Published: April 2020

A cultura da mandioca e a sua cadeia produtiva necessita de grande aporte de recursos, direcionados a verificar variedades produtivas, com raízes de boa qualidade e que atendam a demanda do processamento mínimo.  Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar os aspectos agronômicos, a qualidade de raízes e o processamento mínimo de variedades de mandioca de mesa. Foram cultivadas seis variedades de mandioca (Amarelinha, Amarela, Cacau, Sabará, Vassourinha e Assentamento Estrela do Norte) em delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. Na colheita aos a10 meses, foram avaliadas a produtividade, índice de colheita, número de raízes por planta, peso médio de raízes por planta e a matéria seca das raízes. Em seguida, o material foi minimamente processado e conservado a 5° ± 2°C e 90 ± 5% de umidade relativa por 15 dias. Foram avaliados: o rendimento agroindustrial, teor de umidade, sólidos solúveis, pH e tempo de cozimento. O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 6 x 6, referentes as variedades de mandioca e períodos de armazenamento (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 e 15 dias), com 4 repetições. O rendimento agroindustrial, foi calculado apenas ao final do processamento mínimo. A variedade Vassourinha possui alta produtividade (79,24 t ha-1), peso médio de 4,0 Kg e elevada porcentagem de matéria seca de raízes, com rendimento agroindustrial acima de 70%. Mantém também a qualidade das raízes ao longo de 15 dias de armazenamento, sendo, portanto, sugerida ao processamento mínimo. O tempo de cocção desta variedade de mandioca é de 9 minutos.

Foram abertas trincheiras com dimensões aproximadas de 0,25 x 0,20 m, em seguida foram coletados blocos de solos nas áreas amsotrais: sistema agroflorestal (SAF); café em pleno sol (C-SOL); café sombreado (C-SOM); cultivo em aleias de flemíngia/vagem (AL-FLE) e plantio direto com milho/ (PD) com 6 anos de cultivo; em 3 camadas (0,00-0,05; 0,05-0,10 e 0,10-0,20 m) com 4 pseudorepetições em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Após a coleta, as amostras foram submetidas a tamisação em conjunto de peneiras de 9,7 - 8,0 mm. Foram utilizados para a identificação das vias de formação os agregados retidos neste único intervalo. Estes foram examinados sob lupa e separados manualmente e classificados em: biogênicos – aqueles que apresentaram formas arredondadas; e fisiogênicos – definidos com formas angulares. O PT foi determinado via digestão sulfúrica, e as formas e frações de P foram extraídas em sequência com NaHCO3, H2SO4 e NaOH. O PT e as suas formas e frações foram determinadas por colorimetria após a redução do complexo fosfomolibídico com ácido ascórbico. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância com aplicação do teste de agrupamento de médias de Scott Knott (p<0,05). Nos agregados fisiogênicos foram verificados os maiores teores de Pt-bic, Po-bic, Pt-H+ , Pi-H+ , Po-H+ e Po-OH- em comparação aos agregados da via biogênica na maioria das áreas estudadas. As concentrações de P encontradas nos diferentes tipos de agregados evidenciaram o importante papel das vias de formação na avaliação da qualidade do solo e que todas as áreas avaliadas possuíam capacidade de se auto sustentar em relação à nutrição fosfatada.

Published: April 2020

Electroencephalography (EEG) is well known method of recording electrical brain activity with electrodes placed along the scalp. One of the challenging tasks in this field is the removal of electrical signals that are not related to brain activity.In this
paper, an algorithm for the removal of the EEG signals corresponding to
the eye blink artifacts is presented. The presented algorithm is based on ADJUST artifact removing tool, which uses independent component analysis (ICA) for signal decomposition. For every signal component returned by the ICA algorithm, temporal-spatial features are calculated,
upon which every independent component is classified as artifact or non-artifact, and removed accordingly.
Using Vaginal Impedance Measurement to Identify Proestrus in Rats Given Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH) Agonist
Authors: Chesney Kari L , Chang Caroline , Bryda Elizabeth C
Published: April 2020

