REFLECTIONS ON THE BUSINESS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MODEL UNDER THE ECONOMIC TRANSITION IN VIET NAM
Authors: Mai Nhat Chi
Published: May 2022

At this stage, my country is in an important period of economic transformation, and the development of the commercial economy has also achieved very significant results. Economic transformation can provide a clear direction and goal for the development of the commercial economy, and can well integrate the development characteristics of the commercial economy. Under the conditions of economic transformation, we need to constantly innovate the business economic development model, to better improve the development level of the business economy. By analyzing the concept of economic transformation, this paper discusses in depth the economic transformation under the conditions of realizing the effective and innovative mode and path of commercial economic development.
Rhythmic Alternation and the Structure of US Place Names
Authors: Kelly Michael Hugh
Published: May 2022

Naming patterns are sometimes attributed to the “euphony” they create. But what specific phonological characteristics contribute to euphony? The research reported in this paper identifies one such characteristic: a rhythmic preference for alternating strong and weak beats. Focusing on US place names in which “lake” was either preceded or followed by a disyllabic word, Study 1 showed that the incidence of iambic relative to trochaic words was higher in “Lake X” than “X Lake” place names. Rhythmic alternation predicts this pattern since names like “Lake Cascade” preserve rhythmic alternation whereas those like “Cascade Lake” create a clash between two stressed syllables. For the same reason, when “lake” is accompanied by trochaic words the reverse “X Lake” structure is favored. Study 2 extended the analysis to “Mount X” versus “X Mountain” place names, demonstrating greater incidence of iambic words in “Mount X” structures in which rhythmic alternation is preserved. Study 3 generalized the investigation to within-word contexts, focusing on the likelihood of monosyllabic versus trochaic disyllabic stems before the “-ton” or “-town” suffix indicating a habitation. The incidence of monosyllabic words was higher in place names ending in “-ton” than “-town” consistent with a preference for rhythmic alternation. Results reinforce rhythmic alternation as a fundamental characteristic of English prosody which manifests itself in diverse areas. Other potential factors that could contribute to name euphony are discussed.

Repetition could increase the perceived truth of conspiracy theories
Authors: Béna Jérémy , Rihet Mathias , Carreras Ophélie , Terrier Patrice
Published: May 2022

Conspiracy theories can be repeatedly encountered, which raises the issue of the effect of their repeated exposure on beliefs. Earlier studies found that repetition increases truth judgments of factual statements, whether they are uncertain, highly implausible, or fake news, for instance. Would this “truth effect” be observed with conspiracy statements? If so, is the effect size smaller than the typical truth effect, and is it associated with individual differences such as cognitive style and conspiracy mentality? In the present preregistered study, we addressed these three issues. We asked participants to provide binary truth judgments to conspiracy and factual statements already displayed in an exposure phase (an interest judgment task) or new (displayed only in the truth judgment task). We measured participants’ cognitive style with the 3-item Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT), and conspiracy mentality with the Conspiracy Mentality Questionnaire (CMQ). We found that repetition increased truth judgments of conspiracy theories, unmoderated by cognitive style and conspiracy mentality. The truth effect was smaller with conspiracy theories than with uncertain factual statements. The results suggest that repetition may be a simple way to increase belief in conspiracy theories. Whether repetition increases conspiracy beliefs in natural settings and how it contributes to conspiracism compared to other factors are important questions for future research.
Cultural Consensus Theory for Two-Dimensional Location Judgments
Authors: Mayer Maren , Heck Daniel W.
Published: May 2022

Cultural consensus theory is a model-based approach for analyzing responses of informants when correct answers are unknown. The model provides aggregate estimates of the latent consensus knowledge at the group level while accounting for heterogeneity in informant competence and item difficulty. We develop a new version of cultural consensus theory for two-dimensional continuous judgments which are obtained when asking informants to locate a set of unknown sites on a geographic map. The new model is fitted using hierarchical Bayesian modeling. A simulation study shows satisfactory parameter recovery for realistic numbers of informants and items. We also assess the accuracy of the aggregate location estimates by comparing the new model against simply computing the unweighted average of the informants’ judgments. A simulation study shows that, due to weighing judgments by the inferred competence of the informants, cultural consensus theory provides more accurate location estimates than unweighted averaging. The new model also showed a higher accuracy in an empirical study in which individuals judged the location of 57 European cities on maps.
Cross-cultural datasets systematically underestimate the presence of moralizing gods in small-scale societies
Authors: Lightner Aaron , Bendixen Theiss , Purzycki Benjamin Grant
Published: May 2022

