Published: August 2023

Qualitative digital diary methods are a promising tool for capturing participants’ experiences in their own words and across time periods. The use of mobile phone apps to collect this kind of data provides an accessible and flexible way of participating in research, but to truly benefit from this method, participants needs and preferences must be taken into account. This paper explores participant experiences of taking part in qualitative digital diary research, and highlights participants’ values and priorities for qualitative digital diary mental health research. Participants from research projects involving two groups (people with lived experience of eating disoroders, and young people from diverse backgrounds across London schools) provided feedback on their experiences, in the form of interviews and focus groups, and data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The six resulting themes each cover a core value that participants identified as important for them in taking part in qualitative diary research: Self-expression, flexibility, non-judgement, open communication, helpful reflection, and meaningful impact. Themes each highlight particular ways participants can be supported in each aspect, to ensure they can take part in this type of research in ways that are meaningful to them, as well as most beneficial to the research. This paper provides an overview of participant preferences for qualitative digital diary research, and provides researchers with an overview of how to support participant priorities and values in this type of research.
Emotion regulation in self and others
Authors: Petrova Kate , Gross James
Published: August 2023

This chapter provides an overview of emotion regulation, with a particular emphasis on topics relevant to parenting. We begin with a discussion of emotion generation and emotion regulation. Next, we present one of the most commonly used frameworks for studying emotion regulation—the process model of emotion regulation—with particular attention to how it can be applied to emotion regulation that takes place in interpersonal and familial contexts. We then go on to provide a more in-depth overview of interpersonal emotion regulation. Finally, we briefly review key findings on emotion regulation from the developmental literature through the lens of the process model and discuss key directions for future research.
Trait-covariation, behavioral genetics and life history theory
Authors: Kleppesto Thomas H. , Zietsch Brendan P.
Published: August 2023

In this chapter we critique evolutionary-developmental explanations of variation and covariation in psychological traits, with special emphasis on psychological ‘life history theory’. We argue that findings from behavioral genetics and developmental biology provides evidence that large proportions of individual differences in traits are caused by differences in genes, and differences in intrinsic randomness (and environmental damage) during embryo development. Further, behavioral genetic findings suggest that covariation between traits can often be attributed to genetic processes—such as pleiotropy and assortative mating—rather than the output of evolved mechanisms that use environmental cues. Overall, we argue that the relevant evidence leaves little room for evolved mechanisms that shape trait-levels and trait covariations in psychology.

Aims. The study aimed to estimate the impact of introducing a draught alcohol-free beer, thereby increasing the relative availability of these products, on alcohol sales and monetary takings in bars and pubs in England.Design. Randomised crossover field trial.Participants. Fourteen venues that did not previously sell draught alcohol-free beer.Intervention. Venues completed two intervention periods and two control periods in a randomised order over 8 weeks. Intervention periods involved replacing one draught alcoholic beer with an alcohol-free beer. Control periods operated business as usual.Measurements: The primary outcome was mean weekly volume (in litres) of draught alcoholic beer sold. The secondary outcome was mean weekly revenue (in GBP [£]) from all drinks. Analyses adjusted for randomised order; special events; season; and busyness.Findings. The adjusted mean difference in weekly sales of draught alcoholic beer was -20 litres (95% CI -41 to +0.4), equivalent to a 4% reduction (95% CI 8% reduction to 0.1% increase) in the volume of alcoholic draught beer sold when draught alcohol-free beer was available. Excluding venues that failed at least one fidelity check resulted in an adjusted mean difference of -29 litres per week (95% CI -53 to -5), equivalent to a 5% reduction (95% CI 8% reduction to 0.8% reduction). The adjusted mean difference in weekly revenue was +61 GBP per week (95% CI -328 to +450), equivalent to a 1% increase (95% CI 5% decrease to 7% increase) when draught alcohol-free beer was available.Conclusions. Introducing a draught alcohol-free beer in bars and pubs may reduce the volume of draught alcoholic beer sold without substantially impacting net revenue. While further research would help to refine the precision of these estimates, the reduction in sales of alcoholic beer of 4 to 5% could have a positive impact on public health at a population level.
Bright sides of tribal exaggeration?: Collective narcissism and tribal attitudes towards equality
Authors: Golec Agnieszka
Published: August 2023

