Robotic vs. TaTME Rectal Surgery (ROTA STUDY) Matched Cohort Trial for Mid to Low Rectal Cancer Surgery Evaluation Trial in the Hands of an Experienced Surgeon
Authors: Jootun Ravish , Cuk Pedja , Ellebæk Mark , Andersen Per Vadgaard , Salomon Søren , Baatrup Gunnar , Al-Najami Issam , Khan Jim
Published: February 2022

Background:

Recent novel surgical techniques for resection of low rectal cancer have been introduced and these approaches have the potential to overcome anatomical limitations like obesity, narrow male pelvis and bulky and low tumours. Two of these procedures are robotic low anterior resection (RLAR) and transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME).

Both approaches have distinct advantages and limitations. There has been no head to head trial comparing RLAR and TaTME for patients with mid to low rectal cancer undergoing surgery by experienced surgeons. Previous studies looking at the oncological outcomes of either TaTME or robotic TME included many centres where the surgeons were on a learning curve and hence the true oncological outcomes and clinical benefits can not be measured accurately.

Method:

The inclusion criteria include experienced surgeons defined as minimum of 60 prior procedures with RLAR or TaTME. Successful oncological and clinical outcomes are defined as circumferential resection margin (CRM) ≥1 mm with limited postoperative morbidity (absence of Clavien-Dindo grade III–IV complications within 30 days after surgery). Local and distal recurrence rates with DFS over 3 years will be measured as primary outcome.

Data will be collected prospectively and entered in a dedicated database.

Discussion:

The primary objective of this study is to conduct a multicentre prospective trial to investigate clinical outcomes, in particular disease free survival (DFS) in patients undergoing RLAR and TaTME. The additional goal is to investigate other efficacy measures, complications rates, health economic aspects and patient reported health related quality of life.

This paper describes an important trial conducted in expert centres to establish the needed knowledge for a detailed comparison of outcomes for TaTME versus RLAR.

This trial is the first comparative study, comparing TaTME and RLAR, seeking to establish foothold for tailor-made surgical treatment of low rectal cancer patients.

Trial registration:

The trial is registered in clinicaltrials.gov September 2019. Clinicaltrials.gov id: NCT04200027.
Effectiveness of Control of Deep Agricultural Soil on Enrollment Perspective
Authors: Halim Hasmawati
Published: February 2022

The objectives of this study were to: 1) Know why control over control of agricultural land has not been effective, 2) to know how to control of agricultural land through land registration. The data used in this study are primary data and secondary data that can support the assessment, which is then analyzed using qualitative methods with descriptive purposes. Based on the results of data analysis, it is concluded that: 1) Control of control over agricultural land in the perspective of land registration is less effective, this is due to conflicts of interest between the government, economic demands and a lack of understanding by the community that the importance of agricultural land for food security, which results in many agricultural lands being converted to non-agricultural land. In this case, BPN/ATR could not do much because of the constraints on land conversion permits issued by the local government. 2) Dominant factors causing Government Regulation Number. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration from a juridical perspective that there is no regulation regarding sanctions if land owners do not register their land. So that government supervision through BPN/ATR in the context of controlling control of agricultural land becomes less effective.

Nationalism in Secondary Schools: How Do Students Understand and Conceptualize It?
Authors:   Nevsehir Haci Bektas Veli University, Turkey, Çiftçi Barış , Yücel Ahmet Galip , Durmaz Ahmet
Published: February 2022

