Published: May 2021

Background : Superior shoulder motion with rotator cuff activation are essential for the performance of the throwing athletes. The present study compared the novel beginning movement load training (BMLT) and popular throwers ten program regarding the training efficacy of baseball throwers. We hypothesized that the BMLT contributed the superior training efficacy than popular throwers ten program. Methods : Forty adult baseball players were randomized into study group and control group equally. In study group, the cyclic shoulder motion was repeatedly operated 3 days in a week and lasted for 6 weeks using three different BMLT training machines. As for control group, three popular cyclic training in the throwers ten program were adopted for the shoulder trainings as the same protocol in study group. The evaluations before and after training included the static range of motion (ROM), the maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVICs) of the target muscle (pectoralis major, middle deltoid and supraspinatus) and throwing velocity. Result : After 6-week course, study group had significant wider static ROM in saggital adduction (p=0.034), coronal internal rotation (p=0.038) and external rotation (p=0.04) than in control group. The maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) ratio of middle deltoid/supraspinatus was significant lower in study group (Study : Control = 1.14±0.76 : 3.56 ±5.57, p = 0.044) which indicated the enhanced supraspinatus maximal contraction in the study group after training. In addition, the study group had significant improvement in throwing speed (117±10 vs 109±10 Km/hr, p=0.031). Conclusion : The BMLT contributed the superiority in range of motion, recruitment of supraspinatus and throwing velocity than the popular thrower`s ten program. It could be a favourable training for the overhead activity.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate surgical and oncological outcomes after surgery in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus METHODS: A total of 58 patients from 2002 to 2019 underwent radical nephrectomy and IVC thrombectomy at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, were retrospectively reviewed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized to compare survival benefits between cohorts and Cox regression to evaluate predictors of patient survival. RESULTS: There were 5 (8.6%), 21 (36.2%), 23 (39.7%) and 9 (15.5%) patients with tumor thrombus level I, II, III and IV respectively. The major complications (Clavien 3-5) were observed in 15 patients (25.8%) and 80% were patients with high thrombus level (III-IV). There was 9% mortality (5 patients): 2 intraoperatively and 3 postoperatively. Median follow-up was 15 months (IQR:5-41). Two-year overall survival (OS) was 80% and 75% in all patients and pN0M0 cohort, respectively. There was significant difference in OS among each IVC thrombus level cohort (p<0.02). Two-year OS of metastatic RCC patients was 67% and not significantly different when compared to non-metastatic cohort (p=0.12). On multivariate analysis, only sarcomatoid dedifferentiation was associated with OS (p=0.04). Disease-free survival was not significantly different among thrombus-level cohorts (p=0.65). CONCLUSION: Our study suggested that surgical treatment for RCC with IVC thrombus provided acceptable OS outcomes, even in a small volume experience. Although the survival was significantly reduced with higher IVC thrombus level cohort, the level of thrombus itself was not an independent factor. Only sarcomatoid dedifferentiation was a predictor for OS after radical nephrectomy and tumor thrombectomy.
A Non-Field Analytical Method for Solving Some Nonlinear Problems in Heat Transfer
Authors: Kulish Vladimir , Sláma Pavel
Published: May 2021

This paper presents an extension of the non-field analytical method – known as the method of Kulish – to some nonlinear problems in heat transfer. In view of the fact that solving nonlinear problems is very complicated in general, the extension of the method is presented in the form of several important illustrative examples. Two classes of problems are considered: first are the problems, in which the heat equation contains nonlinear terms, while the second type of the problems includes some problems with nonlinear boundary conditions. From the practical viewpoint, the case considered in Section 4 is of the greatest interest. In that section, it is shown that, for complex heat transfer problems, where applications of the non-field method are practically impossible due to a large volume of necessary computations, it is still possible to analyse the solution behaviour and automatically determine similarity criteria for the limiting values of the parameters. Wherever possible the obtained solutions are compared with known solutions obtained by other methods. The practical advantages of the non-field method over other analytical methods are emphasised in each case.

