The Trade Specificities between Turkey and Poland
Authors: Dziwornu Michael Gameli , Rachwał Tomasz
Published: November 2019

The general consensus among policymakers and researchers is that in order to increase economic growth, it is necessary to diversify trade. The objective of this paper, therefore, is to analyse the dynamics of trade, specifically the export concentration of products between Turkey and Poland from 1995 to 2015. Despite a historically complicated relationship, these two countries have significantly strengthened economic ties and political cooperation. The last two decades in particular, have witnessed the manifestations of such close cooperation between these two countries. By measuring the export product concentration using the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI), we found higher export concentration from Turkey to Poland in the majority of products traded, in contrast to Poland’s exports to Turkey. The analysis carried out also indicates the imperative for the two countries to consolidate their existing partnership by removing trade barriers that may hinder stronger economic relation and cooperation. Furthermore, reforms are needed in both countries to closely align production structures necessary for greater and more sustained trade partnership.
Wpływ dużych firm sektora nowoczesnych usług biznesowych na innowacyjność mikro, małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw – analiza na przykładzie województwa zachodniopomorskiego

Dyskusja dotycząca roli międzynarodowych korporacji, w tym centrów usług, w regionalnych gospodarkach, choć żywa, wciąż oparta jest na szczątkowych argumentach, pomijających wiele efektów, które są związane z występowaniem centrów usług w regionalnych gospodarkach. Celem artykułu jest dodanie argumentów do tej dyskusji poprzez pokazanie efektów zewnętrznych generowanych przez centra usług, które przenikają do regionalnych gospodarek i wpływają na zachowania biznesowe małych i średnich firm. W szczególności wskazany jest wpływ centów usług na innowacyjność MMSP. Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala wnioskować, że rozwój nowoczesnych usług biznesowych ma pozytywny wpływ na akumulację wiedzy w regionie i pozwala lokalnie funkcjonującym podmiotom na czerpanie z niej. Wskazuje się, że małe firmy korzystające z wiedzy pozyskanej w ramach transferu (np. poprzez transfer ludzi) z firm sektora nowoczesnych usług biznesowych osiągają statystycznie lepsze wyniki w zakresie innowacyjności niż te, które z takiej wiedzy nie korzystają. Dotyczy to zarówno wiedzy związanej z kapitałem ludzkim, jak i z kapitałem materialnym, a znaczenie mają bezpośrednie i pośrednie kanały transferu. Analiza przeprowadzona została w oparciu o dane ilościowe pozyskane na podstawie badań wykonanych na próbie reprezentatywnej małych i średnich firm województwa zachodniopomorskiego.
Zmiany strukturalne w polskim przemyśle zbrojeniowym
Authors: Klimek Dariusz
Published: November 2019

Przedmiotem artykułu są zmiany strukturalne w przemyśle zbrojeniowym w Polsce po 1990 roku na tle przeobrażeń, jakie zachodziły w tym przemyśle na świecie, w tym w szczególności związane z konsolidacją przedsiębiorstw. Celem artykułu jest znalezienie odpowiedzi na dwa pytania dotyczące obecnej struktury polskiego przemysłu zbrojeniowego. Pierwsze pytanie to – w jakim stopniu ta struktura jest podobna do modelu koncentracji przemysłu zbrojeniowego w USA i Europie Zachodniej. Drugie – czy struktura polskiego przemysłu zbrojeniowego jest odpowiednia do odbudowy pozycji tego przemysłu na światowym rynku zbrojeniowym w warunkach stopniowego ograniczania barier protekcjonistycznych w Europie. Aby zrealizować cel artykułu, zastosowano różne metody badawcze. Podstawowa to analiza polskiej i zagranicznej literatury przedmiotu oraz niepublikowanych materiałów z byłego Ministerstwa Gospodarki. Druga to metoda jakościowa z wykorzystaniem techniki wywiadu swobodnego. Autor przeprowadził wywiady z prawie 20 szefami polskich firm zbrojeniowych w trakcie kilku targów specjalistycznych sprzętu i uzbrojenia wojskowego w 2016 i 2017 roku. Podstawowe wnioski z badań nie są optymistyczne. O ile struktura polskiego przemysłu zbrojeniowego jest w niewielkim zakresie zbliżona do rozwiązań, jakie przyjęto w USA i Europie Zachodniej, raczej bliższa jest modelowi koncentracji w narodowe struktury (holdingi i koncerny) charakterystyczne dla państw Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, o tyle sam proces koncentracji następował zbyt powoli i w sposób nieco przypadkowy. Głównym problemem jest jednak to, że tak ukształtowana struktura nie zapewnia poprawy konkurencyjności polskiego przemysłu zbrojeniowego wobec szybko nadchodzących zmian w europejskim przemyśle zbrojeniowym.
Los pronombres personales en wayunaiki
Authors: Ramírez González Rudecindo , Dieck Novial Marianne Eva
Published: November 2019