This chapter considers the role of collective narcissism - a belief that the ingroup’s exaggerated greatness is not sufficiently recognized by others - in asymmetric intergroup relations. Reviewed research explains why members of advantaged groups find it hard to sympathize with members of disadvantaged groups. At high levels of collective narcissism, group members are overly distressed by (real or imagined) exclusion of their own ingroup, but not by exclusion of other groups. Collective narcissism also predicts tribal bias in perception of discrimination and attitudes towards equality depending on whether greater equality aligns or goes against the motivation to have one’s own ingroup recognized as better than others. Those members of advantaged group (e.g. men, White people), who score high on collective narcissism endorse anti-egalitarianism and support the state’s repression of social movements towards equality. Among those members of advantaged group (e.g. women, Black or Latins people) who score high on collective narcissism exaggeration of the ingroup’s importance has power-balancing consequences. They endorse egalitarianism, reject beliefs legitimizing inequality and engage in collective action to pursue equality. This is important as collective narcissists in advantaged groups have greater power than collective narcissists in disadvantaged group to claim national prototypicality and frame their ingroup goals as national interests. Members of disadvantaged groups who endorse national collective narcissism endorse beliefs legitimizing inequality and their ingroups’ disadvantage.
Attentional Blur and Blink: Effects of Adaptive Attentional Scaling on Visual Awareness
Authors: Wang Shuyao , Karabay Aytaç , Akyurek Elkan G.
Published: August 2023

Attentional scaling is a crucial mechanism that enables us to flexibly allocate our attention to larger or smaller regions in the visual field. Although previous studies have demonstrated the critical role of attentional scaling in visual processing, its impact on modulating visual awareness is not yet fully understood. This study investigates the adaptive control of attentional scaling and its influence on visual awareness in an attentional blink paradigm. Participants were required to attend to the first target’s location, which was manipulated either session-wise, trial-wise, or such that it could be learned across a block of trials. Discrete, all-or-none, awareness was expected when attention was allocated to a narrow area, while gradual awareness was expected when attention was allocated to a larger area. We used mixture modeling to assess second target awareness across these different attentional scales. The results revealed that participants could adaptively control their attentional scale both across stable sessions, and through implicit (statistical) learning in blocks of successive trials. This produced gradual perceptual awareness when the participants adopted a broad attentional scale, causing an attentional “blur”. However, trial-wise cues did not allow for attentional scaling, resulting in more discrete target perception overall, and an attentional “blink”. We conclude that the attentional scale is to some extent under adaptive control during the attentional blink/blur, where it can produce qualitatively different modes of perceptual awareness.

American Anthropology is engaged in significant self-reckonings that call for big changes to how anthropology is practiced. These include (1) recognizing and taking seriously the demands to decolonize the ways research is done; (2) addressing precarious employment in academic anthropology; and (3) creating a discipline better positioned to respond to urgent societal needs. A central role for ethnographic methods training is a thread that runs through each of these four reckonings. This paper, written by a team of cultural, biocultural, and linguistic anthropologists, outlines key connections between ethnographic methods training and the challenges facing anthropology. We draw on insights from a large-scale survey of American Anthropological Association members to examine current ethnographic methods capabilities and training practices. Study findings suggest that there is a strong desire among anthropologists for deeper training in foundational methods such as participant observation, entering the field, and ethnographic fieldwork writ-large, combined with training in critical and collaborative methods, as well as in quantitative methods. In addition, respondents report having competencies in ethnographic data collection methods, but a lack of training in methods for systematically analyzing the data they collect. We explore these and other findings to answer three guiding questions: To what extent do our current anthropological practices in ethnographic methods training serve to advance or undermine current calls for disciplinary change? To what extent do instructors themselves identify disconnects between their own practices and the need for innovation? And, finally, what can be done, and at what scale, to leverage ethnographic methods training to meet calls for disciplinary change?
Cross-National Historical Change in Sleep Durations and Timing

