Neuroscience meets behavior: a systematic literature review on Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain combined with real-world digital phenotyping
Authors: Triana Ana Maria , Saramäki Jari , Glerean Enrico , Hayward Nick
Published: June 2023

A primary goal of neuroscience is to understand the relationship between the brain and behavior. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examines brain structure and function under controlled conditions, digital phenotyping via portable automatic devices (PAD) quantifies behavior in real-world settings. Combining these two technologies may bridge the gap between brain imaging, physiology, and real-time behavior, enhancing the generalizability of laboratory and clinical findings. However, the use of MRI and data from PADs outside the MRI scanner remains underexplored. Herein, we present a PRISMA systematic literature review that identifies and analyzes the current state of research on the integration of brain MRI and PADs. PubMed and Scopus were automatically searched using keywords covering various MRI techniques and PADs. Abstracts were screened to only include articles that collected MRI brain data and PAD data outside the laboratory environment. Full-text screening was then conducted to ensure included articles combined quantitative data from MRI with data from PADs, yielding 94 selected papers for a total of N = 14778 subjects. Results were reported as cross-frequency tables between brain imaging and behavior sampling methods and patterns were identified through network analysis. Furthermore, brain maps reported in the studies were synthesized according to the measurement modalities that were used. Results demonstrate the feasibility of integrating MRI and PADs across various study designs, patient and control populations, and age groups. The majority of published literature combines functional, T1-weighted, and diffusion weighted MRI with physical activity sensors, ecological momentary assessment via PADs, and sleep. The literature further highlights specific brain regions frequently correlated with distinct MRI-PAD combinations. These combinations enable in-depth studies on how physiology, brain function and behavior influence each other. Our review highlights the potential for constructing brain-behavior models that extend beyond the scanner and into real-world contexts.

The role of financing small agricultural projects in increasing production and reducing unemployment in Iraq for the period 1985-2015
Authors: م.د. جعفر باقر الدجيلي
Published: June 2023

The agricultural sector in Iraq is characterized by the presence of tens of thousands of small projects, some of which are due to agricultural ownership and tenure laws, and the other part is due to inheritance laws, while there are several thousand small agricultural projects due to agricultural reform laws, as well as the presence of several thousand poultry fields, fish lakes and cow stations, which It contributes to the provision of food at high rates and its contribution to the formation of the gross domestic product and its employment for tens of thousands of workers and depends on the state in the financing process through the agricultural bank mainly.
The process of financing small projects is an urgent necessity in order to serve agricultural development due to the weak financial capabilities of the owners of small projects, so you find that when granted loans, they promote production and employment of the unemployed, while in periods of low financing and loans, production decreases due to the suspension of thousands of agricultural, plant and animal projects, leaving behind them. Thousands of unemployed people, so the financing is the dynamo that drives the activity of small agricultural projects.

Authors: انوار داخل هندول  , أ.د. جواد كاظم خضير الموسوي
Published: June 2023

Although linear time series models have wide applications for economic phenomena in general, they are not able to capture the behavior of many economic phenomena and applications, especially financial ones. As this type of series is characterized by modeling the kinetic state of the phenomena of asymmetry, structural changes, threshold, and others. Therefore, this shortcoming in linear modeling led to the emergence of non-linear models, which are models of various formats and not a model in one general format, as is the case in linear modeling.
In order to overcome this shortcoming, most recent studies have adopted non-linear modeling, and (Tong, 1978) was one of the first who made a qualitative leap in the application of this type of models that depend on the analysis of the dynamics of financial and monetary time series and others, including autoregressive models of the self-threshold. (SETAR).
This research aims to apply the (SETAR) model to a sample that represents the series of the percentage change in the shares of the Iraq Stock Exchange for the index (ISX60) for a group of companies, and then make an applied comparison of the methods of the mentioned model.
Through the results of the applied side, it was found that the appropriate model for the research sample is the model SETAR (2;2,0) with the threshold (\gamma = 0.25). The model has outperformed SETAR (2;2,0) for having the lowest values ​​of the criteria (AIC, BIC, pooled-AIC, MAPE), and this model also outperformed the linear model AR (1).Research extracted from a master's thesis

