The Rise of the ‘Immersive Virtual Online Avatar Society’: Does an Online Community Established in the Virtual Space Constitute a ‘Real’ Society?
Authors: Novak Rene 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This video article series investigates the emergence of a ‘digital haven’, that hosts a new type of society. These people are converging in digitally constructed realities for multiple reasons: some seek refuge from the harsh realities of the contemporary social order, others investigate new ways to socialise, or seek somewhere where the limitations of the real world don’t apply. Both science-fiction media and academics predicted that once virtual reality technologies (vr) reach the general consumer, society would change (Caddy, 2019; Gibson, 1984; Heim, 1993; Virtual Reality Society, 2017). In recent years the number of households with vr devices has increased (Bol, 2018; Petrock, 2021). This article suggests that vr technology has given birth to an ‘Immersive Virtual Online Avatar Society’. This society harbours many occasional visitors, but also some permanent virtual residents. Important questions arise; starting with: “Does an online community established in the virtual space constitute a ‘real’ society?” This will be investigated with sources from virtual worlds developed with the social multi-user vr software VRChat, drawn from academic research, from video recordings of interactions in VRChat and from philosophical inquiry into the author’s personal experiences and the experiences of other users.
Shimmering Practices in a Kaleidoscope World: Affective, Embodied and Sensorial Modes of Filmmaking
Authors: LeBlanc Natalie 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This article explores a series of non-linear films produced in an undergraduate digital arts course. Drawing on Deleuze’s (1989) concept of the time-image, the researcher theorizes how filmmaking produces events of duration (Deleuze, 1991) for which bodies, living and nonliving, are actively engaged in processes of becoming. She makes connections with what Deborah Bird Rose (2017) calls shimmer with practices of immediation (Manning, 2019) a brilliance that brings us into “the experience of being part of a vibrant and vibrating world” (Rose, 2017, p. 53). The researcher argues that filmmaking is a shimmering practice in a kaleidoscope world – capable of generating affective, embodied, and sensorial events – practices-in-the-making. Thus the article aligns with the goal of this special topic: to analyze affective and somatic modes of filmmaking and their potential to create virtual openings in the ubiquitous quality of sensation in the city (Thain, 2019).
The Effect of Lane Direction Pavement Markings on Driving Performance and Safety: A Driving Simulator Study
Authors: Marciano Hadas 
Published: May 2022

Objective A driving simulator study was conducted to test the effect of directions pavement markings (DPMs) on drivers’ performance. Background The perception of traditional direction signs may be less efficient than that of DPMs because drivers allocate more attentional resources to the road than to any other location. Method Two experimental conditions of DPMs were tested: (a) the name of the lane’s destination town, inscribed in white letters; (b) red and white shields enclosing the name of the lane’s destination town. In both conditions, the name or shield was preceded by a white arrow and traditional road signs were presented as well. The experimental conditions were compared to a baseline condition, which consisted of traditional road signs only. Various scenarios of three-lane highways were simulated and the number of vehicles on the road was manipulated, forming a 2 × 3 design (two load conditions × three experimental conditions). Twenty-two participants took part in the experiment. Results Pavement markings in both configurations were highly beneficial. Compared with the baseline condition, in both experimental conditions, the drivers noticed the correct lane sooner and moved to the correct lane earlier. Results also suggested that white markings are more beneficial than shield markings; however, this finding should be further confirmed. Conclusion Lane DPMS are desirable as they are likely to improve traffic safety at relatively low cost. Application Regulations demanding the presence of DPMs, at the very least in low visibility decision sites, would increase traffic safety.
Moral injury, depression, and anxiety symptoms among health and social care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic: The moderating role of belongingness
Authors: Benatov Joy , Zerach Gadi , Levi-Belz Yossi 
Published: May 2022

