Out of sight—evoking senses for tertiary students’ wellbeing.
Authors:   , Radha Krishnan Mohesh Babu
Published: June 2022

Mental health concerns are evident among tertiary students in New Zealand. However, some tertiary learning institutions seldom notice the crucial role to design environmental abilities to enhance such well-being. Research says that the human body defines or recognises spaces through the stimulation of senses. It intends to seamlessly grasp the environment as an overall atmosphere, ambience, feeling, or mood. Therefore, the role of the senses is vital for humans to engage better in the environment.

The atmospherical experience of a space is often judged only by its visual quality. However, the environmental character is comprised of the multisensory engagement of the users. This multisensory engagement includes all the Aristotelian senses- seeing, smelling, hearing, touching, and tasting. The senses in an architectural realm can create room for mood, emotions, well-being, productivity, and even creativity for the users. This research explores the importance of providing a well-being initiative in a built environment to support sound mental health for the students. It focuses on how architecture and design can support well-being around institutional grounds.

The research aims to understand the impact that senses, light and nature have on architecture to achieve such holistic well-being for users. Qualitative research methods, including content analysis, literature review, and intuitive spatial explorations, are used to understand the role of an individual’s experience in a built environment. The research explores constructive approaches to designing a wellness environment for students through understanding the various atmospheres and affect. The implications are to provide recommendations for the architects to include such affective associations as a campus-wide well-being effort in the future.

Introduction: With the evolution of healthcare needs for the community and the changing trends in medical education in the 21st century, medical educators need to be prepared for their tasks in the coming decades. Medical educator training is crucial but other factors can also affect the development of their competency. This study aims to measure the impact of the medical educators’ training course and find out the key challenges encountered by the medical educators in Myanmar. Methods: A retrospective quantitative design was conducted on 45 respondents by four levels of Kirkpatrick’s model assessment consisting of 39 statements and 9 items of key challenges, using five-point Likert scale. The item scores were analysed as mean and standard deviation, ‘t’ test and ANOVA were used for relationship between impact of training and demographic background. Results: There was significant association between the impact of training and the educational background (p=0.03), job position (p=0.02), and academic year attended (p=0.03). The respondents distinctly agreed that the training increased their knowledge and attitudes and that they could apply the learnt lessons practically in their workplace (minimum 3.750.60 and maximum 4.280.50). Regarding the key challenges, respondents viewed that their institution needed to support more scholarship opportunities and academic recognition; encourage networking and strengthen ICT-based medical education system (minimum 2.550.84 – maximum 4.170.71). Conclusion: This study indicates that enhancing the competency of medical educators with medical educator training programs is effective and useful; but inadequacy of institutional support for faculty development and internet facilities posed challenges in the overall faculty development.

Bibit bermutu sangat diperlukan untuk meningkatkan keberhasilan kegiatan reklamasi dan rehabilitasi lahan. Bibit bermutu adalah bibit yang dinilai unggul secara genetik, fisik dan fisiologis sehingga mampu beradaptasi dalam lingkungan yang kritis.  Bibit dikatakan bermutu apabila memiliki pertumbuhan yang normal, berbatang lurus, sehat serta bebas dari hama dan penyakit. Salah satu cara untuk menyediakan bibit bermutu adalah dengan membangun pesemaian seperti yang ada pada PT Natarang Mining. Namun, bibit yang dihasilkan oleh pesemaian ini masih bermutu rendah karena banyak terserang hama dan penyakit. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan identifikasi hama dan penyakit yang ada beserta teknik pengendaliannya di pesemaian PT Natarang Mining. Pengambilan data dilakukan secara random sampling dengan intensitas sampling sebesar 10% sehingga sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 1.210 bibit tanaman hutan. Kemudian dilakukan pengamatan pada bagian bibit tanaman hutan untuk melihat ada tidaknya cacat yang disebabkan oleh serangan hama dan penyakit. Dari pengamatan yang dilakukan diketahui bahwa hama dan penyakit yang menyerang bibit tanaman hutan di pesemaian PT Natarang Mining didominasi oleh hama siput (26%) dan penyakit bercak daun (16%). Hama dan penyakit tersebut dapat ditanggulangi dengan beberapa cara diantaranya adalah dengan menerapkan kegiatan penjarangan serta dengan penggunaan insektisida dan fungisida nabati seperti esktrak bawang putih, daun mimba dan lain-lain. Pengendalian hama dan penyakit juga dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan  bahan kimia seperti fungisida berbahan aktif benomil dan berbahan aktif belerang.

On the Threshold: Impacts of Barely Passing High-School Exit Exams on Post-Secondary Enrollment and Completion
Authors: Papay John P. , Mantil Ann , Murnane Richard J.
Published: June 2022

Many states use high-school exit examinations to assess students’ career and college readiness in core subjects. We find meaningful consequences of barely passing the mathematics examination in Massachusetts, as opposed to just failing it. However, these impacts operate at different educational attainment margins for low-income and higher-income students. As in previous work, we find that barely passing increases the probability of graduating from high school for low-income (particularly urban low-income) students, but not for higher-income students. However, this pattern is reversed for 4-year college graduation. For higher-income students only, just passing the examination increases the probability of completing a 4-year college degree by 2.1 percentage points, a sizable effect given that only 13% of these students near the cutoff graduate.