Authors: م. اسيا حمود حسين
Published: June 2023

The research aims to study a very important topic, which is the classification of a group of factors affecting maternal mortality at birth, using one of the important statistical methods in classification, which is the hierarchical cluster analysis method, which in turn depends on data analysis and its adoption in classifying factors based on the clusters extracted from the analysis. Cluster analysis has many features and characteristics that facilitate the process of classification and aggregation, consisting of clusters whose vocabulary is similar to some characteristics and differs with the vocabulary of other clusters. Hierarchical cluster analysis can also display clustering results based on tree diagrams that show the steps of clustering, using hierarchical clustering methods (single link method, comprehensive linking method, central linking method, median linking method, hierarchical linking method) from the results of the hierarchical analysis methods. We note that these methods were similar in their results, all of them unanimously agreed that Salah al-Din governorate is the most affected by factors leading to maternal mortality, followed by the northern governorates (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok), Anbar, and then the central regions represented by (the Nursing Home and Medical City).
Роль архетипної символіки в психомалюнках
Authors: Сергата Інеса
Published: June 2023

У статті розкривається значення та сутність понять «архетип» та «символізація» в контексті глибинного аналізу психомалюнків. Зосереджується увага на ролі архетипної символізації у створенні образів в психомалюнках. Для роботи практичного психолога з психомалюнками і здійснення їхнього глибинного аналізу, важливим є розуміння психіки у її цілісності – «свідоме / несвідоме» та врахування індивідуальної неповторності психіки кожного респондента.В статті описано механізми символізації (натяк, згущення, зміщення) та їхні взаємозв’язки з архетипними символами. Окреслено спільність архетипної символіки в психомалюнках та сновидіннях. Розкрито сутність глибинного пізнання психіки. Охарактеризовано глибинно-корекційний прийом аналізу психомалюнків, який базується на психодинамічній теорії та практиці глибинного пізнання психіки в її цілісності (свідоме / несвідоме). Означено особливості діагностико-корекційного процесу за методом АСПП, який передбачає використання візуалізованих засобів глибинного пізнання (психомалюнки, репродукції художніх полотен тощо). В глибинній психокорекції за методом АСПП використання комплексу тематичних психомалюнків та репродукційї художніх полотен має на меті проілюструвати здатність психіки до перекодування із ідеальної реальності в матеріалізовану, візуалізовану в малюнках, зображеннях. Окремий малюнок не може каталізувати динаміку пізнання психіки у її цілісності (свідоме / несвідоме), тому важливим моментом є використання саме комплексу тематичних психомалюнків із доповненням репродукцій художніх полотен. При глибинному психоаналізі малюнків вагомим аспектом є врахування: архетипної символіки адже вона наближена до мови несвідомого) і сприяє репрезентації витісненого змісту та діалогу, що актуалізує мову свідомого.
Femitags in the networks and in the streets: 50 hashtags for feminist activism in Latin America
Authors: Rovira-Sancho Guiomar , Morales-i-Gras Jordi
Published: June 2023

The aim of this article is to characterize the main hashtags of Mexican feminist activism as part of the Latin American connected crowds, on the basis of a review of the most popular trends between 2016 and 2021 on Twitter. A total of 50 hashtags have been selected that, due to their repeated use, are characterized as femitags, that is, performative meta-discursive identifiers that mainly do three things: disseminate and tune in to frames of protest; extend women’s voices and slogans; and mobilize synchronic, diachronic, and transnational repertoires of collective action. These femitags appear in situated contexts, usually around events such as new cases of violence against women and calls to take to the streets, but with their extension, they become meta-communicative labels that articulate different activist practices. This study reveals not only their functions, but also their role as articulators of networked mobilizations, demonstrating the profound online and real-life intertwining of the fourth wave of Mexican, Latin American, and Spanish-speaking feminism.

