A Fine-Tooth Comb for Measurement Reliability: Predicting True Score and Error Variance in Hierarchical Models
Authors: Williams Donald Ray , Martin Stephen Ross , DeBolt Michaela C , Oakes Lisa M , Rast Philippe
Published: November 2020

The primary objective of this work is to extend classical test theory (CTT), in particular, forthe case of repeated measurement studies. The guiding idea that motivates this work is that anytheory ought to be expanded when it is not compatible with commonly observed phenomena-namely, that homogeneous variance components appear to be the exception and not the rule inpsychological applications. Additionally, advancements in methodology should also be consideredin light of theory expansion, when appropriate. We argue both goals can be accomplishedby merging heterogeneous variance modeling with the central tenants of CTT. To this end, weintroduce novel methodology that is based on the mixed-effects location scale model. This allows for fitting explanatory models to the true score (between-group) and error (within-group)variance. Two illustrative examples, that span from educational research to infant cognition,highlight such possibilities. The results revealed that there can be substantial individual differences in error variance, which necessarily implies the same for reliability, and that true scorevariance can be a function of covariates. We incorporate this variance heterogeneity into novel reliability indices that can be used to forecast group or person-specific reliability. These extend traditional formulations that assume the variance components are homogeneous. This powerful approach can be used to identify predictors of true score and error variance, which can then be used to refine measurement. The methods are implemented in the user-friendly R packageICCier.
The dark authoritarians: Profiling the personality, emotional style, and authoritarian attitudes of the major American parties
Authors: Bird Ryan , Hickey Hayden K. , Leavitt Mackenzie J , Robinson Jennifer L.
Published: November 2020

Many are concerned that authoritarianism is increasing across the political spectrum. In the current study, we investigated the extent to which dark personality variables (i.e., psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism) predict both right- and left-wing authoritarianism (RWA and LWA) between Republicans and Democrats. We developed profiles of individuals' political and personality characteristics concomitant with endorsement of authoritarianism. Our findings (n = 527) suggest a complex interaction between dark traits and political views. Using latent profile analysis, we uncovered underlying profiles characterizing distinct groups of individuals across party identification, LWA, RWA, and dark traits. Four latent profiles emerged: (1) a typical Democrat, low in dark traits and higher in LWA; (2) a typical Republican, low in dark traits and higher in RWA; (3) a dark Democrat, high in dark traits and high in both RWA and LWA; (4) a dark Republican, high in dark traits and high in both RWA and LWA. Together, these data suggest that authoritarianism manifests differentially across the political spectrum and is influenced by emotional style.

Published: November 2020

BackgroundLongitudinal studies examining the temporal association between mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 outbreak are needed. It is important to determine how relationships between mental health outcomes, specifically loneliness and depressive symptoms, manifest over a brief timeframe and in a pandemic context.Method Data was gathered over 4 months (March – June 2020) using an online survey with three repeated measures at monthly intervals (N = 1958; 69.8% females; Age 18-87 years, M = 37.01, SD = 12.81). Associations between loneliness, depression symptoms, and emotion regulation difficulty were tested using Pearson’s product moment correlations, and descriptive statistics were calculated for all study variables. Cross-lagged structural equation modelling was used to examine the temporal relationships between variables. Results The longitudinal association between loneliness and depressive symptoms was reciprocal. Loneliness predicted higher depressive symptoms one month later, and depressive symptoms predicted higher loneliness one month later. The relationship was not mediated by emotion regulation difficulties. Emotion regulation difficulties and depressive symptoms were also reciprocally related over time.Limitations Limitations include the reliance on self-report data and the non-representative sample. There was no pre-pandemic assessment limiting the conclusions that can be drawn regarding the mental health impact of the COVID-19 crisis.ConclusionsLoneliness should be considered an important feature of case conceptualisation for depression during this time. Clinical efforts to improve mental health during the pandemic could focus on interventions that target either loneliness, depression, or both. Potential approaches include increasing physical activity or low-intensity cognitive therapies delivered remotely.
Faith Development as Change in Religious Types: Results from Three-wave Longitudinal Data with Faith Development Interviews
Authors: Streib Heinz , Chen Zhuo Job , Hood Ralph
Published: November 2020

