Integration of Sexual and Relational Mental Representations in Autobiographical Memories is Associated with Sexual Well-Being
Authors: Therriault Christine , Bernard-Desrosiers Léa , Philippe Frederick L.
Published: January 2022

Determinants of sexual well-being have often been identified as sexual and relational satisfaction, which both include a focus on partner relationship. Such a conceptualization excludes sexually active single individuals, while confusing sexual and relational satisfaction with sexual well-being as both determinant and outcome. In the present research, we propose an intrapersonal perspective focused on cognitive sexual and relational mental representations as determinants of sexual well-being. Based on behavioral systems theory, we suggest that a high level of integration of sexual and relational mental representations should be associated with sexual well-being indicators, whereas a weaker level of integration should correspond to a lower level of sexual well-being. We developed a novel codification scheme to measure the cognitive integration of sexual and relational mental representations in narratives of sexual autobiographical memories. We examined its associations with sexual well-being indicators (satisfaction, passion, and sociosexuality). In a sample of 142 students, results showed that integration of sexual and relational representations in memories was positively associated with sexual satisfaction and harmonious passion, and negatively with obsessive passion and sociosexual desire. Results suggest that an integrated cognitive organization of sexual and relational mental representations in autobiographical memories can reflect a greater sexual wellbeing. Clinical implications are discussed.
Recurrent, nonequilibrium systems and the Markov blanket assumption
Authors: Aguilera Miguel , Buckley Christopher
Published: January 2022

Markov blankets –statistical independences between system and environment– have become popular to describe the boundaries of living systems under Bayesian views of cognition. The intuition behind Markov blankets originates from considering acyclic, atemporal networks. In contrast, living systems display recurrent interactions that generate pervasive couplings between system and environment, making Markov blankets highly unusual and restricted to particular cases.

Decomposing the structure of human cerebral function in its constituent domains forms the backbone of diagnosis and treatment of psychological and neurocognitive disorders. Research continues to decipher the domains and hierarchical structure of cerebral function. So far, the findings strongly suggest two higher-order latent factors of general psychopathology (p factor) and general intelligence (g factor). Both general factors are functions of the same organ. They covary, share risk factors as well as biomarkers, and benefit from the same treatments. However, to our knowledge, a model that connects both components of cerebral function within a higher-order latent factor and describes its potential biological underpinning is lacking. Here, we address this gap. First, we suggest the general factor of cerebral function (c factor) as the shared variance of the measures of g and p in a bi-factor model. Second, we review evidence that mitochondrial bioenergetics (MB) is one core biological underpinning of c. Third, we describe how this c factor mito-bioenergetics (CMB) model may transform research and clinical practice by advancing knowledge of treatment effects, risk factors, biomarkers, and clinical outcomes.
What Human Factors Are Associated With The Adoption Of BYOD in an organization
Authors: coker taiwo
Published: January 2022

Abstract—Bring Your Own Device (BOYD) is one of the current trends adopted widely by organizations. The reason for its positive reception is due to the benefit it brings to the organization through cost-efficiency, productivity levels, performance, and morale among the employee teams. Despite the benefits that BOYD brings about to organizations, many organizations are still skeptical about the threats and vulnerabilities that come about due to the human element in mobile technology. Within this context, the present paper provides an investigative approach to the role of the impact of the human element in the BOYD scheme. The paper concludes that to promote the adoption of BYOD in the organization, and there must be a renewed focus on building the element of trust and ensuring that the users can derive the maximum utility from the devices.
Neural Correlates of Familiar and Unfamiliar Action in Infancy
Authors: Chung Haerin , Meyer Marlene , Debnath Ranjan , Fox Nathan , Woodward Amanda
Published: January 2022

