One of the problems of developing a Stirling engine design methodology for use in the timber industry is discussed. The methodology of the first stage of modeling the engine’s work process for substantiating optimal design parameters is developed and justified: modeling the reverse working cycle. To implement this stage, a simulation of convective heat transfer from the working fluid to the inner walls of the engine cylinders and from the outer walls of the cylinders to the ambient air was performed. It made possible to determine the reduced convective heat transfer coefficients for further use in modeling the reverse cycle: from 0 to 7.2 W / (m2°C) for the displacer cylinder and from 0 to 68 W / (m2°C) for the piston cylinder. At the same time, the reduction error in comparison with the results of numerical experiments does not exceed 1% in the temperature range under consideration. Keywords: timber industry complex, Stirling engine, design methodology, reduced convective heat transfer coefficient.

Published: April 2022

This longitudinal study assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 62; Mage = 13 years) by measuring emotional and behavioral problems before and during the pandemic, and by comparing this change to a matched sample of children without ASD (n = 213; Mage = 16 years). Moreover, we examined whether indicators of parental well-being promoted resilience of children with ASD. Results showed that the mean change in problems did not differ between children with and without ASD. Importantly, some children showed an increase in problems, while others showed resilience. Parental well-being indicators were not related to resilience among children with ASD. The interindividual variability in responses, particularly among children with ASD, highlights the need for personalized support.

World is facing COVID 19 from the past two years. Previously, we thought that it was a pulmonary infection. But, gradually we have seen the extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID 19. Many literatures got published on this. Most discussed topic is Cardiovascular manifestation of COVID 19. Several literatures got published on myocarditis and vascular thrombosis. So, we are coining a completely new terminology in English, that is Covmayo. We are pleased to include this word in the medical literature. Covmayo came from two words, COVID 19 and Myocardial tissue [Heart Tissue].
Bibliometrics of Systematic Reviews in Japan From the 2015 publication of Ichushi-web data.
Authors: makishi mari
Published: April 2022

Object: In a systematic review (SR), a systematic search of articles related to a specific clinical question is conducted in an explicit and reproducible manner, and the identified articles are critically reviewed and the results are integrated. The steps in preparing a SR can be broadly categorized as follows: clarifying the clinical question, determining the criteria for selecting papers, and the SR procedure consists of five major steps: clarification of the clinical question, determination of selection criteria, systematic search of relevant articles, critical review of the selected articles, and synthesis of the results. This study aims to explore the characteristics of SR produced in Japan, focusing on literature search in SR.Methods: I searched for research papers published in 2015 that conducted SR in Ichushi-web. Of the 250 search results (retrieved on June 15, 2017), research papers that had contracts or were available through OA or other means were extracted and examined. Result & Conclusion: Most of the research articles were selected on the basis of the criteria described in the articles, but some articles were selected on the basis of the criteria not described in the articles.The average number of databases used was 2.8. Some articles did not mention any databases or did not conduct a literature search.Although guidelines and evaluation tools for SR such as PRISMA exist, less than half of the SRs were conducted in accordance with these methods.To ensure the appropriateness of the SR performed, it is recommended that SR be performed in accordance with an appropriate protocol, and that the protocols followed be described and registered in a protocol registry.
The embodiment of number knowledge in sensorimotor experience: The facts behind the questions and the questions before us
Authors: Lepoittevin Samuel , Andres Michael
Published: April 2022

Embodied cognition theories have generated considerable interest in the last two decades because they claim to have solved the problem of concept representation in the human brain. The idea is that concepts are constituted by information that is represented in the sensorimotor system. Finger counting offers a unique paradigm to test this idea because it associates abstract numerical symbols with a physical counterpart which is useful for learning to count, which retains conceptual properties such as ordinality or cardinality, and which can be evoked through subtle – possibly covert – movements. We brought together data from developmental, neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies and confronted them to the idea that finger counting may lead to embodied numerical representations. Our review shows that, while evidence for number and finger interactions has accumulated, inferences are limited due to the paucity of studies contrasting competing hypotheses. To foster theoretical progress, we propose an original framework articulated around the questions of the necessity and sustainability of embodied representations. We draw four hypotheses that differ according to whether finger counting is viewed as ancillary or necessary to the development of efficient numerical skills and whether it serves numerical acquisition only or sustains numerical cognition over the lifespan through the re-enactment of sensorimotor experience. To discriminate between these hypotheses, we argue that future research should turn to causal evidence. Among the new directions, we explore the opportunities offered by the study of congenital sensorimotor disorders or the possibility to disrupt the body schema by inducing sensorimotor conflict.
Threat networks: Patterns of interconnections between psychological threats and their associations with sociodemographics and political behaviors

