Published: November 2022

Note: This article has since been published: Gowen, E., Earley, L., Waheed, A., & Poliakoff, E. (2023). From "one big clumsy mess" to "a fundamental part of my character." Autistic adults' experiences of motor coordination. PloS one, 18(6), e0286753. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0286753 Altered motor coordination is common in autistic individuals affecting a range of movements such as manual dexterity, eye-hand coordination, balance and gait. However, motor coordination is not routinely assessed leading to undiagnosed and untreated motor coordination difficulties , particularly in adults. Few studies have investigated motor coordination difficulties and their impact from the viewpoint of autistic people. Therefore, the current study used FGs and thematic analysis to document the experience of motor coordination difficulties from the viewpoint of 17 autistic adults. Four main themes were identified. First, motor coordination difficulties were pervasive and variable, being present life-long and within multiple movements and affecting many aspects of life. Furthermore, the nature of the difficulties was variable within and between participants along with differing awareness of coordination ability. Second, participants described motor coordination as an active process, requiring concentration for most actions and at a level seemingly greater than other people. Third, motor coordination difficulties impacted upon social and emotional wellbeing by placing strain on relationships, prompting bullying and exclusion, putting safety at risk and causing a range of negative emotions. Fourth, in the absence of any support, participants described multiple learning and coping strategies. Findings highlight how it is essential to address the current lack of support for motor coordination considering the significant social and emotional consequences described by our participants. Further investigation of motor learning and interactions between sensory and motor performance in autistic adults is also warranted.
Wave-like patterns in parameter space: are they macroscopic effects resulting from quantum-level processes in the brain?
Authors: Kurtev Stoyan
Published: November 2022

It is generally assumed that conscious mental information processing occurs at the macroscale, and is therefore purely classical, without any causal influences from quantum effects on the microscale. Data from eight experiments show wave-like patterns in behavioral measures of performance, most prominently in the standard deviations of the response times, along an abstract dimension of numerosity magnitude. While it is possible to construct an explanation for this observation involving known neural mechanisms and phenomena at the macroscale of neural firing, an alternative explanation based on the assumption of an analogy between the quantum behavior of particles at the microscale and the measured behavior of the mental state on the macroscale is proposed as more elegant and parsimonious. The physical plausibility of a mechanism propagating all the way up from the microscale of quantum phenomena to the macroscale of human behavior is illustrated by the phenomenon of magnetic field sensing occurring in some birds’ brains.
Appealing to Motivation to Change Attitudes, Intentions, and Behavior: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 702 Experimental Tests of the Effects of Motivational Message Matching on Persuasion
Authors: Joyal-Desmarais Keven , Scharmer Alexandra , Madzelan Molly , See Jolene , Rothman Alexander , Snyder Mark
Published: November 2022

Message matching refers to the design and distribution of persuasive messages such that message features (e.g., the themes emphasized) align with characteristics of the target audience (e.g., their personalities). Motivational message matching is a form of this technique that seeks to enhance persuasion by matching specifically to differences in motivational characteristics (e.g., salient goals, needs, values). Despite widespread use of motivational matching, there is little understanding of how and when to use it. We conducted a preregistered (PROSPERO CRD42019116688; osf.io/rpjdg) systematic review and three-level meta-analysis of 702 experimental studies on motivational matching (synthesizing 5,251 effect sizes from N = 206,482). Studies were inclusive of publications until December 2018, and primarily identified using APA PsycInfo, MEDLINE, and Scopus. We evaluate moderation using meta-regressions, and provide bias assessments (sensitivity analyses, funnel plots). Motivational matching increases persuasion by an average of r = .20 (95% CI: .18, .22) as assessed by differences in attitudes, intentions, self-reported behavior, and observed behavior, relative to comparison conditions. This effect is larger than previously observed for other message matching approaches (e.g., message tailoring, message framing) which usually average r < .10. Although motivational matching can effectively improve persuasion, its effects are also marked by meaningful heterogeneity. Notably, motivational matching effects are largest when matching to contextual factors (than to individual differences), when compared to messages that conflict with people’s motivations, and when target characteristics are manipulated rather than assessed. Through this review, we develop and evaluate theoretical propositions that inform the optimization of motivational matching.
Critical slowing down in momentary affect as early warning signal of impending transitions in depression
Authors: Smit Arnout Christiaan , Helmich Marieke A. , Bringmann Laura Francina , Oldehinkel Albertine , Wichers M. , Snippe Evelien
Published: November 2022

