Authors: Uranova N. A. , Vikhreva O. V.
Published: October 2023

Background: schizophrenia is associated with neuroinflammation and dysregulation of the immune system involving microglia. The study of microglial reactivity in schizophrenia is at an early stage. The results of neuroimaging and postmortem studies are contradictory. Aim of the study: to analyze and summarize the results of morphometric studies of the microglial reactivity at the ultrastructural level in postmortem prefrontal cortex in schizophrenia compared to healthy controls. Material and methods: the study was performed in layer 5 of the prefrontal cortex in 21 cases of schizophrenia and 20 control cases using transmission electron microscopy and morphometry. Results and conclusion: we found that chronic schizophrenia is characterized by a combination of signs of activation, progressive dystrophy and accelerated aging of microglia. The reactivity of microglia in schizophrenia is associated with age, the age of onset of the disease, the duration of the disease and the type of course of the disease, which indicates the participation of microglia in the pathological process in schizophrenia. Damage and deficit mitochondria and the disturbance of energy metabolism can play a key role in microglial dysfunction in schizophrenia.

Published: October 2023

Background: the results of studying the role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of chronic mental disorders guide the scientific search for ways to apply conceptual notions to clinical practice. The aim: to present an overview of clinical and biological studies conducted jointly by clinicians and employees of the Laboratory of Neuroimmunology of the FSBSI “Mental Health Research Centre” and aimed at determination of the significance of immune biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of various types of mental pathology. Method: the methodological equipment of this study is provided by the use of the original “Neuro-immuno-test” medical technology, developed at the FSBSI “Mental Health Researh Centre”, in comparison with the clinical data. Results and discussion: summarizing the results of many years of research showed that various inflammatory markers, determined in the blood of patients, can be used to assess the level of inflammation in the brain. Studies in various groups of patients showed that the level of these markers reflected the severity and acuteness of the pathological process in the brain and correlated with the characteristics of the clinical symptoms of patients. The most significant for an objective assessment of the clinical status of patients and the prognosis of the course of the disease are not individual inflammatory markers, but their combinations and ratios. It was found that the quantitative change in immunological parameters was ahead of the change in clinical indicators, confirming their prognostic significance. Elevated blood markers at the stages of the disease, preceding the development of pronounced clinical symptoms, can serve as an objective criterion for the presence of a current pathological process in the brain of patients with a high risk of manifestation of endogenous psychosis. The conducted immunological studies using the “Neuro-Immuno-Test” technology revealed different activation of the immune system in patients with cognitive impairment of varying severity, i.e. from mild cognitive impairment to dementia in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Conclusion: differences in immunophenotypes, which have certain quantitative and qualitative features of the spectrum of inflammatory and autoimmune markers, found using the “Neuro-Immuno-Test”, are extremely important both for diagnosis and prognosis, and for therapy optimization.
La medicina tradizionale cinese nella guerra moderna (1937-1945)
Authors: Pi Kuo-li
Published: October 2023

Esistono molte ricerche sulla guerra sino-giapponese tra il 1937 e il 1945, anche se la maggior parte di esse si è concentrata sui militari e la diplomazia. Negli ultimi anni sono state condotte rilevanti ricerche storico-culturali. Questo lavoro si concentra sulla medicina cinese durante la guerra, tentando di esplorare problemi raramente toccati nella letteratura sulla storia della medicina cinese: in particolare, il rapporto tra medicina cinese, guerra e paese. È un fatto indiscutibile che la moderna medicina cinese fosse in ritardo nello sviluppo delle tecniche chirurgiche e della conoscenza della fisiologia. Lo scoppio della guerra sino-giapponese, tuttavia, ha portato la comunità medica cinese ad iniziare a pensare al collegamento tra la conoscenza tradizionale e la sopravvivenza del paese, nonché al trattamento dei pazienti feriti durante i periodi di guerra. Questa ricerca ha permesso di scoprire che i medici riflettevano costantemente sulla loro conoscenza della chirurgia, del primo soccorso e dei farmaci della medicina antica, sperando di giocare un ruolo attivo in tempo di guerra. Inoltre, la comunità medica cinese ha cercato di aprire nuove scuole e ospedali per far progredire la conoscenza della medicina cinese all’interno della società. La maggior parte dei medici credeva che la medicina cinese non avrebbe dovuto essere assente durante le guerre e i disastri nazionali. Oltre ad arricchire la ricerca sulla storia medica cinese, questo lavoro mira anche ad integrare la discussione attuale sulla storia della guerra sino-giapponese, che è stata tradizionalmente distorta attraverso gli aspetti politici e militari, fornendo così un quadro più completo di questo periodo.
Uno studio sul Servizio meteorologico costiero del Servizio Marittimo Cinese
Authors: Xu Wenxin
Published: October 2023

