Student Well-being in Times of COVID-19 in the Netherlands.
Authors: Kiltz Lisa , Trippenzee Miranda , Fleer Joke , Fokkens-Bruinsma Marjon , Jansen E.P.W.A.
Published: June 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected student well-being, because measures such as closing educational institutions and social distancing have forced universities to adapt their learning environment. Previous research has demonstrated that the learning environment influences student well-being by satisfying their basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The present study is therefore aimed to investigate, first, how the basic psychological needs relate to student well-being, second, how students perceive interaction within the academic system, and third, how they would like the ”new educational normal” to look. To this end, we implemented a cross-sectional survey, which includes both quantitative measures and qualitative open questions, and distributed it at a Dutch university (n = 653). To identify the predictive strength of need satisfaction and frustration, we calculated multiple regressions. Need satisfaction and frustration relate to the well-being measures. However, relatedness correlates least with student well-being. Moreover, students report restricted interactions with their teachers and fellow students, leading to a feeling of being disconnected and struggles to establish or maintain relationships. In contrast with the quantitative findings, students highlight relatedness as an essential, currently lacking part of their experience. They suggest a potential hybrid learning environment with a focus on social cohesion.This study emphasises the relevance of interpersonal connections within higher education and provides practical ideas for a post-pandemic academic structures. These insights can support universities’ systemic investments in student well-being and creating a healthier learning environment for the future.

Authors: HIJRIANI
Published: June 2022

Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah atau biasa disebut UMKM yaitu program ekonomi produktif yang berdiri sendiri, yang dilakukan oleh perorangan tanpa menganak pada badan perusahaan lain. Secara umum UMKM memiliki ciri manajemen yang berdiri sendiri, memiliki modal sendiri, daerah pemasarannya lokal, asset perusahaannya kecil, dan jumlah pekerja yang dimiliki terbatas. Usaha Mikro adalah usaha produktif milik orang perorangan dan/atau badan usaha perorangan yang memenuhi kriteria usaha mikro sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang memiliki kriteria asset: Maksimal Rp 50 Juta, kriteria omset : Maksimal Rp 300 juta rupiah.Berdasarkan Undang-Undang nomor 20 Tahun 2008 usaha mikro adalah usaha produktif milik orang perorangan ataupun badan usaha perorangan dengan jumlah asset maksimal 0 sampai Rp 50 juta dan omzet total 0 sampai 300 juta. Usaha kecil adalah usaha ekonomi produktif yang berdiri sendiri dilakukan oleh orang perorangan ataupun badan usaha akan tetapi bukan merupakan anak perusahaan dengan jumlah asset lebih dari Rp 50 juta sampai Rp 500 juta dan omzet total Rp 300 juta sampai Rp 2,5 milyar. Usaha menengah adalah usaha ekonomi produktif yang berdiri sendiri dilakukan oleh cabang orang perseorangan atau badan usaha yang bukan merupakan anak perusahaan dengan jumlah kekayaan bersih lebih dari Rp 500 juta sampai Rp 10 milyar dan omzet total Rp 2,5 milyar sampai Rp 50 milyar.Dalam menumbuhkan pertumbuhan ekonomi masyarakat UMKM memiliki kontribusi yang besar khususnya di negara-negara berkembang. Dampak yang berpengaruh positif dapat menggerakkan roda perekonomian bangsa dan mengurangi jumlah pengangguran.
Algorithms and Professionals May Disagree On Companies’ Reputations
Authors: Lees Jeffrey Martin
Published: June 2022

This work examines (dis)agreement between an algorithm and experienced professionals in their determinations of prominent companies’ reputations. Across repeated trials, a sample of professionals in the fields of reputation management, public relations, and CSR/ESG investing were asked to rate 25 companies across industries on eight dimensions of reputation (e.g., trust, social responsibility, exchange of benefits), yielding a total of 2,986 discrete reputational judgments. These ratings were on the same scale as an algorithm developed by a tech startup which uses real-time social media data to quantify the public reputation of companies, allowing for a direct examination of agreement between professionals and the algorithm. I found that professionals and the algorithm significantly disagreed on the reputation of the companies. When examined in tandem, the algorithm’s reputation ratings positively predicted market performance, while professionals’ reputation judgments negatively predicted market performance. These results contribute a detailed account of human-algorithm disagreement and the manner in which professionals’ subject reputational judgments may be at odds with algorithmic tools designed to quantify reputational information.

