Evolutionary determinants and hormonal underpinning of men's mating strategies: Correlational and experimental evidence from Chilean samples
Authors:   ,   Universidad del Desarrollo, Fajardo Rodríguez Gabriela Paz
Published: March 2023

Humans show a wide variety of mating strategies, from promiscuous mating to the establishment and maintenance of long-lasting pair-bonds, with variation between sexes, within sexes, and within-individuals. The following thesis focuses on men’s mating strategies, from an evolutionary and a proximate approach, presenting the results from two studies. The first one takes the evolutionary perspective, that proposes the variation on mating strategies can be partially explained by phenotypical, social, and environmental factors. We aimed to investigate the traits associated with men’s predisposition to invest in long-term mating to understand the selective pressures that shape the cost-benefit balance that favors men’s parental investment. We obtained that socioeconomic status is the main predictor for long-term mating orientation, while strength is highly associated with short-term orientation in men. The second study considers a proximate approach, where testosterone and immediate social context play a major role in regulating individuals’ mating strategies. We investigated the testosterone-related and social mechanisms involved in the calibration of long and short-term mating strategies, obtaining that the most relevant factor to explain these strategies is the inclusion of a female confederate in the immediate context where the session was carried out. This manuscript brings together approaches from the ultimate and proximate causes for a better understanding of human mating strategies in men

Authors: Rahmawati Rahmawati , Fataky Saokin , Pangestu Widya Trio
Published: March 2023

Peningkatan pembelajaran yang terjadi pada anak sekolah dasar sering menggunakan materi yang sudah ada pada buku materi, hal ini mendorong untuk penulis melakukan pendekatan untuk pembelajaran pada anak sekolah dasar dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran miniatur kardus lalu lintas. Miniatur kardus lalu lintas mengajarkan pada anak sekolah dasar untuk bisa melihat sekilas bagaimana bentuk atau wujud jalanan yang ada pada umumnya. Pendekatan ini dilakukan untuk pengenalan proses belajar yang interaktif. Selain itu, dapat menanamkan rasa taat berlalu lintas sejak usia dini. Pada usia anak-anak lebih mudah untuk menyerap nilai-nilai patuh pada rambu-rambu lalu lintas karena pada dasarnya anak-anak akan selalu berinteraksi dengan sistem lalu lintas dan jalan raya dalam menjalankan aktivitasnya. Dengan keterbatasan-keterbatasan tersebut maka khususnya siswa-siswi Kelas IV SD sangat membutuhkan metode pembelajaran ini untuk mengenalkan rambu-rambu lalu lintas, khususnya rambu peringatan, larangan, perintah dan petunjuk berbasis android sebagai pembelajaran interaktif, dengan harapan agar dapat memotivasi siswa-siswi dalam membantu belajar memahami dan mengerti konsep-konsep rambu rambu lalu lintas tanpa harus membawa buku dan pengajaran menjadi lebih menarik sehingga dapat memotivasi belajar siswa-siswi SD baik di sekolah maupun diluar sekolah. Selain itu, media pembelajaran miniatur kardus lalu lintas ini bisa melatih kreativitas siswa untuk menjadi siswa yang berkreatif dan menarik.
Psychology of Terrorism: A Comparative Analysis of FETO and PKK Terrorist Organizations
Authors: BANAZILI Abdurrahman Muhammet
Published: March 2023

