Interdisciplinary Medical And Dental Desensitization For People With Autism
Authors: Babikian Victoria , Kadota Lena , Valeriano Allison
Published: August 2020

Premier HealthCare, a member of the YAI Network, specializes in outpatient healthcare services (such as primary care, dentistry, psychiatry, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, psychological testing, and nutrition) for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in New York City. This is one of the most in need, yet underserved, groups of medical and dental patients. Many people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulty understanding the significance of healthcare procedures and become overwhelmed by the unfamiliar environment and sensory input of medical and dental practices. They may also have difficulty with communication and socialization, which can exacerbate anxiety and challenging behaviors such as self-stimulation, self-injury, aggression, and tantrums. Additionally, this heightened level of stress can potentially translate into disruptive behaviors or physical reactions to avoid treatment. These challenges combined with a lack of healthcare professionals trained and experienced in working with people with ASD can result in ineffective preventative care and high-cost procedures.   
At Premier HealthCare, a desensitization program was initiated to increase functional participation in medical and dental exams and decrease use of physical restraints or general anesthesia for people with ASD. An interdisciplinary team of occupational therapists, behavior analysts, doctors, nurses, and dentists collaborate to address how to make medical and dental procedures more tolerable for patients with special needs using a protocol comprising of four main stages: evaluation, treatment, generalization, and maintenance. They work with caregivers to provide person-centered individualized care, ultimately leading to decreased anxiety, fear, and aggressive behaviors; increased participation; and better health outcomes for people with autism.

The purpose of this study was to determine the activity of Mau Sigaro farmer group in Gamsungi village and identified internal and external factors that became the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats of the honey bee cultivation business, in order to find a good strategy to develop it using SWOT matrix. The result of SWOT analysis showed the strength point was consisted of professional human resorces, received capital assistance, produced a pure honey, and short marketing channel. The weakness of this farmer group was limited opportunity for all the member to join some workshop related to honey bee cultivation, needed more capital assistance to pay the maintenance expense, the price of the product was cheap, using manual technic, and none market promotion. The opportunities identified as the support from the government to the farmer group and it had gained consumer trust towards the product. The threats was found as weather exchange, it had not used technology to gain information, and it still did not have a permanent marketing partner to distribute the product. Alternative stategy can be used to develope the honey bee business based on SWOT result is Mau Sigaro farmer group needs to gain more relation with the government and marketing partner, increase the number of production and the quality of the product, send the member to join honey bee cultivation workshop, using the newest technology in honey bee cultivation and mass communication to spread the product information, and using an attractive packaging to gain more consumers.                                                          Key words: honey bee cultivation, farmer group, developing strategy, SWOT
Salomi Boukala. “European identity and the representation of Islam in the mainstream press: Argumentation and media discourse”
Authors: Serafis Dimitris
Published: August 2020

In her book European identity and the representation of Islam in the mainstream press: Argumentation and media discourse, Salomi Boukala offers us a thoroughly interdisciplinary and extremely timely scrutiny of print media communication in times of profound crises in Europe. Boukala interweaves Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Argumentation theory, employing also notions and principles coming from the fields of Political Sciences, Anthropology, (Cultural) Political Economy. In particular, the author examines how “specific [European] newspapers with opposite ideological background […] construct the European supranational identity via references to the EU and the representation of Islam as a common, European ‘Other’” (p. 7).

