Individual differences in envy experienced through perspective-taking involves functional connectivity of the superior frontal gyrus
Authors: McDonald Brennan , Becker Kerstin , Meshi Dar , Heekeren Hauke R. , von Scheve Christian 
Published: June 2020

AbstractEnvy is the painful or resentful awareness of another’s advantage combined with a desire to possess that same advantage. Recent neuroscientific research has begun to shed light on the brain regions that process the experience of envy, including regions of the prefrontal cortex involved in emotional processing and social cognition. It is still unclear, however, which regions of the brain are functionally connected during the experience of envy. We recorded functional neuroimaging data while inducing simulated envy in participants, experienced through a perspective-taking hypothetical scenario task. In this task, participants took the perspective of a protagonist portrayed in a written description and compared themselves to either i) a self-similar/superior individual, ii) a self-dissimilar/superior individual, or iii) a self-dissimilar/average individual. During each comparison, participants also reported how much envy they experienced while taking the protagonists perspective. We demonstrate an inverse relationship in the connectivity of the left superior frontal gyrus to both the right supramarginal gyrus and the precuneus with respect to self-reported envy ratings across participants. In other words, we show that the greater the functional connectivity that the left superior frontal gyrus shares with the right supramarginal gyrus and precuneus, the less reported envy a participant experiences. Overall, our results are in line with previous research implicating the superior frontal gyrus in the reappraisal of negative emotions and extend these findings by showing this region is also involved in modulating the simulated experience of the social comparative, negative emotion of envy.
Video Grand Rounds in Rural Teacher Preparation
Authors: Voytecki Karen S , Tripp Marsha Craft , Wilhite Kathi , Warren Sandra Hopfengardner 
Published: June 2020

Video Grand Rounds (VGR) were used at a rural university to prepare special education teacher candidates. Using the VGR structure, teacher candidates were taught to understand, observe, and articulate observations of classroom instruction through the use of authentic classroom videos created locally by K-12 rural special and general educators. The videos include teachers working with learners with disabilities and implementing instruction aligned with the general and adapted curriculum standards. In this paper, we report the effects of VGR on teacher candidates’ development of observation skills in an early experience course in this mixed methods study and share the design and development of templates for implementing this model.
Two Major Constraints on the Inner Radii of Accretion Disks
Authors: Zdziarski Andrzej A. , De Marco Barbara 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The Stefan–Boltzmann law yields a fundamental constraint on the geometry of inner accretion disks in black hole X-ray binaries. It follows from considering the irradiating flux and the effective temperature of the inner parts of the disk, which implies that a strong quasi-thermal component with the average energy higher than that of a blackbody at the effective temperature has to be present whenever relativistic Fe K fluorescence and reflection features are observed. The apparent absence of such quasi-thermal component with the color temperature of ∼1 keV in high-luminosity hard states is not compatible with a strongly irradiated disk extending close to the innermost stable circular orbit. Instead, the disk should be either truncated at a relatively large radius or irradiated by a corona at a large height, which would reduce the effective temperature and bring it to an agreement with the data. We also study constraints on disk/corona models following from comparing the disk densities fitted in literature using variable-density reflection codes with those calculated by us from the ionization parameter, the luminosity, and the disk inner radius. We find that the fitted densities are much higher/lower in the hard/soft state of binaries, implying significant problems with the used assumptions and methods.
Expressed emotion, medication adherence and association with disease prognosis in patients with schizophrenia at Teaching Hospital, Anuradhapura
Authors: Ellepola A. , Abayaweera C. A. 
Published: June 2020

BackgroundHigh expressed emotion is a robust predictor of relapse in schizophrenia. In spite of significant involvement of the family in caring for mentally ill in Sri Lanka, studies on expressed emotion in Sri Lanka are limited. AimsTo explore associations between high expressed emotion, treatment adherence, and the number of relapses needing admission among patients diagnosed to have schizophrenia who were managed at Teaching Hospital, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. MethodsA cross sectional study was conducted among a sample of 170 patients with schizophrenia and their primary caregivers. The Level of Expressed Emotion questionnaire was used to assess for high expressed emotion. ResultsFemales constituted 52% of the participants. Mean age was 40 years. Most were married, unemployed and had poor treatment adherence. Low expressed emotion was reported by 58% of the study population. The primary caregiver was most often a married female, with a mean age 51 years. Patients who experienced high expressed emotion and had poor treatment adherence had a higher number of relapses (p<0.01). Expressed emotion, illness duration and compliance were independent risk factors for relapse (p<0.05). Gender and living with primary caregiver did not significantly predict relapse. ConclusionsThe findings of this study were consistent with previous research findings. High expressed emotion, mainly due to hostile attitudes towards illness, and poor medication adherence were associated with frequency of relapses in a group of Sri Lankan patients with schizophrenia. Further research is needed to explore cultural and geographic differences.