One of the aims of educational institutions in Turkey is to adopt an understanding of nationalism based on Atatürk's views by students. Atatürk's understanding of nationalism was founded on the unity of culture. It rejects racism. It emphasizes cultural unity rather than blood ties or religious unity. However, various forms of nationalism in Turkey can find supporters. For this reason, it is important to examine how secondary school students understand nationalism and with which concepts they explain it. Qualitative research method was used in this research, which aims to examine how students conceptualize and understand nationalism. Since it is important for the students to express themselves naturally, they were asked to write an essay on nationalism. Student writings were analyzed by content analysis. According to the results obtained within the scope of the study, the students mostly used the expressions "to love homeland and nation" and "to protect homeland and nation" when explaining the concept of nationalism. As the age and grade levels of the students increase, the number of concepts related to nationalism used by students increases. Nationalism is understood differently by male and female students. While female students emphasize the concepts of love and work, male students emphasize the concepts of protecting and independence. Considering the place where the students live, the meaning attributed to the concept of nationalism varies. While the students living in the city center used the concept of love more, the students living in the town focused on the concept of protecting. The most important finding obtained within the scope of the study is that the participants did not base their nationalism on blood ties or religious unity. Students did not use non-inclusive expressions while describing nationalism. For this reason, it was understood that the participants had thoughts compatible with Atatürk's understanding of nationalism.

Authors:   Politeknik Negeri Padang, Indonesia, Sariani Sariani , Yaningsih Yaningsih , Rozi Fazrol
Published: February 2022

Several empirical studies of Content-Based Instruction (CBI) have concluded that this approach has positive impacts in improving language learning skills including writing in foreign language learning environments. However, many of them carried out this approach within the traditional setting; face-to-face interaction instead of the e-learning. This current study is aimed to examine the impact of CBI on EFL learner’s writing through technology-enhanced language teaching. The approach was implemented in students who wrote e-brochure for the final project. It was a qualitative study where the data was obtained from assessing the writing documents using e-brochure scoring rubrics. The rubrics focused on functional adequacy containing of five dimensions: (1) organization of information, (2) content-accuracy and information validity, (3) spelling and mechanics, (4) attractiveness and organization, and (5) graphics/ pictures. Semi-structured interview was taken as the supporting data. The findings showed that CBI was beneficial on the EFL’s writing in advancing the writing skill, increasing the creativity in designing the brochure, and enhancing the interaction with the lecturer through the use of technology. For further research, teachers are invited to engage the students with specific CBI activities in diversified contexts.
Improv Theater and Whiteness in Education: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Tanner Samuel J. , McCloskey Andrea
Published: February 2022

Improv theater has expanded beyond a popular American form of entertainment into an educational experience for students and teachers. It may be difficult to imagine that an interactive, joyful, and collaborative improv workshop might be harmful, but our own experiences as professional improvisers led us to observe that even well-intentioned, antiracist improv theater interventions tend to reflect Whiteness more than democratic values. We investigate this observation through a systematic review of education research articles. Our review of 30 studies reveals that, to varying degrees, researchers have regarded improvisation as an instrumental practice to improve some other activity or as metaphor for the activity of teaching. We found that Whiteness has been central to the use of improvisation in educational contexts. Finally, this study illustrates that a turn toward disciplined improvisation or an improvisational ethos offers one way to practice the ideals of democratic education.
Traditional Games as Fun Media in Strengthening Multiple Intelligences During Learning at Home in the Corona Pandemic
Authors: Syafril Elsa Putri Ermisah
Published: February 2022

The corona pandemic is not over yet. Currently, Indonesia is implementing social activity restrictions in several areas since last July 2021. It causes everyone just stay at home and do the activities from home, including the learning process. Of course, it causes every student feels bored and become stress because basically, the students in childhood need social interaction and excitement, like playing. Actually, there are many Indonesian traditional games that can be played at home with the family. However, based on data, there are about 40% of Indonesian traditional games have become extinct and about 65% of Indonesian children are no longer familiar with traditional games. Therefore, this study aims to: 1) explain the conditions of learning at home during the pandemic; 2) explain the application of traditional games can stimulate learning and social interaction activities at home; 3) explain the existence of traditional games as fun learning media for strengthening personal character as well as increasing multiple intelligences. A qualitative design is used in this study. Then, a critical paradigm to find new concept from local knowledge with indigenous ethnography approach is also used in this study. The data is collected by the techniques of observation (some using students’ video from other places while playing traditional games), interviews, documentation, and the study of documents. Moreover, some students from several places in Indonesia become informants of this research (25 students from elementary school and junior high school). Meanwhile, the collected data are analyzed using the interactive model analysis by Miles and Huberman (focus on descriptive, emotion, and values coding). The results of this study are: (1) the condition of learning process at home during pandemic experienced many obstacles that make students bored and stressed; (2) the application of traditional games can stimulate learning and social interaction activities at home; and (3) the existence of traditional games as fun learning media for strengthening personal character as well as increasing multiple intelligences.

