PENDIDIKAN ANTI KORUPSI SEBAGAI TINDAKAN PREVENTIF PERILAKU KORUPSI
Authors: ANANTA MUHAMMAD YUSUF
Published: October 2023

Korupsi merupakan perilaku yang sudah membudaya dan fenomena ini umum di jumpai di masyarakat. Keprihatinan muncul karena pelaku korupsi ditemukan baik di lembaga pemerintah maupun swasta, serta melibatkan pimpinan lembaga yang sejatinya menjadi role model bagi generasi muda. Upaya yang telah ditempuh untuk mengurangi meningkatnya kasus korupsi adalah melalui aspek hukum. Namun upaya preventif melalui aspek pendidikan yang mampu membongkar “budaya korupsi”, belum banyak diterapkan. Pendidikan anti korupsi merupakan upaya preventif untuk membangun kesadaran dan integritas diri terhadap perilaku koruptif. Tujuan penelitian untuk memperoleh gambaran apakah pendidikan anti korupsi dapat mengembangkan kepekaan dan kepedulian mahasiswa terhadap masalah korupsi. Metode penelitian berupa penelitian tindakan melalui refleksi diri secara kolektif yang diintegrasikan dengan pendekatan student centered learning yang dilakukan secara berkelompok dan dicapai melalui tindakan kritis reflektif anggota kelompok sebagai individu yang diukur hasil belajarnya. Partisipan penelitian ini adalah 25 mahasiswa, yang berasal dari 7 fakultas. Hasil temuan yang diperoleh yaitu mahasiswa mampu mengidentifikasi tindakan koruptif berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi dan kelompok. Tindakan korupsi yang ditemukan pada mahasiswa misalnya korupsi waktu, datang terlambat, menyontek. Partisipan juga mampu mengidentifikasi dampak perilaku korupsi waktu pada individu maupun lembaga (ormawa). Partisipan menyadari dengan melakukan korupsi waktu akan mengakibatkan ‘efek domino’ dari tindakan koruptif tersebut. Pada Tahap refleksi, partisipan mengungkapkan adanya nilai-nilai integritas dalam bentuk kejujuran, bertanggungjawab dan konsistensi antara sikap dan perilaku, serta nilai agama yang diimani sebagai benteng menangkal tindakan koruptif. Pelatihan ditindaklanjuti dalam bentuk rencana aksi bagi perubahan diri yang berintegritas dan pengelolaan organisasi mahasiswa yang anti koruptif.

Reducing Weight-based Rejection: Identifying Facilitators and Barriers to Positive Social Change Using the Social Identity Approach
Authors: Rathbone Joanne , Cruwys Tegan , Jetten Jolanda , Barlow Fiona
Published: October 2023

The social identity approach provides an innovative theoretical framework to understand the systemic nature and determinants of weight stigma and discrimination. Integrating existing evidence, we discuss the need for social identity informed interventions to support the health of higher weight people and increase advocacy for equity among higher weight and advantaged groups. We outline how interventions might achieve these goals by challenging the extent to which weight-based group boundaries are perceived as permeable, and the inequity experienced by higher weight people is seen as legitimate and stable. We describe four beliefs about weight and health that present key targets for interventions, as they shape weight-based social identities and inform perceptions of the permeability of weight-based group boundaries and the legitimacy of inequity. We provide concrete directions for future research to design and evaluate new interventions aiming to promote and protect health and equity for higher weight people.
Time is a Funny Thing: Response Times and Humor Quality in a Creative Joke Production Task
Authors: Silvia Paul , Cotter Katherine N. , Christensen Alexander P.
Published: October 2023

