Crop Production in Kovvur Taluk (W. Godavari).
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, A SANKARAM
Published: November 2023

Of the different problems concerning Indian agricul ture, the need for increase in the production of food crops is one that is receiving wide attention at the present time. The problem. has sprung into prominence with the outbreak of the war, and assumed importance all over the country. With the introduction and spread of cash crops, the area under food crops gradually went down. Among the cash crops the Virginia tobacco in certain parts of this presidency is to a certain extent responsible for this change. The assured and ready market which facilitated the con- version of the cured stuff into coin, coupled with its suitability as an alter- native crop to some of the food crops grown in the dry lands, that fetched very low returns, gave the necessary impetus to the farmers to take up to the cultivation of virginia tobacco. These two encouraging factors were mainly responsible for the rapid and extensive spread of this crop in Kovvur taluk of the West Godavari district during the past five years. Many a farmer has even migrated into the neighbouring taluks in quest of suitable land for raising this crop. In general the enormous increase in the cultivation of Virginia tobacco during the last four years reduced considerably the acreage under food crops, and exercised a deleterious effect on the soil which was cultivated without rest or rotation. Insufficiency of fodder and grazing for cattle was also keenly felt. With a view to ascertain these effects in detail a close study was made of the agricultural conditions before and after the introduction of the tobacco crop and the results of this study are presented in this paper.

Ergot is the hard violetish-black sclerotium of the fungus Claviceps purpurea produced on the earheads of certain cereals and grasses. The fungus infects the young ovary and finally replaces the grain with the sclerotium. Ergot is a valuable source of medicine recognized alike in British Pharmacopoeia (B. P.), Pharmacopoeia of the United States of America (U. S. P.), Prescriptio Internationalis (P. 1.) etc. The ergot of commerce is chiefly obtained from rye, crops of which get natural infection from year to year. The ergot of sheep's fescue grass, though very much less abundantly obtained, ja valued very much higher by manufacturing chemists by virtue of its high alkaloid content. There are about 10 alkal- oids known to occur in ergot, of which ergo-metrine B P. (called ergonovine in U. S. P.) is reported to be the most valuable. Ergotoxine and ergotemine are other valuable alkaloids (Cunningham 1941). Erget contracts the arterioles and unstriped muscles and is a powerful ecbolic (agent which accelerates labour) and a haemostatic (agent which errests bleeding). It is used in obstetrics, migraine spinal and cerebral congestion, internal hae- morrhage, in paralysis of the bladder and dicbetes mellitus (Dorland 1935) Besides these peace time uses, it is largely required during war for the treatment of wounded personnel of the fighting forces and air-raid victims.

The Barnyard millet, known in Tamil as Kuthiraivali (horse-tail), is one of the less important millets of the Madras Presidency. Except in certain restricted tracts its importance as a food crop in India is not much. In view of the fact that it forms a good famine crop and also comes to the rescue of very poor cultivators, some of its characters were studied at the Millets Breeding Station and are presented below:- This plant is considered to have been first brought into cultivation in India. That it has been grown all over India since very remote times is seen by the fact that it has a name in Sanskrit, as well as in every one of the other Indian languages.
A Quantitative Method of Determining Pith-Formation in Sugarcane

Published: November 2023

All sugarcane growers are aware of the occurrence of pith in some sugarcane varieties. The pith usually commences from the central region of the sugarcane. Histologically, pith-formation proceeds by the loss of cell-sap and drying up of the innermost tissue of the central cylinder, and the magnitude of pith formed varies from a central streak or fistular strand to the entire region becoming dry and corky. The natural causes of pith-formation are believed to be either varietal or due to deterioration-phases commonly attendant on over-maturity. In any case, it is of primary importance to the sugarcane grower to know when pith- formation forms in a particular variety, and how far it develops with time, to enable the choice of the right variety and to fix upon the most beneficial time of harvest. Moreover, pith-formation is an economic loss to the grower, as it saps the juice and reduces cane-weight resulting in the loss of cane tonnage. A study of the commencement and relative progress of pith formation in different varieties of sugarcane is of great value in preventing loss of cane out-turn, a factor of vital interest to the grower. So far the only method of estimating pith-formation consisted in cutting open the cane, and examining the longitudinal and transverse sections for pith formed. Such qualitative observations, although affording a clue, could never be so precise or exact as quantitative determinations. The enunciation of a suit- able quantitative technique engaged the serious attention of the senior author of this paper, and the method of density determinations described hereunder, proved to be a reliable means of estimating the relative degrees of pith formation in canes. As a natural consequence of pith formation the cane becomes light, and the volume remaining the same, the density is consequently lowered.
The Manufacture of Humus.
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, . H. M. L
Published: November 2023