Published: August 2023

Sleep’s vital role in maintaining good health and bodily functions has raised concerns about a possible sleep deprivation epidemic. However, evidence supporting this idea, primarily based on answers to questions like: on average, how many hours of sleep do you get in a 24-hr period?’, have been shown to lack reliability. Time use diaries offer the best option to study sleep changes in the absence of nationally representative samples of objective measures. This chapter contributes to the literature by utilizing a larger sample of time use diaries than any previous study, including some Asian samples that had never been used before for this purpose. The analysis reveals no evidence supporting a sleep deprivation epidemic; in fact, sleep appears to have improved in the majority of countries analysed.
Generation Effects on Americans’ Symbolic Ideology and Attitudes Toward the Economic Role of Government
Authors: Jackson Robert , Rainey Carlisle
Published: August 2023

Many existing reports and studies based on a single cross-section of survey data indicate that Millennials and Generation Z are more liberal than preceding generations. However, purely cross-sectional data are unable to differentiate between age effects, period effects, and generation or cohort effects. Pooling 23 General Social Surveys (GSS) cross-sections across the years 1983-2021, we apply contemporary age-period-cohort (APC) modeling techniques to differentiate these effects as they pertain to both symbolic ideology and operational economic ideology. We find greater support for age effects and period (i.e., survey year) effects than generation effects, calling into question the conventional wisdom on the liberalism of these recent generations. Our evidence is more consistent with an aging process in which Americans, regardless of generation, become more symbolically and economically conservative across their life course. Our results also reinforce doubts about the conventional, contemporary classification scheme for generations in the United States.

1. Citizen scientists have become integral participants in nature conservation projects, and the demand for effective conservation efforts has sparked increasing interest in utilizing environmental DNA (eDNA) for species monitoring, drawing citizen scientists into the sample collection process. However, there is still a gap in understanding the motivations behind volunteer engagement in eDNA projects. This includes the need to validate the data retrieved from collected samples and recognise the value of volunteer involvement to ensure their satisfaction and active engagement.2.To address this gap, we trained conservation volunteers to collect eDNA samples from two rivers and a beaver enclosure for detecting terrestrial and semi-aquatic mammals. Two questionnaires were distributed before and after sampling to gather insights about volunteer science capital, motivation to participate and their experiences during eDNA sampling.3.Citizen scientists were highly motivated to participate, developed innovative approaches to collect eDNA samples and showed a strong understanding of eDNA surveying techniques. Overall, citizen scientists expressed high science capital, which facilitated their enjoyment in contributing to meaningful scientific knowledge, helping their local wildlife, and expressing a desire for continuous learning. Additionally, concerns were made about plastic usage in eDNA studies, highlighting the need to address these environmental considerations. These findings highlight the broader impact of citizen science, extending beyond scientific outcomes alone. 4.A greater number of mammal species overall and between the sampling sites were detected by citizen scientists compared to the eDNA researchers. Their valuable contributions and local knowledge of the sampling sites have enhanced the scientific endeavour and expanded our understanding of local biodiversity.5.This study provides insights into the feasibility and benefits of involving citizen scientists in eDNA surveys for both advancing conservation efforts and acknowledging the values of volunteers. We provide a robust comparison of results and highlight the benefits of volunteer participation, including increased knowledge exchange and enjoyment of biodiversity monitoring and conservation. The eDNA results were shared with the volunteers, leading to meaningful discussions about the species detected and their implications for conservation efforts. This collaborative approach encouraged knowledge exchange and further engagement between researchers and citizen scientists.
Spatio-Temporal Changes in Racial Segregation and Diversity in Large US Cities from 1990 to 2020: A Visual Data Analysis
Authors: Dmowska Anna , Stepinski Tomasz
Published: August 2023

