Subliminal priming modulates motor sequence learning
Authors: Simpson Michael William , Wu Jing , Ye Zheng 
Published: November 2024

AbstractSequential behaviour is underpinned by the selection and inhibition of movement at appropriate points in space and time. Sequences embedded among movement patterns must be learnt, yet the contribution of response selection and inhibition to the acquisition of motor sequences remains poorly understood. We addressed this issue by overlaying the serial reaction time task (SRTT) with subliminal masked primes that differentially weighed response tendencies. In Experiment 1, twenty-four healthy young adults, and in Experiment 2, thirty-six participants, performed the SRTT with congruent (same position), incongruent (different position), or neutral (no prime) subliminal masked primes. Each condition featured an embedded eight-digit (Experiment 1) or ten-digit (Experiment 2) second-order sequence, with conditions presented in counterbalanced order during a single session. Sequence specific learning was observed under neutral and congruent prime conditions. Independent of sequence awareness, congruent primes reduced initial response latency and led to greater sequence specific learning compared with neutral primes. However, incongruent primes appeared to attenuate learning (Experiment 1). These results demonstrate that prime congruency modulates sequence specific learning below the threshold of conscious awareness. Congruent primes may elevate the salience of stimulus–response compounds and accentuate learning, but at the cost of increased awareness. Incongruent primes, and the induction of response conflict, attenuate sequence specific learning (Experiment 1) and may prevent the formation of cross-temporal contingencies necessary for implicit motor sequence learning.

Published: November 2024

This paper examines how zakat management’s accountability and transparency affect the muzzaki’s willingness to pay their zakat to a zakat management institution. The study was motivated by the crucial role of zakat in Muslim countries as a potential resource for improving their socio-economy. However, accountability and transparency of zakat institutions have failed of expectations. Muzzaki tend to give their zakat through mosques or non-profit organisations where less accountability and transparency. Prosocial behaviour theory which emphasises voluntary action to help others is selected. Meanwhile, mixed methods focusing on qualitative to facilitate quantitative methods are selected through Interview and distributing questionnaires to Muslims in the Bandung-Indonesia. 300 questionnaires were analysed using the PLS-SEM tools. This study reveals being transparent from the zakat management institution is control but when it comes to muzzaki behaviour, intention and choice to pay zakat as a voluntary expression of solidarity, it is made through official channels.

THE IMPACT OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURE ON CARBON EMISSION REDUCTION: AN EXAMINATION OF IMPLEMENTATION PATHWAYS FROM THE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION SIDE
Authors: Wang Yafei , Shi Ming , Liu Junnan , Zhang Luyao , Luo Man , Ren Jin 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
The digital technology revolution has enabled a greater vision for global economic change and the reduction of carbon emissions, which has encouraged the development of a new type of infrastructure with digitalization as the key driver in recent years. Based on data from 30 province-level samples in China between 2011 and 2020, this study systematically investigates the effects and mechanisms of new types of infrastructure on carbon emission reduction. The findings demonstrate that the new types of infrastructure has a significant carbon emission reduction effect, both in the present and following lag periods. And the carbon emission reduction effect of new types of infrastructure in the present period increases as the quantile rises. It has been found that the output scale effect and technology effect, in addition to the less obvious structural effect, are the main ways that new types of infrastructure lowers carbon emissions. The carbon emission reduction effect of convergence infrastructure, innovation infrastructure, and information infrastructure has a heterogeneous characteristic of decreasing order. The reduction in carbon emissions is visible on the consumption side as a mediatory result of urban and rural populations’ upgraded consumption patterns. Even while the development of new infrastructure has some spillover effects on carbon emissions, there is still a noticeable general trend toward significant decrease.
EXPLORING RURAL RESIDENTS’ WILLINGNESS TO ADOPT ROOFTOP PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) RENOVATION: CONSIDERING MODERATING ROLE OF CULTURAL CONCEPTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Authors: Ding Liping , Zheng Longwei , Zhang Siyu , Zhu Yuxuan , Shuai Jing 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
The development and utilization of solar energy have become one of the effective ways to achieve the goal of “carbon neutrality and emission peak” in China. China has high-quality solar photovoltaic (PV) resources and huge potential for rural rooftop PV installations. However, the current amount of rural rooftop PV installation is very small, so it is important to reveal the key influencing factors and promotion policies for rural residents to retrofit rooftop PV. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), after adding cultural concepts and environmental awareness adjustment variables, this paper constructs a regression model of rural residents’ willingness to retrofit rooftop PV on 375 valid questionnaire data from 27 provinces and autonomous regions in China. The results show that: (1) Perceived trust, perceived ease of use, and subjective norms significantly influence the willingness of rural residents to adopt rooftop PV retrofits. (2) Cultural concepts and environmental awareness significantly moderate adoption intention and related pathways. Finally, this paper proposes policy recommendations accordingly.
HOW TO IMPROVE EMBODIED IMPACTS OF BUILDINGS AT THE EARLY DESIGN STAGE? ROLE OF AN INNOVATIVE SYSTEM

