Published: January 2022

This study aimed to measure the levels of depression, anxiety and stress among dental students during the COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning. This cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted at a Brazilian school of Dentistry, between July and August, 2020. The participants were surveyed using the adapted and validated version of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS21) questionnaire. The Fisher's exact test and bivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the data, using SPSS software. A total of 120 dental students (response rate of 87.60%) participated in the study; 75.8% of them were female and the mean age was 23.35 years old (± 6.07). Most students were single (85%), studied full time (68.3%) and had no employment (70.8%). Some level of depression, anxiety and stress was observed in 64.2%, 67.5% and 61.7% of the students, respectively. The severity of the depression, the anxiety and the stress was significantly associated (p < 0.05) with the student’s gender, fear of contracting COVID-19 and with the condition of having a family member who has already had COVID-19. Female students, students who were fear of contracting COVID-19 and who had a familiar or a friend diagnosed with COVID-19 presented more chances of developing a high level of depression, anxiety or stress. We concluded that dental students had high levels of depression, anxiety and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning. This study suggests that the mental health of dental students nshould be carefully monitored during the COVID-19 pandemic

Companies as local skill-providers? The ‘skills ecosystem’ in Mexico
Authors: Fuchs Martina , Röhrer Natascha , Vogelsang Beke
Published: January 2022

A focus of economic geography is on how actors promote the local knowledge base. Studies usually show that companies act as recipients of locally generated knowledge, and not as producers of knowlege. Recruiting graduates of local vocational schools and universities enables the companies to play this role. However, companies sometimes also act as providers of knowledge, in the sense that they offer apprenticeships or comprehensive internships for pupils and students. This article focuses on this interface of ‘dual’ actvities, which connect the companies with vocational schools and universities. Recently, the concept of the skills ecosystem, which addresses this interface within the local actor network, has become popular. Starting with this concept and embedding it into the debate of economic geography, this contribution focusses on Mexico and investigates how the local actors integrate companies in dual activities. Based on qualitative methods, the study illustrates that there is a two-part skills ecosystem in Mexico’s Central Highland. The smaller part consists of dual vocational education and training and is found in the technological ‘high-road’ part of the economy. The other part mainly comprises low-tech and mostly smaller companies that do not engage in dual practices. The conclusion discusses the contribution of a skills ecosystems-approach to future research.
Where Do I Belong? An autoethnographic musings on Cognitive (im)mobility
Authors: Olumba Ezenwa E.
Published: January 2022

This autoethnographic article explores the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of an individual living abroad but cognitively imprisoned at his ancestral home. This article discusses the concept of cognitive migration as advanced by researchers and draws on it and the author's own experiences and feelings to introduce and explain the concept of cognitive immobility. It exemplifies the dialectical conflict between the aspirations of longing and the emotions of belonging for a place and the desire to remain distant from it. This article advocates the recognition of this cognitive experience of being cognitively trapped in an area while mobilised in-person elsewhere in migration studies. It provides a lens to view such migration experiences that have received inadequate attention and contributes to the growing body of knowledge regarding the cognitive migration processes and experiences of those contemplating or participating in human mobility.
A single nucleotide variant on chromosome 10 residing within ITGA8 distinguishes patients with basal-like human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2022

Patients diagnosed with basal-like breast cancer face a more aggressive disease course and more dismal prognosis than patients diagnosed with luminal A and luminal B breast cancer molecular subtypes (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to understand in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing genetic and transcriptional features of tumors from patients with basal or basal-like subtype breast cancer. We identified a single nucleotide polymorphism, rs13664, residing within ITGA8 as among the most significant genetic differences in the tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer. In a separate cohort of patients with basal subtype breast cancer, we observed transcriptome-wide differential tumor expression of a ITGA8 transcript. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that ITGA8 primary tumor expression was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in patients with basal-like and luminal B breast cancer. Sequence variation in the ITGA8 gene may be important in understanding differences in genetic background that favor development of basal subtype human breast cancer.
Estimation of Losses and Damages Caused by Flash Floods in the Commercial Area of Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia
Authors: Bari Azizul , Alam Lubna , Alam Md. Mahmudul , Rahman Labonnah Farzana , Pereira Joy Jacqueline
Published: January 2022

