Photonic spin Hall effect in a graphene-incorporated quasi-PT symmetric system and the miniaturization of nanophotonic devices
Authors: Dong Peng , Cheng Jie
Published: October 2023

By inserting the monolayer graphene between the balanced gain and loss layers, the graphene-incorporated quasi-parity-time (PT) symmetric structure is established. In this contribution, the introduction of graphene provides a new degree of freedom to manipulate the optical performance as well as the photonic spin Hall effect (SHE). The coherent perfect absorption (CPA)-laser mode still remains in the graphene-incorporated quasi-PT symmetric system, and the spin shift of transmitted light can be significantly enhanced (i.e., up to its upper limitation) in the vicinity of CPA-laser mode, which is 18 times larger than the value of a simple PT symmetric structure. In addition, the excitation of the CPA-laser mode and the huge spin shift of transmitted light can be achieved with the thin gain/loss layers, which will be conducive to the miniaturization of nanophotonic devices based on the photonic SHE in the future.

Published: October 2023

To realize a stable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) 1550-nm light source for the generation of non-classical states, a ring auto-pump-depleted singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) with the assistance of second-harmonic-wave generation (SHG) is designed and built in this Letter. A magnesium oxide doped periodically polarized lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystal and a lithium triborate (LBO) crystal are employed as the optical parametric downconversion (OPDC) and SHG crystals, respectively. Especially, the introduced SHG can firstly increase the loss difference between the lasing and non-lasing modes so that the dual-mode or multi-mode coupling in the achieved SRO can be effectively eliminated and the stable SLM operation is achieved. At the same time, the SHG will automatically adjust the output coupling efficiency of SRO, so as to achieve efficient conversion efficiency and auto-pump depletion of SRO. In addition, due to the SHG, it is easy to achieve the low-intensity noise multi-wavelength output for the stable SLM SRO. As a result, the output powers of the SLM 1550 nm and 775 nm are up to 4.05 W and 3.25 W, respectively, and the total optical conversion of the built SRO can achieve 45.58%. The presented method paves a way to develop a compact stable SLM multi-wavelength SRO, and the obtained SRO is further beneficial to develop compact continuous-variable non-classical light fields.

Published: October 2023

Mini-LED backlights energized by quantum-dot color conversion (QDCC) hold great potential for technological breakthroughs of liquid crystal displays. However, luminance uniformity issues should still be urgently solved owing to the large interval of direct-lit mini-LEDs, especially when covering with a QDCC film (QDCCF) with uniform thickness. Herein, we propose a uniformity improvement approach of mini-LED backlights by employing a QDCCF with nonuniform thickness based on the Lambertian distribution of mini-LEDs, which is demonstrated by screen-printing preparation and ray-tracing simulation. Experimental results show that the luminance uniformity of the nonuniform QDCCF can reach 89.91%, which is 24.92% higher than the uniform one. Ray-tracing simulation further elaborates the mechanism of this significant improvement. Finally, by employing this nonuniform QDCCF, a mini-LED backlight prototype is assembled and achieves high uniformity of 92.15%, good white balance with color coordinates of (0.3482, 0.3137), and high color gamut of 109% NTSC. This work should shed some new light on mini-LED-based display technology.

Authors: Burridge Ben M. , Faruque Imad I. , Rarity John G. , Barreto Jorge
Published: October 2023

Integrated photonics is a powerful contender in the race for a fault-tolerant quantum computer, claiming to be a platform capable of scaling to the necessary number of qubits. This necessitates the use of high-quality quantum states, which we create here using an all-around high-performing photon source on an integrated photonics platform. We use a photonic molecule architecture and broadband directional couplers to protect against fabrication tolerances and ensure reliable operation. As a result, we simultaneously measure a spectral purity of 99.1±0.1%, a pair generation rate of 4.4±0.1MHzmW−2, and an intrinsic source heralding efficiency of 94.0±2.9%. We also see a maximum coincidence-to-accidental ratio of 1644±263. We claim over an order of magnitude improvement in the trivariate trade-off among source heralding efficiency, purity, and brightness. Future implementations of the source could achieve in excess of 99% purity and heralding efficiency using the lowest reported propagation losses.