Published: April 2022

Threats are omnipresent in daily life and are robustly linked to important social phenomena like intergroup violence and social attitudes. While perceptions of single threats are well-studied, much less is known about the patterns of interrelations between multiple perceived threats, what we call threat networks. We conducted correlational class analyses on three waves of the European Social Survey to identify groups of people who share the same threat network (i.e., similarities in the relational structure between multiple threats). Our findings reveal four different threat networks which are characterized by different constraints. One group organizes threats by differentiating personal from collective threats to society, a second group differentiates abstract from concrete threats, a third group differentiates between threats to the societal and personal status quo, and the fourth group showed similar strength of connections between all perceived threats. Our results further show that individuals with similar sociodemographic characteristics, especially those with similar levels of education, are likely to have similar interconnections between multiple threats. Furthermore, the way people structure threats predicts political participation above sociodemographic characteristics. Our research highlights that individual differences in interconnections between threats are crucial for understanding and explaining reactions to perceived threats.
Acyclic Behavior Change Diagrams: A Tool to Report and Analyze Interventions
Authors: Metz Gido , Peters Gjalt - Jorn Ygram , Crutzen Rik
Published: April 2022

Despite their vital role in enhancing human health and well-being, concerns have been raised about suboptimal reporting of behavior change interventions, making analysis, replication, and re-use of interventions hard or even impossible. This paper introduces acyclic behavior change diagrams (ABCDs) to achieve more transparent development, evaluation, and reporting of behavior change interventions. ABCDs are a visual representation of the assumptions regarding causal-structural chains that underlie putative active ingredients of behavior change interventions. These causal-structural chains link the behavior change principles that are applied in an intervention to the (determinants of) behavior targeted in that intervention. This paper specifies four advantages of using ABCDs: they are helpful in making implicit assumptions explicit, they help communicate assumptions with team members and other stakeholders, they make evaluation easier, and they are machine-readable, allowing for direct import of ABCDs into a (systematic review) database with negligible costs but full accuracy and completeness.
Characteristics of Episodic Future Thinking in Anxiety: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Du Jessica Yu , Hallford David John , Grant Janie Busby
Published: April 2022

Deficits in episodic future thinking (EFT) characteristics such as detail/vividness, specificity and the use of mental imagery are associated with psychopathology. However, whether these characteristics are associated with anxiety is not well understood. This article reports a systematic review and meta-analysis of research examining associations between anxiety and these EFT characteristics. Peer-reviewed studies that are published in the English language and contain at least one measure of anxiety and one measure of EFT characteristics were screened for inclusion in APAPsychINFO, CINAHL Plus and MEDLINE. Twenty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Results indicated that anxiety was not significantly correlated with detail/vividness overall. However, this was qualified by a moderating effect of cue valence. This finding is consistent with the Attentional Control and Contrast Avoidance Theories of anxiety, whereby higher anxiety is related to high detail/vividness in future thinking in the context of negative emotional-valence, and conversely lower detail/vividness for positively-valenced cues. Anxiety was not significantly associated with specificity or the use of mental imagery. While heterogeneity and the low number of studies examining particular associations limited the findings, the results provide insight into the current state of the field and have both theoretical and clinical implications.
Looking at faces in the wild
Authors: de Lima Varela Victor Perrone , Towler Alice , Kemp Richard , White David
Published: April 2022

Faces are key to everyday social interactions, but our understanding of social attention is based on experiments that present images of faces on computer screens. Advances in wearable eye-tracking devices now enable studies in unconstrained natural settings but this approach has been limited by manual coding of fixations. Here we introduce an automatic ‘dynamic region of interest’ (dROI) approach that registers eye-fixations to bodies and faces seen while a participant moves through the environment. We show that just 14% of fixations are to faces of passersby, contrasting with prior screen-based studies that suggest faces automatically capture visual attention. We also demonstrate the potential for this new tool to help understand differences in individuals’ social attention, and the content of their perceptual exposure to other people. Together, this can form the basis of a new paradigm for studying social attention ‘in the wild’ that opens new avenues for theoretical, applied and clinical research.
Machine Impostors Avoid Human Detection by Interrupting the Formation of Stable Conventions: A Minimal Turing Test
Authors: Müller Thomas Franz , Brinkmann Levin , Winters James , Pescetelli Niccolo
Published: April 2022

