description: Traditionally, emotion recognition research has primarily used pictures and videos, while audio test materials are not always readily available or are not of good quality, which may be particularly important for studies with hearing-impaired listeners. Here we present a vocal emotion recognition test with pseudospeech productions from multiple speakers expressing three core emotions (happy, angry, and sad): the EmoHI test. The high sound quality recordings make the test suitable for use with populations of children and adults with normal or impaired hearing. Here we present normative data for vocal emotion recognition development in normal-hearing (NH) school-age children using the EmoHI test. Furthermore, we investigated cross-language effects by testing NH Dutch and English children, and the suitability of the EmoHI test for hearing-impaired populations, specifically for prelingually deaf Dutch children with cochlear implants (CIs). Our results show that NH children's performance improved significantly with age from the youngest age group onwards (4-6 years: 48.9%, on average). However, NH children's performance did not reach adult-like values (adults: 94.1%) even for the oldest age group tested (10-12 years: 81.1%). Additionally, the effect of age on NH children's development did not differ across languages. All except one CI child performed at or above chance-level showing the suitability of the EmoHI test. In addition, seven out of 14 CI children performed within the NH age-appropriate range, and nine out of 14 CI children did so when performance was adjusted for hearing age, measured from their age at CI implantation. However, CI children showed great variability in their performance, ranging from ceiling (97.2%) to below chance-level performance (27.8%), which could not be explained by chronological age alone. The strong and consistent development in performance with age, the lack of significant differences across the tested languages for NH children, and the above-chance performance of most CI children affirm the usability and versatility of the EmoHI test.

description: The aims of this study were to assess the impact of the lockdowns on Victorian women’s alcohol consumption and to examine impacts by age. 149 Victorian women (Mage (SD) = 42.6 (12.7)) completed 2,416 weekly surveys between May 2020 and February 2021. Multi-level models were estimated to assess the impact of COVID-19 lockdown period and age on the frequency and quantity of participants’ weekly drinking. Overall, reductions in Victorian women’s alcohol consumption were observed during both lockdowns, although greater reductions were apparent during the stricter lockdown with curfew. Both lockdowns also resulted in larger reductions in weekly drinking quantity, with fewer changes to drinking frequency. The COVID-19 lockdowns resulted in overall reductions in the quantity, and to a lesser extent, the frequency of women’s drinking in Victoria and these effects were significantly larger for younger women (aged 18–29).

description: We describe the design, construction, calibration, and characterization of a multi-primary high dynamic range (MPHDR) display system for use in vision research. The MPHDR display is the first system to our knowledge to allowfor spatially controllable, high dynamic range stimulus generation using multiple primaries.We demonstrate the high luminance, high dynamic range, and wide color gamut output of the MPHDR display. During characterization, the MPHDR display achieved a maximum luminance of 3200 cd=m2, a maximum contrast range of 3; 240; 000 V 1, and an expanded color gamut tailored to dedicated vision research tasks that spans beyond traditional sRGB displays. We discuss how the MPHDR display could be optimized for psychophysical experiments with photoreceptor isolating stimuli achieved through the method of silent substitution. We present an example case of a range of metameric pairs of melanopsin isolating stimuli across different luminance levels, from an available melanopsin contrast of117%at 75 cd=m2 to a melanopsin contrast of23%at 2000 cd=m2.

description: Athlete Management Systems (AMS) provide a central repository for performance, training and medical data for elite and developing athletes. Self-report wellness measures as monitoring tools are used extensively in elite sport as valid indicators of the recovery status of an athlete. Wellness parameters such as sleep quality and quantity, fatigue and stress are being monitored in professional sport via AMS; however, wellness monitoring with an AMS has not been trialled in the professional Australian Performing Arts Industry. This research aimed to evaluate the practicality of using an AMS to monitor wellness parameters in a professional ballet company.

description: "RIW" [portmanteau ger. "Revolution", "Ist", "Webber", also eng. "Revolutionist" "Webber"] is a quasi-MAB [quasi-Multi Authors Blog] maintaining both the centrality for a main authorship, and distributing its mechanism fulcrums as in the Theory of Networks, thus creating a participatory, polycentric, adaptive and genetic-growing platform. The model of the RIW is a hybrid between an organized multi-layers, hierarchical pyramid and a Network of networks [NNs], springing a fertile pattern for innovative political and social organizations. In this introductory paper, a famous Italian journalist's blog was taken as a starting example, currently maintained on Wordpress; Rivoluzione Italiana. According to the model used, the RIW can identify as a "cultural entity of the very long term," according to the principle of "Long Now", since the dynamics of his system naturally pushes the swing with long intervals.