Authors: Li Shun-Xin , Feng Jia-Cheng , An Yang , Xia Hong
Published: October 2023

The fabrication of different perovskite materials with superior properties into lateral heterostructures can greatly improve device performance and polarization sensitivity. However, the sensitivity of perovskites to solvents and environmental factors makes the fabrication of lateral heterojunctions difficult. Here, we realize high-quality perovskite microwire crystal heterojunction arrays using regioselective ion exchange. Photodetectors with responsivity and detectivity up to 748  A  W−1 and 8.2×1012 Jones are fabricated. The photodetector exhibits responsivity as high as 13.5  A  W−1 at 0 V bias. In addition, the device exhibits ultra-high polarization sensitivity with a dichroic ratio of 5.6, and 81% of its performance was maintained after 144 days of exposure to air.

Published: October 2023

Cells interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM) via cell–ECM adhesions. These physical interactions are transduced into biochemical signals inside the cell which influence cell behaviour. Although cell–ECM interactions have been studied extensively, it is not completely understood how immature (nascent) adhesions develop into mature (focal) adhesions and how mechanical forces influence this process. Given the small size, dynamic nature and short lifetimes of nascent adhesions, studying them using conventional microscopic and experimental techniques is challenging. Computational modelling provides a valuable resource for simulating and exploring various “what if?” scenarios in silico and identifying key molecular components and mechanisms for further investigation. Here, we present a simplified mechano-chemical model based on ordinary differential equations with three major proteins involved in adhesions: integrins, talin and vinculin. Additionally, we incorporate a hypothetical signal molecule that influences adhesion (dis)assembly rates. We find that assembly and disassembly rates need to vary dynamically to limit maturation of nascent adhesions. The model predicts biphasic variation of actin retrograde velocity and maturation fraction with substrate stiffness, with maturation fractions between 18–35%, optimal stiffness of ∼1 pN/nm, and a mechanosensitive range of 1-100 pN/nm, all corresponding to key experimental findings. Sensitivity analyses show robustness of outcomes to small changes in parameter values, allowing model tuning to reflect specific cell types and signaling cascades. The model proposes that signal-dependent disassembly rate variations play an underappreciated role in maturation fraction regulation, which should be investigated further. We also provide predictions on the changes in traction force generation under increased/decreased vinculin concentrations, complementing previous vinculin overexpression/knockout experiments in different cell types. In summary, this work proposes a model framework to robustly simulate the mechanochemical processes underlying adhesion maturation and maintenance, thereby enhancing our fundamental knowledge of cell–ECM interactions.
Re-Envisioning Learning through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Empowering Students in their Personal and Academic Growth
Authors: Hooper Ashley , Hyder Misbah , Colclough Thomas , Mann Daniel
Published: October 2023

We incorporated trauma-informed principles into the design of a synchronous, online Religion and Politics course and then evaluated impacts on student learning through qualitative methods. Using a novel approach, students self-evaluated their learning throughout the course in weekly reflections. Using content analysis and directed coding techniques, we analyzed students’ reflection assessments for themes of trauma-informed principles: safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. We found that students co-developed a sense of safety by engaging in respectful peer dialogue; established trustworthiness through self-disclosure of personal beliefs; collaborated with peers to develop a deeper understanding of course content; and acquired transferable skills through choice in assessments. In addition, students experienced empowerment by recognizing their growth in four primary areas: (1) their personal beliefs and perspectives; (2) their understanding of the course material; (3) their learning; and (4) their ability to use academic tools. Our findings extend and support existing research on the efficacy of trauma-informed practices; furthermore, our research suggests that incorporating trauma-informed principles into course design can support students in their learning as well as bolster their capacity to succeed in other areas inside and outside of the classroom (e.g., engaging in difficult conversations, seeking out support, using transferable skills in other contexts, applying course content to their own lives). Finally, our case study presents innovative approaches for assessing how students engage with trauma-informed course design.
Preconceito de gênero na ciência

