The Revised Moral Foundations in Iran: Validation and Sociodemographic Correlates
Authors: Hazrati Mahsa , Nejat Pegah , Daneshi Ali
Published: September 2024

As a culture-sensitive theory in moral psychology, Moral foundations theory (MFT) has generated a considerable volume of studies since its inception. The theory has very recently been refined by splitting the Fairness foundation to Equality and Proportionality, leading to the introduction of a second version of its corresponding questionnaire, namely, Moral Foundations Questionnaire-2 (MFQ-2). Given the low internal consistencies of a number of moral foundations in the former version of the questionnaire (i.e., Moral Foundations Questionnaire-1), the present study aimed to examine psychometric properties of the Persian MFQ-2, including its relation to MFQ-1. Data were collected from two separate samples (N1 = 381, N2 = 989). Internal consistencies of the subscales were acceptable and comparable to those from cross-cultural studies, in addition to showing an improvement over MFQ-1. Exploratory factor analysis led to four factors, with Loyalty, Authority and Purity loading on one, and Care, Equality and Proportionality each loading on a separate factor. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested acceptable fit for the proposed six-factor model and a number of second-order two-factor models. Subscales were most strongly related to their corresponding MFQ-1 subscales, confirming their convergent validity. We also replicated and went beyond the existing literature on sociodemographic correlates of moral foundations by investigating the relations between the revised set of moral foundations and both religiosity and political orientation in the context of the non-Western Iranian culture. Proportionality had the weakest relations to sociodemographics among all foundations. We close by discussing implications of the findings for the content validity of MFQ-2 foundations and justifiability of labelling them as individualizing and binding foundations.
Do plants behave? Contributions of behaviour analysis to plant neurobiology
Authors: Abalo-Rodríguez Inés , Calvo Paco
Published: September 2024

Plants have traditionally been viewed as passive organisms, primarily reacting to environmental stimuli. However, research over the past century has revealed that plants exhibit a range of sophisticated abilities, such as integrating multiple sources of information, anticipating environmental changes, and communicating with other organisms. This has led to the emergence of plant neurobiology, which argues that physiology alone is not enough to fully comprehend the vast capacities of plants. Consequently, terms like ‘behaviour’, ‘intelligence’ and ‘cognition’ are applied to the plant kingdom, prompting ongoing discussions. As these notions pertain to the psychological realm, this paper incorporates the perspective of behaviour analysis to illuminate the current debate. This framework adopts an emergentist view of psychological phenomena, defending their irreducibility to physiological processes alone. Furthermore, behaviour analysis understands both behaviour and the ‘mind’ as psychological concepts that require learning processes for full comprehension, thereby highlighting their irreducible to physiology due to their distinct nature. Therefore, this approach emphasizes the importance of studying learning processes in plant neurobiology and addressing the methodological challenges it entails. In summary, this paper argues for the relevance of behavioural analysis in broadening our understanding of plant capabilities and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration. By integrating insights from behavioural analysis and plant neurobiology we can advance our understanding of plant intelligence and behaviour, challenging traditional views and enriching the scientific discourse on cognition and interaction in the plant kingdom.
To merge or not: The onto- and phylogenetic origin of co-representation
Authors: Miss Fabia , Santharuban Luxshiha , Willems Erik P. , Burkart Judith M.
Published: September 2024

Co-representation during joint action is a hallmark of human cooperation, but its origin poses a puzzle: It apparently emerges late in ontogeny (around the age of four) suggesting it is cognitively demanding, but it has also been demonstrated in several nonhuman primate species. We reassessed the ontogeny of co-representation in 2-4 years old human children with a language-free task developed for nonhuman primates. Co-representation was already present and strongest in the youngest age class, and not constrained by Theory of Mind and inhibitory control. Together with the primate results, this suggests co-representation emerges spontaneously and automatically, and that not co-representation per se, but the flexibility to adjust when to merge and when not is the fundamental challenge for cooperation success. We show that human children and the most cooperative primates, the cooperatively breeding marmosets, rely on coordination smoothers (marmosets: mutual gaze; children: mutual gaze and communication) to achieve that.
Awareness of being: A computational neurophenomenological model of mindfulness, mind-wandering, and meta-attentional control
Authors: Idei Hayato , Suzuki Keisuke , Yamashita Yuichi
Published: September 2024

