What’s a Mini-Game? The Anatomy of Fishing Mini-Games
Authors: Xiao Leon Y.
Published: May 2023

Fishing ‘mini-games’ are common in many contemporary video games. But what makes certain fishing-related video gaming elements into a ‘fishing mini-game’ per se and not merely a ‘fishing mechanic’? I answer this by examining how fishing elements vary from one implementation to another. Through analysing eight recent games with fishing, I identify and categorise a list of features where different implementations may vary. The resultant framework can assist designers to implement differently to cater to various player types and achieve specific goals. I also make a first attempt at distinguishing fishing mini-games from other fishing elements in video games. I identify two core considerations that, in my view, are crucial in rendering certain gameplay elements, but not others, a ‘mini-game:’ (i) gameplay-wise, the mini-game should be substantially different from other elements of the overarching video game and (ii) engagement with the mini-game should not be compulsory or effectively so.
Stability and change in young children’s linguistic experience during the COVID-19 pandemic: insight from a citizen-science sample in the United States
Authors: Bulgarelli Federica , Potter Christine
Published: May 2023

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, extensive lockdowns interrupted daily routines, including childcare. We asked whether these interruptions, and the inevitable changes in the people with whom children spent their waking hours, caused changes in the languages that children heard. We retrospectively queried parents of young children (0-4 years) in the US about childcare arrangements and exposure to English and non-English languages at four timepoints from February 2020 to September 2021. Despite discontinuity in childcare arrangements, we found that children’s exposure to English vs. other languages remained relatively stable. We also identified demographic variables (child age at pandemic onset, parental proficiency in a non-English language) that consistently predicted exposure to non-English languages. Thus, multilingually-exposed children in this population did not appear to significantly gain or lose the opportunity to hear non-English languages overall. These results provide insight into the experiences of this unique cohort and inform our understanding of how language development can be shaped by complex environmental systems.

Trial history influences the malleability of gender differences in children’s mental rotation performance
Authors: Liu Yaxin , Lourenco Stella F.
Published: May 2023

Despite accumulating evidence of gender differences in mental rotation performance, much remains unknown about the variables that lead to an advantage among boys compared to girls. Here we examined the role of trial history on children’s performance. To this end, we manipulated the difficulty of trials and implemented drift diffusion modeling (DDM) to assess how prior exposure to easy versus hard trials affects the parameters of drift rate and decision threshold. In Experiment 1, children were presented with either an easy-to-hard or a hard-to-easy block order. On easy trials, there were no gender differences in accuracy or drift rates, regardless of order. On hard trials, girls matched boys in accuracy and drift rates, but only when easy trials were presented first, suggesting that girls’ performance on hard trials benefited from prior exposure to easy trials. In Experiment 2, we ruled out a general practice effect, confirming that improvement in girls’ performance is specific to exposure on easy trials prior to hard trials, not just more trials. Additionally, boys, in general, had larger decision thresholds than girls. Taken together, these findings point to gender differences in mental rotation performance that are dependent on trial history and that may reflect differences in affective and/or motivational factors between boys and girls.
The neglected dimension of meaning in life: having a positive impact on others.
Authors: Fuhrer Joffrey , Cova Florian
Published: May 2023

The prevailing consensus in the psychological literature regarding the construct of meaning in life typically aligns with a tripartite perspective. In this article, we advance theoretical arguments and present nuanced empirical evidence that challenges this prevailing view, advocating for the inclusion of a fourth dimension: having a positive impact on others. Our introduction puts forth several arguments in favor of our hypothesis and justifies our reasons for exploring this new avenue. In Studies 1 and 2 (N = 480 and N = 394), part of our results indicates that individuals who have a positive impact on others are considered to have a more meaningful life than those who don’t. In Study 3 (N = 207), we find that when participants are asked to rate and rank definitions of meaning in life, having a positive impact on others is among the highest-ranked definitions. In Study 4 (which is in reality one study and two replications, N = 357, N = 294, and N = 277), we present two key findings. We show that a 4-factor model including measures of impact, purpose, coherence, and significance has a better fit to our data than a 1, 2, or 3-factor model. Furthermore, we show that people who see themselves as having a positive impact on others rate their lives as more meaningful, and this effect remains after controlling for the other three dimensions of purpose, coherence, and significance.
A comprehensive comparison of measures for assessing profile similarity
Authors: Carlier Chiara , Karch Julian , Kuppens Peter , Ceulemans Eva
Published: May 2023