Authors: Hikmata Sandy Angga , Syauqillah Muhamad
Published: August 2020

Abstrak             Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang perubahan ketahanan energi Turki setelah TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Pipeline) berhasil dibangun di Turki pada Juni 2018. TANAP merupakan proyek yang dibangun atas kerjasama Turki dan Azerbaijan. Turki merupakan negara dengan kebutuhan energi yang sangat tinggi dan kebutuhan ini meningkat sebanyak 8% per tahunnya. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan energinya, Turki sangat bergantung pada distribusi energi dari Rusia dalam bentuk gas alam. Namun, hubungan yang tidak stabil antara Rusia dan Ukraina membuat distribusi energi dari Rusia sering terhambat dan besarnya ketergatungan Turki terhadap sumber energi Rusia menyebabkan ketahanan energi Turki berada dalam kondisi yang tidak baik. Hal ini kemudian menggerakkan Turki untuk mencari sumber energi alternatif untuk mengatasi ketergantungan energi terhadap Rusia ini. Tesis ini pertama-tama akan menganalisa hubungan interdependensi dalam hubungan energi yang berpotensi bersifat asimetris antara Turki dan Rusia dan implikasi yang ditimbulkan dari hubungan asimetris ini. Setelah itu peneliti akan mengkaji pengaruh TANAP terhadap ketahanan energi gas alam di Turki dan pengaruhnya terhadap perubahan interdependensi antara kedua negara. TANAP ternyata tidak terlalu merubah interdependensi energi Turki terhadap Rusia secara signifikan. Abstract               This paper reviews the change of Turkey’s energy security after Turkey managed to construct TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Pipeline) at June 2018. TANAP is a project built within cooperation between Turkey and Azerbaijan. Turkey is a country with vast energy needs with average increase of 8% per year. To meet their energy needs, Turkey highly rely on energy from Russia’s natural-gas. However, fragile relation between Russia and Ukraine caused energy distribution from Russia agitated, and Turkey’s high reliance on Russia’s energy supply causing Turkey in a low energy security state. For this reason, Turkey is looking for alternative energy source to overcome their high reliance on Russia’s natural gas. This thesis firstly will analyze interdependence relationship in the context of energy between Turkey and Russia that potentially has asymmetric nature and the implication that could arises in that relationship. Afterwards, author will review how TANAP change Turkey’s natural-gas security and how it changes interdependency between the two countries. As a result, TANAP does not significantly change Turkey-Russia interdependence.

Published: August 2020

Background:

The frontotemporal brain sagging syndrome (FTBSS) is defined as an insidious/progressive decline in behavior and executive functions, hypersomnolence, and orthostatic headaches attributed to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypovolemia. Here, a T6 CSF-venous fistula (e.g., between the subarachnoid CSF and a paraspinal vein) resulted in a CSF leak responsible for craniospinal hypovolemia.

Case Description:

A 56-year-old male started with orthostatic headaches and fatigue after scuba diving. His symptoms included progressive, vertigo, tinnitus, nausea, lack of judgment, inappropriate behavior, memory dysfunction, apathy, tremor, orofacial dyskinesia, dysarthria, dysphagia, and hypersomnolence. The lumbar puncture revealed an opening pressure of 0 cm H2O. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings included brain sagging, bilateral temporal lobe herniation, and pachymeningeal enhancement. The computed tomography (CT) myelogram showed a thoracic diverticulum and a CSF-venous leak at the T6-T7 level. Surgery, which comprised a T6-T7 laminotomy, allowed for dissecting, clipping, and ligating the diverticulum/fistula. The patient improved postoperatively (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, and brainstem symptoms). The follow-up MRI’s showed the reversion of the sagging index/uncal herniation.

Conclusion:

The FTBSS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an early onset frontotemporal dementia. Establishing the diagnosis and localizing the site of a spinal CSF/venous leak warrant both MRI and myelogram CT studies, to pinpoint the CSF leak site for proper surgical clipping/ligation of these thoracic diverticulum/CSF-venous leaks.
Competition Between Cyclization and Unusual Norrish Type I and Type II Nitro-Acyl Migration Pathways in the Photouncaging of 1-Acyl-7-nitroindoline Revealed by Computations
Authors: Morgante Pierpaolo , Guruge Charitha , Ouedraogo Yannick P. , Nesnas Nasri , Peverati Roberto
Published: August 2020

The 7-nitroindolinyl family of caging chromophores has received much attention in the past two decades. However, its uncaging mechanism is still not clearly understood. In this study, we performed state-of-the-art density functional theory calculations to unravel the photo-uncaging mechanism in its entirety, and we compared the probabilities of all plausible pathways. We found competition between a classical cyclization and acyl migration pathways, and here we explain the electronic and steric reasons behind such competition. The migration mechanism possesses the characteristics of a combined Norrish Type I and a 1,6-nitro-acyl variation of a Norrish Type II mechanism, which is reported here for the first time. We also introduced a computational procedure that allows the estimation of intersystem crossing rate constants useful to compare the relative quantum yield of substituted cages. This procedure may pave the way for improved cage designs that possess higher quantum yields and a more efficient agonist release.
Voltammetric pH Measurements in Unadulterated Foodstuffs, Urine, and Serum with 3D-Printed Graphene/poly(lactic Acid) Electrodes
Authors: Rabboh Fakher M. , O'Neil Glen
Published: August 2020

