Published: June 2021

The need to exchange large amounts of real-time data is constantly increasing in wireless communication. While traditional radio transceivers are not cost-effective and their components should be integrated, software-defined radio (SDR) ones have opened up a new class of wireless technologies with high security. This study aims to design an SDR transceiver was built using one type of modulation, which is 16 QAM, and adding a security subsystem using one type of chaos map, which is a logistic map, because it is a very simple nonlinear dynamical equations that generate a random key and EXCLUSIVE OR with the originally transmitted data to protect data through the transmission. At the receiver, the data will be recovered using the same key, the received data is the same at the sender, so this result shows that the transceiver work normally and calculates the BER at the end each time the SNR changed. Our results indicate that the designed transmitter and receiver perform as usual and finally calculate the bit error rate when the signal to noise ratio is changed. The evaluation of BER indicates that simulated values are smaller than theoretical ones obtained using the BER tool. when SNR is equivalent to 7 dB, the theoretical and simulated BER obtained is 0.01695 and 0.00199, respectively. Designing soft defined radio transceiver using MATLAB R 2011a and system generator ISE14.1/SIMULINK.
An era of brain-computer interface: BCI migration into space
Authors: Hummadi Tamara , Chatterjee Indranath 
Published: June 2021

Brain-computer interface's (BCI) potential applications increased tremendously over the past decade. The rising of this new technology is providing promising solutions in the field of aerospace and space exploration. As astronauts face diverse challenges in long-duration spaceflight, BCI can help astronauts deal with complicated tasks with a minimal mental workload. It may provide intelligent communication systems, maximize safety and security, facilitate space discovery missions, and enhance astronauts' overall health and wellbeing. In new ventures such as SpaceX, Starlink, and Neuralink, pioneers adopt futuristic strategies that use BCI as their main anchor. Such efforts are valuable in neuroscience as they will reveal information that will allow neuroscientists to deeper understand the brain's mechanisms.
Impact of crisis communication strategies on people’s attitudes toward behavioral guidelines regarding COVID-19 and on their trust in local officials
Authors: Hirschfeld Gerrit , Thielsch Meinald 
Published: June 2021

Introduction: The communication patterns of commercial organizations are generally guided by Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT), but the impact of different crisis communication strategies for public messaging on COVID-19 has not been thoroughly examined. As such, we test how crisis communication strategies affect trust in mayors and the acceptance of behavioral measures, specifically regarding the buffering effect of a mayor’s pre-crisis reputation as well whether trust mediates the link between crisis communication strategies and acceptance of behavioral measures. Methods: A total of 561 participants (53% female; mean age 50 yrs) took part in an online experiment in which we systematically manipulated the mayor’s crisis communication strategy (deny vs. diminish, vs. rebuild, vs. bolstering, vs. no response) and pre-crisis reputation (good past crisis management, bad past crisis management). Age, gender and education served as covariates. In an exploratory analysis, we also tested the predictive power of personal concern regarding the COVID-19 pandemic as well as internal and external control convictions. Results: In our pre-planned analysis, we found that crisis communication strategies and pre-crisis reputation had no significant effect on participants’ ratings of acceptance of certain behaviors or their behavioral intentions. However, the different communication strategies did affect participants’ trust in the mayor and intention to vote for him. Specifically, we found that while the strategy of denying was overall unsuccessful, all other strategies fared similarly when the mayor’s pre-crisis reputation was high. When his pre-crisis reputation was low, differences emerged between the other strategies. The exploratory analysis corroborated earlier findings about the importance of individual concern and trust as predictors of behavioral measures. Discussion: Overall, SCCT seems to be an adequate description the effects of communication strategies on reputation in local officials during a pandemic. Yet, neither direct effects of communication strategies on acceptance of behavioral measures nor indirect effects on behavioral measures could not be shown. Since trust is an important aspect, we advise local officials to carefully choose their communication style.

