Embates poéticos de Basílio: Brasil, Portugal e Itália
Authors: Versiani Carlos
Published: February 2023

Neste artigo fazemos um estudo sobre o percurso biográfico e literário de José Basílio da Gama, entre o Brasil, Itália e Portugal, procurando  compreender como sua poesia se faz presente em todo o processo histórico vivenciado pelo poeta, elegendo momentos que consideramos importantes para acompanhar o seu diálogo com diferentes representantes do contexto político e literário em que vivia, trazendo discussões e/ou documentações novas, que possam melhor esclarecer pontos sobre os quais ainda pairam dúvidas e controvérsias. Neste caminho, passamos por diferentes abordagens da crítica literária e historiográfica, que focaram o universo poético e temporal do árcade brasileiro. Assim, cruzamos algumas vezes o Atlântico, e também o Mediterrâneo, para melhor detectar os seus passos entre a terra pátria, o reino português e a cidade de Roma, e de que forma estes se imprimiram na sua produção poética: desde a formação jesuítica, a integração à Arcádia Romana e ao projeto da sua filial ultramarina, às redes de sociabilidade social, poética e política construídas entre a América e o universo metropolitano português. Ao final, encontramos um Basílio da Gama que pensamos mais inteiro e visível, que possa melhor servir de base para pesquisas futuras.
Uma ideia de Angola no século XVIII, a partir de Quitúbia de Basílio da Gama
Authors: Tavares Ana Paula
Published: February 2023

Este texto sobre o poema Quitúbia de Basílio da Gama é tributário do enunciado do filósofo congolês Valentin Yves Mudimbe sobre a “Ideia de África” como uma construção e várias representações em contextos históricos e geográficos distintos. O poeta do Brasil nunca esteve em Angola e constrói a personagem africana a partir de uma linhagem de fiéis servidores da colónia portuguesa de Angola. Propomo-nos seguir e trabalhar as diferentes representações e os conhecimentos disponíveis em Lisboa sobre Angola no século XVIII.

O Uraguai em três quadros
Authors: Moura Murilo Marcondes de
Published: February 2023

Esse texto busca abordar o poema O Uraguai, de Basílio da Gama, a partir de três ângulos. Primeiro, busca dialogar, ainda que sucintamente, com alguns marcos da longa e heterogênea recepção crítica do poema. Procura expor, por outro lado, a abrangência e complexidade do assunto por ele desenvolvido. Finalmente, intenta mostrar como a contemporaneidade desse assunto, o conflito entre ameríndios e europeus na Guerra Guaranítica, se entronca com a tradição greco-latina, em especial com a Eneida, de Virgílio.

Lugar e corpo na escrita de Elizabeth Bishop: história, gênero e arquitetura
Authors: Herbst Helio
Published: February 2023

O presente artigo investiga a importância do lugar e do corpo na narrativa autobiográfica de Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979). A seleção dos textos evoca os anos de relacionamento com Maria Carlota [Lota] de Macedo Soares (1951-1967), sem necessariamente seguir uma ordem cronológica. Em tal premissa, reflexões acerca de história, gênero e arquitetura são entendidas como aportes à afirmação de uma existência criativa, atenta aos impasses e potencialidades de seu tempo. A análise dos extratos, entre cartas, prosa e poesia, fundamenta-se em enunciações de Friedrich Nietzsche e Walter Benjamin. Em Nietzsche se examina a contribuição dos sentidos corporais para o exercício do pensar, subvertendo a tradição idealista que concede a um pretenso substrato imaterial, por vezes denominado razão, a capacidade de refletir sobre o essencial. Nietzsche sustenta, neste raciocínio, a possibilidade da subjetividade carnal propor uma universalidade do absolutamente singular, de nenhum modo gerada por abstrações e nem tampouco concebida por um sujeito puro e desencarnado, tal como postulado pelo dualismo moderno. Em Benjamin, a proposta de aproximação entre o singular e o universal adquire relevância para se observar de que maneira os fenômenos, agrupados em unidades significativas, podem iluminar a experiência. Por fim, a análise dos extratos textuais leva em consideração o papel da rememoração como um imperativo necessário à articulação entre passado e futuro, tornando possível um ‘conhecer’ perspectivo, análogo a um mosaico de recordações, dispersas entre traços aparentemente inofensivos, tal como assinala Marc Augé.

