Authors: Rubanova Oksana I. , Lavrent'ev Andrey V. , Shostak Petr G. , Pershin Sergei E.
Published: May 2024

Introduction. The health of employees of the Russian law enforcement agencies is one of the factors of the success of their professional activities. The activities of law enforcement officers often take place in an extreme situation, due to the suddenness of emergency situations, lack of time to make decisions, a high degree of responsibility for the lives of other people, and the intensity of physical and psycho-emotional overloads. Therefore, at present, the problem of professional health of employees of law enforcement agencies is attracting attention.
The study aims to assess the factors of professional activity and health status of employees of individual law enforcement agencies of the Kaliningrad region.
Materials and methods. Using the random sampling method, the researchers formed three groups from among employees Using the random sampling method, the researchers formed three groups from among employees of the internal affairs bodies and the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops who are on medical care at the Federal Medical Institution "Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kaliningrad region." The experts analyzed the registration form No. 025/u (medical card of a patient receiving outpatient medical care) of these groups of employees of individual law enforcement agencies of the Kaliningrad region.
Results. Chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and injuries are the dominant pathology of employees of the law enforcement agencies of the Kaliningrad region who are on medical care at the Federal Medical Institution "Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kaliningrad region." Along with acute respiratory diseases, which most often lead to temporary disability, the above pathology causes a prolonged absence of employees in the relevant units, which makes it difficult to fulfill the assigned service and combat tasks to ensure law and order.
Conclusion. Extreme factors of service in the vast majority of cases have a negative impact on the health of persons performing service and combat missions. The dominant pathology of employees is chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue and injuries.

Published: May 2024

The presence of both the larynx and syrinx in the respiratory system, the trachea consisting of long and complete cartilage rings, and the presence of air sacs are some of the important features that distinguish birds from mammals. There have been many studies on the larynx, trachea and syrinx as they are the distinguishing features of song and bird vocalizations in many avian species. In the present study, the purpose was to demonstrate the morphological structures of the larynx, trachea and syrinx, which is a sound organ, pigeon, sparrowhawk, falcon, eagle, goose, crow and stork. A total of 48 specimens, were used in the study. The materials were stained with methylene blue for better observation and counting of the tracheal rings. The staining procedure was performed by soaking the materials in alcohol, methylene blue solution and alcohol solutions of different concentrations, respectively. It was observed that the tracheal cartilages were a complete ring in all study species, but there were differences in tracheal length, number of cartilages and dorsoventral flattening. Syrinx was found to be tracheal type in storks and tracheobronchial type in others. As a result, the similarities and differences of the data obtained from pigeon, falcon, sparrowhawk, eagle, crow, goose and stork on larynx, trachea and syrinx due to different hunting, singing and vocal characteristics were revealed.
Aha! Moments During Brief Digital Mental Health Interventions: A Mixed Methods Study of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Kaveladze Benjamin , Sung Jenna , Sotomayor Ian , Liao Jessica , Schleider Jessica L.
Published: May 2024

Background: The demand for scalable interventions to address loneliness and other mental health challenges is high. Digital single-session interventions (SSIs) have shown promise to radically increase access to evidence-based mental health support. However, the average effects of existing SSIs on mental health problems are small. One approach to improving SSI design is to understand users’ experiences—specifically, their reports of which parts of SSIs elicit “Aha! moments.” Although Aha! moments are frequently posited to be an important mechanism for change in psychotherapy, their potential to spark lasting change has not been empirically tested. Accordingly, this mixed-methods investigation includes 1) a qualitative thematic analysis of participant-reported Aha! moments and 2) a quantitative analysis of Aha! moments’ importance as predictors of intervention satisfaction and lasting change in loneliness. Method: This pre-registered mixed-methods study leveraged data from two randomized controlled trials (total n = 693) testing a digital, self-guided SSI focused on decreasing loneliness. 261 of these participants reported experiencing an Aha! moment during the SSI, and 188 (ages 18-73) provided qualitative responses describing what part of the intervention caused their Aha! moment. Qualitative responses were extracted for three coders to complete a thematic analysis. Results: Participants who received an SSI were more likely to endorse Aha! moments than participants in a control condition (p < .01). 11 themes emerged from participants’ self-identified Aha! moments during SSIs which were subcategorized. Of the intervention content codes, cognitive restructuring (N = 60, 31.91%) was the most frequently endorsed. Of the personal user experience codes, validation (N = 17; 9.04%) and self-reflection (N = 17; 9.04%) were most frequently endorsed. In both trials, Aha! moments were strongly associated with intervention satisfaction (ps < 0.01). In one trial, but not the other, participants who endorsed Aha! moments showed larger 8-week reductions in loneliness than those who did not (p[trial 1] = .23, p[trial 2] < .01). Conclusions: Participant-reported Aha! moments may be valuable for informing brief intervention design. Future work developing SSIs for loneliness may benefit from focusing on cognitive restructuring, exposure, and social skills training.

