Development and Validation of the Epistemic Evidence Intuition Scale
Authors: Abels Christoph M. , Lewandowsky Stephan
Published: February 2025

In a time characterized by an increasing prevalence of misinformation and the emergence of `alternative facts' that challenge conventional notions of truth, it is crucial to understand the roots and impacts of these phenomena. While these issues emerge at a societal level, driven by factors such as populism and polarization, their underpinnings also reside at the individual level. To address this, we aim to uncover how individual beliefs and cognitive styles contribute to the increasing contestation of truth. We developed the Evidence Intuition Scale (E2IS) that measures two components of how people subjectively construct truth: evidence-based and intuition-based. The evidence-based component prioritizes empirical evidence and rational justification, valuing facts over personal feelings and demanding well-informed opinions supported by data. In contrast, the intuition-based component leans towards an instinctual and subjective reality perception, emphasizing gut feelings. Utilizing a cross-cultural sample from Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom (total N=5121), we examine the E2IS's factor structure, reliability, and both its discriminant validity. Structural Equation Modeling confirms the scale's two-factor structure. Furthermore, the E2IS demonstrates meaningful associations with various measures, including political attitudes (e.g., populist attitudes, political ideology), cognitive styles (e.g., open-minded thinking), and political behaviors, encompassing both normative (e.g., joining rallies, signing petitions) and non-normative actions (e.g., attacking government officials). The E2IS therefore offers a parsimonious instrument to assess an individual's construction and understanding of truth.
Political presence of a young refugee girl: A study through the metaphor of a ‘Cage’
Authors: Orman Turkan Firinci
Published: February 2025

This research explores the tension between lived and legal citizenship through the metaphor of a ‘Cage,’ focusing on young refugees whose sense of belonging diverges from formal citizenship. Using the case of Salma, a Syrian refugee in Turkey, the study examines how she navigates challenges such as racism, financial hardship, and discrimination with agency and resilience. Drawing on a geosocial methodology, feminist geography, and intersectionality, the research employs in-depth interviews and participatory techniques to uncover Salma’s everyday experiences. It highlights her creative self-empowerment and political presence, demonstrating how she actively reshapes traditional notions of citizenship. This study contributes to understanding youth political agency in refugee contexts, emphasizing the transformative potential of creative agency and metaphorical analysis in redefining citizenship. Ultimately, it challenges conventional frameworks of belonging and offers insights into the role of youth in reshaping societal and political structures.
Preaching to the Choir: Cues of Quality and Cultural Consumer Behavior
Authors: Blaabæk Ea Hoppe
Published: February 2025

This article studies the impact of quality signals from cultural intermediaries. Who gets to establish what is good taste? And who aligns their cultural behavior? Using population-wide administrative data on library loans in Denmark linked with information on literary awards and reviews, and a difference-in-differences design, I compare loans before and after an award/review, using shortlisted and books yet-to-receive awards/reviews as controls. Quality signals from cultural intermediaries significantly increase loans, especially among individuals with high levels of cultural capital. This challenges the emphasis on the detached aesthetic dispositions of the cultural elite in Bourdieu’s theory on cultural distinction. Second, higher cultural legitimacy does not increase signal impact. This questions the assumption that cultural intermediaries mobilize cultural legitimacy to consecrate cultural products. An equally important function of cultural intermediaries might be to inform and engage receptive audiences. The findings provide new insights into how signals from cultural intermediaries affect (whose) behavior.

Published: February 2025

Benthic macroinvertebrates play a significant role in assessing the water quality of aquatic ecosystems. This study was conducted to assess the river water quality of the Hanumante River situated at Kathmandu Valley, Nepal using benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators. Altogether seventeen sites were monitored following a globally recognized multi-habitat sampling along the Hanumante River from Muhanpokhari to Narephant (Jadibuti) using a standard hand net with a frame width of 25 × 25 cm2, metallic frame with 500 µm mesh size. The collected macroinvertebrates were identified at the family level. A total of 10 orders, 33 families, and 4419 total individuals of macroinvertebrates were observed. Among all, the family Chironomidae (red) under order Diptera were the highest in number. The results showed that upstream sites were characterized by high taxa richness, abundance, and presence of pollution-sensitive taxa such as Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera, while Chironomidae, Tubificidae, and Simuliidae dominated downstream. The obtained results reflected that the water quality of the river in the upstream sites was comparatively better compared to the downstream. The water quality was deteriorating due to increasing human disturbances in the river, which demands the regular monitoring of water quality and aquatic biodiversity in the river.
Functional, reproductive and biochemical traits of invasive Chromolaena odorata in dry and moist sites of Ramechhap district, Nepal

