Identifying with the Beautiful: Facial attractiveness effects on unisensory and multisensory self-other distinction
Authors: Panagiotopoulou Elena , Crucianelli Laura , Lemma Alessandra , Fotopoulou Aikaterini
Published: February 2020

People tend to evaluate their own traits and abilities favourably and such favourable self-perceptions extend to attractiveness. However, the exact mechanism underlying this self-enhancement bias remains unclear and one possibility could be the identification with attractive others through blurring of self-other boundaries. Across two experiments, we used the enfacement illusion to investigate the effect of the attractiveness of others in the multisensory perception of the self. In a first experiment (N=35), participants were stroked on the cheek while looking at an attractive vs. non-attractive face being stroked on the cheek in synchrony or asynchrony. In the second experiment (N=35), two new faces were used and spatial incοngruency was introduced as a control condition. The results showed that increased ratings of attractiveness of an unfamiliar face lead to blurring of self-other boundaries, allowing the identification of our psychological self with another's physical self, and specifically their face, and this seems to be unrelated to perceived own attractiveness. The effect of facial attractiveness on face ownership showed dissociable mechanisms, with multisensory integration modulating the effect on similarity but not identification, an effect that may be purely based on vision. Overall, our findings suggest that others’ attractiveness may lead to positive distortions of the self, identifying with the more rather than less attractive others. This research provides a psychophysical starting point for studying the impact of others' attractiveness on how we perceive the self, which can be particularly important for individuals with malleable, embodied self-other boundaries and body image disturbances.
Children’s interpretation of ambiguous pronouns based on prior discourse
Authors: Bohn Manuel , Le Khuyen , Peloquin Benjamin , Koymen Bahar , Frank Michael C.
Published: February 2020

In conversation, individual utterances are almost always ambiguous, with this ambiguity resolved by context and discourse history (common ground). One important cue for disambiguation is the topic under discussion with a particular partner (e.g., “want to pick?” means something different in a conversation with a bluegrass musician vs. with a book club partner). Here, we investigated 2- to 5-year-old American English-speaking children’s (N = 131) reliance on conversational topics with specific partners to interpret ambiguous or novel words. In a tablet-based game, children heard a speaker consistently refer to objects from a category without mentioning the category itself. In study 1, 3- and 4-year-olds interpreted the ambiguous pronoun “it” as referring to another member of the same category. In study 2, only 4-year-olds interpreted the pronoun as referring to the implied category when talking to the same speaker but not when talking to a new speaker. Thus, children’s conception of what constitutes common ground in discourse develops substantially between age 2 and 5.
Should females play Australian football? You’re asking the wrong question…
Authors: Fox Aaron , Bonacci Jason , Hoffmann Samantha , Nimphius Sophia , Saunders Natalie
Published: February 2020

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been a rising concern in the early years of the women’s Australian Football League (AFLW) – eliciting headlines of a “knee crisis” surrounding the league. There has been a focus on female biology as the primary factor driving the high rate of ACL injuries in the AFLW. Emphasising Australian football as being dangerous for females due to their biology may be misrepresenting a root cause of the ACL injury problem, perpetuating gender stereotypes that can restrict physical development and participation of females in the sport. We propose that that a framework addressing environmental and sociocultural factors, along with biological determinants, is required to truly challenge the ACL injury problem in the AFLW. Sports science and medicine must therefore strive to understand the whole system of female Australian football, and question how to address inequities for the benefit of the athletes.

