Call them “cheo cheo” and let the humanities save them from extinction
Authors: Vuong Quan-Hoang , Nguyen Minh-Hoang
Published: December 2023

The rediscovery of the silver-backed chevrotain, an endemic species to Vietnam, in 2019, after almost 30 years of being lost to science, is a remarkable outcome for the global conservation agenda. However, along with the happiness, there is a tremendous concern for the conservation of the species as eating wildmeat, including chevrotain, is deeply rooted in the socio-cultural values of Vietnamese. Meanwhile, conservation plans face multiple obstacles since the species has not been listed in the list of endangered, precious, and rare wildlife prioritized for protection and is still classified by the IUCN as lacking data. Given the limited effectiveness of conservation measures, this essay discusses the determining roles of local actions, community cooperation, and humanistic values oriented toward eco-surplus culture in addressing the global biodiversity conservation agenda, specifically the conservation of the silver-backed chevrotain. Local actions and community cooperation for conservation can be actualized to achieve conservation goals through citizen and community sciences, integration of modern technologies (e.g., Internet, crowdfunding platforms, social media, AI, etc.), and the bonding capability of humanistic values that prioritize environmental healing. Communicating conservation information to the community, especially the children, has to stimulate their thinking and imagination about nature, develop their curiosity and desire to protect wildlife, and eventually build eco-surplus core values in their mindsets. To successfully awaken the humanistic values within the community and incorporate them into conservation endeavors, the conservation message with the name “mouse-deer”, “chevrotain”, or scientific name (Tragulus versicolor) is largely insufficient as they show an unfamiliar feeling. Therefore, we suggest calling the mouse-deer “cheo cheo”, a local name that can create familiarity and closeness, awaken the environmental conscience and humanistic values, and stimulate thinking and imagination. All these factors are essential for conservationists, scientists, and the government to support the community in building the eco-surplus culture.

Published: December 2023

Abstrak: Risk management in running a business is very important to protect the organization from risks that hinder the achievement of goals and various things that can cause losses to the business. This article attempts to explain the basic concepts of risk management, the Islamic perspective on risk management, the relevance of risk and return and the urgency of risk management for sharia business. From this review it can be concluded that there are two important rules that must be considered in running a business and in every business transaction, namely the al-kharaj bidh dhaman rule and the al ghunmu bil ghurmi rule. With these two regulations, Islam eliminates injustice and protects the rights of all parties involved in business transactions.
The role of audiovisual congruence in aesthetic appreciation of contemporary music and visual art
Authors: Fink Lauren , Fiehn Hannah , Wald-Fuhrmann Melanie
Published: December 2023

Does congruence between auditory and visual modalities affect aesthetic experience? While cross-modal correspondences between vision and hearing are well-documented, previous studies show conflicting results regarding whether audiovisual correspondence affects subjective aesthetic experience. Here, in collaboration with the Kentler International Drawing Space (NYC, USA), we depart from previous research by using music specifically composed to pair with visual art in the professionally-curated Music as Image and Metaphor exhibition. Our pre-registered online experiment consisted of 4 conditions: Audio, Visual, Audio-Visual-Intended (artist-intended pairing of art/music), and Audio-Visual-Random (random shuffling). Participants (N=201) were presented with 16 pieces and could click to proceed to the next piece whenever they liked. We used time spent as an implicit index of aesthetic interest. Additionally, after each piece, participants were asked about their subjective experience (e.g., feeling moved). We found that participants spent significantly more time with Audio, followed by Audiovisual, followed by Visual pieces; however, they felt most moved in the Audiovisual (bi-modal) conditions. Ratings of audiovisual correspondence were significantly higher for the Audiovisual-Intended compared to Audiovisual-Random condition; interestingly, though, there were no significant differences between intended and random conditions on any other subjective rating scale, or for time spent. Collectively, these results call into question the relationship between cross-modal correspondence and aesthetic appreciation. Additionally, the results complicate the use of time spent as an implicit measure of aesthetic experience.
E-Learning Educational Atmosphere and Technology Integration as Predictors of Students' Engagement: The Case of Agribusiness Program
Authors: Almagro Ronald
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to determine whether the e-learning educational atmosphere and technology integration significantly influence the students’ engagement. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design with 127 fourth-year college students from Davao del Norte, Philippines selected through universal sampling. The study used three adapted questionnaires to gather data, and statistical tools such as mean, Pearson r, standard deviation, and regression analysis were utilized. The e-learning educational atmosphere on students in terms of programme effectiveness, teaching quality, ethics and professionalism, learner support, safety and convenience, and awareness of the rules is much observed. Students’ engagement, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitude toward integrating are much evident. Students’ engagement in terms of affective, behavioral, and cognitive are much manifested. The findings also revealed that the e-learning educational atmosphere has a significant relationship and influence on students’ engagement. On the other hand, technology integration has a significant relationship and influence on students’ engagement. The study highlights the importance of creating a safe and convenient e-learning environment and promoting the use of technology in enhancing students’ engagement. The study’s limitations include the sample size and the context-specific findings. The results imply the need for instructors, school administrators, and CHED officials to collaborate and establish programs that promote students’ engagement through e-learning and technology integration.
The Drive to Survive: Acute Stress Promotes Aversive Motivation
Authors: Pavlíčková Kristína , Gärtner Judith , Voulgaropoulou Stella , Främke Deniz , Adams Eli , Quaedflieg Conny W.E.M. , Viechtbauer Wolfgang , Hernaus Dennis
Published: December 2023