Flash flood is the most devastating natural disaster experienced in Malaysia. It can be defined as any high water flow caused by various factors such as rainstorms, slow water run-off, and broken dams. In Malaysia, the most typical and disruptive hydro-meteorological occurrences are flash floods, which are mostly faced by Malaysian cities including Kuala Lumpur and Kajang. However, flash floods may occur at any time of the year rather than during monsoon and can result in devastating losses and damages. Thus, several mitigation steps and estimations are warranted to handle flash floods, especially at the city level. Hence, this paper estimated the amount of direct loss and damage due to flash floods on the basis of the commercial area of Kajang City. This empirical study used primary data collected through direct face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 41 businessmen in the study area. The average estimated overall losses and damages per shop was RM4,510.07 due to flash floods at Kajang City in 2014, wherein the significant contribution comes from the economic side. This study’s findings can serve as the baseline information for future studies on flash flood losses and damages. Furthermore, the present study suggests extensive institutional research for estimating losses and damages due to flash floods at the country level as an adaptation strategy.
Barely a ripple in the sea: EU COVID relief funds failed to change citizen attitudes
Authors: Turnbull-Dugarte Stuart James , Devine Daniel , Krumpholz Barbara
Published: January 2022

Political actors who boast access to the management and distribution of public funds often actively leverage their discretionary spending power to gain political support. Donald Trump, when faced with a simultaneous collapse in domestic approval and economic growth, signed a historic stimulus \$900 billion package that sent a personal cheque into the home of every American. Faced with criticism over its alleged inaction during the height of the pandemic, the European Union (EU) also approved a historic €750 billion stimulus bill in July 2020. Policy makers take these interventionist steps to distribute public funds not only in the hope that they alleviate economic distress but also to allow them to spend their way out of collapses of public trust. In this paper we ask: did news of the EU’s Covid-19 relief fund result in increased trust and support for the supranational community? We answer this question empirically via a quasi-experiment facilitated by the coincidental timing of cross-national Eurobarometer survey fieldwork with the EU's unexpected announcement of final Covid-19 rescue deal. In contrast to our expectations, we find robust, precisely estimated and well-powered null effects that exposure to the EU’s last-minute and unprecedentedly large financial relief package exhibited no meaningful effect on individuals’ trust in the EU, satisfaction with democracy at the supranational level, nor on approval of the EU’s handling of the Coronavirus pandemic. Even electorates in the member states most negatively affected by Covid-19 do not update their trust and support for the polity in response to the announcement of the stimulus package, which disproportionately benefits their countries. Thus, our findings provide evidence against utilitarian-led approaches that an improvement of economic conditions can promote public support. The implications of our findings signal that when it comes to bolstering support for the EU, utilitarian-led responses focused on catalysing an immediate improvement in economic conditions are unlikely to provide the remedial benefits EU policymakers might hope for.
Clinical Subtyping Using Community Detection: Limited Utility?
Authors: Agelink van Rentergem Joost , Bathelt Joe , Geurts Hilde
Published: January 2022

Background: To discover clinical subtypes in psychology, researchers are increasingly using a method called community detection. This method has not been subjected to the same level of scrutiny in the psychological literature as traditional clustering methods such as k-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, and latent profile analysis. Furthermore, many community detection algorithms have been developed without typical psychological sample sizes and variable numbers in mind while this is crucial when applying this method to clinical samples. Methods: Our first aim is to provide an introduction to community detection algorithms for researchers interested in clinical subtyping, and describe the differences between correlation-based and distance-based community detection. Our second aim is to compare community detection results to results of traditional methods in a simulation study representing typical clinical psychology settings, using three conceptualizations of how subtypes might differ. Results: We discovered that the number of recovered subgroups was often incorrect with several community detection algorithms. Correlation-based community detection fared better than distance-based community detection, and performed relatively well with smaller sample sizes. The traditional method of latent profile analysis was more consistent and often recovered the correct number of subtypes. Importantly, whether community detection methods were successful depended on how differences between subtypes had been introduced.Conclusions: Traditional methods like latent profile analysis remain a reasonable choice, and it is recommended to employ multiple subtyping methods to examine the method dependency of results. Furthermore, there are many assumptions and theoretical choices underlying subtyping analyses, which researchers need to be aware of before drawing conclusions on clinical subtypes.
Trust is good, control is better: The role of trust and personal control in response to threat
Authors: Pauer Shiva , Rutjens Bastiaan T , van Harreveld Frenk
Published: January 2022

