Do electricity consumption and economic growth lead to enviromental pollution: Empirical evidence from association of Southeast Asian countries
Authors: Nguyen V.C. , Thanh Hai Phan , Nguyen Thu Thuy
Published: August 2020

Nowadays, environmental pollution has become a global problem and common to both developed and developing countries. The purpose of this study is to analyze the environmental pollution during the period from 1990 to 2014 in order to discuss the most important factors can effect environmental quality in a specific region in Asia. Using a panel data, in particular generalized least squares model for the sample with T large, N small examined by Pesaran (2006), Sickles and Horrace (2014), our results that a less developed country has a lower level of environmental pollution than a more developed country. More specifically, countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam have a positive and significant effect on environmental degradation, but no effect for Myanmar. In regard to environmental quality across year, environmental pollution has become even more urgent over time. Specifically, a negative and significant effect can be found in the period from 2005 to 2014 but insignificant effect in the period from 1991 to 2004, and the magnitude of effect has increasingly increased. Further, electricity consumption and income have a positive and significant effect on environmental pollution. However, although export performance has a negative effect on environmental pollution but this effect was insignificant.

The data science of networks is a rapidly developing field with myriad applications. In neuroscience, the brain is commonly modeled as a connectome, a network of nodes connected by edges. While there have been thousands of papers on connectomics, the statistics of networks remains limited and poorly understood. Here, we provide an overview from the perspective of statistical network science of the kinds of models, assumptions, problems, and applications that are theoretically and empirically justified for analysis of connectome data. We hope this review spurs further development and application of statistically grounded methods in connectomics.

Published: August 2020

This study aims to analyze the financial data held by PT. BPR Jorong Kampung Kampung to see what level of efficiency and effectiveness of the company in carrying out its operational activities in obtaining profits. The profit rate is assessed using profitability ratios namely ROA (Return on assets), ROE (Return on equity), BOPO (operating costs to operating income) and NPM (Net profit margin). The data used are secondary data that is taken from the balance sheet and lab loss report obtained from the documentation of PT. BPR Jorong in the middle of Pariaman in the 2017-2018 period. Based on profitability analysis that ROA, ROE and NPM have decreased while BOPO has increased, due to increased costs incurred by banks so that the income earned is small. The result is that the bank is quite stable in carrying out its activities within the company.

Rapid turnaround of testing for COVID-19 infection is essential to containing the pandemic. Ideally, test results would be available the same day. Our findings indicate that the United States is not currently performing testing with nearly enough speed. In our large (19,058 respondents) national survey, conducted between July 10 and 26, we asked whether respondents had been tested for COVID-19 and how long they had waited to get results. Our finding: 37% of those who had been tested by nasal swab received results within 2 days, and the average wait time was 4.1 days; with 31% of tests taking more than 4 days, and 10% 10 days or more. Further, there are few signs that turnaround times are diminishing. For individuals who responded that their last test had been in April, they had waited on average 4.2 days to get results; and for individuals tested in July, 4.1 days.
Handling Illusive Text In Document To Improve Accuracy Of Plagiarism Detection Algorithm
Authors: Iqbal Zahid , Murtaza Shakeeb , Ayub Hamid
Published: August 2020

Plagiarism Detection is being one of the challenging tasks in academic research world to ensure integrity/authenticity of a document. Currently, many efficient algorithms are available to sufficiently detect the plagiarism in a document. Pre-processing of a document typically remain a master key to achieve maximum stable goal. Although all algorithms, before checking plagiarism, initially perform some sort of pre-processing on documents and convert the document into a particular format like by removing whitespaces and all special characters, etc. In this paper, we focus on two possible techniques, which can be used for plagiarism, which existing plagiarism detection algorithms are omitting. First is replacing the white spaces with a hidden character with white colour (background colour) between consecutive words so apparently, they seem to be distinct words, but algorithm/computer will incorrectly consider them as a single word. So even a 100% copied statement would not be identified as plagiarised content. Second is hiding spam text behind images to falsely report maximum number of words count in a document but as they are hidden so human eye can’t discover them and algorithm will consider them as some words resulting in less percentile score of the plagiarised document. Our proposed (pre-processing) technique can efficiently handle these two critical problems which results in improved accuracy and authenticity of plagiarism checking algorithms. We have compared performance of our algorithm considering these critical issues with other state-of-art algorithm (particularly with Turnitin) and our algorithm handles these issues efficiently.

