Brain Glutamate Dynamics Predict Positive Agency in Healthy Women
Authors: White Tara L. , Gonsalves Meghan A. , Harris Ashley D , Walsh Edward , Joyce Hannah
Published: June 2023

Contributions of brain glutamate to conscious emotion are not well understood. Here we evaluate the relationship of experimentally-induced change in neocortical glutamate (Delta Glu) and subjective states in well individuals, using combined application of pharmacological challenge, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and comprehensive affective assessment. Drug challenge with d-amphetamine (AMP; 20 mg oral), methamphetamine (MA; Desoxyn®, 20 mg oral), and placebo (PBO) was conducted on three separate test days in a within-subjects double blind design. Proton MRS quantified neurometabolites in the right dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) 140-150 min post-drug and PBO. Subjective states were assessed at half hour intervals over 5.5-hours on each session, yielding 3,792 responses per participant (91,008 responses overall, N=24 participants), with self-reports reduced by principal components analysis (PCA). PCA produced a primary factor score of AMP- and MA-induced Positive Agency (Delta PA). MRS indicated drug-induced Glu related positively to PA (Delta GluMA r=+.44, p<0.05, N=21), with large effects in females (Delta GluMA r=+.52, p<0.05; Delta GluAMP r=+.61, p<0.05, N=11). Subjective states related to Delta Glu included rise in subjective stimulation, vigor, friendliness, elation, positive mood, positive affect (r’s=+.51 to +.74, p<0.05), and alleviation of anxiety in females (r=-.61, p<0.05, N=11). These self-reports correlated with Delta Glu to the extent they loaded on Delta PA (r=0.95 AMP, p=5x10-10; r=0.63 MA, p=0.0015, N=11), indicating coherence of Glu effects on emotional states. Timing data indicated Glu shaped positive emotion both concurrently and prospectively, with no relationship with pre-MRS emotion (Delta GluAMP r=+0.59 to +0.65, p’s<0.05; Delta GluMA r=+0.53, p<0.05, N=11). Together these findings indicate substantive, mechanistic contributions of neocortical Glu to positive agentic states in healthy individuals, most readily observed in women. The findings illustrate the promise of combined application of pharmacological challenge, comprehensive affective assessment, and MRS neuroimaging techniques in basic and clinical studies.

Visual intuitions in the absence of visual experience: the role of direct experience in concreteness and imageability judgements
Authors: Petilli Marco A. , Marelli Marco
Published: June 2023

The strongest formulations of grounded cognition assume that perceptual intuitions about concepts involve the re-activation of sensorimotor experience we have made with their referents in the world. Within this framework, concreteness and imageability ratings are indeed of crucial importance by operationalising the amount of perceptual interaction we have made with objects. Here we tested such an assumption by asking whether visual intuitions about concepts are provided accurately even when direct visual experience is absent. To this aim, we considered concreteness and imageability intuitions in blind people and tested whether these judgments are predicted by Image-based Frequency (IF, i.e. a data-driven estimate approximating the availability of the word referent in the visual environment). Results indicated that IF predicts perceptual intuitions with a larger extent in sighted compared to blind individuals, thus suggesting a role of direct experience in shaping our judgements. However, the effect of IF was significant not only in sighted but also in blind individuals. This indicates that having direct visual experience with objects does not play a critical role in making them concrete and imageable in a person’s intuitions: people do not need visual experience to develop intuition about the availability of things in the external visual environment and use this intuition to inform concreteness/imageability judgments. Our findings fit closely the idea that perceptual judgments are the outcome of introspection/abstraction tasks invoking high-level conceptual knowledge that is not necessarily acquired via direct perceptual experience.
The Acceptability and Compliance of Ambulatory Assessment: A Large-Scale Investigation on 2792 Individuals
Authors: Du Xinkai , Ebrahimi Omid V. , Hoffart Asle , Birkeland Marianne Skogbrott , Skogen Jens Christoffer , Smith Otto R.F. , Johnson Sverre Urnes
Published: June 2023

