Digitized Future of Medicine: Challenges for Bioethics
Authors: Grebenshchikova Elena G. , Tishchenko Pavel D.
Published: June 2020

The article discusses the challenges, benefits, and risks that, from a bioethical perspective, arise because of the the development of eHealth projects. The conceptual framework of the research is based on H. Jonas’ principles of the ethics of responsibility and B.G. Yudin’s anthropological ideas on human beings as agents who constantly change their own boundaries in the “zone of phase transitions.” The article focuses on the events taking place in the zone of phase transitions between humans and machines in eHealth. It is shown that for innovative practices related to digitalization and datafication in medicine, it is needed to rethink central bioethical concepts of personal autonomy and informed consent. In particular, the concept of broad or open informed consent is discussed, which allows the idea of moral responsibility in the field of biomedical technologies to be extended to events of uncertain future. The authors draw attention to the problems associated with the emergence of new autonomous subjects/agents (machines with artificial intelligence) in relationship between doctors and patients. The humanization of machines occurring in eHealth is accompanied by a counter trend – the formation of conceptions and practices of the quantified self. There emerges the practices of self-care and bio-power (M. Foucault) caused by the datafication and digitization of personality. The authors conclude that bioethics should proactively develop norms for the evolving interaction between doctor and patients.

Authors: Hariyadi I Putu , Marzuki Khairan
Published: June 2020

Virtualization technology has been applied to universities with computer study programs to support practicum in Network Management courses. Each user gets a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with container technology. VPS system that is prepared manually requires a long time, especially when the number of users is increasing. The activity repeats every semester so it becomes ineffective and inefficient. Application of automation using Ansible can help to manage VPS objects in the Promox Virtual Environment (PVE) Cluster dynamically. Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC) was used as a method in this study. The design of the VPS management automation system created supports the grouping of container, user and permission resource management for users. The design is implemented in Ansible Playbook. The test results show the average time of making VPS objects per student with an automation system 2 (two) times faster, that is 26.25 seconds compared to the old system which takes 2 minutes 15 seconds. Besides that, the Playbook that was created succeeded in automating the start and stop containers per group of students based on the practicum schedule dynamically so as to maintain the availability of services from the PVE Cluster.
Hiding to hedge against information overload
Authors: Runge Yannick , Frings Christian , Tempel Tobias
Published: June 2020

Many workspaces nowadays overload people with information – often with information that is irrelevant to the task at hand. Such information cannot only be distracting but additionally misleading, and can potentially impair the performance in relevant tasks. Here we set out to investigate how higher order cognition is influenced by such irrelevant or misleading information. Specifically we were interested in disentangling distraction effects due to task-irrelevant information from distraction effects due to misleading associations. To this end, we examined the solution rates for Remote Associates Test (RAT) items as a function of the presence of additional irrelevant or misleading word material, presented alongside the RAT items. Solving these kinds of word riddles is considered higher cognition as it is closely related to problem solving in real world scenarios. Additionally we manipulated the expectation of participants towards the nature of additional information across two experiments. In Experiment 1 participants believed that all additional words were irrelevant. In Experiment 2 they thought some of the information might be useful for their task. Alongside other manipulations we hereby ensured an attentional focus on the additional information in Experiment 2. Results showed, participants performed poorer in solving RAT items when irrelevant or misleading words were presented along with the RAT items compared to no additional presentation. Moreover misleading information was additionally interfering, but only if attentively processed. To avoid such distraction and misdirection, future personal information systems like the Semantic Desktop [1-2] can help by detecting and hiding temporarily irrelevant or misleading information.

