COMPARISON OF NANOPORE AND CLASSICAL SANGER SEQUENCING TO IDENTIFY MOSQUITO BLOODMEAL HOSTS
Authors: Kothera Linda , Hills Spencer J. , Panella Nicholas A. , Brault Aaron C.
Published: December 2024

The tools available to vector control districts (VCDs) to collect mosquito surveillance data are constantly evolving. As more VCDs obtain real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instruments and the costs associated with computing power and next-generation sequencing continue to decrease, the option of generating useful molecular data in-house becomes more viable. Measures such as arbovirus testing and genotyping for insecticide resistance mutations using RT-qPCR, and identifying species used for mosquito bloodmeals with next-generation sequencing or Sanger sequencing are examples. In this study we identify mosquito host bloodmeal species using Nanopore sequencing from Oxford Nanopore Technologies. We used MinION and Flongle flow cells and a Mk1C device to sequence 96 barcoded amplicon samples in a single sequencing run, and share details of data analysis using the free-to-use Galaxy bioinformatics platform. After sequencing the same samples with Sanger sequencing, we conclude that Nanopore sequencing is better at identifying species in mixed bloodmeals. This work demonstrates a potential use of nanopore sequencing by VCDs with basic biology laboratory and computing equipment.

Published: December 2024

Lipomas are benign tumors of mesodermal origin composed of mature adipocytes. They are classified into superficial and deep types located in the subcutaneous and subfascial locations respectively. The subfascial is further subdivided into 2 subtypes intermuscular and intramuscular. Presented was a 63 year old woman with a right sided swelling of the buttock in the past 7 months. Clinical, imaging and histologic evaluation resulted in the definitive diagnosis of a giant intramuscular lipoma of the gluteus. The lesion was well circumscribed with a defined pseudo capsule an indication of a benign disease with minimal risk of recurrence when compared to the infiltrative type. Giant intramuscular lipoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a gluteal mass. CT scan was useful in the preoperative diagnosis that included the nature of the tumor due to the low attenuation of fat, homogenous echogenicity, well defined capsule that were in favour of a benign lesion than malignancy. This was in addition to the extent of the tumour. Surgical excision provided the definitive diagnosis.
Tradizione e traduzione. Il De Pallio di Tertulliano
Authors: Campus Alessandro
Published: December 2024

In the short work De Pallio Tertullian reports the Christian use of the pallium to the Carthaginian tradition, showing how the construction of Christian identity is also based on pre-Roman tradition. The autoethnography that Tertullian carries out in this treatise shows how he tries to insert the new religion within the North African cultural heritage, reevaluating the ancient non-Roman traditions, within the framework of the cultural rearrangement of the post-Punic identity horizon. Finding a new meaning to one’s life means reformulating one’s identity in dialectical terms. In the chronological scansion of anamnesis, diagnosis, prognosis, that is, of past, present, future, there is no doubt that the negotiation between the different moments serves to structure identity.
Le livre de missire Marc Paul: caratteristiche testuali e strategie traduttive
Authors: Tomasi Laura
Published: December 2024

Le livre de missire Marc Paul (PFr) is the Middle French translation of the P version of the Devisement dou monde. Only two manuscripts preserve this translation: London, BL, Egerton 2176 (L) and Stockholm, KB, M. 305 (S), presumably both produced in ateliers. Far from the Franco-Italian text F, PFr conveyed the DM to a new audience, recognisable in a social milieu close to the French crown. Moreover, the linguistic shift from Latin to Middle French produced reworkings of the model text, especially in the prologue. In addition to providing some information on the history of the two manuscripts and their circulation, the article focuses mainly on the investigation of the textual characteristics of PFr, its relationship to the P version and its mode of translation.