Este artículo presenta una descripción de las regularidades morfosintácticas subyacentes al sistema pronominal del wayunaiki (Arawak (Septentrional): Colombia), teniendo en cuenta los roles gramaticales de los pronombres. El análisis parte de un corpus recogido recientemente en diversos trabajos de campo. Se proponen tres paradigmas de marcas de persona: el primero consiste en 8 formas pronominales (morfemas libres) que varían en cuanto a persona (1ª, 2ª y 3ª), número (singular/plural), y en la 3ª en cuanto a género (masculino/femenino), y que se emplean para expresar el sujeto y el objeto directo, siendo principalmente la morfología verbal el factor que permite la interpretación de una de estas dos funciones gramaticales. El segundo paradigma está constituído por pronombres ligados que se prefijan 1. a nombres, en cuyo caso se expresa una relación de posesión (poseedor), y 2. a preposiciones que remiten al dativo y a diversos roles oblicuos. El tercer paradigma consiste en un conjunto de marcas de persona con función de sujeto que se prefijan al verbo transitivo. También se describe el sistema de marcas verbales que concuerdan con el sujeto en construcciones intransitivas.

There is ample evidence that a key contributor to healthy aging is social participation; thus, identifying its determinants can help to improve it. The current study aimed at assessing the relationship between social support and general self-efficacy with social participation. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 456 (male: 237, female: 219) older adults, aged 60-74 years, who were the member of community centers in Tehran, Iran, in 2016. The multi-stage cluster sampling method was employed to select the participants. Primarily, Tehran was divided into five areas (i e, North, South, East, West, and Center). Then, two community centers were randomly selected from each area. Participants with the ability to perform their daily activities independently were enrolled in the study. Participants responded to four self-report questionnaires: socio-demographic, social participation, social support, and general self-efficacy. The majority of the participants were within the age range of 62–68 years with the maximum proportion of social participation (mean ± standard deviation (SD): 37.69 ± 8.34). Findings of the current study indicated that gender, education level, reading books, newspapers, or magazines (p <0.001), living area, living arrangement, and occupational status (p<0.05) were associated with social participation. Multiple linear regression adjusted for living area, sex, and educational level showed that self-efficacy (β= .08; p<.001) and social support (β= .64; p<.001) predicted social participation. Findings showed the importance of social support and self-efficacy in social participation. Also enhancing the literacy of seniors should be given priority.

Concurrent with the misbalance of oxidizing agents and antioxidants, high blood pressure is a major physical burden condition in the current scenario. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Tumor necrosis factor-α, inhibitor improves clinical symptoms however their outcome on high blood pressure has not been investigated. We investigated the inflammatory marker TNF-α, malondialdehyde (MDA) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) in hypertensive patients. We measured randomly blood pressure using an ambulatory observe in hypertensive patients, measured systolic BP X 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP X 90 mmHg were considered hypertensive. Total 60 cases were considered in the study that involves 30 hypertensive patients and 30 normal control. Measurements of serum concentrations of TNF-α, MDA, FRAP in hypertension patients was done in both the groups. Serum TNF-α was found to be remarkably increased in study subjects as compared to normal group (r=0.32, p<0.0001*). Serum MDA was also raised in hypertensive as compared to control (r=0.99**, p<0.0001*). While Serum FRAP was found to be decreased in hypertensive group in comparison to healthy control (r=0.23, p<0.0001*). It is concluded that high blood pressure leads to generation of oxidative stress with remarkable elevation of TNF-α and malondialdehyde levels. While reduced FRAP indicates its probable role in lipid peroxidation and in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

The last decade has seen incredible advances in the genetic era, in next-generation sequencing of cell-free DNA in the maternal plasma, detecting abnormal fetal chromosomes. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has showed increased sensitivity and specificity for Down syndrome superior to any other screening test. Technical advances have made possible the detection of other conditions which does not necessarily mean clinical benefit for the patient. Private laboratories have added multiple conditions in the panel of NIPT, but some of these abnormalities are so rare, that their prevalence is not even clear. Data regarding clinical performance of extended NIPT is lacking. Implementation of such a test has to be carefully weighed, and not only the benefits but also the harm should be taken into account.

