative outcomes among Republican appointees. We explain these results with a theory of bargaining over judicial appointments in which Republican presidents take advantage of Democrats' preference for diversity on the bench to appoint more conservative judges.
Introducing spatial availability, a singly-constrained measure of competitive accessibility
Authors: Soukhov Anastasia , Paez Antonio , Higgins Christopher D. , Mohamed Moataz
Published: August 2022

Accessibility indicators are widely used in transportation, urban, and healthcare planning, among many other applications. These measures are weighted sums of reachable opportunities from a given origin conditional on the cost of movement, and are estimates of the potential for spatial interaction. Over time, various proposals have been forwarded to improve their interpretability, mainly by introducing competition. In this paper, we demonstrate how a widely used measure of accessibility with congestion fails to properly match the opportunity-seeking population. We then propose an alternative formulation of accessibility with competition, a measure we call _spatial availability_. This measure results from using balancing factors that are equivalent to imposing a single constraint on conventional gravity-based accessibility. Further, we demonstrate how Two-Stage Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) methods can be reconceptualized as singly-constrained accessibility. To illustrate the application of spatial availability and compare it to other relevant measures, we use data from the 2016 Transportation Tomorrow Survey of the Greater Golden Horseshoe area in southern Ontario, Canada.
Characterizing Heterogeneity in Early Adolescent Reward Networks and Individualized Associations with Behavioral and Clinical Outcomes
Authors: Mattoni Matthew , Smith David Victor , Olino Thomas M
Published: August 2022

Associations between connectivity networks and behavioral outcomes such as depression are typically examined by comparing average network models between known groups. However, potential neural heterogeneity within groups limits the ability to use this approach to make inferences about the individual as qualitatively distinct processes across individuals may be obscured in group averages. This study characterizes the heterogeneity of effective connectivity reward networks among 103 early adolescents (mean age = 11.32) and examines associations between individualized features and reward-related behavioral outcomes, depression, and risk for substance use disorders. To characterize network heterogeneity, we used extended unified structural equation modeling to identify effective connectivity networks for each individual and an aggregate network. We found that an aggregate reward network was a poor representation of each individual’s network, with most individuals sharing less than 50% of the group-level network paths and no individual sharing 75% of the group-network paths. We then used Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation (GIMME) to identify a group-level network, subgroups of individuals with similar networks, and individual-level networks specific to each adolescent. We also identified three subgroups that appear to reflect differences in network maturity, but this solution had modest validity. Additionally, we found numerous associations between individual-specific connectivity paths and behavioral reward functioning and risk for substance use disorders. However, network features were minimally associated with depression. We suggest that accounting for heterogeneity is necessary to examine qualitatively distinct patterns of adolescent reward networks and will improve precision for testing neural associations with behavioral outcomes at the individual level.
Those Were the What? Nostalgia’s Effect on Radical Right Support Depends on Nostalgia’s Content
Authors: Versteegen Luca
Published: August 2022

Nostalgic rhetoric is common among populist radical right parties. This has made some observers ascribe nostalgia––a rose-colored memory of the past––to radical right electorates. However, it remains unclear whether such nostalgia is about group-based or personal issues and how these different nostalgia contents relate to radical right support. I argue that nostalgia for group-based contents predicts radical right support because it creates group-based temporal relative deprivation: Individuals’ nostalgic positive memories set an extraordinarily high standard that society’s present hardly can match. The relative deprivation caused by the contrast between society’s rose-colored past and its realistic present creates dissatisfaction, which is attributed to political elites and outgroups. Therefore, individuals support parties that promise to restore society’s favorable past. In contrast, nostalgia for personal issues does not have such an effect because most individuals’ present is pleasant enough to match their positive memories, therefore preventing personal relative deprivation. Two preregistered studies on Dutch panel data examine how different contents of nostalgia predict radical right support. In Study 1, nostalgia for group-based content (e.g., society, people) predicts stronger radical right support. Nostalgia for personal content (e.g., family, childhood) instead attenuates support. In Study 2, I show that radical right voters are not more nostalgic in general. Instead, while group-based nostalgia again predicts radical right support, the general frequency and importance of nostalgic experiences are less relevant. Together, this paper refutes the assumption that nostalgia generally motivates radical right support. Instead, only longing for society’s past drives these effects.
Difficulty-skill balance does not affect engagement and enjoyment: A pre-registered study using AI-controlled difficulty

Published: August 2022

How does the difficulty of a task affect people’s enjoyment and engagement? Intrinsic motivation and flow theories posit a ‘goldilocks’ optimum where task difficulty matches performer skill, yet current work is confounded by questionable measurement practices and lacks scalable methods to manipulate objective difficulty-skill ratios. We developed a 2-player tactical game test suite with an AI-controlled opponent that uses a variant of the Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm to precisely manipulate difficulty-skill ratios. A pre-registered study (n=311) showed that our AI produced targeted difficulty-skill ratios without participants noticing the manipulation, yet different ratios had no significant impact on enjoyment or engagement. This indicates that difficulty-skill balance does not always affect engagement and enjoyment, but that games with AI-controlled difficulty provide a useful paradigm for rigorous future work on this issue
The Excluded Ordinary? A Theory of Populist Radical Right Voters’ Position in Society – Preprint
Authors: Versteegen Luca
Published: August 2022

While some research describes Populist Radical Right (PRR) voters as marginalized, other evidence suggests they are central members of society: PRR parties receive support from a broad demographic spectrum and particularly from historically powerful groups. Moreover, PRR voters see themselves as ordinary people. I argue that the conundrum of the marginalized vs. ordinary PRR voter arises because social inclusion is often insufficiently understood as just belonging to the group. I apply Optimal Distinctiveness Theory to posit that an individual’s inclusion experience relies on two needs: First, individuals need to experience belonging to the larger group. Second, they simultaneously need to feel recognized as members of unique subgroups within that larger group. Amid a liberalization of values and a reduction of historical injustices, majority members may feel excluded despite belonging to society because they feel their unique subgroup background is unrecognized. I showcase this argument using semi-structured interviews with German PRR voters. The study explores the general suitability of the theory for majority members’ inclusion experience. I close by raising avenues for quantitative tests of the theory and a significant implication: future progress on minority rights will inevitably drive polarization unless majority members’ need for uniqueness is accounted for.
