Analysis of a Modification to the Sexual Experiences Survey to Assess Intimate Partner Sexual Violence
Authors: Anderson RaeAnn Elizabeth , Holmes Samantha C. , Johnson Nicole L. , Johnson Dawn M.
Published: November 2019

Greater accuracy is needed in the assessment of sexual victimization that occurs in intimate relationships. Existing assessment strategies in the literature often represent two distinct approaches – intimate partner violence specific strategies vs. sexual violence specific strategies. The current study compared multiple distinct strategies for assessing intimate partner sexual victimization (IPSV) and evaluated a modification that optimizes intimate partner and sexual violence specific strategies. Two samples of undergraduate women were recruited. Sample 1 (N = 236) completed the Severity of Violence Against Women Scales (SVAWS) and a modified version Sexual Experiences Survey–Short Form Victimization (SES-SFV) in which participants were cued to respond both for romantic partners and non-partners (referred to as the SES-RP/NP). Sample 2 (N = 206) completed the SVAWS and was randomized to either the traditional SES-SFV or the SES-RP/NP. Across samples, the prevalence of IPSV varied based on the measure used (SVAWS = 11.7%; SES-SFV = 17.0%; SES-RP/NP = 25.4%). The SES-RP/NP identified significantly more IPSV than the SES-SFV, SVAWS, and prior studies. Both the SES-SFV and the SES-RP/NP were positively and significantly associated with the SVAWS. The results suggested that optimal measurement of IPSV would consider both intimate partner and sexual violence strategies.

A new derivation of $\zeta(-r)=-\frac{B_{r+1}}{r+1}$
Authors: Jha Sumit Kumar
Published: November 2019

In this note, we give a new derivation for the fact that $\zeta(-r)=-\frac{B_{r+1}}{r+1}$ where $\zeta(s)$ represents the Riemann zeta function, and $B_{r}$ represents the Bernoulli numbers. Our proof uses the well-known explicit formula for the Bernoulli numbers in terms of the Stirling numbers of the second kind, and the Ramanujan's master theorem to obtain an integral representation for the Riemann zeta function.

Psychophysical interactions with photon polarization: Two exploratory studies
Authors: Radin Dean , Carpenter Loren
Published: November 2019

The present study explored possible psychophysical interactions between focused mental intention and the electromagnetic field vector, i.e., polarization. To detect the hypothesized effect, a laser beam was passed through horizontal and vertical polarizers. Participants were asked to focus their attention on the beam between the two polarizers while holding the intention for the beam’s polarization to rotate. If the photons’ electric field vector was affected, then the illumination intensity of the beam exiting the second polarizer should increase. Two exploratory experiments both showed results contrary to the hypothesis, with illumination decreasing during periods when intention was focused toward the beam as compared to periods where attention was withdrawn. Reanalysis of data from previously published experiments, also involving mental influence of beams of light, but designed for different purposes and originally analyzed in other ways, also showed a reduction in light intensity during periods of focused attention. These studies suggest that psychophysical interactions with light appears to result in scattering or absorbing photons. Further research is warranted to confirm these results.
How to embrace variation and accept uncertainty in linguistic and psycholinguistic data analysis
Authors: Vasishth Shravan , gelman andrew
Published: November 2019

The use of statistical inference in linguistics and related areas like psychology typically involves a binary decision: either reject or accept some null hypothesis using statistical significance testing. When statistical power is low, this frequentist data-analytic approach breaks down: null results are uninformative, and significant results are driven by Type M error. Using an example from psycholinguistics, several alternative approaches are demonstrated for reporting inconsistencies between the data and a theoretical prediction. The key here is to focus on committing to a falsifiable prediction, on quantifying uncertainty statistically, and to learn to accept the fact that---in almost all practical data analysis situations---we can only draw uncertain conclusions from data, regardless of whether we manage to obtain statistical significance or not. A focus on uncertainty quantification is likely to lead to fewer excessively bold claims that, on closer investigation, may turn out to be not supported by the data.
Scientific Literacy Based on Adversity Quotient
Authors: Setiawan Adib Rifqi , Matahari
Published: November 2019