Este trabalho, de cunho ensaístico, apresenta uma releitura crítica e uma discussão sobre o texto “Digital natives, digital immigrants”, do designer de jogos norte-americano Marc Prensky, publicado em 2001 e mencionado até os dias de hoje, no contexto da pesquisa brasileira em linguística aplicada e em educação. Considera-se relevante repensar as questões ali colocadas, quase duas décadas atrás, e principalmente discutir a noção de um “fosso digital” estabelecido entre os atores que convivem nas escolas: alunos e professores. A fim de estabelecer algum contraste teórico e mesmo epistemológico sobre como pensar as questões de educação relacionadas às tecnologias digitais, recorremos a Néstor García Canclini e à proposta também mais democrática e mais contextualizada da pesquisadora Roxane Rojo.

Using Machine Learning to Estimate Concentrations of Non-Targeted Chemicals Without Analytical Standards
Authors: Abrahamsson Dimitri , Park June-Soo , Sirota Marina , Woodruff Tracey
Published: November 2019

We developed two in silico quantification methods for chemicals analyzed with capillary electrophoresis electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-MS) using machine learning - a random forest (RF) and an artificial neural network (ANN). The algorithms can be used to predict chemical concentrations based on the chemicals’ relative response factors (RRFs) and their physicochemical properties. The RF and ANN predicted the measured concentrations with a mean absolute error of 0.2 log units and a coefficient of determination (R2) of about 0.85 for the testing set.
Lithium Ion Conduction in Cathode Coating Materials from On-the-Fly Machine Learning

Published: November 2019

Cathode coatings have the potential to significantly improve the performance of solid-state lithium-ion batteries, but computationally identifying materials with suitable ionic conductivity can be challenging. We demonstrate how this problem can be resolved using on-the-fly machine learning, and we validate our approach against experimental data. Based on a screen for high electrochemical stability, low interfacial reactivity and viable lithium ion conduction, we suggest two promising coating materials Li₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃ and Li₃B₇O₁₂. Li₃B₇O₁₂ to our knowledge has not been studied as an ionic conductor and is predicted to have high interfacial stability for a variety of leading electrolyte/cathode material combinations. The workflow we present accelerates the discovery of fast-to-intermediate ionic conductors and can readily be generalized to other types of materials.
Catalytic Resonance Theory: Parallel Reaction Pathway Control

Published: November 2019

Catalytic enhancement of chemical reactions via heterogeneous materials occurs through stabilization of transition states at designed active sites, but dramatically greater rate acceleration on that same active site is achieved when the surface intermediates oscillate in binding energy. The applied oscillation amplitude and frequency can accelerate reactions orders of magnitude above the catalytic rates of static systems, provided the active site dynamics are tuned to the natural frequencies of the surface chemistry. In this work, differences in the characteristics of parallel reactions are exploited via selective application of active site dynamics (0 < ΔU < 1.0 eV amplitude, 10-6 < f < 104 Hz frequency) to control the extent of competing reactions occurring on the shared catalytic surface. Simulation of multiple parallel reaction systems with broad range of variation in chemical parameters revealed that parallel chemistries are highly tunable in selectivity between either pure product, even when specific products are not selectively produced under static conditions. Two mechanisms leading to dynamic selectivity control were identified: (i) surface thermodynamic control of one product species under strong binding conditions, or (ii) catalytic resonance of the kinetics of one reaction over the other. These dynamic parallel pathway control strategies applied to a host of chemical conditions indicate significant potential for improving the catalytic performance of many important industrial chemical reactions beyond their existing static performance.
Ab initio Molecular Dynamics of CdSe Quantum Dots Doped Glasses
Authors: Li Wenke , Zhao Xiujian , Liu Chao , Coudert François-Xavier
Published: November 2019