description: Athlete Management Systems (AMS) have been found to be critically important for performance preparation and monitoring in professional sport. Subjective ratings of wellness (fatigue and stress) within the professional sporting industry appear sensitive to changes in work-demands and provide a useful tool to monitor adaptive responses to the rigorous demands of training, competition, and life as a professional athlete. Significant improvements in ratings of wellness (stress, sleep quality and quantity) in professional sport have been found following performance periods, demonstrating the sensitivity of wellness changes in training and competition/performance phases. At a professional level, ballet dancers must be experts in the aesthetic and technical aspects of the art, psychologically prepared and manage injury effectively. In the Australian Performing Arts Industry, self-reported wellness profiles relative to work-related activity and performance periods have not been established. To identify if professional ballet dancer wellness profiles align with professional athletes, this research aimed to compare self-reported wellness profiles of professional ballet dancers and professional athletes within the context of elite high-level performance.

description: Since December 2019, the world is potentially facing one of the most difficult infectious situations of the last decades. COVID-19 epidemic warrants consideration as a mass casualty incident (MCI) of the highest nature. An optimal MCI/disaster management should consider all four phases of the so-called disaster cycle: mitigation, planning, response, and recovery. COVID-19 outbreak has demonstrated the worldwide unpreparedness to face a global MCI.This present paper thus represents a call for action to solicitate governments and the Global Community to actively start effective plans to promote and improve MCI management preparedness in general, and with an obvious current focus on COVID-19.

description: There is a current escalating need for telehealth (TH) options in family mental health services. In the absence of replicated evidence, TH guidelines from peak bodies are largely based on assumptions of the effectiveness of TH methods. New investments in TH would optimally be based in evidence of clinical efficacy. To this end, we conducted three studies in which we (1) systematically reviewed eight professional guidelines for TH family therapy, (2) examined replicated evidence for the efficacy of TH family therapy through systematic review of 20 studies and meta-analyses of 13 effects, and (3) synthesised clinical accommodations to TH methodology from a study of 12 experienced TH family therapists. The studies found (1) a predominant focus in existing TH guidelines on operational matters pertaining to TH and relative neglect of therapeutic process; (2) meta-analyses of efficacy for child behavioural problems (k = 8) and parental depression (k = 5) showed equivalent outcomes in TH and face-to-face therapy and enhanced outcomes in TH relative to treatment as usual, resource provision (i.e. written materials), or wait-list control. Narrative review of 20 studies for a range of relational and mental health outcomes aligned with these findings; and (3) therapists defined clear conditions for enhanced engagement and therapeutic process via TH and reflected on cautions and accommodations for purposes of rapport building and mitigating risk. Given moderate-strong evidence for the efficacy of TH methods of family therapy for a range of conditions, we offer recommendations for future implementation of TH for family therapy.
Acetoin- und Diacetyl-Bildung einiger Lactobactetiaceae im Hinblick auf den Biologischen Säureabbau

description: Mit je zwei homo- und heterofermentativen Milchsäurebakterien wurde die Acetoin- und Diacetylbildung in Abhängigkeit von Substratveränderungen untersucht. • L. citrovorum und L. mesenteroides bilden nur auf glucosefreiem Substrat Acetoin und Diacetyl. Malat, Pyruvat und Acetaldehyd steigern die Nebenproduktsynthese. • St. diacetilactis bildet in glucosehaltigem Substrat nur Diacetyl, in glucosefreiem dagegen nur Acetoin. Die Zugabe von Metaboliten beeinflußt in den verwendeten Konzentrationen die Nebenproduktbildung nicht. • Lb. plantarum bildet in glucosehaltigem Medium bis zu 160 mg/l Acetoin und kein Diacetyl. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Stämmen ist die Acetoinbildung wachstumsabhängig. Durch Zugabe von Malat, Pyruvat und Acetaldehyd zu glucosefreiem Substrat nimmt das an sich stark reduzierte Wachstum zu und entsprechend Acetoin. Unter diesen Bedingungen wird Diacetyl synthetisiert. • Für die Acetoinbildung wird folgender Regulationsmechanismus diskutiert: Ein großer NAD/NADH-Quotient könnte einen Pyruvatstau verursachen, die Voraussetzung für eine Acetoinsynthese. Über die Größe des Quotienten entscheidet die Art des Glucoseabbaues. In glucosefreiem Substrat entscheiden Pyruvat-, Acetaldehyd- und Malatgehalt über das Ausmaß an Acetoin. • Die Diacetylsynthese folgt einem anderen Regulationsschema. Extrem reduzierte Wachstumsbedingungen könnten auslösendes Moment sein. • Praktische Gesichtspunkte werden diskutiert.

