Authors: Tubez François , Forthomme Bénédicte , Croisier Jean-Louis , Brüls Olivier , Denoël Vincent , Paulus Julien , Schwartz Cédric
Published: April 2019

To meet the demand of a player’s entourage (e.g., coaches and medical staff), it is important for the biomechanics specialist to perform repeatable measures. To the best of our knowledge, to date, it has not been demonstrated whether similar results are obtained between two sessions of testing or between laboratory and field sport kinematic protocols with regard to the tennis serve. This study had two primary aims. First, the inter-session repeatability of biomechanical variables of a tennis serve was evaluated. Second, the differences between laboratory and field evaluations were studied. Thirteen national tennis players (ITN 3) performed the same 28 markers’ set laboratory test twice two weeks apart, and other thirteen national players (ITN 3) performed two 4 markers’ set tests both in the laboratory and on an official tennis court one week apart. A 3D motion system was used to measure lower-limb, pelvis, trunk, dominant arm and racket kinematics. A force plate was used to evaluate kinetics of legs’ drive in the laboratory. A personal method based on a point scoring system was developed to evaluate the ball landing location accuracy. We observed that the majority of the studied variables were acceptable for excellent relative reliability for the inter-session analysis. We also showed that the impact of the laboratory versus field context on the player’s serve was limited
Shorter but More Frequent Rest Periods: No Effect on Velocity and Power Compared to Traditional Sets not Performed to Failure
Authors: Jukic Ivan , Tufano James J.
Published: April 2019

Performing traditional sets to failure is fatiguing, but redistributing total rest time to create short frequent sets lessens the fatigue. Since performing traditional sets to failure is not always warranted, we compared the effects of not-to-failure traditional sets and rest redistribution during free-weight back squats in twenty-six strength-trained men (28 ± 5.44 y; 84.6 ± 10.5 kg, 1RM-to-body-mass ratio of 1.82 ± 0.33). They performed three sets of ten repetitions with 4 min inter-set rest (TS) and five sets of six repetitions with 2 min inter-set rest (RR6) at 70% of one repetition maximum. Mean velocity (p > 0.05; d = 0.10 (-0.35, 0.56)) and mean power (p > 0.05; d = 0.19 (-0.27, 0.64)) were not different between protocols, but the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was less during RR6 (p < 0.05; d = 0.93 (0.44, 1.40)). Also, mean velocity and power output decreased (RR6: 14.10% and 10.95%; TS: 17.10% and 15.85%, respectively) from the first repetition to the last, but the percentage decrease was similar (velocity: p > 0.05; d = 0.16 (0.30, 0.62); power: p > 0.05; d = 0.22 (-0.24, 0.68)). These data suggest that traditional sets and rest redistribution maintain velocity and power output to a similar degree when traditional sets are not performed to failure. However, rest redistribution might be advantageous as RR6 displayed a lower RPE.

Authors: Cvetkovic Marko , Duarte J. , Soares Denise , Santos Baptista J.
Published: April 2019

Sitting comfortably in a vehicle, office or at home, besides design characteristics, requires excellent physical support of the material to the exposed body segments. An uncomfortable seat can cause well-known pain such as lower back pain, which is nowadays become as "chronical" pain among all the seated workers. This systematic review protocol is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) Statement and presents a methodology to find possible evidence of critical values of the applied pressure which can cause a negative impact on the soft tissues of the seated person. Furthermore, if it is possible to correlate obtained critical values with the time spent in the sitting position. Based on this, the main databases (Scopus, PubMed and Science Direct) will be searched using the same keywords combination for all of them. Afterwards, articles selection process, data extraction, and validation will be approved independently by the reviewers and collected data will be summarized in a spreadsheet table. Outcomes of the selected articles will be examined in the details and will be analyzed in order to extract the main results.

