#Blessed: the moderating effect of dispositional gratitude on the relationship between social comparison and envy on Instagram
Authors: Kaminger Stella , Roth Leopold Helmut Otto , Laireiter Anton-Rupert 
Published: October 2023

IntroductionThe role of dispositional gratitude as a positive psychological resource and prosocial personality trait in real life interactions militates in favor of its introduction to the research field of social media.MethodsBased on a literature review of the previously studied relationship of dispositional gratitude with social comparison and envy in offline settings, a twofold moderation model was proposed and quantitatively tested in a cross-sectional sample of N = 268 Instagram users aged between 18 and 40 years. Additionally, the dual conceptualization of benign and malicious envy was scrutinized by validating its respective connections with affective outcomes and inspiration on Instagram.Results and discussionDispositional gratitude serves as a protective factor when using Instagram by significantly mitigating the relationship of social comparison and malicious as well as general envy on Instagram. Furthermore, the results support the more nuanced understanding of envy as a dual construct in the face of social media use.
The ventral capsule and ventral striatum—Stereotactic targets for the management of treatment-resistant depression. A systematic literature review
Authors: Sobstyl Michał , Prokopienko Marek , Pietras Tadeusz 
Published: October 2023

BackgroundDeep brain stimulation (DBS) is still an experimental treatment modality for psychiatric disorders including treatment-resistant depression (TRD). There is preliminary evidence that stimulation of brain reward circuit structures including the ventral striatum (VS) may exert an antidepressant effect. The main nucleus of the reward circuit is the nucleus accumbens (NAc). The NAc is a major structure of VS that plays a critical role in reward-seeking behavior, motivation, and addiction.AimsThis study aimed to review the current studies including randomized clinical trials, open-label trials, and case reports of NAc/VS and VC DBS for TRD in humans.MethodThe literature was reviewed using a medical database—Medical Literature, Analysis, and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) on NAc/VS or VC DBS in TRD. The identified studies were assessed based on the patient's characteristics, clinical outcomes, and adverse events related to DBS as well as the stereotactic technique used to guide the implantation of DBS electrodes. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of DBS for TRD were presented and discussed.ResultsThe searched literature revealed one case report, three open-label studies (OLS), one multicenter open-label study (mOLS), and two randomized clinical trials (RCTs). There were three additional studies reporting the clinical outcomes in the long term in TRD patients included in the two mentioned RCTs. The total number of patients with TRD treated by NAc/VS or VC is estimated to be 85 individuals worldwide. The response rate to DBS defined as a 50% reduction of postoperative Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores was achieved in 39.8% of the operated patients (range, 23–53%). The remission defined as MADRS scores of &lt; 10 was found in 17.8% after DBS (range, 0–40%). The mean follow-up was 19.7 months (range 3.7–24 months).ConclusionThe current results of NAc/VS and VC DBS are still limited by a relatively small number of patients treated worldwide. Nevertheless, the results suggest that NAc/VS and VC can be regarded as promising and efficacious targets for DBS, taking into account the response and remission rates among TRD patients with no other treatment option. The adverse events of NAc/VS and VC DBS are reversible due to the adjustment of stimulation parameters. The most common adverse events were hypomanic/manic states, suicidal thoughts/attempts, and suicides. Patients with TRD after NAc/VS and VC DBS should be strictly followed to prevent or diminish these stimulation-induced adverse events.

Published: October 2023

Climate change and low agricultural productivity are the major hurdles facing sorghum farming in the Lake Zone Region of Tanzania. However, there is limited information on the contribution of sustainable projects in greening the sorghum value chain in Tanzania. This study aims to analyze how to develop a resilient and sustainable sorghum value chain using a project approach. Primary and secondary data were collected and used. Primary data were collected using key informant interviews (KII) administered to the value chain actors using audio recordings and notes. Secondary data were obtained from project-related project documents, reports, publications, and conference proceedings. The audio recordings were transcribed into lengthy notes summarized for ease of interview theme identification. To enhance access to improved seeds and fertilizers and advisory services, a linkage between the agro-dealers (input suppliers), farmers, and extension personnel was established to improve farmers’ yield potential. Good agricultural practices, e.g., planting methods and pest management and improved seed varieties that were drought tolerant, early maturing, and high yielding, such as Macia and Tegemeo, were readily available in shops and promoted through the establishment of demo plots. Local aggregation of sorghum grain helped to ease transport-to-market logistics for farmers and contributed to lower transport costs. Mechanized threshing was promoted to ensure the high-quality crop is sold to the off-taker for premium prices and meets the export market requirements. We highlight the Lake Zone project experiences and lessons learned to demonstrate the potential for building resilience and sustainability of the sorghum value chain.

