Published: April 2020

The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of Energy Expenditure (EE) estimation provided by 3 wearable devices [Fitbit-One (FO), Sensewear Armband (AR) and Actiheart (AC)] in a setting of free-living activities. 43 participants (24 females; 23.4±.4,5yrs) performed 9 activities: sedentary (watching video, reading), walking (on treadmill and outdoor), running (on treadmill and outdoor) and moderate-to-vigorous activities (Wii gaming, taking the stairs and playing football). Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Pearson’s correlation were calculated to assess the validity of each instrument in comparison to a portable metabolic analyser (PMA). In overall comparison MAPE’s were 7,7% for AR (r=.86; p<.0001), 8,6% for FO (r=.69; P<.001), and 11.6% for AC (r=.81; p<.0001). These findings support the accuracy of the wearables. The AR was the most accurate in the whole protocol. However, MAPE results suggest that devices algorithms should be improved for better measure of EE during moderate-to-vigorous activities.
Characteristics, immobilization, and application of Candida rugosa lipase: a review
Authors: Subroto E. , Indiarto R. , Pangawikan A.D. , Huda S. , Yarlina V.P.
Published: April 2020

Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) is one of the lipases widely used in various food industries
and studies, especially in linkage with the modification of lipids. This review discusses
CRL, including CRL features (molecular biology, the structure of the enzyme protein, the
flap/ lid), catalytic mechanisms and substrates specificity, CRL immobilization
technologies, and various applications in lipid modifications. CRL has five isoenzymes,
namely LIP1 - LIP5, then develops again into LIP1 - LIP8. However, LIP1 is the most
commonly found isoenzymes. CRL has a structure similar to that of Geotricum candidum
lipase, has a flap/ lid, which is an active side cover in the form of α-helix, which is
relatively shorter than other lipases. The active site of the CRL consists of triads ser-209,
His-449, and Glu-341, while the catalytic mechanism of the CRL is the same as the other
lipases by the nucleophilic attack. CRL catalyzes triacylglycerol at all positions randomly
and has hydrolysis and synthesis activities that are strongly affected by the presence of
water in the reaction system. CRL can be used for various lipid modifications through
hydrolysis, esterification, interesterification/transesterification, and alcoholysis/
glycerolysis reactions.

Published: April 2020

The Philippine government encourages consumers to buy locally produced foods to promote growth and sustainable agriculture. This will provide further economic, environmental and social benefits to farmers and local areas, leading to more sustainable patterns of consumption. This qualitative research looks at the views and behaviour of consumers in Tacloban City towards buying foods from public and private supermarkets, focusing on the barriers that prevent greater uptake local produce. Two separate focus groups (N=28) were conducted. Content analysis identified five relevant themes in relation to buying foods from public supermarket and private grocery stores. These were lifestyle, cost, food quality, food choices and environment. Participants reported buying their foods and food products mostly from the local public supermarket with the cost, food quality and food choices as factors influencing them to do so. The main barriers preventing participants from buying from local public supermarkets are the dirty environment and inconvenience. The results of the study are useful in developing future strategies for encouraging people to buy more from the local public supermarkets increasing consumption of local produce.

There is weak gas resource management system in Nigerian that has resulted to gas production being at 8.0bscf/d with utilization of 39% (2.9 bscf/d) on NLNG, 31% (2.3 bscf/d) on reinjection and other operational usage, 15% (1.1 bscf/d) on gas flaring and 16% (1.2bscf/d) on domestic gas consumption. The study shows a 41% daily average domestic gas supply obligation performance. Extensive review of related literatures was used to obtain relevant data and information on gas production and utilization in Nigeria. The study revealed inconsistencies and low gas production and utilization in Nigeria with respect to the Nigerian Gas Master plan that was not fully implemented, relatively low gas flare penalty and insufficient domestic gas utilization projects. The compressed natural gas utilization in Nigeria has only been used in Benin-City for cars, Nestle Shagamu factory and Power gas Africa. The proposed strategy for the long-term gas production and utilization in Nigeria includes sustainable management structure, sustainable governance and regulatory structure and sustainable financing structure.