Published: June 2022

Indonesia pada 9 Desember 2020 akan melaksanakan Pemilihan Kepala Daerah dan Wakil Kepala Daerah (Pilkada). Berbeda dengan Pemilu Serentak yang mengalami kenaikan angka partisipasi, Pilkada Serentak 2020 dibayangi oleh rendahnya minat masyarakat untuk datang ke TPS karena Pilkada dilaksanakan ditengahdi tengah Pandemi Covid-19. Kendati demikian, KPU tetap optimis jika partisipasi pada Pilkada nanti tetap tinggi sehingga KPU berani memasang target angka partisipasi sebesar 77,5%. Untuk mewujudkan optimisme tersebut diperlukan sebuah strategi untuk mendongkrak minat pemilih. Strategi tersebut antara lain pertama, menyusun strategi komunikasi dan teknis guna mendorong minat serta memberi kemudahan pelayanan pemberian suara. Kedua, penyelenggara dapat memaksimalkan sosialisasi secara daring dengan platform berbagai bentuk media sosial. Ketiga, penyelenggara memberikan insentif kepada pemilih dengan pemberian masker saat pemilih datang ke TPS sebagai bentuk kepedulian penyelenggara atas jaminan kesehatan setiap pemilih.

STRATEGI PENGEMBANGAN KOPERASI DAN UMKM
Authors: Alimin Fahira
Published: June 2022

Sebagian besar UMKM tidak terlibat secara langsung pada kegiatan bisnis global (ekspor dan impor). Akan tetapi, tidak sedikit dari kegiatan bisnis global justru diperankan oleh bisnis berskala UMKM. Kegiatan ekspor yang awalnya dikumpulkan atau bersumber dari usaha UMKM memberi andil yang cukup signifikan terhadap usaha hilir untuk usaha berskala besar, sebut saja di sektor perikanan dan kelautan, industry kerajinan, dan lain sebagainya.Analisis strategi generik digunakan dengan mengombinasikan keunggulan kompetitif dan competitive scope (lingkungan persaingan). Contohnya, produk yang tidak memerlukan teknologi tinggi dapat menerapkan strategi biaya rendah dalam pengelolaannya. Akan tetapi, untuk produk kerajinan tangan, lebih baik diarahkan pada focused differentiation karena produk-produk tersebut memiliki keunikan tersendiri dan lebih berpeluang untuk memperoleh harga yang lebih tinggi.
Resume Instrumen dan Komponen Kebijakan Fiskal Islami
Authors: Ifhadiyanti Nurul
Published: June 2022