Epidemiology of Important Poultry Diseases in Nepal
Authors: Gompo T. R. , Pokhrel U. , Shah B. R. , Bhatta D. D.
Published: February 2020

Despite the rapidly growing poultry industry throughout Nepal, the periodic outbreaks of diseases and infections in poultry birds led to huge production loss. The aim of this study was to identify the top ten poultry diseases in Nepal and an analysis of their seasonal distributions. A cross-sectional study was performed to describe the distributions of major poultry diseases diagnosed from April 2018 to April 2019 at Central Veterinary Laboratory, Nepal. Out of 2358 observations recorded at the CVL registry at that period, only 2271 observations qualified for the final analysis. Among 2271, removing the missing values, only 1915 observations were used to describe bird characteristics such as median age and mean flock sizes. Descriptive analysis and graphical representation was performed in R studio (Version 1.0.143) and MS excel 2010 respectively. The top ten diseases identified with highest to lowest incidence were: colibacillosis 26% (584/2271), mycotoxicosis 13% (301/2271), ascites 10% (232/2271), complicated chronic respiratory disease (cCRD) 9% (196/2271), infectious bursal disease (IBD) 7% (155/2271), Newcastle disease (ND) 7% (148/2271), avian influenza (AI) 3% (76/2271), salmonellosis 2% (40/2271), infectious bronchitis 1% (33/2271), coccidiosis 1% (25/2271) and non-specific diseases accounts for 21% (481/2271). Cases of colibacillosis were predominant all year round. Mycotoxicosis was seen mostly during pre-monsoon and monsoon season. Ascites and IBD were common during spring and winter seasons. cCRD was most common during summer and winter months. AI kept changing the disease outbreak pattern but it was most common during spring and summer. The number of cases of Salmonella, IB and coccidiosis were not sufficient to provide the seasonal trend. Identification of common poultry disease and their seasonal distributions is useful in taking preventive measures such as vaccination and good management practices to minimize their incidence in the future.
Dog: A Friendly Pathway to Zoonoses
Authors: Pathak A. , Kaphle K.
Published: February 2020

Canis lupus familaris (Dog); a companion animal or even considered man’s best friend is believed to have been living in harmony with humans since thousands of years. Recent discovery in Chauvet cave in France: foot print of 8-year-old boy alongside the paw print is believed to have been dated back to Paleolithic period. Reports even suggest that pet owners are less prone to high cholesterol and high blood pressure than the non-pet owners. However, dogs are also the major reservoir of various zoonotic infections. Several bacterial, viral or protozoal diseases that occur in human are transmitted from the dogs. Such diseases are known as zoonotic diseases. These diseases can be transmitted by simple contact with the infected dogs or by infected urine or feces, saliva or aerosols. Viral infections such as rabies and noro virus, bacterial infection such as pasteurellosis, salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, leptospirosis and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections and protozoal infections like ancylostomiasis, toxocariasis and Dipylidium caninum infection are the most common zoonotic infections. This paper focuses on these diseases including information on signs and symptoms, mode of transmission and prevention of these diseases. As much as these infections are concerned, knowledge boosting of the pet owners regarding zoonotic disease along with proper hygiene and good sanitation practices could considerably decline the rate of zoonoses transmission and consequences.
Obilježja neverbalne komunikacije djece sa selektivnim mutizmom – nalikuju li onima u poremećaju iz spektra autizma?
Authors: Burić Mirna , Cepanec Maja , Šimleša Sanja
Published: February 2020

Selektivni mutizam (SM) rijedak je anksiozni poremećaj, obilježen odsutnošću govora u socijalnim situacijama u kojima se od osobe očekuje da govori, čak i kada ona može govoriti u drugim situacijama. Cilj ovoga rada bio je: ispitati obilježja neverbalne komunikacije djece predškolske i rane školske dobi koja imaju selektivni mutizam, utvrditi i opisati koja su obilježja zajednička djeci sa selektivnim mutizmom i onoj s poremećajem iz spektra autizma (PSA) u situaciji ispitivanja. Osim toga, cilj rada bio je: odrediti razlikovna obilježja djece sa selektivnim mutizmom i one s poremećajem iz spektra autizma u ispitnoj situaciji, radi dobivanja smjernica za lakši postupak dijagnosticiranja selektivnog mutizma. Obilježja neverbalne komunikacije ispitana su Opservacijskim protokolom za dijagnostiku autizma (ADOS-2; Lord i sur., 2012), a u istraživanju je sudjelovalo sedam djevojčica u dobi od 5 do 10 godina. Rezultati pokazuju kako je većina djece sa selektivnim mutizmom imala minimalan kontakt očima (57,1 %) te oskudne izraze lica. Djeca su upotrijebila konvencionalne, informativne i instrumentalne geste prilikom odgovora na pitanja, no opisne geste javile su se u vrlo malom broju. Nadalje, djevojčice su rijetko započinjale socijalne interakcije, davale informacije o sebi ili tražile informacije od ispitivača. Iako su obilježja komunikacije i interakcija djevojčica sa selektivnim mutizmom u ispitnoj situaciji prilično nalikovala obilježjima djece sa PSA-om, postoje ponašanja koja čine razlikovna obilježja navedena dva poremećaja. Odstupanja u neverbalnoj komunikaciji djece sa selektivnim mutizmom prisutna su samo u određenim situacijama. Isto tako, nepostojanje stereotipnih i drugih neuobičajenih ponašanja, upotreba gesta te afektivni socijalni odnosi jasno razlikuju selektivni mutizam i poremećaj iz spektra autizma.
On the meaning of ‘the Alexandrian column’
Authors: Zaslavsky O. B.
Published: February 2020