Published: October 2023

Mais do que enaltecer a figura feminina o mês de março sempre nos traz oportunidades de abordarmos questões importantes relativas a gênero incluindo as desigualdades impostas. Apesar de grandes avanços sociais, no campo da ciência ainda existem pressões, privilégios e desigualdades no que tange as mulheres. Mulheres ocupam menos postos de liderança e recebem salários mais baixos em muitas situações. Nas instituições públicas brasileiras de ensino superior os processos garantem acesso e equiparação salarial entre homens e mulheres. Nesse caso a trajetória acadêmica expressa nos currículos conta muito. Entretanto, aqui cabe ressaltar que a história mostra que no passado recente a autoria dos trabalhos científicos foi muito influenciada pelo gênero.

Published: October 2023

Objective Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is a frequently encountered diagnostic possibility when considering Parkinson’s disease (PD). While olfactory dysfunction is a common clinical feature in PD, the comparison of olfactory function between the two conditions remains insufficient. This study aimed to compare olfactory function, including threshold, discrimination, and identification (TDI) profiles, between PD and DIP.Methods Consecutive patients with drug-naïve PD (n = 78) or DIP (n = 31) confirmed through dopamine transporter imaging were enrolled in this study. The YSK olfactory function (YOF) test, composed of TDI domains culturally familiar odorants to Koreans, was administered to all patients.Results In the study population, patients with DIP were significantly older than patients with PD. Over 70% of patients in each group had hyposmia or anosmia, and there was no significant difference in the occurrence of olfactory dysfunction between the two groups. In addition, there were no differences in the total YOF score and threshold score between the two groups. Meanwhile, the PD group had a significantly lower discrimination and identification score than the DIP group after adjusting for age, sex, the existence of diabetes, disease duration, and cognitive function.Conclusion This study demonstrated that detailed olfactory profiles are different in PD and DIP, even though olfactory dysfunction can be observed in both conditions.

The presence of abundant surface and underground waters and, consequently, fertile and flat soils favored the birth and expansion of Rome. Before the construction of the first aqueduct, the “springs” were probably the only source of drinking water in Rome. At the same time, today, many of them are only scarce outcrops that, anyway, constitute an important heritage for their hydrogeological, archaeological, and monumental significance. In the present study, a multiparametric analytical approach is reported to highlight possible differences among the still emerging and accessible sources in the area of the Roman Forum and to exclude infiltrations from the water and/or sewage network. Temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and redox potential were measured in situ, while the salt and bicarbonate content, the fixed residue, some UV-Vis indices, and the volatile organic compounds were determined in the laboratory. The microbiological water quality was evaluated by assaying Escherichia coli, intestinal Enterococci, and Salmonella, with the total bacterial count at 22 and 37°C. As expected, all samples are non-potable. Nevertheless, the comparison of data on standpipes close to the springs allowed us to exclude important infiltrations from the water network and the microbiological analysis of those from the sewer network.
Concealment of the face and new physiognomies
Authors: Delupi Baal
Published: October 2023

Facial recognition technology has enabled governments and private companies to have control of millions of faces in different countries around the world. This becomes dangerous since it threatens the privacy of citizens, which is why different activists demonstrate against this form of control and surveillance using different technological and aesthetic resources to prevent said recognition. This work aims at showing how face concealment can be a powerful semiotic device that can slow down or divert facial recognition technology, configuring new physiognomies. We begin by characterizing the forms of concealment of the face in the contemporary digital age, and then we analyze, from a semiotic perspective, a particular case: the different types of makeup that Adam Harvey proposes so that faces cannot be recognized. The results of the investigation show how this form of face concealment that generates new physiognomies builds political senses of resistance against advanced technology that aims to identify, monitor, and control human faces.