The pH of a system is a critical descriptor of its chemistry – impacting reaction rates, solubility, chemical speciation, and homeostasis. As a result, pH is one of the most commonly measured parameters in food safety, clinical, and environmental laboratories. Glass pH probes are the gold standard for pH measurements, but suffer drawbacks including frequent recalibration, wet storage of the glass membrane, difficulty in miniaturization, and interferences from alkali metals. In this work, we describe a voltammetric pH sensor that uses a 3D-printed graphene/poly(lactic acid) filament electrode that is pretreated to introduce quinone functional groups to the graphene surface. After thoroughly characterizing the pretreatment parameters using outer-sphere and inner-sphere redox couples, we measured pH by reducing the surface-bound quinones, which undergo a pH-dependent 2e–/2H+ reduction. The position of the redox peak was found to shift –60 ± 2 mV pH-1 at 25 ºC, which is in excellent agreement with the theoretical value predicted by the Nernst Equation (–59.2 mV pH-1). Importantly, the sensors did not require the removal of dissolved oxygen prior to successful pH measurements. We investigated the impact of common interfering species (Pb2+ and Cu2+) and found that there was no impact on the measured pH. We subsequently challenged the sensors to measure the pH of unadulterated complex samples including cola, vinegar, serum, and urine, and obtained excellent agreement compared to a glass pH electrode. In addition to the positive analytical characteristics, the sensors are extremely cheap and easy to fabricate, making them highly accessible to a wide range of researchers. These results pave the way for customizable pH sensors that can be fabricated in (nearly) any geometry for targeted applications using 3D-printing.

Cell surface engineering with synthetic glycomimetic co-receptors for FGF2 was used to establish gradients of stem cells with enhanced FGF2 affinity in embryoid bodies (EBs). Gradient shape was controlled by pre-assembly of glycomimetics into nanoscale vesicles with tunable dimensions and EB penetrance.
Branching Corrected Mean Field Method for Nonadiabatic Dynamics
Authors: Xu Jiabo , Wang Linjun
Published: August 2020

When describing nonadiabatic dynamics based on trajectories, severe trajectory branching occurs when the nuclear wave packets on some potential energy surfaces are reflected while those on the remaining surfaces are not. As a result, the traditional Ehrenfest mean field (EMF) approximation breaks down. In this study, two versions of the branching corrected mean field (BCMF) method are proposed. Namely, when trajectory branching is identified, BCMF stochastically selects either the reflected or the non-reflected group to build the new mean field trajectory or splits the mean field trajectory into two new trajectories with the corresponding weights. As benchmarked in six standard model systems and an extensive model base with two hundred diverse scattering models, BCMF significantly improves the accuracy while retaining the high efficiency of the traditional EMF. In fact, BCMF closely reproduces the exact quantum dynamics in all investigated systems, thus highlighting the essential role of branching correction in nonadiabatic dynamics simulations of general systems.
Development of Triantennary N-Acetylgalactosamine Conjugates as Degraders for Extracellular Proteins
Authors: Zhou Yaxian , teng peng , Tang Weiping
Published: August 2020

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) technology has drawn significant attention from researchers in both academia and industry. It is rapidly evolved as a new therapeutic modality and also a useful chemical tool in selectively depleting various protein targets. As most efforts focus on cytosolic proteins using PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC), LYsosome TArgeting Chimera (LYTAC) recently emerged as a promising technology to deliver extracellular protein targets to lysosome for degradation through cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-M6PR). In this study, we exploited the potential of asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), a lysosomal targeting receptor specifically expressed on liver cells, for the degradation of extracellular proteins. The ligand of ASGPR, triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine (tri-GalNAc), was conjugated to biotin, antibodies, or fragments of antibodies to generate a new class of degraders. We demonstrated that the extracellular protein targets could be successfully internalized and delivered into lysosome for degradation in a liver cell line specifically by these degraders. We also observed that more efficient delivery could be achieved for smaller degrader/target complexes. This work will add a new dimension to the TPD with cell type specificity.
Editorial Introduction
Authors: JIOWS Editors of the
Published: August 2020

