Novgorod Counter Histories around 1700. The Story about Ivan the Terrible’s Raid of Novgorod Reconsidered
Authors: Soldat Cornelia
Published: September 2022

Muscovite chronicle material is very disparate about Ivan the Terrible’s Raid of Novgorod in 1570. Novgorod and Pskov Chronicles show Ivan’s brutal behavior in detail. In this article I argue that in the second half of the 17th century many chronicles were reworked in order to support an open discussion about dissatisfaction with the tsarist government in Novgorod and Pskov. Chronicle writing was used to disseminate the image of the terrible tsar Ivan. This image functioned as an allegory for the tsars of the end of the 17th century who were under pressure from a wider public that criticized autocracy. In this way, I am writing a nonlinear history of late Muscovy in which a historical figure like Ivan figured as a distorted allegorical image of a tyrannical tsar destroying the ancient régime. This history is non-linear in the sense that it puts some of the sources claiming to be from the reign of Ivan the Terrible (1530–1584) into the context in which they were used in later times. The history is linear in the sense that it begins with the oldest and ends with the youngest sources. In this way the story of history writing can be grasped in a historical-linear way, repeating a story and subtly modifying it according to the demands of the day of the writing of the later sources and so on.
The Editorial Profession: The Rise of Private Newspaper Press in Late Imperial Russia
Authors: Graff Ala C.
Published: September 2022

In the course of the nineteenth century, Russia’s press culture underwent a dramatic cultural, technological, and political transformation. However, the question of professionalization of the press during the same period remains relatively underexplored. This article examines the extent and the limitations of editorial professionalization in nineteenth-century Russia by focusing on an emergent generation of private newspaper editors such as M.N. Katkov, A.A. Kraevskii, I.S. Aksakov, and A.S. Suvorin during the 1860s and 1870s. The article explores the emergence of a private opinion press during the 1860s with substantial autonomy in the commercial management of their newspapers, but a censorship-restricted autonomy in the management of their content. It then examines the elements of an emerging professional ethos and solidarity in the editorial profession. Drawing on a wealth of correspondence, editorials, and diaries, this work reveals the delicate world of personal relationships which allowed editors to balance both the strictures of political censorship and the account books of their commercial enterprises. This paper argues that a limited professional autonomy and considerable competition among influential editors – i.e press lords – constrained the professionalization of the journalism in pre-Revolutionary Russia.

Published: September 2022

The objective of this study was to characterize the morphological and physiological attributes of eight genotypes of sideoats grama. Seven native Mexican genotypes of Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.) Torr. (Poaceae) were collected in various parts of México and compared with a commercial variety (El Reno), which was used as a control. Plants were collected at six different stages: 50, 65, 80, 95, 110, and 125 days after sowing (das). We evaluated their morphological composition, aerial part:root ratio, growth rate (GR), specific leaf area (SLA), and net assimilation rate (NAR). Data were analyzed as a completely randomized block design with five replications; means were compared with the Tukey test (P<0.05). Regarding morphological composition, significant differences were observed in all genotypes for all stages (P<0.01). Genotypes 62 and 181 collected at 125 das showed a higher stem proportion when compared to the other morphological components. Genotypes 303, 125, and 5 showed the lowest proportions in root (P<0.05). The aerial part:root ratio was higher in genotype 303 (P<0.05). The root growth rate values obtained were similar among the proposed genotypes (P>0.05); however, all proposed genotypes presented higher values than El Reno (P<0.05). Likewise, the aerial part growth ratio values obtained showed that proposed genotypes presented higher values than El Reno (P<0.05). The results presented in this study show that genotypes 303, 125, and 5 had superior forage characteristics when compared to the commercial variety El Reno. These make such genotypes suitable species to be used in livestock activity.

