Narratives of the self in bilingual speakers: the neurophenomenal space
Authors: Green David W. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
We tell one another stories of our lives. Sharing subjective experience is part of what it means to be an embodied, languaging being. In order to explore this aspect of our nature we need to relate our phenomenal experience to its neural bases as we talk. I describe a three-step procedure to do so as a person recounts a personal story. The first step characterizes their subjective experience. I describe two complementary ways to do so. The second step infers the attentional and attributional processes that compose that experience. I suppose that telling a personal story is a form of reliving it. The process of mental simulation involved recruits other attributional processes and is itself nested under one that sustains attention to the goal of telling the story. The third step identifies these processes with their possible neural bases expressed through the language network. I take the mapping from the phenomenal to the neural to be the neurophenomenal space and offer a visualization of it. I illustrate the procedure using the hypothetical example of a bilingual speaker who tells of a recent experience walking in a new city.
What Predicts the Growth of Small Firms? Evidence from Tanzanian Commercial Loan Data

Published: September 2023

AbstractNot all firms have equal capacity to absorb productive credit. Identifying those with higher potential may have large consequences for productivity. We collect detailed survey data on small- and medium-sized Tanzanian firms who borrow from a large commercial bank, which in turn raises funds via international capital markets. Using machine learning methods to identify predictors of loan growth, we document, first, that we achieve high rates of predictive power. Second, “soft” information (entrepreneurs’ motivations for entrepreneurship and constraints faced) has predictive power over and above administrative data (sector, age, etc.). Third, there is a different and larger set of predictors for women than men, consistent with greater barriers to efficient capital allocation among female entrepreneurs.
Neurocomputational Substrates Underlying the Effect of Identifiability on Third-Party Punishment
Authors: Feng Chunliang , Tian Xia , Luo Yue-Jia 
Published: September 2023

The identifiable target effect refers to the preference for helping identified victims and punishing identifiable perpetrators compared with equivalent but unidentifiable counterparts. The identifiable target effect is often attributed to the heightened moral emotions evoked by identified targets. However, the specific neurocognitive processes that mediate and/or modulate this effect remain largely unknown. Here, we combined a third-party punishment game with brain imaging and computational modeling to unravel the neurocomputational underpinnings of the identifiable transgressor effect. Human participants (males and females) acted as bystanders and punished identified or anonymous wrongdoers. Participants were more punitive toward identified wrongdoers than anonymous wrongdoers because they took a vicarious perspective of victims and adopted lower reference points of inequity (i.e., more stringent norms) in the identified context than in the unidentified context. Accordingly, there were larger activity of the ventral anterior insula, more distinct multivariate neural patterns in the dorsal anterior insula and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, and lower strength between ventral anterior insula and dorsolateral PFC and between dorsal anterior insula and ventral striatum connectivity in response to identified transgressors than anonymous transgressors. These findings implicate the interplay of expectancy violations, emotions, and self-interest in the identifiability effect. Last, individual differences in the identifiability effect were associated with empathic concern/social dominance orientation, activity in the precuneus/cuneus and temporo-parietal junction, and intrinsic functional connectivity of the dorsolateral PFC. Together, our work is the first to uncover the neurocomputational processes mediating identifiable transgressor effect and to characterize psychophysiological profiles modulating the effect.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe identifiable target effect, more help to identified victims or stronger punishment to identifiable perpetrators, is common in daily life. We examined the neurocomputational mechanisms mediating/modulating the identifiability effect on third-party punishment by bridging literature from economics and cognitive neuroscience. Our findings reveal that identifiable transgressor effect is mediated by lower reference points of inequity (i.e., more stringent norms), which might be associated with a stronger involvement of the emotion processes and a weaker engagement of the analytic/deliberate processes. Furthermore, personality traits, altered brain activity, and intrinsic functional connectivity contribute to the individual variance in the identifiability effect. Overall, our study advances the understanding of the identifiability effect by shedding light on its component processes and modulating factors.