Generating creative ideas takes time: the first idea to come to mind is usually obvious, and people need time to shift strategies, enact executive processes, and evaluate and revise an idea. The present research explored the role of time in creative humor production tasks, which give people a prompt and ask them to create a funny response. A sample of 152 young adults completed four joke stems prompts. Their response times were recorded, and the responses were judged for humor quality (funniness) by six independent judges and by the participants themselves. Mixed-effect models found that, at the within-person level, response time’s link to humor quality diverged for judges and participants. The judges’ ratings of funniness predicted longer response times (relatively funnier responses took longer to create), but participants’ self-ratings of their own responses predicted shorter response times (relatively funnier responses were created faster). Controlling for elaboration (quantified via word count of the response) diminished the effect of judge-rated humor but not participant-rated humor. Taken together, the results suggest that the role of time in humor generation is complex: judges may be weighting elaboration more heavily when judging funniness, whereas participants may be weighting metacognitive cues like ease-of-generation when judging their own ideas.
A Psychological Model Predicts Fears about Artificial Intelligence across 20 Countries and 6 Domains of Application
Authors: Dong Mengchen , Conway Jane , Bonnefon Jean-François , Shariff Azim , Rahwan Iyad
Published: October 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) often raises fears when deployed in new occupations, in a way that varies substantially across countries. Here we show that these country-level variations across occupations can be predicted by a psychological model at the individual level. Individuals fear AI in a given occupation as a function of the mismatch between psychological traits they deem necessary for an occupation, and perceived potential of AI to possess these traits. Country-level variations can then be predicted by the joint cultural variations in psychological requirements and AI potential. We validated this pre-registered prediction for six occupations (doctors, judges, managers, care workers, religious workers, and journalists), on a representative sample of 500 participants from each of 20 countries (total N = 10,000). Our findings may help develop best practices for designing and communicating about AI in a principled yet culturally sensitive way, avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches centered on Western values and perceptions.
The sensory room : Naturalistic evaluation of auditory and visual perception in developing children
Authors: Lasfargues-Delannoy Anne , Pascal Barone , Olivier Deguine , Chloé Farrer , Pascal Gaillard , Marie-Noelle Calmels
Published: October 2023

Hearing is vital in language acquisition and environmental comprehension. Understanding how children react to sensory (auditory/visual) information is essential for adapted intervention in hearing loss. Objective and subjective assessments enable auditory evaluation and hearing loss diagnosis but do not measure naturalistic perception in children. The “sensory room” was developed as a complementary sensory assessment of a child’s perception, including behavioral integration of naturalistic meaningful sounds and visual stimuli in an ecological setting. 15 normally hearing children (NHC) and 5 congenitally deaf children (DC) prior cochlear implantation aged between 13-27 months participated in this feasibility study. Participants perceived 18 environmental sounds and 9 visual stimuli and their behavioral reactions were coded (stopping, looking, movement, pointing, language, emotional).All children completed the task demonstrating its feasibility in children. NHC did not differ in their percentage of reactions to auditory or visual stimuli whereas DC did due to their sensory loss. Looking was the most prominent behavior recorded followed by stopping reactions across groups for visual stimuli. Additionally, age coincided with increased language use in NHC. This “sensory room” renders observations of how a child reacts to various auditory and visual stimuli quantifiable, providing clinicians with a measurable insight on their sensory perception.
Decomposing Fertility Rates in Australia: The Impact of changing relationship patterns and increasing singlehood
Authors: Reimondos Anna , Allen Bethan , Gray Edith , Evans Ann
Published: October 2023

Most children are born to cohabiting or married parents, and being in a relationship is generally seen as a pre-requisite to childbearing. As such, total fertility can be thought of as being influenced by the proportion of the population that is partnered, and also the fertility behaviour of those in a partnership. In Australia, as in other countries, the proportion of the population of childbearing age that is single has increased over time. This paper examines how Australian fertility rates over the last three decades, from 1991 to 2019, have been affected by changing relationship patterns, and in particular the increasing rate of singlehood. Birth registration data, perinatal statistics and census data are used to investigate relationship trends as well as how childbearing has varied over time for women who are cohabiting, married or single. We find that while the contribution of marital fertility to the total fertility rate has decreased over time, while the contribution of cohabiting fertility has increased. Over the last few decades childbearing outside of partnerships has remained low, and concentrated in the younger age groups. Using decomposition analysis, we then separate changes in fertility into rate effects and a composition effect. We find that among partnered women there has been a shift in fertility rates from younger to older ages, but overall the fertility rate within relationships has remained relatively stable. However, the changing composition of women and the decline in the proportion who are partnered has had a negative contribution to fertility levels, particularly at the younger ages.

