Modeling Alcohol Use Disorder as a Set of Interconnected Symptoms - Assessing Differences between Clinical and Population Samples and Across External Factors
Authors: Huth Karoline , Luigjes Judy , Marsman Maarten , Goudriaan Anneke , van Holst Ruth
Published: January 2021

Alcohol use disorder is argued to be a highly complex disorder influenced by a multitude of factors on different levels. Common research approaches fail to capture this breadth of interconnecting symptoms. To address this gap in theoretical assumptions and methodological approaches, we used a network analysis to assess the interplay of alcohol use disorder symptoms. We applied the exploratory analysis to two US-datasets, a population sample with 23,591 individuals and a clinical sample with 483 individuals seeking treatment for alcohol use disorder. Using a Bayesian framework, we first investigated differences between the clinical and population sample looking at the symptom interactions and underlying structure space. In the population sample the time spent drinking alcohol was most strongly connected, whereas in the clinical sample loss of control showed most connections. Furthermore, the clinical sample demonstrated less connections, however, estimates were too unstable to conclude the sparsity of the network. Second, for the population sample we assessed whether the network was measurement invariant across external factors like age, gender, ethnicity and income. The network differed across all factors, especially for age subgroups, indicating that subgroup specific networks should be considered when deriving implications for theory building or intervention planning. Our findings corroborate known theories of alcohol use disorder stating loss of control as a central symptom in alcohol dependent individuals.
Designing bivariate timeseries with controlled Granger causality
Authors: Hidaka Shohei , Torii Takuma
Published: January 2021

In this manuscript, we analyzed vector auto-regressive (VAR) model in order to draw a design principle for bivariate timeseries with a controlled statistical inter-relationship. We show how to generate bivariate timeseries with given covariance and Granger causality, and showed the trade-off relationship between these two types of statistical interaction. In principle, covariance and Granger causality are controllable independently, but the ranges of their values, which let VAR be proper and have stationary distribution, are constrained by each other. Thus, there is an essential tri-lemma among the stability and properness of VAR, the controllability of covariance, and that of Granger causality.
Online Academic Collaboratives, Part 1: Overview and Possibilities
Authors: Mills Michael
Published: January 2021

This paper reviews the transformation of the academy by online technology and the development of what has been termed 'digital scholars.' A particular focus is on how such technologies have facilitated academic communication and collaboration. Several online collaborative academic projects are reviewed. It is suggested one component of online 'academic collaboratives' (collaborative online communities of scholars) could be the development of massively collaborative online textbooks that can also serve as a current overview of a discipline. It is proposed that it could utilize peer review processes similar to peer reviewed academic journals. The issues of how scholars can be given academic credit for their contributions to an academic collaborative is discussed. Part 2 of this paper will review the development and operation of an online academic collaborative in the field of evolutionary psychology.

Published: January 2021

Background: Transdiagnostic treatments target shared mechanisms between disorders to facilitate change across diagnoses. The Unified Protocol (UP) aims at changing dysfunctional reactions towards emotions by increasing mindful emotion awareness and cognitive flexibility, as well as decreasing anxiety sensitivity and emotion avoidance. Method: We investigated whether these transdiagnostic processes were malleable by treatment and mediated the relationship between treatment and outcome in an internet-delivered adaptation of the UP. N=129 participants with mixed anxiety, depressive, and somatic symptom disorders were randomized to treatment or waitlist. Results: The treatment yielded significant changes in all transdiagnostic processes over time in comparison to a waitlist condition. In single mediator models, significant mediating effects were found for mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, behavioral activation, and experiential avoidance. When all mediators were combined in a multiple mediator model, only mindfulness emerged as a significant mediator. Conclusion: These findings add to the growing body of research on transdiagnostic processes as mediators of change and emphasize mindfulness as a transdiagnostic treatment target. However, these results should be interpreted cautiously, as temporal precedence could not be established.
Peripheral Facial Features Guiding Eye Movements and Reducing Fixational Variability
Authors: Han Nicole X , Chakravarthula Puneeth N. , Eckstein Miguel P.
Published: January 2021

Face processing is a fast and efficient process due to its evolutionary and social importance. A majority of people direct their first eye movement to a featureless point just below the eyes that maximizes accuracy in recognizing a person's identity and gender. Yet, the exact properties or features of the face that guide the first eye movements and reduce fixational variability are unknown. Here, we manipulated the presence of the facial features and the spatial configuration of features to investigate their effect on the location and variability of first and second fixations to peripherally presented faces. Results showed that observers can utilize the face outline, individual facial features, and feature spatial configuration to guide the first eye movements to their preferred point of fixation. The eyes have a preferential role in guiding the first eye movements and reducing fixation variability. Eliminating the eyes or altering their position had the greatest influence on the location and variability of fixations and resulted in the largest detriment to face identification performance. The other internal features (nose and mouth) also contribute to reducing fixation variability. A subsequent experiment measuring detection of single features showed that the eyes have the highest detectability (relative to other features) in the visual periphery providing a strong sensory signal to guide the oculomotor system. Together, the results suggest a flexible multiple-cue approach that might be a robust solution to cope with how the varying eccentricities in the real world influence the ability to resolve individual feature properties and the preferential role of the eyes.
The Global Diffusion of Work-Injury Insurance: The Role of Spatial Networks and Nation Building
Authors: Breznau Nate , Lanver Felix
Published: January 2021