Disponibilidade e influência dos microplásticos nos seres vivos e ambiente: Uma revisão
Authors: Lucio Fabiola Terra , Magnoni Diane Marques , Vicentini Veronica Elisa Pimenta , Conte Helio
Published: April 2019

Introdução: Microplásticos (MPCs) são fragmentos plásticos menores do que 5mm de diâmetro. Eles podem ser formados pela indústria (MPCs primários) ou de detritos gerados a partir dos macroplásticos (MPCs secundários). Objetivo: Essa revisão objetiva explorar a disponibilidade e os danos dos MCPs no ambiente, nos seres vivos e principalmente na saúde humana. Metodologia: Coleta de dados foi realizada no período de Outubro a Dezembro de 2017, nas bases eletrônicas: Scielo, Pubmed, Science Direct, Periódicos CAPES e Google Acadêmico, publicadas no período de 2008 à 2018. Resultados: Nos últimos anos essas partículas tiveram um aumento significativo no ambiente, conduzindo os estudiosos a realizarem diversos experimentos com intuito de verificar a abrangência, disponibilidade e impacto dos MPCs no meio-ambiente. Os seres-vivos têm se mostrado suscetíveis à absorção de MPCs, levando ao acúmulo destas partículas plásticas ao longo da cadeia alimentar podendo gerar consequências no ambiente. Várias pesquisas têm sido desenvolvidas em animais, entretanto, em humanos há uma grande escassez de trabalhos, necessitando de análises que visam entender a interação entre MPCs e o ser humano. Devido à dimensão que os MPCs alcançaram, alguns países criaram leis que proibiram o uso das microesferas em cosméticos. Conclusão: O Brasil ainda não possui leis que limitem o uso de microplásticos pelas indústrias e nem alternativas para a retirada desses fragmentos pelo tratamento da água, visto que eles já estão presentes nas águas brasileiras, assim é necessário o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas e alternativas sustentáveis para este problema.

Authors: Delfino Kunz Luana Fraga , Cruz Mauro , Faria Novais Tiago de Morais
Published: April 2019

Os corantes vegetais foram ao longo do tempo substituídos por corantes sintéticos por serem mais práticos e apresentarem maior estabilidade nas peças. Estes corantes são derivados do petróleo e carvão mineral, extraídos através de processos poluentes e tóxicos, além de serem altamente solúveis em água, sendo liberados junto à grandes quantidades de efluentes gerados. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a viabilidade técnica e ambiental do uso de corantes vegetais selecionados no tingimento de tecidos, analisando parâmetros ambientais do efluente gerado, como pH, turbidez, DBO, DQO e a qualidade do tecido em relação ao tingido industrialmente analisando ainda solidez à fricção e à lavagem e parâmetros de espectrofotometria. Para isso, foram feitos tingimentos utilizando beterraba, repolho roxo e casca de cebola em processo artesanal. As análises de qualidade do tecido demonstraram resultados satisfatórios quanto à brancura, hidrofilia, solidez à lavagem e fricção. Os efluentes apresentaram grande quantidade de matéria orgânica, com valores muito acima do permitido pela Norma Deliberativa COPAM/CERH n.1 de 2008 – Art 29 de Efluentes industriais.

Impacts of Licensed Interference and Inaccurate Channel Information on Information Security in Spectrum Sharing Environment
Authors: Thiem Do Dac , Khuong Ho Van
Published: April 2019

Spectrum sharing environment creates cross-interference between licensed network and unlicensednetwork. Most existing works consider unlicensed interference (i.e., interference from unlicensed networkto licensed network) while ignoring licensed interference (i.e., interference from licensed networkto unlicensed network). Moreover, existing channel estimation algorithms cannot exactly estimate channelinformation. In this paper, impacts of licensed interference and inaccurate channel information oninformation security in the spectrum sharing environment is analyzed under peak transmit power bound,peak interference power bound, and Rayleigh fading. Toward this end, a secrecy outage probabilityformula is proposed in an exact form and validated by simulations. Various results illustrate that secrecyoutage probability is constant in a range of large peak interference powers or large peak transmit powers,and is severely affected by licensed interference and inaccurate channel information.

