The sample included 205 older adults assessed two times across 6 months. Pre-registered tests showed no evidence of a relationship between plasma oxytocin and the psychological variables assessed.
Mood During Consolidation Retroactively Biases Memory for Past Emotional Events
Authors: Faul Leonard , LaBar Kevin S
Published: December 2023

Mood-congruent memory (MCM) is a well-established phenomenon that occurs when emotional memory is biased towards content affectively congruent with a past or current mood. To date, however, a majority of research in this area has examined how mood directly impacts the encoding or retrieval of emotional memories, with comparatively less work examining the offline effects of mood during early consolidation. To address this gap in the literature, here we induced happy and sad moods after participants encoded emotional stimuli, and then tested memory at least a day later with both recall and recognition tests. Across multiple experiments using different stimuli, induction techniques, and memory tasks, we demonstrate that a change in post-encoding mood is associated with mood-congruent shifts in memory for the affective tone of an emotional experience, while also boosting recognition accuracy for mood-congruent stimuli. These effects were moderated by subjective arousal and self-relevance ratings of the stimuli at encoding, suggesting that phenomenological appraisals of a stimulus shape the influence of mood during consolidation. Our findings propose that MCM can arise from mood states dissociated from the initial encoding or subsequent retrieval of emotional material, such that mood retroactively facilitates MCM even after an emotional experience has already occurred.

Published: December 2023

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to big advancements in Fog Computing, Smart Cities, and Industry 4.0. These areas handle complex data and need strong protection against cyberattacks. To make IoT devices use power more efficiently, the IETF created the RPL protocol (Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks). However, due to its sophisticated design it is vulnerable to attacks. One of the most successful attacks against this protocol is flooding attacks, which leads to resource exhaustion in nodes. Consequently, there is a pressing need for new security methods. Nonetheless, there is a scarcity of readily accessible, comprehensive, and organized datasets specifically tailored for IoT, as well as benchmark datasets, to train and assess machine learning models. Therefore, the primary focus of this research is on creating new labeled IoT-specific datasets with the COOJA simulator and processing these packets with machine learning algorithms. Decision Tree, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbor and Artificial Neural Network algorithms were compared for identifying the Flooding Attacks. The average accuracy obtained for each of the above algorithm is 89.24%, 91.128%, 89.25% and 89.73% respectively.

Authors: Sushma Deo  , Ragni Sinha  , Lokeshwar Chaurasia  , Pankaj Pratap Deo
Published: December 2023

Background and Objectives: Family planning (FP) means a way of thinking, perceiving and utilizing which is accepted voluntarily upon the bases of attitude, knowledge, and important decisions by couples. This study was done to assess level of awareness and pattern of utilizing family planning methods among married women aged 20 to 45 years of reproductive age visiting at Janaki Medical College teaching Hospital, Ramdiaya.

 

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2023 to July 2023 at the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Janaki Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Ramdaiya, Dhanusha, Nepal. One hundred forty three (n=143) women of reproductive age, were interviewed by using a pre-tested semi structured questionnaire. After taking informed written consent, socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude and pattern of using family planning methods were recorded. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21.

Results: Majority (55.94%) of respondents were aware about the different contraceptive methods, and 46.85% of the respondents were using contraceptive methods at the time of our study. 16.08% were using oral contraceptives followed by condoms in 13.98%, tubectomy by 9.09%, vasectomy by 3.49%, traditional methods by 2.09 %, intrauterine device by 1.39% and injectable by 0.69%. The use of contraceptive methods increased with increasing age, number of living children and level of education.