At least 5 companies have launched Phase III clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines, the final step before seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to NIAID director Anthony Fauci, vaccines may be widely available in the U.S. by spring 2021 if these trials are successful.But should these vaccines become available, will Americans accept them? Between July 10 and July 26, we surveyed 19,058 adults in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. We asked about the likelihood that they would seek vaccination for themselves, and for their children. We also asked about the factors that would influence their decision making.We find that, overall, 66% of adults would be somewhat or extremely likely to vaccinate themselves; 66% would be somewhat or extremely likely to vaccinate their children. These rates vary markedly between states, as shown on the figure below.

Published: August 2020

Objective: Women are becoming more prevalent in clinical neuropsychology, but gender bias and disparities persist across multiple professional domains. This study examined potential gender disparities in historical authorship trends across commonly read journals in clinical neuropsychology. Method: Analyses were conducted on 10,531 articles published in six clinical neuropsychology journals from 1985 to 2019. Each author was coded as either a man or a woman using the OpenGenderTracking Project database. Results: On average, women comprised 43.3% ( 30.6) of the authors listed in clinical neuropsychology article bylines and were lead and/or corresponding author on 50.3% of these papers. Findings varied by journal, with Child Neuropsychology having the best representation of women across several study metrics. Women comprised an increasing proportion of authors over time and the gender gap in clinical neuropsychology is smaller than was recently reported for the broader field of psychology; nevertheless, the recent rates of female authorship lag behind the prevalence of women in clinical neuropsychology. Encouragingly, gender was not associated with the number of times an article was cited. Articles that included women in leadership roles had significantly more authors overall and specifically more women authors. Conclusions: Women are under-represented as authors in clinical neuropsychology journals, but they are becoming more common and their papers are cited just as frequently as their male colleagues. Efforts to increase women as research mentors and sponsors may help to further close the publishing gender gap in clinical neuropsychology.

Published: August 2020

Objective. Erroneous gesture execution is at the core of motor cognition difficulties in apraxia. While a taxonomy of errors may provide important information about the nature of the disorder, classifications are currently often inconsistent. This study aims to identify the error categories which distinguish apraxic from non-apraxic patients. Method. Two groups of mixed and bucco-facial apraxic patients were compared to non-apraxic, left and right hemisphere damaged patients in tasks tapping the ability to perform transitive and intransitive limb and mouth actions. The errors were analysed and classified into 6 categories relating to content, configuration or movement, spatial or temporal parameters and unrecognisable actions. Results. Although all these error typologies may be observed, the most indicative of mixed apraxia relate to content and configuration, while configuration and unrecognisable/destructured action errors seem to be typical of bucco-facial apraxia. Spatial errors are similar in both apraxic and right brain damaged, non-apraxic patients. A lesion mapping analysis of left-brain damaged patients demonstrates that the error categories (except for spatial errors) are all associated with the fronto-parietal network. Tellingly, content errors are also associated with fronto-insular lesions and movement errors with damage to the paracentral territory (precentral and postcentral gyri). Spatial errors more frequently involve ventral frontal lesions. Conclusions. Bucco-facial and mixed apraxic patients make different types of errors in different types of actions. Not all errors are equally indicative of apraxia. In addition, the various error categories are associated with at least partially different neural correlates.
Simulated central vision loss impairs implicit location probability learning
Authors: Addleman Douglas A , Legge Gordon E , Jiang Yuhong
Published: August 2020