Although the acute stress response is a highly adaptive survival mechanism, much remains unknown about how its activation impacts our decisions and actions. Based on its resource-mobilizing function, here we hypothesize that this intricate psychophysiological process may increase the willingness (motivation) to expend energy. Across two experiments (n=80, n=84), participants exposed to a validated stress-induction protocol, compared to a no-stress control condition, exhibited an increased willingness to expend energy (grip force) in the service of avoiding the possibility of experiencing aversive electrical stimulation (threat-of-shock), but not for the acquisition of rewards (money). Use of computational cognitive models linked this observation to subjective value computations that prioritize safety over the conservation of energy; especially when facing unlikely threats that can only be neutralized via high levels of grip force. Taken together, these results suggest that activation of the acute stress response can selectively alter the willingness to expend energy for safety-related goals. These findings are relevant for understanding how, under stress, we become motivated to engage in vigorous, energy-consuming, actions aimed at avoiding aversive outcomes.
When Jean Piaget met Susan and Nathan Isaacs
Authors: Kitchener Richard
Published: December 2023

A signature event in the intellectual life of Jean Piaget was his personal and intellectual interchange with Susan and Nathan Isaacs, which occurred in the 30’s. Susan and Nathan were philosophers, psychologists and educators, famous for the establishment of the Malting House in Cambridge, both well known in the new educational movements in England. Although they were avid supporters of much of his account, they lodged substantial objections to his empirical and theoretical work largely as a result of Susan’s studies of children at the Malting House together with their different theoretical and philosophical perspectives.Piaget spent a year in England (at Cambridge) in 1929-, visited the Malting House, and observed their new progressive teaching methods. He also gave two scholarly presentations during that year. This visit together with the Isaacs’ critical comments strongly influenced Piaget’s subsequent empirical research, his conceptualization and revision of his mèthode clinique and his theoretical views, shaping the future development of Piaget’s life-long research program. He found their comments weighty enough to write and publish a major (hitherto untranslated) response to their empirical and theoretical work. I summarize this affair with the Isaacs, pointing out the important empirical and theoretical issues separating them, many of which are still at issue in psychology, education, and philosophy.

