- The COVID-19 pandemic caused drastic social changes for many people, including separation from friends and coworkers, enforced close contact with family, and reductions in mobility. Here we assess the extent to which people's evolutionarily-relevant basic motivations and goals—fundamental social motives such as Affiliation and Kin Care—might have been affected. To address this question, we gathered data on fundamental social motives in 42 countries (N = 15,915) across two waves, including 19 countries (N = 10,907) for which data were gathered both before and during the pandemic (pre-pandemic wave: 32 countries, N = 8998; 3302 male, 5585 female; Mage = 24.43, SD = 7.91; mid-pandemic wave: 29 countries, N = 6917; 2249 male, 4218 female; Mage = 28.59, SD = 11.31). Samples include data collected online (e.g., Prolific, MTurk), at universities, and via community sampling. We found that Disease Avoidance motivation was substantially higher during the pandemic, and that most of the other fundamental social motives showed small, yet significant, differences across waves. Most sensibly, concern with caring for one's children was higher during the pandemic, and concerns with Mate Seeking and Status were lower. Earlier findings showing the prioritization of family motives over mating motives (and even over Disease Avoidance motives) were replicated during the pandemic. Finally, well-being remained positively associated with family-related motives and negatively associated with mating motives during the pandemic, as in the pre-pandemic samples. Our results provide further evidence for the robust primacy of family-related motivations even during this unique disruption of social life.

- Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI) is a noninvasive test to analyze several medical ailments by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect the abnormalities in the active part of the brain and evaluate the minute changes in the blood flow, which cannot otherwise be accomplished with other imaging techniques. With its vast applications in healthcare, it has become one of the most explored studies by the researcher’s community, therefore, the current paper aims to address a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) of the application of FMRI in healthcare. The SLR scrutinized and assessed the currently available literature using inclusion and exclusion criteria. The chief motive of conducting SLR on the current research was to eradicate the biases and make it more systematic as compared to the informal literature review. The outcomes of the review state that due to accessibility of the public datasets and the data augmentation practices, the application of FMRI in Healthcare has remarkably raised from the last five years and its application is practically available for every disease diagnosis. The performance of the diagnosis of the disease is more effectual and proficient as equal to the human experts performing it manually.

- How does psychology vary across human societies? The fundamental social motives framework adopts an evolutionary approach to capture the broad range of human social goals within a taxonomy of ancestrally recurring threats and opportunities. These motives-self-protection, disease avoidance, affiliation, status, mate acquisition, mate retention, and kin care-are high in fitness relevance and everyday salience, yet understudied cross-culturally. Here, we gathered data on these motives in 42 countries (N = 15,915) in two cross-sectional waves, including 19 countries (N = 10,907) for which data were gathered in both waves. Wave 1 was collected from mid-2016 through late 2019 (32 countries, N = 8,998; 3,302 male, 5,585 female; M-age = 24.43, SD = 7.91). Wave 2 was collected from April through November 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic (29 countries, N = 6,917; 2,249 male, 4,218 female; M-age = 28.59, SD = 11.31). These data can be used to assess differences and similarities in people's fundamental social motives both across and within cultures, at different time points, and in relation to other commonly studied cultural indicators and outcomes.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Smart Bowtie array antenna technology is a recently developed one, aiming to provide UWB solutions to antennas in 5G mmWave access and backhauling systems. This technology enables the simultaneous multiple beams with large beam scan angles and tracking ability, with high gain and high antenna efficiency over an ultra-wideband (UWB) at low manufacturing cost. This paper will presents several designs to show the features and characteristics of the technology.
