© 2017 Fleming, Bavin, Stasiak, Hermansson-Webb, Merry, Cheek, Lucassen, Lau, Pollmuller and Hetrick. Computer games are ubiquitous and can be utilized for serious purposes such as health and education. "Applied games" including serious games (in brief, computerized games for serious purposes) and gamification (gaming elements used outside of games) have the potential to increase the impact of mental health internet interventions via three processes. First, by extending the reach of online programs to those who might not otherwise use them. Second, by improving engagement through both game-based and "serious" motivational dynamics. Third, by utilizing varied mechanisms for change, including therapeutic processes and gaming features. In this scoping review, we aim to advance the field by exploring the potential and opportunities available in this area. We review engagement factors which may be exploited and demonstrate that there is promising evidence of effectiveness for serious games for depression from contemporary systematic reviews. We illustrate six major categories of tested applied games for mental health (exergames, virtual reality, cognitive behavior therapy-based games, entertainment games, biofeedback, and cognitive training games) and demonstrate that it is feasible to translate traditional evidence-based interventions into computer gaming formats and to exploit features of computer games for therapeutic change. Applied games have considerable potential for increasing the impact of online interventions for mental health. However, there are few independent trials, and direct comparisons of game-based and non-game-based interventions are lacking. Further research, faster iterations, rapid testing, non-traditional collaborations, and user-centered approaches are needed to respond to diverse user needs and preferences in rapidly changing environments.

© 2016 Fleming, de Beurs, Khazaal, Gaggioli, Riva, Botella, Baños, Aschieri, Bavin, Kleiboer, Merry, Lau and Riper. Internet interventions for mental health, including serious games, online programs, and apps, hold promise for increasing access to evidence-based treatments and prevention. Many such interventions have been shown to be effective and acceptable in trials; however, uptake and adherence outside of trials is seldom reported, and where it is, adherence at least, generally appears to be underwhelming. In response, an international Collaboration On Maximizing the impact of E-Therapy and Serious Gaming (COMETS) was formed. In this perspectives' paper, we call for a paradigm shift to increase the impact of internet interventions toward the ultimate goal of improved population mental health. We propose four pillars for change: (1) increased focus on user-centered approaches, including both user-centered design of programs and greater individualization within programs, with the latter perhaps utilizing increased modularization; (2) Increased emphasis on engagement utilizing processes such as gaming, gamification, telepresence, and persuasive technology; (3) Increased collaboration in program development, testing, and data sharing, across both sectors and regions, in order to achieve higher quality, more sustainable outcomes with greater reach; and (4) Rapid testing and implementation, including the measurement of reach, engagement, and effectiveness, and timely implementation. We suggest it is time for researchers, clinicians, developers, and end-users to collaborate on these aspects in order to maximize the impact of e-therapies and serious gaming.

© 2015 Perry et al. Background: Evidence suggests that current treatments cannot fully alleviate the burden of disease associated with depression but that prevention approaches offer a promising opportunity to further reduce this burden. Adolescence is a critical period in the development of mental illness, and final school examinations are a significant and nearly universal stressor that may act as a trigger for mental health difficulties such as depression. The aim of the present trial is to investigate the impact of SPARX-R, an online, gamified intervention based on cognitive behavioural principles, on the prevention of depression in secondary school students before their final examinations. Methods/Design: Government, independent and Catholic secondary schools in New South Wales, Australia, will be recruited to participate in the trial. All students enrolled in their final year of high school (year 12) in participating schools will be invited to participate. To account for possible attrition, the target sample size was set at 1600 participants across 30 schools. Participating schools will be cluster randomised at the school level to receive either SPARX-R or lifeSTYLE, an attention-controlled placebo comparator. The control intervention is an online program aimed at maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The primary outcome will be symptoms of depression, and secondary outcomes will include symptoms of anxiety, suicidal ideation and behaviours, stigma and academic performance. Additional measures of cost-effectiveness, as well as process variables (e.g., adherence, acceptability) and potential predictors of response to treatment, will be collected. Consenting parents will be invited to complete measures regarding their own mental health and expectations for their child. Assessments will be conducted pre- and post-intervention and at 6- and 18-month follow-up. Primary analyses will compare changes in levels of depressive symptomatology for the intervention group relative to the attention control condition using mixed-effects model repeated-measures analyses to account for clustering within schools. Discussion: This is the first trial of a universal depression prevention intervention delivered to school students in advance of a specific, significant stressor. If found to be effective, this program may offer schools a new approach to preparing students for their final year of schooling.