Any attempt to interpret Pushkin’s The Monument [ Pamyatnik ] has for a long time been frustrated by the struggle to explain what the poet meant by ‘the Alexandrian column’ ( Aleksandriyskiy stolp ), with which he contrasts the ‘the monument not built with hands’. The author proves that the researchers looking for the only correct answer (a pursuit that has kept Pushkin scholars busy for decades) have been asking the wrong question all along. It is his belief that the phrase ‘Alexandrian column’ is used in the poem without any identifiable denotation and that the image’s artistic vagueness is deliberate. The poem alludes to several historical objects from various countries and epochs, including the more contemporary rein of the Russian emperor Alexander I. However, it appears that none of those allusions have any distinguishable features for identification purposes, hence easy confusion of the Alexander column with the Lighthouse of Alexandria. A similar effect occurs from the use of the ambiguous adjective ‘Aleksandriyskiy’ (‘Alexandrian’) to describe the Alexander column, illustrating the eroding historical memory about rulers.
Female Christian prose today: A failed search for new women’s subjectivity?
Authors: Chelpanova E.
Published: February 2020

In her analysis of books by Maya Kucherskaya, Olesya Nikolaeva, and Yulia Voznesenskaya, the author investigates the history of female Christian prose from the 1990s until the present day. According to the author, it was in the 1990s, the period of crisis and transformation of the social system, that female Christian writers were more vocal, than today, on the issues of the new post-Soviet female subjectivity, drawing on folklore imagery and contrasting the folk, pagan philosophy with the Christian one, defined by an established set of rules and limitations for the principal female roles. Thus, the folklore elements in Kucherskaya’s early works are considered as an attempt to represent female subjectivity. However, the author argues that, in their current work, Kucherskaya and other representatives of the so-called female Christian prose tend to choose different, objectivizing methods to represent female characters. This new and conservative approach may have come from a wider social context, including the state-imposed ‘family values’ program.
Pushkin’s The Captain’s Daughter [ Kapitanskaya dochka ]: Why is the fort called Belogorskaya?
Authors: Shaposhnikova V. V.
Published: February 2020

The article is concerned with the origin and symbolism of the name of the Belogorskaya fort in Pushkin’s The Captain’s Daughter [ Kapitanskaya dochka ]. It is a fictional name, although the story also mentions the real forts in the Orenburg Governorate. The name pattern may have come from the fort Krasnogorskaya ( The Pugachev History [ Istoriya Pugacheva ]), but other toponyms seem important too: Svyatogorskiy [ of/on a holy mountain ] monastery, Trigorskoye estate [ of/near three mountains ]. Pushkin may have also been inspired by the Ural’s limestone cliffs, but more significantly, by his long-term contemplation of ‘the white on the mountain’ (I. Surat) and a white mountain as an image of a moral ideal. Both roots in the name Belogorskaya play an important role. The first one [ bel- (white) ] reflects the sacred symbolism of the white color. The second root ( gor(a) [ mountain ]) is a play on the fort’s elevated location, which, in turn, corresponds to the significance of a mountain in Christian mythology. The name of the fortress, therefore, is evocative of the noble spirit of its defenders, as well as the enduring nature of family ties.

