The scientistic worldview and its relationships with fear of COVID, conspiracy beliefs, preventive behaviors, and attitudes towards vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic in a Polish sample
Authors: Jach Łukasz 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundThe scientistic worldview is characterized by the tendency to justify beliefs and behavior with scientific findings and to function on the basis of theorems and opinions formulated by scientists. The aim of this study was to test whether the attitudes typical for the scientistic worldview could be related to beliefs and behaviors that may reduce the risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19.Participants and procedureThe study was conducted on a Polish sample of 1286 participants, using an online survey platform. Participants were asked to complete questionnaires to measure attitudes towards vaccines on COVID-19, the scientistic worldview, fear of COVID, conspiracy beliefs about the COVID-19 pandemic, and preventive behaviors undertaken. Participants were also asked about their personal experiences with the pandemic.ResultsThe study showed that the scientistic worldview was associated with a higher fear of COVID, a higher level of con-tainment-related behavior, a lower level of conspiracy beliefs about the COVID-19 pandemic, and more positive atti-tudes towards vaccination against COVID-19. A structural model of relations between the studied variables turned out to be very effective and explained 51% of the variance of containment-related behavior and 63% of the variance of attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccines.ConclusionsThe study found that preventive behaviors and attitudes towards vaccination against COVID-19 were weakly related to personal experiences during the pandemic but significantly correlated with psychological variables. The results suggest that very positive, scientistic attitudes towards science may be related to higher adherence to science-based public health recommendations.
The association between affective temperaments and insomnia as mediated by satisfaction with life: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Włodzimierz Oniszczenko 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundThe primary objectives of this study were to examine whether affective temperaments are associated with satisfac-tion with life; to determine whether satisfaction with life can mediate the relationship between affective tempera-ments and insomnia; and to reaffirm the relationship between affective temperaments and insomnia. We hypothe-sized that affective temperaments were associated directly and indirectly via satisfaction with life with insomnia.Participants and procedureA total of 497 participants aged 18 to 67 years, including 435 women and 62 men, were recruited from the general population via an online recruitment platform. We used the Temperament Evaluation of the Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire to evaluate affective temperaments and the Satisfaction with Life Scale to assess satis-faction with life. The Athens Insomnia Scale was used to assess participants’ level of insomnia symptoms.ResultsDepressive, cyclothymic, irritable and anxious temperaments correlated positively with insomnia symptoms, but hyperthymic temperament correlated negatively with insomnia symptoms. Satisfaction with life correlated negative-ly with insomnia symptoms. Hyperthymic temperament correlated positively with satisfaction with life, but depres-sive, cyclothymic, irritable and anxious temperaments correlated negatively with satisfaction with life. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that 30% of the variance in insomnia symptoms was attributable to satisfaction with life level and the presence of cyclothymic and anxious temperaments. The mediation analysis suggested a significant indirect effect of cyclothymic and anxious temperaments on insomnia through satisfaction with life as a mediator between affective temperaments and insomnia.ConclusionsCyclothymic and anxious temperaments can influence the symptoms of insomnia directly and indirectly as mediated by satisfaction with life.

Published: March 2023

The exponential growth in wireless communication technology has led to spectrum scarcity. Because of this, the world has moved from Fixed Spectrum Allocation (FSA) Strategy to Dynamic Spectrum Allocation (DSA) Strategy. Cognitive Radio (CR) is a rapidly growing technique that makes use of DSA, where the licensed users, otherwise known as Primary Users (PUs), share their channel with the unlicensed users, known as Secondary Users (SUs). The SUs can use the PUs channel when they are not being used for transmission, but they have to vacate to another vacant channel when the PUs arrive in their channel. Switching to another vacant channel on the arrival of the PUs to their channels is known as spectrum hand-off. Finding another suitable vacant channel for the SUs to continue their interrupted transmission is challenging. Several researchers have used different techniques to address the challenge of target channel selection for spectrum hand-off by considering channel occupancy alone. Still, they suffer challenges like the high number of spectrum hand-offs, high delay, and low throughput. Therefore, this research focuses on developing an Improved Channel Selection Algorithm (ICSA) that considers channel occupancy serially with signal quality requirements for selecting a particular backup channel for spectrum hand-off. The simulation was carried out using Network Simulator (NS), and the results were plotted using Matlab. The results showed that the ICSA had better performance when compared with the Novel Proactive Hand-off Scheme (NPHS) regarding the number of hand-offs, average delay, and average throughput.