Colony collapse disorder: A peril to apiculture
Authors: Nikita  , Grover Aseem , Kalia Preeti , Sinha Reshma , Garg Pratibha
Published: September 2022

Apiculture has become a profitable profession due to the high economic importance of honey and various beehive products. Honeybees are tiny social insects that perform a crucial function in the agricultural field and are necessary for good yields. Honeybees are the biological indicators of environmental health. Unforeseen rapid decrease in honeybee numbers characterized by the departure of honeybees from the colonies and accompanied by the total absence of any dead bees in the hive surrounding and inside it suggests a condition called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Pesticides, pathogens, and other ecological stresses such as nutritional deficiency may add to bee extinction or CCD. Besides this, the exposure to low-level radiofrequency and microwave radiations from mobile phones also have profound undesirable effects on honeybees. Research has shown changes in biology and behaviour which includes some undesirable changes in the biomolecules concentration in honeybees because of radiation exposure. Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF- EMF ) also affects honeybee`s immune system and navigation activities. The radiation induces emotional disturbance and genetic disorders in brood which attributes to a decline in the breeding efficiency of bees. The present review is an attempt to compile the causes of CCD and discuss the management practices to be followed by the beekeepers to avoid the devastating loss to them and the planet Earth.
Selection of traits for seed yield improvement through variability parameters in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes.
Authors: Sundari K. Sudha , Vasline Y. Anitha , Saravanan K.
Published: September 2022

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) was renowned in the ancient ages for the stability of its healthy oil, accessibility of extraction, and drought resilience. Consequently, to produce novel varieties, the present work entails the utilization of basic metrics of variability and genetic variation. The investigation included 60 sesame genotypes and 13 quantitative characteristics. The analysis of variance revealed that genotypes were significant for all of the parameters assessed (P>0.05 and P>0.01). The average seed yield per plant was 6.93g, ranging from 4.84 to 9.17g. In all of the traits studied, the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was greater than the genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV). The tense relationship between PCV and GCV values indicated that the environment had minimal impact on the expression of the traits under investigation. The no. of branches, no. of capsules/axil, capsules per plant, no. of seeds per capsule, and oil content suggested higher estimations of PCV and GCV. The heritability varied from 75.13% for seed width to 99.03% for no. of capsules/axil. The genetic advance (GA) percent means varied from 7.71 (seed length) to 110.93 (no. of capsules/axil) at 5% selection intensity. plant height, no. of branches, 1000 seed weight, capsule length, capsules per plant, no. of seeds per capsule, seed thickness, oil content, and seed yield per plant all showed substantial heredity and a high GA% mean. Because of this, the traits of additive genetic control and direct selection in sesame have a high potential for increasing its yield.

Authors: C Shamina , R Durai Singh , Ramessh Chelvi , P Saravana Pandian , R Renuka
Published: September 2022

Weed seed bank in soil serves as the reservoir of weed seeds which emerge whenever conditions become conducive and affects crop growth.  In the present study, a field experiment was performed at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Madurai, India, during Kharif 2021 and Rabi 2022 to determine weed seed bank present in soil by direct seed extraction using the sieving method at discrete depths of 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm and 10-15 cm after rice harvest with reference to different weed management practices imposed and its effect on weed population in succeeding crop. The average proportion of weeds that emerged in the field ranged from 9 to 38 % of the total weed seed bank. Weed management practices followed during the preceding crop greatly influenced weed seed germination. The higher weed seed reserve (1384 m-2) and consequent weed population (528 no’s m-2) were found at a depth of 0-5 cm in unweeded plots. The lower weed seed density (536 m-2) and weed population (94 no’s m-2) were found in pre emergence application of Pyrazosulfuron + Pretilachlor and early post emergence application of Bispyripac sodium. The results from the present study confirmed that herbicide treatment considerably minimized the weed seed density and population, which will assist in predicting weed infestation and appropriate timing of weed control.
Influence of zeolite on heavy metal immobilization in municipal solid waste compost contaminated soil
Authors: T Naveenkumar , M R Backiyavathy , T Chitdeshwari , M Maheshwari , T Saraswathi , A Lakshmanan
Published: September 2022