A study of the quantity and types of airborne bacteria and its correlation with human presence was conducted. Air samples were collected from different units for three days and three sessions (morning, afternoon and evening) for the enumeration and identification of bacterial isolates. Walk-through exercise was also conducted prior to every sampling to gather information on the number of occupants present, activities going on, and room characteristics. Isolation study revealed higher bacterial load in the afternoon and evening sessions; with Male Ward and Operating Theatre recording the highest and lowest bacterial loads respectively, as compared to the morning session that was done immediately after cleaning and before influx of people. The Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient showed a positively direct linear correlation between the bacterial load and occupant population irrespective of the three sessions (r = 0.84, 0.88 and 0.93). Identification study showed that the isolates are representatives of normal microflora of the skin, respiratory and gastro-intestinal tracts which includes the following; Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Micrococcus roseus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, Candida and Fusarium species. The study presents evidence of increased concentration of indoor airborne bacteria due to human presence, movement and activities.
Entre bande dessinée et jeu vidéo: Le Secret de la Licorne d’Hergé
Authors: Barahouie Haniyeh
Published: April 2020

À un cadre d’analyse qui prendrait en compte une analyse des produits dérivés liés aux Aventures de Tintin, l’autrice préfère prendre en compte la transmédialité de l’œuvre, au moins depuis la sortie du film et du jeu vidéo Les aventures de Tintin : Le secret de la Licorne. Il s’agit d’un cas de transmédialité avec œuvre-source et certains enjeux propres à l’adaptation sont pris en compte, d’autant que l’adaptation d’œuvres canoniques comme celle-ci a tendance à prendre en considération un certain niveau de fidélité à cause des attentes du public. Ainsi, le jeu vidéo, dans la lignée du film de Spielberg, propose une ligne claire adaptée. Par ailleurs, le jeu, conçu dans la plus grande partie de ces modules comme une plateforme de défilement horizontal, n’est pas sans rappeler l’horizontalité des bandes dans les pages des Aventures de Tintin. Enfin, l’autrice montre comment l’utilisation des cinématiques dans le jeu vidéo permet notamment de situer le jeu dans le contexte d’une franchise transmédiale.
The Managerial Implications of Positive and Normative Accounting Theories
Authors: KAVRAR Ömer
Published: April 2020

Managers as decision makers need to know the relationship between the accounting procedures and the tools that influence the accounting reports such as stock and bond prices. By doing so, managers need to consider accounting theories which provide the such complex relationships by using large numbers of observations and carefully constructed empirical tests. The two leading theories placed in the accounting literature are positive and normative accounting theories. This study seeks to provide a critical examination and assessment about these two theories from manager’s point of view. The hypotheses discussed include those to which Watts and Zimmerman responded and as well as several other critiques based on managerial implications. This paper also comprises multifarious discussions that are related to the manager implications, made by the well-known accounting theory researchers.

Artikkelissani käsittelen yhteisöllisyyden poetiikkaa, sen rakentumista ja purkaantumista kollektiivisen kerronnan avulla Kristina Carlsonin historiallisessa romaanissa Herra Darwinin puutarhuri. Väitän, että kertomuksen tutkimuksen piirissä kehitellyt määritelmät, jotka pohjaavat joko kollektiiviseen subjektiviteettiin tai lingvistisiin ehtoihin, kuten monikon ensimmäiseen persoonaan, osoittautuvat liian kapeiksi Carlsonin romaanin tulkintaan. Sen sijaan kollektiivista kerrontaa tulisi ymmärtää moninaisena, eri kerronnallisia ja kielellisiä keinoja yhdistelevänä kudelmana.

Yhteisöllisyyden poetiikkaa analysoidessani otan huomioon Herra Darwinin puutarhurissa kollektiivisuutta heijastelevat rakenteet. Näitä ovat Carlsonin teoksessa etenkin juoru ja toistuvat viittaukset lintuihin. Sovellan juorun analyysiin Patricia Meyer Spacksin määritelmiä juorusta sosiaalisia, moraalisia ja esteettisiä merkityksiä kantavana diskurssina. Tarkastelen, kuinka juoru kommentoi yhteisön jakamia arvoja. Osoitan romaanissa ilmenevän juorun keskeiseksi piirteiksi moraalisen kommentoinnin lisäksi metakielisyyden: juorussa ilmenevä kielellinen ja esteettinen leikittely näyttäytyy tulkinnassani juorun muita funktioita tärkeämpänä. Tulkitsen toistuvia lintu-viittauksia, kuten lintujen ääntelyn translitterointia, ensisijaisesti metafiktiivisinä, teoksen rakentumista kommentoivina välineinä, joiden avulla teos tarjoaa suuntaa lukijan huomion entistä tiukemmin yhteisöllisyyden – ja oikeastaan koko romaanin – kielellisiin mekanismeihin.