Peran penting sosok seorang guru dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikanmenjadi hal paling utama,sehingga sosok seorang guru yang di tuntut untukmenjadi media yang mampu menciptakan suasana pembelajaran menjad imenyenangkan.Supaya terciptanya suasanya yang menyenangkan maka guruharus melakukan pengelolaan kelas yang sangat baik.Di dalam pengelolaan kelasguru yang memiliki keterampilan yang tinggi akan menciptakan pemeblajaran yang optimal atau kondusif supaya peserta didik merasakan suasanya nyaman saat melaksanakan kegiatan pembelajaran di dalam kelas.Kegiatan belajar mengajar adalah sesuatu yang dalam bentuk penyelenggaraan pendidikan yang dipadupadankan secara sistematis dan berkesinambungan kegiatan ini pula di lakukan di dalam lingkungan sekolah dengan kegiatan yang dilakukan di dalam sekolah dengan bentuk kegiatan pendidikan yang di lakukan di luar lingkungan sekolah dalam hal wujud penyediaan berbagai pengalaman belajar untuk semuapeserta didik.Selama pelaksanan Kegiatan Belajar Mengajar (KBM) guru belum sepenuhnya memenuhi seluruh potensi yang ada pada dirinya sehingga sebagian besar siswa belum mampu mencapai kompetensi individual yang pergunakan untuk siswa mengikuti pemebelajaran berkelanjutan.
Once Highly Productive, Forever Highly Productive? Full Professors’ Research Productivity from a Longitudinal Perspective
Authors: Kwiek Marek , Roszka Wojciech
Published: June 2022

This longitudinal study explores persistence in research productivity over time. We examine the trajectories of the academic careers of 2,326 current full professors in 14 STEMM disciplines, studying their lifetime biographical histories and publication histories. Every full professor is compared in terms of productivity classes (top, middle, bottom) with their peers at earlier career stages. We used prestige-normalized productivity in which more weight is given to articles in high-impact than in low-impact journals, recognizing the highly stratified nature of academic science. Our results show that membership in top productivity classes is to a large extent determined by being in these classes earlier. Half of the current top productive full professors belonged to top productivity classes throughout their academic careers. Half of the top productive assistant professors continued as top productive associate professors, and half of the top productive associate professors continued as top productive full professors (52.6% and 50.8%). Top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top transitions in productivity classes occurred marginally. The combination of biographical and demographic data with raw Scopus publication data from the past 50 years (N=1 million) made it possible to assign all full professors retrospective to different productivity, promotion age, and promotion speed classes. In logistic regression models, two powerful predictors of belonging to the top productivity class for full professors were being highly productive as assistant professors and as associate professors (increasing the odds by 180% and 360%). Neither gender nor age (biological or academic) emerged as statistically significant. Hiring both low-productivity and high-productivity scientists may have long-standing consequences for institutions and the national science system: after entering the system and achieving job stability, scientists in Poland (where attrition is low) usually remain in the system for years, if not decades.
Keeping track of language: Can monolingual and bilingual infants associate a speaker with the language they speak?

Bilingual infants acquire languages in a variety of language environments. Some caregivers follow a one-person-one-language approach in an attempt to not ‘confuse’ their child. However, the central assumption that infants can keep track of what language a person speaks has not been tested. In two studies, we tested whether bilingual and monolingual 5-, 12- and 18-month-olds spontaneously form language-person associations. In both studies, infants were familiarized to a man and a woman, each speaking a different language, and tested on trials where they either spoke the same language or switched to a different language. In Study 1, infants only heard the speaker, and in Study 2 infants saw and heard the speaker. Bilinguals and monolinguals did not look longer to Switch compared to Same trials; there was no evidence in this task that infants form person-language associations spontaneously. Thus, our results did not support a central assumption of the one-person-one-language approach, although we cannot rule out that infants do form this association in more naturalistic contexts.
Developing an Understanding of the Relationship Between Anxiety and Dissociation in Adolescence

Published: June 2022

Anxiety is a common problem in adolescence and is hypothesised to be associated with dissociation, a range of distressing symptoms associated with reduced psychosocial functioning and increased clinical complexity. Yet, to date, research into the mechanisms of dissociation in adolescents has been limited. The present study investigated the link between trait anxiety and dissociative experiences (depersonalisation and ‘felt sense of anomaly’) using an online survey. Cognitive appraisals of dissociation, perseverative thinking, and body vigilance were assessed as potential mediating factors of this relationship. 1211 adolescents aged 13-18 years were recruited via social media advertisements and local schools. Linear regression showed a moderate positive relationship between trait anxiety and both dissociation constructs. Hierarchical regression indicated that cognitive appraisals of dissociation and perseverative thinking mediated the relationship between trait anxiety and both dissociation constructs, but body vigilance only mediated the relationship for depersonalisation. The final models accounted for 56.9% of variance in depersonalisation and 68.5% of variance in felt sense of anomaly. These results support the hypothesis that dissociation is associated with anxiety in adolescence. Importantly for future work in this field, they also demonstrate that dissociation constructs are separable, and that cognitive-behavioural conceptualisations may be valid for understanding dissociation in adolescence.
Replication of Newport and Aslin (2004) ‘Learning at a distance I. Statistical learning of non-adjacent dependencies.’ Experiment 3