Published: February 2025

Chromolaena odorata (Siam weed) is the worst invasive weed spreading in tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World invading different habitats even in stressful environments. Specific mechanisms regarding how the weed has developed adaptive traits for growing in adverse ecological circumstances such as dry environment are less explored. This study has evaluated morphological, reproductive and biochemical traits of C. odorata in invaded dry and moist sites. Specific leaf area (SLA), reproductive traits (floral branches, capitula, and seeds) and biochemical traits (chlorophyll, carotenoid, proline, and leaf nitrogen) were measured by sampling plants from dry and moist sites from Ramechhap district, Nepal. Analyzing the results, the SLA was high but photosynthetic pigments and leaf nitrogen were reduced in the dry site. The weed had an increased number of mature capitula and seed mass against reduction in the number of floral branches in dry sites. Elevated concentration of the osmolyte ‘proline’ was found in the dry sites. Reducing the number of floral branches might help energy allocation to earlier maturation of capitula and increased seed mass at the dry site. The results will be useful to understand the adaptive biology of C. odorata and will also have significance in understanding their trait plasticity, which ultimately can be applied for predicting future invasions.

Published: February 2025

Dengue treatment and management is challenging during the epidemic especially among the risk groups and to mitigate the risks becomes even more complicated in absence of specific medicine and vaccines. Till date, there are no specific research endeavours in Nepal focusing on pregnant women with dengue and there is evident gap in research concerning the treatment of pregnant women due to overlapping clinical and hematological manifestations with physiological changes of gestation. The study comprises clinically diagnosed one dengue positive pregnant female, five female patients with dengue in Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital (STIDH), Kathmandu and five healthy volunteers of same reproductive age. The study investigates six different inflammatory cytokines; IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70 and TNF levels in plasma and were quantified using Cytometric Bead Array. The Cytokine profiles and blood parameters were statistically analyzed using confidence intervals of 93.75% as permitted by sample size and visualized with box and whisker plot with a highlighted pregnant case. The study shows IL-6 and IL-10 levels are elevated on dengue cases as compared to healthy while TNF and IL-12p70 levels are elevated exceeding the upper limit of the acute dengue cases in the pregnant subject, underscoring heightened inflammatory activity during synchronous pregnancy and dengue infection. There were significant reductions in hemoglobin and leukocyte counts in the pregnant dengue case compared to non-pregnant. These findings suggest cytokine modulations occur during pregnancy and underscores the importance of these patterns provide insight into targeted therapeutic and diagnostic strategies to mitigate the risks for vulnerable population.
Molecular Insights into CO2 Sequestration in MOF-74
Authors: Subedi Anup , Adhikari Bishwas , Bhusal Aabiskar , Adhikari Kapil
Published: February 2025

Advancements in materials for efficient carbon sequestration are crucial in addressing the rising levels of CO₂. Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a key focus due to their high CO₂ absorption capacity and versatility. This study focuses on evaluating the equilibrium CO₂ adsorption properties of Mg-MOF-74 using hybrid MD / GCMC simulation in LAMMPS. The simulations were conducted at a temperature of 313 K with pressure variations ranging from 1 to 40 bar. The resulting CO₂ uptake was 10.185 mmol/g even at a low pressure of 1 bar. As pressure increases, CO₂ adsorption steadily rises, reaching 12.810 mmol/g at 40 bar. The Radial Distribution Function (RDF) analysis of CO₂ molecules within Mg-MOF-74 clarified the significant role of ligands in CO₂ adsorption. The observed decrease in the diffusion coefficient with increasing pressure suggests slower diffusion and indicates a strong interaction between CO₂ and the MOF at higher pressures. Moreover, the increasingly negative trend of interaction energy with rising pressure indicates enhanced adsorption at higher pressures, with van der Waals interactions contributing predominantly to the total interaction energy between adsorbate and adsorbent. This research sheds light on the potential of Mg-MOF-74 as an effective material for CO₂ capture and sequestration.