Burhān al-Dīn al-Zarnūjī in his treatise Ta'līm al-Muta'allim Ṭorīq al-Ta'allum proposed that the academic achievement has six things dependency: ingenious acumen, fervent desire, patience, sufficent sustenance, guidance of a teacher, and length of time. In other side, Paul Stoltz in his book Adversity Quotient: Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities coined adversity quotient term as a score that measures the ability of a person to deal with adversities in his or her life. Hence, adversity quotient is commonly known as the science of patience. Based on this perspective, we was empirically tested students scientific literacy through correlational research. In particular, first adversity quotient was measured with Adversity Response Profile (ARP) includes four dimensions that are characterized as control, ownership, reach, and endurance. Second, scientific literacy was tested with Scientific Literacy Test (SLT) that focused on three competencies. Third, we used Pearson r to elaborate correlation of scientific literacy with adversity quotient. The participants of the study were 50 students in Kabupaten Kudus choosen by purposive sampling technique. The findings suggest that it is important to facilitate students’ adversity quotient to guide them on achieving scientific literacy.

Published: November 2019

Despite many career opportunities available to veterinarians in research related fields and requirements for training in research methodologies by the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education (AVMA COE), formal approaches to development of veterinary curriculum related to research topics have not been widely reported. Colorado State University (CSU) offers a one-credit course that introduces first-year veterinary students to skills and career opportunities in research. Here we provide information about the course structure and content, and report outcomes of survey data that assesses the impact of the course on student appreciation and understanding of the research process. We found that most United States (US) veterinary colleges do not offer a didactic course on the research process. Student opinions of veterinary researchers were generally high, though a proportion of students (30%–40%) would have preferred a practice management class to a course on research principles. Nearly 25% of students reported that they were significantly influenced to consider research careers after taking the course. We document that this one-credit seminar course improved veterinary student perceptions of their understanding of the research process and resulted in self-reported influence of career choice.

Published: November 2019

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the nature and extent of publications and to evaluate whether lead advisor role and experience, data collection tool, sample size, and research topic predict publication for research projects completed as part of a Canadian Master of Science in Physical Therapy (MScPT) programme. Method: We conducted a quantitative, cross-sectional, retrospective review of projects completed between 2003 and 2015 and confirmed publication status through citations of published work, a literature search, and a survey of advisors. We used descriptive statistics to describe the nature and extent of publications and logistic regression to analyze potential predictor variables. Results: Between 2003 and 2015, 44.5% of the 218 projects completed were associated with at least one peer-reviewed journal publication, and there was a seven-fold increase in annual publication rate. Projects led by a scientist or researcher ([OR] = 3.09; 95% CI: 1.15, 8.35), qualitative projects with 10 or more participants ([OR] 6.22; 95% CI: 1.96, 19.78), and quantitative projects with more than 50 participants ([OR] = 2.29; 95% CI: 1.14, 4.63) were associated with an increased likelihood of publication. Conclusions: MScPT research is published at a moderate rate, and annual publication rates increased between 2003 and 2015. Encouragement to obtain adequate sample sizes and additional support for clinician-led projects may enhance publication rates and, ultimately, bridge gaps in research-to-practice integration.