We have probed the local atomic structure of the interfacial structure between the CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and sodium silicate glass matrix. Using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we determined the structural properties and bond length, in excellent agreement with previous experimental observations. Based on analysis of radial distribution functions, coordination environment and ring structures, we demonstrate that huge structure reconstruction occurs at the interface between the CdSe QDs and the glass matrix. The incorporation of the CdSe QDs disrupts the Na-O bonds, while stronger SiO4 tetrahedra are reformed. The existence of the glass matrix breaks the stable 4-member (4MR) and 6-member (6MR) of Cd-Se rings, and we observe a disassociated Cd atom dissolved in the glass matrix. Besides, the formation of Se-Na and Cd-O linkages is observed at the CdSe QDs/glass interface. These results significantly extend our understanding of the interfacial structure of the CdSe QDs doped glasses, and provide physical and chemical insight into the possible defect structure origin of CdSe QDs, of interest to the fabrication of the highly luminescent CdSe QDs doped glasses.
Contrasting Arene, Alkene, Diene, and Formaldehyde Hydrogenationin H-ZSM-5, H-SSZ-13, and H-SAPO-34 Zeolite Frameworks during MTO
Authors: DeLuca Mykela , Janes Christina , Hibbitts David
Published: November 2019

Co-feeding H2 at high pressures increases zeolite catalyst lifetimes during methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reactions while maintaining high alkene-to-alkane ratios; however, the mechanisms and species hydrogenated by H2 co-feeds to prevent catalyst deactivation remain unknown. This study uses periodic density functional theory (DFT) to examine hydrogenation mechanisms of MTO product C2–C4 alkenes, as well as species related to the deactivation of MTO catalysts such as C4 and C6 dienes, benzene, and formaldehyde in H-MFI and H-CHA zeolite catalysts. Results show that dienes and formaldehyde are selectively hydrogenated in both frameworks at MTO conditions because their hydrogenation transition states proceed via allylic and oxocarbenium cations which are more stable than alkylcarbenium ions which mediate alkene hydrogenation. Diene hydrogenation is further stabilized by protonation and hydridation at α,δ positioned C-atoms to form 2-butene from butadiene and 3-hexene from hexadiene as primary hydrogenation products. This α,δ-hydrogenation directly leads to selective hydrogenation of dienes; pathways which hydrogenate dienes at the α,β-position (e.g., forming 1-butene from butadiene) proceed with barriers 20 kJ mol-1 higher than α,δ-hydrogenation and with barriers nearly equivalent to butene hydrogenation, despite α,β-hydrogenation of butadiene also occurring through allylic carbocations. Hydrogenation of formaldehyde, a diene precursor, occurs with barriers that are within 15 kJ mol-1 of diene hydrogenation barriers, indicating that it may also contribute to increasing catalyst lifetimes by preventing diene formation. Benzene, in contrast to dienes and formaldehyde, is hydrogenated with higher barriers than C2–C4 alkenes despite proceeding via stable benzenium cations because of the thermodynamic instability of the product which has lost aromaticity. Carbocation stabilities predict the relative rates of alkene hydrogenation and in some cases shed insights into the hydrogenation of benzene, dienes, and formaldehyde, but cation stabilities alone cannot account for the poor hydrogenation of benzene or the facile hydrogenation of dienes, boosted by stabilization conferred by a,δ-hydrogenation. This work suggests that the main mechanisms of catalyst lifetime improvement with high H2 co-feeds is reduction of diene concentrations through both their selective hydrogenation and hydrogenation of their precursors to prevent formation of deactivating polyaromatic species.

There exists the challenge of seeming lack of empirically determined cargo throughput benchmark models for the privatized West African port terminals particularly in Nigeria, as target benchmarks which terminal operators and port authorities must drive towards to ensure that the current improvement in port productivity experienced in the post concession era is sustained. The study was therefore aimed at developing benchmarks for the cargo throughput performances of the privatized five Nigeria ports of Apapa (Lagos), Port-Harcourt, Onne, Warri and Calabar. Such benchmarks developed for each seaport must be higher than the pre-privatization cargo throughput performances of the seaport. This became important following the improvements observed in the cargo throughput performances of the various ports from the year 2006 after the privatization of the ports and the recent recession faced in the Country which seems to have retarded the cargo throughput performances and other measures of seaport performance in the various Nigeria ports. Using Cp1, CL1, Cw1, Co1, Cc1, to represent the base year 2006 cargo throughput performances of Port-Harcourt, Lagos, Warri, Onne and Calabar seaport respectively; and n, d, to represent the number of post privatization years covered in the study and common difference in cargo throughput performances; the study used a historical design approach in which time series data on cargo throughput performances of the ports were obtained from the Nigeria ports Authority (NPA) annual statistical reports were analyzed using the converging and diverging arithmetic series mathematical modeling tool and MATLAB software, to determine benchmark models, for ensuring that the improved cargo throughput performances of the various seaports, are sustained to remain higher that the pre-privatization cargo throughput performances. The study developed the following Cargo throughput benchmark models for each seaport as findings. Lagos port = CL1 + (n – 1)d ≥ 15223340; Onne port = Co1 + (n -1)d ≥ 15820381; Port-Harcourt port = Cp1 + ( n -1)d ≥ 28016979; Warri = Cw1 + ( n-1)d ≥4643128; Calabar = Cc1 + (n-1)d ≥ 7963434. It was recommended that to improve port revenue which is a dependent factor on cargo throughput and vessel call rate, cargo throughput benchmarks model developed for the individual seaports should be used to empirically model quantum s of cargo throughput needed to economically sustain and improve the level of port operations. It should equally influence port marketing drives. This will ensure that the performance of the ports does not recede into the poor performance indices experienced in the pre-privatization era.