Improving the mechanism of port handling complexes
Authors: Suglobov V.V. , Tkachuk К.V.
Published: October 2023

The issue of modernization of cargo flow mechanization schemes, while optimizing logistics costs with the aim of increasing port capacity, was considered. The process of cargo transshipment using various lifting and transport machines is studied, the schemes of complex mechanization of port terminals are presented. The main schemes of complex mechanization in the port are analyzed on the example of transportation of artificial cargo - slab. The leading link of these schemes is the gantry crane, for which a dynamic 3D model has been developed, which allows you to create a scenario of the transport operation using simulation systems. With the help of the simulator, it is possible to evaluate indicators of performance and reliability of the crane. The results of the calculations of the characteristics of the warehouse, its capacity and the layout of the slabs are given. To build a logistics algorithm for cargo transportation operations, input data (structure of freight traffic, energy costs, logistics costs), objects (lifting and transport equipment, ships, railway transport) and output information in the form of a report with simulation results are determined. The paper proposes an algorithm for the simulation model of the port transshipment complex, which allows you to visualize the technological process of transshipment operations and optimize the parameters according to the specified quality criteria. The materials of the article can be useful to specialists of the mechanization services of sea and river ports, as well as used in the educational process as tasks for laboratory, practical and course work

Published: October 2023

As a result of the research, the mineral composition of the mineralogical and petrological varieties of material of the 10-20 mm and 20-40 mm size classes of the studied ore sample was specified. Transparent and polished sections of the above-mentioned granulometric samples were prepared. Microscopic examination was carried out using a transmitted and reflected light microscope «Carl Zeiss Jena NU-2 Microscope». A description of the discovered minerals was completed. It was found that the main ore minerals of the studied ore are dispersed hematite and hydrohematite, and their amount is about 54.0% of the total volume. Microscopic analysis also revealed hydrohematite spherulites, including in the intergranular space in quartz aggregates. It is shown that secondary ore minerals in the studied raw materials are goethite and hydrogoethite. Microscopic analysis showed their content at the level of 4.0 %. The color of goethite and hydrogethite, which are represented by iron hydroxides of yellow, brown, brown and black color and their form in the form of nodular aggregates, spherulites of crusts, and nest-like aggregates, is also determined. It was found that the main non-metallic mineral in the studied raw material is quartz, the content of which is on average 30 %. This mineral in the sample of the studied ore is characterized by a variety of morphological features and a wide range of grain sizes – from several micrometers to several centimeters. Microscopic examination of quartz showed that it is represented by xenomorphic grains with a complex nature of fusions with other minerals, rounded and acute-angled grains, chalcedony (agat) grains and thin-prismatic crystals. The presence of a secondary non-ore mineral, which has clay properties and is represented by kaolinite, is also shown. An additional study was carried out, in which chalcopyrite – an additional component of iron ore raw materials – was analyzed. The conducted microscopic studies made it possible to draw a conclusion about the mineral and petrological characteristics of the raw material. It is shown that the type of iron ore of the Arabian-Nubian shield is similar to ores of volcanic-sedimentary origin and brown iron ores

Securitization of Georgia under the Saakashvili Rule
Authors: KAVADZE Amiran , KAVADZE Tina
Published: October 2023