The Action “Wanted!”: The Concept of Valency during the Early Steps of Mastering Chemistry
Authors: Vysotskaya Elena V. , Lobanova Anastasia D. , Yanishevskaya Maria A.
Published: February 2023

Background. We apply the theory of step-by-step concept formation (Galperin) and the theory of learning activity (Davydov) to the practice of education and teacher training. Objective. ! is paper describes a feasible way to teach the basics of Galperin’s theory to students studying pedagogical psychology, by involving them in an exemplary educational module on combining chemical formulas according to the elements’ valency values. Design. We suggested that our students participate in an educational module which was designed as an example of how to materialize orientation components of action as the basis of concept formation. ! e “practical” action for mastering the valency concept was to combine the correct formula for a pair of elements, whose valency was provided, and correct the formulas made by someone else. However, the core “orientation” required an extended procedure of building a “molecule” structure with a special construction kit. ! e key challenge for the students was to coordinate their calculation of the number of bonds needed for the molecule, and name the exact total before they would receive their atom-tokens for constructing the model. Results. Our workshop participants took on the role of students facing their " rst encounter with chemistry, and embarked on the formation sequence. At the same time they analyzed the mistakes they had made by ignoring some procedural steps. Considered through the lens of Galperin’s theory, these “adult” mistakesproved how vital his theoretical principles are for educational design. Conclusion. Our workshop thus illustrated that the search for the proper action for concept formation within Galperin’s theory framework is a challenging task. ! e di# culties that our participants experienced while they worked as pupils revealed the divergence of didactic approaches. ! e e$ ectiveness of the concept formation approach, even within our small exemplary educational module, once again con" rmed the practical value of pedagogical psychology in general, and Galperin’s theory in particular.
Effectiveness of Different Teaching Resources for Forming the Concept of Magnitude in Older Preschoolers with Varied Levels of Executive Functions
Authors: Veraksa Aleksander N. , Sidneva Anastasia N. , Aslanova Margarita S. , Plotnikova Valeria A.
Published: February 2023

Background. Studies have shown the great importance of early mathematical development as a predictor of subsequent success, which poses the question of how to organize preschool mathematical education with a view to the children’s age characteristics, including their cognitive development. In other words, mathematical concepts and actions should be formed with the help of teaching resources appropriate to the child’s development. Objective. To determine the e" ectiveness of three teaching resources (examples, models, and symbols) in formation of the concept of magnitude in older preschoolers (ages 6–7) with di" erent levels of executive function. Design. Four training programs (with 15 twenty-minute lessons each) were developed and conducted in a formative experiment for older preschoolers with di" erent levels of development of executive functions. ! e lessons addressed the concept of magnitude (length, area, volume), using di" erent types of teaching resources: exemplars (in traditional and game variants), models, and symbols. ! e total sample of 116 subjects (44% boys) was divided into 4 groups for each of the programs, plus a control group in which no sessions were conducted. ! e groups were equalized according to the initial level of development of concepts of magnitude and the level of development of executive functions. Results. ! ere was a statistically signi# cant increase in the quality of mastery of the concept of magnitude in three experimental groups (“symbolic,” “traditional,” and “traditional with imaginary characters”) compared with the control group. ! e formative e" ect of the “model-building” program showed no signi# cant di" erences from the e" ect of the child’s natural development (the control group). We also showed that children with a low level of regulation learned mathematical concepts more e" ectively with the “symbolic” program; children with a medium level of regulation with the “symbolic” and any variant of the “traditional” program; and children with a high level of regulation with the “symbolic” and “model-building” programs. Conclusion. ! e # ndings underline the importance of both the type of teaching resources used and the level of development of voluntary regulation, when teaching mathematics to preschoolers.
UNCERTAINTY COPING PATTERNS AS PREDICTORS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN APPLICANTS IN 2020
Authors: Epishin Vitalii E. , Kaurova Aleksandra M. , Lygina Elizaveta A.
Published: February 2023

Relevance. In 2020 along with regular stress related to fi nal examinations, school graduates faced additional difficulties due to COVID-19 quarantine restrictions. Specifi cally, this stress could manifest itself in increased anxiety, depressive symptoms, and other signs of the low level of psychological well-being. Th e study aimed to compare anxiety and depression levels in school graduates and 9–10 graders and to analyze the role uncertainty coping patterns play in their psychological well-being. Method. Th e following questionnaires were used: Th e Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire in Russian adaptation by Kornilova; The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) adapted by Adryushchenko, Drobizhev, Dobrovolskiy, and our original survey “Applicants` main fears”. Th e study sample included 170 participants aged 16–18 from diff erent Russian cities and towns. Among them, 96 were school graduates planning to apply for university, and 74were students of 9 and 10 grades. Th e research was conducted online with the use of Google-forms. Participation was completely voluntary and anonymous. Results: Th e study showed that anxiety and depression symptoms were impacted by the preference towards uncertainty coping patterns. Vigilance as a coping pattern led to lower levels of anxiety and depression in both groups. Th ere were no signifi cant diff erences in anxiety and depression between graduates and 9–10 graders. Conclusions: Preferred uncertainty coping patterns can impact the psychological well-being of graduate and undergraduate school students.