Faith, as a way of how people understand God and the world and make or discover meaning in their life, is characterized by individual differences and changes over the lifetime. Our research investigates these changes over the lifespan in terms of hierarchically ordered types that are the elements in our developmental model, which is a critical advancement and modification of Fowler’s theory of faith development. This study is the first to investigate whether there is development in faith over the adult lifespan and to identify predictors of developmental change. Our mixed-method design used three-wave longitudinal data (mean lag time 10.47 years from Wave 1 to Wave 3). A sample of N = 75 participants were interviewed with the faith development interview three times and each time answered comprehensive questionnaires. Results evidenced faith development over the lifespan: a majority in our data moved to a higher type, while change to a lower type did occur. Openness to experience and the religious schema truth of text and teachings were potential antecedents for faith development.
Exploring the political pulse of a country using data science tools
Authors: Folgado Miguel , Sanz Veronica
Published: November 2020

In this paper we illustrate the use of Data Science techniques to analyse complex human communication. In particular, we consider tweets from leaders of political parties as a dynamical proxy to political programmes and ideas. We also study the temporal evolution of their contents as a reaction to specific events. We analyse levels of positive and negative sentiment in the tweets using new tools adapted to social media. We also train an Artificial Intelligence to recognise the political affiliation of a tweet. The AI is able to predict the origin of the tweet with a precision in the range of 71-75%, and the political leaning (left or right) with a precision of around 90%. This study is meant to be viewed as a proof-of-concept of interdisciplinary nature, at the interface between Data Science and political analysis.

Published: November 2020

The community structure of avifauna along the urbanization gradient in Mintal, Davao Citywas surveyed and analyzed. A total of 4,210 individuals from 34 species belonging to 23 fam-ilies were recorded. Seven species are Philippine endemics and five are introduced species.Correlation and regression analysis showed a positive relationship between increasing vegeta-tion cover with species richness and a negative relationship with abundance. Oppositely, in-creasing urbanization (increase built-up cover, pedestrian and traffic rate) were observed tohave positive relationship to abundance but negative relationship to species richness. Thus, the avian community in the urbanization gradient of Mintal, Davao City follows the general ac-cepted trend that in heavily disturbed areas, species richness is at its lowest while total birdabundance is at its peak. This study also suggests the importance of green spaces with lessertraffic rate in urban landscapes that could support higher avian diversity which includes Philip-pine endemic species.

We present the entomological results of a geological and biological exploration in the Lutdesert, performed in 2014 by the Iranian National Institute for Oceanography and AtmosphericSciences (INIOAS) and the University of Tehran. Five localities were sampled, including theone considered as the the hottest spot on Earth. They yielded 15 insect taxa belonging to Blat-todea, Orthoptera, Coleoptera, Heteroptera, suggesting that in spite of being originally de-scribed as “abiotic” or “aphytic”, the Lut desert shelters a diverse insect fauna with someremarkable elements such as the endemic desert cockroache Leiopteroblatta monodi. Compar-ison with results obtained by Franco-Iranian expeditions in the sixties and seventies revealsseveral taxa in common, but also striking differences in the composition of the insect assem-blages, suggesting that the insect fauna in the Lut desert is potentially much more diverse thanpreviously expected.
A new species of genus Psalidodon Eigenmann, 1911relatedto the P. paranae complex (Characiformes Characidae) fromUpper Paranaíba river basin, Brazil, supported by genetic andmorphometric data

