Gender gap in cardiothoracic surgery randomized controlled trial and post-hoc analysis of randomized controlled trial authorship from 2014 to 2020.

To estimate gender disparities among first and last authorships in cardiothoracic randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and association of gender with publications in high-impact journals. PubMed/MEDLINE database was searched from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 using R statistical software via the 'easyPubMed' package to retrieve pertinent data. The 'gender' package was utilized to determine gender using the United States Social Security Administration Baby Name Data. The percentage of female first and last authors were computed along with determining the uniqueness of the names. The association of gender and publication in high-impact peer-reviewed journals was delineated. Jonckheere's trend was computed. The database search retrieved a total of 4820 RCTs, of which gender was encoded for the first author in 3247 (67%) RCTs, among which 911 (28%) studies had women as first authors, with a similar trend across 7 years (P = 0.23). Gender was encoded for the last author of 3204 (66%) RCTs, of which 622 (19%) studies had women as last authors, with a similar trend across 7 years (P = 0.45). A total of 627 studies were published in high-impact-factor journals, among which 79 (16%) studies had female first authors and 67 (13%) studies had female last authors. There is an obvious gender disparity of first and last authors in cardiothoracic surgery-related RCTs, with a similar trend across 7 years. However, the post-hoc analysis did demonstrate a positive trend with an increase in the number of female first authors, demonstrating progress.

Couple Identity Work: Collaborative Couplehood, Gender Inequalities, and Power in Naming

The study of baby naming is valuable for understanding how gender inequality is reproduced in families. Often treated as an event, baby naming also represents an important social and cultural process that can reveal gendered dynamics in couple decision-making. Baby naming, which represents a highly visible and symbolic family milestone, is a strategic site in which to examine how couple identities are constructed—for self, partner, and others—through the naming process and through stories parents tell of how they named the baby. Drawing on 46 interviews with U.S. Mexican-origin heterosexual parents, we expose tensions that result when practices do not align with a desired (egalitarian) couple identity and detail the ensuing cognitive, emotion, and narrative labor that parents—primarily women—perform to reconcile inconsistencies. We introduce the concept of couple identity work, or the work involved in creating and projecting a desired impression of a relationship for multiple audiences, to provide a theoretical framework for these gendered dynamics. We show how couple identity work is enacted—and power expressed—through men’s and women’s strategies of action/inaction and storytelling, and how this work reproduces and obscures gendered power and inequality in the intimate context of baby naming.

Historical changes in baby names in China.

Based on previous research on names and naming practices, I propose three suggestions to Bao et al. (2021), which investigated historical changes in given names of Han Chinese in China between 1920 and 2005. Their study analyzed a one-shot cross-sectional survey conducted in 2005 and reported that unique names increased from 1920 to 2005. The authors concluded that China became more individualistic over time for the period. However, three questions have remained unanswered in Bao et al. (2021). First, were the samples of older birth cohorts truly representative? Second, did unique names increase only after the 1970s? Third, how are the historical changes in average name length interpreted? Answering these three questions would contribute to a further understanding of the historical changes in given names and their underlying psychological/cultural shifts in China.

Ethnobotanical study of peraq api ritual in Sasak Tribe of Lombok Island, Indonesia and its potential for sustainable tourism

