Examining implicit beliefs in a replication attempt of a time-reversed priming task
Authors: Schlitz Marilyn , Delorme Arnaud 
Published: January 2021

Background:Psi research is a controversial area of science that examines telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis (mind over matter). Central to the debate over the existence of psi is of whether independent investigators can replicate reportedly successful psi experiments. One important variable involves the beliefs of experimenters and participants. A preregistered experiment is presented that sought to replicate and extend previously published parapsychology experiments suggestive of precognition by examining implicit beliefs.Methods:On each trial of the standard (non-psi) priming task, a pleasant or unpleasant word (the "prime") is briefly shown on computer screen, followed immediately by a pleasant or unpleasant picture. Trials on which the image and the priming word have different valences are termed “Incongruent”; trials on which the picture and the priming word share a common valence are termed “Congruent”. Participants in such experiments typically respond more slowly on Incongruent trials than on Congruent trials. In this "time-reversed" psi version of the experiment, the presumed cause-effect sequence is reversed so that the prime is not flashed untilafterthe participant has already recorded his or her judgment. The experimental hypothesis remains the same: response times will be longer on trials with Incongruent prime/picture pairs than on trials with Congruent prime/picture pairs. Additionally, the study assesses expectations of success on the psi task of 32 experimenters—each testing 12 participants—using self-report questionnaires and the Implicit Association Task (IAT).Results:A significant correlation was found between the Implicit Association Test (IAT) effect and the participants’ reported beliefs in psi, with the effect in the direction opposite to the hypothesized correlation.Conclusions:This study offers an innovative approach to the role of beliefs in psi in a precognition study and speaks to the challenges of replication in controversial science.

Lipidomics increasingly describes the quantitation using mass spectrometry of all lipids present in a biological sample. As the power of lipidomics protocols increase, thousands of lipid molecular species from multiple categories can now be profiled in a single experiment. Observed changes due to biological differences often encompass large numbers of structurally-related lipids, with these being regulated by enzymes from well-known metabolic pathways. As lipidomics datasets increase in complexity, the interpretation of their results becomes more challenging. BioPAN addresses this by enabling the researcher to visualise quantitative lipidomics data in the context of known biosynthetic pathways. BioPAN provides a list of genes, which could be involved in the activation or suppression of enzymes catalysing lipid metabolism in mammalian tissues.

Background/Aims During the COVID-19 pandemic, inflammatory bowel disease clinics were converted to telephone clinics at St. Mark's Hospital in Harrow. This study assessed the response of patients and clinicians to remote telemedicine services, with the view of establishing whether there was scope for increasing the role of remote services in the inflammatory bowel disease clinics. Methods Clinicians administered a questionnaire to patients at the end of their appointments regarding their opinions on the telephone clinic format. Eleven questions used a 5-point Likert scale while a further three questions asked the patient for their comments on future clinics. Clinicians provided information about the patients' condition and management, as well as their own comments. Results Overall satisfaction with telephone clinics was found to be high among patients and clinicans, with many feeling that telephone clinics were more convenient. In total, 94.3% of patients said they would prefer either all telephone or a mix of phone and face-to-face clinics in the future. However, some patients felt that it was more complicated to have blood or stool tests done and roughly a quarter of patients were concerned that something could be missed without a physical examination. Conclusions High patient satisfaction can be achieved by delivering a mix of telephone, video and face-to-face clinics. In certain clinical situations, face-to-face clinics would be appropriate, such as patients with active diseases and first appointments. The pandemic is an opportunity respond to patients' preferences by increasing the range of remote care options.

We fabricate an extremely thin optical fiber that supports a super-extended mode with a diameter as large as 13 times the optical wavelength, residing almost entirely outside the fiber and guided over thousands of wavelengths (5 mm), to couple guided light to warm atomic vapor. This unique configuration balances between strong confinement, as evident by saturation powers as low as tens of nW, and long interaction times with the thermal atoms, thereby enabling fast and coherent interactions. We demonstrate narrow coherent resonances (tens of MHz) of electromagnetically induced transparency for signals at the single-photon level and long relaxation times (10 ns) of atoms excited by the guided mode. The dimensions of the guided mode’s evanescent field are compatible with the Rydberg blockade mechanism, making this platform particularly suitable for observing quantum nonlinear optics phenomena.