Humans are increasingly interacting with algorithms, and these algorithms do not necessarily disclose their identity. The classic approach to humans’ ability to recognize bot impostors, known as the “Turing test”, is focused on natural language. In the current study, we avoid natural language in a minimal Turing test setup, opening up space to study the foundations of human communication. In particular, we are interested in the roles of emerging conventions and reciprocal interaction for successful communication. Our experiment asked participants to distinguish between a human partner and a bot impostor in online interactions relying only on virtual movements in a 2D space. The main hypothesis was that access to the interaction history of a pair would make a bot impostor more deceptive because it can interrupt the formation of novel conventions between the human participants. By comparing bots that imitate behavior from the same or a different dyad, we find that impostors are more deceptive when they copy the participants’ own partners and that this leads to less conventional interactions. We also show that reciprocity is beneficial for success when the bot impostor prevents conventionality. We conclude that machine impostors can impede their detection and the formation of stable conventions by imitating past interactions, and that both reciprocity and conventionality are adaptive strategies under the right circumstances. Our results provide new insights into the emergence of communication and imply an increased risk through bot impostors online when they can access personal information, e.g. on social media.
The Prevalence and Correlates of Prospective Vaccine Hesitancy Among Individuals who Received COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters.
Authors: Motta Matt
Published: April 2022

Objectives. Supplemental “booster” vaccines may prove vital in combating future, variant waves of COVID-19. Given relatively low levels of booster vaccine uptake, Americans’ willingness to receive a second booster shot are unclear. Consequently, I offer new insights into the (a) prevalence and (b) socio-political correlates of “boosted” Americans’ reluctance to receive an additional booster shot.Methods. In a demographically representative survey of N = 3,950 US adults, respondents reported their COVID-19 vaccination status, intentions to receive an additional booster, and reasons for potentially-foregoing vaccination. I provide both descriptive and multivariate analyses that assess both “boosted” Americans’ vaccination intentions, and their reasons for potentially-foregoing vaccination.Findings. While 49% [95% CI: 47, 51] of Americans report having received an initial booster shot, just 34% [33, 36] report that they would be “very likely” to do so again. In multivariate models, concerns about missing work to vaccinate (-10%; B = 0.53, p =0.05) and being unconvinced that additional boosters will be necessary (-47%; B = 2.24, p < 0.01) are significantly associated with being very likely to receive a second COVID-19 booster shot.Conclusions. Even among vaccine-accepting sub-populations, fears about side effects and seeing future vaccination as unnecessary motivate substantial vaccine hesitancy regarding additional booster vaccines. These findings can help public health practitioners better-preempt vaccine demand when responding to variant waves of COVID-19, and broaden our understanding of why even those who have positive views toward vaccination might, under some circumstances, opt to not do so.
Evolution of Modern Literature and Film
Authors: Sobchuk Oleg
Published: April 2022

The evolution of complex narratives, such as fictional books or films, is a fairly new area of cultural-evolutionary research. This chapter, first, discusses a theoretical question: in what sense do narratives evolve? Then, it proceeds to describing how content-based, or hedonic, selection influences the evolution of narrative forms – and briefly, the role of several other evolutionary mechanisms, such as drift and accumulation of innovations. Finally, the chapter presents the methods used for studying the evolution of literature and film at a large scale: from manual coding to various computational techniques.
DEVELOPMENT STUDIES: FROM MANUFACTURING CONSENT TO SELF-DETERMINATION
Authors: van Dijk Tara
Published: April 2022

The truth of development studies’ identity and purpose within liberal capitalism can be reached by inquiring into how the field determines worthy, tolerable, and unworthy notions and approaches to development. I offer an expanded version of Herman and Chomsky’s propaganda model to bring out both the political economy and cultural economy of this process. The delineation of this model shows that it is untenable to deny that the field is both epistemically and economically tethered to the liberal capitalist development industry. I close by offering a path towards a self-determined development studies.