Based on dynamical systems theory, the current study aimed to investigate if recurrence of depression is systematically preceded by within-person early warning signals (EWS) in positive and negative affect. Ecological momentary assessments were collected 5 times a day for a period of 4 months (averaging 524 assessments per individual) in 37 formerly depressed individuals discontinuing antidepressant medication. EWS (increases in window autocorrelation and variance) preceded recurrence of depression in 32.9% of the participants across robustness checks. Compared to participants that remained in remission, participants with a recurrence showed (1) significantly more positive trends in the variance, but not in autocorrelation, and (2) the average number of significant EWS was over three times larger across tested affect variables. Although the results provide the first systematic evidence that EWS occur more often before the recurrence of depression, the low sensitivity of EWS poses a substantial challenge for clinical applications.
Beats. Bauen. Lernen. - Manifestation, Konstitution und Entwicklung künstlerischer Handlungsfähigkeit beim Beatmaking
Authors: Kattenbeck Chris
Published: November 2022

Zu Beginn der 1980er Jahre entsteht innerhalb der Hip-Hop-Kultur in den USA das Beatmaking – eine Musikpraxis, die auf dem kreativen Umgang mit bereits vorhandenem Klangmaterial basiert und hauptsächlich in informellen Kontexten ausgeübt wird. In den letzten 40 Jahren hat sich das Beatmaking in enger Verbindung mit musik- und medientechnologischen Entwicklungen global verbreitet und vielfältig ausdifferenziert. Dabei hat es vor allem im Bereich der populären Musik in musikalisch-ästhetischer und technisch-praktischer Hinsicht maßgebende Impulse gesetzt. In seiner qualitativ-empirischen Studie geht Chris Kattenbeck der Frage nach, was es bedeutet, als Beatmaker*in künstlerisch kompetent zu handeln, welche Fertigkeiten und Kenntnisse dafür nötig sind und wie diese erworben und entwickelt werden. Damit liefert er grundlegende Erkenntnisse über eine bislang kaum erforschte Musikpraxis und die mit ihr verbundenen künstlerischen Strategien und Techniken, ästhetischen Ziele und Vorstellungen, Wissensformen und Lernpraktiken. Dabei zeigt sich unter anderem, dass bestimmte in der Musikpädagogik vorherrschende Verständnisse – etwa von Musiklernen oder Musiktheorie – ungeeignet sind, das Beatmaking adäquat zu erfassen. Die Studie bietet daher nicht zuletzt Anlass, diese Verständnisse zu hinterfragen und neu zu konzeptualisieren, um mit der Vielfalt musikalischer Praxen in Zukunft angemessen umgehen zu können.

Los Estados medio-orientales en su competencia por recursos y alianzas en África subsahariana (2000-2021)
Authors:   Universidad Complutense, Bustos Rafael , Pastor Juan Carlos ,   Universidad Complutense
Published: November 2022

El artículo explora la importancia antigua y nueva que para estos países de Oriente Medio tiene el continente africano a principios del siglo XXI. Para algunos de ellos es un interés histórico arraigado como es el caso de Egipto y su presencia en Sudán y las fuentes del Nilo, el de Turquía ligado al Imperio otomano o el de Omán, cuya vieja relación se remonta al comercio de esclavos y al control de Zanzíbar desde finales del siglo XVII, mientras que para Arabia Saudí o Irán esa relación data de los años 70 y para Emiratos Árabes Unidos y Catar este interés es mucho más reciente y arranca en el siglo XXI. Intereses que tienen múltiples vectores, entre los que destacan la competencia por la hegemonía regional de Oriente Medio, el prestigio, la intermediación y, en menor medida, pero también la compra de tierras cultivables en suelo africano. Por su parte, Israel, aunque es un actor que tratamos secundariamente, persigue también desde hace poco una agenda propia que resulta claramente distinguible del resto.

