The study investigated work ethics practices and employee retention in the manufacturing industries in Lagos, Nigeria with focus on the Nigerian Breweries, Lagos as the unit of analysis. The study identified work ethics practices found operational to include integrity accountability, professionalism, and respectfulness. The corresponding relationship between these work ethics practices and employee retention was also evaluated with the view to providing information on how work ethics practices influence employee retention. The study made use of primary data with the aid of a structured questionnaire administered to 300 respondents randomly to elicit information from the selected respondents. It was found that integrity as a practice was prevalent among other practices found to be operational in the area of study and also found that there exists a significant positive relationship among all the variables of work ethics practices and employee retention where accountability practice with employee retention (r = 0.546, p 0.05), respectfulness practice with employee retention (r = 0.677, p 0.05), professionalism practice with employee retention (r = 0.658, p 0.05) and integrity practice with employee retention (r = 0.748, p 0.05). it was concluded that work ethics practice is a good cost control strategy to sustain employee retention without incurring additional costs, especially in the wake of economic recession and recovery. Thus, recommended that the management of the Nigerian Breweries should institutionalise work ethics practices and educate employees of the organisation on the essence of the practices.

Published: September 2023

11-year-old male patient brought by relatives in Kaumarbhritya OPD with complaints of spending excessive time on smartphones andcomputers with changes in the patient's behavior since 1 year. Relatives counseled the patient, but he didn't change his behavior. Previous Doctorsadvised Cognitive behavioral therapy, but that facility was not available at their place, and the parents could not afford it. Hence they came toAyurveda Hospital. The patient is assessed using the Internet addiction test scale and DSM-V scale for social behavior. The patient is diagnosed as acase of Gadget addiction (internet addiction) with abnormal social behavior. After proper physical examinations, the patient is counseled inexplaining the hazardous effects of excessive use of gadgets; along with this, he is advised daily Suryanamskara, &Dhyana(meditation) as a Yogaintervention. The patient was advised to play outdoor games daily, and his gadgets using time were reduced by systematic order. Parents wereadvised to be patient in family functions and social meetings & to spend time with children. All the training regarding intervention is given in PPTformat to the patient. The patient was asked to perform Suryanamaskara on follow-up days. On the 91st day, the patient was reassessed using theInternet addiction test scale and DSM-V scale for social behavior, which were normal. Gadget addiction is a common behavioral problem inchildren. Online gaming, gambling, excessive web browsing, and social media use are all included under the umbrella term "gadget addiction.". Evenif there is treatment for gadget addiction, people in remote areas may find it inconvenient due to a lack of infrastructure and specialized pediatricpsychologists. Hence, finding an effective and convenient treatment for Gadget addiction is necessary. This study aims to assess the efficacy ofAyurvedic management in Gadget addiction based on Ayurveda Non-pharmacological intervention. Any addiction results from bad decision-makingcapacity and less control over the mind. The intervention in this study, like Yoga, satvavajaya, proves beneficial to the patient.
Principles of Constructing Femininity in O.P. Runova’s Novel Moonlight
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kaplun Marianna V.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the work of the Russian writer Olga Pavlovna Runova (nee Meshcherskaya) (1864–1952) in the context of literary and gender discourse that developed in the modernist period. One of the most striking, accentuated feminine works of Runova is the epistolary story Moonlight, published in 1913 in the leading literary and political publication “Russian Thought.” Later, the story was included in another collection of Runova’s gender-specific prose, published in Petrograd in 1916 with the same title. In Moonlight the writer uses diary genre of unsent letter with first-person narration, trying to penetrate deeper into the inner world of a woman, to demonstrate her vulnerability to the patriarchal environment and to show possible options for overcoming a spiritual split. The story combines various artistic tactics of Runova in the construction of femininity, which were reflected in the prose of the writer of the 1900–1910s (psychosis, conformism, escapism). The character of story goes through all the stages of feminine self-determination: from internal discontent through rebellion/rejection to a compromise acceptance of dictated conditions. Runova sees the main way out for a woman in inner escapism, which gives an imaginary respite from the oppressive reality, the prevailing patriarchy, but not solving the problem of women’s self-determination outside the patriarchal world.
Literary Circle of the Poet I.A. Bunin in 1895–1900
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dvinyatina Tatiana M.
Published: September 2023

