Attention computing for enhanced visuomotor skill performance: Testing the effectiveness of gaze-adaptive cues in virtual reality golf putting
Authors: Harris David , Donaldson Ross , Bray Max , Arthur Tom , Wilson Mark , Vine Samuel James
Published: June 2023

This work explored how immersive technologies like virtual reality can be exploited for improved motor learning. While virtual reality is becoming a practical replacement for training that is otherwise expensive, dangerous, or inconvenient to deliver, virtual simulations can also enhance the learning process. Based on the concept of ‘attention computing’, we developed and tested a novel ‘gaze-adaptive’ training method within a virtual putting environment augmented with eye and motion tracking. Novice golfers were randomly assigned to either standard putting practice in virtual reality (control) or gaze-adaptive training conditions. For gaze-adaptive training, the golf ball was sensitive to the participant’s gaze and illuminated when fixated upon, to prompt longer and more stable pre-shot fixations. We recorded the effect of these training conditions on task performance, gaze control, and putting kinematics. Gaze-adaptive training was successful in generating more expert-like gaze control and putting kinematics, although this did not transfer to improved performance outcomes within the abbreviated training paradigm. These findings suggest that gaze-adaptive environments can enhance visuomotor learning and may be a promising method for augmenting virtual training environments.
Going through the motions: biasing of dynamic attentional templates
Authors: Boettcher Sage , Nobre Anna C.
Published: June 2023

Memories guiding attention in static environments may be biased away from veridical representations. Across four experiments we investigated whether memory for dynamic stimulus attributes can be similarly biased in extended unfolding contexts. In Experiments 1-3, participants searched for a particular motion direction among distractors that moved either clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the target. When probed about the target, participants recalled the target direction as being biased away from the distractors. The distortion bias was adaptively changed (Experiment 2), grew over time (Experiment 2), and occurred even when motion direction was not the target-defining feature in the task (Experiment 3). In Experiment 4 we manipulated the speed of targets and distractors, and again found that participants remembered the dynamic feature (now speed) as biased away from the distractors, suggesting the generalisability of the effect. Our findings provide compelling evidence that dynamic stimulus attributes in attentional templates can become functionally biased.
Development of a Scale for Assessing Fussy Eating Behaviour in Children
Authors: Jabeen Mehwish
Published: June 2023

This study aimed to investigate fussy eating behaviour in 3-9-year-old children by developing a new scale to assess its true nature in our culture. By exploring phenomenology among indigenous individuals, a scale for fussy eating behaviour was created. For this purpose, a group of people who have or are experiencing this problem (fussy eating) were asked to express their thoughts and feelings, and respond to it. Afterwards, expert’s validation process involved five experts. The next stage involved creating a league table and finalizing scale’s items by removing the outliers from the item list. So the final list of fussy eating behaviour scale has 37 items in total. By running factor analysis, a total of two factors “Behavioural Responders” and “General Attitude” were extracted from the fussy eating behaviour scale. The psychometric properties were revealed to be acceptable with Cronbach alpha 0.93 and test retest r= .79 and valid a scale with acceptable psychometric properties. The study found that fussy eating behaviour is more common in girls and in early childhood. It is also more likely to be displayed in children with more siblings. However, there were no differences between clinical and non-clinical populations. To increase reliability, fathers should also be included in interviews, as mothers may sometimes overstate their children's eating issues. More research is needed to confirm the norms of the scale and make it more practically useful.
Belief in conspiracy theories and satisfaction in interpersonal relationships
Authors: Toribio-Flórez Daniel , Green Ricky , Douglas Karen
Published: June 2023