Progressive Nature of Social and Economic Rights in Kenya: a Delayed Promise?
Authors: Gitiri Jennifer
Published: June 2020

This paper evaluates the steps taken towards the progressive realization of social and economic rights (SER) in Kenya. It aims to provide a better understanding of SER and the obligations of the state under international, regional, and national law. It further elucidates the components of progressive realization. Additionally, it identifies the guiding principles of measuring progressive realization and recommendations to develop tools that would monitor progressive realization. Recognition of SER faces many challenges as they are considered as second class rights that are not equal to civil and political rights considered as first-generation rights. The most enduring challenge for SER is that it interferes with the concept of the separation of powers and the political question doctrine by enabling courts to interfere in matters considered to be under the purview of the legislative and executive branch. The paper uses a desktop review of international, regional, and national legal instruments as well as comparative evaluation of SER jurisprudence from a host of jurisdictions. The concept of progressive realization is a goal in the ICSECR, Kenya’s Constitution, and other Constitutions with the implication that SER would be implemented over a period of time. Jurisprudence from other jurisdictions is evaluated to determine the lessons learned by Kenya. The paper demonstrates that progressive realization and implementation of SER are still work in progress before they are finally anchored into mainstream human rights, just like political and civic rights. In conclusion, progressive realization of SER imports an immediate obligation by Kenya having ratified the three human right bodies (ICSECR, UNCRC, and CRPWD) pursuant to Article 2(5)(6) of the Constitution to expeditiously move towards the realization of SER. There is a further presumption that the country would refrain from retrogressive measures and instead adopt the minimum content approach in the implementation of SER.

Understanding Brain Plasticity in Learning Process
Authors: Yuliana Yuliana
Published: June 2020

Brain plasticity takes an essential part in the learning process and memory retaining. Brain plasticity is connected with myelin sheath development and oligodendrocyte plasticity. Dynamic myelination is attained through certain learning activities. Oligodendrocyte plasticity means changes of oligodendrocyte precursor cell number either increasing or decreasing. This review aims to reveal what learning style is better in optimizing learning capacity by understanding dynamic myelination, brain plasticity, oligodendrocyte plasticity, and learning process. The review paper was based on journal reading. Keywords for literature searching are "Learning, myelin, brain, plasticity, oligodendrocyte" with filters in the last 5 years in the PubMed website. Pubmed was considered as one of the qualified journals. It doesn't rule out the possibility of using another journal that is not listed in PubMed. Result showed 36 articles. Other citations were added based on the previously selected journals. The learning process is closely related to encoding. Making schema while learning new objects are very useful in increasing oligodendrocytes cells number. The paper limitation is it didn't describe how the learning process might improve school performance and success in later life. There isn't any comparison about how each learning activity has an unequal effect on dynamic myelination, brain plasticity, and daily life skills improvement. This review paper's significance is myelin was not static, but it is dynamically changed through learning activities, new experiences, musical, or even practical training. Exposure to a new environment in the learning process will improve myelination and optimize learning. Learning new things is good for our brain because it will prevent dementia.

The interest of pragmatic randomized controlled trials continues to increase as they are much better
suited for studies of how to get medical and health services out into wider practice. However, despite the
advantage that such trials have, there are several ethical issues and medical ethics issues that persist with the
trial. The ethical and medical ethics issues involve research-practice distinction, consent, disclosure,
vulnerable populations, oversight, ethical principles, ethical framework, regulatory frameworks, and conflicts
of interest. Through performing an elaborate literature review and analyzing claims and arguments made
within the literature, we will provide a critical and comprehensive ethical analysis on pragmatic randomized
controlled trials, and we will begin the discussion on conflicts of interest in pragmatic RCTs, arguing that
conflicts of interest occur in pragmatic RCTs.

