With the development of social networks and their becoming as the main means of informing citizens about the activities of local, central and European public administration, more and more institutions have synchronized their institutional communication strategy with the functioning mechanisms and characteristics of Social Media. At the same time, in the age of social networks, concepts for authority and control of the public message have been reconfigured, and most public institutions have understood that in Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Youtube, etc.), institutions do not have control over the message, but the essential role in the dissemination and control of the message is played by the online public.
Procrastination in Upper School Female Students at a New York City Private School Before and During the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2019
Authors: Padilla Chloe , Pan Elaine
Published: April 2021

Procrastination can affect some people in negative ways (Tice 1997). Teenagers are vulnerable to the detrimental effects of procrastination as they learn to manage school-life balance (Reinecke 2018). The coronavirus pandemic led to virtual education and less extracurricular activities, inadvertently increasing teens’ unscheduled home time and possibly altering procrastination habits. There is little research about the pandemic’s effects on teenagers’ education habits and the extent to which teenagers’ procrastination habits have been affected. Teenagers’ procrastination levels would need to be determined before and during the pandemic. This study was conducted to help educators develop strategies to help teenagers manage school-life balance and decrease procrastination during the pandemic. This study reviewed the frequency of students’ procrastination levels before and during the COVID-19 outbreak based on the “percentage of time passed when assignments were submitted between time they were assigned at The Chapin School. 392 samples were collected and analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test. The p-value of 0 was lower than the alpha of 0.01, with a confidence level of 99%. The alternative hypothesis that the level of procrastination in teenagers has decreased as a result of the coronavirus pandemic was accepted with 99% confidence. The collected data seemed to support the alternative hypothesis before analysis due to the differences in the frequency of the levels of procrastination before and during the pandemic. The results found in this study show educators that the new virtual platforms and schedules implemented during quarantine may have decreased the amount of procrastination in students.
Digital Addiction in Teenagers: Tackling it With an App Based on Behavioral Economics
Authors: Kitchener Samantha , T Zoe
Published: April 2021

In recent years, smartphone usage has increased rapidly, especially in teenagers. The excessive screen time can lead to digital addiction which means people use technology to a point where they cannot stop, even though they recognize the negative consequences associated with it. In behavioral economics, there are two ways of classifying all decisions we make in life: rational and irrational. A rational decision would be one that gives us the most utility or satisfaction. Because humans are imperfect, we constantly make irrational decisions, such as using our phone too much even though we know that it is not the best use of our time. There is an explanation in behavioral economics behind this though. There are theories such as hyperbolic discounting and present bias that say humans value things more that are in the present time. I am recommending the use of an app in order to lower teens' screen time. This app would have numerous features such as goal setting, points/rewards, and a leaderboard that directly counteract this irrational behavior.
Harnessing Neutrino Energy for a Sustainable Future
Authors: Supraja Balaji Priyanka , Torres Thompson Ellen , Edmond IV Lawrence , Della Santina Nicole
Published: April 2021

There is a growing need for sustainable forms of renewable energy sources that are efficient, and cost-beneficial. Finding such energy sources is one of the critical challenges of the 21st century. This paper focuses on the prospects of using high energy particles abundant in the universe as a solution to the energy crisis faced around the world. The high energy particle studied in this paper is the neutrino.

Neutrinos are subatomic particles that are one-millionth the size of an electron (“How much does a neutrino weigh”, n.d). They are of interest to physicists because they are present virtually everywhere, travel through regular forms of matter, and have exceptionally high energy levels (“What is a Neutrino”, 1999). Neutrinos have ten billion electron volts when traveling freely across space, which is enough energy to break up the nucleus of an atom (“Neutrino Energies”, n.d). Due to their high energy levels and eternal presence, neutrinos are a promising candidate for a renewable energy source. However, due to minimal reactions with other forms of matter, it is difficult to harness their intrinsic energies. A panel that is capable of absorbing neutrinos can potentially produce substantial amounts of heat energy, which can then be converted into electricity. 