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic can affect health and social care workers’ (HSCWs’) mental health in their role as frontline workers in this crisis. The pandemic poses unique challenges to HSCWs as they face morally daunting decisions while working with limited knowledge and resources. This study primary objective was to examine the moderating role of thwarted belongingness in the relationships between HSCWs’ exposure to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) and moral injury symptoms, depression, and anxiety. Method: A sample of 296 Israeli HSCWs completed validated self-report questionnaires that include measures of depression, anxiety, PMIE exposure, moral injury symptoms, and a sense of thwarted belongingness. Results: About one-third (33.6%) of the sample met the criteria for major depression and 21.5% for generalized anxiety. Beyond demographic and work-related characteristics, PMIEs contributed to depression and anxiety levels. The indirect effect of PMIE exposure on anxiety/depression symptoms through MI symptoms was significant only at high levels of thwarted belongingness among HSCWs. Thus, greater PMIE exposure contributes to more MI symptoms, which, in turn, is linked to higher levels of anxiety/depression symptoms among HSCWs with high levels of thwarted belongingness. Limitations: Cross-sectional design, self-report questionnaires, sample limited to Israeli HSCWs. Conclusions: The study’s findings highlight the mental burden of HSCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic and the critical contribution of PMIE exposure and thwarted belongingness to this burden. Clinicians treating HSCWs coping with depression and anxiety following the COVID-19 should also attend to moral injury symptoms as well to the belongingness experience.
COVID-19 Information Sources and Misinformation by Faith Community
Authors: Lee Rogers Richard , Powe Nicolette 
Published: May 2022

Faith communities support a variety of public health initiatives as conduits of information and service distribution points. However, with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), there is concern that religious communities may be echo chambers for misinformation and conspiracy theories that are undercutting the adoption of precautions to prevent transmission and the use of COVID-19 vaccines. The purpose of this study is to identify the receptivity to and spread of misinformation about COVID-19 by faith communities and whether embracing these inaccuracies constitutes a uniquely religious effect. This study conducted three small analyses approach. First, we engaged in the automated text mining of approximately 2.3 million discussion posts from discussion forums noted for their conspiracism and extremism. Next, secondary quantitative analysis of two recent surveys from the American Trends Panels by Pew Research conducted in April 2020 (N = 9482) and February 2021 (N = 9429) were conducted to determine whether sources of information and preventive behaviors related to the pandemic were associated with uniquely religious effects or possibly mediated by other factors such as sociodemographic characteristics or political views. The association of White evangelicals with politicized misinformation was consistent across all three small studies. Prior to the availability of vaccines, religious themes consistently appeared in 15–19% of COVID-19 social media posts and were higher in subsets of the discourse tied to misinformation. The framing of COVID-19 using religious language was associated with the Christian right in about half of the religiously-themed posts. Religious themes fell below the 15% threshold once the vaccine was available. In the survey research, small, uniquely religious effects were found with White evangelical receptivity of COVID-19 information from Donald Trump and less reliance on information from public health experts, and small, uniquely religious associations were found with preventive measures. Among White nonevangelical Protestants and non-Hispanic Roman Catholics, there was found the same combination of a higher likelihood of reliance on messages from the Donald Trump Presidency and a lower likelihood for news-media use. Black Protestants showed a higher level of use and trust in state and local government officials. The study confirmed higher use of social media among non-Hispanic Roman Catholics but did not find this relationship among Hispanic Protestants. Faith communities are not always receptive to public health messages that promote the public good. This study indicates that the religion effects can appear early, giving time for health education specialists to address them, and that these effects can diminish once preventive measures are available.
Reframing Psychological Research Methods Courses as Tools for Social Justice Education
Authors: Etengoff Chana 
Published: May 2022

Introduction APA’s 2017 Multicultural Guidelines ask teachers to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across the psychology curriculum. Statement of the Problem However, there are few resources outlining best practices for DEI instruction outside of diversity/multicultural courses. Moreover, instructors for skill-based courses such as Psychological Research Methods may view DEI as beyond their scope. Literature Review Building on the agentive pedagogical theories of Freire, Kegan and Stetsenko, I aim to outline the importance of integrating DEI into research methods courses and identify seven accessible ways in which to do so. Teaching Implications Teachers will find a comprehensive review of the theory and research related to seven DEI teaching practices: (1) Diverse Representation/Visibility, (2) Modeling Inclusive Language/Practices, (3) Addressing Social Issues and Inequities, (4) Broadening the Applied Topical Scope, (5) Meaning-Making, (6) Teaching from a Strengths-Based Perspective, and (7) Promoting Students’ Agency. Conclusion Diversity, equity, and inclusion research methods courses can provide students with a clear model of inclusive practices, opportunities to develop sociorelational skills, and the tools to agentively contribute to social justice research.