The application of Municipal solid waste as compost (MSWC) in agricultural fields has become one of the most common practices. Besides its benefits, it poses some harmful effects on soil, as it increases the heavy metal content in MSWC of the soil. It is necessary to find a way to reduce the bioavailability of heavy metals in MSWC  before its application into the soil. This study aimed at exploring the efficiency of zeolite as an immobilizer to dwindle heavy metal bioavailability. An incubation experiment was conducted wherein the soil samples were artificially spiked with different rates of MSWC (0, 5, and 10 t ha-1). The zeolite was added to the spiked soil at 5 different levels, namely 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 %, and their effect on bioavailable heavy metal status was observed during different incubation intervals (0, 15. 30, 60, 90, and 120 days). Results unveiled that applying 10% zeolite significantly (P<0.05) reduced the bioavailability of lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni)  to Below the detectable limit (Bdl) in all soil samples. Furthermore, the organic carbon status of soil was also enriched by MSWC and 10% zeolite application. The soil pH slightly increased (7.39) with applying 10% zeolite resulting in the immobilization of heavy metals. Hence, 10% zeolite application was one of the most effective immobilizers in eliminating the bioavailability of heavy metals. Therefore, it can be concluded that mixing zeolite with MSWC before applying it to crop fields can reduce the heavy metal overload in soil. Hence, this study highlights the potential of zeolite as an effective choice in dwindling the soil's bioavailability of heavy metal content.

Analysis of Turkish Middle School Mathematics Textbooks in Terms of Opportunities to Learn “Area Measurement”
Authors: Ayyildiz Hayrunnisa , Aktaş Meral Cansiz
Published: September 2022

This study aims to examine the 5th- and 6th-grade mathematics textbooks approved by the Turkish Ministry of National Education for the 2021–2022 academic year in terms of the opportunities to learn provided in the sub-learning domain of “Area Measurement.” A document analysis was performed as a part of this study. Consistent with the aim of the study, educational content (instructions, worked examples, exercises, activities, and unit evaluation) related to the area measurement sub-learning domain in five different 5th- and 6th-grade mathematics textbooks were examined in terms of the learning opportunities they offered. Dedoose, a web-based program, was used in the data collection phase of the study. The data analysis revealed that in the examined textbooks, the tasks on the topic of area measurement have an emphasis on procedural knowledge. It was determined that the activities and worked examples in the examined textbooks on the said topic had only one outcome and one solution method. In terms of contextual features, textbook tasks on the topic of area measurement were found to be mostly intra-mathematical. In light of the findings, certain recommendations were made.

Bayesian Deep Multi-Agent Multimodal Reinforcement Learning for Embedded Systems in Games, Natural Language Processing and Robotics
Authors: Kourouklides Ioannis
Published: September 2022

Nowadays, Machine Learning is one of the most dynamic fields, as it attracts strong research interest from both industry and academia alike. It is not surprising that a huge amount of funding from government agencies, universities, Tech giants and well-funded startups is currently being allocated exclusively to this field. Reinforcement Learning, one of the three major subfields of Machine Learning, has recently gained a tremendous traction due to the fact that algorithms can run more efficiently. This is mainly due to two reasons, firstly affordable and portable hardware, such as mobile phones, wearables and Internet of Things devices, now has the capacity to run these algorithms and secondly, new methods and models are being proposed that deal with the matter of efficiency from an algorithmic point of view. This proposal is concerned with dealing with open challenges in memory efficiency, while devising and applying such Reinforcement Learning algorithms for embedded systems in the domains of Games, Natural Language Processing and Robotics using Deep Learning models and Bayesian inference, a very powerful framework. Natural Language Processing is a domain of Machine Learning in which the input is given in the form of a text from a natural language that human agents use for everyday communication. It is also a domain that still faces a series of ongoing challenges, as opposed to more saturated domains, such as Computer Vision. One of them is the fact that ground truth is difficult to be decided due to the nature of text in general. Other challenges include the personalized type and tone of the conversation held by the human agents, such as formal, informal, aggressive, polite, etc. Therefore, this proposal deals with all of these matters, mainly in the subdomain of Question Answering systems, also known as chatbots, in a multi-agent setting.
Calling time on alien plantscapes
Authors: Gillman Lennard , Bollard Barbara , Leuzinger Sebastian
Published: September 2022