Nel 1869, al fine di garantire la sicurezza della navigazione e sviluppare la meteorologia, Robert Hart, ispettore generale delle dogane cinesi, progettò di introdurre l’osservazione meteorologica fra i compiti delle Dogane. Dopo il successivo arrivo di strumenti meteorologici, talenti e registri in Cina, i servizi doganali iniziarono ad effettuare osservazioni meteorologiche continue su larga scala dal 1 gennaio 1874 al 1950 circa. Durante decenni di servizi meteorologici, le Dogane hanno gradualmente stabilito una serie di flussi di lavoro unificati e standardizzati tra cui l’osservazione, la registrazione, l’invio e la ricezione di dati meteorologici, nonché la visualizzazione e la presentazione delle previsioni meteorologiche secondo gli standard internazionali. Di conseguenza, fu costruita una complessa rete tecnica e sociale in cui le dogane erano sia produttori che consumatori di previsioni meteorologiche. Questo lavoro utilizza gli archivi documentari per analizzare come un sapere occidentale, la gestione del servizio meteorologico doganale, si è sedimentato nella Cina tradizionale.
La letteratura sulle relazioni fra “uomo e natura” prima dell’onda ambientalista (1869-1960)
Authors: Paolini Federico
Published: October 2023

Questo intervento presenta i risultati di un esperimento empirico il cui obiettivo era quello di verificare quali esiti avesse restituito una ricerca bibliografica condotta utilizzando i soggetti “uomo e natura” e “uomo e ambiente naturale” nel catalogo Opac, con un arco temporale limitato al 1960. È stata individuata una produzione editoriale esigua, ma già in linea con le tematiche che caratterizzano il dibattito odierno sulla “crisi ecologica”. I criteri applicati hanno permesso di individuare opere scritte da alcuni autori che, travalicando i confini del pensiero ecologico, non sono citati dalla letteratura storico-ambientale in quanto sostengono interpretazioni difformi dai paradigmi utilizzati da quella storiografia.

Objective The suicide rate in Korea was the highest among countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in 2019. In a previous study, higher intake of vegetables and fruits was associated with a lower risk of suicidal ideation, and carotene-rich fruits and vegetables lowered the risk of depression. This study aimed to examine the direct relationship between carotene intake and suicidal ideation, adjusting for the effect on depression.Methods This study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted in 2012, 2013, and 2015. Carotene intake was assessed through a food intake frequency survey with a 24-hour recall. Suicidal ideation and depression were assessed using the mental health section of the KNHANES. We applied logistic regression to assess the relationship between carotene intake and suicidal ideation, adjusting for potential confounders.Results A total of 5,480 females aged 19–64 years were included in this study. Carotene intake was significantly lower in the suicidal ideation group (3,034.5±1,756.4 μg/day) than in the nonsuicidal ideation group (3,225.4±1,795.1 μg/day) (p=0.015). We found a significant inverse association between carotene intake and the risk of suicidal ideation after adjusting for potential confounders (odds ratio=0.934, 95% confidence interval=0.873–0.999).Conclusion These results suggest that carotene intake may be inversely associated with the risk of suicidal ideation. Our findings may inform the development of new nutritional interventions to prevent increases in the risk of suicide worldwide.

Construction of a three-parameter encryption scheme on Hermitian groups in the MST3 cryptosystem
Authors: Kotukh Y. , Khalimov G. , Korobchinsky М.
Published: October 2023

The article proposes a method for constructing a three-parameter encryption scheme based on Hermitian groups, which improves the security parameters of the existing MST3 cryptosystem. The challenge of improving existing approaches to building cryptosystems is driven by successes in building a quantum computer with sufficient computing power to render many public-key cryptosystems insecure. In particular, we are talking about those cryptosystems based on the complexity of factorization or the discrete logarithm problem, such as RSA, ECC, etc. There are several proposals that have become classic over the past almost 20 years for using non-commutative groups to build quantum-resistant cryptosystems The unsolvable word problem is an interesting area of research for cryptosystem construction. It was formulated by Wagner and Magyarik and lies in the plane of application of permutation groups. Logarithmic signatures (LS) were proposed by Magliveras. In this context, the logarithmic signature is a special type of factorization, it is applied to finite groups. The latest version of this implementation is known as MST3 and is based on the Suzuki group.