Profile similarity measures are used to quantify the similarity of two sets of ratings on multiple variables. Computing profile similarity has increased in popularity to study for instance how two persons are similar in terms of their personality or profile of experienced emotions. This popularity has spurred the development of many new measures of profile similarity. Yet, it remains unclear how these measures are distinct or overlap and what type of information they precisely convey, making it unclear how similar or different conclusions would have been, had another measure been applied. With this study, we aim to provide clarity with respect to how existing measures interrelate, and provide recommendations for their use by comparing a wide range of profile similarity measures. To this end, we have taken four steps. First, we reviewed a set of 88 similarity measures by applying them to multiple cross-sectional and intensive longitudinal data sets on emotional experience and retained 43 useful profile similarity measures. Second, we have clustered these 43 measures into similarly behaving groups, and found three general clusters: one cluster with difference measures, one cluster with product measures that could be split into four more nuanced groups and one miscellaneous cluster that could be split into two more nuanced groups. Third, we have interpreted what unifies these groups and their subgroups (and hence what information they convey) based on theory and formulas. Last, based on our findings, we discuss some recommendations with respect to the choice of measure, the Pearson correlation and centering.

Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION

Covid-19 is a debilitating disorder which affects the lungs with multiple organs involvement. The biochemical variables play important role in the management of the Covid-19 patients who are with different clinical proﬁle, socio-demographic, and co-morbid conditions like diabetes and hypertension.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

This cross sectional study was conducted in the Covid-19 hospitalized cases at UCMS, Bhairahawa. Total of 150 patients were enrolled in the study period from May 2021 and October 2021 whose clinical proﬁle, sociodemographic and biochemical variables were assessed.

RESULTS

The gender wise distribution shows the male dominancy with M:F ratio 1:0.85. The maximum age group vulnerable to Covid-19 in our study was found to be 41-60 years with median age of 47 years. There were constellations of symptom with shortness of breath 70% becoming ﬁrst followed by cough 67.3% and fever 54%. The frequency of diabetes and hypertension was 19.3% and 24% showing co-morbidity associated changes in biochemical parameters. The male to female differences in biochemical changes have been associated with Covid-19 patients, however age wise distribution do not show any difference in biochemical parameters.

CONCLUSION

COVID 19 patients have a high prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, which is a common morbidity. A few biochemical indices (D-dimer, LDH, CRP, and ALT) change signiﬁcantly between males and females. All biochemical parameters, on the other hand, are unaffected by age.

Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION

The irrational prescription of drugs is highly prevalent among patients suffering from skin diseases. Since it has a serious impact on health and economy, there is an urgent need to study drug utilization pattern in hospital settings. Therefore, this study aims to investigate drug utilization pattern and its cost analysis in Dermatology Out Patient Department in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A four-month, prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from 10th February 2022 to 10th June 2022 in newly diagnosed cases attending Out Patient Department of dermatology at Universal College of Medical Sciences, Bhairahawa, Nepal. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee (UCMS/IRC/037/22). Purposive consecutive sampling technique was used. The data were collected from patient cards and details were ﬁlled in predesigned proforma. The collected data were analyzed in Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.

RESULTS

A total of 601 prescriptions were scrutinized. The common skin condition found was eczema (9.98%) while the common classes of drugs prescribed were antifungals (31.94%). The number of drugs per prescription varied from one to ﬁve with an average of 3.11. It was observed that 3.95% of prescription was by generic names. The maximum of drugs (36.06%) was prescribed in tablet form. The percentage of antibiotics prescribed and drugs prescribed from the WHO Essential Drugs List were 12.31% and 27.88% respectively. The average cost per prescription calculated was 739.39 Nepali Rupees.

CONCLUSION

A drug utilization study can help to rationalize prescriptions, reduce errors, and improve cost-effective treatment.
Staphylococcus nepalensis: A New Species from Nepal
Authors: Kripa Ghimire  , Rajeshawr Reddy Kasarla
Published: May 2023

The Genus Staphylococcus belong to the family Staphylococcaceae which comprise of 53 valid species. These are the normal ﬂora of mucocutaneous membranes of mammals and usually of felines. Staphylococcus nepalensis is one of the member of genus Staphylococcus which show close resemblance to Staphylococcus cohnii, Staphylococcus gallinarum and Staphylococcus succinus. Thus, phenotypic tests are not sufﬁcient to characterize them sufﬁciently, molecular intervention is required for their correct identiﬁcation. In recent times, the cases associated with S. nepalensis is surging and this may create problems as they are seen to be highly resistant towards some of the antibiotics like cefoxitin and penicillin. Their potential to transfer resistant genes to Staphylococcus aureus isolated from human clinical samples via plasmid and their ability to form bioﬁlm are threatening as they may lead to increase in burden of antimicrobial resistance. There may be more cases of infection with S.nepalensis but may have remained hidden due to limited number of research. Thus, the knowledge and scientiﬁc information on Staphylococcus nepalensis is still unknown or relatively limited; hence this comprehensive review of S.nepalensis is undertaken to highlight its importance and research.

