Word type effects in false recall: Concrete, abstract, and emotion word critical lures
Authors: BAUER LISA M. , OLHEISER ERIK L. , ALTARRIBA JEANETTE , LANDI NICOLE
Published: December 2022

Previous research has demonstrated that definable qualities of verbal stimuli have implications for memory. For example, the distinction between concrete and abstract words has led to the finding that concrete words have an advantage in memory tasks (i.e., the concreteness effect). However, other word types, such as words that label specific human emotions, may also affect memory processes. This study examined the effects of word type on the production of false memories by using a list-learning false memory paradigm. Participants heard lists of words that were highly associated to nonpresented concrete, abstract, or emotion words (i.e., the critical lures) and then engaged in list recall. Emotion word critical lures were falsely recalled at a significantly higher rate (with the effect carried by the positively valenced critical lures) than concrete and abstract critical lures. These findings suggest that the word type variable has implications for our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie recall and false recall.
Influences of gender role socialization and anxiety on spatial cognitive style
Authors: NORI RAFFAELLA , MERCURI NOEMI , GIUSBERTI FIORELLA , BENSI LUCA , GAMBETTI ELISA
Published: December 2022

Research on the relationship between personality and social factors in spatial cognitive style is sparse. The present research was conducted to help fill the gap in this domain. We investigated the influence of specific personality traits (masculine/feminine, spatial and trait anxiety), state anxiety, and sex on spatial cognitive style. One hundred forty-two participants completed a battery of spatial tasks in order to assess their spatial cognitive style and filled in questionnaires about the personality traits under examination. Results showed that state anxiety, spatial anxiety, sex, and masculine/feminine trait of personality are predictors of spatial cognitive style. More specifically, it seems that masculine/feminine trait mediates the relationship between sex and spatial cognitive style. Such findings confirm the importance of personality in determining differences in spatial representation.

The authors include researchers, curriculum specialists, psychologists, sociologists, and philosophers from both music and general education. Results from this study clearly indicate the wide variety of sources that impact the field of music education research.
The Development of a Guitar Performance Rating Scale using a Facet-Factorial Approach
Authors: Russell Brian E.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to identify the underlying aural factors of guitar performance by developing a guitar performance rating scale using facet-factorial techniques. The initial phase of the study included gathering items concerning the characteristics of a good or poor guitar performance from guitar performance literature, previously constructed rating scales, and statements from professional guitar players, guitar teachers, and college guitar majors. The item pool of statements was examined for suitability and placed into a priori categories established in previous research. The 99 item statements were paired with a five-point Likert scale and used by 67 volunteer judges to adjudicate 100 recorded samples of a wide range of guitar performance excerpts. The results of the 134 item pool adjudications were factor analyzed using a varimax rotation to identify the underlying factor structure and the items that best supported each factor. The results of the factor analysis yielded a five-factor structure consisting of interpretation, tone, technique, rhythm/tempo, and intonation. These factors accounted for approximately 71% of the total variance. The selection of the 32 items chosen to represent the factors of the Guitar Performance Rating Scale (GPRS) was based on factor loadings. Alpha reliability for the GPRS was estimated at .962 for the 32 item scale.
Perceptual and Acoustical Analyses of Second Graders’ Pitch-Matching Ability in Singing A cappella or with Piano Accompaniment
Authors: Hedden Debra Gordon , Baker Valerie Anne
Published: December 2022

This study was a preliminary investigation of pitch-matching accuracy under two conditions: a cappella and accompanied singing of a standard song. Two classes of second-grade children (N = 26) were taught "America" on a neutral syllable ("loo"), one class learning it a cappella and the other with piano accompaniment. They rehearsed the song during three class sessions and then were recorded singing a cappella and accompanied (taped piano music via headphones). The first nine pitches of the song were utilized for the study. The recordings were analyzed perceptually for pitch accuracy by three judges and acoustically through the Multispeech software program. Results indicated that inaccurate singing occurred 70% of the time when evaluated by the judges and 80% of the time when analyzed acoustically. There was no significant difference in accuracy among the nine pitches of the song. When singing conditions were compared, the perceptual analysis suggested a significant difference in singing accuracy under the a cappella condition; acoustical analysis did not demonstrate this difference.
Playing by Ear: Is Expert Opinion Supported by Research?
Authors: Musco Ann Marie
Published: December 2022

