The roots of polarisation in the individual reward system
Authors: Lefebvre Germain , Deroy Ophelia , Bahrami Bahador
Published: May 2023

Polarization in modern societies has been widely studied in the last decades. Concerns about its potential threat to democracy only expanded in the internet era where (mis)information is ubiquitous, its transmission faster than ever, and the freedom and means of opinion expressions are limitless. In the present study, we show that polarization at the group level in humans is inevitable and is a byproduct of biased processing of new information in favour of choice-confirmatory evidence. Through agent-based simulations, we show that confirmation bias in individual learning is sufficient for creating polarization at group level independently of any additional assumptions about the opinions themselves, a priori beliefs about them, information transmission mechanisms, nor the structure of social relationship between individuals. This generative process, which is compatible with polarisation mechanisms described elsewhere, constitutes an entrenched, primeval biological tendency that helps explain the extraordinary resilience of polarisation against mitigating efforts such as dramatic informational change in the environment.
Investigating relationships between trait visual imagery and phenomenological control: the role of context effects
Authors: Cabbai Giulia , Dance Carla , Dienes Zoltan , Simner Julia , Forster Sophie , Lush Peter
Published: May 2023

Phenomenological control is the ability to alter experience according to goals, measured by response to imaginative suggestion. The capacity to create vivid mental imagery has been thought to contribute to generation of experiences following suggestions during hypnosis, but evidence is mixed. Moreover, no study has yet investigated this link outside of hypnosis. Across two studies (n = 639 and n = 66), we tested the relationship between imagery vividness and both non-hypnotic and hypnotic imaginative suggestion scales. Our samples included, for the first time, people lacking voluntary imagery (aphantasics). We also assessed this relationship following commonly used approaches to studying aphantasia (direct recruitment of self-reported aphantasics), versus those designed to minimize demand characteristics effects. We observed a weak positive relationship between imagery vividness and phenomenological control, with aphantasics being slightly lower in this trait than non-aphantasics. However, this effect was exaggerated among self-reported aphantasics, who scored lower on phenomenological control than samples experiencing imagery as well as aphantasics assessed via single-blind procedure. Our results have been certified as computationally reproducible by an independent statistician.We conclude that, while imagery may contribute to responding to imaginative suggestions, it is crucial to follow single-blind recruitment to reduce the effect of demand characteristics.

Published: May 2023

Background: While the effects of mask wearing/facial occlusion are known to negatively impact facial expression recognition, little is known about the effects of sex and mental wellness on facial expression recognition, as well as the influence of sex on misattributions errors (i.e., confusions between emotions). In this large study, we aimed to address the relation between facial expression recognition and loneliness, perceived stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms in male and female adults.Methods: We assessed the influence of mask-wearing on facial expression recognition (i.e., accuracy and reaction time) via an online study in N=469 adult males and females across Canada. Results: Expectedly, recognition was impaired under masked vs. unmasked conditions (i.e., lower accuracy, longer response times [RT], more misattribution errors). Females vs. males were faster and more accurate, with less misattribution errors. A novel finding was that higher perceived stress predicted lower accuracy to masked fearful faces. Perceived stress influenced the relation between sex and RT to masked happy faces; males with high stress scores were slower to recognize masked happy faces, the opposite was true for females. Finally, this study was among the first to show that higher loneliness predicted longer RT to unmasked faces. Impact: Our results show that facial expression recognition is impaired by mask-wearing, and that sex and mental health features are important predictors of performance. Such insight could be detrimental in certain sectors of the population (e.g., health care or education), and inform policies being adopted in future pandemics.
Exploring resilience to trauma through unsupervised clustering approach and network analysis
Authors: Sirui Wang , ZhangXinyi  , Liu Wei
Published: May 2023

