Published: July 2022

Given the negative impact reliance on misinformation can have on individuals and society, substantial effort has gone into understanding the factors that influence misinformation belief and propagation. However, despite the rise of social media often being cited as a fundamental driver of misinformation exposure and false beliefs, how people process (mis)information on social-media platforms has been under-investigated. This is partially due to a lack of adaptable and ecologically valid social-media testing paradigms, resulting in an overreliance on survey software and questionnaire-based measures. To provide researchers with a flexible tool to investigate the processing and sharing of (mis)information on social media, this paper presents The Misinformation Game—an easily adaptable, open-source online testing platform that simulates key characteristics of social media. Researchers can customize posts (e.g., headlines, images), source information (e.g., handles, avatars, credibility), and engagement information (e.g., a post’s number of likes and dislikes). The platform allows a range of response options for participants (like, share, dislike, flag) and supports comments. Further, the simulator can provide customized dynamic feedback to participants, via changes to a participant’s follower count and credibility score, based on how they interact with each post. Notably, no specific programming skills are required to use the simulator. Here we outline the key features of the simulator and provide a non-technical guide for use by researchers, including instructions for integrating the simulator into the online survey platform Qualtrics. We also present results from two validation studies. All source code and instructions are freely available online at https://themisinformationgame.github.io/.

Differences in attitudes on social issues such as abortion, immigration, and sex are hugely divisive, and understanding their origins is among the most important tasks facing human behavioural sciences. Despite the clear psychological importance of parenthood and the motivation to provide care for children, researchers have only recently begun investigating their influence on social and political attitudes. Because socially conservative values ostensibly prioritize safety, stability, and family values, we hypothesized that being more invested in parental care might make socially conservative policies more appealing. Studies 1 (pre-registered; n=376) and 2 (n=1,913) find novel evidence of conditional experimental effects of a parenthood prime, such that people who engaged strongly with a childcare manipulation showed an increase in social conservatism. Study 2 also finds evidence that this effect is mediated by increases in parental care motivation. Study 3 (n=2,610, novel data from 10 countries) and 4 (n=426,444, World Values Survey data) find evidence that both parenthood and parental care motivation are associated with increased social conservatism around the globe. Further, most of the positive association globally between age and social conservatism is accounted for by parenthood. These findings support the hypothesis that parenthood and parental care motivation increase social conservatism.
The Restrain Food Database: Validation of an open-source database of foods that should be eaten more or less as part of a healthy diet

Published: July 2022

Studies of food-related behaviours often involve measuring responses to pictorial stimuli of foods. Creating these can be burdensome, requiring a significant commitment of time, and with sharing of images for future research constrained by legal copyright restrictions. The Restrain Food Database is an open-source database of 626 images of foods that are categorised as those people could eat more or less of as part of a healthy diet. This paper describes the database and details how to navigate it using our purpose-built R-shiny tool and a pre-registered online validation of a sample of images. 2150 participants provided appetitive ratings, perceptions of nutritional content, and ratings of image quality for images from the database. We found support for differences between Food Category on appetitive ratings which were also moderated by state hunger ratings. Findings relating to individual differences in appetite ratings as well as differences between BMI weight categories are also reported. Our findings validate the food categorisation in the Restrain Food Database and provide descriptive information for individual images within this investigation. This database should ease the burden of selecting and creating appropriate images for future studies.
A culture of borrowing: Iconography, ideology and idiom in Kari-gurashi no Arietti/The Secret World of Arrietty
Authors: Hyland Robert
Published: July 2022