Published: June 2021

Background: Motor dysfunctions are some of the characteristic symptoms of organophosphate (OP) poisoning and they have been associated with decreased levels of cholinesterase inhibition within motor areas of the brain.
Objectives: The current study aims to investigate the potential neuroprotective effects of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) in alleviating chlorpyrifos (CPF) induced toxicity in the cerebella and motor cortices of the rat brains using combined behavioural, biochemical and histochemical methods.
Methods: Thirty-two rats were randomly divided into four groups (eight rats per group), exposed to 1ml/kg of normal saline, 14.9 mg/kg of CPF, 14.9 mg/kg of CPF plus 1ml/kg of NSO and 1ml/kg of NSO respectively for 14 consecutive days. The rats were each exposed to a single trial of the Open Field Test (OFT) on day 13 of the experiment. This experimental test measured locomotor activity levels (line crossing frequency (LCF)) and exploratory (rearing frequency (RF)) activities in the rats studied. The rats were euthanized on day 15 of the experiment and the brains were subsequently excised. The cerebella cortices of five brains were removed and homogenised to analyse for total reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) levels and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. The motor and cerebella cortices from three other brains in each group were processed for histology (Nissl stain) and proliferative activity (Ki67 immunohistochemistry).
Results: Rats exposed to CPF experienced a significant increase in cerebella NO and ROS levels, depletion in AChE activity, neurogenic cells loss and subsequent reduction in locomotor and exploratory behaviours respectively (LCF and RF). However, interventional treatment with NSO depleted markers of oxidative damage (NO and ROS), reduced AChE inhibition, preserved neurogenic (Ki67) cells distribution and motor functions.
Conclusion: These results demonstrate the potential efficacy of NSO in OP poisoning and the roles of neurogenic and oxidative functions in the pathophysiology and treatment of motor dysfunction in OP neurotoxicity.

Authors: Pokhrel Bibesh , Thapa Amit 
Published: June 2021

Intracranial wooden foreign bodies due to transorbital penetrating injury sparing orbital globe are relatively rare with no reported cases till date. A multidisciplinary approach with multiple imaging modalities is needed for preoperative surgical planning.
In this case report, we report a case of 3-year-old male who presented to our emergency department with history of fall from 5 feet with no vision over right eye. ~2cm cut injury with sutures in situ was present over nasal ridge with pus discharge. CT scan head showed foreign body over temporal region. Right fronto-temporo-orbito-zygomatic craniotomy with removal of foreign body was done. Deep seated abscess seen over temporal fossa was evacuated and post-operatively intravenous antibiotics was continued. Contrast enhanced CT repeated on 15th post-operative day showed no remaining abscess or foreign body. The patient was discharged on oral antibiotics. The wound healed completely with no improvement of vision in 1-week follow-up.

Paternal alcohol misuse in UK military families: A cross-sectional study of child emotional and behavioural problems
Authors: Mahar Alyson L. , Rowe Sarah , Pernet David , Wickersham Alice , Aiken Alice B. , Wessely Simon , Fear Nicola T. 
Published: June 2021

LAY SUMMARYWhen parents drink unhealthy amounts of alcohol, it can have negative consequences for their children’s mental health. Although some evidence has shown that members of the military may consume alcohol at unhealthy levels, no study has yet looked at the possible impact on children connected to military families. The authors completed a study among children of UK fathers who served in the military and determined that alcohol misuse by fathers who serve in the military may negatively affect their children’s behaviour. More research is needed to confirm this relationship and identify targets for prevention and harm reduction.

LAY SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to learn more about the smoking habits of U.S. Veterans compared with the rest of the population and to find the best ways to help Veterans quit smoking. This study found that Veterans tend to smoke more than the general population and that some groups of Veterans smoke more than others. When helping Veterans to quit smoking, health care providers should use approaches that are based on evidence, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and biofeedback in addition to the traditional 3A cessation model (ask, advise, refer).
Better Baby Contests at the CNE: Spectacles of Public Health, Hygiene, and Nationhood in Early-Twentieth Century Toronto
Authors: Leadley Allison 
Published: June 2021

Pendant près d’un demi-siècle, les concours du meilleur bébé constituaient l’une des attractions les plus populaires à l’Exposition nationale canadienne (CNE), une fête foraine annuelle à Toronto. Dans le cadre de ces concours, un panel de juges de la région (des médecins, généralement) attribuait des points aux bébés en fonction de catégories liées à « l’apparence saine, la beauté, les méthodes d’alimentation, l’absence de défauts physiques, la propreté, la tenue vestimentaire soignée et la proportion quant à la taille et le poids » avant d’attribuer le grand prix convoité. Tout comme d’autres sites de culture d’exposition, les concours du meilleur bébé misaient sur les pulsions scopophiliques du public et constituaient un mélange complexe de spectacle et d’édification. S’appuyant à la fois sur des études sur les concours de bébés et la culture d’exposition et sur une synthèse de la couverture médiatique des concours qui avaient lieu au CNE au début du vingtième siècle, Allison Leadley fait valoir que ces événements étaient emblématiques de la culture d’exposition dans leurs qualités formelles et stylistiques, mais aussi dans le travail performatif qu’ils mettaient en œuvre : la création, la promulgation et le maintien de nouvelles visions de la « normalité » façonnées par le domaine en pleine expansion de l’eugénisme.