Banyak orang Kristen tidak memahami dengan benar pribadi Tuhan yang disembah. Hal ini terlhat dari kebingungan umat Kristen ketika berapologet dengan non Kristen. Oleh karena itu penting mengenal dan memahami siapa pribadi YHWH dalam alkitab. Dan bagaimana YHWH bertindak sebagai TUHAN bagi bangsa Israel. Sebagai TUHAN, YHWH memiliki perjanjian dengan umat pilihan-Nya. Oleh karena itu sangat penting memahami pribadi YHWH dan bagaimana ikatan hubungan dengan umat Israel.TUHAN tidak dapat diukur dengan nama tertentu, untuk menentukan siapa pribadi-Nya sesungguhnya. Israel kuno banyak menggunakan julukan kepada pribadi TUHAN, bahwa pemberian ragam nama TUHAN Israel sebatas menyatakan ada satu figur yang lebih tinggi, lebih hebat, lebih kudus, atau lebih berkuasa dari manusia.

Kitab Keluaran merupakan salah satu kitab Pentateukh yang kedua, dimulai dari Yakub dan sekeluarganya pindah dari Kanaan ke Mesir karena kelaparan yang melanda Kanaan. Memahami kitab Keluaran secara mendalam memberikan pemahaman yang lebih luas atau lebih lengkap karena menceritakan sejarah dari bangsa Israel. Setelah keluarnya bangsa Israel dari tanah Mesir mereka mengembara di padang gurun. Bangsa Israel sampai di Sinai di bulan ke tiga, sekitar 50 hari setelah meninggalkan mesir. Pada bulan ketiga itu adalah tepat hari raya Pentakosta. Kemudian Musa mendaki Gunung Sinai untuk mendapatkan wahyu dari Tuhan, Tuhan pun berbicara kepada Musa untuk memberikan perjanjian kepada umat-Nya yaitu bangsa Israel. Kajian ini dibuat atas pengertian tentang penulisan kitab yang akan menyingkap dalam penulisan kitab Keluaran 19 yaitu Konsep YHWH di Perjanjian Sinai.
RANCANG BANGUN SISTEM INFORMASI PENJUALAN PRODUK HERBAL AQILLA FRESH SUKABUMI DENGAN METODE SEKUENSIAL LINIER
Authors: Firdaus Muhammad Rizky
Published: June 2020

Aqillah Fresh is a shop that sells herbal drinks, which was founded in 2017. This shop has sold many products and also got many customers. The data is managed by the owner of this herbal shop, starting from payment transactions, customer names, product stock and other data. But in managing these data the manager still uses conventional methods such as recording purchases, customer names and product data manually so as to create the accumulation of data. Therefore this study aims to create a websitebased information system in order to make it easier for customers to buy products from this Aqillah Fresh Store and also can make it easier for the manager to be able to manage the data that is in this store. The method used in the design of this information system uses a linear sequential method. This method proposes an approach to system developers systematically and sequentially, starting from system analysis, system design, application development, application testing and maintenance. The results of this study are an E-Commerce application that can facilitate customers in buying products at the Aqilla Fresh Store and also can facilitate the management in managing data at this store.
Data Fusion of Multivariate Time Series Based on Local Maximum Weighted Coefficient
Authors: Diao Chen
Published: June 2020

In this paper, a novel fusion data algorithm is proposed via local Maximum weighted coefficient algorithm. For effectively fusing multivariate time series and reserving the motion information of original system, the weighted coefficients are rationally estimated the fusion state. Experimental results show that the algorithm can obtain desirable results on Lorenz model and multi-lead ECG signals.
Can psychological traits explain mobility behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic?

The current COVID19 pandemic is a global exogenous shock, impacting individuals’ decision making and behaviour allowing researchers to test theories of personality by exploring how traits, in conjunction with individual and societal differences affect compliance and cooperation. Study 1 used Google Mobility data and nation-level personality data from 31 countries, both before and after region-specific legislative interventions, finding that agreeable nations are most consistently compliant with mobility restrictions. Study 2 (N=105,857) replicated these findings using individual-level data, showing that several personality traits predict sheltering in place behavior, but extraverts are especially likely to remain mobile. Overall, our analyses reveal robust relationships between traits and regulatory compliance (mobility behaviour) both before and after region specific legislative interventions, and the global declaration of the pandemic. Further, we find significant effects on reasons for leaving home, as well as age and gender differences, particularly relating to female agreeableness for previous and future social mobility behaviours. These sex differences, however, are only visible for those living in households with two or more people, suggesting that such findings may be driven by division of labour.
Spring break or heart break? Extending valence bias to emotional words
Authors: Harp Nicholas , Brown Catie , Neta Maital

