Data Mining Techniques for Pandemic Outbreak in Healthcare
Authors: Abdul Satar Nur Izyan Suraya , Mohamed Azlinah , Ali Azliza Mohd
Published: May 2021

Pandemic outbreaks such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and Covid-19 have attracted worldwide attention since these viruses have affected many countries and become a global public health issue. In 2019, Covid-19 was announced as a pandemic disease and categorized as a public health emergency globally. It is ranked as the sixth most serious pandemic internationally. This pandemic tracking and analysis require an appropriate method that gives better performance in terms of accuracy, precision and recall that defines its pattern since it involves huge and complicated datasets from the pandemic. Pattern identification is currently applied in many instances due to the rapid growth of data besides having theÂ Â  potential to generate a knowledge-rich environment which can help to significantly improve the quality of clinical decisions and identify the relationships between data items. Therefore, there is a need to review the techniques in data mining on the pandemic outbreak that focuses on healthcare. The goal of this study was to analyze the algorithms from the data mining method that had been implemented for pandemic outbreaks in past research such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and Covid-19. The result shows that 2 main algorithms, namely NaÃ¯ve Bayes and Decision Tree, from the classification method, are appropriate algorithms and give more than 90% accuracy in both the pandemic and healthcare. This will be further considered and investigated for future analysis on large datasets of Covid-19 which can help researchers and healthcare practitioners in controlling the infection of the coronavirus using the data mining technique discussed.
Using Prazosin to Treat Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Associations: A Systematic Review
Authors: Paiva Henrique Soares , Filho Idiberto José Zotarelli , Cais Carlos Filinto da Silva
Published: May 2021

Objective A central adrenergic hyperactivation is described in the neurobiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with probable variable symptomatic impact. Few studies have evaluated using the alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist prazosin for such symptoms; however, given the likely pathophysiology involved, this drug may play an important role in the pharmacological approach to PTSD.Methods This study assessed articles already published on the use of prazosin through a systematic review along a timeline in view of the symptomatic target of difficult access by standardized treatments. The impact of using this medication for the general symptoms of PTSD is also discussed. Several databases were searched for articles in the literature on the use of prazosin to treat PTSD.Results A total of 168 articles were found containing search terms in the title or abstract. Overall, 85 articles met the criteria described, and 48 studies were explored to conduct the present systematic review. Most articles showed some improvement after prazosin administration, especially in relation to sleep symptoms (nightmares and night waking). Only one article demonstrated no improvement after the use of this drug. More randomized studies are needed.Conclusion Several clinical studies demonstrated the relevant role of prazosin for treating PTSD symptoms. Prazosin is an affordable and cost-effective pharmacological option compared to other drugs used to treat PTSD.

Vitrification negatively affects the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in oocytes while also leading to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), ATP depletion and induction of apoptosis in oocytes. Mitoquinone (MitoQ) is an antioxidant that protects mitochondrial membrane
integrity from ROS. This study examined the effect of adding MitoQ to vitrification medium on mitochondrial function and embryo development in vitrified oocytes. Metaphase II (MII) stage oocytes were collected from NMRI mouse ovaries and preincubated for 20 min in a medium containing 0.02
μM of MitoQ. Next, oocytes were vitrified in medium supplemented with 0.02μM of MitoQ (treatment group). The control group was processed in the same way but without exposure to MitoQ. After warming, oocyte survival rate, ΔΨm, cytoplasmic ROS and glutathione (GSH) levels and
gene expression levels (Bcl2, BAX, and caspase3) were measured. In addition, the vitrified oocytes were fertilized in-vitro to assess developmental competence. The results showed that MitoQ improved survival and ΔΨm in treated vitrified oocytes. Treated oocytes
showed lower ROS levels and higher GSH levels than did the control group. Furthermore, mRNA expression of the Bax/ Bcl2 ratio and caspase3 were significantly lower in treated oocytes. These findings indicate that medium supplementation with 0.02 μM of MitoQ during vitrification
can improve oocyte survival and developmental competency in mouse oocytes.

