Key symptoms of anxiety include experiencing unpleasant emotions and hyperarousal. Growing evidence suggests the role of delayed affective recovery from stress (DAR) in their maintenance and development on a day-to-day basis. We aimed to investigate whether DAR is linked to current and future anxiety symptoms, independently of depressive symptoms. Self-reported anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed twice: at Wave 1 (N=1031) and approximately 2.5 years later at Wave 2 (N=171) in a community sample of adolescents. Additionally, at Wave 1, Experience Sampling Method (ESM) was used. Participants reported their momentary affect and stressful occurrences 10 times a day, for six days. Using ESM data and a subtraction method, we construed two variables, i.e., affective valence and arousal reflecting the (un)pleasantness and (hyper)arousal associated with emotions. The time interval for affective recovery was estimated using parametric survival analysis. Prospective associations were tested with multiple regression. Slower valence recovery was associated with higher concurrent anxiety symptoms (p<.05) and this association remained present when controlling for depressive symptoms (p<.05). The same association was present for the arousal recovery, however only when depressive symptoms were added to the model (p<.05). We found no prospective association between the speed of valence nor arousal recovery at Wave 1 and anxiety symptoms at Wave 2. Our results suggest that DAR may be a concomitant process contributing to the maintenance of key anxiety symptoms, but not to their development. Our findings help identify the moments in the daily lives of youth, where potential interventions could be implemented.
Research assessment using a narrow definition of “research quality” is an act of gatekeeping: A comment on Gärtner et al (2022)
Authors: Hostler Tom
Published: March 2023

Gärtner et al. (2022) propose a system for quantitatively scoring the methodological rigour of papers during the hiring and promotion of psychology researchers, with the aim of advantaging researchers who conduct open, reproducible work. However, the quality criteria proposed for assessing methodological rigour are drawn from a narrow post-positivist paradigm of quantitative, confirmatory research conducted from an epistemology of scientific realism. This means that research conducted from a variety of other approaches, including constructivist, qualitative research, becomes structurally disadvantaged under the new system. The implications of this for particular fields, demographics of researcher, and the future of the discipline of psychology are discussed.

Introduction. Childhood maltreatment (CM) has been associated with changes in structural brain connectivity even in the absence of mental illness. Social support, an important protective factor in the presence of childhood maltreatment, has been positively linked to white matter integrity. However, investigating the shared effects of current social support and CM and their association with structural connectivity remain to be investigated. They might shed new light on the neurobiological basis of the protective mechanism of social support.Methods. Using connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM), diffusion-weighted-imaging-derived structural connectomes of N=904 healthy adults (mean age: 34 years, 64.4% female) were analyzed. CPM predicts phenotypes from structural connectivity through a cross-validation scheme. Distinct and shared networks of white matter tracts predicting childhood trauma questionnaire scores and the social support questionnaire were identified. Additional analyses were applied to assess the stability of the results.Results. CM and social support were predicted significantly from structural connectome data (all rs>=.119, all ps≤.016). Edges predicting CM and social support were inversely correlated, i.e., positively correlated with CM and negatively with social support, and vice versa, with a focus on frontal and temporal regions including the insula and superior temporal lobe.Discussion. CPM reveals the predictive value of the structural connectome for CM and current social support. Both constructs are inversely associated with connectivity strength in several brain tracts. While this underlines the interconnectedness of these interpersonal experiences, it suggests social support acts as a protective factor following adverse childhood experiences, compensating for brain network alterations. Future longitudinal studies should focus on putative moderating mechanisms buffering these adverse experiences.
“Paranormal activities” in contemporary authoritarianism research in Germany
Authors: Goldstein Björn
Published: March 2023