In 2008, Magliveras demonstrated a transitive limit of LS for the MST3 cryptosystem. Svaba later proposed the eMST3 cryptosystem with improved security options. A secret homomorphic cover was added for this improvement. Then, in 2018, T. van Trung proposed an MST3 approach using strong aperiodic LS for abelian p-groups. Kong and colleagues conducted an extensive analysis of MST3 and noted that since there are no publications yet on the quantum vulnerability of the algorithm, it can be considered a candidate for the post-quantum era.

One valuable idea is to improve encryption efficiency by optimizing the computational overhead. This is done while reducing the large size of the key space. This approach can be applied to LS calculations outside the center of the group. And this was done over the final fields of the small dimensions using groups with high order.
Влияние внутриполитических факторов в различных странах на социально-политическую дестабилизацию: опыт количественного анализа
Authors: Горюнова Мария , Билюга Станислав , Зинькина Юлия
Published: October 2023

The events of the early 2000s showed that the technologies for changing power through ‘color revolutions’ mostly work in developing countries characterized, among other things, by a long period of rule of one leader. The objective of this study is to study, using quantitative methods, the existence of relationships and patterns between the duration of a leader's staying in power and the integral index of socio-political destabilization in various countries. The statistical analysis carried out showed that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between the indicator of the duration of the leader’s continuous rule and the integral index of socio-political destabilization in countries that are partial autocracies. It is known ‘intermediate’ countries that are in the process of transition to modern institutional democracy (or formally striving for such a transition, declaring it) are the most vulnerable to destabilization. Our study shows that one of the factors that increase the likelihood of instability in such countries is long stay of the leader in power. It should be noted that from the point of view of political science, Russia is a developed state with a complex and well-established political culture, capable of effectively resisting attempts to destabilize by organizing ‘color revolutions’.

Published: October 2023

The presented work is a kind of mix (synthesis) of the scientific and organizational components of the activities of the ‘Global Problems’ section of the Scientific Council under the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences on the complex problem ‘Philosophical and social problems of science and technology’, and the author's personal impressions of cooperation with its leaders – Vadim Valentinovich Zagladin (1927–2006) and Ivan Timofeevich Frolov (1929–1999). It is with their names that the emergence in the early 1980s is connected and the subsequent constructive dynamism of Marxist studies in the field of global problems, partially curtailed with the collapse of the Soviet Union, and revived at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries in the form of the phenomenon of global processes.
Genetic diversity of barley accessions from East Asian countries in terms of resistance to powdery mildew
Authors: Abdullaev R. A. , Lukina K. A. , Batasheva B. A. , Kovaleva O. N. , Radchenko E. E.
Published: October 2023

Background. Barley is an ancient crop currently cultivated in more than 100 countries. High adaptability makes it possible to cultivate it in environments unfavorable for many other crops. At the same time, fungal diseases can have a negative impact on its grain yield and quality. One of the most harmful is the fungus Blumeria graminis (DC.) Golovin ex Speer f. sp. hordei Marchal. The pathogen can overcome a cultivar’s resistance, resulting in significant harvest losses. There is a need for a constant search for new effective sources of resistance to powdery mildew for barley breeding.

Materials and methods. A set of 950 barley accessions from the East Asian center of the crop’s morphogenesis were studied at the adult stage of plant development. They were screened and crossed in the fields of Pushkin and Pavlovsk Laboratories of VIR (St. Petersburg, Russia). Genetic control of barley resistance to B. graminis was analyzed in a climate chamber under artificial infection pressure with the northwestern population of the fungus. Scoring scales were used for screening.

