Published: September 2021

This research is a literature study on the management and supervision of coastal and marine areas in Indonesia. The results showed that coastal and marine areas with their natural resources have an important meaning for economic development, because coastal and marine areas are areas with biological and non-biological resources that are very productive. In addition, coastal and marine areas still have a number of critical problems related to ecological, socio-economic and institutional issues. Ecological problems can be observed from the phenomenon of damage to coral reefs, mangrove forests, pollution, overfishing, coastal abrasion and physical degradation of other coastal habitats. It is essentially aimed at empowering the socio-economy of the community, so the community should have contributed to organize themselves in managing coastal and marine resources in this autonomy era. The process of transferring power from government to society must be realized. However, there are a number of things that are still the responsibility of the government, such as matters of fiscal resources policy, development of facilities and infrastructure, preparation of coastal spatial planning, and resource management legal instruments. Even though this is part of the government's authority, it does not mean that the community does not have the contribution and participation in every policy formulation. With the contribution and participation of the community, the formulated policy will touch more on the real issue and not harm the public interest.

Authors: Salsabila Almas , Afrizal Teuku Yudi , Aksa Fauzah Nur
Published: September 2021

Perkawinan hanya diizinkan jika pihak pria sudah mencapai umur 19 (sembilan belas) tahun dan pihak wanita mencapai umur 19 (sembilan belas) tahun. Hal tersebut tercantum dalam Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan, Pasal 7 ayat (1). Apabila terjadi perkawinan pada remaja yang usianya belum mencukupi batas usia tersebut maka perkawinan tersebut dikatakan sebagai perkawinan di bawah umur. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan tentang perlindungan hukum terhadap bekas isteri di bawah umur dalam perkara perceraian, hambatan yang ditemukan dalam pemberian perlindungan hukum terhadap bekas isteri di bawah umur dalam perkara perceraian dan upaya yang ditempuh untuk mengatasi hambatan yang ditemukan dalam pemberian perlindungan hukum terhadap bekas isteri di bawah umur di Kabupaten Aceh Tengah. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitis dengan menggunakan pendekatan yuridis empiris. Data primer penelititian ini diperoleh dari hasil penelitian lapangan dengan mewawancarai responden dan informan. Selain itu juga diperoleh dari data sekunder dari berbagai buku referensi dan karya tulis lainnya serta peraturan perundang-undangan terkait. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian bahwa perlindungan hukum terhadap bekas isteri di bawah umur dalam perkara perceraian di Kabupaten Aceh Tengah belum terpenuhi secara maksimal. Hambatannya adalah tidak adanya payung hukum khusus untuk masyarakat meminta perlindungan hukum terhadap dirinya beserta hak-haknya yang tidak didapatkan setelah bercerai. Kurangnya sosialisasi kepada masyarakat khususnya orang tua dan remaja untuk tidak mudah melakukan perkawinan di bawah umur dan tidak mudah untuk melakukan perceraian. Upaya yang ditempuh untuk mengatasi hambatan dalam pemberian perlindungan hukum terhadap bekas isteri di bawah umur adalah pembentukan payung hukum yang dapat melindungi hak-hak bekas isteri di bawah umur yang tidak terpenuhi dan memberikan sosialisasi terhadap orang tua dan remaja agar tidak melakukan perbuatan hukum tanpa disertai kesiapan yang benar. Diharapkan kepada pemerintah untuk dapat menyempurnakan peraturan tentang perlindungan hukum terhadap bekas isteri dalam perkara perceraian. Disarankan juga kepada para pekerja di bidang hukum untuk selalu berupaya menemukan terobosan-terobosan baru, melakukan lokakarya dengan pihak lain, melakukan ijma’ sebagai upaya untuk menemukan solusi sebaik-baiknya. Disarankan juga kepada para bekas isteri untuk senantiasa berupaya mendapatkan perlindungan hukumnya.