This literature review examines current thoughts, practices, and research on playing by ear, defined here as performance from memory of pre-existing music that was learned aurally without the aid of notation, without the visual stimulus of watching a live instrumental model, and without verbal hints such as being told the solfege. Research has investigated skill development with and without specific training, the correlation of skills with music reading and other variables, and the effects of play-by-ear instruction. There exists more research on learning by rote than learning by ear, and extant research is difficult to interpret because treatment protocols frequently involved a mix of instructional activities. Nonetheless, the literature to date supports the importance and efficacy of aural-based instructional activities, including learning by ear. The literature review concludes with a discussion of teacher concerns, potential resolutions, and suggestions for future research, which might include surveys of current practices, documented strategies for learning and teaching, longitudinal studies, and investigations that more clearly delineate the effects of learning by ear.
Investing Time: Teacher Research Observing the Influence of Music History and Theory Lessons upon Student Engagement and Expressive Performance of an Advanced High School String Quartet
Authors: Hendricks Karin S.
Published: December 2022

This teacher-conducted research observes the influence of music history and theory instruction upon motivation, engagement, and expressive performance of the author’s high school string students. Two diverse teaching approaches were introduced sequentially as students learned two movements of Schubert’s "Death and the Maiden" Quartet (D810). The first movement was taught using performance-based instruction only, while the second movement was taught with a combination of performance-based instruction and music history and theory lessons. Student comments and teacher observations revealed that the incorporation of music history and theory lessons into performance instruction was (a) motivational to students, (b) a catalyst for expressive performance, and (c) an effective use of rehearsal time. Independent adjudicator scores were higher for the second movement than for the first, although several additional explanations are given that may also explain the variation in scores. Pedagogical recommendations are provided for incorporating music history and theory lessons into performance rehearsals.
Detecting Event-Based Prospective Memory Cues Occurring within and outside the Focus of Attention
Authors: Hicks Jason L. , Cook Gabriel I. , Marsh Richard L.
Published: December 2022

Event-based prospective memory cues are environmental stimuli that are associated with a previously established intention to perform an activity. Such cues traditionally have been placed in materials that receive focal attention during an ongoing activity. This article reports a direct comparison of event-based cues that occurred either within the focus of attention or at the periphery of such attention. When the cue occurred outside focal attention, manipulating that cue changed event-based prospective memory. The identical manipulation had no effect on event-based responding if the cue occurred within focal attention. These results suggest that cue characteristics can compensate for attention being directed away from an aspect of an ongoing task that contains event-based prospective memory cues.
A Psychometric Analysis of Chess Expertise
Authors: Van Der Maas Han L. J. , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: December 2022

This study introduces the Amsterdam Chess Test (ACT). The ACT measures chess playing proficiency through 5 tasks: a choose-a-move task (comprising two parallel tests), a motivation questionnaire, a predict-a-move task, a verbal knowledge questionnaire, and a recall task. The validity of these tasks was established using external criteria based on the Elo chess rating system. Results from a representative sample of active chess players showed that the ACT is a very reliable test for chess expertise and that ACT has high predictive validity. Several hypotheses about the relationships between chess expertise, chess knowledge, motivation, and memory were tested. Incorporating response latencies in test scores is shown to lead to an increase in criterion validity, particularly for easy items.
Bimodal Format Effects in Working Memory
Authors: Goolkasian Paula , Foos Paul W.
Published: December 2022

This work combines presentation formats to test whether bimodal conditions offer advantages or disadvantages relative to single formats in working memory performance. A dual task that included recall of 3 or 6 items while verifying the accuracy of math sentences was used in 2 experiments. When comparisons were made between single- and dual-format conditions, there was an advantage for items presented as spoken words and pictures simultaneously and individually. In Experiment 2, dual-format conditions had incongruent information, and spoken words were found to interfere with recall of long sequences of pictures and printed words. The findings suggest that when dual-format items are the same, there are some performance advantages when spoken words are combined with pictures or printed words. When the dual formats are displaying different items, however, spoken words are a more powerful distractor than pictures or printed words, and verbal and visual short-term stores can demonstrate similar susceptibility to distractor interference.
Dissociation, Cognitive Failures, and Working Memory
Authors: Wright Daniel B. , Osborne Jessica E.
Published: December 2022

