This study reported the presence and OTA production of ochratoxigenic Aspergillus species isolated from Bozcaada Çavuş and Karalahna grapes. The study was conducted with Aspergillus isolates isolated from grape samples collected during ripening in 2015 and 2016. Thin-layer chromatography was used to determine the secondary metabolite profiles of 290 Aspergillus isolates. Out of these, 122 isolates were found to be possible OTA producers. 43 isolates, selected based on their colony morphology of 122 isolates in different culture media, were identified using calmodulin gene sequencing analysis. The identified isolates were determined to be A. tubingensis, A. carbonarius, A. niger/welwitschia/awamori, A. welwitschia, A. spelaeus, and A. fructus. OTA production was investigated in six isolates. Using HPLC-FLD, these isolates were found to produce OTA in quantities ranging from 3.550 ± 0.240 to 92.346 ± 0.818 ppb. Consequently, OTA-producing Aspergillus species were isolated from grapes. The presence of A. spelaeus and A. fructus was reported for the first time in grapes. A. fructus has been found to be a new record for Türkiye.

CROCE’NİN ESTETİĞİ BAĞLAMINDA ŞEREF BİGALI’NIN RESİMLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: AĞIRBAŞ Seda
Published: February 2024

Sanatsal sezgi görüşüyle felsefe alanında farklı bir görüş ortaya koyan Benedetto Croce, sanatçının sezgi yoluyla bir imge veya bir resim ürettiğini ifade eder. Bu bağlamda doğanın ve nesnenin içindeki gizli anlamı resim sanatıyla aktaran Şeref Bigalı da eserlerinde çizgi ve renkleri sade bir derinlik içinde görselleştirip kavramsallaştırmayı sezgisel olarak anlamlandırır. Bigalı bunun salt akılla çözülebilecek bir olgu olmadığını daha çok seziş olduğunu söyler. Sanatçı yeteneğinin de çalışmayla pekiştirilip sezgi ve kavrama yetisiyle bütünleştirildiğinde derinlikli eserlerin ortaya çıktığını dile getirir (Gezgin, 2006: 21-22)

“Sanat, doğa, insan”, varlığımızın anlamı, her dönem sorguladığımız ve sorgulamaya devam edeceğimiz bir süreç. Var olduğumuz andan itibaren kavramları ve olguları sezgi yoluyla anlamlandırdık. Croce’nin deyimiyle de “sezgi bize fenomeni, görünen dünyayı, kavram ise görünmeyeni, ruhu” verdi. Bu düşüncenin en güzel yansımalarını yaşadığımız doğa vermekte, sanatçı ise ürettiği yapıtlarla ifade etmektedir. Algılarla gerçekliği, sezgilerle gerçekliği ve gerçekliği olmayan şeyleri anlamlandırarak yaşamımızı sürdürmekteyiz. Bu da benliğimiz, ruhumuz ve en önemlisi özümüz için önemli görünmektedir. Sezgi yoluyla kavradığımız doğa bize yaşam kaynağı olurken onun içinden beslenen sanat da heyecan duymamızı, haz almamızı sağlayan bir ortam sunmaktadır.

Croce’nin “sanat sezgidir” görüşü üzerinden Şeref Bigalı’nın resimlerinin değerlendirilmesinin amaçlandığı bu çalışmada sanat eserleri üzerinden Croce’nin sanat felsefesini, biçim ve içerik olarak sanatçının yapıtları özelinde değerlendirmek çalışmanın amacını ortaya koymaktadır.

Bu çalışmada ilk olarak Croce’nin sanat felsefesinden bahsedilecek ardından arka planıyla Türk resim sanatı tarihi içinde Şeref Bigalı’nın sanat anlayışı hakkında bilgi verilecektir. Son olarak Bigalı’nın sanat yaşamı boyunca ürettiği yapıtları, Croce’nin sanat anlayışı olan sezgisel görüş açısından değerlendirilip yorumlanacaktır.