It has been the lot of the present writer during the Inst few years, and with greater emphasis, perhaps, during the last few months, to draw attention to the importance of humus in the agricultural cycle. If, in so doing, he may appear to have strayed from the relatively restricted field of sugarcane cultiva- ion into the wider field of gene griculture, apology for such errantry will hardly be needed. The reasons are two in the first place, the problem of the maintenance of soil fertility here involved is itself a general one, common to all crops; in the second, the tendency. if there be such in the sugar industry, is away from the humus and in the direction of a growing use of artificials. It has been necessary, therefore, to derive examples mainly from the experience obtained in the cultivation of other crops.
A few important cultivated and wild leafy vegetables of South India.

Published: November 2023

That vegetables have played a very important part in the past and continue to do so in modern dietetics and that they are a very necessary menu in the every day meal of each and every person has been admitted on all hands. Among vegetables, leafy vegetables should be given the first and foremost place as they rank very high in the present day dietetics. In the first place they are the sources of calcium in abundance. Of all the metals calcium is the most important one as it is very essential for the build- ing up of bones and teeth. Deficiency of calcium in the diet has been responsible for a number of diseases. At the present day bad teeth are so common even among young people that one has to think well about the diet one should adopt to avoid this trouble. Very naturally therefore greens such as amaranth, cabbage, fenugreek, spinach etc. are advocated to one and all especially to young children and expectant and nursing mothers. In the second place leafy vegetables contain the pigment carotene which is said to fulfil the physiological function of Vitamin A in the body. The importance of vitamins is so well recognised that it need not be dealt with in this short note.

Terapia de Ensaio de Imagens para tratamento de pesadelos relacionados ao Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático: uma revisão sistemática da literatura
Authors: Silva Andreza Pinto da , Misse Rafaela Behs Jarros
Published: November 2023

O Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático (TEPT ), dentro do seu espectro de sintomatologia, possui como um dos critérios diagnósticos os sonhos de angústia relacionados ao evento traumático; visto que os pesadelos nestes casos não recebem, necessariamente, atenção primária no que se refere ao tratamento habitual dentro da Terapia Cognitivo Comportamental (TCC). Se propôs, então, investigar a Terapia de Ensaio de Imagens (TEI) para tratar, especificamente, os pesadelos dentro do TEPT e conhecer sua eficácia nestes casos. A TEI é uma terapia cognitivo comportamental que vem sendo estudada para o tratamento de sonhos perturbadores idiopáticos e também àqueles relacionados a algum transtorno psiquiátrico; basicamente consiste em reescrever os pesadelos – através de imagens mentais – os transformando em sonhos mais agradáveis, com o objetivo de diminuir sua frequência e sentimentos negativos relacionados. O método deste estudo é uma revisão sistemática da literatura; foram selecionados 5 artigos para análise através da base de dados Capes Periódicos. Os resultados mostram que a TEI é uma terapia eficiente para tratamento de pesadelos, mas complementar no que se refere ao tratamento para TEPT.

Published: November 2023

Com a pandemia do novo coronavírus, diversas atividades humanas passaram a ser realizadas através de aparelhos tecnológicos e uma nova lógica de sociedade e de rotina foi instaurada. Além da novidade da emergência dos aparelhos tecnológicos, houve, também, um pânico em relação ao vírus, em que os sentimentos de medo, ansiedade e horror se instalaram nas pessoas. Diante de tal contexto, essa pesquisa tem como objetivo geral investigar de que forma a pandemia interferiu no funcionamento da clínica psicanalítica, além de pesquisar e refletir sobre o uso dos objetos tecnológicos nesse cenário. Para isso, nessa pesquisa, foi utilizado o recurso da revisão de literatura acerca dos princípios da clínica psicanalítica, tais como o conceito de amor de transferência, de ato analítico e de presença do analista. O processo de revisão de literatura ocorreu ao mesmo tempo que estavam acontecendo as mutações nos laços sociais, o que torna essa pesquisa, além de necessária, dinâmica.