Authors: Newhouse Timothy , Turlik Aneta , Chen Yifeng , Scruse Anthony
Published: April 2019

The total synthesis of principinol D, a rearranged kaurane diterpenoid, is reported. This grayanane natural product is constructed via a convergent fragment coupling approach, wherein the central 7-membered ring is synthesized at a late stage. The bicyclo[3.2.1]octane fragment is accessed by a Ni-catalyzed α-vinylation reaction. Strategic reductions include a diastereoselective SmI2-mediated ketone reduction with PhSH and a new protocol for selective ester reduction in the presence of ketones. The convergent strategy reported herein may be an entry point to the larger class of kaurane diterpenoids.

Methodological challenges to evaluating the health economic impact of nutritional interventions
Authors: Schmier Jordana Kate , Chang Ellen T
Published: April 2019

Enhancing the diet by increasing or decreasing consumption of selected foods or nutrients is a well-accepted method of improving population health in certain settings.  However, the economic impact of most dietary interventions is largely unknown.  Studies in the past decade have started to estimate the effects on healthcare costs, often through economic models, but the evaluation of nutritional interventions is challenging and faces uncertainties unique to the domain, compared with more straightforward analyses of medical or surgical interventions.  This paper discusses three main areas of uncertainty: measurement of consumption, assessing effectiveness, and considerations about the economic inputs to a model.  Insight into these sources of uncertainty can help readers assess the quality of existing studies, and provide guidance for their future research.

Eurooppalaiset periferiat postkoloniaalisessa kirjallisuudessa
Authors: Toivanen Anna-Leena
Published: April 2019

Kuten Frank Schulze-Engler (2013, 670) on todennut, Eurooppa on jälkikoloniaalin tutkimuksen sokea piste. Eurooppaa ei ymmärretä ”jälkikoloniaalisena” mantereena, joten se rajautuu kyseisen paradigman ulkopuolelle. Schulze-Engler peräänkuuluttaa Euroopan sisällyttämistä jälkikoloniaalisen tutkimuksen kartalle, minne se siirtomaamenneisyyden määrittämän nykyhetkensä puolesta perustellusti kuuluu. 

Euroopan ”jälkikolonialisointi” oli yksi keskeinen motiivi toukokuussa 2018 Liègen yliopistossa Belgiassa järjestämälleni symposiumille “European Peripheries in Postcolonial Literatures”. Tapahtuma liittyi kaksivuotiseen, Euroopan komission rahoittamaan Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship -tutkimusprojektiini.

Sobre las tensiones entre conocimiento y vida en la filosofía de Nietzsche
Authors: Torres Gabriel M
Published: April 2019

El presente escrito deriva del informe de adscripción a la cátedra “Filosofía Contemporánea Siglo XIX”, llevada a cabo en el período 2007-2008. El objetivo central es presentar una cierta organización de los elementos básicos de dos dimensiones que de la obra de Friedrich Nietzsche: la reflexión sobre el conocimiento, y la ética. La exploración de los puntos de conexión entre ambas tiene como aspiración precisar la idea de crítica que habría llegado a formular el filósofo alemán.

De este modo, en el tramo más propiamente especulativo la atención se focaliza en la cuestión del perspectivismo y su crítica a la clásica noción de verdad; mientras que la instancia siguiente se atiene al análisis de los efectos de la práctica del conocimiento en el orden de la vida, para lo cual el pensamiento genealógico y la noción de ideal ascético resultan piezas claves. El planteo del carácter ambivalente del conocimiento, a través de la óptica de la existencia, tiene como interés global ensayar una caracterización de la posición de Nietzsche ante la tradición filosófica moderna.
Memoria y olvido en el pensamiento del joven Nietzsche
Authors: Vanioff Iván
Published: April 2019