A seamless spatiotemporal machine learning framework for automated prediction, uncertainty assessment, and analysis of land use / land cover (LULC) dynamics is presented. The framework includes: (1) harmonization and preprocessing of high-resolution spatial and spatiotemporal covariate datasets (GLAD Landsat, NPP/VIIRS) including 5 million harmonized LUCAS and CORINE Land Cover-derived training samples, (2) model building based on spatial k-fold cross-validation and hyper-parameter optimization, (3) prediction of the most probable class, class probabilities and uncertainty per pixel, (4) LULC change analysis on time-series of produced maps. The spatiotemporal ensemble model was fitted by combining random forest, gradient boosted trees, and artificial neural network, with logistic regressor as meta-learner. The results show that the most important covariates for mapping LULC in Europe are: seasonal aggregates of Landsat green and near-infrared bands, multiple Landsat-derived spectral indices, and elevation. Spatial cross-validation of the model indicates consistent performance across multiple years with 62%, 70%, and 87% accuracy when predicting 33 (level-3), 14 (level-2), and 5 classes (level-1); with artificial surface classes such as 'airports' and 'railroads' showing the lowest match with validation points. The spatiotemporal model outperforms spatial models on known-year classification by 2.7% and unknown-year classification by 3.5%. Results of the accuracy assessment using 48,365 independent test samples shows 87% match with the validation points. Results of time-series analysis (time-series of LULC probabilities and NDVI images) suggest gradual deforestation trends in large parts of Sweden, the Alps, and Scotland. An advantage of using spatiotemporal ML is that the fitted model can be used to predict LULC in years that were not included in its training dataset, allowing generalization to past and future periods, e.g. to predict land cover for years prior to 2000 and beyond 2020. The generated land cover time-series data stack (ODSE-LULC), including the training points, is publicly available via the Open Data Science (ODS)-Europe Viewer.
Effects of first- and third-person perspectives created using a head-mounted display on dart-throwing accuracy
Authors: Ueyama Yuki , Harada Masanori
Published: May 2021

The first-person perspective (1PP) and third-person perspective (3PP) have both been adopted in video games. The 1PP can induce a strong sense of immersion, and the 3PP allows players to perceive distances easily. Virtual reality (VR) technologies have also adopted both perspectives to facilitate skill acquisition. However, how 1PP and 3PP views affect motor skills in the real world, as opposed to in games and virtual environments, remains unclear. This study examined the effects of the 1PP and 3PP on real-world dart-throwing accuracy after head-mounted display (HMD)-based practice tasks involving either the 1PP or 3PP. The 1PP group showed poorer dart-throwing performance, whereas the 3PP task had no effect on performance. Furthermore, while the effect of the 1PP task persisted for some time, that of task 3PP disappeared immediately. Therefore, the effects of 1PP VR practice tasks on motor control transfer more readily to the real world than do those of 3PP tasks.
Portfolio selection using the multiple attribute decision making model
Authors: S. Daugherty Mary , Jithendranathan Thadavillil , O. Vang David
Published: May 2021

This paper uses a Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) model to improve the out-of-sample performance of a naïve asset allocation model. Under certain conditions, the naïve model has out-performed other portfolio optimization models, but it also has been shown to increase the tail risk. The MADM model uses a set of attributes to rank the assets and is flexible with the attributes that can be used in the ranking process. The MADM model assigns weights to each attribute and uses these weights to rank assets in terms of their desirability for inclusion in a portfolio. Using the MADM model, assets are ranked based on the attributes, and unlike the naïve model, only the top 50 percent of assets are included in the portfolio at any point in time. This model is tested using both developed and emerging market stock indices. In the case of developed markets, the MADM model had 24.04 percent higher return and 53.66 percent less kurtosis than the naïve model. In the case of emerging markets, the MADM model return is 90.16 percent higher than the naïve model, but with almost similar kurtosis.