Authors: Zelinskaya A.V.
Published: November 2019

An important problem in the diagnosis, treatment and prediction of papillary thyroid cancer is radioiodine-resistant metastases, early prediction of which is possible on the condition of determining their cytological and histological characteristics. The purpose of this work was to identify the histological and cytological characteristics of metastases of papillary thyroid carcinomas correlated with their iodine-accumulative capacity, on the basis of which it will be possible to predict the radio-resistance of papillary thyroid carcinomas. A cytological examination of punctates of 30 papillary carcinomas and 45 of their metastases identified in the postoperative period and analysis of the histological characteristics of 100 papillary carcinomas of the general population, 47 primary papillary carcinomas and their radio-resistant metastasis and 17 primary papillary carcinomas of patients with radioiodine-uptake metastases were conducted. Statistical analysis was performed via the non-parametric criterion χ2 in the package Statistica 11.0. It has been shown a statistically significant difference between presence of sign of follicular structures in the histological material of primary papillary canсer of patients with radioiodine-resistance metastases and between of primary papillary canсer of patients with radioiodine-uptake metastases and common population of papillary thyroid cancer. It has been shown a statistically significant difference between punctuates of radioiodine-resistance and radioiodine-uptake metastases in presence of such cytological characteristics as different subpopulations of thyrocytes. It has been shown that the cytological characteristics of radioiodine-resistant metastases differ from radioiodine-uptake metastases and primary papillary carcinomas by the presence of different subpopulations of thyrocytes, particular structures and oxyphilic changes. It is shown that such histological characteristics as lack of follicular structures in the material of primary papillary carcinomas correlate with radio-resistance and can be prognostic factors of its appearance.
Morphofunctional changes in the lymphoid component of the rats prostate gland in conditions of immunostimulation

Published: November 2019

To date, the state of the local immune system of the human prostate gland is not sufficiently studied, which prevents in-depth study of sexual disorders and infertility in men, as well as its common diseases: hypertrophy, adenoma, cancer. In order to study the morphological state of the lymphoid apparatus of the prostate of rats on the background of immunostimulation, 60 rat prostate glands were studied by histological, morphometric and statistical methods. Using the methods of variation statistics, we assessed the correctness of the distribution of signs for each of the obtained variation series, the average values for each attribute that was studied, standard errors and standard deviations. The reliability of differences in values between independent micrometric values with a normal distribution of signs was determined by the Student’s criterion. The paper describes the patterns of formation of the local immune system of the prostate gland in the experiment after the introduction of immunoglobulin in adult male rats Wistar line. It was revealed that in rats after administration of immunoglobulin, the formation of lymphoid structures was observed three days earlier than in intact and control rats. First appear lymphoid formations in the stroma of the prostate gland, in the blood vessels – perivascular lymphoid nodules. By the end of the first week, lymphoid structures are formed in the glandular epithelium of the prostate gland – lymphoepithelial nodules. In lymphoid structures, the content of lymphocytes in all periods exceeds the benchmarks with the maximum changes on day 7 of the study. Reactive changes in the capillary endothelium in close relationship with the restructuring of lymphoid nodules during antigenic stimulation indicate that they are redundant in providing immune homeostasis. Thus, against the background of immunostimulation, changes occur in the local immune system of the prostate gland, manifested in an increase in the number of immunocompetent cells, the formation of lymphoid nodules, and are accompanied by corresponding changes in the hemomicrocirculatory bed.

Recently, while conducting scientific research in the field of theoretical and preventive medicine, biomedical preventive anthropology and statistical processing of their results, one of the leading places is the cluster analysis procedure, which involves the search for the patterns of grouping as research objects and their leading features in separate local plural and subset, that is, in separate clusters. Researches that provided for determining the leading characteristics of the quality of life and the peculiarities of the course of psychological adaptation processes based on the use of commonly accepted psychohygienic practices of personal questionnaires were conducted on the basis of educational institutions in Ivano-Frankivsk. Statistical analysis of the obtained data provided for the use of descriptive statistics and cluster analysis procedures using the licensed standardized application package of the multivariate statistical analysis “Statistica 6.1 for Windows” (license number ВXXR901E245722FA). The results of the conducted research indicate the existence of an extremely stable structure of the identified groups, among which in all investigated cases, it necessary to note the cluster associated with the leading indicators of quality of life, which united in its structure characteristics of quality of life on the scales Bodily Pain (BP, scale (Physical Functioning), Mental Health (MH, Mental Health Scale), General Health (GH, General Health Scale), Vitality (VT, Viability Scale), and Social Functioning (SF, scale of social functioning), neuro-psychical cluster combining personal and situational anxiety, depressive and asthenic states, as well as an integral cluster that included in its structure the characteristics of quality of life on the scale of Role-Emotional (RE, role-playing role scale) and Role-Physical (RP, scale of role-physical functioning) and indicators of subjective control in health and disease and neuroticism. The obtained data should further find a proper place in the structure of diagnostic and preventive approaches to assess the state of health and functional state of the body of pupils and students.