Cholecystectomy for Resistant Metastatic Malignant Melanoma of the Gallbladder: A Case Report
Authors: Corbetta Machado Maria Julia , Karihaloo Costa , Corbetta Machado Maria Julia
Published: February 2020

Malignant melanoma is an unpredictable disease, known to metastasize early even in thin melanomas.
Historically the presence of intraabdominal metastasis meant poor prognosis with a 5-year survival of less
than 20%. That has significantly changed with effective systemic therapy (EST), with most recent studies
reporting 5-year survival of up to 50%. Metastasecectomy for resistant disease has been considered in Stage
IV disease, however there is very little literature on the combination of EST and metastasectomy. This report
describes a case of Stage IV malignant melanoma patient who developed resistant disease within her
gallbladder fundic wall. She underwent open cholecystectomy, with complete metabolic response at 1-year
follow up PET.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, psikiyatri ve psikoloji alanları için önemli bir bilgi kaynağı olan ikiz araştırmalarının betimlenmesidir. İkiz araştırmaları, çevre ve kalıtım arasındaki sınırları belirlemeye odaklanmaktadır. Özellikle bu konuda yürütülen güncel araştırmalarda genetik ve çevresel faktörlerin önemine yapılan vurgu dikkate değerdir ve bu derleme çalışmasının da ana vurgularından birini oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmacılar için, ikiz araştırmalarının planlanmasında ve tasarlanmasında öne çıkan temel bileşenler, “çalışma deseni olarak ikiz araştırmalarının tercih edilme nedeni”, “ikiz araştırmalarında kullanılan temel varsayımlar”, “ikiz araştırmalarının sınırlılıkları” ve “yöntem olarak tercih edilen güncel ikiz desenleri”dir. Bu sebeple öncelikle bu temel bileşenlerden bahsedilecektir. Alanyazında öncü sayılan araştırmacılar tarafından tanımlanan ve ikiz araştırmalarında sıklıkla kullanılan on dört ikiz araştırması deseni ve bu araştırma desenlerinin kullanıldığı araştırma bulgularına da yer verilmiştir. Bu araştırmaların bazılarının alanda sıklıkla tercih edildiği, bazılarının ise örneklem zorluğu nedeniyle sınırlı sayıda yürütüldüğü görülmektedir. Ancak tüm araştırma desenlerinde, genetik ve çevrenin karşılıklı etkileşimlerine vurgu yapan araştırmaların, araştırmacılar için güncelliğini ve önemini koruduğu görülmektedir. Son olarak, ikiz araştırmalarının sınırlılıkları hakkında prospektif araştırmalara yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
The true penalty of the waiting room: the role of wait time in patient satisfaction in a busy spine practice
Authors: Zakare-Fagbamila Rasheedat T. , Park Christine , Dickson Wes , Cheng Tracy Z. , Gottfried Oren N.
Published: February 2020

OBJECTIVE

Most clinics collect routine data on performance metrics on physicians for outpatient visits. However, the relationship of these metrics with patient experience is unclear. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationships between the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Clinician and Group Survey (CG-CAHPS), the standard patient experience survey, and clinic performance metrics to understand the determinants of patient satisfaction and identify targets for improving patient experience.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective single-institution cohort review of spine surgeon metrics over 15 months including demographics, waiting-room times, in-room times, lead times, timely note closure, timely MyChart responses, and monthly patient volume. Kruskal-Wallis tests and mixed-model regression were used to determine the predictors of 3 domains of patient satisfaction—Global, Access, and Communication.

