Logical word learning: The case of kinship
Authors: Mollica Francis , Piantadosi Steven T. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractWe examine the conceptual development of kinship through the lens of program induction. We present a computational model for the acquisition of kinship term concepts, resulting in the first computational model of kinship learning that is closely tied to developmental phenomena. We demonstrate that our model can learn several kinship systems of varying complexity using cross-linguistic data from English, Pukapuka, Turkish, and Yanomamö. More importantly, the behavioral patterns observed in children learning kinship terms, under-extension and over-generalization, fall out naturally from our learning model. We then conducted interviews to simulate realistic learning environments and demonstrate that the characteristic-to-defining shift is a consequence of our learning model in naturalistic contexts containing abstract and concrete features. We use model simulations to understand the influence of logical simplicity and children’s learning environment on the order of acquisition of kinship terms, providing novel predictions for the learning trajectories of these words. We conclude with a discussion of how this model framework generalizes beyond kinship terms, as well as a discussion of its limitations.
Time to imagine moving: Simulated motor activity affects time perception
Authors: Spapé Michiel M. , Harjunen Ville J. , Ravaja Niklas 
Published: December 2021

AbstractSensing the passage of time is important for countless daily tasks, yet time perception is easily influenced by perception, cognition, and emotion. Mechanistic accounts of time perception have traditionally regarded time perception as part of central cognition. Since proprioception, action execution, and sensorimotor contingencies also affect time perception, perception-action integration theories suggest motor processes are central to the experience of the passage of time. We investigated whether sensory information and motor activity may interactively affect the perception of the passage of time. Two prospective timing tasks involved timing a visual stimulus display conveying optical flow at increasing or decreasing velocity. While doing the timing tasks, participants were instructed to imagine themselves moving at increasing or decreasing speed, independently of the optical flow. In the direct-estimation task, the duration of the visual display was explicitly judged in seconds while in the motor-timing task, participants were asked to keep a constant pace of tapping. The direct-estimation task showed imagining accelerating movement resulted in relative overestimation of time, or time dilation, while decelerating movement elicited relative underestimation, or time compression. In the motor-timing task, imagined accelerating movement also accelerated tapping speed, replicating the time-dilation effect. The experiments show imagined movement affects time perception, suggesting a causal role of simulated motor activity. We argue that imagined movements and optical flow are integrated by temporal unfolding of sensorimotor contingencies. Consequently, as physical time is relative to spatial motion, so too is perception of time relative to imaginary motion.
Reality in a sphere: A direct comparison of social attention in the laboratory and the real world
Authors: Großekathöfer Jonas D. , Seis Christian , Gamer Matthias 
Published: December 2021

AbstractHumans often show reduced social attention in real situations, a finding rarely replicated in controlled laboratory studies. Virtual reality is supposed to allow for ecologically valid and at the same time highly controlled experiments. This study aimed to provide initial insights into the reliability and validity of using spherical videos viewed via a head-mounted display (HMD) to assess social attention. We chose five public places in the city of Würzburg and measured eye movements of 44 participants for 30 s at each location twice: Once in a real environment with mobile eye-tracking glasses and once in a virtual environment playing a spherical video of the location in an HMD with an integrated eye tracker. As hypothesized, participants demonstrated reduced social attention with less exploration of passengers in the real environment as compared to the virtual one. This is in line with earlier studies showing social avoidance in interactive situations. Furthermore, we only observed consistent gaze proportions on passengers across locations in virtual environments. These findings highlight that the potential for social interactions and an adherence to social norms are essential modulators of viewing behavior in social situations and cannot be easily simulated in laboratory contexts. However, spherical videos might be helpful for supplementing the range of methods in social cognition research and other fields. Data and analysis scripts are available at https://osf.io/hktdu/.
ISIEA: An image database of social inclusion and exclusion in young Asian adults