Both urban and rural environments around the globe have become dominated by alien plant species to the extent that plantscapes from one region or country have become difficult to distinguish from many others. This process of plant community homogenisation comes at a cost to cultural identity and undermines people’s sense of place. Although invasive alien plant species have received considerable attention in recent decades, issues with non-invasive alien plant species have largely been ignored, and yet they contribute significantly to biotic homogeneity and impose an ever accumulating invasion debt: a debt that increases in proportion with their population sizes. By contrast, an abundance of native species in the places where people live is important for strengthening commitment to biodiversity conservation. Is there therefore sufficient evidence of harm from increasing numbers of non-invasive alien plants to justify local and central governments introducing measures to substantially reduce the proportion of non-invasive aliens in both urban and rural environments?
Guiding Principles for Implementing Stepped Care in Mental Health: Aligning on the Bigger Picture
Authors: Mughal Sarah , Salmon Amy , Churchill Annmarie , Tee Karen , Jaouich Alexia , Shah Jai
Published: September 2022

Stepped care models have the potential to provide a much needed framework for the development of comprehensive mental health systems. However, definitions of stepped care lack consistency, resulting in varying interpretations reflected in its implementation. To help foster greater alignment in research and practice, we propose a set of principles for stepped care which can provide guidance on how to bridge multiple mental health services together, reduce fragmentation, and respond to the full breadth of mental health needs along a continuum of care in diverse settings. We hope that articulating these principles will spur mental health stakeholders to translate them into actionable standards.

A systematic review of experimental studies evaluating anti-racist program techniques for children and adolescents
Authors: Weems Carl , McCurdy Bethany H. , Scozzafava Mikaela D. , Pina Armando A. , Varela R. Enrique
Published: September 2022

This systematic review synthetizes studies using experimental designs and evaluating techniques theorized to foster the development of anti-racism among youth in school settings (19 published reports; 23 independent studies; participant ages 3 to 19 years old, primarily White). Our goal herein was to identify unique program components, design elements, outcome measures; and to critically evaluate the extant studies in terms of potential public health impact. A number of specific programing elements were distilled that may be included in future interventions. Overall, interventions that leveraged cognitive and educational components to help increase positive outgroup contact seemed most promising. However, most of the studies testing such programs lacked methodological robustness (e.g., probable gaps in internal validity from the absence of intervention manuals or equivalent, fidelity checks, reliance on outcome measures with unknown psychometric properties, follow-up designs). Future research would benefit from establishing adherence to implementation (fidelity to protocol), including pre, post and follow-up assessments, as well as using outcome measures appropriate for determining both short-term and long-term change. There is a clear need for the funding of technique development, manualized programing for delivery, rigorous evaluation of these with standardized outcome measures, and adequately powered studies testing outcomes across development.
Differences in "what it's like" to have perceptual, bodily, emotional and mental experiences are related to voluntary control over information and body movements
Authors: O'Regan J. Kevin
Published: September 2022