The Malevolently Benevolent Medici: The Corruption of the Renaissance’s Favorite Family
Authors: Ormiston Cameron Kohji
Published: April 2022

In assessing Renaissance history, one almost invariably makes a mention of the alleged achievements and contributions of the Medici family made to artists, both visual and literary, through patronage and financial support. These accounts fail to consider, however, the Medici's power plays, tyrannical methods of acquiring funds and artists, and the perpetuation of inherently anti-Renaissance ideals. This paper therefore refutes the notion of the Medici family as a generous and honorable organization, dedicated and attributed with the cultural flourish of the Renaissance, therefore presenting an opposing and critical view of the Medici through exposing the hostile and corrupt environment the Medici fostered throughout their rule. This paper reviews Renaissance history through a different lens, observing the implications of the Medici’s enormous wealth and patronage of the arts.
Exploring the time geography of public transport networks with the gtfs2gps package
Authors: Pereira Rafael H. M. , Andrade Pedro R. , Bazzo Vieira João Pedro
Published: April 2022

The creation of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) in the mid-2000s provided a new data format for cities to organize and share digital information on their public transport systems. GTFS feeds store geolocated data on public transport networks, including information on routes, stops, timetables, and service levels. The GTFS standard is now widely adopted by thousands of transport authorities and a wide variety of software applications for different purposes, including trip planning, timetable creation and accessibility analysis. Yet, there is still a lack of tools to parse GTFS data when the objective is to analyze the complex spatial and temporal patterns of public transport systems. This paper presents {gtfs2gps}, a new general-purpose computational tool to easily process static GTFS data that allows one to analyze the space-time trajectories of public transport vehicles at fine spatial and temporal resolutions. {gtfs2gps} is an open-source R package that employs parallel computing to convert GTFS feeds from relational text files into a trajectory data table, similar to GPS records, with the timestamps of vehicles in every trip. This paper explains the package functionalities and demonstrates how {gtfs2gps} can be used to articulate key concepts in time-geography to explore and visualize the spatial and temporal patterns of public transport networks. We also present a case study looking at how {gtfs2gps} can be used to examine socioeconomic and spatial-temporal inequalities in access to public transport, providing key information to monitor cities’ progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. The paper is accompanied by a computational notebook in R Markdown to support reproducibility of the results in this paper, and to replicate the analysis for other contexts where GTFS data are available. Given the widespread use of GTFS, {gtfs2gps} opens new possibilities for researchers to examine the time-geography of public transport systems in urban areas across the globe.

Factual Divergence and Risk Perceptions
Authors: Kosovac Anna
Published: April 2022

The communication of information (‘facts’) by experts to the general public becomes challenging if there is an absence of trust in experts, and in the institutions they represent. There has been a perceived sense of a decline of public trust in expertise and science, an issue of concern highlighted by political leaders such as MP Michael Gove and Former US President Donald Trump. This paper presents a synthesis of differing fields of study to reflect upon the dynamic between expertise, risk and public response in democratic practice. It incorporates studies and theories from the fields of psychology, risk analysis, communication, epistemology and political studies to answer questions such as: what evidence is there that public antipathy toward experts exists? Is a war being waged between laypeople and experts, and what does this mean for public policy? How can risk perception research effectively contribute to the debate on trust in expertise?
The role of heuristics and psychology in decision-making is explored (as well as a brief sojourn into the sociology of risk) with regard to how risk perceptions are formed, and the role that experts play in this dynamic. In this article, I argue that the reports of a decline in trust in expertise are not based in evidence; in fact, experts and scientists are generally trusted by the public at large. However, this trust cannot be taken for granted as it continues to represent an increasingly critical element in communicating risk and upholding democratic principles in governance.
Land Injection Vs Land Conversion: Seeking the Solution to the Discontinuity of Agricultural Land Provision
Authors: Pujiriyani Dwi Wulan , Soetarto Endriatmo
Published: April 2022

Land conversion takes place more rapidly than the addition of new land. This paper attempts to investigate these two events by offering a more sensible solution to answer the need for land provision which over time continues to clash with various interests in land. The best solution to land provision is to give recognition to the ‘living space and the farming profession' by stating that the agricultural profession is the noblest profession, the most realistic profession, and constitutionally justified. They are a group of people whose profession is on going, or continuing, and it only requires political commitment as well as recognition of their living space and their profession that farmers and farming are a profession as well as a right to life. Local initiatives such as those emerging in the Kasepuhan community, the Subak tradition in Bali, and the determination of Sedulur Sikep community with their farming traditions should have earned their right not to be ‘disturbed’ but to be let live and get recognition and protection. Protecting these existing and sustainable forms of local farming initiatives is a real manifestation of the solution to the deadlock of the search for new agricultural land that faces various obstacles. Recognition should not only be given to indigenous groups as it has been done, but also to food farmer communities that have independently developed their agriculture in a sustainable manner.

