Authors: Papagiannopoulou Penelope , Afendouli Panagiota , Pilafas Georgios
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to examine the impact of vocal music on cognitive performance using the Trail Making Test (TMT)-B. A sample of 90 participants was randomly assigned into two groups: one group listened to vocal music while completing the TMT-B, while the other group performed the task without any music. The TMT-B was specifically chosen as it incorporates the central executive, particularly the phonological loop, enabling more targeted findings. Our hypothesis posited that participants exposed to vocal music would exhibit lower performance on the TMT-B test due to the distraction caused and the suppression of the phonological loop. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U Test. Results revealed a significant difference in completion time between the two groups (with a large effect size d=0,95), with the group with vocal music taking longer to complete the test compared to the group without music. This suggests that vocal music interference has a negative impact on TMT-B performance.

The human circadian timing system depends on the light/dark cycle as its main cue to synchronize with the environment, and thus with solar time. However, human activities depend also on social time, i.e. the set of time conventions and restrictions dictated by society, including Daylight Saving Time (DST), which adds an hour to any degree of desynchrony between social and solar time. Here, we used Google Trends as a data source to analyze diurnal variation, if any, and the daily peak in the relative search volume of 26 Google search queries in relation to the transitions to/from DST in Italy from 2015 to 2020. Our search queries of interest fell into three categories: sleep/health-related, medication and random non sleep/health-related. After initial rhythm and phase analysis, 11 words were selected to compare the average phase of the 15 days before and after the transition to/from DST. We observed an average phase advance after the transition to DST, and a phase delay after the transition to civil time, ranging from 25 to 60 minutes. Advances or delays shorter than 60 minutes, which were primarily observed in the sleep/health-related category, may suggest that search timing for these queries is at least partially driven by the endogenous circadian rhythm. Finally, a significant trend in phase anticipation over the years was observed for virtually all words. This is most likely related to an increase in age, and thus in earlier chronotypes, amongst Google users.

The city of Manaus has undergone an industrialization process that has negatively influenced the wastewater that makes up the urban part of the city. Monitoring water quality parameters and seasonal changes are essential for decision-making for the recovery of the basin's waters. The study evaluated, through the Water Quality Index (WQI) and multivariate statistical techniques, the seasonal and spatial variation in water quality in the Educandos basin, Manaus. The 14 sampling points were selected in the years 2020, 2021 and 2022. The analyzes followed the recommendations of the Stantard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. The IQA showed that seasonality has not been enough to cause an improvement in water quality. Cluster analysis ranked similar sample points in relation to water quality. The main component showed that turbidity, total solids and biological oxygen demand are the most relevant parameters for PC1, while for PC2 they were Total Coliforms, Total Nitrogen and pH. The multivariate analysis proved to be efficient for monitoring the basin, considering the process of environmental deterioration, resulting from the receipt of waste of mixed domestic and industrial origin.

Wind energy is one of the fastest power generation technologies in the power generation industry and one of the most cost-effective methods of generating electrical power. For system reliability, improving highly appropriate wind speed forecasting methods is desirable. The wavelet transform is a powerful mathematical technique that converts an analyzed signal into a time-frequency representation. This technique helps forecast non-stationary time series. The objective is to evaluate the performance of the "DWT-Random Forest" model in predicting wind speed through a comparative analysis of performance metrics (MSE, RMSE, and MAPE) with similar studies. Our motivation is rooted in the pressing need to improve wind forecasting methods to optimize renewable energy generation. The method involved implementing the model, which presented performance metrics: MSE of 0.0099, RMSE of 0.0996, and MAPE of 0.0779. However, comparative analysis with previous studies reveals that our model demonstrates competitive performance. The main result of this study is the finding that the "DWT-Random Forest" model exhibits a respectable performance in predicting wind speed, although there is room for improvement.

Se estudió las relaciones de comunicación con enfoque de interculturalidad y género de la comunidad indígena chorotega, con el objetivo de conocer el rol estratégico y perspectivas que tiene la comunicación intercultural en esta. La lucha de este grupo étnico ha favorecido la creación de un marco legal que reivindica la propiedad en sus territorios, incluso, más allá de sus límites municipales; sus formas de organización, tradiciones y costumbres. Los espacios de comunicación intercultural permiten visibilizar el pensamiento y la manera de ser de las poblaciones indígenas. Las entidades gubernamentales y municipales trabajan en temas de desarrollo en el espacio municipal de manera coordinada: los ONG de cobertura departamental desarrollan acciones en la temática productiva, ambiental, social y género; los de carácter territorial o local muestran una mayor actividad en los temas de pueblos indígenas y juventud. Existen redes de colaboración en el territorio indígena; la que aglutinan a la mayoría de las organizaciones es el clúster “Seguridad Alimentaria y Generación de Ingresos”, impulsado por la ONG Suiza, INTERTEAM. Se presentan las prácticas y roles que mujeres y hombres realizan, analizadas desde la División Sexual del Trabajo y perspectivas futuras.
