Which Attributes Explain Gender Differences in Impostor Syndrome Scores in Medicine and Health Sciences Students: A Secondary Multivariate Analysis

Impostor Syndrome (IS) is a psychological pattern where individuals doubt their accomplishments and fear being exposed as frauds, despite evidence of success. This study investigates gender differences in IS among 753 medical and health sciences students and graduates, using the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale. We aim to discern item-specific gender disparities in IS manifestations and develop a canonical variable that encapsulates these differences. Our findings reveal significant disparities: women display higher scores related to self-doubt and fear of failure, while specific IS aspects in men are associated with overcompensation. These insights suggest the need for gender-specific educational and clinical strategies to address IS in medicine and health sciences. By employing a multivariate analysis of variance, this study refines our understanding of how IS differently affects genders, aiding in the design of targeted interventions that can enhance well-being and professional efficacy among future healthcare professionals. Such strategies are crucial, emphasizing the importance of creating supportive environments to foster resilience in these high-stakes fields.

Psychopedagogical and Gender Causes of Interpersonal Conflicts Summary Analysis of the problem showed that in the psychology of both Azerbaijan and foreign countries there are different approaches to the interpretation, justification and classification of the problem of interpersonal conflict. Along with this, a generalization of the existing approach allows us to understand interpersonal conflict as a complex, psychological pattern in the development of personality, which represents a confrontation between the value-semantic spheres of the individual, arising at the motivational-cognitive, emotional-behavioral levels. Key words: interpersonal conflicts, gender features, personality development, objective and subjective reason of contradictions, theory of education

Risk profiles of elite breath-hold divers

ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine a typical profile of elite breath-hold divers (BHDs), in relation to loss of consciousness (LOC) and episodic memory. Forty-four BHDs were evaluated during a world championship with anthropometric and physiological measurements, psychosociological factors and memory assessment. Seventy-five percent of the BHDs had at least one LOC with the predominance being men (p < 0.05). Thirty six percent of BHDs presented a low-risk profile and 64% a high-risk profile with no particular psychological pattern. Stepwise multiple linear regression showed that body fat, years of BH practice, age and forced vital capacity explained a significant amount of the variance of LOC for all BHDs (F(4,39) = 16.03, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.622, R2 Adjusted = 0.583). No correlation was found between resting physiological parameters and their training or depth performances. In conclusion, anthropometric data, pulmonary factors and breath-holding experience were predictive of LOC in elite BHDs, with men taking more risks. BHDs episodic memory was not impaired.

Imposter Phenomenon Among the Final Year (Part 1 and 2) Medical Students of a Private Medical College in the Union Territory of Puducherry: A Cross Sectional Study

Introduction: “Imposter syndrome” or “Imposter Phenomenon” is not a mental disorder but is considered as a psychological pattern in which people doubt their accomplishments and is associated with certain poor psychological functioning like low self-esteem can be detrimental to medical students. Objective: To find out the prevalence of Imposter phenomenon as well as it association with self-esteem among the final year medical students. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried-out among 249 medical students of a private medical college in the U.T of Puducherry using Clance Imposter Phenomenon scale. Results: 58.2% and 41.8% of the participants were in Part-1 and part-2 of final year respectively. It was observed that every participant had some degree of Imposter phenomenon. Low self –esteem, was found among 12.85% of the study participants. In this study there was no association between the low self-esteem and Imposter Syndrome. Conclusion: It is very clear that the burden of Imposter syndrome is quite high among the medical students as the reasons are varied. Extensive research to elaborate these is the need of the hour, as this information helps in designing the preventive measures for the students who are the future of the nation and the foundation stones of progress.

Mitochondrial Health, Physical Functioning, and Daily Affect: Bioenergetic Mechanisms of Dementia Caregiver Well-Being.