Behavioral evidence shows that experience with an action shapes action perception. Neural mirroring has been suggested as a mechanism underlying this behavioral phenomenon. Suppression of EEG power in the mu frequency band, an index of motor activation, typically reflects neural mirroring. However, contradictory findings exist regarding the association between mu suppression and motor familiarity in infant EEG studies. In this study, we investigated the neural underpinnings reflecting the role of familiarity on action perception. We measured neural processing of familiar (grasp) and novel (tool-use) actions in 9-and-12-month-old infants. Specifically, we measured infants’ distinct motor/visual activity and explored functional connectivity associated with these processes. Mu suppression was stronger for grasping than tool-use, while significant mu and occipital alpha (indexing visual activity) suppression were evident for both actions. Interestingly, selective visual-motor functional connectivity was found during observation of familiar action, a pattern not observed for novel action. Thus, the neural correlates of perception of familiar actions may be best understood in terms of a functional neural network, rather than isolated regional activity.Our findings provide novel insights on analytic approaches for identifying motor-specific neural activity while also considering neural networks involved in observing motorically familiar versus actions.
Consent to Data Linkage for Different Data Domains – The Role of Question Order, Question Wording, and Incentives
Authors: Beuthner Christoph , Keusch Florian , Silber Henning , Weiß Bernd , Schröder Jette
Published: January 2022

As our modern world has become increasingly digitalized, various types of data from different data domains are available that can enrich survey data. To link survey data to other sources, consent from the survey respondents is required. This article compares consent to data linkage requests for seven data domains: administrative data, smartphone usage data, bank data, biomarkers, Facebook data, health insurance data, and sensor data. We experimentally explore three factors of interest to survey designers seeking to maximize consent rates: consent question order, consent question wording, and incentives. The results of the study using a German online sample (n = 3,374) show that survey respondents have a relatively high probability of consent to share smartphone usage data, Facebook data, and biomarkers, while they are least likely to share their bank data in a survey. Of the three experimental factors, only the consent question order affected consent rates significantly. Additionally, the study investigated the interactions between the three experimental manipulations and the seven data domains, of which only the interaction between the data domains and the consent question order showed a consistent significant effect.

Authors: Коцур Віталій
Published: January 2022

Стаття присвячена викликам української ідентичності в умовах російсько-української війни. Розкрито особливості російської кампанії спрямованої на етнополітичну дестабілізацію, поляризацію українського суспільства, формування проросійського руху тощо. Встановлено основні методи і засоби російського впливу в Україні на сучасному етапі. Висвітлено тенденції розвитку російської агресії в інформаційній, політичній, дипломатичній, військовій сферах і наслідки для української національної і громадянської ідентичності. З’ясовані ймовірні загрози національній безпеці в умовах російської агресії й ведення так званої «гібридної» війни, зокрема поява конфліктів на етнічному, релігійному, мовно-культурному ґрунті. Все це зумовлюється постійним тиском в інформаційній і політичній сферах Росії. Розглянуто реакцію сусідніх країн на російську агресію і встановлено взаємозв’язок між активізацією національних організацій і впливом зовнішнього чинника на політичні процеси в Україні. Особливу увагу акцентовано на стимулюванні діяльності окремих організацій з антиукраїнським характером в окремих регіонах України, зокрема русинські. Вагоме значення російської підривної діяльності мало етнічне питання. У дослідженні висвітлено основні пріоритети російської зовнішньої політики щодо росіян закордоном. Російський етносі в Україні займав чільне місце у поширенні ідей «русского мира». Чільне місце у цьому аспекті займало мовне питання. Російська пропаганда створювала негативний імідж новому освітньому і мовному закону, шукаючи підтримку серед інших країн. Водночас, реалізовуючи власну неоімперську політику через проросійських політиків, Кремль намагався посилити поляризацію суспільства за мовним чинником. Підривна діяльність російських спецслужб здійснювалася й через релігійні організації, а отже окреме місце в статті займало питання діяльності РПЦ та УПЦ МП. Детальний аналіз наявних наукових досліджень, джерел, документальних матеріалів дозволяє осмислити виклики російської «гібридної» війни для української ідентичності, а також спрогнозувати ймовірні сценарії їхнього розвитку. Це безумовно актуалізує дослідження у цьому напрямку.
Patient-Reported Outcome and Experience Measures Administered by Dietitians in the Outpatient Setting: Systematic Review
Authors: Lambert Kelly , Stanford Jordan
Published: January 2022

