Psychological Distress and Alcohol Use in College Students of Color: Social Support’s Moderating Properties
Authors: Prouty Hannah , Lauren  , Hussaini Halima , Sy John , Sanders Steven Michael
Published: November 2023

Alcohol use is prevalent among college students. Research has found that psychological distress in the form of depression, anxiety, or loneliness has been consistently associated with greater alcohol use. Because Students of Color (SoC) disproportionately experience greater psychological distress than White students, it is critical to determine buffers against psychological distress and subsequent alcohol use. Previous literature found that social support can protect against the effects of psychological distress and weaken its link with alcohol use. This study aimed to determine the moderating effect of social support in the relation between psychological distress and alcohol use among SoC. College Students of Color from across the U.S. (n = 211, Mage = 27.51, SD = 9.63) were recruited to answer an online survey. Psychological distress variables (i.e., depression, anxiety, and loneliness) were positively associated with alcohol use. However, moderation analysis did not find any form of social support to moderate the relation between psychological distress variables and alcohol use. Future research needs to identify other protective factors against alcohol use to support SoC in their academic journey.

Published: November 2023

Background Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a relatively new diagnosis that can affect individuals across the lifespan. Existing literature indicates that both anxiety and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms are highly prevalent among individuals with eating disorders, including ARFID and anorexia nervosa (AN). However, most research is completed in child and adolescent populations, particularly for ARFID. The present study investigates the relationship between traits of ASD and anxiety with picky eating and disordered eating, reflecting subclinical eating pathology, in an adult non-clinical sample. Methods Participants (N=160) were recruited through an advertisement on Sona Systems® and through online social media groups pertinent to restrictive eating conditions. Participants were predominantly White, female, and aged between 18 and 33 years (M=20.96). Participants completed four self-report questionnaires, measuring anxiety (GAD-7), ASD (CATI), disordered eating (EDE-Q), and picky eating (APEQ). Results Findings indicated that higher scores of anxiety were positively associated with both picky eating and disordered eating scores. In contrast, traits of ASD only correlated with higher picky eating scores and did not correlate with disordered eating scores. In terms of traits of ASD more specifically, higher sensory sensitivity and difficulties with social interaction scores were associated with higher picky eating scores. Conclusions Given an association between picky and disordered eating and anxiety, findings suggest that anxiety may influence picking and disordered eating, and/or that these eating disturbances may contribute to higher anxiety. Traits of ASD were significantly associated with picky eating in an adult sample, possibly reflecting high rates of ASD in eating disturbances at a clinical level, such as ARFID, in child and adolescent populations. As sensory sensitivity and social interaction correlated with picky eating, these may represent potential treatment targets in picky eating and ARFID interventions for adults, especially for those with ASD, although research is needed in clinical populations. It may be important to screen individuals for anxiety and ASD who are presenting to services with eating disturbances, both at subclinical and clinical levels.

Published: November 2023

Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have rendered image-synthesis models capable of producing complex artworks that are nearly indistinguishable from human-made works. Here we present the first quantitative assessment of human perception and preference for art generated by OpenAI's DALL·E 2, a leading AI tool for art creation. Participants were presented with pairs of artworks, one human-made and one AI-generated, in either a preference task or a discrimination task. Results revealed a significant preference for AI-generated artworks. At the same time, a separate group of participants were above-chance at detecting the AI-generated work within each pair, indicating a perceptible distinction between human and artificial creative works. This shift in art preference to favour synthetic creations is poised to revolutionise the way we think about art and its value to human society, prompting reflections on authorship, authenticity, and human creativity in the era of generative AI.
Heterosis from eucalypt single and multi-cross hybrids
Authors: Luo Jianzhong
Published: November 2023