Kebijakan fiskal berarti kebijakan untuk mengatur pendapatan dan pengeluaran negara dalam rangka menjaga stabilitas dan mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi. Instrument kebijakan fiskal adalah penerimaan dan pengeluaran pemerintah. Suatu pemerintahan setiap tahun menyusun suatu Rencana Anggaran Pendapatan Belanja negara (RAPBN) yang diajukan kepada DPR untuk disahkan menjadi APBN. Dimana pertumbuhan ekonomi sangat berpengaruh pada kebijakan fiskal yang terwujud pada APBN. Lahirnya kebijakan fiskal ini karena adanya kesadaran terhadap pengaruh penerimaan dan pengeluaran pemerintah. Kebijakan fiskal ini merupakan salah satu pembahasan dalam kajian ekonomi Islam. Pada ekonomi Islam, kebijakan fiskal telah dikenal sejak masa Rasulullah dan para shahabat. konsep ekonomi Islam yang telah ada sejak pemerintahan Islam Madinah merupakan konsep siap pakai yang tinggal dijadikan alternatif pengganti sistem fiskal modern. Penerimaan begitu saja dari konsep klasik fiskal Islam tanpa mereformulasikan dalam konteks kontemporer hanya akan memutar waktu ke zaman primitif. Bila hanya menerima zakat sebagai tulang punggung fiskal Islam, lalu menolak pajak, maka hal itu hanya akan berujung pada konsep fiskal Islam yang utopis.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Ontologies, i.e. formal ways to represent knowledge into a particular domain, have the potential to transform the field of health promotion and digital interventions However, few researchers in the domain of physical activity (PA) are familiar with ontologies, and the field can be difficult to navigate due to differences in quality. This systematic review aims to (1) identify ontologies in the domain of PA, (2) assess their content and (3) assess their quality.Methods: Databases were searched for ontologies on PA. Ontologies were included if they described PA or sedentary behavior, and were available in English. We coded whether ontologies covered the user profile, activity or context domain. For the assessment of quality, we used 12 criteria informed by the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology (OBO) Foundry principles of good ontology practice. Results: Twenty-eight ontologies met the inclusion criteria. All ontologies covered the PA domain, and 19 included information on the user profile. Context domains were covered by 17 ontologies (physical context, n= 12; temporal context, n=14; social context: n=5). Ontologies met an average of 4.3 out of 12 quality criteria. No ontology met all quality criteria.Discussion: This review did not identify a single comprehensive ontology of PA that allowed for reuse. Nonetheless, there were several ontologies that may serve as a good starting point for the promotion of PA. We provide several recommendations about the identification, evaluation and adaptation of ontologies for their further development and use.
Articulatory effects of frequency modulated by inflectional meanings
Authors: Saito Motoki , Tomaschek Fabian , Baayen R. H.
Published: June 2022

In this paper, we discuss three studies. In the first study, we replicated the phonetic enhancement effect of frequency using ultrasound. While this study supported the hypothesis of paradigmatic signal enhancement by higher frequency (or probability), it was also contradictory to the studies that found phonetic reduction effects of frequency. To reconcile this contradiction, in the second study, we investigated the effect of frequency in interaction with morphological status. The result showed that higher frequency was associated with phonetically reduced realizations for non-inflected words, while phonetic enhancement was observed for inflected words. Subsequently, in the third study, we explained the enhancement effect of frequency in terms of semantic support from words' meanings to their forms.
Examining the Concurrent and Predictive Validity of Single Items in Ecological Momentary Assessments
Authors: Song Jiyoung , Howe Esther , Oltmanns Joshua R. , Fisher Aaron Jason
Published: June 2022

While single items can save time and burden in psychology research, concerns about their reliability have made the use of multiple-item measures the default standard practice. While single items cannot demonstrate internal reliability, their criterion validity can be compared to multiple-item measures. Using ecological momentary assessment data, we evaluated repeated measures correlations and constructed multilevel cross-lagged models to assess concurrent and predictive validity of single- and multiple-item measures. Correlations between the single- and multiple-items measures ranged from .24 to .61. In 27 out of 29 single-item predictor models, single items demonstrated significant predictive validity, and in one out of eight sets of comparisons, a single-item predictor exhibited a larger effect size than its multiple-item counterpart. While multiple-item measures generally performed better than single items, the added benefit of multiple items was modest in most cases. The present data provide support for the use of single-item measures in intensive longitudinal designs.
Weighted Histogram for a Meta-Analysis (WHaM): Descriptive graphics using R Shiny
Authors: Wu Felix , Ercan Seydahmet , Ock Jisoo , Oswald Frederick Louis
Published: June 2022

For over three decades in psychology, meta-analysis has been a popular methodological tool for summarizing effect sizes within a given research domain. Statistical meta-analytic summaries typically reflect a mean and associated variance (heterogeneity) estimate, and visual summaries of constituent effect sizes typically use forest and funnel plots. Although these plots are useful, they do not reveal the shape of the distribution of effect sizes directly. To remedy this gap, we offer a weighted histogram that is more interpretable and useful when depicting the distribution of effect sizes and their associated sampling error variance. In support of the weighted histogram, we reviewed a hundred of the most recent meta-analyses published in American Psychological Association (APA) journals and in Journal of Applied Psychology, many popular books in psychology on meta-analysis, and several software programs and packages for conducting meta-analysis—all of which suggest a strong need for a more succinct and effective way to visualize the distribution and accuracy of effects included in a meta-analysis (i.e., a weighted histogram). Importantly, we also offer a user-friendly interactive online app (developed using R Shiny) that allows meta-analytic researchers to easily create their own publication-ready weighted histograms.
Computational Models of Event Memory
Authors: Cox Gregory Edward , Shiffrin Rich
Published: June 2022

