Preventing fixation: Evidence of item-method directed forgetting protecting against mental impasses in creative problem-solving
Authors: Gauselmann Paula , Tempel Tobias 
Published: September 2024

AbstractCreative problem-solving can be impeded by mental impasses which are caused by fixation on associated but misguiding ideas. Recently, research has focused on the question of which processes might be involved in overcoming fixation and how it can be prevented from occurring altogether. In the present study, we investigated whether initially encoded fixation words can be forgotten by means of item-method directed forgetting, a procedure in which participants are presented with a series of items that are each followed by a remember cue or forget cue. Here, the series of items partly consisted of words that were misleadingly associated with compound remote associate problems that had to be solved later on. Two groups were compared: For one group, fixation words were followed by forget cues (fixation-F), whereas for the other group, they were followed by a remember cue (fixation-R). Results revealed three major findings: (1) The fixation-R group showed typical detrimental effects of fixation (i.e., impaired problem-solving performance), whereas there was no significant fixation effect in the fixation-F group, and (2) the magnitude of fixation was positively related to memory for fixation words. The present findings add to existing literature about how fixation negatively affects creative problem-solving and how it can be prevented by reducing the activation level of misleading thoughts.
L1 production following brief L2 exposure: Evidence for cross-talk across comprehension and production
Authors: Degani Tamar , Kreiner Hamutal , Declerck Mathieu 
Published: September 2024

AbstractLanguage control allows bilinguals to fluently shift between their languages. Here, we tested whether comprehension and production tasks initiate language control processes to the same extent, and whether these processes operate over specific concepts or globally. Seventy Hebrew–English bilinguals completed an L1 picture-naming production task in the first and third blocks, and either a reading aloud (word production) or an animacy judgment (word comprehension) task in their L2 in the second block. Further, concepts were either repeated across blocks or not. Results showed more filled pauses in the third block relative to the first block. Additionally, the size of this blocked-language order effect was similar following word production and word comprehension tasks in the L2, suggesting that production and comprehension tasks were similarly efficient in instigating control processes. Finally, both recurring and new concepts were affected, suggesting that mostly global language control is at play. These findings provide constraining evidence for fully understanding the scope of bilingual language control.

Published: September 2024

ObjectiveTo characterize the relationship between the frequency of idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA) and characteristics including demographics, comorbidities, military service history, and physical health in a veteran population.MethodsWe performed a cohort study in the Million Veteran Program (MVP) using International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th revision codes to define the frequency of site-specific OA across 3 joints or unspecified OA in veterans with respect to demographics (eg, age, sex, race and ethnicity), military service data, detailed electronic health records, military branch, and war era.ResultsWe validated previous reports of sex- and age-dependent differences in OA frequency, and we identified that unspecified OA was associated with a higher frequency of 16 Deyo-Charlson comorbidities. These associations generally persisted within each isolated joint site–specific OA. Depending on military branch, prior military engagement was differentially associated with the frequency of OA. Prior United States Army and Navy service were associated with higher and lower risk, respectively, of OA across all joint sites; however, multivariable-adjusted models adjusting for a range of covariates, including age, sex, and ancestry, reversed the apparent protective effect of prior Navy service.ConclusionThese findings highlight the breadth of factors associated with OA in the MVP veteran population and suggest that physical status may be a modifiable risk factor for OA. This work may help in the design of strategies to optimize appropriate detection, intervention, treatment, and even rehabilitation for OA in veterans and the general population.
Tumor-derived Exosomes and Antitumor Immunity
Authors: Whiteside Theresa L 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint blockade, has been approved for treatment of patients with many cancer types. However, some patients fail to respond to immunotherapy, and emerging evidence indicates that tumor-derived exosomes (TEX) play a major role in reprogramming the host immune cells by inducing their dysfunction. Focusing on effector T cells, this review illustrates mechanisms of suppression that TEX use, thus promoting tumor escape from the host immune system. TEX carry multiple suppressive signals that drive T cell dysfunction and convert the tumor microenvironment into “an immune desert” in which activated T cells either die or are reprogrammed to mediate protumor functions. The reprogrammed T cells produce a new crop of CD3+ immunoinhibitory exosomes that further amplify suppression mediated by TEX. The result is a profound depletion of antitumor immune effector cells that reflects the defective immune competence of the cancer patient and partly explains why TEX are a significant barrier for cancer immunotherapy.

