Fourth Industrial Revolution: Competencies of Potential Leaders
Authors: AlMazrouei Sultan Ali Suleiman 
Published: April 2021

Fourth industrial revolution would have strong impact on services and working environment so that a new philosophy should be applied to manage organization resources. Educational leaders need certain competencies to respond swiftly to new developments and their implications in their organizations. Thus, this research undertake a systematic literature review to shed light on the characteristics of fourth industrial revolution and the required competencies of educational leaders in this era.
The results of literature emphasized the importance of high communication rate. Employees should be connected in a network regardless of their positions. They need to connect together with heads, hearts, and hands and have positive emotions to overcome challenges they confront. Building relationships with all stakeholders are also important. Understanding individuals’ personalities is the key to change and control their attitudes and behaviours through changing their environment. The values and morale of organizations and leaders are important to maximize performance of employees.
Furthermore, some researches highlighted that some practices eliminate the change process. For example, having politics and discrimination between employees, and ignoring employees’ emotions will hinder the progress of organization. Hierarchical structure of organization inhibits organization transformation and progress. Therefore, there must be strategic planning along with appropriate skills, abilities and adequate resources to implement and sustain the change to meet fourth industrial revolution.

Published: April 2021

Failure of leadership and inefficient utilisation of human capital have continued to agitate the minds of researchers and managers alike in Nigeria. Therefore, this paper evaluated the relationship between leadership development and human capital condition of non-metallic product manufacturing firms registered with Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) in South East, Nigeria. A survey research design was used for the study. A sample size of 310 was utilized and drawn from a population of 2862 personnel. Data collected were presented in tables and were further analysed using mean scores and standard deviation, and the hypotheses were tested using the F-statistic. Three major findings were made, namely: that there was significant positive relationship between leadership skills and employee output at work of non-metallic product manufacturing firms in South East, Nigeria [ F(4,20 = 13.07771), p < 0.05]; there was significant positive relationship between managers’ level of education and operational cost of non-metallic product manufacturing firms in South East, Nigeria [ F(4,20 = 19.89737), p < 0.05] and that there was a significant positive relationship between leadership training and team building and or cohesion among staff of non-metallic product manufacturing firms in South East, Nigeria [ F(4,20 = 15.98143), p < 0.05,5]. Hence, it was concluded that there was positive relationship between leadership development and human capital condition of non-metallic product manufacturing firms in South-East, Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that management of non-metallic manufacturing firms in South-East, Nigeria, should install and implement regular staff training and retraining programmes, coupled with robust staff welfare/reward packages, which motivate them for optimum productivity.

Published: April 2021

This study looks at the economic, political, environmental, cultural, technological, legal, and ethical macro-environmental forces which impact globalization Pre-2018. Key events are examined as indicators of the state of globalization around the world. The examination of globalization centers on these key events in the United States and Saudi Arabia. The issues that rose out these events are used to interpret whether the state of globalization is influenced. The issues of economic class, unemployment, CEO compensation, The Kyoto Protocol, the rise of social media, and Saudi Arabia’s joining the WTO are examined based on their influence on the state of globalization. The study concludes that convergence of cultures, based on nation-states’ responses to the arbitrage of information in the areas of economies, politics, environment, law, culture, and ethics has is a real influence on the state of globalization. The negative or positive effects of globalization are irrelevant in comparison to the actions taking by nation-states in response to key events.
A New Model of Unified Psychology
Authors: Kopsov Igor 
Published: April 2021

There exist several unassertive schools of unified psychology which attempt to consolidate divided psychology perspectives by offering equally contentious hypothetical constructs. At the same time, all psychology doctrines are in essence based on an identical premise as they all study human behavior. Accordingly, we approach the unification of psychology through the lenses of the originally proposed algorithm of human behavior, which is defined as a sequence of steps and feedback mechanisms. The algorithm is assessed from the standpoint of the six main psychology perspectives (behavioral, biological, cognitive, humanistic, psychoanalytical, and social). The primary attributes of the perspectives are projected onto the schematics of the algorithm and paired with its elements. We postulate that the algorithm reflects the fundamental premise of each of the individual perspectives, and in doing so integrates them into a single concept of human behavior. The model does not compromise the integrity of various schools of thought, but rather provides a framework uncovering their integrational potential and strengths. The model – unlike typical narrative canon – is compact, analytic, and adaptable to new data. Despite being based on formal logic it is able to shed light on such fundamental issues as human nature, relation between body and mind, relation between humans and nonhuman animals, and unity of experience.

Published: April 2021

Insurance is one of the systematic solutions to risk reduction available in the modern world. Its contribution to socio-economic development is difficult to overestimate, bearing in mind that the level of diversity and inclusion of the sector explains the degree of financial progress of a nation. This paper has a twofold objectives of ascertaining and discussing an overview of theories that stimulate economic performance from the angles of institutions and innovation. Keywords were used to search literature repository with the aid of Harzing’s publish or perish software. As a result of this process, the New Institutional Economics (NIE) and Schumpeter’s theory of Innovation found suitable to the objectives of the study. The paper concludes that efficient institutions coupled with the emergence of the novel products may likely promote trust and confidence in the market as well as specific needs of the large majority unserved potential consumers. Therefore, interaction between institutions and innovation could likely trigger insurance uptake.