Abstract. Rahayu SM, Batoro J, Sukenti K, Hakim L. 2023. Ethnobotanical study of peraq api ritual in Sasak Tribe of Lombok Island, Indonesia and its potential for sustainable tourism. Biodiversitas 24: 5485-5494. Peraq api is a ritual for giving baby names by the Sasak Tribe in Lombok Island, Indonesia. This ritual uses various species of plants and processions to symbolize values and beliefs of the Sasak people. This unique cultural knowledge and practice might interest tourists to experience the ritual. This study aims to determine the diversity of plant species used in peraq api ritual and the ethnobotanical knowledge embedded on it, and to assess the potential of utilizing this ritual for sustainable tourism development. This research was conducted in villages around the Mandalika Area, including Sengkol, Kuta, Sukadana, and Mertak Villages, located in Pujut Sub-district, Central Lombok District, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The research was carried out by combining the methods of direct observation, participatory observation and interviews. Information on the species and vernacular names, plant part used, mode of use, conservation status of the plant as well as its habitat were collected and analyzed using descriptive and qualitative approaches. Based on the research, it was found that 15 families, 21 genera and 22 plant species were used in peraq api ritual. Each plant symbolizes the indigenous value and beliefs of Sasak Tribe related to their connection with God, people and environment. The use of plants in peraq api ritual also shows the indigenous intelligence of the Sasak Tribe. Traditional knowledge about the uses of plants and landscape management plays an important role in plant conservation. Plants used in the peraq api ritual can be found in various habitats, including homegarden, garden, riverside and ricefield. These various habitats resemble the indigenous ecological and ethnobotanical knowledge of Sasak Tribe in landscape management which has a very positive role in conserving biodiversity, creating a sustainable environment and socio-cultural preservation. The peraq api ritual has the potential to be develope as a sustainable tourism. The development of peraq api rituals for tourism might be useful to preserve cultural values of Sasak Tribe ??as a national cultural asset, conserve plant diversity and environment and improve the welfare of local communities.

THE INFLUENCE OF ANTHROPONYMS (PERSPECTIVES FROM PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS IN THE LATE 19TH TO EARLY 20TH CENTURY)

The aim of this scientific research is to analyze the contributions of psychiatrists and psychologists from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who focused on cases of obsessive attraction or uncontrollable fear related to personal names. The study examines the emotional reactions caused by personal names and surnames, as well as the influence of names on the behavior of individuals. The research focuses on anthroponyms as fundamental components of the naming system, exploring their impact on various aspects of individuals’ lives based on the cases described in the scientific works of psychiatrists and psychologists from that time period. Through an analysis of the counseling practices of late nineteenth-century psychiatrists, anthroponyms were reevaluated as subjects of irrational passion (onomatomania) or fear (onomatophobia). Undesirable thoughts related to names were believed to significantly affect the daily lives of patients during that era, although contemporary colleagues express doubts regarding this potential influence of anthroponyms. Subsequent studies documented intriguing connections between personal names and the behavior of their bearers: some individuals emulated the qualities associated with their names, while others sought to erase their anthroponyms from memory entirely. The research explores topics such as intentional transformations of anthroponyms to solve professional or personal problems, motives of namers influencing their choices for baby names, and the mechanisms behind forgetting personal names. This new perspective highlights how certain names can evoke powerful associations that influence various aspects of an individual’s life and can be used as tools of manipulation in communication, conveying respect or disrespect for the bearer. Additionally, psychologists have attempted to address the question of a possible correlation between a person’s name and their personal characteristics. Based on cases of unconscious name influence on behavior, it was proposed three categories where such influence is most notable: general influence on character and behavior, professional sphere, and personal relationships.

Allotaxonometry and rank-turbulence divergence: a universal instrument for comparing complex systems

Complex systems often comprise many kinds of components which vary over many orders of magnitude in size: Populations of cities in countries, individual and corporate wealth in economies, species abundance in ecologies, word frequency in natural language, and node degree in complex networks. Here, we introduce ‘allotaxonometry’ along with ‘rank-turbulence divergence’ (RTD), a tunable instrument for comparing any two ranked lists of components. We analytically develop our rank-based divergence in a series of steps, and then establish a rank-based allotaxonograph which pairs a map-like histogram for rank-rank pairs with an ordered list of components according to divergence contribution. We explore the performance of rank-turbulence divergence, which we view as an instrument of ‘type calculus’, for a series of distinct settings including: Language use on Twitter and in books, species abundance, baby name popularity, market capitalization, performance in sports, mortality causes, and job titles. We provide a series of supplementary flipbooks which demonstrate the tunability and storytelling power of rank-based allotaxonometry.