Published: February 2025

Groundwater is an essential commodity on which residents of the area are dependent for drinking and irrigation purposes. The study focuses on the evaluation of hydrogeochemistry and the suitability of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes in the eastern part of the Hetauda-Chitwan Dun Valley. Altogether, seventeen groundwater samples were collected from deep aquifers and analyzed for different physical and chemical constituents. The groundwater has been characterized as slightly acidic and soft. The dominant anions and cations are in the order of HCO3- > Cl- > SO42- > NO3- and Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg2+ > K+ respectively. The groundwater facies in the study area are dominantly the Ca-HCO3 type however some Ca-Mg-Cl facies were also identified. The groundwater chemistry in the area is predominantly governed by rock-water interaction where silicate weathering emerges as principal sources of ionic concentration. The analytical results compared with the National Drinking Water Quality Standard (NDWQS) show that all parameters lie within the permissible limit. The water samples fall under excellent to good classes in terms of drinking water quality index. Based on several indices like electrical conductivity (EC), salinity hazard (SH), sodium absorption ratio (SAR), and percent sodium (%Na) the groundwater is suitable for irrigation purposes. In contrast, magnesium ratio (MR) and soluble sodium percentage (SSP) show that 23.53% and 17.65% of the groundwater samples are unsuitable and doubtful for irrigation purposes, respectively. The outcome of the study can be better used for informed decision-making regarding water resource management and sustainable development in the evolving landscape of Hetauda Sub-metropolitan City.
Machine Learning Model to Predict the Formation Energy of Copper-based Ternary Alloys
Authors: Dahal Subash , Adhikari Devendra , Yadav Shashit Kumar
Published: February 2025

Formation energy plays a crucial role in material development, serving as a key metric for understanding material stability and behavior. In this study, machine learning algorithms, namely Random Forest Regressor (RFR) and Gradient Boosting Regressor (GBR), were employed to predict the formation energy of copper-based ternary alloys. The models were implemented using the Scikit-Learn library within the Anaconda distribution. A composition-based featurizer, Magpie elemental properties, from the Matminer toolkit, were utilized to represent the alloy's features. The results demonstrate that the composition-based featurizer effectively captures the relationship between alloy composition and formation energy. Among the models, GBR outperformed RFR, explaining 94% of the variance in formation energy using only five features, compared to 92.5% explained by RFR, which required ten features. These findings highlight the efficiency and accuracy of GBR in predicting formation energy with fewer input features. This work underscores the potential of machine learning models, particularly the GBR, as powerful tools for accelerating material discovery and design. By enabling reliable and efficient predictions, these models provide a pathway to streamline material development processes.

Authors: Sah Sanjay Kumar , Koirala Ishwar
Published: February 2025

The activities of each component metal, i.e., Bi, In, and Sn in Bi-In-Sn at 1000 K, were calculated for ternary liquid alloys, which are lead-free, applying the molecular interaction volume model (MIVM). The predicted values of the activity of the component Bi and the associated experimental data were analyzed for Bi-In-Sn at 1000 K. Between the theory and experiment, there was a significant amount of agreement. Both negative and positive deviations of Bi activity, the negative activity deviation of In, and the positive activity deviation of Sn from ideal Raoult's law have been observed in Bi-In-Sn liquid alloys at 1000 K. In addition, the partial molar Gibbs free energy (Δ¯(GBi) of Bi in Bi-In-Sn alloys at 1025 K was also calculated and compared with the available experimental data, which also shows a reasonable agreement.

Le figement langagier. Approche générale, contrastive et en phraséotraduction. Défis, problèmes, conceptions
Authors: Sułkowska Monika
Published: February 2025

Phraseologisation, which involves the fixation of word combinations, is a universal phenomenon, occurring in every natural language, but it may structure itself differently in each language. The polylexical linguistic reproductions that result from phraseologisation are very common in everyday communication. Phraseology, which analyses fixed word associations, has recently considerably broadened the scope and area of its research, and the centre of its interest has begun to include those types of polylexical structures which in traditional phraseology were situated on the borderlands or outside the scope of this field. This state of affairs calls for a new, up-to-date view of phraseologisation, and justifies the need to revise, expand and update research in contemporary phraseology. Moreover, a major challenge in contemporary translation studies is the interlingual transfer of fixed word combinations. The results of the research in general and contrastive phraseology, as well as in the field of phraseotranslation, which are presented in this monograph may prove to be very helpful in this perspective.

Once again about Vlast’s Labyrinths as a historical precedent in the formation of national artistic prose
Authors: Chukichova Nadzeya
Published: February 2025

The article investigates the specificity of narrative solutions in Labyrinths – the most surprising among Vaclau Lastousky’s works, which has no analogues in the Belarusian literature of that time. A number of significant examples are analyzed (the first encounter’s event, invisible publisher’s existence, the play by paratext etc.), which are the direct evidence of attempts of conscious “implementation” of internal dialogic possibilities of artistic expression as well as of author’s idea of polysubject narration creating. Among the author’s active use of polyphonic statement dialogized text constructions in a continuous discourse of an I-narrator are studied, as well as the change of observation focus on different narration sections and relatively developed characters nomination system. Thus, the “Labyrinths” should be attributed as the story, in which for the first time for Belarusian literature a completely new author’s strategy of a literary work composing is revealed.

