Social processing of dynamic naturalistic social interactions
Authors: Daughters Katie , Skripkauskaite Simona , Koldewyn Kami
Published: July 2024

Research suggests that static depictions of social interactions preferentially capture our attention compared to non-interactions. Research also suggests that motion captures attention. To date, therefore, it is unknown whether dynamic social interactions preferentially capture attention relative to non-interactions, over and above motion cues. The present study captured 81 participants’ eye-gaze and facial movements when viewing 4-second video clips of social-interactions compared to motion-matched non-interactions. We hypothesised that participants would spend more time looking at the two people in the videos relative to the background when viewing social interactions compared to non-interactions. Results confirmed our hypothesis and demonstrated that this effect was stronger for individuals with greater empathy and lower autistic traits. These results add to the growing body of research investigating the processing of social interactions in complex, naturalistic stimuli and demonstrate that social interactions do preferentially capture attention, even when motion cues are present.
Reward masks the learning of cognitive control demand
Authors: Bustos Bettina , jiang Jiefeng , Kool Wouter
Published: July 2024

Cognitive control refers to a set of cognitive functions that modulate other cognitive processes to align with internal goals. Recent research has shown that cognitive control can flexibly adapt to internal and external factors such as reward, effort, and environmental demands. This suggests that learning processes track changes in these factors and drive an optimization process to determine how cognitive control should be applied in changing situations. In real life, multiple factors often simultaneously affect how cognitive control is deployed. However, previous studies mainly concern how cognitive control adjusts to changes in a single factor. Here, we investigate how cognitive control learns to adjust to two concurrently changing factors: statistical regularity in cognitive control demand and performance-contingent reward. We consider two competing hypotheses: reward promotes cognitive control to adjust to cognitive control demand, and the processing of reward information obstructs the adaptation to cognitive control demand. In our experiment, statistical regularity in cognitive control demand is manipulated within subjects such that some stimuli require higher levels of cognitive control than others. Reward is manipulated across subjects. Using a computational model that captures temporal changes in cognitive control, we find that in the absence of reward, participants can adjust to different levels of cognitive control demand. Importantly, when performance-contingent reward is available, participants fail to adapt to changes in cognitive control demand. The findings support the hypothesis that reward blocks the learning of cognitive control.
Openness/intellect: The weirdest trait in the Big Five world?
Authors: Schwaba Ted , Thalmayer Amber Gayle
Published: July 2024

Openness/intellect often stands apart from the other Big Five/Six personality traits. Here, we interrogate its ‘weirdness.’ First, we discuss openness/intellect’s weird history, highlighting unresolved controversies critical to its interpretation. Second, we identify research questions where openness/intellect is weird among the Big Five: it is the least straightforward predictor of outcomes, often irrelevant to mental health, and the rarest target of volitional change. We distill these findings into three propositions that refine openness/intellect’s role in personality theory. Third, we synthesize etic (imported) and emic (local) evidence implicating openness/intellect as the WEIRDest Big Five trait, the least portable across cultural contexts. We hypothesize how cultural individualism and looseness modify the trait’s relevance and structure. We conclude by arguing for openness/intellect’s weirdness as a feature, not a bug: Some trait components may be universal, and those that aren’t illustrate through contrast how culture shapes personality expression.
Understanding Racism through the Prism of Antigypsyism
Authors: Ando Yuma , Mayer Nonna , Tiberj Vincent , Vitale Tommaso
Published: July 2024