Mindfulness has established psychological benefits such as stress reduction and emotional regulation; however, the underlying computational mechanisms, particularly in contrast to mind-wandering, remain unclear. This study aimed to present a hierarchical recurrent neural network-based agent model grounded in the free-energy principle to explore these processes within the framework of allostasis. The model integrates interoceptive, proprioceptive, and exteroceptive predictive processing, which minimizes the variational free energy throughout the past and future contexts. Simulations of resting state showed that inferred (mentally simulated) homeostatic context modulated attentional shifts between a “being” mode (focused on present interoceptive perception) and a “doing” mode (involving proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensorimotor loops). Further, we identified a meta-attentional parameter that controls these shifts by influencing cognitive attitudes towards internally generated beliefs across network modules spanning the past to the future. By manipulating this parameter, we replicated mindfulness states in which attention remained focused on the present interoceptive state despite minimal sensory prediction errors. This study offers insights into the computational dynamics of mindfulness and mind-wandering, laying the groundwork for the future exploration of consciousness and pure awareness, which is a state of consciousness devoid of content.

Published: September 2024

Tourism and tourist activities act as a fundamental element in the GDP of any country therefore, tourists’ perceptions and intentions are proficiently managed using advanced technology and online information to sustain the healthy circle of the economy. This paper analyzes the tourist's perceptions, visit intentions, and familiarity with the destinations by framing the digitalization, and online tourism information quality as predictors. This study utilized a mediated-moderation approach where brand image had a moderating role in the mediation of information quality. This study was conducted within the context of China and the tourists who visited China were accessed using different online databases and other sources to gather their perceptions on a scaled response sheet i.e., a questionnaire. The study used the advanced statistical software Smart-PLS 4.0 for data analysis. In the structural model assessment, the study encountered significant associations for the indirect and moderating relationships and digitalization gained only one significant direct relationship with destination familiarity. In the summary of the findings, the study quoted that tourists have been facilitated with a diverse source of information and they have become highly technologyoriented. Therefore, the managers, policymakers and planners have to use a holistic strategy covering the digitalization element with accurate information to develop a good brand image so that the tourists’ perceptions and intentions can be positively flourished.
Obesity in Adolescents and Young Adults in Chinese Digital Media: Individual Causes, Social Implications, and Policy Perspectives
Authors: Peng Chen
Published: September 2024

This study explores the impact of digital media on the increasing rates of obesity among adolescents and young adults in China. The increasing prevalence of obesity in this demographic has raised concerns about the role of digital media in promoting sedentary behaviors and unhealthy eating habits. Analyzing reasons at personal and social levels, this research aims to elucidate the link between obesity and consumption of digital media. The data was retrieved from national surveyslike CHNS and the CNSSCH, which track obesity patterns over time and highlight new tendencies. Strong association between screen time and obesity rates indicates that bad eating habits and indolent behavior in digital media. As average body mass indices rise from 18.2 kg/m² in 1985 to 19.0 kg/m² in 2005, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Chinese young has drastically raised over the past three decades. The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children aged 7-18 years increased from 1.1% in 1985 to 12.1% and 7.3%, respectively, in 2014. Regional disparities were also noted, with the highest obesity rates observed in urban areas and among males aged 8-13 years. This study is important since it could greatly affect public health policy and educational programs. If authorities intend to reduce the obesity incidence among young Chinese young people and create more successful programs to support good living choices, they must have a greater awareness of the link between digital media and obesity. Still, the study had certain limitations. It depends on already-existing survey data, for example, which might not be reflective of every local trend and behavior. Future research should consider geographical variances and longitudinal investigations.