Published: September 2023

La uchuva es una de las frutas promisorias para la zona andina de Colombia gracias a su alta demanda internacional. En Antioquia, su siembra se concentra en el oriente, aunque otras subregiones como el norte y suroeste presentan condiciones óptimas para su cultivo. Ya que las enfermedades de origen viral son uno de los problemas emergentes de este frutal, en este estudio se evaluó la infección de virus de RNA que infectan los cultivos de uchuva en el suroeste de Antioquia. Para esto se utilizaron pruebas de RT-qPCR en muestras foliares de plantas sintomáticas y asintomáticas obtenidas en ocho lotes, así como en ocho muestras de semillas extraídas de frutos comercializados en esta subregión. Los resultados indicaron la presencia en al menos una muestra foliar de los virus PVY, PVX, PVS, CGIV-1 y PMTV, mientras que PVV, PYVV y PhyVNV no fueron detectados. El PMTV (75 %) y el PVX (62.5 %) fueron los virus que presentaron mayores niveles de prevalencia en muestras sintomáticas y asintomáticas, respectivamente. Para el caso de las semillas, se encontró la infección de los virus PVX (87.5 %), PVS (75 %), PVY (37.5 %), PhyVNV (12.5 %) y CGIV-1 (12.5 %). Adicionalmente, mediante análisis de NGS se detectó la presencia de secuencias de los virus CMV, PhyVNV, PVS, y TaLMV. Estos hallazgos señalan la necesidad de establecer en el país programas de monitoreo de virus en cultivos de uchuva y de certificación de semilla.

Published: September 2023

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el efecto de la aplicación de compost de flores sobre algunas propiedades físicas, químicas y biológicas del suelo. Los compost usados fueron de residuos 100% de Dianthus spp., 100 % de girasol y la mezcla (50-50 %), se incorporaron al suelo (Tapthic hapludand) a dosis de 8, 12, 16 kg.m-2 y un testigo sin aplicación. Se realizó un diseño experimental factorial de medidas repetidas en el tiempo con dos factores; el primero correspondió al tipo de compost, el segundo a las dosis. Se evaluó la densidad aparente, la porosidad total, el carbono orgánico (CO), la respiración del suelo y las unidades formadoras de colonia de bacterias solubilizadoras de fosfatos y fijadoras de nitrógeno. En los resultados obtenidos se observó que la densidad aparente del suelo disminuyó con la aplicación del compost de girasol y dianthus a dosis de 16 kg.m-2 en un 17 % y 25 %, respectivamente en comparación con el valor inicial (1.14 g.cm-3). En la dosis de 16 kg.m-2 la porosidad total incrementó con respecto al valor inicial un 8.1 % con el compost de girasol y un 10.5 % con la incorporación del compost mixto. El CO incrementó con respecto al valor inicial 2.33 % en el tratamiento mixto a dosis de 16 kg.m-2. La respiración no mostró diferencias estadísticas con respecto al control; en las bacterias solubilizadoras de fosfato, la dosis de 16 kg.m-2 mostró el mayor valor con 3.5 X 106 UFC/g de suelo para el compost mixto; y para las fijadoras de nitrógeno, los mayores valores se registraron a dosis de 16 kg.m-2 para mixto con promedio de 3.025 x 107 UFC/g de suelo. Con los resultados obtenidos se puede inferir que la incorporación al suelo de compost mixto a dosis de 16 kg.m-2 tiene un efecto positivo en las propiedades físicas, químicas y biológicas del suelo en el corto plazo.

Published: September 2023

Moringa oleifera es una especie vegetal con múltiples aplicaciones y características importantes de uso medicinal y farmacológico, contiene compuestos que le confieren actividad antioxidante, anticancerígena y antiinflamatoria, entre otras propiedades. Las hojas son la estructura más utilizada y con mayor concentración de compuestos bioactivos que pueden ser parcialmente aislados en extractos para usos posteriores. Sin embargo, en Colombia los estudios relacionados con la especie son escasos, lo que generó la necesidad de evaluar los compuestos fenólicos y la capacidad antioxidante de las hojas de esta planta en tres estados fenológicos (J: joven, M: madura, A: adulta). Los extractos fueron evaluados en términos del contenido total de fenoles (CTF), flavonoides (CTFl), catequinas (CTC) y la capacidad antioxidante (DPPH, FRAP y ABTS). Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio evidenciaron que entre la hoja joven y madura no hubo diferencia estadística en ninguno de los parámetros evaluados, mostrando concentraciones promedio de flavonoides totales de 7.48 mg ER/g MS y una capacidad antioxidante promedio de 39.51 µmol Fe2+/g MS (FRAP) y de 12.03 µmol ET/g MS (ABTS). Por otro lado, la hoja adulta presentó una disminución significativa en el contenido de flavonoides totales (4.83±0.33 mg ER/g MS) y la capacidad antioxidante en los métodos FRAP (34.99±0.5 µmol Fe2+/g MS) y ABTS (11.50±0.2 µmol ET/g MS), por lo que se concluyó que, de los tres estados fenológico, el único que no tendría potencial como antioxidante es el estado adulto.