The study of anti-gypsyism, a phenomenon often neglected in the analysis of racism, is at the heart of this chapter, which explores in depth the social, economic and political dimensions that structure hostile attitudes towards the Roma. Using multidimensional analysis and logistic regression models, it identifies the major predictors of anti-Gypsyism in France. The chapter is structured around several major themes: 1. **Theoretical and contextual introduction** : - Definition of antigypsyism and comparison with other forms of racism. - Historical context and changing perceptions of the Roma in France and Europe. 2. **Quantitative analysis of prejudice** : - Use of the anti-gypsyism scale to measure hostile attitudes. - Cross-referencing with other scales such as ethnocentrism and political positions. 3. **Socio-demographic factors and their impact** : - Study of variables such as age, gender, level of education, family income, and religious practice. - Analysis of the weight of each variable using regression models. 4. **Correlations and profiles of hostile groups** : - Identification of correlations between levels of ethnocentrism and anti-gypsyism. - Description of typical profiles of the most hostile individuals. 5. **Effects of public policies and awareness campaigns** : - Assessment of the impact of government and NGO interventions on reducing prejudice. - Analysis of educational and memorial efforts to combat anti-Gypsyism. This chapter highlights the importance of understanding anti-gypsyism in the broader context of racism. The results show that factors such as level of education, political position and religious practice play a crucial role in shaping attitudes towards the Roma. In addition, public initiatives and awareness campaigns have a significant impact on reducing prejudice. The study calls for continued action and strengthened educational policies to combat anti-Gypsyism and promote the inclusion of Roma in society.

Comparison of energy-dependent and independent interactions-a case study
Authors: Swain B. , Laha S. , Laha U. , Khirali Bidhan
Published: July 2024

In the present text we construct velocity-dependent or equivalently energy-dependent potential (EDP) to an energy-independent nonlocal potential (EIP) of rank-1 by Taylor series method. The phase shifts for the nucleon-nucleon and alpha-nucleon systems are computed for these two potentials by exploiting the variable phase method and the Fredholm determinant, respectively. The velocity-dependent potential is found to be superior to central nonlocal interaction in generating the scattering phase shifts up to high energy region.

NEOTECTONICS OF THE OCEAN-CONTINENT TRANSITION ZONE IN THE CÔTE D'IVOIRE REGION (WEST AFRICA)
Authors: Sokolov S.Yu. ,   Geological Institute RAS, Mamadu Diomande , Ednard Eby Ama Yvonne , Raymond Mouah ,   RUDN University,   National Company of Petroleum Operations of Cote d'Ivoire,   Panafrican Energy Services
Published: July 2024

Structural and geophysical indicators of neotectonics in the area of the continental margin of Côte d'Ivoire are represented in three interacting zones: oceanic, continental and transitional. Together with the time-varying gravitational field, they form a system in which neotectonic processes are enhanced due to their equatorial position. Seismicity is represented by dense clusters of events in the areas of junction of the Strakhov, Sao Paulo and Romansh oceanic transform faults with the continent and their overland continuation. Seismicity and gravity variations show the relationship of deep density changes to stress discharge in the area and the effect of volumetric forces on lithospheric blocks. Free air and isostasy anomalies along the shelf are segmented by the effects of vertical motions. Pull-apart depressions near the passive parts of transform faults indicate basement deformations in the interfault blocks and activation of shear displacements of dextral kinematics near the bend of the passive parts of the faults to the northeast from main oceanic azimuth. Segments with isostasy maxima on the shelf correspond to areas with coarser grain size granulometric composition, indicating leaching of fine sedimentary fraction from the bottom material.
COMPARISON OF THE SPATIAL LOCATION OF DEEP-SEA POLYMETALLIC SULPHIDE ORE OBJECTS AND DEEP MANTLE STRUCTURE BASED ON GEOPHYSICAL FIELDS IN THE NORTHERN NEAR-EQUATORIAL SEGMENT OF THE MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE
Authors: Sokolov S.Yu. ,   Geological Institute RAS, Bich A.S. ,   Leading Research Institute in the field of marine geology
Published: July 2024

