Published: December 2023

IntroductionGame cheating (i.e., behavior of violating rules in games by using unregulated Software or assistive devices to gain advantage) poses a fatal problem as it destroys fair competition systems and negatively impacts the game ecosystem. Game cheating is reported to be common in competitive online games because they stimulate strongly a user’s motivation and psychological needs. However, there is still in lack of academic research which focused on the issue from the psycho-social perspective.MethodsThis study investigated the relationships between basic psychological needs (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and motivation (i.e., intrinsic and extrinsic) based on self-determination theory, and examined their effects on the degree of game cheating with survey data of 322 gamers in a competitive online gaming community.ResultsThe results showed the opposite associations between the two forms of motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) and game cheating. On one hand, extrinsic motivation decreased by autonomy enhanced the degree of game cheating. On the other hand, intrinsic motivation increased by both autonomy and relatedness finally abated game cheating. Competence did not influence any form of motivation. The results indicated that people motivated by interest or enjoyment (i.e., intrinsic motivation) of the game tend to view game cheating negatively while those motivated by game victory and rewards are likely to have positive attitudes toward game cheating. Increasing the degree of user autonomy and social relations in the game could decrease game cheating through the enhancement of intrinsic motivation.DiscussionDigital game cheating is a crucial problem threatening the spread of game culture and the growth of the eSports industry. The findings of this study reveal the influence of psychological needs and intrinsic motivation related to ‘game cheating,’ providing valuable guidelines in educational and policy aspects.

Published: December 2023

BackgroundNature-based therapy (NBT), which centers around engaging in activities within natural surroundings, has consistently demonstrated therapeutic benefits for mental health. While NBT highlights the potential of nature as a therapeutic resource for promoting mental health, there is limited knowledge regarding its underlying mechanisms.MethodsTwo hundred seventy-six Korean participants (204 women, mean age = 54.99 ± 23.25 years) participated in a 30-session gardening program held twice weekly for 15 weeks. Structural equation modeling with a two-wave autoregressive cross-lagged model was used to investigate the mediating effects of mindfulness.ResultsNBT significantly improved the mean scores of all psychological variables. The mediation model was partially confirmed, with mindfulness at post-intervention (T2) mediating the relationship between baseline (T1) depression and anxiety and post-intervention (T2) life satisfaction. However, no significant indirect effect was observed between the path from stress (T1) to life satisfaction (T2).ConclusionMindfulness is a crucial component for improving mental health outcomes. This study underscores the need to prioritize and emphasize mindfulness practices in NBT.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic brought an increased incidence of disease and mortality in the world at large, making it a particularly salient and stressful life event. For those individuals residing in Latin America, the pandemic was met with fragmented healthcare systems, economic downturn, and sociopolitical crisis which puts autistic individuals at risk for more detrimental outcomes. Behavioral and emotional challenges experienced by autistic individuals at the beginning of the pandemic could later develop into more severe symptomatology as the pandemic progresses. The present study aimed to explore changes in dysregulated (overt and internalizing) behaviors and preoccupation with getting sick during the COVID-19 pandemic among autistic children in 7 Latin American countries.MethodSample consisted of 1,743 caregivers, residing in: Argentina (n = 677, 38.8%) Brazil (n = 156, 9%), Chile (n = 251, 14.4%), Dominican Republic (n = 171, 9.8%), Mexico (n = 126, 7.2%), Uruguay (n = 259, 14.9%) and Venezuela (n = 103, 5.9%). The majority of caregivers who completed the questionnaire were mothers (85.1%), and most had a male autistic child (81.6%). A series of independent sample t-tests were conducted to assess country differences in dysregulated behaviors and preoccupation with getting sick. Linear regressions were conducted to identify which demographic characteristics and micro-level contextual factors predicted dysregulated overt behaviors and psychological changes.ResultsContextual factors, such as country of residence, were related to preoccupation with getting sick and dysregulated behavior. Particularly, residing in Mexico and Brazil were related to changes in preoccupation with getting sick and mental health concerns. Coexistence predicted dysregulated internalizing behaviors, while being older significantly predicted preoccupation with getting sick. Increased screen time only predicted anxiety.ConclusionOur findings highlight differences and predictions of behavioral challenges and psychological changes based on certain contextual factors and individual characteristics while experiencing severe life stressors such as a worldwide pandemic. This knowledge could help inform policies and decrees aimed at protecting those most vulnerable due to their increased difficulty adapting to change.
Quality of life for people with psychiatric disabilities employed in extended employment programs in two Arab towns in Israel: an exploratory study
Authors: Badran Leena , Rosenbaum Stephen , Rimmerman Arik 
Published: December 2023