Vaccine Adverse Events and State Responsibility: The Formation of the Korean Immunization Compensation
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Social History of Medicine, Jung Junho
Published: May 2023

Vaccines remain an unstable and controversial technology in South Korean society, as evidenced by the adverse event debate during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. The Korean government's primary policy response to this has been to implement a comprehensive immunization compensation system that provides state-level compensation to those who experience harm, even if a direct causal link to vaccination cannot be proven. Although South Korea's immunization compensation system was enacted in 1994 and fully implemented in 1995, government, medical, and public debates surrounding it have been ongoing since the mass vaccination campaigns of Korea. This study examines how attempts to manage vaccine adverse events in Korea have been shaped by conflicts between government, medical professionals, and the public over vaccination, particularly over adverse events. At the same time, the technical limitations of each vaccine led to questions of safety, and these limitations shaped the public's perceptions of effectiveness and trust in individual vaccines. This study focuses on three of the most widely recognized vaccine-related adverse reactions: the typhoid vaccine of the 1960s, the DPT vaccine of the 1970s, and the Japanese encephalitis vaccine of the 1990s. These cases reveal that state-oriented disease control initiatives were not always successful in mobilizing the public and medical personnel unilaterally, but rather that there were various resistances and backlash, requiring detailed policies such as “no-fault” compensation systems to manage them. Furthermore, these cases suggest that for future systematic vaccine policy formulation, it is necessary to build a historical understanding of the technical limitations of individual vaccines and the experiences and responses to their adverse effects, rather than analyzing vaccine policy as a single entity.
The big bang theory: two fatal flaws
Authors: Traunmüller Hartmut
Published: May 2023

The cosmic microwave background radiation is routinely cited as evidence for a hot big bang. Its homogeneity satisfies the cosmological principle. However, in prototypical big bang models, all matter originates from a primeval fireball that also emits the light that is redshifted into these microwaves. Since light escapes from its source faster than matter can move, it would need to return for it to still be visible to material observers, but the universe is considered ‘flat’ and non-reflective. This prevents us from observing the redshifted glow of the primeval fireball. Like its observability, its homogeneity would also be transient. This is concealed by considering the light to expand with the ‘Hubble flow’ while disregarding that it escapes at _c_. This blunder reflects the practice of treating model universes in general relativity as filled with a homogeneous fluid. For radiation, this becomes inappropriate when it is no longer scattered. What we actually observe remains unexplained. Moreover, the calculation of line-of-sight distances allows an expanding view into a large pre-existing universe. For other aspects, the universe is assumed to have been smaller before. This creates contradictions such as between the observed source of the cosmic microwaves and their much smaller and closer assumed emitting source. The criticism expressed here goes against the ‘hard core’ of an established research program. Those cores are treated as inviolable, which blocks fundamental progress. Such blockage can persist for generations even if the theory that is offered as the best we have is actually irrational.

The Need for a Comprehensive Approach: Integrating Multiculturalism and National Identity in Indonesian Education
Authors: Thahir Abdullah
Published: May 2023

The recent awareness of multicultural reality, diversity, and national pluralism, including ethnicity, religion, culture, economic status, and politics, requires sensitivity. Multicultural education is considered an appropriate way to instill the ability of society to live in diversity. The core of multiculturalism is the willingness to accept other groups equally as a unit without considering cultural, ethnic, gender, language, or religious differences. Multiculturalism refers to cultural plurality and a certain way of responding to pluralism. Therefore, multiculturalism is not a pragmatic political doctrine but a way of life. The character of a nation is a characteristic and attitude of a nation reflected in the behavior and personality of its citizens. The nation's character can be influenced by something given and also willed for the progress of the nation and the country. Therefore, the national character depends heavily on the political will of the government or ruler of a country built in accordance with the vision of a country. There are three main pillars of the Indonesian national identity that must not be eroded in any way, namely, Indonesia as a nationality, a proclaimed state, and a territory bound by the slogan "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika". The shared goal of realizing democracy requires an appreciation of cultural diversity and a synergistic approach to managing diversity. If managed properly, conflicts that often afflict Indonesia and its people can be minimized through the ability to manage existing diversity.
Who is more religious and ethical, Republicans, Democrats or others?
Authors: Arli Denni , Setiawan Gunaro
Published: May 2023