The relationships between two personality measures (dissociation and cognitive failures) and different measures of interference from secondary tasks for working memory are investigated. Although the personality and cognitive measures were correlated with one another, canonical and bivariate correlations revealed no systematic relationships between the personality measures and the working memory measures. The upper bounds of the confidence intervals showed that, at most, only 10% of the variance was shared. We discuss the implications for theories of dissociation and cognitive functioning.
Evidential Reasoning in the Prisoner’s Dilemma
Authors: Acevedo Melissa , Krueger Joachim I.
Published: December 2022

Classic game theory considers defection to be the rational choice in the Prisoner’s Dilemma. Although defection maximizes a player’s gain regardless of the opponent’s choice, many players cooperate. We suggest that cooperation can be explained in part by expectations of reciprocal behavior, that is, by the belief that players facing the same situation probably will come to the same decision. In Experiment 1, expectations of reciprocity were experimentally manipulated. As predicted, cooperation increased monotonically with these expectations. In Experiment 2, experimentally manipulated expectations of opponent cooperation were not associated with higher rates of cooperation. These findings are interpreted in light of a general model of payoff maximization, and implications for other models (e.g., social value orientation) are discussed.
Altering Mueller-Lyer Illusion Magnitude Using Figural Additions at the Wing-Shaft Intersections
Authors: Searleman Alan , Porac Clare , Dafoe Colette , Hetzel Brian
Published: December 2022

The Mueller-Lyer (ML) illusion has been used to study the way in which perceived length is affected by processes of information extraction when a visual target of interest (the ML shaft) is surrounded by other nontarget figural elements (inwardor outward-turning wings). It is argued that the perception of length is computed in terms of the center of gravity or centroid of figural elements at the wing-shaft intersection. The outward-turning wings shift the computational centroid away from the shaft end, giving rise to an erroneous overestimation of shaft length, while the inward-turning wings have the opposite effect. In three experiments, we observed that figural changes, which theoretically shifted the center of gravity of figural elements at the wing-shaft intersection, also increased or decreased the magnitude of the ML illusion.
Perceptions of Instrumental Music Teachers regarding the Development of Effective Rehearsal Techniques
Authors: Chaffin Charles R.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of two third-year instrumental music teachers concerning their early career development of successful rehearsal techniques. Participants were observed over the course of three days in their classroom environment and posed questions based upon the rehearsal techniques they incorporated into their instruction. Triangulation was achieved through interviews of both participants regarding the same subject matter, as well as interviews with the instrumental music teachers that work alongside the participants on a daily basis (in-house colleagues). Both participants credited their in-house colleague and reflection-on-action as the two most influential elements found within their teaching setting. Through those influences, the participants cited their development in regard to planning, pacing, repertoire selection, and classroom management. Regarding influential factors pursued outside of their teaching responsibilities, both participants identified their community colleagues as well as the act of recording of their own rehearsals as most beneficial to their development. The results of this study reinforce the need for early teaching experiences in combination with the acquisition of teaching techniques in pre-service music education methods courses. Experiences in pre-service instruction that facilitate reflection-on-action may also benefit early career music educators in their rehearsal technique development.
Pre-Service Teachers’ Perceptions of Early Childhood Music Teaching Experiences
Authors: Valerio Wendy H. , Freeman Nancy K.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this case study was to examine the reflections of pre-service early childhood and elementary education majors on their music teaching experiences that were a part of their undergraduate early childhood music methods course. The research questions guiding this investigation were: (a) How did participants perceive themselves and young children while they engaged in a series of early childhood pre-service music teaching experiences and (b) how did the participants perceive those experiences to influence teacher preparation and other life experiences? Participants were 6female undergraduates who completed a series of music teaching experiences and reflections during an early childhood music methods course. Each participant also agreed to be interviewed three semesters following the completion of the course. Three themes emerged with regard to the first research question: (a) developing confidence, (b) recognizing children’s music responses and development, and (c) adapting while teaching. Two themes emerged with regard to the second research question: (a) transferring music skills, content, and activities and connecting to community; and (b) using reflection for understanding child development and self-development. Participants gained experience at reflection-in-action, appreciated reflection on reflection, and valued repeated authentic music teaching experiences and developing reflective practices early in their academic careers.
The Perception of Music Learning among Parents and Students in Hong Kong
Authors: Ho Wai-Chung
Published: December 2022

