Herd immunization with childhood vaccination may provide protection against COVID-19
Authors: Yu Yongqiang 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIt may take time to obtain a vaccine for the current COVID-19, and the virus genome may keep an evolution and mutations, so a universal and effective vaccine for the coronavirus may not be possible. Epidemiological studies reveal the infection of SARS and COVID-19 in children is less frequent and less severe than in adults. Childhood vaccine-mediated cross cellular immunity and immunomodulation might provide protection against the infections of COVID-19. These data suggest that herd immunization with children vaccines in adults may improve the adult cross cellular immunity and immunomodulation and improve their clinical presentation and prognosis. This can be also useful to cope with future pandemics.
A pozitív élmények feldolgozásának (savoring) jelentősége a daganatos megbetegedések komplex terápiájában
Authors: Pálinkóné Várszegi Andrea , Lassú F. Zsuzsa 
Published: October 2020

A témában megjelenő friss kutatási eredmények összefoglalásával arra kerestük a választ, hogy a pozitív élmények feldolgozása (savoring) milyen jelentőséggel bír a daganatos megbetegedések komplex terápiájában. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy a savoring nem csak a boldog élet egyik nélkülözhetetlen összetevője. Azokban a stresszel teli időszakokban is fontos erőforrásként szolgálhat - mind a páciens, mind pedig az őt ápoló hozzátartozók életében is -, mint amilyet az életet veszélyeztető, daganatos betegségek is jelentenek. A pozitív tapasztalások „ízlelgetése" képes csökkenteni a megbetegedéssel kapcsolatos szorongásos és depresszív tüneteket, az érzelmi distresszt, valamint növelni a pozitív érzelmi állapotot, és az élettel és párkapcsolattal való elégedettséget is. Az említésre kerülő eredmények, valamint savoring intervenciós lehetőségek akár a hazai onkopszichológiai ellátás területén is új színfoltot jelenthetnek.By reviewing the results of recent researches we aimed to highlight the importance of savoring in the complex therapy of cancer. These results show that savoring is not only an essential component of a happy life, but it can also be an important resource in stressful periods and serious illness as the life-threatening cancer, both for the patient and for his relatives and caregivers. Savoring can reduce, among others, illness-related anxiety, depression, emotional distress and increase positive emotional and life satisfaction as well as relationship satisfaction. The mentioned results, as well as the potential of savoring interventions, may represent a new approach in the field of Hungarian oncopsychological care as well.
Verbi a supporto nel latino tardo: il caso di facio
Authors: Galdi Giovanbattista 
Published: October 2020

SummarySupport verb constructions are documented throughout the history of Latin. These syntagms are characterized by the presence of a support verb with a more or less reduced semantic force, and a predicative (abstract or verbal) noun that often constitutes its direct object. The present contribution deals, specifically, with the use of facio as a support verb (as in bellum facere, iter facere, insidias facere etc.), focussing on the post-classical and late period. Two main questions shall be discussed: (a) whether, and if so, how facio becomes more productive in later centuries in both non-Christian and Christian sources; (b) what type of semantic evolution the verb undergoes in later Latin and whether, in this respect, continuity or rupture should be assumed with regard to the earlier period. This last point will enable us to suggest a more convincing explanation of an often-quoted passage of Cicero (Phil. 3. 22), in which the expression contumeliam facere is found.
Latinophonie altimédiévale en italie méridionale Étude des démonstratifs dans les chartes. Le cas de IPSE
Authors: Płocharz Piotr 
Published: October 2020

SummaryThis article proposes a quantitative study of the Latin demonstratives as found in the private and original charters of written in Italy between the 8th and 10th century. It also contains a brief qualitative study of the demonstrative IPSE. Our analysis shows that the evolution of the demonstratives in the charters corresponds to their evolution in the spoken language. These analyses also appear to foreshadow the 11th and 12th century Renaissance which occurred in southern Italy and which is perhaps comparable to the Carolingian Renaissance in Gaul. The qualitative analysis of IPSE demonstrates that the grammaticalization of this demonstrative had not acquired the critical point after which it could be treated as a definite article. Aebischer’s hypothesis that IPSE and ILLE functioned as two variants acting in synonymy should therefore be rejected
Using the fractional order calculus in the combination of the MIT and Lyapunov stability method
Authors: Coman Simona , Boldisor Cristian 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe main idea of the current paper consists in introducing the fractional order calculus in a control system. To control the system, an adaptive control technique with reference model is used. The fractional order models for the plant and reference model are obtained. To achieve the performances imposed by the fractional order reference model, a fractional order adaptive control law is proposed, which is a combination of two methods (MIT and Lyapunov stability). The original contribution in this paper is the use of fractional order calculus in the combined MIT and Lyapunov stability method and showing the dynamic behavior of the system. Several simulations are used to emphasize the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed method.
Should compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) be considered as a behavioral addiction? A debate paper presenting the opposing view
Authors: Sassover Eli , Weinstein Aviv 
Published: October 2020

