The neural implausibility of the diffusion decision model doesn’t matter for cognitive psychometrics, but the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model is better
Authors: Wang Jia-Shun , Donkin Christopher 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn cognitive psychometrics, the parameters of cognitive models are used as measurements of the processes underlying observed behavior. In decision making, the diffusion decision model (DDM) is by far the most commonly used cognitive psychometric tool. One concern when using this model is that more recent theoretical accounts of decision-making place more emphasis on neural plausibility, and thus incorporate many assumptions not found in the DDM. One such model is the Ising Decision Maker (IDM), which builds from the assumption that two pools of neurons with self-excitation and mutual inhibition receive perceptual input from external excitatory fields. In this study, we investigate whether the lack of such mechanisms in the DDM compromises its ability to measure the processes it does purport to measure. We cross-fit the DDM and IDM, and find that the conclusions of DDM would be mostly consistent with those from an analysis using a more neurally plausible model. We also show that the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Model (OUM) model, a variant of the DDM that includes the potential for leakage (or self-excitation), reaches similar conclusions to the DDM regarding the assumptions they share, while also sharing an interpretation with the IDM in terms of self-excitation (but not leakage). Since the OUM is relatively easy to fit to data, while being able to capture more neurally plausible mechanisms, we propose that it be considered an alternative cognitive psychometric tool to the DDM.

Parametric Decay of a Kinked Alfvén Wave Packet: 3D Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations
Authors: Marriott Maile , Tenerani Anna 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Large amplitude Alfvénic fluctuations, sometimes leading to localized inversions of the magnetic field, called switchbacks, are a common but poorly understood phenomenon in the solar wind. In particular, their origin(s), evolution, and stability within solar wind conditions are yet to be fully understood. Simulations modeling switchbacks have previously studied their stability in 2D. Here, we investigate the decay process of Alfvén wave packets via MHD simulations in 3D by characterizing the effects of system size, aspect ratio, and propagation angle on the decay rate. We show that the initial wave packet is unstable to parametric instabilities that develop compressible and Alfvénic secondary modes in the plane of, and transverse to, the initial wave packet propagation direction. The growth of transverse modes, absent in 2D simulations, increases the decay rate of the wave packet. We finally discuss the implications of our results for lifetime estimates of switchbacks and wave energy conversion in the solar wind.
Intentions d’usage et fonctions de l’image vidéo pour former
Authors: Pacquola Mariachiara , Olry Paul 
Published: May 2024

Les images vidéo sont aujourd’hui omniprésentes comme supports de la formation ou de la professionnalisation. Une majorité des images captées et exploitées le sont en effet au nom de référentiels, de situations didactiques attachées à un programme. Cet article s’intéresse aux fonctions que ces images vidéo peuvent jouer dans un processus de formation professionnelle qui ne connaît pas son objet. C’est le cas dans des univers techniques où des problèmes inédits surgissent : il s’agit alors d’instruire avec l’aide des images vidéo une double dynamique transformer/comprendre. Transformer les actions du travail mises à l’épreuve ici par de nécessaires modifications du procédé, sous contrainte d’un process de production similaire. Comprendre profondément les phénomènes en jeu dans la transformation pour être en capacité de les reproduire en action, mais également de les partager en les nommant et en les explicitant. L’ordre transformer/comprendre est subverti d’une part, par l’expérience antérieure des acteurs de la production et d’autre part, par un visionnage de vidéos qui suspend l’action pour donner du temps à la réflexion. Parce qu’elles font trace et qu’elles offrent la possibilité de retours sur l’action, le recours aux images vidéo joue plusieurs fonctions structurantes d’un parcours de formation, de patrimonialisation de savoir-faire et de processus productifs/transmissifs. Ces fonctions résultent de l’articulation des images comme données avec d’autres données d’enquêtes ethnographique, documentaire ou immersives. Elles se construisent par le statut complémentaire de cette articulation tour à tour i) compréhensive (par l’identification et la construction du problème productif) ; ii) transitionnelle du comprendre au transformer (par une opération de nommage qui amène à distinguer la description d’un procédé, sa charge conceptuelle, à son inscription et son usage dans le flux du travail) ; iii) délibérative de la pertinence de cette dynamique transformante sur la culture commune de métier entre les différentes parties prenantes.