Results and conclusions. Weak development of B. graminis during the heading phase was observed on plants of 38 barley accessions from the East Asian center. High resistance at all stages of development was manifested by 20 genotypes that can be used in breeding programs. Resistance genes in 18 selected forms differed in their effectiveness at the seedling stage of development and during the heading phase. Accessions k-3433, k-10931, k-10934, k-11608, k-17545, k-20272, k-20279, k-20354 and k-27867 had one dominant resistance gene each. Accessions k-11608, k-12278, and k-17545 are protected by the identical gene, while the resistance of k-3433 is induced by a gene that differs from the genes present in accessions k-10931 and k-20279.

Authors: Emelyanova O. Yu. , Tsoy M. P.
Published: October 2023

Background. Cornus mas L. is grown in Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Natural thickets are widespread in the Caucasus. The aim of this work was to analyze ecological and biological features of C. mas and the results of its introduction in order to justify the potential of its valuable agronomic traits for breeding and landscaping in Orel Province.

Methods and materials. Specimens of C. mas preserved in the arboretum of the Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding since 1968 were analyzed. The studies were conducted from 2012 through 2021. Winter hardiness, plant condition, degrees of flowering and fruiting were assessed using conventional techniques, while the degree of ornamentality was determined according to O. Yu. Emelyanova’s method.

Results and conclusion. Under the conditions of the arboretum, C. mas is a multi-stemmed shrub, up to 5.3 m high, with an average crown projection diameter of up to 4.7 m, showing good vitality, active growth, and a high degree of resistance to damaging climatic factors of the winter season. No damage by diseases or pests was observed during the studies. The sum of effective temperatures for the beginning of C. mas flowering was 46.6 ± 2.0°C. Flowering started on April 15 (± 7 days). On average, flowering lasted 17 ± 5 days in the arboretum. Annually, the degree of flowering was high (4.8–5.0 points), and the vigor of fruiting was good (3.8–4.1 points). Peaks of C. mas ornamentality were observed in April, during the early abundant flowering of plants, and in August, during the ripening of fruits. The ornamental period of C. mas was on average 208 (± 12) days. The analysis of ecological and biological features of C. mas under the conditions of Orel Province showed the prospects of this species’ introduction. Formation and study of C. mas collection from neighboring regions will serve as a basis for successful breeding to obtain new cultivars with valuable traits for the conditions of Central Russia.
Genetic diversity of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the allelic composition of HMW-GS (a review)
Authors: Chebatareva M. V.
Published: October 2023

Background. The qualitative composition of wheat grain varies depending on the cultivar, soil and climate conditions, and agricultural practices. The allelic composition of glutenins in bread wheat cultivars is an important parameter for the analysis and management of their genetic structure. In this respect, there is an interest in studying the genetic diversity of alleles of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in bread wheat cultivars from Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.

Materials and methods. The total diversity of alleles in Glu-1 glutenin loci was evaluated according to the calculation of the Nei index (H). Using this indicator and the cluster analysis, wheat cultivars of various ecogeographic origin were distributed into relatively homogeneous groups.

Results. Wheat cultivars from Poland, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, China, and Algeria (Group I) had the average Nei index of 0.59, and those from the U.S., Mexico, Argentina, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ethiopia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, and North Korea (Group II) had 0.42. These groups of wheat cultivars differed in the frequency of occurrence of glutenin subunits at each Glu-1 locus: N, 7+9, 2+12 in Group I, and 2*, 7+9, 5+10 in Group II.

Conclusion. Wheat cultivars from Group II had on average a low level of variability of allelic genes in the respective loci, manifesting high grain quality of these cultivars and the highest probability of their genetic depletion compared to the cultivars from Group I, where most of the cultivars are described by a combination of low-quality glutenin subunits.
Studying the effect of heterosis and predicting the prospects of hybrid spring wheat populations in breeding for productivity and drought resistance
Authors: Volkova L. V. , Amunova O. S.
Published: October 2023

Background. In combination breeding, information about the degree of superiority of hybrids in productivity and drought resistance over their parents in early generations, as well as the possibility of preserving their advantages in subsequent generations, are of great practical interest.

Materials and methods. In 2018–2021, 16 hybrid populations of spring bread wheat of the 1st through 4th generations, obtained from intraspecific crosses among parent cultivars, were studied at the Federal Agricultural Research Center of the NorthEast. The hybrids and their parents were tested in the field for productivity and in the laboratory for drought resistance. Inheritance types were determined by the degree of phenotypic dominance of plant characters. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using correlation and variance analyses.