Justiça Social: impacto da reforma trabalhista nas garantias dos direitos humanos
Authors: Silva Antônio Nascimento da
Published: November 2023

A justiça social, um conceito pelo qual se tem lutado
incansavelmente ao longo dos séculos, simboliza o desejo de equidade e
o reconhecimento dos direitos humanos fundamentais. Engloba a luta
coletiva, o satisfatório, a dor e até as revoluções que moldaram as
sociedades ao longo da história. Além disso, a justiça social constitui a
responsabilidade fundamental do Estado de assegurar o bem-estar dos
seus cidadãos. No contexto da reforma trabalhista, que é consequência
das políticas neoliberais, é fundamental uma análise mais atenta, pois
revela uma tendência preocupante. Esta reforma representa uma
mudança na trajetória do progresso social, sugerindo uma regressão nos
direitos duramente conquistados e pelos quais os indivíduos lutaram.
Consequentemente, os indivíduos são muitas vezes forçados a renunciar
aos seus merecidos direitos devido às necessidades econômicas. O
trabalho tem pressuposto qualitativo e orientação analítico-descritiva,
dos impactos da reforma trabalhista nas garantias dos direitos humanos,
com fundamentação bibliográfica para um possível elo de retrocessos ou
avanços. Questiona-se, assim, a referida reforma, acompanhando os
impactos jurídicos, econômicos e sociais que trouxeram à realidade atual.
Como considerações conclusivas tem-se a necessidade de incentivar a
busca pela manutenção dos direitos já conquistados.
“Acuenda a Neca”: uma revisão bibliográfica sobre corpo, gênero, travesti e políticas públicas na sociedade brasileira
Authors: Oliveira Manasséis Silvério da Silva
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender as transformações
corporais pelo qual passa uma travesti e a sua representação social no
meio em que está inserida. Para essa reflexão, foi necessário
compreender um pouco sobre corpo e gênero, bem como distinguir o
conceito de travesti ao de transexualidade, intersex, drags, entre outros.
Logo, a centralidade desse trabalho, consiste a partir de uma análise
bibliográfica de Hélio Silva que foi o primeiro a desenvolver pesquisa
sobre as Travestis, no final da década de 1980, o trabalho do Marcos
Bnedetti e do Don Kulick, que são da segunda metade da década de
1990 e a Pelúcio que vai fazer a pesquisa quase uma década depois, entre
2004 e 2007, na qual refletimos sobre o corpo e o gênero mediante as
políticas publica de saúde e a sua relação com os direitos da pessoa
humana, inclusive previsto na Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988.

O presente trabalho buscará trazer um pouco da situação vivida
pelos povos indígenas num cenário de desassistência, enfrentamento da
COVID-19 e aumento da violência contra uma população já
historicamente perseguida e discriminada. Por meio de pesquisa
documental, pretendemos mostrar o quanto esses direitos humanos e
fundamentais – à vida e dignidade humana – vêm sendo, quando não
preteridos, conduzidos de modo errático e sem prioridade pela gestão
pública, na proteção daqueles que primeiro pisaram nesta terra.
Tomaremos como referência a Carta da Declaração Universal dos
Direitos Humanos, além da própria Constituição Federal de 1988, que
define como um dos fundamentos da República Federativa do Brasil, em
seu artigo 1º, inciso III, a dignidade da pessoa humana, além de toda
uma legislação que, teoricamente, ampararia os povos originários. Não
podemos deixar de mencionar o desdém completo da gestão passada do
governo federal com a causa indígena, onde orgulhosamente o expresidente afirma não ter interesse algum em demarcar terras e
consequentemente com tudo que a acompanharia, em direção à proteção
da vida e dignidade dessa população.

The Design of Door Handles for Civil Aircraft Cabin Doors Utilizing Addictive Manufacturing for Aerospace Component Manufacturing
Authors:   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Samsaimon Mohamad Shahriz Asraf , Wahab Md Saidin ,   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia
Published: November 2023

