Unmet expectations and job involvement among doctors: does individual conscientiousness play a mitigating role?
Authors: Koomson Samuel , Mensah Abigail Opoku , Koomson Eric 
Published: December 2022

Background/Aims Doctors are responsible for leading the care of patients. This study analysed the moderating role of individual conscientiousness on the relationship between psychological contract breach and levels of job involvement among medical doctors working in Ghana. A psychological contract breach occurs when an organisation does not deliver on their expected obligations to an employee, whether these expectations are written or unwritten. Methods All 251 doctors working in the upper east and upper west regions of Ghana were invited to participate, of which 214 doctors responded. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires, with 15 statements relating to psychological contract breach, 10 statements relating to job involvement and four statements relating to individual conscientiousness. Respondents rated their agreement to the statements on a 7-point Likert scale (1=least agreement; 7=strongest agreement). Participant demographics were also collected. Relationships between the data for each section were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 24) and the Smart PLS 2.0M.3. Results Psychological contract breach was found to have a significant negative relationship with job involvement (P<0.05). Conscientiousness had a moderating effect on this relationship, meaning that doctors who were more conscientious were less likely to reduce their job involvement when a psychological contract breach occurred. Conclusions When a psychological contract breach occurs, doctors who have a conscientious personality trait are likely to continue showing high levels of job involvement. This implies that doctors who are naturally hardworking, organised, disciplined and highly motivated are more likely to persevere with psychological and emotional commitment to their role, but this may make them more vulnerable to mistreatment (whether intentional or not) by their employer.

Published: December 2022

Background/Aims The high maternal mortality in Pakistan stems from pregnancy- or abortion-related complications. Pakistan's patriarchal society, where men are key decision-makers, makes it necessary to involve men in maternal and child reproductive health care initiatives. This study aimed to understand men's perceptions of post-abortion care in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods A descriptive qualitative exploratory research design was used. Data were collected from 10 participants through in-depth interviews, and were analysed thematically. Results The themes were ‘men's understanding of post-abortion care’, ‘barriers to post-abortion care’ and ‘men's role in enhancing postabortion care practices: a missing link’. The participants believed that abortion was allowed only on medical grounds, and that most women could not use post-abortion care services because of the associated cost. Conclusions Men are key decision-makers in Pakistan. There is a need to educate and provide men with adequate information on post-abortion care. Male health workers should be recruited in the community. Stakeholders should ensure the availability and accessibility of post-abortion care services in the public health setting so women can receive care in a timely manner.

Published: December 2022

Background
It is difficult to make a precise diagnosis to distinguish patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) from patients with Bipolar Depressive Disorder (current depressive episode, BD). This study will explore the difference in time perception between MDD and BD using a temporal bisection task.

Methods
In this temporal bisection task, 30 MDD patients, 30 BD patients, and 30 healthy controls (HC) had to categorize a signal duration, between 400 and 1600 milliseconds (ms), as either short or long. A repeated measurement analysis of variance with 3 (subject type) × 7 (time interval) was performed on the long response ratio with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Origin software was used to calculate the subjective bisection point (BP), difference limen (DL), and Weber ratio (WR). The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale for depression-17 was used to assess depressive symptoms in the patients.

Results
The data showed that the interaction effect between subject type and duration was significant (F (6,498) = 4.656, p <0.001, η2p = 0.101). At 400 ms, and the long response of the MDD group was greater than HC group (p<0.017, Bonferroni-corrected). At 1200, 1400 and 1600 ms, the long response of BD group is smaller than HC group, (p<0.017, Bonferroni-corrected). The one-way ANOVA revealed significant difference among the HC, MDD and BD groups in the BP values WR values, F(2, 81) = 3.462, p = 0.036 vs. F(2, 81) = 3.311, p = 0.042. Post-hoc tests showed that the value of BP in the MDD group was less than BD group (p = 0.027) and the value of BP in the MDD group was less than HC group (p = 0.027), while there was not significant difference of BP values between BD group and HC group. The WR values in MDD group larger than the HC group (p = 0.022).

Limitations
Severity of depression not divided and analyzed according to the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score.