Abstract
Thomas, C, Dos'Santos, T, Warmenhoven, J, and Jones, PA. Between-limb differences during 180° turns in female soccer players: application of statistical parametric mapping. J Strength Cond Res 36(11): 3136–3142, 2022—This study was exploratory in nature and investigated the ability of statistical parametric mapping (SPM) to assess between-limb differences in lower-extremity movement change of direction. Fourteen female soccer players (mean ± SD; age = 20.6 ± 0.6 years; height = 1.65 ± 0.07 m; and body mass = 56.04 ± 6.20 kg). For comparisons between preferred and nonpreferred limbs, vertical (Fz) and horizontal (Fx) ground reaction force were determined along with hip, knee, and ankle angles and moments in the sagittal plane during weight acceptance during the final contact. In addition, frontal plane knee abduction angles and moments were calculated during the final contact. Statistical parametric mapping software was then used to assess for differences between the entire weight acceptance phase of preferred and nonpreferred limbs. There were no differences between limbs in all variables using SPM. These results demonstrate that female soccer players exhibit little side-to-side differences in certain lower-limb biomechanics when performing a turn maneuver. These findings can be utilized by practitioners and clinicians when developing injury prevention and rehabilitation programs.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Social distancing and sheltering-in-place mitigate the physical health risks of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19); however, there are concerns about the impact on mental health and social engagement. Methods: We used data from a U.S.-based online survey (March 2020) to examine patterns of social support and prosocial behavior, explore differences between people with and without depression or anxiety, and explore correlates of social engagement in both groups, including symptom severity in the clinical group. Results: The clinical group reported greater social engagement. In both groups, social engagement was positively associated with COVID-19-related worry and trait moral elevation; mindfulness was positively associated with all outcomes for the clinical group only. Social interaction frequency had little influence on outcomes. Depressive symptom severity was positively associated with all outcomes, whereas anxiety was negatively associated with prosocial behavior. Discussion: These findings highlight how social engagement was experienced early in the U.S. COVID-19 crisis.
Is There Sufficient Evidence for Criticality in Cortical Systems?
Authors: Destexhe Alain , Touboul Jonathan D. 
Published: April 2021

AbstractNumerous studies have proposed that specific brain activity statistics provide evidence that the brain operates at a critical point, which could have implications for the brain’s information processing capabilities. A recent paper reported that identical scalings and criticality signatures arise in a variety of different neural systems (neural cultures, cortical slices, anesthetized or awake brains, across both reptiles and mammals). The diversity of these states calls into question the claimed role of criticality in information processing. We analyze the methodology used to assess criticality and replicate this analysis for spike trains of two non-critical systems. These two non-critical systems pass all the tests used to assess criticality in the aforementioned recent paper. This analysis provides a crucial control (which is absent from the original study) and suggests that the methodology used may not be sufficient to establish that a system operates at criticality. Hence whether the brain operates at criticality or not remains an open question and it is of evident interest to develop more robust methods to address these questions.
An Open Source Platform for Presenting Dynamic Visual Stimuli
Authors: Swanson Kyra , White Samantha R. , Preston Michael W. , Wilson Joshua , Mitchell Meagan , Laubach Mark 
Published: April 2021

AbstractOperant behavior procedures often rely on visual stimuli to cue the initiation or secession of a response, and to provide a means for discriminating between two or more simultaneously available responses. While primate and human studies typically use Liquid-Crystal Display (LCD) or Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) monitors and touch screens, rodent studies use a variety of methods to present visual cues ranging from traditional incandescent light bulbs, single LEDs, and, more recently, touch screen monitors. Commercially available systems for visual stimulus presentation are costly, challenging to customize, and are typically closed source. We developed an open-source, highly-modifiable visual stimulus presentation platform that can be combined with a 3D-printed operant response device. The device uses an 8 × 8 matrix of LEDs, and can be expanded to control much larger LED matrices. Implementing the platform is low-cost (<$70 USD per device in the year 2020). Using the platform, we trained rats to make nosepoke responses and discriminate between two distinct visual cues in a location-independent manner. This visual stimulus presentation platform is a cost-effective way to implement complex visually-guided operant behavior, including the use of moving or dynamically changing visual stimuli.
“A Handful of Loose Beads”
Authors: Coté Amy 
Published: April 2021

