Assessing the Effectiveness of Nuclear Threats
Authors: Alley Joshua
Published: July 2024

Do nuclear threats intimidate targets into backing down, have no impact, or provoke retaliation Existing theories and empirical evidence suggest that all three responses are possible. To answer this puzzle and explain whether, when and how people respond to nuclear threats, I synthesize existing arguments and undertake two tests. First, I use a survey experiment to examine how U.S. and German public opinion reacts to Russian, Chinese and generic nuclear threats. I then analyze how Vladimir Putin's February 27, 2022 nuclear alert impacted U.S. public support for engagement in Ukraine. These tests have complementary strengths and weaknesses, as the observational analysis may have greater external validity, while the experiment has stronger internal validity and allows me to assess mechanisms. I find that nuclear threats usually have no impact, and occasional positive or negative effects depend on threat content and context. Russian threats diminish German support for strong responses to aggression by increasing fear of crisis escalation. Nuclear signals can backfire instead, as using demonstration explosions to underline a threat sometimes provokes greater support for retaliation.
Numerical analysis of plastic deformation mechanisms in polycrystalline copper under cyclic loading with different frequencies
Authors: Filip Siska
Published: July 2024

The frequency of cyclic loading has a strong effect on the fatigue lifetime of materials. High loading frequencies allow reaching very high cycle fatigue regimes. The effects of cyclic loading with different frequencies are studied using the finite element method within the framework of crystal plasticity. The numerical study represents copper polycrystal that undergoes tension-compression loading with frequencies 80 Hz and 20 kHz respectively. The spatial distributions of stresses, strains, and plastic slip are used for estimation of volume fraction, morphology, and plasticity mechanism of persistent slip bands. The results show that at 80 Hz cyclic loading, plasticity in persistent slip band cells is dominated by the creation and annihilation of dislocations while at 20 kHz cyclic loading, plasticity is driven by the back-and-forth movement of dislocations inside the persistent slip band cells. The numerical study shows a correlation between amplitude and frequency of loading with spatial distribution and morphology of persistent slip bands that can be related to the fatigue lifetime.
The Disencapsulated Mind: A Premotor Theory of Human Imagination
Authors: Tse Peter
Published: July 2024

It is hypothesized that perceptual, motoric, and cognitive operations that were functionally distinct and modularly encapsulated in our pre-modern ancestors came to interact through a new type of cross-modular binding in our species. This demodularization allowed previously domain-dedicated, encapsulated motoric and sensory operators to operate on operands for which they had not evolved. Moreover, while such "promiscuous operators" could at times operate non-volitionally, at other times they could be governed by top-down volitional control. In particular, motoric operations that derive from the same circuits that compute motions of body parts through real space for purposes of object manipulation and bodily navigation now afforded mental manipulation by a virtual body in the absence of any physical hand or other effector movements. The creativity of human imagination and mental models is rooted in premotor simulation of sequential manipulations of objects and symbols in the mental workspace. More generally, demodularization had many cognitive consequences, one of which was that human consciousness became bifurcated into a standard chimp-like consciousness of the perceptual-somatic world, and a uniquely human consciousness of mental models about invisible causes of the apparent.

Authors: Pappaianni Edoardo , Borsarini Bianca , Berchio Cristina , Aicoboaie Stefana , Konstantopoulou Stefania V. , Van De Ville Dimitri , Micali Nadia
Published: July 2024

Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are serious psychiatric disorders characterised by impairments in neurocognition and altered brain structure. To date the majority of studies have investigated these in acutely ill or recovered individuals. Studying children at familial high risk (FHR) for psychiatric disorders allows investigating vulnerability traits or trait markers that may be present before disorder onset. Our study is the first one to examine executive function and brain structure in girls at FHR for ED (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder) compared to controls (girls not at familial high risk - HC). Methods: Forty-six (46) FHR girls (median age: 10.5 years, range: 9) and 50 HC girls (median age: 12 years, range: 8) completed a battery of neuropsychological tests assessing cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, and working memory. Structural magnetic resonance imaging assessed grey matter volume (GMV) and cortical thickness (CT). Results: Girls at FHR for ED performed a higher number of errors in a cognitive flexibility task compared to HC (β=0.15, p<0.05). They also had increased GMV in posterior regions such as the right supramarginal gyrus, middle occipital gyrus, and lingual/fusiform gyrus compared to HC (p<0.05 cluster-level FWE-corrected), as well as increased CT in the left transverse pole (p<.001) and right posterior cingulate cortex (p<0.05).Conclusions: Girls at FHR show characteristic neurocognitive performance similar to that seen in individuals with ED, as well as differences in brain structure compared to HC. Our findings, together with previous evidence, highlight impairment in cognitive flexibility as a possible trait marker of ED. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm differences in GMV and CT identified in this study.