Since the Covid-19 pandemic psychological authoritarianism research in Germany has focused on the new social movement against state measures to confine the spread of the virus. Empirical research from the protests shows that left-liberal, anti-authoritarian, non-conformist and esoteric attitudes dominated among the participants, next to a conspiracy believing right-wing minority. Authoritarianism research in Germany is still based in psychoanalysis, especially in its critical theory version. In order to make the authoritarian syndrome applicable to the protesters the concept of authoritarianism had been reformulated in two ways: (1) Sigmund Freud’s defense mechanism ‘projection’ had been given a dominant position in a single ‘superstition and conspiracy beliefs’ category (2) a new type of authoritarian had been invented, the ‘libertarian authoritarian’. Both approaches conclude that believers in the supernatural are a potential threat to democracy. These new trends expose a superficial understanding of its own critical theory tradition regarding religion and occultism, as well as an arbitrary revival of ‘superstition’ in authoritarianism research, and how the concept of ‘libertarian authoritarianism’ is turning Right-Wing-Authoritarianism upside-down. Labeling esotericists in general authoritarians bears the risk of making them turn to their right-wing conspiracy believing co-protesters by in- and out-grouping mechanisms. Conspiritualists are a living example of this possibility.
Excess after stress – A three-study validation of the Salzburg Stress Drinking Scale as a new tool to measure the stress-drinking relationship
Authors: Reichenberger Julia , van Alebeek Hannah , Messer Thomas , Blechert Jens
Published: March 2023

Stress frequently influences a person’s propensity to drink alcohol. Inter-individual differences in such stress-related drinking can be assessed through psychometric scales; however, available questionnaires conflate stress- with emotion-related reasons to drink and ignore evidence of decreased alcohol consumption in response to stress. Therefore, we developed a genuine stress –drinking scale (Salzburg Stress Drinking Scale; SSDS), adapted from the Salzburg Stress Eating Scale, and assessed its psychometric properties. In study 1 (n = 639), the SSDS was found to have a one-factor structure, excellent internal consistency, and acceptable test-retest reliability. SSDS scores were significantly correlated with other measures assessing emotional drinking, but uncorrelated with general alcohol pathology and other health-relevant consummatory behaviors such as stress-related eating or nicotine consumption. In addition, no significant sex differences arose. In study 2 (n = 42) patients with an alcohol use disorder or addiction scored significantly higher on the SSDS compared to healthy controls. In an Ecological Momentary Assessment study 3 (n = 67), the SSDS showed partial ecological validity through significant relationships with daily alcohol consumption, but not daily stress – drinking relationships. In sum, the SSDS represents a psychometrically sound tool for the measurement of stress-related drinking and complements a battery of stress-related changes in health-relevant behaviors.
The Long-term Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on U.S. Population Structure

Published: March 2023

The immediate, direct effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the United States population are immense. Millions of people were affected by the pandemic: many died, others did not give birth, and still others could not migrate. Research that has examined these individual phenomena is important, but fragmented. The disruption of mortality, fertility, and migration jointly affected U.S. population counts and, consequently, future population structure. We use data from the United Nations World Population Prospects and the cohort component projection method to isolate the effect of the pandemic on U.S. population estimates until 2060. If the pandemic had not occurred, the population of the U.S. would have 2.1 million (0.63%) more people in 2025, and 1.7 million (0.44%) more people in 2060. Perhaps most striking is that pandemic-induced migration changes will likely have a larger long-term effect on future population size than mortality, despite comparable short-term effects.

Published: March 2023

This study proposes a hybrid method to classify and estimate the location of short circuit disturbance on power transmission lines. The hybrid method uses Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The transmission system is implemented in a real system, in which the electric power transmission system on the KP bus to the GS bus is with a length of 64 Km. The DWT is used to process information from each phase voltage and current transient signal as well as the zero-sequence current for one cycle after the disturbance has started. The ANFIS classification is designed to detect disturbance on each phase and ground in determining the type of short circuit disturbance. ANFIS estimation is used to measure the location of disturbance that occur on the transmission line. The training and testing data are generated by simulating the types of short circuit disturbance using software with variations in disturbance location and fault resistance. The result is that the disturbance classification is with 100% accuracy and the estimated disturbance location is with the lowest error of 0.0006% and the highest error is 0.03%.