Mainstreaming instructional materials in Early Childhood Education (ECE) is of paramount importance in the teaching and learning process. The purpose of this research was aimed at discovering how availability of instructional materials influences participation rates, an aspect of internal efficiency. The study was guided by correlation design and adopted stratified and simple random sampling techniques. A total of 39 public primary schools were sampled; in addition to 39 and 156 primary school headteachers and teachers respectively and 39 ECE teachers. Data for the study was collected through the use of questionnaires and documentary analysis guide. SPSS and Pearson correlation was used to analyse data and results were presented in percentages, frequencies, means, and standard deviations. Data analysed revealed that there was a positive correlation between ECE instructional materials and internal efficiency in public primary schools (r = .703, n = 37, p< .01). The study concluded that there is a positive correlation between ECE instructional materials and children’s participation rates. Therefore, there is need for headteachers in collaboration with the county government and parents to avail adequate instructional materials to enhance children’s participation rates.
Writing Mobility, Writing Stillness: Silvia Mistral’s Transatlantic Displacements
Authors: Linhard Tabea Alexa 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
The article shows that mobility and stillness are entangled with one another and that specific mobile subjects are, following Michael Rothberg’s work, implicated in the stillness of others. The analysis focuses on figures negotiating tensions between mobility and stillness: deported workers traveling from Cuba to Spain in 1931, soldiers and civilians meeting in a hotel during the Spanish Civil War in 1938, and Spanish refugees interacting with locals in Martinique during an unexpected layover in 1939. Mistral’s works cross borders between countries and national literatures and this article considers her writing in relation to Katherine Anne Porter’s novel Ship of Fools, to competing and transnational narratives about race and class during the Spanish Civil War, and to the works of Martinican writers.
Dogs and the Politics of Il|legal Border-Crossing: Suad Amiry’s Sharon and My Mother-in-Law and Marios Piperides’s Smuggling Hendrix
Authors: Evangelou Angelos 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
This article merges border and animal studies through a comparative study of Suad Amiry’s memoir Sharon and My Mother-in-Law: Ramallah Diaries (2005, Palestine) and Marios Piperides’s film Smuggling Hendrix (2018, Cyprus). Engaging with the concepts of border aesthetics, border logic, and border law, the article draws attention to the function of animal characters (dogs) and illustrates their becoming platforms of anti-border politics. Both narratives explore the difference between human and animal experiences of borders and border-crossing, and through the fictionalized adventures of Nura and Jimi render borders simultaneously penetrable and comical. Their ability to legally or illegally cross the same borders their human owners are confronted with equips authors with ample opportunity for sharp political critique, largely invested in exposing the absurdity borders generate. Assigning these dogs with different legal statuses (Nura has a passport and crosses the border legally while Jimi crosses underground), Amiry and Piperides scrutinize the association between illegal border-crossing and resistance, demonstrating how it is only the contestation of border law which alone undermines border logic. The article thus exposes the complex tension between the political gain produced by the politicization of these animals vis-à-vis their becoming border-crossers, and the implications of this gesture for animals.
A constructivist grounded theory of counselling psychologists’ in-the-moment decision-making process about touching their clients
Authors: Damon Helen , Ayling Russel , Lodge Rosemary 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundClinician-client touch is controversial, and seemingly widespread. However, talking therapists report little-to-no training on it and major accrediting bodies offer no explicit guidance. Consequently, some clinicians feel a lack confidence and competence around touch and fear accusations of bad practice. There is no research on counselling psychologists’ (CoPs’) ‘in-the-moment’ (in-session) decision-making process about touching their clients. Hence, this study aimed to develop a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) of this process to facilitate best practice by identifying issues and evaluating and recommending changes to existing models, guidelines, and training.MethodologyFollowing a CGT methodology, cycles of semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine CoPs, one clinical psychologist and two body psychotherapists about their process. The interview transcripts were analysed following Charmaz’s (2014) three-stage CGT coding process.FindingsA dual process model of touch-decision-making was produced, with the core category ‘weighing the predicted balance of appropriateness’: participants use an embodied sense of ‘felt appropriateness’ and a cognitive process of ‘considering the appropriateness’ to assess whether a ‘touch-related action’ is likely to be experienced as minimising harm and maximising therapeutic benefit to the client.ConclusionThe findings indicate a need for a CoP ‘professional stance’ towards touch-decision-making and talking about and upholding touch-boundaries in clinical practice.
Solution Circles: What do we know about the use of Solution Circles in Educational Psychology (EP) practice and do they work in the context of online collaborative problem solving?
Authors: Darwin Claire , Booker Roger 
Published: March 2023

