Subclinical auditory dysfunction: Relationship between distortion product otoacoustic emissions and the audiogram
Authors: Bramhall Naomi , McMillan Garnett , Mashburn Amy
Published: April 2020

Purpose: Both distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and pure tone thresholds have been used to account for the impacts of subclinical outer hair cell (OHC) dysfunction on auditory perception and measures of auditory physiology. However, the relationship between DPOAEs and the audiogram is unclear. This study investigated this relationship by determining how well DPOAE levels can predict the pure tone audiogram among individuals with clinically normal hearing. Additionally, the impacts of age, noise exposure history, and the perception of tinnitus on the ability of DPOAE levels to predict the audiogram were evaluated.Method: Suprathreshold DPOAE levels from 1-10 kHz and pure tone thresholds from 0.25-16 kHz were measured in 366 ears from 194 young adults (19-35 years) with clinically normal audiograms (thresholds ≤ 20 dB HL from 0.25-8 kHz) and normal middle ear function. The measured DPOAE levels at all frequencies were used to predict each pure tone frequency. Participants were grouped based on age, self-reported noise exposure history/Veteran status, and self-report of tinnitus.Results: Inclusion of DPOAE levels in the pure tone threshold prediction model improved threshold predictions at all frequencies from 0.25-16 kHz compared with a model based only on sample mean pure tone thresholds, but these improvements were modest (0.4 to 2.1 dB). DPOAE levels for f2 frequencies of 4 and 5 kHz were particularly influential in predicting pure tone thresholds above 4 kHz. However, the prediction accuracy of the model varied based on participant characteristics. On average, predicted pure tone thresholds were better than measured thresholds among Veterans, individuals with tinnitus, and the oldest age group (31-35 years). In contrast, predicted thresholds tended to be poorer than measured thresholds among the youngest age group (19-25 years) and non-Veterans.Conclusions: These results indicate a complex relationship between DPOAE levels and the pure tone audiogram. Underestimation of pure tone thresholds related to Veteran status, perception of tinnitus, and older age suggests that additional factors other than OHC damage may impact pure tone thresholds among individuals within these categories. These findings suggest that DPOAE levels and pure tone thresholds may differ in terms of how well they reflect subclinical OHC dysfunction.

Selenium and RNA virus interactions: Potential implications for SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19)
Authors: Hiffler Laurent , Rakotoambinina Benjamin
Published: April 2020

SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic that already claimed more than 340,000 lives worldwide as of May 23, 2020, the majority of which are elderly. Selenium (Se), a natural trace element, has a key and complex role in the immune system. It is well-documented that Se deficiency is associated with higher susceptibility to RNA viral infections and more severe disease outcome. In this article, we firstly present evidence on how Se deficiency promotes mutations, replication and virulence of RNA viruses. Next, we review how Se might be beneficial via restoration of host antioxidant capacity, reduction of apoptosis and endothelial cell damages as well as platelet aggregation. It also appears that low Se status is a common finding in conditions considered at risk of severe COVID-19, especially in the elderly. Finally, we present a rationale for Se use at different stages of COVID-19. Se has been overlooked but may have a significant place in COVID-19 spectrum management, particularly in vulnerable elderly, and might represent a game changer in the global response to COVID-19.
Neuroticism and reward-related ventral striatum activity: Probing vulnerability to stress-related depression
Authors: Bondy Erin , Baranger David A , Balbona Jared V. , Sputo Kendall , Paul Sarah Emily , Oltmanns Thomas , Bogdan Ryan
Published: April 2020