Background: Despite the popularity of Ambulatory Assessment (AA), few studies have investigated how participants experience and perceive their participation, including the burdensomeness and utility of AA. This is important, as participants’ experience in the measurement process can directly impact participants’ wellbeing and data quality. Methods: In a 40-day diary study involving 2792 individuals, participants reported their experience of the measurement process (AA acceptability) with six self-report items. We analyzed the percentage of subjects who perceived benefits from the participation vs. those who did not and investigated whether this could be related to participant demographics using Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) and logistic regression. We explored how compliance (the number of participation days) was related to AA acceptability and participant demographics using multiple Poisson regression. Results: Most participants found AA to be beneficial in general (74.6%), specifically, for their self-understanding (59.9%), and self-reflection and experience sharing (68.5%). Most participants expressed willingness to participate in AA research again (83.9%). A minority of participants (11.7%) reported they felt AA participation worsened their problems, while twice as many (21.7%) participants reported that AA participation helped alleviate their mental health problems. Demographic predictors were predominant insignificant, reflecting that the high acceptability of AA was relatively stable across different populations. Participation was perceived to be more beneficial by females, younger adults, and those who were receiving psychological treatment. The high acceptability of AA also improved participants’ compliance in the study, with perceived utility predicting more participation days. Conclusions: Adults across different population subgroups predominantly find participation in AA research to be beneficial for their mental health, with the majority of adults expressing re-participation interest. One in five participants experienced improvement in their psychiatric symptoms related to participation, while a minority of individuals expressed mental deterioration, presenting a critical avenue for future research to identify the characteristics of individuals who are more or less likely to benefit from AA research. The finding that AA was perceived to be more beneficial by recipients of psychological treatment highlights the potential of AA methods to serve as a complementary tool to provide feedback and facilitate patient-clinician interactions toward improving treatment outcomes in psychotherapy.
Gaze differences in Multiple Object Tracking vs Multiple Identity Tracking
Authors: Lukavsky Jiri , Meyerhoff Hauke S.
Published: June 2023

In dynamic environments, a central task of the attentional system is to keep track of objects changing their spatial location over time. In some instances, it is sufficient to track only the spatial locations of moving objects (i.e., multiple object tracking; MOT). In other instances, however, it is also important to maintain distinct identities of moving objects (i.e., multiple identity tracking; MIT). Despite previous research, it is not clear whether MOT and MIT performance emerge from the same tracking mechanism. In the present report, we study gaze coherence (i.e., the extent to which participants repeat their gaze behaviour when tracking the same object locations twice) across repeated MOT and MIT trials. We observed more substantial gaze coherence in repeated MOT trials compared to the repeated MIT trials or mixed MOT-MIT trial pairs. A subsequent simulation study suggests that MOT is based more on a grouping mechanism than MIT; whereas, MIT is based more on a target-jumping mechanism than MOT. It thus appears unlikely that MOT and MIT emerge from the same basic tracking mechanism.
Writing system transmission and change: A neurofunctional perspective
Authors: Overmann Karenleigh A.
Published: June 2023

Complex systems like literacy and numeracy emerge through multigenerational interactions of brains, behaviors, and material forms. In such systems, material forms – writing for language and notations for numbers – become increasingly refined to elicit specific behavioral and psychological responses in newly indoctrinated individuals. These material forms, however, differ fundamentally in things like semiotic function: language signifies, while numbers instantiate. This makes writing for language able to represent the meanings and sounds of particular languages, while notations for numbers are semantically meaningful without phonetic specification. This representational distinction is associated with neurofunctional and behavioral differences in what neural activity and behaviors like handwriting contribute to literacy and numeracy. In turn, neurofunctional and behavioral differences place written representations for language and numbers under different pressures that influence the forms they take and how those forms change over time as they are transmitted across languages and cultures.

Consciousness or Matter: Swami Prabhupada’s Power of Skepticism in Life Comes from Life
Authors: Bhandari Sabindra Raj
Published: June 2023

This article examines and interprets the skeptical inquisitions of Swami Prabhupada about the matter as the source of creation in his Life Comes from Life. As a critique of dominant theories and presuppositions of science, the book establishes his belief that consciousness dwells in the creation, and it drives its entirety. Even matter and chemicals, which modern science supposes as the facts, come out of nature, and nature has its vibes in spirit. With the logics from the philosophy of the spiritual, Prabhupada establishes the validity that the materialist scientists are ignoramus because they could not form life and win death even though they are well equipped with the chemicals and labs. Besides, they formulate various but contradictory hypotheses in the different phases of their experiments. As hydrogen and oxygen simply do not formulate water, some human endeavor is required there. In the same way, guiding force is spirit or consciousness that drives the creation and life. In this regard, the dichotomy between spirit and matter, discussed in this work, remains a new revisiting. He puts strong skeptical inquisitions with his stands on the solid ground of philosophy of skepticism postulated by philosophers like, Arcesilaus, Pyrrho, Empiricus, and in some crucial points Descartes and Hume. To unveil these ideations, this paper implements a qualitative research approach and imperative method with the lens of the philosophy of skepticism as the theoretical tool.