Published: October 2023

Spherical Ti-MCM-41, synthetized by co-condensation method, presented very promising activity in catalytic and photocatalytic oxidation of diphenyl sulfide with H2O2 to obtain diphenyl sulfoxide and diphenyl sulfone. Mesoporous silica materials with various titanium content were analyzed with respect to chemical composition (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry), structure properties (X-ray diffraction), textural properties (low-temperature N2 adsorption–desorption), morphology (scanning electron microscopy), forms and aggregation introduced titanium species (diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy), and surface acidity (NH3-TPD). Titanium introduced in the samples was present mainly in the form of highly dispersed species, presenting catalytic and photocatalytic activities in diphenyl sulfide oxidation with H2O2. Efficiency of the reaction increased with an increase in titanium loading in the samples and was significantly intensified under UV irradiation. The role of various Ti species in diphenyl sulfide oxidation was presented and discussed.

Die Auseinandersetzung um den Umgang mit dem Überfluss und um die Bewertung des Luxus lässt sich in der europäischen Tradition bis in die Antike zurückverfolgen. Mit dem Beginn des bürgerlichen Zeitalters erfährt der Überfluss dann eine neue normative Einordnung, die sich entlang von ökonomischen und moralisch-sittlichen Argumentationslogiken entfaltet. Veblens Theorie der feinen Leute liefert dann 1899 eine theoretische Matrix, die es erlaubt, den Umgang mit dem Überfluss historisch und soziologisch zu analysieren. Diese Grundlage wirkt bis zu Pierre Bourdieu, lässt allerdings bildungstheoretische Reflexionen außen vor.

Authors:   Secondary General Education School No. 105 named after the Hero of Russia I. Shelokhvostov, Skladanyuk Valeria N.
Published: October 2023

The article presents the practical aspects of studying the formation of elementary mathematical representations in younger students with speech impairment. The specificity of elementary mathematical representations in younger schoolchildren with speech impairment is analyzed. During the experimental study, it was found that at the ascertaining stage of the experiment, children of primary school age with speech disorders showed low levels of formation of elementary mathematical representations. A program was developed that consists of three stages: preparatory, main and final. A feature of the main stage was the inclusion in the classes not only of tasks for the development of counting skills and mathematical representations, but also of motor exercises. At the control stage of the experiment, the indicators of the development of elementary mathematical representations became higher in the experimental group, which indicates the effectiveness of the use of a psycho-correction program aimed at the growth of elementary mathematical representations of children of primary school age with speech impairment.

Intratumoral androgen biosynthesis contributes to castration-resistant prostate cancer progression in patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy. The molecular mechanisms by which castration-resistant prostate cancer acquires the capacity for androgen biosynthesis to bypass androgen deprivation therapy are not entirely known. Here, we show that semaphorin 3C, a secreted signaling protein that is highly expressed in castration-resistant prostate cancer, can promote steroidogenesis by altering the expression profile of key steroidogenic enzymes. Semaphorin 3C not only upregulates enzymes required for androgen synthesis from dehydroepiandrosterone or de novo from cholesterol but also simultaneously downregulates enzymes involved in the androgen inactivation pathway. These changes in gene expression correlate with increased production of androgens induced by semaphorin 3C in prostate cancer model cells. Moreover, semaphorin 3C upregulates androgen synthesis in LNCaP cell-derived xenograft tumors, likely contributing to the enhanced in vivo tumor growth rate post castration. Furthermore, semaphorin 3C activates sterol regulatory element-binding protein, a transcription factor that upregulates enzymes involved in the synthesis of cholesterol, a sole precursor for de novo steroidogenesis. The ability of semaphorin 3C to promote intratumoral androgen synthesis may be a key mechanism contributing to the reactivation of the androgen receptor pathway in castration-resistant prostate cancer, conferring continued growth under androgen deprivation therapy. These findings identify semaphorin 3C as a potential therapeutic target for suppressing intratumoral steroidogenesis.