Evolutionary theories of religion frequently assume that the presence of moralizing gods is positively associated with social complexity. An influential source of evidence for this assumption is the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample (SCCS), which uses the moralizing high gods variable to measure the outcome of interest (the presence of moralizing gods). In this paper, we critically assess the assumption that moralizing gods are associated with complex societies. We start by discussing the high god variable’s coding criteria, which is largely defined by a theoretically irrelevant criterion: whether or not a god is a creator deity, regardless of its power or omniscience. We then show why, based on its coding criteria, the SCCS underestimates the presence of moralizing gods by systematically producing false negatives – coding moralizing gods as present because moralizing high gods are absent. We use datasets that include both moralizing gods and moralizing high gods to show that these false negatives are more frequent among lower levels of social complexity, strongly favoring a spurious positive association between social complexity and the presence of moralizing gods. We then show that this bias is likely strengthened by the ethnographic data and historical context from which the SCCS data were generated. We therefore question the widely assumed positive association between morally punitive gods and social complexity, and conclude that ethnographic evidence supports the prevalence of moralizing gods among small-scale societies.
“Doctors” or “Influencers”? Physicians’ Presentation of Self in Health Vlogs
Authors: Atef Noha , Fleerackers Alice , Alperin Juan Pablo
Published: May 2022

Despite growing interest in doctors’ use of social media, little is known about how medical professionals want to appear before online audiences. This multi-method qualitative study fills this gap by analyzing the self-presentation of 12 Egyptian medical doctors who create health-related video content (vlogs) on social media. We pair in-depth interview and focus groups data with a critical discourse analysis of 48 vlogs to investigate how these physicians construct their images as both health professionals (doctors) and content makers (influencers). In doing so, we rely on Goffman’s dramaturgical approach to examine the “faces” they wear in their vlogs and the strategies they used to manage when and how each face is perceived. We find that participants presented themselves through four faces: Approachable, Knowledgeable, Pedagogical, and Popular. Their self-presentation appears to be a negotiation between two roles: part doctor, or health service provider, and part influencer, or social media content creator.
Delegitimizing Opposition Party after Autocratization: Evidence from South Korean Newspapers
Authors: Jang JunHyeok
Published: May 2022

Autocratization increases threats from marginalized opposition elites whose parties are more incentivized to mobilize the masses. What do autocrats do to counter this threat? I argue that autocrats increase delegitimizing propaganda, information manipulation that exaggerates the disunity of opposition parties when they are involved in internal conflicts. It undermines opposition parties’ legitimacy as a competent alternative that conveys credible information and serves as a focal point of oppositions. To validate my argument, I compare how regime-controlled newspapers in the South Korean dictatorship cover two analogous internal conflicts in a major opposition party that occurred before and after autocratization. Using word embeddings, I find that newspaper reports after autocratization were more likely to associate the opposition party with negative words related to disunity
Same same, or very different. Comparing grindstones from Late Bronze Age settlements and a mining/ore beneficiation site in the Southern Alps
Authors: Abar Aydin
Published: May 2022

Macrolithic tools and grinding implements, in particular, are common finds at archaeological excavations. They appear in settlements, at workshop sites and close to mines. The central hypothesis of this article is that mining archaeology has a lot to gain when tools are directly compared to similar implements from settlement sites. However, the sphere of mining and beneficiation and the sphere of domestic production have mainly been thought of as separate. This a priori exclusion has led to misunderstandings of the social and physical environments of prehistoric individuals, leading to an artificial divide. By looking at a marginalised group of tools, in this case from three sites in the Southern Alps, I set out to discuss particular features of Late Bronze Age tool production and use-wear, to show that even though mining and domestic tools show distinct morphometric differences, similarities and possible hints indicate the entwinement of these spheres.
Integrating values to improve the relevance of climate-risk research
Authors: Helgeson Casey , Keller Klaus , Nicholas Robert E , Srikrishnan Vivek , Cooper Courtney , Smithwick Erica A.H. , Tuana Nancy
Published: May 2022