Differential expression of G protein-coupled receptor associated sorting protein 1 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding G protein-coupled receptor associated sorting protein 1, GPRASP1, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. GPRASP1 was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. GPRASP1 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of GPRASP1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal A subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. GPRASP1 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
Symptom-Level Networks of Youth- and Parent-Reported Depression and Anxiety in a Transdiagnostic Clinical Sample
Authors: Grassie Hannah L , Kennedy Sarah , Halliday Elizabeth , Bainter Sierra , Ehrenreich-May Jill
Published: May 2021

Background: Depression and anxiety disorders are a significant public health concern for youth and their co-occurrence places youth at a higher risk for poor psychosocial outcomes. This comorbidity is often examined through the lens of the common cause model that emphasizes shared latent variables; however, this approach minimizes the role of individual symptoms as meaningful agents contributing to comorbidity in youth. In the present study, we use network analysis to investigate the role of and interactions among individual depression and anxiety symptoms in a treatment-seeking clinical sample. Methods: We estimate regularized partial correlation networks for youth- and parent reported symptoms in a transdiagnostic sample of youth (N= 417, ages 8-18). We examined features of the symptom-level networks such as network stability, centrality, bridge symptoms, and communities. Moreover, we compare the youth- and parent-reported networks to examine informant discrepancies in such features. Results: Results indicate stable networks with disorder-specific clustering, such that symptoms were more interconnected within compared to between disorders. Symptoms related to self-comparison to peers and negative views of the future were most central in both networks. In the youth-reported network, worries for the future and hopelessness bridged the two symptom domains, whereas self-comparison to peers and low self-efficacy bridged depression and anxiety sub-networks in the parent network. Distinct symptom clusters emerged in the parent- and youth-reported networks. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that negative self-evaluations and negative views of the future are influential symptoms in the presentation and co-occurrence of depression and anxiety and as such may be promising targets in the treatment and prevention of depression and anxiety in youth. These findings contribute to a growing body of literature suggesting network analysis is an effective tool for elucidating transdiagnostic symptoms of psychiatric disorders.
Cross-Dimensional Framework: A Way to Integrate Social Context on Personality Assessment
Authors: Mercado Angeline
Published: May 2021

Despite various advances on methods, personality scale development still tends to focus on traits, leaving social context out of the equation. To address this, Cross-Dimensional Framework (Cross D) was devised to systematically integrate social context on every item of a personality scale. The framework was used to develop Cross-Dimensional Conscientiousness Scale (XC). After standardization, XC was administered to 304 Filipino college students along with the Conscientiousness scale items from International Personality Item Pool Representation of the NEO PI-R (IPIP NEO), and Big Five Inventory (BFI). Statistical analyses were performed to see whether (1) the theoretical assumptions of Cross D are true, and if the framework does not compromise the (2) reliability and (3) validity of the test created. Majority of the results support all the assumptions of Cross D without compromising the reliability and validity of the test based on it, thereby proving the utility of the framework for personality scale development. Besides the novelty of integrating social context on personality scale development, the framework also paves way for the possible quantification of trait’s consistent expression across social context.

An Examination of Demographic Differences in Obtaining Investment and Financial Planning Information
Authors: Bechly Paul Lorin
Published: May 2021

Financial literacy and financial education are important components of modern life. The importance of financial literacy is increasing for financial consumers because of the weakening of both government and employer-based retirement systems. Unfortunately, empirical research shows that financial consumers are not fully informed and are not able to make proper choices even when appropriate information is available. More research is needed as to how financial consumers obtain investment and financial planning information. A primary data study was conducted to understand the differences between the demographic categories of gender, age, education-level, and income-level with the means of obtaining investment and financial planning information. In this research study, which selected a population from the LinkedIn platform, statistical differences between gender, age, education-level, and income-level were confirmed. These differences helped to confirm prior research in this field of study. Practical opportunities for commercial outreach to specific populations became evident through this type of research. Providers of investment and financial planning information can access their targeted audience more effectively by understanding the demographic profile of the audience, as well as the propensity of the demographic profile of the audience to respond. As this type of research is relatively easy to construct and administer, commercial outreach for providers of investment and financial planning information can be conducted in a cost-efficient and effective manner.
Multiple imputation via chained equations for elastic well log imputation and prediction
Authors: Hallam Antony , Mukherjee Debajoy , Chassagne Romain
Published: May 2021

Well logging is an essential component in the petroleum industry for developing a proper understanding of the subsurface geology and formation conditions.Unfortunately, the measurements are rarely complete and missing data intervals are common due to operational issues or malfunction of the logging device. Therefore the imputation of missing data from down-hole well logs is a common problem in subsurface workflows.Recently, many different approaches have been utilised but they are often manual or generalise poorly. Machine learning has reignited interest in this field with promises of a more generic and simpler approach.We explore whether the chaining of machine learning for mutli-log imputation improves results by overcoming disparities in the patterns of missing data. We will focus this work on the elastic logs of compressional (DT) and shear (DTS) sonic along with the bulk density (RHOB).
A Distributional and Sensorimotor Analysis of Noun and Verb Fluency
Authors: Qiu Mengyang , Johns Brendan
Published: May 2021

