Various factors can impact the level to which people conform to other?s. An important, yet unanswered question is how emotions could influence conformity levels. We predicted that specific emotions, which embody an underlying appraisal of uncertainty about the world, would lead people to feel more uncertain and subsequently more susceptible to others? influence. To test this hypothesis, participants (N = 78) induced to feel sad, happy or angry had to perform a highly ambiguous numeric estimation task. In half of the trials, participants were presented with additional estimates ostensibly provided by three other individuals, and were left free to use or disregard them when completing the task. As expected, participants in the sadness condition (an emotion associated with a low certainty appraisal) showed more conformity than those in the anger or happiness conditions (emotions associated with a high certainty appraisal). Taken together, our findings suggest that being in an emotional state characterized by uncertainty can increase people?s sensitivity to others? informational influences resulting in a higher level of conformity.

Multidrug resistance is a global healthcare problem. Gram-negative organisms, particularly Enterobacteriaceae strains are responsible for almost 60% of nosocomial infections. Colistin acts as the last treatment resort in complicated, critical, and MDR cases; also become resistant in the last few years in an escalating manner. Its resistance has been reported almost all over the world. Since there is no alternative antibiotic of colistin-resistant isolates is available. The last year of 2020 was completely engaged with the Covid-19 pandemic for global healthcare systems. This issue is still persisting with no solution. Strict infection control policies and a noval antibiotic with lesser side effects are great in demand to resolve this issue. We gathered 28 studies from 2010 that reported colistin resistance among Enterobacteriaceae throughout the world. Colistin resistance still reported and escalated globally with no available solution. Asia was the leading region with 50% of selected studies followed by Europe and Klebsiella pneumonia and Klebsiella species were the leading organisms of colistin resistance among Enterobacteriaceae. This mini-review was designed to highlight the global importance of colistin-resistant isolates among Enterobacteriaceae, which still an unanswered question.

The Subject

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the lexical and stylistic markers of anger in Mongolian folklore, texts and to how frequent that emotional phenomenon is for the studied narratives. The object of the study is the lexical and stylistic markers of anger in Mongolian folklore narratives. The subject of the study are the words that denote the manifestations of anger in the characters of the folklore texts; who and in what situations utters them. There can be different meanings that are hidden behind the lexical and stylistic marker of anger in the narrative. The analysis of communicative situations may allow to make assumptions about the nature of the world picture of the actors in Mongolian folklore and to formulate a hypothesis about the reasons for the existence of an emotional state in one way or another.

It is knowledge and emotion that haunt human society. From the day the world appeared until the day the world ended, knowledge and emotion existed. According to Thiruvalluvar, knowledge that calms the emotion in his kural. Meyppatu are manifestations of mental consciousness. Tholkkappiyar has numbered the emotions that appear in the human mind in his epic Tholkkappiyam in Chapter Porulathigaaram. He has analyzed the emotions that appear within him in a way that others can know and understand very accurately (Meyppatu). They are eight types of emotions that apply to all human beings in the world. Meyppatu are the expression of human instincts. This dissertation aims to find out how the poetic enlightenment has been manipulated in the poetic epistemology of the numerical facts stated in the economics of Tholkappiam the fact of the matter is that consciousness is an emotional state that paves the way for human happiness. Any living being born into the world wants to be happy. Therefore, the researcher has used the poems of Arivumathi to prove this fact.

The Subject

The subject of this research is the quatrains – a variety of lyrical songs, one of widespread and popular poetic genres in the folklore of the peoples of Dagestan. The object of this research is the method of artistic parallelism in Dargin quatrains, which plays an important compositional role within the text structure, which is reflected in juxtaposition of images from the natural world and the psychological affections of the lyrical hero. The goal of this article lies in demonstrating the functional peculiarities of artistic parallelism technique in each particular case; as well as in determining the basic principle of juxtaposition of the images of nature with the world of human feelings and degree of their convergence, which reveals the emotional state of a person. The research methods of comparative-historical and philological analysis of the lyrical songs are based on the ideas advanced by V. G. Belinsky, A. N. Veselovsky, A. M. Novikova, S. G. Lazutin, Y. M. Sokolov, and others. The method of analysis allows determining the role of artistic parallelism in conveying the emotional state of the heroes. The novelty[WU1]  of this research consists in comprehensive analysis of the structure and content of texts that are structured on the technique artistic parallelism; identification of the peculiarities of its application on the material of Dargin song lyrics, which have not been previously introduced into the scientific discourse. The author demonstrates that the technique of artistic parallelism carries a vast ideological meaning, performs an important compositional function in disclosure of the content of the song, contributing to a vivid and imagery expression of thoughts and feelings of the hero. The article is first to explore the commonly used in Dargin folklore technique of artistic parallelism, when a single principle of syntactic construction is characteristic for two quatrains of the same theme. It is established that the idea laid down in the first quatrain is being further developed, enriching its content and acquiring new details that enhance the emotional perception of the poetic expression.  [WU1]