Analysis Of Innovation “Puber Anak Melania” In Acceleration Of Birth Certificate Ownership For Children 0-18 Years In The Dinas Kependudukan Dan Pencatatan Sipil Kota Payakumbuh Using Grounded Theory

“Puber Anak Melania” is a Program of the Payakumbuh City Government, in this case the Population and Civil Registration Office as a new innovation in providing convenience in obtaining family cards, birth certificates and baby identity cards for the people of Payakumbuh City. It is an acronym for "Pulang Bersalin Anak mendapat Akta Lahir dan Identitas Anak". This innovation program is a collaborative program with the Payakumbuh City Population and Civil Registration Office with RSKIA, Community Health Centers and independent practicing midwives throughout Payakumbuh City for mothers who give birth in health facilities in Payakumbuh City. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Puber Anak Melania service innovation program in accelerating birth certificate ownership in Payakumbuh City, the inhibiting factors and to find out the efforts made by the Payakumbuh Population and Civil Registration Office using a grounded theory approach. Based on the research results, the authors concluded that the implementation of Puber Anak Melania Service innovation was quite effective. Even though there were obstacles such as the parents had not prepared the documents and requirements for issuing a birth certificate, the parents' data and documents had not been valid, and the baby's name had not been prepared by the parents so that the issuance of the birth certificate could not be processed.

Based on the research results, the authors conclude that the implementation of the service innovation "Melania Childhood Puberty" has been going well but the results have not been optimal, namely there are obstacles such as documents and requirements for issuing birth certificates that have not been prepared by parents, data and documents of parents are not yet valid, and names the parents had not prepared the baby so that the issuance of the birth certificate could not be processed.

Name Transmission Relationships in England (1838-2014)

Baby names are often used to model the mechanisms of cultural evolution, as they are not given arbitrarily but on the basis of their perceived associations. Datasets showing birth registrations over time track changes in these perceptions, and thereby in tastes and ideas. Using birth registration data, numerous transmission biases have been identified that predispose someone to favour one cultural variant (i.e., a name) over another. While this research is facilitated by the annual release of many countries’ birth registration data, these datasets are typically limited to yearly counts of forenames. To gain insight into name transmission biases not detectable from birth registration data alone, this study parses the birth, marriage, and death registers of England to generate a dataset of 690,603 name transmission relationships, given between 1838 and 2014, and linking the names of both parents and child. The data reveal long-term trends in matro- and patronymic naming, once common practices affecting approximately 15% of male and 8% of female records per year throughout the 19th century. These practices declined precipitously throughout the 20th century, in the aftermath of the First World War. These results highlight the importance of contextualising birth registration data when identifying naming trends.

About the Semantic and Pragmatic Typology of Names Giving Protection from ‘the Evil Eye’: With Reference to an Ethnographic Record from Boljevac

The semantic and pragmatic typology of protective names which we have previously proposed – with reference to the latest increase in the frequency of the name Vuk (originating from Serbian vuk ‘wolf’), registered in Montenegro and Serbia – is in this paper examined and complemented using an interdisciplinary method, starting from the record made by Savatije Grbić in 1909 in the then Boljevački District, where he worked as a teacher, about the names of babies born to Serbian families. Given in order to allegedly protect against demonic creatures and forces (such as witches and spells), the names were used until baptism, and in case of female newborns, they were: Cigančica ‘little Roma girl’ and Bulče ‘little Muslim girl, i.e. Turkish girl’, while in case of male newborns, they were: Turče ‘little Turk’, Čore ‘little girl?’ and Keža ‘weakling’?. By interpreting one by one the above names, and especially Čore and Keža, we examine the semantic aspect of the typology, deducing that these are the names whose alleged purpose was to ward off all that is demonic by way of deception (as opposed to names such as Vuk, whose alleged purpose was to ward off all that is demonic by way of intimidation). The pragmatic aspect of the typology, consisting of the previously proposed form only of the division into the only and additional protective names (for any use, or for all uses except for the official one), is hereby complemented – based not only on Grbić’s record, but also on ethnographic records from other locations within the Serbian ethnic area – by the division into generic and specific protective names (for all male or female children in the given region, or for each one individually), and by the division into temporary and permanent protective names (until baptism, i.e. any other milestone, or until the end of life), deducing that in the region surrounding Boljevac protective names were generic and temporary. We also establish (and this for the first time in Serbian academia) the origin and meaning of the custom of giving a newborn an ime na vodici/znamenju ‘temporary Christian name given before baptism, right after the first blessing with holy water’, deducing that the Serbian Orthodox clergy – in the way of St. Sava (in the way that, for example, in celebrating the family patron saint’s day, krsna slava in Serbian, the ancestor cult and/or the fertility cult were replaced by the cult of the family patron saint) – probably replaced (but not at once!) protective names, which were usually either “horrible” or “ugly”, with specific temporary names which were neither “horrible” nor “ugly”, often naming newborns after the saint whose day was celebrated in the days around their day of birth.