Udang vannamei merupakan jenis udang telah dibudiayakan di tambak dan bahkan di perairan darat (perairan tawar). Berbagai penelitian telah dilakukan terhadap keberlangsungan hidup udang vannamei terutama kaitannya dengan salinitas, namun belum ada informasi terkait kelulushidupan udang vannamei yang dipelihara pada berbagai sumber air. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kelulushidupan larva udang vannamei post larva 12 yang dipelihara pada berbagai sumber air. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen. Pada penelitian ini terdapat tiga perlakuan yaitu pemeliharaan larva pada air yang bersumber dari laut, sumur dan dari muara. Masing-masing perlakuan terdapat tiga kali ulangan. Setiap wadah diisi dengan air media (sesuai perlakuan) sebanyak 2 L.Larva dimasukkan ke dalam wadah setelah 15 menit dilakukan aklimatisasi. Jumlah larva pada setiap wadah adalah 50 individu (25 individu/L). Salinitas air laut adalah 19 ppt sedangkan salinitas air tawar dan air muara yang digunakan sebagai media pemeliharaan adalah 0 ppt. Pengamatan tingkat kematian dilakukan setiap 12 jam dan dilakukan selama 3 hari atau 72 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa larva yang dipelihara di media air tawar mengalami kematian total (100%) setelah 12 jam, sedangkan larva yang dipelihara pada media air muara mengalami kematian total (100%) setelah 24 jam. Larva yang dipelihara di air laut tidak mengalami kematian hingga hari ke-tiga atau dapat dikatakan bahwa larva yang dipelihara di air laut memiliki tingkat kelulushidupan 100%.

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated the variations in body composition and performance in Japanese collegiate American-football players. OBJECTIVE: To clarify what characterizes competitors at the highest levels – in the top division or on the starting lineup – we compared players’ body compositions and performance test results. METHODS: This study included 172 players. Each player’s body composition and performance (one-repetition maximum bench press, one-repetition maximum back squat, and vertical jump height) were measured; power was estimated from vertical jump height and body weight. Players were compared according to status (starter vs. non-starter), position (skill vs. linemen), and division (1 vs. 2). Regression analysis was performed to determine characteristics for being a starter. RESULTS: Players in higher divisions and who were starters were stronger and had more power, greater body size, and better performance test results. Players in skill positions were relatively stronger than those in linemen positions. Vertical jump height was a significant predictor of being a starter in Division 1. CONCLUSION: Power and vertical jump may be a deciding factor for playing as a starter or in a higher division.
Methodological basis of the «Entertainment» phenomenon within the postmodern discourse
Authors: Chumachenko Olena 
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the article consists of the determination of the methodological basis of the phenomenon of "Entertainment" in the discourse of postmodernism. The research methodology consists in the application of the analytical method - to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the phenomenon of "Entertainment" in the discourse of postmodernism; the hermeneutic method - for the interpretation of the semantic content of the phenomenon of "Entertainment" in the context of the theories of post-structuralists and post-Freudians in the discourse of postmodernism; we use the historical and cultural method to investigate holistic images-concepts of the phenomenon of "Entertainment" in Western European culture in the discourse of postmodernism. The scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time the essence of the phenomenon of «Entertainment» in the theories of post-structuralists and post-Freudians in the discourse of postmodernism. Conclusions. The phenomenon of "Entertainment" begins to be seen as a form of manifestation of visual culture in the discourse of postmodernism, this phenomenon does not reflect reality but simulates this reality through experiments with artificial reality. Each context has exhaustive possibilities for its reading and interpretation, any element of artistic language can be used in another - social, political and cultural - context, or it can be influenced outside the framework of any context, which in a vivid way became the basis of the phenomenon of "Entertainment" (J. Derrida); «Entertainment» is a form of ironic rethinking in the aspect of the response to postmodernism to the avant-garde, on the recognition of the impossibility of destroying the heritage of the past and a call for an ironic rethinking of this past (R. Rorty); the essence of «Entertainment» is the process of combining already existing art forms (J. Baudrillard); - all aspects vividly prove that the philosophical concepts of R. Barthes, J. Baudrillard, J. Delioz, F. Guattari, F. Jameson were the methodological basis of the phenomenon of «Entertainment» in the discourse of postmodernism.