Published: November 2022

Chapter of the monograph reflects the problems of training specialists of a new creative type, who are distinguished by a high level of professionalism, who are ready for professional and creative self-realization, who have a need for constant professional and personal development and growth. Professional and creative self-realization was not previously considered as a value-target reference point for the professional training of specialists in the field of culture, which makes our study relevant, given the current priorities of higher education. The model of the process of training specialists in the sphere of culture for professional and creative self-realization developed by the author is built in accordance with the logic of a holistic approach in the unity of its internal structure (goal – content – means – result). In the process of implementing the model, a gradual increase in the quality of formation of the studied readiness was carried out. In the system of pedagogical means to form the readiness of specialists for professional and creative self-realization, innovative technologies (playing, projective, creative) are leading. The implementation of these technologies contributed to the acquisition of experience in personal, professional and professional-creative self-realization by future specialists in the field of culture. The special course «Theory and methods of training specialists for professional and creative self-realization» developed by the author is aimed at summarizing and mobilizing the knowledge of a block of general professional and special disciplines, developing special professional abilities (projective, pedagogical, creative) of professional qualities (creativity, general professional competence, competitiveness), as well as the gradual formation of readiness for personal, professional and professional-creative self-realization.
O neobkhodimosti professional'noi ekonomicheskoi etiki
Authors: Dzokaeva Zalina Mairamovna
Published: November 2022

Economists exercise power over those they serve by virtue of their intellectual monopoly on a subject of vital importance to society. Many economists today also wield considerable institutional power. Economic interventions, as a rule, bring both the expected harm and benefit. Economists work in a world of epistemic insufficiency, which implies the risk of unforeseen harm. Each of these statements does not cause any doubts. The chapter examines the problem of the fact that each proposal individually and, of course, all of them together imply the obligation of the profession to solve professional ethical problems that economic practice entails. The profession of an economist has too much influence today to allow its further resistance to serious interaction with professional ethics.

Technologies that facilitate the understanding of anatomical structures are advantageous for students compared to classical methods. It is known that mobile learning and 3D visualization methods are very useful in terms of students' perception, satisfaction, and usability. The general purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the studies investigating the effects of mobile learning in anatomy education. Electronic databases such as Google Scholar, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Web of Science were used in the research. The use of mobile applications in anatomy education Scans published after 2013 was reviewed. Research studies containing information about mobile applications used in anatomy education were analyzed using the keywords 'anatomy education' and 'mobile learning'. Data were collected for the study between January 10 and March 29, 2022. In this context, 12,220 articles were reached due to electronic scans. In the research, 779 scientific publications were reached in terms of appropriateness, and 30 were found to be related to the subject of the study and were considered. In 20 (66%) studies examined within the scope of systematic review, it was stated that mobile learning facilitates three-dimensional learning and it is motivating and fun. In 19 (63%) studies, the learning activity of medical faculty students in anatomy education with mobile applications was investigated, and positive feedback was received from the students. However, in 6 (20%) studies, students stated that cadaveric education was easier, internet access outside the school was problematic, they had difficulty in downloading programs to their personal devices and they could not use the programs because they were paid. 6 (20%) of 30 studies are applications made with AR. In 8 (26%) of the studies, it was seen that the final exam results of the students who learned anatomy with mobile application got higher scores than the students who learned with the traditional method. Examined articles have shown that mobile learning techniques used for anatomy education in the classroom, in the laboratory, and outside the classroom increase success and are more motivating than traditional learning methods. It has been seen that AR programs provide the most success among mobile applications and do not negatively affect student success.
The Meaning of Contention