This article accounts for two of the most fundamental aspects of “what it’s like” to have an experience, thereby showing a path towards solving the “meta”-”hard problem” of phenomenal consciousness.One fundamental aspect of “what it’s like” to have an experience is that experiences have qualities rather than no qualities. Among the qualities, the most fundamental are the fact that experiences are classifiable as being of an “external” (perceptual), an “internal” (interoceptive, bodily or emotional) or of a “mental” kind. A second fundamental aspect of “what it’s like” seems to be that experiences impose themselves upon us: they seem “present” to us -- they feel like something rather than feeling like nothing.Both these aspects of “what it’s like” can be accounted for in terms of the degree to which we can voluntarily control what we are doing when we engage in an experience. The external/internal/mental dimension is determined by how our voluntary bodily actions can influence sensorimotor flow of information. The imposingness of experiences and their “spatio-temporal presence” is determined by how our voluntary actions are impeded or assisted by innate, attention-grabbing mechanisms.
Commuting Demands and Appraisals: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Strain and Wellbeing Outcomes
Authors: Murphy Lauren D , Cobb Haley R. , Rudolph Cort , Zacher Hannes
Published: September 2022

Research on commuting to and from work and its potential consequences for employee strain and wellbeing has accumulated across various disciplines. However, this has led to a narrow research scope with wide methodological variability. An integration of this literature is needed to understand the breadth of the commuting experience and interpret heterogeneous findings. Drawing upon and extending the transactional stress model, we propose that commuting is a demand that can have both negative and positive effects on outcomes through commuting appraisals. We present a systematic review (i.e., based on k = 109 studies) and meta-analysis (i.e., based on k = 39 studies) of these relationships. Our systematic review finds partial support for our hypotheses. Supplementing this, our meta-analysis suggests that objective commuting demands (i.e., time spent commuting to work) are positively associated with strain outcomes (rxy = .089; especially perceived stress, rxy = .153), but unrelated to wellbeing outcomes. Subjective commuting appraisals are unrelated to strain or wellbeing outcomes. We conclude with recommendations for methodological improvements and implications for research and practice.
Does Networking Make People Feel “Dirty”? Reconsidering the Evidence in Casciaro, Gino, Kouchaki, 2014
Authors: Ziani Zoe
Published: September 2022

In 2014, Casciaro, Gino, and Kouchaki published an influential paper (hereafter referred to as CGK) for our understanding of networking behaviors. Specifically, the paper offered experimental evidence that people view networking actions as morally impure, which leads them to feel physically dirty when networking, which ultimately heightens the mental accessibility of cleansing-related concepts. In the present paper, I challenge the theoretical premise and the empirical evidence presented in CGK. To that end, I present a well-powered pre-registered experiment aimed at 1) replicating CGK’s main effect, 2) replicating the psychological mechanism that underpins CGK’s finding (i.e., the Macbeth Effect), and 3) establishing a “maximum positive control” (Hilgard, 2021) for any effect of networking on people’s desire for cleansing. This experiment reveals a null result on the effect documented by CGK (d = .02), a null result on the Macbeth effect (d = .02), and a maximum positive control effect that is much smaller than the original finding reported in CGK (d = .51 vs. d = .98). I finally discuss other incidental issues in CGK, and conclude that there is no evidence that people experience physical dirtiness when networking.
Government in the Money View: Sovereign Debt, Liquidity Preference, and the Fiscal-Monetary Nexus
Authors: Eichacker Nina
Published: September 2022

In times of financial crisis, we expect monetary authorities to provide liquidity support to banks at risk of failure. However, governments often provide monetary support to banks at risk of failure through guarantees and direct lending to financial institutions, often in tandem with monetary authorities. At the same time, governments may require liquidity support in moments of crisis, when cyclical deficits rise, and bond market activity constrains access to funding. This paper introduces governments’ activity into both the Post-Keynesian theory of endogenous money as well as Mehrling’s ‘Money View’ of the economy. It demonstrates how government activity becomes more important during periods of heightened liquidity preference through its support of financial institutions, while governments may simultaneously become more vulnerable to private bondholders increased liquidity preference. Some governments are likely to face greater obstacles in providing liquidity and accessing funding in times of economic uncertainty, while others may find their ability to provide liquidity is bolstered by popular perceptions of their credit worthiness. Recent experiences during the Global Financial Crisis, the Eurozone Crisis, and the COVID-19 Crisis illustrate the importance of understanding the monetary and financial factors that may constrain governments’ abilities to fund deficits, especially given the importance of fiscal expenditure as a stabilizing economic force, or as a potential driver of economic development.
The Vienna Gestapo, 1938-1945: Crimes, Perpetrators, Victims
Authors: Boeckl-Klamper Elisabeth , Mang Thomas , Neugebauer Wolfgang
Published: September 2022