Background: Elevated neuroticism may confer vulnerability to the depressogenic effects of stressful life events (SLEs). Vulnerability to stress-related disruption of neural reward processing is a promising neural mechanism undergirding links between stress and depression. Methods: Data came from 2 studies: the St. Louis Personality and Aging Network (SPAN) study and the Duke Neurogenetics Study (DNS). In SPAN, we used longitudinal self-reported data from older adults (n=971) to examine whether neuroticism moderates the association between recent stressful life events and subsequent depressive symptoms. In the DNS, we tested whether this interaction is present among young adult college students (n=1,343), and further whether neuroticism moderates the association between SLEs and reward-related ventral striatum activation as measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (n=1,195).Results: In SPAN, SLEs prospectively predicted future depressive symptoms, especially among those reporting elevated N, even after accounting for prior depressive symptoms and previous SLE exposure (NxSLE interaction: p=0.016, ΔR2=0.003). In Study 2, we replicated this effect (NxSLE interaction: p=0.019, ΔR2=0.003). Further, neuroticism moderated the association between SLEs and reward-related left VS activity such that individuals with high neuroticism who were also exposed to more SLEs had blunted reward-related left VS activation (NxSLE: p=0.017, ΔR2=0.0048) which was associated with a lifetime depression diagnosis (r=-0.07, p=0.02), but not current depressive symptoms (r=-0.003, p=0.93).Conclusions: These data suggest that neuroticism may promote vulnerability to stress-related depression, and that sensitivity to stress-related VS dysfunction may be a potential neural mechanism underlying vulnerability to stress-related clinically significant depression.
Social group membership does not modulate automatic imitation in a contrastive multi-agent paradigm
Authors: De Souter Laura , Braem Senne , Genschow Oliver , Brass Marcel , Cracco Emiel
Published: April 2020

A key prediction of motivational theories of automatic imitation is that people imitate in-group over out-group members. However, research on this topic has provided mixed results. Here, we investigate the possibility that social group modulations emerge only when people can directly compare in- and out-group. To this end, we conducted three experiments in which we measured automatic imitation of two simultaneously shown hands: one in-group and one out-group hand. Our general hypothesis was that the in-group hand would be imitated more than the out-group hand. However, even though both explicit and implicit manipulation checks showed that we succeeded in manipulating participants’ feelings of group membership, we did not find support for the predicted influence of group membership on automatic imitation. In contrast to motivational theories, this suggests that group membership does not influence who we do or do not imitate, not even in a contrastive multi-agent paradigm.
Motivation and Preference in Isolation: A test of their different influences on responses to self-isolation during the COVID-19 outbreak
Authors: Weinstein Netta , Nguyen Thuy-vy Thi
Published: April 2020

This multi-wave study examined the extent that both preference and motivation for time alone shapes ill-being during self-isolation. Individuals in the US and UK are self-isolating in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Different motivations may drive their self-isolation: some might see value in it (understood as the identified form of autonomous motivation), while others might feel forced into it by authorities or close others (family, friends, neighbourhoods, doctors; the external form of controlled motivation). People who typically prefer company will find themselves spending more time alone, and may experience differential ill-being uniformly, or as a function of their identified or external motivations for self-isolation. Self-isolation therefore offers a unique opportunity to distinguish two constructs coming from disparate literatures. This project examined preference and motivation (identified and external) for solitude, and tested their independent and interacting contributions to ill-being (loneliness, depression, and anxiety during time spent alone) across two weeks. Confirmatory hypotheses regarding preference and motivation were not supported by the data. A statistically significant effect of controlled motivation on change in ill-being was observed one week later, and preference predicted ill-being across two weeks. However, effect sizes for both were below our minimum threshold of interest.
Can Corrections Spread Misinformation to New Audiences? Testing for the Elusive Familiarity Backfire Effect
Authors: Ecker Ullrich K. H. , Lewandowsky Stephan , Chadwick Matthew
Published: April 2020

Misinformation often continues to influence inferential reasoning after clear and credible corrections are provided; this effect is known as the continued influence effect. It has been theorized that this effect is partly driven by misinformation familiarity. Some researchers have even argued that a correction should avoid repeating the misinformation, as the correction itself could serve to inadvertently enhance misinformation familiarity and may thus backfire, ironically strengthening the very misconception it aims to correct. While previous research has found little evidence of such familiarity backfire effects, there remains one situation where they may yet arise: when correcting entirely novel misinformation, where corrections could serve to spread misinformation to new audiences. The present paper presents three experiments (total N = 1,718) investigating the possibility of familiarity backfire within the context of correcting novel misinformation claims. While there was variation across experiments, overall there was substantial evidence against familiarity backfire. Corrections that repeated novel misinformation claims did not lead to stronger misconceptions compared to a control group never exposed to the false claims or corrections. This suggests that it is safe to repeat misinformation when correcting it, even when the audience might be unfamiliar with the misinformation.
Gradiate: a radial sweep approach to measuring detailed contrast sensitivity functions from eye movements
Authors: Mooney Scott William Joseph , Alam Nazia , Hill N. Jeremy , Prusky Glen T.
Published: April 2020