AbstractBackground and aimsCompulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) has been a long debated issue. While formerly the discussion was about whether to regard CSBD as a distinctive disorder, the current debate is dealing with the classification of this phenomenon. One of the prominent voices in this field considers CSBD as a behavioral addiction and proposes CSBD to be called and diagnosed as sexual addiction (SA). This present debate paper will review the existing evidence supporting this view and it will argue against it.ResultsWe have found that a great deal of the current literature is anecdotal while empirical evidence is insufficient. First, the reports about the prevalence of CSBD are contradictory. Additionally, the field mainly suffers from inconsistent defining criteria of CSBD and a consensus which symptoms should be included. As a result, the empirical evidence that does exist is mostly about some symptoms individually and not on the disorder as a whole construct.ConclusionsWe conclude that currently, there is not enough data supporting CSBD as a behavioral addiction. Further research has to be done, examining CSBD phenomenology as a whole construct and based on a homogeneous criterion.
Comparing football bettors' response to social media marketing differing in bet complexity and account type – An experimental study
Authors: Houghton Scott , Moss Mark 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Background and aims
The current study aimed to assess how sports bettors respond to advertised bets on social media and whether this differs dependent upon bet complexity and social media account type.

Methods
Employing a 3 × 2 repeated measures design, 145 regular football bettors were recruited to take part in an online study requiring them to rate bets advertised upon social media, providing indications of their likelihood to bet, confidence in the bet and how much they would stake on the bet. Advertised bets differed in terms of complexity (low, medium and high) and each bet was presented separately on both an operator account and an affiliate account.

Results
Data analysis highlighted a significant interaction between bet complexity and account type, with bettors rating themselves as being more likely to bet and more confident in bets which were presented on an affiliate account for medium complexity bets but not for low or high complexity bets.

Discussion and conclusions
This study provides initial evidence that affiliate marketing of sports betting increases bettor's confidence in certain types of bets. This heightens previously addressed concerns around affiliate marketing, given that affiliates are financially incentivised to attract custom toward gambling operators. Future research should explore risk factors for increased uptake of affiliate marketing, and the impact on gambling behaviour.
Experimental effects of acute exercise on forgetting
Authors: Moore D.C. , Ryu S. , Loprinzi P.D. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractObjectivePrior research has evaluated the effects of acute exercise on episodic memory function. These studies have, on occasion, demonstrated that acute exercise may enhance both short- and long-term memory. It is uncertain as to whether the acute exercise improvements in long-term memory are a result of acute exercise attenuating declines in long-term memory, or rather, are driven by the enhancement effects of acute exercise on short-term memory. The present empirical study evaluates whether the decline from short- to long-term is influenced by acute exercise. This relationship is plausible as exercise has been shown to activate neurophysiological pathways (e.g., RAC1) that are involved in the mechanisms of forgetting.MethodsTo evaluate the effects of acute exercise on forgetting, we used data from 12 of our laboratory's prior experiments (N = 538). Across these 12 experiments, acute exercise ranged from 10 to 15 mins in duration (moderate-to-vigorous intensity). Episodic memory was assessed from word-list or paragraph-based assessments. Short-term memory was assessed immediately after encoding, with long-term memory assessed approximately 20-min later. Forgetting was calculated as the difference in short- and long-term memory performance.ResultsAcute exercise (vs. seated control) was not associated with an attenuated forgetting effect (d = 0.10; 95% CI: −0.04, 0.25, P = 0.17). We observed no evidence of a significant moderation effect (Q = 6.16, df = 17, P = 0.17, I2 = 0.00) for any of the evaluated parameters, including study design, exercise intensity and delay period.ConclusionAcross our 12 experimental studies, acute exercise was not associated with an attenuated forgetting effect. We discuss these implications for future research that evaluates the effects of acute exercise on long-term memory function.
Application of the capillary method in micro X-ray diffractometry (µ-XRD): A useful technique for the characterization of small amounts of clay minerals

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe laboratory micro X-ray diffraction (μ-XRD) technique is a suitable method to study minerals in-situ in whole-rock specimens without any sample preparation or in polished thin sections, and even in small amounts in powdered form. The micro X-ray diffraction method uses the conventional, closed-tube X-ray generator, but modifications were needed in the diffraction column, sample holder and detector in order to achieve μ-XRD capability.In this paper, we present a case study of the capillary method used in µ-XRD on hydrothermal clay mineral assemblages that formed in the Velence Mts (Hungary). The capillary method in µ-XRD has many advantages in the investigation of small amounts of clay minerals: (1) easy and rapid preparation of randomly oriented, powdered samples; (2) rapid measurements; (3) accurate diffraction patterns. By using the capillary method, the formation of preferred orientation can be eliminated; thus the (hkl) reflection of the clay minerals can be precisely measured. Illite polytype quantification and the investigation of (060) reflection of clay minerals can be used satisfactorily in µ-XRD.Hydrothermal clay mineral assemblages are indicative of temperature and pH. Their examination can determine the physicochemical parameters of the hydrothermal fluids that interacted with the host granite in the Velence Mts. The analyzed hydrothermal clay minerals from the western part of the mountains suggest lower temperatures (150–200 °C) and intermediate pH conditions. In contrast, the clay mineral assemblages' characteristics for the eastern part of the mountains indicate more intense argillization and higher temperatures (∼220 °C) and intermediate pH conditions.
Apéndices interrogativos de control de contacto en el habla de inmigrantes colombianos en Madrid
Authors: Cestero Mancera Ana M. 
Published: October 2020