Published: May 2024

Cet article explore l’influence de la modalité orale dans la résolution d’un problème géométrique donné à des élèves de 9-11 ans. Il bénéfice d’une double perspective : sciences du langage et didactique des mathématiques, avec une forte dimension sémiotique. Le problème consiste à produire un dessin à main levée à partir d’un court texte (lu aux élèves) qui décrit une figure géométrique. Les analyses s’appuient sur un recueil des signes qui définissent les actions multimodales de l’enseignante et des élèves : paroles, gestes, postures, tracés. Les élèves construisent une grande variété de dessins erronés, l’analyse des processus de tracé révèle des cheminements complexes chez les élèves. L’étude montre l’impact de la modalité orale sur la difficulté de la tâche. Elle questionne la pertinence de la modalité orale pour la tâche étudiée, et plus généralement pour tout problème de conversion d’un texte vers un dessin.
L’onomastique au service des personnages dans « Ce que le jour doit à la nuit » de Yasmina Khadra
Authors: Bouchakour Fatima Zohra 
Published: May 2024

Cet article porte sur l’attribution onomastique des personnages de Ce que le jour doit à la nuit de Yasmina Khadra. Le nom propre, aussi simple et anodin qu’il semble l’être, ne l’est pas. L’acte dénominatif romanesque est bien pensé. Le nom propre véhicule bien plus qu’on pourrait le croire, et ne se limite plus au simple fait de nommer. Il transcende sa fonction première. À présent, le nom propre est vecteur de message et devient un réceptacle d’une culture. À travers notre étude, nous tenterons de démontrer les liens interstitiels existants entre les personnages et les noms qu’on leur a conférés. Que soulignent les noms propres ? Sont-ils à l’image des personnages ou sont-ils à l’opposé de ce que leurs patronymes véhiculent ?
Yoga as an Adjuvant with Multimodal Psychological Interventions for Excessive Use of Technology: A Randomized Controlled Trial from India
Authors: Tadpatrikar Ashwini , Sharma Manoj Kumar , Bhargav Hemant , Anand Nitin , Sharma Priyamvada , Sharma Shubham 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background:
Multimodal approach of psychotherapy has been found to be effective for managing the excessive use of technology. Yoga, a holistic mind–body therapy, has been observed to be a useful adjuvant in managing substance use disorders. Yoga is also known to reduce stress and enhance overall well-being. The aim of this study was to examine whether yoga as an adjuvant treatment to psychotherapy is better than psychotherapy alone in reducing dysfunction and severity due to excessive technology use.

Methods:
A two-arm randomized controlled prospective study design was followed with assessor blinding and allocation concealment. Thirty consenting young adults (22 males), scoring above 36 on the Internet Addiction Test, were randomly allocated to either: Group A = psychotherapy + yoga or Group B = psychotherapy alone. Both groups received 8 sessions of psychotherapy in the 1st month. In addition, Group A received additional 10 sessions a specific yoga program (by trained professionals). After that, monthly booster sessions (supervised yoga sessions performed with direct one-on-one contact with the yoga therapist) were organized and post-assessment was conducted at 12 weeks. Each subject was assessed using the Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form, Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale at baseline and after 12 weeks.

Results:
As compared to Group B, Group A had significantly reduced Internet use (F = 5.61, P = 0.02, ηp
2 = 0.17), smartphone use (F = 4.76, P = 0.03, ηp
2 = 0.15), psychological distress (F = 7.71, P = 0.01, ηp
2 = 0.22), and weekday use (Z = −2.0, P = 0.05, ηp
2 = 0.15) along with enhanced treatment adherence and retention.

Conclusion:
Yoga as an adjuvant therapy with multimodal psychological intervention for excessive use of technology was found to be effective. This carries clinical implications for mental health professionals.
Cerebral Hemodynamics and Vagally Mediated HRV Associated with High- and Low-frequency Yoga Breathing: An Exploratory, Randomized, Crossover Study
Authors: Aacharya Chetan , Telles Shirley , Sharma Sachin Kumar 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background:
Volitionally modifying respiration leads to changes in middle cerebral arterial (MCA) blood flow. The effect of changes in breath rate on MCA blood flow has not been reported.