Araştırma sırasında sanatçının kataloglarda ve dijital ortamda yer alan eserleri incelenecek, ayrıca aile koleksiyonunda bulunan çalışmaları için görüşmeler yapılacaktır.
Scientific foundations of psychology between person-centered and average-centered methodological approaches
Authors: Witte Erich H.
Published: February 2024

If the state of a science is always seen as a crisis, then its quality can only be inferior because its claims cannot be trusted. Psychology has been in a state of crisis since its modern inception because there has always been a tension between a person-centered approach and an average-centered approach. Each perspective distrusted the findings of the other and considered their results inadmissible. This article therefore attempts to combine these two perspectives in order to pursue the goal of any science, namely, to increase its systematicity through a process of abduction (Hoyningen-Huene, 2013; Witte, 2023). This happens in three areas: the definition of the subject matter of psychology, the measurability of psychological constructs, and the formation of theories. Each of these starting points is chosen to be one of few assumptions, and these two approaches (person-centered and average-centered) are combined with the overarching goal of increasing systematicity. This has substantial methodological consequences, since the path always leads via a process of abduction, and the usual path is almost exclusively controlled by induction. Methodological implementations are proposed, and concrete methods are discussed.
No telehealth admission disparities in an adolescent psychiatric partial hospital program
Authors: Cero Ian , Wyman Peter , Weeks Charlene , Mietz Andrew , Scharf Michael
Published: February 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic forced urgent and widespread changes to youth mental health care. In the week of April 1, 2020, our adolescent psychiatric partial hospitalization program (PHP) rapidly transitioned from a traditional in-person service to an entirely telehealth model. This new model made it possible to maintain maximum patient capacity, but also introduced a potential access disparity. In late 2021, state regulators expressed concern that Black and Hispanic youth had limited high-speed internet and device access at home. Thus, while those youth might still be referred to the PHP at the same rate as before, regulators worried they were now admitted to the PHP at lower rates than their (non-Hispanic) White counterparts. We agreed this proposed 'admission disparity' was a concern, especially because we had not been able to gather community feedback on telehealth feasibility before the transition. However, when we reviewed the PHP’s admission data, we found no significant difference in admission rates between Black, Hispanic, and White patients referred to the clinic. In what follows, we describe our analysis, then discuss how a pre-existing universal school program likely (and unintentionally) prevented a future mental health care disparity for our patients.
Paying Attention to Mindset Measures: A Necessary Step to Move Beyond Mindset Controversies
Authors: Combette Léa Tân , Kelemen Deborah
Published: February 2024

Since the 1970s, intelligence growth mindset and related interventions have garnered significant attention, particularly in terms of their impact on motivation and learning. However, controversies have arisen since 2017, with reviews highlighting the substantial variability in the efficacy of mindset interventions. In response, significant attention has been paid to social contextual factors (e.g. SES, teachers’ mindset) that might underlie the variability in effects. However, in this paper we argue that an even more fundamental factor has been overlooked: the way mindsets are assessed. To illustrate our point, we focus on three pivotal areas in which mindset measurement can differ across studies (measuring fixed vs. fixed+growth mindset; domain-general vs. domain-specific abilities; and self-theories vs. other-theories). Drawing on original recommendations from Carol Dweck's seminal 1999 work and ones derived from more recent research, we make a set of recommendations about best practices. Using data from a preregistered rapid systematic review of mindset research published since 2017, we then examine the degree to which measurement approaches have varied and the degree to which these best practices are already in common use. Our findings compellingly demonstrate that discrepancies and incongruities in the mindset literature are at least partially attributable to variabilities in how researchers measure mindsets. There is also a clear need for the adoption of a set of best practices so that firmer conclusions about mindset effects can be drawn from future research.
Combining sustainability and resilience assessment of a Regional Food System: evaluating an innovative Swiss alpine valley
Authors: Donadieu de Lavit Paul , Willi Tonia , Six Johan , Barjolle Dominique
Published: February 2024

The Swiss food system faces complex economic, social, and environmental challenges concurrent with a consensus among citizens, scientists, and institutions advocating for a transition toward sustainable food production. We argue that resilient and sustainable Regional Food Systems have a spillover effect on global food system sustainability and resilience. This study focuses on the regional level, assessing the resilience and sustainability of Valposchiavo's food system, an innovative Swiss alpine valley, utilizing a novel assessment framework developed through an extensive literature review and the integration of some of the numerous existing assessment tools. Semi-structured interviews with 51 stakeholders representative of the Regional Food System reveal that Valposchiavo has a resilient and sustainable food system. The agricultural sector’s resilience and sustainability outperform the ones of the processing, retail, and restaurant sectors. Valley institutions show commitment to sustainable development but perform poorly in stakeholder support and organizational structure. Our holistic approach, encompassing resilience and sustainability for the regional food system as a whole, provides context-specific recommendations and is replicable in other regions.