Some eye diseases, especially macular degeneration, can cause central vision loss (CVL), impairing goal-driven guidance of attention. Does CVL also affect implicit, experience-driven attention? We investigated how simulated central scotomas affected young adults’ ability to prioritize locations frequently containing visual search targets (location probability learning). Participants searched among distractor letter ‘L’s for a target ‘T’ that appeared more often in one screen quadrant than others. To dissociate potential impairments to statistical learning of target locations and attentional guidance, two experiments each included search with and without simulated scotomas. Experiment 1 successfully induced probability learning in a no scotoma phase. When participants later searched both with and without simulated scotomas, they showed persistent, statistically equivalent spatial biases in both no-scotoma and scotoma search. Experiment 2 trained participants with a central scotoma. While Experiment 1’s participants acquired probability learning regardless of their self-reported awareness of the target’s location probability, in Experiment 2 only aware participants learned to bias attention to the high probability region. Similarly, learning with a scotoma affected search with no scotoma in aware but not unaware participants. Together, these results show that simulated central vision loss interferes with the acquisition of implicitly learned location probability learning, supporting a role of central vision in implicit spatial attentional biases.
Depression symptoms relationship with music use: Investigating the role of trait affect, musical ability, music preferences

Published: August 2020

People across cultures often use music to evoke positive emotions and moods. Yet, some people tend to employ maladaptive strategies such as rumination, avoidant coping, or social isolation when they listen to music. The present research investigated how strongly maladaptive musical engagement is linked with depression and wellbeing in a sample of 1415 Indians (17 - 65 years) across four cities and two countries. Participants completed a battery of assessments on trait affect, depression, adaptive and maladaptive musical engagement strategies, music preferences, and music skills. 1329 participants were included for analysis. All nine symptoms (r = .16, to .30) and the sum score of depression (r = .39), as well as trait negative affect (r = .36) were correlated with maladaptive music engagement. Six of the symptoms of depression were significant predictors of maladaptive music engagement. Among those, suicidal ideation, worthlessness, and fatigue were the most important. Maladaptive music engagement increased the odds of experiencing all the depression symptoms (OR = 1.04 to 1.14). Trait positive affect (r = .29) and having music as a hobby (r = .22) correlated with adaptive music engagement. Musicians who had been playing an instrument for six years and above had lower levels of maladaptive music engagement (d = .84). Furthermore, the results show that depression symptoms might have a bidirectional relationship with maladaptive music engagement, with suicidal thoughts being the most important symptom. The current study also validated the Healthy-Unhealthy Music Scale (HUMS; Saarikallio, Gold & McFerran, 2015) in India and provides a cut-off score based on the sensitivity (.86) and specificity (.66) in identifying people at risk for depression. Overall, the results reveal that socio-demographic factors (age, gender, relationship status, occupation status, geographical location), psychological factors (trait affect, depressive symptoms), and music skills play an important role in engaging with music.
Dispersion matters: Diagnostics and control data computer simulation in Concealed Information Test studies
Authors: Lukács Gáspár , Specker Eva
Published: August 2020

Binary classification has numerous applications. For one, lie detection methods typically aim to classify each tested person either as “liar” or as “truthteller” based on the given test results. To infer practical implications, as well as to compare different methods, it is essential to assess the diagnostic efficiency, such as demonstrating the number of correctly classified persons. However, this is not always straightforward. In Concealed Information Tests (CITs), the key predictor value (probe-irrelevant difference) for “truthtellers” is always similar (zero on average), and “liars” are always distinguished by a larger value (i.e., a larger number resulting from the CIT test, as compared to the zero baseline). Thereby, in general, the larger predictor values a given CIT method obtains for “liars” on average, the better this method is assumed to be. This has indeed been assumed in countless studies, and therefore, when comparing the classification efficiencies of two different designs, the mean difference of “liar” predictor values in the two designs were simply compared to each other (hence not collecting “truthteller” data to spare resources). We show, based on the meta-data of 12 different experimental designs collected in response time-based CIT studies, that differences in dispersion (i.e., variance in the data, e.g. the extent of random deviations from the zero average in case of “truthtellers”) can substantially influence classification efficiency–to the point that, in extreme cases, one design may even be superior in classification despite having a larger mean “liar” predictor value. However, we also introduce a computer simulation procedure to estimate classification efficiency in the absence of “truthteller” data, and validate this procedure via a meta-analysis comparing outcomes based on empirical data versus simulated data.
Prosocial behavior promotes positive emotion during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: August 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about humans’ physical and mental well-being. In response, there has been an urgent “call to action” for psychological interventions that enhance positive emotion and psychological resilience. Prosocial behavior has been shown to effectively promote well-being, but is this strategy effective during a pandemic when ongoing apprehension for personal safety could acutely heighten self-focused concern? In two online pre-registered experiments (N =1,623) conducted during the early stage of pandemic (April 2020), we examined this question by randomly assigning participants to engage in other- or self-beneficial action. For the first time, we manipulated whether prosocial behavior was related to the source of stress (COVID-19): participants purchased COVID-19-related (personal protective equipment, PPE) or COVID-19-unrelated items (food/writing supplies) for themselves or someone else. Consistent with pre-registered hypotheses, prosocial (vs. non-prosocial or proself) behavior led to higher levels of self-reported positive affect, empathy and social connectedness. Notably, we also found that psychological benefits were larger when generous acts were unrelated to COVID-19 (vs. related to COVID-19). When prosocial and proself spending involved identical COVID-19 PPEs items, prosocial behavior’s benefits were detectable only on empathy and social connectedness, but not on post-task positive affect. These findings suggest that while there are boundary conditions to be considered, generous action offers one strategy to bolster well-being during the pandemic.
Unsolicited but acceptable: Non-owners can access property if the owner benefits
Authors: Stonehouse Emily , Friedman Ori
Published: August 2020