Chronic stress adversely affects mental and physical well-being. However, health outcomes vary among people experiencing the same stressor. Individual differences in physical and emotional well-being may depend on mitochondrial biology, as energy production is crucial for stress regulation. This study investigated whether mitochondrial respiratory capacity corresponds to individual differences in dementia spousal caregivers' mental and physical health. Spousal caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias ( N = 102, mean age = 71, 78% female, 83% White) provided peripheral blood samples and completed self-report questionnaires on quality of life, caregiver burden, and a 7-day affect scale. Multiple and mixed linear regressions were used to test the relationship between mitochondrial biology and well-being. Spare respiratory capacity ( b = 12.76, confidence interval [CI] = 5.23-20.28, p = .001), maximum respiratory capacity ( b = 8.45, CI = 4.54-12.35, p < .0001), and ATP-linked respiration ( b = 10.11, CI = 5.05-15.18, p = .0001) were positively associated with physical functioning. At average ( b = -2.23, CI = -3.64 to -0.82, p = .002) and below average ( b = -4.96, CI = -7.22 to 2.70, p < .0001) levels of spare respiratory capacity, caregiver burden was negatively associated with daily positive affect. At above average levels of spare respiratory capacity, caregiver burden was not associated with positive affect ( p = .65). Findings suggest that higher mitochondrial respiratory capacity is associated with better psychological and physical health-a pattern consistent with related research. These findings provide some of the earliest evidence that cellular bioenergetics are related to well-being.

Comparative Cross-Sectional Study on the Prevalence of Impostor Phenomenon in Medical and Non-Medical Students of Lahore City

BACKGROUND: The Imposter Phenomenon (IP) is a psychological pattern emphasizing feelings of uncertainty and inadequacy despite evidence and acknowledgement of one's competence and accomplishments. It is commonly found among excelling individuals who believe that they have somehow “tricked” others into thinking that they are more capable than they are. There are over 1200 published researches on Impostor Phenomenon since 1978 and this has led to the development of various measurement scales but the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale is the most commonly used instrument by researchers. Till now, there have been various researches regarding the prevalence of the IP among students but there has yet to be a study on a comparison between medical and non-medical students. AIM: The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence and distribution of Imposter phenomenon among medical and non-medical students, as well as to compare the difference in its distribution between males and females. METHODS: A cross-sectional comparative research design was used on a sample of 242 medical and non-medical students of CMH Lahore Medical and Dental College and Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), respectively. The inclusion criteria were medical and non-medical students of both universities while the exclusion criteria were students, who refused to give consent. Data was collected from January to April 2023 and all participants completed a questionnaire based on the Clance Impostor Phenomenon (CIP) scale. After the collection of the data, it was assessed using SPSS version-26 and the the Clance Impostor Phenomenon score was calculated. The CIP score is organized into 4 sets and suggests the range of Impostor Phenomenon (IP) characteristics: &lt;=40 total score (Mild IP), 41-60 total score (Moderate IP) 61-80 total score (Frequent IP characteristics), &gt;=81 total score (Severe IP) RESULTS: After analyzing, using unpaired T-test on the data, the study showed both medical and non-medical students experience imposter phenomenon to a certain degree but the prevalence of imposter phenomenon was found to be significantly higher among LUMS (non-medical) students as compared to CMH (medical) students. The total CIP score determined the severity of IP and showed LUMS having a higher mean value of 67.08 (±13.704), and CMH having 58.36 (±11.413) suggesting much more frequent IP characteristics in non-medical students. It was also noted that although the Imposter phenomenon is observed in both genders, it is much more significant in females with a mean of 68.39 (± 13.737) and 58.52 (±11.345) for males, again showing females to experience frequent impostor phenomenon characteristics. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this study provides evidence that imposter phenomenon is prevalent among both medical and non-medical students and it highlights the need for educators and mentors to focus on the prevailing issue so that this phenomenon can be countered for their future professional growth. To break the vicious cycle of negativity, effort needs to be put in by both students and teachers to be able to achieve positive results.

