Authors: Elena-Rodica Popescu , Bianca Augusta Oroian , Vasile Chiriță , Roxana Chiriță
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Self-harm and depression are two related mental health issues that often co-occur and can have serious impacts on individuals and their well-being. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a complex and multifaceted mental health condition that is prevalent among young adults. It is a significant public health concern that affects individuals, families and society as a whole, contributing to considerable social, economic, and health-related costs. Despite the high prevalence of depression in young adults, there is a lack of understanding of its etiology, risk factors, and optimal treatment strategies. Self-harm behavior is a concerning manifestation of MDD that can have serious consequences, including injury, infection, or even death. Methods: In this article, we report a case of an MDD patient with self-harm behavior and discuss the assessment method and treatment options. Our aim is to raise awareness of these pathologies among psychiatrists and the general population and to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment in reducing the risk of self-harm behavior and suicide. Conclusion: In light of the case presented, it is evident that early detection and targeted intervention are crucial in mitigating the risk of self-injurious behavior in MDD patients. The utilization of a comprehensive assessment methodology, inclusive of a thorough review of the patient’s clinical history and utilization of standardized rating scales, proved indispensable in the tailoring of an individualized treatment regimen. The amalgamation of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy proved to be a successful strategy in the amelioration of depressive symptoms and consequent self-harm behavior. As such, we trust that this case report will serve to sensitize clinicians to the importance of early identification and prompt management of these pathologies, in the quest for enhanced mental health outcomes.

Authors: Donald Mandani Chisowa
Published: March 2023

This study evaluated the effect of parity on milk yield among dairy cows fed maize stover improved using legume stover (LS) and feed grade urea fertilizer (UET). The main objective was to assess the effect of parity number on milk yield among dairy cows. The study was carried out at the Livestock Development Trust Centre (LDTC) of the Golden Valley Agricultural Research Trust near Batoka in Southern Province of Zambia. Three feeding trials involving twelve (12) lactating dairy cows were conducted to assess the effect of parity on Daily Milk Yield (DMY). Feed supplements were offered to cows in form of chopped MS supplemented with chopped groundnut stover (cGS), chopped soybean stover (cSS), mineralized groundnut solution (mGS) and mineralized soybean solution (mSS). The mean daily DMYs for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd parities were (5.06ltrs ±2.33, 8.00 ltrs±3.23 and 6.89ltrs±4.00 respectively). These means differed significantly (p<0.05). Results of the current study have indicated that milk yield is influenced by parity with cows in 2nd parity showing the highest milk yield of first three parities.
The effect of paricalcitol and cinacalcet on parathyroid hormone in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis and serum calcium and phosphorus oscillation
Authors: Elvedin Osmanovic  , Hidajet Rahimic
Published: March 2023

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the leading public health problems in the world, and according to research conducted on different races and in different parts of the world, approximately one in 10 adults has some form of kidney damage. In stage 3 CKD, the kidneys lose the ability to remove excess phosphorus that accumulates in the body, leading to hyperphosphatemia, which promotes an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH), and the appearance of secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and negatively affects the quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease. It is generally considered that parathyroid hormone is a systemic "toxin" in CKD and its increased secretion is a sign of progression of kidney disease. Homeostasis of calcium and phosphorus is maintained through a complex connection between bones, intestines, kidneys and parathyroid glands. A retrospective - prospective study will be conducted in the hemodialysis center of the Živinice Health Center. 49 patients suffering from secondary hyperparathyroidism will be included in the study. Patients are of both sexes, aged 18 to 85 years. As part of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients, 75.5% of patients had PTH values below 1000 pg/ml, while 24.5% had PTH values above 1000 pg/ml. A decrease in serum Ca and P values was recorded in 32% of subjects who were treated with paricalcitol. A decrease in serum Ca and P values was recorded in 56% of cases. Observing the effect of paricalcitol and cinacalcet, it is observed that the greatest reduction in PTH values in patients who had PTH values higher than 1000pg/ml - treated with cinacalcet is 44%.
Biostatistics: Simple practical way to use Microsoft excel to find mean, median, mode, standard deviation and correlation
Authors: Tapan Kumar Mahato
Published: March 2023