In nowadays, an important area in medicine is the early preclinical identification of the parameters deviations from the norm, where mathematical modeling can help, which should be used to calculate individual linear parameters of internal structures based on external parameters of the body. The aim of the study was to calculate the individual total linear measures of the lumbar intervertebral discs in juniors and men of the first adulthood (17-28 years) in norm. The total size of the each intervertebral discs were calculated a sum of the anterior-posterior diameter, frontal diameter and vertical sizes of each lumbar intervertebral discs, which were measured by MRI. The next step was to calculate the relative proportional nonlinear somato-disc rates (based on body weight and body length) for each individual examined. Mathematical processing of the measured parameters and the relative values of the somato-disc relationships was carried out by the statistical data processing program “STATISTICA 6.1” using parametric methods. The correct distribution of the variational series indicators, mean values and their standard errors were evaluated. Based on relative values the mathematical model was created to obtain individual values of the TS of the lumbar intervertebral discs. Subsequently, we compared the measured total discs sizes of the anterior-posterior, frontal diameters and vertical sizes of the lumbar intervertebral discs with a mathematically calculated value for each lumbar intervertebral discs. The significant difference between the mathematically calculated and measured values of the total intervertebral discs’ sizes of the didn’t exceed 10%. Determination of the standard linear dimensions of the intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine using CT and MRI and comparison with theoretically calculated indices will make it possible to diagnose early manifestations of the lumbar intervertebral discs pathology.

Great is the importance of the application of management tools in the context of materials management and its effectiveness highlights the impacts it causes on the production processes of industrial organizations. The objective of the research is analyzing points in the production line in aluminum frames “Practical” that generates lack of done products at the moment of the loading. It is believed that there is a lack of monitoring of the safety stock during the processes. Regarding the methodological section, a case study will examine the use of techniques and methods in the composition of the field research in Haiala Metallurgical Company. The traditional case study investigation strategy is applied in order to understand the unit of analysis as the essence of the case in investigation, focusing on the organization's productive process as a unit of analysis as a determinant of this research project. The operational process of stock market has a high weight in the production; it must be treated with targeted investments in the sector, as in the training of professionals, as in the processes and systems that will gain time in qualifying and quality of products and services. According to the data obtained, the researchers reported the possibility of any flaws relationed with the production line, resupply time of the feedstock in the working point and turnover. It was concluded that the lack of the finished product was due to the lack of an accurate production planning.
The structure and evolution of the east Greenland continental margin before spreading started on the Kolbeinsey ridge
Authors: Usenko S. V. , Prokhorova T. V.
Published: November 2019

An analysis of the deep structure of the East Greenland margin (Blosseville Kyst to Liverpool Land) and of the Jan Mayen microcontinent resulted in the development of a crustal model that was valid for both before their disruption. A joint model clearly demonstrates the net result of rifting phases during Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic time. Starting from the Devonian, a graben-shaped depression about 180 km wide existed between Liverpool Land and the Jan Mayen Ridge; the depression was formed by subsiding of the crystalline basement that was not compensated by sedimentation. The marine basin was approximately 2 km deep during late Devonian time. The west-east joint deep crustal section clearly defines three depths in the upper mantle that fit dome-like surfaces superposed on each other. We interpret these surfaces as temperature fronts of mantle plumes that differ by their time of origin: Paleozoic, Mesozoic to Cenozoic, and late Cenozoic. The rim of the present-day Blosseville Kyst and Liverpool Land shelf is found to be underlain by a basement high that is associated with the axis of a positive free-air gravity anomaly. East of the high along the anomaly axis, we identified a continent-ocean boundary. The present-day phase in the geological evolution of the Greenland-Norwegian region north of Iceland is characterized by an increased thermal state of the lithosphere and manifestations of intraplate tectonics.