The editors are proud to present the first issue of the fourth volume of the Journal of Indian Ocean World Studies. This issue contains three articles, by James Francis Warren (Murdoch University), Kelsey McFaul (University of California, Santa Cruz), and Marek Pawelczak (University of Warsaw), respectively. Warren’s and McFaul’s articles take different approaches to the growing body of work that discusses pirates in the Indian Ocean World, past and present. Warren’s article is historical, exploring the life and times of Julano Taupan in the nineteenth-century Philippines. He invites us to question the meaning of the word ‘pirate’ and the several ways in which Taupan’s life has been interpreted by different European colonists and by anti-colonial movements from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. McFaul’s article, meanwhile, takes a literary approach to discuss the much more recent phenomenon of Somali Piracy, which reached its apex in the last decade. Its contribution is to analyse the works of authors based in the region, challenging paradigms that have mostly been developed from analysis of works written in the West. Finally, Pawelczak’s article is a legal history of British jurisdiction in mid-late nineteenth-century Zanzibar. It examines one of the facets that underpinned European influence in the western Indian Ocean World before the establishment of colonial rule. In sum, this issue uses two key threads to shed light on the complex relationships between European and other Western powers and the Indian Ocean World.

Published: August 2020

The onset of COVID-19 has harmed community pharmacy. As a result, the current study sought to investigate how the coronavirus disease affected community pharmacies from an economic perspective. Short interviews were conducted with 158 community pharmacies located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The findings showed that most of the community pharmacies incurred losses of over 10% as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during its first month in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, the findings revealed that 19.6% of the pharmacies had a 0.1-2% profit during the first month,1.9% had 10%+ profit, while 13.9% experienced a drop in profits. According to the findings, 41.8% (n = 66) of the pharmacists were not sure what they dispensed during the first month of COVID 19. However, almost one out of every five pharmacies (n = 31, 19.6%) accepted that they mostly dispensed antipyretic, vitamins, face mask and sanitisers. It could take many years from now until researchers can understand and measure the coronavirus disease as required. Based on these outcomes and possibilities, the study recommends that the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health intervene to enlighten the public on appropriate health practices. Besides, the Ministry of Health may consider engaging with policymakers in developing financial policies that protect community pharmacies and the private sector from potential losses. Moreover, the Ministry of Health may expand the role of community pharmacies to allow them to offer home care services.
The Mosaic Pavements in Philippopolis, Thrace, in 6th c. CE. Some Considerations
Authors: TOPALILOV Ivo
Published: August 2020

The present paper deals with the mosaic pavements from Philippopolis which are known so far and that might be attributed to 6th c. CE. The topic is of interest because there is almost no information in the literature about the urban development of the metropolis, although it seems that the city gained huge prosperity especially from the first half to the middle of that century. As part of this prosperity, one should also regard the mosaic pavements that still preserve their importance as a medium of new ideas and religious requirements. The mosaic pavements discussed decorate both public and private buildings and reveal that the specifics of mosaic art in Philippopolis are to be attributed to both official Constantinopolitan initiatives, especially in the liturgical aspect, and also the tastes of local elites, as well as the craftsmanship of the local mosaic workshop. Taken together, these factors led to a variety of iconography, intertwined motifs, and colours, which make some of the mosaics unique so far in Late antique Thrace.
Sports as a passport to success: life skill integration in a positive youth development program
Authors: Hemphill MA , Gordon Barrie , Wright PM
Published: August 2020

© 2019, © 2019 Association for Physical Education. Background: Sport-based youth development (SBYD) programs aim to teach life skills to youth within a physical activity context. An explicit objective of most SBYD programs is that youth learn to apply, or transfer, life skills beyond the sports program. Limited research has been conducted on the cognitive processes that help youth understand how life skills apply within and beyond sports. Purpose: This study uses a conceptual framework on transfer of life skills to examine the role of life skills in an SBYD program. Research questions include: (1) how does the SBYD program integrate the teaching of life skills, (2) how do youth participants experience the life skills in the boxing program, and (3) how do youth participants perceive the life skills impact them beyond the program. Methodology: This research took place at three community boxing academies in New Zealand. The three academies were selected because they are affiliated with a boxing program that is committed to implementing a life skills framework called the Passport to Success. Forty-one youth (31 boys, 10 girls) across the three sites participated in focus groups interviews about their experience in the program. Additionally, observations of program implementation documented the daily routines of each boxing academy. Using a qualitative case study design, inductive analysis and constant comparative methods were used to identify emergent themes. Findings: Youth participants perceived life skills to be a foundational component of the boxing program. The life skills were presented to youth through the ‘Passport to Success’, a document featuring eight key life skills. The coaches focused on the Passport to Success in several ways, including setting an expectation that youth memorize the life skills to demonstrate their commitment. Several youth participants discussed learning valuable lessons around the life skills. Finally, youth were able to describe scenarios which demonstrated how the life skills connected with other areas of their lives. Conclusion: Life skills implementation was guided by the Passport to Success and an expectation that youth develop positive relationships in the gym. A routine strategy for memorizing the Passport to Success provided a clear example of youth learning the meaning of life skills in the context of sports. The youth participants demonstrated cognitive connections in their explanation of the value of life skills beyond the boxing program. Using the conceptual framework on transfer [Jacobs and Wright 2018. “Transfer of Life Skills in Sport-Based Youth Development Programs: A Conceptual Framework Bridging Learning to Application.” Quest 70 (1): 81–99] helps to explain the cognitive connections youth participants make between life skills in a sports program and their application beyond sports.