Objective. Knowledge, expectations and fears about chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer, aff ecting the subjective well-being and emotional condition of patients, may indirectly aff ect treatment satisfaction and complaints of side eff ects. Th e aim was to compare treatment representations in patients referred to radiation therapy and chemotherapy, and to identify its relationship with health anxiety and subjective well-being. Methods and participants. 53 patients referred to radiation therapy and 63 patients referred to chemotherapy completed the Scale of Treatment Representation in Oncological Diseases, Illness and Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences. Results. According to the results, the key diffi culties with regard to radiation therapy in patients are a lack of understanding of treatment process and a general concern about the need for it. Compared to radiation therapy, with chemotherapy, patients tend to be more doubtful about the eff ectiveness of treatment and more anxious about the need for it. Moderated mediation analysis demonstrated that lack of understanding, doubts about the eff ectiveness and anxiety about radiation and chemotherapy are associated with subjective ill-being indirectly — through a higher level of health anxiety. Conclusions. Feelings of helplessness with regard to treatment mediated the relationship between doubts and confi dence about treatment eff ectiveness and well-being in both groups. With radiation therapy, confi dence in the need for treatment was indirectly associated with better well-being — through lower health anxiety.
CULTURAL SPECIFICITY IN MEMORIZING AND REPRODUCING PLOT MATERIAL (ON THE EXAMPLE OF AZERBAIJANI AND RUSSIAN CULTURES)
Authors: Arestova Olga N. , Gamzaeva Maryam I. , Blinnikova Irina V.
Published: February 2023

Relevance. Th e paper is devoted to an extremely relevant in theoretical and practical terms problem of cultural diff erences in memory organization, which is considered on the example of memorizing plot material by representatives of Russian and Azerbaijani culture. Methodology and sample. Th e study involved 60 people, 30 people in each cultural subsample. A specially developed technique of verbal video plot repro-duction was used. Th e narrative was presented without speech and sound accompaniment, which allowed to use identical stimulus material for diff erent cultures. Results. Th e results obtained indicate the cultural specifi city in memorizing and reproducing plot material. It is shown that signifi cance of social and individualpsychological factors of memory organization changes depending on affi liation to collectivistic or individualistic culture. Th e representatives of Azerbaijani culture are more likely to include a moral conclusion in the plot, whilst those of Russian culture are more inclined to analyze the motivation of characters. Conclusion 1. Th e representatives of Russian culture are more likely to demonstrate the subjectivity of the reconstructed plot and greater projective freedom of interpretation regarding events and details. Th is can be explained by the activity of individual cognitive factors in relation to memorization. 2. Th e tendency to moral assessments and moralizing in reproduction of a plot is more specifi c to the representatives of Azerbaijani culture. Th is trend indicates an active role of social norms and rules in mnemonic processes determination as compared to individual factors (e.g., motivation). 3. Th e motivation of characters as the basis of storyline is more peculiar to the representatives of Russian culture compared to the Azerbaijanis. Th is fi nding testifi es to the greater importance of the individual personal determinants of mnemonic processes for Russians.