Door handles, usually referred to as "door knobs," are the handles used to open and close a door. On a variety of doors, including the outside doors of homes and businesses, the interior doors of homes, the doors of cupboards and cabinets, and the doors of vehicles, door handles are a common fixture. There are numerous types of door knobs, each of which has a distinct function. Significant numbers of door handles, especially those made for residential and commercial doors, either incorporate latching or locking mechanisms into their design or are manufactured to be compatible with a variety of standard door latching and locking systems. Door handles can be created from a bewildering variety of materials. Brass, porcelain, cut glass, wood, and bronze are examples of various materials. The cabin doors of a civil aircraft serve as the key determinant of the user's first impression because they are the user's first point of contact with the aircraft. Doors must consequently be self-explanatory as to their operability and function. This must not represent the first manual and/or technical difficulty when entering a civil aircraft and ensure that all passengers may board the aircraft safely. The term "additive manufacturing" refers to a variety of techniques that begin with a digital 3D model and result in a three-dimensional object. During these operations, material is mixed, deposited, or created layer by layer under the computer's control. Numerous past studies and research have exclusively focused on prototypes and non-critical components when making aerospace components and parts utilizing additive manufacturing. As the technology of additive manufacturing (AM) has advanced and evolved rapidly, more research is being undertaken on the significance of replacing existing methods of producing key parts and components with AM. This research will heavily rely on SolidWorks software to replicate the existing product into a 3D model, which will then be redesigned to make it easier to produce using the additive manufacturing process so that the product can be used immediately without the need for an assembly process by eliminating all design from the component. The 3D model of the new door handles of civil aircraft designs was analyzed with SolidWorks software and found to perform better compared to the original cabin door handle in terms of the amount of displacement and the value of the safety factor

PWM selection is to provide the required operating signal for the flight controller. During the flight, drone technology advances, flight times and distances escalate. The flight controller will become more susceptible to damage, complicating the distance and tasks that the drone will perform—the likelihood of causing high maintenance costs. The appropriate PWM to maintain the cooling system, safeguard to extensive usage of operating signal might be useful to minimize mechanical damage and extend flight longevity. The aim is to develop a cooling system to subside thermal heat in order to raise a UAV's flight time. The study was carried out in a closed environment with room temperature at 32ºC. A flight controller prototype was designed and operated with PWM, and fan revolution speed with temperature was recorded every 15 seconds for 1 minute. The thermal heat reduces by 6ºC from the baseline (40ºC), the fan speed remains constant at 3000-3500 rpm at 45-60 secs during PWM 25%. Whereby, thermal heat reduces by 10ºC from the baseline, the fan speed remains 4000 -5000 rpm at 45-60 secs during PWM 75%,100%. The linearity between the duty cycle of PWM is 98% with fan speed. However, the appropriate duty cycle of PWM set at 50%; the temperature is considerably below 30ºC beginning at 45 secs shows positivity towards cooling systems. Thus, the operating signal is overused during PWM 75% and 100% for 15 secs. The basic concept behind this project is to turn on the DC motor fan when the temperature threshold value of 40ºC.

Published: November 2023

UTHM has successfully developed a high payload cargo drone, namely the C-Drone, with a weight of over 400 kg. Although this drone has successfully passed the hovering test, it is believed that the weight of the drone can be reduced or optimized. The purpose of this research work is to reduce the weight of the C-Drone's main body structure. Therefore, tensile tests on Aluminium 6061 are reviewed to obtain the actual mechanical properties of the current C-Drone material. This study will run a structural analysis of the current C-Drone design and run topology optimisation on the current C-Drone structure for weight reduction using the software SolidWorks. To achieve the objectives of this project, the topology optimisation focuses on the main body of the C-Drone structure. Before the optimisation can be done, the input material properties need to be defined beforehand. The mechanical properties of the Aluminium 6061 were obtained from experimental data that involved the tensile and flexural tests of the material. These values are inserted into the simulation software, SolidWorks, and structural analysis for the current design. From this analysis, the critical part or area caused by the loads and internal stress was determined. From the result obtained, in order to ensure the weight is reduced without reducing the structural rigidity, the area is excluded from part removal for the topology optimisation. The topology process runs the analysis again if the results from the optimisation show the structure is unable to withstand the total load. The best results have been obtained from the series of simulations, and they show the suggestion for the most suitable modification strategy. It also shows the comparison of the current design of the body structure of the C-Drone with the software SolidWorks. The result of the stress, deformation, displacement, and safety factors of the construction is within acceptable limits. From this study, it can be concluded that the current design of body structure C-Drone is overdesigned because when the support of the current body structure C-Drone has been discarded, the result is still in the range of yield strength.