Authors: Niechcial Malwina A. , Dickson Adele , Potter Lauren M , Gow Alan J.
Published: July 2024

Background: An active and engaged lifestyle is beneficial for older adults’ health. However, there are many potential facilitators and barriers of engagement in leisure activities.Methods: Twenty-two older adults aged 69-81 (59% female) participated in one of four focus groups approximately 2-3 years after their previous participation in an activity-based intervention study. Discussions explored the facilitators and barriers to continued engagement in: 1) activities people were supported to try during the intervention study, 2) leisure activities generally, 3) new activities, and 4) reengagement after a break of any duration.Results: Deductive thematic analysis grouped participants’ responses into internal and external facilitators and barriers relating to the four types of engagement.Discussion: The study helps in understanding why leisure activities are important to older adults and the purpose they fulfil. It is important that older adults have access to valued, fulfilling activities, and local authorities should prioritise increasing their provision.
Pandemic Pass? Treaty Derogations and Human Rights Practices During COVID-19
Authors: Chaudhry Suparna , Comstock Audrey L. , Heiss Andrew
Published: July 2024

This research note asks whether states issuing pandemic-era human rights treaty derogations implemented emergency provisions as intended or used them to abuse human rights during a time of crisis. In an effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries declared states of emergency and derogated (temporarily suspended) from their international human rights treaty obligations. Using data from the Varieties of Democracy PanDem dataset and the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, we find that states that derogated from their international human rights obligations imposed emergency measures that were temporary and did not violate non-derogable rights. On the other hand, states that did not derogate were more likely impose discriminatory measures, enact emergency measures without time limits and violate non-derogable rights. Our results support the role that flexibility mechanisms such as derogations play in international law and show that states are being sincere about their intentions and not, generally, using these mechanisms to cover abusive behavior.

Ekopieseň – špecifická forma environmentálnej komunikáci
Authors: Huťková Anita
Published: July 2024

The paper focuses on the communication of ecological or environmental issues through a specific form of popular songs. The research sample consists mainly of songs for children, but there are also songs for young people. For comparison, we have also included a song primarily intended for adults in the corpus. Several songs are also part of smaller musicals that support the content with scenic components and frequently with movement artistic means (dance). As a result, visualisation becomes an important accompanying component of the ‘sonically realised’ genre on the way to apperception and positive reception by the listener/viewer. The purpose of this paper is to provide answers to the following questions: What characteristics/signs define eco-song? What environmental or ecological issues do Slovak eco-songs address? The samples are subjected to linguistic-stylistic and pragmatic analysis regarding the presentation of dominant textual and extra-textual factors. The mapping of the situation also outlines the communicative potential of this accessible song genre.

Published: July 2024

Time delays are pervasive in construction projects, posing significant challenges in cost and quality management. This issue is particularly pronounced in government-funded affordable housing initiatives, which operate on limited budgets while striving to maximize community benefits. Such projects often rely on presale models where time overruns breed customer dissatisfaction. By examining a specific project undertaken by the Urban Development Authority, this study aims to uncover the root causes of delays, both internal and external, in ABC Residencies. Data collection was conducted through the study of project documents and interviews with the project team. Data analysis was performed through content analysis. It was found that employer-related factors internal to the project, such as scope changes and changes in external infrastructure work, and contractor-related factors internal to the project, such as the scarcity of skilled labor and project planning delays, contributed to the delays. Other internal factors included communication pitfalls. External factors causing delays included political risks, unexpected adverse weather conditions, unexpected social conditions, immediate neighborhood conditions, and unexpected global conditions. By identifying the causes of time delays, this study aims to inform future projects, enabling better planning and execution to minimize time overruns and their associated impacts.
ANTHROPOCENTRISM AND CULTURAL RELATIVISM
Authors: R. T. Sevmini
Published: July 2024