Researchers have theorized about how belief in conspiracy theories can negatively affect interpersonal relationships. However, despite growing anecdotal evidence of the effects that conspiracy theories seem to have on people’s relationships, a systematic assessment of these effects is lacking. In seven studies (six of them preregistered; N = 2526), we examined whether people’s perceptions of others’ conspiracy beliefs were negatively associated with their actual (or anticipated) relationship satisfaction with those others. We found that participants’ perceptions of their social contacts’ beliefs in general (Study 1-2) and specific conspiracy theories (Study 3) were negatively associated with their relationship satisfaction with those contacts. Using a hypothetical scenario, we further observed that participants anticipated that their relationship satisfaction would worsen when one of these social contacts explicitly endorsed (vs. opposed) a conspiracy theory (Studies 4, 5a-5b). Finally, participants expected lower relationship satisfaction with a stranger who endorsed (vs. opposed) a conspiracy theory in their online dating profile (Study 6). Importantly, across all studies we observed that participants’ own conspiracy beliefs moderated the association between others’ conspiracy beliefs and relationship satisfaction, revealing a similarity-dissimilarity pattern: while the association was negative among participants with weaker conspiracy beliefs, we observed signals of reversal among participants with stronger conspiracy beliefs. Our findings further suggest that a process of attitudinal distancing (among other relational changes) could explain why perceived conspiracy beliefs negatively predicted relationship satisfaction. Taken together, this research provides evidence that conspiracy beliefs have the potential to harm interpersonal relationships.
Reflective function impairment and concretism in online self-representation of Anorexia Nervosa sufferers.
Authors: Burnett Sophia
Published: June 2023

Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterised in part by a compromised reflective function—adults’ ability to envision mental states in themselves and in others. This paper provides evidence that the typographical variant minuscule first-person subject pronoun, hereafter referred to as NS1sg (), is mobilized for its iconic properties by persons suffering from the psychopathology. The results identify the NS1sg as a potential semantic marker for Anorexia Nervosa and are particularly important as concretism is often a barrier to recovery. Objective: To contribute to the understanding of the linguistic repercussions of reflective function loss through the analysis of the non-standard 1sg as a potential marker of anorexia nervosa.Method: Theoretical and empirical. Proposition of a hybridised referential framework composed of a personal and a social triadic function—to better illustrate the representational repercussions of reflective impairment and concretism on self-representation. Linguistic and statistic analysis of a corpus of 27k anonymized tokens taken from a public online Anorexia Nervosa support page.Results: The NS1sg (i) is significantly (p<0.001, at significance level 0.05) more prevalent in discourse from the Anorexia Nervosa corpus than in the control corpus. Lexical analysis shows some promising evidence of intra-utterance code switching as temporal anaphora.
A transdiagnostic, dimensional classification of anxiety shows improved parsimony and predictive noninferiority to DSM
Authors: Stade Elizabeth Cameron , DeRubeis Robert , Ungar Lyle H , Ruscio Ayelet Meron
Published: June 2023

The current classification of anxiety is cumbersome; does not align with evidence that anxiety problems cut across disorder categories; and fails to acknowledge that severity of anxiety matters, even at low levels. We developed a new classification that distills key features of anxiety – intensity, avoidance, pervasiveness, and onset – across disorders, allowing any individual to be located along a gradient from none to severe for each feature. This transdiagnostic dimensional approach is much simpler than the current DSM approach to anxiety, incorporates information about severity, and performs just as well as DSM diagnoses in predicting important clinical outcomes.

Published: June 2023

The superior temporal sulcus (STS) combines auditory and visual information. However, the extentto which it relies on visual information from the ventral or dorsal stream remains uncertain. We usedartificial neural networks to investigate the relationship between response patterns in auditory cortex,the two visual streams, and the rest of the brain, finding that distinct portions of the STS combineauditory information with information from the two visual streams.
Remythologising Satan: A New Version of The Fall of Lucifer.
Authors: Blaber Richard Michael
Published: June 2023

Satan, Shaitan, or Iblis, features in Christian and Islamic mythology as the personification of evil; he is a somewhat more ambiguous figure, morally, in Judaism. The story of his Fall from his angelic state as Lucifer, or Phōsphoros, is self-contradictory, however, and is overdue for a critical re-examination, which this paper seeks to provide, asking if an old myth can be re-cast in a new, and more fruitful, form.

