A brief history of Pakistan–USSR bilateral relations 1947–1991
Authors: Shah Muhammad Naveed Ul Hasan , Mahsud Muhammad Irfan , Hamza Azadar Ali
Published: March 2021

Pakistan, since 1947 remains under the umbrella of US, as a result, relations of Pakistan were not smooth with anti US states including USSR. The US was to increase its role in the region in order to make secure the largest petroleum reserves in the Persian Gulf. Pakistan’s alignment with the western world was mainly to counter possible Indian aggression, not to lessen the Soviet influence in the region, but the approach was more or less thwarting Soviet interests in the region. Over 3 million Afghan refugees had travelled to Pakistan in the 1st year of Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. The main objective of the USA during the initial stages of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was primarily to ensure that the Soviet exercise would be a costly one. The United States of America supported Afghan militants with the help of Pakistan to organize them against the USSR. A general perception is that US did not want to be directly involved to thwart the Soviet invasion; rather USA handed over the operational aspect of the program to the Pakistan. The Pakistan was in charge of providing the funds and weapons to the mujahedin and setting up training camps. The US remained indecisive over the next course of action in Afghanistan and the Pakistan took the opportunity to carry out its own agenda in Afghanistan to promote their national interests.
Differential expression of MMP11 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding the matrix metallopeptidase 11, MMP11, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. MMP11 was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. MMP11 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of MMP11 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal A and luminal B subtype cancer, but in a contrary manner. MMP11 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

COVID-19 and Ebola Reclassification as Novel Acute Immune Deficiency Syndrome (n-AIDS): Potential Curative Role for Immunomodulators.
Authors: Kelleni Mina
Published: March 2021

Updated, peer reviewed and published at Immunologic Researchhttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs12026-021-09219-y In this manuscript, a suggested reclassification of COVID-19, Ebola virus disease, Nipah virus infection, SARS, and MERS to be considered as a novel acute onset immune dysrhythmia syndrome (n-AIDS) due to altered monocytic, Th1/Th2 as well as cytokines and chemokines balances is provided. n-AIDs is postulated to be the cause of the acute respiratory distress syndrome and multi-inflammatory syndrome described with COVID-19 and potential curative immunomodulators are described for the mentioned diseases as well as for other disorders caused by Th1/Th2 imbalance. Meanwhile, para COVID-19 syndrome is a suggested to describe various immune-related disorders that are associated with SARS CoV-2 infection whether before or after recovery and to embrace a potential of a latent infection that might be discovered later as occurred with Ebola virus disease. Notably, our hypothesis has evolved out of our real-life practice that uses immunomodulatory drugs to manage COVID-19 safely and effectively. Notably, abnormal cytokine, known and yet to be discovered, dependent lymphocyte distraction (clinically manifested by lymphopenia) into (causing ARDS) or away from the lungs (causing multiple inflammatory syndrome) has been early suggested by the author to reason for COVID-19 pathogenesis and we would like to suggest that SARS, MERS and SARS CoV-2; the three virulent RNA corona viruses which emerged in the past two decades, which are also anticipated to be joined by other potentially fatal similar viruses, and Ebola virus disease as well as Nipah virus infection should be considered for a novel immunopathological reclassification that acknowledges their main cause of complications and/or fatalities to be related to their peculiar immune monocytic, Th1/Th2, and potentially other immune cells dysrhythmia that though seems hyperactive, it is practically deficient/incompetent ultimately leading to an acute potentially fatal response; n-AIDS and probable latent effects as recently shown for Ebola and necessitates further investigations to be fully explored for SARS CoV-2; para COVID-19 syndrome.

ABSTRACTShepherding is not in the form of ministry but how we convey the content of the gospel to the congregation well. It is clear that in the delivery of the gospel requires a good communication skills. But in the pastoring of public communication does not solve the solution.Hence, shepherding communication aims to develop and foster awareness of good communication as a vital tool that determines the success of an authoritative shepherd, who is respected, loved and cherished by the congregation for being able to create a good atmosphere between himself as a servant of God with church members as God's people and society at large in the ministry.Pastoral communication is anything to do with pastoral methods and approaches to create mutual understanding between shepherd and congregation members as well as among members of the congregation with pastors within the scope of the local church service.The importance of improving communication in shepherding is not only necessary for the underprivileged, but talking about pastoral communication means talking about a skill for someone to convey a message. So pastoral communication is required by every pastor, elder and other minister of God who is fluent or not equipped to be equipped with the ability to convey messages.
The accessory protein of the IL-18 receptor, IL-18 RAP, is differentially expressed and up-regulated in the bone metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