Category verbal fluency tasks, where participants are asked to produce words according to a semantic category, are typically noun-based (e.g., animals). While insights about the integrity and retrieval of semantic knowledge have been obtained by analyzing the ordinal variances of word production in these noun-based fluency tasks, focusing exclusively on noun categories ignores the semantic knowledge contributed by other semantic/grammatical categories, especially verbs. To better understand the representational differences of nouns and verbs within the mental lexicon, the current study conducted and contrasted different noun- and verb-based fluency tasks. By analyzing the use of different lexical information sources, including word frequency, and context and order similarity derived from a computational model of lexical semantics (BEAGLE; Jones & Mewhort, 2007), and the use of perceptual information derived from the recently released sensorimotor norms (Lynott, Connell, Brysbaert, Brand, & Carney, 2020), it was found that these information sources consistently distinguished noun and verb retrieval, signaling the underlying distributional and sensorimotor representational differences for these two semantic/grammatical categories. The results demonstrate the essential and integral role that distributional and grounded/embodied models play in understanding language and cognition, and highlight the usefulness of verbal fluency tasks in exploring theoretical questions in memory and psycholinguistics.
Assessing Implicit Attitudes about Androgyny
Authors: Atwood S. , Axt Jordan
Published: May 2021

This research examines attitudes towards androgyny using a novel Implicit Association Test (IAT) that assesses implicit evaluations of gender conforming people (i.e., those who look stereotypically male or female) vs. androgynous people (i.e., those whose appearance includes a combination of masculine and feminine traits). Over 6 studies (N > 6000), we develop a gender expression IAT and present evidence for its internal validity and incremental predictive validity with relevant psychosocial attitudes, such as need for closure, political ideology, and support for nonbinary affirming policies. Although the IAT consistently revealed more positive associations towards gender conforming than androgynous people and was reliably correlated with parallel measures of explicit attitudes, it failed to predict several behavioral outcomes related to gender expression in contexts like judgment, perceptual fluency, and mouse-tracking. We discuss the implications of these results concerning the study of gender expression and implicit social cognition.
Stuck in a lockdown: dreams, bad dreams, nightmares, and their relationship to stress, depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: May 2021

Background: An upsurge in dream and nightmare frequency has been noted since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and research shows increases in levels of stress, depression and anxiety during this time. Growing evidence suggests that dream content has a bi-directional relationship with psychopathology, and that dreams react to new, personally significant and emotional experiences. The first lockdown experience was an acute event, characterized by a combination of several unprecedented factors (new pandemic, threat of the disease, global uncertainty, , experience of social isolation, exposure to stressful information) that resulted in a large-scale disruption of life routines. This study aimed at investigating changes in dream, bad dream and nightmare recall; most prevalent dream themes, and the relationship between dreams, bad dreams, nightmares and symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety during the first COVID-19 lockdown (April-May 2020) through a national online survey.Methods: 968 participants completed an online survey. Dream themes were measured using the Typical Dreams Questionnaire; stress levels were measured by the Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale; symptoms of anxiety were assessed by Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale; and symptoms of depression were assessed using the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology. Results: 34% (328) of participants reported increased dream recall during the lockdown. The most common dream themes were centered around the topics of 1) inefficacy (e.g., trying again and again, arriving late), 2) human threat (e.g., being chased, attacked); 3) death; and 4) pandemic imagery (e.g., being separated from loved ones, being sick). Dream, bad dream and nightmare frequency was highest in individuals with moderate to severe stress levels. Frequency of bad dreams nightmares and dreams about the pandemic, inefficacy and death were associated with higher levels of stress, as well as with greater symptoms of depression and anxiety. Conclusions: Results support theories of dream formation, environmental susceptibility and stress reactivity. Dream content during the lockdown broadly reflected existential concerns and was associated with increased symptoms of mental health indices.
What Are the Kids Doing? Exploring Young Children’s Activities at Home and Relations with Externally Cued Executive Function and Child Temperament
Authors: Doebel Sabine , Stucke Nicole , Stoet Gijsbert
Published: May 2021