Aims:This paper sets out to find out more about the use of Solution Circles (SCs) in EP practice and to consider the benefits and impact associated with this process.Method:The literature search provides information about SCs being used by EPs. The role of graphic facilitation is also considered. Practice-based evidence is shared alongside the summary of a literature review which focuses on the use of SCs within education settings.Findings:SCs are used in a variety of ways such as in collaborative problem solving and supervision. Reported benefits and limitations are similar. For example, staff particularly value the structured process, having dedicated time to think and reflect whilst being supported by skilled process and graphic facilitators.Limitations:There are several versions of the process as well as different delivery models being used for a variety of purposes. However, as the review question was exploratory in nature, the different versions may be considered and provide useful information to reflect upon when considering the use of SCs in EP practice.Conclusions:We conclude that SCs are effective in the context of online collaborative problem solving. Information shared in this paper supports next steps for the use SCs as a multiagency online consultation/problem solving in the principal author’s Local Authority.

Authors: Rodríguez Mónica 
Published: March 2023

La restauración de los molares con diagnóstico de Hipomineralización Incisivo-Molar (HIM) representan un reto para el profesional de la Odontología, ya que la mayoría de los pacientes presenta pérdida frecuente de las restauraciones a consecuencia de la deficiente calidad del sustrato dentario, dificultades en el bloqueo anestésico derivadas de la hipersensibilidad dental y la afectación pulpar que dificultan la higiene originando lesiones de caries. El propósito de esta revisión de la literatura es describir las alternativas de tratamiento que permitan obtener restauraciones más longevas de los molares hipomineralizados en niños. La consulta electrónica se realizó mediante la base de datos Pubmed, Google Académico y Cochrane Library, utilizando las palabras: “Molar Incisor Hypomineralization, treatment, MIH” entre los años 2010-2019. Se concluye que para la selección del material de restauración y el diseño de la preparación deberá tomarse en cuenta la edad dental y la conducta del paciente, la severidad del defecto y la expectativa de los padres. Debe seguir difundiéndose información relacionada con el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la HIM mientras persistan las discrepancias entre los clínicos que tratan este defecto del desarrollo del esmalte.

Published: March 2023

CT (computerized tomography) scan memiliki sensitivitas dan spesifisitas paling baik dalam penegakan diagnosis ataupun prognosis pasien COVID-19. Namun, ketersediaan CT scan masih terbatas di Indonesia; foto x-ray toraks masih merupakan pilihan utama karena ketersediaannya yang lebih mudah serta hasil yang cepat. Beberapa sistem skoring menggunakan foto x-ray toraks mulai banyak diteliti dan dikembangkan, di antaranya Brixia score, simplified RALE score, dan lung zone severity score. Sistem skoring yang saat ini sedang berkembang dapat digunakan untuk menentukan prognosis pasien pneumonia COVID-19.
Computed tomography (CT) provides the best sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19. Nevertheless, the availability of CT scans is still limited; conventional chest X-ray is still the main choice in defining the severity and prognosis of COVID-19 disease. For this purpose, several chest X-rays scoring systems have been developed, including the Brixia score, simplified RALE score, and lung zone severity score. These chest X-ray scoring systems can be used to determine the prognosis of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