Authors: Tsolak Dorian , Knauff Stefan , Kühne Simon , Nguyen H. Long
Published: June 2023

X-GTA (The Cross Topic German Twitter Archive) comprises an extensive assortment of over two billion German-language Tweets, captured in the period spanning from October 2018 to March 2023. Recognizing the significant role that Twitter has come to play as a data source for scholarly investigations, we initiated this project to aggregate German Tweets without subject restrictions, thereby generating a multifaceted dataset reflecting a broad spectrum of themes. Consequently, X-GTA does not merely facilitate comprehensive analyses of topic discourse on Twitter, but also empowers comparative studies of different themes and their temporal popularity shifts. This article elaborates on the methodologies employed in data collection, generation, management, and data access, and serves as a detailed guide to the information contained in the X-GTA dataset.
Internal and International Migration in “Schengenland”. Selectivity of the young Spanish migration.
Authors: Lopez-Blanco Jose David
Published: June 2023

"The study of the links between internal and international migration has traditionally been neglected in migration research, a shortfall that is particularly pronounced within the context of the European Union (EU) and its free movement policy, which resembles internal migration in terms of human agency. This paper investigates the factors influencing migration among Spanish graduates four years after their graduation, drawing on data from nationally representative surveys to examine the temporal interconnectedness of migration and how previous experiences as student migrants affect postgraduate migratory behavior and decisions. Our analysis uncovers a significant correlation between student migration and the type of migration undertaken after graduation. Moreover, we explore the economic and social resource dependencies and the educational selectivity across different migration types, noting especially marked reliance among intra-European movers. Our results also bring to light the complementary nature of migration motivations and skill development, indicating a complex mix of factors that drive migration decisions. Despite the apparent simplicity of movement within the Schengen Area, our study emphasizes persistent regional disparities, suggesting shortcomings in EU mobility policies, particularly regarding their role in creating equal opportunities across regions. This finding suggests that a reevaluation of existing policies is necessary, providing a critical viewpoint on the actual effects of free movement within the EU.
Differentiated Legality: Understanding the Sources of Immigrants’ Deportation Fear
Authors: Waldinger Roger , Hoffmann Nathan Isaac , Lai Tianjian
Published: June 2023

All non-citizens face risk of deportation, but a variety of factors unequally stratify this risk. To capture the range of formally unequal statuses produced by migration control systems, we introduce the concept of “differentiated legality.” This paper applies this framework to analyze perceived deportation risk reported by 1,976 immigrants from a range of origin countries in the Collaborative Multi-racial Post-election Survey (CMPS), collected between 2016-2017. Findings show that unauthorized immigrants and immigrants with temporary authorized status worry more than naturalized citizens about being deported. Respondents who know someone who has been deported and who were interviewed in a language other than English express greater fear of deportation, even in models that control for other factors. In addition, system embeddedness — i.e., frequent exposure to state surveillance — may increase deportation fears, even among those with comparatively secure legal statuses. Our paper is a significant contribution to understandings of citizenship, legality, and how immigrants experience deportability.
Students' Interpretation of Plot Types Commonly Used in Scientific Communication
Authors: Penny Charley
Published: June 2023

Data visualisations are common in scientific research, yet they are frequently misinterpreted due to our cognitive biases. Despite students being a key audience of scientific journals, there is a lack of research investigating how the type of visualisation impacts student interpretation accuracy. This study examined how students interpret commonly used data visualisations in scientific communication. 51 participants voluntarily completed an online experiment via the platform Qualtrics, where they were presented with three plot types: bar graphs with confidence interval error bars, bar graphs with standard deviation error bars and raincloud plots. The graphs displayed two groups with either a small or medium effect size, to represent no statistical significance, or statistical significance, respectively. Participants decided whether there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups for each graph and rated their confidence on a Likert scale of 1-5. After the exclusion criteria, 27 participants were included in the final sample. Two 3 x 2 factorial ANOVAs were conducted to analyse the results where the measures were the means of the correct responses and the means of the confidence ratings. Findings showed a significant large interaction between graph and effect size for both students’ accuracy and confidence rating. Students were both the most accurate and the most confident with bar graphs with confidence interval error bars for the medium effect size data. These findings demonstrate that bar graphs with confidence interval error bars can be an effective plot type for this task. This study also provides an evidence base for raincloud plots.