The concept of Terrorism, which can also be described as collective acts of violence, is a problematic phenomenon that aims to convey the messages desired to be given to the society, individually or collectively, through the murder of innocent people. Illegal activities and violent methods of terrorist organizations negatively affect states in terms of political, social, economic, cultural and psychological aspects. That’s why, countries that have to fight against terrorist organizations prevent these countries from taking steps that will strengthen terrorist organizations, such as the financial flows of these countries and the recruitment of new members to the organization. In this context, in order to be able to fight against terrorist organizations that harm every aspect of the economic and democratic development of countries and for state institutions to develop strategies for this, psychological analysis of these structures will prevent the emergence of new organizations with a similar structure and the attempt to fill some gaps by separatist organizations. The purpose of this paper is "what are the main motivations in terrorist behavior?" is to answer the question In this context, the analysis of the study will be made by comparing the psychological motivations of FETO, which was among the international terrorist organizations both in the State of the Republic of Turkey and abroad, which turned into a terrorist organization from a service movement at the beginning, and the PKK, which was founded in 1978 as a separatist terrorist organization in its origin. In the research, descriptive technique, which is one of the qualitative data collection methods, has been use, and national and international literature review will be made on the subject. As a result of the findings, it had been reveal the aspects that the terrorist organizations in question resemble psychologically and differ.

Sidr tree disease diagnosis system Python programming
Authors: Jiwar Zainab , Othman Zainab
Published: March 2023

The Sidr tree is an important fruit tree in many parts of the world, but it is often affected by various diseases and pests that can impact the quality and quantity of its fruit production. This paper proposes the use of ontology and semantic web technologies with Python programing language to program a diagnosis service for the Sidr tree diseases. Programming a Semantic Web application system and services requires knowledge of many technologies such as Resource Description Framework (RDF), Web Ontology Language (OWL), and SPARQL Query. The underline Web service (Sidr tree disease Web service), has to be programmed in connection to a pre-existing ontology and knowledge base. The service program is made of three main components. These components are the user interface, diagnosis service-related functions, Knowledge base, and query engine. The Python 3.10 code listing in this paper represents only the code related to disease diagnosing service and the Sidr tree ontology (SidrTreeonto). In addition to the listed statements and functions, the complete diagnosing service code contains some other unlisted HTML static and dynamic Web pages. The code is run and tested and found to be simple and easy to use even by unexpert users. Overall, this application will provide a useful tool for Sidr tree farmers and researchers to diagnose and manage diseases affecting their trees.

Environment and health In his last book “La natura è più grande di noi” Telmo Pievani explains how the construction of an ecological niche is a process during which a species modifies the surrounding environment to adapt it to its needs. In this way future generation receive much more than genes and cultures. But sometimes, when the changes in the environment that determine short-term advantages create long-term disadvantages for subsequent generations, the construction of these niches can create evolutionary traps. It’s the case of climate change which should be addressed with a view to climate mitigation, adaptation and education also in schools and not just within health services. Clear objectives, multidisciplinary research and political actions aimed at protecting the environment from degradation are needed because it is increasingly emerging that the environmental issue is closely connected to social issues. The main articles published in the monitored journals are summarized in this paper to contribute to the knowledge of environmental problems and possible remedies. All articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a concise comment. This number is based on the systematic review of the July and August 2022 publications.
Il placebo è efficace come l’amoxicillina nella cura della bronchite acuta: i risultati di un RCT in doppio cieco
Authors: Gruppo di lettura di Reggio Emilia
Published: March 2023

Placebo is as effective as amoxicillin in the treatment of acute bronchitis: results of a double-blind RCT In this study conducted at the primary care level in UK, the efficacy of amoxicillin antibiotic therapy on the duration of symptoms in uncomplicated lower respiratory tract infections (excluding pneumonia) in children was compared with placebo. Inclusion criteria matched those commonly used for the diagnosis of acute bronchitis both in clinical practice and in previous Cochrane reviews. 432 children were randomized to the antibiotic (n=221) or placebo (n=211) group. Parents completed a diary of symptoms and daily activities for at least 1 week and until persistence of symptoms in the 4 weeks following randomization. The average duration of symptoms was not significantly different in the 2 groups (5 days in the antibiotic group vs. 6 days in the placebo group), nor in subjects belonging to specific subgroups with symptom severity in which antibiotic is commonly prescribed. Despite the limitations related to the subjective evaluation of the outcomes, the study allows us to conclude that, in the absence of clinical suspicion of pneumonia, in most children with lower respiratory tract infections, doctors should provide explanations on the course of the disease and not prescribe antibiotics.
Approccio al bambino con iperCKemia e rabdomiolisi in pronto soccorso pediatrico
Authors: Aricò Melodie O. , Belleri Paola , Cattazzo Elena , Del Vecchio Lucia , Pagano Giuseppe
Published: March 2023