Reports show most religious groups in the United States, especially Christian evangelicals, are showing more affiliation to the Republican political party. Nonetheless, members of the Democratic political party are also weaving faith into their rhetoric. A citizen’s affiliation with a political party can change over time, and political affiliation might influence behavior. This study compares and contrasts individuals affiliated with political parties and those who are not on their: (1) decision-making process purchasing everyday products, (2) relationship with God, (3) and ethical and sustainable behaviors.  Using Pew Research data (n=3,278), this study compares and contrasts individuals affiliated with political parties and those who are not on their decision-making process in purchasing everyday products, relationship with God, and ethical and sustainable behaviors. Despite significant differences between political parties, most of them have thanked God for something and almost half of them have asked God for help and guidance.   The results show people in the U.S. with various party affiliations are somewhat religious and spiritual. The notion that only Republicans will be guided by religious beliefs is misguided. Almost half of Democrats in this study show strong religious values.
 The paper makes several contributions to this area of study. First, similarities and differences between individuals affiliated with political parties are determined. Second,  myths about stigma toward a particular political party are debunked, and finally, insights for religious and political leaders on their followers’ behavior are provided.

The types of plant diversity on the territory of the Radomyshl Forestry in areas with different types of forest vegetation conditions were investigated. 21 species belonging to 15 families and 18 genera have been identified. The main types of forest are determined (Pinus sylvestris-Vaccinium vitisidaea+V. myrtillus-Cladonia spp.+ Pleurozium; Pinus sylvestris-Calluna vulgaris-Pleurozium+ Cladonia ssp.; Pinus sylvestris-Vaccinium myrtillus-Pleurozium; Pinus sylvestris-Pteridium aquilinum-Vaccinium myrtillus-Pleurozium; Pinus sylvestris-Calamagrostis arundinacea+Convallaria majalis) and key indices of species diversity (Simpson, Shannon-Viviver, Yvnyanyoti and Margalef). Among the types of forest, the most widespread are green moss-shrub pine forests, and it is precisely the areas with this type of forest that are characterized by the highest indicators of species diversity and richness with peak indicators of the Simpson Index – 0.89; The Shannon-Weaver index is 2.55 and the Margalef index is 3.21. The indicators of the green moss-lichen pine forest, on the contrary, indicate a rather poor species diversity, namely Simpson's index – 0.75; The Shannon-Weaver index is 1.67 and the Margalef index is 1.65. However, this type of forest was characterized by the maximum level of equitability – 0.9. A comparative analysis of the species composition of the studied areas was also carried out to assess beta-diversity using the Jaccard index. Shrub-green moss pine forests with a dominance of blueberry and gorse have the greatest similarity (0.7), as well as green moss-small herbaceous and shrub-green moss pine forests with a blueberry dominance (0.6); the smallest – small-grass pine and green-mosslichen pine (0.2)
Key words: types of diversity, beta-diversity, alpha-diversity, phyto-diversity, Polissia of Ukraine, types of forests.

This article studied the influence of sowing dates of various biological forms of sugar beet on the productivity of root crops in specific soil and climatic conditions. The role of sowing dates on seed germination, the dynamics of the formation and drying of sugar beet leaves, the number of functioning leaves during the growing season, as well as the dynamics of the growth of the leaf surface area of sugar beets depending on varietal characteristics and sowing dates are shown.
Both the lack and the excess of any factor negatively affect the productivity of plants. Therefore, when developing agricultural techniques for crop cultivation, it is important to take into account the timing of sowing, the specifics of the action of mineral fertilizers, the genetic properties of hybrids, climatic and weather conditions, soils, states of organogenesis, phases and interphase periods of plant growth and development.
Operational management of the process of crop formation, taking into account varietal characteristics, during the growing season by selecting the appropriate agrotechnical measures and the terms of their implementation should be carried out taking into account the state of crops and meteorological conditions. The scientific basis for agrotechnical measures is the theory of the dynamics of crop formation.
It was established that during the early sowing period, the reserves of productive moisture and nutrient reserves in the soil in the first half of the growing season are greater than in the later ones, which ensures the rapid development of the root system, the growth of the leaf surface, the increase in the mass of root crops and the accumulation of sugar in them. The highest yield of root crops and sugar yield per hectare was obtained when sowing triploid hybrid Okhtyrskyi and diploid hybrid ICB 0902 during the first sowing periods. Sowing beets five days later reduced yield by 3.8 t/ha and sugar content by 0.1 %. Late sowing dates sharply reduced the yield and sugar content of root crops.
Key words: sugar beet, germination, yield, oneseeded, sugar content, sugar collection.

According to the classic Windkessel model, arterial system is assumed to be an elastic chamber that only acts as a channel and buffer for blood circulation, and heart is the only power source. The Studies have shown that the heart of a healthy person at rest pumps 5 - 6 L/min of blood, and the amount of blood needed is 7.6 - 9.1×10^3 Kg per day, however, cardiac output power at rest is only about 0.9 to 1.9 W. It's impossible for the heart pump blood through the entire body by such low power. We believe that there are other sources of energy in the body for blood circulation, including that from the active elastic arterial system.