Energy from neutrinos is a great theoretical alternative and a clean source of energy for our planet and future generations to come. This paper takes another step forward in the mission to produce a primary source of energy that is green and sustainable for our planet.
Why People Stand By
Authors: Ganti Nithya , Baek Sori
Published: April 2021

Bystander effect is the phenomenon that describes how, when more people are around, each individual is less likely to intervene. While the bystander effect is an integral part of studying social behaviors and group thinking, the many caveats it presents itself with must be considered. Every situation differs based on location, people, and circumstance, so the idea of the bystander effect is not valid in every scenario, as evidenced by the various counter-examples and contradictory findings researchers have discovered. However, the bystander effect is still very important to study because understanding what encourages/prevents people from helping is critical to decrease the effect of the bystander effect to promote helping behavior. In this paper, we discuss the various factors that affect the prevalence of the bystander effect: perceived physical and social harm to the helper, responsibility diffusion, and perceived helpfulness.
An Investigation of Dopamine’s Role in Six Psychiatric Illnesses
Authors: Wang Alyssa
Published: April 2021

This paper aims to investigate the neurotransmitter dopamine’s role in six prevalent psychiatric disorders: attention-deficit disorder, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizophrenia. Although dopamine’s contribution to schizophrenia is the most understood, dopamine’s role in other disorders is also an increasing area of research. Dopamine affects reward-motivated behavior, motor control, cognition, and possesses many other sub-functions as well. Dysfunction in dopamine firing rate, firing time, tonic and phasic levels, and receptor and transporter density can lead to numerous diseases and symptoms. Having a better understanding of how dopamine affects these illnesses specifically can lead to the development of more effective treatment and medication. Thus, the analysis of the studies and proposals for how dopamine is involved in various mental disorders are discussed in this review.

The classification of tympanomastoid surgery for cholesteatoma by the new SAMEO-ATO system in clinical practice
Authors: Homoláč Michal , Valenta Tomáš , Školoudík Lukáš , Mejzlík Jan , Chrobok Viktor
Published: April 2021

Introduction: The SAMEO-ATO system established by IOOG consensus in 2018 introduces a new, complex, and unified classification of middle ear surgery. This system is generally suitable for various surgical procedures in the middle ear. The main goal of this work is to present our experience of using the new classification system in the clinical practice focusing on cholesteatoma surgery. Methods: We have retrospectively classified the group of patients who underwent surgery for chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma between 2013 and 2017. Results: We classified 142 cholesteatoma surgeries carried out on 104 patients (56 men and 48 women at the age 5–77 years, with the mean 33 years and the median 27 years) using the SAMEO-ATO classification. There were 77 primary surgeries (S1), 40 second-look surgeries (S2p) and 25 secondary surgeries for recidivism (S2r). There was a 50% (20) incidence of recurrent cholesteatoma in S2p surgeries and 76% (19) incidence of residual cholesteatoma in S2r. We have further evaluated our group of patients by each SAMEO-ATO subclassification. In the mastoid part of surgery (parameter “M”), the combination of M1a + 2a (N = 49, 34.51%) was most frequent, followed by M2c (N = 25, 17.61%), M2a (N = 20, 14.08%), M1a (N = 4, 2.82%), M2b (N = 5, 3.52%), M3a (N = 3, 2.11%) and M3b (N = 1, 0.70%). In the ossicular reconstruction (parameter “O”), the most frequent was Osd (N = 58, 40.85%), followed by Ost (N = 21, 14.79%), Oft (N = 19, 13.38%), Ofd (N = 5, 3.52%) and Osm (N = 5, 3.52%). Conclusions: The SAMEO-ATO classifies various surgical techniques of cholesteatoma removal as well as reconstruction of the ossicular chain. It allows the creation of a unified database of patients who underwent middle ear surgery and the comparison of the results of different surgery techniques among various departments. The collected data are applicable for research purposes.
Temporal bone meningioma

Published: April 2021

The aim of this case report is to discuss a very rare pathology – temporal bone meningioma. The extracranial location of meningiomas and temporal bone meningioma is a very rare condition. The symptomatology of temporal bone meningiomas is nonspecific, imitating chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma. However, temporal bone meningioma has a distinctive image on computed tomography. There is a change in the architecture without bone destruction that should be known by otorhinolaryngologist and radiologist. Magnetic resonance paging should be performed when temporal bone meningioma is suspected. The management of temporal bone meningiomas depends on a variety of factors. The most common therapy includes a combination of neurosurgical and otological surgery. There are also alternatives like stereotactic irradiation.
Stickler syndrome in the Czech Republic: phenotypic variability and genetic heterogeneity
Authors: Čopíková Jana , Katra Rami , Kremlíková Pourová Radka
Published: April 2021