Published: May 2022

Aim Although the number of global studies on ECMO, which is an important support system in the treatment of COVID-19 related respiratory failure, has increased in recent months, there is still no bibliometric study on the use of ECMO in COVID-19 in the literature. The aim of this study is to analyze the scientific articles on the use of ECMO in COVID-19 by statistical and bibliometric methods. Method Articles published between 2019–2022 about the use of ECMO in COVID-19 were obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database and analyzed using statistical and bibliometric methods. Spearman correlation coefficient was used for correlation studies. Network visualization maps were used to identify effe analysis and trending topics. Results A total of 1197 publications were found. 758 (63.3%) of these publications were articles. The top 3 contributing countries to the literature were USA (257, 33.9%), Germany (102, 13.4%) and Japan (87, 11.5%). The top 3 most active institutions were League of European Research Universities (90), Harvard University (50), and Udice French Research Universities (39). The top 3 journals with the highest count of publications were ASAIO Journal ( n = 36), Frontiers in Medicine (22), and Perfusion-UK ( n = 20). According to the average count of citations per article, the most influential journals were JAMA (1319), Intensive Care Medicine (327), and Lancet (95.7), respectively. We have shared a summary of 758 articles in this comprehensive bibliometric study on the use of ECMO in COVID-19. Conclusion It can be said that the use of ECMO in COVID-19 has been the trending topic recently and most of the studies are from countries in the ELSO Awards of Excellence list which indicates that the follow-up of ECMO in certain centers and teams can also be influencing the publications. This article can be a useful resource for clinicians, scientists, and students concerning global output for ECMO use in COVID-19.

Background Migraine with cranial autonomic symptoms is well described in the literature, but its prevalence in previous studies varies enormously. A precise estimate of the prevalence in a population-based material is important because migraine with cranial autonomic symptoms might represent an endophenotype, in which genetic and pathophysiological features differ from those without cranial autonomic features. The aim of the present study, therefore, was to estimate the prevalence in a big population-based sample using both questionnaire-based diagnosis (N = 12,620) and interview-based diagnosis (N = 302). We validate questionnaire-based diagnosis of migraine with cranial autonomic symptoms and develop the first diagnostic criteria for future research of this possible endophenotype. Methods The Danish Blood Donor Study included 127,802 persons who all received a migraine diagnostic questionnaire. Participants who had answered the diagnostic questionnaire constituted the Danish Migraine Population Cohort (N = 62,677) of whom 12,620 had migraine. The diagnostic migraine questionnaire included questions about the following cranial autonomic symptoms: Facial/forehead sweating, lacrimation, ptosis, conjunctival injection, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and miosis. Validation was performed by a follow-up semi-structured, purpose-built interview of 302 participants with migraine, where detailed questions were asked to ascertain the validity of the symptoms. Results The questionnaire-based prevalences of one, respectively two cranial autonomic symptoms were 57% and 31%. The semi-structured interview-based prevalences of one, respectively two symptoms were 44% and 22%. The most common symptoms were facial/forehead sweating (39%) and lacrimation (24%). The specificity of the questionnaire was 80% and the sensitivity was 68%. Correlation analysis showed a weak correlation between symptoms ranging from 0.07 – 0.41, and no clear clustering of symptoms was detected. We suggest the first diagnostic appendix criteria for genetic and epidemiological studies and tighter criteria for clinical and pathophysiological studies. We encourage further studies of severity and consistency of symptoms. Conclusion Migraine with cranial autonomic symptoms is prevalent in the general population. Suggested diagnostic appendix criteria are important for future studies of this possible migraine endophenotype.
Continuous Video Electroencephalography (EEG) for Event Characterization in Critically Ill Children
Authors: DiBacco Melissa L. , Cavan Kelly , Sansevere Arnold J. 
Published: May 2022

Objective To determine features of paroxysmal events and background electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities associated with electroclinical seizures in critically ill children who undergo continuous video EEG to characterize clinical events. Methods This is a prospective study of critically ill children from July 2016 to October 2018. Non-neonates with continuous video EEG indication to characterize a clinical event were included. Patients with continuous video EEG to assess for subclinical seizures due to unexplained encephalopathy and those whose event of concern were not captured on continuous video EEG were excluded. The event to be characterized was taken from documented descriptions of health care providers and classified as motor, ocular, orobuccal, autonomic, and other. In patients with more than 1 component to their paroxysmal event, the events were classified as motor plus and nonmotor plus. Results One hundred patients met inclusion and exclusion criteria, with electroclinical seizures captured in 30% (30/100). The most common event to be characterized was an autonomic event in 32% (32/100). Asymmetry and epileptiform discharges were associated with electroclinical seizures (odds ratio [OR] 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-6.5, P = .03; and OR 12.5, 95% CI 4.4-35.6, P < .0001). Autonomic events alone, particularly unexplained vital sign changes, were not associated with electroclinical seizures (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.11-0.93, P = .03). Conclusions Isolated autonomic events are unlikely to be electroclinical seizures. Details of the paroxysmal events in question can help decide which patient will benefit most from continuous video EEG based on institutional resources.
Experiencing Time—A Commentary on Recent Perspectives on the Perception of Time
Authors: Smith Thomas J. 
Published: May 2022