 Conclusion: Average number of women were aware about the contraceptive methods but the practice of contraception and utilization of family planning services were low. A gap was found between knowledge and implementation of contraceptive methods in the study population. This shows the need for more informative awareness campaigns for promoting contraceptive utilization.
Place Making within an Urban Public Milieu: An Ethnographic Study of the New Dwellers in Butwal
Authors: Bhandari Amrit Kumar
Published: December 2023

This paper is based on research undertaken with the main objective of analyzing the modes of place making adopted by the new dwellers within an urban public milieu of Devinagar, Butwal. The data required were collected ethnographically using in-depth interviews, observations, and kuragraphy. The qualitative data analyzed manually have shown that the new dwellers from the rural origin find it chaotic initially but adapt to the urban milieu gradually by using the available public places. The Chautari [public resting place] of Devinagar Chowk, Devi Mandir [Hindu temple] and path [narrow street] and their chowks provide major avenue for adapting to the new socio-cultural context. Moreover, newer people tend to create their identity through the active as well as meaningful contribution in various public activities in their setting. This has eventually enabled them to produce a space of their own. Public places increase familiarity amongst newer and older dwellers and provide a perfect platform for social integration. The place making efforts maximize the dwellers’ chance to enhance their social position. This study shows that people use their financial, social, and other resources to the optimum for turning their place making efforts into a reality. The urban public places and situational junctures in Devinagar provide every dweller with equal chance to experience urban encounters. When these urban encounters occur repeatedly, the social integration process between newer and older dwellers strengthens. This study concludes that the new dwellers who are more skillful to map their opportunities are more successful in using public places more suitably, thereby turning their place making endeavors into a reality.

Published: December 2023

This research discusses the Optimization of the Simponi Application on Non-Tax State Revenue at the Class II Rendani UPBU Office. The study was conducted with the aim of providing an overview of activities related to Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) at the Class II Rendani UPBU Office. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach in the form of field research. Data sources were obtained through observations and interviews with relevant subjects, using data triangulation methodology. This method is useful for enhancing the validity and accuracy of the data obtained as precise information for analysis material. The research results showed that the Simponi Application, in general, greatly assisted in PNBP service implementation due to the presence of tutorials and guidance. The application is highly dependent on the availability of the internet network. The research results indicated that negligence occurred due to the unstable internet network; thus, network mapping and bandwidth improvement are required. Delayed payments and unrecorded receivables happened because there was a lack of specific reminders related to billing codes that were due or unpaid, necessitating special notifications when approaching the payment deadlines.
Indigenous Geographic Knowledge and William Clark’s 1814 Master Map of the West
Authors: Kunkel Matthew
Published: December 2023

Published in 1814, William Clark’s master map of the West remained the most authoritative representation of western American geography until the 1840s. A groundbreaking piece of cartography, the accuracy and detail of Clark’s master map are still lauded by modern scholars today. Known primarily for his role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Clark drew on his own and other contemporary explorations in producing his map. However, the Indigenous knowledge embedded in Clark’s master map is what set it apart from earlier published maps of the West. Clark widely incorporated and appropriated the knowledge that Indigenous geographic informants shared with him during the Lewis and Clark Expedition into his master map. By consulting expeditionary records, including Indigenous maps and journal entries, the author illuminates the previously concealed Indigenous contributions to Clark’s master map.
Public Library Partnerships for Public Health: Health in all Policies (HiAP) as a New Conceptual Framework for LIS Teaching and Research
Authors: Lenstra Noah , Peritore Nicole
Published: December 2023

This article introduces the Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach to the LIS community to propose a new way of thinking and teaching about how health is supported in public libraries. The topic of consumer health literacy has been a mainstay in the discourse of public librarianship, but we argue that this approach has not fully supported public librarians seeking to find uniquely local ways to support public health. Health in All Policies (HiAP) was developed by public health researchers and policy makers as a mechanism to promote health by facilitating action across sectors, including those where health is not a primary organizational focus. HiAP's focus on multi-sector community health systems opens a conceptual space for thinking about how to strategically and proactively support and advocate for public libraries and public librarians as one sector among many that contribute to community health. This approach could be a positive alternative to the sometimes negative experiences of public librarians being asked, or ordered, to fulfill public health duties, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when public librarians were pressured to take on new public health roles as perhaps never before. After introducing the concept, the article discusses some of the ways in which it could be incorporated into LIS education, particularly for public librarians, as well as some of the topical areas that need further development to fully bring this perspective into the teaching and research of LIS.
Information Behavior in RIS Professional Education: Survey and Project Synthesis
Authors: VanScoy Amy , Julien Heidi , Harding Alison
Published: December 2023

