Paging Dr. JARVIS! Will people accept advice from artificial intelligence for consequential risk management decisions?

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI), a branch of computer science based upon algorithms that can analyze data and make decisions autonomously, is becoming increasingly prevalent in the technology that powers modern society. Relatively little research has examined how humans modify their judgments in response to their interactions with AI. Our research explores how people respond to different types of risk management advice received from AI vs. a human expert in two contexts where AI is commonly deployed: medicine and finance. Through online studies with representative samples of Americans, we first find that participants generally prefer to receive medical and financial risk management advice from humans over AI. In two follow-up studies, we presented participants with a hypothetical medical or financial risk and asked them to make an initial decision—to address the risk immediately or to wait for more information—and to rate their confidence in this decision. Next, participants were informed that either a human expert or AI had analyzed their case and recommended either immediate risk management action or a wait-and-see approach. Participant then made a final decision using the same response scale as before. We compared participants’ initial and final decisions, examining the extent to which participants updated their decisions upon receiving their recommendation as a function of the recommendation itself and its source. We find that participants updated their decisions to a greater degree in response to recommendations from human experts as compared to AI, but the magnitude of this effect differed by context.

Restoring ecosystems and eating them too: guidance from agroecology for sustainability

Ecological restoration evaluation has historically focused on biophysical indicators, particularly in North America, with less attention for sociocultural and economic factors, undermining efforts' long‐term sustainability. Restoration projects should more regularly incorporate cultural and provisioning ecosystem services to offer local stakeholders tangible benefits (e.g. contributing to food security and sovereignty), thereby promoting participation in restoration efforts and long‐term environmental stewardship. While the principles of agroecology and ecological restoration have much in common, their differences can be instructional and inspirational to each other. Rather than be an apolitical tool for land management, restoration could, like agroecology, amplify its impact through collaboration with adjacent social movements that share common goals, such as addressing the root causes of environmental degradation and promoting socioeconomic justice. The manner in which ecosystems are restored is as important as the resulting systems; as agroecology guides, projects should minimize nonrenewable inputs and reliance on socioeconomic systems at the root of the environmental degradation. We articulate agroecological restoration (AER) in a novel set of formalized principles, which take a socioecological view of environmental degradation and social disruption as inextricably interrelated issues. We offer case studies illustrating how AER can help restore both the land and our relationship to the land, thereby promoting the health and cohesion of human and ecological communities. Finally, we identify opportunities for overcoming inevitable challenges for growing an agroecological restoration framework that could amplify project impacts in the current United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
Public Financial Management and Fiscal Performance: Evidence from Panel Data Analyses

ABSTRACT This paper attempts to assess the impact of the practical public financial management (PFM) dimensions on fiscal performance in 86 countries observed between 2005 and 2019. Based on augmented panel data models, we conclude that internal audit and the availability of information on resources received by service delivery units contribute to improve fiscal performance, proxied by the primary fiscal balance. These results are confirmed by instrumental variable (IV) estimations. Additional analyses show that an increase in the quality of the classification of the budget and the transparency of inter-governmental fiscal relations do significantly improve the overall fiscal balance. These findings strengthen the need for PFM reforms to restore fiscal sustainability.
Freeplaying with narrative: A Jogando method in/as Capoeira research

In this article, we rethink the ways that analysis within narrative research might occur based on the topic being studied and provide an example using the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira. Locating our work at the intersection of Derridean freeplay and the spirit of play present in the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira, we reconceive of the ways that narratives may be constructed, and suggest that the topic under study, capoeira, may actually become an analytic. This piece offers one of many potential directions for rethinking analysis of narrative data and representing participant experiences and suggests blurring lines between content and method of analysis. While our own analysis occurs using play as it appears in capoeira, we suggest that any number of research topics may be used to inform the ways that we analyze data.
The optimal application of empathy interventions to reduce antisocial behaviour and crime: a review of the literature