India is among the top five countries in the pharmaceutical sector. Software is used more frequently because it completes the work in very short time in terms of analyzing data, calculations etc. Computers and cutting-edge software are increasingly used in research. Application of mathematics to biological systems is known as biostatistics (living things). Because biostatistics is employed in both experimental and observational investigations, it is a subject worth studying in the pharmaceutical sector, medical and paramedical (nursing, pharmacy, etc.) schools. Use of Pen and paper for measurements and calculations take far too long to complete. Software is the option to reduce the time. There is a wide variety of statistical software available today that produces findings quickly. Some examples of statistical software are Minitab, SPSS, R online, and Microsoft Excel. Microsoft excel is free and widely accessible software to calculate central tendency, dispersion and correlation. In this article we will discuss the use of Microsoft excel to find mean, median, mode, standard deviation and correlation of the given data.
AN APPROACH TO THE PERCEPTIONS OF SPANISH CONSUMERS ON FOOD SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH THE USE OF PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUES
Authors: J. Mesías Francisco , A. Fernández Juan , Horrillo Andres , J. Escribano Alfredo
Published: March 2023

Increasing social concern regarding the environmental impact caused by the growth of the world’s population and the need to produce food has led to terms such as sustainability and sustainable food production and consumption to become a current subject of discussion. However, consumers are yet not fully familiar with the concept of sustainability and what it actually entails. This paper uses projective techniques as the ideal methodology to overcome these limitations and analyse the meaning of sustainability for Spanish consumers. Results show that consumers associate sustainability with the environment, although when it is referred to food, other concepts such as local/proximity food and responsible consumption also emerge. Also, while consumers find a clear association between sustainability and organic production, this is not so clear when health is also involved. Finally, respondents’ lifestyles served us as a basis to identify three consumer groups with notable differences in terms of their perception of sustainability. These results point to the need for policies that promote sustainable food production and its awareness by consumers to help mitigate environmental degradation
Are tenancy land markets equitable? A review of the "farmer selection dynamics" in Algeria.
Authors: Assassi Sami
Published: March 2023

The significant development of the commodification of agricultural land in developing countries these last decades, notably through tenancy practices, raises serious questions about the equity of its redistribution. Studies on the equity of land markets show contradictory findings. By analyzing the rental market in the large irrigated perimeter of Guelma, northeast Algeria, this article contributes to this debate by answering the following research question: are tenancy land markets equitable? To answer this question, we essentially surveyed a quarter of the landowners in the main agricultural zone of the perimeter (52/208) and the direct tenants of the surveyed assignors (30) in 2020. We found that in the irrigated perimeter of Guelma, the rental land market has led to (1) the exclusion from the production system of landowners with few resources and unable to provide the necessary means for cash crops that have technically considerably evolved, and (2) the spatial exclusion from good lands of small tenants, relatively inefficient and unable to keep up with large tenants in the level of their rental offer. We refer to this general dynamic as "farmer selection".

Pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences embrace a series of different disciplines. Pharmacy practice has been defined as “the scientific discipline that studies the different aspects of the practice of pharmacy and its impact on health care systems, medicine use, and patient care”. Thus, pharmacy practice studies embrace both clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy elements. Like any other scientific discipline, clinical and social pharmacy practice disseminates research findings using scientific journals. Clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy journal editors have a role in promoting the discipline by enhancing the quality of the articles published. As has occurred in other health care areas (i.e., medicine and nursing), a group of clinical and social pharmacy practice journal editors gathered in Granada, Spain to discuss how journals could contribute to strengthening pharmacy practice as a discipline. The result of that meeting was compiled in these Granada Statements, which comprise 18 recommendations gathered into six topics: the appropriate use of terminology, impactful abstracts, the required peer reviews, journal scattering, more effective and wiser use of journal and article performance metrics, and authors’ selection of the most appropriate pharmacy practice journal to submit their work.
Definition of value positions of university students studying fiction (by the example of L. N. Tolstoy’s story “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”)
Authors: Bryakova Irina Evgenievna , Kudryavtseva Maria Evgenievna
Published: March 2023