Music education is not confined to the school context, nor does learning stop after school hours. The out-of school experiences ofchildren y especially those gained at home, are just as valuable. Parent involvementy in the form of listening to music, concert attendance, instrumental learning, and aspirations in music education, has significant direct as well as indirect effects on childrens attitudes towards music. 19 families, including 20 parents and their 21 children, revealed a number of complex and interconnected themes, which both aided and hindered students’ participation in, and learning about, music. The interview data show that: (a) though the parents and their children have different musical experiences, parents influence concert attendance, and offer financial support for childrens participation in music; (b) although instrumental learning is commonly found among students, parents often question the value of persistent learning; and (c) school music education is highly regarded by most parents though they do not expect their children to aspire to further development of their musical abilities in the future. By looking at examples of interactions between parents and children with respect to music participation and learning, this study challenges conventional notions of the extent to which parent involvement could have a positive effect on students’ attitudes toward music learning.
Predicting Jazz Improvisation Achievement through the Creation of a Path-Analytical Model
Authors: Ciorba Charles R.
Published: December 2022

The primary purpose of this study was to create a model to predict jazz improvisation achievement. The dependent variable was defined as jazz improvisation achievement and the independent variables were defined as: (a) self-assessment, (b) self efficacy, (c) motivation, (d) jazz theory knowledge, (e) academic achievement, (f) sight-reading ability, and (g) listening experience. A sample of high school students (N = 102) in grades 9 through 12 were chosen from 3 high schools in south Florida (n = 59) and 4 high schools in southeast Michigan (n = 43). The seven independent variables combined to account for 50% of the variance in jazz improvisation achievement. The path model revealed an adequate fit between theory and data (X² = 10.67, df= 11, p < .471), indicating that a model to predict jazz improvisation achievement can be created and statistically tested.
Support Structures Contributing to Instrument Choice and Achievement among Texas All-State Male Flutists
Authors: Taylor Donald M.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to examine social support structures that may contribute to instrument choice and achievement among successful high school male flutists. Participants included 18 males who earned a flute or piccolo position in a Texas All-State Band or Orchestra between 2003 and 2007. Each flutist participated in a semi-structured telephone interview that was recorded and transcribed for further analysis. Answers were coded to identify common experiences among the participants. Results demonstrated that most boys started playing the flute in conjunction with beginning band classes. Across all individuals interviewed, reasons frequently cited for choosing the flute included instrument timbre, physical appearance of the instrument y and social influences of friends who played the flute. Seventeen participants had studied with a private teacher, and most began instruction within 2 years of playing. The majority of flutists had multiple teachers throughout their years of study and participated in summer music camps. While most interviewees’ parents were not actively engaged in music making, the majority of flutists cited them as their strongest means of support. Conversely, almost every participant reported initial teasing from classmates which dissipated when they began winning competitions. While most reported knowing few other male flutists, nearly all cited professional male flutists as their favorite recording artists, including fames Galway, Jean-Pierre Rampal, and EmmanuelPahud. Almost all participants described the All-State experience as their greatest musical achievement in high school, which helped inform their future career choices.
The Effect of Teaching Experience on Time and Accuracy of Assessing Young Singers’ Pitch Accuracy
Authors: Hedden Debra G. , Johnson Christopher
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pre-service and practicing music teachers’ experience on time and accuracy of assessing young singers. A total of 55 participants – freshmen (n = 14) and senior (n = 17) music education students, and beginning (n = 12) and experienced (n = 12) music teachers – listened to stimuli containing in-tune and out-of-tune singing of the first nine pitches of America on a neutral syllable, assessing the pitch-matching accuracy of the singing. Participants heard twenty stimuli of second-grade singers and responded through the use of the Continuous Response Digital Interface (CRDI) device. Each stimulus was heard only once, with distraction music inserted between stimulus examples. Results indicated that freshman participants responded much more slowly to the stimuli than did the other three groups, and that all groups were much more accurate assessing out-of-tune singers than in-tune singers; though there were no overall differences in assessment accuracy between groups. Based on these data, the implications for teaching music were questioned, and though it is considered that latency and accuracy are important for successful music programs, the degree of importance they play is not completely clear.
Aesthetic Responses of Music and Non-Music Majors to Gradual Pitch Center Changes
Authors: Hancock Carl B.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine if music and non-music majors’ aesthetic responses are differentiated by gradually changing pitch center conditions. One hundred and forty-four university students listened to a professional recording of the second movement of Samuel Barbers Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 14 altered to have a gradually rising (sharper) or lowering (flatter) pitch center changing at a rate of 1/100 of a semitone (1 cent) per second. Participants recorded their aesthetic responses using a Continuous Response Digital Interface (CRDI). Results of a two-way ANOVA indicated a significant main effect for pitch condition and an interaction effect for major and pitch condition. Mean aesthetic response scores for music and non-music majors hearing the gradually flatter performance were lower than those for the unaltered condition. There was little difference in the scores of non-music majors between the gradually sharper and unaltered conditions, however, music majors’ mean scores were lower under the gradually sharper condition.
A Case Study of the Creation of a Technology-based Music Course
Authors: Dammers Richard J.
Published: December 2022