Japanese director and producer of animated film, Miyazaki Hayao had long wanted to make an adaptation of the Mary Norton novel, The Borrowers (1952). The film Kari-gurashi no Arietti/The Secret World of Arrietty (Yonebayashi, 2010) at first look strikes one as a suitable fit for Studio Ghibli both culturally and ideologically, with its history of setting stories in imagined European landscapes and its established style of blending fantastic and realist narrative with imagistic elements, and indeed, Japan is itself not without legends of miniature people or Chibi Kobito. The film, however, manifests myriad ambivalences, many of which are derived from the limitations and contradictions inherent in adapting a geographically, historically and culturally ‘foreign’ text. The film as text occupies a liminal space, straddling the expanse between the author Mary Norton’s ideological context of late imperialism, and that of present day Japan in an era of what Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri (2000), in their work Empire, refer to as an era of post-Fordian globalization: an era characterized by global awareness and cultural sensitivity. This article examines the Studio Ghibli animated film adaptation of Mary Norton’s The Borrowers as a liminal text, uneasily straddling the boundaries between the ideologies inherent in the context of its twenty-first-century production and at the same time, inevitably pervaded by the cultural context of its nineteenth- and twentieth-century antecedents.
Climate Exposures and Household Dynamics in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Piringer Niklas , Vardanega Gabrielle , Thiede Brian C.
Published: July 2022

Climatic variability has been linked to multiple demographic and health outcomes, but few studies have examined its impact on household size. Household size is an important correlate of wellbeing and is driven by multiple demographic processes that may be affected by environmental shocks. This paper describes these links conceptually, and then empirically examines the effects of exposure to climate anomalies on household size and three underlying components: fertility, marriage, and family agglomeration (partition). We examine these relationships by linking harmonized census microdata from eleven sub-Saharan African countries with high-resolution climate data from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and modeling the effects of recent temperature and precipitation exposures on the outcomes of interest. Our analyses find little evidence that recent temperature and precipitation exposures lead to overall changes in household size. When examining underlying demographic dynamics, however, we find that family agglomeration responds to both temperature and rainfall, marriage responds to rainfall and cold shocks, and higher temperatures are associated with increases in fertility. By studying these outcomes in one unified conceptual and empirical framework, our results suggest that many components of household size are associated with climate exposures, but in a manner that does not translate into significant net changes in household size.
The Very Temporary Effect of Covid-19 on English Fertility
Authors: Ermisch John
Published: July 2022

This note reports estimates of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on English fertility. It uses monthly data on the General Fertility Rate (GFR) over the period 2011-2021 to estimate dynamic models of the GFR, some of which include measures of men’s and women's unemployment rates. The models are used to generate monthly counterfactual fertility during 2020-21 from which the impact of the pandemic is inferred. The Covid pandemic had a very short-term depressing impact on fertility. It reduced conceptions sharply during the first wave of the pandemic (April 2020), affecting fertility in January 2021, but this was fully compensated for by a higher fertility during the last 10 months of 2021. It also appears that changes in unemployment rates played little role in these pandemic-related fertility movements.
Abstract Paintings and Nepali Context
Authors: Subedi Abhi
Published: July 2022

Abstract art as discussed in this essay covers a period of time that spans about sixty years. The introduction of the abstract art in Nepal marks a certain opening in both art education and practice among the artists. The initial challenge of the abstract art was to make it a familiar subject both among the art lovers as well as among those who respected art but were not able to appreciate it fully. A challenging period came when artists began to work towards making abstract art an acceptable and a very useful artistic practice. The tension between skill of the artists and the indifference of the public is a universal problem. But now the gap is being narrowed down everywhere. The concept of abstract art in Nepal comes from education in schools in Europe and India in the initial phase and later in Nepal itself where art pedagogy became a norm in different art schools and colleges. But artists freely made their paintings abstractas the commonly accepted mode of art. Artists of different generations execute abstract paintings without being critical or interpretative about it. But now things are changing in Nepal. New generation artists who are oriented to the abstract and free forms of art are working to develop a system by putting together the art education, practice and very importantly, the level of public acceptance for that. We should carefully review the history and the present status of that. We should also make the art works 'desirable'. The other important character of Nepali abstract painting is that the artists always work in the contact zones of the representational and the expressionist features. I have interpreted that meeting point as a contact zone. This article attempts to give examples of that dynamic process. Nepali abstract paintings mark a new mode of artistic dynamism in Nepal.
The Practice of Maṇḍala Art during Tihāra by Newars