This article traces the history of the formation of Ivan Bunin’s poetic circle during the first years of his metropolitan literary career: from his first visit to Moscow in early 1895 to the time when he was preparing his key collection of poems, “Autumn” (1901). Those were the years when Bunin established contacts with the senior symbolists Konstantin Balmont and Valeriy Bryusov, made the acquaintance of Chekhov and Gorky and became friends with Aleksander Fedorov, Aleksander Kuprin and the members of the Fellowship of South Russian Artists, some of whom influenced the young Bunin’s literary work. By the beginning of the 1900s Bunin had formed links which subsequently strengthened with the Moscow Literary Circle, which included poets and writers from various movements, and the “Parnasus” association, which from 1899 was renamed “Wednesday” and included poets and writers of a non-symbolist tendency, among whom Bunin’s literary biography moved forward. Particular attention is paid in the article to the mutual influence between and textual echoes in Bunin’s poems and those of symbolists, which have to be taken into consideration in the scholarly annotations to the recently launched first complete edition of Bunin’s works.
“Letters from Nature”: Autobiographical Material in the Early Prose of Ivan Bunin
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ponomarev Evgeny R. ,   F.M. Dostoevsky Russian Christian Humanitarian Academy
Published: September 2023

The article reviews the traditional point of view about the immaturity and inconsistency of Ivan Bunin. On the basis of the new materials (complete corpus of Bunin’s early prose collected by the Bunin group of IWL RAS), the author claims that there are just a few literary clichés in the Bunin’s works of the late 1880s – early 1890s. Young Bunin is relieved of them by “writing from nature,” i. e. live sketches, genre scenes, accurate recording of conversations. Autobiographical material was one of the most important components of the technique “letter from nature,” i. e. the depiction of the relatives as special “types” (more in the Turgenev’s manner than in narodnik sociological plan), as well as the sketches of his own childhood, transformed love stories, etc. After citing examples of autobiographical material in Bunin’s early prose and considering the methods of its use in the texts, the author comes to the conclusion that Bunin’s early work is deeply independent, and Bunin’s “natural” poetics, formed in the first decade of his writing, influenced his poetics in the future.
“Tuberkulez Kuporosovich!” On I. Bunin’s Marginalia at V. Khodasevich’s “Collection of Poems”
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Volkova Ekaterina V. , Zakruzhnaya Zoya S. ,   А.М. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2023

The article introduces into scientific circulation and for the first time examines the marginalia of I.A. Bunin at the “Collection of Poems” (1927) by V.F. Khodasevich from the funds of the Russian Archive of Leeds (RAL). A comprehensive analysis of the marginalia of I. Bunin, undertaken by the authors of the article, allows to clarify both the aesthetic and general poetic principles of I. Bunin himself, and his attitude to the poetry of V. Khodasevich. As a result of the study, conclusions were made that in his marginalia I. Bunin appears as a traditionalist advocating for classical aesthetic orientation. He does not accept the symbolist worldview and modernist poetics, the mixing of prosaism and poetism, reduced “physiological” imagery, the use of heterogeneous lexical and stylistic layers. It is these characteristic features of V. Khodasevich’s poetry that cause the negative attitude of I. Bunin, which is reflected in his marks and comments. The negative marginalia of I. Bunin are also associated with the biographical context of V. Khodasevich’s poems, which is not always “read” by I. Bunin, as well as with allusions to the poetry of A. Bely and A. Blok.
Plots and Motifs of Matvey Korguev’s Runosongs in the Context of Karelian Epic Tradition
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics, Literature and History of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kundozerova Maria V.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the Karelian runosongs of the bilingual storyteller of the White Sea, Matvey Korguev. The tasks of the study include the identification of runosongs recorded from Korguev in archival and published sources; determination of their genre affiliation, range of plots and motifs; analysis of their features in the context of the Karelian epic tradition. The texts of 29 runosongs containing the plot “Searching for a tree for a boat” and 271 runes with the plot “Feast in Päivölä” from published collections and the Scientific Manuscript Archive of the Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences were used for comparison. It has been established that three runosongs were written down from M. Korguev, one of which (a handwritten version of 1938) is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. According to a comparative textual analysis, the records of 1938 and 1941 are variants of the epic runosong with contamination of the plots “Search for a tree for a boat” and “Feast in Päivölä,” while the text of 1935 contains only the plot “Feast in Päivölä.” All texts have an original composition, complicated by interspersing motifs from the plots “Competition in matchmaking” and “Journey to Pohjola.” The text of 1935 contains the motif of the birth of the sun from the yolk, which belongs to the plot “Creation of the World.” Most of the identified motifs are traditional for Karelian epic poetry. Unique are the motifs for setting off to marry on an ahkivo and the marriage of an uninvited guest who killed the host of the feast, as well as some details of the narrative.
“You Have a Lot of Soul, This Is the Main Thing for Creativity.” The Correspondence between Ivan Shmelyov and Leonid Zurov (1928–1929)
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lyubomudrov Alexei M.
Published: September 2023