This chapter discusses key features of computational models of event memory, also called “episodic” memory. Models aim to capture the representations and processes that enable us to perform a variety of episodic memory tasks, including recognition and free, cued, and serial recall. We review different ways in which models distinguish between the content and context of events; how different models represent event memories, including networks and vectors; and the types of processes that operate on memory representations to accomplish retrieval goals, including matching and search. Finally, we discuss how modeling serves broader scientific goals and can help bridge levels of explanation between the cognitive processes involved in memory and their neural instantiation.
The Hard Problem of Consciousness —A Perspective From Holistic Philosophy
Authors: CHEN Ji-cheng , CHEN Lin-lin
Published: June 2022

Based on a material view and reductionism, science has achieved great success. These cognitive paradigms treat the external as an objective existence and ignore internal consciousness. However, this cognitive paradigm, which we take for granted, has also led to some dilemmas related to consciousness in biology and physics. Together, these phenomena reveal the interaction and inseparable side of matter and consciousness (or body and mind) rather than the absolute opposition. However, a material view that describes matter and consciousness in opposition cannot explain the underlying principle, which causes a gap in interpretation. For example, consciousness is believed to be the key to influencing wave function collapse (reality), but there is a lack of a scientific model to study how this happens. In this study, we reveal that the theory of scientific cognition exhibits a paradigm shift in terms of perception. This tendency implies that reconciling the relationship between matter and consciousness requires an abstract theoretical model that is not based on physical forms. We propose that the holistic cognitive paradigm offers a potential solution to reconcile the dilemmas and can be scientifically proven. In contrast to the material view, the holistic cognitive paradigm is based on the objective contradictory nature of perception rather than the external physical characteristics. This cognitive paradigm relies on perception and experience (not observation) and summarizes all existence into two abstract contradictory perceptual states (Yin-Yang). Matter and consciousness can be seen as two different statesof perception, unified in perception rather than in opposition. This abstract perspective offers a distinction from the material view, which is also the key to falsification, and the occurrence of an event is inseparable from the irrational state of the observer’s conscious perception. Alternatively, from the material view, the event is random and has nothing to do with perception. We hope that this study can provide some new enlightenment for the scientific coordination of the opposing relationship between matter and consciousness.

Half-metallic magnetism in triazines g-C4N3and g-C3N4tailored with H, Li, and 2p elements
Authors:   School of Engineering Physics, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Pham Nam Phong
Published: June 2022

The graphitic carbon nitride g-C4N3, since its experimental realisation, and particularly being proven a free - standing monolayer with half - metallic ferromagnetism, has drawn growing research interest in spintronics. Here, the author presents a study using density functional calculations, on the electronic structure and magnetic ordering of g-C4N3 and its sister monolayer triazine g-C3N4, tailored with H, Li, and 2p elements. Half-metallic ferromagnetism of pristine g-C4N3 is first elucidated with an emphasis on its localised spin magnetic moments due to pyridinic N-sp2 electrons. The author then proposes various scenarios tailoring the structure of these two materials, in order to induce itinerant magnetism therein, towards greater potential applications in spintronics. The key to that problem lies in the chemistry of H, Li, and other 2p atoms at the graphitic N or C and vacant sites of our crystal lattices. Interestingly, in certain elaborate scenarios involving pairs of 2p adatoms at the latter, the author have obtained new half-metallic material structures where both localised and itinerant magnetism mechanisms coexisted. This result is explained in a clear physicochemical picture where the effect of spin - charge transfer shapes the electronic structures of these new monolayers.

Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study was to choose the appropriate temperature for postharvest storage of Hung Yen longan fruits. The fruits were firstly harvested, cleaned, and dried. After that longans were packaged in a Low density polyethylene bag with holes and stored under cold temperatures of 5.0, 7.5, 10 and 12.5oC (±0.5oC). A survey was conducted for quality indicators such as weight loss, total soluble solids, total organic acids, total polyphenol, polyphenoloxydase, and peroxidase activity. The results showed that, at 10oC, Hung Yen longans can be preserved for 20 days and still maintain their good quality. Specifically, the natural weight loss was 10.64%; the rate of fruit drop and rot was 1.57 and 1.48%, respectively. Total soluble solids, organic acids, and polyphenol content were 17.7oBx, 0.52%, and 126 μg GAE/ml, respectively.

Published: June 2022

Inhibition efficiencies (IE) process in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) which is influenced by independent factors, concentration and size of PVP, temperature, time of immersion, and perchloric acid concentration was investigated in this paper. The relationship between factors and their responses is established by the concept of response surface methodology (RSM) explicitly through regression statistical analysis and probabilistic analysis is used in this work. The concept is a combination of mathematical and statistical techniques allowing the modeling and problems analysis by experimental design. In this study, the results based on statistical analysis showed that the quadratic models for the inhibition efficiencies (IE) were significant at the value of probability P < 0.0001 and the coefficient of multiple regressions R2=0.9997, for further validation of the model, R2Adj=0.9993 indicated a good model. The observed experimental values were in good agreement with predicted ones and the model washighly significant with Q2= 0.9884. The optimal conditions of inhibition efficiencies (IE) obtained are 104.301% for a concentration of 3.55×10−3 mol/L, temperature of 20.15°C, immersion time of 2h, size of PVP 58000 g/mol, and acid concentration of 0.5 mol/L.
Differences in the attitudes and beliefs about science of students in the physics-mathematics and life sciences areas and their impact on teaching
Authors: Suárez A. , Baccino D. , Monteiro M. , Marti Arturo
Published: June 2022

For this study, we compared the attitudes and beliefs about science of physical science (physics and mathematics) and life science (biochemistry and biology) students at the beginning of their university degrees using the CLASS (Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey) tool. It is worth noting that both groups of students received similar physics courses during their high-school education. Through a detailed analysis of the different categories of the test, we examined the differences in performance in each of the areas that make up the questionnaire. Among other aspects, we found that a considerable percentage of life science students (higher than that of physical science students) adopted a novice type of behavior in problem solving. Finally, we discussed the possible causes of the differences found and their implications for teaching.
Hafele and Keating in a fictious gravitational field
Authors: Benedetto Elmo , Iovane G.
Published: June 2022

The so called twin paradox is described in every special relativity (SR) textbook. Obviously, an exact calculation requires the application of the general theory of relativity (GR) but, thanks to some simplifying hypotheses concerning the acceleration and deceleration phases, even in SR it is possible to find the correct solution and that is "the twin who goes on space travel is the one who, returning to Earth, finds the aged brother." In a curved spacetime, instead, we have the algebraic sum between a kinematic and a gravitational effect. What happens in the presence of a gravitational field is, for example, well described by Hafele and Keating's experiment and, in this case, it may happen that the traveling brother can grow older than his brother at rest. Continuing in this pedagogical tradition, we consider the Hafele and Keating experiment in a fictious gravitational field of a rotating frame. The equality of the results between curved spacetime of a real gravitational field and flat spacetime of a fictitious one, in our opinion, is interesting to emphasize even today the great genius of Einstein and that is "inertia is gravity in disguise".
Women’s perceptions of, and emotional responses to, sexual violence depicted in film or series
Authors: Maika Kierra Catherine , Weaver Angela D.
Published: June 2022