Современные и исторические параллели восприятия аномии в армянском обществе

&lt;p&gt;The characteristics of perception of anomie are revealed both in modern societies and in the historical past. Although the psychological phenomenon of anomie is expressed in thinking specific for various historical periods, the study of historical and modern parallels allows us to see some models of the development of psychological scientific thought and perception of anomie. Anomie is presented as a psychological pattern of perception with certain characteristics such as social apathy, emotional burnout, alienation, normlessness, social isolation and others. The variety of causes and manifestations of anomie requires the search for new ways and strategies for studying human activity and motivation, which will not only reduce the risks of social apathy, but also adapt the individual to the conditions of rapidly changing social processes. In order to do it it is necessary to study the relationship between the various components of perception of anomie and compare modern anomie issues with historical parallels. The identification of modern and historical parallels in the development of the phenomenon of anomie shows the changes of perception of socio-psychological well-being and worldview. In the methodological sense, the comparative method of the investigation of the perception of anomie allows us to reveal and highlight the historical basis of human worldview.&lt;/p&gt;

The Psychological Aspect in the Dialogue of Civilizations : Stereotypes and Effects

The research paper deals with the subject of the psychological aspect in the dialogue of civilizations in terms of the types of personalities and their effects in a preface that regulates the search terms to define the psychological aspect and clarify what is meant by the dialogue of civilizations both linguistically and terminologically. Then, the researcher tackles two topics, the first is about the analysis of the psychological patterns of the interlocutors and the rules for dealing with them which subsume two requirements, the first about the psychological patterns of the interlocutors and the second about the rules for dealing with these patterns in the civilized dialogue. The second topic, it deals with the psychological effects in the dialogue of civilizations, and there are two requirements under it as well. Thefirst concerns the negative effects, and the second the positive effects. The Research adopts the descriptive analytical approach and utilizes the topics of psychology in the practice of the dialogue of civilizations to synthesize and mix knowledge between two different fields of knowledge to establish a construct capable of achieving cognitive integration between disciplines. Then the research paper reaches a number of conclusions, such as: The psychological patterns of interlocutors are numerous, including the nervous, the curious, the quarrelsome, and the quiet patterns. And among the rules for dealing with these patterns are: defining the psychological pattern, understanding the behavior, promoting spiritual nourishment and purity of faith, featuring discipline and psychological balance, and highlighting the need for guidance and psychological counseling. As for the psychological effects in the dialogue of civilizations, they are divided into negative ones, such as introversion, avoidance of dialogues, a sense of meaninglessness, the absence of goals, projecting interlocutors, and sabotaging dialogue. In contrast, the positive ones include: accepting difference, acceptance of dialogue, psychological exploration, self-review, emotional sharing, and continuous interaction. The paper recommends the need to activate the theory of psychology in the practice of the dialogues of civilizations, and to delve deeper into conducting research studies, especially the field ones to cover this topic, in order to be effective in the studies on the dialogue of civilizations.

Psychedelics and psychological strengths

Classical psychedelics appear efficacious in improving psychological well-being in randomized clinical trials, but their effects in the population at large are relatively unknown. In the present paper, which includes three studies conducted by online survey with a collective 3,157 participants, classical psychedelic users showed greater psychological strengths and well-being, and lower levels of distress, after controlling for demographic variables, respondents’ beliefs about the potential benefits of psychedelics, and their use of other psychoactive drugs. These benefits contrast with patterns for cannabis and alcohol users, both of whom showed comparatively maladaptive profiles. Reported relationships between psychedelic use and the combined index of psychological strengths was fully mediated by self-transcendence. We show an effect of motivation for psychedelic use, where those who reported a ‘growth’ motivation showed the most robustly adaptive psychological profile. Psychedelic users reported more lifetime meditation experience, and within psychedelic users, greater frequency of use correlated with greater hours of lifetime seated meditation practice. Meditation experience did not account for the differences in strengths, well-being, and distress. In these studies, psychedelic users showed an adaptive psychological pattern on a wider array of strengths than previously studied, which were not attributable to several salient covariates. While causality cannot be inferred from this study, findings align with and advance past research which provides evidence for the potential benefits associated with psychedelics.

How Psychological Variables Maybe Correlated with Willingness to Get COVID-19 Vaccine: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study of Polish Novice Nurses.