Published: September 2021

A bank always requires collateral to its customers in providing credit facility as a form of a guarantee or responsibility for their contract with the bank. A bank also employs an Appraisal Bank or Public Appraisal Service Office (KJPP). KJPP is expected to prevent wrong collateral valuation and value engineering. Therefore, the research problems are how the independence of an Appraisal Bank is, in performing collateral valuation in a credit contract, how the binding force of the valuation results gained by an Appraisal Bank to the collateral in a credit contract, and how the liability of the Appraisal Bank for the valuation performed by an Appraisal Bank to the collateral in a credit contract. This is a normative juridical and descriptive research. This research employs statutory method using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The data are collected from library study and field observation. They are analyzed by reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions/making verification to obtain descriptive data. The results of the research conclude that the independence an. appraisal is assessed when he performs valuation without intervention from anyone. In legal view, an appraisal is considered valid and affecting the collateral object; the results of his valuation becomes his responsibility. The responsibility of an appraisal for his valuation results can be seen from the conformity of his report and the prevailing regulations. It is suggested that one be required and obliged to have specific skills, integrity, honesty and objectivity to become an appraisal. An appraisal also has to be guided by ethical codes and prevailing laws and regulations.

INDUKSI TEMATIK AS-SYATIBI DALAM EPISTEMOLOGI DAN AKSIOLOGI HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Alfikri Albert
Published: September 2021

Studi ini bertujuan untuk memperlihatkan bagaimana induksi tematik, sebagai metode berpikir dalam penemuan hukum Islam, bekerja. Manhaj yang digagas oleh asy-Asyatibi ini dihadirkan dengan cara kerja sistem hukum progersif. Ia dimanfaatkan untuk tidak hanya melakukan istinbat dari sumber-sumber primer hukum Islam, tetapi juga diproyeksikan untuk merespons realitas sosial dari aspek makna substansialnya. Ketika kebanyakan manhaj berpikir hukum Islam sebelumnya hanya berpijak pada bunyi teks, induksi tematik justru menyingkap maksud pensyariatan hukum. Tak pelak jika ia diidentifikasi sebagai manhaj berpikir baru dalam sejarah perkembangan hukum Islam. Pada dasarnya, sistem, dasar dan pola berpikir induksi tematik hadir sebagai suatu epistemologi yang berangkat dari nalar yang relatif serupa dengan penalaran hukum asy-Syafi’i, namun berbeda dalam pengelolaanya; induksi asy-syatibi mengelola sisi implisit teks, sementara induksi asy-syafi’i mengelola sisi eksplisitnya. Selanjutnya, secara aksiologi, studi ini juga menampilkan penerapan epistemologi hukum Islam dalam komparasi tiga model induksi. Ketiganya dimanfaatkan untuk melacak dalil-dalil partikular dalam rangka membangun epistemologi bagi paradigma baru hukum kewarisan Islam. Paradigma itu lahir dari dualisme sistem kewarisan matrilinial dan patrilinial yang saling-tarik menarik, namun pada gilirannya menjadi penjembatan antarkeduanya. Implikasi studi ini memperlihatkan bagaimana induksi tematik asy-Syatibi berkerja dalam dua wilayah; epistemologi dan aksiologi. Ketika secara ontologi induksi hanya berarti pelacakan (tatabbu’), studi ini justru menerapkannya pada wilayah epistemologi dan aksiologi sebagai manhaj berpikir hukum Islam yang progresif; seirama dengan pernyataan syariat, sementara tetap merespons realitas sosial.

Authors: Haryanto Dwi , Nugroho Adam Budi , Irfan Muhamad , Haryadi Yudo
Published: September 2021

Indonesia terletak di perbatasan tiga lempeng tektonik yang bergeser satu sama lain, Lempeng Indo- Australia, Lempeng Pasifik, dan Lempeng Eurasia. Pergerakan relatif antara lempeng tektonik ini dapat  menyebabkan terjadinya gempak tektonik di laut. Gempa tektonik di laut merupakan salah satu penyebab utama tsunami di Indonesia. Ina-Buoy merupakan sistem teknologi peringatan tsunami yang meliputi sensor yang terpasang di dasar laut Ocean Bottom Unit (OBU) dan sensor tersebut mengirimkan sinyal ke stasiun surface buoy yang mengapung di atas permukaan air laut menggunakan  sistem mooring. Pemasangan buoy tsunami harus berada pada lokasi yang tepat dan mempertimbangkan  beberapa parameter, yaitu: parameter kedalaman, gradien dasar laut, dan tipe material dasar laut. Studi penempatan lokasi buoy tsunami di Selatan Jawa-Bali berdasarkan hasil penilaian tiga parameter telah    menghasilkan tiga lokasi yang tepat untuk pemasangan buoy tsunami.  Lokasi pertama berada di selatan Malang pada  koordinat 112°31’34”BT, 9°11’41”LS yang memiliki kedalaman 2042m, gradien dasar laut 2° atau 2.5%, dan tipe material dasar laut berupa lempung abu kehijauan dengan ketebalan sekitar 20 cm. Lokasi kedua berada di Selatan Selat Sunda pada koordinat 104°00’22”BT, 6o30’19”LS yang memiliki kedalaman 2038m, gradien dasar laut 0.31° atau 0.5% (< 5°), dan tipe material dasar laut berupa lempung abu kehijauan dengan ketebalan sekitar 25 cm. Sedangkan lokasi ketiga berada di Selatan Bali pada koordinat 115°12’37”BT, 9°44’22”LS memiliki kedalaman 4282.5m, gradien dasar laut 0.31° atau 0.5%, dan tipe material dasar laut berupa lempung abu kecoklatan dengan ketebalan sekitar 30 cm.