A comparison of geophysical data along the segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) between 10° N and 25° N and seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) ore objects revealed a number of regularities and relationships in their spatial distribution. SMS are grouped in areas with the following features: near subvertical «microplumes», into which the single axial anomaly of the MAR, determined by the seismotomographic model UU-P07, splits; maximums of Bouguer anomalies between the Vema and Kane transform faults, corresponding to dense mantle volumes and minimal magmatic debit; a pronounced alternation of spatiotemporal «voids» and «bands» of seismicity with a step of ~1.5°, comparable to the near-surface δVp minima; inversion of spreading rates asymmetry from east of the MAR to the west within 20° N and 24° N south of the Kane fault with nontransform south-oriented offsets; areas with positive correlation of the Bouguer anomalies and topography between 19° N and 22° N. The relation of SMS with the specified features of geophysical data forms a predictive basis for this type of objects.
Women’s Quest for Home: Spatial Imaginary in Kazuo Ishiguro’s A Pale View of Hills
Authors: Xu Ling  , Mohammad Ewan Awang  , Hardev Kaur Jujar Singh
Published: July 2024

Unhomely homes have been a recurring theme in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels, and his debut novel, A Pale View of Hills (1982), is no exception. While previous research has primarily focused on themes such as displacement, alienation, and trauma in the novel, limited attention has been given to exploring the social-spatial and gendered spatial factors contributing to this sense of homelessness. This paper examines the meanings of home in A Pale View of Hills by drawing upon Blunt’s and Dowling’s concept of home as a spatial imaginary. It argues that the idea of home in the post-war Japanese discourse is actively challenged and reshaped by the female characters in Ishiguro’s novel. This dynamic process encompasses three facets: materially, it includes the destruction of homes, the Westernisation of domestic space, and gendered space and domesticity; imaginatively, it involves long-lasting trauma and repression; and relationally, it signifies the transformation of home from unhomely to a homely one. This paper aims to provide a spatialised and politicised understanding of home in A Pale View of Hills, fostering a more dynamic view of women’s identity construction.

Post-traumatic stress disorders and coping resources of internally displaced persons
Authors: Kobets Oleksandr , Mykytchak Artem
Published: July 2024

The article analyses post-traumatic stress disorders and resources for coping with stress in internally displaced persons. The analysis of literature sources has led to an understanding of the consequences of experiencing forced migration as a state of high intensity stress, which with a high degree of probability entails the development of post-traumatic stress disorders. The author describes a psychosocial situation that is of particular interest due to the complex nature of the impact of stress on the personality of an internally displaced person: their life story often contains, along with the experience of being in a war zone, repeated traumatisation due to living in new places, which sometimes causes no less powerful distress (culture shock, acculturation stress, migrantophobia).
When analysing migrants' resources for coping with stress, we should rely on the three-level approach to the structure of human personality, which is established in psychology. The success of migrants' adaptation is correlated with individual characteristics, including gender, ethnic minority, age, neuroticism and extraversion, therefore, the focus on the middle level is designated as cognitive-personal and operationalised through the construct of basic beliefs of the individual, which are generally defined as global, stable ideas of the individual about the world and about himself/herself that influence thinking, emotional states and behaviour; higher - described by the system of meaningful life orientations of a person, which characterises a person as a subject of life-creation, and is an integral systemic characteristic that reflects the actual attitude of a person to a situation, understood as meaningful life orientations of a person.

Aim. To study the association of six polymorphic regions of MBL2 (rs11003125, rs7096206, rs7095891, rs1800450, rs1800451, rs5030737), two regions of FCN2 (rs7851696, rs17549193) and one region of MASP2 (rs72550870) with Helicobacter pylori infection and the severity of neutrophilic inflammation in gastric mucosa among children with recurrent abdominal pain. Design. Genetic association study of single nucleotide polymorphisms, case — control type. Materials and methods. 96 adolescents aged 12–17 years with recurrent abdominal pain were examined. Medical history, general clinical methods and fibrogastroscopy with a biopsy of the gastric mucosa were included in the medical testing. Biopsy samples were recorded and processed to assess the neutrophil infiltration and the presence of H. pylori. The results were interpreted according to the Sydney System of Gastritis Classification. Genotyping of allelic gene variants was carried out using real-time polymerase chain reaction (MBL2, MASP2), as well as the restriction analysis of amplification products of specific genome regions (MBL2, FCN2). Results. A high rate of H. pylori colonization was associated with a high frequency of the L allele of the rs11003125 gene polymorphism of the MBL2 gene and with a decrease in the proportion of high MBL — expressing genotypes. Carriage of the Q allele of the rs7095891 gene polymorphism of the MBL2 gene was associated with less pronounced neutrophilic infiltration, and a high frequency of the T allele of the rs7851696 gene polymorphism of the FCN2 gene was associated with severe neutrophilic inflammation in gastric mucosa. No differences in the distribution of MASP2 genotypes were found. Conclusion. The results obtained suggest that genetic defects in the production of MBL and ficolin-2 may cause chronic helicobacteriosis in children and more severe inflammation of gastric mucosa. Further study of these proteins seems to be promising for new approaches to the treatment and prevention of H. pylori complications in children to be identified. Keywords: Helicobacter pylori, mannose-binding lectin, ficolin, MASP, gene polymorphism.