This study investigates the effects of coach encouragement (CE) on the physical and technical performance of young tennis players. Twenty nationally ranked male tennis players (age: 13.6 ± 0.3 years, height: 160.9 ± 7.9 cm, body mass: 52.5 ± 7.6 kg,) participated in the present study. The physical and technical tests were conducted both with and without CE, using a randomized crossover design. Participants attended two sessions for performance assessments, undergoing a series of tests, including the hit and turn tennis test (HTTT), international tennis number test (ITN), counter-movement jump (CMJ) test, 20-m sprint tests, and the T-drill agility test. A paired t-test results demonstrated significant improvements in VO2max, CMJ height, 20-m sprint times, T-drill agility, and ITN scores under CE conditions compared to tests conducted without CE (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that CE positively influences physical and technical performances. Moreover, the effects of CE were more pronounced in long-duration exercises (HTTT and ITN), highlighting the crucial role of motivational support from coaches in the development of young athletes.

Literature-History Relationship and Genghis Khan in Kazakh Literature
Authors: Söylemez O. , Faruk Ateş Ö.
Published: September 2024

There is a relationship based on mutual interaction between literature and history. As a science, history pursues the truth and is based on documents. Since literature is a branch of art, it is the product of the author's or poet's imagination and presents a fictional world to the reader. There is a boundary between history and literature based on the difference between reality and fiction. No matter how much an author who deals with historical subjects tries to remain faithful to reality, his work is not historical reality but fiction. When examining literary texts, especially those about a historical figure, it is necessary to consider the theory of biography and the relationship between literature and history. Kazakh literature is very rich in historical works. Genghis Khan, one of the most influential figures in world history, attracted the attention of Kazakh poets and writers because he was a ruler who was influential in the geography of Kazakhstan. In this article, after providing theoretical explanations about the relationship of literature with history and biography, we will discuss how the image of Genghis Khan is reflected in the poetry, novel, theater, and story genres in Kazakh literature.

Comparative characteristics of Kazakh, Russian and English phraseological units with components of the sense organs
Authors: Radchuk O.A. , Lapshina N.V.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the comparative characteristics of phraseological units with the components “nose”, “ears”, “eyes”, “tongue”, “skin” in the Kazakh, Russian and English languages. The purpose of this article is to conduct a comparative structural and semantic analysis of phraseological units with components of the sense organs and identify universal and unique features in the compared languages. The study pays attention to what connotation — positive, neutral or negative — each analyzed phraseological unit has in the compared languages. The analysis shows that phraseological units with a negative connotation in each language prevail over phraseological units with a positive or neutral meaning in each language, which indicates that most often phraseological units are created to describe human vices, shortcomings or negative situations in which people find themselves throughout their lives. The study also shows that in most cases, phraseological units in the languages have universal features, since the senses of any person play the same role, and therefore phraseological units with components of the senses express approximately the same meaning. However, in some cases, phraseological units have unique features, which is a clear sign of the national picture of the world.

В данной статье рассматривается гендерная идентичность через призму концептов «мужчина» и «женщина» в их языковом выражении. Трансформационные изменения гендерной идентичности, демонстрирующие современное понимание представлений о мужчинах и женщинах, мы можем проследить в материалах социальных сетей, поскольку появилась возможность для человека в любой точке мира высказать свое мнение через экран монитора. Анализ микроблогов, постов и комментариев позволил прийти к выводу, что такие категории концептов как возраст, моральные качества, внешность, карьера стали по-новому рассматриваться представителями как женского, так и мужского пола. В целях карьерного роста, стремлении достичь больших высот на первое место в социуме выдвигаются новые качества успешного человека. С учетом цифровизации общества стало возможным начать свое дело для любого человека вне зависимости от его возраста, образования, внешнего вида. Текущие изменения актуализируют вопрос о гендерной идентичности и необходимости дальнейшего наблюдения, исследования и сопоставления языковых и культурных изменений, происходящих в обществе и сознании человека. Анализ языковых концептов маскулинности и фемининности позволил выявить  особенности гендерных представлений обоих полов, представленных в материалах социальной сети Твиттер, а также определить современные черты гендерной идентичности. Основным методом исследования послужил метод сплошной выборки. Научная значимость исследования заключается в изучении языковой репрезентации гендерных взаимоотношений полов в разных лингвокультурах. Практическая значимость работы направлена на выявление гендерных проблем в обществе и способах их выражения посредством микроблогов. В ходе исследования отмечено, что гендерная идентичность нового поколения достаточно динамична, быстро развивается под воздействием новых вызовов тысячелетия и создает новые концептуальные ядра маскулинности и фемининности, наделяя личность актуальными чертами, способными конкурировать в межкультурном пространстве.