Taking Stock of the Evidence for the Gender-Equality Paradox in Gendered Names: A Reply to Berggren (2023) with New Data

A phonetic feature called voicing has been shown to reflect the gendering of names. Vishkin et al. leveraged this insight to examine gender differentiation as a function of increasing gender equality, both across historical time and across the 50 United States. In this reply, I address a wide range of criticisms raised by Berggren on these findings. I begin by presenting novel data from 76+ million baby names in France from 1900 to 2021. Findings converge with Berggren’s conclusion that the historical trend of voicing of female names is nonlinear and therefore cannot be fully accounted for by the monotonic increase of gender equality. However, I show the state-level analysis is robust to his critiques. I conclude that there are more gendered names in more gender-equal societies at the state level, even though the historical data does not shed light on the historical development of this phenomenon.

Thrice the Pain

Thrice the Pain Taylor McIntyre Like most girls do, I grew up dreaming about becoming a mom, baby names, pregnancy, and starting my own family with a handsome man. Well, that day came a little bit sooner than expected. I was a 19-year-old college freshman when I took my first-ever pregnancy test. I about fell over when I saw those two pink lines, and boy was I scared—scared to tell my boyfriend and parents; scared about how a baby would change everything about my education and career path; scared about how it would affect my friendships. But mostly, I was excited. I was the oldest of 4 kids and had helped raise my three younger brothers. I could do this! A baby of my own would be magical! I told my boyfriend, and while he shed a few tears out of fear, he was excited too, and we decided to get married! While initially shocked and a bit disappointed in my actions, my parents got past that and were already looking forward to their first grandchild. With all that out of the way, the next stop was our first doctors appointment! I was 9-weeks by the time I got in, and I was so thrilled to check on my tiny babe. After all the normal exams that get pretty personal, it was time to use the doppler to check on the heartbeat! The doctor looked and looked all over my belly, but the only heartbeat we could hear was my own. This scared me but the doctor assured me that it was still early and there was no reason to be alarmed; we'd hear it next time. So I tried not to worry and went on with life. I spent most nights dreaming of my baby and most every day planning our future. At 13 weeks, I went back to my OBGYN for our next appointment, and of course I couldn't wait to hear that heartbeat finally. Once again, no dice. No matter how long he searched, he could not find the heartbeat. I thought for sure we would do an ultrasound to check everything out, but no—the doctor said that sometimes based on the location of the placenta and other variables, it could just be difficult to hear, and we'd for sure hear it next time. I was so young. I just didn't know enough to recognize that something was really wrong. I tried to lock away my anxiety and looked forward to the next appointment because I knew at that point we'd be getting close to halfway through and finding out the gender of our sweet baby. While we'd already sent out invitations for the wedding, I was 15 weeks and 6 days pregnant when my boyfriend got down on one knee with a ring and officially proposed! It was such a special night until I felt a gush of fluid suddenly run down my legs. What in the world?! Honestly, I thought I might have peed my pants. We laughed and I headed to the bathroom to check it out. I was a bit surprised to find a thick, yolk, yellow fluid in my pants. I freaked out and we headed straight to the emergency room. I suffer from pretty severe anxiety. My teeth chattered and I shook the whole way there. They tested the fluid to see if it was amniotic fluid and it wasn't. They told me they were going to do an ultrasound. They hid the screen from me during the exam and told me that a doctor would be in to tell me the results. A female doctor came in with heartbreaking news. She told me that my pregnancy was a blighted ovum. I struggled to understand what she was saying as I tried to internally process that I wasn't going to be having my baby. She said that my body had tricked itself into growing an empty yolk sac and that it had actually stopped growing around 11.5 weeks. Now my body was going to go through the process of expelling all of that from my uterus...