The Vienna Gestapo headquarters was the largest of its kind in the German Reich and the most important instrument of Nazi terror in Austria, responsible for the persecution of Jews, suppression of resistance and policing of forced labourers. Of the more than fifty thousand people arrested by the Vienna Gestapo, many were subjected to torturous interrogation before being either sent to concentration camps or handed over to the Nazi judiciary for prosecution. This comprehensive survey by three expert historians focuses on these victims of repression and persecution as well as the structure of the Vienna Gestapo and the perpetrators of its crimes.
Françoise Héritier
Authors: Gaillard Gérald
Published: September 2022

Follows the life of French anthropologist Françoise Héritier, who had a lasting impact on a generation of French anthropologists that continues to this day. A great intellectual figure, Françoise Héritier succeeded Claude Lévi-Strauss as the Chair of Anthropology at the Collège de France in 1982. She was an Africanist, author of magnificent works on the Samo population, the scientific progenitor of kinship studies, the creator of a theoretical base to feminist thought and an activist for many causes. “I read this intellectual biography of Françoise Héritier with great pleasure. Though highly regarded in France, she is not yet well known in English-language academic circles, but she certainly should be. This book will be a revelation to many anthropologists and feminist scholars.”—Adam Kuper, London School of Economics From the Forword by Michelle Perrot: I came to know her at the National Council for HIV, that she chaired from 1989 to 1994…. Her theoretical concerns were also crucial to the understanding of pandemics, but we did not then realise that HIV/AIDS was also a precursor and a warning of pandemics to come. She grasped the importance of conceptions of bodily ‘humours’—blood, semen, milk—that seemed to play a role in the horrific spread of an epidemic of which we knew nothing, except that it resulted in an appalling mortality rate, particularly among young men…. she was a remarkable chair, concerned to share her insights into the illness and to anchor—necessary—interventions within a framework that would be respectful of human rights.

Geleneksel Yapı Kurgusunun Yeniden Yorumlanması Üzerine Trabzon’da Bir Uygulama Deneyimi: Hg Evi
Authors: ŞAHİN Fatih
Published: September 2022

Trabzon Akçaabat ilçesinde inşa edilecek olan HG Evi; Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi, Döner Sermaye İşletme Müdürlüğü üzerinden gelen bir konut tasarımı projesidir. Bölgede yer alan geleneksel konut dokusunun plan, kesit, görünüş ve vaziyet düzleminde öne çıkan detayların yeniden yorumlandığı HG Evi, sonraki nesillere fikirsel ve düşünsel anlamda çıkarımlar yapabilecekleri, geleneksel mekansal ilişkileri yeniden değerlendirmeyi amaçlayan bir konut kompleksidir. Bu projenin amacı, çevresiyle uyumlu, doğayla bütünleşen ve geleneksel yapı kurgusu üzerinden, özgün fikir üretilerek mimari yorumunun yakalanmasıdır. Bu yüzden tasarlanan kütlenin var olan dokunun içerisinde kaybolması, kullanılan cephe, strüktür vb. malzemelerinin mümkün olduğunca yerel ve doğal malzemelerden seçilmesi gibi yaklaşımlar, projenin en az fonksiyonel bütünlüğü ve akıcılığı kadar önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada çevresel bilgiyi tasarım sürecine taşımayı, bilim ile sezgiyi yönlendirmeyi hedefleyen yöntemlerden biri olarak mekan örgütlenmesinin tasarım sürecinde bir araç olarak kullanılma potansiyeli üzerinde durulmaktadır. HG Evinin geleneksel konutun yeniden yorumlanmasını içeren kütlesel oluşum ile bütünleşen detay çözüm önerileri mekan dizilimi, mekanın ilişkisel, konfigürasyonel özelliklerine odaklanarak mekanı ve içinde gerçekleşen yaşamı deşifre etmeyi hedeflemektedir. Geleneksel yapı kurgusundan beslenen HG Evi, biçimselliği ve mekan örgütlenmesinin tasarım sürecinde kullanılma potansiyelinin irdelenmesi, kütlesel ve çözüm odaklı bulguların yeniden yorumlanmasını ön plana çıkarmaktadır.