El estudio de las características involucradas en el crecimiento y los efectos ambientales que son responsables de su variación en ganado Blanco Orejinegro (BON) son de gran importancia para estimular la cría y evitar su extinción. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron describir las características de crecimiento en ganado BON y determinar la influencia de algunos factores ambientales sobre estas variables. Se comprobó información de 3218, 2264, 496, 2287, 325 y 408 registros para peso al nacimiento (PN); peso al destete (PD); peso al año (PA); ganancia diaria de peso al destete (GDP); tiempo para alcanzar 120 kg (T120); y tiempo para alcanzar 60 % de peso adulto (T60 %), respectivamente. Se realizaron ANAVAs para determinar la influencia de los factores número de parto (NP), sexo, época, edad al pesaje y grupo contemporáneo (GC). Las medias fueron 31.8 kg, 201.9 kg, 230.5 kg, 0.645 kg/día y 136.4 y 541.1 días, para PN, PD, PA, GDP, T120 y T60 %, respectivamente. Los efectos de NP (excepto para T60 %), GC, sexo y edad al pesaje fueron significativos, pero no la época del año en que se hizo el pesaje. En media, se encontró que animales hijos de vacas con NP 1 o 7 fueron significativamente más livianos; el GC mostró ser una fuente de variación importante debido a la interacción entre sexo-año-hato o hato-año. Estos resultados muestran que algunos factores ambientales afectan el crecimiento en la población BON y que esta es una raza con buen potencial productivo.
How Can I Study from Below, that which Is Above?
Authors: Sotola Lukas 
Published: September 2023

Z-curve is an analytic technique with which one can estimate the percent of a set of studies of interest that would replicate if one were to run actual replication studies. I compared the estimates z-curve yields to the outcome of real large-scale replication studies, such as the Open Science Collaboration (2015) work or the various ManyLabs projects (e.g., Klein et al., 2014). I collected p-values from the original studies examined in six different large-scale replication efforts to the extent possible, ran z-curves on all the original studies, and compared the z-curve results to the results of the actual replication studies. My results show that across 163 replication studies taken from the six replication efforts, 85 (52.15%) showed statistically significant resultsin the expected direction as indicated by the authors of the replication studies. The outcome of the z-curve of all these studies was accurate, with the midpoint between the expected replication rate and the expected discovery rate, 50.55%, being almost exactly the same as the true replication rate. Its replicability estimate was also more accurate than that of p-curve analysis. Comparison of z-curve analysis of studies that did successfully replicate to studies that did not does suggest heterogeneity in the accuracy of its estimates, however. The pros and cons of z-curve analysis are discussed.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Emotional labor is known as one of the important components of work environments in which employees must use various strategies to manage and control emotions in interaction with clients. One of the important components affecting emotional labor is the general health of employees. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between general health and emotional labor among nurses in public and private hospitals of the country.
Methods: The study data were collected through a cross-sectional survey method. The research population was 480 nurses from private and public hospitals of the whole country, who were selected by non-random sampling method. The analysis of research findings was done using SPSS 22 software using bivariate and multivariate statistical tests.
Results: The results showed that the independent research variables, including insomnia, being under pressure, feeling of discomfort and depression, happiness and optimism, had a significant effect on the dependent variable. The variable of feeling of discomfort and depression with beta 0/178 and significance level of 0/002 had the greatest effect on the emotional labor variable. The results of the regression analysis showed that the independent variables explained 17% of the variance of the dependent variable.
Conclusion: Improving and promoting the general health of nurses increases their skills in emotional labor, which helps them in forming successful human relationships and creating effective therapeutic relationships with patients. In this regard, it is suggested to take the necessary measures to maintain and improve the general health of nurses, such as regular examinations and consultations and holding numerous meetings to increase morale and work motivation and strengthen intellectual and value beliefs, using fun sports, cultural, and religious programs along with granting special financial and non-financial privileges.
Genesis and World Chronology
Authors: Walton John 
Published: September 2023

Distrust of Genesis as history has been fostered by uniformitarian geoscience and Deep Time chronology. The reality or otherwise of a global flood has a crucial bearing on world history and chronology. Evidence of disparate kinds favouring such a flood from scripture, from geoscience and from anthropology is presented. Radiocarbon dating, suitably calibrated for the flood discontinuity, substantiates a Compact Time chronology of thousands of years for earth history. This is reinforced by comparison of flood model radiocarbon dates for ancient near eastern sites with those independently obtained by archaeologists. Further corroboration of the Genesis chronology comes from discoveries of preserved soft tissues, proteins and even DNA in fossil dinosaur bones and in other specimens from throughout the geologic column. Belief in a recent, rapid creation is credibly defensible by science divested of secular naturalist ideological constructs. Compact Time chronology rehabilitates belief in the historical reality of the Genesis accounts of the origin of life and the origin of death.