Young children spend a lot of time at home, yet there is little empirical research on how they spend that time and how it relates to developmental outcomes. Prior research suggests less-structured time – where children practice making choices and setting goals – may develop self-directed executive function in 6-year-olds. But less-structured time may be related to executive function for other reasons—for example, because less-structured time provides opportunities to acquire conceptual knowledge relevant to using executive function on tasks. We thus tested the possibility that less-structured time is also related to younger children’s externally cued executive function. In this remote online study, caregivers of 93 3- to 5-year-olds indicated the amount of time their child was typically spending in various activities while at home during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Activities were categorized as structured (primarily lessons with specific goals defined by adults or an app), less-structured (wide range of activities permitting choice and interaction with caregiver), passive (e.g., watching TV or videos), and primarily physical (e.g., bike riding). Children’s externally cued executive function was assessed via the Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS). Time and variety in less-structured activities was related to successful switching on the DCCS, controlling for age, family income, caregiver education, and verbal knowledge. Caregivers were more involved in less-structured versus structured activities. Caregiver ratings of children’s temperament were related to how children’s time was spent. These findings suggest several new avenues for studying young children’s activities at home and their relations with developmental outcomes.
Infinite use of finite means? Evaluating the generalization of center embedding learned from an artificial grammar
Authors: McCoy R. Thomas , Culbertson Jennifer , Smolensky Paul , Legendre Géraldine
Published: May 2021

Human language is often assumed to make "infinite use of finite means" - that is, to generate an infinite number of possible utterances from a finite number of building blocks. From an acquisition perspective, this assumed property of language is interesting because learners must acquire their languages from a finite number of examples. To acquire an infinite language, learners must therefore generalize beyond the finite bounds of the linguistic data they have observed. In this work, we use an artificial language learning experiment to investigate whether people generalize in this way. We train participants on sequences from a simple grammar featuring center embedding, where the training sequences have at most two levels of embedding, and then evaluate whether participants accept sequences of a greater depth of embedding. We find that, when participants learn the pattern for sequences of the sizes they have observed, they also extrapolate it to sequences with a greater depth of embedding. These results support the hypothesis that the learning biases of humans favor languages with an infinite generative capacity.
The interplay between covariation, temporal, and mechanism information in singular causation judgments
Authors: Stephan Simon , Waldmann Michael R.
Published: May 2021

Most psychological studies on causal cognition have focused on how people make predictions from causes to effects or how they assess causal strength for general causal relationships (e.g., “smoking causes cancer”). In the past years, there has been a surge of interest in other types of causal judgments, such as diagnostic inferences or causal selection. Our focus here is on how people assess singular causation relations between cause and effect events that occurred at a particular spatiotemporal location (e.g., “Mary’s having taking this pill caused her sickness.”). The analysis of singular causation has received much attention in philosophy, but relatively few psychological studies have investigated how lay people assess these relations. Based on the power PC model of causal attribution proposed by Cheng and Novick (2005), we have developed and tested a new computational model of singular causation judgments integrating covariation, temporal, and mechanism information. We provide an overview of this research and outline important questions for future research.
A cybernetic perspective on the nature of psychopathology: Transcending conceptions of mental illness as statistical deviance and brain disease
Authors: DeYoung Colin G. , Krueger Robert
Published: May 2021

Explicitly or implicitly, psychopathology is often defined in terms of statistical deviance, requiring that an affected individual is sufficiently distant from the norm in some dimension of psychological or neural function. In recent decades, the dominant paradigm in psychiatric research has focused primarily on deviance in neural function, treating psychopathology as disease of the brain. We argue that these conceptualizations are misguided. We recently proposed a novel theory of psychopathology, based in cybernetics and drawing additionally from neuroscience, psychometrics, and personality theory (DeYoung & Krueger, 2018a). In this theory, deviations from the norm in psychological and neural functioning serve as important risk factors for psychopathology but are not in themselves necessary or sufficient to identify psychopathology, which requires the presence of cybernetic dysfunction. Psychopathology is defined as persistent failure to move toward one’s goals, due to failure to generate effective new goals, interpretations, or strategies when existing ones prove unsuccessful. We argue that adopting a cybernetic theory to replace conceptualizations of psychopathology as statistical deviance or brain disease would facilitate improvements in measurement, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of psychopathology.
All Cops are Trusted? How Context and Time Shape Immigrants' Trust in the Police in Europe
Authors: Czymara Christian S. , Mitchell Jeffrey
Published: May 2021