Published: July 2022

Tihāra is celebrated on Aswin krishna paksha trayōdaśī, caturdaśī, and Ashwin krishna aum̐ sī, Kartik śukla paksha pratipadā and dvitīyā by all the ethnic groups of Nepal. Even though Tihāra is known as Yamapañcaka, the Newars call it Swonti Nakha:. Although it is celebrated for five days, the three days – Lakṣmīpūjā, Mhapūjā, and kijāpūjā are celebrated as the main days by the Newar community. During these days, jalamaṇḍala, pōtāymaṇḍala, red powdermaṇḍala, tāymandala, pōtāymaṇḍala, new paddymaṇḍala, black soybeanmaṇḍala, gēdāmāsamaṇḍala, ākhēyamaṇḍala, and the dot oilmaṇḍala are placed at the center, and the eight-petal lotus is placed out of the maṇḍalas. The maṇḍalas and the different items used in Swonti nakha: represent five elements. Buddhists consider a maṇḍala as Saṅghamaṇḍala whereas the Hindus believe that a mandala symbolizes various deities. Although the maṇḍala is made for the purpose of worshiping, no uniformity is seen in its features. As the worshipping is done, a spouse of the patriarch sweeps mandalas by a groom from the top to the bottom which is left that night as it is, and immersed its remains in a holy river the next morning.

The Effect of Pharmacological Pupil Dilation on Intraocular Lens Power Calculation in Patients Indicated for Cataract Surgery
Authors: Autrata Daniel , Chrapek Oldřich , Drahorád Stanislav
Published: July 2022

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of pupil dilation on ocular parameters measured by optical biometry and the influence of pupil dilation on intraocular lens (PC IOL) power calculation by using the third-generation (SRK/T) and the fourth-generation (Haigis) formula.

Methods: 40 eyes of patients indicated for cataract surgery were included in this study. Each patient was examined by optical biometer firstly without artificial mydriasis (AM) and then after AM, which was achieved using local application of short-term acting mydriatics. Biometric data were measured by Lenstar LS 900 optical biometer, we recorded axial length of the eye (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT) and corneal astigmatism and optical power of cornea. These data we measured were used for calculation of the PC IOL optical power using both the SRK/T and the Haigis formula. The target postoperative refraction was set to emmetropia. Statistical analysis was performed for evaluation of influence of AM on each ocular parameter and influence of AM on the recommended PC IOL power calculated by the SRK/T and the Haigis formula.

Results: No statistically significant effect of AM on AL, LT and keratometry was demonstrated. On the contrary we demonstrated significant effect on CCT and ACD. No effect of AM on the PC IOL power calculation using the SRK/T formula was proved – the PC IOL optical power before AM and after AM did not differ in any case. When using the Haigis formula for the PC IOL power calculation, the recommended optical power of the PC IOL changed by +0.5 Dpt in 9 eyes, i.e., 22.5 % of the whole group, but statistical analysis did not show this change as statistically significant.

Conclusion: Pharmacological dilation of the pupil significantly affects some intraocular parameters measured by optical biometer and in the case of using the Haigis formula it can influence recommended power of the PC IOL. Conversely, when using the SRK/T formula, pharmacological dilation of pupil does not affect the recommended PC IOL power.
Endothelial cell loss after pars plana vitrectomy

Aims: To analyse the changes in endothelial cell density (ECD) after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and to identify the factors implicated.

Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, consecutive, and non-randomised, case-control study. All 23-gauge vitrectomies were performed by a single surgeon at a tertiary centre. ECD was measured at baseline before surgery and on postoperative Days 30, 90, and 180. The fellow eye was used as the control eye. The primary outcome was a change in ECD after PPV.

Results: Seventeen patients were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 65 years. The mean ECD count at baseline was 2340 cells/mm2.
The median ECD loss in the vitrectomised eye was 3.6%, 4.0%, and 4.7% at Days 30, 90, and 180, respectively, compared to +1.94%, +0.75%, +1.01%, respectively, in the control eye. The relative risk of ECD loss after PPV was 2.48 (C.I. 1.05–5.85, p = 0.0247). The pseudophakic eyes lost more ECD than the phakic eyes, but this was not statistically significant. There were no significant differences in diagnosis, age, surgical time, or tamponade used after surgery.

Conclusions: Routine pars plana vitrectomy had an impact on the corneal endothelial cells until Day 180 post-op. The phakic status was slightly protective against ECD loss after PPV, although it was not statistically significant. The pathophysiology of corneal cell damage after routine PPV remains unclear. Further studies are required to confirm these findings.