Stickler syndrome (STL) is a progressive multisystemic disorder of connective tissue with an incidence of 1:7,500 newborns, which is probably underestimated due to its considerable clinical and genetic heterogeneity. STL symptoms include cleft palate or the Pierre-Robin sequence, hearing and/ or vision impairment, namely early high myopia and spontaneous retinal detachment, skeletal dysplasia, and a characteristic facial appearance, including a flat profile, protruding eyes, and micrognathia. STL symptoms show high inter- and even intrafamilial phenotypical variability. Variants in seven different collagen genes can cause STL. Autosomal dominant (AD) type 1 caused by a defect in the COL2A1 gene is the most common form of STL (80–90%); AD type 2 (involving COL11A1 gene defects) is much less common (10–20%). The third AD type and all autosomal recessive types are extremely rare. A genetically confirmed dia­gnosis of STL facilitates early treatment, prevention, and an accurate genetic risk estimation of STL in the family.
From interpolative contractive mappings to generalized Ciric-quasi contraction mappings
Authors: Roy Kushal , Panja Sayantan
Published: April 2021

In this article we consider a restricted version of Ciric-quasi contraction mapping for showing that this mapping generalizes several known interpolative type contractive mappings. Also here we introduce the concept of interpolative strictly contractive type mapping T and prove a fixed point theorem for such mapping over a T-orbitally compact metric space. Some examples are given in support of our established results. Finally we give an observation regarding (λ, α, β)-interpolative Kannan contractions introduced by Gaba et al.
Cervical Transverse Mega-apophysis: A Rare Cause of Plexopathy
Authors: Ferrer Pierre , Álvarez Ana S , Penanes Juan R
Published: April 2021

Aim

This article aims to describe the case of a 43-year-old male with a neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome caused by a C7 transverse mega-apophysis.

Background

Cervical transverse mega-apophysis, transverse apophysomegaly, or elongation of the transverse vertebral process represents a variation of normal skeletal anatomy. This variation has been little studied and its prevalence in the population is unknown because it often exists without symptoms. It is estimated that less than 10% of cases are symptomatic.

Case description

We present a rare case of a man with a neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (in this case, a left plexopathy) caused by a cervical transverse mega-apophysis. After surgical intervention, the patient improved and after a 1-year follow-up, he remained asymptomatic.

Conclusion

Even though some authors describe cervical pain associated with this condition, we found very few data regarding plexopathy or other neurological symptoms caused by a cervical transverse apophysomegaly.

Association between Sleep Spindles and IQ of College Students
Authors: Tiwari Sunita , Kanchan Shweta , Vardhan Raj , Ghidiyal Archana
Published: April 2021

Introduction

Sleep spindles are short burst-like waveform of signals generated in the electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded during sleep, and these are the electrical representation of an oscillatory neuronal activity of thalamic neurons. Some studies have linked different sleep spindle parameters with intelligence quotient (IQ). But there is a lack of uniformity in different studies, as spindle parameters may be positively associated with cognition variables in one study, but those same parameters might be negatively associated or even unrelated in other studies. The present study was conducted to further throw light on the correlation of sleep spindle activity with IQ.

Objective

To find the association between different sleep spindle parameters and IQ.

Method

The sleep spindle data of 50 healthy young medical students aged between 18 and 23 years were taken from previously conducted sleep studies (polysomnography), which were available in the sleep lab in the department of physiology (King George's Medical University). The participating students underwent a Wechsler IQ test. The result of the test was correlated with sleep spindle parameters available with us to see any correlation.

Results and conclusion

Sleep spindle frequency was negatively correlated with the IQ, and the number of spindles in deep sleep (N3) was positively associated with the IQ of an individual.

Published: April 2021

Perceptual-Motor Activities for Children: An Evidence-Based Guide to Building Physical and Cognitive Skills provides a proven blueprint for improving perceptual-motor skills—the skills that require young learners to use their brains and their bodies together to accomplish tasks. When kids improve these skills, they not only improve their coordination and increase their body awareness but they also enhance their intellectual skills and gain a more positive self-image.