IntroductionThis study aims to examine the quality of life (QOL) for people with psychiatric disabilities who are engaged in extended employment programs (homogeneous versus heterogeneous) in the Arab-populated Triangle Area of Israel. The homogeneous program participants are exclusively Arab while the heterogeneous program includes both Arabs and Jews.MethodsQuantitative research study of 104 adults with psychiatric disabilities engaged in two communal extended employment programs. Participants completed demographic (age (years), gender, marital status (married, widowed/separated, married, single), religion (Muslim, Jewish, Christian), dichotomous nationality variable (Jewish/Arab), and years of education) and employment questionnaires (length of time in the employment program, number of working days/h and salary satisfaction); SF 12 Scale; and The Personal Wellbeing Index questionnaire. Two-sample T-Test, exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regressions were conducted for tracking the differences between participants in homogeneous and heterogeneous programs.ResultsA significant difference was found between the programs in two QOL components, insofar as satisfaction with the standard of living, together with health satisfaction were rated higher for participants in the heterogeneous program than for their homogeneous program counterparts. Furthermore, the results indicate that physical health and gender were the most important variables in explaining QOL in both programs, while the employment variables were not significant.DiscussionSince the research findings show that the employment-related-items aren’t significant in predicting the employees’ QOL, the definition and suitability of extended employment environments as a mental health service must be reexamined. Cultural elements may also have an impact on QOL when the programs are located in a traditional town, with gender playing a key role. The family’s role is pivotal in traditional societies, influencing an individual’s ability to participate in employment programs and the support they receive. In patriarchal societies, there can be added pressure on men with psychiatric disabilities to conform to societal expectations. Given the general lack of health awareness in Arab communities, there is a need to develop additional projects or incorporate physical health improvement as a rehabilitation goal when working with individuals with psychiatric disabilities, regardless of the type of community rehabilitation program.

BackgroundFrequent air pollution events in Northwest China pose a serious threat to human health. However, there is a lack of specific differences assessment in PM2.5-related disease burden. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the PM2.5-related premature deaths and health economic losses in this typical northwest region, taking into account disease-specific, age-specific, and region-specific factors.MethodsWe utilized the WRF-Chem model to simulate and analyze the characteristics and exposure levels of PM2.5 pollution in Gansu Province, a typical region of Northwest China. Subsequently, we estimated the premature mortality and health economic losses associated with PM2.5 by combining the Global Exposure Mortality Model (GEMM) and the Value of a Statistical Life (VSL).ResultsThe results suggested that the PM2.5 concentrations in Gansu Province in 2019 varied spatially, with a decrease from north to south. The number of non-accidental deaths attributable to PM2.5 pollution was estimated to be 14,224 (95% CI: 11,716–16,689), accounting for 8.6% of the total number of deaths. The PM2.5-related health economic loss amounted to 28.66 (95% CI: 23.61–33.63) billion yuan, equivalent to 3.3% of the regional gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke were the leading causes of PM2.5-attributed deaths, contributing to 50.6% of the total. Older adult individuals aged 60 and above accounted for over 80% of all age-related disease deaths. Lanzhou had a higher number of attributable deaths and health economic losses compared to other regions. Although the number of PM2.5-attributed deaths was lower in the Hexi Corridor region, the per capita health economic loss was higher.ConclusionGansu Province exhibits distinct regional characteristics in terms of PM2.5 pollution as well as disease- and age-specific health burdens. This highlights the significance of implementing tailored measures that are specific to local conditions to mitigate the health risks and economic ramifications associated with PM2.5 pollution.

Published: December 2023

IntroductionThe industrial activity constitutes one of the most driving sectors of a nation, as it is often considered at the center of public debate as the fulcrum of development policies. However, considering the climate impacts generated, many industries have necessarily changed, relocated, and/or interrupted their production. Due to the connection of industrial sites with the socio-economic, environmental, and health systems of cities, the real estate market dynamics can be differently affected by the presence of polluting industrial sites. With reference to the Italian context, the goal of the research is to, firstly, verify whether there is a functional relationship between the presence of polluting industrial sites and the residential real estate market dynamics, for then determining its type and the extent of purchase price affection.MethodThe proposed logical-evaluative model is based on the application of an econometric technique for investigating the significance of the industrial sites on the residential real estate dynamics through a set of technological, locational, and health variables.ResultsThe obtained results show that the total surface area of the polluting sites, the activity level and the industrial plant opening date are among the most relevant variables, instead the accessibility to the industrial site does not influence the real estate market dynamics.Discussion and practical implicationsThe main practical implication of the present research consists of the possibility to provide a support for the activation of strategies aimed at adopting sustainable development models in the industrial sector.
Case Report: Recurrent pediatric cavernous malformation of the trigeminal nerve
Authors: Harty Mikhail , Baqai Muhammad Waqas Saeed , Sajjad Jahangir , Fellows Greg , Clamp Philip J. , Abhinav Kumar 
Published: December 2023

