Data sharing in experimental fear and anxiety research: From challenges to a dynamically growing database in 10 simple steps
Authors: Ehlers Mana R , Lonsdorf Tina B
Published: July 2022

Data sharing holds promise for advancing and accelerating science by facilitating and fostering collaboration, reproducibility and optimal use of sparse resources. We argue that despite the existence of general data sharing guidelines (e.g, FAIR-principles), their translation and implementation requires field-specific considerations. Here, we addressed this timely question for the field of experimental research on fear and anxiety and showcase the enormous prospects by illustrating the wealth and richness of a curated data collection of publicly available datasets using the fear conditioning paradigm based on 103 studies and 8839 participants. We highlight challenges encountered when aiming to reuse the available data corpus and derive 10 simple steps for making data sharing in the field more efficient and sustainable and hence facilitating collaboration, cumulative knowledge generation and large scale mega-, meta- and psychometric analyses.We share our vision and first steps towards transforming such curated data collections into a homogenized and dynamically growing database allowing for easy contributions and for living analysis tools for the collective benefit of the research community.We share our vision and first steps towards transforming such curated data collections into a homogenized and dynamically growing database allowing for easy contributions and for living analysis tools for the collective benefit of the research community.
Why are beliefs in different conspiracy theories positively correlated across individuals? Testing monological-network vs. unidimensional factor model explanations
Authors: Williams Matt N , Marques Mathew daCosta , Hill Stephen Robert , Kerr John R , Ling Mathew
Published: July 2022

A substantial minority of the public express belief in conspiracy theories. A robust phenomenon in this area is that people who believe one conspiracy theory are more likely to believe in others. But the reason for this “positive manifold” of belief in conspiracy theories is unclear. One possibility is that a single underlying latent factor (e.g., “conspiracism”) causes variation in belief in specific conspiracy theories. Another possibility is that beliefs in various conspiracy theories support one another in a mutually reinforcing network of beliefs (the “monological belief system” theory). While the monological theory has been influential in the literature, the fact that it can be operationalised as a statistical network model has not previously been recognised. In this study, we therefore tested both the unidimensional factor model and a network model. Participants were 1553 American adults recruited via Prolific. Belief in conspiracies was measured using an adapted version of the Belief in Conspiracy Theories Inventory. The fit of the two competing models was evaluated both by using van Bork et al.’s (2018, 2019) method for testing network vs. unidimensional factor models, as well as by evaluating goodness of fit to the sample covariance matrix. In both cases, evaluation of fit according to our preregistered inferential criteria favoured the network model.
No Money Bail, No Problems? Trade-offs in a Pretrial Automatic Release Program
Authors: Albright Alex
Published: July 2022

Many jurisdictions across the United States are implementing bail reform programs to reduce the use of money bail. Bail reform opponents argue that money bail is critical for averting pretrial misconduct, while proponents counter that the effects are small and not worth the consequent costs of pretrial detention. I examine this detention-misconduct trade-off using a program in Kentucky that automatically released people arrested for low-level offenses – people who usually would have had financial conditions for release from jail. I find that the program reduced total annual time in pretrial detention by over 25 person-years with no detectable effect on pretrial rearrest. Meanwhile, the program increased the number of annual court non-appearances by about 364. This trade-off is desirable if 1 court non-appearance is less costly than 26 days in detention.