Abstract

Background: With the World Health Organization’s declaration of the 2022 multi-country monkeypox outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), we report the first confirmed case of monkeypox infection in a Filipino with clinical presentation different from the classic monkeypox cases previously reported in endemic countries of Central and West Africa before the 2022 outbreak. We describe monkeypox infection's gross and dermatopathological appearances on Southeast Asian brown skin. We also discuss the detailed process of monkeypox quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) testing for diagnostic confirmation and the pioneering application of shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterize the infecting virus.

Case Presentation: This was a case of a 31-year-old male Filipino with a travel history to several European countries. He developed five non-tender, well-defined, umbilicated pustules with erythematous borders on the upper lip, the left gluteal area, bilateral knees, and the left ankle. Skin punch biopsy findings were suggestive of a viral infection. Monkeypox infection from Clade II (previously known as the West African clade) was confirmed by detecting and amplifying the G2R_G, G2R_WA, and C3L gene targets using qPCR. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing subsequently identified a monkeypox genome sequence belonging to B.1.3 lineage of Clade IIb, associated with the current multi-country outbreak. The serologic varicella IgM test was positive but varicella PCR of the skin lesion and metagenomic sequencing did not indicate the presence of the varicella virus. The patient was discharged and continued isolation at home until all scabs had completely fallen off.

Conclusions: The presence of pustules among patients with risk factors such as possible close physical contact with infected individuals in areas with reported cases of monkeypox should raise suspicion for such an infection. Dermatopathological findings of the patient’s skin lesions were consistent with a viral infection but were non-specific for monkeypox infection. The establishment and optimization of the qPCR protocol were necessary to confirm monkeypox infection from Clade II. Metagenomic sequencing successfully characterized the etiologic agent of the first laboratory-confirmed monkeypox case in the Philippines belonging to Clade IIb which is mainly responsible for the 2022 monkeypox global outbreak.
Associations between serum levels of liver function biomarkers and all-cause and cause-specific mortality: A prospective cohort study
Authors: Ling Shunhu , Diao Haiping , Lu Guangbing , Shi Luhua 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background
The liver plays critical roles in human health. Circulating level of liver function biomarkers may associate with the long-term and short-term mortality in general population.
Methods
We used data from US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1988-94 and 1999-2014. People aged ≥ 20 years with measured serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TB), and albumin (ALB) at baseline were included. All-cause and cause-specific mortality was identified from the National Death Index through 31 December 2015. Additive Cox regression models were applied to assess the correlation patterns between the serum level of these analytes and mortality risk.
Results
A total of 44,508 participants were included; among them,9,721 deaths occurred during a mean follow-up of 12.5 years. A “J-shaped” correlation was found between serum levels of ALT, AST, and TB and all-cause mortality. The risk of mortality monotonically increased with increasing GGT and ALP levels when their levels exceeded the valley points. A “L-shaped” correlation was found between the serum level of ALB and all-cause mortality. The correlation patterns were comparable among deaths from different causes and were consistent in subgroup and sensitivity analyses. The predictive performance for mortality was superior when all six liver function biomarkers were integrated together (area under ROC curve = 0.706).
Conclusion
Circulating liver function biomarkers may be informative of survival in general populations and could serve as screening tools to identify individuals at high risk of death.

Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background:This study aimed to develop and validate the content of the reproductive health module(ReReki)for Malaysian adolescent boys, aged between 13 to 17 years old.Methods:TheReRekimodule was curated using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model’s approach and based on Theory of Planned Behaviour. ADDIE model emphasized in developing young readers’ literacy in sexual and reproductive health. Content and face validity were conducted by inviting six panel experts who are specialized in adolescent and public health. The language of the module was verified and refined by the linguistic expert. Subsequently, the content was matched with game activities and was pre-tested on 20 adolescent boys in one selected school.Results:Five modules and 29 sub-topics were identified. The overall content validity score was 81.5%, indicates a high level of content validity for theReRekimodule. However, two sub-topics scored below 70%, that needs further review. One new topic (sex offenses involving children) and two new sub-topics (Sexual Response Cycle and the roles of Id, Ego, Superego in play safe) were added to the module. Adolescent boys stated their acceptance of the content and proposed game activities.Conclusions:All the five main topics with 29 sub-topics in theReRekimodule were acceptable and ready to be used for adolescent boys in Malaysian context.