Published: September 2024

The article analyzes data on the production of new intergenomic hybrids involving the species Gossypium thurberi Tod., Gossypium raimondii Ulbr., Gossypium arboreum L., Gossypium hirsutum L., Gossypium barbadense L., belonging to genome groups D1, D5 A2 cotton and presents the results of some cytological studies of the resulting hybrids. As a result of experiments using the method of interspecific hybridization, an amphidiploid {[(G. thurberi Tod. × G. raimondii Ulbr.) × G. arboreum L.] × G. hirsutum L.} with a complex genetic basis was obtained. Based on the hybridization of the resulting amphidiploid with cultivars of the species G. barbadense L. and G. hirsutum L., interspecific complex hybrids were synthesized, including 4 species with hybridization of 46.7-55.1% and including 5 species with hybridization of 24.6-31.3%.By interspecific hybridization and backcrosses, valuable source material for the cotton breeding has been created. Valuable introgressed lines having high productivity and high quality, which are at various stages of testing have been realized. Cytological analysis of the hybrids revealed that they were true interspecific crosses. Observations of meiotic metaphase chromosomes indicated the degree of relatedness between species.
Positive inclusive experiences of a same-sex desiring male Foundation Phase teacher
Authors: Kagola Obakeng 
Published: September 2024

Background: Much work has been done to realise the discourse of diversity and gender equality in the perceived feminised Foundation Phase (FP) of teaching and learning. Part of the work was done through the inclusion of males in FP teaching to provide learners and teachers alike with diverse learning experiences. In South Africa, most research focuses on why FP teaching remains a feminised space, the marginalisation of few male FP teachers. However, less is known about male FP teachers’ positive inclusive experiences.Objectives: To contribute to the discussion by presenting Camagu’s case study, a same-sex desiring male FP teacher, and his positive inclusive experiences in a conservative context in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa.Methods: A qualitative single case study methodology employing photovoice to elicit Camagu’s positive inclusive experiences in FP teaching.Results: Findings revealed positive inclusive practices implemented by the school, discussed under two themes: Finding a sense of belonging through school structures and ‘It’s nice to have someone as different as you in the school …’ - Learners’ perspective.Conclusion: The study suggests a need for increased support for school leadership and teachers to promote inclusive policies and practices affirming diverse identities of all learners and teachers.Contribution: Camagu’s experiences offer new research dimension by sharing best practices for fostering inclusive school environments. The study challenges deeply rooted gender norms in South African education, particularly in FP teaching. It advocates for inclusion and acceptance of male teachers, regardless of their diverse gender and sexual orientations, promoting gender diversity.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background:
Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses found across all ages, genders and socioeconomic status. It has significant health, psychosocial, and economic impact. It is worse than many chronic medical diseases and has a negative effect on quality of life which persists even after remission.

Objectives:
The aim of this research was to study the relationship of major depressive disorder with quality of life and stressful life events in adults.

Materials and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study wherein purposive sampling method was employed. Patients from psychiatry outpatient department who fulfilled the criteria for major depressive disorder and belonging to the age range of 18–75 years were shortlisted and requested to participate in the study. After taking informed consent, data on quality of life, enjoyment and satisfaction, stressful life events and severity of depression were gathered using questionnaires and a semi structured interview.

Results:
Severity of depression was found to be negatively correlated with quality of life, enjoyment and satisfaction P = 0.001 level of significance. There were no significant correlations between severity of depression and stressful life events. Pearson’s Chi-square indicated that the severity of depression has a significant association with highest educational qualification, occupation, marital status, and socioeconomic status.

Conclusion:
Measuring and keeping track of quality of life through self-report levels is important in improving depressive disorders and should be integral part of management. Other steps comprise of starting early treatment, ensuring treatment adherence, reducing severity, and reducing relapse. Psychosocial interventions should also be taken into consideration.

Purpose
This study aims to compare the early functional outcome of anatomic reconstruction of chronic lateral ankle instability with polyester tape reinforcement versus suture anchor repair.

Patients and Methods
Sixty patients suffering from chronic lateral ankle instability were included. Thirty patients were treated by anatomic reconstruction of the injured ligaments and reinforcement with polyester tape and the other half was treated by suture anchors in our institution with a minimum period of 6 months follow-up. The postoperative results were assessed according to the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgery (AOFAS) scoring system for hind-foot.

Results
AOFAS score is improved postoperatively in both techniques without statistically significant difference (P=0.084). The results of the two techniques were comparable without statistically significant difference regarding pain, walking distance, hindfoot motion, foot alignment, activity limitation and support requirement (P=0.602, 0.067, 0.582, 0.448, 0.606, respectively). All the studied cases returned to their original activity level.