Hybridizing is one of the most important ways to genetically improve eucalypts; especially to tropical species. Because of the high efficiency of asexual using hybrid heterosis, the current planting eucalypt varieties in most tropical areas in the world are hybrids. It’s well known that crossing different eucalypt species in different ways can create hybrids with different characters. But, it’s unclear what kind of species matings tend to create more heterosis. Here we systematically made and tested hybrids of: pure species by pure species (single cross), pure species by hybrids (three-way cross), hybrids by hybrids (double cross). The tropical eucalypt species we used as parents include: Eucalyptus urophylla, E. grandis, E. pellita, E. tereticornis and hybrids between them. The field testing results found: the overall performance of tree volume was: single cross > three way cross > intraspecies cross > double cross. Their 4-year advantages over intraspecies cross were: 29.9%, 8.0% and -12.5%. The coefficient of variation of the 4 types were: 55.3%, 61.2%, 64.0% and 67.1%. As for the survival rate, 4-year result was: double cross (72.6%) > three way cross (71.6%) > single cross (70.8%) > intraspecies cross (54.0%). This shows that the interspecies hybrids had similar environmental adaption, and they were all significantly higher than that of intraspecies cross. The single and multi-cross hybrids had similar coefficient of variation on survival rate. Combining with the results on family and individual tree level heterosis frequency and magnitude, we found that single-cross has more heterosis on volume growth while muti-cross has more heterosis on adaption. Genetic parameter analysis showed that single-cross hybrids have both high additive and high dominant heritability. But the heritability value on different species combinations can be very different. Three way-cross hybrids had the highest additive heritability, but very low dominant heritability. The double-cross hybrids had high dominant heritability, but very low additive heritability.
Feasibility of using Uruguayan Eucalyptus for sustainable timber connections
Authors: Passarella Diego , Bruzzone Gastón , Quagliotti Sebastián , Moya Laura
Published: November 2023

Uruguayan fast-growing Eucalyptus grandis has emerged as a promising sustainable material for structural building components. However, traditional methods for joining timber components, such as beams and columns, typically rely on metallic fasteners, and mass timber products like glued laminated timber often use adhesives. In response to growing environmental concerns over the past five years, researchers have explored the substitution of petroleum-based adhesives and metallic fasteners with wooden pegs or dowels. To create effective connections, these dowels must be fashioned from denser wood than the lamellae. The embedment strength of both woods with varying densities is a critical factor in the design of timber connections using fasteners. This paper presents the results of a structural performance analysis of fully eucalyptus dowelled connections, constructed by combining Eucalyptus grandis (? = 473.2 kg|m3, COV = 13.2 %) for the lamellae and Eucalyptus tereticornis (? = 1042.4 kg|m^3, COV = 3.2 %) for the dowel. The bending strength of dowels was determined for specimens with 15- and 18-mm diameters, yielding 173.0 MPa (COV = 10.7 %) and 184.0 MPa (COV = 8.3 %), respectively. Four series of connections were tested, varying the fiber orientation of the lamellae (longitudinal L, transversal T) and dowel diameter (15, 18), following the half-hole method described in ASTM D 5764 standard. The embedment strength values obtained for the connections are as follows: L-15 = 31.3 MPa (COV = 9.3 %), T-15 = 11.2 MPa (COV = 28.7 %), L-18 = 29.6 MPa (COV = 10.1 %), T-18 = 16.7 MPa (COV = 25.7 %). These results reveal that the longitudinal application of the load, aligned with the fiber orientation, exhibits approximately twice the strength of the transversal orientation, with less variability in the outcomes. Furthermore, a strong correlation with the lamellae density was observed, while no significant dependency on the dowel diameter was found. These findings represent a crucial initial step in characterizing and designing glue-free wood-wood connections. The utilization of different eucalyptus species presents a promising path for the development of connections that promote more sustainable timber construction systems.
The ideational dimension of the European Green Deal. Old ideas being repackaged?
Authors: Burgoński Piotr
Published: November 2023

The aim of this article is to answer the question of whether, and if so to what extent, the package of initiatives announced by the European Commission in 2019, called the European Green Deal (EGD), represents a new approach to the mechanistic, sustainability and environmental paradigms. The former two paradigms have provided the ideological foundations for many past actions, including European Union policies, while the latter one is in its nature an intellectual construct proposed for enactment. This study is focused on the ideational dimension and consisted of comparing the EGD with the aforementioned paradigms in four aspects: a) the way it understands human's relationship with nature, b) the way it views civilisational development, c) its attitude towards knowledge, science and technology, and d) in the axiology adopted. The study is based on the literature on the subject and the 27 EU documents from 2019–2022 constituting the EGD, which were examined using a qualitative content analysis method. The study demonstrated that there has been a change in all analysed aspects of the EGD, with the areas where material interests play a role being the least susceptible to it.