Spin-filter device using the Zeeman effect with realistic channel and structure parameters
Authors: Komatsu Soh , Akabori Masashi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We have theoretically calculated the performance of a Zeeman-type spin polarizer, which consists of ferromagnetic (FM) and metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) gate nanostructures on top of an InAs two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel. For the calculations, we have taken a realistic electron concentration, electron effective mass and the effective g-factor of the InAs 2DEG into account. In addition, we have assumed realistic FM and MIS structure sizes by conventional electron beam lithography. In the calculations, we have demonstrated clear oscillation of spin polarization over ±85%. Furthermore, we have shown that it works not only as a spin-polarized current generator but also a detector. In addition, we have proposed a novel spin-filter device utilizing the Zeeman-type spin polarizers. We have found that its conductance characterization allows us to evaluate the operation of Zeeman-type spin polarizers. We expect the Zeeman-type spin polarizers and spin-filter devices to open up a new field of spintronics.

Michał Chomiński i Jan Królikowski w obiektywie Konrada Brandla: Spojrzenie na polską fotografię teatralną 2. połowy XIX wieku
Authors: Ziętkiewicz Marta 
Published: October 2023

Na początku roku 1866 warszawskie studio fotograficzne Konrada Brandla wykonało serię fotografii dwóch znanych aktorów dramatycznych, Michała Chomińskiego i Jana Królikowskiego. Aktorzy zostali uwiecznieni w kostiumach scenicznych, w odtwarzanych przed obiektywem fragmentach wybranych ról ze swojego bogatego repertuaru. Fotografie te, rozpowszechniane zarówno jako odbitki, jak i reprodukcje publikowane w ilustrowanym tygodniku "Kłosy", należą do najbardziej rozpoznawalnych portretów polskich aktorów XIX wieku. Omawiane fotografie są dobrze znane historykom teatru i wielokrotnie były wykorzystywane jako materiał ilustracyjny. Autorka jednak proponuje, aby nie traktować ich wyłącznie jako obrazów dokumentujących sytuację sceniczną, lecz podjąć próbę zrozumienia okoliczności ich powstania i odtworzenia tego, co aktorzy i fotograf zamierzali przekazać publiczności. Dla Chomińskiego, Królikowskiego i Brandla zdjęcia były środkiem służącym podnoszeniu statusu zawodowego i społecznego oraz kreowaniu wizerunku. Portrety zyskały dodatkowe znaczenia, często różne od tych, które pierwotnie mieli na myśli ich twórcy, gdy zaczęły ukazywać się w prasie i trafiać do prywatnych albumów fotograficznych, by później stać się częścią zbiorów muzealnych lub archiwalnych. Interdyscyplinarne badania nad historią fotografii i teatru pozwalają lepiej zrozumieć kulturowe mechanizmy owocujące masową produkcją portretów aktorów w rolach. W rezultacie fotografie stają się dokumentem, który może nam wiele powiedzieć nie tylko o historii fotografii i teatru, ale także o historii społecznego porządku, w jakim funkcjonowały.

Numerical simulation of seismically isolated buildings with friction pendulum bearings
Authors: Nizomov D. N. , Sanginov A. M. 
Published: October 2023

Introduction. At present, in Tajikistan, buildings and structures are designed and constructed on the basis of passive methods of ensuring seismic resistance, which ultimately leads to an increase in stiffness and weight of structures and, accordingly, in seismic load. The present paper analyses seismic isolation of buildings provided by friction pendulum bearings. The dynamic model of the object under study is represented as a system consisting of a superstructure, substructure and seismic isolation.Aim. To contribute to the development of methods for analysis and evaluation of seismic isolation and earthquake protection of buildings and structures in order to justify the conditions for their effective application in earthquake-resistant construction on the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan.Materials and methods. The authors used methods of structural mechanics, structural dynamics, and numerical simulation. The research methodology involves mathematical modeling of the systems under consideration, numerical analysis, comparison of the obtained results with the available data. Experimental investigation was carried out on a building fragment model and a vibration platform.Results. The authors developed a mathematical model for investigating the stress-strain state of a building with friction pendulum bearings subjected to various external influences, including seismic ones. The differential equation system using successive approximations is transformed into a system of algebraic equations, which is solved at each time step. On the basis of the created algorithm, the authors developed a computer program in Fortran and obtained the numerical results of the dynamic calculation for a multistory building with friction pendulum bearings. The results from the action of an instantaneous impulse are obtained on the example of a 10-story frame building.Conclusions. The results show that the application of seismic isolation in the form of friction pendulum bearings leads to a significant reduction of internal forces in the support part, as well as to a reduction of velocity and acceleration in the upper part of the building compared to the model without seismic isolation bearings. At the same time, the deflections of both the lower and upper parts of the investigated object slightly increase.