Since the early 20th century reference has been made to the existence of a phatic or contact function in human communication, although only recently has it begun to be studied in depth. This function is realised through the use of various verbal and non-verbal resources with different ends: to ensure that the communication channel is open and working; to initiate, prolong or end communication; and to attract the interlocutor’s attention. With a view to understanding better how phatic resources work, what functions they perform in interaction, and how they are influenced by certain social (sex, age, education) and geolectal factors, we are currently engaged in a socio-pragmatic study which will enable us to document general and variable behaviour patterns. Focusing on the first of those subfunctions, this paper analyses the appearance of contact control question tags in the Colombian immigrant sub-corpus of the Dynamic Corpus of Immigrant Spanish (Corpus Dinámico del Español de la Inmigración –CORDIESIN). The results provide us with a first approximation to which verbal resources (question tags) are most commonly used by Colombians resident in Madrid and how they function. They also permit us to make some comparison with the corresponding state of affairs in the speech of Spanish Madrilenians, the upshot being that there is convergence with the host community.

Customer- Care: Is it really impactful on Service Organizations?
Authors: Ayambire Clement Nyaaba 
Published: October 2020

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of customer care on the profitability of service firms in the Banking Sector in Ghana.
Design/Methodology: The study adopted a mixed method approach to establish whether or not customer care program has had any impact on the operations of service organizations; where the moment of truth encounter is highly evident. An interview guide and a questionnaire were used to interview the bank manager and the customer relationship officer of Bongo Rural Bank Ltd and administered the questions on two hundred and fifty (250) customers including eight (8) employees of the bank. The books of the bank were also examined to assess the number of people who had benefited from the bank’s loan scheme.
Findings: The study found that the bank was doing an excellent work since almost all the customers were satisfied with the services of the bank; and the attitudes of its employees. The satisfied customers recommended the bank to others and hence increased the customer base and profitability.
Research Limitation: The research was limited to Bongo Rural Bank Ltd. Though the study was limited to the bank, the findings are applicable to all service financial institutions and non financial institutions in Ghana since the needs of the bank’s customers and the customers of other banks are homogeneous.
Practical Implications: The employees and other important stakeholders of banks think that customer care is the sole responsibility of the marketing department rather than all members of the entire organization. The present study encourages all organizational members to systematically think of the customer in their respective area of service since customers can call on anyone of the firm at anytime.
Originality/Value: The current empirical study makes an original contribution to the extant literature by adding knowledge of customer care in the context of service organizations, where the moment of truth is highly evident.
Assessing satisfaction among Islamic Bank Customers’ in Bangladesh
Authors: Nawreen Kashrima , Shahimi Suhaily 
Published: October 2020

This study is conducted to assess the level of customer satisfaction in Islamic banks from the context of Bangladesh. In the process, 300 questionnaires were distributed, and 236 were returned completed. The results of the questionnaire analysis reveal that there is significant relationship between three of the independent variables, namely- tangible products, personnel service quality and level of commitment to customer satisfaction. In contrast, level of compassion does not have a significant relationship with customer satisfaction. The analyses further reveal that the respondents were satisfied with the overall Islamic Banks’ infrastructure operating in Bangladesh, and most of the respondents did not have intentions to switch to the conventional counterparts. However, the main reason for the account holders to switch to Islamic banks is because they wanted to deal with Shahriah compliant banking. The analyses also indicate that a significant percentage of the respondents have accounts with both Islamic banks and conventional banks. The study has suggested that Islamic Banks should enhance Shahriah compliant framework to generate more income, experience speedy growth, and remain sustainable in the long run.

Published: October 2020

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of 16 retired teachers, 60 years and older, with pension benefits and had an involvement in a bridge employment. Through in-depth interviews of 10 informants and focused group discussion of six participants, the data were gathered and subjected to thematic analysis. The results revealed that the retired teachers decided to take bridge employment for reasons of financial security, passion for the teaching profession, pleasure and satisfaction, ease and simplicity, and need to be relevant and of service. Their coping strategies included making their bridge job simple and uncomplicated, planning and preparation, updating and relearning, being pliant and flexible, resourceful and creative, and securing family assistance and support. The insights they shared conveyed their self-realizations to be financially astute and prudent, internalize that retirement is just a phase in life, and continue to long for life’s meaning and significance, and celebrate life and move on. What is notable in this study is the participants’ being still active and generative, their resiliency to face the challenges, and their insights of wisdom, hope, and faith.