ABSTRACT In recent decades, the relationship between weak empathy and the development of antisocial and offending behaviours has been well established. In the first review of its kind, this paper outlines the current implementation of empathy intervention programmes in a variety of disciplines. This paper will identify some key agents that are instrumental in empathy development and build a case to suggest that where such traditional sources of empathy development are inadequate, interventions are crucial to bridge the gap. To date, the few offender empathy interventions that have been implemented and assessed heed mixed results by crime type, sample type, gender, and empathy type. Novel, evidence-led recommendations will be made in relation to the timing, content, format, length, and location of future interventions, and the importance of the consideration of baseline empathy and individual differences will be outlined. Deficient empathy must be of central concern to criminal justice agencies and identified and addressed from infancy and throughout the life course. By using a combination of universal programmes with general populations and specific offender-targeted programmes, a holistic approach can be achieved.
Influence of Storage Conditions on the Stability of Vitamin D3 and Kinetic Study of the Vitamin Degradation in Fortified Canola Oil during the Storage

Nowadays, fortified vegetable oils with vitamin D3 are widely available in different countries. In this study, the influence of storage conditions including light, air, storage temperature, and time on vitamin D3 retention in fortified canola oil was evaluated. Moreover, a kinetic study on vitamin D3 degradation in the oil was done. To this aim, fortified canola oil was prepared at two initial concentrations of 6.87 mg·kg−1 and 13.8 mg·kg−1 and then filled in transparent and dark-brown polyethylene terephthalate bottles at two filling levels of 50% and 100%. Samples were kept in two temperatures of 4°C and room temperature (27°C). The retention of vitamin D3 in different samples showed that the vitamin content was affected by the packaging type, storage temperature, and initial concentration. Vitamin D3 in the samples with a lower concentration of the vitamin which was stored in the refrigerator showed the highest retention (91%) after 70 days of storage, and the samples with higher initial concentration packed in transparent containers which were stored at room temperature (RT) showed the greatest loss (55.6%). Results of the kinetic study also showed that vitamin D3 was affected by storage condition. The half-life of the vitamin D3 differed from 96 to 577 days depending on the storage condition.
Knowledge of danger signs during pregnancy and health seeking behaviours among women attending antenatal care; the case of two referral hospitals in Southwest Cameroon

Background: Danger signs of pregnancy are alerts of obstetric complications which commonly occur from mid to late pregnancy and can lead to maternal and/or fetal morbidity/mortality if appropriate care is not sort in a timely manner. Delay in seeking care is one of the key factors leading to maternal death, which can be associated with poor knowledge on obstetric danger signs. In Cameroon, published data on the assessment of knowledge of danger signs in pregnancy is rare, despite the burden of maternal morbidity and mortality. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of danger signs during pregnancy and health care seeking behaviours among women attending antenatal care at the Buea and Limbe Regional Hospitals, Cameroon. Methods: This was a hospital based, cross sectional study, conducted at the Antenatal Care unit of Buea and Limbe Regional Hospitals from 24th February 2020 to 24th May 2020. Convenient sampling was used to recruit participants, and data was collected using a structured questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions. Data analysis was done using SPSS Version 25. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. Statistical significance was set at a 95% CI, with a P-value < 0.05. Results: A total of 400 pregnant women were enrolled in study, 117(29.3%) had experienced danger signs during pregnancy and reported the healthcare seeking behaviours after recognizing the danger sign. Among those who recognized danger signs, majority 91(77.8%) visited a healthcare facility. Almost two-thirds 246(61.5%) of respondents had poor knowledge of danger signs. The most commonly mentioned danger sign was vaginal bleeding 257(64.25%). Women who were older than 19 years (AOR=3.96; 95%CI: 2.8-4.1, P=0.006), and women who attended at least high school (AOR=3.02; 95%CI: 1.7-5.3), P= 0.001) were associated with good knowledge of danger signs. Conclusion: Knowledge of danger signs during pregnant was poor among antenatal care attendees in both hospitals. Age older than 19 years and at least high school attendance was associated with good knowledge. Also, women took appropriate healthcare seeking actions after recognizing danger signs during pregnancy. Thus, intervention programs aiming to improve women’s knowledge on pregnancy danger signs should be intensified during antenatal care visits.
Indoor landmark selection for route communication: the influence of route-givers’ social roles and receivers’ familiarity with the environment

ABSTRACT When conveying information about routes to follow in complex environments, human route-givers adapt to route-receivers’ familiarity with the environments in their choice of landmarks. Meanwhile, as route-givers themselves have experienced the environments within a social role, the landmarks they select may also differ significantly. This research investigated how these two factors influence landmark selection when communicating routes in indoor environments. Two groups of participants were recruited to conduct indoor landmark selection experiments for familiar and unfamiliar route-receivers in a multi-functional university building. The results show an interaction effect between these factors in indoor landmark selection. These findings lay an empirical ground for developing human-centered mobile navigation systems that can adapt to users’ social roles and their familiarity with the environment.
How Attributes of Green Advertising Affect Purchase Intention: The Moderating Role of Consumer Innovativeness