Published: August 2020

We report the synthesis of a pyrazine-based bis-tridentate diarylethene (DAE) ligand and the corresponding dinuclear yttrium and dysprosium complexes that all show T-type photochromism. Large changes in the photochromic behaviour are induced by metal coordination, including a tuning of the bleaching rate by several orders of magnitude, characterized through VT-NMR and supported by theoretical calculations. The dysprosium dinuclear complex shows a single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour, under an external applied magnetic field, significantly modulated upon photoisomerization. This feature is further analyzed through ab initio calculations.

Published: August 2020

En México, la captura del recurso pesquero tiburón-cazón (RTC) ocupa el décimo lugar delas 22 pesquerías más representativas del país, con un volumen anual promedio estimado en 29 772 T, y una derrama económica de 437 millones de pesos mexicanos. La captura máxima que se puede obtener sin agotar el recurso en ningún plazo, se denomina rendimiento máximo sostenible (RMS), y es uno de los principales puntos de referencia en la evaluación de pesquerías. El objetivo del presente estudio fue estimar el rendimiento máximo sostenible del recurso pesquero tiburón-cazón, agrupándolo en 26 regiones (México, océano Pacífico, golfo de México, 6 regiones de la NOM-029-PESC-2006 y 17 estados costeros). Se utilizaron series de tiempo de captura (STC), en toneladas por año de captura reportada (Cr) y captura total (Ct) (captura reportada + captura no reportada) del periodo de 1976 a 2014, y se aplicaron modelos empíricos que relacionan la captura máxima de la STC con el RMS. No hubo diferencias significativas entre los modelos. Con base en la Ct y el RMS estimados (T x 103) se evidencia una sobreexplotación del RTC en México (Ct = 51 417, RMS = 29 040), en el océano Pacífico (Ct = 38 654, RMS = 20 840) y en el golfo de México (Ct = 15 737, RMS = 14 540); en la Región 2 (golfo de California) (Ct = 22 664, RMS = 14 330) y Región 5 (línea costera de Tamaulipas, Veracruz y Tabasco) (Ct = 9 202, RMS = 8 510), y en la costa de los estados de Baja California (Ct = 5 781, RMS = 4 880) y Baja California Sur (Ct = 5 950, RMS = 5 510). Es necesario atender de forma urgente la problemática del aprovechamiento de este recurso pesquero en la república mexicana.

Published: August 2020

This work shows the opinion on the specific training in physical activities in natural environment of the Teaching in Primary Education Students of the Faculty of Education (University of Zaragoza). 208 students were surveyed voluntarily during the 2019/20 academic year. They were students of the two subjects whose contents were object of the survey. The questionnaire used contained a 5-point likert scale. The students answered about the influence of these activities on the acquisition of personal, prosocial and training competencies. The highest scores in transversal competencies corresponded to student involvement (4.41 ±.744), teamwork (4.38 ±.758) and research on the practice itself (4.22 ±.761).  Furthermore, respect (4.59 ±.638) and cooperation (4.56 ±.603) were the most valued personal competencies. These issues should serve to guide teachers to redirect a better methodology in their subjects. This work can be extrapolated to any university institution with specific teaching on physical activities in natural environment.

Published: August 2020

In this study, the impacts of internal heat generation on heat transfer enhancement of porous fin is theoretical investigated using differential transform method. The parametric studies reveal that porosity enhances the finheat dissipating capacity but the internal heat generation decreases the heatenhancement capacity of extended surface. Also, it is established that whenthe internal heat parameter increases to some certain values, some negativeeffects are recorded where the fin stores heat rather than dissipating it. Thisscenario defeats the prime purpose of the cooling fin. Additionally, it is established in the present study that the limiting value of porosity parameterfor thermal stability for the passive device increases as internal heat parameter increases. This shows that although the internal heat parameter canhelp assist higher range and value of thermal stability of the fin, it producesnegative effect which greatly defeats the ultimate purpose of the fin. Theresults in the work will help in fin design for industrial applications whereinternal heat generation is involved.