Published: December 2021

AbstractHuman beings have a fundamental need to belong. Evaluating and dealing with social exclusion and social inclusion events, which represent negative and positive social interactions, respectively, are closely linked to our physical and mental health. In addition to traditional paradigms that simulate scenarios of social interaction, images are utilized as effective visual stimuli for research on socio-emotional processing and regulation. Since the current mainstream emotional image database lacks social stimuli based on a specific social context, we introduced an open-access image database of social inclusion/exclusion in young Asian adults (ISIEA). This database contains a set of 164 images depicting social interaction scenarios under three categories of social contexts (social exclusion, social neutral, and social inclusion). All images were normatively rated on valence, arousal, inclusion score, and vicarious feeling by 150 participants in Study 1. We additionally examined the relationships between image ratings and the potential factors influencing ratings. The importance of facial expression and social context in the image rating of ISIEA was examined in Study 2. We believe that this database allows researchers to select appropriate materials for socially related studies and to flexibly conduct experimental control.
Introducing the Prototypical Stimulus Characteristics Toolbox: Protosc
Authors: Stuit S. M. , Paffen C. L. E. , Van der Stigchel S. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractMany studies use different categories of images to define their conditions. Since any difference between these categories is a valid candidate to explain category-related behavioral differences, knowledge about the objective image differences between categories is crucial for the interpretation of the behaviors. However, natural images vary in many image features and not every feature is equally important in describing the differences between the categories. Here, we provide a methodological approach to find as many of the image features as possible, using machine learning performance as a tool, that have predictive value over the category the images belong to. In other words, we describe a means to find the features of a group of images by which the categories can be objectively and quantitatively defined. Note that we are not aiming to provide a means for the best possible decoding performance; instead, our aim is to uncover prototypical characteristics of the categories. To facilitate the use of this method, we offer an open-source, MATLAB-based toolbox that performs such an analysis and aids the user in visualizing the features of relevance. We first applied the toolbox to a mock data set with a ground truth to show the sensitivity of the approach. Next, we applied the toolbox to a set of natural images as a more practical example.
Video playback versus live stimuli to assess quantity discrimination in angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Authors: Gómez-Laplaza Luis M. , Gerlai Robert 
Published: December 2021

AbstractVideo playback is a widely used technique for presentation of visual stimuli in animal behavior research. In the analysis of behavioral responses to social cues, presentation of video recordings of live conspecifics represents a consistently reproducible stimulus. However, video-recordings do not interact with the experimental subject, and thus this stimulus may be inferior in the social context. Here, we evaluated how angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) respond to a video playback of conspecifics versus a live shoal of conspecifics. Using binary choice tests, subjects were presented different stimuli. Time spent close to one versus the other stimulus was considered an index of preference. We found angelfish to prefer a live shoal of conspecifics to an empty tank, and also the video playback of a shoal of conspecifics to a blank screen, although the level of preference in the latter was lower than in the former. These results indicate that video-playback of live conspecifics may be appropriate in angelfish, thus allowing manipulation of specific cues that angelfish may use in quantity discrimination. However, when we directly contrasted a live and a video recorded shoal, both having the same number of members, experimental fish preferred the live shoal. When the choice consisted of a live shoal of four conspecifics versus a video playback of a shoal of nine conspecifics no clear preference emerged. These results imply that video-playback has disadvantages in quantity discrimination studies with angelfish. Exploring procedural and/or technological parameters will verify the suitability of video-recording-based stimulus presentation for future use in angelfish.
Los Pactos sociales en la experiencia argentina, su influencia en el Derecho del Trabajo y posible traslación.
Authors: Ricardo Francisco Seco  
Published: December 2021

Uno de los temas del XXII Congreso Mundial de la Sociedad Internacional de Derecho del Trabajo y de la Seguridad Social, Turín 2018, es “El papel del Estado y las relaciones industriales”.
En la República Argentina la intensa participación del Estado es un particularismo que caracteriza a las relaciones industriales y laborales, al Derecho del Trabajo argentino y, en especial, al “modelo sindical argentino”.
Un modo especial de esa intervención del Estado ha sido la promoción de pactos sociales. Examinaremos la influencia que los diversos Pactos Sociales argentinos han tenido en el Derecho del Trabajo argentino, las razones de dicha influencia, su éxito o fracaso y verificaremos si es posible que la experiencia nacional pueda trasladarse o no a otros países.
Supernova Preshock Neutronization Burst as a Probe of Nonstandard Neutrino Interactions

Published: December 2021

Abstract
A core-collapse supernova (CCSN) provides a unique astrophysical site for studying neutrino–matter interactions. Prior to the shock-breakout neutrino burst during the collapse of the iron core, a preshock ν

e
burst arises from the electron capture of nuclei and it is sensitive to the low-energy coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering (CEνNS) which dominates the neutrino opacity. Since the CEνNS depends strongly on nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSIs), which are completely beyond the standard model and yet to be determined, the detection of the preshock burst thus provides a clean way to extract the NSI information. Within the spherically symmetric general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulation for the CCSN, we investigate the NSI effects on the preshock burst. We find that the NSI can maximally enhance the peak luminosity of the preshock burst almost by a factor of three, reaching a value comparable to that of the shock-breakout burst. Future detection of the preshock burst will have critical implications on astrophysics, neutrino physics, and physics beyond the standard model.
An updated checklist to the biodiversity data of ladybeetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) of the Azores Archipelago (Portugal)
Authors: Soares António , Borges Isabel , Calado Hugo , Borges Paulo 
Published: December 2021