BackgroundMost cavernous malformations (CM) usually involve the parenchyma and rarely occur in cranial nerves. Recurrence of CM associated with cranial nerves after surgical resection has not been previously reported.Case descriptionThis paper describes the case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with left otalgia and headache because of a left trigeminal cavernous malformation. She underwent radical resection via a left retrosigmoid approach while sparing the trigeminal nerve. Surveillance imaging at 18 months demonstrated recurrence along the length of the trigeminal nerve into Meckel's cave with significant extension into the middle cerebellar peduncle. Subsequent re-operation via an extended middle fossa approach with anterior petrosectomy enabled complete resection with division of the trigeminal nerve. Postoperatively, she had a transient left facial paresis, and right hemiparesis that resolved within 48 h.ConclusionThis case highlights the importance of close postoperative surveillance in CM associated with cranial nerves as recurrence after nerve-sparing resection is possible. Surgical treatment due to the morphology of significant recurrence required the use of a complex skull base approach through a new corridor to achieve optimal clinical outcome.
Public Attitudes Towards Vaccine Passports in Alberta During the “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated”: A Qualitative Analysis of Reddit Posts
Authors: Rotolo Bobbi , Bin Noon Gaya , Chen Helen Hong , Butt Zahid Ahmad 
Published: December 2023

Objective: The goal of this study is to understand the attitudes and beliefs towards mandatory vaccination policies in Alberta, Canada in September 2021, during the fourth wave of COVID-19.Methods: 9400 posts between 1st September and 30th September 2021 were collected from the subreddit r/Alberta with Pushshift.io. Posts and comments were manually screened to determine their relevance to research objectives, and then coded using inductive coding and iterative qualitative analysis methods.Results: Inductive coding methods yielded five key themes: 1) opinions related to autonomy and consent, 2) concerns about COVID-19 vaccine passport enforcement, 3) concerns about government, 4) concerns about the logistics of passports, and 5) opinions relating to the necessity of passports to prevent lockdowns.Conclusion: Overall, the data presented favorable opinions towards an Albertan vaccine passport within r/Alberta. Anti-vaccine and anti-mandate opinions were often less extreme than those present in the literature, although this may be due to r/Alberta subreddit moderators removing those more extreme comments. Most reservations were due to issues of bodily autonomy, though concerns about the government and logistics also played a meaningful role.
On q-Hermite–Hadamard Type Inequalities via s-Convexity and (α,m)-Convexity
Authors: Ciurdariu Loredana , Grecu Eugenia 
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the paper is to present new q-parametrized Hermite–Hadamard-like type integral inequalities for functions whose third quantum derivatives in absolute values are s-convex and (α,m)-convex, respectively. Two new q-integral identities are presented for three time q-differentiable functions. These lemmas are used like basic elements in our proofs, along with several important tools like q-power mean inequality, and q-Holder’s inequality. In a special case, a non-trivial example is considered for a specific parameter and this case illustrates the investigated results. We make links between these findings and several previous discoveries from the literature.
Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous of eastern Wollaston Forland, North-East Greenland: a distal marine record of an evolving rift

Published: December 2023

Two drill cores covering the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous succession in Wollaston Forland, NE Greenland, offer an exceptional insight into mud-accumulation in an evolving distal fault block. Previous studies have revealed the presence of long-lasting black mudstone accumulation extending through the oxygen-restricted early rift and rift climax phases (Bernbjerg and Lindemans Bugt Formations). Here, we revisit the depositional evolution recorded in these cores to present a detailed description of the sedimentary succession extending into the late syn-rift settings (Palnatokes Bjerg and Stratumbjerg Formations). The results indicate that the Kimmeridgian – lower Volgian early rift-phase was characterized by suspension settling, laminae-scale event deposition in a tectonically-affected, prodeltaic offshore setting. The event-related depositional processes are expressed by starved wave-ripples, scour-and-fill structures, putative mud floccule ripples, and mud-dominated gravity-flow deposits. During the middle Volgian – Ryazanian rift climax phase, the depositional environment evolved into a narrow half-graben that was detached from the proximal depocentre flanking the coarse sediment fueled deltaic coastline. The correlative sedimentary facies in the detached half-graben are bioclastic and pyrite-rich black mudstones documenting suspension settling and gravity flow/mass wasting deposition in sub-storm wave-base slope and basin-floor environments. Black shale sedimentation ended abruptly in the late Ryazanian when the accumulation of condensed, bioturbated deep sea marls was initiated linked to broader oceanographic reorganization concomitant with waning rift activity in the west. Deposition of red bioclastic mudstones with a common gravity-flow component characterized the Hauterivian, potentially representing final draping of the submerged fault block crest. The top of the cored succession is demarcated by the appearance of dark grey bioturbated mudstones of Barremian age, reflecting the onset of regionally continuous deep-sea mud accumulation in thermally subsidizing basins. Although superficially monotonous, the mudstone-dominated succession reveals a highly dynamic depositional system that reflects shifting marine processes during almost a full rift cycle.
Obraz wojny w twórczości pisarzy z czeskiego Śląska Cieszyńskiego
Authors: Raclavská Jana 
Published: December 2023