ContextAssessments of the duration of concussion recovery have primarily been limited to sport-related concussions and male contact sports. Furthermore, whereas durations of symptoms and return-to-activity (RTA) protocols encompass total recovery, the trajectory of each duration has not been examined separately.ObjectiveTo identify individual (eg, demographics, medical history), initial concussion injury (eg, symptoms), and external (eg, site) factors associated with symptom duration and RTA-protocol duration after concussion.DesignCohort study.SettingThree US military service academies.Patients or Other ParticipantsA total of 10 604 cadets at participating US military service academies enrolled in the study and completed a baseline evaluation and up to 5 postinjury evaluations. A total of 726 cadets (451 men, 275 women) sustained concussions during the study period.Main Outcome Measure(s)Number of days from injury (1) until the participant became asymptomatic and (2) to complete the RTA protocol.ResultsVarsity athlete cadets took less time than nonvarsity cadets to become asymptomatic (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.75, 95% confidence interval = 1.38, 2.23). Cadets who reported less symptom severity on the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool, third edition (SCAT3), within 48 hours of concussion had 1.45 to 3.77 times shorter symptom-recovery durations than those with more symptom severity. Similar to symptom duration, varsity status was associated with a shorter RTA-protocol duration (HR = 1.74, 95% confidence interval = 1.34, 2.25), and less symptom severity on the SCAT3 was associated with a shorter RTA-protocol duration (HR range = 1.31 to 1.47). The academy that the cadet attended was associated with the RTA-protocol duration (P &lt; .05).ConclusionsThe initial total number of symptoms reported and varsity athlete status were strongly associated with symptom and RTA-protocol durations. These findings suggested that external (varsity status and academy) and injury (symptom burden) factors influenced the time until RTA.
Dry Cupping Therapy for Improving Nonspecific Neck Pain and Subcutaneous Hemodynamics
Authors: Stephens Stephanie L. , Selkow Noelle M. , Hoffman Nicole L. 
Published: June 2020

Context
Dry cupping therapy is a noninvasive treatment commonly used to reduce pain and promote the healing process in various populations, including those with nonspecific neck pain; however, no data are available to support most of this method's true physiological benefits.

Objective
To determine if dry cupping therapy decreased pain and increased subcutaneous blood flow compared with sham cupping and control conditions.

Design
Controlled laboratory study.

Setting
Laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants
A total of 32 participants (age = 22.5 ± 2.8 years, height = 173.3 ± 10.1 cm, mass = 76.6 ± 18.7 kg) with self-reported nonspecific neck pain.

Intervention(s)
We used dry cupping and sham cupping interventions and a control condition. For the dry cupping intervention, 1 stationary cup was placed directly over the most painful area for 8 minutes. The sham cupping intervention followed the same procedures as the dry cupping intervention except a sham cup was applied. For the control condition, participants received no treatment.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
Subjective pain intensity (visual analog scale); pain-pressure threshold; subcutaneous hemodynamics, including superficial and deep oxygenated, deoxygenated, and total hemoglobin levels; and tissue saturation index.

Results
We observed differences in the visual analog scale score and the superficial and deep oxygenated and total hemoglobin levels (P values ≤ .002) immediately postintervention compared with baseline. Post hoc tests revealed that the dry cupping group had less pain than the sham cupping and control groups and higher superficial and deep oxygenated and total hemoglobin levels (P values ≤ .008). No differences were found between baseline and 24 hours postintervention.