Authors: Huang Mian , Wang Jian , Nicholas Stephen , Maitland Elizabeth , Guo Ziyue
Published: May 2021

By applying advanced health information technology to the health care field, health informatization helps optimize health resource allocation, improve health care services, and realize universal health coverage. COVID-19 has tested the status quo of China’s health informatization, revealing challenges to the health care system. This viewpoint evaluates the development, status quo, and practice of China’s health informatization, especially during COVID-19, and makes recommendations to address the health informatization challenges. We collected, assessed, and evaluated data on the development of China’s health informatization from five perspectives—health information infrastructure, information technology (IT) applications, financial and intellectual investment, health resource allocation, and standard system—and discussed the status quo of the internet plus health care service pattern during COVID-19. The main data sources included China’s policy documents and national plans on health informatization, commercial and public welfare sources and websites, public reports, institutional reports, and academic papers. In particular, we extracted data from the 2019 National Health Informatization Survey released by the National Health Commission in China. We found that China developed its health information infrastructure and IT applications, made significant financial and intellectual informatization investments, and improved health resource allocations. Tested during COVID-19, China’s current health informatization system, especially the internet plus health care system, has played a crucial role in monitoring and controlling the pandemic and allocating medical resources. However, an uneven distribution of health resources and insufficient financial and intellectual investment continue to challenge China’s health informatization. China’s rapid development of health informatization played a crucial role during COVID-19, providing a reference point for global pandemic prevention and control. To further promote health informatization, China’s health informatization needs to strengthen top-level design, increase investment and training, upgrade the health infrastructure and IT applications, and improve internet plus health care services.

This paper is a study about a literary work, Gaguritan Danghyang Nirartha (GDN), which is taken up from the book Sedjarah Danghyang Nirartha, wrote by Ida Bagus Putu Bek, printed by Pustaka Balimas (1961). This literary work is written in Balinese, in the form of a song (tembang). GDN told about a historical event of Danghyang Nirartha, who well known as a spiritualist in the Hindu religion. In about of his historical event, it told particularly when he was in Bali, where he had well come in the society. He met with Bendesa Mas in Mas village, and there Danghyang Nirartha purified two persons who became bhagawan (holy man), namely: I Bendesa Mas and Kiyayi Dauh Panulisan. And then he invited by the King to come to Gelgel palace, met the King of Gelgel. There Danghyang Nirartha got big honor from the King and appointed as a priest (bhagawanta) of the Kingdom. The purpose of this paper is to examine the literary work GDN, by looking at values: social-religious values, sociological, and moral values. In the sense of the theoretical approach, the content analysis model is used in this study, which is taken from Suwardi Endraswara (2003). As a result, in this study can be found some values: Hindu religion values, sociological values, and moral etic values, which are very useful to become better in the living of the society.

Mangroves are a diverse group of highly salt-tolerant woody plants, which grow in the inter-tidal zones in tropical and subtropical latitudes. Despite its unique services to the people, coastal and marine systems, mangroves have become one of the most rapidly disappearing ecosystems in the world. This paper reviews the available information on distribution, current status and challenges of mangroves in Sri Lanka. Today, around 160 km2 of mangrove vegetation is available in Sri Lanka and distributed mainly in Jaffna, Batticaloa, Kalpitiya, Rekawa and Trincomalee and is composed of 21 species of true mangroves and 24 species of mangrove associates. Mangroves in the island have been adversely affected due to the numerous anthropogenic activities, including land reclamation, tourism, coastal aquaculture and agriculture and other industrial activities etc. Proper conservations of mangroves are urgently required to the island to avoid further decline of mangrove ecosystem. It is imperative to evaluate policies, legal instruments and development strategies to effectively protect this valuable ecosystem.

OBJECTIVE

To examine longitudinal and dose-dependent associations of dietary glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), and fiber with body weight and glycemic status during 3-year weight loss maintenance (WLM) in adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In this secondary analysis we used pooled data from the PREVention of diabetes through lifestyle Intervention and population studies in Europe and around the World (PREVIEW) randomized controlled trial, which was designed to test the effects of four diet and physical activity interventions. A total of 1,279 participants with overweight or obesity (age 25–70 years and BMI ≥25 kg ⋅ m−2) and prediabetes at baseline were included. We used multiadjusted linear mixed models with repeated measurements to assess longitudinal and dose-dependent associations by merging the participants into one group and dividing them into GI, GL, and fiber tertiles, respectively.