Obraz II wojny światowej w literaturze dotyczy najczęściej wydarzeń frontowych, bohaterstwa żołnierzy, tragizmu ludności cywilnej dotkniętej bezpośrednio działaniami wojennymi lub znajdującej się w obozach czy wywiezionej na roboty przymusowe. Wszystkie powyższe wątki znajdziemy w twórczości autorów z czeskiego Śląska Cieszyńskiego. Obraz wojny w literaturze został zaprezentowany na przykładzie tekstów dwu pisarzy: Henryka Jasiczka i Wiesława Adama Bergera, reprezentujących odmienne postawy artystyczne i polityczne oraz różną porę zaistnienia w świecie artystycznym. Łączyło ich przeżycie wojny w okresie wczesnej młodości i niezwykła wrażliwość na ludzkie nieszczęście nią spowodowane.

Authors: Slijepčević Dušanka , Dąbrowska-Prokopowska Ewa , Vejnović Duško 
Published: December 2023

The problem is the lack of consensus in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H).The subject are the characteristics of plural society (PS) in B&H and pluralist society, with a focus on consociational democracy (CD) and green consumerism (GC). Unresolved pre-political issues of B&H even in the 21st century condition the application of CD and alternative development solutions-GC and green and circular economy (GE,CE). Scientific goals are: description, understanding, explanation and prediction. Analytical-deductive and comparative methods are used, along with a case study of B&H. The main result is the discovery of GC, as a requirement of PS for sustainable development.
Changes in the gender structure at the University of Dubrovnik from its founding (2004/5) until (2022/3)
Authors: Stagl-Škaro Natalia , Ipšić Irena 
Published: December 2023

Women make up 40% of the world's workforce and half of the students' body in developed countries. Why then are there less and less women as we look upwards the academic hierarchy? The University of Dubrovnik is a relatively young institution and a good subject of research into gender structures of academics as there are no “old structures” and primary discrimination to overcome. The institutions' first yearbook was published in 2004; we note that there were only a few female professors at the University and one woman in a decision making position, at the time. Compared to the most recent yearbook published in 2021/22 (20 years later) the situation in regards to gender equality has changed radically due to employment of many young female researchers. Alas, men continue to dominate the hierarchy and we can trace a gap between “male” and “female” departments both in student's and teacher's bodies.
IMPERIAL POLICY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST INFANTICIDE (ON THE VOLYN PROVINCE EXAMPLE )
Authors: Maksymov Oleksandr 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyse the factors that have influenced the imperial legislation formation process on infanticide and to highlight the specifics of the court decisions execution related to this type of crime.
The research methodology is based on the general scientific principles of historicism, objectivity, systematicity and comprehensiveness. This has given an opportunity to examine infanticide in specific historical circumstances. Only real facts are offered with the help of archival cases, and all factors are considered that have influenced the outlined issues. The novelty of the paper is that the author analyses the information about the punishment to the women who have committed a crime against the child’s life for the first time in Ukraine (Volyn province) on the archival materials basis, and a wide range of other sources, as well as the factors that have determined the imperial policy towards such crimes.
Conclusions. During the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Russian Empire tended to mitigate sentences to women for such crimes as infanticide. A number of factors have led to this. Among them are: a relative insignificance of such crimes to the state, the development of medicine, in particular psychiatry, and, accordingly, a different view of the woman during childbirth. On the one hand, there is an increase in the level of humanity in society (frequent sympathy for criminals on the part of judges and jurors), and on the other, the low cost of a baby's life in modern society, which could be associated with significant overpopulation, particularly on the Right-Bank Ukraine.