Students’ Perception of Using Screencast Video Feedback in EFL Writing Class
Authors: Pachuashvili Nato
Published: June 2023

The provision of feedback is an inseparable part of the learning-to-write process. It involves teachers’ extensive engagement in responding to learners’ written works by providing explanations of errors and offering suggestions for improvement. High-quality feedback, in return, promotes students’ active participation and enhances their motivation in their writing performance. The advent of modern technology brought the necessity to reconsider traditional written corrective feedback practices and enabled the provision of audio and video feedback through screencast technology. The latter can offer alternative ways to written corrective feedback in writing instruction and provide instructors, as well as learners, with new opportunities for writing skill development. In light of the above-mentioned, the goal of this study is to investigate EFL students’ perceptions of receiving screencast video feedback in their writing course. To explore students' perception of video feedback, an online questionnaire was applied to a group of 30 students studying English writing as part of the First Certificate in English course. The emphasis of the questionnaire was on the benefits of screencast technology in providing oral feedback and the challenges faced by the participants. It also investigated the participants' overall experience of receiving video feedback. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of the participants perceived screencast video feedback positively highlighting its nature of being clear, individualized, supportive, and engaging.

Obesity is described as the accumulation of excess body fat. Several health issues are caused by excess fat, including cancer, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, obesity rates among schoolchildren and young adults are rising globally, putting young people at risk of chronic diseases. Genetics, epigenetic modification, epigenomics, and environmental factors influence inheritance patterns significantly. This systematic study aimed to classify and investigate the polymorphisms of novel candidate obesity genes. Several genes have been suggested, includingat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), leptin gene (LEP), leptin receptor gene (LEPR), peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor gamma gene (PPARG), melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), insulin-induced gene 2 (INSIG2), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1), adrenoceptor beta 2 (ADRB2), and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2). The study’s literature review identified genes in scientific papers published in databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, and others over the past three decades. There is evidence that genetic variations contribute to childhood obesity, adolescent obesity, and young adult obesity. Identifying functional differences and further defining the implicated molecularly and physiologically involved genes andpathways in efficient therapeutic approaches in fighting. Technological advances have recently demonstrated that genetic changes and mutations can be used as biological markers, risk indicators, and therapeutic targets.

CONSTRUCTING THE IMAGE OF THE PAKISTAN ARMED FORCES IN THE 21st CENTURY
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Saint-Petersburg, Russia, Makhlaiuk Artur
Published: June 2023

This article examines the image of the armed forces of Pakistan in the XXI century. It was revealed that in the 21st century the armed forces of Pakistan and, in particular, a special unit (Inter-Services Public Relations), responsible for public relations, are actively working on constructing the necessary image of the Armed Forces. We see that the strategy of Inter-Services Public Relations covers a large number of channels (social networks, magazines, and so on). The article examines the historical context and various channels of communication: primarily the presence in social networks (both in video and in text format). The construction of the image after the conflict in Kargil in 1999 and the coming to power of P. Musharraf is considered. After these events, an active process was launched to work on the image of the armed forces both in the media and in the ISPR materials. It was revealed that the video materials are primarily aimed at the widest possible audience, also covering various ethnic groups; various problems related to the armed forces (for example, counter-terrorism operations). It is shown that two main directions of image construction can be distinguished: positive-aggressive, that is, armed forces equipped with the most advanced types of weapons that defeat the enemy; emotional – the armed forces value and honor the heroes who gave their lives for their homeland. A special place is occupied by the emotional involvement of the population, as a result of which the image of the armed forces is constructed as a force that protects the Motherland from any enemies, and the hero-soldier turns out to be the object of the nation's love. Much attention is paid to the personality of the Chief of the Army Staff, whose image, similar to the hero soldier, can be seen as the image of the armed forces as a whole.