RESULTS

In the available-case analysis, each 10-unit increment in GI was associated with a greater regain of weight (0.46 kg ⋅ year−1; 95% CI 0.23, 0.68; P < 0.001) and increase in HbA1c. Each 20-unit increment in GL was associated with a greater regain of weight (0.49 kg ⋅ year−1; 0.24, 0.75; P < 0.001) and increase in HbA1c. The associations of GI and GL with HbA1c were independent of weight change. Compared with those in the lowest tertiles, participants in the highest GI and GL tertiles had significantly greater weight regain and increases in HbA1c. Fiber was inversely associated with increases in waist circumference, but the associations with weight regain and glycemic status did not remain robust in different analyses.

CONCLUSIONS

Dietary GI and GL were positively associated with weight regain and deteriorating glycemic status. Stronger evidence on the role of fiber is needed.

One of the most interesting periods in the history of the Roman cavalry were the Punic wars. Many historians believe that during these conflicts the ill fame of the Roman cavalry was founded but, as it can be observed it was not the determination that lacked. The main issue is the presence of the political factor who decided in the main battles of this conflict. The present paper has as aim to outline a few aspects of how the Roman mid-republican cavalry met these odds and how they tried to incline the balance in their favor.

Published: May 2021

Piglets are an important category in pig farming which should, alongside sows, be considered essential production heads. Over the past decades, the intensive selection in pig production has given priority to economically important traits resulting in greater feed utilization and obtaining more piglets from fewer sows. However, such selection practices have failed to improve the overall vitality of piglets and their ability to survive immediately after birth or during their stay in the farrowing unit. Body weight is of great importance in pig production, especially the piglet body weight at birth. A number of parameters can be predicted according to the piglet birth weight: mortality and growth rate, the physiological status of the heard, sensitivity to external influences, vitality and etc. The purpose of this paper is to determine the piglet body weight variation from birth to weaning (measured at birth, 3 hours after birth, 24 hours after birth and at weaning) and to examine the relationship between the birth weight of piglets and their body weight during the transition into nursing. A total of 105 piglets were enrolled in this study from the F1 generation sows followed through eight consecutive parities. The paper presents the results obtained using descriptive statistics, as well as variance and correlation analysis. The relationship between the piglet body weight at different stages of their life and overall production parameters was found to emphasize the centrality of housing conditions as the piglet weight at birth exerts a great impact on the body weight of older piglets, especially in the first days of the piglet life. Therefore, the proper care of piglets in farrowing units is of paramount importance to pig production, especially because piglets have lower body weight at birth nowadays than before.

Cancer patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 during their active anticancer treatment represent a highly vulnerable population. We aimed this investigation to show clinical features and outcomes of the patients who had mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms or were asymptomatic at the admission to the COVID Center. The retrospective study included 25 cancer patients confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 within seven days of their last anticancer treatment. Clinical data were collected from medical records and processed by methods of descriptive and inferential statistics. Patients' mean age was 68.1±10.4 years. More than 2/3 of the patients were with ECOG PS 0 and 1, and about 4/5 of patients were in III or IV cancer stage. The most frequently applied types of therapy were radiotherapy and combined radio/chemotherapy. Eleven (44.0%) patients had bilateral while 4 (16%) had unilateral pneumonia. The most frequent symptoms were fever (72%), fatigue (72%), dyspnea (32%), and cough (32%). 1/5 of the patients needed oxygen support. Mean neutrophil (2.6±1.2), lymphocyte (0.9±0.6) and platelets (200.1±88.1) number significantly increased from admission to discharge (p=0.004, p=0.005, p<0.001). Median CRP significantly decreased from 40.4 (6.2-96.2) at admission to 11.35 (3.75-27.65) at discharge (p=0.008). Twenty-four patients were cured, and one patient died. Naso-pharyngeal SARS-CoV-2 clearance time was 19.4±6.9 days; the minimum was seven, and the maximum was 39 days. Cancer patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 during active anticancer treatment can successfully overcome COVID-19 without developing further respiratory or other complications during hospitalization. An increase in lymphocyte and neutrophil counts, with a decrease in CRP, may be markers of a favorable prognosis.
Institutional limitations and possible vectors of the development of mediation in Russia
Authors: Vecherina Olga
Published: May 2021