Nurses became the largest medical group exposed to direct contact with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In this study, we aimed to assess the readiness and motivation for vaccination, as well as the use of sources of information and attitudes toward vaccination depending on the psychological profile. A cross-sectional online survey study was conducted. The study included 145 novice nurses from 8 medical universities who completed 3-year undergraduate studies. Women constituted 97.2% of the respondents (N = 141). The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Brief Resilient Coping Scale, and an original questionnaire were used. Variables were analyzed with descriptive statistics methods. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Among the participants, 73.1% had already been vaccinated against COVID-19 (N = 106). The participants were divided into two groups: G1 (N = 98), characterized by a lower level of anxiety with higher self-efficacy and resilient coping, and G2 (N = 47), with a higher level of anxiety with poorer self-efficacy and resilient coping. The analysis of the potential correlation of psychological pattern with the decision to vaccinate was not statistically significant (p = 0.166). Psychological variables may be correlating with motivation, attitudes toward vaccination, and the choice of reliable sources of information about vaccination. Our study demonstrates the key role of two psychological variables, self-efficacy and resilient coping, in this context.

Effectiveness of STM (Structured Teaching Module) on Knowledge Regarding Home Care Management of the Patients with Chronic Mental Disorder Among Family Members in a Selected Urban Area

A mental disorder or mental illness is a psychological or behavioral pattern associated with distress or disability that occurs in an individual and is not a part of normal development or culture. The recognition and understanding of mental health conditions has changed over time and across cultures, and there are still variations in the definition, assessment, and classification of mental disorders, although standard guideline criteria are widely accepted. Currently, mental disorders are conceptualized as disorders of brain circuits likely caused by developmental processes shaped by a complex interplay of genetics and experience. In other words, the genetics of mental illness may really be the genetics of brain development, with different outcomes possible, depending on the biological and environmental context. The majority of people with schizophrenia have a pattern of illness where they relapse and then have a remission. A significant number of these people become less able to look after themselves after each relapse and their lack of self-care and poorer functioning causes them to become more disabled and isolated. One possible way of helping these people, alongside medication, is to teach them life skills, the components of which are communication and financial awareness, competence in domestic tasks and personal self-care. During the waning days of the Program on Chronic Mental Illness in 1992, a federal task force on homelessness and mental illness released a report; among the recommendations was a call for a service systems demonstration project to further test the systems integration hypothesis. The demonstration was to determine whether a small grant of resources to promote the integration of systems would result in better coordination among mental health providers and other human services providers and would promote residential stability and improved quality of life for individuals who were homeless and had a mental illness. ACCESS was designed with the Program on Chronic Mental Illness in mind. Chronic mental illness has been a social welfare policy issue in the United States for almost two centuries. Characterized by a series of reform movements, mental health policy has been focused on a variety of organizational solutions to the problems of individuals with severe mental illness. Material &amp; Methods: A pre-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design was undertaken to find out Effectiveness of STM (Structured teaching module) on knowledge regarding home care management of the patients with Chronic Mental Disorder among family members. The data was collected from 50 family members of patients with Chronic Mental Disorder through purposive sampling technique using structured interview schedule with close-ended questionnaires. Results: The data revealed that, the total mean knowledge score of the family members during pre-test was 13.96±4.27 which is 39.89% of the total score revealing poor knowledge. The total mean knowledge score of the family members during post-test was 25.54±4.73 which is 72.97% of the total score revealing good knowledge.STM was highly effective for the family members in the age group of 31-40 years, which consist of majority of sample. There was highly significant difference found between the pre and post-test knowledge score. And no significant association between knowledge score of family members in post-test when compared to the demographic variables of family members except type of family which shows significant relationship and educational qualification which shows highly significant relationship. Conclusion: After the detailed analysis of this study shows that effective use of STM help in providing pertinent information regarding home care management of the patients with Chronic Mental Disorder was effective to improve the family member’s knowledge.