The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) is an informative measure of visual health, but the practical difficulty of measuring it has impeded detailed analyses of its relationship to different visual disorders. Furthermore, most existing tasks cannot be used in populations with cognitive impairment. We analyzed detailed CSFs measured with a non-verbal procedure called “Gradiate”, which efficiently infers visibility from eye movements and manipulates stimulus appearance in real time. Sixty observers of varying age (38 with refractive error) were presented with moving stimuli. Stimulus spatial frequency and contrast advanced along fifteen radial sweeps through CSF space in response to stimulus-congruent eye movements. A point on the CSF was recorded when tracking ceased. Gradiate CSFs were reliable and in high agreement with independent low contrast acuity thresholds. Overall CSF variation was largely captured by two orthogonal factors (“radius” and “slope”), or two orthogonal shape factors when size was normalized (“aspect ratio” and “curvature”). CSF radius was highly predictive of LogMAR acuity, as were aspect ratio and curvature together, but only radius was predictive of observer age. Our findings suggest that Gradiate holds promise for assessing spatial vision in both verbal and non-verbal populations and indicate that variation between detailed CSFs can reveal useful information about visual health.
Unveiling an Exclusive Link: Predicting Behavior with Personality, Situation Perception, and Affect in a Pre-Registered Experience Sampling Study
Authors: Horstmann Kai Tobias , Rauthmann John F. , Sherman Ryne A. , Ziegler Matthias
Published: April 2020

Affect and situation perception are intertwined in any given situation, but the extent to which both predict behavior jointly and uniquely has not yet been systematically examined so far. Using two studies with experience sampling methodology (ESM), we examine how trait-like variables (Big Six, trait affect, general situation experience) and state-like variables (momentary affect, happiness, and situation perception) account for variance in self-reported behavioral states of the Big Six. In Study 1, we re-analyzed data from Sherman, Rauthmann, Brown, Serfass, and Jones (2015) and found that situation perception explained variance in self-reported behavior in logically coherent ways, but only after considering happiness as an additional predictor. These results were replicated in pre-registered Study 2, in which positive and negative affect were additionally assessed as distinct variables. Based on both studies, we conclude that personality traits, affect, and situation perception contribute uniquely to the explanation of self-reported behavior in daily life. Importantly, situation perceptions and affect do overlap, but they are neither the same nor redundant with each other. Indeed, theoretically justified and logically coherent links between situation perceptions and behavioral states remain intact once affect is controlled for, while the links not predicted by theory disappear. These results have implications for personality theories as well as appraisal theories of emotion.
Integrating Human and Machine Coding to Measure Political Issues in Ethnic Newspaper Articles
Authors: Kim Jae Yeon
Published: April 2020

The voices of racial minority groups have rarely been examined systematically with large-scale text analysis in political science. This study fills such a gap by applying an integrated classification framework to the analysis of the commonalities and differences in political issues that appeared in 78,305 articles from Asian American and African American newspapers from the 1960s to the 1980s. The automated text classification shows that Asian American newspapers focused on promoting collective gains more often than African American newspapers. Conversely, African American newspapers concentrated on preventing collective losses more than Asian American newspapers. The content analysis demonstrates that the issue priorities varied between the corpora, especially with respect to policy contexts. Gaining access to government resources was a more urgent issue for Asian Americans, while reducing or ending state violence, such as police brutality, was a more pressing matter for African Americans. It also helped avoid extreme interpretations of the machine coding, as the misalignment of political agendas between the two corpora widened up to 10 times when the training data were measured using the minimum, rather than the maximum, reliability threshold.
The Collective Intelligence based Program to Accelerate Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals as a Case Study for Collectively Intelligent Program Design
Authors: Williams Andy E
Published: April 2020

General Collective Intelligence (GCI) are software platforms that organize groups into a single collective intelligence with general problem solving ability. In doing so a GCI has the potential to give groups vastly more ability to address collective challenges such as the SDGs. A GCI is a significant infrastructure investment. The Collective Intelligence based Program to Accelerate Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (CIPAA-SDGs) however is designed to implement a GCI in phases so that the cost to any single project is far outweighed by the potential benefits. The phasing of that GCI development in the CIPAA-SDGs program design is used here as a case study for collectively intelligent program design.