The Design and Relevance of a Computerized Gamified Depression Therapy Program for Indigenous Māori Adolescents
Authors: Shepherd Matthew , Fleming Theresa , Lucassen Mathijs , Stasiak Karolina , Lambie Ian , Merry Sally N
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: Depression is a major health issue among Māori indigenous adolescents, yet there has been little investigation into the relevance or effectiveness of psychological treatments for them. Further, consumer views are critical for engagement and adherence to therapy. However, there is little research regarding indigenous communities' opinions about psychological interventions for depression. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to conduct semistructured interviews with Māori (indigenous New Zealand) young people (taitamariki) and their families to find out their opinions of a prototype computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) program called Smart, Positive, Active, Realistic, X-factor thoughts (SPARX), a free online computer game intended to help young persons with mild to moderate depression, feeling down, stress or anxiety. The program will teach them how to resolve their issues on their own using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as psychotherapeutic approach. METHODS: There were seven focus groups on the subject of the design and cultural relevance of SPARX that were held, with a total of 26 participants (19 taitamarki, 7 parents/caregivers, all Māori). There were five of the groups that were with whānau (family groups) (n=14), one group was with Māori teenage mothers (n=4), and one group was with taitamariki (n=8). The general inductive approach was used to analyze focus group data. RESULTS: SPARX computerized therapy has good face validity and is seen as potentially effective and appealing for Māori people. Cultural relevance was viewed as being important for the engagement of Māori young people with SPARX. Whānau are important for young peoples' well-being. Participants generated ideas for improving SPARX for Māori and for the inclusion of whānau in its delivery. CONCLUSIONS: SPARX computerized therapy had good face validity for indigenous young people and families. In general, Māori participants were positive about the SPARX prototype and considered it both appealing and applicable to them. The results of this study were used to refine SPARX prior to it being delivered to taitamariki and non-Māori young people.

Integrating Health Behavior Theory and Design Elements in Serious Games
Authors: Cheek Colleen , Fleming Theresa , Lucassen Mathijs FG , Bridgman Heather , Stasiak Karolina , Shepherd Matthew , Orpin Peter
Published: May 2020

Background
Internet interventions for improving health and well-being have the potential to reach many people and fill gaps in service provision. Serious gaming interfaces provide opportunities to optimize user adherence and impact. Health interventions based in theory and evidence and tailored to psychological constructs have been found to be more effective to promote behavior change. Defining the design elements which engage users and help them to meet their goals can contribute to better informed serious games.

Objective
To elucidate design elements important in SPARX, a serious game for adolescents with depression, from a user-centered perspective.

Methods
We proposed a model based on an established theory of health behavior change and practical features of serious game design to organize ideas and rationale. We analyzed data from 5 studies comprising a total of 22 focus groups and 66 semistructured interviews conducted with youth and families in New Zealand and Australia who had viewed or used SPARX. User perceptions of the game were applied to this framework.

Results
A coherent framework was established using the three constructs of self-determination theory (SDT), autonomy, competence, and relatedness, to organize user perceptions and design elements within four areas important in design: computer game, accessibility, working alliance, and learning in immersion. User perceptions mapped well to the framework, which may assist developers in understanding the context of user needs. By mapping these elements against the constructs of SDT, we were able to propose a sound theoretical base for the model.