Polychotomous traits and evolution under conformity

Conformist and anticonformist transmission of dichotomous cultural traits (i.e., traits with two variants) have been studied both experimentally, in many species, and theoretically, with mathematical models. Signatures of types of conformity to polychotomous traits (with more than two variants; e.g., baby names and syllables in bird song) have been inferred from population-level data, but there are few models that include individual-level biases among more than two discrete variants. We generalize the standard dichotomous trait conformity model by Boyd and Richerson to incorporate [Formula: see text] role models and [Formula: see text] variants. Our analysis shows that in the case of [Formula: see text] role models, under anticonformity, the central polymorphic equilibrium [Formula: see text] is globally stable, whereas under conformity, if initially the frequencies of [Formula: see text] variants are all equal to the maximum variant frequency in the population, there is global convergence to an equilibrium in which the frequencies of these variants are all [Formula: see text] and all other variants are absent. With a general number n of role models, the same result holds with conformity, whereas under anticonformity, global convergence is not guaranteed, and there may be stable frequency cycles or chaos. If both conformity and anticonformity occur for different configurations of variants among the n role models, a variety of novel polymorphic equilibria may exist and be stable. Future empirical studies may use this formulation to directly quantify an individual's level of (anti)conformist bias to a polychotomous trait.

Character education in the tradition of peraq api in the community of Sasak, Lombok, Indonesia

Character education values are discovered in cultural activities and human interactions with God, others and themselves. This study aims to explore and describe the value of character education in the peraq api of Sasak community in Lombok. This article uses a qualitative research approach. The data collection techniques include observation, interviews and documentation. The data analysis used triangulation with the stages of identifying interview material, classifying, coding, taking emic and hermeneutical approaches. The results of the study elucidate that the procedures and stages of the ritual begin from experimentation, which is considered and believed to have magical powers but does not conflict with religious values. The stages that are passed in carrying out the ritual include activities to prepare materials, process materials, fumigation, carry out rituals and give baby names. The character values comprised in the peraq api tradition are religious, ethical, responsible and environmental care character.Contribution: This research contributes to maintaining the values of character education in the Sasak society.

Measuring frequency-dependent selection in culture.

The frequency of a cultural trait can influence its tendency to be copied. We develop a maximum-likelihood method to measure such frequency-dependent selection from time series data, and we apply it to baby names and purebred dog preferences over the past century. The form of negative frequency dependence we infer among names explains their diversity patterns, and it replicates across the United States, France, Norway and the Netherlands. We find different growth rates for male versus female names, attributable to different rates of innovation, whereas biblical names enjoy a genuine selective advantage at all frequencies, which explains their predominance among top names. We show how frequency dependence emerges from a host of underlying selective mechanisms, including a preference for novelty that recapitulates boom-bust fads among dog owners. Our analysis of cultural evolution through frequency-dependent selection provides a quantitative account of social pressures to conform or to be different.