For the first time the article introduces а correspondence between the writers of the Russian Diaspora Ivan Shmelyov and Leonid Zurov into a scientific circulation. Shmelyov’s letters contain some characteristics of the first books of the young writer and his artistic talent as well as outlines the prospects for a further creative path. Shmelyov turns his attention mainly to the inner world and personality of the writer. He advises Zurov to engage in self-education, get acquainted with Russian and European philosophy, develop his artistic word. The letters allow to see Shmelyov’s active care, which revealed in his initiative for publishing Zurov’s works in Paris periodicals, promoting the positive critics responses (reviews by V. Amphiteatrov and K. Zaitsev), and supporting Zurov’s decision to move from Riga to France. Some letters concern the episode with removing of the Zurov’s short story from the newspaper “Russkiy Invalid.” Sincere and warm Zurov’s letters reveal the details of his life in Riga. They also talk about his travelling around Latgale, which served as a source of his creative inspiration. The published correspondence, thus, introduces new nuances in the biographies of two bright creative personalities of the Russian emigration.
F.K. Sologub and Moscow Publishing House: History of Cooperation
Authors:   Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov, Romaikina Iuliia S.
Published: September 2023

Based on unpublished archival materials and pieces from epistolary sources, the article restores a history of F.K. Sologub’s cooperation with a popular publishing enterprise at the beginning of the 20th century — Moscow Publishing House. The article analyses business relationships between Sologub and Moscow Publishing House staff members: G.G. Blumenberg, the owner and the editor of the literary digests “Zemlia” (20 books, issued by Moscow Publishing House from 1908 to 1917); D.M. Rebrik, Blumenberg trading house’s authorized representative; Bunin, the editor of the first three books of “Zemlia”; V.S. Klestov, the representative of Moscow Publishing House in St. Petersburg. The article follows the history of Sologub’s art works publications in the literary digest “Zemlia” (short stories “The Old House” and “The Beastly Life,” a novel “Smoke and Ashes”) as well as separate editions of some books (short story collections titled “Fierce Year” (1916) and “The Blind Butterfly” (1918), a collection of poems “Red Poppy” (1917)). Based on the reviews of literary critics, the article proves thematic dialogues between the texts by Sologub and other authors within the context of “Zemlia” almanacs. Information on censorship revisions and payment considerations (gradual reduction of fees) appears to be definitely interesting from the perspective of the history of literature.
To the Biography of the Woman Writer Nadezhda A. Lappo-Danilevskaia
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lappo-Danilevskii Konstantin Yu.
Published: September 2023