EVALUATION OF VESICOURETERAL REFLUX IN NEUROGENIC BLADDER DYSFUNCTION AND CHOICE OF TREATMENT STRATEGY
Authors: Nikitaiev Sergii V.
Published: November 2023

The aim of the research is to enhance the treatment outcomes of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) that arises in the context of neurogenic bladder dysfunction (NBD) by developing a systematically justified approach for selecting treatment strategies for patients and improving existing treatment methods accordingly.

Materials and Methods. A clinical examination was conducted on 279 patients with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) that occurred in the context of neurogenic bladder dysfunction (NBD). Out of these, 87 patients received conservative treatment. The study design employed was a longitudinal (prospective) case-control study. Randomization was not used. Inclusion criteria required the presence of VUR in patients concurrently with NBD. Patients with Grade V VUR were excluded from the study. Clinical and laboratory manifestations of VUR and its complications were studied and assessed. A comprehensive evaluation of the severity of VUR and treatment effectiveness was performed. Patients were divided into three groups based on the proposed system "Method for a Comprehensive Assessment of the Severity of Vesicoureteral Reflux Disease and Treatment Effectiveness."

Results. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) was most frequently observed in patients between the ages of 6 and 10, constituting 44.4% of the cases. VUR of Grade III-IV was more commonly diagnosed in patients under 5 years of age. Complaints related to urinary disorders tended to decrease or disappear with age (t= -0.1533; p=0.010). As patients grew older (after 7-8 years), the frequency of pyelonephritis exacerbations decreased (t= -0.1344; p=0.025). However, dilatation of the upper urinary tract (t=0.2157; p=0.001) and deterioration of kidney function (t=0.2354; p=0.001) were observed more frequently. Inflammation of the urinary tract occurred more frequently in women (t=0.1419; p=0.018), while renal function impairment due to VUR was more common in men (t= -0.1733; p=0.004).

Conclusions. Most clinical and laboratory manifestations of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) do not correlate with its grade. A reverse correlation was found between the grade of VUR and age, and a direct correlation with leukocyturia. Urinary disorders, leukocyturia, and the frequency of pyelonephritis exacerbations are components of VUR's clinical presentation that affect the quality of life and are among the first to change due to treatment, primarily through the normalization of bladder function. Clinical manifestations and complications of VUR negatively impact the quality of life in 66.2% of patients. The assessment of treatment effectiveness takes into account the grade of VUR and the complex of main clinical manifestations and complications, which can be considered using the proposed system "Method for a Comprehensive Assessment of the Severity of Vesicoureteral Reflux Disease and Treatment Effectiveness."

With the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles, the assignments  of combating them have also become significantly more relevant. Today, operational countermeasures against UAVs are of great importance. Modern UAVs are capable not only of conducting video reconnaissance in a certain area, but also of observing a specific object for a long time and striking it. After detecting and identifying UAVs by RLS, it is necessary to take measures to neutralize them. In the paper, a mathematical model of the evaluation of the dead zone of RLS working together for the effective detection of unmanned aerial vehicles was established and a comparison of the dead zone was made on concrete examples. The purpose of the research work is to solve the problem of effective placement of joint working RLS  by mathematical methods for nonobserved remaining part of them had minimal volume and to select the necessary placement scheme.

Published: November 2023

This work presents a comprehensive methodology for harnessing the capabilities of Large Language Models to address specific Natural Language Processing tasks, with a focus on Text Simplification. While LLMs have demonstrated their prowess in tackling a wide range of NLP challenges, their demanding computational requirements can render them impractical for real-time online inference. In response to this limitation, we suggest the concept of text distillation, a technique aimed at effectively transferring the knowledge stored within LLMs to more compact and computationally efficient neural networks.