Published: November 2019

The rise of blockchain has resulted in discussions on (new) governance models with multiple actors collaborating. Incidents and problems occurred due to flaws in blockchain protocols, smart contracts and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Often it is unclear how decisions are made concerning evolvement of blockchain applications. In this paper, we identify and analyze potential challenges regarding governance of blockchain initiatives in various types of decentralized networks using literature and case study research. The governance challenges are classified based on a framework consisting of different layers (infrastructure, application, company and institution/country) and stages (design, operate, evolve/crisis). The results show that in various stages and layers, different challenges occur. Furthermore, blockchain applications governance and blockchain infrastructure governance were found to be entangled adding to the challenge. Our research shows a specific need for further research into governance models for DAO applications on permissionless blockchains, linked to the products and services offered whereas in permissioned blockchains and other type of applications, existing governance models might often be feasible. For developing new governance models, we recommend learning from the lessons from the open source community.

Governments have vast data resources related to a wide-variety of policies and programs. Integrating and sharing data across agencies and departments can add value to these data resources and bring about significant changes in public services as well as better government decisions. However, in addition to the lack of standards and an adequate information architecture, the main obstacles to a centralized government data-sharing strategy are security and privacy concerns. Blockchain - a decentralized peer-to-peer distributed ledger technology - provides a new way to develop sharing mechanisms. In addition, blockchain-based systems are difficult to tamper with and are highly traceable. Based on the current problems of a big data center in the city of Ningbo, China, this paper identifies limitations of this approach and explores the potential of some data sharing mechanism based on blockchain technology. Our analysis describes some potential advantages and the feasibility of using distributed data sharing and automated management mechanisms based on blockchain smart contracts. We also explore implementation challenges and provide some practical recommendations.
Mapping potential impact areas of Blockchain use in the public sector
Authors: Rodríguez Bolívar Manuel Pedro , Scholl Hans Jochen
Published: November 2019

While the financial sector was the first to investigate the potential of Blockchain, and in more general terms, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), with an initial focus on digital currencies including cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether, the study of potential uses of this technology is gradually expanding to also include other areas of application including public-sector applications. Academic and non-academic publications on the subject have so far burgeoned mainly in and around the so-called fintech (financial technology) area, a fact that is underlined by a surprisingly high number of literature reviews already performed in this relatively novel area of research. For the public sector and the study domain of Digital Government, Blockchain and DLT have remained under-researched topics, and the number of respective publications is still relatively low. The aim of this meta-level literature study is to map the existing Blockchain and DLT-related body of knowledge and link its prevalent concepts to known needs and requirements studied in the context of the public sector and in Digital Government. Among the concepts, which intersect the existing literature on Blockchain strongly with the public sector-related research and practice, the study found cost reduction, innovation, regulation, taxation, security, privacy, transparency, among others, all of which deserve increased attention from scholars active in the domain of Digital Government research.
Hysteresis modeling and tracking control for piezoelectric stack actuators using neural-Preisach model
Authors: Chen Yuansheng , Huang Qinbin , Wang Hao , Qiu Jinhao
Published: November 2019

Classic Preisach model can precisely describe the hysteresis of piezoelectric stack actuators, but its model identification is relatively complicated. Neural network is easy to be identified with available training algorithm, but it cannot directly describe the multi-valued mapping of hysteresis. A neural-Preisach model was proposed for modeling and control of piezoelectric stack actuators. The neural-Preisach model inherits the advantages of Preisach model and neural network, which can describe the hysteresis and update parameters by training algorithm. A feedforward controller was designed with the inverse neural-Preisach model, and then experiments of tracking control were performed to validate the effectiveness of the neural-Preisach model. The maximal error, in case of feedforward and PID controller, is reduced by 83.97%, comparing with the case without control. This indicates that control accuracy with hysteresis compensation is greatly improved compared to that without hysteresis compensation.
Contingencies of Self-Worth and Global Self-Esteem Among College Women: The Role of Masculine and Feminine Traits Endorsement
Authors: Mandal Eugenia , Moroń Marcin
Published: November 2019