Authors: Yildirim Ibrahim , Han Mustafa
Published: October 2023

This research assessed employee motivation levels within the forest products industry. A total of 1,175 individuals engaged in diverse roles across the sector were involved in the study. Data collection relied on the administration of questionnaires. The findings highlighted key motivational factors. Notably, “wages, social rights, and work environment” emerged as the primary contributors to mood and motivation. Similarly, the factors encompassing “wages, social rights, reward systems, and bonuses” ranked highest in terms of motivational tools. Job satisfaction was primarily influenced by “wages and the fulfillment of individual needs.” Furthermore, the study revealed that “education, talent, industriousness, and self-sacrifice” were predominant among influential factors. When it came to desired managerial qualities, “staffing and interpersonal skills” took precedence. Material rewards like “leave entitlements and wage increases” were the foremost considerations for recognizing achievement. During the company selection process, employees considered wage conditions, insurance, social opportunities, health and safety measures, job security, management approach, and growth prospects as vital factors, in descending order of importance.
Systematic review: Climate and non-climate factors influencing wood density in the boreal zone
Authors: Boakye Emmanuel A. , Mvolo Cyriac S. , Stewart Jim
Published: October 2023

Wood density is a crucial factor in determining the quality of wood in boreal ecosystems within the Northern Hemisphere. Climate variables play a significant role in shaping wood density, posing challenges for forest managers and stakeholders in the wood industry to adapt amidst climate change. However, our current understanding of these effects remains incomplete. This systematic literature review explores the multifaceted influences on wood density in the boreal zone, encompassing both climate-related and non-climatic factors. The findings demonstrate that warmer temperatures can cause both increases and decreases in wood density, primarily due to their impact on tracheid lignification and cell wall thickening. Nonetheless, the outcome depends on various factors, including species type, age, soil conditions, presence of pests and diseases, fire, windstorms, and silviculture practices. The quantification of complex relationships between these factors and wood density has been insufficient in existing literature. Understanding the impacts of both climate and non-climate factors on wood density is essential for fostering a sustainable wood industry, while effectively mitigating adverse effects and maximizing benefits. Forest managers can leverage this knowledge to optimize wood production strategies, ensuring long-term ecological resilience amidst the increasingly variable climate challenges.
Comparison of Psychotherapeutic Supervision Paradigms: A Literature Review

Published: October 2023

While there is a considerable body of literature on various psychotherapeutic paradigms and their respective models of supervision, there are not many articles reviewing and comparing different supervisory traditions and supervisor–supervisee relationships. However, this comparison is important on both theoretical and practical levels: it is essential to identify features of supervision that are unique to each paradigm and to determine whether there are any universal or common supervision processes prevalent across a variety of paradigms. This literature review aims to provide a clearer understanding of both commonalities and distinctions among various theoretical paradigms (such as psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, cognitive, and existential/humanistic therapies) and their corresponding models of supervision. To accomplish this goal, the paper examines essential aspects of supervisory relationships within each paradigm, focusing on: a) the key features of the supervision process, b) the supervisor’s role and engagement in the supervision, and c) the primary interventions and factors contributing to the effectiveness of supervision. We identify features that are unique and specific to supervisory relationships in each of the paradigms, as well as features that are common to all three traditions. Considering the theoretical underpinnings of each tradition, the paper discusses epistemological assumptions that could determine the effectiveness of supervision in the context of each therapeutic paradigm.
The Government's Intervention in Functioning the Central Bank of the State Bank from the Practices of Vietnamese Law
Authors: The Giang Vien
Published: October 2023