Understanding how patients perceive their health and the experience with the dietitian is fundamental to providing patient-centred care. The types of patient reported measures (PRMs) used by outpatient dietitians is unclear. Guidance about use of PRMs for dietitians is also lacking. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise evidence regarding the use of PRMs by dietitians in the outpatient setting and evaluate the methodological quality of studies evaluating the psychometric properties of PRMs. Eight databases were searched systematically for studies of dietitians working in the outpatient setting and administering a PRM. Forty-four studies were evaluated and described 58 different PRMs. These included direct nutrition related (n = 12 studies), clinical (n = 21 studies), and health-related quality of life PRMs (n = 24 studies); 1 study documented use of a patient-reported experience measure. A large range of PRMs are used by outpatient dietitians. Of the most common PRMs, the majority are administered in similar populations to the original validation study. Dietitians should use a combination of 3 PRMs: a generic health-related quality of life tool, an experience measure, and at least 1 clinical or direct nutrition-related measure. This will enable dietitians to fully capture the impact of their care on patients.

Introduction. Annually, the volume of accumulated polymers in landfills in Ukraine is growing by more than 1 million tons, but the volume of recycled polymer packaging over the past ten years has not exceeded 3%. The goal is to establish the degree of toxicological impact on biosphere objects of polymers extracted from solid waste, to assess the safety of using household polymer waste as a secondary raw material for further processing. The task is to establish the degree of biological and toxicological safety of polymer wastes extracted from solid waste. Methods and techniques: toxicological - determination of water toxicity on acute Daphnia magna according to DSTU 4173: 2003 (ISO 6341: 1996, MOD) and chronic according to DSTU 4166: 2003 (ISO 10706: 2000, MOD), and Paramecium caudatum ciliates, soil microflora reactions (saprotrophic soil bacteria CFU / g) according to MR 2609-82, the assessment of phytotoxic effects on higher plants was carried out by vegetation methods according to ISO 17402-2008, ISO 17126-2005a, ISO 22030: 2005b, ISO 11269 -1:2012a. Results. The research results show that aqueous extracts from waste polymers extracted from solid waste and their mixture do not have a pronounced toxic effect on aquatic organisms. There is no significant effect on soil bacteria. The study of the effect of polymer waste on seed germination did not reveal phytotoxic effects for any crop. A slight phytotoxic effect was observed during the study of PVC and PS waste. Wheat and mustard were the most sensitive. The level of phytotoxic effect was within acceptable limits and did not exceed 5.67%. Evaluation of phytotoxic effects on stem length showed the presence of effects from all processed products except PVC. The impact, characterized as weak, ranged from - 2.06% (PP) to - 13.27% (PS). The effect on root length was found for samples with PS waste (-7.23%), which was characterized as weak and PVC (-43.52%) - medium. Watercress and mustard were the most sensitive plants to the effects of polymer waste. Conclusions. The studied samples of polymer waste do not show hygienically significant toxic effects on water and soil test objects, even in concentrations of 1: 1, so the impact on the above test organisms polymer waste removed from solid waste is classified as hazard class 4. According to the assessment of phytotoxic effect, polymer waste removed from solid waste is classified as hazard class 4, except for PVC - hazard class 3.

Some online transportation service companies use paid features provided by Google to determine the shortest distance and route, thus costing a lot of money. In this study, to determine the shortest route on a journey, it is necessary to calculate using an algorithm method, namely the dijkstra algorithm which is an algorithm used to solve the problem of the shortest route or the shortest path from one point to another at a point. weighted graph, The distance between vertices is the weight value of each edge in the graph. A graph that has a weight must be positive (weight >= 0). Dijkstra's algorithm itself uses a greedy strategy in its operation, where in each step the chosen one with the smallest weight connects the selected node with other nodes that have not been selected. Keywords: dijkstra algorithm, online transportation service, shortest route,
The use of model gas in the study of the gas engine of a power plant
Authors: Лісовал Анатолій Анатолійович
Published: January 2022