Seiring berkembangnya zaman, dari waktu ke waktu banyak yang sudah berubah dari diri manusia. Banyak sekali perbedaan yang tercipta di masing masing generasi yang ada. Tidak dapat dipungkiri, hal ini terjadi akibat dari adanya kemajuan di dunia informasi dan teknologi yang semakin pesat berkembang. Generasi yang kelak menjadi cikal bakal penerus bangsa yang saat ini tepat berada di bangku sekolah dasar atau yang biasa lebih dikenal dengan generasi alpha turut mendapatkan imbasnya. Sebagian besar dari mereka lebih tertarik dengan dunia gadgetnya dibandingkan dengan kehidupan nyata yang ada. Tentunya hal ini akan berimbas kepada banyaknya kearifan lokal yang tidak bisa terus dilestarikan. Karena tidak adanya ketertarikan generasi penerus yang ada, tentunya hal ini akan berdampak buruk seiring berjalannya waktu kebudayaan tersebut akan hilang ditelan oleh zaman. Maka dari itu, adanya penelitian ini nantinya akan berusaha mengenalkan budaya/kearifan lokal khusunya di kabupaten Jombang kepada anak-anak sekolah dasar melalui mata pelajaran IPA yang berintegrasi kepada kurikulum 2013. Dengan adanya hal tersebut, diharapkan para peserta didik akan lebih mengenal dan memiliki daya tarik untuk terus berusaha melestarikan kebudayaan warisan kakek neneknya di zaman dahulu.

Causality and Advanced Models in Trip Mode Prediction: Interest in Choosing Swissmetro
Authors: Pham Huy , Jiang Xuan , Zhang Cong
Published: February 2022

In March 1998, a survey was conducted on trains running in Switzerland in order to gauge the public interest in utilizing a new mag-lev train system operated by Swissmetro. The survey results are often used as data in order to facilitate trip mode prediction models. In order to explore the double descent hypothesis, which posits that overparameterization of models helps generalization rather than harming it, a multinomial logit model with regu- larization is compared against neural-network models that overparameterized in this study. We finally achieved 67% accuracy on the neural-network compared with the 44% accuracy of the multinomial logit model. The models are tested against a common testing model, and the accuracy performance of the models are examined. Additionally, to further investi- gate the choice of parameters commonly used in prediction models, several causal inference studies are carried out to adjust the effect of the survey location (as a proxy for existing mode choice) and travelers’ high-income status against possible confounders. Ultimately, causal inference further strengthened the variables survey location and traveler income as effective predictors in models, especially when treated for causal variables.
Prolonged Contact Does Not Reshape Locals’ Attitudes toward Migrants in Wartime Settings
Authors: Zhou Yang-Yang , Lyall Jason
Published: February 2022

Despite record numbers of internally displaced persons (IDPs) globally, we know little about the causal effects of intergroup contact between migrants and locals in active conflict settings. We conduct a randomized controlled trial of a vocational skills-training program conducted by Mercy Corps that enrolled 2,597 locals and migrants in near equal numbers in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where IDPs face daily prejudice and discrimination. Courses lasting up to six months emphasized collaborative learning and soft skills development. We surveyed participants at endline and followed up eight months later. While the program provided the most sustained duration of intergroup contact (360–720 hours) experimentally evaluated to date, we find no evidence of reported behavioral or attitudinal change by locals (N=1,276) toward migrants generally, regardless of classroom demographics or course duration. Our findings suggest that prolonged contact through vocational training programs is insufficient to improve relations in conflict settings.
The Credibility of Party Policy Rhetoric: Survey Experimental Evidence
Authors: Fernandez-Vazquez Pablo
Published: February 2022