Published: September 2021

A comparative analysis of three single nucleotide variations of the proteasomal genes PSMA3 (rs2348071) and PSMA6 (rs2277460 and rs1048990) was carried out in the groups of children from 1 to 16 years old with the autoimmune rheumatic disease - juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA; n = 199), with articular syndrome of non-autoimmune etiology (n = 229) and in the clinical control group with neither autoimmune nor chronic inflammatory diseases (n = 379). PCR, PCR–RFLP and real-time PCR were used for genotyping. It was found that the CG genotype and G allele of rs10489990 polymorphism (OR = = 1.93; 95 % CI 1.29-2.90; p = 0.002 and OR = 1.51; 95 % CI 1.11-2.04; p = 0.008 respectively), as well as the AA genotype of rs2348071 polymorphism (OR = 1.89; 95 % CI 1.02–3.49; p = 0.044) are associated with the JIA susceptibility, but not with articular syndrome. The established JIA risk genotypes may indicate the involvement of PSMA3 and PSMA6 genes in the development of an autoimmune reaction. In combination with other risk DNA markers, they can be proposed to assess a genetic predisposition to JIA. It was also revealed that the frequencies of risk genotypes and alleles for JIA in the group of patients with articular syndrome as a whole occupy an intermediate position between JIA and control group frequencies. This may indicate an increased JIA risk in some patients with articular syndrome.
Fruit and berry industry of Belarus: production status, labor productivity and performance
Authors: Shundalov B. M.
Published: September 2021

The article draws attention to the relevance of the topic. It is noted that the level of self-sufficiency of Belarus with domestic fruit and berry products in some years does not reach 50%, although the soil and climatic conditions of the republic contribute to the almost universal cultivation and cultivation of various types and varieties of fruit and berry crops. In the fruit and berry industry of all categories of farms for the period 2015–2019, there were significant dynamic changes: if the gross harvest of fruits of seed crops decreased by almost 30%, the production of berries increased by 31%. The main contribution to the total gross harvest of fruits and berries was made by the households of the population – at least 70%. Attention is drawn to the fact that during the study period, the fruit-bearing area of horticultural crops significantly decreased, but their yield significantly increased. The article states that the yield of garden crops is characterized by a significant fluctuation between odd and even years: for even years, the yield indicators are higher compared to odd years. This pattern does not apply to berry crops.An in-depth study of the indicators characterizing the fruit and berry industry was carried out on the example of the agricultural production cooperative (APC) “Progress-Vertelishki” of the Grodno region. In this farm, considerable attention is paid to the cultivation and cultivation of horticultural crops: from a significant fruit – bearing area for the period 2014–2018, from 2.6 to 3.2 thousand tons of fruits and from 31 to 85 tons of berries were collected annually. Using the example of the fruit and berry industry of the APC “Progress-Vertelishki”, the author of the article proves the need to calculate and evaluate labor productivity on the basis of net production (added value) rather than gross output. The main part of the article concludes with an analytical assessment of the economic and financial indicators of the fruit and berry industry in the APC “Progress-Vertelishki”. The content of the article ends with reasoned conclusions.

Published: September 2021

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the discharge training priorities of lung cancer patients, their nurses and doctors after chemotherapy using the card-sorting technique.

Methods: The study sample consisted of patients with lung cancer (n = 60) who received care in the Chemotherapy Clinic and nurses (n = 25) and doctors (n = 25) who give care to these patients. The data were collected using the sociodemographic information form and ten cards with discharge training related subjects who were asked to be ranked in order of importance. Frequency, percentage, arithmetic average, chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used for data analysis.