Relevance: in the last decade, virtual reality (VR) technologies have been actively introduced into the training process in various types of sprints. At the same time, there are studies showing the inconsistency of VR for the formation of sports skills and their transfer to real conditions. But despite this, the use of VR can be useful for practicing specifi c motor skills and cognitive functions, for example, anticipation. Objective: to develop VR-PACE technology (VR Technology for training Puck hitting And HOSKE skill Eff ectiveness) using virtual reality aimed at diagnosing and analyzing the skill level of a hockey player, as well as their training. Methods: within the framework of the study, a simulation virtual environment was developed that simulates a hockey fi eld (ice arena in Sochi) and sets four diffi culty levels (four blocks) depending on the speed of the puck and the distance to it. Th e study involved 22 people, 13 of whom were professional hockey players (Mage = 20 ± 2.5), and seven were beginners in hockey (Mage = 20 ± 1.4). Results: it was found that professional hockey players have a signifi cantly smaller amplitude of head vibrations during the refl ection of pucks, that is, they understand the position of their body well enough during certain actions, and they do not need to observe the full trajectory of the puck. Th ere were also signifi cant diff erences in the speed of response to the presented washers in the block with the fastest speed of presentation of 2 washers. Th e results obtained may indicate a better formation of technical and tactical, temporal and spatial factors in professional hockey players. Conclusions: the adequacy of the developed tools for the analysis of professional skills of hockey players was demonstrated. It was also shown that the skill level of a hockey player is determined by the formation of a set of parameters, including spatial, temporal, technical and tactical abilities. Th is is manifested in the automation of a number of skills, as well as the optimization of motor responses: 1) higher and more stable amplitude of movements over the entire observation interval and minimization of unnecessary movements; 2) higher reaction speed to more complex pucks (close to real game situations); 3) concentration of attention on signifi cant signals, anticipation.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE FEELINGS OF GUILT EXPERIENCED BY PEOPLE WHOSE PARENTS WERE ALCOHOL ADDICTS
Authors: Spivakovskaya Alla S. , Lutsenko Anna M.
Published: February 2023

Relevance. Th e question of the role of the feelings of guilt in the rehabilitation process of people whose parents were alcohol addicts remains controversial. In cognitive behavioral therapy, the feeling of guilt is associated with taking the responsibility. In the humanistic approach, the feelings of guilt and shame are considered as emotions that hinder the acceptance of responsibility and the search for social support. Th e study of the experience of the feelings of guilt can help formulate the goals of rehabilitation and identify the resource factors of people whose parents were alcohol addicts. Objective. Th e purpose of this study was to study the relationship between the responsibility and the feelings of guilt experienced by people whose parents were alcohol addicts. Methods. Sample: 1) people whose parents were alcohol addicts (N = 52; M age = 24.5); 2) control group (N = 50; M age = 24.2). We used a phenomenological analysis of the statements of the participants in the twelve-step recovery program, “Th e Interpersonal Guilt Questionnaire” (O’Connor, Berry), “Th e GuiltInventory Questionnaire” (Kugler, Jones), “Coping strategies” (Lazarus, Folkman), the content analysis of the family resource factors. Results. People whose parents suff ered from chronic alcoholism characterize the feelings of guilt as a familiar family process, as a result of increased responsibility for other people, as a result of taboo aggression towards their parents and as a result of experiencing a real or expected loss of their parents. An increased feeling of guilt is associated with avoiding fi nding a solution to a problem and is not associated with taking increased responsibility. Resource factors contributing to overcoming the feeling of guilt: keeping a diary, self-observation of negative emotions, communication with friends and healthy relatives, participation in rehabilitation programs. Th e participants in the control group are less inclined to experience the feelings of guilt and shame, and identify the confi dential communication with family and friends, and sport as resource factors. Conclusions. Th e feelings of guilt experienced by people whose parents were alcohol addicts is not associated with the acceptance of increased responsibility for their lives and does not contribute to the acceptance of the social support.
MULTIMODAL APPROACH TO THE RESEARCH OF URBAN SPACE
Authors: Mel’nikova Ol’ga T. , Izbasarova Sofia A.
Published: February 2023

Background. In the context of the development of modern society visual information is one of the ways of communication, which forms for social psychologists a research request to include visual modality in the analysis to identify the ways and content of interpretations of the facts of every day reality, which are peculiar to people. Objective. Th e work presents the research potential of a multimodal approach to the analysis of representations of urban space. Th ese representations are transformed as a result of transformations in the city itself and are refl ected in the mental picture of its inhabitants. Th us, the main aim of the work is to reveal the advantages of a qualitative research strategy, where, through the use of verbal and visual modalities, it is possible to obtain meaningful textural data and describe the process of transformation of representations of Moscow, as well as to show the deep experiences that can accompany it. Th e empirical aim of the study is to describe the content of representations of Moscow and their transformation. Th e empirical object of the study is representations of Moscow. Th e empirical subject of the study is the transformation of representations about the urban space of Moscow. Methods. In order to fulfi ll aim, the research design was formed, where the photos were both: a means of refl ecting of representations of the city and the stimulus material for the formation of narratives, which refl ected and analyzed the dynamics of the residents’ representations of their city. Sample. Th e sample included two groups of respondents: 12 native residents of Moscow and 13 residents who moved to Moscow and lived for the last 5 years. Th e age of the subjects ranged from 24 to 30 years. Results. Th anks to the implemented design of the study, where, due to photographs as a stimulus material, narratives turned out to be detailed in content and emotionally saturated with experiences, the presence of two lines of discourse in the representations of Moscow was revealed: Moscow-resting and Moscow-working. Th e mechanism of the personifi cation of the city by residents is analyzed as an eff ect of the perception of urban space. Conclusion. Th e use of a multimodal form of research made it possible, based on the analysis of photographs and narratives, to describe the content and transformations of representations of Moscow, as well as the outline of the perspective of the work performed.
Tibetan Plateau Booster Effect on the Influence of Atlantic Multidecadal Variability on the East Asian Summer Rainfall
Authors: Yu Liwei , Si Dong , Jiang Dabang , Ding Yihui , Shen Xinyong , Lang Xianmei , Li Qingquan , Tian Zhiping
Published: February 2023