The aim of the study is to define the value positions of the first-year students training in “Advertising and Public Relations” and “Education”. These value positions are connected with the key moral issues of the story “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” by L. N. Tolstoy. In the article 100 essays have been analyzed to identify the ethical pathos of L. N. Tolstoy’s story “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” by the students and to reveal the students’ abilities to correlate this ethical pathos with the episodes and fragments of the text and with their own value orientations. The scientific novelty consists in the identification of students’ the value positions which correspond to the spirit of the epoch. But these value positions are socially inferior and at the same time they are the “limits” which demand pedagogical correction of the values. As a result, the authors of this research paper managed to reveal the value ideas of the youth. They are the priority of the idea to enjoy life; concept break between “career” and “responsibility”; the interpretation of the concept “happiness” only in personal and private context; the interpretation of the notion “serving” as serving their own interests, the interests of their families and some others. The incompleteness and narrowness of these value ideas allowed the authors of this article to conclude that pedagogical work on the formation and development of readers’ value positions via studying classical fiction must remain one of the basic direction for teaching literature at school and at the university.

High school students’ affective filter in second language acquisition: Causes and solutions
Authors: Sanesi Matteo
Published: March 2023

The research aims to examine the causes and consequences of the activation of Krashen’s Affective Filter in a high school environment, with students aged 14-18 on average. The scientific novelty of the study lies in developing possible solutions for situations in which high school students’ affective filter tends to activate often. It is shown that, when all situations that could cause the affective filter to appear are accounted for, and all elements of disturbance in the classroom are removed, students react positively to the encouragement coming from their teachers. As a result, we discover that, while it is always a good idea to take precautions against the affective filter, a teacher should always be ready to adjust his/her strategies whenever needed.

The creation of educational audio-visual materials has recently become popular. It is an innovative and entertaining practice, which can reach millions of people through social networks and YouTube. For this reason, this specific was designed for students enrolled in the following three modules: The Spanish political system, public administration in Spain, and institutions and decision-making structures in both the of joint degrees in law and political science and in public management and economic sciences, as well as degrees in public management and degrees in political science. Educational audio-visual materials were co-designed and co-created to define a Municipal Council, its workings and its organization. This was a three phased experiment.. In the first, under the supervision of teachers, students developed five videos showing how Municipal Councils work. This allowed university students to become involved in a collaborative learning activity through which they acquired a series of important skills for future use, in addition to reinforcing their learning by participating in creation of digital teaching material, and also establishing a new teaching methodology consisting of learning-by-doing. In the second, professors and students attended CEIP Severo Ochoa Primary School in Madrid showing videos and playing two practical games, thus promoting knowledge transfer. In the third, the teachers evaluated the impact of this activity and the degree of satisfaction of university and primary school students. The result was positive, because not only was an educational innovation successfully implemented, but also a large part of objectives were achieved.

Published: March 2023

La agricultura es considerada como una de las actividades que más impacta en la economía de los países. Por tal motivo, es de suma importancia atender los problemas que ésta enfrenta, entre los que destaca el control de enfermedades y plagas en los cultivos. Si este problema no es atendido se pueden presentar efectos graves en las plantas que afectarían la calidad y productividad del cultivo. En la actualidad, existen muchos trabajos de investigación enfocados en el desarrollo de sistemas inteligentes que permiten automáticamente diagnosticar enfermedades que presenta un cultivo a través del entrenamiento de Redes Neuronales Convolucionales (RNC) con un gran conjunto de imágenes. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las investigaciones entrenan sus modelos con imágenes adquiridas en ambientes controlados (iluminación y fondo), por lo que al ser entrenados con imágenes en un ambiente natural sus resultados no son tan eficientes. En este trabajo se presentan una metodología que implementa un proceso de mejora de la imagen para obtener un mejor resultado en los porcentajes de exactitud de la clasificación realizada por la RNC. El proceso ha sido aplicado al diagnóstico de la enfermedad cenicilla polvorienta en imágenes de cultivos de tomate. Las imágenes del cultivo fueron adquiridas en su ambiente natural, sin control de iluminación y fondo. Los resultados muestran que al aplicar la metodología el entrenamiento del RNC mejora en comparación de no aplicar en comparación del entrenamiento clásico.