РОЛЬ МАТЕРИНСКОГО ОТНОШЕНИЯ В ФОРМИРОВАНИИ САМОПОВРЕЖДАЮЩЕГО ПОВЕДЕНИЯ У РЕБЕНКА

The problem of the role of maternal attitude for the occurrence of psychosomatic disorders and the question about the nature and causes of emotional maladaptation in children are still under discussion, in terms of the importance of the issue of children psychosomatic health and the prevalence of psychosomatic diseases. The article discusses the features of the maternal attitude when a child shows self-harming behavior and allergies of unknown origin. Children with allergies of unknown origin and self-harming behavior were included in the comparison groups due to an attempt to find a common psychological pattern between the manifestation of symptoms of unconfirmed atopic dermatitis and acts of self-harm in children. According to the results of the study, the differentiated influence of the role of the maternal attitude on the psychosomatic well-being of the child is presented. The authors state that if a child has an allergy of unknown origin, the inconsistency of the mother's actions towards the child is observed, the manifestation of hyperprotection acts as a means of controlling the mother's own anxious state. When self-harming behavior is manifested, there is a tendency of the mother to ignore the needs of the child due to a low ability to understand the reasons for child’s behavior. By means of identifying the features of the maternal relationship, the significance of early contact in the mother-child dyad in groups of mothers, whose children suffer from allergies of unknown origin or demonstrate self-harming behavior, was confirmed. The tasks of clinical and psychological support of parents bringing up children with self-harming behavior are substantiated.

Verbal behaviour as an indicator of personnel wellbeing

The article examines one of the possible applications of speech activity theory and the text psychological structure as the product of this activity to the research of personnel wellbeing. Very often, an employee’s wellbeing status is inaccessible to management. The idea is that the verbal behaviour psychological pattern can be used as an indicator of employee wellbeing status perception. The authors’ aim was to develop a text analysis model to be used for revealing the peculiarities of wellbeing perception status; to determine the most diagnostic parameters of the model; and to apply them to the personnel wellbeing assessment. The authors’ conclusions are based on analyzing numerous personnel speech samples, which show how the model functions as an instrument for measuring the real quality of wellbeing status perception and how diagnostic the proposed model parameters are. The research of speech samples, which belong to university foreign language trainers from Russia and Kazakhstan, allows us to describe a typical teacher who is not satisfied with career opportunities available, the level of salary and constant management pressure. The results of the study can be applied to practical human resource management and the development of new ways of motivating and training employees in any professional field.

Psychological Distress Among Infertility Patients: A Network Analysis.

BackgroundPsychological distress is common among infertility patients. Total scale scores are often used to represent the severity of anxiety, depression, or stress, which ignores important differences between specific symptoms, and relationships between symptoms. This study aimed to identify patterns of psychological distress experienced by infertility patients and to identify the most central symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.MethodFrom June to September 2016, 740 infertility patients were included in this cross-sectional study. Infertility patients were asked to complete the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Patients Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Fertility Problem Inventory. Network analysis was used to examine the patterns of psychological distress in infertility patients and to test the most central symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.ResultsRestlessness was the most central symptom in infertility patients. “Feelings of guilt” had the highest strength among PHQ-9 symptoms. “Relationship concern stress” and “sexual concern stress” had the strongest connections in the network. Stability estimation indicated that the order of node strength centrality was more stable than the order of closeness and betweenness (the CS-coefficients were 0.75, 0.13, and 0.67, respectively). In addition, network structure and global strength were invariant across gender.LimitationsThe cross-sectional design did not permit identification of causal relationships. Patients in this study were recruited from one reproductive hospital; especially, most patients had low socioeconomic status, which limits generalizability of the findings.ConclusionThis study reinforces the need to better understand the underlying causes of psychological distress in infertile patients. A more detailed investigation of the relationship between these symptoms could provide information for psychosocial interventions aimed beyond “alleviating psychological distress.” We should consider the individual psychological symptom pattern and its potential causes in infertility patients instead of assuming a consistent psychological distress structure.

Ki Ageng Suryomentaram’s Human Concept Analysis and Its Relevance to The Formation of Sufistic Characters

This paper discusses the human concept, which is the result of the thought of Ki Ageng Suryomentaram. The qualitative method is used in this research. Ki Ageng Suryomentaram has a concept of forming a Sufistic character, a psychological pattern of thought, and a philosophical nature found in the treasures of Javanese wisdom. The science that he introduced was called the human concept, which has three basic things about morals. His ideas always have a characteristic Javanese style. That is, they can provide philosophical thought simply and practically. Globalization is very influential in modern life. The effect can be positive or negative. The positive effect of globalization is that it makes life easier and has a negative impact related to the human mentality. Humans cannot appreciate and interpret themselves as humans. Globalization also raises a new problem in society, one of which is moral decadence. Moral decadence is a phenomenon of moral decline in a person, which means that individuals and groups have disobeyed the rules and procedures that apply in society. This paper will describe and analyze his thoughts on Human Concept and find out the relevance with the values and attitudes that result from formation of sufistic characters.