description: This paper means to demonstrate the theoretical-and-methodological potential of a particular pattern of thought about culture. Employing an end-means and absolute value plus concept of reality approach, the continuous model of culture aims to embrace from one holistic standpoint various concepts and debates of the modern human, social, and political sciences. The paper revisits the fact versus value, nature versus culture, culture versus structure, agency versus structure, and economics versus politics debates and offers the concepts of the rule of law, state capitalism, a dialectical model of progress, and interpretative qualitative research, as well as of cultural diffusion, autonomy, alienation, and individuality. This model distinguishes between the ideal-symbolical and the instrumental functions of culture, sees culture as being sewn from universal binaries, and provides a certain understanding of the cognitive function of a value judgment, with positivism so far vague about the topic. It, too, suggests an extra method for investigating culture(s): the comparative literature study of culture(s) enables social science to view literature as its potential in-depth interviewee—a case for arguing for a certain conception of interdisciplinarity as well. In addition, it predicts that cultural particularism or individuality remains an essential factor of human existence. Analyzing the issue of Eurocentrism in social science, the model finds modernity’s concept of reality to be involved in “methodological” intellectualistic reductionism, characterizing it since the empiricism/rationalism origination. Systematically confusing the universal oppositions in a Eurocentric manner, intellectualism becomes a contributing factor in unfolding post-modernity.

description: The adoption of IoT in agriculture faces significant challenges due to inadequate field-level connectivity. LoRaWAN has emerged as a leading solution, offering long-range, low-power communication with scalable deployment options. Cloud-based LoRaWAN gateway implementations, including Wi-Fi, cellular, and hybrid approaches, are presented to leverage existing farm infrastructure to reduce costs. An open-source software stack was designed to process and store sensor data efficiently, ensuring scalability and resilience. Case studies to demonstrate successful deployments in a commercial apple orchard and a research farm highlight real-world application. A cost evaluation framework is also provided, revealing minimal costs for the hardware implementations, software for analysis, and data storage.While IoT improves site-specific, real-time farm data collection, Generative AI has potential to transform farm data analysis by reducing knowledge barriers, enhancing digital solutions, and interfacing with multiple data sources to enable intuitive interactions. By leveraging Generative AI tools, farm managers could efficiently extract insights from both dissociated (requiring import) and integrated (directly connected) data sources. Dissociated data demonstrations showcased Generative AI capabilities in analyzing machinery maintenance records from a CSV file, financial statements in an Excel file paired with a university extension resource PDF, and yield data paired with soil type spatial data in CSV files. A framework for integrated data was also provided, with demonstrations utilizing public weather data, a private field records database, and an SQL database containing IoT sensor data, each accessed via in-built and custom APIs. Generative AI did generate correct responses to relatively complex analyses, but care in prompting is required. Further developments and research in Generative AI are required to enhance its reliability for management decisions, and some degree of custom coding remains necessary for integrated data.

description: Background: Head and neck arterio-venous malformations (AVM) are not frequent lesions and no thyroid cases have been reported to date; as hypervascular nodular lesions, they can be misdiagnosed as malignant. Findings: We present two patients with palpable thyroid nodules with suspicions of malignancy based on the hypervascular imaging findings. Histologically, these lesions were well-defined adenomatous nodules with multiple interconnected blood vessels of variable size, many of them dilated and arranged predominantly at the periphery of the lesions. These findings characterize thyroid AVM in the background of adenomatous nodules. Age-matched euthyroid benign non-infiltrative follicular lesions without vascular component, adenomatous hyperplastic nodules (37) and follicular adenomas (21), during the same period (2 years) were retrieved to evaluate vascular markers. Compared with the non-nodular tissues and controls, the hyperplastic nodules with vascular malformation displayed significant mRNA overexpression for VEGF-A, PDGF-A, PDGF-B, and eNOS. Conclusions: Vascular lesions of thyroid gland are rare and they can present as palpable nodules revealing well-defined edges, zonal blood vessel distribution and up-regulation of VEGF-related pathway and eNOS. These findings can help identify the true nature of these lesions.