OBJECTIVE

The oculomotor cistern (OMC) is a meningeal cuff filled with CSF that contains the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve [CN] III) at the level of the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus. Only a few studies have investigated the involvement of the OMC by pituitary adenomas (pituitary neuroendocrine tumors [PitNETs]), mainly with relatively small case series. The aim of this study was to perform a histomorphological description of the OMC and systematically analyze its involvement by PitNETs from radiological, clinical, and surgical perspectives.

METHODS

Ten hemisellae from formalin-fixed specimens were studied with 3-µm sections. Digital image analysis software was used for morphological and quantitative assessments. Clinical, radiological, surgical, and histological data of patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for PitNETs at the University of Brescia, Italy, between 2014 and 2021 were recorded. OMC involvement was graded as not compressed, compressed, and invaded. The same surgical team operated on all patients.

RESULTS

The OMC had an elliptical shape with an average area of 3.1 mm2 and a length of 5.5 mm. No cisternal points of weakness were recognized in the histomorphological study.

Of 315 patients, 246 had complete data: apoplexy and CN III palsy were documented in 6.9% and 8.5%, respectively. OMC compression and invasion were recorded in 106 (43.1%) and 23 (9.3%) patients. Significant associations between OMC involvement and PitNET dimensions (p < 0.001), Knosp grade (p < 0.001), preoperative oculomotor palsy (p < 0.001), Ki-67 percentage (p = 0.009), and recurrence/progression of residual tumor (p = 0.008) were found. A new postoperative CN III palsy was evident in 2%: transient in 4 cases, and persistent in 1 patient treated for a recurrent PitNET who experienced a local infection complication. Preoperative CN III palsy improved in 10 cases.

CONCLUSIONS

Significant OMC involvement by PitNETs might be underrecognized, but it can be treated using the endoscopic transsphenoidal approach, and it affects patient outcomes.
Enhancing surgical precision: a novel electromyography finding for confident identification of the root exit zone during microvascular decompression surgery
Authors: Cho Kyung Rae , Park Soung Wook , Lee Hyun Seok , Park Sang-ku , Park Kwan
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

The lateral spread response (LSR) is an important electrophysiological sign that predicts successful decompression in patients undergoing microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS). However, LSRs do not consistently correlate with clinical outcomes, and there are cases in which LSRs are absent. In this study, the authors identified a unique pattern on facial nerve electromyography (EMG) when the root exit zone (REZ) is touched. This distinctive EMG pattern, which the authors coined the "Sang-ku sign" (SKS), could aid in identifying the offending vessel on the REZ, even in the absence of LSRs.

METHODS

Between November 2022 and August 2023, the authors analyzed EMG findings from 185 patients undergoing MVD for HFS. Bipolar stimulation electrodes were placed at the marginal mandibular branch, and recordings were obtained from the frontalis and orbicularis oris muscles. Additionally, stimulation electrodes were placed at the temporal branch, and recordings were obtained from the oris and mentalis muscles. The authors statistically analyzed the presence of SKS and its association with demographic, surgical, clinical outcomes, and anatomical factors.

RESULTS

The authors observed a brief, burst-like wave pattern arising from all recorded muscle branches when Teflon felt was placed between the REZ and the facial nerve. This EMG pattern, the SKS, was found in 164 patients (88.6%). Among the factors analyzed, only patient age showed a significant association with the presence of the SKS in univariate analysis (p = 0.007). The presence of the SKS was significantly associated with predicting the disappearance of LSRs (p = 0.045). Clinical outcomes were favorable (99% at the last follow-up) in all cases; thus, no positive correlation was observed in the existence of the SKS and LSRs.