People are normally restricted from accessing property without permission from the owner. The principle that nonowners are excluded from property is central to theories of ownership, and previous findings suggest it could be a core feature of the psychology of ownership. However, we report six experiments on children (N = 480) and adults (N = 211) showing that this principle may not apply for actions that benefit the owner—actions like repairing broken property. In Experiment 1, 3–5-year-olds judged it more acceptable for a nonowner to repair broken property than to move it. Experiments 2 and 3 replicated this with 4–6-year-olds using different question wordings and showed that children also approve of replacing broken property. Experiment 4 showed these findings replicate regardless of whether the nonowner and owner are acquainted. Finally, Experiments 5 and 6 revealed a boundary condition on approval of unsolicited beneficial actions: Both 4–6-year-olds and adults judged repairing property more acceptable than modifying it to suit the owner’s preferences. These findings suggest that restrictions on nonowners are less absolute than often claimed, and that participants’ judgments depended on generic information about which actions are typically beneficial, rather than on consideration of owners’ specific preferences.

Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion with excision of recurrent long segmental midline anterior cervical arachnoid cyst
Authors: Thapa Ashish Jung , Tandon Asheesh , Agrawal Alok
Published: August 2020

Anterior midline cervical arachnoid cysts are very rare, common in the thoracic region. The treatment of midline ventrally lying arachnoid cyst may be challenging via a posterior approach because of a lack of direct visualization of the entire cyst, in particular, its attachment to the cord, complete excision of the cyst wall through a posterior approach is not always possible. Incomplete excision at the first operation and the reaction caused by the epithelial secretion from the marsupialized cyst makes surgery for recurrence very difficult. So, Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) with cyst excision may be the ideal approach for the anterior midline arachnoid cyst with complete removal and fewer chances of recurrence. Here we report a case of long segmental recurrent midline anterior arachnoid cyst which is completely excised using an anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion and the patient improved drastically neurologically.

A study on elevation of troponin I in ischemic stroke as an independent prognostic marker of outcomes
Authors: Thapa Pradeep , Agrawal Jagdish Prasad , Baniya Rajani
Published: August 2020

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, comprising approximately 10% of all deaths. A substantial number of stroke patients have elevated cardiac troponin levels and are associated with poorer prognosis.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted for 1 year at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, in which 101 acute ischemic stroke patients were enrolled. Data included vital signs, laboratory parameters, and clinical features evaluated at the time of admission. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin scale (mRS) were used to assess stroke severity and outcomes.