CALCULATION OF PURSE LINE DRAWING TIME WITH SHIP CAPACITY 30-50 GT AT NORTH ACEH
Authors: Hutapea Roma Yuli Felina , Mardiah Ratu Sari , Syaputra Wewen Nassa
Published: June 2023

The main problem with purse seine operations is the erratic purse line pull time. This greatly affects the total catch obtained in each trip. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the correlation value of purse line pull time and total catch, then analyze the effect between the two. The research method used is experimental fishing for 3 months. The implementation time was carried out in March-June 2020. The data analysis used was correlation analysis, ANOVA and regression. The correlation value (r) between purse line pulling time and total catch is 0.72 (strong). Based on the ANOVA value, which resulted in significantly different values, the purse line pull time significantly affected the total catch. The purse line pull time factor affects the total catch by 52% and 48% is influenced by other factors. The linear regression equation is y = 6261.2 - 2.3102x. The value of constant b has a negative value, so each additional purse line pull time will reduce the total catch. The results of this study can be used as the basis for the development of purse seine puller technology to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of purse seine operations.

Authors: Sharma Yam Prasad
Published: June 2023

Contemporary Nepali artist K. K. Karmacharya's artworks present socio-cultural issues of the contemporary context of Nepal. The life of the people, their context and activities vividly appear on the canvas. The paintings explore spiritual themes, cultural rituals and social activities in the community. The compositions not only represent the external world but also respond to the situation in visual form. Nepali tradition and ordinary works get space on his canvas. Some art forms mirror the society as it is and some works take corrective measures. They criticize the people and society from distance. The works are connected to the artist, his surroundings and his living experience. This study follows a qualitative approach for research since the artworks can be interpreted in multiple ways.

As Aristotle has rightly said that man is a social animal. Social connectivity is must for any human being to develop oneself and to form healthy social relationships in a society. The social intelligence of teachers plays an important role in dealing with students, parents, and other member of society and pre service teachers will consequently join the schools and they will be directly responsible for social development of the children studying there. The aim of present study is to compare the social intelligence of pupil teachers (B. Ed students). The method used in the present study was descriptive survey method. Sampleof the study included B. Ed students of different B. Ed colleges affiliated to Kumaun University Nainital. Mean, SD, t-test were employed to statistically analyze the data. The findings of the study indicate that in some dimensions of social intelligence pupil teachers differ statistically like in patience dimension asit is found that female pupil teachers are more patient that male pupil teachers. In the dimension named cooperativeness male pupil teachers’ score was statistically higher than females. Female pupil teachers were found more able to recognize a social situation than males and, on the dimension, named humour it was shown that male pupil teachers were more humorous than females. Whereas in other dimensions of social intelligence they do not differ statistically namely; sensitivity, confidence, tactfulness and memory and total social intelligence on the basis of gender.

Kerukunan umat beragama menjadi hal yang penting dalam menjaga stabilitas negara. Di tengah-tengah kondisi politik Indonesia yang masih berproses menemukan pola yang lebih matang, identitas keagamaan sering kali menjadi salah satu cara dalam prosesnya. Salah satu upaya Kementerian Agama dalam memetakan kerukunan baik secara nasional maupun provinsi yaitu dengan menyelenggarakan Survei Kerukunan Umat Beragama. Hasil survei tersebut yang menjadi dasar dari tulisan ini yang mencoba menawarkan pilihan rekomendasi khususnya bagi Provinsi Banten. Data tersebut diolah dan disajikan bersama studi pustaka yang berkaitan dengan kerukunan dan kearifan lokal. Studi memperlihatkan tren yang positif pada Indeks Kerukunan Umat Beragama sejak tahun 2015 hingga 2022 secara nasional meskipun dalam setiap provinsi beberapa di antaranya mengalami fluktuasi. Rekomendasi kebijakan ini berkisar kepada kebijakan terkait kerukunan umat beragama, moderasi beragama dan kearifan lokal. Provinsi Banten yang sejak dahulu memiliki akar budaya dan kearifan lokal memiliki modal yang kuat untuk memelihara kerukunan antar umat beragama.
MERESOLUSI NILAI-NILAI KEBERSAMAAN PEMELUK AGAMA DI BANTEN MELALUI PENGUATAN MODERASI BERAGAMA
Authors: Perwira Reza
Published: June 2023