Biphenyl is a preferred scaffold that can be found in a number of drugs due to its ability to bind with a wide variety of proteins having high specificity. In order to have better insights into the structure and properties of such useful molecules, the title compound is synthesized by standard chemical means. Direct methods were employed for X-ray structure determination. The molecular geometry has been optimized using the Hatree-Fock and Density functional theory methods. The electrostatic potential map (MEP) and molecular orbitals (FMOs) have been computed using the density functional theory. The theoretical characterization including HS and interaction contribution reveals the existence of a substantial number of H...H (64.3%) contacts. The three-dimensional energy frameworks have been used for the total interaction energy analysis. The molecular docking study with oncogene protein (PDB ID: 5P21) suggests that the molecule may lead to the development of some novel drugs for the treatment of cancer.

Published: June 2023

Anisotropic polymerization of 5-hydroxy isophthalic acid and isophthalic acid with 2,5-diamino 1,4-benzene dithiol dihydrochloride (DABDT.2 HCl) affords the polymer poly {[benzo (1,2-d: 4,5-d’) bisthiazole-2, 6 diyl]-1,3 phenylene} and poly {[benzo (1,2-d: 4,5-d’) bisthiazole-2, 6 diyl]-1,3(5-hydroxy phenylene)}. Both the polymers were soluble in methanesulphonic acid and chlorosulphonic acid. The polybenzobisthiazoles do not show any glass transition temperature (Tg) by DSC analysis. The polybenzobisthiazoles were stable up to 400oC in a nitrogen environment, according to thermo gravimetric measurements. Elemental analysis and spectroscopic comparison of the polymers with the appropriate model compounds were used to confirm the polymer structures. The polymers' inherent viscosity reached 4.2 dL/g (methanesulphonic acid, 30oC).
APPLICATION OF SILK PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE AS A POTENT ANTI-CORROSIVE AGENT FOR MILD STEEL IN HCl SOLUTION
Authors: V. Nijarubini  , J. Mallika
Published: June 2023

The study focuses on broadening the application of Silk Protein Hydrolysate (SPH) towards conventional metal protection of metallic materials. The inhibitory potentials of SPH against corrosion of mild steel in 1 N HCl media are analyzed through weight loss, electrochemical, and surface morphological techniques. The assessment of the inhibitor effectiveness, kinetic and thermodynamic variables was done at the temperature of 303 – 333 K. The studies exhibited superior anti-corrosion efficacy of 93 % for 10 ppm SPH at 303 K and good maintenance in corrosion control is seen with temperature rise. The SPH assimilation at the metal surface follows the Langmuir adsorption model with free energy values lower than -20 KJ/mol. Potentiodynamic polarization studies evince the mode of corrosion protection to be mixed overall with cathodic predominance. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy describes the resistive and capacitive behavior through Rct and Cdl values signifying the physical barrier prevailing on the metal surface. Surface monitoring through SEM-EDS reveals the firm adherence of SPH to the metallic surface, XRD study characterizes the corrosion products formed in the process. The roughness variables derived from AFM imaging remark the stable protective layer formed by the SPH molecules. The defensive film formed smoothes the metal surface leading to an enhanced water contact angle.

Authors: Venher Olena , Kotskyi Maksym
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the research is to analyze the trends and technologies in contemporary cinema that have emerged in the process of technical and digital progress and study the implementation specifics of artistic and technical means of realizing a director’s idea in the modern film industry, and prove the inextricable link between the technique (technical means) and the director’s artistic creativity. The research methodology consists of the following methods: theoretical – to analyze and systematize the literature on the research problem; terminological – to clarify basic concepts (creative idea, sound, colour, format, editing, 3D technologies); analysis and synthesis of theoretical and practical material on the topic of “director’s idea”, which made it possible to consider the object of research both in general and its projections. The scientific novelty lies in the innovative approach to studying the subject matter, which is in the interdisciplinary field – between the use of modern technologies and the art of directing. The emphasis is placed on synthesizing heterogeneous tools for creating a quality film industry product – from the director’s creative idea and script writing to the use of modern 3D technologies in the film industry. The issue of maintaining a balance between a computerized film industry product and a traditional one was further developed; maintaining this balance depends, on the one hand, on the needs of the target public and, on the other hand, on the embodiment of the director’s personal vision. Conclusions. The article has analyzed the artistic and technical means of realizing a director's idea in contemporary cinema. Through the analysis of professional literature and information sources, it has been proved that the semiotic combination of image and sound, format, colour, editing and timing of the frame should be combined with the director's worldview. The factors that influence the professional use of innovative technologies and simultaneously highlight the plot and idea of the director are identified.