Urban populations in large US cities exhibit racial and ethnic diversity, yet they remain residentially segregated. The examination of temporal trends in segregation and diversity is crucial for sociologists and urban planners. In this study, we investigate the spatio-temporal changes in segregation and diversity across 61 major US cities, utilizing data from four US Censuses conducted between 1990 and 2020. Unlike previous studies, our approach relies on visual data analysis, enabling us to capture the overarching changes in racial coresidence during this period. We employ four distinct perspectives -- geographical, temporal, groups evolution, and desegregation scale limit -- to visualize and analyze the data. Geographical analysis uncovers a decrease in regional disparities in urban diversity and segregation since 1990, as urban racial integration extends beyond West Coast and Southwestern cities to encompass the entire US. Through temporal analysis, we observe a general trend of rapidly increasing diversity and gradual reduction in segregation, albeit with varying rates across different cities. Groups evolution analysis reveals that cities grouped based on their diversity and segregation metrics in 1990 follow the overall trend toward larger diversity and smaller segregation while preserving group’s coherence but not their distinctiveness. Finally, the desegregation scale limit perspective suggests that, on average, over the 1990 to 2020 period, the desegregation scale has started to subceed the lower limit of the census block. By employing these diverse analytical perspectives, our study provides a comprehensive understanding of the changes in racial segregation and diversity within US cities over the past three decades.

Abstract This study aims to describe the harmonization of Muslims and Christians in Tana Toraja. Philosophically it can be described as a representation of local wisdom and awareness. This study uses a qualitative method. Researchers hear, record, and understand the condition of the community as a whole about the values and meaning of the Toraja people's outlook on life. In Toraja society, in one family and even in one house you can find adherents of different religions, but they remain harmonious and peaceful thanks to the customs and philosophy of local wisdom of Tongkonan. Culture in society cannot be measured using data in the form of numbers, because researchers use qualitative methods. Based on the results of the research it is known that one form of harmonization is the creation of a community in society which is a very important social fact in a pluralistic society. In dealing with pluralism, the Toraja people are able to be tolerant of pluralism and are required to live in a pluralist spirit. This can be applied in interfaith life where religious differences do not have to be an obstacle in establishing brotherhood, unity and national unity. Keywords: Harmonization, Local Wisdom, Toraja

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThis study aims to describe the communication process that occurs at Konda State Special School (SLBN), namely between teachers and education staff towards students with disabilities who are deaf. The deaf are circumstances in which one cannot hear, so one cannot speak. The method of research used in this study is qualitative descriptive, where data is gathered through observation, interview, and document study. Then, the data is analyzed by doing data reduction, data presentation, and a deduction. Informant in this study are teachers and education staff  who have had direct contact with deaf student. Studies have shown that teachers and education staff implement S-R model, circular and secondary communication models, where deaf students are active when communicating with communicators both in the learning process and outside the classroom. A student with his ignorance and confusion about something will ask him directly. Then, when a communication process is challenging, a second alternative is that of using a handphone or paper as a text. It can also be seen that teachers and education staff use both verbal (oral) and nonverbal (SIBI) forms of communication simultaneously in conveying messages. In addition, the obstacles to communicating with deaf students are due to physical disabilities so as not to speak like other humans and poor language mastery, and in the learning process the deaf students forgets easly, gets bored, gets tired quickly and has difficulty concentrating.  Keywords : Communication Model, Deaf Students, Education Staff, SLB, Teacher

