Does alcohol affect emotional face processing via interoceptive pathways?
Authors: Leganes-Fonteneau Mateo , Bates Marsha , Pawlak Anthony , Buckman Jennifer
Published: April 2021

Background: Our brain uses interoceptive signals from the body to shape how we perceive emotions in others; however, whether interoceptive signals can be manipulated to alter emotional perceptions is unknown. Alcohol has acute effects both on emotional processing and on the physiological substrates supporting interoception. In this registered report, we examine whether alcohol administration triggers physiological changes that alter interoceptive signals and manipulate emotional face processing. Such knowledge will broaden understanding of the mechanisms by which alcohol affects emotional face processing.Methods: Participants (n=36) will be administered an alcohol or placebo beverage. Cardiovascular physiology will be recorded before and after administration. Participants will complete two behavioral tasks in which they view emotional faces presented in synchrony with different phases of the cardiac cycle (i.e., systole, diastole). This manipulation creates an index of how interoceptive signals amplify emotional face processing. Hypotheses: We hypothesize that, compared to placebo, alcohol administration will disrupt the cardiac amplification of emotional face processing. We further explore whether this disruption depends on the nature and magnitude of changes in cardiovascular physiology after alcohol administration.
GFMT2: A psychometric measure of face matching ability
Authors: White David , Guilbert Daniel , de Lima Varela Victor Perrone , Jenkins Rob , Burton Mike
Published: April 2021

We present an expanded version of a widely used measure of unfamiliar face matching ability, the Glasgow Face Matching Test (GFMT). The GFMT2 is created using the same source database as the original test but makes five key improvements. First, the test items include variation in head angle, pose, expression and subject-to-camera distance, making the new test more difficult and more representative of challenges in everyday face identification tasks. Second, short and long versions of the test each contain two forms that are calibrated to be of equal difficulty, allowing repeat tests to be performed to examine effects of training interventions. Third, the short form tests contain no repeating face identities, thereby removing any confounding effects of familiarity that may have been present in the original test. Fourth, separate short versions are created to target exceptionally high performing or exceptionally low performing individuals using established psychometric principles. Fifth, all tests are implemented in an executable program, allowing them to be administered automatically. All tests are available free for scientific use via www.gfmt2.org.
multiSyncPy: A Python Package for Assessing Multivariate Coordination Dynamics
Authors: Hudson Dan , Wiltshire Travis J. , Atzmueller Martin
Published: April 2021

In order to support the burgeoning field of research into interpersonal synchrony, we present an open-source software package: multiSyncPy. Multivariate synchrony goes beyond the bivariate case and can be useful for quantifying how groups, teams, and families coordinate their behaviors, or estimating the degree to which multiple modalities from an individual become synchronized. Our package includes state-of-the-art multivariate methods including symbolic entropy, multidimensional recurrence quantification, coherence, the cluster-phase ‘Rho’ metric, and a statistical test based on the Kuramoto order parameter. We also include functions for two surrogation techniques to compare the observed coordination dynamics with chance levels. Taken together, our collation and presentation of these make the study of interpersonal synchronization and coordination dynamics applicable to larger, more complex and often more ecologically valid study designs. In this work, we summarize the relevant theoretical background and present illustrative practical examples as well as guidance for the usage of our package - using synthetic as well as empirical data. Furthermore, we provide a discussion of our work and software and outline interesting further directions and perspectives. multiSyncPy is freely available under the LGPL license at: https://github.com/cslab-hub/multiSyncPy, and also available at the Python package index.
Labels or Concepts? The Development of Semantic Networks in Bilingual Two-Year-Olds
Authors: Jardak Amel , Byers-Heinlein Krista
Published: April 2021

The adult lexicon links concepts and labels with related meanings (e.g. dog–cat). How do children’s encounters with concepts versus labels contribute to semantic development? Three studies investigated semantic priming in 40 monolinguals and 32 bilinguals, who have similar experience with concepts, but different experience with labels (i.e. monolinguals hear “dog”, bilinguals hear “dog” and “chien”). Similarities in performance across monolinguals and bilinguals at age 24 months, as well as across bilinguals’ two languages at age 30 months, support the position that encounters with concepts contribute more to early semantic development than encounters with labels. Findings also suggest that the effects of semantic priming are challenging to observe at 24 months, but are strong in bilinguals by age 30 months.
Reactance and perceived disease severity as determinants of COVID-19 vaccination intention: An application of the theory of planned behavior
Authors: Drążkowski Dariusz , Trepanowski Radosław
Published: April 2021