This study examines the process, motivations, and conditions surrounding the creation of a high school music technology class. The process was initiated by Steve, the school’s band director, who wanted to reach a broader portion of the school’s population. The process was facilitated by Diana, the district’s assistant superintendent, who believed in technology’s ability to engage students and in the importance of the arts in education. While Steve was able to address the pre-requisite concerns of scheduling and space, Diana was able to provide monetary support through external grant funding This study confirms and clarifies that technology-based music classes are being created by individual teachers, who believe that technology provides an opportunity to reach a new population of secondary students.
Missionaries to the Wilderness: A History of Land, Identity, and Moral Geography in Appalachia
Authors: Fraley Jill
Published: December 2022

This article revisits the relationship between missionaries and Appalachian stereotypes, bringing to the discussion new developments in geographical theory and the intellectual history of ideas of wilderness. The article argues that missionary activities during the early twentieth century are best understood through their beliefs about wilderness and particularly about the moral climate of man within it. In this way the missionaries also contributed to the process of intermingling ideas about the land and the people and thereby contributed to the formation of a quasi-ethnic regional identity in the American public consciousness—and also substantially changed Appalachia by applying a set of hierarchical land values that stemmed from ideas about wilderness.
Into the Crucible: The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and the Black Industrial Worker in Southern West Virginia, 1870 - 1900
Authors: Fain Cicero
Published: December 2022

While scholars have examined much about the black circums tance in the coalfields of southern West Virginia, little has been written about the lives and experiences of black migrants who arrived into the region to garner gainful employment as laborers on the upstart Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Leaving homes and families, pioneering black migrants, along with native whites and European immigrants, performed the critical backbreaking and dangerous work necessary to construct the railroad from the James River in Virginia through the tortuous New River Valley to the Ohio River. In the process, significant numbers died, many unceremoniously—victims of the twin demands of racism and wage-capitalism. Yet black labor, first on the C&O, and then in the coalmines of southern West Virginia, helped transform the region, linking it to the national and world economy. During and after construction many black migrants settled into the embryonic villages and towns that grew attendant to the railroad, including Huntington, West Virginia, founded in 1871 as a transshipment station for the C&O. Drawn by the promise of available jobs, increasing numbers of black migrants arrived into the town to perform the menial, dangerous, and routine urban-industrial jobs affiliated with the railroad. In the process, they helped link, in ways not dissimilar to the process initiated by the construction of the C&O, the town to the regional and national economy. Enduring occupational constraints and racism, but simultaneously beneficiaries of wage-capitalism, material gain, community, and family, black migrants and their labor helped transform the region and town. This article examines their experiences.
Effect of CGM Access Expansion on Uptake Among Patients on Medicaid With Diabetes
Authors: Ni Kevin , Tampe Carolyn A. , Sol Kayce , Richardson Douglas B. , Pereira Rocio I.
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Current studies on continuous glucose monitor (CGM) uptake are revealing for significant barriers and inequities for CGM use among patients from socially underprivileged communities. This study explores the effect of full subsidies regardless of diabetes type on CGM uptake and HbA1c outcomes in a U.S. adult patient population on Medicaid.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This retrospective cohort study examined 3,036 adults with diabetes enrolled in a U.S. Medicaid program that fully subsidized CGM. CGM uptake and adherence were assessed by CGM prescription and dispense data, including more than one fill and adherence by medication possession ratio (MPR). Multivariate logistic regression evaluated predictors of CGM uptake. Pre- and post-CGM use HbA1c were compared.