Olfactory Scene Analysis - Does Analytical Visual Processing predict superior identification of component odours in a complex mixture?
Authors: Hagan Rachel , Moore David , Walker Susannah , McGlone Francis
Published: May 2024

Background: Most familiar odours are complex mixtures of volatile molecules, which the olfactory system synthesizes into a perceptual whole. However, odours are rarely encountered in isolation and thus, the brain must also separate distinct odour objects from complex backgrounds. While in vision, individual differences in scene analysis have been widely reported, to date, little attention has been paid to the cognitive processes underlying this olfactory ability. Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine whether local processing performance in visual tasks, would predict participants’ ability to identify component odours in multicomponent mixtures. Methods: 59 participants (F=39), aged 16-55, completed two visual perception tasks, (Navon and Block Design) and an odour-mixture task designed to test participants’ ability to identify multi-component odour objects in binary/ternary mixtures. Results: Performance on the Block Design Task was not significantly associated with odour mixture task performance. However, on the NAVON, faster overall reaction times and lower accuracy on global incongruent trials, suggestive of greater local interference, was significantly predictive of binary odour mixture performance. Conclusion: These results provide initial insight into the cognitive processes required for olfactory scene analysis.

Published: May 2024

Ensuring that knowledge generated through research has impact in early childhood education practice is a familiar and complex challenge. This article reports on an attempt to bridge the research-practice divide in one area of mathematics, early spatial reasoning, through the development of a practitioner toolkit to aid professional learning. The approach was to research practitioner perspectives on what is needed to support practice in this important and often under-recognised area of mathematics. We conducted questionnaires and focus groups. These showed that practitioners in England desire support in all areas of spatial reasoning, having received little or no training previously, and that multiple professional learning resources are required for a diverse sector. We argue that research dissemination, which is inclusive of the breadth of the early education sector, should provide age-range specific, accessible, practice-focussed, multi-modal resources.

It’s time to stand on my own feet: When to stop social learning from a predecessor in a laboratory information-foraging task

Published: May 2024

Striking a balance between individual and social learning is one of the key capabilities that support adaptation under uncertainty. Although intergenerational transmission of information is ubiquitous, little is known about when and how newcomers switch from learning loyally from preceding models to exploring independently. Using a behavioral experiment, we investigated how social information available from a preceding demonstrator affects the timing of becoming independent and individual performance thereafter. Participants worked on a 30-armed bandit task for 100 trials. For the first 15 trials, participants simply observed the choices of a demonstrator who had accumulated more knowledge about the environment and passively received rewards from the demonstrator’s choices. Thereafter, participants could switch to making independent choices at any time. We had three conditions differing in the social information available from the demonstrator: choice only, reward only, or both. Results showed that both participants’ strategies about when to stop observational learning and their behavioral patterns after independence depended on the available social information. Participants generally failed to make the best use of previously observed social information in their subsequent independent choices, suggesting the importance of direct communication beyond passive observation for better intergenerational transmission under uncertainty. Implications for cultural evolution are discussed.
“I don’t think they understand the reality of autism”: the lived experiences of late-diagnosed autistic adults in Japan