Blue ocean strategy pada dasarnya adalah strategi untuk menaklukkan menawar pesaing melalui fitur produk yang inovatif dan memiliki diabaikan oleh pesaing. Contoh Penerapan Blue Ocean Strategy yakni strategi biru paling fenomenal ini contohnya bisa dilihat pada kisah sukses skutik Yamaha Mio. Sebelum motor jenis ini muncul, pasar sepeda motor didominasi oleh jenis konvensional dengan Honda sebagai penguasanya. Suatu bentuk kurva nilai menjauhi yang lain pesaing, yaitu upaya untuk mengeksplorasi dan melihat baru alternatif tanpa harus membandingkan diri Anda dengan pesaing lainnya. Ketika strategi perusahaan terbentuk reaktif dalam upaya untuk mengikuti irama persaingan, maka strategi tersebut akan kehilangan keunikannya.

In the 21st century almost every higher education course includes some type of digital learning. Many universities provide blended, online or e-learning courses. Many LMS platforms are used for online learning and testing students in various fields. Several virtual meeting platforms are used for online learning and communication. The use of these platforms at universities skyrocketed during the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper focuses on teachers’ experience and satisfaction with different tools for online learning in comparison with traditional, face-to-face teaching methods. The authors surveyed three academies of applied studies in Serbia. According to the survey, most teachers used online learning platforms as well as virtual meetings during the Covid-19 pandemic and they were satisfied. The results of the survey imply that the majority of teachers find blended learning to be the optimal method of teaching in the future.
Sustainability Reporting Practices of Real Estate Companies from Germany, Austria and Switzerland – First Insights from 2020
Authors: Gałkiewicz Dominika P.
Published: June 2023

In the last twenty years, sustainability became a strong move­ment leading to regulatory initiatives around the world. In this study, the Eu­ropean regulation is compared with common sustainability reporting prac­tices in the Real Estate Sector in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The goal of the study is to show what type of information related to employees, and other social and governance issues are being provided and by how many firms in the year 2020. The findings show that more than half of the analyz­ed firms report the total number of employees, the share of women and the number of permanent full-time contracts. Furthermore, supervisory board members are listed by 37 out of 53 companies. More than a third of the 53 companies confirmed to have anti-corruption processes implemented and 25 firms state to have UN SDGs included in their reports. However, details on diversity and employee-related information are often, more than 50% of the time, missing (e.g. salary ratio of woman to man, average sick days/year, total number of trainees, executive pay ratio, total accidents, average age, proportion of female executives, % of woman on the board of directors, staff turnover rate, newly hired employees, employee-satisfaction, full-time em­ployees and part-time employees). Moreover, the involvement of firms, cus­tomers, suppliers and employees in following human rights guidelines, ESG and Code of Conduct rules is low. Less than a third of companies stated to follow the human rights guidelines obtained a sustainability certificate or employee well-being certificate and provided ESG-specific employee train­ing. Performing Code of Conduct training for employees, customer surveys, and implementing business partner Code of Conduct/Supplier Code of Con­duct besides mentioning the cases of corruption and incidents of discrimi­nation are reported by less than one-third of firms. These results are impor­tant for individuals, companies and politicians implementing new rules re­lated to sustainability reporting in Europe.
Anxiety Due to COVID-19 and the Role of Obsession, Job Location Selection and the Number of Children in Hospitality Employees
Authors: Krikonis Konstantinos , Konstantaras Ioannis
Published: June 2023

Under the framework of the Transactional Theory of Stress and Coping, stress is formulated ultimately from our interaction with the situations we find ourselves in. During COVID-19, hospitality workers experienced high levels of stress due to instability and the constant lack of infection. This survey examines the moderating role of “job location selection” and “number of children” on the direct effect of “obsession with COVID-19” on “Coronavirus anxiety”. To address the above, we utilized “Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM)” on collected data from 403 hospitality employees working seasonally in Greece. The results uncovered the dynamic of “job location selection” in reducing the stressor “obsession with COVID-19”, moderating its effect on “Coronavirus anxiety”. Moreover, the “number of children” can negatively affect this relationship adding more anxiety to workers. Such insights can offer practical implications to each worker individually.

Food Security Status in Relation to Co-operative Enrolment Among University of Waterloo Undergraduate Students: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
Authors: Pepetone Alexandra , Qutub Mona , Andrade Lesley , Wallace Michael P. , Kirkpatrick Sharon I.
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Co-operative (co-op) education facilitates development of workplace competencies but may have unintended consequences for financial stability and food security. This study examined the association between co-op program enrolment and food security status among a sample of undergraduate students. Financial insufficiency and strategies to cope with it were also characterized.