Authors: Letova Nataliya V.
Published: September 2022

The article discusses the problematic aspects of the realization of the child's right to housing, which was acquired at the expense of the maternity capital. The author examines the issues arising in practice in connection with the obligation of parents to conclude agreements on determining the shares in the right to housing, analyzes the main difficulties associated with its conclusion, determining its legal essence, presents the main approaches to determining the shares of the parties to the agreement. The author substantiates the need to allocate the housing status of a child, proves that its content is formed, among other things, by the norms of a special law on maternity capital, and suggests ways to protect the housing rights of a child in case of acquisition of housing by means of maternity capital
POMDP-Based Adaptive Interaction Through Physiological Computing
Authors: Singh Gaganpreet , Roy Raphaëlle N. , Chanel Caroline P.C.
Published: September 2022

In this study, a formal framework aiming to drive the interaction between a human operator and a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is experimentally tested. The goal is to enhance human performance by controlling the interaction between agents based on an online monitoring of the operator’s mental workload (MW) and performance. The proposed solution uses MW estimation via a classifier applied to cardiac features. The classifier output is introduced as a human MW state observation in a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) which models the human-system interaction dynamics, and aims to control the interaction to optimize the human agent’s performance. Based on the current belief state about the operator’s MW and performance, along with the mission phase, the POMDP policy solution controls which task should be suggested -or not- to the operator, assuming the UAVs are capable of supporting the human agent. The framework was evaluated using an experiment in which 13 participants performed 2 search and rescue missions (with/without adaptation) with varying workload levels. In accordance with the literature, when the adaptive approach was used, the participants felt significantly less MW, physical and temporal demands, frustration, and effort, and their flying score was also significantly improved. These findings demonstrate how such a POMDP-based adaptive interaction control can improve performance while reducing operator workload.
A Sequence-Based Dialog Management Framework for Co-Regulated Dialog
Authors: Kunneman Florian , Hindriks Koen V.
Published: September 2022

We propose SUPPLE (Sequence-Update Pattern-Based Processing with Logical Expansions), a new dialog management framework that takes the core concept of a dialog sequence as its main starting point. SUPPLE naturally enables the integration of the flexible and re-usable conversation patterns from the Natural Conversation Framework (NCF). Whereas NCF primarily provides a design framework, we developed a dialog engine and authoring framework that builds on the notion of a pattern for specifying sequence structure. In our approach we combine patterns with the key concepts of update strategies and agenda adopted from the Information State Update (ISU) approach. The main contributions of our work are the introduction of concepts and mechanisms for automatically managing dialog sequences. The framework is implemented as a cognitive agent, and we show through a cooking assistant case study how the agent keeps track of a recipe instruction agenda while allowing for user- as well as agent-initiated sequence expansions. conversational agents to co-regulate the conversation and thus allows for more flexibility.
pEncode: A Tool for Visualizing Pen Signal Encodings in Real-Time

Published: September 2022

Many features have been proposed for encoding the input signal from digital pens and touch-based interaction. They are widely used for analyzing and classifying handwritten texts, sketches, or gestures. Although they are well defined mathematically, many features are non-trivial and therefore difficult to understand for a human. In this paper, we present an application that visualizes a subset from 114 digital pen features in real-time while drawing. It provides an easy-to-use interface that allows application developers and machine learning practitioners to learn how digital pen features encode their inputs, helps in the feature selection process, and enables rapid prototyping of sketch and gesture classifiers.