Authors:   Binh Dinh Provincial General Hospital, Nguyen Tan Vuong
Published: March 2023

Hands play such an essential role in our lives. Damage to any one of the mechanisms of the hand, such as the tendons, ligaments, or the joints between the bones, can severely hamper someone’s lifestyle and infringe on their career. Replantation is the reattachment of a severed body part, with attempts to restore neurovascular and musculoskeletal integrity, function, and aesthetics. On September 7, 1964, the first extremity replantation, a completely amputated hand by vascular anastomosis technique, was successfully performed [1]. Soon after, the first replantation of a complete thumb amputation using microvascular anastomosis in a human was successfully conducted by S.T. Komatsu, et al. (1968) [2]. The foundation of microsurgery gives the successful anastomosis of 1 mm - blood vessel and replantation of amputated extremity. In this article, the authors presented a case report of a 39-year-old male patient with a completely amputated left hand at the level of the wrist joint which was managed by replantation in Binh Dinh Provincial General Hospital to reattach his hand successfully with a good functional outcome.

Spatio-temporal variations of a meandering channel morphodynamics: A study along the Kaljani River in Bhuchungmari-Moamari Section of North Bengal Dooars, West Bengal (India)
Authors: Das Mantu , Saha Snehasish
Published: March 2023

Rivers being the most dynamic and natural engines receive the maximum outcome of process-form activities over space and time. Displacement and shifting of course of the alluvial channels over the lower gradients result into severe bed-bank scouring activities temporally. River Kaljani within the neo tectonically active zone of North Bengal plains is an example of temporal variations of high sinuosity and braiding over the softer lithology. The present work is focusing on a temporal study from 1970 to 2019. The SOI Topographical map of 1:50,000 scales has been the base layer along with temporal satellite imageries (1990, 2000, 2010 and 2019). The schematization has followed digitization, rectiﬁcation and overlaying of conformal layers extracted from the USGS website under UTM Projection system and WGS of 1984 datum for north 45 zones under GIS platform. Multi-temporal satellite data identified serious course changes of the selected reach of lower segment of Kaljani River. The rectified multi-spectral bands are used to make the NDWI for identification of the water content on earth surface followed by selective morphometric analysis e.g. sinuosity index, braided index and roundness of curvature  to access the spatio-temporal changes accomplishing some derivative mathematical equations. Descriptive statistics viz. mean, standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), skewness and kurtosis were used and explained maximum course oscillations. The authors tried to examine the fact for six temporal frames i.e. 1970, 1990, 2000, 2006, 2010 and 2019 and received high sinuosity of all categories. Conclusively the work claims to set a documentary approach to examine the morphodynamics of an alluvial channel of Sub-Himalayan foothills.

Rapid advances in sequencing and analytical technologies have increased our understanding of the interactions between the microbiome and the host. The microbiome plays a variety of physiological roles in the health of the host and pathological roles in disease; for example, the microbiome changes significantly when kidney health is compromised and during kidney-specific aging. At present, good diagnostic markers are absent for early renal injury. However, the composition of the microbiome could provide useful indications for disease diagnosis and treatment beyond more conventional diagnostic markers. Such indications are well represented in chronic kidney disease, immunoglobulin A nephropathy, idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, and diabetic nephropathy. With sensitivity, specificity, and stability, the microbiota can provide more possibilities for the diagnosis of the early recognition of asymptomatic renal injury and aging. Moreover, probiotics and microbial metabolites have shown beneficial effects in the treatment of kidney diseases. Therapeutic measures targeting the microbiota can effectively improve the immune response and inflammatory state of the body. This paper reviews the current evidence on how the microbiome is not only a potentially effective tool for clinical diagnosis but also an important focus for the study of kidney disease and aging.

Biological age from a pathological perspective
Authors:   Department of Comparative Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA., Ladiges Warren
Published: March 2023

Biological age has the potential of providing a glimpse of the health of older people, as it may be less or more than chronological age. Assessment of DNA methylation has been shown to correlate with increasing age, but the correlation with aging phenotypes is still being studied. Therefore, knowing how a person responds to aging on a pathological basis would be a logical and justifiable approach to gaining more insight into what biological age means. An age-related lesion grading system called geropathology has been developed for animal models that can be quantitatively correlated with chronological age to provide translational information for human studies. However, geropathology platforms are not yet appreciated as impactful areas of aging research so more research funding is needed to move this concept forward. Keywords: Biological age, geropathology, age-related lesion, chronological age