HyperCKemia and rhabdomyolysis are sides of the same coin. In pediatric age, in most cases, the etiology is infectious in origin with a favorable course. However, the persistence of elevated CK values over time should lead to suspicion of genetic/ hereditary causes that may also require the involvement of other specialists. Rhabdomyolysis is an urgent concern because of the possible evolution into acute renal failure requiring appropriate fluid management and aggressive treatment of electrolyte disorders.

Published: March 2023

Hyponatremia is a frequent finding in pediatric emergency department. Association of hyponatremia with hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis, in a context of urinary tract infection and/or uropathy, may lead to suspicion of secondary pseudohypoaldosteronism (S-PHA). We describe a 8 month old child evaluated for weight loss, severe hyponatremia, mild hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis. Further evaluation showed elevation in renin and aldosterone concentrations, urinary tract infection and hydroureteronephrosis, suggesting S-PHA diagnosis.
Schistosomiasi e strongiloidosi: perché e quando?
Authors: Aricò Melodie O. , Valletta Enrico
Published: March 2023

Schistosomiasis and strongyloidosis are intestinal parasitosis for which research in populations at risk (migrants, travelers to endemic areas) is suggested because they can give a/ paucisymptomatic infections, tend to become chronic and can evolve to serious clinical pictures with long-term damage or high mortality. The classic direct search for the parasite on faeces and/or urine has a low sensitivity and the risk of false negatives is high. The availability of reliable serological tests allows, especially in areas with low endemia, to increase the possibilities of diagnosis, thus reducing the risk of unfavorable outcomes.

Authors: Perricone Giovanna , Carollo Antonio , Polizzi Concetta
Published: March 2023

The study is the expression of the work carried out by the Italian Society of Pediatric Psychology (S.I.P.Ped.) and presents the theoretical and operational framework of the child and adolescent trauma in Pediatric emergency, which is defined in Pediatric Psychology through the approach of the Psychotraumatology, In this sense, the fundamentals of this approach are: - the type of trauma that develops while the event that caused it takes place and not after it has ended. This time can persist and could cause an atypical development. - the nature of the trauma is explained as an “aggregate” between organic trauma and psychic trauma. In this sense, the study underlines how this aggregate gives life to a “psychoneurobiological displacement”. - the Traumatic Developmental Disorder as an often irreversible damage, which becomes the primary focus compared to the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, with which it is in a comorbidity relationship. The paper then presents the procedural model of actions for the integrated care between physician and pediatric psychologist, including through the presentation of pediatric conditions, and provides a time sequence from the here and now in which the Aggregate was determined to the time of hospitalization and/or care.

Authors: BEKE Adewale , NWAFOR Chidi Patrick , ISA Charity Gwandzang
Published: March 2023

This study set out to examine the impact of government expenditure on the agriculture sector performance. The result indicates that government expenditure on the agriculture sector significantly improves the performance of the sector in the period under review. This implies that spending policies of the government on the sector is yielding result as expected. However, commercial bank loan to the sector demonstrates weak positive influence on the agriculture sector output. FDI inflow on the other hand plays anti-growth role in the sector. Thus, the government is advice to adopt expansionary fiscal policy for the sector. The government is further advice to discourage the flow of FDI into the same sector to avoid the stagnation of the sector’s output. Government should mobilize local resources for the sector rather than foreign sources. Monetary policy towards the sector should be strengthened to improve the performance of the sector. Interest rate charged on loan for the purpose of agriculture activities should be lower than other sectors. Commercial banks should be encouraged to increase their participation in providing loan to farmers which will go a long way to boost output.