Published: February 2024

This study introduces a novel bibliometric model to enhance the integration and application of interdisciplinary theories in construction project management (CPM), focusing on sustainability. Utilizing bibliometric methods and tools such as VOSviewer, the research systematically identifies and maps interdisciplinary intersections in CPM. Grounded in pragmatism, the study emphasizes practical applications of theoretical insights and diverse perspectives to address real-world problems. The analysis highlights dominant sources like Sustainability Switzerland and Energies, and leading institutions such as Delft University of Technology and University of Johannesburg, which contribute significantly to sustainable construction literature. Prolific authors including Wang N., Aranda-Usón A., and Yuan J. frequently employ theories like Governmentality Theory, Lean Theory, and Ecological Modernisation Theory, demonstrating their impact on advancing theoretical and practical knowledge. The findings reveal a reliance on established theories to address sustainability issues and underscore the need for more structured theoretical approaches in future research. Despite notable contributions, there is a gap in the systematic application of theoretical frameworks, necessitating a rigorous theoretical foundation for empirical investigations. A thematic analysis of 41 documents showcases the varied application of theoretical frameworks and their implications for transdisciplinary research. The results highlight the importance of theory in providing structured frameworks for analysis, fostering interdisciplinary integration, and enhancing predictive power. The study advocates for promoting theory-driven research, developing comprehensive theoretical models, and enhancing bibliometric tools for 'co-theory' analysis. These steps aim to foster innovative solutions and sustainable practices in construction, ensuring theoretical advancements effectively contribute to sustainable development goals. This research underscores the critical role of theory in addressing the complex challenges of sustainable CPM.
Biological Motion in Robots and Users’ Action Understanding
Authors: Wan Max Freda , Bennett Samuel
Published: February 2024

When a robot’s motion is more predictable, users experience lower stress and perceive the robot as more competent. The present study examined previously unexplored relationships between robot motion, anthropomorphic forms, and human action understanding. In an online experiment, we tracked participants’ (n = 62) gaze as they watched a robotic arm, humanoid, and human pouring coffee, either in biological (smooth, curvilinear) or nonbiological (segmented, sudden) motion. Additionally, the action outcome was either correct (filling a cup) or erroneous (spilling); participants gave key-press responses to predict which outcome. Motion had significant main effects on both predictive gaze and error detection response times. However, while predictive gaze was statistically equivalent when observing the robotic arm and humanoid in biological motion, it was counterintuitively lower when observing humans. Taken together, our findings contribute evidence to support an expanded role of predictable motion in robot design.

Summary. How is conscious experience related to material brain processes? A variety of theories aiming to answer this age-old question have emerged from the recent surge in consciousness research, and some are now hotly debated. While most researchers have so far focused on the development and validation of their preferred theory in relative isolation, this article, written by a group of scientists representing different theories, takes an alternative approach. Noting that various theories often try to explain different aspects or mechanistic levels of consciousness, we argue that theories do not necessarily contradict each other. Instead, several of them may converge on fundamental neuronal mechanisms and be partly compatible and complementary, so that multiple theories can simultaneously contribute to our understanding. Here we consider unifying, integration-oriented approaches that have so far been largely neglected, seeking to combine valuable elements from various theories.
Reducing Racial Bias Using a Conflicting Relations Paradigm: A Systematic Replication of Mizael et al. (2016)

Published: February 2024

A study conducted by Mizael et al. (2016) successfully reduced negative evaluations of Black faces and minimized the valence differences between ratings of Black and White faces by establishing equivalent relations that conflicted with racial bias. We replicated this procedure in a repeated measures design and included the doll test and an implicit test to investigate generalization. Nine children who demonstrated negative evaluations of Black faces were trained to relate a positive symbol (A1) to an abstract stimulus (B1) and B1 to images of Black faces (C1). Racial bias measures were repeated twice a week and 15 days after the intervention. Eight participants formed an equivalence relation between Black faces and the positive symbol that was maintained two weeks after the intervention. Before the intervention, there was a significant difference between the evaluations of White and Black faces; after the intervention, there was no significant difference. Two out of three participants with implicit racial bias showed reduced bias postintervention, and one of the four participants with racial bias in the doll test displayed intervention generalization. Overall, our findings replicated the results of Mizael et al. (2016). However, the high level of disparity between stimuli used in the initial participant screening bias test and those employed in the tests for function change generalization pose challenges for interpreting the results. Further research is necessary to more firmly establish reliable function transformation and generalization procedures.