Background: Experience of traumatic life events is likely to increase negative mood symptoms and trigger the onset of affective disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Early identification of high-risk individuals who are likely to suffer from mental disorders could facilitate effective psychological intervention. However, individuals differ with respect to resilience to trauma which is difficult to be quantified by certain questionnaires or biological measures. The present study stratified trauma-exposed individuals into Resilient and Sensitive subgroups using the data-driven clustering approach and explored resilience-related trauma-symptom network patterns. Method: A multi-national, cross-sectional cohort study (eight countries; total participants N=1740) with demographic variables and psychological measures of trauma, affective symptoms, and measures for religiosity were recruited between December 2015 and January 2016, and the data were analyzed between January 2022 and September 2022. We applied the hierarchical clustering approach to this cohort study and established group-specific psychological networks between 29 traumatic events and 21 negative mood symptoms and, subsequently, tested whether the network structures were significantly different across subgroups. Lastly, we evaluated whether other psychological (i.e., religiosity and death anxiety) and demographic variables (i.e., sex, age, income, and country) could determine resilience to trauma.Results: We established a stratification model that separated individuals who experienced trauma into three subgroups (i.e., Low Trauma (N = 323), Resilient (N = 677), and Sensitive (N = 740) based on inter-relationships between trauma and affective symptoms. We found that the network structure of the Resilient group was comparable to the Low Trauma group, while the Sensitive group showed a unique global connectivity pattern (i.e., low global efficiency and high modularity). A key negative mood symptom (i.e., worthlessness) and several traumatic events (i.e., destruction of someone’s home, military service, or being shot or assaulted) were identified for targeted intervention. Conclusions: Our results suggested that limited direct associations between trauma and negative mood symptoms are the network signature of low resilience to trauma. We have elaborated on the implications of using the clustering method and psychological network analyses to highlight the complex interplay between trauma and negative mood symptoms and identify key symptoms and traumatic events for early intervention.
Psychoeducation Tensor Framework as a Cognitive Architecture for the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) Framework
Authors: Sheppard Joseph Zalman
Published: May 2023

A psychoeducation tensor (PET) framework for global cognition was developed to serve as the core cognitive architecture for the National Institute of Mental Health’s (NIMH) Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) nosology framework. The PET includes sixteen functional cognitive elementary modules (EM) that are arranged in 4x4 tensor formation. The purpose of this article is to introduce the foundational cognitive processes that describe the PET framework in neuroscientific terms. The PET framework was further designed as a clinical psychoeducational tool for reducing psychological distress and mental perplexity. For example, the PET is optimized for learning within the 4-chunk constraints of working memory and may be optimally aligned to function as a science-based prosthetic internal working model to assist in reinforcing secure social attachments. Clinical conditions associated with the DSM-5 TR are described using non-deficit language to minimize use of stigmatizing language and constructs. The PET framework is contextualized in a broader physics framework with an analogue quantum description of cognition. The PET is a Minimalist program inspired by Chomsky’s (1992) linguistic program and Boyle et al.’s (2018) Minimalist model of physics. The PET framework expands from Smallwood & Schooler’s (2014) four-quadrant model (2x2) of mind wandering assimilating numerous theoretical models based on cognitive and clinical psychology.

Understanding the neurobiological mechanisms involved in psychopathology has been hindered by the limitations of categorical nosologies. The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) is an alternative dimensional system for characterizing psychopathology, derived from quantitative studies of covariation among diagnoses and symptoms. HiTOP provides more promising targets for clinical neuroscience than traditional psychiatric diagnoses and can facilitate cumulative integration of existing research. We systematically reviewed 164 human neuroimaging studies with sample sizes of 194 or greater that have investigated dimensions of psychopathology classified within HiTOP. Replicated results were identified for constructs at five different levels of the hierarchy, including the overarching p-factor, the externalizing superspectrum, the thought disorder and internalizing spectra, the distress subfactor, and the depression symptom dimension. Our review highlights the potential of dimensional clinical neuroscience research and the usefulness of HiTOP, while also suggesting limitations of existing work in this relatively young field. We discuss how HiTOP can be integrated synergistically with neuroscience-oriented, transdiagnostic frameworks developed by the National Institutes of Health, including the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC), Addictions Neuroclinical Assessment (ANA), and NIDA Phenotyping Assessment Battery (NIDA PhAB), and how researchers can use HiTOP to accelerate clinical neuroscience research in humans and other species.
eyeScrollR: A software method for reproducible mapping of eye tracking data from scrollable web pages
Authors: Larigaldie Nathanael , Dreneva Anna , Orquin Jacob Lund
Published: May 2023