Investigating Psychological Differences Between Nurses and Other Health Care Workers From the Asia-Pacific Region During the Early Phase of COVID-19: Machine Learning Approach.

BackgroundAs the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, challenges in frontline work continue to impose a significant psychological impact on nurses. However, there is a lack of data on how nurses fared compared to other health care workers in the Asia-Pacific region.ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate (1) the psychological outcome characteristics of nurses in different Asia-Pacific countries and (2) psychological differences between nurses, doctors, and nonmedical health care workers.MethodsExploratory data analysis and visualization were conducted on the data collected through surveys. A machine learning modeling approach was adopted to further discern the key psychological characteristics differentiating nurses from other health care workers. Decision tree–based machine learning models (Light Gradient Boosting Machine, GradientBoost, and RandomForest) were built to predict whether a set of psychological distress characteristics (ie, depression, anxiety, stress, intrusion, avoidance, and hyperarousal) belong to a nurse. Shapley Additive Explanation (SHAP) values were extracted to identify the prominent characteristics of each of these models. The common prominent characteristic among these models is akin to the most distinctive psychological characteristic that differentiates nurses from other health care workers.ResultsNurses had relatively higher percentages of having normal or unchanged psychological distress symptoms relative to other health care workers (n=233-260 [86.0%-95.9%] vs n=187-199 [74.8%-91.7%]). Among those without psychological symptoms, nurses constituted a higher proportion than doctors and nonmedical health care workers (n=194 [40.2%], n=142 [29.5%], and n=146 [30.3%], respectively). Nurses in Vietnam showed the highest level of depression, stress, intrusion, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptoms compared to those in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Nurses in Singapore had the highest level of anxiety. In addition, nurses had the lowest level of stress, which is the most distinctive psychological outcome characteristic derived from machine learning models, compared to other health care workers. Data for India were excluded from the analysis due to the differing psychological response pattern observed in nurses in India. A large number of female nurses emigrating from South India could not have psychologically coped well without the support from family members while living alone in other states.ConclusionsNurses were least psychologically affected compared to doctors and other health care workers. Different contexts, cultures, and points in the pandemic curve may have contributed to differing patterns of psychological outcomes amongst nurses in various Asia-Pacific countries. It is important that all health care workers practice self-care and render peer support to bolster psychological resilience for effective coping. In addition, this study also demonstrated the potential use of decision tree–based machine learning models and SHAP value plots in identifying contributing factors of sophisticated problems in the health care industry.

Spatial-Frequency Redistribution-based Saliency Region Detection for Thai Text Localisation

Saliency region detection plays an important role in computer vision applications and related areas, such as human fixation, figure-ground separation, face detection, and image compression. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art methods can moderately detect the saliency regions of a psychological pattern dataset. Therefore, this paper proposes a spatial-frequency redistribution (SFR) method to improve the efficiency of the detection of the saliency regions. The proposed SFR method consists of two main procedures: (i) adaptive cosine image construction-and-implantation and (ii) saliency region detection using complete multiple-object-implanted images. The former procedure constructs an adaptive cosine image by using a cosine function based on an object structure and then individually implants it into each object detectable. This stage provides the first significant property, spatial redistribution, to the object implanted. The adaptive cosine image redistributes the objects for controllability. Then, the latter procedure transforms a complete multiple object-implanted image into the frequency domain. At this point, the second significant property, frequency redistribution, provides the simple technique for identifying and separating the target object from the unwanted objects and background. In this paper, these properties are referred to as spatial-frequency redistribution. This method was realized as a computer program, and then such program was tested with a psychological pattern dataset and a Thai text dataset. The experimental results, when compared with state-of-the-art methods, show that the proposed SFR method can achieve the clear detection of the attention region in the psychological pattern dataset. Moreover, the proposed method can achieve a F-value of 80.28% with a recall and precision of 76.32% and 85.23%, respectively, for Thai text localisation in the Thai text dataset.