Sexual violence, particularly against women, is alarmingly common. Many survivors experience post-traumatic stress ( Cortina & Kubiak, 2006 ); thus, reminders of the trauma could cause flashbacks, dissociative symptoms, and intense fear ( American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ). Given that women consume media that regularly depicts sexual violence, which could cause distress, the current study examined women’s perceptions of, and emotional responses to, scenes of sexual violence. It was predicted that women would perceive scenes of sexual violence negatively and that would be particularly true for women with a sexual violence history, those who reported post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms related to sexual violence history, and those who use negative coping strategies in response to stressors. Participants were women ( n = 229) who completed an online survey. More than half (52%) of participants reported that they had experienced sexual violence. Participants generally reported negative perceptions of scenes of sexual violence, with a majority viewing them as too graphic, used for shock value/titillation, and unnecessary to the plot. Women with a history of sexual violence reported greater avoidance of media that might contain sexual violence and greater negative affect in response to scenes of sexual violence; however, women who exceeded the post-traumatic stress disorder screen cut-off did not report greater avoidance and negative affect than those who did not exceed the cut-off. Finally, those who reported a greater tendency to cope with stressors using problem avoidance reported more avoidance of, and negative affect in response to, scenes of sexual violence. Exploratory analyses, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

Published: June 2022

Coronary artery disease is the main cause of death worldwide. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a preferred treatment option for multi-vessel disease and left main disease patients. Physical training (recovery) enhances exercise tolerance, an activity of daily living, and quality of life in this patient. For this, the aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of acute high-intensity interval exercise on post-exercise blood pressure in CABG patients. In this study, all patients underwent open-heart surgery at least 1 month before involvement in the study. All Subjects were included after Medical rigorous screening. Participants carried out two experimental sessions of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and mild continuous exercise (MCE) with a minimum of 72 h intervals: This study employed a randomized, cross-over design, Brachial systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) were measured Immediately before (pre) and after (post) and approximately15 min(post-15) and 30 min (post-30) after each exercise bout. The Split-Plot Analysis of Variance with repeated measures (group × time) was used to analyze the data. Significant post-exercise increases in SBP, and HR were seen following each protocol (p<0.05). Following two bouts, SBP decreased at 15- and 30-min post-exercise in two groups but this decline was more in the HIIE group than MCE. Based on the findings of this study, both high-intensity intermittent and continuous exercise can improve heart function in CABG patients by diminishing BP.

Published: June 2022

Although patients accessing rehabilitation services had been reported to have better functional ability of the lower limbs, postural stability, and low cardiovascular disease risk factors, updated data from developing countries is however vital for clinical practices. Hence, the aim of this study was to present the association between lower extremity functional ability (LEFA), stability, and body composition profiles in rehabilitative lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS) patients considering age and gender. One hundred and twenty-four participants (45 females, 79 males), with a mean age of 56.45±11.13 years, volunteered for the study. Weight, height body fat percent (BFP), visceral fat, body mass index (BMI), resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate were measured while functional ability and stability tests were conducted on the participants. 53.4% were at least overweight; LEFA was below average, stability of both dominant and nondominant legs was very poor, blood pressure and heart rate were high. Women had high total body fat and visceral fat. Significant differences were observed in BMI (p=0.044) and BFP (p=0.035) based on age classification as well as BMI (p=0.000), BFP (p=0.000) and visceral fat (p=0.000) by gender. Overweight, high blood pressure, poor LEFA, and postural stability are crucial comorbidities of Ghanaian LDS patients in this study. Educationally and pragmatically comprehensive healthy lifestyle interventions of regular exercise regimes, adequate and quality nutrition, and occupational stress reduction would play major complementary roles in chiropractic treatment.
Allegorical Language in the Holy Quran A Semiotic Interpretation of Surat Al-Hujurat
Authors: El-Hussari Ibrahim A.
Published: June 2022

Scholars, including both Muslim and non-Muslim philologists and anthropologists, tend to agree that the Muslim holy book, Al- Quran[1], is not an easy text to read, understand and interpret, much more so than any other holy text available, say The Torah or The Gospel. However, for an open-minded scholar, to interpret Al-Quran is to experience an either pleasant or unpleasant encounter with all that it holds. Hence the variety of textual analysis relative to the various levels of understanding of the original message embedded in the allegorical language shaping it. In this context, reading Al- Quran can be viewed as an exercise in semiotics. This paper presents a panoramic view of this holy Book, but it dwells, more particularly, on exploring the taxonomy of interpretation of the probable messages underlying chapter XLIX, Surat[2] “Al-Hujurat”[3]. Using a semiotic stance to touch upon some issues ingrained in the sign language of this specific text, this paper uncovers the composite fabric of the Muslim communal system which also sounds universal in application when it comes to the shaping of healthy communities as regards the issues of divinity, righteousness, faith, ethics, humanism, justice, and accountability.
The Coronavirus as Nature-Culture
Authors: Schnabel Annette , Ülpenich Bettina
Published: June 2022