Authors: Akanda M. Aminul Islam
Published: September 2022

This study evaluated growth experiences and identified policy gaps with Bangladesh compared to a few advanced Asian countries. It used secondary data over 120 years in retrospect along with projection to some extent. Whether would Bangladesh be able to enter into subsequent stages along linear stages growth model was a major research question. Bangladesh entered into the third of five stages in the early 1990s. On the other hand, Malaysia reached at the fourth and South Korea at the fifth stage. Bangladesh was too envisioned to reach at peak within 20 years with creative industries and demographic dividend. Some industrial conglomerates and new industries were expanded here in the 2000s. This economy would soon enter into fourth stage satisfying stage-specific indicators like two other economies. It had some policy gaps identified through comparison of stage-specific policies and strategies with others. However, its government, in the second perspective plan (2021-2041), emphasized on ICT based product-innovation and job creation in industry 4.0. Major challenges to moving forward in here was to reducing gaps between planned and actual development.

Murakami’nin Sahilde Kafka ve Kumandanı Öldürmek Romanlarındaki Oedipus Kompleksi ve Tekinsizlik
Authors: DEPCİ Aytemis
Published: September 2022

Murakami’nin Sahilde Kafka ve Kumandanı Öldürmek romanlarındaki başkişilerin bastırılmış duygu ve kaygılarının Freud’un Oedipus kompleksi, kastrasyon anksiyetesi ve tekinsizlik kavramı bağlamında irdelenmesi bu çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Romanların anlatıcısı konumunda olan bu başkişilerin ortak özelliklerine bakıldığında her iki karakterin de toplumdan izole olmuş, hayatlarındaki önemli birilerini yitirmiş ve benliklerini bulmak isteyen bireyler oldukları görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada başkişilerin psişelerindeki oedipal çatışmalar üzerinde durularak barındırdıkları ortak anlamlar irdelenecek ve bu romanlardaki tekinsizlik duygusunun nasıl ve nerede ortaya çıktığı tartışılacaktır. Murakami’nin Sahilde Kafka romanında Kafka adlı başkişi babasının yapmış olduğu oedipal kehanet sonucunda Oedipus’un kaderinden kaçamayarak ensest ihlali ve baba katlini gerçeküstü bir anlatı yoluyla gerçekleştirmektedir. Murakami’nin Kumandanı Öldürmek romanındaki başkişinin kumandanı öldürmesi baba katlini sembolize etmekte ve karısı ile onun izni olmadan rüyasında ilişkiye girmesi ise sembolik bir yasak ihlalini anımsatmaktadır. Bu çalışmada her iki romandaki karakterlerin yitirdiklerini yerine koymak ve benliklerini inşa etmek için oedipal kehaneti yerine getirdikleri sonucuna varılmıştır. Her iki romanda da başkişilerin Freudyen tekinsizlik duyguları uyandıracak bir yolculuğa çıktıkları gözlemlenmektedir. Sahilde Kafka’da başkişinin çıktığı yolculuk tekinsizlik duyguları uyandırırken Kumandanı Öldürmek romanındaki başkişi ise yeraltındaki karanlık ve dar tünellere girmek zorunda kaldığı yolculuğu sırasında tekinsizlik duygusunu deneyimlemektedir. Bu yolculukların başkişilerin gördükleri rüyaların veya zaman zaman kurdukları hayallerin ortak özelliklerine bakıldığında karakterlerin bastırdıkları bilinçdışı korkuları ve oedipal arzularını yansıttıkları ortaya çıkmaktadır.