This article reports on the third phase of a project studying the integration of information behavior theories and concepts into professional education for reference and information service (RIS). It also provides a synthesis of the results of all studies in the project, including a syllabus study, an interview study, and the survey. Results of the project show that Kuhlthau's information search process model, along with several other key theories, models, and concepts, is perceived by instructors of introductory RIS courses in North America as important for RIS practice. Instructors feel that students are generally receptive to conceptual content in the course, although most teach a more practice-focused course or a course with a balance of conceptual and practical content. Still, 10−31% of introductory RIS courses do not include any information behavior content, suggesting that the relevance of theory to practice remains an ongoing debate.

Transparência para gestão da sustentabilidade em cadeias de suprimentos: análise de um modelo multidimensional por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura
Authors:   , Comitre Alexandro Lux
Published: December 2023

Transparency is essential to provide accurate and up-to-date information about production processes, allowing consumers and investors to assess the sustainability of companies and their supply chain (SC). Despite the research already carried out on transparency and sustainability within the scope of SC management, the relationship between these ideas is not yet consolidated. This study conducts an RSL in order to answer: How does the literature address the relationship between transparency and sustainability in the scope of SC? In this way, it adopts the objective of understanding how the literature addresses the debate on the contribution of transparency to the sustainability of SC. As specific objectives, it seeks to: (i) describe the base of articles mapped; (ii) list the main topics addressed in the literature; (iii) analyze how the dimensions of Sustainable Supply Chain Transparency are addressed; (iv) propose how governance can complement the dimensions of the Transparency of the Sustainable Supply Chain; (v) prepare an agenda for future research on the subject. The Scopus and Web of Science bases were chosen, considering predefined search filters, articles published between 2000 and 2022, resulting in 126 analyzed articles. With a descriptive and thematic analysis of the collected articles, this study is based on the definitions of three dimensions of transparency proposed by Schäfer (2023): sustainable SC information, involved stakeholders and perspective, and advances by suggesting a new opportunity for studies for inclusion governance as a fourth dimension. The study promotes reflections, points out research gaps and suggests a future agenda to improve transparency in the pursuit of sustainable SC
Competências tecnológicas digitais na oferta global e internacionalização online de empresas de software
Authors:   , Gava Junior Dionísio
Published: December 2023

This study evaluates how a company's digital competencies enable its internationalization process, with a focus on digital software companies. Based on a set of technological competencies for digital businesses, we investigated seven internationalized digital software companies. For the development of the empirical work, we relied on theoretical insights from "Firm Specific Assets" (FSA) proposed by Kirca et al. (2010) and extended by Banalieva e Dhanaraj (2019), which allow us to distinguish between core and peripheral Technology FSAs, as well as generic and advanced Human Capital FSAs, for a deeper understanding of the complexity of specific skills and competencies and how these digital software companies seek to complement these assets in their internationalization efforts. The results provide an opportunity to examine the technological dimension in the global offering and internationalization of digital enterprises. Using a methodology of multiple inductive case studies, we developed a new construct that we call "International Digital Technological Competence" (IDTC). The IDTC consists of essential resources comprising five digital competencies for these companies: Competencies in digital infrastructure, digital architecture, digital interoperability, digital automation, and information security and data privacy. Possessing the IDTC allows digital software companies to expand internationally online. We propose, therefore, that online international expansion enables these digital companies to leverage external assets through non-equity entry modes and reduced foreign direct investments (FDI). We also conceive that the online international expansion strategy of digital software companies is moderated by the adaptation of their technology, either by themselves or through strategic partners, targeted at the market they aim to enter

Interaction between government agencies and business has been formed in the Russian Federation for no more than 30 years. Federal law No. 115-FL «On concession agreements», which was adopted in 2005, is at the origin of the development of relations in the field of public-private partnership.
If we compare public-private partnership in Russia with foreign countries, it is less developed in our country. The list of projects that can be included in the concession scheme is determined by the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on granting state guarantees to companies involved in the construction of public infrastructure facilities.
In practice, modeling is often used when it is necessary to determine the features of the relationship between management bodies and economic entities in the framework of stimulating sustainable development of the region. One of its ways is to use the instrumental apparatus of game theory. The main advantage of game theory is the ability to use mathematical methods to confirm the importance of cooperation, the need to achieve a trusting relationship between partners, and reach compromises.