This paper aims to clarify the relationship between the organizational model of the Central Bank of Vietnam and the Government. In this model, the Government has many rights to intervene directly in the implementation of the central bank function of the State Bank of Vietnam. Such direct interventions have forced the monetary policy to run or depend on fiscal policy and have been forced to pursue the short-term goals of the Government. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) must still supply the Central Government Budget with an amount of money through advance payments to deal with the temporary deficit in the State Budget under the Prime Minister's decision. This made the stability (in the long –term) of monetary value and the sustainable development of the national economy of the central bank become very difficult. The State Bank regularly has to focus a lot of resources on maintaining the stability of the monetary market by resolving the market's hot spots or handling weak credit institutions by administrative interventions...under the Government's requirement that has reduced the independence of the SBV when performing the central bank function.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of the research is to identify the correlation between legal concepts of administrative Procedure and administrative liability in the sphere of urban planning. Main content. The regulatory basis for imposing administrative sanctions in the specified sphere consists of violating legislation, building regulations, standards, rules, etc. Methodology:  The methodological basis of the research is presented as comparative-legal and systematic analysis, formal-legal method, interpretation method, hermeneutic method, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. Conclusions. It is noted that the mechanism of bringing to administrative liability is based on a considerable number of legislative acts, building codes, standards, and rules, and this fact makes it much more challenging to understand this set of rules and contributes to their violation. Emphasis is placed on the fact that many offences in urban planning activities are detected during state architectural and construction control and supervision. Disclosed are some positions of the Supreme Court regarding the consideration and resolution of disputes related to appeals against resolutions on acceptable imposition. Peculiarities of implementation of norms of the institution of administrative liability in the sphere of urban planning activities for offenders of variable status have been revealed.

BACKGROUND

Reducing child mortality in low-income countries is constrained by a lack of vital statistics. In the absence of such data, verbal autopsies provide an acceptable method to determining attributable causes of death. The objective was to assess potential causes of pediatric postdischarge mortality in children younger than age 5 years (under-5) originally admitted for suspected sepsis using verbal autopsies.

METHODS

Secondary analysis of verbal autopsy data from children admitted to 6 hospitals across Uganda from July 2017 to March 2020. Structured verbal autopsy interviews were conducted for all deaths within 6 months after discharge. Two physicians independently classified a primary cause of death, up to 4 alternative causes, and up to 5 contributing conditions using the Start-Up Mortality List, with discordance resolved by consensus.

RESULTS

Verbal autopsies were completed for 361 (98.6%) of the 366 (5.9%) children who died among 6191 discharges (median admission age: 5.4 months [interquartile range, 1.8–16.7]; median time to mortality: 28 days [interquartile range, 9–74]). Most deaths (62.3%) occurred in the community. Leading primary causes of death, assigned in 356 (98.6%) of cases, were pneumonia (26.2%), sepsis (22.1%), malaria (8.5%), and diarrhea (7.9%). Common contributors to death were malnutrition (50.5%) and anemia (25.7%). Reviewers were less confident in their causes of death for neonates than older children (P < .05).

CONCLUSIONS

Postdischarge mortality frequently occurred in the community in children admitted for suspected sepsis in Uganda. Analyses of the probable causes for these deaths using verbal autopsies suggest potential areas for interventions, focused on early detection of infections, as well as prevention and treatment of underlying contributors such as malnutrition and anemia.
Виртуальные аналоги реального мира: особенности вербализации в русском языке
Authors: Маринова Елена
Published: October 2023

В статье на материале русского языка рассматривается массив составных номинаций (более 600), обозначающих объекты и феномены интернет-пространства, которые интерпретируются в духе современной философии – как виртуальные аналоги реального мира. Цель исследования – выявить общий когнитивный принцип образования интернет-номинаций, а также особенности их струк-туры и семантики, определяющие в целом характер неологических процессов в формировании словарного состава цифровой эпохи. К исследованию привлекаются как атрибутивные сочетания разной степени устойчивости (типа виртуальный музей), так и аналитические конструкции (компо-зиты, по другой терминологии): онлайн-голосование, интернет-магазин, кибермир и под.