Following the collapse of Communist regimes across Eurasia, ecuritization became a pressing problem for newly emerging democracies as ruling elites in many post-Soviet states used securitization as a shield for retaining power. This study is based on case study analyses and has two objectives: to highlight the dynamics of Georgia’s securitization process, and to show how this process corresponds to existing theoretical and empirical experience. It is evident that the formulation of threat perceptions and the decision making process in Georgia have been constructed and dominated by the elite of the United National Movement(UNM). Georgia’s move under Saakashvili’s regime on securitization has been fairly controversial – it has been responsible for both the rise and then the fall of his regime. During the last decade, Georgia under Saakashvili’s rule has represented a bright illustration of the beginning of a successful and then failed securitization process. Research shows thatsecuritization can be successful in the short run and is particularly likely to succeed in post-communist and Eurocentric countries, ruled by authoritarian or “competitive authoritarian regimes”. However, in the long run, securitization leads to the curbing of basic freedoms and the introduction of far-reaching extraordinary measures in the name of security cannot sustain itself and inevitably fails.

The contemporary authoritarianism in the post-Soviet space (case study of Belarus and Georgia under Saakashvili rule)
Authors: Kavadze Amiran
Published: October 2023

The paper describes the very essential dilemma of democracy building in the post-Soviet area: the role of elites and popular support in the absenceof institutional constraints on executive power; these tools can be used both in favor of democracy building and against it, and ultimately for the sakeof regime to maintain its power. Many post-Soviet incumbents, among them Saakashvili and Lukashenko, managed to become authoritarian rulersbecause, and not on the contrary of mass support. Divide and rule strategy helped them to overcome the resistance of plural elites and to suppressthem in the name of modernization, good governance and stability. In particular, it shows how the constraints on power can be used by the newlyelected rulers against each other and how their removal leads to power consolidation and concentration in one hand. From this perspective comparingSaakashvili and Lukashenko makes sense and reveals the shallowness of democratization approaches and rhetoric, in which these two leaders arealways considered to be at the different poles of democracy building. In the meantime, it focuses on the role of society and the phenomenon of a“good” autocrat who at the early stage can be useful for the country modernisation and then drive to the authoritarian rule, thus retaining power by allavailable means. The research also discusses the role of external powers in the observed processes and particularly Russia as sponsor and promoterof autocratic regimes in the neighbourhood
Integration of Post-Soviet Republics into NATO: Comparative Analysis of Euro-Atlantic Integration of Estonia and Georgia
Authors: Bezhitashvili Tato
Published: October 2023

Estonia and Georgia, the two former Soviet republics, at the time of the collapse of the USSR, had quite a similar experience of statecraft: they bothlived under communist rule, did not have any experience of democratic development and market relations, were approximately at the same levelof development among the 15 Soviet republics and also experienced the same pressure on awakening national identity and orientation towardsEuropean values. However, with the collapse of the USSR, very distinct tendencies emerged in these two states. If Estonia, together with otherpost-Soviet Baltic countries, took a course towards deep reformation of the country and integration with Europe and ensuring security through joiningthe North Atlantic alliance, then Georgia, under the newly elected nationalist government of Gamsakhurdia, chose the path of confrontation withnational minorities and its closest neighbors, and the building of a Common Caucasian Home (primarily with the North Caucasian republics beingpart of the Russian Federation), which led the country to a civil war, self-isolation and alienation from the West. This led to two completely differenttrajectories in the conduct of these countries in the international arena in the next three decades. The paper compares the two Euro-centric post-Sovietstates, Estonia and Georgia, in the context of NATO integration. By drawing a variety of parallels, the research refers to both historical experiences,transformational abilities, the readiness of political elites to carry out radical reforms and explores several reasons explaining differences in the Euro-Atlantic international path of Estonia and Georgia. At the same time, the article examines several external factors and particularly the Russian one,that influenced the integration path of these countries: in one case, giving the green light to joining the alliance (a case of Estonia) and, in the other,all kinds of opposition to NATO membership (a case of Georgia).