AbstractProminent theories suggest that symptoms of schizophrenia stem from learning deficiencies resulting in distorted internal models of the world. To further test these theories, we here use a visual statistical learning task known to induce rapid implicit learning of the stimulus statistics (Chalk et al., 2010). In this task, participants are presented with a field of coherently moving dots and need to report the presented direction of the dots (estimation task) and whether they saw any dots or not (detection task). Two of the directions were more frequently presented than the others. In controls, the implicit acquisition of the stimuli statistics influences their perception in two ways: 1-motion directions are perceived as being more similar to the most frequently presented directions than they really are (estimation biases); 2-in the absence of stimuli, participants sometimes report perceiving the most frequently presented directions (a form of hallucinations). Such behaviour is consistent with probabilistic inference, i.e. combining learnt perceptual priors with sensory evidence. We investigated whether patients with chronic, stable, treated schizophrenia (n=20) differ from controls (n=23) in the acquisition of the perceptual priors and/or their influence on perception. We found that, although patients were slower than controls, they showed comparable acquisition of perceptual priors, correctly approximating the stimulus statistics. This suggests that patients have no statistical learning deficits in our task. This may reflect our patients relative wellbeing on antipsychotic medication. Intriguingly, however, patients made significantly fewer hallucinations of the most frequently presented directions than controls and fewer prior-based lapse estimations. This suggests that prior expectations had less influence on patients’ perception than on controls when stimuli were absent or below perceptual threshold.

The subject matter of the present paper is the linguo - stylistic and psychological analysis of Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So Stories” as emotional means to motivate children to study English as a foreign language. “Just So Stories” are tales for children, where the author tells how the world, surrounding the child, was created, why everything in this world is “just so”, answers the questions that children like to ask so much: “what and why and when and how and where and who?” For children, who are not adapted to studying, and who achieve information with the help of games, fairy tales in general and Kipling’s “Just so stories” in particular serve as a ground for not only developing the intellect, sense of humor and imagination of children, but also take away all boundaries in perceiving information in a foreign language and enhance interest towards the origin of familiar and unusual things. The knowledge, contained in tales is inmost and conveys great information about animals, people, the world they live in and the interrelation of everything in life. Fairy tales develop not only the imagination of children but also establish some kind of bridge between the fantasy and the real life. Fairy tale reading attracts children, increases the motivation of learning a foreign language. Tale has an impact on children’s emotional state: it reduces anxiety, fear and confusion and gives food for perception, empathy and communication with favorite heroes, creates a fairy atmosphere full of enthusiasm and joy. The importance of the fact that all "just so stories" end with a poem cannot be underestimated. Firstly, poems and chants are short, emotionally colored and easy to remember. Secondly, poetic texts are great materials for practicing rhythm, intonation of a foreign speech and for improving the pronunciation. And thirdly, multiple repetitions of foreign words and word combinations with the help of poems do not seem artificial. Accordingly, the use of poetry contributes to the development of different language skills, like reading, listening and speaking.

Intriguingly, however, patients experienced significantly fewer (P = 0.016) hallucinations of the most frequently presented directions than controls when the stimulus was absent or when it was very weak (prior-based lapse estimations). This suggests that prior expectations had less influence on patients’ perception than on controls when stimuli were absent or below perceptual threshold.

Emotional Condition

Similar to many other countries in the world, the elderly population in Taiwan is now growing rapidly. Some older adults are found to have difficulty controlling their emotion, which may later develop into psychological diseases such as anxiety disorder. Therefore, emotional control is an important issue for elderly citizens. This study proposed a wearable biofeedback emotional control device, FeelVest, which integrates electrocardiography acquisition with heart rate variability analyzing techniques to detect user’s emotion. When a user is nervous and unstable, FeelVest would analyze the emotional state of the user. If the user’s emotional condition is judged as abnormal, the control module would remind the user to relax through vocal notification, or broadcast relaxation melodies to ease the user’s nerve. With this vest, older adults are able to monitor and regulate their own emotion and have a healthier life style.