Published: November 2022

Contention is everywhere nowadays, permeating the fabric of society and constituting an important element of many different social relationships. It is also a central topic across a wide range of social scientific disciplines. Following the most contentious decade in over a century, scholarship on the topic of “contention” is booming. Nonetheless, we still lack a conceptual approach to “contention” as a general academic term beyond the bounds of the study of “contentious politics.” What is the meaning of contention? Drawing on a decade of editorial and research work on contention, this article surveys the profound breadth and variety of academic research on the topic, ranging from politics, psychology, and sociology to material culture, criminology, and beyond. We outline the common conceptual thread across these various areas, where “contention” generally indicates conflictual collective contests concerning competing claims.

Supporting Students' Self-Directed Learning in EFL Speaking Classroom by Using Cake Application
Authors: Indah Sri Redjeki  , R. Muhajir
Published: November 2022

Students are currently on the verge of a technological revolution known as Industry 4.0. As a result, it is critical for today's educators to be able to integrate a teaching-learning method with educational technology as appropriate media in order to achieve the goal of effectively teaching and learning EFL speaking. Smartphones or mobile devices can be loaded with a variety of language-learning apps. One of them is the Cake application, which will serve as the focal point of this current study to supplement previous relevant research. Using a case study research design, 25 third-semester English education program students as the research participants were asked to explore Cake at home for a week while recording all of their activities and discoveries. They were then given open-ended questionnaires to express their perceptions with the app. The results demonstrated that the Cake supported students' self-directed learning in EFL speaking classroom since it was easy, simple, interesting to use, and contained a lot of features for English learning independently, so they could manage themselves to decide the learning goals of using the app and control the learning process. The app could also be used to help them improve some components of speaking skills (pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar) which are the most common issues they face when speaking English. As a result, this app could be a good way for EFL students to improve their speaking skills and support their self-directed learning.

So that the objectives and standards of education can be achieved.
Islamismus in der Jugendphase
Authors: Frank Anja , Scholz Anna Felicitas
Published: November 2022

Obwohl es mittlerweile eine Vielzahl an Forschung zum Phänomen Islamismus gibt, wurden in nur wenigen Studien Interviews mit jungen Menschen mit islamistischen Orientierungen geführt und systematisch ausgewertet. In diesem Buch gehen die Autorinnen anhand autobiografischer Erzählungen den folgenden Fragen nach: Wie eignen sich junge Menschen islamistische Orientierungen an, wie hängen sie mit biografischen Erfahrungen zusammen und welche Funktion erfüllen sie in den Biografien? Die Autorinnen zeigen, dass die Orientierungen in jugendphasenspezifische Probleme von Grenzziehung, Handlungskontrolle, sozialer Positionierung und Vergemeinschaftung eingebunden sind und diese Probleme auf verschiedene Weise gelöst werden: Islamismus übernimmt dabei die Funktion der starken Grenze, die Funktion der starken Ordnung oder die Funktion der starken Gemeinschaft.

Gamification of the overexploitation of natural resources. An operational game based on System Dynamics
Authors: Bardi Ugo , Perissi Ilaria
Published: November 2022

Overexploitation is the phenomenon that occurs when an economic resource is exploited at a rate faster than it can be regenerated by natural processes. It affects both renewable and non-renewable resources. Overexploitation, and the related effect of “overshoot,” may lead to the complete destruction of the resource being exploited and the collapse of the economic system exploiting it. Nevertheless, overexploitation is common in the economy, although its mechanisms and consequences are often unknown to the public and to decision makers. The present paper aims at providing a tool to disseminate the concept of overexploitation by simulating it using the technique of “gamification.” We created a simple boardgame based on a system dynamics model that maintains the basic elements that generate overexploitation. The game is called the “Moby Dick Game” and it is inspired by the whaling cycle of the 19th century. Other versions of the game can be used to simulate, for instance, oil extraction. The game was tested on several groups of students and interested people with different backgrounds. The players usually reported to have learned for the first time the mechanisms that lead to overexploitation and collapse.
Low Donor Site Morbidity Supports the Use of Infraumbilical Flaps for Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Bettini Giordana , Saia Giorgia , Franco Piero , Valsecchi Stefano , Tognin Laura , Alexandre Enrico , Bedogni Alberto
Published: November 2022

