Creativity and dishonesty replication
Authors: Galang Adrianne John R. , Henson-Morales Marie Rose
Published: October 2018

Gino and Wiltermuth (2014) found that cheating, either as actual behavior or activated through priming, seems to increase judged creativity of products in a typical divergent thinking task. This extends the earlier findings from Gino and Ariely (2012) which shows that creativity seems to prime dishonest behavior. Convincing as the evidence seems, it is a major concern that this research program has neglected to control for personality variables, especially given evidence that trait dishonesty seems to be correlated with creativity (e.g. Silvia et al. 2011). We propose to undertake a replication of Gino and Wiltermuth’s Experiment 2, with the crucial addition of a trait variable covariate (HEXACO Honesty/Humility). Results indicate that participants in the likely-to-cheat condition consequently had higher scores in the divergent thinking task. Trait Honesty-Humility was not related to the said score. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly co-occur. Adapted CBT for OCD in adults with ASD has not previously been evaluated outside the United Kingdom. In this study, 19 adults with OCD and ASD were treated using an adapted CBT protocol that consisted of 20 sessions focused on exposure with response prevention. The primary outcome was the clinician-rated Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (YBOCS). Participants were assessed up to 3 months after treatment. There were significant reductions on the YBOCS at post-treatment (d=1.5), and improvements were sustained at follow-up (d=1.2). Self-rated OCD symptoms and depressive symptoms showed statistically significant reductions. Improvements in general functioning and quality of life were statistically non-significant. Three participants (16%) were responders at post-treatment and four (21%) were in remission from OCD. At follow-up, three participants (16%) were responders and one (5%) was in full remission. Adapted CBT for OCD in adults with co-occurring ASD is associated with reductions in obsessive-compulsive symptoms and depressive symptoms. However, outcomes are modest; few patients were completely symptom free, and treatment engagement was low with few completed exposures and low adherence to homework assignments. We identify and discuss the need for further treatment refinement for this vulnerable group.
Научная инновация — между конфликтом и солидарностью
Authors: Shipovalova L. V. , Sivertsev E. Y.
Published: October 2018

The article problematizes the concept of scientific innovation. The authors focus their attention on an ambiguous understanding of the conditions for its emergence and its completion. They use two terms — conflict and solidarity — to define these conditions. In their extreme forms, behavior in conflict situations and solidarity practices oppose each other in two ways: there is contention and rejection of a different position, on the one hand, and “mechanical solidarity” (Durkheim), on the other. However, the intersection and even the coincidence of these practices are possible and actually realized, when described in terms of cooperation, on the one hand, and “organic solidarity” associated with the division of labor, on the other. The article aims, firstly, to describe the possibility of opposing conflict and solidarity in the processes of producing scientific innovation; secondly, to demonstrate the importance of intersecting and even combining these practices to produce and complete novelty in science. In their research, the authors address contemporary works from the fields of historiography and epistemology of science, revealing the concept of the Scientific Revolution, which refers to the emergence of a new science, as well as the concept of modernity, that defines the era in which scientific innovation sets the rhythm and the acceleration of social development. It is in the context of various interpretations of the concepts Scientific Revolution and modernity the concept of innovation is being clarified. The latter not only describes the event and the era of the emergence of modern European science, but also suggests possible contemporary scientific practices.

Published: October 2018

There are few approaches that attempt to add dynamicity to the structure of stream ciphers in order to improve their security level. SCDSP is a dynamic stream cipher that based on these approaches. It uses dynamic structure and parameters to increase the complexity of the cipher to improve its security level. The dynamic parameters are specified using bits from the secret key. In this paper, SCDSP is evaluated by conducting a performance and security analysis. Furthermore, a comparison between SCDSP and the seven winners of eSTREAM competition is performed. The results show that SCDSP is very promising for practical use.