Work-injury law often marks the beginning of the modern welfare state. We argue that work-injury insurance is particularly important to nation state building: it placates myriad social groups’ while binding them symbiotically with the state. We analyze any first laws and first social insurance as outcomes in 150 states (1880-2010). Our network diffusion and event history models reveal that spatial proximity and democratization are key predictors of first laws. However, nation state formation and trade density are additional predictors of social insurance. We conclude with these findings’ implications for understanding nation building within global networks.
Systemic Materialist Realist Ontology, Epistemology, Semantics, Axiology and Ethics: Why Pearl’s counterfactuals and Pawson’s methods are insufficient for causation in Social Epidemiology and Public Health
Authors: Muntaner Carles , Dunn James R
Published: January 2021

We evaluate counterfactual empiricism, the dominant philosophy of science in contemporary epidemiology and public health from a scientific realist perspective. Building on our earlier work, we critique the dominant counterfactual/potential outcomes epistemology in epidemiology and public health, based on its neglect of ontology and exclusion of causal mechanisms which are confused with statistical inference methods (e.g., mediation). We argue that a realist systemic materialist ontology of levels , scientific realist epistemology, and realist semantics, axiology and ethics could constitute a best philosophical system for the disciplines of social epidemiology and public health, and their social inequalities in health subdivisions

Published: January 2021

Background: The chronic and progressive nature of Diabetes Mellitus often leads people to use complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) which may be defined as a group of medical and health care systems, practices and products that are not considered to be part of conventional medicine.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done in a tertiary care hospital in Eastern Nepal from 15th June 2018 to 15th September 2019 to determine proportion of type 2 diabetic patients who have tried complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) exclusively prior to presentation to endocrine OPD (Outpatient department). Consecutive sampling was done after informed verbal consent.

Results: Out of 401 participants, 60.6 percent were male and 39.4 percent were female. Mean age of participants was 52.21 ± 11.42 years. Regarding use of CAMs, 11 percent sad tried some form of CAMs exclusively without any allopathic antidiabetic medicines for some period in their lifetime prior to presentation to endocrine OPD. More specifically, 10.3 percent had tried products under brand of ayurvedic medicines from local practitioners. Similarly, 0.2 percent had tried medicine from Homeopathic Practitioner and rest (0.5 percent) had tried homemade herbal remedies like garlic, fenugreek, aloe vera and bitter melon.

Conclusion: A significant proportion of type 2 diabetics in our community are still using CAMs. The associated factors behind this and long term effects of such products in diabetic patients need to be explored further in details.

Authors: Saleem Dhobi
Published: January 2021

This paper investigates into Durrani’s Blasphemy to scrutinize Heer's marginalized individuality. Heer is forced to marry a man, Pir Sain, with a high position in the society. Hermarriage proves a source of troubles and repression of self-satisfaction. When Heer fails to tolerate severe torture and exploitation, she revolts against patriarchy that pushes the female sex to the margin in the name of religious norms and values. Hence, this article exposes the desperate condition of women and their sufferings in Pakistan as depicted in the novel. The paper questions the system that does not allow women like Heer to make decisions in either household chore, not in the public affairs.

Authors: KC Ganga
Published: January 2021

Breastfeeding has been accepted as the most vital intervention for reducing infant mortality, ensuring optimal growth and development of children. Proper breastfeeding provides all essential nutrients for the first 6 months and is one of the cost effective intervention for reducing infant mortality and disease. It is one of the essential actions for infant development and survival. Maternal knowledge and attitudes as well as socio- demographic and cultural factors influence the practice of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF).This study reflects the knowledge, attitude and practice of EBF among breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 0-6 months. Exclusive breastfeeding means feeding a baby with only mother’s breast milk without any additional food or drinks including water. The main objective of this research is to explore the knowledge, attitude and practice of EBF behavior of the mothers. Using the simple random sampling, Sachal area, ward no.2 of Lalitpur metropolitan city was selected as study area. For the data collection 30-breastfeeding mother-infant pairs were purposively selected as the key informant. Data were collected from 30 mother-infant pairs by using interview schedules.