Published: July 2022

The current paper has presented the data on the organization of primary seed production of spring barley. There has been considered the concept of “primary” seed production, which is based on the individual-family method of selecting families with a two-year estimation of progeny, which allows preserving and identifying varieties according to the most important economic and biological traits and properties. There has been emphasized an importance of using qualified seeds in the preservation of the variety. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the varietal and sowing qualities of spring barley varieties in the primary links of seed production in the conditions of the Rostov region. The study was carried out in the research crop rotation of the laboratory for primary seed production in 2019–2021. In the study there were used 7 spring barley varieties developed by the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”. There was found that the field and laboratory culling in the nurseries for testing a first-year progeny varied from 16.6 to 45.3%; and in the nurseries for testing a second-year progeny it ranged from 13.6 to 33.3%. There was determined that the largest productivity was formed by the varieties ‘Priazovsky 9’ (7.3 t/ha) and ‘Gris’ (7.4 t/ha) in 2019, and by the varieties ‘Gris’ (7.5 and 6.3 t/ha), ‘Fedos’ (8.0 and 6.1 t/ha) and ‘Format’ (7.6 and 6.3 t/ha) in 2020 and 2021. 1000-seed weight of more than 45 g was produced by the varieties ‘Priazovsky 9’, ‘Gris’ and ‘Format’. There was found out that the yield of qualified seeds changed from 73.9% (the variety ‘Shchedry’) to 80.6% (the variety ‘Ratnik’) in 2019, from 70.0% (the variety ‘Shchedry’) to 76.0% (the variety ‘Gris’) in 2020, from 68.1% (the variety ‘Shchedry’) to 78.4% (the variety ‘Format’) in 2021. There was established that the seed material of all spring barley varieties met the requirements of GOST according to the main sowing and varietal indicators, such as seed purity, moisture, germination energy and sowing suitability.

Published: July 2022

The current paper has presented data on the study of the flag leaf conducting system of winter wheat grown under drought in the period of 2018–2020. The objects of the study were 10 winter wheat varieties, developed by the researchers of the FSBSI «ARC «Donskoy». The purpose of the work was to study the influence of the development degree of the leaf conducting system of winter wheat under conditions of simulated drought on productivity and 1000-grain weight. When studying samples under conditions of simulated drought, there were obtained data on the development of the leaf conducting system (number and total area of vascular bundles). As a result of the study, there was established that when developing under conditions of insufficient moisture supply, the varieties ‘Etyud’, ‘Zodiak’, ‘Asket’, ‘Zhavoronok’ and ‘Ermak’ had the maximum number of vascular bundles in the leaves and a minimum decrease of the triat ‘1000-grain weight’ and productivity in relation to optimal growing conditions. The identified samples had the following indicators: the variety ‘Etyud’ (47 pieces, on 9.2 and 27.3%), the variety ‘Zodiak’ (53 pieces, on 10.5 and 30.5%), the variety ‘Ascetik’ (51 pieces, on 11.7 and 31.1%), the variety ‘Zhavoronok’ (49 pcs., on 12.6% and 27.5%) and the variety ‘Yermak’ (50 pcs., on 12.6% and 30.8%), respectively, which indicates the drought resistance of the varieties. There has been found a strong and medium positive correlation between the traits ‘number of bunches’ and ‘1000-grain weight’ (r=0.74) with productivity (r=0.68). A powerful leaf conducting system in arid conditions was determined in the varieties ‘Yubiley Dona’ (13.080 µm²), ‘Podarok Krymu’ (11.339 µm²), ‘Etyud’ (11.003 µm²), ‘Zodiak’ (10.907 µm²), ‘Premiera’ (10.560 µm²), which are able to provide emerging grains with a sufficient quantity of organic substances.