The research reported in this article demonstrates that the passage of time is not directly perceived. The implication is that time is the only environmental stimulus that cannot be directly experienced as perceived sensory feedback The research reported in this article demonstrates that the passage of time is not directly perceived. This conclusion is supported by the following observations: 1) down through the millennia, there have been recurrent ergonomic efforts to design technological proxies—from the pyramids to the atomic clock—for detecting the passage of time; and 2) these efforts point to our reliance on technology, rather than our own sensory feedback control capabilities, to track time. The implication of the research is that time represents the only environmental stimulus that cannot be directly experienced as perceived sensory feedback.

Background Antineoplastic drug exposure is a major problem in regard to caregivers’ health. The aim of the present study was to assess the perception, knowledge, and handling practices of all occupation level categories of two oncology day hospitalization units and two compounding units regarding the risk of exposure to antineoplastic drugs. Methods This descriptive study, performed through face-to-face interviews, concurrently assessed the perception, knowledge, and handling practices of antineoplastic drugs in five different job categories in four different settings. This work was part of a larger comprehensive project examining surface and blood contamination. Different scores were assigned to evaluate responses to a questionnaire about the perception, knowledge, and handling practices of healthcare workers, a risk global score including a risk perception score, and education/knowledge and handling practices scores. Results In the survey, continuous training was associated with the global risk score ( p = 0.03), particularly with the handling practices risk score ( p = 0.01). Job category was also significantly associated with the global risk score ( p < 0.001), particularly with the handling practices risk score ( p < 0.001) and the education/knowledge score ( p < 0.001). Pharmacy technicians had the highest score regarding risk perception (71.4%), indicating a higher perception of risk, and had a lower score regarding handling practices (25.0%) as well as a lower score (15.7%) regarding risk knowledge. Nurses and physicians had a high score (50%) regarding the risk of handling practices and a score of 57.1% regarding risk perception, indicating an increased perception of safety. Auxiliary caregivers had the highest global score (43.5%) and a score of 30.0% regarding handling practices. Conclusions This study identified significant differences among healthcare workers depending on job categories in the antineoplastic drug handling practices and in the knowledge of the risks associated with occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs. These differences were particularly important between trained and untrained participants, revealing the importance of implementing a continuous training program.

Objectives The relationship between blood group antigens and disease has been studied in humans. Blood types have been associated with both decreased and increased rates of various infections. In addition, blood group expression has been shown to vary with some cancers and gastrointestinal diseases. The objective of this study was to explore whether there is a relationship between blood type and retroviral infections in cats. Methods Case records from a veterinary research laboratory, veterinary teaching hospitals and veterinary blood banks were retrospectively searched for cats where both blood type and retroviral status (feline leukemia [FeLV], feline immunodeficiency virus [FIV] or both) were listed (part 1). In addition, a sample of 33 cats with confirmed FIV infection was genotyped to determine blood groups (part 2). Results In part 1, 709 cats were identified, 119 of which were positive for retroviral infection. Among all cases, 621 were type A (87.6%), 68 were type B (9.6%) and 20 were type AB (2.8%). There was no relationship between overall retroviral status (positive/negative) and blood type ( P = 0.43), between FeLV status and blood type ( P = 0.86) or between FIV status and blood type ( P = 0.94). There was no difference in the distribution of blood types between cats that were healthy and typed as possible blood donors vs sick cats that were typed prior to a possible transfusion ( P = 0.13). In part 2, of the 33 FIV-infected cats, all blood group genotypes were identified, although this test did not discriminate type A from type AB. Conclusions and relevance No relationship was identified between feline retroviral status and blood type in this study. The relationship between blood type and other disease states requires further study in veterinary patients.