Although influences of the Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) and atmospheric heat source over the Tibetan Plateau (TPHS) on the East Asian summer rainfall (EASR) have been previously investigated, the relationship between the AMV and TPHS and their synergistic impact on the EASR are still unclear. We investigate the distinct relationship between the AMV and TPHS, and the role of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on the impact of AMV on the EASR in this study. Results show that the AMV exerts a remote effect on the EASR through an atmospheric teleconnection, and the TP serves as a booster of this remote effect. The warming of the North Atlantic (positive phase of AMV) enhances the Asian summer monsoon through a zonal wave train along the northern midlatitudes, yielding an anomalous tripole rainfall pattern over East Asia. The enhanced warm and moist monsoon airflow converges and climbs up along the southern and eastern flanks of the TP, resulting in stronger latent heating over the TP than over other regions along the same latitude, due to the orographic effect of the huge plateau. The enhanced TPHS, in turn, further strengthens the summer monsoon and the East Asian tripole rainfall pattern by exciting a downstream meridional wave train. When the AMV and TPHS are in phase, the zonal wave train originating from the North Atlantic is strong and propagates eastward to the Asia–Pacific regions, significantly regulating the East Asian summer monsoon. Notably, the TP boosts this remote impact of the AMV through the effect of superimposition.

Significance Statement

The Atlantic multidecadal variability and atmospheric heat source over the Tibetan Plateau have been proposed as key drivers of the decadal–multidecadal climate variability in East Asia. In this study, we reveal a distinctive relationship between the Atlantic multidecadal variability and atmospheric heat source over the Tibetan Plateau. Moreover, our study shows that the Atlantic multidecadal variability exerts a remote effect on the East Asian summer rain through a zonal atmospheric teleconnection, and the Tibetan Plateau serves as a booster of this remote effect. Our results would be important for the understanding and predicting the decadal–multidecadal variations of summer climate in East Asia.
A Content Analysis of the Counseling Psychology Literature on Religiousness and Spirituality
Authors: Yoon Eunju , Lee Han Na , Pinney Erica , Adams Papa , Lovan Daniel , Lilwani Juhi
Published: February 2023

This study reviewed the literature on religiousness and spirituality (RS) published in three major journals in counseling psychology. We aimed to evaluate (a) the content and methods of RS research and (b) operational definitions of RS constructs and suggestions for research and practice. At Level 1, we reviewed 901 articles that included an RS related word(s) anywhere in the article. At Level 2, we further analyzed 108 empirical studies and 31 conceptual articles that included RS as a study variable or a primary topic. Both quantitative and qualitative (i.e., thematic analysis) methods were used for data analysis. To summarize the key findings, major topics related to RS included mental health, wellbeing, LGBTQ experiences, help-seeking, counseling process, eudaimonic wellbeing, identity, discrimination, and minority stress. Religiousness and spirituality tended to be defined in a dichotomous way. We suggest future directions for research, practice, advocacy, education, and training, building on the holistic, multicultural, and positive premises of counseling psychology.
Minority group local government mayors and their relations with welfare bureau social workers
Authors: Mahajne Ibrahim
Published: February 2023

Mayors play a major role in determining their locality’s welfare policies and significantly influence the welfare bureaus’ work. This study employed in-depth semi-structured interviews with 19 mayors of local Arab governments in Israel to examine this issue. It found that the mayors fiercely criticize the welfare bureaus in four areas of concern, claiming that they ignore particular needs, neglect core target populations, lack culture-sensitive responses and their functioning is defective. The mayors’ criticism of welfare bureau inadequacies sheds light on Welfare Ministry policies that allocate lower discriminatory budgets to Arab welfare bureaus and are insensitive to Arab society’s cultural-religious needs.
Employment stability and decent work: Trends, characteristics and determinants in a liberal market economy
Authors: Murphy Caroline , Turner Thomas
Published: February 2023