A compendium of the flora of the islands in the lower Vyg River in Karelia
Authors: Shipilina L. Yu.
Published: April 2020

The study of regional floras is one of the main tasks of floristics, which allows one to make the most complete inventory and analyze the species composition. The analysis results in a reconstructed picture of the vegetation development in the investigated area. Human economic activities in the area have created new habitats for the species whose main distribution range is far beyond boundaries of the area. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to study the flora of the islands in the lower Vyg River. To achieve the goal, the route-reconnaissance method was used. The performed work revealed the constancy of the species composition of the flora of the islands. All in all, 136 species were found on the islands, 50% of which are common in this territory and make up the main core, which is part of the northern taiga flora. The differences between the floristic composition of the islands are due to the current state of the Vyg River, altered by the dam of the hydroelectric power station, and a large anthropogenic pressure associated with the development of tourism in the places of petroglyphs accumulation.

Peer Behavior Profoundly Influences Dishonesty: Will Individuals Seek-out Information about Peers’ Dishonesty?
Authors: Leib Margarita , Schweitzer Maurice
Published: April 2020

Seeing others engage in unethical behavior helps individuals justify their own unethical actions. In this article, we explore whether and how individuals search for information about others’ unethical behavior. Across two financially incentivized studies (total N = 617), participants could search either free (in Study 1) or costly (in Study 2) information about others’ behavior. Our findings reveal that individuals are both curious and are significantly influenced by the information they observe. However, individuals do not aggressively seek information about others’ unethical behavior, and are very sensitive to the costs to obtain this information. Free information promotes information search, which increases the likelihood that individuals will observe others’ unethical behavior and ultimately engage in unethical behavior themselves. When information is costly, individuals are far less likely to search for information, and are subsequently less likely to observe and engage in unethical behavior themselves. In contrast to prior work that has asserted that “sunlight” and greater access to information will curb dishonesty, we find that free access to information about others’ transgression may promote, rather than deter, unethical behavior. To curb unethical behavior, however, organizations may not have to shield individuals from learning about others’ transgressions; they may merely need to make this information difficult to obtain.

Can Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things be Governed to Achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals? An Intellectual Property Law Perspective
Authors: Noto La Diega Guido
Published: April 2020

The WTO can play an important role in achieving the UN sustainable development goals. Investments in AI and IoT could go a long way, in that these technologies could lead to economic growth, innovation, good health, and new services. For this to happen, however, they must be adequately governed. This means, practically, that we need laws – and IP laws above all, given their role in incentivising creativity and innovation – that are fit for AI and IoT. As shown above, AI could lead to unprecedented research developments with revolutionary impact on healthcare. They would do so not only by changing the way we carry out research – with AI-powered data mining and cancer-predicting deep learning models – but also by making us rethink certain IP laws. The reference is to the patent system that has hitherto been abused by pharmaceutical companies that have developed strategies to retain perpetual and absolute monopolies on medical inventions, thus preventing access to medicines, especially in developing and least-developed countries. AI could change this. It could, indeed, change the standard currently applied to assess one of the key requirements for patentability, i.e. inventive step. We currently assess if an invention presupposes an inventive step and is hence patentable from the point of view of the ‘person skilled in the art’, a notional worker who lacks ingenuity and has limited knowledge. With AI becoming commonplace and increasingly creative, the new standard to be adopted may and should be the AI-enhanced researcher. Such a person would be more likely to consider new inventions as obvious and this would counter the over-protection of pharmaceutical inventions. Finally, the IoT is set to disrupt all the fields and all the laws that have been built on the good-product and hardware-software dichotomy. Patent laws are likely to be profoundly impacted – and may need a significant revision – because their exclusion from patentability of software may be factually circumvented by the ubiquitous presence of software in any mundane device and at any step of the supply chain. To conclude, IP laws are likely to play a limited role in governing AI and the IoT. It seems more probable that these technologies will ‘govern’ current IP laws in the sense of leading to new interpretation and policies that will make them more ‘sustainability-friendly’.
The processing of Spanish article-noun gender agreement by monolingual and bilingual toddlers