Although the importance of green advertising has increased, there is still little research in terms of attributes of green advertising. The purpose of our study was to investigate the relationship between attributes of green advertising and purchase intention when moderated by consumer innovativeness. After collecting data from consumers in South Korea, we analyzed 200 usable surveys in structural equation modeling. The analysis revealed positive relationships between three attributes of green advertising (i.e., attractiveness, informativity, and reliability) and purchase intention and identified the moderating role of consumer innovativeness in those relationships. Our findings have implications for marketing, especially for the development of green advertising strategies.
The Association Between Gratitude, Perceived Stress, and Burnout Among Firefighters in Jakarta

Perceived stress and burnout are often found in workers who have heavy jobs, one of which is a firefighter. Perceived stress and burnout could disrupt physical health. Firefighters should have good physical health because their work is quite tough, therefore to maintain physical health, firefighters could overcome the perceived stress and burnout through gratitude. This study aims to see the association between gratitude, perceived stress and burnout among firefighters in Jakarta. The subjects of this study were firefighters in East Jakarta. This research was conducted in August 2020. Participation in this study was conducted on 75 people. The method used in this research is a quantitative method using linear correlation techniques. The results of the study found that there was no relationship between gratitude, perceived stress and burnout in firefighters in East Jakarta.
Moderator Role of Social Support in Relationship Between Social Comparison and Life Satisfaction of Instagram Users

This study aims to examine the moderator role of social support in the relationship between social comparison and life satisfaction of Instagram users. Data was conducted in November 2020 and involved 402 Instagram users with age ranges from 18 – 34 years old. The result in this study showed that social support has significant role (t = 2.224, p<0.05) in moderating the relationship between social comparison and life satisfaction of Instagram users, in which social support could enhance the relationship between social comparison and life satisfaction of Instagram users.
An optimization method to design a skip–stop pattern for renovating operation schemes in urban railways

ABSTRACT This study deals with an optimization problem to design an A/B skip–stop pattern (A/B SSP) to renovate operation schemes in urban railways. The A/B SSP is especially useful for urban railways since the renovation does not require a restructuring of infrastructure. The renovation improves passengers’ travel time along with lost passengers owing to selective stops. This study aims to achieve two goals that are minimizing the lost passengers and the travel time during the renovation. To this end, we first present a mathematical model based on a network flow model. The model explicitly maximizes transportation volume and implicitly controls the travel time by the number of stop stations under operational constraints. As the model size is huge for railways in practice, we also propose a two-step approach to solve the model efficiently. The performance of the two-step approach is verified based on practical and virtual instances.
The Role of Gratitude on Well-Being Among College Students Who Are Working Undergraduate Thesis

As one of the requirements for obtaining a bachelor’s degree, college students are required to make an undergraduate thesis. There are many challenges and obstacles that college students must face that will affect their well-being. However, it does not prevent college students for completing their undergraduate thesis. This is due to the gratitude response in the undergraduate thesis process. Thus, this study aims to investigate the role of gratitude on well-being among college students who are working on their undergraduate thesis. Researchers hypothesize that individuals who have high gratitude will tend to have high well-being as well. This research was conducted on the 388 final-year college students aged 21-25 years who are currently pursuing higher education at universities in Jakarta. This research used a cross-sectional quantitative method with the sampling techniques using purposive sampling and convenience sampling. Data was collected through online self-reportbased questionnaires about gratitude and well-being. From the research that has been conducted, it was found that 70.4% were women, 62.4% were 21 years, and 83% were in 7 semester. Through simple linear regression test, it was found that gratitude contributed 38.4% to well-being (p = 0, 00 <0.05) and a factor that has a greater role on well-being is the appreciation of constant life experiences. Based on the multiple linear regression test, it was found that the appreciation factor for constant life experiences has a greater role in positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, accomplishment, health, and overall well-being. Meanwhile, the appreciation of all aspects and parts of life has a bigger role in negative emotions and loneliness.
Analysis on Fundamental of Macroeconomy Factors on Banking Performance and its Implications to Third Party Funds: A Case Study of Indonesia