Mobbing w jednostkach sektora finansów publicznych
Authors: Szewczyk Helena
Published: April 2020

Szczególne prawo pracy obejmuje pragmatyki służbowe (pracownicze), występujące w sferze publicznej. Mamy tu do czynienia ze sferą zatrudnienia określaną jako sfera budżetowa (państwowa i samorządowa), obejmującą „jednostki sektora finansów publicznych”, wymienione w art. 9 ustawy o finansach publicznych. Pracodawcy tej sfery mają odrębny status administracyjny i pewną odrębność administracyjnoprawną wobec władz, które je tworzą. Sektor publiczny, dzięki rozbudowanemu aparatowibiurokratycznemu oraz mającemu oparcie w zasadzie hierarchiczności stosun-kowi podległości służbowej, stanowi szczególnie podatny grunt dla mobbingu, który wywołuje negatywne skutki nie tylko dla zatrudnionych tam osób, ale również dla członków ich rodzin, interesantów i dla całego społeczeństwa. W tzw. sferze budżetowej zasady wyodrębniania poszczególnych jednostek organizacyjnych będących pracodawcami, ich przekształceń i likwidacji, a także obsady stanowisk kierowniczych są bardziej sztywne. Mobberzy autorytarni doskonale czują się w sektorze publicznym, gdzie dopuszczenie do awansów, podwyżek, premii, prestiżowych zadań ma charakter uznaniowy, a ostateczna decyzja zależy od zwierzchnika. Nękanie lub zastraszanie musi charakteryzować się jednak więcej niż małą uciążliwością oraz trwać dłuższy czas, aby mogło zostać zakwalifikowane jako mobbing w rozumieniu art. 943 § 2 k.p.

Correlates of perceived military to civilian transition challenges among Canadian Armed Forces Veterans
Authors: Lee Jennifer E. C. , Dursun Sanela , Skomorovsky Alla , Thompson James M.
Published: April 2020

Introduction: Analyses of the Canadian Armed Forces Transition and Well-Being Survey (CAFTWS) were conducted to identify the most prominent challenges faced by Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Veterans during their military to civilian transition, and to assess the associations of various characteristics, including release type and health status, with experiencing such challenges. Methods: Prevalence estimates and logistic regression analyses were computed on data from the CAFTWS, which was administered in 2017 to 1,414 Regular Force Veterans released from the CAF in the previous year. Results: The two (of seven) perceived transition challenges with the strongest associations with difficult post-military adjustment were loss of military identity (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 5.4) and financial preparedness (AOR = 2.3). In adjusted regression analyses, Veterans who had a non-commissioned rank, primarily served in the army, 10–19 years of service, a medical release, and poor physical or mental health, were more likely to report loss of military identity. Veterans who had a junior non-commissioned rank, a medical release, and poor physical or mental health were more likely to report challenges with financial preparedness. Furthermore, significant interaction effects between Veterans’ release type and their health status were observed. Discussion: This study extends prior research to inform ongoing efforts to support the well-being of CAF members adjusting to post-service life. Findings emphasize the importance of preparing transitioning service members and civilian communities for the social identity challenges they may encounter. Findings also support the value of programs and services that help prepare transitioning service members with managing finances, finding education and employment, relocating, finding health care providers, and understanding benefits and services.
Exploring harm reduction among Canadian Veterans experiencing homelessness
Authors: Marsella Olivia , Forchuk Cheryl , Oudshoorn Abe
Published: April 2020