In the Republic of Tatarstan, due to favorable soil-climatic and market conditions, spring wheat production is developed, but wheat grain yields are limited by a number of unfavorable factors, one of which is a spread of fungal diseases. At the same time, the pressure of pathogenic fungi makes it possible to carry out fruitful breeding work in Tatarstan on resistance to diseases, which is on of the main activity of the Kazan Research Center of the RAS. The purpose of the current study was to estimate ten new varieties for resistance to major fungal diseases. The study on resistance to leafy diseases, such as powdery mildew, stem rust, brown leaf rust, dark brown leaf blotch was carried out at a natural infectious background, to kernel smut on an artificial infectious background inoculating seeds with spores of kernel smut. The study was carried out between the years of 2017 and 2021. The analysis for the possible presence of stem rust resistance genes was performed by a PCR analysis. As a result of the study, there was found out that the varieties ‘Sto let TASSR’, ‘Balkysh’, ‘Khazine’, ‘Chistopolskaya’, ‘Bulyak’ had a complex resistance to all studied diseases. The variety ‘Sitara’ had a strong field resistance to powdery mildew and kernel smut. The variety ‘Barakat’ had a strong field resistance to powdery mildew and leaf rust. The variety ‘Nadira’ was moderately resistant to powdery mildew and dark brown leaf spot. The varieties ‘Ekada 265’ and ‘Ekada 282’ were highly resistant to local stem rust populations. The molecular genetic estimation of the stem rust resistant varieties of spring bread wheat ‘Chistopolskaya’, ‘Sto let TASSR’, ‘Balkysh’, ‘Ekada 282’ for the identification of effective Sr-genes has shown that their resistance is apparently regulated by the Sr31 gene.
Deconstructing the Atlases: Jaime Cortesão and the Transformation of the Atlas Histórico do Brasil into the Atlas Histórico Escolar

Published: July 2022

Le projet d’un Atlas Histórico do Brasil (« Atlas historique du Brésil »), proposé en 1938 par le ministère des Affaires étrangères du Brésil à la veille de la commémoration du 50e anniversaire de la République, s’est concrétisé en 1959 sous le titre d’ Atlas Histórico Escolar (« Atlas historique scolaire »). Conçu comme un outil d’apprentissage et de mémorisation de l’histoire nationale et des aspirations pacifiques, humanistes et internationales du Brésil, l’ouvrage enseignait aux élèves le rôle des diplomates à cet égard. En examinant la transformation de l’ Atlas Histórico do Brasil en Atlas Histórico Escolar, nous observons la récupération et le dépassement de contenus antérieurs, celui notamment des atlas géographiques brésiliens, et nous discernons les disputes et les tensions qui ont animé sa production. Notre étude, en éclairant la production des atlas historiques dans leur ensemble, nous permet de repenser le rôle de l’histoire de la cartographie en rapport à sa théorie, et suggère qu’il est possible d’envisager une analyse non-régulière et non-linéaire des atlas et des cartes.

Published: July 2022

Minimally invasive approaches are becoming increasingly popular and contributing to improving the results of the surgical treatment of a wide variety of intracranial pathologies. Fifteen patients with posterior cranial fossa tumors underwent microsurgery through the atlanto-occipital membrane without resection of any bone structures. Tumors were localized in the brainstem in 8 patients and in the fourth ventricle in 7 patients. According to preoperative MRI and CT scans, the distance between the posterior arch of the atlas and the opisthion ranged from 9.9 to 16.5 mm (median 13 mm). The surgery was performed with the patient in the prone position and the head flexed. The trajectory of the surgical approach was directed from the skin incision located above the C2 spinous process 3.5–4 cm rostral along the midline. Total tumor resection was performed in 10 patients, subtotal resection in 2 patients, partial resection in 1 patient, and open biopsy in 2 patients. Surgical complications occurred in only 1 patient (meningoencephalitis). This minimally invasive trans–atlanto-occipital membrane approach for posterior cranial fossa tumors provides adequate visualization of the caudal part of the fourth ventricle and brainstem when the anthropometric parameters of the patient are suitable.
Accuracy and efficiency using frameless transient fiducial registration in stereoelectroencephalography and deep brain stimulation

Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

Stereotactic surgical methods continue to advance technologically. Frameless transient fiducial registration (FTFR) systems have been developed and avoid the need to move or position a patient in a frame after already receiving registration imaging. One such system, Neurolocate, has recently become available as a robotic attachment for the Neuromate stereotactic robot. This study is the largest in the literature to evaluate the accuracy of frameless registration using Neurolocate versus frame-based registration (FBR) methods in both deep brain stimulation (DBS) and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). Additionally, the authors sought to reevaluate factors affecting accuracy in both procedures.