Piaget's Different Intelligence Tests: From IQ Tests to Operatory Intelligence
Authors: Kitchener Richard
Published: December 2023

A signature event in the history of psychology occurred in 1919 when Jean Piaget was asked to standardize Cyril Burt’s tests of intelligence on Parisian children. Impressed by the errors students made, Piaget studied the underlying reasoning process of these children. This led to Piaget ‘s new méthode clinique for studying the intelligence of children and its development.But why was there a need for such standardization? How did Burt’s intelligence test differ from Binet’s version? How did Burt’s version pave the way for Piaget’s very different kind of intelligence test—from I.Q. tests to tests of operatory intelligence?I examine the history of this series of events pointing out the difference between Binet’s version and Burt’s version, how they differed from Piaget’s similar questions and how the standardization of Burt’s intelligence tests paved the way for Piaget’s different type of intelligence test, a test of operatory intelligence.
Empirically Testing Predictions of an Attrition Warfare Model for the War in Ukraine
Authors: Turchin Peter
Published: December 2023

The goal of this study is to empirically test hypotheses about wars of attrition by evaluating their predictions for the conflict in the Ukraine. Evaluation will occur after the war is over and authoritative data sources become available for analysis.This pre-registration document presents two quantitative hypotheses that make opposite predictions about the course of the War in Ukraine: (1) the Economic Power hypothesis, which predicts a win for Ukraine and (2) the Casualties Rates hypothesis, which predicts a win for Russia. Additionally, I consider an alternative hypothesis, according to which the outcome will be determined by random unforeseen events. The document includes four main parts: 1.An introduction providing the conceptual background and the rationale for this study.2.The mathematical framework and a computational model that incorporates both Economic Power and Casualties Rates hypotheses as special cases.3.An analysis plan that defines model outputs (what is predicted) and model inputs (parameter values and initial conditions), which need to be estimated from data.4.An interim assessment (as of Summer 2023) using non-authoritative sources illustrating how, after the end of the war, input parameters will be estimated and the accuracy of predictions assessed.At the time of pre-registration (November 2023) the conflict is still unresolved. Neither side has made significant territorial gains for over a year (since the late Fall of 2022). Furthermore, no authoritative source for data, needed to accurately estimate inputs, is currently available. Estimates published in the press differ wildly depending on the source. As a consequence, the alternative predictions discussed in the interim assessment should not be taken as predicting the future course of the conflict. They instead are meant to demonstrate how these specific scientific hypotheses about war dynamics will be assessed after the war concludes.

Authors: Sharon Mmakola  , Mncedisi Christian Maphalala
Published: December 2023

This study explored the multifaceted landscape of secondary education following the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic brought about a shift in education worldwide, necessitating a rapid transition from traditional classroom teaching to remote and blended learning modalities. This conceptual paper explores the emerging landscape of blended teaching and learning in South African secondary schools in the post-COVID-19 era. While South Africa's educational system was not immune to the disruptions caused by the pandemic, unique challenges and opportunities also presented themselves. This study reviewed journal articles and book chapters focused on the nature of blended teaching and learning in South African secondary schools following the COVID-19 pandemic. First, to ensure an in-depth exploration, we conducted a generic search on the challenges posed by transitioning to blended learning, supportive measures to mitigate these challenges and the benefits of a blended learning environment. This resulted in more than 90 journal articles being found. We then customised our search, subsequently identifying 14 reports that satisfied our inclusion criteria. Our analysis of these studies highlighted a multifaceted and dynamic landscape characterised by teachers' technological adaptation, pedagogical shifts, challenges posed by the digital divide and the pursuit of student engagement. The paper underscores the critical importance of ongoing professional development, equitable access to technology, as well as pedagogical support in shaping the future of education in South Africa and addressing broader issues of equity and inclusivity in a post-pandemic world. The insights from this research offer valuable guidance for educational policymakers, institutions and educators seeking to enhance the quality and accessibility of education in a digital age.
ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY FOR LEARNERS: LET THEM ALL SPEAK AND WRITE
Authors: Bulelwa Makena
Published: December 2023