The study examined the relative importance of seven contingencies of self-worth of Polish college women's (appearance, others' approval, competition, academic competencies, family support, virtue, God's love), as well as the associations between preference for particular contingencies and global self-esteem. Additionally, the predictive role of the self-assignment of masculine and feminine traits for both contingencies of self-worth and global self-esteem was investigated. The participants were one hundred and ninety-four Polish women in emerging adulthood (aged from 19 to 26; M = 21.36; SD = 1.67). Participants provided self-reports of self-ascription of masculine and feminine traits, the contingencies of self-worth, and self-esteem. Obtained results showed that the family support contingency of self-worth was the most preferred one, followed by virtue contingent self-worth, academic competencies, competition, and appearance contingencies of self-esteem, while the less preferred contingencies were: others' approval and God's love. Appearance and others’ approval contingencies of self-worth correlated negatively with self-esteem. Masculine traits were positively linked to competition contingency of self-worth, but negatively to physical appearance self-worth contingency and others’ approval self-worth contingency, whereas feminine traits were positively correlated with both physical appearance self-worth contingency and others’ approval self-worth contingency. The findings showed the positive associations between self-ascription of traits regarded to be masculine and self-esteem, and a lack of significant associations between self-description of feminine traits and self-esteem. Structural equation modeling demonstrated predictive role of masculine traits for self-esteem when feminine traits’ self-ascription and contingencies of self-worth were controlled.

Published: November 2019

Amaç: Bu araştırma, doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak ilkokul çocuklarına verilen beslenme eğitiminin, beslenme bilgi düzeyine etkisini karşılaştırmak amacıyla planlanmış ve yürütülmüştür.

Bireyler ve Yöntem: Çalışma Okan Koleji İlkokulu’nda 2017-2018 eğitim öğretim döneminde eğitim gören tüm ikinci ve üçüncü sınıf öğrencileriyle (n=70) yürütülmüştür. Çalışma öncesi sınıflar rastgele iki gruba ayrılmıştır: (1) doğrudan beslenme eğitimi verilen grup (DE: 2A ve 3A sınıfları), (2) dolaylı beslenme eğitimi verilen grup (ÖE: 2B ve 3B sınıfları). Çalışmanın birinci aşamasında ÖE grubundaki öğretmenlere, bir hafta arayla toplamda iki kez, 70 dakika süren beslenme eğitimleri verilmiştir. Eğitim alan öğretmenler kendi sınıflarında konuyla ilgili derslerde 4 hafta süresince (35 dakika/hafta, toplam 140 dakika) sağlıklı beslenme eğitimi vererek dolaylı beslenme eğitimini tamamlamıştır. DE grubundaki öğrencilere ise 4 hafta süresince toplam 140 dakika süren beslenme eğitimi araştırmacı tarafından doğrudan verilmiştir. Eğitim öncesinde öğrencilere demografik özelliklerini içeren anket formu, besin tüketim sıklık formu ve beslenme bilgi testi uygulanmıştır. Beslenme eğitimi ile verilen bilgilerin özümsenmesi ve davranışa dönüştürülmesi amacıyla 2 aylık ara sonrası öğrencilere besin tüketim sıklığı ve beslenme bilgi düzeyi anket formları tekrar uygulanmıştır.

Bulgular: Eğitim sonunda, eğitim yöntemi farkı olmaksızın tüm öğrencilerin beslenme bilgi puan ortalamaları artmış olsa da beslenme bilgileri orta düzeyde kalmıştır. Doğrudan beslenme eğitimi verilen öğrencilerin ortalama beslenme bilgi puanı düşük düzeyden orta bilgi düzeyine (p<0.05), dolaylı beslenme eğitimi verilen öğrencilerin ise orta düzeyden yüksek bilgi düzeyine yükselmiştir (p<0.05).