El presente artículo realiza una exploración de los textos del joven Nietzsche para lograr determinar el sentido que el autor alemán atribuye a la memoria y al olvido. En este periodo ambas facultades son comprendidas en relación a la vida. En el nacimiento de la tragedia y en la Segunda Intempestiva, la memoria es un elemento que predispone al empobrecimiento vital, en tanto que el olvido devuelve la plenitud a la vida. Sin embargo, en Sobre Verdad y Mentira en Sentido Extramoral se entiende a la facultad de olvidar como instancia necesaria para lograr la domesticación del animal humano, o sea como inhibidor de facultades vitales.
Perspectivas de la dinámica social en Karl Marx y Pierre Bourdieu
Authors: Modenutti Carolina
Published: April 2019

Este trabajo está dedicado a indagar la presencia que Karl Marx tiene en la teoría social de Pierre Bourdieu. Si bien sendos autores pertenecen a diferentes contextos históricos, geográficos, sociales, es factible encontrar entre ellos ciertos puntos en común en sus consideraciones respecto del sistema social. El trabajo estará centrado en la exposición de conceptos de Bourdieu, a partir de los cuales iremos confrontando las ideas de Marx; por ello, presentaremos inicialmente los rasgos fundamentales de la sociedad para Marx, y durante el desarrollo iremos especificando los puntos de encuentro o distanciamiento con las ideas bourdieuanas. Para el desarrollo de nuestra exposición y la confrontación de ideas con Marx, tomaremos tres puntos de la teoría de Bourdieu; en primer lugar, describiremos la concepción estructural de lo social, es decir, cómo se configura la sociedad y los elementos de su dinámica. En segundo lugar, mostraremos las particularidades de la construcción del orden social mediante la utilización del término bourdieuano “campo”. En tercer y último lugar, tomaremos la relación dada entre el plano material y el plano simbólico, cuya articulación se presenta como fundamento del devenir social.
Rol del cuerpo en Platón, una perspectiva foucaultiana
Authors: García Zalazar María Belén
Published: April 2019

La investigación buscará realizar un análisis del papel del cuerpo en la noción Foucaultiana de Inquietud de sí en el período socrático platónico abordadas en la recopilación de clases titulada Hermenéutica del sujeto. En ella Foucault nos ofrece una nueva mirada sobre la concepción platónica de cuerpo y le otorgaría una función indispensable en lo referente al proceso de subjetivación entendida en el contexto de la relación del sujeto con la verdad.

Partiendo de la lectura del Fedro, diálogo platónico que relata lo referente al alma y a la caída de la misma del mundo de las ideas al plano sensible con la consecuente adopción de un cuerpo, se buscará señalar mediante los aportes foucaultianos, como ese cuerpo que representa la prisión a la cual se vio recluida el alma, se presenta a su vez como la condición de posibilidad de su liberación y retorno venturoso al plano eidético.

 
Pasión, arte y verdad en La Ciencia Jovial de Friedrich Nietzsche
Authors: Alegre Daniel Andrés
Published: April 2019

La tradición exegética de la obra nietzscheana abunda en análisis acerca de las influencias románticas de las filosofías de Schopenhauer y Wagner sobre las obras de juventud de Nietzsche. Así mismo está bien estudiada la ruptura con dichas filosofías debido al desencanto del autor con sus maestros. En este trabajo buscamos rastrear en La ciencia jovial, obra del periodo ilustrado de Nietzsche, los conceptos derivados de la filosofía práctica romántica que en sí misma representó una variante de la imagen arquetípica que tenemos del romanticismo. Para esta exploración utilizaremos el concepto de pasión como eje estructurador. A partir de este concepto abordaremos su relación con la vida, el establecimiento de verdades, la vida en sociedad, la el mundo y finalmente con la voluntad de poder
Rock-carved Buddhas of the Late Goryeo Dynasty: Production Dates and Styles
Authors: Lee Hae-rim
Published: April 2019