Results: As a result of the analyzes, it was determined that the average age of the patients was 61.91 ± 7.27, the average age of the doctors was 27.56 ± 1.78, and the average age of the nurses was 36 ± 6.52. It has been determined that there are differences between the doctors, nurses and patients in their ranking of the priority given to learning subjects in many aspects. In addition, while there was no significant difference between the patients' positioning the learning subjects according to their gender, it was determined that there was a significant difference according to the stage of cancer.

Conclusion: According to these results, doctors and nurses should determine the primary learning needs of patients by using card sorting technique prior to training. In this way, it can be ensured that each patient / relative takes an active role in the management of the disease and that the education is more effective.

Background/Aim: Cancer cells promote lactate formation via pyruvate rather than oxidative phosphorylation by programming their metabolism to maintain proliferation under the Warburg effect. It has shown that the altered metabolic phenotype with activation of lactate dehydrogenase-A in the cancer cell may affect survival, chemotherapy resistance, and metastasis. In this direction, studies are focusing on reprogramming cancer metabolism and increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy. In this study, the main aim was to target the Warburg phenotype via the inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase with the combination of sodium oxamate and current colorectal cancer treatment options such as 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan.

Methods: The effect of chemotherapeutics on the cellular behaviour was evaluated by real-time cytotoxicity and migration analysis systems, and metabolic phenotype was assessed by measuring lactate, lactate dehydrogenase expression, and reactive oxygen species levels.

Results: According to the results, the viability and migration of colorectal cancer cells were significantly decreased with the combination of chemotherapeutics and sodium oxamate which decreases lactate levels.

Conclusion: As a result, the combination of sodium oxamate with the chemotherapeutics hinders the cancer cell viability and migration by changing metabolic phenotype with decreased lactate.

Promoting Student-Centred Language Learning Via eTandem
The Case of Mexican and South African Students
Authors: Mendoza Arturo
Published: September 2021

eTandem is a type of virtual and synchronic way of learning an additional language in collaboration with peers who speak the target language and who are also learning their counterparts’ language. eTandem is usually incorporated as part of the activities that students have to complete whilst learning a language. However, these virtual activities are seldom part of the curriculum or the course syllabus and they are hardly ever part of the assessment process. The aim of this paper is to highlight the benefits of learning a language as the means of promoting a student-centred learning approach through autonomy, peer and self-assessment, self-reflection, feedback and by using the language to understand cultural and intercultural differences. The study was carried out via eTandem activities between Mexican students learning English and South African students learning Spanish. The results suggest that virtual exchanges whilst learning a language foster a wide ray of social, cultural and pragmatic means of learning a language in context. This paper has implications in promoting the inclusion of blended language learning in higher education settings.
The Digital Story as a Reading Response to the Literary Text
Revisiting Camus’ The Outsider in the French Foreign Language Classroom
Authors: Horne Fiona
Published: September 2021

This contribution discusses the potentialities of the Digital Story as a complement to literary analysis in the French foreign language (L2) classroom. The case study examines the Digital Story as an instructional tool in the reading of Camus’ seminal text, The Outsider, reflecting on the role it may play in addressing learning challenges in the L2 classroom and in moving beyond traditional reading postures and approaches. The Digital Story is shown to cultivate a scholarship of engagement and collaborative action in the teaching of literature. Furthermore, as a multimodal, multigenre form, it fosters potential for mapping out new interactions between reader, text and technology in the context of emerging literacies.
European Union’s enlargement fatigue: Russia’s and China’s rise in Southeast Europe?
Authors: Markovic Khaze Nina
Published: September 2021

Enlargement fatigue has descended upon the European Union (EU) institutions, which remain focused on resolving the Brexit crisis and ongoing internal reforms. This multi-faceted phenomenon has directly caused the so-called accession fatigue in potential EU members, which are increasingly turning to other geopolitical alternatives. Russia and China are the new dominant powerbrokers in the EU’s immediate neighbourhood, courting political and business elites in EU candidate states and offering an alternative foreign policy option which contrasts with the stalled EU enlargement process. This paper discusses the rise of these external powers in the EU’s immediate neighbourhood, suggesting three scenarios for the future of the Balkan region where the EU, Russia and China are more vigorously vying for influence than ever before.
Theorising Europeanisation in European Literature: Conceptualisation and Operationalisation
Authors: Mtchedlishvili Daviti
Published: September 2021

