Authors: Helmlinger Birgit , Sommer Markus , Feldhammer-Kahr Martina , Wood Guilherme , Arendasy Martin E. , Kober Silvia E. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractIn the present study, we investigated neural processes underlying programming experience. Individuals with high programming experience might develop a form of computational thinking, which they can apply on complex problem-solving tasks such as reasoning tests. Therefore, N = 20 healthy young participants with previous programming experience and N = 21 participants without any programming experience performed three reasoning tests: Figural Inductive Reasoning (FIR), Numerical Inductive Reasoning (NIR), Verbal Deductive Reasoning (VDR). Using multi-channel EEG measurements, task-related changes in alpha and theta power as well as brain connectivity were investigated. Group differences were only observed in the FIR task. Programmers showed an improved performance in the FIR task as compared to non-programmers. Additionally, programmers exhibited a more efficient neural processing when solving FIR tasks, as indicated by lower brain activation and brain connectivity especially in easy tasks. Hence, behavioral and neural measures differed between groups only in tasks that are similar to mental processes required during programming, such as pattern recognition and algorithmic thinking by applying complex rules (FIR), rather than in tasks that require more the application of mathematical operations (NIR) or verbal tasks (VDR). Our results provide new evidence for neural efficiency in individuals with higher programming experience in problem-solving tasks.

Authors: Gurevich Naomi , Ramrattan Heidi , Kubalanza Mary , Osmelak Danielle R. , Boese Jenna 
Published: August 2020

Objectives
Older adults are at risk for age-related hearing loss and for dementia. Hearing loss increases the risk of dementia and accelerates cognitive decline. There is no cure for dementia, but hearing loss is treatable. Medical professionals who work with individuals with dementia are surveyed to explore whether recommendations made to individuals diagnosed with dementia include hearing assessments.

Method
A convenience sample of 85 medical professionals in California, Illinois, and Indiana responded to paper surveys in October 2018–April 2019.

Results
Of the 85 participants, 69 had some level of involvement with dementia. Of these, 16 (23%) reported recommending hearing assessment, and only one (1.45%) reported considering hearing assessment in the top three priorities of recommendations.

Conclusions
Hearing assessment is not currently a priority for the surveyed medical professionals who work with dementia populations. Advocacy is needed to close the gap between research and practice.

Authors: Leal‐Junior A. , Díaz C. , Frizera A. , Mergo P. , Marques C. 
Published: August 2020

This Letter presents the mechanical analysis of polymethyl methacrylate microstructured polymer optical fibres drawn at different pressures. The fibres were drawn at 200, 400 and 600 mmH2 O, where all the samples have a diameter close to 250 µm. Tensile tests were performed in five samples of each drawing pressure and the statistical analysis was applied to Young's modulus, yield stress, strain at breakage and Poisson's ratio of each sample. Results show a statistically significant increase of Young's modulus with the increase in drawing pressure, whereas the strain at breakage presented the opposite behaviour, with its values decreasing as the drawing pressure increases. Furthermore, the Poisson's ratio, as well as, the yield stress do not show a statistically significant variation with the different drawing pressure analysed.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Background The neonatal period can be associated with a multitude of
medical and social problems. Little is known about the reasons that lead to
neonatal readmissions in a pediatric hospital and their individual outcomes.
Objective To record the diagnosis of neonatal admissions in a pediatric
hospital after discharge from a maternity unit. Predictive parameters are to be
identified and a possible trend over the years is to be examined.
Methods The medical history of newborns admitted to a pediatric hospital
in the Rhine-Main area from 01/01/2004 to
31/12/2013 was retrospectively analyzed based on provided
medical files.
Results The data of 2851 newborns was recorded. 72% of the
patients were delivered by vaginal birth. During the period under examination,
there was a certain fluctuation although no significant trend in the number of
admissions per year (p=0.062). The most frequent primary diagnoses were
jaundice (27%), newborn infection (12.4%), and feeding problems
(12.3%). Exclusively breastfed newborns had fewer feeding problems than
newborns with a mixed or purely formula diets (p < 0.001).
Conclusions The results of this study showed that the hospital
readmissions of newborns throughout the years did not increase. Unfortunately,
owing to the retrospective character of the study, it is not possible to make a
clear statement as to whether hospitalization can be prevented with more
intensive preventative measures. A prospective study on this matter is being
planned.
On the translation of Japanese politeness into Cantonese
Authors: Shih Pei Chun 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This paper utilizes the reconstructive nature of translation to examine how formal (neutral and honorific) and
plain forms of Japanese are represented in Cantonese dubbing with the aim of exploring some common politeness features of
Cantonese that the translator adopts in order to compensate for the difference between the two languages. Address terms that do
not exist in the Japanese original, for example deferential terms and kinship terms, are inserted in Cantonese dubbing to
represent different speech levels of Japanese. This paper further argues that such inserted address terms help to realize
politeness by either recognizing the superior status of addressees or by including an addressee as an in-group member. Some cases
of insertions also suggest strategic adoption of address terms in Cantonese. In addition to observing social norms and addressing
each other appropriately, Cantonese speakers can also exploit address terms strategically to achieve specific pragmatic goals.
The Wheel of Time
Authors: Li Heng , Cao Yu 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Previous research suggests that both patterns in orthography and cultural-specific associations of space-time affect how
people map space onto time. In the current study, we focused on Chinese Buddhists, an understudied population, investigating how religious
experiences influence their mental representations of time. Results showed that Chinese Buddhists could represent time spatially
corresponding to left-to-right, right-to-left and top-to-bottom orientations in their religious scripts. Specifically, they associated
earlier events with the starting point of the reading and later times with the endpoint. We also found that Chinese Buddhists were more
likely to represent time in a clockwise way than Chinese atheists. This is because Buddhism regards time as cyclic and consisting of
repeating ages (i.e. Wheel of Time). Taken together, we provide first psychological evidence that Chinese Buddhists’ spatial representations
of time are different from atheists’, due to their religious experiences, namely, both the reading direction in Buddhist texts and Buddhist
concepts of time.