Aims and Objectives:
To determine the effect of slow (bumblebee yoga breathing) and fast (high frequency yoga breathing) yoga breathing techniques on MCA blood flow and vagally mediated heart rate variability.

Materials and Methods:
Thirty participants (mean age ± standard deviation, 27.3 ± 4.2 years) were assessed on 2 separate days practicing either high frequency yoga breathing (HFYB, breath frequency 54.2/min) or slow frequency bumblebee yoga breathing (BBYB, breath frequency 3.8/min) in random order to determine the effects of changes in breath frequency on MCA hemodynamics. Assessments included transcranial Doppler sonography, vagally mediated heart rate variability (VmHRV), and respiration.

Results:
Both HFYB and BBYB (i) reduced MCA flow velocities, i.e., peak systolic, end diastolic, and mean flow velocities, and (ii) increased MCA pulsatility indices. There was an increase in VmHRV during BBYB based on increased power in high frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF). LF reflects VmHRV for slow breath frequencies. In BBYB the average breath rate was 3.8 breaths/min. In contrast, VmHRV decreased during HFYB (based on reduced HF power; repeated measures analysis of variance, P < 0.05, all cases).

Conclusion:
Hence, irrespective of the differences in breath frequency, both HFYB and BBYB appear to reduce MCA flow velocities and increase the resistance to blood flow bilaterally, although the VmHRV changed in opposite directions. MCA velocity and pulsatility changes are speculated to be associated with low global neural activity during yoga breathing.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background:
Depression has been expected to be the second-leading cause of disability, followed by autism, attention and hyperactivity disorder, and learning disorder. Yoga therapy has found to be beneficial in managing psychiatric disorders.

Aim:
The present study undertakes a scoping review of research on yoga therapy in psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents.

Methods:
Online database was used to identify papers published 2004–2023, from which we selected 11 publications from the United States, Canada, Iran, India, and Australia that used yoga therapy as a primary outcome variable among participants aged 3 years or older.

Results:
The papers reviewed were randomized controlled trials. All studies examined yoga therapy, but one study used mindfulness-based therapy and used few techniques of yoga therapy. The studies examined the effect of yoga therapy on early childhood and adolescence on various psychiatric symptoms such as stress, inattention, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, and many more.

Conclusion:
While the quality of studies is generally high, research on yoga therapy among children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders would benefit from careful selection of methods and reference standards, suitability for yoga therapy, and prospective cohort studies linking early childhood exposures with yoga therapy outcomes throughout childhood and adolescence.

Abstract

Aims:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation (Yoga-CaRe) on the endothelial system, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI).

Methods:
A sub-study was conducted in two clinical sites of the Yoga-CaRe trial (a multicenter randomized controlled trial). Participants with acute MI were randomized and allocated to either the Yoga-CaRe program (13 sessions with encouragement to home practice) or enhanced standard care (three educational sessions). Endothelial function, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers were assessed using biomarkers such as asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), endothelin-1 (ET-1), E-selectin, P-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), intercellular cell-adhesion molecule-1, total nitric oxide concentration (NOx), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Oxd-LDL), superoxide dismutase, total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), and C-reactive protein (CRP) at baseline and 12 weeks. Laboratory and statistical analysis were done by staff blinded to group allocation.

Results:
Eighty-two patients (of the 110 patients recruited) completed the study. The mean age was 53.1 ± 10.6 and 51.9 ± 10.7 years in enhanced standard care and Yoga-CaRe group, respectively. At 12 weeks, Yoga-CaRe significantly reduced ADMA, ET-1, and ICMA-1 than the enhanced standard care group. Although E-selectin and VCAM at 12 weeks were reduced in both groups, enhanced standard care had a significantly higher reduction than the Yoga-CaRe group. Among markers of oxidative stress, TAOC increased in the Yoga-CaRe group. We found no difference in eNOS, NOx, P-selectin, TNFα, CRP, and Oxd-LDL between the two groups.

Conclusion:
Yoga-CaRe improved the endothelial function (through a reduction in ET-1 and modulating adhesion molecules) and enhanced antioxidant capacity.