Ambiguous stimuli are useful for assessing emotional bias. For example, surprised faces could convey a positive or negative meaning, and the degree to which an individual interprets these expressions as positive or negative represents their “valence bias.” Currently, the most well-validated ambiguous stimuli for assessing valence bias include nonverbal signals (faces and scenes), overlooking an inherent ambiguity in verbal signals. This study identified 32 words with dual-valence ambiguity (i.e., relatively high inter-subject variability in valence ratings and relatively slow response times) and length-matched clearly valenced words (16 positive, 16 negative). Preregistered analyses demonstrated that the words-based valence bias correlated with the bias for faces (rs(213)=.27, p<.001) and scenes (rs(204)=.46, p<.001). That is, the same people that interpret ambiguous faces/scenes as positive also interpret ambiguous words as positive. These findings provide a novel tool for measuring valence bias and greater generalizability resulting in a more robust measure of this bias.
The Effects of Smoking on Mood, Rapport, and Satisfaction in Conversation among Japanese Smokers in A First Meeting: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Through a randomized control design, this study examines whether tobacco consumption contributes to mood change and social enhancement in dyadic conversation. In addition, we would like to focus on the difference between smoking device and cigarette use. Specifically, we compare the intrapersonal and interpersonal communication in dyadic conversation among the cigarette group, the smoking device cigarette group, the water group, and the nothing consumption group. In the present study, 80 participants engaged in a dyadic, face-to-face, unstructured conversation with a stranger of the same gender. Regarding intrapersonal communication, no significant differences were found between the groups’ POMS 2 subscale scores (anger-hostility, confusion-bewilderment, depression-dejection, tension-anxiety, fatigue-inertia, vigour-activity, and friendliness). The smoking device and cigarette groups had greater rapport than the water group. Moreover, the smoking device group were more satisfied with dyadic conversation than the water group. Finally, there were no significant differences in verbal communication among the groups.
Incremental hypothesis revision in causal reasoning across development

We explore whether children’s strategies on a causal learning task show a bias observed in adults towards “exploitative” hypothesis revision. Adults and children (ages 4–6) were presented with evidence which initially seemed to conform to a simple, salient rule (e.g. blue blocks activate a machine), but then encountered evidence that violated this rule. The true rule in the "near" condition was more complex, but could be reached through iterative revision of the salient rule, while in the "distant" condition, the true rule was comparatively simple, but incremental revision could not yield the true rule. Participants then predicted the behaviour of a set of new blocks. Adults performed better in the near condition, while in the distant condition adults did not appear to revise their initial hypothesis significantly. Unlike adults, children's overall performance in both conditions was similar, while condition differences may reflect a broader search for alternative solutions.
The Covid-19 Lockdown “Natural Experiment” That Has Already Been Conducted
Authors: halperin daniel
Published: June 2020

In the six U.S. states which never imposed stricter isolation measures, as of June 1, 2020 observable increases in new cases and deaths had not occurred, compared to demographically and otherwise similarly rural neighboring states that imposed tight lockdowns. This is consistent with the fact that modeling forecasts of a sharp uptick of deaths across the United States -- as many (also largely rural) states began reopening around early May of 2020 -- turned out to be considerably overdrawn. A key implication of the experience from the six non-lockdown U.S. states, as well as from countries like Sweden, is not that Covid-19 mortality deaths in those places have been lower, but rather that if outcomes have not generally been worse than elsewhere this suggests that similar results may be achieved at substantially lesser economic, societal, and quality-of-life cost. The urge to apply a one-size-fits-all approach should be reexamined.