This study aimed to describe fundamental of macroeconomy, performance of banking and third party funds, analyze impact of fundamental of macroeconomy on bank performance, analyze effect of bank performance to deposit, analyze impact of fundamental of macroeconomy to deposit also analyze effect of fundamental of macroeconomy of third party funds through banking performance. The type of this research is descriptive explanatory that describe causality through hypothesis testing. This study uses 4 banks for 11 years (series) i.e. 2004 to 2014, with combined model of data obtained as many as 132. The analysis technique used is descriptive analysis and Analysis of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that fundamental of macroeconomy affect bank performance; it does show that every event relating to inflation and BI rate in the real sector will affect banks' performance. Performance of banking industry affects third-party funds. In conditions, interest rates rise, it will suppress growth of third party funds (including assets) of banks, and vice versa if interest rates experienced a declining trend, bank deposits will increase. Fundamental of macroeconomy affect third-party funds.
Species Interactions Limit the Predictability of Community Responses to Environmental Change

Predicting how ecological communities will respond to environmental change is challenging but highly relevant in this era of global change. Ecologists commonly use current spatial relationships between species and environmental conditions to make predictions about the future. This assumes that species will track conditions by shifting their distributions. However, theory and experimental evidence suggest that species interactions prevent communities from predictably tracking temporal changes in environmental conditions on the basis of current spatial relationships between species and environmental gradients. We tested this hypothesis by assessing the dynamics of protist species in replicated two-patch microcosm landscapes that experienced different regimes of spatial and temporal environmental heterogeneity (light vs. dark). Populations were kept in monocultures or polycultures to assess the effect of species interactions. In monocultures, abundances were predictable on the basis of current environmental conditions, regardless of whether the populations had experienced temporal environmental change. But in polycultures, abundances also depended on the history of the environmental conditions experienced. This suggests that because of species interactions, communities should respond differently to spatial versus temporal environmental changes. Thus, species interactions likely reduce the accuracy of predictions about future communities that are based on current spatial relationships between species and the environment.
Kinetic Approach to the Mechanism of the Redox Reaction of Ethylenediaminetetraacetatoferrate(III) Complex and Thioglycolic Acid in Bicarbonate Buffer Medium

The kinetic approach of the reduction of by an ethylenediaminetetraacetatoferrate(III) complex (hereafter [Fe(III)EDTA] - ) by thioglycolic acid (hereafter TSH) in bicarbonate buffer medium have been studied under the following conditions: T = 28 ± 1 o C, Ionic Strength, I = 0.2 mol dm -3 (KNO 3 ), pH = 7.5 and λ max = 470 nm . The ratio from the stoichiometric study conforms to the equation 2[Fe(III)EDTA] - + 2TSH → 2[Fe(II)EDTA] 2- + TSST + 2H + . The reaction rate varied linearly to the first power of the concentrations of the oxidant and reductant and displayed dependence on pH of the reaction medium. The reaction was sensitive to the change in ionic strength of the medium suggesting an interaction of charged species at the activated complex. The Michaelis-Menten plot of 1/k obs versus 1/[TSH] was linear with zero intercepts which suggested an absence of intermediate complex. Pieces of evidences in this paper showed that the reaction occurred via the outer-sphere mechanism.
Towards Optimal pH of the Skin and Topical Formulations: From the Current State of the Art to Tailored Products

Acidic pH of the skin surface has been recognized as a regulating factor for the maintenance of the stratum corneum homeostasis and barrier permeability. The most important functions of acidic pH seem to be related to the keratinocyte differentiation process, the formation and function of epidermal lipids and the corneocyte lipid envelope, the maintenance of the skin microbiome and, consequently, skin disturbances and diseases. As acknowledged extrinsic factors that affect skin pH, topically applied products could contribute to skin health maintenance via skin pH value control. The obtained knowledge on skins’ pH could be used in the formulation of more effective topical products, which would add to the development of the so-called products ‘for skin health maintenance’. There is a high level of agreement that topical products should be acidified and possess pH in the range of 4 to 6. However, formulators, dermatologists and consumers would benefit from some more precise guidance concerning favorable products pH values and the selection of cosmetic ingredients which could be responsible for acidification, together with a more extensive understanding of the mechanisms underlaying the process of skin acidification by topical products.