RESULTS

CGM were very well received by both individuals with type 1 diabetes and individuals with type 2 diabetes with similar high fill adherence levels (mean MPR 0.78 vs. 0.72; P = 0.06). No significant difference in CGM uptake outcomes were noted among major racial/ethnic groups. CGM use was associated with improved HbA1c among those with type 2 diabetes (−1.2% [13.1 mmol/mol]; P < 0.001) that was comparable between major racial/ethnic groups and those with higher fill adherence achieved greater HbA1c reduction (−1.4% [15.3 mmol/mol]; P < 0.001) compared with those with lower adherence (−1.0% [10.9 mmol/mol]; P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

CGM uptake disparities can largely be overcome by eliminating CGM cost barriers. CGM use was associated with improved HbA1c across all major racial/ethnic groups, highlighting broad CGM appeal, utilization, and effectiveness across an underprivileged patient population.

Published: December 2022

The first two decades of the twenty-first century may be rightly described as a blooming period of Children’s Literature Translation Studies (CLTS). This is true for the situation in many countries, including Poland. The steadily growing interest in this subdiscipline is also visible in the teaching offer of many universities, and in the choice of thesis topics chosen by B.A. and M.A. students of modern philology or linguistics. The goal of this paper is to analyse those B.A. and M.A. theses which focused on translated children’s literature within the last ten years at the University of Warsaw. The basis for the study is an analysis of the Graduate Theses Archives (APD), including thesis titles, keywords, and abstracts. In the analysis, the following aspects are examined: the research profile chosen by the students, the interdisciplinary character of the theses, their range of topics, as well as source and target languages considered. The paper will try to answer the questions as to how B.A. and M.A. students perceive the potential of analysing translated children’s literature within the broader field of translation studies, to what extent the issues they spotlighted reflect more advanced forms of academic work in CLTS, and how the topics relate to James Holmes’ “map” of Translation Studies and Göte Klingberg’s classification of research areas in the more specific field of translated children’s literature.
"A Descriptive Study on the Use of Subtitling as a Didactic Tool in Translation Courses at Spanish Universities "
Authors:   Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain, González Cruz Sonia
Published: December 2022

In the context of translator training, subtitling has already been included into some translation curricula as an independent discipline of study aiming at training future subtitlers. Several scholars have discussed about the benefits from using subtitling as an active tool to develop students’ translation competence in generic translation courses. However, there are few studies which focused on the use of active subtitling as a didactic tool in the field of translator training from a generic perspective. This article presents a descriptive study on the application of subtitling skills in generic translation courses which is carried out in the context of translator training at BA level in Spain. The main objective of this descriptive study is to present an overview on the use of subtitling in the translation classroom and analyze its level of implementation in non-audiovisual translation courses as a didactic resource that allows to develop the students’ translation competence. Thus, the degree of the inclusion of subtitling into translation curricula at different Spanish universities is presented by providing data collected from questionnaires to both translation students and trainers at BA level. In this way, questionnaires not only provide relevant data about the degree of inclusion of this didactic tool in generic translation courses but also intend to collect students and trainers’ experiences, opinions and expectations concerning the use of subtitling in a non-audiovisual translation context. Although the inclusion of subtitling into non-audiovisual translation courses is still quite low, the results of this study prove that subtitling leads to the activation of various general and specific competences in the translation classroom.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate an alternative treatment for bovine mastitis by using Pm11 antimicrobial peptide.

SAMPLE

5 bovine mastitis pathogens that were previously isolated from cows affected by either clinical or subclinical mastitis.