“Alguna gente interpretó muy mal cuando yo dije lo del no rotundo en lo de la amnistía”. Lo de + SN: Apuntes sobre la evidencialidad y la variación lingüística
Authors: Monjour Alf
Published: December 2024

El concepto de evidencialidad remite, como se sabe, a aquella categoría lingüística, observada en determinadas lenguas, con la que se marca morfológicamente la fuente de la información reportada en el enunciado. Otras lenguas –como el español– se sirven, para fines análogos, de ciertos mecanismos léxicos y morfosintácticos entre los que cuentan algunas estructuras con lo referencial o los demostrativos neutros, es decir, lo de + SN, eso de + SN, esto de + SN y aquello de + SN. Se tratará de concretar, a base de corpus orales y escritos, la posición de estos marcadores de evidencialidad dentro de la arquitectura variacional de la lengua. Así se pueden constatar notables diferencias entre la frecuencia de empleo de las cuatro estructuras, una mayor representación de estas estructuras en España respecto a los otros países hispánicos, y la irrelevancia, a la hora de explicar su frecuencia de empleo, de los factores sociolingüísticos que constituyen el nivel de estudios, el sexo y la edad de los hablantes. Finalmente se destacará como elemento más característico el arraigo de estos marcadores evidenciales (salvo aquello de + SN) en el discurso oral y los registros típicos de la informalidad, así como en la escenificación de lo oral mediante las estrategias de la oralidad fingida.

Breve esbozo de la historia de la lexicografía polaco-española
Authors: Stala Ewa
Published: December 2024

Este artículo tiene por objetivo familiarizar al lector hispanohablante con la lexicografía hispano-polaca y su historia. Por ser la lexicografía un espejo fiel de los contactos humanos, empezamos con un esbozo histórico sobre los contactos entre Polonia y España. La parte principal es un panorama lexicográfico desde las primeras obras multilingües de los siglos XVI-XVII, donde el español aparece junto con el polaco hasta el siglo XX, cuando aparecen los primeros diccionarios bilingües. En la descripción se intenta presentar, dentro de lo posible, tanto la macro como la microestructura de las obras. La última parte está dedicada a los proyectos más recientes: aplicaciones o diccionarios multimediales. La metodología aplicada, dado el carácter del artículo, es meramente descriptiva e historiográfica. Por la misma razón, las eventuales conclusiones las pueden constituir las nuevas líneas de investigación de las obras presentadas o las potenciales obras lexicográficas que puedan completar el panorama aquí esbozado.
Aplicación de las políticas de igualdad y diversidad a la redacción de guías docentes en la UCLM
Authors: Martín-Macho Harrison Ana
Published: December 2024

La toma de conciencia de la sociedad española respecto al machismo se refleja en distintos ámbitos. Entre ellos, el lenguaje igualitario se ha convertido en un debate polarizado entre las posiciones normativa y sociolingüística. Dada la necesidad de “adoptar una visión más matizada […] de las relaciones entre género gramatical y sexismo” (Escandell-Vidal, 2020), tras definir la relación entre sexo, género gramatical y género sociocultural, en este artículo se exponen los argumentos normativos y sociolingüísticos respecto al masculino genérico. Y se explora el recorrido de propuestas como el morfema neutro -e. Asimismo, se argumenta la idoneidad de la guía docente para dar cumplimiento al marco legal que establece tanto el uso de un lenguaje igualitario como la defensa de la igualdad y la diversidad en la UCLM. Se aportan para ello pautas y materiales complementarios a las Recomendaciones para un Uso Adecuado del Lenguaje en las Universidades de la CRUE y a la Guía del lenguaje no sexista de la UCLM. Por último, se propone una lista de comprobación aplicable a cualquier guía docente para dar cumplimiento a la normativa vigente en materia de igualdad. Más allá del lenguaje, incluye sugerencias para apartados como las competencias o la bibliografía.

Empowering High School Students: The Impact of Group Self-Compassion Interventions on Anxiety Tendencies
Authors: Andhita Nadya , Boediman Lia Mawarsari
Published: December 2024

Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health issues among adolescents worldwide. These issues can make it hard for individuals to control their fear of future events, and they can lead to a decline in physical, cognitive, social relationships, and occupational functions. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of group intervention based on self-compassion principles in reducing anxiety levels among high school adolescents. Self-compassion involves having a kind and understanding attitude towards oneself when facing suffering. The intervention was conducted in a group setting because adolescents often find it easier to relate and learn from their peers. This study suggests that group intervention based on self-compassion principles can increase self-compassion levels and decrease anxiety levels in high school adolescents. However, the significance of the quantitative changes remains inconsistent. Factors such as participants’ intrinsic motivation, commitment to attendance, school support, group cohesiveness, and the facilitator’s role in improving therapeutic group dynamics need to be evaluated to enhance the effectiveness of this group intervention.