Conclusion
The time perception of the MDD and BD groups was different from that of the HC group, they overestimated short time periods. Compared with the BD group, the MDD group had a smaller time bisector, and these patients felt that time passed more slowly. The time sensitivity of MDD group and BD group were less than the HC group. However, there was no statistical difference in time sensitivity between the MDD and BD groups.
Literary Traditions of Italy (Tasso, Casanova) in the Poetic Self-identification of Goethe and Tsvetaeva. (To the 130th anniversary of M.I. Tsvetaeva)
Authors: Cherepennikova Margarita 
Published: December 2022

The article discusses the role of Italian literary traditions in the works of J.-W. Goethe and M. I. Tsvetaeva, examines their influence on the process of poetic self-identification of these authors. It has been revealed that the culture, literature, art of Italy and the idealized image of this country worked as the aesthetic dominant in the evolvement of the poetic taste of Goethe and Tsvetaeva. Based on the comparative method of research, it has been established that the employment of Italian literary traditions, motifs, protagonists and conflicts that took place in Italian history in poetic and dramatic works was an important part of the phenomenon of poetic self-identification for Goethe and Tsvetaeva. These parallels, connected with common literary priorities, with increased attention to the heritage of antiquity, with an active search for an individual poetic language and new forms of theatrical art, speak of the special involvement of Goethe and Tsvetaeva in the all-European literary paradigm, largely based on classical traditions conceived and developed in Italy.
IS SLOW ECONOMIC GROWTH ORIGINATING FROM THE TOTAL EXTERNAL DEBT STOCK IN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO?
Authors: MUPENDA Olivier Munene 
Published: December 2022

Unsustainable debt reduces the productivity of a country. Ten years following its “1960 independence”, the Democratic Republic of Congo adopted policies that resorted to external finances while the world was at the peak of the 1970 Petro-dollar crisis. The following decade, in the 1980’s, with the fall in price of raw materials, the Democratic Republic of Congo was trapped in an unsustainable debt burden cycle that stagnated its economy and according to the World Bank data, reduced its GDP per Capita. The rise of active armed conflicts in the 1990’s and political unrest during the 2000's added pressures to resort to further financial support from external creditors, facilitating corruption and poverty in the process.
The inability to service debts leads to economic consequences. One of these consequences is reduction in productivity. With empirical evidence, our analysis will be looking at the Congolese productivity from independence in 1960 to the historical democratic transfers of power in late 2018 to understand the effects of external debts in its economic growth.
EXPECTATIONS AND RATIONAL DECISIONS ACCORDING TO JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES’S THOUGHT
Authors: MORSELLI Alessandro 
Published: December 2022

The aim of this paper is to question the existence of economic laws that can uniquely determine capitalist “equilibrium”. The presence of uncertainty is one of the conditions that cannot be eliminated, which can make the equilibrium unstable. We will try to find possible improvements in the techniques of modern capitalism through collective action, beyond the rationale of “laissez-faire”. All this in a Keynesian methodological view and in the presence of a social pact which, by committing the parties to the attainment of collective goals, minimizes the conflict.
If a separation between spending decisions and savings decisions is assumed, the role of an external subject that can affect the current and expected profitability is particularly important. Thus, this issue will be addressed, that is, the expectation of profit in a system of uncertainties, where well-governed capitalism can represent the closest frame to the most efficient system to achieve economic goals.
OPINIONS ON THE THEORIES OF SAVAGE AND DE FINETTI
Authors: BRADY Michael Emmett 
Published: December 2022

Feduzi, Runde and Zappia (2012, 2014, 2017) have claimed repeatedly that de Finetti and Savage formally allowed imprecise , indeterminate, non-additive probabilities to be used by decision makers in their normative theory of decision making .The only way that non additivity can be formally incorporated into a decision theory is by the use of a variable similar to Keynes’s w or Ellsberg’s ρ. Nowhere in anything written by de Finetti and/or Savage in their lifetimes does any such variable appear in their formal theoretical analysis or in any of their supporting axioms. Savage stated that he did not know how to integrate such a variable that would take account of vagueness, into the additive probability measure that represented his formal, normative theory. Feduzi, Runde and Zappia (2012, 2014, 2017) have misinterpreted the de Finetti and Savage concerns and sympathy for vacillating ,indecisive decision makers, who were confronted with vague and ambiguous evidence, with their recognition that defining one’s personal probabilities can be a difficult task ,with the erroneous and mistaken belief that de Finetti and Savage incorporated a role for imprecise and indeterminate probabilities within their formal, subjectivist, normative theory of probability and their SEU decision theory ,which rests completely on additive probability.
Dampak Ekspansi Kebun Kelapa Sawit Terhadap Kondisi Jasa Lingkungan Provinsi Riau
Authors: Rafli Mohammad , Buchori Imam 
Published: December 2022