Vaginal cytology is the most common method of monitoring the estrous cycle in rats; however, this test requires specific technical training and can be subject to interpretation. Vaginal impedance offers a quicker and less technically challenging alternative and has been used successfully
to identify estrus in normally cycling breeder rats. We hypothesize that vaginal impedance can also be used to stage the estrous cycle in rats that have been given luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) for timed mating. Vaginal impedance measurements and vaginal cytology were performed
in LHRH-primed female rats (n = 36) at the expected peak of proestrus and paired with proven stud males. Breeding success was determined by gross necropsy to detect embryo implantation sites in the female rats. We found that the predictive rates of vaginal cytology and impedance measurement
for proestrus were similar; however, both methods resulted in high proportions of false positive and false negative determinations (28% and 31%, respectively). We further hypothesized that females respond to LHRH at variable rates, resulting in variable times of peak proestrus. To test this,
vaginal impedance measurements were performed multiple times throughout the expected day of proestrus in LHRH-primed female rats (n = 36). Females were either paired with a male 24 h after reaching the proestrus threshold (n = 18) or paired according to our standard protocol
at 1300 h on the day after the expected proestrus (n = 18). Sequential measurements reduced false positive and negative rates (14% and 8%, respectively). Pregnancy rates did not differ based on the time of pairing during expected estrus. Overall, we determined vaginal impedance can
be more successful than vaginal cytology at identifying proestrus in the rat, but only if multiple measurements are taken.
ОЦІНЮВАННЯ ІННОВАЦІЙНОГО РОЗВИТКУ ТРАНСПОРТНОЇ ІНФРАСТРУКТУРИ
Authors: Дмитрієва Оксана Іллівна
Published: April 2020

The article seeks to develop a model for evaluating the innovative development of the national transport infrastructure in the context of globalization. In order to evaluate the innovative development of the transport infrastructure of Ukraine, the innovation activity of the transport sector of the economy is analyzed. It is argued that innovation activity is a quantitative and qualitative characteristic of innovation performance that refers to the degree of innovation capacity realization. To assess the level of innovative development of transport infrastructure, a three-component system has been suggested which includes the following groups of indicators: indicators of innovation activity, indicators of innovation capacity and innovation efficiency indicators. Innovation activity is proposed to be considered as a characteristic of the dynamism of innovative activity of transport infrastructure objects which is assessed by the speed and scale of generating innovations, their market promotion and implementation in the activities of transport enterprises. Innovation capacity is associated with the perspectivism of innovative activity of transport infrastructure objects and is evaluated by potential opportunities that shape the innovative development prospects and trends, as well as strategic guidelines for the transport companies. Innovative efficiency is an indicator of innovation feasibility with regard to the two-way effects of economic, social, environmental and information factors on the level of innovative development of transport infrastructure. The key advantage of the proposed model for assessing the level of innovative development of transport infrastructure is the ability to take into account the principles of dynamism, perspectivism and expediency which contributes to provide comprehensive evaluation of the basic processes of innovative development.

To determine the eff ect of the type and concentration of surfactants on the coloring quality of a water-insoluble analogue of a straight dye of cotton textile materials by the mechanism of heterocoagulation. Method. Heterocoagulation mechanism was used to obtain dyeing of cotton textile materials with water insoluble direct dye form. Sample software was used to determine the color characteristics of colored samples of textile materials. Appropriate standard methods were used to determine the strengths of the obtained colors. Results. The concentrations of surfactant required for the combination of suffi cient intensity of the dyeing with the required strength of the dyeing to dry friction are determined. The analysis of the results shows that not only the particle size but also the nature of the interaction of the dye surfaces and the fi brous material, which is responsible for the depth of the fi rst low of the DLFO theory (Deriagin, Landau, Fairway, Overbeck  theory), is important for heterocoagulation dyeing. Direct dye may be in the form of nanodispersion. In this situation, the diff usion of the dye into amorphous sections of the polymer is excluded. Dyeing is carried out on ly due to heterocoagulation - deposition of dye particles on the surface of the fi brous material. It has been investigated that the dispersion particle deposited on the surface by the mechanism of heterocoagulation is secured by the forces of intermolecular interaction and its stability on the surface is ensured by the balance of the forces of intermolecular interaction and the infl uence of mo lecules of the dispersion medium (Brownian motion eff ect). With the successive reduction of the size of the dye particles to the nanoscale, the infl uence of the forces of intermolecular interaction increases signifi cantly. Practical importance. Reducing the cost of the dyeing process and preventing the detection of structural heterogeneities of textile materials is possible when using a heterocoagulation dyeing mechanism.