Published: February 2025

Neycheva Petrova, Gergana. Vidas precarias y cuerpos normados. Desafíos para la democracia. En el presente artículo abordo la problemática que representa la dimensión pública del cuerpo para la consolidación de la democracia. A partir de la pregunta de Theodor Adorno, “¿qué lugar hay para un yo en el régimen discursivo en que vivo?”, y de un diálogo con Judith Butler en su inquietud respecto a qué vidas carecen de valor, exploraré la polémica vida de los migrantes. El llamado hacia el respeto por la pluralidad de las minorías que, a su vez, implica una forma equitativa de gobierno, nos conduce a indagar las circunstancias en que el ethos colectivo se torna violento y la posibilidad de una visión cosmopolita que supere esta condición.
(In)visível: retratos dos afazeres domésticos no Brasil através das lentes da economia feminista
Authors: Liana Bohn  , Brena Paula Magno  Fernandez
Published: February 2025

A Economia Feminista salienta a compreensão de que as relações econômicas abrangem não apenas o trabalho pago, mas também o assim chamado “trabalho invisível” (reprodutivo): os afazeres domésticos e o trabalho (não remunerado) de cuidado. Gênero é o conceito central nesse tipo de análise. No presente artigo, utilizando esta corrente de pensamento econômico, esmiúça-se o trabalho reprodutivo não remunerado no Brasil, buscando capturar a heterogeneidade dos indivíduos que os realizam. Mediante a utilização de regressões quantílicas, retrata-se a quantidade de trabalho não remunerado associado a diferentes perfis de homens e mulheres. Estes retratos sugerem, por um lado, persistências na reprodução de papeis de gênero (com relação ao tipo de família e à condição de ocupação, por exemplo), mas também indícios de rupturas (como aquelas observadas pela via dos indicadores educacionais).

El Edadismo, en nuestro caso, Viejismo, está relacionado con la forma que tenemos de entender la vejez y el envejecimiento, con nuestras relaciones intergeneracionales y en cómo perpetuamos estereotipos e ideas preconcebidas sobre las personas mayores, limitando, de este modo, la comprensión de la diversidad y la heterogeneidad de la vejez.
En la lucha contra el edadismo nos parece necesario educar/sensibilizar a la población general y también muy importante trabajar estos estereotipos y prejuicios con los profesionales que atienden y acompañan a las personas ya que consideramos que pueden ser, los profesionales, una palanca importante del cambio.
CAMBIOS EN LAS INSTITUCIONES PARA LAS PERSONAS MAYORES MOTIVADOS POR LA PANDEMIA DEL COVID19
Authors: Carmen Pineda Nebot  , Silvia M.M. Costa
Published: February 2025

Las personas mayores fueron las que más sufrieron los efectos de la pandemia del COVID19 en España, sobre todo aquellas que vivían en las residencias. Al finalizar ese periodo se planteó la necesidad de realizar cambios en el modelo de residencias. El primer paso fue aprobar un acuerdo interterritorial y realizar un censo homogéneo que permitiera a los responsables políticos y a los gestores públicos disponer de información de todo el territorio nacional, tanto del número total de dichas instalaciones como de las características principales de las mismas. El objetivo de esta comunicación es analizar los datos del censo de residencias de 2022 elaborado por el Instituto de Mayores y Servicios Sociales (Imserso). Utilizando para ello un método de carácter cualitativo documental. Como conclusión señalar que los gobiernos deben adoptar en este tema un enfoque proactivo para alinear sus políticas con las necesidades cambiantes de una población cada vez más envejecida.

This article presents the results of optimizing semi-automatic welding process parameters using the Taguchi method and regression analysis. Experiments were designed with the semi-automatic welding process to identify the optimal parameters, which were validated through Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Additionally, multiple regression analysis was conducted using the MINITAB software to develop a mathematical model predicting wear values under different welding conditions. The study experimentally investigated the effects of parameters such as particle size of the material, coating thickness, and current strength on wear. Results showed that the parameter with the most significant impact on wear was coating thickness, specifically the chromium content, followed by current and particle size of the material.