Conclusions
This study’s method allowed for the articulation of design elements in a serious game from a user-centered perspective within a coherent overarching framework. The framework can be used to deliberately incorporate serious game design elements that support a user’s sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, key constructs which have been found to mediate motivation at all stages of the change process. The resulting model introduces promising avenues for future exploration. Involving users in program design remains an imperative if serious games are to be fit for purpose.
Views of young people in rural Australia on SPARX, a fantasy world developed for New Zealand youth with depression

Published: May 2020

Background: A randomized control trial demonstrated that a computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) program (Smart, Positive, Active, Realistic, X-factor thoughts [SPARX]) was an appealing and efficacious treatment for depression for adolescents in New Zealand. Little is known about the acceptability of computerized therapy programs for rural Australians and the suitability of computerized programs developed in one cultural context when used in another country. Issues such as accents and local differences in health care access might mean adjustments to programs are required. Objective: This study sought to explore the acceptability of SPARX by youth in rural Australia and to explore whether and how young people would wish to access such a program. Methods: Focus groups and semistructured interviews were conducted with 16 young people attending two youth-focused community services in a small, rural Tasmanian town. An inductive data-driven approach was used to identify themes using the interview transcripts as the primary data source. Interpretation was supported by demographic data, observer notes, and content analysis. Results: Participants reported that young people want help for mental health issues but they have an even stronger need for controlling how they access services. In particular, they considered protecting their privacy in their small community to be paramount. Participants thought computerized therapy was a promising way to increase access to treatment for youth in rural and remote areas if offered with or without therapist support and via settings other than school. The design features of SPARX that were perceived to be useful, included the narrative structure of the program, the use of different characters, the personalization of an avatar, "socialization" with the Guide character, optional journaling, and the use of encouraging feedback. Participants did not consider (New Zealand) accents off-putting. Young people believed the SPARX program would appeal to those who play computer games generally, but may be less appealing for those who do not. Conclusions: The findings suggest that computerized therapy offered in ways that support privacy and choice can improve access to treatment for rural youth. Foreign accents and style may not be off-putting to teenage users when the program uses a playful fantasy genre, as it is consistent with their expectation of fantasy worlds, and it is in a medium with which they already have a level of competence. Rather, issues of engaging design and confidential access appeared to be more important. These findings suggest a proven tool once formally assessed at a local level can be adopted cross-nationally.

Benih pala termasuk kelompok benih rekalsitran yang membutuhkan kondisi lembab selama penyimpanan. Zeolit adalah endapan vulkanik yang dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan pelembab. Kondisi lingkungan periode penyimpanan merupakan faktor penting yang mempengaruhi viabilitas benih. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh kondisi penyimpanan dengan penambahan zeolit dan periode simpan terhadap viabilitas benih pala. Percobaan disusun dalam Split Plot dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap menggunakan tiga ulangan. Petak utama adalah kondisi simpan yaitu H0= kondisi kering (tanpa zeolit) dan H1= kondisi lembab (dengan zeolit). Anak petak adalah periode simpan (P) terdiri dari enam taraf : P0= tanpa penyimpanan (0 hari), P1  = penyimpanan 3 hari, P2  = penyimpanan 6 hari, P3  = penyimpanan 9 hari, P4  = penyimpanan 12 hari,  P5 = penyimpanan 15 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kondisi simpan dengan zeolit lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kondisi simpan tanpa zeolit dalam mempertahankan viabilitas benih pala. Kondisi simpan dan periode simpan terbukti berpengaruh nyata terhadap parameter viabilitas potensial dengan tolok ukur daya berkecambah, viabilitas total dengan tolok ukur potensi tumbuh maksimum, serta vigor benih dengan tolok ukur kecepatan tumbuh dan indeks vigor. Penyimpanan dengan zeolit meningkatkan kadar air benih dari 34.61% menjadi 39.69%, sedangkan penyimpanan tanpa zeolit mempertahankan kadar air benih dari 27.83% menjadi 22.86%. Kondisi kadar air yang tinggi dapat mempertahankan viabilitas tetap tinggi yang ditunjukkan pada viabilitas benih tetap tinggi hingga periode simpan hari-15.
Diversion in the Child Criminal Justice System as an Effort to Implement Restorative Justice
Authors: Setyowati Dewi
Published: May 2020