Purpose: to substantiate the role of family look in family upbringing of a child's personality based on traditional values. Methodology: an integrated approach was applied, questioning of parents, conversations with teachers, parents, children, methods of analysis and synthesis obtained. Style "family look" implies the presence of a unifying element in the image of the whole family. Family look emphasizes belonging to one family. Self-expression by family look is manifested through identical colors, similar patterns and common motifs in family members' prints. Options for "family look" are: 1) the same clothing in style, material; 2) a single style; 3) identical accessories; 4) a single color scale; 5) clothing for pets, dolls ect; 6) identical prints. Family look clothing can be not only for the holidays, but also for everyday look. The original style of "family look" stands out because it is a whole philosophy, where family, children and love are declared as the most important values. Results of the research: features of the “family look” style were analyzed. A parental survey was conducted to identify goals and priorities for choosing a family look clothing. Modern parents and teachers of preschool education have been found to be familiar with family look, which is a testament to the great popularity of style. Most surveyed identifi ed this style as the same clothing for parents and children. Only a small proportion of those  surveyed indicated that there were other signs of style, such as the same accessories. Psychological and pedagogical conditions of formation of family values in the structure of the personality of the child due to the "family look" style have been determined.  Scientifi c novelty: the possibilities of "family look" style in the development of a child's personality have been identifi ed. Practical importance: baced on a creative source, author's models of women's, men's and children's clothes in the style of “family look” were created. The results of the study can be used by workers of the fashion-industry in the formation of the range of products of light industry, and also by parents in the family upbringing of children.

The AP-1 transcription factor is differentially expressed in breast cancer and predictive of disease stage.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2020

The AP-1 transcription factor is a heterodimer, composed of subunits FOS and JUN (1-5), each of which have paralogs such as FOSB (6) and JUND (7). We probed the transcriptomes of 930 tumors from patients with breast cancer at stages I, II and III to understand how transcription differs based on tumor progression at the systems level and in an unbiased fashion by mining five independent published microarray datasets (8-12). We identified both FOS and JUN as among the genes most differentially expressed when comparing the tumor transcriptomes of patients with breast cancer from stage I, stage II and stage III. We also identified FOSB and JUND as differentially expressed based on cancer stage in the tumors of patients with breast cancer. In particular, expression of the AP-1 subunit FOS was predictive of breast cancer stage, with an overall trend of decreasing FOS expression in more advanced cancer stages. These data point to a negative relationship between AP-1 transcription factor expression and breast cancer stage and illustrate the potential of transcriptome analysis to illuminate fundamental transcriptional differences underlying tumor progression.
Heuristic Projection
Authors: Broockman David , Kaufman Aaron , Lenz Gabriel
Published: April 2020

Can voters who know little about their representatives’ actions effectively hold them accountable? An influential perspective argues that voters can infer their representatives’ actions by using interest group ratings as heuristics. Across nine studies in four original samples, we show that information about interest group ratings can have surprisingly pathological effects on voters’ judgments about their representatives. In our studies, voters shown interest group ratings are typically no more accurate at inferring their Member of Congress’ votes, nor do they usually adjust their views of their representatives appropriately. But voters do often engage in heuristic projection: voters act as if interest groups share their own views, approving of their representatives more and perceiving their representatives as agreeing with them on more issues when they learn their representatives received favorable interest group ratings— regardless of whether their representatives earned favorable ratings by casting votes those same voters disagree with.