Danio reriohas firmly established itself as a successful model for research in many areas of biology and medicine, first of all for developing new medicines.
The aimof our study was to evaluate ghrelin level in zebrafish brain after stress and after phenazepam usage on stressed fish.
Methods.In our study 96Danio rerio, predatorCichlasoma nicaraguensishave been used. The fish have been kept at anormal room temperature (2223C) with standard feeding time (twice per day). The level of neuropeptides has been tested by ELISA test. During experiment a fish has been firstly placed in a beaker with a dissolved pharmacological substance, then has been transferred into a tank with predator. In the end of experiment, it has been put into a novel tank for 6 min. The decapitation has been made. Thebrain has been divided into three anatomical parts:telencephalonjust behind the olfactory bulb, the middle partcorpora bigemiaandcerebellum, which is situated behind thecorpora bigemia. After that the material for ELISA test was made using GhrelinFISH, MyBioSource ELISA kit.
Results.In the control group ghrelin has been determined only in thecerebellumin 57.14% of all fish. In the experiment with predator ghrelin has been found in all tested brain parts of fish, but in thetelencephalonthere was the highest level. Inthe experiment with phenazepam usage only and phenazepam administration after predator stress, the ghrelin value has not been determined atall.
Conclusion.Thus we have found out that the ghrelin value increases after predator stress and the drug phenazepam eliminated it completely after its administration. We may suppose that the administration of anxiolytics such as phenazepam can reduce the anxiety inDanio rerio.

50 anos de Arqueologia do Saber: as contribuições aos estudos da linguagem no Brasil

Michel Foucault, sem dúvida, representa um dos mais influentes intelectuais do século XXI. Embora tenha falecido em 1984, sua obra, como assinala Deleuze, nos deixou uma significativa caixa de ferramentas teórica, que ajuda a problematizar a verdade e a verticalizar a história do presente. Lido pelas mais diferentes áreas do conhecimento, seus livros, seus ditos e escritos extrapolaram as fronteiras disciplinares. Um dos aspectos importantes das análises de Michel Foucault sobre as condições de possibilidade do discurso é o modo como ele traz para suas análises a ideia de que o discurso é acontecimento, o que impõe que se recusem temas como origem, causalidade, espírito de época, por exemplo. A noção de acontecimento devolve aos discursos o seu caráter de irrupção, ao mesmo tempo em que sinaliza para uma fratura no arquivo.Foucault propôs um tipo de história diferente daquela que privilegiava os grandes sujeitos, a chamada macro-história. Deixou de olhar para as grandes batalhas, as importantes lutas de monarcas, para se voltar para os pequenos acontecimentos (a micro-história), que fazem a história mudar seu curso. História não mais reduzida ou referida a um desejo totalizante de um sujeito originário, mas história que se faz entre as relações discursivas, que coloca o sujeito não como centro, mas como disperso nas posições discursivas que assume no discurso.No ano de 2019, comemoramos os 50 anos da publicação de “A Arqueologia do Saber”, leitura fundamental para pesquisadores, professores e estudantes interessados nos estudos do discurso com Michel Foucault no Brasil. Neste livro, o autor se posiciona criticamente diante de um projeto positivista de história tradicional por meio de uma série de oposições. Assim, contrapondo-se a uma história que se desenvolve em uma continuidade linear e simples, o autor, fundamentado em Nietzsche, Bachelard e Canguilhem, propõe uma genealogia cujo motor é a descontinuidade.