Role of radiology in post COVID-19 rhinocerebral fungal infections
Authors: Raghavendra Temkar V
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to describe common radiographic patterns that may be useful in predicting the diagnosis of rhinocerebral mucormycosis. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the imaging and clinical data of four males and one female, 3 to 72 years old, with rhinocerebral mucormycosis. Results: All the patients presented with sinusitis and ophthalmological symptoms. Most of the patients (80%) had isointense lesions relative to brain in T1-weighted images. The signal intensity in T2-weighted images was more variable, with only one (20%) patient showing hyperintensity. A pattern of anatomic involvement affecting the nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, orbit, and ethmoid cells was consistently observed in all five patients (100%). Our series demonstrated a mortality rate of 60%. Conclusion: Progressive and rapid involvement of the cavernous sinus, vascular structures and intracranial contents is the usual evolution of rhinocerebral mucormycosis. In the context of immunosupression, a pattern of nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, ethmoid cells, and orbit inflammatory lesions should prompt the diagnosis of mucormycosis. Multiplanar magnetic resonance imaging shows anatomic involvement, helping in surgery planning. However, the prognosis is grave despite radical surgery and antifungals.

O valor econômico do serviço de polinização na Região Metropolitana de Curitiba
Authors: Hoffmann Agatha Cardoso , Gonçalves Rodrigo Barbosa
Published: March 2023

Grande parte das culturas agrícolas necessita dos serviços ecossistêmicos de polinização realizados por diversos organismos, em especial as abelhas. No presente estudo são estimados os valores referentes à Valoração dos Serviços de Polinização Animal (VESP) nos cultivos de municípios da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba (RMC), a partir de dados de produção obtidos pela Secretaria da Agricultura e Abastecimento do estado do Paraná (2016-2020) e do coeficiente de dependência de cada cultivo pela polinização animal. O VESP para a RMC foi estimado em média R$382,4 milhões por ano em valores de 2020, sendo deste valor a maior parte oriunda do cultivo da soja, que correspondeu a R$230 milhões. Quanto aos demais cultivos, tomate, maçã, pepino, morango, abóbora e feijão mostraram os maiores montantes de VESP em ordem decrescente,. Os municípios com maiores valores, excluindo-se a soja, foram Rio Negro com R$24 milhões/ano, Cerro Azul com R$21 milhões/ano e Lapa com R$20 milhões/ano. Os municípios de maior número de cultivos com dependência essencial de polinzadores (95%) são Cerro Azul que produz R$6 milhões/ano, Colombo com R$5 milhões/ano e Tijucas do Sul com R$5 milhões/ano também. O VESP da soja não é influenciado pela área natural de cada município, por outro lado o VESP dos demais cultivos é impactado pela área natural circundante. Os dados aqui obtidos demonstram a importância econômica regional do serviço de polinização, o qual deve ser considerado na elaboração de políticas públicas de produção de alimentos e de conservação da natureza.

Authors: Clarke Martin , Williams Marie , Siddall Yasmin , Lewis Jessica
Published: March 2023

Purpose

A service evaluation was conducted to characterise all admissions to the National High Secure Healthcare Service for Women (NHSHSW).

Design/methodology/approach

Data were obtained from computerised records, case notes, and the hospital’s Risk Department. Data collected included the date of incident, incident type, location of incident and name of aggressor. The severity of incidents were reported from 2010 onwards. Some data are presented in three time bands: 2007, 2008–2011, and 2013–2015 in order to illustrate changes. Some data is presented in three age bands based on age at admission: under 30 years old, 30–39 years old and 40 years and over.

Findings

105 women were admitted into the service between January 2007 and 30 June 2015. The majority of women had a diagnosis of personality disorder (81.0 per cent), a history of trauma (e.g. it was documented that 71.4 per cent had experienced sexual abuse) and had received a criminal conviction (90.5 per cent). A total of 8934 risk incidents were reported and the majority of women (N = 101, 96.2 per cent) were involved in at least one incident during their admission. The majority of recorded incidents involved self-harm (70.9 per cent).