This paper analyzes how a party’s policy statements affect voters’ perceptions of where the party stands on a given issue. I argue that voters do not take a party’s statements at face value because these messages can be a strategic tool to win elections. Voters discount popular statements because they may respond to vote-seeking incentives rather than reflect the party’s sincere views. Espousing unpopular policies has less instrumental value in obtaining more votes and therefore is more credible. I have tested this argument with a survey experiment fielded in the United Kingdom that exposes respondents to Conservative and Labour Party statements on immigration and the National Health Service. I report evidence that popular statements tend to have a weaker effect on voter perceptions than unpopular ones. This finding suggests a paradox: the more a party needs to change its reputation in order to gain votes, the stronger the voters’ skepticism.

It was concluded that the curriculum literacy of the teachers, the other dimension of this research, is at a high level. In other words, it was concluded that the teachers had a high level of program literacy. Program literacy of teachers; While there is no significant difference according to gender and graduated higher education institutions; differed significantly according to the educational institutions they worked in. It has been revealed that there is a positive, positive and moderate colleration between teachers' self-efficacy perceptions and their curriculum literacy.
The Scarring Effect of “Women’s Work”: The Determinants of Women’s Attrition from Male-dominated Occupations
Authors: Torre Margarita
Published: February 2022

Women's entry into formerly male-dominated occupations has increased in recent decades, yet a significant outflow remains. This study examines the determinants of women's exits from male-dominated occupations, focusing on the effect of previous occupational trajectories. In particular, it hypothesizes that occupational trajectories in female-dominated occupations are often imbued with meanings and beliefs about the (in)appropriateness of the worker, which adversely affect women's integration and chances when they enter the male sector. Using the NLSY79 data set, the study analyzes the job histories of women employed in the United States between 1979 and 2006. The results reveal a disproportionate risk of exit among newcomers from female-dominated occupations. Also, women who reenter the male field are more likely to leave it again. Altogether, the findings challenge explanations based on deficiencies in the information available to women at the moment of hiring. The evidence points to the existence of a “scar effect” of previous work in the female field, which hinders women's opportunities in the male sector and ends up increasing the likelihood of exit.
A one-million-year isotope record from siderites formed in modern ferruginous sediments

Ancient iron formations hold important records of environmental conditions during the Precambrian Eons. Reconstructions of past oceanic systems require investigating modern ferruginous analogs to disentangle water column and diagenetic signals recorded in iron-bearing minerals. We analyzed oxygen, iron, and carbon isotopes in siderite, a ferrous carbonate phase commonly used as an environmental proxy, from a 100-m-long record spanning a one-million-year depositional history in ferruginous Lake Towuti, Indonesia. Combining bulk sediment and pore water geochemistry, we traced processes controlling siderite isotope signatures. We show that siderite oxygen isotope compositions (δ18O) reflect in-lake hydrological and depositional conditions. Low iron isotope values (δ56Fe) record water column oxygenation events over geological timescales, with minor diagenetic partitioning of Fe isotopes by microbial iron reduction after deposition. The carbon isotope compositions (δ13C) reflect incorporation of biogenic HCO3- consistent with sediment organic matter remineralization lasting over ~200 ka years after burial. Positive δ13C excursions indicate increased biogenic production of methane that escaped the sediment during low lake levels. Diffusion across the sediment-water interface during initial formations of siderite tends to align the isotope signatures of bottom waters to those of pore waters. As microbial reduction of ferric iron and oxidation of organic matter proceed and saturate pore water conditions with respect to siderite, overgrowth on nuclei partially mutes the environmental signal inherited from past bottom waters over ~1 Ma. Because high depositional fluxes of ferric iron and organic matter in early oceans would have promoted similar microbial processes in ferruginous deposits prior to lithification, the environmental record contained in siderite grains can successively integrate depositional and early diagenetic signals over short geological timescales.
Iranian Emotional Face Database: Acquisition and Validation of a Stimulus Set of Basic Facial Expressions
Authors: Heydari Faeze , Sheybani Saber , Yoonessi Ali
Published: February 2022