Methods: Cross-sectional data were collected from 167 co-op and 89 non-co-op students at the University of Waterloo from January to March 2019. Logistic regression assessed associations between co-op program enrolment and food insecurity.

Results: Twenty-four percent of co-op and 39.3% of non-co-op students lived in moderately or severely food insecure households. Adjusting for confounders, the odds of living in moderately or severely food insecure households were lower among co-op students (adjusted odds ratio: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.27–0.97), though no association was observed when marginal food insecurity was included within the food insecure category. One-quarter (26.3%) of co-op students and 38.2% of non-co-op students reported financial insufficiency, which they tried to cope with by asking parents or friends for assistance or initiating paid work.

Conclusions: Co-op program enrolment was weakly associated with lower odds of living in moderately or severely food insecure households, and food insecurity prevalence was high overall. Efforts are needed to alleviate food insecurity among postsecondary students.
On the issue of providing free legal advice to employers who have concluded an employment contract with minors

This article considers the issue of supplementing Article 20 of Federal Law No. 324-FZ of November 21, 2011 "On Free Legal Aid in the Russian Federation" with a clause regulating the provision of free legal aid to employers entering into labor relations with persons under the age of 18. The analysis of the current Russian legislation in the field of labor is carried out on the basis of consideration of the legal provisions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation of 30.12.2001 N 197-FZ, the specifics of labor relations between the employer and minors in the Russian state. Based on this, the influence of the multiplicity of benefits for this category of employees is emphasized, as well as their connection with the appearance of more responsibilities for employers, on reducing the desire of employers to enter into labor relations with minors, and the reasons for the need for these innovations are identified.

Formation of an evaluation information model in the system of land cadastre
Authors: Kuryltsiv R. , Myronov O.
Published: June 2023

The article examines the feasibility of developing an evaluation information model for use in the system of land administration in Ukraine. The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) standard, which is intended to standardize cadastre models of different countries of the world, is considered. The conceptual principles of the evaluation information model and the conformity of this model to the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) are revealed. Features of the basic evaluation information model structure are presented, including identification of information needs, and establishment of relationships between classes of objects and their filling. This approach automates the process of data collection and analysis, as well as reduces the number of errors during evaluation. The article examines the implementation of the evaluation information model based on LADM in Ukraine, which will require a comprehensive study of the legal and regulatory framework related to the system of land administration in Ukraine. For the successful implementation of the evaluation information system in Ukraine, the authors propose to define types of ownership, which will include the model, spatial-territorial distribution, and types of tax payments, which will be administered in the system. Thus, a well-developed and implemented model of land administration can provide effective management of land resources, an increase of investments, and generation of incomes.

Receipt of rental payment for the use of natural budgets in the local budget in the context of modernizing the economic mechanism of natural use
Authors: Medynska N. , Moroz Y.
Published: June 2023

It is substantiated that the necessary institutional prerequisite for increasing the effectiveness of extended reproduction and economic development of natural resource potential is the modernization of the economic mechanism of nature use both at the national, regional and local levels, in particular in the part of the transformation of the system of fiscal regulation of the use of subsoil for the extraction of minerals. Studies have shown that the deepening of budget-fiscal decentralization requires more effective use of endogenous factors of socio-economic development of territorial communities, in the spectrum of which the increase in the effectiveness of fiscal regulation of subsoil use through the improvement of the methodology of extraction and distribution of rent for the use of subsoil is of particular importance. It was established that in the years 2007-2021, several phases of growth and decline are observed in the dynamics of rent payments for the use of subsoil to the local budgets of Ukraine, which correlates with the dynamics of socio-economic uplift, the impact of the global financial crisis on the national economy, changes in the percentages of deduction of mineral and raw materials rents to public financial funds of the respective territories. It has been proven that in the conditions of budgetary and fiscal decentralization, favorable conditions have been formed for increasing the share of rent deductions for subsoil use to local budgets, which will make it possible to form special financial funds for the reproduction of mineral and raw material potential and increase the interest of local self-government in its complex use. It is substantiated that the revision of the principles of subsoil use rents should be preceded by the modernization of the economic mechanism of nature use in terms of the diversification of payments for the extraction of minerals, and this will make it possible to ensure the equivalence of the extraction of mineral and raw material rents and its adequate distribution between public budgets of different taxonomic levels .