The juvenile criminal justice system according to Article 1 of Law Number 11 Year 2012 concerning the Criminal Justice System for Children (hereinafter referred to as SPPA Law) is the whole process of resolving cases of children in conflict with the Law from the investigation stage to the guidance stage after undergoing a crime. The application of SPPA involves many parties consisting of the police, prosecutors, legal advisors, courts, and correctional institutions, and child development. One of the law enforcers (structures) in SPPA that has a significant role is the prosecutor's office. The Prosecutor's Office as the prosecuting body that has been given the authority to solve the problems of children in conflict with the Law (hereinafter referred to as ABH) by using diversion to realize Restorative Justice, as stipulated in the provisions of Article 7 Paragraph 1 of the SPPA Law. What if, in this stage, the diversion was not sought for ABH? What is the form of violations experienced by ABH in the criminal justice system, especially at the prosecution stage? The method used is legal/normative research based on laws and regulations relating to one another. The Indonesian Attorney's Office in the constitutional system, as a body related to judicial authority, with a very dominant function as the dominus litis principle, controls the case process that determines whether a person can be declared a defendant and is submitted to the Court based on legal evidence according to the Law, and as ambtenaar executive implementing the decision and court decisions in criminal cases. The SPPA Law material test is a struggle in the context of maintaining the constitutional rights of law enforcers in their duty and is not intended to reject diversion in handling ABH. This provision is related to the protection of the law enforcement profession guaranteed by the constitution. Even though the Supreme Court has declared article 96 of the SPPA Law being applied unconstitutional or revoked, it does not mean allowing law enforcers the police, judges, and prosecutors not to carry out diversion obligations.

Authors: Morinha Francisco , Magalhães Paula
Published: May 2020

The spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories about the novel coronavirus on social media has led to increased racist and xenophobic acts. The origin of the novel coronavirus is still unknown, but it has been widely discussed online. Viral genomics research will help us understand the origin, structure and evolution of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). We developed a simple one-minute Facebook survey to assess Portuguese residents’ perceptions about the origin of the SARS-CoV-2. The results revealed high levels of misinformation, mainly among those groups with lower educational attainment. Social media will need to take on the hard task of improving the quality of science communication and changing mindsets. Society at large will be responsible for preventing a future pandemic through the coordination and improvement of civic, political, educational and scientific approaches.

Published: May 2020

Because of his creativity, Kafka’s works have discussed and analyzed by the scholars for years. Interpretations of Kafka’s work has been done in various field of study, and among his writings, ‘A Hunger Artist’ isconsidered as the most transparent and clearest piece. However, the piece shows many bewildering complication of details. The artist’s obsession towards fasting has raised a number of questions; if he is into fasting then why he has to exhibit himself? This research aims to analyze the artist’s peculiar behavior by using Maslow’s concept of self-actualization. Maslow believed that in order to be able self-actualizing, a person must be brave enough to leave his comfort zone. This study shows that the artist fails in achieving Maslow’s concept of self-actualization as he stubbornly cling to the easiest thing he knows how to do, fast. Being able to fast more than forty days is not the expression of self-actualization because fasting is the comfort zone that he refused to let go.In addition, the artist’s obsession towards the spectator’s admirationhas prevent him from enjoying the exploration of his life and he lives in a constant depression. Ironically, the artist dies in hunger, an art that he totally masters.