Annotation – The analysis of scientific publications over the past ten years in the direction of creating gas ICEs in Ukraine, operating on natural gas, biogas or similar low-calorie fuels. The objectives of the work summarize the results of studies on the use of model gas in a gas internal combustion engine operating on a power plant drive. Developed recommendations on biogas additives to natural gas depending on the power plant load, and to develop a fuel control algorithm. The article provides recommendations on setting up the power system and automatic regulation of a gas engine running on a mixture of natural gas (methane) and biogas. To solve the tasks, a gas-electric installation with a rated power of 30 kW was tested. Initially, the installation was equipped with an 8-cylinder gasoline engine with spark ignition and an electric generator. The base ICE was converted to purely gas with a compression ratio of 8.5. In the physical modeling of biogas to natural gas additives in the model gas, the volume fraction of carbon dioxide increased to 30 % with a decrease in the load. By calculation, determined a similar ratio of compressed natural gas and biogas additives. For the calculation, it assumed that natural gas contains 90 ... 95 % methane, and biogas 60 % methane and 40 % carbon dioxide. The possibility of using biogas with 60 % methane as an additive to natural gas in piston ICEs with spark ignition has been confirmed. It was found that with a decrease in load, the biogas fraction increase and replace up to 85 % of natural gas. When working on biogas additives, the values of the concentrations of hydrocarbons and residual oxygen in the exhaust gases were determined to control the setting of the gas equipment of the internal combustion engine. Under operating conditions, three test modes selected for the power plant: idle, 50 % load, rated mode. The research results can serve as the basis for creating a control algorithm for the supply of biogas additives to natural gas, depending on load changes.

Exercise and Atrial Fibrillation: Some Good News and Some Bad News
Authors: Sepehri Shamloo Alireza , Arya Arash , Dagres Nikolas , Hindricks Gerhard
Published: January 2022

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered as the most common sustained arrhythmia in adults, whose incidence rate is on the rise due to the increase in the mean age of the global population. In recent years, many efforts have been made to identify effective factors in the incidence of AF to prevent them and thereby reduce the consequences of AF. Physical activity is one of the topics that attracted much attention in the last two decades. According to some findings, extreme and prolonged exercise itself can be considered as a risk factor for the onset of AF; however, other studies have shown that exercise can be regarded a protective factor against AF in the general population. The present study reviews the findings of studies on the relationship between AF and exercise and discusses possible mechanisms for this relationship. Additionally, we present some recommendations for researchers and physicians about exercise management in association with AF prevention. [GMJ.2018;7:e1401]
Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of a Highly Viscous 33-mg/mL Hyaluronic Acid Volumizing Filler in the Treatment of Facial Wrinkles: An Open-Labeled, Clinical Trials
Authors: Razavian Elnaz , Tehrani Setareh
Published: January 2022

Background: The 33-mg/mL hyaluronic acid (HA) formulation is a highly concentrated, cross-linked, cohesive, smooth, and completely reversible volumizing filler approved by Conformité Européene. For the first time, we aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the 33-mg/mL HA filler for soft tissue augmentation in the treatment of facial wrinkles. Materials and Methods: After optimal wrinkle correction was achieved in the patients undergoing treatment by injecting the 33-mg/mL HA filler at the injection site plus one touch-up at a 2-week interval, the safety and efficacy of the filler were assessed on the 5-point Facial Volume Loss Scale through the 1-year study period. Patients were evaluated daily for 14 days and after 6 and 12 months post-treatment. Results: A total of 86 subjects were treated. The mean wrinkle scores of the patients were 3.95+0.79 (range of 3-5) before treatment, 2.3+0.94 (range 1-5) six months after treatment, and 2.93+1.29 (range of 1-5) one year after treatment. Clinically significant mean wrinkle correction (P=0.001) was still evident at>12 months of treatment through 33-mg/mL HA formulation. A clinically significant correction at>12 months after treatment was maintained by 79% of patients. Nodule formation and swelling were more frequent when the 33-mg/mL HA filler was used compared with the use of less concentrated HA fillers. One patient developed angioedema-like swelling and induration last few months. Conclusion: The 33-mg/mL HA filler can provide long-term correction lasting for one year or more. Adverse effects, especially swelling and nodule formation were more common in this filler compared with less concentrated HA fillers. The side effects were correlated with the volume of the injected filler. We recommend using this concentration with low volume or combining high volume with lower concentration. [GMJ.2019;8:e1148]