We analyze how the coronavirus is fabricated at the interface between science and the public in order to be addressable by political strategies. By means of a content analysis of Christian Drosten’s podcasts, we follow (1) how SARS-CoV-2 is constructed in order to be understood by non-scientists, (2) how the specialist becomes a public expert, and (3) how this co-fabrication takes place. This provides insight into the “fabrication” of meaning and of how uncertainty is transformed into knowledge during times of major risk through focusing on the perception of the virus itself. Out of a perspective of speech act theory-informed assemblage thinking, the analysis emphasizes the role of the known-unknown and of the temporality of developments in formatting both virus and expert.
Scale Matters

Interdisciplinary science and environmental management involve bringing together data and expertise at multiple spatial scales. The most challenging part of merging scales is aligning the scale of inquiry with the research application. Through the Louisiana case study relating wetland loss and commercial fishing, we examine how the nature and strength of the relationship changes depending on the scale of investigation. Resulting management implications also vary because of tradeoffs in choosing the scale of inquiry. State-level fisheries managers may miss effects of wetland loss in fishing communities because they are looking at aggregate data. Scientific information must directly address the constituent scale, where managers can enact policy. The case study demonstrates why scalar considerations should be an explicit part of the planning process for both science and management.
Incidence, follow-up, and postnatal clinical progress of children with central nervous system anomalies on fetal MRI
Authors: Hernandez Nicole E. , Lu Victor M. , Altman Nolan , Ragheb John , Niazi Toba N. , Wang Shelly
Published: June 2022

OBJECTIVE

MRI is increasingly employed to assess intrauterine fetal anomalies. Central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are common structural conditions that warrant evaluation with fetal MRI and subsequent prenatal consultation with a pediatric neurosurgeon. As the use of fetal MRI increases, there is greater impetus to understand the most common CNS structural anomalies diagnosed in utero, as well as their natural histories.

METHODS

The authors performed a single-center retrospective review of fetal MRI evaluations performed between January 2012 and December 2020. Children who underwent both prenatal and postnatal neurosurgical evaluations of CNS anomalies were included. Specific CNS anomalies on fetal MRI, associated extra-CNS findings, and suspicion for genetic abnormality or syndromes were noted. Postnatal clinical status and interventions were assessed.

RESULTS

Between January 2012 and December 2020, a total of 469 fetal MRI evaluations were performed; of these, 114 maternal-fetal pairs had CNS anomalies that warranted prenatal consultation and postnatal pediatric neurosurgical follow-up. This cohort included 67 male infants (59%), with a mean ± SD follow-up of 29.8 ± 25.0 months after birth. Fetal MRI was performed at 27.3 ± 5.8 weeks of gestational age. The most frequently reported CNS abnormalities were ventriculomegaly (57%), agenesis or thinning of the corpus callosum (33%), Dandy-Walker complex (DWC) (21%), neuronal migration disorders (18%), and abnormalities of the septum pellucidum (17%). Twenty-one children (18%) required neurosurgical intervention at a mean age of 2.4 ± 3.7 months. The most common surgical conditions included myelomeningocele, moderate to severe ventriculomegaly, encephalocele, and arachnoid cyst. Corpus callosum agenesis or thinning was associated with developmental delay (p = 0.02) and systemic anomalies (p = 0.05). The majority of prenatal patients referred for DWC had Dandy-Walker variants that did not require surgical intervention.