Seven Names for Light

Seven Names for Light Marc Labriola (bio) Click for larger view View full resolution A woman gives birth in a room where all the windows are covered with pages of a book to be burned. The woman inside, the women outside: all wait for the author. Luz is going to scream. She can't drag her body any closer to the bed, so it will happen where she fell. There is a sound she thinks has come from her. Down her thighs she feels something she knows is not what it feels like. Now a faint odor of semen. Her black hair is dripping. The lights shut off again. There have been rolling blackouts since the night it happened. She's covered all the windows of her third-floor apartment with pages from the book they will eventually burn. She can't let the women see her. Luz pulls off her towel. Her eyes haven't adjusted to the dark. Between her legs little drops slowly cool into glass eyes on the tiles. The blood on the floor would have been red. [End Page 14] There is a shock in her waist. Her body jumps like falling in her sleep. This is her first so Luz doesn't know what hurts when. She can't get to her phone. Her heels slip as she pushes back towards the bed. The water on the floor isn't water. Luz can't breathe anymore. They tell you to breathe. Just make it to the bed. She can't let the women hear her. Luz gropes around the dark floor for something to put in her mouth. Her apartment is half empty now. Just the things that survived. She can still see the rusted steel bars like fossilized ribs where seven months ago pieces of the concrete ceiling collapsed in the earthquake. She bites down on her lip until she can taste it. If this were a dream it would be a symbol of something. It wasn't hard for them to find her. He never should have used the real names of the streets in the novel. They won't leave her alone now they know the father is Gabriel Luria. Her apartment has already been broken into three times. Looted for charms or souvenirs. They took coins, earrings, forks and knives, her lipstick, hairbrush. Anything she touched. Even pulled the sheets off her bed. Luz doesn't want this to happen here. Those strange women waiting in the street. It's too soon. She has six days' clothes packed in the suitcase on her bed. But Luz is one week early. She shuts her eyes tight and mouths her list of baby names that mean colours. Her favourite boy's name means red. This is when Luz screams. Someone outside must have heard the voice of a woman through the wall screaming God. But she knows that at a certain distance she is not a woman screaming. She is just a sound someone thought they heard. Blamed on other things. If you're far enough away, even the worst earthquake in living memory is just a little fetal kick. She listens. No one is coming. She knocks the candle and lighter off the table with the tips of her fingers. Flicks the wheel and it lights. In the book, Gabriel says to her, with your clothes off, I count seven different colours. He says the blue blood in the veins on your legs is not really blue. It's just the behaviour of light coming and going from your skin. Of everything we don't know we mostly don't know about light. Luz bites down hard on the back of her hand. Trying to siphon the pain. Don't let them hear. Day and night they're out there with their dog-eared copies of the book, famous around the world because the day the earthquake happened was the same day the novel said it would happen. The book says a comet from the genitals of the constellation Leo entered the womb of the constellation Virgo in a celestial insemination on exactly the night of July 17, the night of...

IMPLEMENTATION OF MACHINE LEARNING USING THE K-NEAREST NEIGHBOR CLASSIFICATION MODEL IN DIAGNOSING MALNUTRITION IN CHILDREN

The problem faced today is the lack of nutrition for children which causes stunting. One way to prevent stunting problems is to provide input to the community in Aceh for the importance of providing adequate nutrition for children. This study classifies toddlers who are identified as stunting with the K-NN model technology which is modeled in machine learning, the results are grouped. The purpose of this study was to determine the detection of malnutrition in toddlers and to classify data on malnutrition in toddlers using the k-means clustering method and the system that was built could be used as a reference to monitor the growth and development of children. Then in classifying malnutrition in children based on the results of the nutritional status criteria in toddlers, it can be known based on the index of Body Weight for Age (W/U), Height for Age (TB/U), and Weight for Height (W/TB). by entering data values ​​from weight, height and gender of toddlers. The purpose of this study was to determine the detection of malnutrition under five at the Cut Meutia Hospital Kab. North Aceh. The process in the initial data analysis of Mr. ID, baby's name, gender, age, weight (kg), height (cm), the data to be classified for training data are 40 children in each region / village. In the assessment of nutritional status, it is classified as Malnutrition less than 3 SD or 70%, Malnutrition - 3 SD to < - 2 SD or 80%, Good Nutrition -2 SD to +2 SD, Over Nutrition >+2 SD. The results of the final score obtained are euclidean distance with a value of 1.3 with a ranking of malnutrition, age 1.6 months, weight (weight) 0.852, TB (height) 4.556 with euclidean distance with a value of 1.3 with a low ranking. For the second test data, age is 2.8 months, BB (weight) 0.222, TB (height) 4.556 with Euclidean distance with a value of 1.3 with a good rating of 0.778.

Signatures of geography, climate and foliage on given names of baby girls.

Parents often weigh social, familial and cultural considerations when choosing their baby's name, but the name they choose could potentially be influenced by their physical or biotic environments. Here we examine whether the popularity of month and season names of girls covary geographically with environmental variables. In the continental USA, April, May and June (Autumn, Summer) are the most common month (season) names: April predominates in southern states (early springs), whereas June predominates in northern states (later springs). Whether April's popularity has increased with recent climate warming is ambiguous. Autumn is most popular in northern states, where autumn foliage is notably colourful, and in eastern states having high coverage of deciduous foliage. On a continental scale, Autumn was most popular in English-speaking countries with intense colouration of autumn foliage. These analyses are descriptive but indicate that climate and vegetation sometimes influence parental choice of their baby's name.