Perkebunan kelapa sawit di Provinsi Riau memiliki luasan terbesar yakni mencapai >21% dari jumlah luasan kebun kelapa sawit di Indonesia. Kebun kelapa sawit yang luas tersebut melibatkan konversi lahan yang diikuti dengan penyusutan kerapatan vegetasi. Kondisi ini tidak mempertimbangkan keberlanjutan yang nantinya akan berpengaruh pada penurunan dan perubahan jasa lingkungan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk menilai bagaimana ekspansi kebun kelapa sawit di Provinsi Riau berpengaruh terhadap kondisi jasa lingkungan. Pendekatan terhadap jasa lingkungan menggunakan metode interpretasi citra Landsat 5 multi-temporal tahun 1990, tahun 2000, tahun 2010, dan citra Landsat 8 tahun 2018. Jasa lingkungan yang dianalisis adalah kesediaan cadangan karbon dan perubahan suhu permukaan tanah. Perubahan lahan menjadi kebun kelapa sawit dan cadangan karbon diukur dengan analisis tutupan lahan. Kerapatan vegetasi menggunakan teknik NDVI, dan nilai suhu permukaan menggunakan analisis band thermal. Hasil penelitian menggambarkan adanya kenaikan luas kebun kelapa sawit yang cukup besar yaitu 2,15 juta hektar (24,12%) dari luas wilayah Provinsi Riau. Jumlah karbon yang hilang pada lahan hutan mencapai 238,37 juta ton, pada lahan semak belukar mencapai 3,99 juta ton, dan karbon yang hilang pada ladang mencapai 24,97 juta ton. Kenaikan suhu permukaan sebesar 3oC - 4oC. Kondisi ini menjadi perhatian bagi pemerintah dalam membuat kebijakan khususnya pemberian izin pembukaan lahan kelapa sawit karena masalah ini dapat mengancam keberlanjutan lingkungan.
Lingering Neural Representations of Past Task Features Adversely Affect Future Behavior
Authors: Rangel Benjamin O. , Hazeltine Eliot , Wessel Jan R. 
Published: December 2022

During goal-directed behavior, humans purportedly form and retrieve so-called event files, conjunctive representations that link context-specific information about stimuli, their associated actions, and the expected action outcomes. The automatic formation, and later retrieval, of such conjunctive representations can substantially facilitate efficient action selection. However, recent behavioral work suggests that these event files may also adversely affect future behavior, especially when action requirements have changed between successive instances of the same task context (e.g., during task switching). Here, we directly tested this hypothesis with a recently developed method for measuring the strength of the neural representations of context-specific stimulus–action conjunctions (i.e., event files). Thirty-five male and female adult humans performed a task switching paradigm while undergoing EEG recordings. Replicating previous behavioral work, we found that changes in action requirements between two spaced repetitions of the same task incurred a significant reaction time cost. By combining multivariate pattern analysis and representational similarity analysis of the EEG recordings with linear mixed-effects modeling of trial-to-trial behavior, we then found that the magnitude of this behavioral cost was directly proportional to the strength of the conjunctive representation formed during the most recent previous exposure to the same task, that is, the most recent event file. This confirms that the formation of conjunctive representations of specific task contexts, stimuli, and actions in the brain can indeed adversely affect future behavior. Moreover, these findings demonstrate the potential of neural decoding of complex task set representations toward the prediction of behavior beyond the current trial.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTUnderstanding how the human brain organizes individual components of complex tasks is paramount for understanding higher-order cognition. During complex tasks, the brain forms conjunctive representations that link individual task features (contexts, stimuli, actions), which aids future performance of the same task. However, this can have adverse effects when the required sequence of actions within a task changes. We decoded conjunctive representations from electroencephalographic recordings during a task that included frequent changes to the rules determining the response. Indeed, stronger initial conjunctive representations predicted significant future response-time costs when task contexts repeated with changed response requirements. Showing that the formation of conjunctive task representations can have negative future effects generates novel insights into complex behavior and cognition, including task switching, planning, and problem solving.
Coronin 2B Regulates Neuronal Migration via Rac1-Dependent Multipolar–Bipolar Transition

