Deliberately Prejudiced Self-Driving Vehicles Elicit the Most Outrage
Authors: De Freitas Julian , Cikara Mina
Published: May 2020

Should self-driving vehicles be prejudiced, e.g., deliberately harm the elderly over young children? When people make such forced-choices on the vehicle’s behalf, they exhibit systematic preferences (e.g., favor young children), yet when their options are unconstrained they favor egalitarianism. So, which of these response patterns should guide AV programming and policy? We argue that this debate is missing the public reaction most likely to threaten the industry’s life-saving potential: moral outrage. We find that people are more outraged by AVs that kill discriminately than indiscriminately. Crucially, they are even more outraged by an AV that deliberately kills a less preferred group (e.g., an elderly person over a child) than by one that indiscriminately kills a more preferred group (e.g., a child). Thus, at least insofar as the public is concerned, there may be more reason to depict and program AVs as egalitarian.
“We Need to Start Thinking Ahead”: The Impact of Social Context on Linguistic Norm Adherence
Authors: Lockshin Jane , Williams Thomas
Published: May 2020

Human dialogue is governed by communicative norms that speakers are expected to follow in order to be viewed as cooperative dialogue partners. Accordingly, for language-capable autonomous agents to be effective human teammates they must be able to understand and generate language that complies with those norms. Moreover, these linguistic norms are highly context sensitive, requiring autonomous agents to be able to model the contextual factors that dictate when and how those norms are applied. In this work, we consider three key linguistic norms (directness, brevity, and politeness), and examine the extent to which adherence to these norms varies under changes to three key contextual factors (potential for harm, interlocutor authority, and time pressure). Our results, based on a human-subject study involving 5,642 human utterances, provide strong evidence that speakers do indeed vary their adherence to these norms under changes to these contextual factors.
Understanding the Leaders of Tomorrow: The Need to Study Leadership in Adolescence
Authors: Tackett Jennifer L , Reardon Kathleen Wade , Fast Nathanael , Johnson Lars , Kang Sonia , Lang Jonas W. B. , Oswald Frederick Louis
Published: May 2020

Leadership traits and behaviors are observed early in human development, and although an improved understanding of youth leadership would usefully inform many real-world contexts (e.g., education, parenting, policy), most empirical work on leadership has been limited to adult populations. The purpose of the current manuscript is to add a developmental perspective to leadership research that has so far been absent. Here, we (1) highlight adolescence as a critical developmental period for leadership emergence and development, (2) argue that leadership among youth is poorly understood and critically understudied, (3) provide exemplars of synergy between research on leadership and adolescent development that are ripe for focused inquiry, and (4) underscore some of the positive consequences of accelerating empirical research on leadership in adolescence, including implications for a deeper understanding of leadership in adult working populations.
A win-win situation: Does familiarity with a social robot modulate feedback monitoring and learning?
Authors: Abubshait Abdulaziz , Beatty Paul , McDonald Craig , Hassall Cameron Dale , Krigolson Olave , Wiese Eva
Published: May 2020

Social species rely on the ability to modulate feedback-monitoring in social contexts to adjust one’s actions and obtain desired outcomes. When being awarded positive outcomes during a gambling task, feedback-monitoring is attenuated when strangers are rewarded, as less value is assigned to the awarded outcome. This difference in feedback-monitoring can be indexed by an event-related potential (ERP) component known as the Reward Positivity (RewP), whose amplitude is enhanced when receiving positive feedback. While the degree of familiarity influences the RewP, little is known about how the RewP and reinforcement learning are affected when gambling on behalf of familiar versus nonfamiliar agents, such as robots. This question becomes increasingly important given that robots may be used as teachers and/or social companions in the near future, with whom children and adults will interact with for short- or long- periods of time. In the present study, we examine whether feedback-monitoring when gambling on behalf of one-self compared to a robot is impacted by whether participants have familiarized themselves with the robot prior to the task. We expected enhanced RewP amplitude for self versus other for those who did not familiarize with the robot and that self-other differences in the RewP would be attenuated for those who familiarized with the robot. Instead, we observed that the RewP was larg-er when familiarization with the robot occurred, which corresponded to overall worse learning outcomes. These findings suggest that familiarization with robots may cause a positive motivational effect, which positively affects RewP amplitudes, but interferes with learning.
Independent contributions of the face, body and gait to the representation of the whole person
Authors: Simhi Noa , Yovel Galit
Published: May 2020