The relationship between police and ethnic minorities has been the subject of increasing interest in many Western societies in recent years. We examine first-generation immigrants’ trust in the police in Europe from a comparative and longitudinal perspective. Based on roughly 20,000 immigrants observed in 22 countries over 13 years in the European Social Survey, results show that initially high levels of trust in the police among immigrants tend to erode with the length of their stay in the host country. We show that two simultaneous processes drive this pattern: a fading reference effect (downward assimilation) and an increasing discrimination effect. Cross-national comparisons show that, on average, immigrants in countries with more police trust the police less. However, there is no effect of police size within countries, mostly because police numbers hardly change over time. We discuss implications for future research and policy development based on our findings.
Linguistic Human Rights in Tibet: Advocacy and Denial
Authors: Roche Gerald
Published: May 2021

In this article, I describe and analyse how my efforts to advocate for linguistic human rights (LHRs) as an engaged scholar have met with resistance in the form of denial from a variety of sources. By denial, I follow scholars such as Cohen (2001) in referring to not only the refusal to acknowledge certain facts, but also to follow through with appropriate interpretations and implications of those facts. This case study of denial and advocacy is important because it demonstrates a significant and unacknowledged challenge that exists in working for linguistic human rights. My discussion builds on and extends prior work on the challenges faced by advocating for linguistic human rights within academia (May, 2005, 2011; Skutnabb-Kangas, 2000; Skutnabb-Kangas & May, 2016). My exploration of denial aims to open up a space for discussing how this challenge may be addressed, and therefore how to more effective advocate for LHRs.

The legal assessment of misappropriation of property belonging to community property by one of the spouses constitutes a heavily contested issue in criminal law. The article analyzes a well-established opinion, according to which such property can be the object of the crime of misappropriation, and which cites the rules of the civil law. The article focuses on the issue of the possibility of assuming in such cases an attack on property, i.e. a violation of the object of the offence, discussed from the perspective of family law, which allows spouses to dispose of such property without the permission of the other spouse, on the basis of the rule of independent property management. Moreover, the author verifies the prerequisite for the seizure of third-party property, given that the property in question belongs also to the defendant, in accordance with the rules of community property. In addition to that, the author discusses the issue of meeting the prerequisites for the subjective aspect and the rule for evaluating the damage inflicted by the offence. The latter issue has been identified as particularly controversial, given that determining the scope of the possible restitution claims according to the value of property which constitutes the object of the offence in a situation where the property belongs also to the defendant is contrary to the intuition of criminal law scholars.
Blizna po solidarności. Polski ruch antyłowiecki w świetle tradycji XIX‑wiecznej ekologii i praktyki nieposłuszeństwa obywatelskiego

Spór pomiędzy zwolennikami myślistwa oraz jego przeciwnikami z jesieni 2019 i zimy 2020 roku dotyczył zarządzania dobrami publicznymi. Jego rozwój przybrał kształt swego rodzaju manewrów wojennych, które wraz z kumulowaniem się kolejnych zakazów mogły przekształcić się w replikę wojny domowej. Przeszkodził temu rozwój pandemii. Tym samym ruch antyłowiecki, zdobywający sobie coraz większą popularność wśród ludzi, dla których leśne spacery stały się pierwszym w życiu doświadczeniem aktywizmu, praktycznie przestał istnieć. Czy był zatem obcym implantem, jak sugerowały głosy mu przeciwne? Autorka tego eseju zakłada, że ruch antymyśliwski był projektem zarówno altruistycznym, jak i edukacyjnym, który za podstawę postawił sobie solidarność i empatię oraz gotowość do poświęceń na rzecz innych, w tym wypadku – leśnych zwierząt, do których strzela się metonimicznie, w zastępstwie obywateli praktykujących nieposłuszeństwo obywatelskie, z którymi wciąż nie wypada prowadzić otwartej wojny.