The aims of this study are to determinate the production dates of rock-carved Buddhas, until now roughly dated to the late Goryeo Dynasty, and to understand their characteristic styles. Earth surface investigations reveal that each rock-carved Buddha stood in close proximity to temples that were in existence between the early Goryeo Dynasty and Joseon. Although there are no evidences on the histories of the temples or the exact circumstances under which the carvings were made, it can be assumed that they were produced under the influences of the temples that worshipped Buddha. The styles of rock-carved Buddhas are explained by generality and diversity. Made during the late Goryeo Dynasty, they were placed near grain-transport warehouses and water routes, and more specifically on natural stones that look down on villages or roads. This choice of location was presumably because the rock-carved Buddhas were primarily made to pray for protection and safety since the ancient times. As the centers of Buddhist worship were moved to the provinces after Military Officers’ Revolt of 1170, the location of rock-carved Buddhas were explained to be the result of the growth of provincial styles. However, the techniques seen on traditional-style statues and paintings patronized by the royal family and aristocrats are also recognized on the rock-carved Buddhas, making it possible to posit that they were made by provincial patrons who could learn from upper class culture and express them. Moreover, several iconographical patterns appear across the country, showing that there existed basic designs for the rock-carved Buddhas and schools of stonemasons who shared them. There are also examples that were modified from original patterns, a novel type of crown, and mudras that resemble those of esoteric Buddhism. In conclusion, rock-carved Buddhas of the late Goryeo Dynasty had accordingly embraced and expressed generality of past culture and diversity of new culture, and were received by several classes by accommodating their faiths. Moreover, as they existed at the transition period from Goryeo to Joseon, they have fully performed their role of sharing the past and moving into the new era.
Love of Land: Nature Protection, Nationalism, and the Struggle over the Establishment of New Communities in Israel
Authors: Dromi Shai M. , Shani Liron
Published: April 2019

Although there is burgeoning research on environmental activism, few studies have examined the interrelationship between nationalism and nature protection in detail. This article examines how groups manage the tension between national commitment and caring for the environment. It focuses on two opposing Israeli activist groups: a settler movement that aims to establish new communities in the fast‐dwindling Israeli open expanses and a “green” movement intent on preserving open spaces. Our observations, interviews, and textual analysis show that both groups believe themselves to be committed to the protection of nature, and that both groups see environmental responsibility as an integral aspect of their Zionist identity. However, the Israeli green movement sees abstaining from interventions in nature and adhering to sustainable development as Zionist because it preserves Israel for future generations. Conversely, the settler movement sees active intervention in nature—by building new communities, planting trees, and hiking—as the proper way to protect Israeli natural expanses and to maintain the livelihood of Israeli society. Our case study demonstrates that, although environmental movements often aspire to universalism, local movements also interlace environmentalism and nationalism in ways that generate multiple (and even contradictory) interpretations of the appropriate way to care for nature.
How often does random assignment fail? Estimates and recommendations
Authors: Goldberg Matthew H.
Published: April 2019

A fundamental goal of the scientific process is to make causal inferences. Random assignment to experimental conditions has been taken to be a gold-standard technique for establishing causality. Despite this, it is unclear how often random assignment fails to eliminate non-trivial differences between experimental conditions. Further, it is unknown to what extent larger sample sizes mitigates this issue. Chance differences between experimental conditions may be especially important when investigating topics that are highly sample-dependent, such as climate change and other politicized issues. Three studies examine simulated data (Study 1), three real datasets from original environmental psychology experiments (Study 2), and one nationally-representative dataset (Study 3) and find that differences between conditions that remain after random assignment are surprisingly common for sample sizes typical of social psychological scientific experiments. Methods and practices for identifying and mitigating such differences are discussed, and point to implications that are especially relevant to experiments in social and environmental psychology.