Vaccination is crucial in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. To encourage as many people as possible to be vaccinated, it is essential to identify the determinants of COVID-19 vaccination intention. The present study aimed to do so through an application of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). We examined variables associated with TPB, perceived severity of COVID-19, knowing someone afflicted with COVID-19, and individual differences, such as age, gender, and psychological reactance, among 551 Polish participants. Attitude (utility beliefs) toward COVID-19 vaccination was the strongest predictor of vaccination intention, followed by beliefs about social norms and perceived behavioral control. Older age and knowing someone with COVID-19 led to higher vaccination intention through perceived higher severity of the infection, and higher levels of all TPB components, compared with other participants. Being a woman and having higher trait reactance negatively affected COVID-19 vaccination intention through lower levels of all TPB components. The results show that COVID-19 vaccination intention is directly determined by all TPB components, and is affected by gender, age, COVID-19-related variables, and reactance. Our results contribute to the scientific pursuit of encouraging uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine by identifying modifiable determinants that could be targeted in health promotion campaigns.
Neural similarity between mentalizing and live social interaction
Authors: Merchant Junaid Salim , Alkire Diana , Redcay Elizabeth
Published: April 2021

Reciprocal social interactions are a quintessential part of human life, yet little neuroimaging research has examined the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms using social interactive experimental paradigms. Recent work using social interactive tasks has demonstrated brain activity in the mentalizing network, even in the absence of explicit mentalizing demands, suggesting that social interactive contexts automatically engage mentalizing. However, while overlapping brain activations are suggestive of similar underlying neural processes between explicit mentalizing and spontaneous mentalizing during interaction, they are not a direct test of whether or not these processes are represented similarly in the brain. Pattern-based approaches provide the sensitivity to examine the similarity between different neurocognitive processes. The current study used representational similarity analysis on a task wherein participants made mental and non-mental judgments about an abstract character and a live, social interactive partner during fMRI. The within-subject, 2 (Mental/Non-mental) x 2 (Peer/Character) design enabled us to examine the similarity in response patterns between conditions across numerous brain regions associated with social cognition, and estimate fit to three theoretical models of how the two processes relate: 1) social interaction and explicit mentalizing about an abstract character are represented similarly; 2) interactive peer and abstract character are represented differently regardless of the evaluation type; and 3) mental and non-mental states are represented dissimilarly regardless of target. Results demonstrate that the temporal poles and the right posterior superior temporal sulcus represent mentalizing and peer interactions similarly (Model 1), suggesting that response patterns in these regions provide a link between mentalizing and social interaction. Much of the rest of the social brain exhibits different representations for interactive peers and abstract characters (Model 2). Finally, model-free analyses showed that different regions show sensitivity to either the interaction partner or story character. Together, our findings highlight the importance of studying social cognitive processes using interactive approaches, and the utility of pattern-based approaches in understanding how social cognitive processes relate to each other.
The Limits of Gender and Regional Diversity in the European Association of Social Psychology
Authors: Nyul Boglarka , Lantos Nóra Anna , Reicher Stephen , Kende Anna
Published: April 2021

Academic associations define the scientific standards and affect individual academic careers within a discipline. The European Association of Social Psychology (EASP) was founded in 1966 to become an association for all social psychologists in Europe. However, this was unattainable during the Cold War, and more subtle obstacles, such as women’s underrepresentation in academia prevented EASP from due representation of all social psychologists. Social psychological theory offers insights into why social hierarchies are maintained and how they can be dismantled. We used the case of EASP to analyse challenges to creating a diverse and inclusive association by analysing membership data, participation, distinction and influence throughout the organisation’s history (1966-2020) and conducting a more in-depth analysis for the 2011-2017 period. We found a glass-ceiling effect for women and a persistent underrepresentation of non-Western European scholars on all levels. We conclude that increasing diversity requires more fundamental changes to overcome structural inequalities.