Published: January 2022

Background: Wild pistachio (Pistacia Atlantica mutica) species with wide distribution in Iran have different nutrition properties and may have therapeutic effects in metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome, as a prevalent health problem, is a main risk factor for different chronic diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver and cardiovascular diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the preventive effects of mixture, kernel, and hull oil of wild pistachio (WP) on oxidative stress markers, liver function and histopathological findings in metabolic syndrome induced rats. Materials and Methods: After oil extraction by cold press method and chemical analysis, rats were divided into 6 groups. Group 1 received normal saline;  group 2 received 2cc fructose solution and 0.5cc normal saline; and groups 3, 4, 5 and 6 received 2 cc fructose solution and 0.5 cc sunflower oil, mixture, hull and kernel oils of WP for 10 weeks, respectively. Then, glycemic indices, oxidative stress, liver enzymes and histopathological examination were determined using standard laboratory tests. Results: WP Kernel and mixture oils notably decreased the fasting blood sugar and insulin resistance compared with the fructose group. Insulin level was significantly increased in the kernel oil group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in oxidative stress, liver enzymes and histopathology parameters among the groups. Conclusion: Kernel oil of WP improved hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and insulin secretion, but the changes in oxidative stress markers, liver enzymes and histopathologic results were not significant among the groups.

Published: January 2022

Background: Studies have indicated that exaggerated hypertension during activity and stress can be a good predictor of the incidence of hypertension. This study tries to evaluate left ventricular (LV) function by tissue Doppler to assess early changes in ventricular compliance before the onset of Hypertension (HTN) in patients with exaggerated blood pressure response during the exercise test. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 40 patients without a history of hypertension with systolic blood pressure less than 140/90 which referred for exercise test, were included. The exercise test was performed for all patients. Patients who had exaggerated blood pressure during the stress test were considered as cases and the controls with normal blood pressure responses. Then standard echocardiography and Tissue Doppler imaging performed and indices of LV systolic and diastolic were recorded. Results: The LV mass in cases and controls were 174.9±50.78 and 152.9±33.59, respectively (P=0.114), and LV mass index in cases and controls were 127.4±13.5 and 79.8±15.75, respectively (P=0.023). Moreover, the LV Myocardial Performance Index were 0.68±0.11 and 0.48±0.06 in cases and controls, respectively (P<0.001). The heart rate, E/A, EE, E Velocity and S velocity were measuremented. Except E/A (P=0.009), there was no significant difference between the other variables measured between the cases and controls (P>0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that using 2D conventional echocardiography as a noninvasive method if performed in prestigious centers can evaluate systolic and diastolic function Tissue Doppler parameters very well in the early stages of heart disease caused by HTN. [GMJ.2020;9:e1323]

It is unusual in that it controls serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate neurotransmission concurrently, all of which have been implicated in severe mental illness. Consider it a multi-targeted ligand and multifunctional modulator of the serotoninergic system with possible precognitive, antipsychotic, antidepressant, and anxiolytic properties. While lumateperone has been explored as a new agent for schizophrenia therapy, it also provides a unique therapeutic option for a range of other psychiatric and neurological diseases, including behavioural signs of dementia or Alzheimer's disease, sleep problems, and bipolar depression. Additionally, it had a better safety profile than placebo, with no significant extrapyramidal side effects, hyperprolactinemia, or changes in cardiometabolic or endocrine characteristics. Additional study is needed to validate and analyse lumateperone's effectiveness, as well as to identify prospective therapeutic targets. This article gives a comprehensive overview of the most notable results and potential future applications of this chemical in personalised medicine, particularly for neurodegenerative diseases.

The objective of this research was to find out the effect of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure on plant height, leaf length, and harvest weight of pakcoy (Brasica rapa) in Andisols in Indramayu Regency. This study used a randomized block design factorial with two factors. The first factor is municipal waste compost and the second factor is cow manure. Each of them consisted of 4 levels : 0%, 3.0%, 6.0%, and 9.0% with two replication. The results showed that there was an interaction between municipal solid waste compost and cow manure on the plant heights of  pakcoy 14, 21, and 28 HST, but there was no interaction at 7 HST. The statistical results show that the combination of municipal solid waste compost with cow manure has an effect on the height of pakcoy 14, 21, and 28 HST, but the height of pakcoy 7 HST is influenced by the independent influence of cow manure. There was an interaction between municipal solid waste compost and cow manure on the leaf length of pakcoy 7, 14, 21, and 28 HST, and there was an interaction between municipal waste compost and cow manure on the harvest weight of pakcoy. The application of organic matter, both municipal solid waste compost and cow manure to the soil can increase plant height, leaf length, and harvest weight of pakcoy.