The Internet has become an important part of our lives and an increasing number of researchers use eye-tracking technology to examine attention and behavior in online environments. Researchers, however, face a significant challenge in mapping eye-tracking data to scroll web pages. We describe the R package eyeScrollR for mapping eye-tracking data to scroll content such as web pages. The package re-maps eye-tracking gaze coordinates to web page coordinates with a deterministic algorithm based on mouse scroll data. The package includes options for handling common situations, such as sticky menus or ads that remain visible when the user scrolls. We test the validity of the package by triangulating it with manual coding and commercial software (iMotions). We find the highest agreement between the eyeScrollR package and manual coding. Because it arbitrarily modifies two-thirds of the fixations, the iMotions software has the lowest agreement with the other methods. Compared to current methods, eyeScrollR provides a more reproducible and reliable approach for mapping eye-tracking data to scroll web pages. With its open code and free availability, we recommend eyeScrollR as an essential tool for eyetracking researchers, particularly those who adhere to open science principles. The eyeScrollR package offers a valuable contribution to the field of eye-tracking research, facilitating accurate and standardized analysis of eye-tracking data in web scrolling contexts.
ON FACIAL RECOGNITION, REGULATION, AND DATA NECROPOLITICS
Authors: PELE ANTONIO , Mulholland Caitlin
Published: May 2023

This paper argues for actual and legal regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition.These new technologies represent great opportunities to improve the welfare of societies. However,some of their uses can also enhance discrimination and, eventually, lead to violence. From acomparative approach (examining the European Union and Brazil), we address the current and futureaspects of facial regulation, AI, and personal data. This paper shows that regulation is relevant toprotect the rule of law, free markets, and individual freedoms. It also examines the looming risksunfolding from the unregulated uses of new technologies. Our concept of “Data Necropolitics”defines a predatory form of digital governance that exploits and discriminates against vulnerable populations

One of the unpredicted tragedies is the occurrence of forest and land fires. Hotspots detected by satellite imagery reveal a correlation between the vulnerability of different Indonesian districts and towns to forest and land fires. The purpose of this research is to determine how susceptible the Lamandau District of Central Kalimantan Province is to forest and land fires. A quantitative strategy based on geographical analysis is employed for this study. Parameters including the number and distribution of hotspots, land cover type, peatland depth, topography, and the position of HGUs may be used in a GIS (Geographic Information System)-based spatial analysis to map forest and land fire risk. At the time of the assessment, 95.06 percent of the district's territory was not at high risk of being destroyed by fire. Large plantations and smallholder plantations are the most common settings for these fires since they are where the land is being cleared for agricultural use. There are a number of correlations between hotspot density and factors such as peat depth, land cover type, and the presence of HGU sites.
 
Fenomena kebakaran yang terjadi pada hutan dan lahan menjadi salah satu bencana yang tidak direncanakan. Kebakaran hutan dan lahan yang terjadi pada beberapa kabupaten/kota di Indonesia sangat bervariasi tingkat kerawanannya dan sebanding dengan jumlah serta persebaran hotspot yang terekam oleh satelit penginderaan jauh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tingkat kerawanan kebakaran hutan dan lahan di Kabupaten Lamandau, Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan analisis spasial. Berdasarkan analisis spasial menggunakan GIS (Geography Information System), penelitian menunjukkan bahwa parameter-parameter seperti: jumlah dan persebaran hotspot, jenis tutupan lahan, keberadaan lahan gambut, topografi, dan lokasi HGU mampu memetakan kerawanan kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Mayoritas daerah penelitian memiliki tingkat kerawanan kebakaran rendah dengan persentase 95,06% dari total luas kabupaten pada saat penelitian. Penyebab kebakaran berasal dari aktivitas manusia pada saat pembukaan lahan untuk pertanian dan mayoritas berada di lokasi perkebunan besar dan perkebunan rakyat. Kepadatan hotspot memiliki berbagai hubungan dengan keberadaan lahan gambut, jenis tutupan lahan, dan keberadaan lokasi HGU.
Shruti and Swara
Authors: Rani Radha
Published: May 2023