В результате исследования в качестве основного когнитивного механизма создания составных интернет-номинаций определен перенос наименований из реального мира в виртуальный; вы-явлены регулярные единицы, участвующие в этом процессе в роли атрибутивных компонентов (интернет-, виртуальный, электронный, сетевой, онлайн-, веб-, кибер- и др.). На основе темати-ческой классификации интернет-номинаций и семантического анализа атрибутов установлены их парадигматические связи; отмечается также специфика развития семантики атрибутивных единиц, а именно формирование общего значения ‘реализуемый, существующий в Сети’. Исследование вы-полнено в русле функциональной социолингвистики на материале преимущественно узуальных единиц.

Результаты исследования показали, что для процесса вербализации виртуальных аналогов реального мира с помощью составных номинаций характерно тематическое разнообразие базовых субстантивов (богослужение, газета, знакомство, сделка, урок, экскурсия и т. д.), что свидетельствует о широком вовлечении различных сфер деятельности современного человека в виртуальное про-странство. В то же время было установлено, что создание интернет-номинаций на русской почве или их заимствование из английского языка демонстрируют выделенность определенных предмет-ных областей с точки зрения активности номинирования их объектов, а также различный объем самих номинаций, относящихся к этим областям (самая многочисленная группа номинаций отно-сится к сфере бизнеса).

Изучение парадигматических связей между единицами в анализируемом материале доказыва-ет высказанную автором статьи ранее идею о принципе множественности наименований одного и того же объекта, которую можно считать тенденцией, проявляющейся, как правило, в периоды активизации неологического процесса. Дальнейшее наблюдение за развитием словарного состава русского языка цифровой эпохи планируется провести на материале составных номинаций, строя-щихся на базе личных существительных.

Introduction

Considering adverse correlates of problematic use of internet use (PUI), the present study evaluated an intervention aimed at PUI and several putative underpinnings.

Methods

A randomized controlled trial study investigated the efficacy of emotional working memory training (eWMT) in improving impulsivity, risky decision-making, and cognitive emotion-regulation (CER) strategies among individuals with PUI in comparison with a placebo group. Young adults (N = 36) with PUI were either trained for 20 sessions in an n-back dual emotional task (eWMT; n = 18) or a feature-matching task (placebo; n = 18).

Results

Twenty continuous sessions of eWMT significantly improved participants' impulsivity, risky decision-making, CER, internet use and PUI symptoms in the short term, compared to the placebo condition.

Discussion

These preliminary results suggest that eWMT may constitute a promising intervention for PUI and improving cognitive and emotional functioning, and larger, longer studies are warranted.
The right to respect for private and family life of children born through international surrogacy in the case law of the European court of human rights
Authors: Pap Márk
Published: October 2023

The ECHR is a general human rights convention, but it contains some provisions that have gained particular importance in the case law of the ECtHR regarding the human rights of children. Such a provision is, among others, Article 8 on the right to respect for private and family life, the interpretation of which has raised many questions in cases related to children born through international surrogacy. These questions have arisen in relation to the intended parents' standing to bring an application before the Court on behalf of the child, the criteria for ascertaining the interference of the respondent state with the child's right to respect for his private and family life, as well as the specific content of the requirements that must be met for the interference to be justified. By analysing these questions and the answers the Court gave to them, this article attempts to give an overview of the state's obligations to ensure the right of a child born through international surrogacy to respect for his private and family life in connection with the recognition of the parent-child relationship between the intended parents and the child.
The winding access to legal status for unaccompanied migrant minors in Spain
Authors: Rinaldi Patrizia
Published: October 2023

This article analyses an inclusive and participatory approach to regularising ‘Non-Asylum Seeking Unaccompanied Migrant Minors’ in Spain. The terminology is multiple; in this paper, the choice has fallen on Unaccompanied Migrant Minors with the acronym UMMs instead of UAMs, to be consistent with the doctoral thesis already defended in 2021. The term UASC, specific to unaccompanied migrant minors seeking asylum, was excluded. To fully assess the process, it is necessary to account for the following factors shaping their administrative situation: (a) how they reach adulthood, (b) whether they are in regular or irregular situations, and (c) the waiting time for obtaining regularity status and citizenship. This article reviews the gap between perspectives of legal protection, good intentions, and political restrictions.