Published: November 2020

The genus Psalidodon Eigenmann, 1911 (Characiformes Characidae) is a fish group with great diversity, expressed at the chromosomal, genetic and taxonomic level. The genus is markedby events of allopatric and vicariant evolution, by the formation of complexes of species andby wide geographical distribution. Both in these fish and other organisms, the association ofstudies with molecular markers and geometric morphometric techniques are useful in delimitingsignificantly evolutionary units (ESU). In this work, we performed maximum likelihood esti-mates (MLE) from mitochondrial Cyt b gene sequences and canonical variables (CVA) from13 landmarks in eight populations of P. aff. paranae Eigenmann, 1914. The analysis of Max-imum likelihood resulted in the structuring of populations in two different clades, one of whichwas composed only of individuals from a small population inhabiting a stream with approxi-mately two km of length, demonstrating their clear distinction from the other populations. Theanalysis of canonical variation demonstrated the complete structuring of this population, andthe position of each clade in the morpho-space was congruent with the topography observedin the MLE. Based on the results found, the existence of a new endemic species of the genusPsalidodon is evident.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Malaysia. The prevalence of hypertension nearly doubled over a ten-year period (1986 – 1996). This has resulted in a significant rise in its attendant cost. We aim to review the institutional anti-hypertensive use, the cost incurred and the implications on management in our local setting. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of the annual cost (2006) of anti-hypertensive medications was undertaken at the Department of Pharmacy, Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, a 600-bed major regional hospital on the east-coast of Malaysia. The total number of prescriptions given out and the total cost per drug is then factored to give the annual cost per drug per person in a percentage of the total annual expenditure.Results: The majority of patients were on either 2 (46.5%) or 3 (25.9%) anti-hypertensives. The most frequently prescribed medications were ACE Inhibitors (33.45%), Calcium channel blockers (29.63%), diuretics (16.67%) and β-blockers (13.64%). In terms of cost however, the Calcium channel blockers constituted the greatest percentage of the annual anti-hypertensive budget (63.67%) compared to ACE Inhibitors at just 20.04% of the annual expenditure. The least costly group of drugs is the diuretic making up 16.67% of the total annual prescriptions but only constituting 1.23% of the annual cost. Conclusion: The majority of patients were on ACE Inhibitors and/or Calcium channel blockers. This has huge monetary implications as they represent a large proportion of the annual antihypertensive allocation. There may be a need to reverse the trend in the developing world due to cost restrictions.
Interpretation of the Establishment of Israel as a State According to the Barakah Circle Theory of Bayt Al-Maqdis
Authors: CENGİZ Mehmet Şirin
Published: November 2020

Bayt al-Maqdis has witnessed the birth of three Abrahamic religions. The city is also unique for long being the place in which members of these religions have lived together as neighbours. However, it has always been a targeted territory in which Western powers desired power and domination over the region. The Crusaders’ period (1098-1187) and the ongoing Israeli occupation are dark pages in the history of the city and region. This is especially with respect to the establishment of the Zionist Israeli state in the Middle East, which has led to several, economic, cultural, and political conflicts affecting the region to this day. With reference to this uniqueness of Bayt al-Maqdis, this paper aims to interpret the occupation of Bayt al-Maqdis and the establishment of Israel as a state in the heart of the Muslim East, along with its multi-dimensional consequences, according to the Barakah Circle Theory of Islamicjerusalem introduced by Abd al-Fattah Muhammad El-Awaisi.

Published: November 2020

The purpose of the article is defining the modern challenges of Higher education internationalization concerning gaps between discourses and reality in a global higher education by means of theoretical method of conceptual comparative analysis of current researches concerning HEI process on the example of Canada; conceptual approaches to studying HEI has been outlined the trend of gap appearing between the discourse and reality concerning internationalization at the national and global level. Detailed understanding of real internationalization at practice has been presented. Main challenges of HEI and perspectives of their overcoming in the context of university activity have been defined. Canadian universities chose internationalization as a key priority of strategic planning; it goes out from their official strategic documents. Johnston university outlined project «NGS» (North goes South) as a model of HEI. At the official level the project is outstanding model of HEI and an example for educational institutions. Based on the analysis of M. Larsen research, we have to mention the fact of divergence between official discourse and realities of the program. The divergence was found only after continuing, reflexive process, as authorities always shut down critics of the program. We also can state that the project had unequal relations from the very beginning between the representatives of university, who are considered to be bearers of knowledge and skills, and local partners. Only in some cases, relations reflect partnership. Although in theory international higher education has to provide critical, responsible and engaged inhabitants of the world, at practice it goes about commercialization of research, income generating and formation of international reputation. Key words: higher education internationalization, universities, gaps, challenges, perspectives.