Most studies on person perception have primarily investigated static images of faces. However, real-life person perception involves also the body and often the gait of the whole person. Whereas some studies indicated that the face dominates the representation of the whole person, others have emphasized the additional contribution of the body and gait. Here, we compared models of whole person perception by asking whether a model that includes the body for static whole person stimuli and also the gait for dynamic whole person stimuli accounts better for the representation of the whole person than a model that takes into account the face alone. Participants rated the distinctiveness of static or dynamic displays of different people based on either the whole person, face, body, or gait. By fitting a linear regression model to the representation of the whole person based on the face, body and gait, we revealed that the face and body contribute uniquely and independently to the representation of the static whole person, and that gait further contributes to the representation of the dynamic person. A complementary analysis examined if these components are also valid dimensions of a whole person representational space. This analysis further confirmed that the body in addition to the face, as well as the gait are valid dimensions of the static and dynamic whole person representations, respectively. These data clearly show that whole person perception goes beyond the face and is significantly influenced by the body and gait.
Extending Systems Factorial Technology to errored responses
Authors: Little Daniel R. , Yang Haiyuan , Eidels Ami , Townsend James T.
Published: May 2020

Systems Factorial Technology (SFT) is a theoretically-derived methodology that allows for strong inferences to be made about the underlying processing architecture (e.g., whether processing occurs in a pooled, coactive fashion or independently, in serial or in parallel). Measures of mental architecture using SFT have been restricted to the use of error-free response times. In this paper, through formal proofs and demonstrations, we extended the measure of architecture, the survivor interaction contrast (SIC), to response times conditioned on whether they are correct or incorrect. We show that so long as an ordering relation (between stimulus conditions of different difficulty) is preserved, unique conditional SIC predictions are found for several classes of processing models. We further prove that this ordering relation holds for the popular Wiener diffusion model for both correct and error RTs but fails under some instantiations of a Poisson counter model.
Racial residential segregation and economic disparity jointly exacerbate the COVID-19 fatality in large American cities
Authors: Yu Qinggang , Salvador Cristina , Melani Irene , Berg Martha , Neblett Enrique , Kitayama Shinobu
Published: May 2020

The disproportionately high rates of both infections and deaths of underprivileged racial minorities in the U.S. (including Blacks and Hispanics) during the current COVID-19 pandemic show that structural inequality can be lethal. However, the nature of this structural inequality is poorly understood. Here, we hypothesized that two structural features of urban areas in the U.S. (racial residential segregation and income inequality) contribute to numerous health-compromising conditions, which, in turn, exacerbate COVID-19 fatalities. These two features may be particularly lethal when combined. To test this hypothesis, we examined the growth rate of both confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths in an early 30-day period of the outbreak in the counties located in each of the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. The growth curve for cases and deaths was steeper in counties located in metropolitan areas that residentially segregate Blacks and Hispanics. Moreover, this effect of racial residential segregation was augmented by income inequality within each county. The current evidence highlights the role of racial and economic disparity in producing the devastating human toll in the current pandemic. It also offers important policy implications for making virus-resilient cities.
Skin Tone Differences in Social Mobility in Mexico: Are We Forgetting Regional Variance?
Authors: Monroy-Gómez-Franco Luis Angel , Vélez-Grajales Roberto
Published: May 2020