CONCLUSIONS

The most common conditions for prenatal neurosurgical assessment were ventriculomegaly, corpus callosum anomaly, and DWC, whereas the most common surgical conditions were myelomeningocele, hydrocephalus, and arachnoid cyst. Only 18% of prenatal neurosurgical consultations resulted in surgical intervention during infancy. The majority of referrals for prenatal mild ventriculomegaly and DWC were not associated with developmental or surgical sequelae. Patients with corpus callosum abnormalities should be concurrently referred to a neurologist for developmental assessments.

OBJECTIVE

Wild-type transthyretin amyloid (ATTRwt) is deposited in the ligamentum flavum (LF) of a subset of patients with spinal stenosis who undergo decompressive surgery, although its role in the pathophysiology of spinal stenosis is unknown. It has been theorized that degeneration of intervertebral discs causes increased mechanical stress and inflammatory/degenerative cascades and ultimately leads to LF fibrosis. If ATTRwt deposits contribute to LF thickening and spinal stenosis through a different pathway, then patients with ATTRwt may have less severe disc degeneration than those without it. In this study, the authors compared the severity of disc degeneration between patients with lumbar stenosis with and without amyloid in their LF to test whether ATTRwt is a unique contributor to LF thickening and spinal stenosis.

METHODS

Of 324 consecutive patients between 2018 and 2019 who underwent decompression surgery for spinal stenosis and had LF samples sent for pathological analysis, 31 harboring ATTRwt were compared with 88 controls. Patient medical records were retrospectively reviewed for demographic and surgical information. Disc degeneration was assessed on preoperative T2-weighted MR images with the modified Pfirrmann grading system at every lumbar disc level.

RESULTS

Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups, except for a statistically significant increase in age in the ATTRwt group. The crude unadjusted comparisons between the groups trended toward a less severe disc degeneration in the ATTRwt group, although this difference was not statistically significant. A multivariable linear mixed-effects model was created to adjust for the effects of age and to isolate the influence of ATTRwt, the presence of an operation at the level, and the specific disc level (between L1 and S1). This model revealed that ATTRwt, the presence of an operation, and the specific level each had significant effects on modified Pfirrmann scores.

CONCLUSIONS

Less severe disc degeneration was noted in patients with degenerative spinal stenosis harboring ATTRwt compared with those without amyloid. This finding suggests that ATTRwt deposition may play a separate role in LF thickening from that played by disc degeneration. Future studies should aim to elucidate this potentially novel pathophysiological pathway, which may uncover an exciting potential for the development of amyloid-targeted therapies that may help slow the development of spinal stenosis.
Взаємозв'язок креативності та успішності навчання у юнацькому віці
Authors: Крамаренко Ольга Сергіївна
Published: June 2022

В статті наведено результати емпіричного дослідження взаємозв’язку креативності та успішності навчання студентів у вищому навчальному закладі, яке дозволило прослідкувати залежність рівня успішності навчання студентів від характеру їх креативності. Встановлено, що зв'язок двох феноменів (творчого та інтелектуального) є прямим, проте слабким: рівень розвитку креативності особистості юнацького віку має опосередкований вплив на рівень його навчальних досягнень.

Achievements And Challenges In Higher Education System Oа Israeli: Assessments Of Experts
Authors: Korochkina Victoria
Published: June 2022

In 2008 a civil, apolitical movement was formed to save the Israeli educational system. After a decade expert and analytical centers keep signaling serious challengesand contradictions directly related to schisms in the society. Worldwide COVID-19 crisis has only made the situation worse. During the pandemic, the number of first-year students in universities and colleges increased sharply, while the country's job market already had had a high percentage of “over-educated” labor. University and college graduates have problems on a job search; there is a drift from Israel of educated and qualified personnel abroad, mainly to the US. Specialists note the low quality of education, a disproportion in the ratio of the number of students and teaching staff, the problem of unequal access to higher education for students from different social stratums and ethnic groups. In Israel, case analysis in the educational system is carried out by expert and analytical centers, which interact on these issues with corresponding governmental authorities issuing their own annual reports. Sometimes they highlight different points in their assessments. But the fact is that a number of essential problems have not yet been resolved. The Israeli leadership understands that higher education needs to be reformed and adapted to the needs of a country that is located in extremely sensitive region and seeks to be ranked high in a competitive environment in the international arena.