METHODS

This study was a retrospective chart and imaging review of 88 consecutive procedures (involving 621 electrodes) implanting either DBS or SEEG at the authors’ institution over a 5-year period from March 2015 to March 2020. Registration duration, radial target entry point, and Euclidean target implantation accuracies, as well as factors affecting accuracy, were recorded for each patient.

RESULTS

SEEG procedures included 38 patients and 525 implanted electrodes (294 using FBR and 231 using FTFR). DBS procedures included 50 patients and 96 implanted electrodes (65 using FBR and 31 using FTFR). Overall, FTFR registration was significantly more accurate (median 0.1 mm, IQR 0–0.4 mm) compared with FBR (median 1.3 mm, IQR 0.9–1.5 mm; p = 0.04). Likewise, FTFR had a significantly shorter duration of registration (median 84 minutes, IQR 77.3–95.3 minutes) when compared with FBR (median 110.5 minutes, IQR 107.3–138 minutes; p = 0.02). No significant differences were found when examining the radial entry point and Euclidean target implantation errors of each method.

CONCLUSIONS

FTFR with the Neurolocate system represents a technique that may decrease operative time while maintaining the high accuracy previously demonstrated by other stereotactic methods, despite an initial surgeon learning curve. It should be investigated in future studies to continue to improve stereotactic accuracies in neurosurgery.

Authors: Kumar Santosh , Jan Rafat , Rattani Salma , Yaqoob Adnan
Published: July 2022

Introduction: The nursing discipline is considered an integral part of the health care delivery system. Effective nursing practice needs the application of knowledge, skills, critical thinking, and art of care in an efficient, effective, and considerate method. This can be achieved through an amalgamation of understanding, practice, and nursing theories. The theory provides a logical way to organize for and give direction to nursing care. Theory-guided nursing practices act as a fundamental framework for the development of proactive and organized nursing care that assist to improve quality nursing care. Aim: The paper aims to elaborate on the theory-guided nursing practice by utilization of the Roy Adaptation Model in the clinical setup for delivering effective nursing care. Methodology: This paper will illustrate the case study of a breast cancer patient and the application of Sister Calista Roy’s Adaptation Model into nursing practice and the nursing process. Discussion: Theory-guided assessment, nursing care, and interventions provide the foundation for the development of suitable and meaningful nursing practices. Theories and models provide a basis for quality nursing practices and are considered a vital component of patient, family, and community care. Conclusion: The theory-guided practices are more efficient and possess better control over the outcome of nursing care through a purposeful and systematic approach.
TRANSFORMATION OF HOLIDAY CULTURE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE REVOLUTION OF DIGNITY
Authors: Kuzmenko Taras
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to characterise the development of modern holiday culture under the influence of the Revolution of Dignity and to study its impact on modern cultural processes in Ukraine. Holiday culture unites various historical and cultural stages of Ukrainian society. At the same time, at the present stage of development, holidays acquire new expressive and symbolic forms, unite citizens with common ideas, and create the spiritual core that unites us into a conscious nation. The research methodology involves the use of general scientific, historical, comparative, analytical, and axiomatic methods for a systematic analysis of the impact of the Revolution of Dignity on the holiday culture of Ukraine in the 21st century. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the article outlines general trends in the development of the Ukrainian holiday calendar after the Revolution of Dignity and in the context of the Russian- Ukrainian war since today’s social challenges affect changes in the new holiday calendar of Ukrainians. Conclusions. The article provides an analysis of the development of modern holiday culture under the influence of the Revolution of Dignity and its impact on modern cultural processes in Ukraine. The transformation of traditional and familiar holidays is revealed. On the examples of the introduction of public holidays and anniversaries, the relationship between the main events of public life and the country’s holiday calendar is demonstrated. It is proved that Ukrainian holiday culture, as a phenomenon of the Ukrainian people, has an active influence on the development and formation of the national identity of both the younger generation and the adult population of the country. Thus, the uniqueness of the spiritual richness of the Ukrainian holiday makes it an invaluable pedagogical asset for educating young people, preserving national traditions for future generations.