Authors: Moraes Ádria Fernanda Ferreira de , Rodrigues Jaíne Gabriela da Silva
Published: December 2023

Veterinary anesthesiology has been advanced in order to provide safer techniques to patients, individualizing protocols according to the needs of each animal. Just like humans, animals are classified according to age group. Pediatric patients are those between 6 and 12 weeks of age. When undergoing surgical procedures, it is crucial to remember that the development and maturation of organs does not follow the same pattern that occurs in adult animals. The present work aims to describe the anesthesia administered to a pediatric patient undergoing gastrostomy surgery. Methadone was used as pre-anesthetic medication at a dose of 0.15 mg/kg, and anesthetic induction was done via administration of propofol 2 mg/kg and fentanyl 1 mcg/kg, both intravenously. For anesthetic maintenance, we chose to use isoflurane in a universal vaporizer, with 100% oxygen supply. During the procedure, physiological parameters were kept stable within reference values, and intraoperative analgesic rescue was not necessary. The anesthetic planning for this patient provided rapid induction and recovery, without major inconvenience.

Kapsul komersial yang terbuat dari gelatin memiliki ketahanan terhadap air sangat rendah. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan alternatif material kapsul untuk meningkatkan ketahanan air kapsul. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat dan mengkarakterisasi komposit alginat-kitosan dan plasticizer PEG sebagai cangkang kapsul. Natrium alginat diekstraksi dari rumput laut coklat (Sargassum sp.) melalui jalur asam alginat. Cangkang kapsul dibuat dengan 5 variasi (b/b) perbandingan alginat:kitosan yakni 2:1; 3:1; 4:1; 5:1; 1:3 (b/b) ditambah dengan plasticizer PEG 20% (b/v). Karakterisasi yang dilakukan meliputi uji swelling air, uji FTIR dan Uji SEM. Dari hasil uji swelling yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini diperoleh cangkang kapsul optimal yaitu dengan komposisi perbandingan alginat-kitosan 2:1 (b/b) dengan persentase swelling air sebesar 72,26%. Uji swelling air pada cangkang kapsul komersial yakni sebesar 43,9%. Dengan demikian, komposit natrium alginat-kitosan dapat digunakan sebagai cangkang kapsul.

Diferencias en la implementación de un programa de aprendizaje socioemocional en escuelas de distinto tamaño
Authors: Mariscal Vicente
Published: December 2023

En los últimos años ha surgido una amplia evidencia del impacto de programas de aprendizaje socioemocional (ASE) universales y basados en evidencia, que se implementan en educación parvularia, básica y media. El proceso de implementación es uno de los factores más importantes en el impacto de los programas y los líderes educativos ejercen un rol clave en apoyar la puesta en práctica del programa en sus contextos. Este artículo presenta un estudio de casos múltiple de dos escuelas de distinto tamaño que implementan el programa de ASE Trabün. A través de entrevistas individuales y grupales se buscó establecer las principales diferencias en los factores que afectan la implementación y las estrategias que realizan directores y encargados del programa para apoyar la puesta en práctica del programa en sus escuelas. Los resultados señalan que existen diferencias en el compromiso y motivación de directores, disposición y apertura de docentes, comunicación entre actores, clima laboral y estrategias de apoyo y monitoreo a la implementación del programa. Las conclusiones sugieren importantes implicancias a las escuelas y organizaciones que proveen programas educativos en la gestión de la comunicación y diversificación de estrategias de apoyo y monitoreo a la implementación del programa en escuelas con distinto tamaño.
From rhetorical question to adversative conjunction
Authors: Dunikowski Mikołaj
Published: December 2023