Facial expressions play an essential role in social interactions. Databases of face images have furnished theories of emotion perception, as well as having applications in other disciplines such as facial recognition technology. However, the faces of many ethnicities remain largely underrepresented in the existing face databases, which can impact the generalizability of the theories and technologies developed based on them. Here, we present the first survey-validated database of Iranian faces. It consists of 248 images from 40 Iranian individuals portraying six motional expressions – anger, sadness, fear, disgust, happiness, and surprise – as well as the neutral state. The photos were taken in a studio setting, following the common scenarios of emotion induction, and controlling for conditions of lighting, camera set up, and model's head posture. An evaluation survey confirmed a high agreement between the models’ intended expressions and the raters’ perception of them. The database is freely available online for academic research purposes.

powe(R)OC: A power simulation tool for eyewitness lineup ROC analyses
Authors: Mah Eric
Published: February 2022

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses have become increasingly common in eyewitness lineup experiments, yet statistical power for these analyses is not well-understood. powe(R)OC is a free, open-source R Shiny web app that allows users with minimal programming and statistical knowledge to conduct simulation-based power analyses for two-condition (e.g., simultaneous vs. sequential lineups) eyewitness lineup experiments (and certain other recognition memory experiments) that use ROC analysis. powe(R)OC uses existing data (either user-uploaded or publicly-available open data) as a basis for simulation, allows powering for analyses of partial area under the curve (pAUC) and deviation from perfect performance (Smith et al., 2019), allows users to specify various simulation parameters (e.g., effect sizes, sample sizes, number of lineups, pAUC truncation, test tails), view simulation results uploaded by other users, view ROC effect sizes in the literature, and download simulation results in a summary report. This report describes ROC analyses, challenges in simulating ROC data, methods implemented in powe(R)OC and their underlying assumptions and limitations, and possible future directions.

Purpose. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health concerns among college students. At the same time, pandemic response measures have made it more challenging for many students to access mental health support. However, little is known about the extent of mental health support loss among college students, or which students have lost support. This study investigated the scope of mental health support loss during the COVID-19 pandemic in a large university sample, as well as the factors associated with loss of support. Methods. Students completed an online questionnaire between March and May of 2020. Researchers examined the extent of mental health support loss in this sample and how support loss differed by a variety of demographic and mental health symptom variables. Methods were pre-registered at https://osf.io/m83hz. Results. Of n = 415 respondents, 62% reported loss of mental health support. Loss of support was associated with more severe depression symptoms (p < .001), more severe anxiety symptoms (p < .001), the presence of suicidal ideation (p < .001), and sexual minority identity (p = .017). Conclusions. Colleges and universities should be aware that many students have lost access to mental health support during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that students with more severe mental health symptoms, as well as sexual minority students, may be particularly vulnerable. Colleges and universities should make efforts to connect these students with sources of mental health support.

Exploring Unique App Signature of the Depressed and Non-depressed Through Their Fingerprints on Apps
Authors: Ahmed Md. Sabbir , Ahmed Nova
Published: February 2022

Growing research on re-identification through app usage behavior reveals the privacy threat in having smartphone usage data to third parties. However, re-identifiability of a vulnerable group like the depressed is unexplored. We fill this knowledge gap through an in the wild study on 100 students’ PHQ-9 scale’s data and 7 days’ logged app usage data. We quantify the uniqueness and re-identifiability through exploration of minimum hamming distance in terms of the set of used apps. Our findings show that using app usage data, each of the depressed and non-depressed students is re-identifiable. In fact, using only 7 hours’ data of a week, on average, 91% of the depressed and 88% of the non-depressed are re-identifiable. Moreover, data of a single app category (i.e., Tools) can also be used to re-identify each depressed student. Furthermore, we find that the rate of uniqueness among the depressed students is significantly higher in some app categories. For instance, in the Social Media category, the rate of uniqueness is 9% higher (P=.02, Cohen's d=1.31) and in the Health & Fitness category, this rate is 8% higher (P=.005, Cohen’s d=1.47) than the non-depressed group. Our findings suggest that each of the depressed students has a unique app signature which makes them re-identifiable. Therefore, during the design of the privacy protecting systems, designers need to consider the uniqueness of them to ensure better privacy for this vulnerable group.