Individuals often lack personal control over societal threats and depend on powerful others to manage such threats on their behalf. This lack of personal control could lead individuals to derive threat evaluations from the trustworthiness of powerful others. Three cross‐sectional studies (N = 1938) support this proposed interaction of trust with personal control in diverse domains (i.e., the coronavirus pandemic, the climate crisis, and farmed animal suffering). In line with the assertion that individuals evaluate uncontrollable threats by resorting to beliefs about powerful others' willingness to avert a threat, beliefs in the benevolence of governmental bodies (but no other trustees or trust attributions) drive the effects of trust on threat perceptions depending on personal control. The findings remained the same even when controlling for potential confounding variables, such as subjective knowledge, the affect heuristic, responsibility attributions, and political orientation. Furthermore, the data indicate that trust in powerful others managing a threat partially backfires in people who lack personal control by indirectly thwarting behavioral responses and policy support for managing the threat. The present findings advance the understanding of why trust predicts perceptions of threat and suggest that trust has partially detrimental consequences for managing threats that are beyond an individual's sense of personal control.

Diskursus Tasawuf Nusantara di Mekah: Respons Mukhtār ‘Aṭārid Al-Bughūrī terhadap Ajaran Martabat Tujuh
Authors: Rohmana Jajang A.
Published: January 2022

This study focuses on the discourse of Malay-Indonesian Sufism in Mecca at the beginning of the twentieth century. My main object is the response of Mukhtār ‘Aṭārid of Bogor (1862-1930) towards the doctrine of seven grades using the social history approach. He is a Sundanese scholar who taught in Mecca. He gave the response in his two Sundanese printed kitabs in Egypt. The study shows that Mukhtār’s response reflects the importance of Sunni orthodoxy on Sufism based on sharia. Therefore, he tends to reject the deviation of the seven grades teachings in the Indonesian archipelago which considered deviant. In the case of the teaching of Ibn ‘Arabi’s unity of existence, Mukhtār' Aṭārid seems to correct people’s misunderstandings about this teaching. He advised to be good-minded to the teaching because Ibn ‘Arabi is an expert of truth in accordance with the sharia, but most people are not able to understand it. The view point of Mukhtār ‘Atārid reflects the response of a scholar who heir to the tradition of Sunni Sufism orthodoxy towards the development of Sufism in Indonesian archipelago that spread out from the seventeenth century to the present.
Keywords: seven grades, Sufism, Sunni, Sundanese
 
Kajian ini memfokuskan pada masalah wacana tasawuf Nusantara di Mekah pada awal abad ke-20. Objek utamanya adalah tanggapan Mukhtār ‘Aṭārid al-Bughūrī (1862-1930), ulama Sunda yang mengajar di Mekah, terhadap konsep martabat tujuh. Ia menuangkannya dalam dua kitab berbahasa Sunda yang dicetak di Mesir, Kifāyah al-Mubtadi’īn dan Hidāyah al-Mubtadi’in. Melalui pendekatan sejarah sosial, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa tanggapan Mukhtār ‘Aṭārid mencerminkan kepentingan ortodoksi Sunni dalam bidang tasawuf yang bertumpu pada syariat. Karenanya, ia cenderung menolak penyimpangan ajaran martabat tujuh di Nusantara yang dianggapnya heterodoks dan menyimpang. Sementara dalam kasus ajaran kesatuan eksistensi (tauḥīd al-wujūd) Ibn ‘Arabī, al-Jilī dan al-Burhānfūrī, Mukhtār ‘Aṭārid terlihat meluruskan kesalahpahaman orang terhadap ajarannya itu. Ia menganjurkan untuk berbaik sangka pada ajarannya, karena diyakini merupakan ahli hakikat yang benar dan sesuai dengan syariat, tetapi kebanyakan orang tidak mampu memahaminya. Pandangan Mukhtār ‘Aṭārid mencerminkan respons seorang ulama pewaris tradisi ortodoksi sufistik Sunni terhadap perkembangan tasawuf di Nusantara yang membentang sejak abad ke-17 hingga sekarang.