Introduction: In Canada, Veteran homelessness is an increasing concern. It is estimated that approximately 2,950 Veterans experienced homelessness in 2016. Some may also have substance use disorders, which has been linked to loss of housing and homelessness many years after exiting military service. A strategy that facilitates housing stability and reduces the harms of substance use is harm reduction. This study explored how Veterans who have experienced homelessness perceive and experience harm reduction. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of data collected from the Canadian Model for Housing and Support of Veterans Experiencing Homelessness study that evaluated a Veteran-specific housing model in four Canadian cities. In the primary study, 78 participants received housing and related programming intervention. Focus groups with Veterans occurred at each of the four housing sites from 2012 to 2014. Across all sites, 24 Veterans attended both the 2012 and 2013 focus groups. A total of 39 Veterans attended the final focus groups in 2014. The authors conducted a thematic analysis of Veteran focus group data where data were extracted from transcripts and organized into themes. Results: Various themes emerged from the data including (1) regimented structure, (2) understanding both worlds, (3) congruent recovery journeys, (4) location close enough to services, far enough from harm, and (5) harm reduction is housing stability and housing stability is harm reduction. These themes represent the interface between military culture and homeless culture. Overall, Veterans considered harm reduction as an essential component of housing. Discussion: This study has shown that harm reduction may be part of the solution to ending Veteran homelessness in Canada. The findings of this study may inform how Veteran housing and substance use needs are addressed. Additional research is needed to explore further how harm reduction can be effectively incorporated into Housing First for Veterans.
Understanding Supervisory Practices: Commonalities and Differences in Ways of Working with Doctoral Writers
Authors: Cayley Rachael
Published: April 2020

Thesis supervision is a crucial aspect of the doctoral writing experience. While scholarly attention to both doctoral writing and supervisory dynamics is increasing, supervisory support of doctoral students as novice academic writers is still an under-investigated topic. Not having a clear understanding of the way supervisors treat writing gives insufficient insight into a crucial aspect of the doctoral experience. To counter this lack of information about supervision as it pertains to writing, I conducted interviews with seven supervisors who were identified by their doctoral students as a good supervisor of writing. In this paper, I will discuss the practices that unified and those that distinguished these supervisors in their role as supporters of doctoral writing. The supervisors interviewed expressed similar ideas in three areas: reflexivity about academic writing; awareness of variability among doctoral writers; and acceptance of the profound challenges facing doctoral writers. In three other key areas, the supervisors expressed significant differences: attitudes towards the appropriate degree of supervisory support; commitment to writing support as professional development; and facilitation of peer mentoring. These patterns of commonality and difference suggest that good supervisory writing support may allow for significant variations while still drawing upon crucial shared precepts.
Psychological and Linguistic Peculiarities of English Mastering by the Children of Young School Age in the Process of Associative Symbols Usage
Authors: Gusak Liudmyla , Shapran Olga , Shapran Yurii
Published: April 2020

Objective. The psychological features of the associative symbol method in the study of children who learn foreign languages are considered in the article.

Research methods: theoretical (analysis, systematization, generalization of modern literature); empirical (experimental work using the ASM); statistical (methods of quantitative and qualitative processing of the obtained research results, statistical calculation according to the Pearson homogeneity criterion).

Results. The authors have examined the essence of the «association» concept in modern psychology and psychophysiological mechanisms of creating of associative relationships in the human mind. It was discovered that associative zones directly affect the process of remembering of very complex information, especially in elementary school pupils. Taking into account associations by type of formation (similarity, contrast, contiguity in space and time, cause and effect), it is found that associative relations and parallels arise on the basis of agreement of some similarity and compatibility of elements, or their opposites. Associations that reflect the ancestral and cause-and-effect relationships between objects of the environment are more meaningful than others. The study takes into account a set of conditions that cause the emergence of verbal associations, because they are based on personal, subjective, cultural experience of a person and involves the connection between individual neuro-psychic acts, thoughts, ideas, feelings of personality. It is proven that elementary school pupils learn foreign words much faster if the words are related with a particular image or association, which conforms to the associative symbol method, which is one of the most effective ways to semantise lexical units. Based on the fundamental characteristics of the ASM, it is determined that this method involves combinations of language, gestures, facial expressions, body language, language code ideas and associations.