Background: Currently, the standard design of the skin component of abdominal soft-tissue flaps recommended for head and neck reconstruction encompasses the upper and lower periumbilical region to include the maximum number of myocutaneous perforators. Yet, this flap design precludes the harvest of bilateral flaps and the use of the contralateral area in case of flap failure. Aim: We aimed at proving the long-term safety of infraumbilical abdominal free flaps in terms of abdominal wall integrity. 

Methods: Consecutive subjects who underwent reconstruction of composite cervico-facial defects with infraumbilical free flaps between 2008 - 2020 were enrolled. After surgery, patients were followed up at three-month intervals to evaluate the incidence of any complications at the donor site. 

Results: 25 patients underwent reconstruction with free flaps from the lower abdomen. A total of 35 abdominal flaps were performed; ten patients underwent bilateral flap harvest. Marginal abdominal skin necrosis occurred in 3 patients. Abdominal bulge occurred in one case; neither hernia nor abdominal wall weakness was encountered at a median follow-up of 12 months. Conclusions: The infraumbilical region is a safe donor area of free flaps for head and neck reconstruction that preserves abdominal wall firmness and provides a satisfactory cosmetic result at the donor site.
Multivariate Time-Series Data Generation in Generative Adversarial Networks
Authors: Zahid Hira , Mahmood Tariq
Published: November 2022

Time-series data often arises during the monitoring and evaluation of ongoing industrial processes. Time series forecasting requires accurate data modelling through the description of inherent structures such as trend, cycle, and seasonality by collecting and modeling stochastically the historical data points of a time series. In this paper, we are concerned with industrial time series data that is limited and not readily available for accurate machine learning tasks, e.g., online fraud and network intrusion data. In this scenario, modeling of time series can be achieved through generative modeling activities in deep learning. Then, abundant temporal data can be generated and used in different ways to achieve application-level forecasts and predictions. We focus on the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to model and generate limited real-world time-series data. We discover that this is a relatively new research domain with research trends generally focusing on employing real data to generate or forecast the time series through the GAN in a supervised manner. On the contrary, we adopt a novel approach that is completely unsupervised, i.e., we employ GAN to generate limited time series data from a (gaussian) noise distribution as input without any additional input vector of real data. To achieve realistic generative performance in this situation, we propose and implement a feedback mechanism through which GAN improves its performance by using historically generated time series (and never the real data). Using different experimental configurations, we demonstrate that our approach generates realistic limited intrusion detection data from the standard CIC-IDS2017 dataset.
A Novel Framework for Concept Drift Detection using Autoencoders for Classification Problems in Data Streams
Authors: Ali Usman , Mahmood Tariq
Published: November 2022

In streaming data environments like weather forecasting, health care monitoring, network traffic monitoring and energy consumption etc., data characteristics and probability distributions are likely to change over time, posing challenges for classification models to predict accurately. In such non-stationary environments where the patterns in data can change quickly, the pre-trained machine learning models may become outdated and hence, there is a need to update the model to maintain an acceptable predictive performance. Existing approaches to drift detection, particularly supervised and unsupervised, have inherent problems. Supervised methods detect drift based on the error rate and assume that labels are available immediately after prediction which may not be possible in several real-world scenarios. Unsupervised methods on the other hand suffer from high rate of false alarms and curse of dimensionality (i.e., the complexity faced in detecting drift across an increased number of features). To develop a more applicable technology, in this paper, we are concerned with unsupervised drift detection i.e., to detect drift independent of the labels. A recent set of experiments has revealed that it is possible to make an autoencoder learn the data distribution of a pre-defined set of classes and distinguish between the different class samples as they arrive. Based on this, we propose an Autoencoder-based Drift Detection Method (AE-DDM) which monitors the distribution of reconstruction loss in an incoming batch stream based on a thresholding mechanism to generate warnings and detect drift. AE-DDM has been tested on four synthetics (RBM, Hyperplane, Stagger and Gaussian)and one real word dataset (NOAA) with sudden and gradual drifts. AE-DDM starts generating warnings and then conforms the drift with zero delays in case of sudden drift with reduced false alarms. The classification results of ten most used machine learning classifiers on the NOAA dataset show that the detected drift is real. In this context, the potential contributions of our research are: 1) a novel framework for unsupervised drift detection based on the deep learning autoencoder technology, 2) A brief comparison of available drift detection approaches with proposed properties of an ideal drift detector, c) creation of a synthetic Gaussian dataset for drift detection research, and d) use of count threshold in conjunction with a batch threshold to combat false alarms in drift detection.