The relevance of the topic is determined by the increasing demand for forest recreational resources of the West Kazakhstan region. The forests of the West Kazakhstan region are under the influence of recreational activity, which is growing every year and leads to the transformation of the natural environment. The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of recreation on the processes of soil erosion in the forests of the West Kazakhstan region. An increase in the recreational load and the steepness of the slopes leads to degradation of the forest floor and grassy cover. The remnants of these materials move downhill under the influence of visitors, and the soil surface is compacted. The porosity coefficient of the upper soil layer decreases as recreational loads increase. This leads to a decrease in soil water permeability and an increase in surface water runoff. The study showed that the runoff coefficient, the air-dry mass of the forest floor and the porosity coefficient are closely related. These relationships characterize an increase in the water runoff coefficient with a decrease in the air-dry mass of the forest litter and the porosity coefficient. In the field in 2023, based on the morphological description of the profiles, the degree of soil erosion in the selected woodlands was determined.

An innovative nanobiotechnological express method for the detection of metabolically active microorganisms in natural water samples based on the ability of microbial cells to generate metal nanoparticles during the reduction reaction of cations introduced into the test samples as precursor (Detection of Biogenic Nanoparticles Growth/Generation ― DBNG method) is proposed. Metallic nanoparticles generated de novo form a new solid crystalline phase and can be detected with high accuracy by various physical methods. The DBNG method was tested on model psychrotolerant bacteria and proved to be effective in studying the metabolic activity of microbial communities in samples from various cold Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems. This approach can be used in ecology for monitoring changes in the ecological state of natural ecosystems.

Phytoremediation is an environmentally safe, inexpensive and aesthetically attractive method of cleaning and restoring areas that have been adversely affected by oil production and refinery enterprises. However, its successful implementation requires plants that are resistant not only to oil, but also to additional pollutants that may be part of its composition or initially present in the soil. In the work, the influence of oil, sodium chloride, heavy metals (cadmium, copper, lead) and herbicides of different groups (Tapir, Fenizan and Chistalan) on the germination, growth of shoots and roots of plants of the Legume and Cereal families was studied to assess the possibility of their use for soil rehabilitation from oil in the presence of associated contaminants. The toxicity for the tested cultures of copper (with the exception of lupine), herbicides Fenizan and Chistalan was shown. The most promising plants for phytoremediation in terms of the studied traits were lupine, barley and oats. They had a high (80% or more) germination, which did not decrease in the presence of pollutants, were capable of elongation of shoots and roots against the background of oil as the main pollutant, and were resistant to some other xenobiotics (lupine – to cadmium, lead and the herbicide Tapir; barley – to cadmium and lead; oats – to cadmium and Tapir).

Priming of seeds in auxin solution is a model of the action of auxin-producing bacteria on plant growth. The aim of the study was to identify auxin concentrations that stimulate and inhibit the growth of seedlings of two varieties of beans. Seeds were soaked for 3 hours in tenfold dilutions of heteroauxin 0,00001–100 mg/l, germinated on wet filters in the dark, growth parameters (germination energy, germination, length of axial organs of the seedling, number and length of lateral and accessory roots, root and shoot weight) were measured on the 7th day. For the Ufa variety, an increase in all growth indicators by 25-36% relative to the control occurred only at a dose of 0,001 mg/l, while the shoot/root ratio of 1.8 was as in the control. Changing this dose by an order of magnitude led to a neutral or negative effect on all growth indicators. For the Elsa variety, the growth of the length of the main root on the gradient of hormone concentrations was characterized by a two-vertex graph with a maximum value of an increase in root length by 23% to the control at a dose of 0,1 mg/l hormone. At the same time, the shoot/root ratio is 1,0. According to other indicators, no stimulating effect was found. The presence of one or more pessimums of the values of the growth indicators of seedlings on the concentration curve indicates that in both varieties the range of stimulating concentration of exogenous auxin is very narrow. Therefore, to stimulate growth, it is necessary to use precision and individual concentrations of exogenous hormone for each variety.

The ability of bacterial strains of the industrial zone of Ufa to use malathion as a sole source of carbon and energy was studied. Six the strains were used to create a microbial composition that was tested at high concentrations of malathion (2.85 and 6 g/L) as the sole source of carbon and energy. In one version of the experiment, peat was used as a carrier. In the experiment with malathion at a concentration of 2.85 g/l, the degradation efficiency by the consortium both without and with the use of a peat carrier did not differ significantly and was about 93%. When using malathion at a higher concentration (6 g/l), the degradation efficiency was 85%, which indicates the inhibitory effect of high concentrations of malathion on bacteria.