On the example of a modified model of an infectious disease, which takes into account diffusion perturbations and the conditions of logistic dynamics of immunological cells, separate algorithms for the identification of diffusion scattering parameters in different settings of the corresponding inverse problems are proposed. A special step-by-step procedure for numerically asymptotic approximation of the solution of the corresponding singularly perturbed model problems with a delay has been modernized. It is noted that the effective identification of variable diffusion coefficients will provide more accurate forecasting of the dynamics of an infectious disease, which is important for improving the quality of decision-making regarding the use of various types of medical procedures.

У статті актуалізовано питання сучасного стану гендерної освіти у вітчизняних науково-педагогічних дослідженнях. Авторами визначено нормативні документи, що регулюють питання гендерної освіти та констатовано відсутність цілісного наукового доробку в цій площині, що ускладнює відображення суцільного контексту та обумовлює необхідність встановлення загальних тенденцій щодо висвітлення питання гендерної освіти у сучасному науково-педагогічному дискурсі. На підставі вивчення та узагальнення досвіду вчених, які сьогодні вивчають питання гендерної освіти, виявлені тенденції що значно гальмують практичне впровадження принципів гендерної рівності в освіту: неузгодженість поняттєво-категорійного апарату у публікаціях із гендерної тематики; різновекторність артикульованих цілей, штучне, спрощене звуження гендерної проблематики у освітній царині. Утім констатовано, що вчені продовжують вивчати питання гендерної освіти, як феномену, що має міждисциплінарний характер; та продовжують аналізувати й поглиблювати понятійний апарат проблеми

Published: November 2023

Background:High-molecular β-D-glucans of basidiomycetes modify the immune response and indirectly affect antitumor mechanisms by stimulating the activity of various immune cells and signaling pathways. However, the severity of the immune activity of β-D-glucans depends on many factors, which indicates the need to study them to obtain standardized agents of various pathogenetic directions. Objective:Evaluation of the antitumor activity of the chitin-glucan complex in the form of aqueous suspensions obtained from the fungi Ganoderma lucidum, Grifola frondosa, and Phallus impudicus using the Ehrlich adenocarcinoma (ACE) model.Methods:The work was carried out on male F1(C57Bl×CBA) hybrid mice. Animals were transplanted subcutaneously with ACE at a dose of 106 cells in 0.5 ml of Hank's solution. Animals were given prophylactic oral administration of suspensions of fungi for 10 days before inoculation with ACE. After inoculation with ACE, suspensions of fungi were orally administered to animals of these groups for 28 days for therapeutic purposes. From the 6th day after transplantation of the tumor, its volume was recorded in mm3 according to three linear dimensions. Results:Survival in all groups of animals within 28 days after inoculation with ACE was 100%. Administration of aqueous suspensions of Phallus impudicus, Ganoderma lucidum, and Grifola frondosa fungi to animals with ACE compensated for metabolic disturbances in the body, which increased the dynamics of their weight gain. However, the weight of these animals on the 28th day of the experiment did not reach the weight of animals that were not transplanted with ACE. Against the background of the introduction of suspensions of these fungi to animals from 6 to 11 days, a statistically significant (p<0.05) effect of inhibition of the development of the ECA volume was obtained, which did not depend on the type of fungi studied.Conclusion:Aqueous suspensions of these fungi have a similar effect of inhibiting the development of ACE. This allows us to consider the chitin-glucan components of the studied mushrooms as substances with indirect antitumor activity for their standardization and optimization of their use for prophylactic or therapeutic purposes. Keywords:β-D-glucans, chitin-glucan complex, basidiomycetes, Ehrlich's adenocarcinoma.