Good governance and development are dimensions of democracy for fostering equity and inclusiveness, accountability, rule of law, transparency, and the attainment of national development among others. The major purpose of the research is to examine good governance and development were institutionalized and achieved by the Bayelsa State government under Henry Seriake Dickson from 2012-2019. The study adopted structural-functional theory, descriptive research design, secondary sources of data collection and content analysis. The study among others discovered that from 2012-2019, the fundamental liberal politico-administrative values of good governance and development such as equity and inclusiveness, rule of law, accountability, vis-à-vis socio-economic and political development were not adequately addressed by the Bayelsa State government. Based on this, the study recommended that, Bayelsa State government should pursue an inclusive, people-oriented and participatory democracy to address the challenges inhibiting good governance and open up opportunities for development
Dysfunctionality of Master Signifiers in the Georgian (Political) Discourse
Authors: Amaglobeli Givi
Published: October 2023

The aim of this paper is to identify, compare and analyze the basic master signifiers within the Georgian political discourse. We will try to construct some kind of a typology of master signifiers in relation with the concept of ideology/discourse, fitting them in the main political parties’ ideological grounds. We will also try to show that the concept of the Master Signifier can be employed while analyzing any type of political realm for practical purposes. Our main task will be the general typology of Master Signifiers, with a particular focus on the Georgian political-ideological realm. Together with the master signifier, the concept of empty signifier is also given in the literature. Accordingly, there are dysfunctional master signifiers, as well. Our goal is to focus on the dysfunctional signifiers and their importance in terms of meaning creation/cancelation. At the same time, the notion should be examined in the context of ideology/power relations. Moreover, it must be considered in relation with concepts like discursive strategy, narrative, metaphor. We start with definition of the concept of Master signifier. In a very broad term, it can be defined as the main idea, the ideological basis for justifying a political behavior. The “master signifiers” define and limit the meanings of concepts and at the same time, they contain ideological views on how society should function. Master signifiers are unprovable, though guiding and justifying ideas of behavior. It is a collection of sublimated ideas. The function of the master signifier is to unify meanings and to derive a common, comprehensive and determinative final idea.

The aim of this article is to review Georgia‘s current defence policy, strategy, and planning hierarchy and suggest ways to streamline it, increase its effectiveness, and ensure a clearer link between defence policy, strategy and the defence budget. As a result of the study, it was proposed to carefully reconsider the existence of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) document in its current form (as an agency level document of the Ministry of Defence of Georgia), especially when there is a National Defence Strategy (NDS) document in the defence policy, strategy, and planning documents hierarchy. An updated hierarchy of Georgia‘s defence policy, strategy, and planning documents was proposed to provide a clearer link between defence policy and strategy and the defence budget. It does not matter much the presence of a large number of various specially (sometimes colourfully) entitled national security and defence policy and strategy documents. Rather, it is important to have a logical, simple, and understandable hierarchy of docu-ments that define, outline, and agree on national priorities and the expected role of defence and the military.

Przestępstwa dokonywane przy pomocy kasy samoobsługowej – kwalifikacja prawna czynu
Authors: Kostrzewa Kacper
Published: October 2023

Rozwój technologiczny doprowadził do wprowadzenia kas samoobsługowych w sklepach, za pomocą których sprawcy dokonują przestępstw polegających zwykle na zeskanowaniu kodu kreskowego produktu tańszego zamiast kodu towaru faktycznie kupowanego przez sprawcę. W konsekwencji powstały dwie linie orzecznicze kwalifikacji prawnej tego czynu. W artykule analizie poddane zostało wybrane orzecznictwo kwalifikujące te czyny jako oszustwo (art. 286 k.k.) albo jako kradzież (art. 119 k.w. i art. 279 k.k.) i  zostało skonfrontowane z dotychczasowym stanowiskiem doktryny i orzecznictwa. Tym samym wskazano na problemy i sprzeczności wiążące się z kwalifikacją prawną czynu jako oszustwa ze względu na brak czynnika ludzkiego, który mógłby zostać wprowadzony w błąd i doprowadzić do rozporządzenia rzeczą. Wydaje się właściwe kwalifikowanie tego typu czynów jako kradzież.