Published: January 2021

Background and Objectives. Sample pooling of COViD-19 PCR tests has been recently proposed as a low-cost alternative to individual tests. This multi-site, laboratory-based, proof-of-concept study explores the feasibility of pooled SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR testing, by demonstrating the effect of pooling on sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, number of tests saved, and turnaround time.
Methodology. The research was conducted in two experiments. In Experiment 1, archival nasopharyngeal (NPS) and oropharyngeal (OPS) swab samples were diluted to simulate 5, 10, and 20 sized pools, and tested for SARS-CoV-2 RNA using RT-qPCR. In Experiment 2, actual nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab samples were collected from asymptomatic low-risk volunteers. Aliquots of the samples were pooled following the 5, 10-5, and 20-10-5 multi-staged Dorfman pooling methods and tested. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, test savings, and turnaround time for each pooling method were documented.
Results and Conclusions. The study provided evidence that pooling of NP and OP samples for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection using RT-qPCR is feasible and can be implemented in the Philippines. A 2-stage Dorfman 5 pooling strategy appears to be the best method, because it has the highest over-all accuracy, while still achieving acceptable test savings, and turnaround time. Pooling of nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab samples prior to RT-qPCR testing may be considered by select molecular diagnostic laboratories to further increase testing capacity and at the same time reduce the cost of testing.

Abstract
The spin polarization induced by the spin Hall eﬀect (SHE) in thin ﬁlms typically points out of the plane. This is rooted on the speciﬁc symmetries of traditionally studied systems, not in a fundamental constraint. Here, we show that the reduced symmetry of strong spin-orbit coupling materials such as MoTe2 or WTe2 enables a new form of canted spin Hall eﬀect (SHE), characterized by large and robust in-plane spin polarizations, which gives rise to an unprecedented charge-to-spin interconversion eﬀect. Through quantum transport calculations on realistic device geometries, including disorder, we found long spin diﬀusion lengths (λs) and a gate tunable charge-to-spin interconversion eﬃciency with an upper value reaching θxy ≈ 80%. The SHE ﬁgure of merit λsθxy ∼ 1–50 nm, can signiﬁcantly exceed values of conventional SHE materials, and stems from momentum-invariant (persistent) spin textures together with large spin Berry curvature along the Fermi contour. Speciﬁc guidelines for unambiguous experimental conﬁrmation are proposed, paving the way towards exploiting such phenomena in spintronic devices. These ﬁndings vividly emphasize how crystal symmetry and band topology can govern the intrinsic SHE, and how they may be exploited to broaden the range and eﬃciency of spintronic functionalities.
Microbe-Worm Symbiosis Stabilizes Methane Hydrates in Deep Marine Environments

Published: January 2021

Abstract
Our Planet has a natural ecosystem comprised of living organisms and methane hydrates in deep marine environments. This ecosystem was constructed in the present work to examine the influence that subtle temperature fluctuations could have on the dynamic stability of the hydrate deposits. The coupled mass and energy balance equations that describe the microbial bioreactions, their consumption by feather duster worms, and methane hydrate dissociation confirm that the bioreaction kinetics are dominated by endothermic methanogenic metabolism that stabilizes methane hydrates with a fragile tolerance to 0.001K temperature increases. The feather duster worms also stabilize the hydrates via their selective consumption of methanotrophs that could otherwise overtake the system by their exothermic metabolism. Critical ocean temperature limits exist, beyond which hydrate dissociations would cause underwater eruptions of methane into the sea. Historical ocean temperature records and gas hydrate inventory estimates combined with our model suggests that hydrate deposits as deep as 560-meters below sea level could already be at risk, whereas the methane hydrate stability zone will retreat deeper as ocean temperatures rise. Slowing its retreat could avoid the massive release of greenhouse gas.