Published: February 2024

This is the first study that has used psychophysiological measures to investigate the validity of Gary Chapman’s (1992) relationship satisfaction theory, The Five Love Languages. This theory proposes that individuals have a preferred means of communicating love. Heart rate, skin conductance, and respiration rate were recorded while 89 college students listened to guided imagery scripts representing one of the five love languages (LL). Using a within-subjects design, a repeated-measures ANOVA was run on each physiological measure. A composite score of the physiological responses indicated a significant increase in arousal for when participants listened to their primary LL as compared to their non-preferred LL (88) =-2.3, p=.02, d=.37). For skin conductance (88) =-2.03, p<.05, d=.35) and heart rate (88) =-2.15, p=.03, d=.35), we observed a significant difference in physiological response found for the preferred versus non-preferred LL. This study gives the first psychophysiological evidence of individuals having one of the five preferred love languages. Interestingly, there was no significant relationship found between relationship satisfaction along with commitment and an individual’s significant other using their preferred LL. More research is needed to determine the exact relationship between primary LLs and relationship satisfaction and commitment.

Published: February 2024

This article explores the evolving landscape of graduate student supervision, emphasizing the transition from traditional master/apprentice models to evidence-informed pedagogies. It underscores the expanded roles of supervisors as collaborators and men-tors, responsible for students' academic, mental health, and wellbeing. A variety of supervision styles are analyzed, ranging from directive to facilitative approaches that impact the student experience differently. Boundary management is proposed as a valuable framework to interpret diverse stages in graduate student supervision, allowing for tailored strategies to meet individual needs. The critical role of effective communication in scaffolding students' development is highlighted to emphasize the significance of both written and verbal exchanges. Additionally, this work suggests strategies for project co-determination, including setting expectations, collaborative opportunities, and involvement in professional development programs, and fostering an inclusive learning environment for graduate students.

Correlation of Sunspot Numbers and Geomagnetic Indices with Various Climate Change Parameters
Authors: Adhikari S. , Mishra R. K. , Parajuli N. , Adhikari D. P. , Adhikari B.
Published: February 2024

In this paper, a comparative study of climate change parameters with the sunspots number, solar flux, and various geomagnetic indices are presented using statistical methods, cross-correlation analysis and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). From the analysis of 31 years (almost 3 solar cycles) datasets, we observed a positive correlation of sunspot numbers with geomagnetic indices such as AE, Kp, Ap, Dst, and pc. This analysis indicates that variation in sunspot numbers can have a strong influence on the geomagnetic configuration. We also a found perfect positive correlation between CO2 -CH4 and CO2 – TSI, shown with a correlation coefficient of approximately 1 at 0-time lag. The sunspot number shows a high positive correlation with solar flux with a correlation coefficient of 0.95 at 0-time lag indicating that the earth is receiving energy from the sun, which is small but not a negligible fraction of expected global warming. The wavelet analysis carried out on sunspot number (R), Methane emission (CH4), Carbon dioxide emission (CO2), Land-Ocean Temperature (LOT), Solar Flux (F10), and, Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) support the evidence of ~11 years of periodicities. Both analyses suggested that the recent climate change is mostly affected by anthropogenic forcing (long-lived greenhouse gases) followed by natural forcing (sunspot number) which cannot be neglected. Thus, the correlation and wavelet analysis suggest that the sun also has a significant role in climate change, and, understanding the role of solar variability is essential to the interpretation of past and prediction of future climate.
Predicting Band Gap of Transition Metal Trihalides using Machine Learning
Authors: Nepal N. K. , Ghimire M. P.
Published: February 2024

Machine Learning (ML) is a tool that finds pattern in data sets for analysis and prediction and is very useful in various sectors such as materials discovery, predicting material properties, medical science, and data science etc. From predicting lattice parameters, stability, band gap, and many other material properties with low cost and good accuracy, ML is becoming popular among material scientists. Recently, a new compound in a two-dimensional (2D) realm (transition metal trihalides) is getting immense interest due to its intriguing properties such as magnetic order in lower dimensions. In this work, we have selected transition metal trihalides to predict band gaps using ML. For the dataset, we have used some compound and elemental properties extracted from the materials project database and periodic table for the features set, and band gaps within the range of 0-3 eV for target variables. We performed the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for feature selection and selected five features from a set of 24 features. After training and testing our data in four types of ML algorithms (support vector regression (SVR), kernel ridge regression (KRR), gradient boosted regression tree (GBRT), and random forest regression (RFR)), the GBRT model is found to be best with the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) < 0.27 eV and root mean squared error (RMSE) < 0.34 eV.
Anion Exchange Membrane Functionalized by Phenol-formaldehyde Resins: Ion Exchange Capacity, Electrical Properties, Chemical Stability, Permeability, and All-iron Flow Battery