Published: May 2024

Most autism research has been conducted in Western settings. It is not clear, however, whether autistic experiences reported in Western cultures can be translated to those of East Asian autistic people. We aimed to bridge this gap by examining the lived experiences of autistic people in Japan. We used semi-structured interviews with seven autistic Japanese adults, who had been clinically diagnosed in their 20s and 30s, eliciting their experiences of growing up autistic, from their time at elementary school to the time of interview. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we identified three themes: (1) feeling different and misunderstood, (2) the different pathways and impact of diagnosis, and (3) a strong desire to be accepted. All interviewees experienced significant hardship throughout their lives, including being bullied by peers, workplace discrimination and a lack of acceptance of their diagnosis from their families. While this took its toll on interviewee’s mental health, they strongly desired to be understood by others and to address stigma. Stigma towards autism has received little attention in Japan. We suggest increasing the awareness and acceptance of autism through the lens of neurodiversity and involving the autistic community in research.
Directive and Interpretive Functions of World Beliefs in Dyadic Interaction: Providing and Perceiving Social Support
Authors: Lemay Edward , Cutri Jennifer , Or Ronald Teng
Published: May 2024

Prior research suggests that world beliefs may play a role in directing action and interpreting new information. However, little is known regarding how world beliefs impact close relationships. The current research examines these directive and interpretive functions of world beliefs in the context of observed social support interactions between romantic partners using a comprehensive measure of primal world beliefs, and examines implications for affective experience and psychological well-being. Both members of romantic couples (N = 235 couples) discussed personal problems and a panel of observers assessed support-seeking and responsive support behavior during their conversations. When listening to their partner’s problems, participants who saw the world as Enticing (i.e., replete with rewards and worth exploring) were more responsive to their partner’s bids for support. When discussing their own problems, participants who saw the world as Good and Enticing perceived that their partner was more supportive, independent of partner-reported and objectively assessed support provision, and these perceptions predicted improved mood at the end of the conversation and greater well-being a year later. These results provide novel support for the directive and interpretive functions of world beliefs in the context of social support interactions between romantic partners, and suggest that world beliefs may influence affective experience and well-being through their impact on support perceptions.
Polarising Press: The Effect of Media Consumption on Brexit Identity
Authors: Snow Dan
Published: May 2024

In the wake of the 2016 EU referendum, many British voters came to identify with their side of the Brexit debate, thinking of themselves as Remainers or Leavers. These new social identities rivalled partisan identity in prevalence and strength, continue to do so seven years after the referendum, and have been linked experimentally to affective polarisation. Little is understood about the formation of these identities, nor the mechanisms that led some individuals to form stronger attachments than others to their side of the Brexit divide. In this paper, I focus on one potential cause of Brexit identification; media consumption. By fitting models with individual-level fixed effects to British Election Study panel data, I find no evidence that identification over time is a product of media consumption, but the strength of that identification is reinforced by a person's level of media consumption. I find that, for both Remain and Leave identifiers, spending more time watching television, reading newspapers and browsing the Internet is associated with a stronger sense of social identification with their side of the Brexit debate. The findings have important implications for our understanding of the role that media can play in transforming political divides into social divisions, an important topic given how many democracies are currently exhibiting increasing political polarisation.

Authors: W.A.Y.A. Weerakoon  , P.A.N.S. Anuradha
Published: May 2024

This study delves into how financial literacy shapes the relationship between digital banking and the financial performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Sri Lanka. Quantitative data were gathered from 380 SMEs across nine provinces using a deductive approach. Utilizing SPSS, the study scrutinized how financial literacy moderates the connection between digital banking and SME financial performance. Results reveal a significant and positive moderating influence of financial literacy on this relationship. Furthermore, the study highlights the constructive impact of digital banking on SME development and financial performance in Sri Lanka. Importantly, participation in financial literacy programs provided by entrepreneurial support organizations emerges as a crucial factor in equipping SME owners with the requisite knowledge for making informed financial decisions. This research underscores the pivotal roles of financial literacy and digital banking in bolstering SMEs, advocating for their strategic utilization to elevate financial performance. Additionally, it fills an important gap in understanding by examining how mobile, digital, and digital banking affect SMEs in Sri Lanka. This emphasizes the crucial role of financial literacy in encouraging the adoption of digital banking and promoting SME growth in developing economies.
Modelling the Discount Function through the Yield Curve Trajectories of the Parsimonious Continuous De Rezende Framework
Authors: Ogungbenle Gbenga Michael  , Ogungbenle Kayode Simeon  , Chakfa Timzing Alfred
Published: May 2024