The aim of this research was to determine the antibody titer results for laying hens Avian Influeza (AI) and CV (Coefficient of variance) in open and close houses. This research took place at the Bukit Limestone laying hens farm which is located in Talun, Blitar Regency, East Java. The sample of this study was randomly selected from each cage with the number of each cage being 30 test samples. Blood samples were taken through the brachial vein which is located on the inside of the chicken wing. Titer examination was carried out using the HI test (Hemagglutation inhibition) serological test method at the serological test laboratory of PT Akurat Diagnostik Indonesia. Based on this comparative descriptive research, the method used to analyze the data is the Mann-Whitney test and using SPSS. In closed house cages, the average AI antibody titer is 24.03 while in open house cages, the average AI antibody titer is 25.30. Chickens with an average antibody titer of > 24 were classified as protective against Avian Influenza. The test results showed no significant difference in AI antibody titers in closed house and open house cages.

O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar o conhecimento sobre fitoterapia na população pernambucana, bem como os fatores associados. Realizou-se estudo transversal de abordagem quantitativa teve sua coleta de dados remota a partir de um questionário online; e buscou extrair informações sobre o perfil dos participantes, utilização e conhecimento sobre fitoterapia. Os dados foram submetidos a testes estatísticos para verificar associações significantes (p=0.05). A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade de Pernambuco. Dentre 372 indivíduos, 80,6% relataram conhecer o tema. Os fatores associados ao conhecimento sobre a fitoterapia foram idade superior a 25 anos, residência na capital pernambucana, ensino superior completo, remuneração maior que três salários mínimos, raça/cor branca, residência com até, no máximo, duas pessoas e uso da fitoterapia (p < 0.05). Há desigualdade no acesso à informação, tornando necessárias estratégias de educação em saúde para populações mais vulneráveis e regiões menos desenvolvidas.

Published: November 2022

A dor oncológica configura-se como uma problemática atual de alta prevalência e difícil manejo. Logo, na busca por novas perspectivas para o alívio dos níveis álgicos de pacientes oncológicos, o uso da Cannabis surge como uma alternativa terapêutica. Diante disso, objetivou-se destacar, neste estudo, o potencial farmacológico da planta Cannabis sativa L. (cannabaceae) no tratamento da dor oncológica. Assim, realizou-se uma revisão da literatura através das bases de dados: SciELO, LILACS, Science direct e PubMed, considerando trabalhos publicados entre 2007 e 2020. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 25 artigos foram selecionados. Observa-se que a potencialidade farmacológica da Cannabis sativa está ligada ao grande número de substâncias químicas presentes em sua composição, sendo a principal classe denominada canabinoides. Tais compostos possuem inúmeras propriedades biológicas, como atividade antiemética, neuroprotetora, anti-inflamatória e anticâncer, podendo ser benéfica no tratamento da dor oncológica e distúrbios psíquicos. Atualmente, há um medicamento em uso clínico derivado dos canabinoides, sendo utilizado para aliviar algias oncológicas, porém encontra-se limitado ao Canadá.