Differences in Personal Innovativeness in the Domain of Information Technology Among University Students and Teachers
Authors: Šorgo Andrej , Ploj Virtič Mateja , Dolenc Kosta
Published: January 2022

Two online surveys among 1105 university students and 656 employees were conducted with the inclusion of the construct Personal Innovativeness in the domain of Information Technologies (PIIT). After calculating descriptive statistics, statistically significant differences between personal innovativeness of university students and teachers were sought by the application of one-way ANOVA. The first and most important finding was that average perceived PIIT of teachers and students falls around the middle of the seven-point scale, which cannot be regarded as a plausible predictor of upgrading the University as an Innovative Ecosystem. The second was that university teachers scored higher than their students, a situation that could produce an expectancy conflict between those who want to work in an innovative way and those who would prefer study by the book. Teaching assistants, who should belong to the generation of digital natives, are only slightly more innovative than university teachers, who can be regarded as digital immigrants. Assuming that innovativeness can be upgraded by learning, means that efforts should be made by University Management to encourage and support Personal Innovativeness (and other creativities, as well) as a preferred teaching practice.

The issue of e-Inclusion has become an important topic and increasingly gains significance if one takes into account the global trend of digital transformation in the development of the information society and that the digital divide is still present. The reason more for taking the e-Inclusion of all social groups as a challenge has recently been the Covid-19 pandemic and natural disasters (earthquakes, floods) that change the norms of social behavior, require adaptation and create new rules. Users’ ability to use digital services and goods as well as open data provided by public and private organizations which ultimately results in greater access to relevant information as well as improved quality of life and are a key factor for the effectiveness of digital transformation and the economic justification of investing in advanced digital technologies, goods and services. The digital divide manifests itself on certain social groups, which is a social problem. However, despite these initiatives, there are still limitations that prevent certain population groups from becoming e-inclusive members of the information society. This paper presents an overview of the analysis results of the research perspective in which scientific and professional papers consider the concepts of e-Inclusion and digital divide as a challenge. The multiperspectiveness and multidimensionality of the concept of e-Inclusion indicates its significant role in the development of the information society.

Educationists are urged to investigate the effect of social networks control. There is a lack of multidisciplinary studies with a focus on coercive social network control in the higher education sector. This exploratory and descriptive study presents a theoretical contemplation of social network control based on ten key elements that influence teaching and learning in higher educational environments. The paper provides a critical analysis of the impact of an economic model on social networks control and examines social engineering through the tenets of digital presence, psychological strategies and tactics. Insights into user-generated content and the learning process of manipulative assimilation that influence current ways of thinking in higher educational contexts are offered through the lens of social networks control mechanisms. A framework for social network control was derived, signifying the flow and dynamics between key elements which might impact on various aspects of social network security and its applications in Higher Education.

Digital transformation (DT) of agencies for students`part time jobs in the Republic of Croatia (RC) began to be mentioned through the adoption of the Act of student activities (Act). The work of students in the Republic of Croatia is regulated by the Act [1], which provides the legal basis for the DT system of mediation in employment. The Act and the Ordinance oblige the mediator to keep all records in electronic form and define the possibility of issuing student contracts in electronic form, but up to now this form of contract has not been experienced in practice [1], [2]. The distinction between digitization and DT in part led to the fact that the electronic student contract currently implies the issuance of an online student contract, which was not signed by an advanced electronic signature. Changes in business caused by COVID-19 contributed to greater utilization of existing online contracts and pointed to inconsistencies in the work of intermediaries. The aim of this paper is to present, based on a literature review and analysis of the existing situation through the case study, the conceptual model of the DT system for mediation in employment and to test the digital maturity of the current system. The scientific contribution of the paper is in presenting a model that can be implemented in the daily practice of all students employment agencies, while the social contribution is reflected in the attempts of DT public institutions that should be used as an example to the private sector.