Recent analyses at the national scale have concluded that there is a strong relationship between skin tones and social mobility in Mexico, where darker skin tones are associated with lower rates of relative upward intergenerational mobility compared to the rest of the population. Our paper shows that these estimates, by failing to take into account the effect of regional differences in the distribution of skin tones, tend to overestimate the gap between light and dark skin tones in Mexico. In other words, they overestimate the intergenerational rate of rank persistence for the dark skin population by omitting the effect of differences in regional economic performance. We correct for this factor by analyzing a new data set with information representative at the regional level. Our results suggest that the mobility gap between light and dark skin tone individuals persists after including the regional dimension in the analysis. Throughout the country, light skin individuals have an advantage at moving upwards the socioeconomic scale and remaining at the top compared with the rest of the population. However, the magnitude of the gap varies across regions, being smallest in Mexico City and largest in the North West and South regions of the country. We also find that, regardless of skin tone, individuals with origins in the South face a disadvantage with respect to their peers from the rest of the country.

The darkest place is under the candlestick: Mainstream schools as shadow education providers in the Czech Republic
Authors: Šťastný Vít
Published: May 2020

Shadow education is a global phenomenon encompassing various forms and types of private supplementary tutoring. Scholarly literature has mainly focused on fee-based tutoring in academic subjects supplied by individual tutors or tutoring companies outside schools. In the Czech Republic, a specific form of shadow education is offered by mainstream schools that provide compulsory education. The focus of this paper is on paid preparatory courses offered by academic-track schools to prepare pupils for entrance examinations to their study programs. It explores principals’ motivations to provide such courses, and associated issues and dilemmas. Its findings are based on a mixed-method research design, and draw mainly from qualitative interviews with principals and other management staff. Findings suggest that in the context of high school autonomy and per-capita school funding, principals perceive this kind of shadow education as a tool to marketize the school and attract more (high-achieving) pupils. Principals sometimes conduct tough negotiations with their schoolteachers about their involvement in the practice, and school shadow education may raise ethical and equity-related issues. The paper contributes to a wider scholarly literature by opening a new and significant branch of shadow education research and points out further research directions in the area of school shadow education.
Performance Study of Narrow-distribution Aliphatic Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether Phosphates with Large EO Addition Number
Authors: Feng Ning , Zhang Guangliang , Zhao Yonghong
Published: May 2020

In this paper, three kinds of aliphatic alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers (AEO) with different molecular weight distribution were used as raw materials, and aliphatic alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate (AEP) was obtained by P2O5 process. FT-IR and 31P-NMR were used to characterize the structure of the product, confirming the formation of the product. HPLC-ESI was used to probe the molecular weight distribution of the sample. The surface activity, wetting properties and application properties of the samples were measured. Wetting and permeability were found to increase with decreasing EO addition, and N-AE7P is optimal, which is related to the spatial structure of the molecule. The surface activity, washing performance and foaming properties of C-AE9P are better as that of the other investigated compounds because of the synergistic effect between the complex components.

Published: May 2020

El retinoblastoma es la neoplasia maligna intraocular más frecuente en la edad pediátrica. Es diagnosticado entre el primer y tercer año de vida. Puede afectar uno o ambos ojos, siendo el signo clínico más característico la leucocoria, seguida del estrabismo, nistagmo y ojo rojo.  En cuanto a su incidencia, el retinoblastoma es mucho más frecuente en los países menos industrializados, de clase baja y en áreas rurales. Es considerado una enfermedad autosómica dominante, donde ambos alelos del gen RB1 se encuentran mutados, ocasionando alteraciones en el ciclo celular. Existen dos presentaciones del retinoblastoma, la forma hereditaria la cual está asociada a mutaciones de la línea germinal en el gen del retinoblastoma, conocido como RB1, esta presentación generalmente se presenta en niños de edad temprana, la mayoría de los casos son bilaterales o multifocales. La forma no hereditaria se caracteriza por mutaciones somáticas de RB1 en el tumor, generalmente tienen una enfermedad unilateral y unifocal, presentan antecedentes familiares negativos y a diferencia de la forma hereditaria, se presenta a una edad posterior. Las técnicas de imagen utilizadas para confirmar el diagnóstico y evaluar el estadiaje del tumor comprenden la ecografía ocular, tomografía computarizada y la imagen por resonancia magnética. La importancia de la detección temprana y el tratamiento oportuno va a permitir una mayor sobrevida en el paciente.