Authors: Poplavskyi Mykhailo , Lastovskyi Valerii
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to find out the role of the Kievskaya Starina magazine in the study of Ukrainian art and its popularisation, as well as to identify the main trends of the publication of art studies materials in the magazine. The research methodology is based on both general scientific (logical and dialectical) and special methods (systematic, historical, and comparative). Scientific novelty. For the first time, the Kievskaya Starina magazine is analysed through the prism of publications of an artistic nature, the main varieties and role of such publications in the formation of Ukrainian art studies are identified. Conclusions. The Kievskaya Starina magazine, published in 1882–1906 during the existence of the Russian Empire under censorship and pressure on the Ukrainian cultural movement, had a significant impact on the formation and development of Ukrainian art studies. There are publications and documentary materials related to the development and state of Ukrainian art, paintings and music (in particular, the work of bandurysts and kobzars), architectural monuments, etc. The iconographic content of an artistic nature contains publications of reproductions of portraits of figures of Ukrainian culture, science, and politics, artistic illustration drawings that reproduced scenes from Ukrainian life, nature, architecture, individual household items, etc., in particular, there are reproductions of drawings by T. Shevchenko. The article defines the peculiarity of the approach to the publication of illustrative material, which serves not so much as an appendix to information, but as a propaganda of Ukrainian culture. The focus is on the initiation of certain scientific areas, in particular the iconography of the Ukrainian Cossack elite, during the functioning of the magazine. It is proved that many Ukrainian cultural and artistic figures (D. Antonovych, I. Karpenko-Kary, M. Kropyvnytskyi, M. Lysenko, O. Slastion, D. Shcherbakivskyi, etc.) of the late 19th – early 20th centuries are directly connected with the publication of the magazine as authors or editorial members, which confirms the special significance of Kievskaya Starina in cultural and art studies discourse. Today, it still has scientific potential due to the concentration of a significant amount of relevant information.
PROBLEM SPACE OF UKRAINIAN CULTURAL STUDIES: 2019–2021 EXPERIENCE
Authors: Sabadash Yuliia
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to analyse a number of collections of scientific works that have actualised culturally oriented issues. The research methodology is based on general scientific principles, namely terminological and systemic, and has determined the use of such research methods as analysis, synthesis, and generalisation. Emphasis is placed on the potential of a personalised approach, which outlines the theoretical and practical interests of domestic scientists, and allows adjusting the research space of Ukrainian humanities. Scientific novelty. The process of developing arguments on the special features of the interaction of different humanities in the field of culturology and the gradual development of the principles of culturological analysis is reproduced on the example of regular scientific publications. Conclusions. The subject of collections of scientific articles of 2019–2021 showed a noticeable interest in the following theoretical issues, namely: further improvement of the conceptual and categorical “support” of cultural research, reconstruction of the process of formation of the phenomenon of “turn” with an in-depth analysis of “anthropological”, “linguistic”, “cultural” turns and identification of “pros” and “cons” of such a theoretical construction. A prominent place is occupied by issues that reveal the “intersection zone” of cultural studies with other humanities: philosophy, history, psychology, and art studies. Significant publications are those that focus on the history of culture as the basis for the formation of cultural studies. A significant segment in modern cultural studies belongs to the issue of the specific character of art, which organically combines the history and theory of culture, having a clear significance for outlining the ways of further development of Ukrainian art studies.
ELEMENTS OF ART STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL RESEARCH OF PETER BIZZILLI
Authors: Gamaliia Kateryna
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to consider the Professor’s contribution at Odesa University, P. Bizzilli, to the domestic medieval studies formation. The reconstruction of the people’s spiritual universe of the past epoch, initiated by P. Bizzilli, is one of the important components of the methodology of humanitarian research, characteristic of many representatives in modern medieval studies. After the romantics of the nineteenth century, interest in the Middle Ages gained new development in the early twentieth century, which contributed to his research at European universities. During the century, M. Bloch (1973), J. Huizinga (1988), M. Barg (1987), J. Le Goff (2005, 2008), U. Eco (2003, 2004) addressed this topic, exploring in detail the features of medieval culture. L. Karsavin (1995), O. Dobiash-Rozhdestvenska (1987) and P. Bizzilli (1916, 1993a, 1993b, 1993c, 1995) should be singled out as active figures in the formation of medieval studies centres in Ukraine. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the medieval works of P. Bizzilli from the standpoint of art history were analysed. Conclusions. P. Bizzilli, considering the main elements that make up the medieval picture of the world, comes to conclusions that coincided with and preceded the creative discoveries of his contemporaries (I. Greaves, L. Karsavin, O. Dobiash-Rozhdestvenska). In particular, it applies to the features of medieval art, the nature of which P. Bizzilli associated with the characteristic of medieval man’s life concept. He considered universalism, symbolism and hierarchy to be the defining features of the medieval worldview, envisaging the formulation of relevant problems by the following authors. A comparative analysis of the medieval works of P. Bizzilli, his contemporaries and researchers in the next years allows us to conclude that among the fields of humanities in which his ideas remain relevant should be called art history. One of the important conclusions of P. Bizzilli was the statement that the formula of medieval culture was symbolism and hierarchy. Medieval fine art, rich in complex and finely designed symbolism, is reduced to understanding and revealing the symbolic meaning of the surrounding reality.