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
The growing impact of the built environment on the natural environment, human health, and its economic importance has emphasized the importance of green building design. It is widely recognized that the most significant benefits can be obtained if the green design initiatives can be implemented at the earliest stages of the design processes. This requires designers to consider embodied impacts (embodied energy and emission) among other criteria in selecting building systems and materials during the early design phase of a building. However, this endeavor is not a simple task, as the absence of appropriate tools to facilitate such considerations becomes apparent. The aim of this research is to develop an innovative system, which can support designers in selecting the structure and envelope systems of a building considering the embodied impacts and costs during the early design stage. A graphical user interface empowers designers to scrutinize diverse building structures and exterior envelope assemblies and compare their embodied energy, embodied carbon emissions, and costs, thereby making an informed decision about the most desirable systems. To validate its utility, a case study is used to illustrate the application of the system and demonstrate the feasibility of its use in selecting structure and envelope systems for educational buildings.
USING PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA TO IMPROVE THE ACCURACY OF OUTDOOR THERMAL COMFORT EVALUATION FOR THE ELDERLY IN A HOT SUMMER AND COLD WINTER AREA OF CHINA
Authors: Hu Ying , Zhou Jue 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
Elderly people in regions of China with hot summers and cold winters have significantly higher heat sensitivity than people in other regions and are ambiguous in their subjective perceptions of temperature, humidity, and solar radiation. This makes the elderly more vulnerable to the heat; consequently, when they engage in outdoor activities during the summer wearing light clothing, their diminished thermal perception increases the risk of heat stress injuries. Therefore, to more accurately evaluate the outdoor thermal comfort perception of the elderly in summer, this study used traditional field meteorological measurements, a questionnaire survey, physiological data, and machine learning prediction methods, to establish an outdoor thermal benchmark for retirement communities in hot summer and cold winter regions. Findings from the study reveal that the neutral universal thermal climate index (NUTCI) and the neutral universal thermal climate index range are 25.94°C and 22.23°C to 29.66°C respectively, and that the thermal comfort threshold is 35.39°C. It was also found that for 80% of elderly residents in the two retirement communities studied, the thermal acceptable range is from 19.41°C to 35.07°C. Using these findings as a guide, the thermal categories proposed are neutral 22.23°C to 33.08°C, slightly warm 33.08°C to 39.68°C, warm 39.68°C to 43.52°C, and hot above 43.52°C, with a preferred UTCI of 27.02°C.
Quand t’es dans la misère, c’est plus compliqué. Quelques remarques sur les emplois génériques de tu et vous
Authors: Salles Mathilde 
Published: November 2024

Cet article est consacré aux emplois dits « génériques » des pronoms de deuxième personne tu et vous, emplois dans lesquels ils peuvent concurrencer certains emplois indéfinis du pronom on. Selon certaines analyses, en particulier celles qui font valoir une restructuration du système pronominal français, tu et vous apparaissent comme de simples équivalents de on. Selon d’autres analyses, au contraire, le choix de tu ou vous à la place de on n’est pas arbitraire et tu et vous génériques conservent une valeur d’interpellation de l’interlocuteur ou de l’interlocutrice. Nous tenterons de montrer que tu et vous génériques, bien qu’ils ne correspondent pas nécessairement au pronom d’adresse utilisé (notamment tu générique, qui peut être utilisé en contexte de vouvoiement) et qu’ils puissent être indifférents au statut de l’interlocuteur ou de l’interlocutrice (genre ou nombre de celui-/celle-ci, ceux-/celles-ci), conservent bien une valeur d’adresse.

Dimensionality of an adapted Authentic Leadership Questionnaire: Three independent South African studies
Authors: Grobler Anton , Grobler Sonja 
Published: November 2024

Orientation: Authentic leadership (AL) is a well-defined construct and measured by instruments mostly developed and validated in the United States and Europe.Research purpose: To validate an adapted version of the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ) within the South African context.Motivation for the study: Instruments are often used without the necessary research on validity, thus disregarding the context in which it is utilised. It is emphasised by many scholars that inferences derived from the scores obtained from instruments need to be validated and instruments be adapted accordingly for a specific context, in this case, South Africa.Research approach/design and method: This article is based on the results of three separate studies conducted over 3 years. The research was approached from a quantitative positivist paradigm, utilising a cross-sectional design and survey method. The sample consisted of 5515 participants, with 60 respondents from 93 organisations across both the private and public sectors. The analysis includes item screening, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, determination of convergent validity and invariance analysis across the two sectors.Main findings: The results yielded a one-factor solution (compared to the original four-factor model), with all 16 items loading on the unidimensional factor. This one-factor model was reliable, valid and invariant regarding the private and public sectors used in this study.Practical/managerial implications: The practical value is an AL questionnaire adapted and validated for the South African context.Contribution/value-add: The validated ALQ can be used with confidence by organisations regardless of sector, researchers and academics.