Aim. Description of the features of differential diagnosis and treatment of convulsive syndrome in children with pseudohypoparathyroidism on the example of a clinical case. Key points. Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a rare hereditary disease in which clinical and laboratory signs of hypoparathyroidism are noted against the background of an increased level of parathyroid hormone in the blood. The pathogenesis of pseudohypoparathyroidism is based on the resistance of peripheral tissues to parathyroid hormone. One of the first clinical manifestations of this disease may be convulsive syndrome, which requires a broad differential diagnostic search. Conclusion. The effectiveness of treatment of convulsive conditions directly depends on a correctly established diagnosis, and therefore it is extremely important for a doctor to competently navigate the differential diagnosis of conditions, one of the manifestations of which may be convulsive syndrome. Thus, a rationally structured systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of convulsive syndrome will successfully identify its cause and prescribe the right treatment. The diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism requires a multidisciplinary approach from a team of doctors. Keywords: pseudohypoparathyroidism, convulsive syndrome, teenagers.

Relevance of the research topic. The systematization and generalization of a wide layer of both theoretical developments and practical achievements in the field of physical culture and sports serve as a basis for stating that maturity is the longest period of ontogenesis, characterized by the tendency for a person to achieve the optimal level of development of his spiritual, intellectual and physical potential. Against this background, the age of maturity in women, according to numerous data from representatives of the scientific community, is a period of motor deficit. The consequences of the latter include, first of all, the gradual unfolding of involutional processes, negative changes in the hormonal background, the appearance of excess weight, a decrease in the elasticity of connective tissue, the appearance of the first signs of structural and functional disorders of the spine and joints. The purpose of the article is to determine the level of physical fitness of women aged 36-40 with different types of posture. Methods. Theoretical analysis of special scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. The results of the work. The assessment of physical fitness of women in the second half of mature age showed the following. Firstly, it was found that according to tests of strength, endurance and flexibility, women aged 36-38 were more physically fit, performing pull-ups in a lying position mainly at an average level, tilting the torso forward from a sitting position and lifting the torso in a sitting position at a sufficient level. In contrast, the physical fitness of women aged 39-40 years was much worse, in particular, most of them performed lying pull-ups at a low level, torso bending forward from a sitting position and lifting the torso in a sitting position at an average level. Secondly, the comparison of groups of women aged 36-38 and 39-40 years, taking into account the type of their posture, did not reveal any differences in pairs of different ages of each type. At the same time, it was found that women with normal posture performed much better than the other groups in exercises such as flexion and extension of the arms in a lying position, pull-ups in a lying position, and women aged 36-38 years were superior in the test of lifting the torso into a seated position. Accordingly, women with a round, flat back and scoliotic posture were less physically prepared to perform these exercises.