Tanggal Submit:28 Januari 2019 Tanggal Review:30 April 2019 Tanggal Publish Online:17 Mei 2019 Potatoes are one of the vegetables that contain substances that are important for the formation of body tissues, such as protein and fat. Potatoes also form red blood cells or hemoglobin (Ca, P and Fe). In Indonesia tend to process potatoes using only meat. The skin is removed, even though the nutritional content of the skin is five times greater than the meat. Potato peels that supply querestin, antioxidants and flavonoids that act as free radical acceptors. (Free radicals are reactive molecules that cause damage to the body that can lead to diseases such as heart disease and cancer) in the skin of potatoes found also effective antioxidants, chlorogenic acid. Potato skin is also proven to increase hemoglobin levels (Khomsan, A, 2009). However, that does not mean potato skin does not have adverse side effects, if the use is not appropriate. In order to use it optimally, you need to know enough information about the advantages and disadvantages and the possibility of abuse. However, the level of toxicity from potato skin is still unknown. Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) is one of the oxicity test methods that is widely used in tracing bioactive compounds that are toxic from natural materials. This research is an experimental research with post test-only control group design approach. Treatment with giving potato skin juice to Artemia salina Leach larvae with the aim to determine the potential of plant biological activity based on the toxicity of secondary metabolites contained in it, and at the same time as the initial screening test of anticancer activity of chemical compounds in potato skin juice. The results showed the LC50 value was at a concentration of 0.5% to 1% and based on the results of SPSS 21 analysis with probit analysis obtained LC50 price data of 0.746 gr / ml (7460 μgr / ml), based on the results of research and data analysis it can be concluded that potato skin has an LC50 value at a concentration of 0.746 gr / ml (7460 µgr / ml). With an LC50 price of more than 1000 µg / ml according to the BST method the potato skin does not have the potential for toxicity so the skin of the potato has the potential as an alternative to increasing hemoglobin levels.Keywords: potato skin, toxicity, BSlT

Authors: Mardiyah Siti
Published: November 2019

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 2012 that the prevalence of skin irritation (diaper rash) in infants was quite high at 25% due to the use of diapers. One of the causes of diaper rash is caused by low diaper absorption. Increased absorption of diaper can be done by increasing the absorbent ability of diapers to absorb baby urine. The natural absorbent that can be modified in baby diapers is coconut fiber. Cellulose content in coconut fiber has the ability to absorb liquid high enough. This potential can be applied to absorb urine and sweat so that it can reduce moisture in baby diapers. Diapers that have high absorption can prevent the occurrence of rashes in infants. This study aims to examine differences in absorbency of diapers. Without coconut fiber and coconut husk modification diapers.             This type of research is experimental. The population and sample of the study were baby diapers with a total sample of 32 which were divided into 2 groups namely baby diapers without coconut fiber and with modification of coconut fiber. Testing for diaper absorption is carried out in a laboratory manner by measuring the volume and time of absorption of fluids given to diapers to the saturation limit (leak). The data analysis technique uses the independent t-test. Based on the results of the independent t-test showed that there were significant differences in the amount of volume and time of absorption of fluids given to bunch diapers and with coconut fiber. Thus it can be concluded that there is a significant influence on the addition of coconut fiber to the absorption of fluid in baby diapers. Keywords: Diapers, Rash, Coconut Fiber.