This paper obtains the term structure technique to produce yield curves from Nigerian Eurobond by using the De Rezende parametric function. There does not seem to exist any empirical proof that Nigeria has constructed a functional model to construct its discount function from the yield curves. Therefore, the De Rezende parsimoniously parametric function is deeply examined to make this framework applicable in presenting yield curves for Nigerian Euro bond constructed through the associated positive forward curve and from where the discount function is generated. The forward rate should be continuous and at the same time generate a positive yield curve trajectory. The objective of this paper is (i) construct the yield curve trajectories and (ii) to construct the discount function from the yield curve (iii) to construct the in-sample prediction to achieve results in predicting coefficients for longer maturities. The data presented involves the daily closing of the Nigerian Eurobond yield covering January to December 2022, which is fitted to the observed Nigerian Eurobond yield curve to construct the yield function. The ordinary least square is applied to estimate the parameters used in computing the in-sample yield. A test of goodness of fit was conducted showing that the model fits in well to the observed data demonstrated by the model’s high R -square adjusted through the predicted yields after obtaining the decay factors.
Body mass assessment of male soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Authors: Mykhaylov Volodymyr , Korostylova Yuliya , Mykhaylov Vitaly
Published: May 2024

Body weight control of male soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not only about ensuring their somatic (physical) health. It is also the choice of proper nutrition, neat appearance, successful passing physical training tests, high work capacity and timely performance of military duties. Moreover, it is also the presence of special criteria – norms (standards), the development of which has unreasonably little attention in the past in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but in the current conditions they are extremely relevant. Excessive body weight, and especially obesity, reduces a person’s work capacity, complicates intellectual and physical activity, causes disability, premature aging and shortened life expectancy. Body weight standards should be universal enough to take into account as much as possible departmental interests, in particular the military, and to cover individual characteristics of human development, such as height, age, and body constitution. The purpose of the study is to improve body weight assessment system of male servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with different height, age and body constitution. Methods of the study are as following: theoretical analysis and generalization; extrapolation; method of least squares; regression analysis. Material: according to the authors’ formula of optimal body weight for men of different height, age and different body constitution, the limits of body weight norms for nine age groups were obtained in accordance with the requirements of physical training standards. Results: a table of minimum and maximum body weight for servicemen of different heights depending on the age group was developed. A methodology for assessing the body weight of military personnel, taking into account their body constitution, has been developed. Conclusions. To estimate the body weight of male servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a table has been developed within the height range from 1.50 to 2.06 m in nine age groups from 18 to 60 years and older for soldiers with different body constitutions. In the case when body weight of male servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine exceeds the table requirements, it is necessary to obtain the percentage of its deviation from the optimal body weight for men of different height, age and different body constitution, which is calculated according to the formula: Optimal body weight for men = (4.7619 × wrist circumference – 90.4762) × (0/08135×age+21.6916) × L2 / 100+(0.08135 × age + 21.6916) × L2 . If the body weight differs from the optimal body weight for men by no more than ±10%, then it meets the requirements of the norm.

Published: May 2024

This article presents the results of a study of determining the characteristics of changes in heart rate variability indicators in athletes who have been engaged in horting, hand-to-hand combat, and Thai boxing for a long time in response to strength loads in pre-competition mesocycles. It was established that in the examined athletes, regardless of the type of mixed martial arts, the tension of all regulatory systems was fixed before the beginning of strength loads, as indicated by the parameters of the VLF indicator, which were almost twice the norm. At the same time, it was established that the HF indicator of the participants, which characterizes the parasympathetic tone, is on average only 10.3% of the total power of the spectrum, which indicates the predominance of the sympathetic system. The results revealed after the participants used power loads of a large amount of loads and medium intensity indicate a reliable decrease in the total power of the spectrum of oscillation of cardio intervals. An increase in the intensity of the autonomic regulation of the heart rhythm due to the weakening of the activation of the parasympathetic tone was revealed, primarily in athletes engaged in horting. It is in athletes from hand-to-hand combat and horting, in response to power loads with a large volume of work, the activation of the central circuit increases and the level of sympathetic regulation increases.
МОВНИЙ АСПЕКТ СЛЕНГОВОЇ ЛЕКСИКИ В УКРАЇНСЬКИХ І ПОЛЬСЬКИХ СОЦМЕРЕЖАХ
Authors: Воробець Олександр
Published: May 2024