The Phenomenon of Culture in the Philosophy of the French Enlightenment
Authors: Gutova Svetlana Georgievna
Published: May 2020

The most relevant features of the French Enlightenment are studied in the article. One of the features is ambivalence, that was expressed in most of the theoretical judgments by representatives of the era. The main ideas of the French Enlightenment are presented through the prism of the historical formation of the basic concepts: nature, human brain, culture. It is emphasized that the main achievement of the enlighteners in the cultural reformation of society was to combat religious and moral prejudices. It is noted that the value of enlighteners is in their innovative attempt to create a progressive model of cultural development based on a naturalistic and mechanical and deterministic picture of the world. The philosophical and cultural analysis revealed the internal dynamics of the enlighteners' ideas from civilizational optimism to criticism of civilizational progress. It is concluded that the philosophical and theoretical legacy of the Enlightenment, in the framework of the development of a single paradigm, is integral, logical and actually complete, that made the most use of its methodological and heuristic potential.

Published: May 2020

The prognostic for metastatic melanoma is very poor when treated with standard cytotoxic chemotherapies
and it is often refractory to check point inhibitors and/or molecular targets. In this context the development
of new treatments with better efficacy and safety profiles is highly desirable. Based on our successful
experience applying suicide and immune gene therapy in a veterinary clinical setting, we are proposing its
translation to human patients. We are presenting here the first-in-human safety assay of this approach. We
report two cases of refractory metastatic melanoma. The first-one was a 27-years-old pharyngeal mucosal
melanoma patient with a primary tumor in his left tonsil. Despite transient slowing down, the disease
successively progressed to radiotherapy, radical surgery, ipilimumab, nivolumab, imatinib and
temozolomide. The second-one was a 72-years-old malignant melanoma patient with a primary tumor in
his left hallux. Despite transient slowing down, the disease successively progressed to hallux amputation,
inguinal lymphadenectomy, radiotherapy, interferon-alpha, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab and
temozolomide. The proposed treatment included local intratumoral suicide gene therapy concomitant with
a subcutaneous vaccine composed by allogeneic tumor extracts and liposomes with plasmids bearing IL-2
and GM-CSF genes. The treatment was safe: the only side effects were from mild to moderate and
manageable: pyrexia, swelling of the injected tumor and partial hair loss (alopecia). Due to disease
progression both patients were withdrawn from the study before completing the complete series of
interventions. These preliminary data encourage the completion of further clinical trials to establish the
possible clinical benefit of the proposed approach.
Prostate Cancer-Associated Trousseau´S Syndrome Versus Asymptomatic Isolated Muscular Calf Vein Thrombosis as the Origin of Acute Submassive Pulmonary Embolism: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Tsamaloukas Antonis , Tsamaloukas Antonis , Giagounidis Aristoteles , Roigas Jan , Glück Stefan
Published: May 2020