Originality/Value

Little has been published about the NHSHSW population. This article outlines the characteristic profiles of women detained in high secure care.

Practical implications

The complex background and clinical characteristics highlight the need for trauma-informed practice. Continuous monitoring is required to ensure effective practices.

Published: March 2023

Background

The use of technology within education and mental health provision has progressed significantly over recent years and opportunities for integrated provision to utilise technology to enhance young people’s learning and psychological wellbeing are on the rise. Access to education has been found to be a protective factor for young people in forensic populations, whereas a lack of engagement in education can be a risk factor for offending. The use of technology is also evolving within forensic settings and may support engagement in therapeutic interventions.

Objective

The current paper offers feedback from young people and staff within a Secure Children’s Home (SCH) in the North East of England, regarding their views on technology as a means to enhance learning and psychological wellbeing.

Method

The Meganexus Virtual Campus In-Room system is a viable solution for in-room technology with an emphasis on security and accessibility in secure settings. This system was demonstrated and reviewed by a total of eight young people and 35 staff members within a SCH. Preferences and views regarding the feasibility and efficacy of technology in young people’s secure services were examined.

Results

Overall, young people and staff felt that technology could be useful to support young people’s education and psychological wellbeing. Qualitative feedback highlighted several recommendations relating to education, multidisciplinary working, empowering young people, and promoting wellbeing. Conclusion: Promoting education and psychological wellbeing is essential within forensic settings for young people, and technology may provide an innovative solution to enhance engagement within secure settings. Implications and recommendations for future research are presented.
Economic policy uncertainty, national saving rate and its heterogeneity analysis: Based on big data analysis
Authors: Zhang Zhuoer
Published: March 2023

Under the dual effect of rapid changes in the international political and economic situation and the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, how to wisely design domestic macroeconomic policies to guide residents to rationally allocate the ratio of savings to consumption and stimulate the orderly growth of the economy from the demand dimension has become a realistic problem that countries urgently need to solve. In this paper, based on big data technology, we obtain dynamic panel data of 16 major economies from 1998 to 2019. By using the economic policy uncertainty index measured by Baker.S (2016) as the core explanatory variables, we construct a two-way fixed-effects model and a systematic GMM model to analyze the impact of economic policy uncertainty on national saving rate in depth. The empirical study finds that there is a significant positive relationship between economic policy uncertainty and the growth rate of national saving rate. In addition, there exists significant heterogeneity across countries with different income levels.

Published: March 2023

Menurut Jan Assmann monoteisme adalah biangkeladi eksklusivisme, intoleransi dan kekerasan antar agama-agama. Sebaliknya, dunia sihir J. K. Rowling dalam ceritera-ceritera tentang Harry Potter adalah dunia tanpa Allah. Dan karena itu dunia tanpa harapan. Para kurban Voldemort mati untuk selamanya. Sedangkan Allah menjanjikan bahwa segala-galanya akan menjadi baik. Yang tidak diperhatikan Assmann adalah unsur kunci: bahwa Allah Musa, Yesus dan Muhammad adalah Allah kasih.

Dilema Algoritma: Dramaturgi di Media Sosial
Authors: Alif Iman Nurlambang
Published: March 2023

Aktif di media sosial—seperti telah dipikirkan oleh banyak pengamat—mendatangkan mudarat, kendati artefak digital itu memberi pula sejumlah keasyikan. Selain candu bagi pengguna, media sosial mendatangkan pula dilema. Tulisan berikut merupakan respons sosiologis terhadap gejala dilema sosial, seusai menonton film The Social Dilemma. Pengguna media sosial mengalami manipulasi perubahan perilaku, menjadi agen pemasaran secara sukarela sekaligus konsumen, tetapi tidak kuasa memutus jerat dilema, persis seperti gambaran dilema sosial sebagaimana digambarkan dan dicontohkan oleh Sosiologi. Salah satu pandangan yang dipinjam untuk memahami situasi dilema dalam masyarakat digital adalah perspektif presentasi diri dramaturgi Irving Goffman, sekaligus kritik atasnya.