У статті висвітлюються особливості мовного аспекту сленгової лексики в українських і польських соціальних мережах. Через молодіжну говірку, як популярним код сучасних субкультур, як України, так і Польщі можна дізнатися про сучасні засоби деривації зазначених мов, особливості інтернетного спілкування молоді. Привертає увагу роль англомовних скорочень у розвитку сучасного мовлення української і польської молоді, зокрема абревіатури, слова, скорочені внаслідок відтинання останніх складів, поєднання букв і цифр, нові конструкції, що виникають унаслідок пропуску голосних звуків тощо. Акцентовано, що в наш час важко не помітити стрімкий розвиток засобів зв’язку та інформаційних технологій, що видозмінили людське спілкування. Із появою соціальних мереж розпочався новий етап комунікації, що відкриває потужні медійні можливості та привертає увагу до нових тенденцій у комунікативних процесах. Комунікація у кіберпросторі є предметом зацікавленості як лінгвістів, так і соціологів, антропологів, медіаекспертів.
Однією з основних частин статті є аналіз різних аспектів впливу соціальних мереж на мову в українському та польському контекстах. Розглянуто використання абревіатур, скорочень, емодзі, та сленгу в цих мережах, і як ці мовні явища відображають культурні впливи та специфічні особливості спілкування. Також було розглянуто питання мовної адаптації і впливу англійської мови на мовлення в соцмережах.
ДІАХРОННІ ТА СИНХРОННІ ВИЯВИ ПОЛЬСЬКИХ ВПЛИВІВ У ФЕМІНІТИВНІЙ ПІДСИСТЕМІ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ МОВИ
Authors: Брус Марія
Published: May 2024

Мета. У статті розглянуто українсько-польські мовні зв’язки і проаналізовано фемінітиви польського походження, що ввійшли до українського лексикону в різні історичні періоди, стали частиною його активного й пасивного складу та залишили певне відбиття на фемінітивній підсистемі української мови. Зазначено, що перші такі запозичення в польської мови з’явилися в староукраїнській мові ХІV – ХV ст., численно збільшилися в ХVІ – ХVІІ ст., невеликою мірою поповнили українську лексику в новий та сучасний періоди, але переважно словами, мотивованими маскулінативами польського походження.
Методологія дослідження. У контексті становлення й розвитку міжмовної взаємодії проблема творення та вживання фемінітивів є сьогодні однією з актуалізованих і неоднозначно інтерпретованих, розкриття якої активізує певною мірою і міжнародну співпрацю та комунікацію. На польсько-українському рівні ця проблема не сучасна, а з довготривалою історією, тому й дослідження її уґрунтоване на використанні діахронного та синхронного підходів. Із погляду впливів польської мови на фемінітивну підсистему української мови діахронний аспект дав змогу простежити хронологію запозичення із польської мови фемінітивів або їхніх твірних основ упродовж усієї писемної доби, а синхронний – проаналізувати особливості запозичених номінацій із польської мови на різних історичних етапах. Для реалізації цих підходів використано історичний, описовий, частково компаративний методи, елементи лексичного, словотвірного і стилістичного аналізу. За теоретичну базу взято наукові праці з лінгвоукраїністики про польсько-українські мовні зв’язки та фемінітивні запозичення з польської мови, а за основну джерельну базу – історичні й тлумачні словники української мови.