Published: August 2023

Sinonim atau persamaan kata dalam bahasa Arab disebut sebagai muradif/taraduf. Dalam kaidah penafsiran al-qur’an, muradif memiliki peran tersendri. Salah satu bagian menarik dari persoalan ini adalah teori anti-sinonimitas yang diyakini oleh seorang mufassir perempuan, yakni Aisyah Abdurrahman bintu Syathi’. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif yang didasarkan pada buku dan juga jurnal (telaah pustaka). Fokus penelitian ini adalah pada tokoh Aisyah Abdurrahman bintu Syathi’ serta teori yang dikembangkannya tersebut. Hasil penelitian yang ditemukan bahwa teori anti-sinonimitas memandang tidak ada persamaan makna pada lafadz-lafadz yang ada dalam al-qur’an, masing-masing memiliki makna tersendiri. Salah satu yang mempengaruhi pemikirannya adalah dosennya sendiri yang kemudian menjadi pendamping hidupnya yakni Amin al-Khulli yang juga menganut teori anti-sinonimitas. Karya Aisyah Abdurrahman bintu Syathi’ dalam bidang tafsir adalah Al-Bayan li Al-qur’an Al-Karim yang memuat empat belas surah-surah pendek dan terdiri dari dua jilid.
JOINT EFFORTS OF THE MEDIA, CIVIL SOCIETY AND THE STATE TO COUNTER RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION
Authors: Piskorska Galyna , Ryzhova Daria , Yakovets Anatoly
Published: August 2023

The article deals with the problems of institutional support of information security in the context of the full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine. The strategies and tools used by the Ukrainian state and civil society in the field of information policy to counter disinformation have been studied. Global awareness of the need to counter the hostile narratives used by Russia against Ukraine and the West is a real way out of the threatening situation caused by massive Russian disinformation campaigns. Disinformation cannot be defeated solely by closing channels or social media pages. Success requires the joint efforts of the media, public organizations, and the state. The authors of the article conclude that the most effective strategy for countering disinformation should be based on a combination of technological techniques for removing unwanted content and ensuring the dominance of the dominant mainstream narratives of the state in its own information space and in the information space of foreign countries. The authors have carried out the research on the resistance of the young generation of Ukrainians to disinformation and determined Ukraine's goals in the information war.

A kind of biometric recognition called vein identification systems uses vascular architecture to identify people. One of these approaches is identification based on hand-wrist vein pattern. Hand-wrist vein pictures acquired from persons utilizing an infrared light source with a wavelength of 850 nm were segmented in this research by running them through several image processing techniques. The scale-independent feature transformation (SURF) approach was used to extract critical points from segmented pictures. This strategy has been chosen since it is unaffected by circumstances. During the identification procedure, the retrieved key points were utilized to calculate the Euclidean distance. The accuracy rate was judged to be 97% as a consequence of the matching operations employing The SURF approach produces characteristics such as rotation, camera angle, ambient light intensity, and so on. the database's hand-wrist vein patterns

OBJECTIVE

Assessment of nutritional status is fundamental in cancer patients. The objective of this study was to assess the predictive ability of 6 nutritional biomarkers for postoperative mortality and wound infection after metastatic spinal tumor surgery.

METHODS

A total of 139 patients who underwent oncological surgery for metastatic spine disease between April 2012 and August 2022 and had a minimum follow-up of 90 days were included. Six unique nutritional biomarkers were assessed: Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), Controlling Nutritional Status Score (CONUT), total psoas cross-sectional area (TPA), body mass index (BMI), and body weight. Study endpoints were 90-day mortality rate, 12-month mortality rate, and wound infection. The discriminative ability of each of these markers was assessed with the c-statistic. A multivariate analysis was done for each of the biomarkers after a univariate analysis was first performed.

RESULTS

The 90-day mortality rate was 27% (37 of 139). The biomarkers and respective c-statistics were as follows: PNI (0.74), NRI (0.75), CONUT (0.71), TPA (0.64), BMI (0.59), and body weight (0.60). The 12-month mortality rate was 56% (51 of 91). The biomarkers and respective c-statistics were as follows: PNI (0.72), NRI (0.73), CONUT (0.70), TPA (0.63), BMI (0.59), and body weight (0.60). The wound infection rate was 8% (11 of 139). The biomarkers and respective c-statistics were as follows: PNI (0.57), NRI (0.53), CONUT (0.55), TPA (0.57), BMI (0.48), and body weight (0.52). The PNI, NRI, and CONUT all predicted 90-day and 12-month mortality after multivariate regression analysis. No association between nutrition and wound infection was found.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, nutritional status was associated with postoperative mortality following oncological spine surgery. Three biomarkers predicted outcome independent of variables such as performance status or primary cancer. Future validation of these metrics is needed.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to identify rates of and risk factors for local tumor progression in patients who had undergone surgery or radiosurgery for the management of cerebellar hemangioblastoma and to describe treatments pursued following tumor progression.