It is often assumed that the ideological dominance of neoliberalism has profoundly altered job security and long-term employment relationships. Such claims of a more unstable and insecure jobs market in the twenty-first century are the focus of this paper. Using Labour Force Survey data employment stability in the private sector over more than 20 years in Ireland is examined. As a liberal market economy, Ireland represents a fitting context in which to examine this issue given that it is one of the world's most globalised economies and among the most severely affected by the global financial crisis. Assertions of a more unstable and insecure labour market are not in the main supported by our findings. Reasons suggested for the persistence of a stable employment regime are the continued strategic institutional role of trade unions in influencing regulation, and the interest of employers in retaining skilled employees. However, the emergence of the challenging economic conditions since the pandemic may challenge trade union capacity and employer support for such stability.
Measuring Public Attitudes Towards Immigration: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Social Survey Questions
Authors: Biglin Josephine , Purdam Kingsley
Published: February 2023

Public attitudes towards immigration and immigrants, captured through social surveys, are widely reported in the media and used to inform political decision making. However, it is important to consider whether public attitudes are being accurately measured. This article uses critical discourse analysis and critical race and post-colonial theories to examine questions in leading social surveys. The article also draws upon interviews with survey managers and methodologists. In many high-quality surveys a ‘white’ identity is often framed as the norm alongside negative narratives of identity and difference. For example, in one survey question attitudes towards immigrants are asked about alongside attitudes towards alcohol and drug use. The objectivity of the framing and language of many survey questions needs to be reviewed. In the context of evidence of increased levels of racial discrimination, a new discourse is required to more objectively measure and understand public attitudes towards immigration and immigrants.
Now It Makes More Sense: How Narratives Can Help Atypical Actors Increase Market Appeal
Authors: Cutolo Donato , Ferriani Simone
Published: February 2023

Extensive research shows that atypical actors who defy established contextual standards and norms are subject to skepticism and face a higher risk of rejection. Indeed, atypical actors combine features, behaviors, or products in unconventional ways, thereby generating confusion and instilling doubts about their legitimacy. Nevertheless, atypicality is often viewed as a precursor to sociocultural innovation and a strategy to expand the capacity to deliver valued goods and services. Contextualizing the conditions under which atypicality is celebrated or punished has been a significant theoretical challenge for organizational scholars interested in reconciling this tension. Thus far, scholars have focused primarily on audience-related factors or actors’ characteristics (e.g., status and reputation). Here, we explore how atypical actors can leverage linguistic features of their narratives to counteract evaluative discounts by analyzing a unique collection of 78,758 narratives from crafters on Etsy, the largest digital marketplace for handmade items. Marrying processing fluency theory with linguistics literature and relying on a combination of topic modeling, automated textual analysis, and econometrics, we show that categorically atypical producers who make more use of abstraction, cohesive cues, and conventional topics in their narratives are more likely to overcome the evaluative discounts they would ordinarily experience.

Published: February 2023

Objective

The aim of this study was to compare efficacy and safety of paravertebral block (PVB) and interpleural analgesia (IPA) after minimally invasive cardiac surgery through thoracotomy in terms of quality of analgesia, post-operative mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay (LOS) and complications.

Design

A randomized, prospective study.

Participants

A total of 50 adult patients (18–50 years old) undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery via thoracotomy.

Intervention

Patients were randomized for group A: paravertebral epidural catheter ( n = 25), group B: interpleural catheter ( n = 25). All patients were given Inj. Bupivacaine 0.125%, 8 ml and Inj. Tramadol 100 mg as an adjuvant, total volume 10 ml.

Results

After obtaining institutional review board approval, data collected and analysed – visual analogue score (VAS) at rest and on coughing, haemodynamic and respiratory parameters, time to extubation, supplementary analgesia requirement, LOS and complications. VAS was recorded at 0, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h post-extubation, while blood gases at-after shifting, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h. There were no significant differences in haemodynamic or respiratory parameters, VAS at rest and on coughing, ventilation duration, ICU and hospital LOS between two groups. The requirement of rescue analgesia was in one patient of mini coronary artery bypass in group B, while one patient in group A required reintubation due to respiratory acidosis and got successfully extubated on next day morning.