Tulisan ini bertujuan menganalisis kerukunan umat beragama di Provinsi Banten yang saat ini dihadapkan pada kondisi yang paradoks. Beberapa studi menunjukkan adanya praktik-praktik intoleran di provinsi itu yang mencederai kerukunan umat beragama. Di sisi lain, kebijakan mengenai kerukunan umat beragama menunjukkan hasil yang positif seperti ditunjukkan melalui indeks kerukunan umat beragama pada tahun 2022. Tulisan ini menggunakan hasil Survey Indeks Kerukunan Umat Beragama di wilayah Provinsi Banten sebagai sumber data primer. Berbagai hasil riset mengenai kerukunan umat beragama yang dilakukan oleh Balai Litbang Agama Jakarta dan wawancara dengan beberapa pemangku kebijakan di Banten digunakan sebagai data dukung. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua kebijakan yang saling berbeda arah. Kebijakan kerukunan umat beragama seolah terhalang oleh “dinding” paradigma etnosentris dengan menjunjung tinggi kearifan lokal bernuansa keagamaan. Sementara itu, kebijakan pemajuan kebudayaan terimplementasi melalui kekuatan keselarasan agama-budaya masyarakat Banten yang berkembang menjadi paradigma etnosentris dalam bentuk kearifan-kearifan lokal bernuansa agama yang terpelihara sebagai warisan leluhur. Tulisan ini dengan begitu merekomendasikan moderasi beragama dapat diimplementasikan dan dilaksanakan secara formal oleh pemerintah daerah dan Kementerian Agama dengan strategi pendekatan kultural terhadap semua individu masyarakat. Penguatan moderasi beragama harus diterapkan secara menyeluruh kepada setiap elemen bangsa, baik pemerintah ataupun masyarakat, baik orang dewasa maupun generasi muda yang telah memahami arti kebersamaan dan perbedaan.

Published: June 2023

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a free-floating left atrial ball thrombus in a 56-year-old male patient who was taking warfarin for mechanical prosthetic mitral valve and had recently short-term warfarin interruption for noncardiac surgery and bridging with enoxaparin was admitted to an external center for left abdominal pain and after the detection of spleen and renal infarct, the patient was referred to us for further examination. The patient, who was considered to be at high risk for surgical intervention by the cardiac surgeons, was treated with a warfarin regimen and on the 14th day of the treatment, computed tomography (CT) scan showed that the thrombus disappeared. According to this case report, if patients who have a free-floating left atrial ball thrombus are at high risk for surgical intervention, warfarin therapy can be considered as an alternative to surgery.

Local history organizations in the study and preservation of the native language and ethnoculture of the Chuvash in the 1920s
Authors: Sergeev Tikhon Sergeevich , Agaeva Ekaterina Vasilievna
Published: June 2023

The establishment of the Soviet power on the territory of the Russian empire led to a new system of values, activation of the population in all fields of the social life. In the sphere of museum building in the 1920s a noticeable role was played by such public scientific and educational associations as the Society for the Study of the Local Territory in Cheboksary (1921-1931) and the Society for the Study of Chuvash Culture in Moscow (1927-1931). The main aim of the article is to reveal the history of the formation and work of these organizations. The material is presented chronologically. Having established close contacts with scientific institutions throughout Russia and with famous scientists, the local history organizations with a wide network of branches and cells promoted an in-depth study and development of the economy and culture of the Chuvash region and the spiritual culture of the Chuvash, half of whose population lived outside the territory of the autonomy. The special attention these societies paid to the development of the native language and culture of the Chuvash people that allowed the Chuvash people to realize their national identity. During the first decade of the Chuvash Soviet autonomy some successes in the formation of local lore as a science were achieved. On the territory of Chuvashia local history institutions and organizations made a significant contribution to the study of nature, economy, productive forces of the region, as well as the spiritual life of the people. In this period it was the Society for the Study of the Local Territory in Cheboksary and the Society for the Study of Chuvash Culture in Moscow that promoted the preservation and development of the Chuvash language.
Most Appropriate Radiation Therapy Techniques for The Breast Cancer Treatment: Dosimetric Analysis of Three Different Radiation Therapy Methods
Authors: Tumanova Kristina , Nidal Salim , Tumanova Kristina , Popodko Alexey , Stolbovoy Alexander
Published: June 2023