Post-consumption foamed polystyrene coatings for surface tension modification
Authors: Bustos N , Gamarra C , Ponton D , Roa M 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Foamed polystyrene, commercially known as Icopor, occupies a very important place in the transport systems, and conservation of freight and food, but it is also one of the main polymeric pollutants, due to its low biodegradability, and low reuse. Polystyrene has in its structure aromatic and aliphatic functional groups, which have a high hydrophobicity, which makes them candidates as modifiers of permeability and surface properties, although for this purpose the implementation of solvents is also required. In the following work, polystyrene residues for domestic and food use were used to obtain coatings, which allow surface tension to be modified, on surfaces with high water permeability. For this purpose, the polymeric residue was dissolved in organic type solvents, generating a varnish, which was used to coat the study surface, from which the surface tension with respect to water was previously known by analysing the contact angle; to be compared with those obtained after coating, resulting in an increase in the contact angle, which indicates an increase in surface tension, conferred on the new surface hydrophobicity.

Published: August 2020

AbstractThe objective of this study to evaluate by physicochemical and statistical analysis the compositional quality of milk-based on the constituents of fat, protein, and non-fat solids in dairy cattle located in the “Ocaña, Norte de Santander, Colombia”. Having a total of 905 dairy controls in 15 females with double milking/day throughout breastfeeding, the descriptive statistics were subsequently calculated. The average values for the percentage of fat, protein, and non-fat solids were 4.1%, 2.9%, and 8.2% with a standard deviation of 0.957, 0.210, and 0.555 respectively. The physical and chemical components of milk were found in the range stipulated by studies focused on milk yield and quality. On the other hand, it is concluded that the variation obtained in the constituents, is within the expected for the region and the species. It is also suggested that the variations of these constituents may be associated with factors such as the stage of lactation and quality of forages in winter and summer.

Authors: Perez-Rangel N Y , Arévalo-Ruedas J H , Florez-Solano E 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
There are different types of traditional materials for insulation in different processes such as: clay, limestone, ceramic foams, among others, used mainly in furnaces and buildings, whose function is to reduce heat and acoustic noise transfer through the structure on which they are installed. Alternatives for insulation with reusable and organic materials are currently being sought. In this work, the physical property of the thermal conductivity of materials such as quartz, glass, bone, and coconut shells were analyzed in order to compare their thermal conductivity measured experimentally with respect to that reported theoretically, and determine if they are suitable for use in the market and also to have a foundation that allows subsequent processes to mix them, giving way to new insulating or refractory materials with better physical properties.

Authors: Gallardo Pérez H J , Vergel Ortega M , Villamizar Jaimes D 
Published: August 2020

AbstractPedagogical practice allows teachers to focus their attention on three types of knowledge: disciplinary knowledge: what do I know, pedagogical knowledge: how do I communicate what I know, and academic knowledge: how do I transform myself with what I know? Thus, the teacher has the capacity to transform not only his or her students, but to transform himself or herself in the process. In this sense, the research aims to characterize the pedagogical practice of physics teachers in educational institutions located in the “Catatumbo, Colombia”, a region characterized by high levels of violence and very specific social situations; it also aims to determine the influence of training at the master’s level of the Francisco de Paula Santander University on teachers working in the area of physics. The research, framed in the mixed paradigm, allows the realization of univariate and multivariate analysis of variables inherent to the process of training and professional action of master teachers, as well as the categorization of their experiences resulting from the application of knowledge obtained throughout their studies in their professional practice and training in different areas of knowledge, emphasizing the practices, laboratories and teaching strategies used in the training of students by physics teachers.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Aimed at the improvement of ability of the high altitude test (HAT) facility for rocket engine, a new designed secondary-throat diffuser with ejection of low total pressure and supersonic cold air is proposed. The main structural characteristic of the new-designed diffuser is that: a groove is added to the start of the secondary throat of diffuser, and the supersonic cold air with low total pressure is ejected into diffuser to form the gas film, which leads to a reduction of the wall temperature and thermal load of the new-designed diffuser, and an improvement of the ability of diffuser holding shock train. The effects of cold air on flow characteristics and performance of diffuser are numerically investigated in detail under different conditions including total pressure and Mach number. The results show that the wall temperature along the diffuser increases with an increase of Mach number, and decreases with an increase of total pressure; with an increase of Mach number, the starting position of pressure rise moves upstream to the inlet of diffuser; and with an increase of total pressure, the starting position of pressure rise moves downstream to the end of diffuser.

New Understanding of the Retention Mechanism of “Residual Oil in the Form of Oil Droplets (or Oil Column)”
Authors: Dai Jinyou , Lin Lixin 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Based on the oil-water two-phase liquid flow model, with equal-viscosity and water-wet unequal-diameter parallel channels, the previous researches on the retention mechanism of “residual oil in the form of oil droplets or oil column” during water flooding, and they stated that “residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)”can be retained in both large and small channels. Re-examination of the model shows that “residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)” cannot be retained in large channels, but only in small channels. By changing the wettability and oil-water viscosity (variable viscosity) of this model, the small channel retention characteristics of “residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)” remain unchanged. This research shows that: (1) When the oil-water phase flows in the unequal-diameter parallel channel model, the flow velocity of the large channel is always greater than the small channel, and the “residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)” is always retained in the small channel. (2) The retention of small channels of “residual oil in the form of oil droplets (or oil column)” is general, and is not affected by changes in factors such as pressure difference, capillary force, total flow, wettability, and oil-water viscosity ratio.