description: Currently there is no consensus regarding the aetiology of the excessive ocular volume that characterizes high myopia. Thus, we aimed to test whether the gene pathways identified by gene set enrichment analysis of RNA-seq transcriptomics refutes the predictions of the Retinal Ion Driven Efflux (RIDE) hypothesis when applied to the induction of form-deprivation myopia (FDM) and subsequent recovery (post-occluder removal). We found that the induction of profound FDM led to significant suppression in the ligand-gated chloride ion channel transport pathway via suppression of glycine, GABA and GABA ionotropic receptors. Post-occluder removal for short term recovery from FDM of 6 h and 24 h, induced significant upregulation of the gene families linked to cone receptor phototransduction, mitochondrial energy, and complement pathways. These findings support a model of form deprivation myopia as a Cl ion driven adaptive fluid response to the modulation of the visual signal cascade by form deprivation that in turn affects the resultant ionic environment of the outer and inner retinal tissues, axial and vitreal elongation as predicted by the RIDE model. Occluder removal and return to normal light conditions led to return to more normal upregulation of phototransduction, slowed growth rate, refractive recovery and apparent return towards physiological homeostasis.

description: This episode of the Völkerrechtliche Tagesthemen focuses on the International and European Law before the Meta Oversight Board. In January 2021, the Meta Oversight Board published its first decisions regarding content decisions of Facebook and Instagram. According to its Charter, the Oversight Board was established “to protect free expression by making principled, independent decisions about important pieces of content and by issuing policy advisory opinions on Meta’s content policies.” At first glance, the Oversight Board is a form of private governance, reviewing the content moderation decisions of a private company. Yet this private nature belies its public function and global importance. In its short period of operation, the Oversight Board has referred to an array of international and regional instruments in its decisions, including human rights treaties, General Comments, and reports of UN Special Rapporteurs. The Oversight Board has also taken decisions of fundamental importance to states, involving decisions related to elections, outbreaks of violence and access to information. The lecture will discuss the ways in which the Oversight Board has used international and European law in its early decisions. Can the Oversight Board help develop international law and human rights law? How should public international law conceive these private forms of international governance?

description: This paper means to demonstrate the theoretical-and-methodological potential of a particular pattern of thought about culture. Employing an end-means and absolute value plus concept of reality approach, the continuous model of culture aims to embrace from one holistic standpoint various concepts and debates of the modern human, social, and political sciences. The paper revisits the fact versus value, nature versus culture, culture versus structure, agency versus structure, and economics versus politics debates and offers the concepts of the rule of law, state capitalism, a dialectical model of progress, and interpretative qualitative research, as well as of cultural diffusion, autonomy, alienation, and individuality. This model distinguishes between the ideal-symbolical and the instrumental functions of culture, sees culture as being sewn from universal binaries, and provides a certain understanding of the cognitive function of a value judgment, with positivism so far vague about the topic. It, too, suggests an extra method for investigating culture(s): the comparative literature study of culture(s) enables social science to view literature as its potential in-depth interviewee—a case for arguing for a certain conception of interdisciplinarity as well. In addition, it predicts that cultural particularism or individuality remains an essential factor of human existence. Analyzing the issue of Eurocentrism in social science, the model finds modernity’s concept of reality to be involved in “methodological” intellectualistic reductionism, characterizing it since the empiricism/rationalism origination. Systematically confusing the universal oppositions in a Eurocentric manner, intellectualism becomes a contributing factor in unfolding post-modernity.

description: The aim of the study is to determine the performance of the transmission ball in one and two-touch athletes Ukrainian National Team. The material for the study included a video of friendly and official matches of the Ukrainian team at the European Championships in 2012. It is established that the team performed for the match 78 - 63 gears with one touch (replication error - 20.51% - 34.72%) and 124 - 107 gears in two touches (replication error - 10.28% - 17.79%). It is noted that the lower estimate corresponds to the transmission rate of less than 100 goals in one touch of the match. Team deserves high marks, performing over 130 such programs ball per game. Ukrainian national team in 2011, served an average of 125 per game gear ball in two touches. More gear ball with one touch in 2012 Ukrainian performed in the game against England - 78 assists. It is noted that the figures obtained passes of ball team of Ukraine are the basis for the preparation of the appropriate correction for the next match.