Conclusions
A single session of dry cupping therapy may be an effective short-term treatment method for immediately reducing pain and increasing oxygenated and total hemoglobin levels in patients with nonspecific neck pain.
Computer Aided Grain Aeration Management: an Antidote to Grain Deterioration in Metal Silo
Authors: Olorunfemi Bayode Julius , Adekunle Adefemi , Adejuyigbe Samuel 
Published: June 2020

Aeration is very important for good grain storage as it helps to maintain uniform grain temperatures, minimizes moisture migration, and prevents quality loss of stored grain. The temperature of grain stock was monitored with the aid of temperature sensors installed inside the silo bins. Each silo contained twenty sensors located on five probes at different sections of the silo bin. Grain was received to experimented metal silos at 300C. The parameters for grain before reception were 1% broken grain, 1% mould, 1% foreign matters, 68- 75KG/HL weight and 12% moisture content. Grain temperature rose to 450C within three weeks of storage. Temperature readings were taken in the morning and at evening times. Aeration system (fans) was operated several times, each time for long hours (≥5hours) enough to equalize temperature throughout the entire grain mass. Aeration fans were used to rapidly cool grain to 250C and then held it between 25 - 410C for over a year. The power requirement increased as air flow rate and grain depth increased. Aeration fans were controlled automatically from the operating control room while dehumidifiers were installed on the aeration fans. Loss recorded at manually operated metal silo was compared with the one from the silo monitored with computer software developed. While aeration could be used to lower grain temperature, minor changes took place on the moisture content of the grain mass. Loss was reduced to < 1% as against 5%. Aeration can be better monitored economically with the use of a computer system.

Published: June 2020

This paper investigated the geotechnical properties of lateritic soil with banana leaves ash. The natural soil sample was gotten from the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Nigeria, and were subjected to preliminary soil tests such as natural moisture content, specific gravity and atterberg limit at its natural state. Engineering tests such as compaction, california bearing ratio and unconfined compressive strength tests were also carried out on the lateritic soil at their natural states and at when the banana leaves ashes were added to the soil at varying proportions of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% by weight of soil. The result of the strength tests showed that the banana leaves ash enhanced the strength of the lateritic soil. The unsoaked CBR value of the soil at its natural state was 10.42 % and it got to optimum value of 28.10% by addition of 4% banana leaves ash by weight of soil. The unconfined compressive strength improved from 209.18 kN/m2 at natural state to 233.77 kN/m 2 at 4% banana leaves ashes. It was therefore concluded that the banana leaves ash satisfactorily act as cheap stabilizing agents for subgrade purposes.
Evaluation of the Effects of Independent Data Assignment (IDA) Method as a mean of Enhancing the Competence of Nigerian Engineering Students
Authors: Fapohunda Christopher , Akinbile Bolatito 
Published: June 2020

Understanding basic principles of engineering by students requires practise by hand calculation of simple problems which is usually accomplished through assignments. This paper reports the results of a method called Independent Data Assignment (IDA) which enables the teacher to generate multi-variables independent data for every student, many times in a teaching period, irrespective of the student population, in such a way that no two students have the same data set for any given assignment, by using the MS-Excel software package. Structural engineering was used as case study. The responses from the questionnaire administered were analysed from which it was found that 91.7% of the students agreed that it helped them in doing independent work and 95% said the method encouraged learning. It can thus be concluded that IDA is an effective tool for effective course delivery, and a model for teachers of courses in engineering with large class

Authors: Ndububa Olufunmilayo I , Ardo Abubakar U 
Published: June 2020

Lack of access to safe and adequate domestic water supplies contributes to poverty levels through the economic costs of poor health and the high proportion of household expenditure on safe water supplies. Gwallameji, a community on the outskirts of Bauchi town has no access to municipal water supply from Bauchi town, groundwater water, mainly hand dug wells are used as domestic water sources. The quality of water available from these hand dug wells in the community were determined by the physical, chemical and biological parameters of the water samples collected from domestic water points in the community. The results from the water samples were compared with World Health Organization (WHO) Standards for Drinking Water. High levels of Nitrate and Chromium above recommended levels from the standard were found in all water samples. Concentrations of Calcium highest value of 213mg/l and Magnesium a highest value of 22.02 mg/l at levels higher than recommended levels for drinking water were also obtained in all samples. It was recommended that restrictions on farming activities with use of fertilizers and location of latrines around domestic water sources should be enforced. Hand dug wells should be at a distance of at least 30m from soak away pits and pit latrines. Well lining and cover should be provided for all hand dug wells to reduce contamination of water from these sources. Increased and continued environmental interventions through public health education by community based health workers, awareness and sensitization campaigns should be carried out for improved household and community sanitation in the area.