Selective amygdalohippocampectomy via the pterional transsylvian approach is a feasible option for many patients with mediobasal temporal epilepsy. However, it may be insufficient for patients when the posterior hippocampal region is involved. The paramedian supracerebellar transtentorial approach offers precise anatomical orientation when exposing the entire length of the mediobasal temporal region, including the fusiform gyrus. In addition, this approach allows selective amygdalohippocampectomy without any neocortical damage. This video presents the successful treatment of a patient with posterior hippocampal sclerosis and mediobasal temporal epilepsy through the paramedian supracerebellar transtentorial approach.

Robot-assisted deep brain stimulation of the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus for generalized epilepsy: targeting and operative video
Authors: Chen Jason A. , Warren Aaron E. L. , Rolston John D.
Published: July 2024

The centromedian (CM) nucleus of the thalamus is a promising target for a range of brain diseases including drug-resistant generalized and multifocal epilepsy. CM is highly connected to cortical and subcortical regions including frontoparietal/sensorimotor cortex, striatum, brainstem, and cerebellum, which are involved in some generalized epilepsy syndromes like Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). In this video, the authors describe their methodology for targeting CM for deep brain stimulation (DBS). Delineation of an optimal and consistent target will expand the efficacy of neuromodulation of CM in intractable epilepsy.

Życie religijne katolików obrządku łacińskiego na Ukrainie sowieckiej w latach 1944-1953
Authors: Rożkow Władysław , Ryba Mieczysław

W 1944 roku po ponownym nadejściu Armii Czerwonej terytoria ukraińskie, okupowane wcześniej przez III Rzeszę, znalazły się pod administracją ateistycznego państwa sowieckiego. Mając na celu zwolnienie społeczeństwa od wszelkich „przeżytków religijnych”, władze komunistyczne niemalże natychmiast przystąpiły do systematycznych działań, zmierzających do całkowitego podporządkowania Kościoła, a w ostateczności jego unicestwienia. Polityka antykościelna, nieco zmodyfikowana w trakcie wojny , konsekwentnie wcielana przez urzędników sowieckich, bardzo szybko zaczęła przynosić efekty. Masowe aresztowania księży, wypędzenie biskupów, likwidacja ośrodków sakralnych powodowały, że wierni w dużej mierze pozostawali bez opieki duszpasterskiej. Życie religijne wielu wspólnot schodziło do podziemia. Władze sowieckie, mając przeświadczenie, że obecność kapłanów powoduje ożywienie życia religijnego, na wszelki możliwy sposób starały się utrudnić realizację posługi duszpasterskiej księży w innych, poza miejscem osiedlenia, parafiach. Wielka batalia została stoczona w sprawie katechizacji dzieci, którą władze starały się uniemożliwiać. Mimo zakazów i inwigilacji księża oraz wierni świeccy prowadzili różne działania katechizacyjne, przygotowując dzieci zwłaszcza do Pierwszej Komunii Świętej. Władze z kolei realizowały działalność wywiadowczą, mającą na celu osłabienie lub wyeliminowanie katechezy z życia katolików. W okresie powojennym większość wspólnot katolickich na Ukrainie nie posiadała stałego duszpasterza. Niektóre zaś w ogóle nie miały prawa do obecności kapłana. Brak duchowieństwa spowodował, że wierni zaczęli odprawiać tradycyjne, dobrze im znane nabożeństwa bez obecności księdza. Dosyć często nabożeństwa te przybierały formę uproszczonej Mszy św., której przewodniczyła osoba dobrze rozeznana w liturgii, ciesząca się dużym autorytetem i zaufaniem wspólnoty religijnej. Ponieważ według ustawodawstwa sowieckiego praktyki religijne mogły się odbywać tylko w parafiach zarejestrowanych, Rada ds. Kultów Religijnych wykorzystywała każdą okazję, aby pozbawić poszczególne wspólnoty praw do legalnej działalności. Mimo zakazu zgromadzeń – w miejscowościach, w których zamknięto świątynie – wierni nadal zbierali się na wspólne nabożeństwa na cmentarzach i w domach prywatnych. Szczególną rolę w życiu religijnym katolików odgrywały, działające w ukryciu, organizacje religijne, m.in. kółka różańcowe i zakony trzecie. Wywierały one ogromny wpływ na zachowanie tożsamości i praktyk religijnych oraz przekazywały wiarę następnym pokoleniom.