The existence of an asymmetric empirical Lorenz curve requires a measure of asymmetry that directly involves the geometry of the Lorenz curve as a component of its formulation. Therefore, establishing hypothesis testing for Lorenz curve asymmetry is necessary to conclude whether the Lorenz curve exhibits symmetry in actual data. Consequently, this study aims to construct a measure of Lorenz curve asymmetry that utilizes the area and perimeter elements of the inequality subzones as its components and establish a procedure for hypothesis testing the symmetry of the Lorenz curve. This study proposes two types of asymmetry measures, Ra and Rp, constructed based on the ratio of area and perimeter obtained from the inequality subzone. These measures effectively capture the asymmetric phenomenon of the Lorenz curve and provide an economic interpretation of the values Ra and Rp. The Lorenz curve symmetry hypothesis testing, based on Ra and Rp through a nonparametric bootstrap, yields reliable results when applied to actual data.
A non-conventional Clebsch decomposition for viscous flows

Everyone knows the importance of fluids in our lives, think about blood, air, and more. In particular, their behavior is described by The Navier-Stokes equation which uses temperature, velocity, pressure, and density variables to explain fluid motion. The article aimed to apply the Clebsh decomposition to determine the effect of temperature on viscosity, which is an important factor in fluid dynamics. In addiction, the Lagrangian method was used after taking into account the Thermasy, which is a fluid state variable that represents the behavior at the atomic level. Using mathematics manipulations was obtained a new version of the Navier-Stokes equation, in which variables like temperature, internalenergy, and thermasy coexist with pressure and velocity.

We examined the temporal changes of depressive symptoms over a 10 weeks-long Nordic Walking program in participants with moderate or severe depression at baseline. Sixty depressed adults (34 moderately depressed and 26 severely depressed) were assigned to either Nordic walking (n = 44; 18 severely depressed and 26 moderately depressed) or a control group (n = 16; 8 severely depressed and 8 moderately depressed). The Nordic Working program consisted of twice-weekly supervised 1-hour group training sessions. Depression was measured using the 21-item Beck Depression Inventory at baseline, Week 5 (mid-point), and at Week 10. Depression symptoms decreased significantly from baseline (M = 38.2 ± 7.2) to Week 5 (M = 22.9 ± 11.7) and from Week 5 to Week 10 (M = 15.2 ± 9.5) for participants in the Nordic Walking group who were severely depressed at baseline. However, for exercising participants with moderate depression at baseline, depressive symptoms improved from baseline (M = 19.8 ± 6.2) to Week 5 (M = 13.0 ± 7.5), but not from Week 5 to Week 10 (M = 11.7 ± 7.7). Linear mixed models were computed to test these changes. Finally, the number of training sessions attended by participants who received the NW intervention negatively correlated with their reported comorbidities at study entry (r = ‒0.40, p = .007). Overall, our study highlights that the decrease in depressive symptoms over the course of the intervention differs according to the initial level of depression, where depressive symptoms of individuals with moderate levels of depression stop decreasing after the middle of the intervention while those of individuals with severe levels of depression continue to decrease until the end of the intervention. Possible interpretations for this observation (e.g., plateau after Week 5 for those with moderate depression due to a floor effect) are discussed, and future research avenues are outlined.
From brain to education through machine learning: Predicting literacy and numeracy skills from neuroimaging data
Authors: Nakai Tomoya , Prado Jérôme
Published: November 2023

The potential of using neural data to predict academic outcomes has always been at the heart of educational neuroscience, an emerging field at the crossroad of psychology, neuroscience and education sciences. Although this prospect has long been elusive, the exponential use of advanced techniques in machine learning and artificial intelligence in neuroimaging may change this state of affairs. Here we provide a review of neuroimaging studies that have used machine learning to predict literacy and numeracy outcomes in adults and children, both in the context of learning disability and typical performance. We notably review the cross-sectional and longitudinal designs used in such studies, and describe how they can be coupled with regression and classification approaches. Our review highlights the promise of these methods for predicting literacy and numeracy outcomes (and difficulties). However, we also found a large variability in terms of algorithms and underlying brain circuits across studies, and a relative lack of studies investigating longitudinal prediction of outcomes in young children before the onset of formal education. This calls for a standardization of methods in the field, as well as for a greater use of accessible and portable neuroimaging methods that have more applicability potential than lab-based neuroimaging techniques.