The paper checks and reviews a number of key moments in the generally accepted biography of Nadezhda Aleksandrovna Lappo-Danilevskaia (born Liutkevich; 1871–1951), one of the most popular women writers of prerevolutionary Russia and of the Russian emigration, — a biography based first of foremost on information that she herself supplied. It establishes the correct date of her birth (September 29, 1871) and the most plausible birthplace (Mogilev, not Kiev); information about her father’s career and her close relatives is also reported. Materials from various Russian and Western archives allow us to elucidate important episodes of her life, such as: her marriage to the composer Sergei Sergeevich Lappo-Danilevskii (1868–1957) and the birth of their children; her singing career; the censorship of her novel “Princess Mara” (1914); the history of the English translation of her novel “A Russian Gentleman” and of its two editions (both 1917; in New York and in London); her literary and theatrical contacts in exile. Finally the fate of Lappo-Danilevskaia’s memoirs, written in French, is considered; their whereabouts are currently unknown.
The Scream Phenomenon in the Poetry of Ted Hughes
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Myasnikova Antonina A.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the phenomenon of artistic depiction of the scream in the poetry of the 20th century English poet Ted Hughes. The analysis of the poems reveals a gradual semantic expansion of the poetic image: while in early animalistic and landscape lyrics the scream is interpreted as an expression of animal suffering or the personification of wild nature, later collections containing elements of the author’s mythology show the acoustic image as a metaphor of the divine presence (“Adam and the Sacred Nine”), a symptom of split consciousness (“Prometheus on his crag”), a mechanism for healing psychological traumas (“Wolfwatching”), and also acquires cosmogonic features (“Crow,” “Cave birds”). The paradigm of the meanings ends with the “birth of the logos,” marking the beginning of the character’s communication with the outside world. The semantic transformation of the investigated motif turns out to be practically significant for the study of the author’s myth evolution. Hughes’ statements in letters and interviews, as well as the facts of biography, reflect the leitmotif formation in author’s work. This fact reveals the possibility of correlating the metaphor of the scream with Ted Hughes’ “poetic voice.”
Separability, estimates for eigenvalues and singular numbers ( s -numbers) of a class of hyperbolic type differential operators
Authors: Muratbekov Mussakan
Published: September 2023

In this paper we study the hyperbolic operator L u + μ u = u xx - u ww +
b ( w ) u x + q ( w ) u + μ u initially defined on C 0 , π ∞ ( Ω ‾ ) ,
where Ω ‾ = { ( x , w ) : - π ≤ x ≤ π , - ∞ < w < ∞
} , μ ≥ 0 . C 0 , π ∞ ( Ω ‾ ) is a set of infinitely differentiable
functions with compact support with respect to the variable w and
satisfying conditions with respect to the variable x: u ( - π , w
) = u ( π , w ) , u x ( - π , w ) = u x ( π , w ) , - ∞ < w
< ∞ . With respect to the coefficients b( w),
q( w) we assume that they are continuous functions in
R=(-∞ ,∞) and can be strongly increasing functions at infinity.
The operator L admits closure in L 2 ( Ω ) and the closure we
also denote by L. In the paper, under some restrictions on the
coefficients, in addition to the above conditions, we proved that there
is a bounded inverse operator and found conditions on b(
w) and q( w) that ensure the existence of the
estimate, i.e. separability of L ‖ u xx - u ww ‖ L 2 ( Ω ) + ‖ u
w ‖ L 2 ( Ω ) + ‖ b ( w ) u x ‖ L 2 ( Ω ) + ‖ q ( w ) u ‖ L 2 ( Ω ) ≤ c
⋅ ( ‖ L u ‖ L 2 ( Ω ) + ‖ u ‖ L 2 ( Ω ) ) , where
c>0 is a constant. Example 1. Let b ( w ) =
e 1000 | w | , q ( w ) = e 100 | w |
. Then the above estimate holds. In addition to the above results, the
paper proves the compactness of the resolvent, obtains two-sided
estimates for singular numbers (s-numbers). Here we note that estimates
of singular numbers (s-numbers) show the rate of approximation of the
resolvent of the operator L by linear finite-dimensional operators. An
example is given of how these estimates allow one to find estimates for
the eigenvalues of the operator under study.