Authors: AKHIRUDDIN  , Amir arfenti
Published: March 2023

This study aims to develop sociology teaching materials based on the inside outside circle (IOC) model to espouse students’ multiliteracies. The 4D model was used in research and development (define, design, develop and disseminate). Out of 473 students, a sample of 194 students and 4 teachers purposively selected based on previous experience in teaching sociology. Questionnaires, expert validation sheets, user assessment sheets and interview guidelines were used to obtain the expected data. The results stated that all teachers had used sociology textbooks based on the IOC model to support multiliteracy, but not all teachers utilised government-provided enrichment resources. Furthermore, they expressed interest in the development of sociological teaching materials. The results of experts’ validation show that the sociology teaching materials developed were feasible with very good predicates. It can be concluded that teachers and students in sociology have a prototype that is viable with excellent predicate based on a small number of user trials in the development of sociology teaching materials. The implications for sociology teaching materials development for learners’ digital multiliteracies are discussed in this study.

Resumen: La presente contribución atiende a la interpretación por parte de Heidegger de la dualidad planteada expresamente por Kant de facultades cognoscitivas y sus respectivos tipos específicos de representación. Intentará mostrar cómo su interpretación fenomenológica da cuenta de esta ‹cooriginariedad› de sensibilidad y entendimiento y puede incluso –en un sentido bien determinado– legitimarla. Para ello enfoca su interés en el posicionamiento crítico de Heidegger frente a la lectura neokantiana de este elemento doctrinal de la filosofía transcendental de Kant. Palabras clave: Filosofía transcendental, Neokantismo, Dualismo.Abstract: The present paper focuses on Heidegger's interpretation of the duality expressly posed by Kant of cognitive faculties and their respective specific types of representation. It aims to show how his phenomenological interpretation takes this ‹co-originality› of sensitivity and understanding into account and may even –in a well-defined sense– legitimize it. To this end, the exposition elicits Heidegger's critical position vis-à-vis the neo-Kantian reading of this doctrinal element of Kant's transcendental philosophy. Keywords: Transcendental Philosophy, Neo-Kantianism, Dualism.

Published: March 2023

This paper presents spatial distribution, temporal seismotectonics, and return period of earthquake in East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, using earthquake data and Maximum Likelihood methods. The data used are ISC, USGS/NEIC, and Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (IMCGA) earthquake catalog data for the period of 1918 to 2015. The results show that the a-value ranges from 5.0 to 8.5 and b-value ranges from 0.6 to 1.3. The pattern of spatial distribution of b-value is relatively low corresponding to the low of a-value, which means the high level of stress of rock in the area. The fractal dimension shows that the D value ranges from 1.384 to 1.874. The earthquake that occurred in East Nusa Tenggara Province was dominated by a small magnitude with great seismicity and the fastest return period is in Alor and Timor islands which is 44 days.

Perspective on graphene oxide 2D thin films for enhanced performance in nonlinear integrated photonics
Authors: Moss David
Published: March 2023

Integrated photonic devices operating via optical nonlinearities offer a powerful solution for all-optical information processing, yielding processing speeds that are well beyond that of electronic processing as well as providing the added benefits of compact footprint, high stability, high scalability, and small power consumption. The increasing demand for high-performance nonlinear integrated photonic devices has facilitated the hybrid integration of novel materials to address the limitations of existing integrated photonic platforms, such as strong nonlinear optical absorption or an inadequate optical nonlinearity. Recently, graphene oxide (GO), with its large optical nonlinearity, high flexibility in altering its properties, and facile fabrication processes, has attracted significant attention, enabling many hybrid nonlinear integrated photonic devices with improved performance and novel capabilities. This paper reviews the applications of GO to nonlinear integrated photonics. First, an overview of GO’s optical properties and the fabrication technologies needed for its on-chip integration is provided. Next, the state-of-the-art GO nonlinear integrated photonic devices are reviewed, together with comparisons of the nonlinear optical performance of different integrated platforms incorporating GO. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of this field are discussed.