METHODS

The authors conducted a retrospective single-center review of patients who had undergone treatment of a cerebellar hemangioblastoma with either surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) between 1996 and 2019. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to examine factors associated with local tumor control.

RESULTS

One hundred nine patients met the study inclusion criteria. Overall, these patients had a total of 577 hemangioblastomas, 229 of which were located in the cerebellum. The surgical and SRS cohorts consisted of 106 and 123 cerebellar hemangioblastomas, respectively. For patients undergoing surgery, tumors were treated with subtotal resection and gross-total resection in 5.7% and 94.3% of cases, respectively. For patients receiving SRS, the mean target volume was 0.71 cm3 and the mean margin dose was 18.0 Gy. Five-year freedom from lesion progression for the surgical and SRS groups was 99% and 82%, respectively. The surgical and SRS cohorts contained 32% versus 97% von Hippel–Lindau tumors, 78% versus 7% cystic hemangioblastomas, and 12.8- versus 0.56-cm3 mean tumor volumes, respectively. On multivariate analysis, factors associated with local tumor progression in the SRS group included older patient age (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.09, p < 0.001) and a cystic component (HR 9.0, 95% CI 2.03–32.0, p = 0.001). Repeat SRS as salvage therapy was used more often for smaller tumor recurrences, and no tumor recurrences of < 1.0 cm3 required additional salvage surgery following repeat SRS.

CONCLUSIONS

Both surgery and SRS achieve high rates of local control of hemangioblastomas. Age and cystic features are associated with local progression after SRS treatment for cerebellar hemangioblastomas. In cases of local tumor recurrence, salvage surgery and repeat SRS are valid forms of treatment to achieve local tumor control, although resection may be preferable for larger recurrences.

OBJECTIVE

Surgical treatment of brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs) is challenging. Surgery using the endoscopic transsphenoidal transclival approach (eTSTCA) is reported as a useful alternative for ventral brainstem CMs. However, CMs located in the ventral midline of the brainstem are rare, and only a small number of case reports on these CMs treated with the eTSTCA exist. The efficacy and safety of the eTSTCA have not yet been fully examined.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis was performed for 5 consecutive patients who underwent surgery via the eTSTCA for treating ventral pontine CMs.

RESULTS

The average maximum CM diameter was 26.0 mm (18–38 mm). All patients underwent MR–diffusion tensor imaging, which confirmed that the corticospinal tract (CST) deviated posteriorly or laterally to the CM. Direct brainstem cortical stimulation was performed to localize the CST before making the cortical incision. After the excision of the CM, the cavity was filled with artificial CSF to make an aqueous surgical field (wet-field technique) for observing the tumor cavity and confirming complete hemostasis and resection. Total removal was achieved in all patients. The preoperative modified Rankin Scale score was 3 in 3 patients and 4 in 2 patients, whereas it was 1 in 2 patients and 0 in 3 patients 3 months after surgery. Postoperative CSF leakage was observed in 1 patient, and transient abducens nerve palsy was observed in 1 patient. No other intra- or postoperative complications were observed.

CONCLUSIONS

MR–diffusion tensor imaging and direct brainstem cortical stimulation were useful to ascertain the proximity of the CST to the CM. The endoscope provides a clear view even underwater, and it was safe and effective to observe the entire CM cavity and confirm complete hemostasis without additional retraction of the brainstem parenchyma, including the CST. The eTSTCA provides a direct access point to the lesion and may be a safer alternative treatment for patients whose CST deviates laterally or posteriorly to the CM.