In classroom situations encouraging learners to holistically engage in spoken and written tasks in English language learning with characteristics of being additional and unfamiliar, is equated to enhancing learning environment, thereby fostering individual and collective growth. For organizations to inspire recipients with speaking and writing abilities, this leads to innovative solutions. This paper seeks to inquire whether fostering opportunities in an organizational capacity for learners to engage in speaking and written activities have any significant importance towards enhanced language development. Underpinning this inquiry is a qualitative research approach with a case study design to explore key characteristics of the studied case. To gather data, five conveniently nominated participants were identified from a rurally located institution of higher learning. Semi-structured interviews led to a thematic analysis of gathered data. Findings revealed that through consistent engagements in spoken and written texts (i) there were improved communication skills and (ii) the development of an inclusive learning environment. The study concludes that when learner communication skills have been refined, this is tantamount to academic excellence with recommendations that individual learner contributions should be valued as inclusion promotes mutual responsiveness among teachers and learners not only in language learning but across all subjects underpinning curriculum.
Actitudes de los editores de revistas académicas brasileñas hacia la revisión por pares abierta (open peer review). Una encuesta
Authors: Silveira Lúcia da , Melero Remedios , Caregnato Sônia Elisa , Abadal Ernest
Published: December 2023

Open review is one of the components of open science that scientific journals are incorporating in their editorial processes. In contrast to open access to literature and research data, open review still raises many doubts and concerns among the involved parties (editors, reviewers and authors). This article aims to analyze the perception of editors of Brazilian academic journals on open peer review. To achieve this, a questionnaire was sent to 3,208 editors, out of which 351 responded to the full set of 42 questions. The editors expressed satisfaction with the current model of scientific communication, the double-blind model, and disagreed with any type of identification of reviewers. However, they perceived an advantage in open review, as it allows for mutual interaction between authors and reviewers with the goal of improving the quality of content. As barriers, they pointed out conflicts of interest and rivalries that open review might generate and the difficulty in finding reviewers willing to accept this review model. The overall conclusion points to a conservative profile among editors regarding the introduction of open peer review practices.

Criminal law protection of public relations in field of digital financial assets and digital currency
Authors: Dolgieva Madina
Published: December 2023

Differences in the definitions of digital financial assets, digital currency and cryptocurrencies cause difficulties not only for law enforcement officers, but also in the science of Criminal Law. The author’s research has shown that the term “cryptocurrency” is not included in the concept of digital currency, and moreover cryptocurrencies are not digital financial assets. Cryptocurrencies are defined by the author as a virtual asset that can be an object of financial activity and, together with digital rights and digital currency, all types of virtual assets are involved in monetary circulation, and, accordingly, the relations that develop in this area are subject to criminal protection as a type of financial activity. The author substantiates the conclusion that the list of objects protected by criminal law should include economic (financial) relations, part of which are legal relations in the sphere of turnover of virtual assets. The place of such legal relations in the section of crimes against the economy has been determined.

Capitalism and plutocracy
Authors: Kerimov Alexander D.
Published: December 2023

In this article the author analyzes the dialectical interdependence of capitalism and plutocracy. The definition of plutocracy is proposed. The author reveals two important and diametrically opposed trends in how various segments of the ruling elites in modern states define their values and, accordingly, what specific practical actions they take. Attention is focused on the fact that the pro-Western, which is very active in our country, consists not only of liberal-minded people of creative professions, but also individual representatives of power structures. The author expresses strong support for a part of the domestic establishment and the associated patriotic intelligentsia that aim at a comprehensive revival of the power of Russia. At the same time, the author is sure that in order to achieve victory over the collective West the mobilization of all institutions of the state and society, understood in a broad sense, is necessary, which is impossible without abandoning the substantial political, economic, spiritual and moral foundations of the bourgeois system.
Universalism in Social Policy of the Scandinavian States
Authors: Cherkasov Alexander I.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the role of the principle of universalism as the “cornerstone” of the social policy of the Scandinavian states. It is emphasized that Scandinavian universalism is traditionally based on a higher level of social equality than the level that is present within other social welfare systems aimed at a selective approach and social stratification. The Scandinavian social welfare model has recently been facing a number of problems related to globalization, increased competition on the labor market, demographic changes and an expanding influx of migrants. In the current situation, this model is becoming more economical and market-oriented, and existing social programs are being adjusted by reducing their excessive generosity. There is a growing understanding of the need to expand the principle of universalism and introduce much greater differentiation into social policy, taking into account the real needs of individual segments of the population.