Published: February 2024

An anion exchange membrane (AEM) is a type of selectively permeable membrane that facilitates the movement of negatively charged ions while impeding the passage of positively charged ions. These membranes are designed to selectively transport anions across them based on their charge and size. They are commonly used in various electrochemical devices and processes, such as fuel cells, electrodialysis, electrolysis, water treatment, and other applications requiring ion exchange. These membranes are typically made from synthetic polymer materials with positively charged functional groups that attract and transport anions while repelling cations. They are used for selection, conduction, and stabilizing the ion anion exchange phenomena. We recently released a study on the creation of a quick and easy approach to creating an AEM with increased ionic conduction capacity and good alkaline stability. The technique's simplicity makes it a desirable substitute for conventional methods. By using this approach, the carcinogenic reagent often employed for AEM preparation—chloromethyl methyl ether—is avoided. Membrane surfaces appeared to be rather homogeneous in Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) pictures. Water content, ion exchange capacity, and electrical conductivity all improved as the amount of ion-exchange material in the casting fluid increased. The Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) of the membranes revealed thermal stability up to 150°C which shows that these membranes are ideal for applications in that temperature range. The composite membranes exhibited enhanced chemical stability in strong chemical environments and this can be attributed to the resonance stabilized guanidine group as negative ion-exchange site. By considering the AC impedance data, the conductivity measurements showed a marked enhancement in conductivity by increasing the content of ion-exchange material. Galvanostatic charged discharge tests were used to examine the electrochemical performance of an all-iron redox flow cell, and the system demonstrated a columbic efficiency of 80% during the repeated charge-discharge cycles. The findings of this work provide a compelling alternative to the established methods for the synthesis of AEMs.
Dust Properties around the Dust Cloud nearby White Dwarf LAWD 84 in IRIS and AKARI Data
Authors: Paudel M. S.
Published: February 2024

An isolated dust cloud is discovered nearby the White Dwarf LAWD 84, located at (RA, DEC) (J2000): 21h19m36.53s, -55°50'4.47'', in the infrared data of Improved Reprocessingof the IRAS (IRIS) and AKARI infrared survey, within angular size 1.0° ×1.0°. The isolated region of dust cloud is found to be broken into the two parts both in IRIS and AKARI data, named as IRIS-UP, IRIS-LOW, AKARI-UP and AKARI-LOW. The isolated region of flux at 100 μm in IRIS and 140 μm in AKARI is also studied separately. The dust color temperature (Td) and dust mass (Md) are calculated from the infrared flux in both data. The average Td is found to be ∼24 K in IRIS data and ∼20 K in AKARI data in both parts. The ratio of dust mass in total region to isolated region is found ∼ 2.0 in IRIS-UP and AKARI-UP but the ratio is 5.06 in IRIS-LOW and 3.19 in AKARI-LOW clouds. The regression analysis between the infrared fluxes at two wavelength shows a linear relation between the infrared fluxes in both clouds, whereas there is no any preferred relation observed between the infrared flux (both wavelength) and dust color temperature but a direct linear relationship between infrared flux and dust color temperature, and inverse parabolic relationship obtained between the dust color temperature and dust mass in all clouds. The qualitative analysis of contour map of infrared flux, temperature and mass supports this result. Furthermore, the inclination angle of the each clouds,  background point sources, Jeans Criteria and Gaussian distribution of the dust color temperature are studied within both clouds to explain the possible ongoing physical phenomenon within the clouds.

Adolescence is the stage at which age begins to be physically active compared to previous periods. Many factors affect the nutritional status of this group, both directly and indirectly. The food factor consumed is a direct determinant of nutritional status in addition to a history of illness or disease. At this age, the level of knowledge of a variety of healthy snacks and adequate nutritional content is still low, so it is necessary to provide education to this age group. SMP Negeri 8 Semarang was chosen as a place of service because the school was adjacent to an area that sells various kinds of food and becomes a gathering place for students after school.

Holding of the Nothing: Nihilation in Paul Celan’sSprachgitterandDie Niemandsrose
Authors: Dong Feng
Published: February 2024

This article considers Paul Celan’s poetic treatment of the philosophical notion of the nothing ( das Nichts) in Sprachgitter (1959) and Die Niemandsrose (1963). In his middle period, Celan is drawn to what Martin Heidegger calls “the nihilation of the nothing.” For Heidegger, the nothing is a withdrawal of Being that crucially reveals beings as a whole and opens up chances of transcendence and freedom. For Celan, on the other hand, the question is instead to force thought-images of the nothing out of pre-existing conceptions in a way related to but different from both Heideggerian and theological discourses. Celan seems more concerned with how to be free in the face of the nihilation of memory and history, or how to “stand” on the philosophical un-ground as a German-Jewish poet after two world wars and the Holocaust. While recognizing the nothing as constitutive of Dasein, Celan treats the experience of nothingness as an endless fall into pure expanse due to the loss of the Same ( das Selbe).