Cohort Size and Youth Earnings: Evidence from Ontario
Authors: Zhang Xian
Published: April 2022

This article studies a policy change in Ontario that reduced the duration of high school from five to four years. A result of this educational reform was the creation of the Ontario double cohort: the last cohort educated in the old secondary school system and the first cohort educated in the new one. Although they started school at different times, both cohorts graduated from high school in 2003. Four years later, Ontario experienced a 28 percent increase in new university graduates. By comparing the pre- and post-reform wage gap between new entrants and seasoned workers with a bachelor’s degree in Ontario versus that in the rest of Canada, I identify the impact of an excess labour supply shock on earnings. A triple-difference estimation using Canadian Labour Force Survey data suggests that the labour supply shock decreased the hourly wage rate by 7.6 percent among recent university graduates, which corroborates the result obtained using Canadian Census data. I also find that the labour supply shock decreases the proportion of university graduates taking a full-time job in the first year of their career. Moreover, I observe an increase in the proportion of recent university graduates working in small firms and landing in a low-paid occupation and industry. Last, I find that the depressing effect on wages is long-lasting. The negative impact on the wage rate persists for at least ten years after graduating from university.
Local Determinants of Municipal Public Finance: The Case of Quebec in 2018
Authors: Carbonnier Clément
Published: April 2022

This article studies the case of local governments in the province of Quebec to understand the determinants of local public finance. First, the overall relationship (U shaped) between the size of jurisdictions and local public expenditure per capita is broken down by type of expenditure with different profiles. Moreover, the determinants of overall resources as well as types of resources (e.g., property tax, fees, grants) and expenditure (e.g., security, transportation) are explored: precise and exhaustive databases at the municipality level allow testing of the impact of size, inter-municipal collaboration, tax potential, and economic activity, as well as social and material characteristics of the citizens.
Of Mutts and Mann: The Mischling Theme in Herr und Hund
Authors: Kontje Todd
Published: April 2022

This article focuses on Thomas Mann’s autobiographical essay about his dog in the light of his early fiction and wartime journalism. Herr und Hund represents not only an idyllic retreat from troubled times but also an ongoing engagement with themes central to Mann’s creative prose and cultural politics, including distinctions between human reason and animal passions, alleged racial differences among humans, and relations between nature and civilization. Issues currently cordoned off into the discrete categories of animal, environmental, and critical race studies inform one another in Mann’s multi-faceted essay. Herr und Hund marks both an end to the reflections that preoccupied Mann during the war and their continuation by other means, revisiting themes that inspire his earliest prose and will continue to inform his political thought and creative practice for years to come.
The level of development of dexterity in applicants for higher education of the I–IV courses
Authors: Bakanova O.
Published: April 2022

The article highlights the role of the agility in human life, reveals the essence and the features of development of this physical quality. The indicators of the dexterity development in applicants for higher education of the I–IV courses of the university, which were determined by the results of the «shuttle» run 4×9 m, are considered. A comparative analysis of the indicators of the studied physical quality in boys and girls depending on age and sex is given.

The study was conducted in September 2021 on the basis of the National Aerospace University «Kharkiv Aviation Institute». It was attended by 468 applicants for higher education of the I-IV courses, who are 17–20 years old. In the І course studied applicants for higher education, who were 17 years old, in the IІ course – 18 years old, in the IIІ course – 19 years old and in the ІV course – 20 years old. The applicants for higher education voluntarily participated in the study, about the specifics of which they were informed. To achieve the goal of the study, the following methods were used: theoretical analysis and generalization of the scientific and the methodological literature, the pedagogical testing and methods of the mathematical statistics. It was found that the best results of the «shuttle» run 4×9 m were recorded in boys and girls of the first year, who are 17 years old. A comparison of the dexterity indicators in applicants for higher education I-IV courses of the university on the basis of gender showed that they are better in boys than in girls. The age dynamics of the indicators in this contingent with age is increases, which indicates the deterioration of the studied results. It has been established that applicants for higher education of the I–IV courses have a low level of dexterity development.