The purpose of this study is to compare the multiple intelligence level of athletes participating in Inter-University Kick Boxing Championships in Turkey according to different variables. The universe of the study is created by 650 athletes from 65 universities that attended to the Inter-University Kick-Boxing Championship in Turkey (between 06-11 March 2018). And the sample of the study is 87 athletes who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study. In the study, "Self-Assessment Inventory in Multiple Intelligence Areas," which was developed by Howard Gardner, translated into Turkish by Saban (2002) and whose validity and reliability (α = 0.93) were made, was used as the data collection tool in the study. SPSS 20 package program was used to analyze the data. The normality of the distribution was examined using the Shapiro Wilk test. It was observed that the available data had normal distribution. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistical analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) that compares the multiple intelligence levels of the athletes according to the universities they attend, the Tukey test, and the Independent sample t test that compares the multiple intelligence levels of the athletes according to the age variable were used. At the end of the study, depending on the age variable, Linguistic intelligence (p = .663; p <0.05), Logical intelligence (p = .724; p <0.05), Visual intelligence (p = 0.900; p <0.05), Musical intelligence (p = .815; p <0.05), Nature intelligence (p = .450; p <0.05), Interpersonal intelligence (p = .713; p <0.05), Kinesthetic intelligence (p = .548; p <0.05), Intrinsic intelligence (p = .799; p <0.05) no significant difference was found between the sub-dimension levels and the ages of the athletes.
Attitudes in 2020 towards medical and recreational marijuana in prohibitionist Nebraska
Authors: Habecker Patrick , Bevins Rick A.
Published: April 2021

Background - Despite considerable change in the legal status of marijuana in the United States in the 21st century, the state of Nebraska has seen very little legislative movement. With no legal allowances for medical or recreational use of marijuana, Nebraska has become an outlier in maintaining a complete prohibition on the substance. We examine overall public support for medical and recreational marijuana in the state of Nebraska, as well as support by intrastate region, political party, and the association between stigma and legal support.Methods - We use data from the 2020 Nebraska Annual Social Indicators Survey (NASIS) which is paper survey mailed to an address-based sample of Nebraskans who are 19 and older. The 2020 NASIS was mailed to 8,000 addresses in Nebraska using a stratified sampling design. Using a question developed by Pew Research Center we ask if participants support legal marijuana for medical AND recreational use, medical use only, or if they think it should not be legal. Results – We estimate that 83% of Nebraskans support medical marijuana legalization, a clear majority of opinion. Support is more divided between whether the substance should be legal for both medical and recreational use, or just for medical use. There are also associations between support preferences and age, political party, gender, and the amount of stigma a participant reports in their community towards people that use various substances.Conclusion – A small percent of the Nebraska population are estimated to favor keeping marijuana illegal. The current legislative prohibition is out of step with public opinion in the state, suggesting that ballot initiatives will likely find success in the state should current legislation fail.

Authors: Dupuy-Bonafé I. , François C. , Yachouh J. , Frapier L. , Dupuy-Bonafé I. , Millot S.
Published: April 2021

Background: Continuous positive airway pressure is a cost-effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but in case of craniofacial anomalies, which have a recognized role in OSA development, maxillary-mandibular advancement surgery is a recommended therapeutic option.
Clinical Presentation: We describe a patient with severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index = 42) treated by maxillary-mandibular advancement (MMA) surgery. Effective results were confirmed by polysomnography at 6 months post-surgery with normalization of the polysomnographic parameters (apnea-hypopnea index = 17) but due to persistent sleepiness, the patient was unable to resume his work.
Conclusion: Maxillary-mandibular surgery can be a valid option for treating severe OSA associated with craniofacial anomalies. However, our results emphasize the need of critically assessing surgical approaches and the need to redefine success for OSA management.

Authors: Gurina Natalia , Grishchenko Tatiana
Published: April 2021

The article examines the main scientific, practical and theoretical aspects of the professional activity of an accountant. The essence of professional ethics of an accountant is determined. The works of scientists on the importance of ethical regulation of accounting staff are analyzed. The normative-legal regulation of the activity of the accounting profession is considered. The influence of observance of professional ethics during the formation of accounting information is substantiated. The social orientation of the accounting profession is described. The process of formation of qualitative information is investigated, and also its importance is described. In order to succeed, an accountant needs business and professional qualities, various methods and techniques of management. But, on the other hand, accounting is a specific functional and applied economics. In such sciences, the human factor plays an extremely important role. In addition to accounting, this means that no assessments of the reliability, reliability and sufficiency of information generated in the accounting system can be made without taking this factor into account. The human factor includes intellectual and personal qualities: knowledge, abilities, intelligence, emotional and volitional sphere, character. These qualities have two features. First, it is the foundation on which the professional, managerial competence of an accountant is built. Secondly, they are much more difficult to correct: it is much more difficult to change the style of thinking or character than to learn the method of decision-making or the technology of accounting.An indicator of professionalism is a high level of cultural development in the relevant field. The presence and functioning of professional values and values in a particular field allows its employee to understand many professional situations related to his responsibilities, and correlate them with the current system of values.Every accountant has a responsibility to promote high standards of professional conduct and ensure compliance with ethical requirements; in case of non-compliance with such an organization, an investigation may be conducted and appropriate measures taken. In the interests of the profession and all its members, the public needs to be confident that non-compliance with the ethical requirements of accountants will be investigated and disciplined if necessary.