Sleep deprivation is known to cause memory impairment and is associated with inflammation and cell damage linked to neurodegenerative diseases. GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in mammalian plasma. GHK has anti-inflammatory activity and can pass through the blood-brain barrier suggesting the potential to prevent neuroinflammation associated with sleep deprivation. In this study, mice were injected with 15 mg/kg GHK per day for five days and sleep deprived on the last two days of treatment. Sleepdeprived mice treated with GHK did not show the acute learning impairment seen in sleep-deprived mice treated with saline. GHK prevented an increase in MCP-1 and nitrotyrosine levels in the hippocampus of sleepdeprived mice suggesting that inflammatory and reactive nitrogen/oxygen species activity could be therapeutic targets for learning impairment associated with short-term sleep deprivation. Keywords: GHK peptide, sleep deprivation, learning impairment, neuroinflammation, nitrotyrosine

Published: March 2023

Essa pesquisa ocorreu no Município de Erechim, em uma escola de Educação Infantil, e abrangeu turmas de Maternal I e Maternal II. Ambas as turmas eram compostas por doze crianças matriculadas. A coleta de dados ocorreu com sessões do brincar heurístico, sendo realizadas anotações escritas, além de fotos. Desse modo, o objetivo foi analisar as contribuições trazidas acerca do brincar heurístico com crianças bem pequenas. Para que esse brincar seja de qualidade, o professor deve organizar materiais não estruturados que garantam diferentes possibilidades de exploração, sem deixar de lado a observação atenta e cautelosa. Se desprovida da atenção necessária, o brincar heurístico fica defasado, correndo o risco de não ser percebida a sua real importância para as crianças. Dessa forma, perceberá que as crianças desenvolvem distintas criações, realizam investigações, levantam hipóteses e fazem diferentes descobertas. O brincar heurístico não apresenta fórmula sobre como deverá ser brincado. Sua intenção é fazer com que as crianças explorem do seu jeito, realizando as suas descobertas, sem intervenção do adulto. Desse modo, foi possível perceber e constatar a importância do brincar heurístico com crianças bem pequenas

Job satisfaction is influenced by many factors, including job characteristics, school climate, and leadership. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of job characteristics, leadership and school climate on job satisfaction of JSIT High School teachers in Medan City. The research population is teachers from SMA IT AL-Fityan, SMA Al-Amjad, and SMA Nurul Azmi, all totaling 122 people. The research sample was selected randomly or randomly. The number of samples was determined by the Slovin formula at a 95% confidence level, so that there were 94 teachers consisting of 29 male teachers and 65 female teachers. The instrument used is a questionnaire. Furthermore, reliability and validity tests were carried out. The data were analyzed using coefficient, correlation and regression analysis techniques. The results of the coefficient calculation show that there is a significant relationship, (1) the variable of the teacher's work characteristics X1Y = 3,300, (2) the variable of the principal's leadership X2Y = 2,92, (3) the variable of the school climate X3Y = 5,537 and (4) the work characteristics of the teacher, Principal leadership and school climate X1X2X3Y = 3.892 at the 5% confidence level. Looking at the strength of the relationship using the Spearman rank test, it was found that (1) the variable of teacher work characteristics X1Y = 0,542** is interpreted as having a strong and direct correlation, (2) the principal leadership variable X2Y = 0.678** is interpreted as a strong and direct correlation, (3) the variable school climate X3Y = 0.806** means a very strong and unidirectional correlation. The results of the regression calculation show that the contribution of teacher work characteristics to satisfaction is 38%, for principals' leadership 22.6% and for school climate 42.8%. The suggestion is that it is necessary to develop other variables that contribute to teacher job satisfaction.

This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity and the effect of the combination of methanol extract of the leaves of Chinese ketepeng (Cassia alata Linn.) with six selected plant extracts against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The method used is well diffusion and paper tape method. The concentration of the test extract was 100 mg/mL (1:1), DMSO 50% v/v was used as a negative control and the antibiotic clindamycin as a positive control. The results showed that most of the combinations of the methanol extract of the Chinese ketepeng leaf (C. alata) with the six selected plant extracts produced an average diameter of the inhibition zone, which was greater than the average diameter of the inhibition zone of every single extract. However, the average diameter of the combined inhibition zones was not more significant than the sum of the average diameters of the inhibition zones of every single extract. In conclusion, the combination of the methanol extract of the Chinese ketepeng leaf (C. alata) with six selected plant extracts had additive/indifferent effects in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus.