Sonuç: Beslenme eğitiminde kullanılan her iki eğitim şeklinin de çocukların beslenme bilgi düzeylerini olumlu yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Eğitim sonunda, dolaylı verilen eğitimde daha yüksek bilgi düzeyine sahip öğrenci sayısının fazla olması, başlangıçtaki bilgi düzeylerinin daha yüksek olmasından kaynaklı olabilir.

Amaç: Üniversite öğrencileri yeme bozuklukları açısından risk altında olan gruplardan biridir. Bu çalışma üniversite öğrencilerinde sosyal fizik kaygı ve depresyonun yeme bozuklukları ile ilişkisini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Bireyler ve Yöntem: Yaş ortalaması 20.6±1.7 yıl olan 318 öğrenci üzerinde yapılan bu çalışmada yeme davranış bozukluğu riskini saptamak için Yeme Tutum Testi (EAT-26) ve REZZY (SCOFF) Yeme Bozuklukları Ölçeği, depresyon varlığını saptamak için Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ), bireylerin fiziksel görünüşlerinin başkaları tarafından değerlendirildiğinde hissettikleri rahatsızlık düzeyini ölçmede ise Sosyal Fizik Kaygı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: EAT-26 ve REZZY ölçeklerine göre öğrencilerin sırasıyla %20.1’inin ve %28.6’sının yeme bozukluğu riski altında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yeme davranış bozukluğu riski sosyal fizik kaygı (r=0.345, p=0.000) ve depresyon düzeyi (r=0.247, p=0.000) ile anlamlı olarak ilişkilidir. Yeme davranış bozukluğu riski ve beden kütle indeksi arasında anlamlı, pozitif bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r=0.248, p=0.000). Ayrıca hafif şişman ve obez kız öğrencilerde sosyal fizik kaygı düzeyinin daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.05).

Sonuç: Üniversite öğrencilerinde sosyal fizik kaygı ve depresyonun, öğrencilerin yeme bozukluğu riskiyle karşı karşıya kalmalarına neden olabileceği görülmüştür. Bu durum dikkate alınarak yeme bozuklukları ve neden olan faktörlere yönelik daha büyük örneklemde çalışmalar yapılmasına ihtiyaç vardır. Riskli gruplarda (cinsiyet olarak kız, hafif şişman-obez, depresyon varlığı vb.) kısa ölçeklerin (REZZY vb.) uygulanması ve vücut ağırlığının izlemi ile düzensiz yeme şekilleri değerlendirilerek, olası bir depresyon ve beraberinde gelişebilecek olası bir yeme bozukluğunun önüne geçilebilir.

Launched in 2014, the aim of the Funeralscapes project is to explore the interplay between landscape, music and emotion by conducting re-enactment fieldwork at pre-modern burial sites in Scotland. In 2014 re-creations of aspects of a Viking funeral at an archaeologically attested Viking burial site was conducted with adult and primary school aged community volunteers on the Isle of Eigg. The aim was to investigate how Viking Age funeral music and movement (such as processions) could have worked in their immediate environment, and what emotional responses the modern-day participants had to the landscape and music. Following a brief outline of the site and performance choices, this paper draws upon fieldwork and interviews conducted with the participants following the re-enactments. It particularly comments upon the dramatic performance of heritage as a method through which the past is taught and remembered.
The Post-Program Era: The Rise of Internet & Society Centers—and a New Interdiscipline
Authors: Pooley Jefferson
Published: November 2019