The role and importance of the fish industry for the food security of the country are substantiated and it is determined that this industry is a promising area of development in the country.
The scientific literature sources on the subject of the existing methods of assessing the competitiveness of the fisheries industry are analyzed and the main methodological approaches for assessing the level of competitiveness of the fisheries industry are determined, taking into account the specifics of the industry. The article provides a comparative analysis of methods for assessing the competitiveness of the fish industry, identifies the advantages, disadvantages and possibilities of applying this analysis.
It is determined that the assessment of the competitiveness of the fisheries sector is an important element of ensuring effective management and a prerequisite for obtaining sustainable competitive advantages in the long run. The article states that the assessment of the competitiveness of the fisheries sector determines the favorable and unfavorable market positions, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of fisheries.
It is noted that the competitiveness of the industry is an aggregate indicator of the potential of all structural units and elements of the industry's potential, as well as its ability to prevent and respond quickly and adapt to changing environmental factors.
It is emphasized that there is no single methodology for assessing the competitiveness of both the enterprise and the fisheries industry today, which is primarily due to the ambiguity of the interpretation of the very concept of competitiveness.
Based on the fact that the competitiveness of the enterprise and the industry as a whole in modern conditions is one of the defining characteristics of the efficiency of its economic activity and, at the same time, opportunities for further development, the article defines the concepts of "industry competitiveness" and "industry competitiveness assessment".

The article is dedicated to one of the most important problems in the records management of tourism is a comparative analysis of the four stars Ukrainian and Turkish hotels in accordance with their national standards. Ukraine and Turkey have their own state standards for the definition of hotel stars quantity. The definition of comprehension of the standartisation is identified by the state standarts which function in Ukraine today in the article. Methodology: The comparative analysis of the regional hotels in Ukraine and Turkey are used to study hotel services. From disadvantages of separate hotels to general disadvantages of the quality of Ukrainian hotel services are used the method of induction. Ukraine has its state standards for the definition of hotel stars’ level. There isn’t the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Ukraine as in Turkey which checks hotels in accordance with the national standards. If a guest stays in the four stars Ukrainian hotel, there are no guaranties of the same conditions which are in the equivalent stars Turkey hotel. It could be read the appropriate assessment of hotel characteristics at website Tripadvisor. In accordance with the national standards the four stars hotels offer more choices of services and high-skill staff compared to the three stars hotels. The specialization of Zaporizhzhia studied hotels is the business tourism, that’s why the rent of cars, rooms, multimedia devices for conferences, presentation parties, talks are offered. The four stars Eldar Resort Hotel in Turkey is specializated on the beach tourism, that’s why guests use the hotel beach, bars there, beach towels and sun loungers, sweet water pools, although in accordance with the national standards pool is necessary demand for the five stars hotels in Ukraine and the four stars – in Turkey. So, the four stars hotels are different from the five and three stars hotels not only by choices of services and demands toward staff skills in accordance with the national standards, but offered services are determined by the existing demand on the suitable services and hotel specialization, the local natural and hotel material and technical resources.

Published: April 2021

The article examines the peculiarities of marketing activities in the tourism industry. The complexity of this issue is not only that there is no single theoretical approach to solving problems of marketing support of tourism, there is no clear understanding of practical aspects. The purpose of the article is to study the features of marketing activities in the tourism industry and to develop tools for its improvement in order to increase consumer satisfaction with the quality of services provided. To achieve the goal of the article, a number of general scientific and special methods were used: abstract-logical method, method of theoretical generalization, abstract analysis, content analysis. The article defines the essence of tourism marketing, its purpose, tasks and functions, which are considered in tourism at 3 levels: public, regional and individual. The necessity of correct understanding of consumer behavior for realization of effective marketing activity at the tourist enterprise is proved. A comprehensive study of consumer needs and their consumer satisfaction with the quality of services is proposed. It will assess how marketing activities meet consumer needs and how a company assesses the importance of its work at each stage of the purchase decision. It has been proved that identifying the degree of consumer satisfaction with the company's services is the most important problem in the context of ensuring the competitiveness of the enterprise and the efficiency of its work in the market. A client-oriented model of marketing of a professional tourist service has been developed, which is based on the characteristics inherent in a professional tourist service. The model considers three types of marketing: traditional, internal and interactive marketing. The components of the model should be three controlled and interdependent links: "travel company – customers"; "travel company – staff"; "staff – customers ". It has been proved that the introduction of a customer-oriented model of marketing professional services and methods of personal sales will help improve the quality of services provided and increase the efficiency of the tourism enterprise as a whole.