Gangguan kecemasan merupakan masalah kesehatan mental yang paling umum di kalangan remaja di seluruh dunia. Gangguan ini dapat berdampak negatif bagi individu dalam mengendalikan rasa takut terhadap kejadian di masa depan, serta menyebabkan penurunan fungsi fisik, kognitif, hubungan sosial, dan pekerjaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat efektivitas intervensi kelompok berbasis prinsip-prinsip self-compassion dalam mengurangi tingkat kecemasan di kalangan remaja SMA. Self-compassion atau dalam bahasa Indonesia disebut welas diri adalah sikap yang penuh kebaikan dan pengertian terhadap diri sendiri ketika menghadapi penderitaan. Intervensi pada penelitian ini dilakukan dalam kelompok karena remaja seringkali lebih mudah mengidentifikasi diri dan belajar dari teman sebaya. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa intervensi kelompok berbasis prinsip-prinsip self-compassion dapat meningkatkan tingkat self-compassion dan menurunkan tingkat kecemasan pada remaja SMA. Namun, signifikansi perubahan secara kuantitatif masih inkonsisten. Faktor-faktor seperti motivasi intrinsik peserta, komitmen terhadap kehadiran, dukungan dari guru-guru sekolah, kohesivitas kelompok, serta peran fasilitator dalam meningkatkan dinamika kelompok yang terapeutik perlu dievaluasi untuk meningkatkan efektivitas intervensi kelompok ini.
LVIV INTERPRETER MIKOŁAJ BAJDUŁOWICZ: BALANCING PIETY AND SELFLESSNESS AMID INTRIGUES, CORRUPTION SCANDALS, AND A SECRET UNION
Authors: ZAYATS Orest
Published: December 2024

The biography of Mikołaj Bajdułowicz, the most renowned municipal interpreter (tłumacz) of Lviv, presents a detailed examination of his life and career. This biography identifies the key milestones in Bajdułowicz’s career, including the approximate dates of his birth and death. Traditionally viewed as a pious and selfless city interpreter who diligently performed his duties, Bajdułowicz's idealized image is critically reassessed in this work.
Bajdułowicz gained fame for his religious devotion, particularly for his pilgrimage vows to the Holy Lands, signifying his attempts to lead a spiritually fulfilling life. However, records indicate that he either did not complete these pilgrimages or only partially fulfilled them. Instead, Bajdułowicz emerges as a cunning manipulator, deeply involved in various corrupt practices. He frequently violated customs regulations, engaged in corruption, extorted merchants, and even concealed criminal activities.
His professional life was marked by a notable rivalry with another prominent Lviv interpreter, Tomasz Abramowich (also known as Abrahamowicz). This conflict between two former friends adds a dramatic interpersonal dimension to Bajdułowicz's biography, highlighting the complex dynamics within the city's administration.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Bajdułowicz’s career was his formation of a clandestine society with his associates and assistants. This society functioned similarly to a quasi-guild, complete with a structured distribution of both official and unofficial income. Created under the auspices of the Armenian clergy, this secret union operated without the knowledge or consent of the Lviv city council. Eventually, the city council discovered and dismantled this covert organization.
Despite his numerous transgressions and lost court battles, Bajdułowicz maintained his position as an interpreter for several decades. His enduring influence is underscored by his appointment as a royal secretary, the receipt of an annual pension, and possibly even the acquisition of a noble title.