Recusal as a Guarantee for the Impartiality of the Ecclesiastical Court
Authors: Redzynia Adrian
Published: November 2023

The article examines the mechanism of recusing a judge based on the principle of judicial independence in impartial administration of justice. First, attention is drawn to the reasons for recusal, followed by the conclusion that it involves a judge who is the object of a justified suspicion of bias. Next, the author presents the procedure of excluding a judge from adjudicating in a trial, with a special emphasis on the authority competent to conduct incidental proceedings for recusing a judge. Last, the consequences of accepting a request to recuse a judge are presented: the change of a judge, not of the degree of the trial, and the validity of procedural acts performed before and after an application for recusal has been filed. The author raises a number of questions and offers some clarification for the legislator on the mechanism of recusal. The institution of judicial recusal is a pillar and guarantee of a fair and impartial ecclesiastical process.
Conventional or Shariah Compliant Investment: Performance Evaluation of Mutual Funds in Pakistan
Authors: Arif Unbreen , Majeed Muhammad Irfan
Published: November 2023

The current study was initiated to compare the performance of conventional and Shariah-compliant mutual funds in Pakistan, keeping in view the contradictory opinions found in the literature in this regard. The data utilized to conduct the analysis covered the time span 2013-2021. Assessment of risk and return tradeoff  was made with three ratios, namely Jenson’s alpha, Treynor ratio, and Sharpe ratio by evaluating the monthly returns of conventional and Shariah-compliant mutual funds. The findings revealed that Shariah-compliant mutual funds outperformed conventional funds in terms of absolute risk measure, higher Sharpe ratio, and low coefficient of variation. While, in terms of funds’ exposure to systematic risk, mixed results were obtained for both types of funds. The results produced sufficient information about the risks and returns associated with the two kinds of mutual funds which would enable fund managers and investors to make informed decisions while selecting the best mutual fund, thus generating maximum returns and with minimum risks.
La gestión fiscal de Barranquilla, 2000 – 2021
Authors: Bonet-Morón Jaime , Ayala-García Jhorland , Patiño-Osorno Juan Manuel
Published: November 2023

El objetivo de este estudio es describir los principales indicadores fiscales de Barranquilla durante el período 2000-2021, así como explorar los posibles factores que podrían estar detrás del comportamiento observado. El análisis se realiza comparando la evolución de las principales variables fiscales del distrito con las de las principales ciudades y las ciudades intermedias. Se observa que Barranquilla ha mostrado un crecimiento de los ingresos y gastos superior al de las principales ciudades del país durante las últimas cuatro administraciones públicas. Este desempeño se explica principalmente por el dinamismo en el recaudo de ingresos propios y en el fortalecimiento de la capacidad para el diseño y ejecución de proyectos, lo cual le ha permitido un mayor crecimiento de la inversión pública local. No obstante, el crecimiento de los gastos ha estado consistentemente por encima del de los ingresos, generando desbalances fiscales continuos en los años posteriores a 2008. Dichos déficits han sido cubiertos principalmente con deuda, y han experimentado un crecimiento acelerado desde 2017, que pone en entredicho la sostenibilidad de este modelo de crecimiento de gasto. Nuestros ejercicios de simulación y proyección sugieren que la ciudad requerirá hacer un ajuste en el gasto fiscal o buscar alternativas de ingresos propios para evitar caer en una situación de insostenibilidad en el mediano plazo.
The impact of directionality and speech event type on target speech compression/expansion in simultaneous interpreting
Authors: Bendazzoli Claudio
Published: November 2023

Simultaneous interpreting is a complex cognitive activity that can be influenced by several factors, including source speech features (e.g., delivery rate), contextual variables, working languages, and directionality (e.g., interpreting from/into one’s native or foreign language), among others. Owing to the time constraints inherent in this interpreting mode, simultaneous interpreters must make swift decisions on how to best deliver the original message into the target language. Although explicitation is considered a universal feature of translation and interpreting, it is also true that part of (redundant) information is eventually omitted. In fact, as opposed to translated texts, interpreting corpora show a general trend of interpreted speeches being shorter than source speeches (in terms of number of words). However, a closer look at the Directionality in Simultaneous Interpreting Corpus (DIRSI) partially disconfirms such a general trend. The DIRSI corpus consists of three medical conferences mediated by simultaneous interpreters (English/Italian). Each conference is analyzed in terms of speech length to ascertain to what extent directionality and speech event type may have an impact on the interpreters’ output. Results show that directionality cannot always be linked to target speech expansion, whereas the type of speech event is likely to play a role. In particular, this applies to the interpretation of source speeches under 500 words, as interpreters adopt optimization strategies to manage politeness, source speech ungrammaticality, and integrate contextual cues.
Non-fluency and language-pair specificity in Chinese-English consecutive interpreting: A corpus-driven study
Authors: Zou Bing , Wang Binhua
Published: November 2023