CONCLUSIONS

The SKS could serve as an excellent guide for the facial nerve REZ during surgery. Given that HFS results from abnormal vascular contact on the REZ, this finding plays a crucial role in ensuring surgical success. Alongside LSRs, the SKS could provide valuable insights for neurosurgeons.

OBJECTIVE

Because gliomas have poorly defined tumor margins, the ability to achieve maximal resection is limited. To better discern these margins, fluorescence-guided surgery has been used to aid maximal safe resection. The authors describe their experience with the simultaneous use of intraoperative fluorescein sodium (FNa) confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) and operating microscope 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence imaging for glioma resection to improve CLE use for better margin discrimination.

METHODS

FNa CLE and 5-ALA wide-field imaging were used in 33 patients with gliomas. CLE imaging was enhanced with the use of a telesurgical pathology software platform that enables real-time conversation between the operating neurosurgeons and the pathologists located remotely. CLE was used for imaging tumor regions that were subjectively regarded as tumor margins under normal visualization with the operative microscope. After FNa CLE imaging, 5-ALA wide-field imaging was performed in the same regions. Tissue was biopsied at imaging locations, and interpretations of FNa CLE and 5-ALA wide-field imaging were compared to those of permanent histological sections.

RESULTS

Eighty-eight deep- and superficial-margin regions of interest (ROIs) were imaged with FNa CLE and 5-ALA imaging. Most of the ROIs interpreted by the neuropathologist as infiltrative glioma based on FNa CLE imaging lacked 5-ALA–induced fluorescence. Permanent histological sections from the corresponding regions were concordant with the interpretation of FNa CLE images in 57 of 88 (65%) ROIs and with the interpretation of 5-ALA imaging in 43 of 88 (49%) ROIs. The sensitivity and specificity of FNa CLE for the interpretation of tumor margins were 73% and 41%, respectively, and those of 5-ALA were 38% and 82%, respectively. Positive and negative predictive values for CLE were 79% and 33%, respectively, and those for 5-ALA were 86% and 31%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

Conventional intraoperative evaluation of tumor margins, based on MRI and wide-field fluorescence imaging, can underestimate the invasiveness of gliomas. FNa CLE showed higher accuracy in detecting regions with infiltrating tumors than intraoperative 5-ALA imaging. Future considerations should include more rigorous comparisons of FNa CLE imaging and 5-ALA–guided resections on a larger cohort of patients.
Kinetics of chemical reactions in spray
Authors: Fedoseev V. B. , Fedoseeva Е. N.
Published: September 2024

The number of observations demonstrating a significant effect of droplet sizes on the kinetics of chemical processes has increased with the expansion of the scope of application of spray technology. The equations linking the concentrations of reagents, the volume of droplets, the initial composition of the solution, the composition of the gas medium and the speed of processes are formulated within the framework of formal chemical kinetics. Using the example of second-order reactions (coupling, exchange, condensation, polymerization, polycondensation), it is shown that size kinetic effects occur when chemical processes are accompanied by changes in the droplet sizes in equilibrium with the gas medium. The results of computer simulation of condensation reaction and polycondensation process reproducing size effects are presented. Kinetic curves obtained by modeling the polycondensation process are compared with experimental data.

The photocatalytic activity of the g-C3N4 /TiO2 composite samples in the processes of dye (methylene blue) decomposition and hydrogen evolution from an aqueous ethanol solution under the action of visible radiation (400 nm) has been studied. A new original method for the synthesis of the g-C3N4 /TiO2 composite by depositing g-C3N4 /TiO2 to TiO2 nanoparticles during sol-gel synthesis is proposed. The synthesized photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, low-temperature gas adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission microscopy, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the UV and visible regions. The maximum activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction was 1.3 mmol h–1, which exceeds the rate of hydrogen evolution on the unmodified g-C3N4 and TiO2 samples.