Keywords: Mikołaj Bajdułowicz, Tomasz Abramowich (Abrahamowicz), interpreter, pilgrimage, Armenians, secret union, corruption, city council, merchants.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF STATE-CONCILIAR IDEAS IN UKRAINIAN POLITICAL THOUGHT OF THE 20s AND 30s 20TH CENTURY
Authors: BOYKO Oleksandr
Published: December 2024

The article investigates the evolution of the sobornіst (state and national conciliarism) concept within the political thought of Ukraine during the 1920s and 1930s, examining its fundamental characteristics and features in relation to the historical and socio-cultural development of the time. It analyzes the state-building concepts formulated across various ideological currents. Ukrainian political thought in this period was shaped by the socio-psychological and geopolitical aftermath of the defeat in the liberation struggles of 1917–1921. Notably, this era was marked by the emergence of mutually exclusive trends, differing significantly in their methodological approaches and evaluative criteria for historical processes, as well as in their pursuit of alternative state-building models.
A crucial element of this discourse was the active involvement of participants in the Ukrainian revolution, who engaged in analyzing the causes of their defeats and errors in state-building, seeking to determine viable paths for future development. The study further explores the genre diversity of discourse surrounding state-building, ranging from newspaper articles to scholarly monographs, underscoring the intensity of intellectual debate and polemics within political and academic circles.
The formation of state-building concepts was deeply influenced by the subjectivity and biases of the authors, as well as by the dominance of external factors and political circumstances, which often overshadowed ideological principles. Concurrently, there was a progressive radicalization of political thought, reflecting the intensification of social and political contradictions. Despite the varying interpretations and assessments of the Ukrainian state-building process, the majority of political figures and scholars of the time identified the establishment of a unified Ukrainian state as the primary goal of the national movement, positioning it as a central tenet of their worldview and political agenda.
Keywords: conciliarism, political thought, Ukrainian statehood, idea, concept, politics, controversy, criteria, interwar period.
PRE-WORLD WAR I TOURNAMENT PRACTICES OF IGNATIUS VON POPEL, LVIV'S FIRST CHESS MASTER
Authors: KACHMAR Volodymyr , MELNYK Nazar
Published: December 2024

The article provides a detailed examination of the key chess tournament achievements of Lviv's first chess master, Ignatius von Popel, prior to the outbreak of the First World War. Ignatius von Popel was a prominent figure not only in local chess competitions but also on the international stage, where his exceptional skills enabled him to achieve significant success. His participation in both local and international tournaments consistently showcased his unparalleled chess talent. Throughout these competitions, von Popel continuously refined his abilities, taking on challenges from the era’s most formidable chess players.
A particularly noteworthy aspect of von Popel's tournament career was the exchange of chess knowledge. This played a crucial role in advancing the chess movement in Lviv, as many Lviv players lacked the opportunity to participate in such prestigious tournaments. However, competing against a player as experienced as von Popel provided them with the chance to experience the atmosphere of high-level chess. For young Lviv chess players at the beginning of their careers, playing against him was an invaluable opportunity to bridge the gap between amateur and professional levels, and many of them went on to become accomplished chess players in their own right.
Ignatius von Popel served as a role model for the younger generation of Lviv chess players. He not only displayed exceptional skill on the chessboard but also contributed significantly to the popularization of chess in the city. His talent and mastery inspired both novice and seasoned players alike, fostering the growth of chess culture in Lviv. Through his influence, chess gained considerable popularity, and his legacy endures as a testament to his tireless dedication to the game.
In the broader context of Lviv’s chess history, the study of von Popel’s tournament practice marks an important chapter. His contribution to the city’s chess culture cannot be overstated, as he was the first Lviv player to achieve international recognition. His participation in international tournaments, coupled with his unwavering commitment to the game, laid the groundwork for future generations of chess players aspiring to attain similar heights. Beyond being a chess master, von Popel was also a mentor to many, helping others to hone their skills and find their place in the chess world.
Keywords: Ignatius von Popel, chess, chess history of Lviv, international chess congresses, chess tournaments.
STRONNICTWO LUDOWE: PROBLEMS OF FORMING THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE PARTY IN THE GALICIAN COUNTIES OF WESTERN UKRAINE (1931–1935)
Authors: KALYNYAK Lev
Published: December 2024