The object of this research is the socio-legal institution of mediation as an alternative dispute settlement procedure in Russia. The subject of this research is the peculiarities of development of this institution and their substantiation by the specificity of institutional implementation, as well as cultural-historical aspects of the Russian society. The author indicates that the longstanding efforts of enthusiasts with the support of government structures aimed at the development of mediation as a legal institution outside its social component (mediation as an assisting profession) appeared to be ineffective and even faced rejection of a considerable part of society, as its conceptual grounds on the foundation of law do not correspond with the cultural-historical matrix of Russia. Special attention is given to the peculiarities of the establishment of mediation as a social institution and assisting profession. The author concludes on the presence of basic institutional restrictions of the development of socio-legal institution of mediation in Russia, due to the absence of mediation mechanisms of development (according to A. S. Akhiezer). The novelty of this work consist in tracing the dynamics of institutional development of mediation in the context of social evolution of the Russian society. The author believes that successful development of mediation in Russia as a social institution and assisting profession is not only possible, but essential; first and foremost, school mediation combined with remedial practices, as an effective technique of helping families, including families with children, and as instruments for working with ethno-confessional conflicts.

The subject of this research is the stylistic peculiarities and means of artistic expression of the architectural majolica by Peter Kuzmich Vaulin. The object of this research is the architectural ceramics of Vaulin in facades of the buildings of St. Petersburg in the early XX century. The application of inclusive approach allows tracing correlations between the historical facts and the cultural characteristics of this period. The compositional-artistic analysis, comparative-descriptive method, and imagery-stylistic analysis were used for consideration of the means of artistic expression of architectural ceramics, compositional interaction of the materials and space, and examination of the style and formative peculiarities of ceramics. Detailed analysis is conducted on the Saint Petersburg period of the ceramist P. K. Vaulin, opening of his own ceramic workshop, and active participation in the development of decorative image of St. Petersburg in the early XX century. Special attention is given to the most remarkable works of the master for architectural decoration of the city. Emphasis is placed on his works for the Insurance Company Building “Russia”, which is brilliant example of the harmonious synthesis of majolica and architecture. The conclusion is made that the architectural ceramics of the master made in many ways determined the majolica decoration of St. Petersburg – compositional, textured, color, imagery-stylistic, and plastic peculiarities of the ceramic works of P. K. Vaulin contributed to aesthetic transformation of the environment. The scientific novelty of consists in the thesis that the ceramic workshop of P. K. Vaulin was one of the leading manufacturers of artistic majolica of the indicated period. It is also proven that the Heldwein-Vaulin workshop was able to organically synthesize the heritage of the best traditions of the past with the courage and ambiguity of the Art Nouveau.

Objetivo: Descrever e revisar sobre o Tumor de Wilms (TW), com ênfase no tratamento cirúrgico e discutir a quimioterapia pré ou pós-cirúrgica e os exames necessários, conforme as diretrizes mais atuais disponíveis. Revisão bibliográfica: O TW é um tumor embrionário derivado dos metanefros, células precursoras do rim. É o tumor renal mais comum na infância e a terceira malignidade pediátrica mais comum. Seu tratamento é essencialmente cirúrgico, podendo ou não contar com quimioterapia, de acordo com os protocolos Children's Oncology Group (COG) e International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP). Critérios radiográficos e patológicos são empregados para avaliar a viabilidade pré-operatória, indicando candidatos apropriados para cada cirurgia. A nefrectomia radical é o tratamento de escolha nos casos de tumor unilateral. Já em casos de tumores bilaterais, opta-se pela nefrectomia parcial associada a técnica da cirurgia poupadora de néfrons, objetivando preservar a função renal. É consenso na literatura que o rastreio e diagnóstico precoce conduz a um melhor prognóstico e reduz morbimortalidade. Considerações finais: Conclui-se que o estudo do TW se faz extremamente necessário, dada sua importância epidemiológica mundial. O desenvolvimento de protocolos como COG e SIOP são de grande valia para o avanço do tratamento desses tumores.