As part of an ongoing project to replicate major findings regarding statistical word segmentation in adults, we replicated Experiment 3 in Newport and Aslin (2004) ‘Learning at a distance I. Statistical learning of non-adjacent dependencies.’ This experiment had reported successful learning of non-adjacent dependencies between segments. We replicate this finding.

Context: Socioeconomic status (SES) is increasingly understood to be a key contributor to sleep health, but the research in childhood has not been synthesized.Objective: To examine the associations between indicators of child SES and child sleep (≤18 years old), we conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses. Data Sources: CINAHL with Full Text, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE/PubMed were searched using terms to define SES and childhood to ascertain all relevant, peer-reviewed articles from database inception to 27 December 2019.Study Selection: Studies were included if an association between an indicator of parental SES and a measure of child sleep (duration, quality, and problems) was reported. Data Extraction: Data was extracted from 46 studies (N=72,915). Across these studies, total sample size across participants included in the meta-estimate was N=69,373. Results: Higher parental education was associated with longer childhood sleep duration (stronger in samples with a higher proportion of White children) and better sleep quality. Parental education was not directly associated with child sleep problems; moderation occurred by continent and the relationship was more pronounced in the Asian meta-estimate. Higher household income was not directly associated with longer childhood sleep duration, but moderation occurred by higher quality studies and the proportion of White children in the sample. Higher household income was associated with fewer sleep problems (moderated by continent) and higher sleep quality. Limitations: This review was limited by the number and methods of available published studies meeting inclusion criteria.Conclusions: Preventative programs that emphasize improvements in sleep of children and adolescents growing up in lower SES families are needed.
Evaluating pre-trial programs using machine learning matching algorithms

Published: June 2022

Objectives: When someone is arrested and charged with a crime, they may be released on bail or required to participate in a community supervision program while awaiting trial. These ‘pre-trial programs’ are common throughout the United States, but very little research has demonstrated their effectiveness. Researchers have qualified these findings by emphasizing the need for more rigorous program evaluation methods, which we introduce in this article. Here, we (1) describe a program evaluation pipeline that uses novel state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, and (2) demonstrate these techniques on a casestudy of a pre-trial program in Durham, North Carolina.Methods: We used a quasi-experimental design that compared people who took part in the program to those who did not take part in the program and were instead released back into the community while awaiting trial. We tested whether the program significantly reduced the probability of new criminal charges using new and old evaluation techniques.Results: We found no evidence that the program either significantly increased or decreased the probability of new criminal charges.Conclusions: If these findings replicate, the criminal-legal system needs to either improve these pre-trial programs or consider alternatives to them. The simplest option is to release low-risk individuals back into the community without subjecting them to any restrictions or conditions. Another option is to assign individuals to pre-trial programs that incentivize pro-social behavior. Before making these changes however, more rigorous program evaluation is needed. We believe the techniques introduced here can provide researchers the rigorous tools they need to do that.
Demystifying Morgellons Disease
Authors:   University of the People, Pasadena, CA 91101, United States, Grimm Jase A
Published: June 2022

Morgellons disease is an understudied complex of physical and psychological symptoms that requires further research because medical authorities have diagnosed and treated patients’ symptoms as delusional. In contrast, other studies have demonstrated a connection between the hallmark subcutaneous fibers and spirochetal infection. The literature includes case reports of Morgellons treated as delusional infestation with antipsychotic drugs to a certain degree of success, reinforcing the thesis of Morgellons as a purely psychological disease but not addressing the etiology of the somatic symptoms. An under-designed CDC study has similarly concluded that no single joint infectious agent exists in Morgellons disease patients. However, other small sample size case reports identified a common microorganism, Borrelia, and concluded it could cause symptoms as a single species of a more extensive polymicrobial infection. Much literature exists discussing the difficulty in diagnosing polymicrobial infections and the role that they may play in neurodegenerative diseases. This literature review aims to find common ground between these seemingly opposing schools of thought by demonstrating that their findings are not mutually exclusive. The efficacy of antipsychotic drugs does not exclude the possibility of Morgellons having organic pathophysiology. Similarly, studies demonstrating a lack of a single common microorganism in Morgellons patients do not prove that Morgellons disease is not infectious in origin. Establishing that these theories coexist is the aim of this review and demonstrating that further studies, case reports, and clinical trials are necessary to develop a common diagnosis and effective treatments.