Amy Coté, “‘A Handful of Loose Beads’: Catholicism and the Fictional Autobiography in Charlotte Brontë’s Villette” (pp. 473–494)
This essay considers the influence of confession as a Catholic liturgical sacrament and as a literary genre informing the fictional autobiography in Charlotte Brontë’s Villette (1853). In her earlier novel Jane Eyre (1847), Brontë used the tradition of Protestant spiritual autobiography as a literary genre focused on the individual’s spiritual development. Villette, written as it was at the height of a wave of anti-Catholic sentiment in England in the 1840s and 1850s, has understandably been read as a nationalistic rebuke of Catholicism. This essay complicates this narrative, and shows how Brontë looks to Catholic liturgical traditions, most notably the sacrament of confession, to trouble the generic conventions of the Protestant spiritual autobiography and, by extension, of fictional autobiography.
Âşık Tarzı Müzik Geleneğine Paralel Yorumlar: Barış Manço
Authors: ÇINAR Sevilay 
Published: April 2021

Bir edebiyat geleneği bilinciyle dile getirilen duyguların, müzikal ifade ile bütünlük kazanmasıdır Âşık Müziği. Bu müzik kültürü içerisinde; sözsel ifade, bir edebiyat geleneği bilincini gerektirdiği gibi, müzikal ifade de gelişmiş bir müzik belleği gerektirir. Müzik belleği ise âşıkların içinde bulundukları çeşitli kültür ortamlarında yer alan ezgi kalıplarından, âşıkların birikim ve yetenekleri doğrultusundaki müzik zevklerinden oluşur ve yine âşıkların yaşam koşulları, icra ortamları doğrultusunda zenginleşir. Bu hususta âşıklar, içinde bulundukları ve temas halinde oldukları kültür ortamlarının müzik kalıplarına sadık kalırlarken, bu kalıplara paralel olarak kendi stillerini yaratırlar.	Hem edebi hem müzik kimliği ile âşıkların taşıyıcı ve yaratıcı iki büyük vasfını, sanatçı kimliğinde barındıran Barış Manço’nun müziğine bakıldığında; Manço’nun bir edebiyat geleneği bilincine vâkıf olduğu, müzikal ifadelerinde bulunduğu kültür ortamlarından beslendiği gibi, yörelerin kültürel değerlerinden de etkilenerek müzik zevkini oluşturduğu ve hatta tıpkı âşıkların müzik anlayışında tanımlandığı üzere; yerel müzik kalıplarına sadık kalarak ve bu kalıplara paralel olarak kendi tarzını yaratma yoluna gitmiş olduğu görülür. Bu bilgilerden hareketle; duruşu ve söylemiyle bir âşık kimliğine paralel kimlik olduğu düşünülen Barış Manço’nun, müzik kimliğine bakılacak olursa, kimi karşılaştırmalar yapılması gerekir ki; “Âşık müziğinin anlatı yapısı ile Manço’nun müziksel anlatı yapısı arasında nasıl bir ilişki vardır?” ve “Bu anlatı yapısı içerisinde, âşık müziğinin temsil biçimi nasıldır?” soruları öne çıkar. İlgili sorular yanıtlanırken; âşık tarzı müzik verilerinin tanımları ve örnekleri üzerinden karşılaştırılacak olan Manço’nun şarkıları, âşık tarzı müzik geleneği ile ilişkilendirilecektir. Karşılaştırmalı çalışma kapsamında, çeşitli kaynaklardan uyarlanan müziksel çözümleme öğelerinden faydalanılırken, müzikte metinlerarasılığa karşılık gelen çözümleme gereçleri de kullanılacaktır.
Surgical treatment of newborns with small bowel atresia (literature review)
Authors: Batchenko Natalya Y. , Mokrushina Olga G. , Gogichaeva Alania A. 
Published: April 2021

Intestinal atresia is a congenital obstruction of the lumen of the jejunum or ileum and is one of the most common causes of congenital obstruction in newborns. This literature review is devoted to the surgical treatment of newborns with various types intestinal atresia. Causes of intestinal atresia are considered, where a special role is assigned to the genetic theory, the expression of the nucleotide sequences ITGA2 873G/A and NPPA 2238T/C and antenatal circulatory disorders of the developing intestine. Topographical-anatomical and morphological characteristics of the intestine in newborns with intestinal atresia are studied in detail in articles. A table of revealed histomorphological features of the small intestine in children with atresia was compiled. In addition, processes occurring in the mucosa, submucosa, muscle, and serous membranes are described in detail. A relationship was found related to the size of the atresia site and duration of ischemia. The theory of neuromuscular regulation of the intestine is considered, in which an important role is assigned to interstitial pacemaker cells of Cajal. Variants of anastomosis depending on the difference in diameters of the adductor and excretory parts of the intestine are analyzed, and results of treatment in patients with laparoscopic access are described. The postoperative course of disease, development of complications, recurrent operative interventions, duration of parenteral nutrition, and onset of enteral load was evaluated.
Conclusion. The choice of surgical technologies used to restore the patency of the intestinal tube is determined by the degree of discrepancy between diameters of anastomosed segments. The prognosis is not determined by tactics of surgical treatment, type of atresia, time before treatment, and presence of associated anomalies.