description: The Romanian child welfare system has undergone a series of major changes over the past two decades, impacting the type of care and developmental outcomes
for Romanian orphans and foster children. Each distinct reform period within this
twenty-year span can be identified by the laws and governmental reform measures
enacted, the shift in child population among various Romanian institutions and
foster care homes, types of institutions available to children, level of care, shift in
reasons for child abandonment, changes in ways children are routed through the
system, and how these changes have effect children’s development, health, and
psychological well-being.
Seed fertility in tetraploid grapes and their crosses with diploids

description: The fruit and seed set as well as the occurrence of empty seeds in diploids, tetraploids and their crosses in five varieties of grapes were studied. Ovule lengths at certain intervals after anthesis in the diploid and tetraploid of one variety have been presented to indicate development of ovules. Late abortions of ovules resulting in empty seededness in tetraploids were found to be related to the shortening of period II of berry growth, earlier and greater accumulation of TSS, the earlier onset of period III and the higher rate of growth of the ovary. The consequent lack of adjustment between the pace of growth of endosperm and the ovary probably led to somatoplasitc sterility.

Glocalization Trends: The Case of Hiplife Music in Contemporary Ghana

Subjects: subject: Anthropology

description: This paper responds to Kraidy’s (1999) proposal to communication scholars, specifically international and intercultural communication researchers, to utilize the “glocalization” concept to investigate global-local communication. This plea resonates with the views of certain international communication scholars (Straubhaar, 1991; Harindranath, 2003), who, despite acknowledging the limitations in the media imperialism thesis to analyze contemporary complex global-local communication, argues for a modification of the thesis. I deem the “glocalization” idea as such a corrective in that it allows for a holistic approach in investigating the nuanced juncture of contemporary global-local interactions. I utilize the glocalization concept to examine hiplife music, a Ghanaian reappropriation of U.S. rap music. Specifically, I investigate two Ghanaian-based discourses (verbal indirection and naming practices) that artists combine with this global music phenomenon in creating a distinct local music genre. The overall aim of this paper is to fill the research lacuna on hiplife music, as well as an attempt to demonstrate the utility of the glocalization concept.

description: A factorial trial was carried out by using forty-year-old Zante currant vines (Vitis vinifera var. Zante currant; Black Corinth), to compare the effect of some cultural practices on fresh and dried fruit yield, berry size and sugar content. It showed that cincturing over the two years of the trial increased the fresh and dried fruit yield. PCPA sprays failed to increase yield and produced excessibely large berries, while topping and pinching have no significant effect on yield.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Untersuchungen an bewurzelten Rebstecklingen mit CCC (2-Chloräthyl-trimethylammoniumchlorid) und B-9 (2,2-Dimethylbernsteinsäurehydrazid) auf das Pflanzengewicht und die Blattstruktur durchgeführt. Mit zunehmender Hemmung des Triebwachstums wird zunächst das Stengelgewicht und bei stärkerer Hemmung auch das Blattgewicht vermindert. Eine Veränderung des Wurzelgewichtes durch die Behandlung des Sprosses mit Hemmstoffen konnte nicht festgestellt werden. Der Wassergehalt des Sprosses wird nicht verändert. Durch CCC und B-9 werden die Oberflächenentwicklung reduziert und der Hartlaubcharakter erhöht.

The effect of leaf area and crop level on the concentration of amino acids and total nitrogen in 'Thompson Seedless' grapes
Creators: name: Kliewer, W. M.

Year: 2017

description: 20 to 50% of the leaves and 25 to 75% of the clusters on 'Thompson Seedless' vines were removed 12 to 16 days after anthesis. In addition, 25 and 50% of the leaves on other vines were removed 35 and 58 days after anthesis, with no cluster thinning. Total soluble solids in fruits from vines with less than 5 cm2 of leaf surface per gram of fruits was markedly reduced, while concentration in fruits from vines with a ratio above 10 was considerably higher, compared to the concentration in fruits from vines with ratios intermediate between these two values. The concentrations of arginine, proline, total free amino acids, and total N in berry juice were greatly increased by reducing the crop load. Also, the concentration of each of these substances increased during fruit ripening. A significant correlation between leaf area per vine and level of arginine in the juice was obtained. The concentration of proline in the juice was highly correlated with fruit maturity (°B) and with leaf area per unit weight of fruits. Total nitrogen was also correlated with leaf area per unit weight of fruits. Between 4 and 12 cm2 leaf area per gram of fruits there was a linear increase in the concentration of proline and total nitrogen in berry juice, while above 12 cm2 there was generally little further increase in the level of these substances. The ratio of arginine to proline decreased with fruit maturity and with smaller crop weights per vine. Total free amino acids accounted for 64 to 75% of the total nitrogen in the juice of grapes during the fruit-ripening period. Defoliation within 16 days after anthesis reduced crop yields, while later defoliations did not significantly reduce yields.