Authors: Habash Mohammed M. , Hammoudi Yahya K. , Sulaiman Tharwat I.
Published: June 2023

Background: Anastomosis may be done with the help of stapling devices, by using double layered suturing technique or by a single layer technique.Patients and methods: A prospective study conducted in Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Iraq.  A total of sixty- four patients were included in this study. They were divided into two groups; group A, 28 patients, single layer seromuscular continuous anastomosis was done and group B, 36 patients underwent conventional double layered anastomosis.Objective: The aim of the study is to prove that a single layer continuous technique can be constructed in a significantly less time with similar rate of complications compared with two layers technique.
Results: There were, 15 male (53.6%) and 13 (46.4%) female within group A and 20 (55.6%) male and 16 (44.4%) female within the group B. There was no significant difference in gender distribution or mean age between or within groups. Bullet and sharp nail injuries to the abdomen were the most common causative agents followed by malignant disease of GIT. Wound infection was the most frequent complication in both groups as fourteen patient out of 64 (21.9%) developed wound infection; 8 of them were among group B.  There was no significant difference in the incidence of anastomotic leakage; in group A was 3.6%, while in group B was 4.7%. The average time for the construction of the single layer anastomosis was 20 min and in double layer it was 35 min. The difference in average time is statistically significant
Conclusion: The single-layer continuous anastomosis requires less time to construct and has a similar risk of leakage compared with the two-layer technique. It also costs less than any other method and can be safely introduced into a surgical training program.
Guidance to best tools and practices for systematic reviews1
Authors: Kolaski Kat , Romeiser Logan Lynne , Ioannidis John P.A.
Published: June 2023

Data continue to accumulate indicating that many systematic reviews are methodologically flawed, biased, redundant, or uninformative. Some improvements have occurred in recent years based on empirical methods research and standardization of appraisal tools; however, many authors do not routinely or consistently apply these updated methods. In addition, guideline developers, peer reviewers, and journal editors often disregard current methodological standards. Although extensively acknowledged and explored in the methodological literature, most clinicians seem unaware of these issues and may automatically accept evidence syntheses (and clinical practice guidelines based on their conclusions) as trustworthy. A plethora of methods and tools are recommended for the development and evaluation of evidence syntheses. It is important to understand what these are intended to do (and cannot do) and how they can be utilized. Our objective is to distill this sprawling information into a format that is understandable and readily accessible to authors, peer reviewers, and editors. In doing so, we aim to promote appreciation and understanding of the demanding science of evidence synthesis among stakeholders. We focus on well-documented deficiencies in key components of evidence syntheses to elucidate the rationale for current standards. The constructs underlying the tools developed to assess reporting, risk of bias, and methodological quality of evidence syntheses are distinguished from those involved in determining overall certainty of a body of evidence. Another important distinction is made between those tools used by authors to develop their syntheses as opposed to those used to ultimately judge their work. Exemplar methods and research practices are described, complemented by novel pragmatic strategies to improve evidence syntheses. The latter include preferred terminology and a scheme to characterize types of research evidence. We organize best practice resources in a Concise Guide that can be widely adopted and adapted for routine implementation by authors and journals. Appropriate, informed use of these is encouraged, but we caution against their superficial application and emphasize their endorsement does not substitute for in-depth methodological training.