A recently-published review from 2021 presents a comprehensive checklist of ladybeetles of Portugal, including the Azores and Madeira Archipelagos. Until then, the available information was very scattered and based on a single revision dating back to 1986, a few international catalogues and databases, individual records and studies on communities of agroecosystems. However, no information was available on faunal composition across the Azorean islands and their habitats, using standardised inventories. Here, we present data about the biodiversity of ladybeetles and their distribution and abundance in five Islands of the Azores (Faial, Graciosa, Pico, São Jorge and São Miguel). Surveys included herbaceous and arboreal habitats from native to anthropogenic-managed habitats: ruderal road vegetation, vegetable garden, mixed forest of endemic and non-native host plants, coastal prairies, coastal mixed vegetation, cornfields and urban areas. We aimed to contribute to the ongoing effort to document the terrestrial biodiversity of Portugal, including the Archipelago of the Azores, within the research project AZORESBIOPORTAL–PORBIOTA (ACORES-01-0145-FEDER-000072).
In this study, a total of 1,487 specimens of Coccinellidae belonging to 19 species are reported for several habitats. The listed species are from one single sub-familiy (Coccinellinae) and six tribes; Chilocorini (one species), Coccidulini (three species), Coccinellini (six species), Noviini (one species), Scymnini (seven species), Stethorini (one species). The number of species collected per island differed; Faial (10 species), Graciosa (four species), Pico (seven species), São Jorge (seven species) and São Miguel (12 species). For six species, new island records are given. Currently, the number of species known to occur in the Azores are 32, including two doubtful records. The majority of species are Scymnini, being Scymnus (Scymnus) interruptus (Goeze, 1777) and Scymnus (Scymnus) nubilus Mulsant, 1850, the most abundant species (relative abundance 71.1%). This database will be the baseline of a long-term monitoring project allowing assessment of the impact of ongoing global changes in the distribution and abundance of ladybeetles.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: The effectiveness of premedication of patients with arterial hypertension and severe ventricular rhythm disturbances against the background of Amiodarone-associated thyrotoxicosis, high anxiety and cyclothymiae disorders should be based on the pharmacological positions of the need to reduce the risk of dangerous adverse cardiovascular reactions.
Materials and methods: During the research, a clinical group of 114 patients with arterial hypertension, severe ventricular arrhythmias and Amiodarone-associated type I thyrotoxicosis was formed: four subgroups were identified. In Subgroup 1 (n=22), no premedication was given. In Subgroup 2 (n=32), premedication was given with Diazepam and magnesium sulfate in a prolonged mode. In Subgroup 3 (n=30), the patients received Diazepam the day before surgery. In Subgroup 4 (n=30), premedication was given with Midazolam. A dynamic assessment of the severity of anxiety, depression, sedation and daily monitoring of blood pressure and ECG were carried out.
Results and discussion: After surgery, in Subgroup 1, the level of anxiety and depression increased. In all other Subgroups, regardless of the type of premedication, the use of benzodiazepines was accompanied by a decrease in the level of anxiety after surgery. A decrease in pressure load and an increase in the stability of the parameters of systemic hemodynamics were registered in Subgroup 2 of patients, whereas in Subgroup 4 of patients, the pressure load increased while limiting the differences in blood pressure values during the day. After surgery, in Subgroup 2, cardiac rhythm disturbances were less common; in Subgroup 3, the structure of rhythmogenesis disturbances in the heart almost did not change, and in Subgroup 4, there was an unfavorable trend of an increase in the frequency of supraventricular, single and group ventricular extrasystoles.
Conclusion: The prolonged premedication with long-acting benzodiazepines and magnesium preparations in patients with arterial hypertension, ventricular rhythm disturbances against the background of Amiodarone-associated thyrotoxicosis reduces the level of anxiety, as well as the risk of developing cardiovascular complications and instability of systemic hemodynamics.
Comment les nouveaux entrants dans un marché font usage de l’Union européenne ? Le cas des projets coopératifs d’énergie renouvelable
Authors: Wokuri Pierre 
Published: December 2021

De nombreux travaux ont mis en évidence que l’européanisation constituait un processus pouvant produire des changements en matière d’activités économiques. Si la libéralisation économique et l’ancrage européen des grandes firmes ont été abondamment documentés, peu de travaux analysent le cas d’acteurs moins visibles, plus petits et moins établis. Cet article pallie ce manque en se demandant, à partir du cas des projets coopératifs d’énergie renouvelable, comment de nouveaux entrants sur un marché font usage de l’Union européenne. L’article met en lumière trois usages de celle-ci effectués par les acteurs de ces projets : un outil d’obtention de ressources cognitives et financières (1), un outil d’intermédiation (2), et un levier d’ouverture (partielle) de marchés (3).
Un échec des modèles explicatifs de la science politique ?
Authors: Hay Colin , Benoît Cyril 
Published: December 2021