The study has been carried out considering the results of qualitative research obtained through interviews with minors, staff members at reception centres, guardians, and immigration authorities. Particular attention is devoted to the limited number of resident permits granted to the UMMs. The methodology was enriched by desk research; most sources cited in the article are legal instruments and academic papers.

The different dimensions of regularization are analysed by paying attention to (i) residence permits and political rights; (ii) the role of guardianship in administrative regularization; and (iii) vulnerability related to the legal status of unaccompanied migrant minors. A comprehensive assessment is carried out based on children's rights and the social, institutional, and organizational contexts, as well as considering the policies which condition the protection milieu concerning migrant children and the practices at both general and operative levels.
First record of Centropomus undecimalis (Bloch, 1792) (Perciformes, Centropomidae), Common Snook, in the Patos Lagoon estuary, in southern Brazil

We report the first record of Centropomus undecimalis (Bloch, 1792), Common Snook, in the Patos Lagoon estuary (32°S), Brazil. Two specimens were caught in April and May 2021 as bycatch in the fyke nets fish-ery for shrimp. Centropomus undecimalis was previously known to occur south to 29° S. We hypothesize that the intensification of the warm Brazilian Current has being promoted an expansion southward of this fish species along the Brazilian coast.
Evil: A Critical Primer
Authors: MacKendrick Kenneth G.
Published: October 2023

Evil: A Critical Primer begins with the claim that evil is a concept that is contextually bound. This means that we should not expect to find shared or similar notions of evil across cultures. Addressing evil in a way that is at once contextually specific and applicable to cross-cultural settings, this primer breaks with moral conceptions of evil by redescribing it within a new framework of dangers and aversions (i.e., things that cause harm and things to avoid). Doing so provides an empirical and heuristic framework as a new starting point for the study of religion, deemphasizing things associated with evil (like the devil, wickedness, or a diabolic will) and focusing instead on attitudes and practices (like rituals of purity and impurity, notions of clean and dirty, or expressions of disgust). Introducing and reflecting on cultural and cognitive aspects of classification, myth, ritual, emotions, and morality, Evil: A Critical Primer argues that our colloquial conception of evil, as related exclusively to the moral domain, is usefully illuminated by attending to historical and cultural context and cross-cultural comparison.

Prevalence of anterior nares colonization of Palestinian diabetic patients with Staphylococcus aureus or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Published: October 2023

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes the anterior nares of about one-third of the human population. Anterior nares colonization with S. aureus or methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) allows these pathogens to colonize the skin and other anatomical locations. Accordingly, these pathogens may cause different types of endogenous infections. To investigate the prevalence of nasal carriage of S. aureus or MRSA among Palestinian diabetic patients, nasal swabs were taken from 151 diabetic patients, about to undergo invasive surgeries. Thirty-five patients (35.1% of the total patients) were found to be colonized with S. aureus, of which 14 (9.7% of the total patients) were found to be colonized with MRSA. These proportions were higher than those described for the general population (30% and 1.3%, respectively) or even for Palestinian patients in general (25.9% and 2%, respectively). In addition, the proportion of nasal carriage of S. aureus or MRSA among Palestinian diabetic patients was found to be higher than that described for diabetic patients in other countries. Meanwhile, 30 of the 53 isolates (57% of the total isolates) were also found to be multidrug-resistant. Accordingly, the proportion of anterior nares colonization with S. aureus or MRSA in Palestinian diabetic patients was remarkably high.