Results. Hybrids that demonstrated heterosis in the number of grains per ear had an advantage on this basis in subsequent generations. The inheritance type of the 1000 grain weight did not determine the level of this character in older generation hybrids. There was a change in the type of inheritance for the number of radicles during the transition from normal to stressful conditions. Hybrids that showed heterosis in seedling weight in the control and the experiment were distinguished by higher rates in subsequent generations. A significant negative correlation was found between grain yield and the number of radicles formed with a lack of moisture, and a positive correlation between grain yield and the weight of seedlings. Seven promising hybrid combinations fusing productivity with drought resistance were identified.

Conclusion. The analysis of hybrids from early generations according to the degree of phenotypic dominance of the number of grains per ear and number of radicles in the experiment, and the weight of seedlings in the control and the experiment can be quite informative for use in breeding programs.

Published: October 2023

Background. The technology of deep grain processing is based on the use of operations that ensure separation of raw materials into various components and sequential processing of these components into products of high consumer value. The annual volume of deep grain processing products is over 100 million tons. Starch, as the most valuable component of processed grain, is used in the food industry, pharmacy, and in significant amounts for technical purposes. Studying the potential of domestic maize hybrids to provide raw materials for deep grain processing enterprises is a relevant task.

Materials and methods. The material for field and laboratory studies included 17 commercial maize hybrids developed at the P.P. Lukyanenko National Grain Center. The content of starch, protein and oil in grain was measured with infrared spectroscopy on an Infratec 1241 Grain Analyzer. Actual extraction of native starch was implemented using the “plant-on-the-table” method developed at the All-Russian Research Institute of Starch Products, and breeding trials of maize hybrids were carried out in the steppe zone of Kabardino-Balkaria in 2020/2021.

Results. As a result of the research, 13 hybrids with a mass fraction of starch in the range of 70.0–73.2% DM were identified: KR210MV, KR270MV, KR377AMV, KR385MV, KR415MV, ROSS198MV, KR433MV, KR514MV, KR575MV, LYUDMILA, ROSS190MV, and ROSS195MV. Of these, the grain yield in the range of 10–14 t/ha was shown by the hybrids KR270MV, KR315MV, KR377AMV, KR415MV, KR514MV, and KR575MV. In accordance with the results obtained, a number of hybrids can be recommended as source material for breeding and promising raw material for deep grain processing: KR415MV, KR393MV, and ROSS198MV, yielding 90.0–94.4% DW of starch when processed, and KR315MV, with a mass fraction of amylose in starch up to 38.6% DW.

Authors: Сарычев А. Н. , Михальков Д. Е. , Мищенко Е. В. , Резникова О. В. , Попова О. В.
Published: October 2023

В условиях Нижневолжского региона увеличение урожайности с высоким качеством зерна озимой пшеницы возможно только на основе комплексного подхода к разработке и внедрению адаптивных, экологичных технологий выращивания с учетом почвенно-климатических условий. В зоне влияния полезащитных насаждений формируются своеобразные агроклиматические условия, которые дифференцированно изменяются на межполосном пространстве. Под защитой лесных полос увеличивается содержание доступной для растений почвенной влаги в слое почвы 0 – 1,0 м. По сравнению с незащищенным агроценозом количество доступной влаги на лесомелиорируемой территории больше на 15 – 30 мм, а в зоне наибольшего влияния полезащитных насаждений разница достигает до 52 мм. За счет большего влагонакопления на облесненной территории происходит увеличение урожайности озимой пшеницы в среднем на 18 – 20 % по сравнению с опытным участком, на котором отсутствуют полезащитные лесные полосы. Показатели качества зерна озимой пшеницы — количество белка, натура зерна, масса 1000 семян — находятся в прямой зависимости от удаленности от защитных насаждений на межполосном пространстве. Количество белка в зерне в зоне наибольшего влияния лесной полосы достигает 13 %, а без лесных полос не превышает 11,1 %.