“A gralha soberba e o pavão” (Fedro): uma abordagem semiótica do sujeito
Authors: Almeida Miguél Eugenio
Published: August 2020

Na fábula A GRALHA SOBERBA E O PAVÃO(FEDRO), analisamos o comportamento soberbo da gralha e o comportamento defensivo do pavão humilhando-a pela sua condição limitada de sua formosura. Para tanto, ao investigarmos os comportamentos dos sujeitos gralhae pavão, actantes da narrativa, estamos apresentando as modalidades veridictórias, campo da semiótica objetal desses sujeitos. No caso, verificamos os sujeitos nas estruturas sêmio narrativas, contemplando a sintaxe narrativa superficial, a semântica narrativa, a sintaxe fundamental e a semântica fundamental, baseando-nos principalmente em Greimas e Courtés ([1979]).

No presente artigo apresentamos os resultados da análise dos sentidos da palavra “linguagem” nos dois capítulos iniciais da Gramática do Português Contemporâneode Celso Cunha e Lindley Cintra (1998). Segundo a linha teórica que adotamos, a Semântica do Acontecimento, o sentido é constituído linguisticamente, ou seja, a significação é construída pelas relações de linguagem.E importa, para se observar estas relações de linguagem, compreender a temporalidade em que elas ocorrem. Assim, temos que a enunciação, ou acontecimento do dizer, é que estabelece esta temporalidade, na medida em que recorta um memorável (uma enunciação passada) e produz uma futuridade (latência de futuro), uma vez que, é nessa latência de futuro que se encontram as possibilidades de sentido.  O que fizemos, então, foi uma análise enunciativa do corpusem questão, considerando que, para Guimarães (2009): “O sentido é produzido pelo acontecimento da enunciação”, sendo que a enunciação é considerada como o momento no qual o Locutor, através das realizações enunciativas, entra em contato com aquilo que ele fala. O estudo foi feito observando os procedimentos enunciativos de reescrituração e articulação dentro do texto, para que pudéssemos assim construir o seu DSD (Domínio Semântico de Determinação), que, de acordo com Eduardo Guimarães (2007), apresenta o funcionamento do sentido de uma palavra na enunciação. Este nosso trabalho insere-se em um projeto de pesquisa que vem sendo desenvolvido na Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia, projeto esse que busca compreender os sentidos da palavra interpretaçãoem materiais utilizados para ensino no Brasil.

Sequential Time Construal is Primary in Temporal Uses of Mandarin Chinese qian ‘front’ and hou ‘back’
Authors: Yang Yongfei , Sinha Chris , Filipovic Luna
Published: August 2020

This article addresses two previously unresolved puzzles regarding the relationship between temporal and spatial conceptualizations in Mandarin Chinese. First, apparently conflicting data have led to disagreement over whether temporal usages of the terms qian and hou, whose spatial meanings of ‘front’ and ‘back’ are often considered to be primary, are based on a canonical facing of Ego towards past or towards future. We argue that this issue can be resolved by positing invariant Sequential (S-)Time meanings of, respectively, EARLIER and LATER for these terms, with variable USES to refer to past and future events and perspectives in Deictic (D-)Time being secondary and contextually governed. Second, the question of which of the sagittal, vertical and lateral orientational axes are more fundamental in spatio-temporal language and cognition for Mandarin Chinese speakers has been much debated. We review these issues, propose solutions based on linguistic analysis and report five experiments to test the analysis. Our findings are consistent with our analysis of the primacy in Mandarin Chinese of the invariant S-time construal of the terms qian ‘front’ (=EARLIER) and hou ‘back’ (=LATER) over their contextually governed D-time interpretations as referring to pastness and futurity. We find also that the preferred lexicalization of temporal relations between events by Mandarin speakers involves the sagittal axis terms qian and hou, but this does not mean that this linguistic conceptualization is also imposed by speakers as a preference for the sagittal axis for non-linguistic representations of event sequences. Finally, our data indicate that the temporal meanings of qian and hou (EARLIER and LATER) are more salient for speakers than their spatial meanings (front and back) in motion event conceptualizations.
What do models of visual perception tell us about visual phenomenology?
Authors: Denison Rachel N. , Block Ned , Samaha Jason
Published: August 2020