The article examines the challenges associated with establishing the organizational network of the largest Polish political party in the region, the Stronnictwo Ludowe (hereafter referred to as SL). This party, which was founded in March 1931, opposed the existing government and primarily represented the interests of the Polish ethnic peasantry. Its formation followed a prolonged period of integration within the Polish peasant movement, beginning after the parliamentary elections of 1928. The key factors that drove this unification included the government’s neglect of the political interests of peasants, the economic crisis that commenced in 1929, and the unresolved issue of land reform in interwar Poland.
From 1931 to 1935, the SL faced significant challenges in its development, primarily through the unification of existing centers such as the Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe "Piast," Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe "Wyzwolenie," and Stronnictwo Chłopskie. The difficulties in forming a regional network were largely due to the declining activity of local centers of peasant political parties that had joined the SL, as well as the repressive actions of the Sanation regime, which sought to diminish the political influence of opposition parties. These developments hindered the swift establishment of SL’s regional centers, particularly in Western Ukraine.
In Galicia, the SL was unable to fully capitalize on its organizational potential, exerting limited influence on the local Polish peasantry compared to other regions of Poland. The party’s influence did not extend to areas like Volhynia and Polissia, due to several objective factors, including the dispersed Polish ethnic population, internal contradictions among the party leadership following unification, opposition to the influential Sanation camp, and the repressive tactics employed by Józef Piłsudski's regime against peasant movement leaders. Nonetheless, despite the unfavorable conditions, in certain counties within Galicia, supporters of the peasant movement succeeded in creating a developed SL network.
Alongside organizational measures, SL's regional centers engaged in substantial efforts to defend the political interests of the Polish peasantry. Between 1931 and 1935, these efforts were shaped by the party’s opposition to the government, particularly in resisting the regime’s attempts to curtail peasant rights in elections to Poland’s legislative bodies.
The party also placed considerable emphasis on addressing economic challenges, which were particularly pressing for the peasantry during the global economic crisis of the early 1930s. By advocating policies that aimed to protect the Polish peasantry, the SL leadership skillfully leveraged the deteriorating economic and political situation to enhance the party's influence further.
Keywords: Stronnictwo Ludowe, party, structure, peasants, Galicia.
UKRAINIAN BOOK PUBLISHING IN GALICIA DURING THE INTERWAR PERIOD: A PANORAMIC REVIEW
Authors: MOVNA Marianna
Published: December 2024

The article offers, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of the retrospective aspects of Ukrainian book publishing in Eastern Galicia, with a particular focus on the interwar period of the twentieth century. This analysis is based on a meticulously compiled register, which currently represents the most complete repository of information on publishing houses during this era. The register encompasses a wide array of publishing entities, including publishing concerns, organizations, cooperatives, unions, societies, private publishers, editors of newspapers and magazines, as well as bookstores and publishing series from 1914 to 1939. The study identifies the principal publishing centers and the foremost publishing organizations that were active in the region.
Through rigorous research, this study has clarified and expanded upon the factual data presented by previous scholars. The number of both publishing houses and their respective outputs has been substantially revised, with the new findings revealing that 286 publishing houses were active in the Eastern Galician book market between the two world wars. Furthermore, the article delves into the financial aspects of the publishing process, examining the economic conditions under which these entities operated. The thematic content of book production is analyzed in depth, highlighting how contemporary political trends were reflected in the literature of the time. Additionally, the study explores the artistic and aesthetic dimensions of book publishing in this period.
Regrettably, it was not possible to fully reconstruct the chronology and repertoire of all the publishing series included in the register, as many books, along with their authors, were subjected to repression. Despite these challenges, a separate thematic section of the register presents an extensive bibliography related to the Ukrainian publishing movement in Galicia from 1914 to 1939, comprising more than 400 entries.
The article also delves into the lives and professional activities of prominent publishers, offering detailed biographies of the most significant figures in the Ukrainian publishing movement. This biographical section enriches the broader analysis by providing personal insights into the individuals who shaped the cultural and intellectual landscape of Eastern Galicia during this pivotal historical period.
Keywords: book publishing, publishing centers, book productions, publishers, Eastern Galicia, interwar twentieth period.