Duration of Fever in Patients with Dengue: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Gupta Nitin , Boodman Carl , Jouego Christelle Genevieve , Van Den Broucke Steven 
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT.
Dengue is an acute febrile illness endemic to tropical countries and associated with high mortality rates. Despite being a viral infection, there is rampant misuse of antibiotics in patients with dengue because of perceived delay in defervescence and fear of secondary bacterial infections. Therefore, there is a need to establish the average fever duration with a confidence interval among patients with dengue. Studies up to October 21, 2022 from two databases (PubMed and Embase) were included using the search terms related to dengue and duration of fever. All retrieved articles were screened for eligibility by two independent reviewers. Studies where the average duration of fever was available were included for systematic review. Articles with at least more than 20 patients where a mean and standard deviation for the total duration of fever was available were included for meta-analysis. A total of 643 articles were included from the two databases after duplicate deletion. After two rounds of screening, 31 articles (n = 7,905) were finally included. The mean duration of fever in the 20 articles included for meta-analysis was 5.1 (95% CI: 4.7–5.5) days. Longer duration of fever was seen in those with a higher grade of fever, those with higher disease severity, and those with concurrent bacterial infections. In the absence of risk factors for concurrent bacteremia, antimicrobials may be unnecessary in those with dengue fever duration of less than 5.5 days.

ABSTRACT.
Nontyphoidal Salmonella is one of the major causes of self-limiting diarrheal disease and the most common foodborne pathogen worldwide. It is an important contributor to the burden of foodborne illness in South America, including Peru, where chicken and pork are important vehicles for Salmonella infection. Salmonella infections are underreported, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where concerted action tackling Salmonella along the chicken and pork chains, from primary production to retail, is urgently needed. To support and inform the implementation of new strategies to reduce Salmonella contamination of chicken and pork, this study describes the frequency and distribution of foodborne outbreaks attributed to Salmonella in Peru and evaluates the level of Salmonella in chicken and pork meat sold in markets of three regions of Peru. To that end, we analyzed historical reports of foodborne outbreaks, levels of Salmonella in chicken and pork sold in markets, and the number of mesophiles in the collected meat samples. As a result, the microbiological analysis reveals a widespread contamination of chicken (77.1%) and pork (26.8%) with Salmonella. It also pinpoints Salmonella as the causative agent in nearly half of the outbreaks (47.0%) where the potential origin is identified over a 11-year period with chicken, mayonnaise, and pork being the most likely food vehicles. These results suggest that Salmonella is a major contributor to foodborne illness in Peru and that the monitoring of mesophiles could be a good strategy for surveillance, generating data to support source attribution studies and ultimately evidence-informed policies.

O autor começa recordando como o “teste” positivo da primeira CFecumênica, realizada no ano 2000, serviu de incentivo para a decisão destasegunda CF ecumênica, cinco anos depois. A seguir, explica o contexto destaCF, realizada no meio da “Década para superar a violência”, com o objetivo deimpulsionar esse movimento. Fala da preparação da Campanha, de seusobjetivos, de sua organização e de suas ações concretas. Explica o que sedeve entender por “ecumenismo” e quais as características de uma CFecumênica. Por último, aborda a “natureza missionária” da CF ecumênica,insistindo em que ela é um programa global, que deveria absorver todas asenergias eclesiais. Dessa forma, ela conseguirá solidificar ainda mais o pactoecumênico dos cristãos e cristãs, contribuindo eficazmente para manter vivo oprocesso que nos aproxima da paz.Abstract: The author recalls a “test” launched by the first Brazilian “Campanha daFraternidade” in 2000 as an incentive to an oecumenical endeavour, which isnow being taken up again five years later with new initiatives to be taken intoaccount in the stages of preparation, in its aims and specific actions. The contextof this year’s “Campanha da Fraternidade” is the “Decade of overcomingviolence” so as to a give new incentive to this movement. An explanation isbeing offered for “oecumenism” to enhance more widely the “Campanha daFraternidade” for grater impact on various social groups. Finally he delves intothe missionary dimension of the oecumenical “Campanha da Fraternidade” inview of its wider program which should include all the ecclesial energies. In thisway it should strengthen the oecumenical link among Christian communities bya common effort to support the aim of promoting peace among various socialgroups.