Based on the analysis of the dynamics of the regional transport and logistics system of the Black Sea economic region, many barriers to its effective functioning have been identified, which are conditionally divided into 10 groups: political, institutional, investment and financial, infrastructure, logistics, tariff, customs, innovation, informational, ecological. It is proved that to eliminate these barriers it is advisable to develop a cluster model of logistics activities in the economic region, which means a conceptual approach that involves the creation and development of transport and logistics cluster as a mechanism for sustainable functioning of regional transport and logistics system. The cluster model includes the following blocks: a single set of processes of logistics activities; members of the transport and logistics cluster that organize these processes; mechanisms for forming partnerships of cluster members; financial support for cluster development; achieving a synergetic (economic, social and environmental) effect from the sustainable development of the transport and logistics cluster on the basis of stimulating the region.
As a result of the study it was found that to implement a cluster model of logistics activities in the Black Sea economic region it is necessary to create appropriate institutional conditions, namely: to improve regulatory and legal regulation of transport and logistics activities taking into account the regional component; to develop a Strategy for the integrated development of the regional transport and logistics system based on the modernization of transport infrastructure and the creation of a transport and logistics cluster; to develop and implement an organizational and economic mechanism for managing the development of the transport and logistics system of the economic region using the tools of "green" logistics and digital technologies; to improve the mechanism of financial support for the development of the transport and logistics system through the use of financial instruments such as venture capital, crowdfunding, factoring, international public-private partnership based on attracting private investment, credit institutions, foreign investment resources, grants from international financial institutions.

Determining the features of such relations allowed to form approaches to the development of strategy for managing the system of relations between enterprises and banks, due to the general patterns of development. Positive feedback is shown as a condition for the development of the real sector of the economy and the banking system. The general statement of a strategic task of management of system of such mutual relations on the basis of definition of the purpose in the form of some functional E (the purpose) and quality of management is formulated. It is noted that a pre-formulated development strategy and planned indicators should be chosen as a planned benchmark for development.
The scientific novelty is due to the systematization and generalization of the features of the system of relations between enterprises and banks at the present stage in order to develop a strategy for managing the system of relations between enterprises and banks.
Conclusions are made on the complexity of the financial and economic system, the multi-purpose nature of its functioning and the need to use strategic management to ensure the long-term development of such systems and the economy as a whole.

At the present stage of Ukraine’s development in the context of European integration, an analysis of the experience of integrity and prevention of corruption as the basis of the country’s international investment attractiveness is extremely important. It is necessary to solve the problems that arise as a result of intensification of activities on integrity and prevention of corruption to increase the international investment attractiveness of Ukraine. It is especially important to intensify activities on integrity and prevention of corruption to increase international investment attractiveness in the Black Sea (southern) Region, namely in Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kherson and Donetsk regions. Therefore, the problems of analyzing the experience of integrity and preventing corruption in order to increase the international investment attractiveness of Ukraine and its regions are becoming relevant. Improving and developing integrity and preventing corruption will help develop Ukraine’s economy by increasing international investment.
Based on statistics, the growth of foreign direct investment in the Black Sea Region of Ukraine was studied to determine the increase in international investment attractiveness. Given the statistical information, a high negative level of inflation, which affects the development of the economy, was found in the Black Sea Region of Ukraine. Necessary values have been developed that need to be implemented in organizations among employees in order to combat corruption. Strong arguments are analyzed in order to quickly and consistently address all violations of integrity in an organization, regardless of the size of violations. The most common forms of bribery and corruption in the organization to combat corruption are studied. The unethical behavior of violating integrity, which is due to one of the three key factors for overcoming corruption in an organization, is considered. It has been found that action is needed to promote a culture of openness and awareness of integrity in order to understand the importance of integrity. The training of integrity staff at work, which is aimed at raising awareness, which helps to minimize violations of integrity, is studied.