Published: December 2022

In the developing cortex, excitatory neurons migrate along the radial fibers to their final destinations and build up synaptic connection with each other to form functional circuitry. The shaping of neuronal morphologies by actin cytoskeleton dynamics is crucial for neuronal migration. However, it is largely unknown how the distribution and assembly of the F-actin cytoskeleton are coordinated. In the present study, we found that an actin regulatory protein, coronin 2B, is indispensable for the transition from a multipolar to bipolar morphology during neuronal migration in ICR mice of either sex. Loss of coronin 2B led to heterotopic accumulation of migrating neurons in the intermediate zone along with reduced dendritic complexity and aberrant neuronal activity in the cortical plate. This was accompanied by increased seizure susceptibility, suggesting the malfunction of cortical development in coronin 2B-deficient brains. Coronin 2B knockdown disrupted the distribution of the F-actin cytoskeleton at the leading processes, while the migration defect in coronin 2B-deficient neurons was partially rescued by overexpression of Rac1 and its downstream actin-severing protein, cofilin. Our results collectively reveal the physiological function of coronin 2B during neuronal migration whereby it maintains the proper distribution of activated Rac1 and the F-actin cytoskeleton.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDeficits in neuronal migration during cortical development result in various neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., focal cortical dysplasia, periventricular heterotopia, epilepsy, etc.). Most signaling pathways that control neuronal migration process converge to regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Therefore, it is important to understand how actin dynamics is coordinated in the critical processes of neuronal migration. Herein, we report that coronin 2B is a key protein that regulates neuronal migration through its ability to control the distribution of the actin cytoskeleton and its regulatory signaling protein Rac1 during the multipolar–bipolar transition in the intermediate zone, providing insights into the molecular machinery that drives the migration process of newborn neurons.
Empowering consumers: Towards a broader interpretation of the vulnerable consumer concept in the European Union
Authors: Szilágyi Dániel 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe European Union, while acknowledging the pitfalls of problematic consumer markets, seems largely unwilling to deviate from an inflexible standard of consumer behaviour based on the ideal of the average consumer as a reasonably well-informed and observant market participant. The article aims to contrast this high consumer standard with the alternatives offered by the vulnerable consumer concept. The first part of the article deals with the notion of the average consumer as defined in European Union law and its interpretation by the European Court of Justice, particularly in cases concerning problematic markets. This is followed by a brief analysis of two potential interpretations of consumer vulnerability developed in the consumer protection literature. The final chapter examines in more detail the appearance of a singular major exception to the average consumer concept within the European Union consumer protection regime: the narrow scope of consumers acknowledged as ‘particularly vulnerable.’
(In)Habitings
Authors: Vinz Ruth 
Published: December 2022

Conceiving poetic inquiry as a space for exploring, perceiving, and imagining, I present poetic (art-making through lyric and figural languages) and simultaneously inquiry (a research-method) through a series of autoethnographic (in)habitings. Weaving poems, lyrical narratives, metaphoric, and speculative reveries, I cast a loose net of inquiry (a method theorized and practiced as orb-weaving) into multi-dimensional spaces to examine the affective intensities of longing. Through temporal, imagistic, and spatial slippages (the openings in the net of entanglements), spaces are left open to experience the sensations of being in the world.
A demonstration and discussion of an architectonics of structure and language-in-use theorizes metaphors to support poetic inquiry-in-the-making—web, hinge, and circumambulations—and poetry’s resources—a poiesis of unspoken and kinetic gesturings. Endnotes provide explanations of the conceptual metaphors employed and notes on research processes and influences. Freed from the bonds of explanation and findings, this poetic inquiry is crafted to engage readers in multi-dimensional spaces of sensory, shape-shifting, and (re)cognition of the open beauty of (re)searching—exploring the poetic, ephemeral, and shimmering data of live/fe worlds. The ultimate goal is to create (in)habitings that are multi-verses of feeling, longing, and love. Longing—a kind of ache in both method and subject—resides in the spaces of in-between-ness.