The subtlest sounds are of great importance in the formation of each swara. It is necessary to have shruti for the echo or reverberation of the vowels. Shruti itself is not a pigment, but helps in making the tone pigment. Shruti is liquid, swaras are stable, while ascending in some ragas, some swaras are heard rising from their original place and descending in avaroh. It refers to the fluidity of the shruti of those swaras. This fluidity becomes evident in activities like gamak and vocal accompaniment, fluidity is clearly visible in musical instruments as compared to singing. In ragas like Bhimpalasi, Adana etc., during the ascent, the movement of the soft is towards the chord and in the descent, it is heard descending. When this Shruti becomes stable at one place, it becomes a voice. Pigmentation is not necessary independently in Shruti and therefore many Shruti are considered taboo or meaningless.

Abstract in Hindi Lanaguage:

प्रत्येक स्वर बनने में सूक्ष्मतम ध्वनियों का बड़ा महत्व है। स्वरों की गूंज या अनुरणन के लिए श्रुतियों का होना आवश्यक है। श्रुति स्वयं रंजक नहीं होती परंतु स्वर के रंजक बनाने में सहायक होती है। श्रुति तरल होती है स्वर स्थिर होते हैं कुछ रागों में आरोह करते समय कुछ स्वर अपने वास्तविक स्थान से कुछ चढ़े हुए सुनाई देते हैं और अवरोह में उतरे हुए सुनाई पड़ते हैं। इसका तात्पर्य उन स्वरों की श्रुतियों की तरलता से है। गमक एवं स्वर संगति जैसी क्रियाओं में यह तरलता स्पष्ट हो जाती है गायन की अपेक्षा वाद्यों में तरलता का स्पष्ट साक्षात्कार होता है। भीमपलासी, अड़ाना इत्यादि रागों में आरोह के समय कोमल की गति तार सा की ओर होती है और अवरोह में वही उतरा हुआ सुनाई देता है। यह ही श्रुतिआ जब किसी एक स्थान पर स्थिर हो जाती हैं तो स्वर बन जाती हैं। श्रुति में स्वतंत्र रूप से रंजकता आवश्यक नहीं और इसलिए अनेक श्रुतिया वर्ज्य या निरर्थक मानी जाती है।

Authors: Utkan Nese Gul , Eroğlu Gözde Büşra
Published: May 2023

Honey bees, Apis mellifera are highly beneficial insects that constitute both the livelihood of the producers and the food source of the consumers. However, there are some diseases that affect the yield of bees and cause the collapse of almost the entire colony. Most of these diseases are caused by microbial pathogens originating from viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Beekeeping is an important source of livelihood both in the center of Amasya and in almost all its districts. In this study, microbial pathogens that cause mass bee deaths and epidemics in Amasya province were determined using molecular methods. The results showed that the most common honey bee pathogens in Amasya are the Deformed wing virus, Chronic bee paralysis virus, and Aspergillus flavus fungus. Thus, the profile of bee diseases in Amasya province was determined for the first time with this study. In addition, this study guides other studies planned for the prevention of bee diseases and healthy beekeeping.

The use of probiotics as additives to improve animal performance has increased considerably. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of DBR SACCH Probiotic Concentrate on the productivity and quality of milk from dairy cows. The experiment was carried out on private property in the municipality of Regente Feijó/SP (Brazil). Eighteen lactating Holstein and Girolando cows weighing 480 kg on average were used. The property's production system is in confinement, with the use of rest paddocks with a feeding trough, drinking fountain and shade. The daily production of the animals was evaluated individually, divided into batches at the beginning, middle and end of lactation, depending on the collections carried out (7 collections) and 6 cows (repetitions), as well as the quality of the milk in the cooling tank for all the herd. These were evaluated in percentages, before and after using the Product. Relations between collections were not evaluated. For the batch at the beginning and middle of lactation, there was an increase in daily production with the use of the probiotic. For the batch at the end of lactation, the benefit of the product was maintaining production for longer. The use of the product was not significant for the variations of fat, protein, lactose and non-defatted extractive. Regarding the somatic cell count (SCC), it considerably decreased the SCC in the cooling tank. The use of DBR SACCH probiotic concentrate for bovines improved milk production values of SCC in the cooling tank.