У статті досліджено виражальні можливості лексеми “душа” в художньому дискурсі Богдана Лепкого. На основі аналізу особливостей функціювання цієї лексеми з’ясовано, що для мовотворчості письменника характерним є звернення до образу душі як вербального репрезентанта внутрішнього психоемоційного світу персонажів.  Душа в авторських  текстах позначає місце локалізації людських емоцій і почуттів, думок і бажань, а також саму людину з її рисами і якостями, виявляє здатність відображати людську внутрішню сутність, вона тісно пов’язана з інтелектуальними процесами, однак частіше вживається в метафорично переосмислених словосполученнях зі значенням почуття.
Bilateral Iliac Arteries Stent Compression Following Pelvic Surgery: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Mohammadian Reza
Published: May 2024

Extrinsic compression of iliac arteries stents has been reported from different causes, such as uterine fibroids and orthopedic surgery. Although extrinsic compression of stents in the iliac veins has been widely studied, stent compression in the iliac arteries is less common. Here we presented a case with bilateral common iliac arteries stent compression following pelvic surgery. A patient (65-year-old woman) presented with acute critical right limb ischemia. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed occlusion of the right common and external iliac artery, and severe stenosis in the left common iliac artery. In addition, there was evidence of a Brenner tumor originating from the left ovary. The patient underwent endovascular recanalization of the right iliac arteries and bilateral balloon-expandable stent deployment, and the ovarian tumor was removed after three weeks. The control CTA scan showed asymmetric bilateral iliac arteries stent compression more prominent on the right side, then self-expanding stents were implanted bilaterally. In Conclusion although iatrogenic compression of the stent in the iliac artery is rare despite scarcity, it is important to maintain a high index of suspicion in selected cases and choose the proper stent accordingly.

The presence of people who are quite potential as influencers can certainly have an effect in providing an impact or information that will immediately spread to the community. Some of them are equipped with good rhetoric skills. Rhetoric itself is the ability to persuade someone through a given message or gesture, one of which is in the form of a campaign. The ability to rhetoric itself is important for a communicator to do so that messages or information can be conveyed properly to the audience. Likewise what happened to a member of the band SID (Superman Is Dead), who recently became a conversation because of his actions that spread messages through his personal Instagram account. Many responses came from internet users, both pros and cons. Jerinx, or whose real name is I Gede Ari Astina, once uploaded his statement regarding a case related to a pandemic which certainly caused a commotion to the public. However, not a few of them thought hard about Jerinx's opinion, who said that "IDI is a WHO worker". This statement he made was further strengthened when his legal authority spoke to the public if Jerinx had previously asked the IDI (Indonesian Doctors' Association) to speak privately and explain the real situation in Indonesia today. But unfortunately the invitation has not been fulfilled. Of course, this post made by Jerinx in digital media makes the public more aware and thinks twice about the phenomena that exist in the pandemic era and sort out which information is appropriate or not.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengemasan berita pada media sosial Instagram milik jurnalisme alternatif yakni Tirto, Katadata, NarasiTv, dan Opini.id. Penelitian ini menggunakan Teori Logika Media Sosial yang dikemukakan oleh Hermida & Mellado guna menganalisis konten-konten keempat media tersebut dengan lima dimensi analisis, yakni struktur dan desain, estetika, konvensi genre, strategi retoris, interaksi dan intensi. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan metode yang digunakan adalah analisis isi. Unit analisis pada penelitian ini meliputi unit sampel, unit pencatatan, dan unit konteks. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pengemasan berita keempat media tersebut pada media sosial Instagram mengikuti logika media sosial saat ini. Struktur dan desain unggahan di IG masing-masing media berupa kesesuaian penggunaan fitur sehingga menghasilkan konten foto dan video dengan narasi pada kolom caption tanpa harus beralih dan diarahkan kepada laman portal media daring melalui hypertext. Sedangkan jika dilihat dari sisi estetika, terdapat penggunaan filter pada gambar dan gaya verbal dengan ciri khas masing-masing pada media jurnalisme alternatif, konvensi genre mengutamakan bagaimana mempresentasikan berita yang diunggah bukan hanya mengandalkan kecepatan pengunggahan dan tulisan saja namun hal ini terlihat mengikuti kapitalisme yang ada pada logika media sosial, strategi retoris media jurnalisme tidak terlalu fokus mengunggah berita secara realtime kemudian membuat kelanjutan berita terpisah setiap unggahan serta penggunaan tagar, interaksi dan itensi terlihat dari penggunaan fitur ikon berbentuk hati yang menunjukan jumlah suka dan juga pengunaan kolom komentar sehingga membentuk gaya interaksi tertentu di dalamnya. Namun, hal ini dikatakan juga sebagai pedang bermata dua, di mana logika media sosial ini bercampur dengan logika institusi.
Polish adaptation of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale
Authors: Bobrowska Magdalena , Liberska Hanna
Published: May 2024