There has been an extensive academic debate on the impact of the European Union on its member states, on the candidate countries for EU membership and the countries in its geographical neighbourhood. This paper analyses the notion and working conceptualisation of ‘Europeanisation’, which is to say, the EU’s impact on domestic political systems, when EU rules, norms and laws are first defined and consolidated in the making of EU decisions and then incorporated in the logic of domestic discourse, identities, political structures and public policies. The paper suggests to analyse the Europeanisation process in three ways. Moreover, the article elucidates the gradual development of the Europeanisation theory from so called “internal” to “external” Europeanisation, whereby the EU tries to transfer its Acquis Communautaire (the legal order of the European Union) to the international level. However, research on the Western understanding of Europeanisation confirms that the analysis of the process, when the European neighbourhood states adopt the EU acquis (the objectives of the European Union, its policies and the rules governing these policies) from the viewpoint of institutional framework has significant limitations. To deal with some of these issues, the paper outlines the conceptualisation of Europeanisation and examines the difference between Europeanisation and European Integration.

A Waste Energy Recovery Management for Electricity Generation from Two Temperature Grades of Energy Sources in Subcritical Organic Rankine Systems
Authors: Tarrad Ali H.
Published: September 2021

Waste energy represents one of the most critical issues for the economic utilization and management of energy in modern industrial fields. This article outlines a scheme to utilize two different source temperature levels within the envelope of higher than 200 °C zones. Two regenerative organic Rankine cycles (RORC) were implemented to construct a compound regenerative organic Rankine cycle (CRORC) to improve the energy management of the sources. These two mini-cycles were integrated throughout an intermediate economizer circuit to extract a certain amount of energy from the high-temperature level mini-cycle. R-123 was circulated in the high-temperature cycle due to its high critical temperature at evaporation and condensation temperatures of 160 °C and 50 °C, respectively. R-123, R-21, and hydrocarbon R-600 were used as working fluids for the low-temperature cycle at evaporation and condensation temperatures of 130 °C and 35 °C, respectively. The R-123 fluid in the high-temperature mini-cycle was superheated to 170-240 °C, whereas the fluid in the low-temperature level was superheated to 180 °C. The results showed that the independent system (IRORC) requires more energy recovery than the compound system by a maximum of 2% to achieve the same net power output. This corresponds to the enhancement of 2% for the system net thermal efficiency of the compound (CRORC) system compared to the independent (IRORC) one. The compound (CRORC) system revealed a net thermal efficiency in the range of 14% and 15.6% for the test conditions. The mini-cycle net thermal efficiency of the low-temperature in the compound system was enhanced by a range of 2.5-5% compared to that of the independent arrangement. R-123/R-123 and R-123/R-21 systems exhibited higher net thermal efficiencies than the R-123/R-600 one by 3% and 2%, respectively. Increasing the superheat degree of the high-temperature mini-cycle from 10 °C to 80 °C for the compound system has improved the thermal efficiency by 7.6-7.9% for the examined fluid pairs and operating conditions. Keywords: compound cycle, regenerative, energy management, energy recovery, organic fluids

Trends and Patterns of Foreign Direct Investment in India: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Girdharwal Amit , Girdharwal Amit
Published: September 2021

India embarked on a journey of economic reform in 1991 in order to remove the structural and institutional bottlenecks that were plaguing the Indian economy. The objectives of reforms were to achieve higher growth and efficient utilization of resources and thereby redistribution of resources. The reforms introduced in 1991 could be characterized as liberalization, privatization and globalization. Attracting FDI as an addition to existing pool of resources was one of the major objectives of reform. Since 1991, inflow of FDI in India has been rising steadily. The process that begun in 1991, has been constantly reformed in order to achieve the aspiration goals of India. The recent regime in India has reinvigorated economic reforms and thus helped in attracting historic level of FDI inflow. There seems to be a point of break around 2014 which marks that FDI inflow has peaked considerably thereafter.