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Cancer
patients have a four to sevenfold increased risk of VTE compared with non-cancer patients and
approximately 20% -30% of all VTE occurs in patients with cancer. Incidence of VTE varies with cancer
type and is the highest among patients with metastatic-stage disease. Assessing risk of VTE in the patients
with cancer and risk stratification tools as the Khorana score may predict VTE. The highest risk is associated
with cancers of the pancreas, stomach, brain, and lung and some hematologic malignancies, whereas lower
risks are associated with breast and prostate cancer. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) for prostate cancer is
3.25(2,56 - 4,13) and for pancreas 15.56 (10.50-23.0). We give a case report with a quite perplexing
undertaking, where a submassive acute pulmonary embolism (PE) originated from an asymptomatic calf
vein thrombosis or intertwined with the Trousseau´s syndrome.
Essential Section: One of the authors (A.T) was unexpected faced with the diagnosis of poorly
differentiated prostate cancer. There were no signs of the disease, the PSA level was normal. As a retired
medical oncologist, he had to care for many patients with prostate cancer and had now to cope with this
cancer. To make the matter worse he suffered after the radical prostatectomy a submassive asymptomatic
pulmonary embolism. Clinically there were no signs if a deep venous thrombosis. The coincidence of both
events without clinical signs of a thrombosis could be caused by the Trousseau´s syndrome. Prostasomes
extracellular vesicles synthesizes by prostate cancer cells and secreted into body fluids are prothrombotic
by virtue of the expression of polyphosphate-activated coagulation factor XII.
Cyst of Canal of Nuck in a 62-Year-Old Woman: Case Report of a Rare Disease
Authors: Bressan Livia , Pozzetto Barbara , Rossana Bussani , Bressan Livia , Bortul Marina , Riccardo Pizzolato
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Cyst of Nuck in women is a rare development disorder corresponding to hydrocoele of the
spermatic cord in males; it can be associated with inguinal hernia in 30-40% of cases. Only 400 cases have
been described in literature and in there are no older than 50.
Case Presentation: A 62-year-old presented a right aching inguinal swelling. On physical examination the
mass was not reducible, without signs of incarceration or strangulation. On ultrasound the lesion was mostly
hypoechoic. CT saw an over liquid lesion, confirmed on MRI as a lesion hypointense in T1 and hyperintense
in T2. The patient underwent open surgery: the cyst was separated from the round ligament and excised in
mass and the defect was repaired with a prolene mesh. The histopathological exam confirmed the hydrocoele
(calretinin positive, mesothelial cells on the inner surface).
Discussion: The canal of Nuck is a small evagination of the parietal peritoneum that accompanies the round
ligament into the inguinal canal during the first year of female development and is normally obliterated in
the first year of life. Failure of obliteration of Nuck canal results in a hydrocoele that could develop intraabdominal or extra – abdominal or both. Ultrasound shows a thin walled, well defined, echo free cystic
structure but the perfect diagnosis is given by MRI. Therapy is surgical and it can be open or, more recently,
laparoscopic, depending on the expertise of the surgeon.
Conclusion: A cyst of Nuck is a rare condition but it should always be considered in differential diagnosis
of cystic inguinal lumps in women. Most of the reported cases concern children and young men. To our
knowledge this is the only case regarding a more than 50-year-old.
Isolated Limb Perfusion in the Treatment of In-Transit Melanoma Metastases: Are There Predictive Factors for the Outcome?
Authors: Marguerite Stas , Oliver Bechter , Veerle Boecxstaens , Marjan Garmyn , Bolckmans Roel , Marguerite Stas , Oord Joost Van den , Pascal Wolter
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) with delivery of high dose melphalan proved to be efficient in
the treatment of in-transit metastases (ITM). Preoperative factors may carry an impact on patient outcome,
including in-field or local progression-free survival (IPFS), time to distant metastases (TDM) and overall
survival (OS).
Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 83 patients who underwent an ILP at our institution
before the era of efficient upfront systemic therapy in high-risk cases. Patients were classified according to
a modified M.D. Anderson score, with relevance for the outcome: 34 stage III A (patients with satellites
and/or ITM), 31 stage III AB (patients with synchronous regional lymph node metastases and satellites
and/or ITM), 11 at a new stage labelled III A(B) which takes into account a previous history of therapeutic
regional node dissection and actual recurrence in the limb only, and 7 stage IV (metastatic cases with actual
major problem of recurrence in the limb).
Results: Our median follow-up time was 90.1 months (IQR 72.8-151.6). Median IPFS was 16.3 months
(95% CI 9.5-78.5), median TDM 28.8 months (95% CI 15.4-69.6) and median OS 34.6 months (95% CI
21.1-59.5). The strongest significant prognostic factor regarding IPFS was LND before ILP (p=0.02).
However, sex (p=0.03/0.07), LND before ILP (p=0.004/0.11) and some primary tumor characteristics
(Clark level (p=0.15/0.07) and ulceration (p=0.006/0.04)) were prognostic regarding TDM and / or OS.
Conclusion: ILP with melphalan can provide long-term regional and systemic tumor control in a selected
group of patients and should be kept in mind for patients recurring after local surgery or radiotherapy and
resistant to or ineligible for the newer systemic therapies.
A Rare Case Report of Infected Baker’s (Popliteal) Cyst