Kinetics and Correlation Analysis of Reactivity in the Oxidation of Some α-Hydroxy Acids by Benzimidazolium Dichromate
Authors: Panday Dinesh , Kachawa Teena , Kothari Seema
Published: October 2018

Kinetic and mechanistic studies of the oxidation of mandelic acid and nine monosubstituted mandelic acids by benzimidazolium dichromate (BIDC) in dimethyl sulfoxide are discussed with an emphasis on correlation of structure and reactivity. The reactions were of first order with respect to BIDC. However, Michaelis-Menten type kinetics were observed with respect to hydroxy acids. The reactions are catalysed by protons. The deuterium isotope effect for the oxidation of mandelic acid ( kH/ kD = 5.91 at 298 K) indicated an α-C-H bond cleavage in the rate-determining step. An analysis of the solvent effect showed that the role of cationsolvation is major. The reaction showed an excellent correlation with the Hammett σ values, the reaction constant being negative. Based on the kinetic data, analysis of the solvent effect and results of structure-reactivity correlation along with some non-kinetic parameters, a mechanism involving rate-determining oxidative decomposition of the complex through hydride-ion transfer via a cyclic transition state to give the corresponding oxoacid is suggested.

Deep auto-encoder based clustering
Authors: Song Chunfeng , Huang Yongzhen , Liu Feng , Wang Zhenyu , Wang Liang
Published: October 2018

For unsupervised problems like clustering, linear or non-linear data transformations are widely used techniques. Generally, they are beneficial to data representation. However, if data have a complicated structure, these techniques would be unsatisfying for clustering. In this paper, we propose a new clustering method based on the deep auto-encoder network, which can learn a highly non-linear mapping function. Via simultaneously considering data reconstruction and compactness, our method can obtain stable and effective clustering. Experimental results on four databases demonstrate that the proposed model can achieve promising performance in terms of normalized mutual information, cluster purity and accuracy.
Combining hybrid rule ordering strategies based on netconf and a novel satisfaction mechanism for CAR-based classifiers
Authors: Hernández-León R. , Carrasco-Ochoa Jesús A. , Martínez-Trinidad José Fco. , Hernández-Palancar J.
Published: October 2018

In Associative Classification, building a classifier based on Class Association Rules (CARs) consists in finding an ordered CAR list by applying a rule ordering strategy, and selecting a satisfaction mechanism to determine the class of unseen transactions. In this paper, we introduce four novel hybrid rule ordering strategies; the first three combine the Netconf measure with different Support-Confidence based rule ordering strategies. The fourth strategy combines the Netconf measure with a rule ordering strategy based on the CAR's size. Additionally, we combine the proposed strategies with a novel “Dynamic K” satisfaction mechanism. Experiments over several datasets show that the proposed rule ordering strategies jointly with the “Dynamic K” satisfaction mechanism allow improving the performance of CAR-based classifiers.

Background: Determination of an individual's HCV genotypes prior to antiviral therapy has become increasingly important for the deciding clinical management and predicting prognosis of HCV infection. Relative genotype proportions are needed to inform to healthcare models, which should be geographically tailored. To our knowledge, there are no studies reporting genotype pattern in Rawalpindi/Islamabad region. We aimed to determine the frequency of different genotypes in HCV positive cases in the population of Rawalpindi/ Islamabad over the period of five years. Methods: Data of total of three thousand eight hundred and eighteen (n=3818) HCV positive adult of both genders were screened for genotype testing over the period of six years were analyzed. Results: Most frequent genotype identified in our study was genotype 3, accounting for 95.8% (n=3657) of HCV positive cases. The second most common genotype was Type 1 accounting for 2.9% (n=109) of HCV positive cases. Other genotypes were Type 2 (0.3%, n=12) and Type 4 (0.1%, n=5). Mixed genotype (Type 1 and 3) were detected in almost 1 % (n=35) of cases. We did not find genotype 5 and 6 in our study sample. No significant difference was observed among males and females in genotype distribution (P>0.05). Conclusion: The most common genotype among HCV patients were found to be genotype 3 followed by genotype 1 as the second most common in Rawalpindi/Islamabad region during the study period.