En 2016, le « Leave » l’emporte dans le référendum pour la sortie du Royaume-Uni de l’Union européenne. Faut-il voir dans l’incapacité de la plupart des politistes à avoir prédit cet événement un échec de leurs modèles explicatifs ? Et quelles sont les implications à considérer la discipline comme capable d’élaborer des propositions ayant une visée prédictive ? En s’appuyant notamment sur une comparaison de la situation de la science politique face au Brexit avec celle de la science économique face à la crise financière, l’article défend l’idée que c’est la capacité d’une théorie à rendre un événement intelligible rétrospectivement qui doit constituer un critère de validation, et non pas le fait de l’avoir anticipé. Réexaminant les causes du Brexit, nous montrons qu’il est possible d’en rendre raison sur la base de différents acquis de la discipline. Partant de ce constat, nous discutons également de ce que les politistes peuvent dire du futur, si l’on admet que la prédiction ne prend pas dans les sciences sociales la même forme que dans les sciences naturelles.

Systematic Review of the Use of Supplemental Multifocal Intraocular Lenses in the Ciliary Sulcus for Presbyopia Correction
Authors: Rocha-de-Lossada Carlos , Zamorano-Martín Francisco , Piñero David P. , Rodríguez-Vallejo Manuel , Fernández Joaquín 
Published: December 2021

PURPOSE:
To conduct a critical review of the peer-reviewed literature on the use of supplemental multifocal intraocular lenses in the ciliary sulcus.

METHODS:
This systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement recommendations. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined, 15 articles were selected for the current systematic review. Each of them was analyzed carefully and their risk of bias was assessed with the Quality Assessment Tool for Case Series Studies from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

RESULTS:
Data of 384 eyes from 227 patients were analyzed. Most of the studies reviewed had a short follow-up and poor or limited design, including case reports, case series, and clinical trials with several gaps in their methodology. Post-operative uncorrected distance and near visual acuity ranged from 20/40 to 20/20 and from 0.4 to 0.02 logMAR, respectively. Pigment dispersion (12 eyes) and deposits (13 eyes) were the most described complication. Dysphotopsia, glare, and halos were the more frequently reported visual disturbances. However, most of the patients reported a high level of satisfaction with their surgery. Most articles reviewed (13 of 15) achieved a risk of bias score between 6 and 8, representing a high level of evidence despite the study design limitations.

CONCLUSIONS:
Supplemental multifocal intraocular lenses seem to offer good distance and near visual results, leading to high levels of spectacle independence and patients' satisfaction, with limited complications associated. However, more studies with a more robust design are needed to confirm these trends.

Comparison of Corneal Power Calculation by Standard Keratometry and Total Keratometry in Eyes With Previous Myopic FS-LASIK
Authors: Lupardi Enrico , Taroni Leonardo , Hoffer Kenneth J. , Schiano-Lomoriello Domenico , Savini Giacomo 
Published: December 2021

PURPOSE:
To compare the accuracy of Total Keratometry (TK) and standard keratometry (K) with the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec) in evaluating the corneal refractive change in eyes with previous myopic femtosecond laser–assisted LASIK (FS-LASIK).

METHODS:
A series of consecutive patients who had undergone myopic FS-LASIK was prospectively enrolled. The refractive change in spherical equivalent (ΔSE) was defined as the difference between the preoperative target correction entered into the laser software and the postoperative cycloplegic refraction. The difference between the postoperative and the preoperative K (ΔK) and the difference between the postoperative and the preoperative TK (ΔTK) were compared to the ΔSE. Only the right eye of each patient was selected for the statistical analysis.

RESULTS:

Twenty-five eyes of 25 patients were enrolled. The mean ΔSE was −4.41 ± 1.68 diopters (D). The mean ΔK (−3.82 ± 1.60 D) revealed a statistically significant underestimation of the laser-induced refractive change (
P
< .0001), whereas the mean ΔTK (−4.36 ± 1.78 D) did not show any significant difference (
P
= .45). The difference between ΔK and ΔTK was statistically significant (
P
< .0001). Linear regression between the laser-induced refractive change and the individual difference between the postoperative K and TK disclosed a statistically significant relationship (
r
= −0.6930,
r
2
= 0.4803,
P
< .0001), thus revealing that higher refractive corrections increase the difference between the postoperative values of K and TK.

CONCLUSIONS:
TK does not underestimate the laser-induced corneal changes and can be considered a reliable option for intraocular lens power calculation after myopic excimer laser surgery.