The term “soft power” was introduced relatively recently, but in its practical implementation it has a centuries-old history. In a certain sense, the word “soft power” has been meaningfully used since the times of the states of Ancient Rome and Ancient Iran. The article notes the ambiguity of the “soft power” policy, since its form can vary according to the interests of the state, as well as its socio-political structure. Thus, the use of «soft power» to the Soviet Unions was qualitatively different from the “soft power” used by states with a capitalist way of life. It is important to see the difference between “soft power” and economic expansion, especially since the border between them can be very conditional.
An important idea of the presented article is that in the conditions of the crisis of the state as a form and way of being of a person, the influence of transnational companies is significantly increasing, which, in fact, squeeze out the state and seek to replace it with themselves. At the same time, the nature and essence of transnational corporations is very different from the nature and essence of the state, therefore, there is a process of transformation of “soft power”, filling it with new meanings and motives. If for states in their classical understanding, culture with its traditions, spiritual categories, and universal values could become the semantic content of the “soft power” policy, then for transnational corporations, the economic motive usually forms the basis of the policy. This kind of motive will easily result in the exploitation of some people by other people and the loss by society of such traits that define it as human. Thus, in the form in which the concept of “soft power” was relevant at the end of the twentieth century, it now looks like a vestige of a bygone historical era. Nevertheless, the degree of development of information technologies, the level of their accessibility can become a new content of «soft power» in the foreign policy of states.

TWO ALGEBRAIC ALGORITHMS FOR THE LU DECOMPOSITION OF COMMUTATIVE QUATERNION MATRICES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
Authors:   North-Eastern Federal University, NEFU, Zhang Dong
Published: December 2023

The paper proposes two algebraic algorithms for the LU decomposition of com- mutative quaternion matrices. The first of them is an algebraic algorithm based on a complex representation matrix, and the second is a complex structure-preserving algorithm based on Gaussian elimination of commutative quaternion matrices. With their help, it was established that the LU decomposition of commutative quaternion matrices is not unique. The paper also presents the results of numerical implementations of a mathematical model for color image restoration using the proposed algorithms, which demonstrated the higher efficiency of the first algorithm.

The problem of phase function reconstructing in Hilbert diagnostics of gaseous, condensed and reacting media is discussed in the work. The method for reconstructing the phase disturbances structure of a probing light field, based on the iterative Gauss-Newton al- gorithm, is proposed.This method does not require the second derivatives determination and greatly reduces the number of calculations.It consists in the sequential selection of a complex phase profile, which is specified by the sum of third degree Bezier curves, and the hilbertogram calculation in order to minimize the root-mean-square error between the experimental and reconstructed hilbertograms. The Jacobi matrix for the nonlinear integral operator of Hilbert visualization is calculated. The proposed algorithm was tested on test functions.The devel- opment of the method and its applications is associated with the application of the algorithm to the processing of experimental results.

Accurate event extraction and analysis are vital for understanding trends and making informed decisions in various domains. This paper presents a concise rule-based approach for event extraction in the aerospace domain, aiming to enhance decision-making processes. The proposed methodology utilizes rule-based pattern-matching techniques to identify and extract events from textual data, such as news articles and research papers. By leveraging linguistic features and syntactic structures, the approach effectively captures event-related information. Additionally, an event map visualization technique is introduced to provide a comprehensive overview of the extracted events and their relationships. The proposed approach, integrated into the Aerospace Expert System (AES), offers a powerful tool for tracking and analyzing events in the aerospace industry. Evaluation results demonstrate the high precision and recall of the rule-based approach, enabling stakeholders to gain valuable insights and make informed decisions in the aerospace domain.

Published: December 2023

Swirling flows are widely used in engineering. Various types of separators, burners, dryers, coolers, etc. work due to flow swirling. To study swirling flows, methods of experi- mental modeling and computational hydrodynamics are used. The most productive approach to the description of swirling flows can be realized when it becomes possible to analytically describe the characteristics of the flow. In the present work, models of helical vortices are generalized to the case of a composition of a columnar vortex and a pair of coaxial helical vortices, which makes it possible to describe the recently obtained experimental data.