Bersamaan dengan produksi alpukat yang terus meningkat, maka limbah biji alpukat juga akan semakin meningkat. Biji alpukat merupakan salah satu sumber minyak nabati yang berpotensi sebagai bahan baku pengganti. Maka perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang minyak biji alpukat yang didapatkan dengan metode ekstraksi menggunakan pelarut n-heksana dengan variabel proses volume pelarut, berat biji, dan waktu ekstraksi. Dalam mengetahui mutu dari minyak biji alpukat dilakukan analisa %yield, densitas, asam lemak bebas (%ALB), dan angka/bilangan asam. Data hasil penelitian menyatakan kandungan minyak biji alpukat sebesar 32,8%. Penelitian ini mendapatkan %yield yang optimum karena dipengaruhi oleh variabel proses, dimana saat volume pelarut 250 ml, berat biji 50gr, dan waktu ekstraksi 90 menit. Densitas yang didapatkan yaitu 0,7 – 0,74 gr/ml, kadar asam lemak bebas (%ALB) 0,96% - 1,61%, dan untuk angka/bilangan asam 0,785 – 1,570 mg KOH/gr.

Along with the increased avocado production, seeds avocado waste will also increase. Seeds Avocado is one source of vegetable oil that has potential as a substitute raw material. So it is necessary to do research on seeds avocado oil obtained by extraction method using n-hexane solvent with solvent volume process variables, seed weight, and time of extraction. In knowing the quality of seeds avocado oil is done % yield analysis, density, free fatty acid (% ALB), and number / acid number. The results of research data indicate avocado seed oil content of 32.8 %. This study obtained an optimum yield % because it was influenced by process variables, where the volume of solvent was 250 ml, seed weight 50 gr, and extraction time 90 min. The density obtained was 0.7 - 0.74 gr / ml, free fatty acid content (% ALB) 0.96% - 1.61%, and for the acid number 0.785 - 1.570 mg KOH / g.

An examination of measurement procedures and characteristics of baseline outcome data in single-case research

Published: April 2019

There has been growing interest in using statistical methods to analyze data and estimate effect size indices from studies that use single-case designs (SCDs), as a complement to traditional visual inspection methods. The validity of a statistical method rests on whether its assumptions are plausible representations of the process by which the data were collected, yet there is evidence that some assumptions---particularly regarding normality of error distributions---may be inappropriate for single-case data. To develop more appropriate modelling assumptions and statistical methods, researchers must attend to the features of real SCD data. In this study, we examine several features of SCDs with behavioral outcome measures in order to inform development of statistical methods. Drawing on a corpus of over 300 studies, including approximately 1800 cases, from seven systematic reviews that cover a range of interventions and outcome constructs, we report the distribution of study designs, distribution of outcome measurement procedures, and features of baseline outcome data distributions for the most common types of measurements used in single-case research. We discuss implications for the development of more realistic assumptions regarding outcome distributions in SCD studies, as well as the design of Monte Carlo simulation studies evaluating the performance of statistical analysis techniques for SCED data.
Moral Grandstanding in Public Discourse: Status-seeking Motives as a Potential Explanatory Mechanism in Predicting Conflict
Authors: Grubbs Joshua B. , Warmke Brandon , Tosi Justin , James Alicia Shanti , Campbell William Keith
Published: April 2019

Public discourse is often caustic and conflict-filled. This trend seems to be particularly evident when the content of such discourse is around moral issues (broadly defined) and when the discourse occurs on social media. Several explanatory mechanisms for such conflict have been explored in recent psychological and social-science literatures. The present work sought to examine a potentially novel explanatory mechanism defined in philosophical literature: Moral Grandstanding. According to philosophical accounts, Moral Grandstanding is the use of moral talk to seek social status. For the present work, we conducted six studies, using two undergraduate samples (Study 1, N = 361; Study 2, N = 356); a sample matched to U.S. norms for age, gender, race, income, Census region (Study 3, N = 1,063); a YouGov sample matched to U.S. demographic norms (Study 4, N = 2,000); and a brief, one-month longitudinal study of Mechanical Turk workers in the U.S. (Study 5 , Baseline N = 499, follow-up n = 296), and a large, one-week YouGov sample matched to U.S. demographic norms (Baseline N = 2,519, follow-up n = 1,776). Across studies, we found initial support for the validity of Moral Grandstanding as a construct. Specifically, moral grandstanding motivation was associated with status-seeking personality traits, as well as greater political and moral conflict in daily life.