Published: November 2020

The article considers foreign experience of interdisciplinary educational programs implementation. The authors described the relevance and possibilities of applying an interdisciplinary approach in education and science, forms of interdisciplinary learning (in particular, through the study of individual disciplines based on a combination of knowledge, methods from different specialties, interdisciplinary links between disciplines in the educational program, two educational programs simultaneously, interdisciplinary programs). Peculiarities of introducing the interdisciplinary approach and models of teaching according to educational programs on the examples of Warsaw and Jagiellonian universities were determined. The model of MISH (individual interdisciplinary humanities and social education), MISMaP (exact, natural, social and human sciences), Artes Liberales model (determines the individual trajectory of education through the humanities, social and natural sciences) are characterized. The authors clarified the peculiarities of creating, implementing, organizing the teaching process in interdisciplinary programs, selecting students, enrolling in elective courses, writing scientific interdisciplinary papers, the enhanced role of tutors, mentors, the importance of integrating research into the educational process. It was found that special attention should be paid to the development of soft skills: critical and creative thinking, writing scientific texts, the ability to work in a team, empathy, communication, etc. The peculiarities of Polish and Ukrainian legislation in terms of interdisciplinary program implementation were also identified. In Ukraine, interdisciplinary programs are allowed from December 2019 for masters (only for educational and scientific programs) and for junior bachelors. The lack of requirements for interdisciplinary programs highlights the problems with the development and registration of such educational programs in the Unified State Education Database, their implementation for regulated professions, the peculiarities of accreditation. The need to improve the regulatory framework for the implementation and accreditation of interdisciplinary programs in Ukraine has been identified. Emphasis is placed on the challenges facing universities which want to implement such programs, including higher tuition fees, limits to the programs entry and exit , the need for organizational changes for administration, and the specifics of accreditation. Key words: interdisciplinary approach, educational programs, forms and models of interdisciplinary learning.

Authors:   ДВНЗ “Донбаський державний педагогічний університет”, DRUHOV M.
Published: November 2020

The article outlines the issue of developing students’ critical thinking at lessons of English according to the Concept of “New Ukrainian School” which is focused on reforming and modernizing the system of secondary education. The relevance of the presented issue is proved by a number of official documents, released by European Commission that form the framework for reforms for national government. The paper looks into studying the roots of the concept “critical thinking” and reveals the modern definition. For deeper understanding the essence of the definition, its key features are disclosed: independence, problem-based nature, decision making, rationalism, and socialness. The author proves that the process of development of critical thinking has the characteristics of technology (algorithm-based and coordination). So, it is noted that a lesson in primary school should be conducted according to the technology structure. The author singles out three lesson stages: introductory (evocation), main, and final stages. Special attention is paid to two models of developing primary school students’ critical thinking, based on the theories, presented in foreign scientific literature and recommended for implementing by Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The first model is based on the study of K. Egan who emphasizes the role of students’ language development for broadening their horizon. The second model is a theory of multiple intelligence of H. Gardner adopted to the conditions of learning English in primary school. Key words: primary school, English lessons, critical thinking, New Ukrainian School, technology.

Published: November 2020

The article deals with the practical aspects of the implementation of the integrated content line “Environmental safety and sustainable development” in English lessons at school. It notes that the skills of the outlined content line are traditionally developed while developing communicative competence within the topics of situational communication related to the content line, for example, “Recreation and leisure”, “Nature and environment”, etc. The purpose of the article is to show that other topics of situational communication that are not directly related to the content line (for example, “School time. What is your school?”, “Your preferences. Do you need a book?”, “Your preferences. With music in your heart.” and others) have also their situational potential and can ensure the development of relevant skills of the content line. The development of content-line skills is, first and foremost, possible due to the inclusion of environmental material and tasks that are vital, contain interesting facts, evoke emotions, and stimulate discussion. Great success and productivity are achieved through video and audio materials, informative eco-friendly online resources. Teaching situations based on material with real data and facts and performing tasks or activities that are meaningful and engaging contribute to learners’ understanding of human responsibility for the environment, promote the development of critical thinking, the ability to solve environmental safety issues. The author describes the possible forms of teaching organization and teaching technologies (excursion, presentation, project work, experiment, role-playing game, business game, discussion, and environmental actions) to implement the content line within some topics of situational communication on the basis of English textbook for grade 8. The examples of teaching material containing environmental problems that illustrate the implementation of this content line are recommended, specific skills of the content line are identified. Keywords: integrated content lines, implementation, environmental safety, foreign language, topic of communication, skills.