Conclusions. It is proved that the use of the associative symbol method in learning of a foreign language allows younger students to perceive language material with the help of all analyzers: visual, auditory, speech and motor ones. The process of new words and expressions learning with this method turns into fun and play. An important aspect and advantage of using the associative symbol method is lesser amount of tirelessness of elementary school pupils, which allows to effectively implement language learning through their personal activity. The effectiveness of ASM implementation in the practice of educational activity of Lutsk schools is proved by the method of mathematical statistics (χ2 criterion)
Formation of Dialogic Interactions in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Skrypnyk Tetiana , Lozova Olga
Published: April 2020

Introduction. In the course of the presented research, the aim was to identify a group of factors that determine the so-called “inability to dialogue” in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and to analyze possible ways of forming dialogic interactions in them.

Methods. The methods of analysis, systematization, generalization and theoretical triangulation of scientific data have been applied.

Results. As a result of the analysis, problems caused by socio-pragmatic situations were attributed to: difficulties in switching the communicative role of “the speaker” to “the listener”; the lack of positive feedback; alienation from the environment; weakness of communication initiation; monologic manipulability, in which the need to produce a statement is not objectified in the motive and is not realized in the purpose of the statement. Problems associated with psycholinguistic pragmatics include: disturbance of rhythmic-temporal synchronized communication; ignoring partner’s speech behavior; linguistic aspects of expression (content and construction of verbal reactions), extralinguistic aspects of expression (gestures, nuances, intonations, emotions); disturbance of the structure of the image and its “sensual tissue”; inability to provide thematic focus of the message; difficulties in forming “verbal networks”; deficiency of socio-pragmatic conclusions (misunderstanding of hidden meanings). The Program of Dialogical Interaction Formation in Children with ASD is proposed as a system of psycho-corrective measures, concluded in accordance with the principles of social orientation, nature compliance and in partnership with the RAS-affected child’s family. The program activates mechanisms of reflection, adaptive response and imitation in children with autism (the participants of the dialogue). The content of the components of the Program is structured according to the state of functional limitations of the communication and speech sphere of children with autism, the methods used and the expected results.
Multidisciplinary Nature of the Psycholinguistic Discourse Neuroeconomics
Authors: Tkach Tamara , Tkach Anatoliy , Rekun Ivan
Published: April 2020

Introduction. The article is devoted to the issues of multidisciplinary interaction in new scientific fields, which involve a wide variety of convergences, no matter how strange at first glance they may seem. One of these phenomena is the interaction of psycholinguistics and neuroeconomics.

The goal. The article examines the transition of modern science to multidisciplinary discourse, which makes it necessary to conceptualize and possibly operationalize methods of psycholinguistics. The conceptualization of new areas of neuroeconomics, in a psycholinguistic context, presupposes a certain mental experience that includes, in addition to the processes of creating new concepts and contextual economic knowledge, also defining the role of interests, intentions, emotions in human economic activity.

Methods. Multivariate analysis, comparative analysis, extrapolation.

Results. It is proved that in recent decades the development of new areas of economic science, namely those related to the development of neuroeconomics, has significantly expanded the field of psycholinguistics. The production of new paradigms of economic theory, the formation of the corresponding definitions, objects requires the design and definition of them both in form and in content. It considers the need for a theoretical and orderly definition of the functional meaning of the psycholinguistic context of new definitions, the result of which can be a conceptual system for communication between specialists in various fields of science at the level of their professional understanding. It seems that the central issues in the psycholinguistic discourse of neuroeconomics have become the relationship between economics, psychology, linguistics and psycholinguistics. Such connection is undoubtedly of a multidisciplinary nature, which contributes to the deepening of the relationship between scientific thought, culture and language and became the impetus for understanding the nature of human cognition at a higher, multidisciplinary level of development of science. This is a necessary component for understanding the meanings and structure of concepts, terms and definitions, as well as communications at a higher scientific level.

Conclusions. It is concluded that new areas of neuroeconomics such as behavioral economics, behavioral finance, emotional economics, psychological economics, have become areas of economic theory that, explicitly or implicitly, take into account the psychological characteristics of human perception and behavior in the process of economic activity. These definitions catalyze the theoretical integration of various scientific fields, and, above all, psycholinguistic science.
Semantic Representation of Social and Role Identification in Subject Self-Organization of Personality
Authors: Dyakov Sergey
Published: April 2020

Objective. Based on the psycholongvistic approach, which is widely represented in world personology and psychosemantics, revealing the subjective descriptive characteristics of a person, an attempt is made to build a model and diagnostic technique for mental personality self-organization (PSO).