Aim: Sensory processing sensitivity is defined as a personality trait that describes the tendency to process stimuli and information more strongly and deeply than others (Aron et al., 2012). The first and most frequently used scale to measure this trait is the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) by Aron and Aron (1997). The article presents the process of creating the Polish adaptation of the tool. Method: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used. The psychometric properties were checked on a sample of 1,360 participants. Results: The obtained results confirm the multifactorial structure of the variable. In the Polish adaptation of the tool (HSPS), two separate factors were recognized: excessive stimulation and depth of processing. Six items were excluded due to their low factor loadings. The results indicate that the Polish version of the HSPS is a reliable tool. Its accuracy is also confirmed by correlations with neuroticism and extraversion, which, according to the theory, are statistically significantly related to the SPS construct (Aron & Aron, 1997). Conclusion: The Polish adaptation of the scale demonstrated good psychometric properties and high reliability. However, research on the cultural aspect of sensory processing sensitivity should be continued, taking into account gender differences.

This study examines the relationship between social support and socialization tactics in university students' participation in physical activity (PA) and also evaluates these interactions after the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants of the study consisted of university students between the ages of 18-27. Personal information form, social support scale for physical activity and socialization tactics scale were used in the study. The data of 291 participants were included in the study. Data were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS 22. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that gender, athlete background and educational tactics were associated with parental support for PA (F(9,274)=4.292, p=0.000, adj R2=0.12). There was a association of peer support and having an athletic background with using educational tactics and participating in socialization processes with social tactics (F(9,274)=7.903, p=0.000, adj R2=0.21). The research findings revealed that the increase in parental and peer social support in physical activity participation is realized with the effect of sportive background and educational tactics. Since educational tactics play a decisive role, organizing the campus environment in a way that encourages physical activity participation may have a significant effect on the perception of peer social support. The research shows that sporting background, educational tactics and campus environment are effective for increasing participation in physical activity. Therefore, educators and campus administrators should develop various strategies to support university students' physical activity habits.

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) shapes the complex relationship between Pakistan, China, and Iran. Geopolitical interests, historical tensions, and economic goals all influence these ties. Strategic ports like Gwadar and Chabahar are important for regional connectivity and BRI's success. The countries navigate external pressures like US sanctions on Iran and India's influence. Collaboration opportunities exist in the technology and energy sectors, but trust and cooperation are needed to address regional challenges and promote stability.
Preoperative embolization and microsurgical resection of a cerebellar hemangioblastoma: embolization goals and technical nuances of the approaches. Illustrative case
Authors: Reecher Hope M , Hussain Omar , Treffy Randall , Nerva John D
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Resection remains the optimal treatment for hemangioblastomas, highly vascular tumors commonly located in the cerebellum or spinal cord. Preoperative embolization can be used with caution to reduce intraoperative blood loss and promote gross-total resection while reducing neurological morbidity.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors report a case of a 44-year-old male who presented with worsening dizziness, gait imbalance, and diplopia. Imaging revealed a large vascular cerebellar mass with brainstem compression and hydrocephalus, concerning for hemangioblastoma. The patient underwent preoperative embolization of the main arterial supply from the right superior cerebellar artery, which devascularized the tumor and reduced the early venous shunting, followed by gross-total resection of the tumor. Preoperative embolization helped to facilitate safe microsurgical resection because this main arterial supply was deep to the planned surgical approach, and the Onyx cast served as a landmark of the dorsal midbrain and remaining arterial supply. This resulted in minimal intraoperative blood loss. At 2-year follow-up, the patient’s diplopia and vertigo had resolved, and his gait continues to improve.

LESSONS

Despite controversy regarding the use of preoperative embolization for hemangioblastoma resection, the authors emphasize its safety and utility during resection of a large cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Onyx embolization provided benefit in both reducing the tumor blood supply and serving as intraoperative visual guidance.