Authors: O'Szabo Rebeka , Deritei David , Battiston Federico
Published: December 2024

Collective intelligence–-the ability of groups to solve diverse problems-–has been explored using laboratory experiments, computer simulations, and questionnaires. These instruments, however, suffer from limitations, such as external validity in the case of laboratory experiments and self-reporting bias in the case of questionnaires. Here we investigate the exploration-exploitation dynamics of small teams using high-frequency, observational data from escape rooms: a non-interventional yet controlled environment where naturally occurring teams solve connected sequences of exploration and exploitation tasks. We find that more effective teams tend to coordinate throughout problem-solving, exhibit balanced communication patterns, and maintain a dynamic alternation between exploration and exploitation tasks. In contrast, members of less effective teams often work in isolation, participate in problem-solving unequally, and lacking the capacity to exploit information efficiently. Moreover, we show that the effect of collaborative behavior depends on the task: exploitation benefits from team-wide communication and dominance of key members, while exploration requires balanced participation. Additionally, positive exchanges accelerate the compilation of exploitation tasks while negative communication decelerates them. These findings expand the external validity of experimental work on collective intelligence to an organic non-interventional setting and highlight the importance of understanding team performance through behavior instead of team demographics.
Making interview transcripts open: Preliminary results from a scoping review

Making research data open is recognised as improving both the quality of individual research outputs, and the effectiveness of the perpetuated ‘self-correcting’ goals of research overall. Many funders now mandate open data as a condition of their grants. This can be difficult for qualitative researchers, whose data poses different obstacles to the quantitative data that these policies seem to be aimed at. This pre-print represents the preliminary results of a scoping review into the practical steps that qualitative researchers can take towards opening their transcripts. From each included article, we extracted specific actions that a researcher could take to overcome an identified barrier. From these, we constructed eight themes: confidentiality, consent, misappropriation of data, context, copyright, IRB approval, researcher distress and time and money. We have presented the preliminary findings in the form of a table based ‘tool’, organised via these themes, which we used to develop our own data management plan.

Social learning is an important skill for adaptation, particularly in relation to rapidly changing environments for threatened species, and ultimately impacts on survival. Bali myna (Leucopsar Rothschildi) is a Critically Endangered species, endemic to Bali, Indonesia, and the focus of conservation initiatives, including reintroduction to the wild. This study tested social learning in 25 captive (adult and subadult) Bali myna. In four conditions, subjects observed a model (first bird to interact) interacting with various (natural & artificial) stimuli and then engaged in problem-solving (e.g. flip bark chips, remove lid from bottle-top) to obtain rewards in low or higher-risk contexts. We tested for: 1) social facilitation, i.e. influence of conspecific presence, and age; 2) enhancement, i.e. attending to same stimuli location or type as model; 3) individual contextual repeatability i.e. consistency. Social context and age affected interactions, where socially-housed birds and subadults solved tasks less frequently than singly-housed birds and adults. We found enhancement effects, i.e. observers attending to model behaviour. Individuals were consistent between conditions and, over a 2-year period, across social learning, and (from a previous study) innovation and neophobia abilities. These findings will prove valuable to optimising conservation efforts, such as pre-release training strategies.
Hybrid Finite Element and Material Point Method for Modeling Liquefaction-Induced Tailings Dam Failures
Authors: Sordo Brent , Rathje Ellen , Kumar Krishna
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a hybrid Finite Element Method (FEM) and Material Point Method (MPM) approach for modeling liquefaction-induced tailings dam failures from initiation through runout. We apply this method to simulate the 1978 Mochikoshi tailings dam failure, which occurred due to seismic loading and liquefaction during an earthquake. Our approach leverages FEM to capture the initial failure mechanism and MPM to simulate the subsequent runout, exploiting the strength of each method in their respective phases of the failure process. We investigate the impact of the FEM-to-MPM transfer time on runout results, identifying an optimal transfer window. This window begins when liquefaction reaches a critical depth to fully trigger the failure and ends before excessive mesh deformation occurs. Our findings demonstrate that the properties of the liquefied tailings significantly influence runout predictions. Notably, we achieve runout distances comparable to the case history only when incorporating additional strain-softening beyond the initial liquefaction-induced strength reduction. Our results demonstrate that the hybrid FEM-MPM method effectively models tailings dam failures associated with complex failure mechanisms and large runouts. This approach offers a promising tool for predicting the runout of seismic liquefaction-induced tailings dam failures, improving risk assessment and mitigation strategies in tailings dam management.
Fundamental Computational Problems and Algorithms for SuperHyperGraphs
Authors: Fujita Takaaki , Smarandache Florentin
Published: December 2024