This study provides an empirical analysis of the influence of experience marketing in the sixth industry on participants' memorability and their positive behavioural intentions. It further explores the moderating role of comments and reviews, as part of information management, in the communication and evaluation processes within the digital age, on the relationship between experience marketing and memorability. Using SPSS version 28 to analyse a sample of 451 respondents, the findings indicate that sensory, emotional, and relational experiences within experiential marketing in the sixth industry positively affect memorability. Additionally, memorability has been found to positively influence behavioural intentions. Lastly, as the impact of comments and reviews increases, the sensory, emotional, and relational aspects of experiential marketing have a more pronounced effect on memorability
Revolutionizing Educational Systems Through the Belt and Road Initiative: Integrating Bashu Culture and ProjectBased Learning Pedagogy
Authors: Zijun Shen  , Shan Li
Published: February 2025

The cultural inclusion of education systems is important to create cross-cultural understandings and to facilitate the integration of diverse identities when considering the context of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This calls for the development of innovative informatics frameworks for supporting cultural interactions and long-term cooperation. Ultimately, there is no scaled model to introduce cultural diversity to the mainstream, notably for a community like the Bashu. This gap is addressed by this study in which Japanese Educational Informatics is integrated with Bashu culture, using PBL pedagogy. Adopting a mixed method approach, the study first quantitatively analyzes TIMSS 2019 data to demonstrate how informatics capacities can aid educational outcomes on environmental awareness and scientific literacy, followed by a qualitative analysis performed on policy reports with Japanese and Chinese Taipei policy documents, to highlight the effectiveness of informatics tools to bridge educational gaps and assist in cultural adaptation. Drawing upon Systems Theory, the research presents a framework to organize and share cultural knowledge via adaptive and inclusive education. The findings support that informatics can be used in aligning education with BRI, in promoting global cooperation, and in achieving preservation of the cultural heritage. Future work should explore how implementing these frameworks in other culturally marginalized areas may be used to enhance education

Authors: Haini Wu
Published: February 2025

Metaverse information system with the use of technology has transformed the learning environments of educational institutions; though putting up a challenge to the users’ intentions to engage with metaverse systems. This research aimed to understand user intentions to utilize metaverse information systems in music education. Using a self administered survey questionnaire, data was collected from 350 music education students, choosing a purposive sampling technique, and employing a deductive quantitative approach and cross-sectional research design. The Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique results show that musical ability self, ideal musical self, and adaptive musical self positively significantly impact the metaverse information system of Chinese universities music education students. In the same vein, information quality also has a positive and significant impact on metaverse information systems. Further results show that student attitude is partially mediated among information quality, future learning intention, technology optimization, adaptive musical self, musical ability self, ideal musical self, and metaverse information systems of Chinese music education students. The study with these findings extends the understanding of metaverse information systems with the mediating effect of students’ attitude in Chinese university music education students. The study would practically help educators and system designers to focus on enhancing both musical and information quality aspects to optimize metaverse platforms for better engagement and outcomes.

Адитивні технології широко використовуються у різних сферах виробництва. Основною проблемою, яка обмежує їх застосування, є недостатній рівень фізико-механічних та експлуатаційних властивостей. Метою роботи було дослідження впливу вуглецевих наповнювачів різного типу на мікроструктур та функ-ціональні характеристики полімерних композитних матеріалів, які у перспективі можуть використовуватися як філаменти для 3D-друку. Використовуючи методи оптичної мікроскопії, диференціальної сканувальної калориметрії та механічного аналізу, було досліджено мікроструктуру, теплофізичні та механічні властивості полімерних композитних систем на основі полілактиду та вуглецевих наповнювачів – вуглецевих нанотрубок (ВНТ) та терморозширеного графіту (ТРГ). З даних оптичної мікроскопії було виявлено, що при вмісті 0,5 % для ВНТ та 1 % для ТРГ у системі спостерігається перколяційний перехід, при якому кластери з частинок наповнювача пронизують весь об’єм матеріалу. На основі калориметричних досліджень показано, що температури плавлення, холодної кристалізації та склування, а також ступінь кристалічності набувають мінімальних значень при вмісті наповнювача, рівному 0,5 % для ВНТ та 1 % для ТРГ. Саме поверхня наповнювача має вирішальний вплив на теплофізичні характеристики досліджуваних композитів. Максимально розвинена поверхня наповнювача, яка має місце при формуванні перколяційного кластера, утруднює процеси руху макромолекул та перешкоджає формуванню ними кристалічних структур. Тип і вміст вуглецевого наповнювача також впливає і на механічну міцність отриманих матеріалів. З досягненням перколяційної концентрації наповнювача міцність зростає приблизно на 30 %, що робить композитні матеріали перспективними для застосування як філаментів для адитивних технологій.