Language-pair specificity, which refers to linguistic and cultural differences between the language pair, has been hypothesized as one of the variables shaping the interpreting performance and product. The current study adopts a corpus-driven paralinguistic approach to testifying the language-pair specificity hypothesis. The corpus is a bilingual parallel corpus of Chinese-English Interpreting for Premier Press Conferences, which consists of 200,000 words/characters in total. The original and interpreted discourses are aligned at the sentential level and annotated at linguistic, paralinguistic, and extra-linguistic levels. The paralinguistic analysis focuses on non-fluency, specifically the different types of pauses and self-repairs. It is found that a majority of non-fluencies in the interpreted utterances are syntax-driven, which means that most of the pauses and self-repairs in Chinese-English interpreting are related to syntactical structures in the original speeches. The finding implies that language-pair specificity should be considered an important variable in research and training of interpreting between syntactically-contrastive languages.
A Dutch discourse marker in interpreter-mediated police interviewing with drafting: A corpus-based approach to dialogue interpreting
Authors: Defrancq Bart , Verliefde Sofie
Published: November 2023

This study systematically analyses the use of a Dutch discourse marker (dus) by nine interpreters assisting in 12 police interviews. It is an attempt to approach dialogue interpreting with the analytical framework of corpus-based linguistics and a data collection that can stand the comparison with existing corpora of mostly simultaneous interpreting. In terms of frequencies, the results show that interpreters do not seem to divert from general usage patterns for spoken Dutch. However, their use of dus is mostly disconnected from the speech they are interpreting. While explicitation seems to be at play in a certain number of cases, the bulk of instances serves interaction coordination purposes. A substantial number of instances with a filler function are also found, where interpreters struggle to understand the source speech or to articulate their interpretation. Finally, some interesting cases of so-called discursive control enforced by dus are observed, further confirming the special relationship interpreting holds with drafting of written records during the interview.
Combining corpora with other language resources and tools in pedagogic audiovisual translation.
Authors: Ivanovska-Naskova Ruska
Published: November 2023

This study focuses on the potential of combining various types of language resources and tools in pedagogic audiovisual translation in university level courses. It argues that the direct use of ad-hoc corpora compiled by students can be combined with other tools such as bilingual dictionaries, online resources and subtitling software in performing concrete translation tasks. The study reports on the positive results of the translation activity conducted with students of the degree course in the Italian Language and Literature program at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje in 2018. The first part of the study reflects on certain tendencies in the field of intersection between language pedagogy and audiovisual translation and presents concrete examples of this type of pedagogic tasks applied in teaching Italian as a foreign language. The central part of the study presents various aspects and stages of the activity: its aim, context, choice of video material, the complexity of the language of the videos, the tools used, the translation strategies, the creation of glossary, the revision of the subtitles and the discussion of the feedback. The study concludes with the results of the questionnaire and potential prospects for enhancing the task and reuse of the translated material for compilation of parallel corpus.

Published: November 2023

The global land base is under increasing pressure to provide food for a growing population. This report describes how increasing population, income, and agricultural productivity may affect global production and consumption of crops and food products by 2050. Results show that in an income-driven food demand scenario, production of world crop calories increases by 47 percent from 2011 to 2050. Demand for food calories and crop calories increases over time in all scenarios, with most of the adjustment through increases in crop yield (intensification). The amount of cropland also increases (extensification) but less on a percentage basis