Does the SARS–CoV–2 pandemic actually cause dysfunctional dietary behavior? A comment on Dinse et al. (2023)
Authors: Meule Adrian
Published: March 2023

Based on a recent cross-sectional study using self-report questionnaires, Dinse and colleagues (2023) claim that this study shows that “the SARS–CoV–2 pandemic causes a dysfunctional dietary behavior” (title) and that the “data clearly show that psychological burdens affect an individual’s dietary behavior” (abstract). This commentary argues that these claims are unfounded. Specifically, it highlights some issues regarding the statistical analyses that refer to artificial categorization of continuous variables, use of covariates, and interpreting differential associations between two variables as a function of third variables, which would require formal tests of interaction effects. Importantly, not only the cross-sectional nature of the study but also the wording used in the questionnaires prevents drawing any causal inferences about associations between study variables. Thus, the results of this study neither indicate that the SARS–CoV–2 pandemic causes dysfunctional dietary behavior nor that such a dietary behavior is affected by psychological distress.
Using DNA to predict Education: A Meta-Analytic Review
Authors: Wilding Kirsty , Wright Megan , von Stumm Sophie
Published: March 2023

Recent advances in genomics make it possible to predict individual differences in education from polygenic scores that are person-specific aggregates of inherited DNA differences. Here, we systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the strength of these DNA-based predictions for educational attainment (e.g., years spent in full-time education) and educational achievement (e.g., school grades). For educational attainment (k = 20, n = 16, Ntotal = 314,757), a multi-level meta-analysis showed an association with polygenic scores of ρ = .27 (95% CI from .22 to .32). For educational achievement (k = 19, n = 10, Ntotal = 83,788), the association was ρ = .24 (95% CI from .18 to .30). Eurocentric biases were evident with only 15% of estimates being reported in samples of non-European ancestry. After accounting for differences in sample ancestry, age at assessment, and education measure, the meta-analytic estimates increased to ρ = .29 (95% CI from .24 to .33) for educational attainment and ρ = .50 (95% CI from .39 to .61) for educational achievement, indicative of large effect sizes. Both meta-analytic estimates continued to be associated with significant heterogeneity. Our findings suggest that DNA-based predictions of education are sizeable but vary across samples and studies. We outline three steps to safeguard potential applications of polygenic score predictions in education to maximize their benefits for personalizing learning, while minimizing the bioethical risks of perpetuating social, cultural, and economic inequalities.

Gender disparities persist in academic psychology. The present study extended previous investigations to social and personality psychology award recipients. We collated publicly available data on award winners (N = 2700) from 17 international societies from 1968 to 2021. Features of the award, including year given, type of award, seniority level, whether the award was shared with more than one winner, and gender/sex of the recipient were coded. Overall, men were more likely to be recognized with awards than women, but the proportion of awards won by women has increased over time. Despite this increased share of awards, women were more likely to win awards for service and teaching (which are generally viewed as less prestigious) rather than research contributions. These differences were moderated by year - women were more likely to win service or teaching awards, compared to research awards, after 1999 and 2007, respectively. Women were more likely to win awards at postgraduate/early career levels or open to all levels compared to senior awards. Findings suggest that women’s greater representation in academic psychology in recent years has not been accompanied by parity in professional recognition and eminence.
A Minimal and Faster System to Identify Depression Through Smartphone: An Explainable Machine Learning-Based Approach
Authors: Ahmed Md. Sabbir , Ahmed Nova
Published: March 2023