Ovaj rad preispituje dosadašnje etimologije hrvatskoga veznika ali, koji se često povezuje s poljskom riječju ale. Iako oba leksema sadrže slavenski veznik a, sastoje se također od upitne čestice li odnosno restriktivne čestice le. Starohrvatska, starosrpska i suvremena slovenska rastavna funkcija riječi ali ne mora biti povezana sa suprotnom funkcijom ovoga veznika, nego je nastala direktno iz retoričkih pitanja. Rad prikazuje kako je mogla izgledati ta promjena na temelju pragmatike retoričkih pitanja i suprotne koordinacije, staroslavenskih primjera i uporabe u starohrvatskim tekstovima.
Hermetica Berolinensia II-VIII (Papyrus Berolinensis Graeca 17027)
Authors: Sowińska Agata
Published: December 2023

Na berlińskie fragmenty hermetyczne składa się łącznie osiem fragmentarycznie zachowanych tekstów znajdujących się na Papirusach Berlińskich (Papyri Berolinenses Graecae 9794 et 17027) pochodzących z III (P.Berol. 9794) i IV wieku po Chrystusie (P.Berol. 17027). Fragmenty II-VIII (P.Berol. 17027) są znacząco wybrakowane. Zachowane elementy pozwalają jednakowoż przypuszczać, iż w niektórych przypadkach są one ekscerptami z hermetycznych traktatów filozoficznych lub niepoświadczonymi dotąd wersjami tychże.
Anastazy Synaita, Homilia na temat Psalmu VI
Authors: Piasecki Dariusz
Published: December 2023

Homilia Anastazego Synaity na temat Psalmu VI utrzymana jest w konwencji pedagogiki chrześcijańskiej. Kaznodzieja przypomina słuchaczom o grzechu, zachęca do nawrócenia. Temu procesowi towarzyszy świadoma praca nad wadami, często łzy żalu oraz poprawa życia i naprawa zerwanych relacji z Bogiem i ludźmi. Owocem tak rozumianego wysiłku duchowego jest całkowite nawrócenie grzesznika, odpuszczenie grzechów i przygotowanie do śmierci, która jest nieuchronnym etapem ku życiu wiecznemu.
Posłańcy Zeusa, aniołowie i archaniołowie u Porfiriusza z Tyru
Authors: Osek Ewa
Published: December 2023

Artykuł przynosi pierwszą w dotychczasowej literaturze przedmiotu rekonstrukcję angelologii Porfiriusza z Tyru (233-305), neoplatonika, który wprowadził aniołów i archaniołów do filozofii. Aniołowie nie występowali w żadnym systemie filozoficznym przed Porfiriuszem. Przeprowadzona przeze mnie analiza filologiczna wybranych fragmentów pism Porfiriusza: Kwestii homeryckich dotyczących Iliady, Listu do Anebona, O wegetarianizmie, Komentarza do Timajosa Platona, Filozofii z wyroczni oraz świadectw Augustyna w Państwie Bożym pozwala na sformułowanie następujących wniosków. Porfiriusz podzielił hierarchię anielską na trzy porządki i wtłoczył je w strukturę duszy świata, analogicznie do jej trychotomii. Pierwszy najwyższy porządek umieścił w sferze gwiazd stałych, drugi archanielski – w sferach planetarnych, trzeci tak zwanych „przewoźników” – w atmosferze wokółziemskiej. Aniołowie i archaniołowie z wyższych sfer dublują się z bogami kosmicznymi, podczas gdy „przewoźnicy” pod Księżycem wchodzą w kompetencje demonów nazwanych „pośrednikami” w Uczcie Platona. Główna funkcja aniołów polega na dostarczaniu wiadomości od bogów kosmicznych i dobrych demonów. Przekazywana i powtarzana przez aniołów boska wiadomość jest odbierana tylko przez wybranych ludzi: kapłanów i proroków, do których według Porfiriusza odnosiła się homerycka formuła „posłańcy Zeusa”. Na angelologię Porfiriusza mogły mieć wpływ teksty ezoteryczne z II w., które studiował: proroctwa Apollona w heksametrach, Wyrocznie chaldejskie Juliana Teurga, O naturze przypisywane Zoroastrowi.