Research methodology. The author has applied the method of generalisation, which allowed us to review the intertextuality issue in humanitarianism and systematise observations on associative musical texts; a methodological definition procedure has allowed determining the category of associative musical text; a typological approach has provided the possibility of differentiating associative musical text; methods hermeneuticalsemantic, intonation and comparative analysis, which have become the basis for identifying the intonation and dramatic specifics of the works reviewing. Scientific novelty. The author has proposed the concept of an associative musical text, representing three scientific positions: definition, typology (10 types), and research methodology. Conclusions. The article proves the associative musical text concept as a categorically independent, functional, or contemporary composer’s thinking. It is found that associative musical text, as one of the basic, technologically developed mechanisms of text formation in modern music, is the sphere of activation of meanings that is always different, aimed at dialogue or counterdialogy with the primary source, author, era and its socio-cultural priorities. The theory reasoning for the concept is carried out based on “Сarpe Diem” by the Ukrainian composer A. Bezborodko and “Biber. Battalia a 10 (with pieces by PatKop from “Ghiribizzi”) by Moldovan and Swiss artist P. Kopachynska. Various trends in the work of a modern composer with intertext are studied: from Game modelling of “fragments” of old texts with the discovery of their unexpected figurative and semantic resources (“Сarpe Diem” by A. Bezborodko) to adaptation in a new artefact of a complete composition of the past (“Bieber. Battalia” by P. Kopachynska). The article has proven the significance of the associative musical text as a perfect heuristic mechanism of modern text formating, thanks to which there is the reconstruction and updating of “old” text phenomena and an alternative reputation of the modern author as a co-creator of a corporate artefact in the article.

Language Environment: From Concept to Principles of Creation
Authors: Pokholkov Yu. P. , Goryanova L. N.
Published: July 2022

Language environment is now being created and cultivated in most Russian universities. However, as a concept it has been defined quite fragmentary, and in many cases is completely ignored as something obvious and self-evident. In this paper, we conduct a literature review of most typical definitions of this phenomenon and identify a set of features underlying its understanding. We then propose a more precise definition of language environment and highlight the basic principles that contribute to its effective functioning and ensure the linguistic socialization of an individual. We suggest that our “definition-assumption” and the minimum set of principles should be at the core of university measures towards creating a foreign language environment.