Conclusion

PVB and IPA both are safe and effective techniques for minimally invasive cardiac surgery with thoracotomy. It allows optimal pain control and safe ICU fast-track post-operative course.
Interim Finance in Creditor-Oriented Bankruptcy Codes: A Study in the Context of Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, India
Authors: Baxi Amol
Published: February 2023

This study examines interim financing with specific reference to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) in India. Interim financing is recognized as relevant to the successful outcome of the bankruptcy process. Internationally, bankruptcy regimes are considered robust if they contain enabling provisions allowing interim financing. IBC, hailed as creditor-friendly legislation, authorizes the insolvency professional (IP) to raise interim finance during bankruptcy. However, despite enabling legislation, the segment remains challenging. This study, through a qualitative methodology, examines the issues of mobilizing interim finance under the IBC. First, through a theoretical lens, this article discusses the importance of recognizing the distinct dimensions of interim financing under creditor-oriented regimes, like IBC, relative to the more established debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing model in the US (a debtor-friendly bankruptcy regime). This article argues that interim financing under creditor-oriented bankruptcy regimes faces certain inherent limitations (like lower lender motivation due to a lack of relationship banking or control/governance opportunities) relative to DIP financing, which primarily stems from who controls the firm during bankruptcy (IP or the corporate debtor). Through an interview method, this article then examines some specific issues in raising interim finance under the IBC. This research finds a lack of repayment visibility (quantum & timelines), narrow perception of interim finance and subtle differences between the objectives of the IP and lenders (resolution vs. recovery) are some practical impediments. From a normative perspective, this article suggests that improvements in IBC efficiency would improve takeout visibility to lenders. Greater stakeholder engagement will help alleviate conflicts and broaden the perspectives on the ultimate objectives of interim finance. Additionally, this article suggests learnings from the DIP model include a more early (ex-ante) consideration of interim finance (including potential sources). This article also calls for regulatory clarification on the inclusion of funding from the CoC in the technical definition of interim finance.
Algorithmic epistemologies and methodologies: Algorithmic harm, algorithmic care and situated algorithmic knowledges
Authors: Maalsen Sophia
Published: February 2023

Algorithms have been the focus of important geographical critique, particularly in relation to their harmful and discriminatory effects. However, less attention has been paid to engaging more deeply with the epistemological effects of algorithms, the result being that geographers continue to overlook more generative algorithmic potentials, practices, epistemes and methodologies. This paper progresses our engagements with algorithms by first considering practices of care as a means to reframe our relationship with algorithms. Second, the paper identifies an epistemological rupture that allows us to reconceptualise algorithms as co-researchers, enabling us to encounter new spaces and understand these spaces in new ways.
Strategies of continuity and discontinuity in the interpretation of Marx’s work: The case for discontinuity
Authors: Cowling Mark
Published: February 2023

The publication of Marx’s Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (EPM) in German in 1933 immediately triggered off debate as to where the document fitted in Marx’s theories generally. The obvious possibilities were first, that these writings could be dismissed as juvenilia, and that Marxism as understood by figures as diverse as Lenin, Kautsky, Bernstein, Rosa Luxemburg and Trotsky, none of whom said anything significant about alienation, could be studied and argued about while disregarding the EPM. Second, there were actually numerous reappearances of the theory of alienation in the writings of Marx after 1847, and the alienation theory must be very important in his mature writings. In what follows, I will argue the case for the unfashionable first alternative, but also be reviewing many of the arguments for and against continuity in Marx’s work, hopefully making the article useful irrespective of which side one takes.
Effectiveness and safety of rectal dexibuprofen versus oral ibuprofen for closure of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants with gestational age<34 weeks: A pilot study

Published: February 2023

This pilot study aimed to explore the effectiveness and safety of dexibuprofen suppository in the treatment of PDA in preterm infants. Preterm infants with gestational age <34 weeks and color Doppler echocardiographic evidence of hemodynamically significant PDA (hs PDA) with systemic hypoperfusion was intended to be included into this study since January 2020. As of January 1, 2021, this trial had recruited 87 preterm infants who met the inclusion criteria. Neonates were admitted into hospital within 1 hour after birth and were randomly assigned into two groups. Group one included 44 preterm newborns administered with oral ibuprofen. Group two included 43 preterm newborns administered with dexibuprofen suppository. This preliminary study showed that rectal dexibuprofen and oral ibuprofen were both effective for the closure of PDA, and the closure rate of dexibuprofen suppository was comparable to that of oral ibuprofen after the 1st and 2nd courses of treatment. In addition, rectal dexibuprofen did not increase the incidence of adverse outcomes, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, sepsis, and necrotising enterocolitis. This pilot study showed dexibuprofen suppository is as effective and safe as oral ibuprofen; yet, better designed, muticenter controlled studies are still needed.
A Meta-Research of Randomized Controlled Trials in the Field of Mental Health: Comparing Pharmacological to Non-Pharmacological Interventions from 1955 to 2020
Authors: Chen Sheng , Lee Alina , Wang Wei
Published: February 2023