We assessed monolingual and bilingual Spanish-learning toddlers’ sensitivity to correct vs. incorrect Spanish noun phrases (definite article + noun), using a spontaneous preference listening paradigm. Monolingual Spanish-learning toddlers exhibited a tendency to listen longer to the grammatically correct phrases (e.g., la casa; ‘the house’), as opposed to the incorrect ones (e.g., *el casa). This listening preference toward correct phrases is in line with earlier results obtained from French monolingual 18-month-olds (van Heugten & Christophe, 2015). Bilingual toddlers in the current study, however, tended to listen longer to the incorrect phrases. Further, we observed that toddlers who received less exposure to Spanish were more likely to listen longer to the incorrect phrases. Overall, our results suggest that both monolingual and bilingual toddlers can distinguish between the correct and incorrect phrases by 18 months of age, however monolinguals and bilinguals might rely on different cognitive mechanisms when processing grammatically incorrect forms.
Answers to 10 Questions About “Generations” and “Generational Differences” in the Workplace
Authors: Rudolph Cort , Rauvola Rachel Sisu , Costanza David , Zacher Hannes
Published: April 2020

When seeking information about the influence of generations, policy makers are often faced with more questions than answers. One reason for this is the nearly ubiquitous nature of generations. Generations have been used to explain everything from shifts in broadly defined social phenomena (e.g., anti-war movements; Dunham, 1998) to the demise of marmalade (Gough, 2018). Likewise, owing to the fact that the modern workplace offers increasing opportunities for interactions among (relatively) older and younger co-workers, generations and especially generational differences have been used to describe a number of work-related phenomena, processes, and policies (see Costanza, Badger, Fraser, Severt, & Gade, 2012; Costanza & Finkelstein, 2015 for reviews). Despite these attributions, most generations research is suspect, and many supposed generational effects are likely not generational at all. Collectively, our author team has been studying the idea of generations for over 25 years. Over time, we have been asked numerous questions about what impact generations and generational differences have, especially in the workplace and for work-related policies adopted by organizations. In the present manuscript, we have collected the most common, policy-relevant questions regarding generations and generational differences, and attempted to answer them. Our goal in doing so is to “clear the air” about generations and generational differences in a way that informs better policy making regarding complex processes associated with age(ing) at work. We start here by asking and answering a broad question: “What are generational differences?” Then, to help parse truth from fiction, we offer answers to 10 common questions about generations and generational differences, with a specific focus on how these assumed differences manifest in the workplace and affect work-related policies. These 10 questions are classified as addressing two overarching questions: (1) What issues surround research and methodology for understanding generational differences at work? and (2) What are the policy and practice issues concerning generational differences in the workplace and beyond?
Development of directed and random exploration in children

Are young children just random explorers who learn serendipitously? Or are even young children guided by uncertainty-directed sampling, seeking to explore in a systematic fashion? We study how children between the ages of 4 and 9 search in an explore-exploit task with spatially-correlated rewards, where exhaustive exploration is infeasible and not all options can be experienced. By combining behavioral data with a computational model that decomposes search into similarity-based generalization, uncertainty-directed exploration, and random exploration, we map out developmental trajectories of generalization and exploration. The behavioral data show strong developmental differences in children’s capability to exploit environmental structure, with performance and adaptiveness of sampling decisions increasing with age. Through model-based analyses, we disentangle different forms of exploration, finding signatures of both uncertainty-directed and random exploration. The amount of random exploration strongly decreases as children get older, supporting the notion of a developmental “cooling off” process that modulates the randomness in sampling. However, even at the youngest age range, children do not solely rely on random exploration. Even as random exploration begins to taper off, children are actively seeking out options with high uncertainty in a goal-directed fashion, and using inductive inferences to generalize their experience to novel options. Our findings provide critical insights into the behavioral and computational principles underlying the developmental trajectory of learning and exploration.
Empathic disequilibrium in two different measures of empathy predicts autistic traits in neurotypical population
Authors: Shalev Ido , Uzefovsky Florina
Published: April 2020