Background: The robust pervasive device-based existing systems to detect depression developed in recent years requiring data collected over a long period may not be effective in cases where early detection is crucial. Additionally, due to the requirement of running systems in the background for prolonged periods, the existing promising systems can be resource inefficient. As a result, these systems can be infeasible in low-resource settings.Objective: Our main objective was to develop a minimal system to identify depression that works on data retrieved in the fastest possible time. Another objective was to explain the machine learning (ML) models which performed best in identifying depression.Methods: We developed a faster tool that retrieves the past 7 days’ app usage data in a second (mean=0.31 second, SD=1.10 second). In our study, 100 students from Bangladesh participated and our tool collected their app usage data and responses to the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale. To identify the depressed and non-depressed participants, we developed a diverse set of ML models including linear, tree-based, and neural network-based models. We selected the important features by the Stable approach along with the 3 main types of feature selection (FS) approaches: Filter, Wrapper, and Embedded. We developed and validated the models using the nested cross-validation method. Additionally, we explained the best ML models through the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method.Results: Leveraging only the app usage data retrieved in a second, our Light GBM model using the Stable approach selected features identified 82.4% depressed correctly (precision=75%, F1 score=78.5%). Moreover, after comprehensive exploration, we presented a parsimonious Stacking model where around 5 features selected by the all-relevant FS approach Boruta was used in each iteration of validation and had a maximum precision of 77.4% (balanced accuracy=77.95%). Feature importance analysis presents app usage behavioral markers containing the diurnal usage patterns as more important compared to the aggregated data-based markers. Apart from these, SHAP analysis on our best models presented the behavioral markers that have a relation with depression. For instance, the non-depressed students’ spending time on Education apps was higher on weekdays while depressed students used a higher number of Photo & Video apps and also had a higher deviation in using Photo & Video apps over the day of the weekend.Conclusions: Due to our system’s faster and minimalistic nature, it may make a worthwhile contribution to identifying depression in underdeveloped and developing regions. In addition, our detailed discussion about the implication of findings can facilitate the development of resource-insensitive systems, in better understanding the depressed students and taking steps in intervention.
Zum Wandel der Einstellungen zur aktiven Sterbehilfe - eine modernisierungstheoretische ländervergleichende Mehrebenenanalyse
Authors: Pumptow Marina
Published: March 2023

Das Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es, mit Hilfe einer theoretisch angeleiteten empirischen Analyse zum Erkenntnisgewinn der soziologischen Forschung im Rahmen der Sterbehilfethematik beizutragen. Die Fragestellung bezieht sich auf die Einflussfaktoren und den Wandel von Einstellungen zur aktiven Sterbehilfe in verschiedenen Gesellschaften. Über ein Grundkonzept soziologischer Erklärung werden theoretische Ansätze zu Wertewandel und Modernisierung sowie Einstellungsbildung, die unter anderem aus der Politikwissenschaft und der Sozialpsychologie stammen, kombiniert. Die empirische Prüfung der so entwickelten Annahmen basiert auf den Quer- und Längsschnittdaten großer internationaler Werteerhebungen und wird unter der Verwendung von Mehrebenenanalysen durchgeführt. Es zeigen sich Veränderungen in Bezug auf die Einstellungen zur aktiven Sterbehilfe, von denen aufgrund der weiteren Resultate anzunehmen ist, dass diese unter anderem auf Modernisierungsprozesse zurückzuführen sind. Sozialisationsbedingungen, finanzielle Sicherheit und Religiosität sowie die gesellschaftlichen Werte definieren zum einen gesellschaftliche Unterschiede der Einstellungen zur aktiven Sterbehilfe und legen zum anderen fest, inwieweit bestimmte Personengruppen innerhalb einer Gesellschaft von den gesellschaftlichenModernisierungsprozessen betroffen sind.This master’s thesis aims to contribute to scientific insight in sociological research concerning the topic of euthanasia by a theoretically guided empirical analysis. This study deals with influential factors and change of attitudes toward euthanasia. By the use of a basic concept of sociological explanation theories of values change, modernization and formation of attitudes originated from political science and social psychology are combined. The empirical investigation of the assumptions derived is based on cross-level and longitudinal data by international values studies applying multilevel analysis. Changes regarding the attitudes toward euthanasia are detected which due to the other results are among others based on modernization processes. Conditions of socialization, financial security and religiosity and also the values of society define societal differences but also how specific groups of people are affected by modernization processes which leads to intra-societal differences as well.