Published: September 2023

In this paper, we investigate the the existence and stability of
non-trivial steady state solutions of a class of chemotaxis models with
zero-flux boundary conditions and Dirichlet boundary conditions on
one-dimensional bounded interval. By using upper-lower solution and the
monotone iteration scheme method, we get the existence of the
steady-state solution of the chemotaxis model. Moreover, by adopting the
“inverse derivative” technique and the weighted energy method to
obtain the stability of the steady-state solution of this chemotaxis
model.
Size-selection drives genomic shifts in a harvested population
Authors: Sadler Daniel , Sävilammi Tiina , Dijk Stephan van , Watts Phillip , Uusi-Heikkilä Silva
Published: September 2023

Overfishing not only drastically reduces the number of fish in an
exploited population but is often selective for body size removing the
largest individuals from a population. Here, we study experimentally the
evolutionary effects of size-selective harvesting using whole genome
sequencing on a model organism; the zebrafish, which also allows us to
quantify gene ontology terms due to the high-resolution reference
genome. We demonstrate genomic shifts in the populations exposed to
size-selective harvesting for five generations and show reduced genetic
diversity in all harvested lines, including control line
(non-size-selected). We also determine differences in gene ontogeny,
with enrichment in nervous system related genes. Our results illuminate
the biological processes underlying fisheries-induced genetic changes,
hence contribute towards the understanding of the changes potentially
associated with the vulnerability of an exploited population to future
stressors.

Published: September 2023

Atypical types of molluscum contagiosum (MC), which are present in immunocompromised patients and show substantial weakening of cellular immunity, can be difficult to diagnose. Low CD4 cell counts are associated with MC lesions, which are most frequently seen in HIV patients. We report MC lesions in the trunk and lower extremities in a 40-year-old HIV-positive female patient. A 75 cells/mm CD4 count was present in the patient. To rule out more dangerous disorders including dimorphic fungal infections, a skin biopsy was performed. The hypogastrum of the trunk and vulva were affected by the lesions which were painless, flesh-colored papules and nodules. Syphilis and hepatitis B virus testing came out negative, while serological tests for HIV-1 were positive. Intracytoplasmic molluscum bodies were detected in the skin biopsy. However, the opportunity for an early diagnosis in our case was lost.

Published: September 2023

Tea is among the most consumed drinks worldwide with broad health benefits, such as cardiovascular protection and anticancer effect. The chemical compositions of the tea change greatly. The evaluation of the composition of nutrients in tea plants cultivated in different countries is of great importance from the perspective of quality, standards, nutrition, and health. The objective of this study was to use different methods for analysis to determine if the tea extracts contain phenols, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids and tannins. The determination of phytochemicals is very important for many reasons. From the phytochemicals analysis it was conducted that the presence of tannins was found only in mint leaves and flowers. The analysis showed that flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids and phenols were present in all samples. The pH value was determined. Salvia officinalis had the highest pH value (7.35), while for the mint leaves and flowers the pH value was 6.45 respectively 7.02. TLC analysis of tea extracts was done for confirmation and visualization of bioactive compounds. ATR-FTIR was used to identify the functional groups as well as the possible structures of the compounds found in these plants. It can be concluded that these plants contain different bioactive compounds and can be recommended as plants of phytopharmaceutical importance.

Background

The Centre for Disease Control has recognised Mycoplasma genitalium as an emerging sexually transmitted infection. Sparse literature is available in India regarding Mycoplasma genitalium infection.

Aims

To evaluate the prevalence of Mycoplasma genitalium, its detection from samples obtained from various sites, evaluate co-infections and follow up after treatment.

Methods

A prospective study was conducted among 341 sexually active women presenting with the complaints of lower genital tract infection to the Municipal STD clinic and ART Centre. Endocervical swabs, vaginal swabs and urine samples were tested for Mycoplasma genitalium using uniplex and multiplex real-time PCR kits. Gram stain was used for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis. Data on HIV, RPR, TPHA, Hepatitis C and HBsAg were also collected.

Results

The mean age of the participants was 33.4 ± 5.7 years. Mycoplasma genitalium was found in 23 (6.7%) patients, while Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis were detected in 8 (2.3%) of the participants. The highest Mycoplasma genitalium positivity was in the endocervical swab sample at 6 (26%), followed by the urine sample at 4 (17.3%). The most common coinfection was HCV (33.3%), followed by syphilis (14.3%). The uniplex and multiplex kits showed 47.8% concordance for Mycoplasma genitalium in endocervical swab samples. Tobacco addiction was a significant risk factor for the Mycoplasma genitalium infection. Out of the 6 women who attended the follow up visit at the end of three months, a positive test for cure was seen in 4 (66.6%).