To understand the transcriptional nature of metastasis to disparate sites in human breast cancer, we mined published microarray data (1, 2), comparing global gene expression profiles of metastasis to the bones and to the lymph nodes. We discovered that the IL-18 receptor accessory protein, encoded by IL18RAP, was among the genes whose expression was most different, transcriptome-wide, in bone and lymph node metastases. IL18RAP mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in metastasis to the bone as compared to metastasis to the lymph nodes. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that expression of IL18RAP in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival, in lymph node negative patients but not in lymph node positive patients. Signal transduction through the IL-18 receptor may be important in understanding basic differences between the transcriptional composition of metastasis to the lymph nodes and to the bones in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Active Working Memory and Simple Cognitive Operations
Authors: Kreither Johanna , Papaioannou Orestis , Luck Steven J
Published: March 2021

Working memory is thought to serve as a buffer for ongoing cognitive operations, even in tasks that have no obvious memory requirements. This conceptualization has been supported by dual-task experiments, in which interference is observed between a primary task involving short-term memory storage and a secondary task that presumably requires the same buffer as the primary task. Little or no interference is typically observed when the secondary task is very simple. Here, we test the hypothesis that even very simple tasks require the working memory buffer, but interference can be minimized by using activity-silent representations to store the information from the primary task. We tested this hypothesis using dual-task paradigm in which a simple discrimination task was interposed in the retention interval of a change detection task. We used contralateral delay activity (CDA) to track the active maintenance of information for the change detection task. We found that the CDA was abruptly disrupted following the interposed task. Despite this disruption of active maintenance, we found that performance in the change detection task was only slightly impaired, suggesting that activity-silent representations were used to retain the information for the change detection task. A second experiment replicated this result and also showed that automated discriminations could be performed without producing a large CDA disruption. Together, these results suggest that simple but non-automated discrimination tasks require the same processes that underlie active maintenance of information in working memory.
The moral self-concept in preschool children: its dimensions and relation to prosocial behaviors
Authors: Sticker Regina M. , Christner Natalie , Pletti Carolina , Paulus Markus
Published: March 2021

Recent theories have highlighted the relevance of the moral self-concept (MSC) for prosocial behavior. Its early development and internal structure is still unknown, though. With two studies, we aimed to investigate the structure of the MSC in early childhood. Furthermore, we explored prosocial behavioral correlates (helping, sharing, comforting). In a first study, we explored four- to six-year-olds (N = 127). We assessed explicit (puppet-interview) and implicit (IAT) measures of the MSC and observed child behavior. Our results show that MSC was independent from other self-concept domains. The three prosocial dimensions (helping, sharing and comforting) appear to be represented within the MSC separately. While the IAT yielded no significant relations with behaviors, the explicit MSC was meaningfully related to prosocial behavior. The second study (N = 314) underscores the results of the first, by replicating the factor structure of the MSC in confirmatory factor analysis. In conclusion, the studies underscore the MSC’s different dimensions and their relations to prosocial behaviors in preschool children.
The Double-Edged Sword of Loyalty
Authors: Berry Zachariah , Lewis Neil Anthony , Sowden Walter J.
Published: March 2021

Loyalty has long been associated with being moral and upstanding, but recent research has begun documenting how loyalty can lead us to do unethical things. Here we offer an integrative perspective that explains when and why loyalty leads to both ethical and unethical outcomes. We suggest that a variety of bottom-up and top-down psychological processes lead us to be loyal to people and organizations we have obligations to, and that these processes operate in ways that reduce the cognitive dissonance that we experience in situations in which our loyalties conflict with other moral principles. In this article, we articulate what loyalty is, describe the typical objects of our loyalty, explain the mental processes involved in navigating loyalty dilemmas, and end by offering an integrative perspective that illuminates why loyalty leads to both ethical and unethical outcomes.
Should I ‘check my emotions at the door’ or express how I feel? Role of emotion regulation versus expression by male leaders speaking out against sexism in the workplace
Authors: Warren Meg Aum , Sekhon Tejvir , Winkelman Katie M. , Waldrop Rachael J
Published: March 2021