Arcane Register of Language as a Strategy in Nepali Modernist Poetry
Authors: Niroula Dhundi Raj
Published: January 2021

This research paper tries to provide an analysis of the Nepali modernist poetry written from 1960onwards approximately for a decade. Literary critics holding different views have been vocal about this unique kind of poetry. They have variously labled the modernist poetry as esoteric, reactionary, obscure, monochromatic, status-quoist and devoid of communicative rationality. After judging the rationale and critical validity of these observations, this researcher argues that the poetry of this period has aimed to express the complexities of the time. So, a number of times, these poets have used an arcane register of language that contains revolutionary zeal at the level of both form and content. Even though the modernist poets in the west came to adulthood amid political, technological, social and scientific transformations commonly identified with modernization, such phenomena were not experienced by Nepali poets, whom we have labeled as the modernist, at their home country. They just derived consciousness from the West and experiment in Nepali poetry. Nepali modernist poetry poses challenges to the reader as it has highly experimented with syntax, rhythm, graphology and semantics as well. The reason behind the intellectualization of the poetry through arcane register of language was their strategy to conceal revolutionary spirit of their poetry from the intolerant despotic regime.
Dialectics of Gender and Reproductive Health
Authors: Sijapati Dipendra Bikram
Published: January 2021

The relationship between gender and health is a deeply interdependent one. Yet research in this area has focused primarily on how gender relations determine health behavior and health outcomes. This article advocates a more holistic approach that conceptualizes gender and health as fully intertwined and mutually constitutive. This interplay is explored through the case of HIV discordance in which one person in a relationship is HIV positive and the other HIV negative. Drawing on in-depth research with discordant couples in urban Uganda, this study indicates that living with discordance can both reinforce and challenge normative gender power dynamics in relationships. This study, therefore, illustrates how significant health problems can influence gender relations. As such, it reveals the dialectical relationship between gender and health and also provides important insights for HIV prevention in the new era of antiretroviral treatment as prevention.
Wybrane aspekty filozofii w coachingu: refleksje nad wiedzą humanistyczną a coachingowa praktyka
Authors: Musioł Anna Agnieszka
Published: January 2021

W artykule podejmuję próbę wskazania zależności wiążących filozofię z coachingiem. Wokół tematyki coachingu narosło wiele mitów. Dlatego w tekście przedstawiam coaching jako współczesną, pomocową formę pracy (helping professions) z drugim człowiekiem (klientem/coachee); profesję, której metody i narzędzia sięgają myśli filozoficznej różnych epok, stanowiąc trwałą podbudowę pod humanistykę. Podbudowę tę stanowi dotychczas wypracowana przez myślicieli wiedza o człowieku, jego kondycji i miejscu w świecie. Refleksję nad filozoficznymi aspektami w coachingu rozpoczynam od opisu wybranych myśli epoki starożytnej, w której filozofia – akcentując swój praktyczny charakter – jawi się jako sztuka życia; poprzez analizę znaczenia etyki aksjologicznej Maxa Schelera i Nicolaia Hartmanna; kończąc na XX-wiecznej filozofii dialogu.

Published: January 2021

The study presented here was conducted on post-stroke patients in the years 2014–2017. Data was collected using a survey questionnaire based on single-choice questions, Barthel ADL Index and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). As many as 128 out of 135 respondents (94.8%) were referred for further treatment after initial rehabilitation. Of these, 33.6% did not continue their rehabilitation. Most of the remaining ones chose outpatient (32.9%) or inpatient rehabilitation in a hospital (29.4%). After the second examination of the physical condition of the patients, improvement was noted in those who participated in long-term rehabilitation. This feeling was also declared by the patients themselves. Out of all respondents, 92 people suffered from speech disorders, of which only 21.7% participated in speech therapy, and in this group 90% noticed a significant improvement in verbal communication. A small percentage of patients with aphasia recognize and follow speech therapy recommendations. Patients and their carers should be informed in more detail about the benefits of rehabilitation and speech therapy.

Integrating Form and Content within Classroom Discussion of Literature: A Discernible Advantage in Language Learning
Authors: Mart Çağrı Tuğrul
Published: January 2021

As both form-focused (FFI) and content-based (CBI) instructions have advantages and disadvantages in language teaching, the integration of FFI and CBI into literature-based classrooms provides an ideal context to attend to form and meaning and some of the strongest rationales for language acquisition as the disadvantages of one approach will be compensated by the advantages of the other. When FFI and CBI are integrated in conjunction with literature-based approach, learners easily perceive language patterns in the meaningful context, foster content learning and initiate production of the meaningful discourse. Simply put, the advancement of grammatical accuracy and content unveils improvements in language proficiency. The present study aimed to create a favorable condition for language learning through employing FFI and CBI incorporated in a literature-based program. Quasi-experimental approach was adopted and the participants were 60 students majoring in English Language Teaching at a university. It was found that this integrative pedagogy can be used as a springboard for language proficiency development because learners are at advantage to maximize their grammar and vocabulary knowledge.