Background: Radiation-induced cardiac events and pneumonitis are the major late radiotherapy side effects.
Methods: We explored the differences in dose distribution between 3D CRT, IMRT and VMAT in 125 women with unilateral breast cancer. The various dose distribution to the tumor and OARs were studied for left and right sided irradiation.
Results: Upon using 3D CRT breasts with lymph nodes, we observed a significant dose increase in the ipsilateral lung. Having irradiated only the right breast, there was a negligible Dmean difference to the adjacent lung between three methods, likewise for the myocardium in left breast cases. For right-sided cases 3D CRT showed the lowest doses in myocardium.
Conclusion: Radiation oncologists should consider VMAT if conditions do not allow devising three plans with different methods. This in turn will reduce cardio and pneumotoxicity of left breast cancer treatment. In the treatment of right breast cancer, physicians should focus on 3D CRT.

The article deals with the problem of social orphanhood as a result of labour migration of parents. It requires effective assistance to children in combating the negative consequences of the distant way of family existence. The long absence of parents in a child' daily life affects his or her psychical and emotional state. It can lead to deprivation (inability to meet basic life needs for a long time), in particular, sensory deprivation (reduction in the number of sensitive stimulus or their restriction); cognitive deprivation (the structure of the surrounding world is perceived without a clear order and meaning); emotional deprivation (restrictions in establishing emotional contact or interruption of emotional connection); social deprivation (limited ability to understand an independent social role through identification with an adult). It has been established that the basis of social and pedagogical work with children of labour migrants is made up of social work technologies, which include social adaptation; rehabilitation; compensation; prevention; correction; social support; social protection; social security, social control; social propaganda, etc. It has been studied that internally displaced persons (IDPs) need to solve basic household issues and a range of problems faced by distant families (if one of the parents remained in the occupied territory or abroad, and the children in Ukraine), but in an advanced post-traumatic state. As for children of labour migrants (as children in care) and children from internally displaced persons (IDPs), general secondary education establishments (GSEEs) in Rivne provide social and pedagogical measures for adaptation, diagnosis, prevention of these children from falling into the «risk group», psychological correction and psychotherapy, and social support.

A goal-setting technique could be considered as one of the modern tools of client-centered social work. Such techniques are designed to motivate and direct the client to achieve a specific goal and result. The paper systematizes academic approaches to understanding the theory of goal setting, defines the specifics of its practical use in social work, and presents specific goal setting techniques that have been tested as part of structured interventions for clients who are in difficult life circumstances and are motivated to change them.The elaboration of social work interventions must be based on the understanding that goals, by their very nature, are more attainable and accessible than wishes, intentions or dreams. Their formulation by social work clients who are in difficult life circumstances and may have a reduced social perspective cannot be considered a simple process, since it requires the use of specific techniques such as setting goals and tasks («Wheel of life balance», various visualizations and discussions; «Map achievement of goals», «Suitcase of goals»), as well as the implementation of steps to achieve them (diaries, weekly goal achievement maps, skill trackers, coaching, etc.).As evidenced by the literature review, the authors’ own experience, as well as the results of other applied studies, the goal-setting theory contains ideas and concepts that are consistent with the basic principles of professional social work. It suggests that the client and the social worker work together to find differences in the client's current state of life and the outcome he or she is striving for. The paper reveals that goal setting stimulates activity, initiative and motivation of clients, encourages choice and forms a sense of responsibility for this choice, and thus strengthens the client-centeredness of social work.