PROCEDURES

The current study introduces Pm11 antimicrobial peptide as an alternative treatment for bovine mastitis. The antibacterial activity of Pm11 was tested against Escherichia coli strain SCM1249, Klebsiella spp strain SCM1282, Staphylococcus aureus strain CM967, Streptococcus agalactiae strain SCM1084, and Streptococcus uberis strain SCM1310 using minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) and time-kill kinetics. The pathogens’ morphological changes were demonstrated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The cytotoxicity of Pm11 was assessed using the minimum hemolytic concentration assay.

RESULTS

MBCs ranged from 2.5 to 10 μM and IC50 ranged from 0.32 to 2.07 μM. Time-kill kinetics at MBC demonstrated that Pm11 reduced viable cell counts of S agalactiae strain SCM1084 and S uberis strain SCM1310 from 105 to 0 CFU/mL within 1 h. E coli strain SCM1249 and S aureus strain CM967 were reduced from 105 to 0 CFU/mL within 4 h. The average Pm11-induced hemolytic activity was < 10% for all Pm11 concentrations tested except at the maximum concentration tested (160 μM: 10.19 ± 2.29%). Based on SEM, Pm11 induced morphological and cellular changes in S aureus and E coli.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Pm11 antimicrobial peptide demonstrated in vitro antibacterial activity against the common bovine mastitis pathogens E coli, S aureus, S agalactiae, and S uberis, except Klebsiella spp, and should be further investigated in vivo.
Work Ability and Psychosocial Factors in Healthcare Settings During COVID-19 Pandemic – Specific Focus on Ageing Workers
Authors: Kurashvili Mari , Reinhold Karin , Järvis Marina
Published: December 2022

The paper aims to find out what kind of impact socio-demographic and psychosocial factors have on the work ability among healthcare workers during COVID-19 pandemic – specific focus on ageing workers. Work Ability Index (WAI) and the short version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ-III) were used to analyse the impact. 424 healthcare workers from Georgian and Estonian hospitals (including doctors and nurses) answered the questionnaires. On average, the sample had a good work ability, with 48.8 % viewing it as good and 29.3 % as excellent in Georgia, and 53.6 % of participants had a good and 15.4 % excellent work ability in Estonia. The COPSOQ showed critical values in the scales of “work pace” and “emotional demands”. These results were expected as the data were collected during the pandemic period. “Sleep troubles”, “burnout”, “depressive symptoms”, and “insecurity over working conditions” were the risk factors more likely associated with ageing (+55) health workers than younger ones. The scales “quantitative demands”, “work pace”, “job insecurity”, “burnout”, “stress”, “sleep troubles”, “offensive behaviours” and “depressive symptoms” were in negative correlation with WAI. The results show that the work ability is higher when these factors are lower. The scales “role clarity”, “recognition”, “sense of community at work”, “quality of leadership”, “organisational justice”, “self-efficacy”, “meaning of work”, “job satisfaction” and “possibilities for development” were the risk factors in positive correlation with WAI, thus acting as work ability preservative aspects.
Assessment of Urban Expansion and Identification of Sprawl Through Delineation of Urban Core Boundary

Cities are spatially expanding rapidly, leading to urban sprawl. This study aims to understand the nature of the urban expansion of Chennai city, located on India’s southeastern coast, by determining the urban growth pattern and identifying the urban sprawl areas. The urban growth pattern and sprawl areas between 1998 and 2019 are identified using remote sensing data through the delineation of the Urban Core Boundary (UCB). The urban areas were extracted from the Land Use Land Cover (LULC) classification using combined classification technique to delineate the UCB. All the findings were validated using ground truth information. LULC classification performed with an accuracy of more than 90 % for urban land cover revealed an increase in urban cover by 71.77% from 1998 to 2009 and

36.91 % from 2009 to 2019. The delineated UCB’s peripheral distance was measured from the city centre in an anticlockwise direction from 0˚ to 360˚ at every 10˚ interval. It is observed that the urban core boundary expanded to a maximum of 16.02 km along 240˚ and

11.93 km along 220˚ from the city centre, and the lands in the vicinity of the National Highway (NH 32), which is situated between these sectors, experienced maximum urban development. The study also pinpointed the sprawl areas during the study period, revealing that the urban sprawl occurs along the highways, around designated special economic zones, and industrial corridors.