The article discusses the issues of improving the modern university management system with Chinese characteristics. It is noted that in the administration of colleges and universities in China, the implementation of values plays an important role in the effectiveness of their management. It is noted that organizational culture is an immanent component of the higher education institution management system. It acts as a composite and at the same time integral characteristic of the organizational environment of scientific and pedagogical workers and students. An understanding of the concept of "organizational culture" and its role in the administration of universities in China is provided. It was found that the following definition is appropriate for the study: organizational culture is a set of the most important proposals directed at all members of the collective that express the values declared by the organization and give people guidance on their behavior and actions. The organizational culture of universities includes the concepts of values, which provide norms, standards and requirements. It has been established that a “mature” management system must strictly implement values in order to achieve the development of all levels of management in universities. The academic style, academic nature, educational environment is reflected both in many departments of the organization and in existing working relations at the university. The values for managing the university administration are described, which include: creating a dynamic, intelligent, standardized, effective administrative office; the presence of an effective management style, starting from the first level; continuous professional development of the organization’s employees; the creation of conditions that emphasize the orientation on a person, his physical and mental health, optimistic attitude to life and work, ensures the quality of professional activity.

Rationale of perspective directions of standardization of medical care of the population of Ukraine at the turn of 2020
Authors: Diachuk D.D. , Zyukov O.L. , Lishchyshyna O.M.
Published: November 2020

Abstract. The state of standardization of healthcare services to the population of Ukraine has to be critically analyzed and compared with the basic European recommendations on methodology. Since the standardization of healthcare services usually takes place under complex national conditions and is a component of the quality management system, we aimed to determine whether the methodology for standardizing healthcare services in Ukraine is consistent with the methods used in countries with strong economies. Aim: to determine whether the implementation and development of the methodology for standardizing healthcare services to the population of Ukraine corresponds to the approaches in the European Union, and to substantiate promising directions for improving the standardization of healthcare services to the population of Ukraine at the turn of 2020.

Materials and methods. A historical analysis of the normative documents that currently define the methodology of standardization of healthcare services in Ukraine and their comparative analysis with the EU acquis in health care have been carried out.

Results and discussion. Since the main responsibility for improving the quality of healthcare services belongs to government institutions, the common documents of the European Union on this issue are recommendative in nature. At the same time, a comparative analysis made it possible to identify the main achievements and gaps in the methodological support of standardization in the healthcare sector in Ukraine, to substantiate the directions for improving the standardization of healthcare services to the population of Ukraine at the turn of 2020.

Conclusion. At the beginning of 2020, the methodology for standardizing healthcare services in Ukraine partially corresponds to the approaches typical of the European Union. At the present stage, improving the quality of healthcare services in Ukraine requires strengthening the accountability of government agencies, improving the procedure for implementing and updating health standards in accordance with existing data, establishing a connection between the quality criteria of healthcare services, the drug formulary and the list of available equipment based on a single evidence base and a single conceptual and terminological thesaurus, monitoring the compliance with standards and tariffs for medical (pharmaceutical) services through pilot implementation, monitoring of clinical indicators. The progress in these areas is possible providing that the methodology of evidence-based medicine is followed, with the broad involvement of healthcare professionals and healthcare service receivers.

Summary. One of the phenomena of personal deformation is emotional burnout (EB). Emotional burnout syndrome (EBS) can occur during studying in institution (university) and become an obstacle in its process. EBS affects up to 40% (students) of young people studying. Components of learning: social comparison and evaluation, dissatisfaction with the process and the result of learning, feelings of injustice in the assessment of knowledge, unjustified hopes, difficulties in communication are factors of emotional burnout.

Aim. To determine the presence and influence of negative factors on the possibility of emotional burnout in students of higher educational institutions.

Materials and methods. A one-step (transverse) study was conducted. Social networks popular among students – Telegram, Instagram – were chosen to distribute the questionnaire. In particular, the survey form was sent in such chats as NMU, KT-18, LNTU students, conversations of students of NMU named after O.O.

Results and discussion. When analyzing the data according to the specialization of the higher educational institution and the year of study, attention is drawn to the increase in the percentage of students studying medicine, dentistry, pharmacy according to the years of study who force themselves to work (learn subjects) despite fatigue. These are the students of second grade – 8.33%, third – 23.86%, and fifth one 25%. The number of such students studying philology tends to decrease from 100% in the third study year to 25% in the fourth one. The number of third-year students who try to study despite fatigue, in the field of economics, philology and management and marketing is greater than among students who study in the field of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. 33.3%, 100%, 28.5% against 23.8%, respectively.