“Architects’ mistakes should be covered with ivy and doctors’ with sod”: Medical Malpractice, Morton Shulman, and the “Conspiracy of Silence”
Authors: Blake Brown R.
Published: January 2021

Every year thousands of Canadians are killed or injured because of medical mistakes. Plaintiffs, however, face several challenges to suing doctors successfully for malpractice. One challenge is the reluctance of some doctors to criticize other medical professionals, sometimes referred to as the “conspiracy of silence.” This article focuses on the attention given to the conspiracy of silence in Ontario in the 1960s when Dr. Morton Shulman, the pugnacious and flamboyant Chief Coroner of Toronto, alleged that doctors routinely covered up medical errors. Shulman drew media attention to irresponsible doctors, poor practice, and negligent treatment. He demanded more accountability and better care, and deplored efforts to silence him to protect the reputation of doctors. A decline in public trust of experts and of the professions created conditions that lent credence to Shulman’s claims. However, many medical professionals chafed at the questioning of their professionalism, expertise, and ethics. The provincial government’s responses, which included coroner system reforms, expanding the powers of the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons, and attempting to silence Shulman, primarily aimed to meet the concerns of the state and medical professionals, rather than those of patients and the public.

Background: Dual-energy contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is one of the latest methods
for breast lesions characterization, where structural and functional (i.e., vascularization) assessment are
combined. Nowadays an interpretation of contrast-enhanced images is based only on the degree of contrast
enhancement, but we propose a more detailed assessment of the structure of the hypervascular lesions by
highlighting the contrast enhancement patterns.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM)
using the contrast enhancement patterns in malignant and benign lesions.
Material and Methods: Study included 332 women examined from February 2018 to June 2020. The mean
age of the women was 50 years. Of 428 lesions totally revealed, 172 (40.2%) were histologically verified
as malignant and 256 (59.8%) as benign. We proposed 9 types of contrast enhancement patterns to describe
lesions: reticular, granular, annular, diffuse-spherical, lacunar, cloud-like, heterogeneous-annular, point,
cotton-like.
Results: We showed that diagnostic performance of CESM increased sensitivity if an additional diagnostic
feature of contrast enhancement pattern was used: sensitivity increased from 79.7% to 94.8% (p = 0.26),
specificity from 82.4% to 95.3% (p = 0.013) and accuracy from 81.3 to 95.1% (p = 0.004), in comparison
with using of only one feature of contrast enhancement intensity in the differential diagnosis of malignant
and benign lesions.
Conclusion: Thus, using contrast enhancement pattern allows to increase the efficiency of CESM in breast
cancer detection.

Objective: (1) To study dyslipidemia prevalence of members in stroke patients’ families (2) To investigate factors related to dyslipidemia of members in stroke patients’ familiesMaterial and Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, after patients suffered from a stroke, the subjects were visited, interviewed through a questionnaire, and blood was drawn for testing, without fasting. This was in order to establish their cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and random plasma glucose. This also included a physical checkup and risk assessment for cardiovascular disease. The data were collected from 120 subjects.Results: Prevalence of high total cholesterol level was 34.2%, low HDL-C was 15.8%, high LDL-C level was 37.5%, and prevalence of dyslipidemia was 51.7%. The samples were 76 blood relatives and 44 non-blood relatives in the patients’ families. The average LDL-C level was 147.12+39.06 and 31.7% of them suffered from Class 1 obesity, and 15.8% of them faced Class 2 obesity. According to Thai CV risk scores, the results revealed that 80.8% of the samples had a low risk, at <10.0%. The factors related to dyslipidemia were underlying diseases, and most groups of underlying diseases were hypertension and diabetes mellitus, respectively.Conclusion: Prevalence of dyslipidemia in family Members of Stroke Patients was 51.7%. Detection of this abnormality is important to them. This would help in designing a prevention plan, as well as to raise awareness of stroke prevention in family members of stroke patients.

The food crop sector has an important role for regions in Indonesia. Food plants can be a determinant for an area in meeting the needs of the people in that area. In addition, the food crop sector, if developed, can become revenue for the region. This study aims to analyze the leading food plants in 35 districts / cities in Central Java Province. By using the location quotient (LQ) method and the Regional Specialization Index. The data used is time series data from 2014 to 2019 in 35 districts / cities in Central Java Province for food crops based on land area and production. The results obtained for the average LQ value of food crops based on land area, there are only 12 districts / cities which are the basis for superior food crops with Wonogiri Regency at the top. Meanwhile, based on the average LQ value based on production, only 11 districts / cities are the basis for superior food crops with Semarang Regency being the top. For the specialization index based on both land area and production, there is no Regency / City that specializes in Central Java Province.