Hypergraphs extend traditional graphs by allowing edges (known as hyperedges) to connect more than two vertices, rather than just pairs. This paper explores fundamental problems and algorithms in the context of SuperHypergraphs, an advanced extension of hypergraphs enabling modeling of hierarchical and complex relationships. Topics covered include constructing SuperHyperGraphs, recognizing SuperHyperTrees, and computing SuperHyperTree-width. We address a range of optimization problems, such as the SuperHy-pergraph Partition Problem, Reachability, Minimum Spanning SuperHypertree, and Single-Source Shortest Path. Furthermore, adaptations of classical problems like the Traveling Salesman Problem, Chinese Postman Problem, and Longest Simple Path Problem are presented in the SuperHypergraph framework.
And then there was light in the Ganzfeld: Clarifying the methods, experiences, and modulating factors
Authors: Pistolas Eleftheria , Wagemans Johan
Published: December 2024

A Ganzfeld is a homogeneous, unstructured visual field that is known to induce visual hallucinations. Aside from visual percepts emerging in participants’ awareness, Ganzfeld viewing is characterized by decays of color and brightness. The studies dedicated to this topic from the 20th century have focused on these decays, although they have been reported in a confusing way, with different terms for these decaying experiences. This paper synthesizes the current state of the Ganzfeld literature going back to the 1930s with the purpose of clarifying the terminology of the phenomena that have largely retained their mysterious aspects. We built a Ganzfeld space to study the phenomenology without the restricted feeling of a confined space that translucent Ganzfeld goggles cause. Employing a multi-method approach, we combined quantitative and qualitative measures to grasp the number, kind and temporal dynamics of the experienced phenomena as well as their experiential characteristics better. We offer more insight into the different kinds of visual percepts that emerge in participants’ awareness, induced by the Ganzfeld, and we identified three distinct types of decays of color and brightness. We termed these “fade-out”, “black-out” and “blank-out”, and present both the prevalence as well as the qualitative characteristics of these decays. Finally, we shed some light onto the role of eye movements and blinks on the experienced phenomena. All of this is important groundwork to be able to study the dynamics of different Ganzfeld experiences, in relation to different states of consciousness and their neural correlates in future work.
Idiographic Momentary Profiles of Personality Facets
Authors: Lee Colin , Beck Emorie
Published: December 2024

Personality psychology has long focused on between-person differences, often neglecting the dynamic, idiographic nature of personality as it unfolds over time. This study introduces idiographic momentary profiles—person-specific clusters of personality states—estimated using Gaussian finite mixture modeling. Drawing on experience sampling data from two independent undergraduate samples (N = 245; 15,833 total surveys), we demonstrate that individuals exhibit unique, multivariate personality state patterns that vary across time and situations. Findings reveal that (a) most individuals express multiple distinct profiles, (b) profile heterogeneity reflects both level and pattern differences, and (c) contemporaneous situational characteristics (i.e., DIAMONDS taxonomy) predict momentary profile expression. These results challenge static trait and typological approaches by highlighting the complexity and contextuality of personality dynamics. Our findings underscore the value of idiographic methods in advancing personality theory and measurement, offering a foundation for capturing the full scope of personality variability in daily life.Keywords: idiographic, personality dynamics, momentary profiles, situation characteristics