Published: May 2020

A popliteal cyst, otherwise known as a Baker’s cyst, is a fluid-filled sac that forms behind the knee between
the medial head of the gastrocnemius and the semimembranosus muscles. These cysts have a high
prevalence in the adult population and are frequently associated with a variety of degenerative conditions
of the knee, which complicates the diagnosis. Our patient is an elderly male initially evaluated for a deep
venous thrombosis. Further evaluation revealed a baker’s cyst abscess, which was diagnosed on imaging
and confirmed post-operatively. A culture growth of the abscess was obtained that grew Streptococcus
anginosus. The patient presented with right leg swelling, erythema and knee pain. His physical exam showed
significant effusion of the right knee, with tenderness to palpation of the right posterior knee and a limited
range of motion with flexion. The venous duplex was negative for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and the
patient continued to experience significant pain with ambulation. A knee aspiration was done with purulent
joint fluid sent for culture. A computed tomography (CT) scan without contrast of his right leg revealed a
Baker’s cyst abscess within a collection of fluid. The patient was taken to the operating room (OR) with a
diagnosis of right septic knee and popliteal cyst abscess where arthroscopic irrigation and debridement with
extensive synovectomy of the right knee was performed. Aspiration cultures were positive for Streptococcus
anginosus, which has a unique ability to promote abscesses formation. Patient tolerated the procedure well
and was discharged from the hospital in good condition with instructions to take Rocephin IV for six weeks.
The patient ambulated without difficulty and showed significant improvement after 2 months.

Published: May 2020

Este artigo apresenta o relato de experiência de uma acadêmica de psicologia em suas primeiras vivências como estagiária em psicologia do esporte (PE). O estágio aconteceu no Centro de Educação Física Almirante Adalberto Nunes (CEFAN), instituição pertencente à Marinha do Brasil e polo de implementação do Programa Forças no Esporte (PROFESP). Com o objetivo de inclusão social através do esporte, o PROFESP atende crianças e adolescentes de 7 a 17 anos que residem no entorno do CEFAN, localizado próximo ao Complexo da Maré, no Rio de Janeiro. A atuação dos estagiários iniciantes era voltada para a observação de campo, compartilhamento de vivências e realização de relatórios com embasamento teórico e propostas de intervenção. Foram essas atividades que deram origem ao presente artigo, que abordará temas como agressividade, empatia e gênero no esporte. No que concerne à agressividade, a presença da Psicologia do Esporte pode facilitar o diálogo a fim de compreender e ressignificar os comportamentos e os sentimentos apresentados. Destaca-se, ainda, o trabalho focado nas habilidades empáticas tanto do professor quanto dos alunos. Já no que diz respeito às questões de gênero, apesar de o Programa contar com aulas mistas, sentiu-se falta de um espaço comum de elaboração e reelaboração. Para estas e outras questões destaca-se a importância da presença da equipe de psicologia para a promoção de um ambiente mais saudável e acolhedor.