Abstract
The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has led to lockdowns at national scales in the Spring of 2020. Large cuts in emissions occurred, but the quantitative assessment of their role from observations is hindered by weather variability. In order to circumvent this difficulty, we developed here an innovative analog methodology and applied it to a comprehensive in-situ dataset of primary and secondary pollutants obtained at the SIRTA observatory, a suburban background site of the Paris megacity (France). We find that concentrations of primary traffic dropped by 69-76% during the lockdown period. Further, the decrease of NOx triggered a decrease of particulate nitrate (-41%), one of the main springtime aerosol components in North-Western Europe. We reveal a threshold effect highlighting the need of substantial NOx decrease to affect particulate nitrate. At the same time, the expected ozone increase (+21%) underlines the negative feedback of NO titration. Finally, an increase of residential wood burning sporadically compensated primary traffic, and influenced the oxidation state of secondary organic aerosols. Our results provide a quasi-comprehensive observation-based insight on mitigation policies regarding air quality in future low-carbon urban areas.

Abstract
Sensitivity to low-energy photons in phase change materials enables the development of efﬁcient millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and terahertz (THz) detectors. Here, we present the concept of uncooled mm-wave detection based on the sensitivity of IMT threshold voltage to the incident wave by exploiting the characteristics of reversible insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) in Vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin ﬁlm devices. The detection concept is demonstrated through actuation of biased VO2 2-terminal switches encapsulated in a pair of coupled antennas on a Si/SiO2 substrate. We also study the behavior of VO2 switches interrupting coplanar waveguide (CPW)s. Ultimately, we propose an electromagnetic wave-sensitive voltage-controlled spike generator based on the VO2 switches in an astable circuit. The fabricated sensors show record ﬁgs. of merit, such as responsivities of around 66.3 kHz/mW with a low noise equivalent power (NEP) of 20 nW at room temperature, for a footprint of 2.5×10−5 mm2, which can be easily scaled. This solution gives 3 times better responsivity with only 1/10 footprint of the state of the art. However, the footprint is capable of being scaled down to few hundreds of nanometers. The responsivity in static measurements is 76 kV/W in the same circumstances. Based on experimental statistical data measured on robust fabricated devices, we investigate and report stochastic behavior and noise limits of VO2-based spiking sensors that are expected to form a new class of energy efﬁcient transducers. The results highlight the capability of VO2 phase transition to serve for building electromagnetic power sensors, that can be triggered by low energy photons.

Published: January 2021

Abstract
BackgroundThe purpose of this study is to explore the factors that affect the prognosis of overall survival (OS) and cancer special survival (CSS) in cervical cancer with stage IIIC1 and establish nomogram models to predict this prognosis.MethodsData from The Surveil-lance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program meeting the inclusion criterions were classified into training group, and data of validation were obtained from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from 2010 to 2019. The incidence, Kaplan‐Meier curves, OS and CSS of stage IIIC1 were evaluated according to the training group. Nomograms were established according to the results of univariate and multivariate Cox regression models. Harrell’s C-index and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were calculated to measure the accuracy of the prediction models. Calibration plots show the relationship between the predicted probability and the actual outcome. Decision-curve analysis (DCA) was applied to evaluate the clinical applicability of the constructed nomogram.ResultsThe incidence of pelvic lymph node metastasis, a high-risk factor for prognosis in cervical cancer, decreased slightly over time. There are eight independent prognostic variables for OS, including age, race, histology, differentiation, extension range, tumor size, radiation recode and surgery, but seven for CSS with age excluded. Nomograms of OS and CSS were established based on the results. The C-index for the nomograms of OS and CSS were 0.692, 0.689 respectively when random sampling of SEER data sets, and 0.706, 0.737 respectively when random sampling of external data sets. AUCs for the nomogram of OS were 0.648, 0.644 respectively, and 0.683, 0.675 for the nomogram of CSS. Calibration plots for the nomograms were almost identical to the actual observations. The DCA also proved the value of the two models.ConclusionAge, race, histology, differentiation, extension range, tumor size, radiation recode and surgery were all independent prognosis factors for OS. Only age excepts in CSS. OS and CSS nomograms were established in our study based on the result of multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression, and both own good predictive and clinical application value after validation.