In an increasingly globalized world, different cultures intersect and the pursuit of social harmony remains a prominent goal more than ever. Cultural relativism is emerging as an essential framework for fostering mutual respect and cooperation in a society divided by anthropocentric ideas. Accordingly, this study discusses the need to embrace cultural relativism rather than ethnocentrism in order to create a harmonious society in which different cultural perspectives are not only accepted but also valued. The main objective of this research is to study the impact of anthropocentrism and cultural relativism on social cohesion in contemporary societies and a qualitative methodology was used for that study. That is, theoretical understanding through reference to literary sources and personal narratives of cultural perceptions and interactions through case studies and interviews. Social harmony is important in multicultural societies, but the findings suggest that ethnocentrism is often divisive by promoting the belief that one's own culture is superior, while, in contrast, cultural relativism is encouraged by valuing cultural diversity. It also recognizes how cultural relativism can foster a greater appreciation of diverse ethnic traditions, but its implementation is often challenged by social, political pressures, and personal biases. Therefore, in order to maximize the benefits of cultural relativism, awareness of the principles of cultural relativism and the negative effects of ethnocentrism through community programs, developing thinking and empathy, providing intercultural training, etc. can overcome the barriers of ethnocentrism and build a harmonious world that values ​​and celebrates all cultures.

Published: July 2024

The article conducts a comprehensive study of the theoretical provisions of personal security management as a paradigm of sustainable development of gender-oriented budgeting in Ukraine, everywhere through the prism of the conceptual aspect. It is substantiated that the closer the concept is to its original conceptualization in terms of the set of threats, the more complex both the policy and the concept of personal security management become. It has been proven that the management of personal safety is formed by the combination of two elements – protection and empowerment of individuals. It was determined that for the European Union, the management of personal security is a narrative that includes the goals and methods of an extremely diverse system of external security policy, which has a presentational form of discussions about security to various audiences, both public and professional sectors. The essence and interpretation of the concept of "gender" is determined, unlike a biological feature, it is a socio-role and cultural trait of the personality and behavior patterns of men and women to ensure gender equality at the national level, taking into account the gender relations that have developed in society for the development of the most effective mechanisms, elimination of gender stereotypes and prejudices, ensuring and confirming the successful development of the activities of state authorities, political parties, and civil organizations. The compliance of the budget policy model with the requirements of a socially secure state is delineated by the powers in gender-oriented budgeting on the subject of the activation of women in the social sphere and their place at all levels of power, as well as the systematization of legislative norms and requirements of international law and gender balance in the field of social sphere and budget policy , which is implemented within the framework of public administration.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a patient-family-shared care program in delaying the progression of chronic kidney disease (PFS-DCKD-P) in uncontrolled type 2 diabetic patients within Phrae province, Thailand.Material and Methods: In this quasi-experimental research, twenty-three patient-family member dyads in the intervention group completed the 16-week PFS-DCKD-P; while twenty-two patient-family member dyads of the control group received a regular program. Outcomes included: patients’ shared care, family members’ shared care and the clinical outcomes, which were chronic kidney disease clinical indexes (CKDC-Indexes). Differences were compared within the groups before and after participating in the program as well as differences between groups after participating in the program. Descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and independent t-test statistics were used for data analysis.Results: The patients’ shared care of a decision-making component and a reciprocity component, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and blood sugar (BS) after program participation were higher than before in the intervention group (p-value<0.05). When compared between groups, the SBP of the intervention group was lower than the control group (p-value<0.05). There were no statistical differences of patients’ and family members’ shared care mean scores between the two groups. However, family members’ shared care of the communication component was increased in the intervention group (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: The PFS-DCKD-P showed no explicit effectiveness on improving shared care for both patients and family members, nor for CKDC-Indexes. Further studies should optimize each program activity and encourage more consistent participation from family members.