There’s a new academic meta-field, centered on digital life, that doesn’t look anything like a traditional discipline. The field is more like an estuary, fed by a number of existing disciplines—library and information science, law, sociology, science and technology studies, and communication. It’s an interdisciplinary mashup of fields whose domains (“media”, “information,” “technology”) have merged. What makes the new, nameless formation interesting is its place in the university: the new field is seeded by institutes that—crucially—exist outside the established department system. It is a resolutely cross-disciplinary field, whose brick-and-mortar centers, like Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, are designed for idea exchange. The academics who populate the field, they reside in established departments and schools; it’s when they have thinking to share that they travel to Cambridge or to one of the other institutes.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a typical hypervascular solid tumor that requires neoangiogenesis for growth. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most potent proangiogenic factor in neovascularization. The multifunctional Yin-Yang 1 (YY1) is involved in the regulation of tumor malignancy of HCC. However, the relationship between YY1 and endothelial cell-dependent tumor angiogenesis in HCC remains unclear. In this study, we observed that YY1 is positively correlated with microvessel density (MVD) and poor prognosis in HCC tissues. We further found that YY1 promotes the transcriptional activity of VEGFA by binding its promoter in HCC. The secreted VEGFA from HCC cells activates phosphorylation of VEGFR2 to promotes tube formation, cell migration, and invasion of vascular endothelial cells in vitro, and promotes tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo. In addition, upregulation of YY1 enhanced resistance of bevacizumab in HCC cells. These results indicate that YY1 plays essential roles in HCC angiogenesis and resistance of bevacizumab by inducing VEGFA transcription and that YY1 may represent a potential molecular target for antiangiogenic therapy during HCC progression.
Progress and Prospects of Tourism Climate Research in China

Published: November 2019

Tourism climate research is of great significance to the tourism industry because tourism is closely linked to climate. Based on an analysis of related core papers, this paper reviews the research progress on tourism climate in China in terms of research method, research process, and research topic. Research on tourism climate in China started later than similar research in some Western countries and the topics mainly focused on tourism climate resources, climate comfort for tourism, the impact of climate on tourists’ behavior and emotion, climate and tourism seasonality, climate change and tourism development, etc. To provide scientific support for the sustainable development of China’s tourism industry, we propose the following for future research, based on our review of the literature: (1) strengthening the theoretical study of tourism climatology, (2) constructing and improving the research content system, and (3) enriching relevant research in climate-sensitive areas.
Simulation Comparisons of Particulate Emissions from Fires under Marginal and Critical Conditions

Published: November 2019

Using a particulate emissions model developed for FIRETEC, we explore differences in particle emission profiles between high-intensity fires under critical conditions and low-intensity fires under marginal conditions. Simulations were performed in a chaparral shrubland and a coniferous pine forest representative of the southeast United States. In each case, simulations were carried out under marginal and critical fire conditions. Marginal fire conditions include high moisture levels and low winds, often desired for prescribed fires as these conditions produce a low-intensity burn with slower spread rates. Critical fire conditions include low moisture levels and high winds, which easily lead to uncontrollable wildfires which produce a high-intensity burn with faster spread rates. These simulations’ resultant particle emission profiles show critical fire conditions generate larger particle emission factors, higher total mass emissions, and a higher lofting potential of particles into the atmosphere when compared against marginal fire conditions but similar particle size distrubtions. In addition, a sensitivity analysis of the emissions model was performed to evaluate key parameters which govern particle emission factor and particle size.
Changes in Reference Evapotranspiration over Southwest China during 1960–2018: Attributions and Implications for Drought

Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is important to the global energy balance and to hydrological cycling. However, the extent to which ET0 changes, the main driving factors, and especially the implications of its shift for drought in Southwest China are not clear. In this study, trends in Penman–Monteith ET0 and other climatic parameters at 79 stations in Southwest China from 1960 to 2018 were investigated by using the Mann–Kendall test. Furthermore, partial correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to determine the dominant climate driving factors in changes in ET0. The relative contribution of precipitation and ET0 to drought duration was also quantified based on spatial multiple linear regression. Results revealed that annual ET0 decreased significantly (p < 0.01) at a rate of 14.1 mm per decade from 1960 to 2000, and this decrease disappeared around 2000. For the entire study period, the sunshine duration (Tsun) was the most closely correlated with and played a dominant role in the variations in ET0 at both annual and seasonal (summer and autumn) timescales, whereas the relative humidity was the most dominant factor in the spring and winter. Trends in the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index revealed that drought has become more serious in Southwest China, and ET0 has made a greater contribution to the duration of drought than precipitation. Our findings highlight that more attention should be paid to the impacts of ET0 changes on drought in Southwest China. Furthermore, these results can provide a reference for the allocation of water resources and the implementation of countermeasures to climate change.