Published: May 2020

Anaemia occurs due to several factors, such as deficiency of iron, folic acid, vitamin B12 and protein. Anemia is directly caused by the lack of red blood cell production, the body loses blood either acutely or in a chronic manner, and the destruction of red blood cells is too fast. One of the prevention of anaemia by providing functional food that is developed is tempe which has high quality and nutritional value. The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the potential of tempeh in increasing hemoglobin levels in patients with anaemia. This research is a literature review with a narrative method that studies and analyzes research results related to the potential of tempe to increase hemoglobin levels in patients with anaemia. The results of this study are the results of a literature review review which shows that Tempe contains an average of 2,0 mg of iron, folic acid 0,9-2,0 mg/kg according to the inoculum used and vitamin B12 raw tempe 0,08 μg/100 grams and cooked tempeh 0,14 μg/100 grams. The conclusion of this study states that tempeh has adequate nutritional value of protein, iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid, so that tempeh has the potential to increase hemoglobin levels in patients with anaemia. Expected, to be the basis of further research on genomics and genetic influences on human against tempe bioavailability as a functional food for adolescent anaemia. Anemia merupakan suatu keadaan jumlah sel darah merah atau kadar hemoglobin (Hb) dalam darah lebih rendah daripada nilai normal. Anemia terjadi karena beberapa faktor, diantaranya defisiensi besi, asam folat, vitamin B12 dan protein. Secara langsung anemia disebabkan kurangnya produksi sel darah merah, tubuh kehilangan darah baik secara akut atau menahun, dan hancurnya sel darah merah yang terlalu cepat. Salah satu pencegahan anemia dengan pemberian bahan pangan fungsional yang dikembangkan yaitu tempe yang mempunyai mutu dan nilai gizi tinggi. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis potensi tempe dalam meningkatkan kadar hemoglobin pada penderita anemia. Penelitian merupakan literature review dengan metode naratif yang mengkaji dan menganalisis hasil penelitian yang terkait dengan potensi tempe untuk meningkatkan kadar hemoglobin pada penderita anemia. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Tempe mengandung rata-rata zat besi sebanyak 2,0 mg, asam folat 0,9-2,0 mg/kg sesuai dengan inoculum yang digunakan dan vitamin B12 tempe mentah 0,08 μg/100 gram dan tempe matang 0,14 μg/100 gram. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menyatakan tempe mempunyai nilai gizi zat besi, vitamin B12, dan asam folat yang cukup, sehingga tempe berpotensi untuk meningkatkan kadar hemoglobin pada penderita anemia. Penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi dasar penelitian lanjutan mengenai pengaruh genomik dan genetik pada manusia terhadap bioavabilitas tempe sebagai pangan fungsional untuk remaja anemia.
The Role of Context in Educational RCT Findings: A Call to Redefine “Evidence-Based Practice”
Authors: Kaplan Avi , Cromley Jennifer , Perez Tony , Dai Ting , Mara Kyle , Balsai Michael
Published: May 2020

In this commentary, we complement other constructive critiques of educational randomized control trials (RCTs) by calling attention to the commonly ignored role of context in causal mechanisms undergirding educational phenomena. We argue that evidence for the central role of context in causal mechanisms challenges the assumption that RCT findings can be uncritically generalized across settings. Anchoring our argument with an example from our own multistudy RCT project, we argue that the scientific pursuit of causal explanation should involve the rich description of contextualized causal effects. We further call for incorporating the evidence of the integral role of context in causal mechanisms into the meaning of “evidence-based practice,” with the implication that effective implementation of practice in a new setting must involve context-oriented, evidence-focused, design-based research that attends to the emergent, complex, and dynamic nature of educational contexts.

Kehadiran Tuhan ditengah-tengah umat Israel adalah sebagai bentuk upaya dari inisiatif Tuhan sendiri agar umat-Nya dapat mengenal diri-Nya. Hal inilah yang belum dapat dipahami oleh orang percaya sampai hari ini. Oleh karena itu penting bagi orang percaya untuk mengetahui maksud dari penyataan Tuhan tersebut, dan bukan hanya sekedar berfokus pada berkat yang telah Tuhan janjikan dalam kehidupan setiap orang percaya. Dalam Keluaran 19:1-25 ini Tuhan berinisiatif memperkenalkan diri-Nya kepada umat Israel, dan Ia adalah Tuhan yang telah mengeluarkan Israel dari Mesir yang merupakan Pribadi yang Mahakekal, Mahakuasa yang tidak dapat dibatasi oleh ruang dan waktu serta Ia juga telah berjanji untuk memelihara, menjaga, melindungi dan memberkati bangsa Israel dampai selama-lamanya.
Makalah mengenai Narkotika ( Narkoba, Pstkotropika, dan Zat adiktif lainnya)