In response to prejudiced behaviors, the emotional experience of leaders influences whether and how they confront prejudice, but more importantly, their emotional expression serves a crucial communicative function to signal to observers the motivations and characteristics of the leaders and the organization. A qualitative study of exceptional allies revealed that even those committed to confronting prejudice are afraid to do so because of impression management and relational concerns. When they do act, their emotional experiences of empathic sadness on behalf of the stigmatized target or anger toward the transgressor spur action whereas not intervening leads to feelings of guilt. However, they struggle with regulating these emotions due to the belief that non-emotional confrontations are better received by others. On the contrary, two experimental studies showed that the same verbal confrontation accompanied by anger (versus not) is viewed as more sincere and in fact, improves the impressions of the leader and the organization.
Pinging reveals active, not silent, working memories
Authors: Barbosa Joao , Soldevilla Diego Lozano , Compte Albert
Published: March 2021

Persistently active neurons during mnemonic periods have been regarded as the mechanism underlying working memory maintenance. Alternatively, neuronal networks could instead store memories in fast synaptic changes, thus avoiding the biological cost of maintaining an active code through persistent neuronal firing. Such ‘activity-silent’ codes have been proposed for specific conditions in which memories are maintained in a non-prioritized state, as for unattended but still relevant short-term memories. A hallmark of this ‘activity-silent’ code is that these memories can be reactivated from silent, synaptic traces. Evidence for ‘activity-silent’ working memory storage has come from human electroencephalography, in particular from the emergence of decodability (EEG reactivations) induced by visual impulses (termed pinging) during otherwise “silent” periods. Here, we re-analyze EEG data from such pinging studies. We find that the originally reported absence of memory decoding reflects weak statistical power, as decoding is possible based on more powered analyses or reanalysis using alpha power instead of raw voltage. This reveals that visual pinging EEG ‘reactivations’ occur in the presence of an electrically active, not silent, code for unattended memories in these data. This crucial change in the evidence provided by this dataset prompts a reinterpretation of the mechanisms of EEG reactivations. We provide two possible explanations backed by computational models, and we discuss the relationship with TMS-induced EEG reactivations.

Published: March 2021

Background: Knowing the rate of psychological distress and mental disorders, its severity, and factors associated with psychological distress is strategical during the COVID-19 pandemic.Method: We analyzed online cross-sectional data from 164,881 health professionals and from 5,635 participants from the general population in Brazil. The Global Severity Index (GSI) from the Brief Symptom Inventory, self-reported diagnosis of mental disorders, sociodemographic characteristics, and factors related to COVID-19 (physical health status, diagnosis and contact history, perceptions and concerns, and precautionary measures) were compared between samples. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate factors related to GSI scores.Results: Psychological distress was high or very high in 13.4% of health professionals and in 31.4% of the general population. Health professionals reported a lower rate of mental disorders (36%) compared with the general population (44.7%). Age (younger) and gender (female) predicted higher psychological distress for health professionals and economic class (lower) and household size (more members) for the general population. People with higher GSI scores reported to have experienced more physical symptoms associated with COVID-19, feeling less productive at work, being afraid of transmitting the coronavirus to the family, fear of financial difficulties, and feeling that home relations were worse during the pandemic outbreak. Limitations: Internet access in Brazil depends on sociodemographic factors, biasing the recruitment towards people with greater education level and income. The male vs. female unbalance (1:4) is a factor to account for when interpreting data. Prevalence of psychiatric disorders was self-declared.Conclusions: Psychological distress at the first wave of COVID-19 was associated with sociodemographic features and an anxious perception of experiences and thoughts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the importance of being flexible: dynamic brain networks and their potential functional significances
Authors: Safron Adam , Klimaj Victoria , Hipólito Inês
Published: March 2021

In this theoretical review, we begin by discussing brains and minds from a dynamical systems perspective, and then go on to describe methods for characterizing the flexibility of dynamic networks. We discuss how varying degrees and kinds of flexibility may be adaptive (or maladaptive) in different contexts, specifically focusing on measures related to either more disjoint or cohesive dynamics. While disjointed flexibility may be useful for assessing neural entropy, cohesive flexibility may potentially serve as a proxy for self-organized criticality as a fundamental property enabling adaptive behavior in complex systems. Particular attention is given to recent studies in which flexibility methods have been used to investigate neurological and cognitive maturation, as well as the breakdown of conscious processing under varying levels of anesthesia. We further discuss how these findings and methods might be contextualized within the Free Energy Principle with respect to the fundamentals of brain organization and biological functioning more generally, and describe potential methodological advances from this paradigm. Finally, with relevance to computational psychiatry, we propose a research program for obtaining a better understanding of ways that dynamic networks may relate to different forms of psychological flexibility, which may be the single most important factor for ensuring human flourishing.
“The thought is gonna come and the thought is gonna go”: A qualitative study on how non-meditators learn and apply brief mindfulness-based instructions for food cravings
Authors: Tatar Betül , Pazmanyova Rebeka , Papies Esther K.
Published: March 2021