Inhibition of Polyimide Photodegradation by Incorporation of Titanate Nanotubes into a Composite
Authors: Harito Christian , Bavykin Dmitry V , Yuliarto Brian , Dipojono Hermawan K , Walsh Frank C
Published: April 2020

The effect of UV light exposure on the properties of hexafluoroisopropylidene-diphthalic anhydride–oxydianiline (6FDA–ODA) polyimide (PI) and polyimide–titanate nanotube (TiNT/PI) composites has been studied using Raman spectroscopy, optical microscopy, nanoidentation and TEM. The degree of polymer photodegradation was estimated by measuring the change in affinity to a positively charged dye (methylene blue, MB). The mechanism of photoassisted transformations in polyimides usually involves scission of polymer chains accompanied by appearance of active radicals, which undergo further rapid transformations to more stable phenol, amine, and carboxylic functional groups. The accumulation of these groups can increase the degree of adsorption of charged dyes in the photodegraded polymer. It was found that neat PI showed a significantly increased capacity to adsorb MB after irradiation with UV, reaching a plateau after 1 h. In contrast, TiNT/PI composite demonstrated a much slower rise in concentration of adsorbed MB even after 4 h of UV exposure. Raman spectra indicated cleavage of C=O and C–F bonds in PI while only the C–F bond was damaged in TiNT/PI. Shorter cracks (≈ 40 µm long) appeared in TiNT/PI composites whereas macro cracks (> 100 µm) were visible in neat PI after 3 h of UV exposure. Brittleness was studied by comparing plasticity index which varied from 0 to 1 (0 corresponding to the most brittle material and 1 the most ductile one). Plasticity index reduced by 51% and 2% for PI and TiNT/PI, respectively after 3 h UV irradiation, indicating that TiNT can protect underlying PI from further damage. The hardness of neat PI decreased whereas, for TiNT/PI, it increased under UV, suggesting crosslinking of broken polymer chains with nanotubes.
How procuratorial judicial and police misconduct can get us foreign researchers in trouble
Authors: Tabaee Damavandi Pardis
Published: April 2020

Police misconduct has soared in recent years particularly in locations that are unable to handle the cases. Procuratorial and judicial misconduct usually follow due to strict correlations between the public entities. This is an abuse of court time and proceedings as well as of members of the public. An authority figure is supposed to provide a duty of care towards everyone regardless of religion, background, profession or word of mouth. Most of these cases are impacted by the mental state of authority figures. A study conducted recently shows that psychopathy is raising in number in certain jobs. It is unsafe to attend court nowadays due to continuous miscarriages of justice. How could someone who was a victim of assault by a police officer simply for rejecting be convicted of a similar violent crime? And what are behaviours that identify misconduct at those high levels?

There is substantial interest in identifying biobehavioral dimensions of individual variation that cut across heterogenous disorder categories, and computational models can play a major role in advancing this goal. In this report, we focused on efficiency of evidence accumulation (EEA), a computationally characterized variable derived from sequential sampling models of choice tasks. We created an EEA factor from three behavioral tasks in the UCLA Phenomics dataset (n=272), which includes healthy participants (n=130) as well participants with schizophrenia (n=50), bipolar disorder (n=49), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (n=43). We found that the EEA factor was significantly reduced in all three disorders, and that it correlated with an overall severity score for psychopathology as well as self-report measures of impulsivity. Although EEA was significantly correlated with general intelligence, it remained associated with psychopathology and symptom scales even after controlling for intelligence scores. Taken together, these findings suggest EEA is a promising computationally-characterized dimension of neurocognitive variation, with diminished EEA conferring transdiagnostic vulnerability to psychopathology.
The nature of metacognitive inefficiency in perceptual decision making
Authors: Shekhar Medha , Rahnev Dobromir
Published: April 2020

Humans have the metacognitive ability to judge the accuracy of their own decisions via confidence ratings. A substantial body of research has demonstrated that human metacognition is fallible but it remains unclear how metacognitive inefficiency should be incorporated into a mechanistic model of confidence generation. Here we show that, contrary to what is typically assumed, metacognitive inefficiency depends on the level of confidence. We found that, across five different datasets and four different measures of metacognition, metacognitive ability decreased with higher confidence ratings. To understand the nature of this effect, we collected a large dataset of 20 subjects completing 2,800 trials each and providing confidence ratings on a continuous scale. The results demonstrated a robustly nonlinear zROC curve with downward curvature, despite a decades-old assumption of linearity. This pattern of results was reproduced by a new mechanistic model of confidence generation, which assumes the existence of lognormally-distributed metacognitive noise. The model outperformed competing models either lacking metacognitive noise altogether or featuring Gaussian metacognitive noise. Further, the model could generate a measure of metacognitive ability which was independent of confidence levels. These findings establish an empirically-validated model of confidence generation, have significant implications about measures of metacognitive ability, and begin to reveal the underlying nature of metacognitive inefficiency.
Mapping the semantic organization of the English odor vocabulary using natural language data
Authors: Hörberg Thomas , Larsson Maria , Olofsson Jonas
Published: April 2020