Climate risks are growing. Research is increasingly important to inform the design of risk-management strategies. Assessing such strategies necessarily brings values into research. But the values assumed within research (often only implicitly) may not align with those of stakeholders and decision makers. These misalignments are often invisible to researchers and can severely limit research relevance or lead to inappropriate policy advice. Aligning strategy assessments with stakeholders' values requires a holistic approach to research design that is oriented around those values from the start. Integrating values into research in this way requires collaboration with stakeholders, integration across disciplines, and attention to all aspects of research design. Here we describe and demonstrate a qualitative conceptual tool called a values-informed mental model (ViMM) to support such values-centered research design. ViMMs map stakeholders' values onto a conceptual model of a study system to visualize the intersection of those values with coupled natural-human system dynamics. Through this mapping, ViMMs integrate inputs from diverse collaborators to support the design of research that assesses risk-management strategies in light of stakeholders' values. We define a visual language for ViMMs, describe accompanying practices and workflows, and present an illustrative application to the case of flood-risk management in a small community along the Susquehanna river in the Northeast United States.
Fertility recovery despite the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland?
Authors: Nisén Jessica , Jalovaara Marika , Rotkirch Anna , Gissler Mika
Published: May 2022

Finland's increase in births, recorded in the months following the first two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, was among the strongest. We assess whether the fertility increase in Finland occurred because of or despite the pandemic, or both, by investigating the country’s fertility trends by women’s region of residence, age group, and parity. While the country as a whole was modestly hit by the pandemic in 2020, the capital region Helsinki-Uusimaa faced more severe restrictions. We used aggregate register data until September 2021 to assess monthly fertility. In 2020 and 2021, the relative annual increases in fertility were strongest among women aged 30–34 and 35–49. In 2021, but not in 2020, fertility increased most in Helsinki-Uusimaa, and across all parities. Model-based estimates provided tentative support for an overall pandemic fertility boost for the time period until September 2019. We conclude that the unusual fertility increases in 2021 in Finland broadly follow from pre-existing trends where the country recovers from its all-time low fertility, but do not exclude the possibility of an additional boost from the pandemic itself. The study highlights the importance of carefully considering existing fertility trends when studying fertility responses to the pandemic.
Understanding the lived experience and benefits of regional cities

Published: May 2022

This research investigates the lived experience of regional city residents (in five case studies) to understand how the benefits and disadvantages of regional city life are perceived and explore attitudes towards population growth.Over the 21st century Australia’s population has grown at a high rate and has been concentrated in the major cities, while many of the more remote areas of inland Australia have been stagnant or experienced population decline. As a result, there are two policy concerns regarding the distribution of population and growth in Australia: the need to ameliorate metropolitan population pressures by redirecting population growth out of the cities, and the uncertain futures of many parts of regional Australia that are not currently growing.The research finds that for pro-growth policies to be well-received in regional areas, it is essential that they are perceived as beneficial by local residents. The research also indicates that a primary focus for growth policy should be on improving regional labour markets, which would then attract population. This includes the need to consider how long-term career aspirations can be fulfilled in non-metropolitan Australia. More broadly, the findings indicate that policy making needs to be approached from a regional perspective, with the goal of making regional Australia an attractive place to live and work, rather than approached as a solution to metropolitan population pressures.
Open Research Reforms and The Capitalist University: Areas of Opposition and Alignment
Authors: Hostler Tom
Published: May 2022

There is a need for a nuanced and theoretically grounded analysis of the socio-political consequences of methodological reforms proposed by the open research movement. This paper contributes by utilising the theory of academic capitalism and considering how open research reforms may interact with the priorities and practices of the capitalist university. Three manifestations of academic capitalism are considered: the development of a highly competitive job market for researchers based on metricized performance, the increase in administration resulting from university systems of compliance, and the reorganization of academic labour along principles of “post-academic science”. The ways in which open research reforms both oppose and align with these manifestations is then considered, to explore the relationships between specific reforms and academic capitalist praxis. Overall, it is concluded that open research advocates must engage more closely with the potential of reforms to negatively affect academic labour conditions, which may bring them into conflict with either university management, or those who uphold the traditional principles of an ‘all round’ academic role
The Theology of Opposition to the Existence of Anthropogenic Climate Change.
Authors: Blaber Richard Michael
Published: May 2022

