How Reliable Are Personality Judgments by Political Experts? The Curious Case of Donald Trump
Authors: Joly Jeroen , Hofmans Joeri
Published: March 2023

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of personality in electoral politics. With the rise of populist and atypical personalities across stable and established democracies, pundits, journalists and other political experts often rely on their assessments of politicians’ personalities to explain their behavior. Additionally, numerous citizens depend on their expertise and assessments to form their own opinion. Given that most political experts have never personally met these politicians, how reliable are their assessments of high-profile politicians’ personality? We address this question by analyzing inter-rater reliability of ratings of US President Trumps’ personality by seven Belgian political experts. Using the NEO-FFI, our analyses indicate low inter-rater agreement on most of the Big Five personality traits and the facets of Trumps’ personality. Therefore, the excessive use of analyses based on third party assessments and interpretations of politicians’ personality should be regarded with caution given their potential impact on the wider public.
Body Mass in US Adolescents: Stronger Ties to Socioeconomic Status Than Personality
Authors: Weston Sara , Leszko Magdalena , Condon David
Published: March 2023

It is unclear whether socio- and individual-factors are uniquely related to adolescent BMI or capture the same underlying process or whether environment amplifies relationships between traits and BMI. We estimated the independent contributions of SES and individual factors to BMI percentile in a sample of 9,481 US adolescents. Across all models, SES was significantly associated with lower BMI percentile scores. Controlling for SES, cognitive functioning was associated with lower BMI percentile (Girls: b = -1.32 [-2.10, -0.54], p = .001; Boys: b = -1.84 [-3.10, -0.53], p = .005). Among adolescent girls, Neuroticism (b = 1.75 [0.94, 2.52], p < .001) and related narrow traits, among others, were associated with BMI percentile.’ There were no consistent interactions between SES and personality. In holdout samples, the best performing models included SES, cognitive functioning, and narrow traits. While individual differences may contribute independently to BMI, their contribution is much smaller than that of SES.

Authors: Chakraborty Dibyendu , Dhaka S.S.
Published: March 2023

The present investigation was undertaken to estimate the effect of non-genetic factors on different production traits of Murrah buffaloes maintained at Buffalo Research Centre, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, India. A total of 1128 lactation records of 326 Murrah buffalo were targeted to explore the effect of non-genetic factors. The production traits considered for the present study were lactation yield (LY), lactation length (LL), 305 days milk yield (305 MY), peak yield (PY), and days to attain peak yield (DAPY). The highest CV (%) was obtained for PY. The overall least squares means were 2118.10 ± 25.54 kg, 296.60 ± 3.23 days, 2053.88 ± 21.80 kg, 11.08 ± 0.08 kg, and 61.72 ± 1.02 days for LY, LL, 305 MY, PY and DAPY, respectively. The period of calving revealed a highly significant (P<0.01) effect on targeted traits except for LL. Animals in the fourth lactation revealed significantly the highest LY and PY. The effect of the season of calving was highly significant (P<0.01) on all the traits under study. Performances of animals calved during summer seasons were excellent for the traits under the present study. The effect of parity was highly significant (P<0.01) for all the traits under study except for DAPY where it was non-significant. The significant effects of different non-genetic factors like period of calving, the season of calving, and parity of animals on different production traits of Murrah buffaloes indicate that adjustment of effect of non-genetic factors is important for accurate and unbiased estimates of genetic parameters and selection of superior animals.

A case report of successfully treated metachronous gastrointestinal stromal tumor and colon cancer
Authors: Heo Young Jin , Lee Ji Young
Published: March 2023

The diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has become relatively common in recent years, but little is known about its association with other malignancies. We present a rare case of successfully treated metachronous GIST and colon cancer with concurrent FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) chemotherapy and imatinib. A 63-year-old man presented with abdominal pain that had started 2 weeks ago, and endoscopic ultrasonography showed masses that were compatible with GIST on the duodenum. He underwent Whipple surgery. One year after the GIST diagnosis, two liver masses were found on abdominal computed tomography images taken for surveillance. A liver biopsy showed metastatic adenocarcinoma, not GIST. Colonoscopy was then performed to identify the primary site of the metastatic adenocarcinoma in the liver, and sigmoid colon cancer was found. He received 12 cycles of adjuvant FOLFOX concurrently with adjuvant imatinib. There were no serious adverse events of grade 3 or higher from either imatinib or chemotherapy. He has completed adjuvant imatinib and FOLFOX chemotherapy and there is no evidence of disease recurrence. When a synchronous or metachronous tumor is found in a GIST patient, the clinician should keep in mind the possibility of another primary tumor of different histopathology, as well as GIST recurrence.
Development and validation of brand strategies evaluation scale for mobile network users
Authors: Khan Kamran , Mujitaba Ather
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Mobile network operators (MNO) use a variety of brand strategies in the Pakistani telecommunication market to entice mobile network users (MNU), but there was no standardized measure available that provides a fixed set of criteria for their brand strategies. To fill this knowledge gap, the primary goal of the current study is to design, develop and validate the Branding Strategies Evaluation Scale (BSES).
Design/methodology/approach: The mixed-methods model of scale development and validation was employed in various phases by splitting into two studies. In study 1, after piloting factorial validity of 23 items were surveyed on the sample of 150 conveniently available participants (90= male, 60= female) between ages ranging 16 to 52 years, of different mobile network users
Findings: Exploratory factor analysis unfolded five sub-factors of brand strategies with a high-reliability coefficient and internal consistency, including offer and services, competitive features, advertising strategies, brand identity and facilitation with money matters. The mean gender difference was observed only on the subscale of facilitation with money matters. In Study 2, the convergent validity of BSES was found significant by weighing its positive association with the Customer-Based Brand Equity Questionnaire (CBEQ). While the Customer Switching Intention Scale (CSIS) was used to determine BSES's discriminant validity, which revealed a significant negative correlation between the two measures. However, this is the first study intended to develop a standardized instrument for brand strategy evaluation of MNO.
Practical implications: The results of this research enable Mobile network operators (MNO) to understand what kind of branding strategies are useful and effective for customers. This measure will provide authentic understanding to local MNO about the effectiveness of their brand strategies from consumer perspectives. Likewise, for academics, current research provides a gateway to asses customers' choices in a broader way in different regions for brand preferences and branding strategies used by different cellular companies.

Initialement, ce questionnaire a été conçu pour des personnes du monde du travail dans le but d’évaluer les composantes de la collaboration (communication, synchronisation et coordinations explicite et implicite) mobilisées en présentiel. Les résultats des analyses factorielles confirmatoires de second ordre appuient les qualités métriques du questionnaire original. La collaboration en ligne et en présentiel pourraient être mesurées à l’aide de ce questionnaire dans un cours universitaire hybride. L’étude mobilise des connaissances sur l’évaluation de la collaboration, une voie scientifique peu connue à ce jour.
PAUL’S PRO-SEX ANTI-DESIRE STANCE
Authors: Punt Jeremy
Published: March 2023

In the New Testament, Paul’s letters are characterised by an uneasiness with desire far more than with sex. Traditionally, this distinction is not made, and concerns with ἐπιθυμία (desire) and πορνεία (sexual immorality) are often explained by an appeal to eschatology. Contemporary gender patterns constitute a more appropriate heuristic framework for Paul’s utilitarian and at times positive understanding of sex, compared to his consistent resistance to desire. Examples are offered of Paul’s anti-desire, pro-sex stance.
PROPHECIES AND PRINCESSES: MOSES IN EGYPT AND ETHIOPIA ACCORDING TO JOSEPHUS
Authors: Westwood Ursula
Published: March 2023

Josephus’ account of Moses’ birth and upbringing in the Jewish Antiquities includes much extra-biblical material, including an extended account of his military campaign in Ethiopia. This material has often been studied as independent episodes, particularly with a view to finding Josephus’ sources. By reading the preliminary stages of Moses’ life together, this article shows that Josephus’ narrative is well-integrated in its themes and structure, as well as revealing the historian’s core concerns about Moses’ perceived ethnicity and capacity to be a loyal member of a foreign court, both reflecting Josephus’ own writing context and immediate audience among the Greek speakers in Flavian Rome.

Computation offloading has effectively solved the problem of terminal devices computing resources limitation in hospitals by shifting the medical image diagnosis task to the edge servers for execution. Appropriate offloading strategies for diagnostic tasks are essential. However, the risk awareness of each user and the multiple expenses associated with processing tasks have been ignored in prior works. In this article, a multi-user multi-objective computation offloading for medical image diagnosis is proposed. First, the prospect theoretic utility function of each user is designed considering the delay, energy consumption, payment, and risk awareness. Second, the computation offloading problem including the above factors is defined as a distributed optimization problem, which with the goal of maximizing the utility of each user. The distributed optimization problem is then transformed into a non-cooperative game among the users. The exact potential game proves that the non-cooperative game has Nash equilibrium points. A low-complexity computation offloading algorithm based on best response dynamics finally is proposed. Detailed numerical experiments demonstrate the impact of different parameters and convergence in the algorithm on the utility function. The result shows that, compare with four benchmarks and four heuristic algorithms, the proposed algorithm in this article ensures a faster convergence speed and achieves only a 1.14% decrease in the utility value as the number of users increases.