Background. Features of autism spectrum conditions (ASC) are normally distributed within the population, giving rise to the notion of the autistic spectrum. One of the hallmark features of ASC is difficulties in social communication, which relies heavily on our ability to empathize with others. Empathy comprises of both cognitive (CE) and emotional (EE) components that, together, allow us to understand another's emotions and be affected by them appropriately, while maintaining a self-other distinction. Although CE and EE depend on distinct neural and developmental trajectories, it was suggested that the two empathic capacities can influence, balance, and regulate each other. Previous findings regarding the role of emotional and cognitive empathy in ASC have been mixed. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate whether the intra-personal empathy imbalance between the cognitive and emotional components, a measure we termed empathic disequilibrium (ED), can be associated with autistic traits at the neurotypical range.Methods. Participants were 671 neurotypical young-adults who self-reported their empathy, assessed using two highly validated questionnaires - the Interpersonal Reactivity Index and the Empathy Quotient, autistic traits using the Autism spectrum quotient, and the related traits, alexithymia, and systemizing.Results. Controlling for the total empathy score, greater ED was found to be positively correlated with autistic traits. Specifically, autistic traits were found to be elevated in groups of individuals with relatively higher EE than CE, underscoring their imbalance.Conclusions. Our study offers a novel perspective on the understanding of the social difficulties associated with autistic tendencies in the general population, and has potentially important clinical implications for understanding of ASC. We also propose a novel characterization of ASC based on the imbalance between EE and CE, which we term ED, as opposed to examining EE and CE separately.
Metacognitive blindness in temporal selection during the deployment of spatial attention

How does orienting attention in space affect the quality of our confidence judgments? Orienting attention to a particular location is known to boost visual performance, but the deployment of attention is far from being instantaneous. Whether observers are able to monitor the time needed for attention to deploy remains largely unknown. To address this question, we adapted a “Wundt clocks” paradigm, asking observers (N=140) to reproduce the phase of a rotating clock at the time of an attentional cue, and to evaluate their confidence in their responses. Attention affected the latency between objective and perceived events: the average reported phase was delayed in accordance with the known latencies of voluntary and involuntary attention. Yet, we found that confidence remains oblivious to these attention-induced perceptual delays, like a ‘metacognitive blind spot’. In addition, we observed weaker metacognition specifically during the deployment of voluntary attention, suggesting a tight relationship between the attentional and metacognitive systems. While previous work has considered how visual confidence adjusts to fully attended versus unattended locations, our study demonstrates that the very process of orienting attention in space can alter metacognition.
Using mixture modeling to examine differences in perceptual decision-making as a function of the time and method of participant recruitment

Published: April 2020

We examine whether perceptual decision-making differs as a function of the time in the academic term and whether the participant is an undergraduate participating for course credit, a paid in-lab participant, or a paid online participant recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk. To accomplish this, we demonstrate a mixture modeling approach that separates stimulus-driven responses from contaminant responses, allowing us to distinguish between the degree of focus demonstrated when engaged in the task and the consistency in this task focus. We report a survey of cognitive psychologists' expectations regarding the quality of data obtained from these different participant groups. Cognitive psychologists expect performance and response caution to be lowest among undergraduate participants who enroll at the end of the academic term, and highest among paid in-lab participants. We then present two experiments that test these expectations using two common paradigms. We found little evidence for time-of-term effects. The participant groups responded to standard discrimination difficulty and speed/accuracy emphasis manipulations in similar ways. However, participants recruited via Mechanical Turk had higher rates of guessing and, consequently, poorer motion discrimination performance (but not brightness discrimination performance). Comparison of the mixture versus standard modeling approaches suggested diverging conclusions about how speed/accuracy emphasis affected performance, suggesting that some of this relationship may be due to differences in the rate of guessing. We conclude that online crowdsourcing platforms can provide quality perceptual decision-making data, but recommend that mixture modeling be used to adequately account for data generated by processes other than the psychological phenomena under investigation.