Published: May 2020

Narkotika sering disingkat dengan sebutan NAZA (Narkotika dan Zat Adiktif)/NAPZA (Narkotika, Alkohol, Psikotropika, dan Zat Adiktif). Psikotropika dan narkotika digolongkan ke dalam obat-obatan atau zat-zat yang berbahaya bagi kesehatan bila pemakaiannya disalahgunakan. Permasalahan narkoba di Indonesia masih merupakan sesuatu yang bersifat urgent dan kompleks. Dalam kurun waktu satu dekade terakhir permasalahan ini menjadi marak. Terbukti dengan bertambahnya jumlah penyalahguna atau pecandu narkoba secara signifikan, seiring meningkatnya pengungkapan kasus tindak kejahatan narkoba yang semakin beragam polanya dan semakin masif pula jaringan sindikatnya. Masyarakat Indonesia, bahkan masyarakat dunia, pada umumnya saat ini sedang dihadapkan pada keadaan yang sangat mengkhawatirkan akibat maraknya pemakaian bermacam-macam jenis narkoba secara ilegal. Kekhawatiran ini semakin di pertajam akibat maraknya peredaran gelap narkotika yang telah merebak di segala lapisan masyarakat, termasuk di kalangan generasi muda. Hal ini akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan bangsa dan negara pada masa mendatang. Perilaku sebagian remaja yang secara nyata telah jauh mengabaikan nilai-nilai kaidah dan norma serta hukum yang berlaku di tengah kehidupan masyarakat menjadi salah satu penyebab maraknya penggunaan narkoba di kalangan generasi muda. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari di tengah-tengah masyarakat masih banyak dijumpai remaja yang masih melakukan penyalahgunaan narkoba.

Software memiliki sifat bertolak belakang dengan hardware. Jika fisik hardware dapat disentuh, lain halnya dengan software, software tidak dapat disentuh dengan indra peraba secara fisik. Namun, software sangat penting dalam pengoprasian komputer. Karna tanpa software komputer hanya mesin yang tidak dapat dioperasikan dengan intruksi user. Sistem software dibuat dengan menggunakan bahasa pemrograman yang ditulis oleh programmer sehingga menjadi kode yang dapat dikenali perangkat keras.

Perangkat lunak (software) adalah istilah khusus untuk data yang diformat, dan disimpan secara digital. Perangkat lunak tersusun atas program yang menentukan apa yang harus dilakukan oleh komputer. Komputer harus melaksanakan instruksi yang terdapat dalam program untuk mendapatkan hasil yang berguna. Ada dua macam perangkat lunak yaitu sistem software dan application software. Sistem software berguna untuk mengatur file, me-load dan mengeksekusi program serta menerima perintah dari mouse atau keyboard. Sistem software biasa disebut dengan sistem operasi (operating system). Sedang application software adalah software yang digunakan untuk menyelesaikan suatu pekerjaan. Contoh application software adalah Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel

Across multiple experiments, we found that Americans misestimated the growth of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and that these estimates were in turn related to people’s forecasts of the duration of social distancing orders, and their own future adherence to these orders. We also investigated how mode of data presentation influences forecasting of future cases by showing participants data on the number of COVID-19 cases from a five-week period in either graphical or tabular form. We found that people shown tables produced more accurate forecasts compared to people shown line-graphs of the same data; yet, people shown line-graphs were more confident in their estimates. These findings suggest that graphs engender false-confidence in the accuracy of forecasts, that people’s forecasts of future cases may have important implications for their attitudes concerning social distancing, and that tables are better than graphs for informing the public about the trajectory of COVID-19.