Results: Elevated troponin I (> 0.034 ng/mL) was observed in eight (7.9%) patients. Compared to patients with normal troponin I, patients with elevated troponin I were older(mean age 61vs 59.68 years), had higher blood glucose( 10.6 vs. 7.04 mmol/L), higher median white blood cells( 9.3 vs. 8.9 1,000/m3) and creatinine levels(119.5 μmol/L vs. 95.9 μmol/L), higher mean NIHSS scores on admission(16 vs. 8.6), and discharge(14.5 vs. 6.8), higher median mRS scores( 4.13 vs. 1.8) at discharge(p<0.001). Poor outcomes were observed in 34(33.66%) patients of 101 patients and death occurred in five (4.9%) patients. Patients with abnormal troponin I had poorer outcomes than normal troponin I level patients (p=<0.001) and significantly higher deaths (p=0.006). Univariate analysis of continuous variables revealed that patients with poor outcomes compared to good outcomes had higher troponin levels (0.029 vs. 0.013 ng/mL, p=0.001), creatinine levels (113.5 vs. 89.8μmol/L, p=0.007), NIHSS score on admission (13.4 vs. 5.10, p<0.001),discharge (12.4 vs. 5.1, p<0.001), and higher mRS scores at discharge (3.71 vs. 1.16, p<0.001).Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that NIHSS score on admission>13(OR 15.902; 95%CI[3.65-69.28],p=<0.001) and abnormal troponin I level, troponin I>0.029 ng/mL (odds ratio[OR]:28.451; 95% CI[2.785-290.6],p=0.005) were significant predictors of poor outcomes. Significant predictor of in hospital mortality only included troponin I level >0.04 ng/mL (0R 0.071; 95% CI [0.005-1.037], P=0.05).

Conclusion: Troponin I provide better information than age and other laboratory parameters in the prediction of outcomes of stroke. Elevation of troponin I during acute stroke is a strong predictor of both poor outcomes and in-hospital mortality.

Published: August 2020

This paper examines different factors promoting trust for knowledge creation in the hospitality industry such as hotel, travel and trekking agencies. The study is based on primary data with 382 responses. The self-administered questionnaires is used to collect the perceptive opinions from the respondents. The study concludes that hospitality industry employees’ the “honest and reliable team members” and “truthful employees” are most important factor to trust for knowledge creation while “employees have mutual faith in others’ abilities” influences less. There is no significant difference between response of gender, age groups, educational groups, work experience groups, marital status, current department and current position groups in the context of trust.

Authors: Segura Javier Lopez , Urgoiti Nicolas
Published: August 2020

An AC magnetic sensor is presented for measuring the high speed and high strength magnetic field generated in Z-pinch fusion machines. The proposed magnetic sensor provides the measurement of magnetic fields across a broadband frequency range. The simulation of magnetic probe is presented using a SPICE simulation software LTspice. The magnetic sensors are installed in a Pulsotron-3 Z-pinch machine and measured performance of the sensor are presented. This sensor also can be used to check the ignition conditions of the Z-Pinch by measuring the magnetic field generated by the output streams of large number of reacted alpha particles. The equations for measuring non-stationary magnetic field due to rapidly varying electric currents and a LTspice simulation file are provided to help the engineers to design, build, and install this kind of sensors.
A Rare Case of Rectal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Associated with Parapharyngeal Metastasis
Authors: Julien Sleiman Marwan , Julien Sleiman Marwan , Marie Laure Amram , Frédéric Ris , Christian Toso , Nicolas Christian Buchs , Ziad Abbassi
Published: August 2020

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most frequent mesenchymal tumors and represent 1-
3% of all digestive neoplasms. Their incidence is 0.68 per 10,000 people. GISTs originate from the
interstitial cells of Cajal, which are known as the gastrointestinal pacemaker, and carry mutations in the KIT
gene in 95% of those affected. GISTs occur mainly in the middle-aged and rarely under the age of 40. The
main age of presentation is 64 years old. The most common site of metastasis is the liver (65%), and
exceptionally the bone (3%).
Discussion: Rectal GISTs represent 5 to 15% of all GISTs. They are usually asymptomatic and discovered
incidentally. Surgical resection with curative intent is the standard treatment for localized GISTs. Complete
excision of the tumor is the most significant factor related to the outcome and can be accomplished in 40-
60% of cases. For borderline or unresectable lesions, neoadjuvant treatment with anti-tyrosine kinase
(imatinib) should be considered. Imatinib is considered to be a relatively safe treatment and is generally
well-tolerated by patients. Overall, the five-year survival rate is 90% for low-grade GIST, but the prognosis
is worse for high-grade tumors (< 20%). Bone metastasis is a rare site of GIST metastases and usually
presents itself during disease relapse. We present a rare case of a patient with an oligometastatic with pelvic
bone lesion rectal GIST who developed parapharyngeal metastasis infiltrating C3 with airway compromise.
Unfortunately, the patient passed away after massive tracheal bleeding.
Conclusion: Bone metastasis from GIST is uncommon. The development of dyspnea and hoarseness should
prompt the diagnosis of potential life-threatening complications such as parapharyngeal metastasis.