In the United States, religious opposition to anthropogenic climate change, and policies to deal with it, is a largely, but not exclusively, conservative Evangelical phenomenon, and tied to white middle-class support for the Republican Party and Donald Trump. This paper examines the theological reasoning employed by conservative, or fundamentalist, Christians, both Evangelical and Catholic, in the US and UK, to justify and rationalise their disbelief in climate science and opposition to climate policies.

Published: May 2022

The aim of the present study was to investigate the level of awareness about sports-nutrition knowledge among football players belonging to different ethnic groups living in North Bengal, India. Based on positivistic approach, the present study revealed that the football players of this region possess inadequate knowledge of nutrition both in terms of general nutrition knowledge and in terms of the timing and type of nutrients to be consumed before, during, and after competition. Moreover, the habit of consuming protein (meat) during and immediately after sports competition seems to be a traditionally perceived way of food consumption and practice, which is needed to be changed. And, such a low level of sports-nutrition knowledge among football players of present study highlights the importance to introduce special educational program on sports-nutrition to enhance their knowledge and thereby performance and health.
Impact of quantities of Nitrogen application on infestation of Sorghum insect pest
Authors: Sohani Smruti , Chouhan Ravindra , Birla Deepak , Patel Love
Published: May 2022

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a vital essential nutriment crop in the biosphere and fifth most significant cereal crop afterward wheat, rice, maize and barley. NPK are elementary nutrients for plant development, which play a major role in uptake and energy creation in plants and suggestively improve the grain harvest. Sorghum is grown in a variety of agro-ecosystems, with varied biotic and abiotic variables influencing grain output. Arthropods are a serious difficulty for increasing sorghum yield among the biotic components. A variety of variables contribute to insect pest issues in the field, including alteration of the environment to make it more conducive to insect growth, reproduction, and development, as well as conventional cultural practises. Choosing pest-resistant cultivars that are well matched to local growing circumstances is the first step in integrated insect control in sorghum. This strategy is usually employed in conjunction with crop rotation, optimal planting date, trap cropping, cultivation of allelopathy or non-host crops, crop residue eradication, and field cleaning. Extant review has been made to cite the relevant literature on Impact of quantities of Nitrogen use on infestation of Sorghum insect pest.
Electoral Geography: Approaches to Study Voting Behavior
Authors: Verma Anupama
Published: May 2022

Approaches to understanding voting behaviour played an important role in the field of electoral geography. Studies based on voting behavior normally rely on information gleaned from primary and secondary sources of data. Aggregate or composite election data for states or constituencies is convenient for examining election results, such as differences in votes between states. Different perspectives or approaches played an important role in examining the factors influencing the way people vote. This type of information usually consists of data related to voter's behavior and their specific socio-economic characteristics etc. Electoral geography involves collecting and analysing data through various techniques and approaches. The data analysis study in electoral geography usually focuses on ascertaining spatial patterns of party performance and voters' behaviour. It is thus clear that electoral geography has a special place for approaches that are useful for spatial analysis. The primary aim of this study is to explain various types of methods and approaches used in electoral geography for the analysis of voting behaviour. This study provides researchers, geographers, political and social scientists with a better understanding of the skills to analyse election data.

Swadeshi versus Globalization: Gandhian Vision
Authors: Soni Jitendra Kumar
Published: May 2022

Globalization is an extension of liberal ideology. Although the formal colonial system is gone, Western domination and control continues to influence the vast majority of the non-Western world in a way that is more subtle and sophisticated but more destructive. Globalization is not a simple but complex process which operates at different levels of political, economic, cultural and ideologies. It has created worldwide social, economic and cultural insecurity.