Полевые опыты по использованию биологических препаратов при выращивании эхинацеи пурпурной сорта Приморская проводили в Чеченской Республике с 2020 по 2022 г. В опытах использовали стимуляторы роста Эпин и НВ-101. Установлено, что наибольшее количество сухого вещества (15,0 %) в подсушенной массе растений эхинацеи содержалось в варианте без обработки семян стимуляторами роста и опрыскивании посевов в фазу стеблевания водой (контроль). Самое высокое количество протеина и клетчатки содержали растения в варианте обработки семян и опрыскивании посевов в фазу образования стеблей стимулятором роста HB-101 — 12,17 и 20,95 % соответственно; наибольшее количество жира и безазотистого экстрактивного вещества — в контроле — 8,86 и 49,88 % соответственно. В среднем за 3 года наибольшая урожайность подсушенной массы эхинацеи получена в варианте обработки семян и опрыскивании посевов в фазу образования стеблей стимулятором роста HB-101 — 3,22 т/га.

Authors: Egon Kaledio , EUGENE RUSSELL , ROSINSKI JULIA
Published: October 2023

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and art represents a fascinating frontier in the realm of creativity. This exploration delves into the rich historical context of AI in art, from early generative experiments to the latest deep learning breakthroughs. The concept of AI in art is categorized into generative AI, assistive AI, analytical AI, and hybrid approaches, each offering unique opportunities for human-machine collaboration. Through real-world applications spanning visual arts, music, literature, film, and the emerging NFT market, AI has revolutionized creative processes, challenging traditional notions and inspiring new forms of artistic expression. However, it is not without its challenges, such as copyright, biases, and the preservation of authenticity. The future of AI in art and creativity is a journey marked by emerging trends, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and the blurring of lines between creator, machine, and audience. Notable case studies showcase AI's impact, from AI-generated artwork auctioned at high prices to AI-driven music and literature. This dynamic landscape promises to redefine the boundaries of artistic expression, offering both opportunities and ethical considerations as human and machine creativity continue to intertwine.

Published: October 2023

Beyond the challenge of keeping up-to-date with current best practices regarding the diagnosis and treatment of outliers, an additional difficulty arises concerning the mathematical implementation of the recommended methods. Here, we provide an overview of current recommendations and best practices and demonstrate how they can easily and conveniently be implemented in the R statistical computing software, using the *{performance}* package of the *easystats* ecosystem. We cover univariate, multivariate, and model-based statistical outlier detection methods, their recommended threshold, standard output, and plotting methods. We conclude by reviewing the different theoretical types of outliers, whether to exclude or winsorize them, and the importance of transparency.
Two-Year Retest Reliability and Predictive Validity of the Self- and Informant-Personality Inventory for ICD-11 in Older Adults
Authors: Mays Anton Amir , Mills Cameron James , Oltmanns Joshua R.
Published: October 2023

The International Classification of Diseases – 11th edition (ICD-11) adopted a fully dimensional model of personality disorder. The Personality Inventory for ICD-11 (PiCD) and Informant-Personality Inventory for ICD-11 (IPiC) were developed to assess the ICD-11 trait model and the PiCD has since received significant validation support. However, there has only been one prior study of longitudinal predictive validity, two relatively short test-retest reliability studies of the PiCD, and no prior longitudinal tests of the IPiC. Longitudinal psychometric support for psychological assessment measures is essential. The present study provides a longer, larger, two-year psychometric validation test of the PiCD and IPiC. Participants (N = 711) and their informants (N = 569) were recruited in the St. Louis Personality and Aging Network (SPAN). The results demonstrated strong two-year retest reliability for the PiCD and IPiC, as well as mean level stability. Additionally, we explored the relationships between the PiCD and IPiC and important life outcome measures (depressive symptoms, satisfaction with life, and health status). The analysis revealed several significant associations between PiCD and IPiC scales and the outcome variables across time. Further, the PiCD Negative Affectivity and IPiC Detachment scales demonstrated incremental validity over each other and the outcome variables at Wave 1 in the prediction of depressive symptoms and satisfaction with life, respectively. The findings provide essential longitudinal test-retest reliability and predictive validity support for the PiCD and IPiC.
Can we utilize Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate useful linguistic corpora? A case study of the word frequency effect in young German readers