Abstract
Leptin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, plays a pivotal role in maintaining energy metabolism and bone quality. Dysregulation of leptin can lead to the development of various pathological conditions. For example, the concentration of leptin is increased in individuals with obesity, and this increased concentration is positively correlated with higher bone mass. In addition, mice lacking leptin or the leptin receptor exhibit substantial bone loss, further highlighting the pivotal role of leptin in regulating bone metabolism. However, the precise mechanism through which leptin affects bone remodeling remains unclear. The present study investigated the effect of leptin on osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. Osteoblasts derived from MC3T3-E1 cells and osteoclasts derived from RAW 264.7 cells were used. The findings revealed that leptin did not substantially affect osteoclastogenesis or osteoblastogenesis. Furthermore, leptin did not affect cell viability during osteoclast differentiation. The expression of inflammatory mediators was increased in differentiating RAW 264.7 cells. However, the expression of critical bone resorptive genes, including Ctsk and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, was not elevated following leptin stimulation. By contrast, leptin did not alter the expression of key osteogenic genes in preosteoblasts in the early stage of differentiation. These data demonstrate that leptin can stimulate the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators in differentiating osteoclasts. These changes do not affect osteoblastogenesis or osteoclastogenesis. Leptin may downregulate bone resorption and enhance mineralization to increase bone mass.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
This study aimed to evaluate the utility of various blood parameters in predicting oesophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis of liver.

Methods:
In this retrospective study, laboratory parameters like platelet count, haemoglobin level, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) aspartatae aminotransferase (AST) creatinine, albumin, international normalised ratio (INR) and bilirubin were collected from the medical records of patients with cirrhosis who underwent endoscopy for variceal bleeding. The predictors of oesophageal varices from these indices were calculated.

Results:
One hundred and sixty five patients (mean age 57.5 ± 10.7 years; males) were studied. Sixty seven patients (40.6%) had no oesophageal varices. Of the patients with varices (n = 98), 41 (24.8%) had small and 57 (34.5%) had large varices. Compared with patients without oesophageal varices, those with varices had significantly elevated serum aspartate aminotransferase (P = 0.018), serum bilirubin (P = 0.0001) and significantly low serum albumin (P = 0.0001). Platelet count was < 200,000/mm3 in patients with small and < 100,000/mm3 in patients with large varices (P = 0.0001). Prothrombin time-INR (PT-INR) was higher in patients with small varices compared to those with large varices compared to those with small varices (P = 0.0001). Sensitivity and specificity for PT-INR (area under curve [AUC] = 0.823) were 86% and 74%, respectively, and for platelet counts were (AUC = 0.813) 83% and 64%, respectively.

Conclusions:
Univariate analysis showed serum bilirubin, serum albumin, haemoglobin, platelet count were statistically significant. However, PT-INR and platelet counts showed high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract

Background:
Sparse published data are available comparing necrotising fasciitis (NF) in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods:
Consecutive patients presenting with NF to our tertiary care teaching institute in Tirupati from March 2021 to June 2022 (n = 100; with T2DM [n = 60], without T2DM [n = 40]) were prospectively studied. The predisposing factors, clinical presentation, performance of laboratory risk indicator for necrotising fasciitis (LRINEC) score and its association with inhospital outcome of NF were compared in patients with and without T2DM.

Results:
In NF patients with or without T2DM, mean age (58.3 ± 11.0 Vs 55.3 ± 15.5 years; P = 0.22), gender distribution (M: F = 42:18 Vs 29:11; P = 0.787), history of trauma (50% Vs 45%; P = 0.787) and site of involvement (right lower limb 45% Vs. 35%; P = 0.813) were similar. A significantly higher proportion of patients with T2DM had chronic kidney disease (6/60 Vs 11/40; P = 0.02) and corticosteroid use (8/60 Vs 4/40; P = 0.04) compared to those without T2DM. The mean LRINEC score was similar in patients with and without T2DM (7.3 ± 2.5 Vs 6.8 ± 3.0; P = 0.9). The mean duration of intensive care unit stay (days) (4.4 ± 4.0 Vs 3.3 ± 2.4; P = 0.12), amputation rates (13.3% Vs 10%; P = 0.615) and mortality (25% Vs 22.5%; P = 0.774) were similar in NF patients with and without T2DM.

Conclusions:
Our observations suggest that predisposing factors, clinical presentation and outcomes were similar in NF patients with and without T2DM.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. Majority of the patients in India prefer maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) as a renal replacement therapy, which may have a significant impact on lipid profile of the patient.

Methods:
The present study cross-sectional case–control study was conducted in 50 CKD patients on MHD and 50 healthy controls. Sampling in CKD patients was done just before initiating haemodialysis (HD) and 30 min after completion of HD irrespective of their fasting state. Serum creatinine, urea and lipid parameters were investigated to study the effect of HD and the pattern of dyslipidaemia in CKD patients.

Results:
Serum triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) were significantly (P < 0.05) more in both pre- and post-HD samples as compared with healthy controls. Serum total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly lower in MHD patients as compared with controls. There was a significant rise in serum TC and HDL-C after HD.

Conclusions:
The study concludes that CKD patients on HD have hypertriglyceridaemia, hypocholesterolaemia, low HDL-C, high serum VLDL and low serum LDL levels. Dyslipidaemia persists even after HD. A significant improvement in TC and HDL-C was observed after HD in CKD patients. Early identification and treatment of dyslipidaemia can reduce morbidity and mortality associated with CKD on HD.