RESULTS

Over 15 months, 22 surgeons conducted 27,090 visits. The average clinic visit total time was 85.17 ± 25.75 minutes. Increased wait times were associated with poor Global (p = 0.008), Access (p < 0.001), and Communication scores (p = 0.003) in univariate analysis. Every 10-minute increase in waiting time was associated with a 3%, 9.8%, and 2.4% decrease in Global, Access, and Communication scores, respectively. Increased in-room time was also an independent predictor of poor Access scores (p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, increased wait times were negative predictors of Global (p = 0.005), Access (p < 0.001), and Communication (p = 0.002) scores.

CONCLUSIONS

Excessive waiting-room time significantly impacts unexpected dimensions of the patient experience and impacts communication with patients. Understanding the complex relationship between the factors that inform the patient experience will help target effective interventions to improve clinic efficiency and patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACTBreadfruit leaves contain flavonoid compounds that can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Breadfruit leaf extract is practical and effective formulated in ointment preparations. The base combination of PEG 400 and PEG 4000 decreases the melting point of PEG 4000, so that it is compatible and can increase the penetration of drugs in the skin. The objective of this study to determine the breadfruit leaf extract ointment with a combination of PEG 400 and PEG 4000 bases as well as antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Breadfruit leaf extract (BLE) was obtained by maceration with 70% ethanol. Salve preparations were made into III formulas with variations in base concentrations of PEG 400 and PEG 4000, namely (F1) 75%: 25%, (F2) 50%: 50%, (F3) 25%: 75%, using the fusion method. Antibacterial activity test used agar well diffusion method. Kruskal Wallis test and Mann Whitney test used for analyzed data from antibacterial activity test. The ointment of Breadfruit leaves extract showed the color of brown ointment, semi-solid form, distinctive aroma of breadfruit leave. All of three ointment formulas have antibacterial activity indicated by the formation of inhibitory zones around the well. All of three ointment formulas have significant differences which means the combination of PEG 400 and PEG 4000 can affect antibacterial activity of BLE ointment. The higher of the concentration PEG 4000 compared PEG 400 caused inhibiton zone become smaller that means the potency of antibacterial decreased. The formula has the greatest antibacterial activity in the FI is 8,02mm.Keywords: breadfruit leaves, ointment, PEG 400 and PEG 4000, antibacterial

STRUKTUR KOMUNITAS PARASITOID YANG BERASOSIASI DENGAN PENGOROK DAUN TANAMAN BAWANG MERAH DI BALI
Authors: Hamid
Published: February 2020

The existence of a type of parasitoid in an area with a certain height is largely determined by several factors, including the physical environment, space, feed sources, the presence of other parasites and human intervention. The purpose of this study was to determine the community structure of parasitoid associated with stone leek leafminer including abundance index, diversity index and dominance index in several locations of onion planting in Bali. Field surveys are conducted regularly during one planting season. On the location of onion plantations with an altitude of<500 m asl, covering the Badung Regency and Gianyar Regencies, on the onion planting area at that location no parasitoid was found (abundance index R1 = 0.00; diversity index H’= 0.00; dominance index D = 0.00).

Authors: Spillman Courtney Mercedes , Imperial Lorelie , Crippen Kent
Published: February 2020

The ChANgE Chem (NSF-1625378) utilizes Cognitive Apprenticeship as a theoretical framework for integrating engineering practices into a freshman chemistry laboratory course for engineering majors with the goal of better supporting all students to degree completion. The activities are structured as three-week Design Challenges (DCs) where students use chemistry knowledge to solve authentic engineering problems. This study explores the experiences of students taking the course in-sequence (i.e. fall of freshman year) versus those taking it out-of-sequence (i.e. spring), where out-of-sequence students have been identified as at higher academic risk. Data was collected through audio and video recordings and post-laboratory surveys. Video recordings were coded using a protocol to identify type and frequency of issues and questions asked. The post-laboratory surveys obtained information concerning students’ perception of task difficulty and their feelings of being like an engineer. The data demonstrated that while out-of-sequence students ask more questions and experience more issues, they did feel like successful engineers and did not find the tasks too difficult. Therefore, additional curriculum supports as well as assistance from a Teaching Assistant are needed in order to positively influence the persistence of out-of-sequence students in spite of the challenges they may face.