Introduction
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common congenital anomaly in children. It includes a spectrum of anatomic abnormalities ranging from acetabular dysplasia to frank hip dislocation. Avascular necrosis (AVN) is one of the main complications associated with the treatment of DDH. It is a devastating problem that can lead to acetabular dysplasia and joint incongruity and cause premature osteoarthritis. The study aims to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of AVN after open reduction of developmental dislocation of the hip in children after walking age.

Patients and methods
Between the period of April 2014 and April 2019, a retrospective cohort evaluation of DDH cases was managed by surgery in the form of open reduction and pelvic osteotomy with or without femoral shortening. All grades of Tönnis classification were included. This study included 200 cases with an age range from 1 to 7 years, and the average age is 3.5 years at the time of last follow-up. The mean follow was 2.29 years, which ranged from 1 to 4 years. Plain radiography obtained in anteroposterior and frog lateral views after 1 year follow-up to diagnosis AVN as established in the literature.

Results
In this study, the mean time of intervention was 2.26 ± 0.97 years with an age range from 1 to 5 years. Twenty-six (13%) cases were managed only by open reduction and capsulorrhaphy, 174 (72.5%) cases had pelvic osteotomies, either Salter or Dega osteotomy, of whom 104 had femoral shortening and derotational osteotomy (59.77%). No AVN was reported in 159 (79.5%) cases, while AVN was evident in 41 (20.5%) cases.

Discussion
Incidence of AVN after open reduction depend on variable factor discussed in this study with total incidence of AVN 41 (20.5%) cases. This result is similar to other studies, with the incidence of AVN ranging from 15 to 30%. In the present study, the incidence of AVN increased 17 times in cases with postoperative immobilization in the hip spica more than or equal to 60° in the form of 21 cases showed AVN.

Conclusion
Postoperative hip immobilization in spica less than 60° as children with postoperative hip abduction more than or equal to 60° showed an increase incidence of AVN.

Published: September 2024

Digitalization of the economy is a complex phenomenon, on the one hand, aimed at increasing the innovation and competitiveness of industries, but on the other, requiring significant resources. And the benefits of implementing a digital transformation policy for specific enterprises do not always outweigh the resource intensity or negative aspects of the process. Therefore, studying the effectiveness of digitalization in the context of individual enterprises, industries and regions is of decisive importance for planning expenses for these segments of activity. The current work is devoted to the analysis of statistical surveys of enterprises for 2022 on the effectiveness of implementing digital solutions in their work, both in terms of economic effect and practical benefits in other aspects of the company’s activities.
A STEP INTO THE FUTURE
(review of the book “Russian economy: who is to blame? What to do?”)
Authors: Pletnev Dmitri A. 
Published: September 2024

The review provides an overview of the main ideas of the book with the catchy title “Russian Economy: Who is to Blame? What to do?”, prepared by a team of authors under the leadership of Doctor of Economics, Professor S. I. Kretov. The monograph’s breakthrough ideas are noted, including the proposal to form a new contour of the circulation sphere, based on Free Sovereign Development Certificates (USSR rubles with demurrage). The authors’ proposals will make it possible to form a sovereign circulation system, which assumes the priority of the production sector and serves its needs. The ideas expressed deserve their thoughtful critical assessment by the academic and professional community, testing in model industries and, I hope, subsequent implementation. Separately, the relevance of the proposals made back in 2021 is noted, as well as their practical value for solving the problems of developing the Russian economy.

Enhancing the sustainable development of investment funds: a study of the stock market in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen The Hoan  
Published: September 2024

Stock investment funds play an important role in the development of the stock market by creating demand for the market, while increasing the professionalism of market activities. With expertise, the ability to access and process information effectively, investment funds will bring benefits to all participants. The role of stock investment funds becomes even more important in developing countries where market information is often imperfect and the state's warning systems and control capabilities are limited. In Vietnam, the strong growth of the stock market over the past 10 years has been the foundation for the formation and development of stock investment funds. However, Vietnam's fund industry has only started to take shape in the last 5 years. Up to now, there are only 24 domestic closed-end stock investment funds operating on the Vietnamese stock market, with limited size and diversity of fund products compared to the market potential. At the same time, the stock investment funds themselves have not yet promoted their role in attracting investment capital, leading individual investors, and contributing to the stability of the stock market during their existence.