While brief mindfulness-based interventions have emerged as tools to modulate automatic responding in various domains of health and wellbeing, findings are primarily based on quantitative experimental research. However, these group-level findings do not capture the rich subjective experiences of individuals learning mindfulness. In the following qualitative study, we explored how non-meditators learn and apply brief mindfulness instructions in the domain of food cravings. Ten non-meditators listened to ‘normal viewing’ instructions, which asked them to view foods in the way that they normally would. They then viewed a video of attractive foods, and were interviewed about their experiences of learning and applying the instructions. Next, participants listened to a five-minute recording of mindfulness instructions, viewed another food video while applying the mindfulness instructions, and were interviewed again. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. When participants applied brief mindfulness, their relationship to the food stimuli changed such that they started perceiving their experiences as transient. Certain factors (e.g., use of visual metaphors) and processes (e.g., listening to the ‘normal viewing’ instructions first) facilitated this change. The ease of applying the instructions fluctuated with food preferences and perceived strength of cravings. Participants reported that they would apply the instructions in daily life if they felt a need for this, including in domains other than food. However, they anticipated challenges such as remembering and finding time to apply. Our findings highlight the specific aspects that influence how brief mindfulness instructions are learned and applied. These insights may change how brief mindfulness is studied empirically, and may inform the development of simple and empowering techniques that can promote wellbeing in daily life.
Socialscape Ecology: Integrating social factors into spatially-explicit marine conservation planning
Authors: Baker-Médard Merrill , Concannon Katherine , Gantt Courtney , Moen Sierra , White Easton R
Published: March 2021

Conservation planning is the process of locating, configuring, implementing and maintaining areas that are managed to promote the persistence of biodiversity. In this review, we analyze the ways in which social processes have been integrated into Marxan, a spatially explicit reserve design planning tool. Drawing on 89 peer-reviewed articles published 2005-2020, we analyze the ways in which human activity, values, and processes are spatialized in the environment; something we call socialscape ecology. To quantify this, we used nine categories including three count categories (social costs, targets, and parameters) and six rank categories (reliance on proxies versus direct observation, integration of temporal change, inclusion of sea tenure, analysis across scale, provisioning analysis, and stakeholder participation). We show that remarkably little change occurred over time across eight of the nine categories. One exception to this was an increase in number of studies that integrated temporal variation in their analysis. Ultimately, we argue that greater attention to and integration of social processes and variables into Marxan will improve marine managers’ understanding of not only the ecological but also the social, cultural and political processes that influence the social and ecological success of marine conservation efforts.
Precarious Parental Employment, Economic Hardship, and Parenting and Child Happiness Amidst Pandemic
Authors: Han Wen-Jui , Hart Jake
Published: March 2021

As labor markets in recent decades have become increasingly volatile and precarious, more workers are susceptible to working conditions threatening their economic security. We examined the association between precarious parental employment, income or job loss, and parenting and child happiness during COVID-19 pandemic. We collected an online cross-sectional dataset collected in May 2020 in the United States to examine parental views on childrearing and child happiness, controlling for a rich set of sociodemographic characteristics. Our multivariate regression analysis indicate that two aspects of job precarity related to feeling vulnerable at work and receiving low material rewards from work, and losing job or income due to COVID-19 were significantly associated with a less positive view on childrearing and lower degree of child happiness reported by parents. Our analysis underscores the vulnerability faced by our parents at workforce and how a public health crisis magnified the dire consequences of a precarious job on parenting and child happiness.

Nos dias de hoje, tudo que é gerado tem seu registro, quando pessoas nascem acontece o registro do seu nascimento, quando uma empresa nasce precisa ser registrada, assim como uma peça é produzida ela também vai ter seu registro de alguma forma. Tudo isso são documentos, arquivos, informações de extrema importância. São produzidas grandes quantidades de informações nas empresas, desde seus documentos até suas atividades rotineiras. Infelizmente a forma de armazenagem nem sempre é organizada e não recebem os devidos cuidados. A gestão do acervo de documentos de uma empresa também pode prejudicar a saúde do profissional que precisa manusear diariamente os documentos em busca de atender as necessidades de informações solicitadas pela empresa que o produziu, ou de usuários que buscam a informação. A terceirização de documentos cuida e trata com procedimentos especializados, organiza e gerencia de forma apropriada e eficaz para o mantimento dos documentos. E com tudo isso a empresa paga mais barato pela guarda do documento, liberando um enorme espaço no estoque. E o principal sem colocar seus trabalhadores em risco.