Actual problems of origin, formation, anthropogenic transformation and disappearance modern geosystems between Western Bug, Rata and Solokiya rivers are considered. Special attention devoted to formation conditions research of Yastrubetska Delta as uncharacteristic for region of the Western Bug river valley. Based on retrospective-geographic analysis of literature and cartographic sources of the XVIII–XX centuries are traced stages of the Yastrubetska delta geosystems development and surrounding landscapes of between-river basin.
In the second part of article analyzes the large-scale (1 : 25,000) cartographic works, in particular, the Austrian maps of the Third Topographic Survey (1869–1887), the Polish maps of the Military Geographical Institute (1929–1939) and the USSR Soviet General Staff maps (1968–1989).
An overview of last three of five historical and geographical stages topographic maps made it possible to investigate and interpret conditions of Small-Polissya landscapes functioning and development in second half of XIX-th – second half of XX-th centuries. Maps of scale 1 : 50,000 – 1 : 300,000 used for clarifying geographical and landscape-ecological situation.
The main tendencies of Western Bug, Rata and Solokiya rivers interfluve landscapes transformation for the last 240 years was analyzed. The best indicator for natural conditions transformation are changes in river network, forestation and territory bogging. The analysis of cartographic materials shows that the majority of channels and distributaries of Western Bug and its tributaries, especially within limits of Yastrubetska Delta and a significant reduction of forested areas and wetlands.

The channels of river of Lviv: transformation during historical epoch and modern stage
Authors: Bayrak Galyna
Published: November 2019

The changes in rivers during the 200-years-old history of the development of Lviv and their modern conditions became the object of our researches. It has been found that the transformation of superficial channels to the underground ones began in 1880, and the biggest changes took place in the 1920s and 1970s. Channels were transformed also into the meliorative and drain channels. As of 2016 there is only 18,3 km of Lviv channels left in the natural state in comparison to 82,9 km of general length. 42,1 km of channels were closed underground, and 22,5 km were transformed into meliorative channels. The length of new-created anthropogenic channels is 46,6 km. Natural channels flow through the dismembered hilly upland and are in the green belt lands of the city. In the case of their saving and cultivation, it is possible to create new recreational areas for inhabitants of the city nearby them.
Key words: changes in river channels, natural channels, underground anthropogenic channels, superficial anthropogenic channels, meliorative channels, Lviv rivers.
El otro lado de la filosofía de la biología: una problematización de lo epistemológico como límite disciplinar
Authors: Suárez Ruíz E. Joaquín
Published: November 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es problematizar el supuesto de que la filosofía de la biología constituye una disciplina limitada al análisis epistemológico. Para ello se profundizará en las características de un tipo de análisis paralelo, llevado a cabo por cada vez más filósofos de la biología: aquel que toma los conocimientos biológicos como punto de partida para analizar problemas filosóficos, denominado aquí como “análisis epistémico”. A lo largo de este desarrollo se contemplarán los paralelos gnoseológicos de estos dos tipos de análisis, y se los pondrá en relación con las críticas al supuesto filosófico de una excepcionalidad humana, realizadas por el filósofo francés Jean-Marie Schaeffer.
The analysis of mesophytic broad-leaved forest associations in the center of European Russia
Authors: Zaugolnova L. B. , Braslavskaya T. Yu.
Published: November 2019

The comparative analysis of floristic composition of the Russian Plain center broad-leaved forests of the alliance Carpinion betuli Issler 1931 em. Meyer 1937 was carried out by means of detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and direct ordination along ecological factor scales. The three associations representing the proper zonal units of the area, namely Querco-Tilietum cordatae Laivinš 1983 in the hemiboreal forest zone, Aceri campestris—Tilietum cordatae ass. nov. hoc loco in the broad-leaved forest zone, and Aceri campestris—Quercetum roboris Bulokhov et Solomeshch 1991 in the forest-steppe zone are characterized. Although all the forest stands described are small geographically isolated fragments, their floristic composition demonstrates the existence of syntaxonomic continuum and seems to be influenced by landscape features and anthropogenic disturbance just as strong as by zonal climatic factors. As a result of the undertaken analysis, the syntaxonomical revision of the Central-Russian broad-leaved forests of the alliance Carpinion betuli Issler 1931 em. Meyer 1937 is proposed.