In the coronavirus “infodemic”, people are exposed to both official recommendations and to potentially dangerous pseudoscientific advice claimed to protect against COVID-19. We examined whether irrational beliefs predict adherence to COVID-19 guidelines as well as susceptibility to such misinformation. Irrational beliefs were indexed by cognitive intuition, Type I error cognitive biases, COVID-19 knowledge overestimation, and belief in COVID-19 conspiracy theories. Participants (N=407) reported (a) how often they followed guidelines (e.g., handwashing), (b) how often they engaged in pseudoscientific practices (e.g., consuming garlic, colloidal silver), and (c) their intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Conspiratorial beliefs consistently predicted all three outcomes. Cognitive intuition and knowledge overestimation predicted lesser, while cognitive biases predicted greater adherence to guidelines. Cognitive intuition and cognitive biases predicted greater use of pseudoscientific practices. Our results highlight the irrational beliefs predictive of COVID-19 related health behaviors, with conspiracy theories proving to be the most detrimental.
Face Representation and Perceptual Processing in Mask-making
Authors: Prescott Nina , Graham Daniel
Published: May 2020

Mask-making is widely distributed in human culture and shows remarkablediversity. How are faces represented in masks, and how are these representations processedin the human brain? Here we asked if masks show systematic differences in structure andprocessing compared to natural faces. First, we assembled a large, diverse database of 138standardized mask images and measured structural features and ratios. We find that masksshow an increased length ratio exaggeration compared to painted portraits and naturalfaces, as well as larger variance in the length ratio compared to portraits and natural faces.Then, in order to understand how mask representations of the human face are processed inthe brain, we used a rapid symmetry detection task to compare upright and inverted stimuli.We predicted that there would be an inversion effect, namely that symmetry detectionaccuracy would be higher for upright compared to inverted stimuli, indicating theinvolvement of high-level face-specific processing. Instead, while performance for uprightand inverted masks was significantly above chance, there was no significant differenceacross subjects in performance for upright versus inverted masks (N=40). This result isconsistent with the notion that masks do not fully engage high-level cortical processingsystems specialized for the human face. Together, these studies suggest that masks aredesigned and processed in a way that may be distinct from how natural faces are processed.We conclude that handmade masks can serve purposes beyond face representation, despitemasks’ superficial functionality as face surrogates.
Towards equitable evolution & ecology learning online: a perspective from a first-time instructor teaching evolution during COVID-19
Authors: Wishart Andrea Elizabeth
Published: May 2020

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, the sudden shift to online offerings of higher education courses that would typically be taught face-to-face, has university administrators, educators, and students alike scrambling to prepare. The pedagogical movement towards active learning has always found a friend in the natural sciences, with laboratory and field components being standard to many programs. For instructors of ecology and evolution, the shift to online-only learning planned for autumn 2020 imposes limitations. As a first-time instructor teaching a course on evolutionary processes at the time of the COVID-19 outbreak, concurrent with being a student of a mentored teaching course and doctoral student in evolutionary ecology, I offer my perspective as a learner and an educator to guide decision-making by instructors. I emphasize the need to consider accessibility, equity, and compassion and the importance of building trust and a safe learning environment in the absence of face-to-face instruction. I describe some evolution-related resources and approaches to assessment I applied in the pivot-to-online context of March 2020, including COVID-19 teaching tools. Finally, I encourage scholars of evolution and ecology to bridge in contemporary scholarship on pedagogy to help teach the next generation of biologists.
Understanding drivers of change in park visitation during the COVID-19 pandemic: A spatial application of Big data
Authors: Rice William L. , Pan Bing
Published: May 2020

In the spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the daily lives of people around the world. In an effort to quantify these changes, Google released an open-source dataset pertaining to regional mobility trends—including park visitation trends. This dataset offers vast application potential, containing aggregated information from location data collected via smartphones around the world. However, empirical analysis of these data is limited. Namely, the factors causing reported changes in mobility and the degree to which these changes can be directly attributable to COVID-19 remain unknown. The goal of this study is to address these gaps in our understanding of both the changes in park visitation and the causes of these changes. Results suggest that seasonality, not the COVID-19 pandemic, serves as the primary driver of reported changes in park visitation. Specifically, latitude-driven seasonal changes significantly influence visitation trends. Median age of a county is also a statistically significant driver.