Olfactory experiences are hard to verbalize, partly because most languages lack devoted odor vocabularies. Yet, there is a need for a standardized odor vocabulary, but no descriptive system for describing the full range of odor experiences has been agreed upon. Many studies of the English odor vocabulary have been based on perceptual data such as odor-descriptor ratings, thereby being limited to a small set of pre-selected descriptors. In the present study, we present a data-driven approach that automatically identifies odor descriptors in English, and then derive their semantic organization on the basis of their distributions in natural texts. Olfactory descriptors are automatically identified on the basis of their degree of olfactory association, and their semantic organization is derived with a distributional-semantic word embedding model. We identify and derive the semantic organization of the descriptors most frequently used to describe odors and flavors in English, both within and across source-based, abstract and evaluative descriptor categories. Our method is to a large extent able to capture semantic differences between descriptors related to aroma and flavor qualities, rather than e.g. functional or linguistic aspects, in that it primarily differentiates descriptors with respect to valence and edibility, and the semantic space derived from it is qualitatively similar to a space derived from perceptual data.
A systematic review on the current conceptualisations of successful psychopathy

Published: April 2020

The concept of successful psychopathy has been debated for years, however, there is yet no unified approach to its definition and conceptualisation. Such individuals are said to encompass the core traits associated with psychopathy, whilst continuing to function in society, potentially having superior levels of functioning. This review assimilates the existing literature related to successful psychopathy in the general population. An extensive systematic review was performed using four databases, and two key concepts; namely success and psychopathy. After removing duplicates and articles deemed irrelevant, 180 papers were appraised against the review’s inclusion and exclusion criteria. The remaining 19 papers underwent quality control by two raters. A narrative synthesis was performed. The key factors associated with the successful psychopathy construct were fearlessness, stress immunity, social potency, normal or superior cognitive performance, professional achievement, stable socioeconomic status, leadership, pride, and aversion to punishment during conflict. Inconsistent findings were considered a result of the variations in psychopathy measurements used, and a lack of an agreed definition of success. Recommendations are provided for the establishment of a unified framework, and the need for a moderated measure of successful psychopathy to allow more systematic research into the notion of successful psychopathy in the general populations.
Fine-tuning language discrimination: Bilingual and Monolingual infants’ detection of language switches

The ability to differentiate between two languages sets the stage for bilingual learning. Infants can discriminate languages when hearing long passages, but language switches often occur on short time scales with few cues to language identity. As bilingual infants begin learning sequences of sounds and words, how do they detect the dynamics of two languages? In two studies using the head-turn preference procedure, we investigated whether infants (n = 44) can discriminate languages at the level of individual words. In Study 1, monolingual and bilingual 8- to 12-month-olds were tested on their detection of single-word language switching in lists of words (e.g., “dog… lait [fr. milk]”). In Study 2, they were tested on language switching within sentences (e.g., “Do you like the lait?”). Infants detected language switching within sentences, but not in lists of words. Moreover, there was no difference between bilingual and monolingual infants’ performance. Based on these contrasting effects for natural sentences versus lists of words, we conclude that infants may detect language switches more successfully if preceded by sequences of sounds and words in a single language. The ability to detect disruptions in such sequences is likely important in supporting the beginnings of bilingual proficiency.
Don’t get it or don’t spread it: Comparing self-interested versus prosocial motivations for COVID-19 prevention behaviors