We denote by $\mathbb Z_2$ the prime field of two elements and by $P_t = \mathbb Z_2[x_1, \ldots, x_t]$ the polynomial algebra of $t$ generators $x_1, \ldots, x_t$ with the degree of each $x_i$ being one. Let $\mathcal A_2$ be the Steenrod algebra over $\mathbb Z_2.$ A central problem of homotopy theory is to determine a minimal set of generators for the "cohits" space $\mathbb Z_2\otimes_{\mathcal A_2} P_t.$ This problem, which is called \textit{the "hit" problem} for Steenrod algebra, has been systematically studied for $t\leq 4.$ The present paper is devoted to the investigation of the structure of $\mathbb Z_2\otimes_{\mathcal A_2} P_t$ in some certain "generic" degrees. More specifically, we explicitly determine a monomial basis of $\mathbb Z_2\otimes_{\mathcal A_2} P_5$ in degree \mbox{$n_s=5(2^{s}-1) + 42.2^{s}$} for every non-negative integer $s.$ As a result, it confirms Sum's conjecture \cite{N.S2} for a relation between the minimal sets of $\mathcal A_2$-generators of the algebras $P_{t-1}$ and $P_{t}$ in the case $t=5$ and degree $n_s$. Based on Kameko's map \cite{M.K} and a previous result by Sum \cite{N.S1}, we obtain a inductive formula for the dimension of $\mathbb Z_2\otimes_{\mathcal A_2} P_t$ in a generic degree given. As an application, we obtain the dimension of $\mathbb Z_2\otimes_{\mathcal A_2} P_6$ in the generic degree $5(2^{s+5}-1) + n_0.2^{s+5}$ for all $s\geq 0,$ and show that the Singer's cohomological transfer \cite{W.S1} is an isomorphism in bidegree $(5, 5+n_s)$.
On the lambda algebra and Singer's cohomological transfer

Write $\mathbb A$ for the 2-primary Steenrod algebra, which is the algebra of stable natural endomorphisms of the mod 2 cohomology functor on topological spaces. Working at the prime 2, computing the cohomology of $\mathbb A$ is an important problem of Algebraic topology, because it is the initial page of the Adams spectral sequence converging to stable homotopy groups of the spheres. A relatively efficient tool to describe this cohomology is the Singer algebraic transfer of rank $n$ in \cite{Singer}, which passes from a certain subquotient of a divided power algebra to the cohomology of $\mathbb A.$ Singer predicted that this transfer is a monomorphism, but this remains open for $n\geq 4.$ This short note is to verify the conjecture in the ranks 4 and 5 and some generic degrees.

Drone-mounted GPR surveying: flight-height considerations for diffraction-based velocity analysis
Authors: Booth Adam , Koylass Tiffany
Published: September 2021

Recent studies highlight the potential of the drone platform forground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveying. Most guidance foroptimizing drone flight heights is based on maximizing the imagequality of target responses, but no study yet considers the impacton diffraction traveltimes. Strong GPR velocity contrasts acrossthe air-ground interface introduce significant refraction effectsthat distort diffraction hyperbolas and introduce errors into diffraction-based velocity analysis. The severity of these errors isexplored with synthetic GPR responses, using ray- and finite-difference approaches, and a field GPR data set acquired overa sequence of diffracting features buried up to 1 m depth.Throughout, GPR antennas with 1000 MHz center frequency areraised from the ground to heights <0.9 m (i.e., 0–3 times thewavelength in air). Velocity estimates are within +10% of modeled values (spanning from 0.07 to 0.13 m/ns) if the antennaheight is within 1/2 wavelength in air above the ground surface.Greater heights reduce diffraction curvature, damaging velocityprecision, and masking diffractions against a background of subhorizontal reflectivity. Field data highlight further problems of thedrone-based platform, with data dominated by reverberations inthe air gap and reduced spatial resolution of wavelets at targetdepth. We suggest that a drone-based platform is unsuitable fordiffraction-based velocity analysis, and any future drone surveysare benchmarked against ground-coupled data sets.
Decision Prioritization and Causal Reasoning in Decision Hierarchies
Authors: Zylberberg Ariel
Published: September 2021