The Unemployment of Special Needs with Learning Disability People in Malaysia: Reality or Fantasy
Authors: Izam Saslizawati , Wan Azlinda Wan Mohamed
Published: August 2020

This concept paper describes the issues concerning people with special needs, the category of people with special needs, education provided for people with special needs, the issue of unemployment faced by people with special needs of learning disabilities and the effects of unemployment on these special needs on themselves, families, communities and countries. The special needs or also known as people with disability (PWD) are individuals who have a lack of physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments in the long run where they are unable to commit fully and effectively to the society if they are faced with obstacles or problems.  The findings from the literature review show that there is an issue of unemployment among people with special needs in learning disabilities. Thus, research to improve the employability skills for people with special needs of learning disability has to be done to address this problem by taking into account factors that affect unemployed people with special needs of learning disabilities.

The presented article is devoted to the study of the relationship of adolescents with tubercular infection to their parents. Tuberculosis is known to be a serious somatic infectious disease. Its treatment is carried out in a hospital and outpatiently for a long time. The prognosis of the course and cure of the disease is not always clear and predictable. The severity of the disease, side effects of drugs, changes in conditions and quality of life, disruption of social contacts, uncertainty of near and distant health prognoses, disruption of family relationships, social and material distress significantly affect attitudes toward the disease, treatment and cure for tuberculosis. Adolescence is one of the most difficult periods in every person’s life. The disease has a significant effect on the adolescent’s growing up, their ideas of future. Parental support is especially important for young people who have to be treated for a long time, who are aware of the severity of their disease, its social danger. Relations with parents play an important role in adapting to the disease, in forming adherence to treatment. However, often parents themselves become a source of infection for their child, the formation of multiple drug resistance. Improper upbringing, inadequate attitude to the child’s disease and its treatment lead to disruption of the medical-diagnostic and medical-rehabilitation processes aimed at treating tuberculosis.
The English and England in the French literature during the Hundred Years War
Authors: Kuzmina Margarita V.
Published: August 2020

The article is devoted to the question of how and why the images of the British in French literary works of the Hundred Years War period received their reflection. The Hundred Years War became a catalyst for the formation of the French nation and national identity. French authors, whose works are analyzed, belonged to different age and social groups, had different educational levels, and the time of their work covers the period from the end of the XIV century until the first half of the XV century. It is such a rather long period that allows us to see the dynamics in the development of the national identity of the French authors. The sense of homeland, which each had their own (Champagne, Normandy), they intertwined with the awareness of themselves subjects of the French king. In this sense, we can talk about the transfer of patriotic feelings in relation to a particular territory to France within the French kingdom as a whole. The image of the British as conquerors ravaging the French lands, in the views of some of the authors, however, does not mix with a respectful attitude to English culture.

Gulf Stream gyres may have dictated the outcome of the Covid-19 disease in Western Europe
Authors: Rodriguez Carlos
Published: August 2020

When looking at the Covid-19 fatality data on an Atlantic European map, what sticks out is a pattern of often neighboring areas with contrasting mortality rates. In countries like Spain or France, these areas can be grouped into interior (high mortality rates) and coastal (low mortality rates). When we draw the Low Mortality Areas (LMA) as a continuous line throughout the Atlantic European coastline, there is a striking coincidence between the resulting LMA corridor and the coastal area of immediate influence of the Gulf Stream. This coincidence begs the speculation that the two arms of the Gulf Stream may have determined to some exent the outcome of the Covid-19 pandemic in Western Europe.