Computational models of visual processing aim to provide a compact, explanatory account of the complex neural processes that underlie visual perception and behavior. But what, if anything, do current modeling approaches say about how conscious visual experience arises from neural processing? Here, we introduce the reader to four commonly used models for understanding visual computations, neural activity, and behavior: signal detection theory, drift diffusion, probabilistic population codes, and sampling. In an attempt to bridge these modeling approaches with experimental and philosophical work on the neural basis of conscious visual perception, we lay out possible relationships between the components of the models and the contents of phenomenal visual experience. We find no unique relation between model components and phenomenal experience in any model; rather, there are multiple logically possible mappings from models to experience. Going forward, we suggest that there are scientific opportunities to develop models that predict and explain a variety of subjective reports and philosophical opportunities to consider what aspects of phenomenal experience are promising scientific targets.
Evaluating Multinomial Order Restrictions with Bridge Sampling

Published: August 2020

Hypotheses concerning the distribution of multinomial proportions typically entail exact equality constraints that can be evaluated using standard tests. Whenever researchers formulate inequality constrained hypotheses, however, they must rely on sampling-based methods that are relatively inefficient and computationally expensive. To address this problem we developed a bridge sampling routine that allows an efficient evaluation of multinomial inequality constraints. An empirical application showcases that bridge sampling outperforms current Bayesian methods, especially when relatively little posterior mass falls in the restricted parameter space. The method is extended to mixtures between equality and inequality constrained hypotheses.
Disillusionment Predicts Depression
Authors: Niehuis Sylvia
Published: August 2020

The present study examines whether marital disillusionment prospectively predicts individuals’ depressive symptoms or whether the reverse is true, in a regional U.S. newlywed sample surveyed twice roughly 2.5 years apart. Even using extensive control variables, wives’ Phase-1 disillusionment predicted their own Phase-2 depressive symptoms (an actor effect); an analogous pathway did not occur in husbands. No findings in the reverse direction emerged. Further three longitudinal partner-effects in the expected direction emerged, as wives’ P1 disillusionment predicted husbands’ P2 depression and P2 disillusionment, and husbands’ P1 disillusionment predicted wives’ P2 depression. Further, modest support was found for spouses’ interpersonal dynamics (specifically, wives’ satisfaction with time spent together with their husband) accounting for some of the association between wives’ disillusionment and depressive symptoms. The findings extend existing literature by showing that both actor- and partner-effects of disillusionment temporally precede individuals’ depressive symptoms. The discussion examines theoretical and practical implications for disillusionment research.
How the Affective Quality of Social Connections May Contribute to Public Health: Prosocial Tendencies Account for the Links Between Positivity Resonance and Behaviors that Reduce the Spread of COVID-19

Although behaviors such as handwashing, mask wearing and social distancing are known to limit viral spread, early in the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals in the United States did not adopt them. The Positivity Resonance Theory of co-experienced positive affect (Fredrickson, 2016) holds that shared pleasant states that include the key features of mutual care and a sense of oneness through behavioral synchrony, function to build prosocial tendencies (e.g., self-transcendent and other-oriented dispositions of felt unity, empathy, altruism and general positivity toward humanity). We tested the theory-driven hypothesis that prosocial tendencies are associated with high-quality social connections characterized by the affective state of positivity resonance, and in turn account for behaviors to slow the spread of COVID-19. We measured perceived positivity resonance at the level of social episodes either during the COVID-19 pandemic (Study 1, N = 1059, April-May 2020) or before it (Study 2, N = 227, March-November 2019). In both studies, cross-sectionally and prospectively, results suggest that perceived positivity resonance had a positive indirect effect on self-reported hygienic behaviors (e.g., handwashing & mask-wearing), which was mediated by a latent measure of prosocial tendencies. Sensitivity analyses confirmed these mediation effects to be independent of competing predictors of prosocial tendencies (e.g., overall positive and negative affect, frequency of social interaction) and competing predictors of health behaviors (e.g., political orientation, high-risk status, illness symptoms). Effects for social distancing were mixed. Overall, findings are consistent with the view that positivity resonance builds self-transcendent prosocial tendencies that motivate behaviors to protect community health.