Published: April 2020

COVID-19 prevention behaviors may be seen as self-interested or prosocial. Using American samples from MTurk and Prolific (total n = 6,850), we investigated which framing is more effective—and motivation is stronger—for fostering prevention behavior intentions. We evaluated messaging that emphasized personal, public, or personal and public benefits of prevention. In initial studies (conducted March 14-16, 2020), the Public treatment was more effective than the Personal treatment, and no less effective than the Personal+Public treatment. In additional studies (conducted April 17-30, 2020), all three treatments were similarly effective. Across all these studies, the perceived public threat of coronavirus was also more strongly associated with prevention intentions than the perceived personal threat. Furthermore, people who behaved prosocially in incentivized economic games years before the pandemic had greater prevention intentions. Finally, in a field experiment (conducted December 21-23, 2020), we used our three messaging strategies to motivate contact-tracing app signups (n = 152,556 newsletter subscribers). The design of this experiment prevents strong causal inference; however, the results provide suggestive evidence that the Personal+Public treatment may have been more effective than the Personal or Public treatment. Together, our results highlight the importance of prosocial motives for COVID-19 prevention.
Understanding the Robotic Restaurant Experience: A Multiple Case Study
Authors: Seyitoğlu Faruk , Ivanov Stanislav Hristov
Published: April 2020

The purpose of this study is to investigate the robotic restaurant experience of travellers around the world and understand the components of robotic restaurant experience. Following this aim, travellers who had experienced a robotic restaurant were purposefully selected as a sample group for the study. Since the robotic restaurants are limited around the world, multiple case study method has been chosen to gather richer data. A user-generated content technique which is a form of qualitative case study method has been benefited. The data of this study were gathered between 18-29 November 2019 from travellers’ reviews (n=587) describing experiences they had between February 2013-November 2019. The results reveal a model of components of robotic restaurant experience that include seven main themes: attraction for kids, robotic system, service quality, memorable experience, ambience related attributes, food related attributes (economic value and gastronomic aspects), and deficiencies (in robotic system, in service quality, in ambience related attributes and in food related attributes). This paper is first to investigate the robotic restaurant experience of travellers around the world. Moreover, it contributes to the research on restaurant experience and offers a model of components of the robotic restaurant experience.
Assessing the Role of Social Stigma in Relation to the Concept of Social Inclusion and Exclusion
Authors: Dhakal Sachita Sharma
Published: April 2020

Every society has some sort of hierarchy, division or categories. Some underlies within the structures of society, while others are created by the members of the society. Stigma is an unavoidable side of human society where ideal, division and discrimination-less society is just an imagination. This article argues that stigma in various form is generated, accepted in group, and becomes “common mind” to isolate any “other”, offering unequal distribution of opportunity and subjected to the social exclusion. It becomes matter of “we” and “other” and still left silence to become public concern.

A comprehensive assessment of clinical, clinico-psychopathological, neurological, neuropsychological and instrumental examinations in a single study allows for a more detailed study of cognitive impairments in patients with CSC at a long-term period (12-15 months) after the transplantation of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells.

Purpose. Assessment of cognitive impairments in patients with hematological malignancies at a long-term period after the transplantation of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells.

Materials and methods. Clinical, psychopathological, clinical, psychological, neuropsychological, neurophysiological and neurovisual methods were used to examine 36 patients with various hematological malignancies in the period of 12-15 months after allo-HSCT. Statistical data analysis was performed using the methods of descriptive statistics, analysis of contingency tables and dispersive (with repeated measurements) analysis.

Results and discussion. At a long-term period of the study (12-15 months), it was found that cognitive impairments are largely eliminated under the influence of a temporary factor, as well as the treatment of associated conditions (mental disorders, infectious complications, etc.). However, their level does not reach the normal (or close to them) values characteristics of the pre-transplant stage. Among the causes of this phenomenon, mention may be made of the organic lesions of the central nervous system, which are recorded during EEG, CEP, MRI / CT studies, and toxic encephalopathy due to exposure to chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressive drugs.

Conclusion. The dynamics of cognitive impairments in general reflects the dynamics of the multifactor effects of various hazards accompanying the transplantation of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells on the central nervous system. In this case, it can be stated with confidence that the allo-HSCT procedure in the overwhelming majority of cases does not lead to critical cognitive impairments.