Material and method. The psycholinguistic method of theoretical structuring and systematization of scientific and theoretical data is presented in the perspective of the subjective paradigm and methodology of the system-synergetic approach (psychological and philosophical) is presented in the construction of a categorical-conceptual model of subjectivity in PSO. Based on the method of categorical-conceptual modeling, a model and methodology for semantic analysis and assessment of subjectness self-organization of personality based on individual characteristics of the experience of social-role identification, reflecting the characteristics of feelings and constructs of understanding that determine the conscious will of the subject, is developed.

Results. Psycholinguistic scales of semantic constructs are highlighted of the psychic (functional and motivational) and activity (professional, business, and creative) levels of subjectivity are distinguished. The empirical material reflects the verification of the semantic model and methodology. Modified repertoire lattices by J. Kelly and expert assessment in semantic analysis and classification of constructs served as a method of collecting empirical data. An array of constructs obtained (N=2000) reflects the well-known categorical-conceptual aspects of psychic phenomena (processes-states-properties) and external environmental and sociocultural characteristics, thus revealing the socio-psychological aspects of social-role personality identification, which allows analysis and subjectness assessment. Findings. The presented semantic scales of qualities and personality traits (factors of socio-psychological identification) reveal the systemic relationship and the level structure of the PSO, and also make it possible to assess subjectness.

The present study aimed to analyze the profile and preferences of the beef consumer in the city of Uruçuí - PI. The methodology used was survey type, cross-sectional, through the application of a structured questionnaire in order to obtain information on the profile and habits of beef consumption in that municipality. The research was conducted from November to December 2016 in Uruçuí-PI, with residents randomly selected in the neighborhoods Aeroporto, Água Branca, Centro and Malvinas, totaling 60 respondents, 15 people interviewed for each neighborhood. The questionnaire consisted of 13 questions addressing the consumption preference of different varieties of meat and beef cuts, the quantity, frequency of consumption, as well as characteristics of the purchase place and quality of beef offered. The families of Uruçui have preference for beef, purchased from butchers, with the rib being the most consumed cut. Research has shown that the consumption of beef by most households is two to three times a week, with two to five kilograms purchased weekly. The respondents consider important the appearance of the product and that the appearance and hygiene of the place influence the customer at the time of purchase. Although many of the respondents regularly consume beef, they consider it an expensive meat, but a nutritious food.
Intrauterine infusion reduces inflammatory status and could be increased the embryo recovery in mares with chronic endometritis

Published: April 2020

Endometritis, which refers to chronic inflammation of the superficial layers of the uterus, is caused by a failure of the defense mechanism to eliminate antigens, and is a common cause of infertility in mares. Therefore, ultrasound examination is essential during diagnosis to perform the differentials. Typically, treatments that cleanse the uterus are used to treat endometritis and are they also beneficial in mare reproduction. However, alternative therapies, which are less expensive, are needed for the treatment of this disease. Taking this into account, ozone gas was used to control the microorganisms associated with this disease (virus, bacteria, and fungi). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of ozonized Lactated Ringer’s Solution (LRS) infused into the uterus, as an alternative therapy for recurrent endometritis. Five animals (n = 5) with previous reproductive issues were treated during the estrus phase with ozonized Lactated Ringer’s Solution. Cytology, microbiology, and uterine and ovarian ultrasound examinations were performed to evaluate uterine edema and follicular dynamics. At the end of the treatment, 20% of the animals showed positive results in embryo recovery. Such improvement in embryo recovery is the caused by the decrease in polymorphonuclear cells and the absence of infection by microorganisms in the uterus. In some mares, it was possible to observe a recovery in embryo production despite a history of infertility. Therefore, the use of ozone in the uterus could modulate inflammatory responses to increase embryo recovery in mares with fertility problems.