Cyclists’ accidents account for a relatively large proportion of road fatalities and this proportion is increasing. Moreover, research suggests that crashes can be predicted by near misses, based on the assumption that they share common causes. Also in the cycling domain it has been suggested that near miss incidents may provide ‘early warnings’ of situations or behaviours that could lead to crashes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role played by perception of risk and control on the exposure to risky situations, such as the involvement in mixed traffic. We administered a questionnaire to 298 Italian cyclists measuring perceived competence (i.e. perceived control and overconfidence), risk perception of interactions with cars, bicycle use, avoidance of mixed traffic and recent experiences of near misses. Path analysis using Bayesian estimation showed that perceived control, mediated by overconfidence, had a positive indirect effect on bicycle use and a negative one on avoidance of mixed traffic, while it acted as a moderator in the relationship between risk perception of interaction with cars and avoidance of mixed traffic. Furthermore, the mediation paths revealed the indirect effects of perceived control on near misses through exposure. Results highlighted the importance of considering the role of individuals’ perception of their ability to cycle with regard to near misses and provided new insight on how cyclists regulate their behaviour, as well as how such behaviour leads to different safety outcomes. Results have implications regarding theory, infrastructure and the application of new safety technologies.
Will the crowd game the algorithm? Using layperson judgments to combat misinformation on social media by downranking distrusted sources
Authors: Epstein Ziv , Pennycook Gordon , Rand David Gertler
Published: April 2019

How can social media platforms fight the spread of misinformation? One possibility is to use newsfeed algorithms to downrank content from sources that users rate as untrustworthy. But will laypeople unable to identify misinformation sites due to motivated reasoning or lack of expertise? And will they “game” this crowdsourcing mechanism to promote content that aligns with their partisan agendas? We conducted a survey experiment in which N = 984 Americans indicated their trust in numerous news sites. Half of the participants were told that their survey responses would inform social media ranking algorithms - creating a potential incentive to misrepresent their beliefs. Participants trusted mainstream sources much more than hyper-partisan or fake news sources, and their ratings were highly correlated with professional fact-checker judgments. Critically, informing participants that their responses would influence ranking algorithms did not diminish this high level of discernment, despite slightly increasing the political polarization of trust ratings.
Subjective Emptiness: A Clinically Significant Trans-diagnostic Psychopathology Construct

Published: April 2019

Subjective emptiness is a pervasive transdiagnostic construct. The aim of this series of studies was to use construct validation procedures to better understand the nature and correlates of subjective emptiness. A literature review led to 88 items which were then trimmed to 53 via qualitative interviews with patients and experts. This preliminary scale was administered to 543 university students and 1,067 clinical participants along with measures of depression, meaning in life, borderline personality disorder, and impulsivity. The scale was reduced to 17 items following item analysis, factor and item response theory analyses, extreme groups comparisons, and examinations of criterion validity. This 17-item scale, along with measures of identity disturbance and maladaptive personality traits, was then administered to 1,016 clinical participants. The scale was trimmed to 7 items based on results from these data. Results strongly supported the unidimensionality of subjective emptiness and its transdiagnostic clinical value.

Correction: Unfortunately, several authors on this paper were omitted. Therefore, on 15th April 2019 the following authors were added to the paper: Mathew Ibrahim Amprayil, Rahul Taparia and Shailesh Mani Pokhrel. The editorial board apologises for this error.

The common risk factors for Idiopathic intracranial hypertension are obesity, female gender, hypervitaminosis A, and steroid withdrawal. Even though Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is considered as a neuropsychiatric manifestation of Systemic lupus erythematosus, it is often missed by the physician as a cause of a headache in a patient with Systemic lupus erythematosus. We report a case of 21-year-old female who presented in our outpatient department with a history of a severe intractable progressive headache for a duration of four weeks and blurring of vision for five days who was later diagnosed as a case of idiopathic intracranial hypertension with Systemic lupus erythematosus. She recovered dramatically with the institution of steroid and acetazolamide therapy.