The use of microfertilizers on the background of the main fertilizer helps to increase the efficiency of plant use of nutrients of mineral fertilizers and soil, which provides increased yields and improved quality indicators of the crop. The aim of the research was to establish the influence of culture conditions and selection of high-yielding hybrids (NK Diamantis, SI Kupava, NK Neoma) for specific soil and climatic conditions through the formation of their productivity. Field research was conducted during 2018–2019 on typical low-humus chernozems of the Chernihiv region. The research program provided for the establishment of a three-factor field experiment, which studied hybrids (factor A) fertilizer options (factor B) and foliar fertilization (factor C) in phase 4 and 8 sunflowers leaves with Ecoline Bor, Nertus Bor, Bast Bor. The studied sunflower hybrids are NK Diamantis, SI Kupava, NK Neoma. Studies have shown that the most productive was the hybrid SI Kupava with the maximum yield on the variant with the use of N36R56K108S28 + N23 + Ecoline Boron (in phase 4 and 8 leaves of 1 l / ha) - 3.46 t / ha. The fat content in the seeds of sunflower hybrids was determined by the morphobiological features of the hybrid and fertilizer options. The use of foliar fertilization with trace elements had a positive effect on the fat content in the seeds of sunflower hybrids, which allowed to obtain the maximum value for the option of making N36R56K108S28 + N23 + Ecoline Boron (5-6 leaves) in plants of the hybrid SI Kupava - 51.1%. The maximum content of oleic acid was found in the hybrid SI Kupava on the variant with the introduction of N27R42K81S21 + N23 + Ecoline Boron (5-6 leaves) - 77.2%. Due to the use of fertilizers containing boron, the content of this polyunsaturated acid can be increased by improving the quality of sunflower seed oil. The highest oil yield, according to the calculations, was obtained on the variant with the introduction of N36R56K108S28 + N23 + Ecoline Boron (5-6 leaves) in plants of the hybrid SI Kupava, which was 1.64 tons per 1 hectare.

Soybeans are a strategic legume for global agriculture and play an important role in ensuring the food security of many countries. At the same time, biotic factors, in particular pathogens, prevent high and high-quality crop yields. Their control is carried out using various methods and techniques. However, with an excessive increase in the use of chemical pesticides, the ecological situation in agrocenoses becomes more complicated. Therefore, it is important to reduce the pesticide load in crop production technologies. The aim of the research is to evaluate the influence of Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria and substances of stimulating nature on the productivity of soybean plants and seed damage by pathogens. The experiments were performed in the conditions of the Ukrainian Plant Quarantine Research Station of the Institute of Plant Protection of NAAS. The soil of the experimental plot is gray forest podzolic heavy loam. Xenia soybean variety was used for research. Field research was performed according to generally accepted methods. Soybean crops were sprayed during the growing season in the following periods: true trifoliate leaf, flowering and bean formation. For the treatment of soybean plants used a preparation based on bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens with a titer of 3 x 109 CFU/cm3 with a rate of 5.0 l/ha when used in combination with substances with stimulant action. Over the years of research, the amount of precipitation (in some months of the growing season of soybean plants) was higher than the average monthly long-term norm. Pre-harvest desiccation of crops was not performed. Phytopathological examination of seeds obtained from soybean plants under different treatments was carried out according to DSTU 4138-2002. Studies have shown a positive effect of the drug based on P. fluorescens and substances of a stimulating nature on the biometric parameters of soybean plants and their productivity. In particular, the weight of 1000 seeds in the variants with spraying of plants increased in the range from 16 to 66 g. There was also a decrease in infection of soybean seeds with pathogens of fusarium wilt, Alternaria and penicillosis - fungi Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht, Alternaria spp. and Penicillium expansum Link. The study of immunoprotective and stimulating effects of combinations of biocomplexes is promising for the development of environmentally friendly measures to increase soybean yield and reduce seed damage by pathogens.