Correlation matrix among morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. clones in different climatic zones
Authors: Rawat R. , Nautiyal Santosh
Published: March 2023

Studies were undertaken for knowing the correlation among morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. In different climatic zones of Northern India. The results showed that morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters of Dalbergia sissoo clones showed positive correlation with each other at different sites viz. Lachhiwala (Dehra Dun), Lalkuwan (Haldwani) Bithmera (Hisar) and Pandhori Mindo Mind (Hoshiyarpur). Hence, for a successful tree improvement programme, screening and selection of the clones of this species must be based on their performance with respect to morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters collectively rather than the single parameter.
Vegetational heterogeneity of woody plants in Himalayan landscape of Himachal Pradesh, India
Authors: Sharma Poonam , Sehgal R. , Raj Anup
Published: March 2023

Species diversity, relative dominance and spatial distribution of woody plants species in the high hills of Western Himalayas were studied. The study area was poor in species diversity, both in terms of species richness and evenness. The highest values of Shannon’s index were 1.984 and 2.136 for trees and shrubs respectively. Maximum sites were having lower values of Jaccard’s index (J’) and higher values of concentration of dominance (Cd). Evenness in the shrub communities was more as compared to tree communities. Twenty of the 24 sites were dominated by conifers. Pinus gerardiana dominated maximum number of sites (8) followed by Cedrus deodara (6 sites). Most of the species were contagiously distributed in most of the communities and only a few had random or regular distribution.

Published: March 2023

The documentation of forest wealth in the Himalayas is of great importance because of biotic pressure on them. The applied system of management and conservation of forests is of immediate concern for the present and future generation. Such study is useful to known the type of plant community development through succession under single stand management system. The present study revealed the dominance of Cedrus deodara an endemic species of Indian Himalayas in all Periodic Blocks with maximum dominance in PB II. Among different PBs maximum diversity in species was found in PB IV with highest density of Quercus floribunda followed by Cedrus deodara and Pinus wallichiana. Among shrub species Berberis aristata showed maximum dominance in PB I, PB II and PB IV. However, Sarcococca saligna was dominant in PB III and as a next dominant species in PB I and PB II. It also showed highest density in PB I, PB II and PB III. While Berberis aristata indicated highest density in PB IV. Among herbaceous vegetation most dominant species was Eragrostis nutans in all periodic blocks. The maximum regeneration of Cedrus deodara was found in the decreasing trend as PBI >PB >PB >IV >PBIII >PBII. The maximum contribution to regeneration among various Periodic Blocks was of Cedrus deodara followed by Quercus floribunda, Pinus wallichiana and Quercus leucotrichophora.

Published: March 2023

It is not a secret that the world of Private Equity is growing year by year, with an immense upwards trend and that the willingness of understanding how Private Equity as an alternative capital raising strategy can be used by companies which do not want to go public and get financed by Public Equity.The underlying paper investigates the world of Private Equity, Listed Private Equity and Public Equity. Regarding transparency of data, the comparability of Public Equity to Listed Private Equity provides way better results than comparing Public Equity to Private Equity.Due to the listing of the firms, the disclosure requirements need to be fulfilled. The GLPE Index illustrates and underlines the effectiveness of Listed Private Equity as a financing source. The GLPE Index contains 40 to 75 listed Private Equity firms which mostly invest Private Equity in firms that are not listed.However - The top ten constituents of this index show their diversification considering the companies they have invested in and their performance, the countries in which the Headquarter are located and the performance of these funds. One can see clearly that 2021 was an extra ordinary year for all of them. They achieved returns and performance better than indices like the MSCI World and S&P 500.