In recent years, several neural network methods, such as brain functional networks, have been proposed to efficiently learn non-Euclidean graph structures. In this study, we modified the connectivity-based graph convolutional network (cGCN) developed by Wang et al. (2021) for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) classification into a regression model and used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data to predict the scores on the offline Kohs block-design test for a total of 615 subjects aged 33–89 years. To convert from discrimination to regression, we employed a technique that introduces a fully connected layer in the cGCN and connects the long short-term memory (LSTM) in the last output phase instead of the Softmax layer. The results showed that our cGCN–LSTM was more accurate than the baseline LASSO regression model, and that the predictions correlated significantly with the measured scores of the cognitive function test. Moreover, we used the leave-one-out and leave-two-out occlusion methods to extract important regions of interest (ROIs), as well as networks from the model. It was acknowledged that the Kohs block-design test scores were negatively correlated with age, but the results suggested the possibility of age-related cognitive decline that could not be captured by age prediction models alone. We found that only the nodes of the default mode network and cerebellum contain some significant within-networks; however, overall, between-network connectivity overwhelmingly contributed to the prediction regardless of the weight of the role in the age projection. This model and the leave-two-out occlusion method allowed us to identify the regions and networks involved in further task-based fMRI experiments in advance. Our methodology has the potential to make the design of task fMRI experiments more rational and accurate before planning and conducting actual scans.
The Use of Generative AI in an Interdisciplinary Approach for Cultural Preservation
Authors: Graham David
Published: June 2023

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a powerful tool to create new worlds and inject meaning into staid environments. A process of transforming physical space into digital assets becomes necessary to ensure that culturally relevant objects can persist through the changing tides of society. This paper highlights a process whereby physical assets can be digitized and utilized within a generative AI environment while preserving provenance, authenticity, and veracity. It concludes with salient use cases and a discussion that hopefully will lead to more action.

Introduction. This review is a continuation of the research devoted to the assessment of the development of auxology in Russian anthropology. The first part was devoted to a comprehensive assessment of the processes of growth and development of children from birth to 3 years old, living both in our country and in the countries of the near abroad. The analyzed sources describe factors influencing growth processes (evolutionary, climatic, geographical, ethnic and genetic factors, constitutional features of mothers, circumstances of intrauterine growth) [Permiakova, 2023]. This article examines and describes in more detail the main activities of auxologists, as well as physicians and psychologists working both within our country and in cooperation with foreign researchers from various academic institutions. Materials and methods. In this part of the work, the author analyzed articles devoted to the comprehensive assessment of physical development (as well as factors affecting it) of the school and student contingent living in Russia and some other countries. All these articles were published in Moscow University Anthropology Bulletin from 2009 to 2022. Results and discussion. Works in the designated area, on the one hand, analyze the physical development of children and youth of the Moscow region, on the other hand, assess the differences in the rates and dynamics of growth processes of residents of different regions of our country and abroad, including the secular aspect. In addition, representative samples are used to analyze socio-economic factors affecting these processes and determining the features of their course in a particular territory. Complex studies involving the relationship of somatic development indicators not only with socio-economic or environmental parameters, but also the psychological characteristics of the subjects are also important. Conclusion. The number of works devoted to the subject under study is quite numerous, which allows us to speak about the undiminished interest of domestic anthropologists in studying the problems of growth and development. The complex nature of most of them, among other things, indicates an integrative approach to solving the problems posed to this field of science. @ 2023.

The application of methods of improvement of ground bases in subsidence areas is an urgent issue today. This is evidenced by the continuing difficulties with the operation of transport structures. This study presents experimental studies of soil reinforcement. An important factor is to determine the properties of the soil, so the paper presents the results of laboratory tests. The angle of internal friction and the deformation increases to a greater extent when the reinforcing element is embedded in the ground, which will increase the bearing capacity of the foundations and reduce the deformability and settlement of the soil mass. The use of a reinforcing element in the ground not only makes it possible to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the soil but also gives an economic effect. It allows you to reduce the cost of the volume of earthworks. The results obtained in this study have considerable potential for eliminating problems arising from the construction of structures in subsidence areas.

This article presents a new design of an innovative repair kit for vehicles. New principles and effects for reducing friction in vehicle joints are considered. The main difference of the new solution is the use of spring rings instead of ordinary compression piston rings. According to the proposed solution, a physical model was created and a patent was obtained. The main purpose of functional tuning is to increase the durability of the engine and technical indicators of the engine. The article describes the original spring rings and their working principles. In the preliminary works, it is planned to install the new technology in a practical round on an internal combustion engine and obtain new data as a result of the experiment.