Can a measure of word frequency (i.e., how often a word occurs) based on text generated by a large language model (LLM) model the well-studied word frequency effect in reading? To study this, we created a large corpus of text generated by an LLM (GPT 3.5) to measure word frequency. We prompted it to write stories in German directed to children using the titles of 500 popular books, so that the corpus would follow the structure of an existing corpus based on books written for children (childLex). The generated text had a lower lexical richness than the text in childLex. We then used reading performance data from German children (i.e., reaction times in a lexical decision task) to investigate the effect of LLM word frequency in visual word recognition. We found that LLM word frequency explained more variance in reaction times when compared to the word frequency measure based on the original children's books (Experiment 1) and also when compared to a word frequency measure based on adult-directed LLM text (Experiment 2). We conclude that LLM corpora are less lexically rich while approximating children's lexical processing well. We discuss the potential of this approach, considering the inevitable risks of using LLMs that lack openness, are highly complex, and need a large amount of resources.
Enhanced multisensory gain in older adults may be a by-product of inverse effectiveness: Evidence from a speeded response-time task
Authors: Schneeberger Laura , Lynn Alyssa , Scarcelli Vanessa , Seif Ala , Stevenson Ryan A
Published: October 2023

Older adults experience a greater benefit from multisensory integration than their younger counterparts, but it is unclear why. One hypothesis is that age-related sensory decline weakens unisensory stimulus effectiveness, causing a boost in multisensory gain through inverse effectiveness. Many previous studies present stimuli at the same intensity for both younger and older adults (i.e., stimulus-matched), as opposed to accounting for each participant’s unique perceptual ability (i.e., perception-matched). This makes it difficult to discern the source of age-related differences in multisensory gain. As such, we used two experiments to examine whether sensory decline is driving age-related differences in multisensory gain. In the first, we presented auditory (pure tones in noise), visual (Gabor patches in noise), and audiovisual stimuli and recorded response times from 31 younger (18-15) and 30 older (55-80) adults. Importantly, all participants were given identical stimuli, with the expectation that older adults would show worse unisensory performance, inducing inverse effectiveness. The second task was identical (younger N = 21, older N = 34), except stimuli were presented at each participant’s 50% detection threshold, identified with an adaptive psychophysical staircase, controlling for any influence of inverse effectiveness. Older adults were found to exhibit greater multisensory gain (as measured by race-model violations) on stimulus- but not perception-matched tasks, thus aligning with the principle of inverse effectiveness. That is, when accounting for potential age-related differences in perceptual abilities, older adults no longer experienced greater benefit from multisensory integration.

Scholars have been working through multiple avenues to address longstanding and entrenched patterns of global and racial exclusion in psychology and academia more generally. As part of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology’s efforts to enhance inclusive excellence in its journals, the Anti Colorism/Eurocentrism in Methods and Practices (ACEMAP) task force worked to develop recommendations and resources to counteract racism and global exclusion in standard publication practices. In this paper, the task force describes a structure and process we developed for conducting committee work that centers marginalized perspectives while mitigating cultural taxation. We then describe our recommendations and openly accessible resources (e.g., resources for inclusive reviewing practices, writing about constraints on generalizability, drafting a globally inclusive demographic information survey, inclusive citation practices, and improving representation among editorial gatekeeping positions; recommendations and resource links are provided in Table 3). This paper provides concrete plans for readers looking to enhance inclusive excellence in their committee work, authorship, reviewing, and/or editing.
El derecho de goce del periodo de lactancia de la mujer trabajadora en la legislación mexicana
Authors: Díaz Ávila Marisol
Published: October 2023

En México las mujeres trabajadoras, a partir de la reforma a la Ley Federal del Trabajo, en su artículo 170 del año 2012, gozan del derecho para ejercer la lactancia materna por un periodo de tiempo de hasta seis meses, que, de acuerdo con el argumento de los legisladores, tiene como principal motivo el fomento a la convivencia entre el recién nacido y su madre. En contraste con lo establecido por esta disposición legal, la Ley del Seguro Social, en su artículo 94, establece que el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) otorgará ayuda en especie por seis meses para lactancia y, durante ese mismo periodo de tiempo, la trabajadora podrá optar entre contar con dos reposos extraordinarios por día, de media hora cada uno, o bien, de una hora, para amamantar a su hijo en un lugar adecuado e higiénico en el centro de trabajo. Las disposiciones legales no precisan ni toman en cuenta los beneficios que la leche materna ofrece a los neonatos, sobre todo durante el primer año de vida, como lo ha resaltado la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en el marco de la semana mundial de la lactancia materna, en su edición de 2023 a la mujer trabajadora, afirmando que no es impedimento alguno laborar para poder amamantar.