Los libros de texto son un recurso necesario en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las ciencias y deben considerar, entre otros, a los elementos curriculares: objetivos de aprendizaje, contenidos matemáticos y evaluación. Esta investigación tiene como propósito determinar el nivel de satisfacción que el desarrollo de estos elementos genera en estudiantes y docentes, expresados en estos libros que se utilizan en el sistema educativo ecuatoriano. Cabe recalcar que el Ministerio de Educación dota de manera gratuita este material escolar a todas las instituciones públicas del país y, por lo tanto, motiva a investigar sobre su aplicación y uso. Este estudio tiene enfoque cuantitativo y es de nivel exploratorio y descriptivo, por lo que se usó un instrumento de observación para la recolección de datos. Los resultados se expresan por niveles de escolaridad tanto de la Educación General Básica subnivel Superior como del Bachillerato General Unificado y por los elementos curriculares estudiados. Finalmente, se concluyó que los objetivos propuestos para el Bachillerato General Unificado tienen un nivel de satisfacción mayor que los declarados para la Educación General Básica, asimismo, se concluyó para ambos niveles que existe un mediano nivel de satisfacción de los elementos investigados en los libros de texto, lo que significa que los estudiantes que los utilizan no están orientados para continuar aprendizajes más complejos.

Published: May 2021

In the voting process at elections, the people who vote in the elections believe they can influence the actions of those who are authorized to make binding decisions. In other words, they believe that what they are doing has a political effect (political efficiency). So it is an important thing to protect the political rights of all citizens, including the voting rights owned by groups of people with disabilities. Based on the above background, there are at least two problem formulations that can be used as a fence in this research, namely What are the problems and violations of the rights of groups of persons with disabilities in the 2019 General Election ?; and How are the rights of groups of persons with disabilities protected in the 2019 General Election in West Sumatra?
Implikasi Omnibus Law Terhadap Hak Konstitusional Atas Lingkungan Hidup Yang Sehat
Authors: Mahardika Ahmad Gelora
Published: May 2021

One of the goals of the formation of the omnibus law is to increase the index of ease of doing business in Indonesia, which is currently far behind other countries. One effort that was then carried out by the government was to cut down a number of permits, one of which was an environmental permit, namely the obligation to complete EIA and UKL-UPL documents. However, this regulation is actually contradictory to the spirit of sustainable development (SDGs) which development must be in line with environmental protection. The action also has the potential to violate Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution which requires the state to ensure the protection of citizens' constitutional rights to a clean and healthy environment. Especially in countries that have the highest business ease indexes, such as Denmark, South Korea and the United States, the issuance of EIA documents is mandatory and is carried out strictly. Therefore this article will try to look at the implications of the omnibus law for citizens' constitutional rights to a clean and healthy environment.

Over-expression of centrosomal protein 55 in human endometrial cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2021

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified centrosomal protein 55, encoded by CEP55, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. CEP55 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, in human endometrial cancer, primary tumor expression of CEP55 was correlated with overall survival in white patients with low mutational burden. CEP55 may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer.

Associations Between Brain and Behavioral Processing of Facial Expressions of Emotion and Sensory Reactivity in Young Children

Published: May 2021

The ability to decode and accurately identify information from facial emotions may advantage young children socially. This capacity to decode emotional information may likewise be influenced by individual differences in children’s temperament. This study investigated whether sensory reactivity and perceptual awareness, two dimensions of temperament, as well as children’s ability to accurately label emotions relates to the neural processing of emotional content in faces. Event related potentials (ERPs) of 4 to 6 year-old children (N = 119) were elicited from static displays of anger, happy, fearful, sad, and neutral emotion faces. Children, as a group, exhibited differential early (N290) and mid-latency (P400) event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to facial expressions of emotion. Individual differences in children’s sensory reactivity were associated with enhanced P400 amplitudes to neutral, sad, and fearful faces. In a separate task, children were asked to provide an emotional label for the same images. Interestingly, children less accurately labeled the same neutral, sad, and fearful faces, suggesting that, contrary to previous work showing enhanced attentional processing to threatening cues (i.e., fear), children higher in sensory reactivity may deploy more attentional resources when decoding ambiguous emotional cues.