This article conducts theoretical analysis, studies on the specificities of the sociometric status in adolescents. The concept of sociometric status is determined, the main factors that influence the formation and development of one or another status are revealed. At the same time, the relationship between sociometric status and indicators such as individual-psychological characteristics, socio-cognitive features, mental abilities, the motivation of educational activities, behavioral characteristics, physical training indicators, etc.
MANEJO DE LA EXTRACCIÓN DENTAL EN PACIENTES SOMETIDOS A TERAPIA ANTICOAGULANTE: UNA REVISIÓN DE LA LITERATURA
Authors: Yamunaque Vire Jessica Micaela
Published: May 2021

En los últimos años la extracción de piezas dentales en pacientes que consumen anticoagulantes ha aumentado, y con ello también la necesidad de nuevos estudios que nos permitan conocer cómo abordar dichos casos. La terapia anticoagulante oral se utiliza para prevenir enfermedades de tipo tromboembólico. Entre los anticoagulantes tenemos los Antagonistas de la vitamina K y los Anticoagulantes directos orales. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el tipo de manejo que necesita un paciente anticoagulado, además de las limitaciones, indicaciones y medidas hemostáticas para la extracción dental en estos pacientes. Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases digitales de Pubmed, Science Direct, Cochrane y SciELO, obteniendo un total de 2176 artículos que luego de la implementación de criterios de inclusión y exclusión dio como resultado 59 artículos para esta revisión bibliográfica. El manejo en estos pacientes debe realizarse con suma cautela tomando en cuenta su estado sistémico, se realizará la extracción de manera segura sin suspensión ni modificación del medicamento, cuando se ha planificado la intervención quirúrgica con una técnica atraumática de una a tres piezas y el INR es ≤3.5. Es fundamental para el odontólogo tener el conocimiento actualizado del trato a pacientes anticoagulados y sus complicaciones hemorrágicas.

Mercury (Hg2+) is remarked as toxic and hazardous element to global environment. Here, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized by simple microwave assisted technique for Hg2+ detection in water samples via. fluorescence quenching and FT-IR spectroscopic approach. The morphology and chemical structure of synthesized CQDs was investigated by TEM, FT-IR, 13C-NMR, fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopic technique. The resultant CQDs bears spherical morphology with an average size of 2–4 nm. The binding parameters, as Stern-Volmer quenching constant ( Ksv) and binding constant for CQDs-Hg system was investigated by fluorescence method, whereas UV-vis techniques was employed for determination of thermodynamic parameters, as Gibb’s free energy ( ΔG), enthalpy ( ΔH) and entropy ( ΔS) at three different temperature (295, 298 and 305 K). Moreover, selectivity assay for Hg2+ detection has been studied in presence of other metal ions by FT-IR as well as fluorescence spectroscopy. Analytical assay was also successfully applied for Hg2+ in spiked water samples collected from different areas of Chhattisgarh, with 98–99 recovery %. The detection of Hg2+ has been demonstrated in the range of 0 to 5.0 μM with 3.25 nM detection limit. The present method is found to be simple, highly sensitive and selective for sensing of Hg2+ in aquatic environmental samples using CQDs as sensing probe.
Roman law in the national accounting perspective: Usus, fructus and abusus

Published: May 2021

Application of accounting discipline to the organization of economic data aids in both collection and interpretation of economic and jurisprudential knowledge, for it highlights gaps in the basic statistics and clarifies interrelations among the parts of the structure. The legal systems of nearly all countries are generally modeled upon four legal systems: Mesopotamian law, Roman law, Islamic law and Anglo-Norman law. The first half of the paper compares the four legal systems in detail. The foundation of any accounting system, including national accounting, is a balance sheet that lists assets and liabilities; assets include both property rights and claims while liabilities are legal responsibilities and obligations. Therefore, special attention is given to the Roman law of things, which has furnished the foundations of much of the modern law of property and obligations in civil law systems. Usus, fructus and abusus have been recognized as pillars of private property since the antiquity. Although the concepts are intrinsic to property rights, they are useful tools to delineate the characteristics of claims and obligations. Some accounting examples are given at the end of the paper.

Perinatal loss causes psychopathological problems in some women; during grief, psychological resources, such as coping styles are activated to elaborate the loss. The objective of the study was to know the relationship between the type of coping and the intensity of bereavement, as well as to know the coping styles that were reliable predictors for the intensity of perinatal bereavement. A cross-sectional study was conducted, ex post facto with 100 Mexican women who suffered a perinatal loss; the perinatal grief scale translated into Spanish and the scale of coping styles of Lazarus and Folkman were applied. The results show the gestational age, the time elapsed since the loss, the styles of confrontational coping, escape-avoidance and problem solving as good predictors of the intensity of perinatal bereavement. It is concluded that the coping styles impact on the intensity of the grief and it is important focus psychological intervention on it.