Brazil is the sixth country in egg production in the world scenario, with an approximate production of 48 billion eggs, moving an amount of R $ 13.5 billion, figures that represent the importance of the sector for domestic livestock. The main destination of Brazilian egg production is the domestic market, which holds 99.5% of production, with an estimated average consumption of 200 eggs per capita. Laying birds have evolved significantly in recent years, thanks to the genetic improvement that has provided more productive, long-lived and more health-resistant chickens. Besides the increase in productivity, there was an improvement in the animal as a whole, with greater rusticity, resistance to pathogens, adaptability to different types of climate and environment, better bark quality until the end of laying, persistence of peak production, greater efficiency. food and viability. But in order for this genetic potential to be fully utilized, it is vital that the birds are properly managed, and it is of fundamental importance that they have their proper nutritional plan, taking into account their age, light program, vaccine program, appropriate facilities. according to the production system, which offers the environmental conditions necessary for the comfort of birds, drinking water and quality, among others. And also take into account the care of the final product, periodic collection, selection and storage, as all this will reflect both the productive efficiency and the quality of the product produced. The aim of this bibliographic review was to address the main aspects related to the factors that affect egg quality.

This study aims to was a clinical case report relating the use of infrared thermography (IR) associated to the ozone therapy as complementary tools to diagnose and treat a non-infectious inflammatory process in the locomotor system of an athlete-horse of the Amazon. The heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and rectal temperature (RT) were measured both rest and after walking. Radiographic evaluation, complete hemogram and creatine phosphokinase dosage (CPK) were primarily conducted. The IR examination was additionally undertaken, and the thermograms were analyzed using Flir Tools. Ozone therapy was performed via intramuscular in the scapular area. All comparisons were done using ANOVA and Tukey test (5%). The animal presented HR, RR, and RT all within normal ranges. When the animal was made to walk it demonstrated pain, and HR (48 beats.min-1) and RR (60 breaths.min-1). The creatine phosphokinase dosage was 79 UL-1 and the IR showed that the thoracic region had a surface temperature of up to 39.1ºC, indicating of an inflammatory process. After the ozone therapy was a reduction in the white color pattern from 39.1ºC to 37.2ºC. The infrared thermography is an efficient technique that can be used for the diagnosis of inflammation, and ozone therapy is an innovative treatment.

The method of improving the microbiological safety of food products based on the use of an electrochemically activated solution of chlorine-oxygen and hydroperoxide compounds was researched. The issue of food products cleaning is very relevant in catering. It’s usually used tap water for cleaning of vegetables and fruits, not disinfectant solutions or physical processing methods. During the analysis of this problem, several experiments were conducted with the «Анолит АНК СУПЕР» (anolyte) as a disinfectant for food products. The active agents of this solution are represented by a mixture of highly active metastable chlorine-oxygen and hydroperoxide compounds. To study the action of the anolyte, a research was conducted to determine the total microbial number (QMAFAnM) and the presence of yeast and fungi on the surfaces of the selected raw materials. It was used microbiological rapid tests «Петритест». Samples were: fresh carrots, fresh celery (leaf), fresh apples. During the research of raw materials treated with water supplied by a centralized drinking water supply system, it was determined that its level of contamination is large. When the samples treated with a disinfectant solution, a positive effect was observed: no seeds were found on the test materials. Anolyte’s using did not affect the organoleptic Евразийский Союз Ученых (ЕСУ) # 3(72), 2020 5 indicators: freshly squeezed juice was made from the processed raw materials and tasted and smelled like the drink which was made from fruits and vegetables and treated by tap water. A comparative analysis of the results was carried out and it was found that the use of the test solution had a positive effect on the microbiological safety of raw materials

L’articolo presenta un’approfondita revisione del libro di James M. Bos Reconsidering the Date and the Provenance of the Book of Hosea. The Case for the Persian-Period Yehud, sullo sfondo del problema del neostoricismo negli studi biblici. Dopo aver tracciato una breve panoramica sul fenomeno del neostoricismo in generale (la sua genesi e il suo successivo sviluppo nel corso degli anni), viene discusso l’approccio di Bos in base al confronto con tali premesse ideologico-filosofiche. A tal proposito viene presentata in modo dettagliato l’intera struttura del libro di Bos, assieme alla valutazione critica dell’argomentazione da lui addotta. L’autore dell’articolo ritiene che l’approccio neostoricista alla Bibbia sia del tutto soggettivo e sbagliato, in quanto assolutizza un principio filosofico e non lascia spazio per caso, dubbio o fede.