Globalization seeks to impose a narrow local interest as 'global' all over the place. Violence is natural in this process, local groups, their interests, their identity, their security may be at risk. This cannot be globalization. Gandhian descent of globalization where local diverse cultures are promoted and all together lay the foundation of a global village. It will not be violence, but development will be based on the foundation of non-violence. Socio-economic justice from human non-violence and non-violence of other living beings will strengthen environmental health. Here all the local units will work self-disciplined with love, non-violence and harmony. Will be devoted to the service of a greater whole i.e. humanity.

Therefore, according to the research of the present paper, today's need is to adopt positive, inclusive, liberal Swadeshi so that confidence in our people and knowledge system, in our abilities and our skills is built.

Water Plays a significant role in our life. It serves the purpose of various Human activities such as irrigation, electricity, generation, industrial production etc. Water requirement in Uttar Pradesh is continually on the rise. In India ground water is being used as raw or untreated water for 85% of the public Supply of water varies widely from region to region and country to country. The prime requirement for sustainable development of a region is its water quality especially underground water. To check groundwater and sort out the contaminated region is economically very significant for the development of the area...Currently the potable water woes are global problem. This paper focuses on the ground water contamination of Agra city. It was selected for its importance as a popular tourist destination worldwide. The large number of tourists coming here use its water, therefore it is imperative that its water quality be monitored regularly. The present study is of mid-monsoon season 2018. For these 15 samples were collected using handheld GPS from randomly selected stations from different wards having easy access for regular sampling. The drinking water in Agra city is assessed for the following 8 parameters namely, pH, conductance, total dissolved solids (TDS) and heavy metals like Cu, Cr, Zn, Pb and As. and it is found that the concentration of various parameters is not within the permissible limit of water quality prescribed by WHO and CPCB. A GIS database of the measured spatial and water quality data is developed using QGIS3.2 and ground water quality maps are also prepared which will be helpful in monitoring the ground water quality of the status of the study area.

However, the attainment of this progress has spread highly uneven from region to region, society to society, sector to sector etc. This disparity not only rooted in developing countries but also in the most advanced countries of the world. Since, some regions are developed economically, but backward socially, whereas some other are developed socially and backward economically, therefore becomes essential to study the level of socio-economic development over different regions so as to ensure the removal of regional imbalances effectively. in the developed economics all the inhabitants have an assured minimum level of subsistence, and the problem of in front of lagging regions of such economics is just to catch up the leading one, but in the developing countries the basic problem is that how to provide minimum level of subsistence to their teeming millions (Chand,M.&Puri, V.K,1990). In the present study the regional disparities in the level of agriculture and allied development in north Karnataka has been carried out with the aiming that to study the Spatial Pattern of Agriculture and Allied Development and identify the backward blocks of the North Karnataka and an attempt is also made to find out the correlation between different factors which lead to regional disparity. The study is based on secondary data collected from Census handbook, (2001 and 2011), Dr. D M Nanjundappa Committee Report, and Economic Survey of Karnataka etc. The comprehensive composite index has applied to find the region into four groups viz, areas of developed, Backward, more backward and most Backward. Out of 60 taluks thirty taluks have been identified as developed with CI. >0.99, thirteen taluks named as Backward taluks with CI Value between 0.89 and 0.99. There were merely six taluks noticed under areas of more Backwards with CI value from 0.79 to 0.88 and twenty-six taluks have been observed under areas of Most Backward with CI value < 0.79.
Probing the Minority Conundrum: Sardar Patel and Minorities in India
Authors: Singh Ankita
Published: May 2022

Indian Constitution is a progressive document based on liberal ethos of equality and freedom. Secularism, as imbibed in the document gives freedom of religious practices and believes and even propagation to people of all faith. This is also considered as the fundamental characteristic of the Indian Constitution which cannot be altered. Given the image of Vallabhai Patel it looks astounding to find out that he was the head of the advisory committee on minorities in the constituent assembly which proposed special protection to minorities in particular. This chapter is an attempt to understand the depth of the contribution of Patel in shaping the minority rights in India and establishing secular polity. The chapter is divided in two major parts; one is dealing with the theoretical basis on which the minority questions are generally seen. This also deals with the peculiar provisions in the legal and political setups which makes India a secular polity. Second is examining the role and interventions of Patel in the constituent assembly on the issue.
Language and Cross-Cultural Construction: A Systemic Functional Interpretation of Hiroko Tanaka in Shamsie's Burnt Shadows
Authors: Rashid Abdul , Zahra Kanwal
Published: May 2022