Published: July 2024

Płockie kodeksy liturgiczno-muzyczne stanowią ważne źródło wiedzy do badań monodii gregoriańskiej i pochodnych od niej form postgregoriańskich. Przekazując, obok klasycznych struktur monodii łacińskiej, także twórczość rodzimą w postaci oficjów rymowanych, tropów, sekwencji, hymnów, dramatyzacji liturgicznych, a nawet najwcześniejszych rodzimych pieśni ludowych, dowodzą o wysokim poziomie kultury muzycznej Płocka w okresie średniowiecza. Unikatowy charakter tych źródeł stanowi najbardziej podstawowy etap do podejmowania szczegółowych badań analitycznych nad monodią łacińską ośrodka płockiego i dziejami muzyki liturgicznej w Polsce. Księgi płockie, w których w różnym stopniu odwzorowano dokonania Zachodu, pozwalają uchwycić proces kształtowania się lokalnej tradycji liturgiczno-muzycznej. Artykuł przedstawia wybrane, najbardziej charakterystyczne dla źródeł płockich, śpiewy liturgii mszalnej (wersety allelujatyczne, sekwencje, tropy) i brewiarzowej (oficja rymowane, tropy, hymny, dramatyzacje liturgiczne) oraz tzw. płockie tropy wielkanocne – najstarsze pieśni kościelne oparte na łacińskich hymnach i sekwencjach. Przywołane kompozycje liturgiczne, poprzez swoją specyfikę, świadczą o wysokiej randze ośrodka płockiego. Niniejsze studium jest wyłącznie próbą sumarycznego przedstawienia dotychczas ogłoszonych wyników badań w tym zakresie, ukazujących walory płockich rękopisów liturgiczno-muzycznych.

Copper nanoparticles were synthesized from Aloe vera leaf gel extract concentrate from 0.1 Molar Copper sulphate pentahydrate solution. The Aloe vera gel concentrate and copper sulphate solution during the process were subjected to spectrophotometric absorption studies. Prepared nanoparticles were observed for size, zeta potential and polydispersity index, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The results showed that the size of elemental copper synthesized with the help of Aloe vera leaf gel extract concentrate was 272nm. SEM analysis confirmed the morphology of synthesized nanoparticles (spherical shapes). EDX studies further confirmed the presence of 67.21% elemental copper in newly synthesized nanoparticles prepared from Aloe vera leaf gel concentrate. The process of green synthesis uses eco-friendly resources to increase biological safety. The Aloe vera leaf gel extract concentrate efficiently served as a reducing and a capping agent to reduce the size of copper particles to the nanoparticle range. The method is low in cost and saves energy.

In order to assist lecturers in customising their teaching strategies and course materials for pre-intermediate grammar students living in rural locations, this study focuses on doing pre-lecture needs analysis. Using a quantitative method, 24 students enrolled in Universitas Sulawesi Barat's English Language Education programme for the academic year 2023–2024 were given closed-ended questions via a WhatsApp group. To find patterns in the gathered data, statistical analysis and purposeful sampling were applied. The results shed light on a variety of student characteristics, including age, mother tongue distribution, performance in the basic grammar course, ability to build simple English sentences, mastery of verb tense formulas, lexical proficiency, preferences for learning and assignments, and skill targets. The study draws attention to a variety of factors, including student skill objectives, favourite activities, assignment preferences, performance gaps, and vocabulary problems. Teachers and policymakers can improve the quality of English language instruction, particularly in grammar classes, and establish a supportive learning environment for students in Indonesia's rural areas by acknowledging and addressing the issues and preferences that have been identified. Furthermore, teachers around the world can use the needs analysis tool, the WhatsApp polling technique, and the pre-lecture activities as a source of inspiration and guidance to deliver engaging, balanced, and professional lectures that are customised to the needs of their students and meet graduate competency standards.