From cooking a meal to finding a route to a destination, many real life decisions can be decomposed into a hierarchy of sub-decisions. In a hierarchy, choosing which decision to think about requires planning over a potentially vast space of possible decision sequences. To gain insight into how people decide what to decide on, we studied a novel task that combines perceptual decision making, active sensing and hierarchical and counterfactual reasoning. Human participants had to find a target hidden at the lowest level of a decision tree. They could solicit information from the different nodes of the decision tree to gather noisy evidence about the target's location. Feedback was given only after errors at the leaf nodes and provided ambiguous evidence about the cause of the error. Despite the complexity of task (with $10^7$ latent states) participants were able to plan efficiently in the task. A computational model of this process identified a small number of heuristics of low computational complexity that accounted for human behavior. These heuristics include making categorical decisions at the branching points of the decision tree rather than carrying forward entire probability distributions, discarding sensory evidence deemed unreliable to make a choice, and using choice confidence to infer the cause of the error after an initial plan failed. Plans based on probabilistic inference or myopic sampling norms could not capture participants' behavior. Our results show that it is possible to identify hallmarks of heuristic planning with sensing in human behavior and that the use of tasks of intermediate complexity helps identify the rules underlying human ability to reason over decision hierarchies.
YouTube as a source of information about unproven drugs for Covid-19: The role of the mainstream media and recommendation algorithms in promoting misinformation

In this study, we address how YouTube videos promote misinformation about the unproven drugs for Covid-19 hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine in Brazil. Furthermore, we explore how YouTube’s recommendation system might fuel information crises. We follow two research questions. RQ1: How is pro-hydroxychloroquine content propagated on YouTube? RQ2: How does YouTube’s recommendation system suggest videos about hydroxychloroquine on the platform? We use mixed methods to explore a dataset of 751 videos collected via the YouTube API v3. We use content analysis to categorize the videos according to the content and the type of channel. We use social network analysis to explore a network based on YouTube’s recommendation of videos. We found that the majority of pro-HCQ YouTube videos in our dataset are posted by the mainstream media, most of which reproduce content from free-to-air television channels (RQ1). We also identified a tendency of homophily in the recommendations among pro-HCQ videos and that YouTube was more likely to recommend pro-HCQ videos than anti-HCQ videos (RQ2). The main contribution of our study is the identification of how the Brazilian mainstream media and YouTube’s algorithms fueled the spread of pro-HCQ content.
Social Aspects of COVID Mitigation
Authors: Shockey James W
Published: September 2021

This paper explores the factors involved in an individual’s decision to wear a mask, looking also at the relationships among a wider range of actions recommended as part of the CDC’s COVID-19 public health strategy. Using national panel data collected beginning in March 2020, we analyze the interaction among self-reported measures of adherence to public health recommendations, individual perceptions of the effectiveness of mask wearing as a mitigation strategy, and indicators of individual attitudes toward political aspects of coronavirus mitigation. Results from two distinct analytic methods suggest that compliance with protective measures is associated with the belief that the coronavirus presents a real threat to the individual, that the recommended actions are effective at limiting the spread of the virus, and that there is nothing in the social context that discourages the individual from following the guidelines.
An Investigation of Fit Criteria within MG-CFA for Examining Non-negligible Measurement Invariance
Authors: Khademi Abdolvahab
Published: September 2021

One desirable property of a measurement process or instrument is the maximum invariance of the results across subpopulations with similar distribution of the traits. Determining measurement invariance (MI) is a statistical procedure in which different methods are used given different factors, such as the nature of the data (e.g. continuous, or discrete, completeness), sample size, measurement framework (e.g. observed scores, latent variable modeling), and other context-specific factors. To evaluate the statistical results, numerical criteria are often used, derived from theory, simulation, or practice. One statistical method to evaluate MI is multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) in which the amount of change in fit indices of nested models, such as comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis fit index (TLI), and the root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA), are used to determine if the lack of invariance is non-trivial. Currently, in the MG-CFA framework for establishing MI, the recommended effect size is a change of less than 0.01 in CFI/TLI measures (Cheung & Rensvold, 2002). However, the recommended cutoff value is a very general index and may not be appropriate under some conditions, such as dichotomous indicators, different estimation methods, different sample sizes, and model complexity. In addition, in determining the cutoff value, consequences to the lack of invariance have been ignored in the current research. To address these gaps, the present research undertakes to evaluate the appropriateness of the current effect size of CFI or TLI < 0.01 in educational measurement settings, where the items are dichotomous, the item response functions follow an item response theory (IRT) model, estimation method is robust weighted least squares, and the focal and reference groups differ from each other on the IRT scale by 0.5 units (equivalent to ±1 raw score). A simulation study was performed with five (crossed) factors: percent of differential functioning items, IRT model, IRT a and b parameters, and the sample size. The results of the simulation study showed that the cutoff value of a CFI/TLI < 0.01 for establishing MI is not appropriate for educational settings under the foregoing conditions.