This study interprets and explains Hiroko Tanaka one of the major characters of Burnt Shadows from the perspective of cross-cultural construction by using Transitivity which is a major system for the explanation of experiential meta function at the level of clause in Systemic Functional Grammar. Shamsie’s Burnt Shadows (2009) covers five countries and fifty-six years. The novel is about diverse cultures and significant historical periods of the world represented through the intimate relations among the characters. Systemic Functional Linguistics describes language in four hierarchical levels, and the relation among these levels is that of realization/actualization of higher strata realized in the next lower level. This study exploits this realization from the lower level of lexico grammar up to the higher level of Semantics and fictional Context created within the novel. The results obtained by applying this analytical framework. Transitivity Concordance and Role Dynamism equip are searcher with some objective grounds (to some extent) for the subjective interpretation of a discourse. This study is not just segmentation or a paraphrasing identical to close reading; rather it is an interpretation of divergent ideologies that underpin cultural constructions. This approach proves that studying literature through its language is more rewarding than paraphrasing.
Infancy Apocryphal Literature as Source of Quranic Mary and Jesus: A Chronological Investigation
Authors: Usmani Muhammad Tayyab , Samiullah Muhammad , Mustafa Muhammad Tahir
Published: May 2022

Apocryphal materials are different from the biblical accounts. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Western scholars of Qur'an & Islam applied the historical-critical method to decide apocryphal elements in the Quranic stories about Marry & Jesus, who are figures known from the Bible. The most common apocryphal sources that figures in the so-called copying are The Protevangelium of James, The Infancy Gospel of Thomas, The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, and Coptic Gospel. The earliest person who popularized the hypothesis of origin/original sources of the Qur'anic accounts from these apocryphal stories into the Qur'an was Abraham Geiger in his book Was hat Mohammed aus dem Judenthume aufgenommen? and on the same methodology, Rev. W. St. Clair Tisdall presented Christian apocryphal literature as sources of Qur'anic Jesus and Mary. Later on, apologists and missionaries, particularly orientalists claimed that the verses of the Qur'an are drawn from the apocryphal source material. The main object of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it analyses how the Qur'an and apocryphal infancy literature presents Marry & Jesus's infancy stories, on the other hand, it examines historical interrelations between Quranic & apocryphal texts can be described as the approaches in which texts refer to, and construct on other text.

No other piece of cloth has ever caused this much debate as the headscarf. This paper examines the headscarf debate in three European countries i.e., France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Firstly, the headscarf affair depicts different state policies developed and implemented by three countries, to integrate the Muslim immigrants. Secondly, an analysis of different approaches used by these countries regarding the headscarf issue highlights the place of Muslims and Islam in the European countries. Lastly, this paper contends that the headscarf controversy in France, Germany and the United Kingdom revolves around the issues of secularity vs. Islamic fundamentalism, gender equality vs. religious rights, modernity vs. backwardness and integration vs. assimilation. In this paper, we argue that contrary to the common perception that Muslims are intolerant, backward, and theocratic; the act of banning the headscarf by some of the European countries, in fact, proved these countries to be intolerant and authoritarian towards Muslims.

Pakistan-USA relations have witnessed many ups and downs throughout the history of their interaction. The elite press on both sides played an important role in shaping and re-shaping attitudes,policies, and public opinion over various bilateral and regional issues. Post 9/11 situation expanded the part of the press on both sides due to war on terror cooperation and subsequent developments. Regime changes in America or Pakistan are often perceived as a harbinger of new policy shifts with anticipations of a new era of bilateral relations. The last year of the PPP government in Pakistan witnessed re-election of Barack Obama for the second term, but Pakistan's upcoming elections were more speculative interms of office holder and the party. The scholar are divided about the role of the elite press in policy making and influencing the policy-making process through their content and issue projection.But the press on both sides published their approaches through editorials over a number of issues that could be major component of the upcoming government's policy-making process. War on terror,political discourse, religion, and politics remained choices for editorials for Daily Dawn and Washington Post during that period of time.