Limitations

Significant numbers of patients were lost to follow up. Also, the presence of anti-microbial resistance was not evaluated.

Conclusion

Mycoplasma genitalium is prevalent among women with high-risk behaviours, highlighting the need for further studies are needed among other high-risk populations.

In patients with cardiogenic shock, this review compares the efficacy of percutaneous microaxial left ventricular assist devices (pLVADs) to intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs) or no mechanical circulatory support (MCS). End-organ hypoperfusion brought on by insufficient cardiac output characterizes the potentially fatal disease known as cardiogenic shock. Relevant papers were found by a thorough search of internet resources and were incorporated into the study. The main outcomes evaluated were: (1) Short-term mortality, (2) hemodynamic indices, (3) organ function, and (4) Length of hospital stay. Considered secondary outcomes were: (1) Adverse events, (2) quality of life, and (3) long-term survival. As shown by increased cardiac output and mean arterial pressure, the findings of this research imply that pLVADs may provide superior hemodynamic support versus IABPs or no MCS. In addition, pLVADs may have better organ function and lower short-term mortality rates than IABPs or no MCS. However, using pLVADs was also linked to a higher risk of unfavorable outcomes, such as bleeding and vascular issues. Data on long-term survival and quality-of-life outcomes were sparse and ambiguous. In conclusion, as compared to IABPs or no MCS, pLVADs may offer more effective hemodynamic support and better short-term outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock. More investigation is required to fully comprehend the long-term advantages, hazards, and effects of pLVADs on the quality of life in this patient population.

Creation and development of methods for controlling combustion processes is an urgent task of scientific and applied research. The article reviews the existing devices and methods that allow estimating the parameters that are the basis of fire hazards. The existing foreign researches and laboratory installations intended for studying some parameters of combustion in a closed volume are given. On the basis of the conducted analysis the limitations of application of the existing domestic methods for estimation of combustion parameters for evaluation of fire development in conditions of closed space are revealed. The paper presents the developed laboratory stand with distinctive features, capabilities and limitations. The created installation will allow to carry out tests of various materials in conditions of lack of oxygen. The obtained results are supposed to be used to assess the fire hazard of the substance, as well as to verify and improve the mathematical models used for modelling and predicting combustion in closed volume conditions.

Proactive and Reactive Control in Emotional States: an Investigation of Fear using the AX-Continuous Performance Task in Virtual Reality
Authors:   , Schulde Jordan
Published: September 2023

Fear is a primitive and powerful emotion which affects us in many ways. Exactly how it may influence us however, particularly our ability to effectively pursue goals, is less well understood. Our ability to effectively pursue goals is directed by cognitive control and is proposed to be comprised of proactive and reactive mechanisms (Braver, 2012; Braver et al., 2009). Proactive control relies on the active and sustained maintenance of goals, thereby reducing conflict ahead of time, but also heavily consuming resources. Reactive control acts more transiently, re-activating goals in response to stimuli and events within the environment and is thus less effective, but also less resource intensive. To investigate the influence of fear on proactive and reactive mechanisms, I conducted two studies in which participants performed the AX-Continuous Performance Test (AX-CPT) while exposed to extreme heights in an ecologically valid virtual reality scene. If fear results in the reallocation of cognitive resources towards the perceived threat, thereby reducing overall cognitive resources (Pessoa, 2009; Curci et al., 2013; Klein et al., 2001; Hermans et al., 2014), there may be one of two influences on proactive and reactive mechanisms. First, there may be a decreased use of proactive control, and an increased use of reactive control, as proactive control is more resource heavy. Alternatively, there may be a reduction in both modes of control, as both necessitate cognitive resources. Results from an initial pilot study demonstrated that the emotion induction procedure was successful, and that the AX-CPT was successfully implemented in VR. Results from the main study indicated an increased use of reactive as well as proactive control under threat, suggesting that threat impairs the ability to flexibly use and choose between cognitive control modes, thereby impairing cognitive control specifically in situations of conflict where it is necessary. Results further support the notion that proactive and reactive mechanisms are independent.