Cultural Values Influence Mental-Health Help-Seeking in Asian and Latinx College Students
Authors: Zhou Elayne , Kyeong Yena , Cheung Cecilia , Michalska;Michalska Kalina
Published: November 2019

The current study examined the influence of cultural values on mental health attitudes and help-seeking behaviors in college students of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Asian and Latinx college students (N = 159) completed an online survey in which they reported their adherence to cultural values and general attitudes towards mental health and help-seeking behavior. Factor analysis revealed two common factors of cultural values irrespective of ethnic background: Interdependent Orientation (IO) and Cultural Obligation (CO). Regardless of ethnicity, the more students endorsed IO values, the less likely they were to perceive a need for mental health treatment. IO value adherence also predicted more negative attitudes towards mental health. CO values were not predictive of perceived need or help-seeking behaviors. Findings highlight the importance of assessing certain cultural values independently from ethnicity and considering how the multidimensionality of culture may help explain shared mental health behaviors across ethnic group membership.
Age-Related Changes in Everyday Forms of Involuntary and Voluntary Cognition
Authors: Floridou Georgia A. , Halpern Andrea , Williamson Victoria
Published: November 2019

A growing body of evidence suggests that the reported frequency of certain everyday involuntary and voluntary forms of cognition decreases as people get older. Research in this field has focused on mind-wandering and autobiographical memory, typically exploring them independently of each other; future thinking, semantic memory, and musical imagery remained largely unexplored. Furthermore, the findings about contributing factors to age-related frequency changes remain inconclusive, whereas phenomenological characteristics such as vividness and affective valence have been overlooked. Our study investigates, for the first time, the relation between chronological age and simultaneously the frequency and phenomenological characteristics of involuntary and voluntary mind-wandering, autobiographical memory, future thinking, semantic memory, and musical imagery. In addition, we explore attentional control and confidence ratings as factors that could explain age-related frequency changes in involuntary and voluntary forms of cognition. A sample of 675 individuals, ranging in age from 18 to 90 years, completed an online questionnaire about the characteristics of their involuntary and voluntary forms of cognition, as well as measures of reported attentional control, and confidence in their responses. Our findings point to an age-related decrease in reported frequency for all forms of involuntary and voluntary cognition, which could not be accounted by attentional control or confidence ratings. Vividness and affective valence of involuntary and voluntary cognition forms were associated differentially with age. We discuss the findings in relation to theories of cognitive aging and socioemotional development and their implications for involuntary and voluntary cognition research.
A Terra é Plana (p<0,05): Aprimorando as Inferências Estatísticas em Psicologia
Authors: Costa Caio
Published: November 2019

The low rate of replication of studies in science and specifically in psychology has created a crisis of replicability. It is pointed out in the literature that problems of methodological orders and interpretation of data in scientific research make the results of scientific investigations unreliable. To address these problems, methodological and statistical parameters can be adjusted so that our results provide consistent and more reliable information. Thus, we highlight two types of errors that may occur in the execution of the hypothesis testing that are fundamental in the construction of a cumulative science, Type I Error and Type II Error in addition to possible approaches to reduce the probability of committing such errors.
The Levels and Trends in Deep and Extreme Poverty in the U.S., 1993-2016
Authors: Brady David , Parolin Zachary
Published: November 2019

Recently, there has been tremendous interest in deep and extreme poverty in the U.S. We advance beyond prior research by using higher-quality data, improving measurement, and following leading standards in international income research. We estimate deep (measured as less than 20% of medians) and extreme (measured as less than 10% of medians) poverty in the U.S. from 1993-2016. Using the Current Population Survey, we match the income definition of the Luxembourg Income Study and adjust for underreporting using Urban Institute’s TRIM3 model. In 2016, we estimate 5.2 to 7.2 million Americans (1.6-2.2%) were deeply poor and 2.6 to 3.7 million (.8-1.2%) were extremely poor. While deep and extreme poverty fluctuated over time, including declines from 1993-1995 and 2007-2010, we find significant increases from lows in 1995 to peaks in 2016 in both deep (increases of 48-93%) and extreme poverty (increases of 54-111%). We even find significant increases with thresholds anchored at 1993 medians. Adding homelessness, deep poverty would be 7-8% higher and extreme poverty would be 19-23% higher in 2016, which suggests our estimates are probably lower-bounds. The rise of deep/extreme poverty is concentrated among childless households. Among households with children, the expansion of SNAP benefits has led to declines in deep/extreme poverty. Ultimately, we demonstrate that estimates of deep/extreme poverty depend critically on the quality of income measurement.