Objective

This study aimed to provide a general overview of mental health randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and summarize the temporal trends in terms of the number of studies, median sample sizes, and median effect sizes using data collected from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR).

Methods

Using data collected from the CDSR, the temporal trends are compared in terms of the number of studies, median sample sizes, and median effect sizes between two broad categories of interventions: pharmacological RCT (ph-RCT) and non-pharmacological RCT (nph-RCT), and in conjunction with major mental disorder categories.

Results

Chronologically, the number of mental health RCTs reported in publications has increased exponentially from 1955 to 2020. While ph-RCT comprised a majority of mental health RCTs in the earlier years, the proportion of nph-RCTs increased more quickly over time and markedly exceeded ph-RCT after 2010. The median sample size for all 6,652 mental health RCTs was 61, with 61 for ph-RCT and 60 for nph-RCT. Over time, the median fluctuated but an increasing trend was observed over the past 60+ years. The median of the effect size, measured by Pearson's r, for overall RCTs was 0.18, and nph-RCT (0.19) had a larger median effect size compared to ph-RCT (0.16). Over the years, the nph-RCT had a larger median effect size than the ph-RCT. Differences in the median effect sizes among the categories of mental disorders were also noted. Schizophrenia had the most RCTs, with a median Pearson's r value of 0.17. Mood disorder had the second largest number of RCTs and a median Pearson's r value of 0.15. Neurotic/stress-related mental disorder had the third largest number of RCTs with the highest median Pearson's r being 0.23.

Conclusions

This study provides meaningful information and filled the knowledge gap in mental health RCTs.
Leader as CARER: An ecological approach to designing a resilient MAiD program
Authors: Frolic Andrea
Published: February 2023

In this article, I use a personal narrative case study approach to describe how the evolution of the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program at one Canadian hospital is informed by the model of a “care ecology,” and how we designed our program to generate resilience and sustainability systemically and structurally, rather than relying on the self-care efforts of individuals. I will also reflect on the leader behaviours required to enable a care ecology, and how this challenges traditional approaches to leadership. This model may be adapted to other high-stress teams to promote longitudinal well-being for healthcare professionals and leaders, as well as quality care for patients and families.
Fault-tolerant control for sensor faults affecting an electromechanical railway track switch
Authors: Mwongera Precious K , Midgley Will J , Dixon Roger , Ward Christopher P
Published: February 2023

A fault-tolerant control scheme (FTCS) was developed for a novel mechatronic track switch for the first time. The FTCS was first developed and tested on a simulation model of the system, before being applied to an experimental actuation system in the laboratory. Both the simulation and experimental results show that this FTCS works as expected and allows the switch to continue operating as desired under sensor failure, preventing damage to the switch.
Novel anti-disturbance fast terminal sliding mode control with improved quick reaching law for DC-DC buck converter
Authors: Halledj Salah Eddine , Bouafassa Amar
Published: February 2023

In order to improve the performance and suppress the chattering problem of variable structure control system, a nonlinear novel quick reaching law with dynamic power term is suggested, which could enhance the convergence rate whenever the system state position is near to or far from the manifold. Furthermore, a novel fast terminal sliding surface with additional nonlinear terms is developed and designed. The combination of these structure propositions can minimize both the reaching time and sliding time convergence. The finite-time stability of the proposed control paradigm is demonstrated via the Lyapunov criteria method. Moreover, in order to see the superior performance of the compound control, a disturbed DC-DC buck converter is selected as plant in this work. In addition, the extended state observer is designed and added in feedforward path of control law of sliding mode structure. In order to estimate the unknown uncertainties, the results demonstrate that the nonlinear novel fast terminal sliding mode with variable quick reaching law brings the system at equilibrium point more rapidly than the traditional manifolds and reaching laws. More than that, the closed-loop system performance has better transient response, lower steady state error and lesser sensitivity to disturbances.