Conclusions. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that with each study year, the percentage of students who feel depressed due to learning difficulties, who feel tired and unwilling to study in senior grades, is growing. It was also detected that in senior grades among students who experience chronic fatigue, the use of psychoactive substances is highly spread. Among the surveyed students, there is a high percentage of probable risk of development of the syndrome of emotional burnout (SEB). It is specified that the percentage of probable risk of SEB increases with each year of study. It was found that medical students tend to feel chronic fatigue and the need for additional motivation to study earlier than other students. Computer science students were the least likely to develop emotional burnout.

Objective: To determine specific features of peripheral arterial diseases in patients with diabetic foot that influence the choice of revascularization method.

Introduction. Peripheral arterial diseases in patients with diabetic foot (PAD/DF) have significant differences in pathogenesis, manifestations and course compared with peripheral arterial diseases (PAD). These differences cause creating classifications to access severity PAD/DF and PAD separately. But approaches to revascularizations in PAD/DF and PAD remain the same.

The choice of revascularization method taking into account the features can significantly improve its results.

Materials and methods. We analyzed results of 98 revascularizations of 77 lower extremities in 74 patients in the period from 2014 to 2019рр. Angioplasties were performed 72,3%, open operations – 21,4%, hybrid procedures 6,1%.

Results. Amputation-free survival during the year was 84,6%. Healing of trophic disorders during the year was 70,5%.

Conclusions. At the diagnostic stage, patients with PAD and PAD / DM should be separated for creating the optimal treatment plan and the choice of revascularization technique. Different approaches to the PAD/DF patients can improve the results of revascularizations.

Published: November 2020

Modern literature information on the etiopathogenetic prevalence of lichen sclerosus has been presented by the authors; clinical manifestations and classification of the disease have been outlined; diagnosis and treatment issues have been discussed in the article. 3 clinical cases of genital lesions in the form of lichen sclerosus in patients with limited scleroderma have been described. In our opinion, lichen sclerosus is one of the forms of limited scleroderma.

Purpose. To investigate the conditions for the diagnosis and treatment of genital lesions in the form of lichen sclerosus in patients with limited scleroderma.

Methods. The first line of therapy for lichen sclerosus is the use of super-powerful topical glucocorticoids. Clobetasol propionate 0.05% is to be used for 3 months (1 month daily, then every other day for a month, then 2 times a week for a month). After 3 months of treatment, if a positive effect is declared, maintenance therapy is recommended once a week. Topical calcineurin inhibitors are recommended as a second-line therapy. Effective and safe excipients are emollients that moisturize the skin and mucous membranes, prevent transdermal fluid loss, and reduce subclinical inflammation. The possibility of using triamcinolone (1-2 mg) onto pathologically altered tissue in women with lichen sclerosus where there are hyperkeratotic sites resistant to GCS can be considered after exclusion of intraepithelial neoplasia or malignant transformation. The effectiveness of physiotherapeutic methods, such as low-intensity helium-neon laser radiation in the red or infrared range, treatment with sunlight and radiation generated by medical equipment, photodynamic therapy has been described.

Results. One of the important measures is the elimination of irritating factors, as well as careful care of the vulva and the treatment of secondary infection. It consists in adherence to a diet (exclusion of spicy, salty, sweet foods, caffeine-containing products, alcohol) and intimate hygiene rules (limitation / exclusion of soap-containing products, deodorants, synthetic underwear, pads, tampons). The underwear should not be very tight. In addition, patients should exclude mechanical irritation of the affected area, including shaving. With extreme manifestation of itching, it is recommended to prescribe desensitizing therapy and sedatives.

Conclusions. Clinical cases of practical interest in connection with the clinical manifestations of limited scleroderma on the skin and genitals have been considered. Frequent lesions of the genital organs in the form of a typical clinic of lichen sclerosus in women suffering from limited scleroderma, the similarity of their clinic, histological picture and pathogenesis have been noted. All this gives a reason to consider lichen sclerosus as a manifestation of limited scleroderma.