Background

Long COVID is new or ongoing symptoms at four weeks or more after the start of acute COVID-19. However, the prevalence and factors associated with long COVID are largely unknown in Malaysia. We aim to determine the proportion and factors associated with long COVID among COVID-19 patients in Port Dickson, Malaysia. The positive outcomes of our long COVID active detection initiative were also described.

Methods

This was a retrospective analysis of long COVID data collected by the Port Dickson District Health Office between 1 September 2021 to 31 October 2021. Monitoring long COVID symptoms was our quality improvement initiative to safeguard residents’ health in the district. The study population was patients previously diagnosed with COVID-19 who resided in Port Dickson. The inclusion criteria were adults aged 18 years and above and were in the fifth week (day 29 to 35) post-COVID-19 diagnosis during the data collection period. We called all consecutive eligible patients to inquire regarding long COVID symptoms. Long COVID was defined as new or ongoing symptoms lasting more than 28 days from the date of positive SARS-CoV-2 by polymerase chain reaction test. Binary multivariate logistic regression was conducted to determine factors associated with long COVID.

Results

Among 452 patients, they were predominantly male (54.2%), Malays (68.8%) and aged 18–29 years (58.6%). A total of 27.4% (95% CI [23.4–31.8]) of patients experienced long COVID symptoms and were referred to government clinics. The most frequent long COVID symptoms experienced were fatigue (54.0%), cough (20.2%), muscle pain (18.5%), headache (17.7%) and sleep disturbance (16.1%). Females, patients with underlying cardiovascular disease, asthma and chronic obstructive airway disease, those who received symptomatic care, and patients with myalgia and headaches at COVID-19 diagnosis were more likely to have long COVID. Three patients with suspected severe mental health problems were referred to the district psychologist, and ten patients with no/incomplete vaccination were referred for vaccination.

Conclusion

Long COVID is highly prevalent among COVID-19 patients in Port Dickson, Malaysia. Long-term surveillance and management of long COVID, especially among the high-risk groups, are needed as we transition to living with COVID-19.

Background

The subgenus Syrrhophus (genus Eleutherodactylus) contains >40 species of small, direct-developing frogs that occur at low to moderate elevations from Texas through Mexico and into Guatemala and Belize, with two species in western Cuba. Morphological conservatism and phenotypic convergence have made species delimitation challenging and resulted in a complicated taxonomic history. Since 2015, molecular systematic work has uncovered eleven new species from western Mexico and one from eastern Mexico, but current taxonomy still underestimates species level diversity and there is confusion surrounding the validity and boundary of several species.

Methods

We used phylogenetic analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, multivariate statistical analysis of morphological data, and bioacoustic analysis of male advertisement calls to discover two additional unnamed species of Eleutherodactylus from Central and Western Mexico. We describe those species here.

Results

Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) humboldti sp. nov. is described from the Quaternary Valle de Bravo volcanic field of the Eje Neovolcánico in Central Mexico. This species is sister to E. maurus and is 3% divergent in 16S. Eleutherodactylus (Syrrhophus) jamesdixoni sp. nov. is described from the Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico. This species is sister to E. nitidus and is 3% divergent. We provide color photographs, advertisement call recordings, and molecular diagnoses of these new species and their sister species to aid future workers.
An Empirical Analysis of the Use of Discourse Markers by Second Language Learners Based on Cognitive Linguistics
Authors: Wei Shi
Published: March 2023

An empirical analysis of the use of discourse markers by the second language learners based on cognitive linguistics is conducted in this paper. For complex and abstract syntactic forms, internal resources alone are not enough, and external forces are needed to make learners focus on such target language forms, hence in this paper, we combine the Discourse Markers. The cognitive translation view holds that there are multiple interactions in translation, and this multiple interaction is reflected in the cognitive subject, between the source language and the translator, and this will guide the general performance. The combinational study will help us to better understand the tasks and find out thesolutions.

Landslides, whether induced by nature, or human activities, are one of the most prominent disasters which are of great concern in the world. They cause a lot of havoc to the environment hence a necessity to avoid them whenever possible. This literature review is basically aimed at finding out how Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies are used in avoiding landslides and risks associated with them at different levels; Challenges encountered while using GIS and RS techniques for landslide disaster risk reduction are identified; and therefore, dealing with them requires the involvement of developed countries who have the capacity to provide the necessary equipment to the developing countries that are faced with disasters. This study discusses the use of GIS and RS in mitigation of risks from landslides, and mainly points out how these techniques are applied to avoid disaster risks.  Secondary data was reviewed from journal articles, institutional reports, and online publications from similar studies. GIS and RS tools are important in predicting, monitoring and managing landslide disasters.  It was concluded that GIS and RS tools provide cheaper, reliable, and faster techniques of accessing spatial data in a given area, therefore regarded as essential technologies that may be necessary for predicting landslide occurrences, these technologies need to be considered in communities which are prone to landslides.