This easy-to-use guide outlines a 32-week program of sequential station activities that will help pre-K and elementary school-aged children in various stages of development, particularly those who are lagging behind in their perceptual-motor skills. Developed and piloted by two educators who have refined the program since 2004, this program provides all you need to create a perceptual-motor learning laboratory for your students. The book includes:
200 station activities;evidence-based research proving the program’s effectiveness in improving physical and cognitive skills; complete instructions for creating a perceptual-motor learning laboratory in a variety of learning environments; expert guidance in developing lateral skills, balance, body image, tracking skills, spatial relations, locomotor skills, and manipulative skills.

The station activities are purposeful and can be sequenced for building a lab or used independently for targeted skill development. They are formatted as activity cards that may be posted at the stations for easy reference. The activity cards include instructions and illustrations to help you set up quickly as well as skill criteria to enable you to informally assess your students’ performances. With the activity cards handy, volunteers and even student aides can easily help with setting up and monitoring readily available activities.

Perceptual-Motor Activities for Children will help you guide children in developing lateral skills, balance, positive body image, tracking skills, spatial relations, locomotor skills, and manipulative skills. In doing so, children will improve not only their physical skills but their emotional, social, and cognitive skills as well.

Promoting Language Through Physical Education makes that task easier. This text offers strategies that physical education teachers can use to integrate non-English speakers and Deaf children in their classes. Sign language and Spanish are used as examples of how teachers can integrate students of any language background into classes. The use of sign language and Spanish phrases not only enhances communication among students and between students and teachers but promotes learning, open-mindedness, and appreciation for other cultures.

Physical education is the ideal setting for integrating other languages because play fosters language development; children interact so much with each other and have ample opportunity to express themselves in physical education. With this book, teachers can expertly guide that development—even if they don’t have a Spanish-speaking or Deaf child in their class.

Promoting Language Through Physical Education grounds teachers in the importance of language and the value of learning about other cultures. Teachers will also

• use games and strategies that help them infuse language into their daily classes;

• have access to Spanish and sign language dictionaries, with vocabulary organized by movement concepts, games, and activities; and

• use video to facilitate both their teaching and their students’ learning.

This resource includes video footage of key physical education terms and common words and phrases in Spanish and American Sign Language. Students can follow along as teachers play the footage, thus taking pressure off teachers who are not familiar with sign language or Spanish.

With this practical text, teachers can promote language development and cultural appreciation while offering developmentally appropriate games and activities for students from elementary grades through high school. The games and strategies blend into and enhance regular physical education curricula. And the book includes appendixes of resources that can augment students’ learning and ability to overcome language barriers.

There are nearly 100 lessons focusing on individual values and the contributions young people can make to others.

The book is divided into four chapters. In Chapter 1, the co-operative activity section, activities are presented that require a group effort to succeed. In Chapter 2, the self-awareness section, the emphasis is on personal attributes and awareness. In Chapter 3, the instructional strategies section, some material is teacher guided, while others are student directed.

Synthesizing corporate social responsibility concepts and its impact on building soft image for firms: A review of relevant hypotheses
Authors: Et al., Zahid A.Memon
Published: April 2021

Corporate social responsibility is a concept whereby corporations contribute voluntarily to societal well-being. Corporate social responsibility is a highly debated topic by academics, business professionals, and scholars of social sciences. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the link between corporate social responsibility concepts and firms’ soft image and suggest the limitations of extant literature on CSR. This study reviews and summarizes the existing knowledge on corporate social responsibility (CSR). Academics and practitioners used both empirical and theoretical models to understand CSR. It is not convenient and feasible to review all extant literature on CSR; hence, key studies are included (i-e mainly empirical in nature). Keywords were developed based on review questions and final selection of specific papers based on contents of abstract. The findings suggest a positive link between firm image and activity of social responsibility. CSR helps to create a soft image for the firm and for their products that open up further avenues for firms to stay in business. In addition, the review suggests reasons for inconsistent results and their possible remedies for upcoming work on the subject. Overall, the paper contributes to understanding and linking CSR with marketing. The suggestions based on review are instrumental for managers working at local and international organizations. It further guides on the importance of local/ regional and /or other traditional activities that might become part of CSR to elevate business status in different contexts.