Background: Maternal depression influences offspring mental health. Yet little is understood about how the duration and timing of maternal depression shapes youth risk for depressive symptoms, which if understood could inform when best to intervene. Consequently, this study aimed to determine how the timing and duration of maternal depression was related to offspring depression in late adolescence, and variations by sex.Methods: We used data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (a prenatal cohort in the Avon area of England, 1991-2003), n=3,301. We applied a structured lifecourse modelling approach to maternal depression (assessed at thirteen points from prenatal period to adolescence) and late adolescent depressive symptoms (age 21). Lifecourse models assessed were accumulation (sum of timepoints when maternal depression was reported), sensitive periods (each period assessed as one during which maternal depression has a stronger effect) and instability (frequent fluctuations in maternal depression).Results: Female adolescents (n=2,132) had higher SMFQ scores (mean=6.15, SD=5.90) than males (n=1,169, mean=4.87, SD=4.82). Maternal depression was most common in the prenatal period (21.1% males; 22.2% females). For males, accumulation was the most appropriate model; for each additional period of maternal depression, depressive symptoms in late adolescence increased by 0.11 (95% CI: 0.07,0.15, 1-sided p value≤0.001). For females, exposure to maternal depression was associated with increasing depressive symptoms in late adolescence, with the largest effect in mid-childhood (increase of 0.27 units, 95% CI 0.03-0.50, p=0.015 for difference between mid-childhood and other time-periods) and a smaller, equal effect at all other time-periods (increase of 0.07 units per time-period, 95% CI: 0.03-0.12, p=0.002).Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of ongoing maternal depression for the development of depression in offspring through to late adolescence. Because long-term exposure to maternal depression was particularly important, early interventions are warranted.
Coping Strategies and Brain Activity in Table Tennis Players Faced with Discrepancies between Predicted and Actual Outcomes

Prior studies have shown that athletes possess an excellent ability for action an-ticipation. However, it is not clear how athletes manage to regulate their behaviors when predicted outcomes deviate from actual outcomes. Based on Bayes theory and the predicted response outcome (PRO) model, the current study explored this ques-tion using novice and expert table tennis players. Discrepancies between predicted outcomes and actual outcomes were varied into seven conditions. We first examined the differences between experts and novices in a congruence discrimination task and confirmed that experts were better than novices at identifying discrepancies. Subse-quently, EEG technology was used to further explore the specific behavior and neural activity in experts during discrepancy processing. Reaction time and theta oscilla-tions gradually increased as the size of discrepancy between the predicted and the actual outcomes increased. These results suggest that experience promotes the mon-itoring of discrepancies between predicted and actual outcomes in athletes leading to flexibility in coping with varying degrees discrepancy.
A Continuous Measure of Object-Based Attention Sheds New Light on Its Underlying Mechanisms

Attention is largely guided by objects; when attending to a location on an object, observers react faster to targets appearing in other locations within the object than outside the object. While crucial to our understanding of attention, the mechanisms underlying object-based attention remain a topic of debate. Moreover, the behavioral effects of object-based attention are often small and inconsistent, posing challenges for obtaining unequivocal evidence about its mechanisms. To address these challenges, we employ a continuous, response-free measure of object-based attention that utilizes attentional modulation of the pupillary light response (PLR). This method enables continuous tracking of attention across space while avoiding potential inconsistencies introduced by behavioral responses. In each trial, a cue appeared inside or outside a black or white object, followed by a target in the same location as the cue or in a different location. Across four experiments, attentional modulations of the PLR were consistently stronger when attention shifted from a location outside the object to inside it (cue outside, target inside) than in the reverse scenario (cue inside, target outside). This finding reveals a critical difference in the dynamics of attentional shifts involving objects, suggesting that spatial reallocation of attention is more effective when disengagement from an object is not required. These results align with the shifting account of object-based attention, which underscores the higher cost of shifting attention between objects than within an object.
