LUTAS/ARTES MARCIAIS DA EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA ESCOLAR: Entremeando Jogo, Rizoma e Educação-Experiência
Authors: Pereira Álex Sousa , Reis Fábio Pinto Gonçalves dos
Published: October 2023

Nesta obra, os autores desbravam os caminhos complexos das Lutas/Artes Marciais na educação e localizam o seu lugar no ensino da Educação Física, revisitando o mosaico histórico sob o prisma da cultura corporal. Eles questionam as perspectivas pedagógicas mais tradicionais em torno dessas práticas, convidando Deleuze e Guattari para conjuntamente tecer uma trama rizomática segundo a qual as experiências se tornam uma dança com múltiplas entradas formativas às crianças e jovens, indo desde a tradição marcial até o universo dos animes. A audácia dessa abordagem ressuscita a eterna fluidez entre sujeito e objeto investigativo, razão pela qual a Pedagogia do Jogo e a Educação-Experiência emergem para questionar as fronteiras do ensino centrado na técnica (como fazer?) desconectado à tática (quando e por que fazer?) e dos aspectos socioculturais, propiciando o diálogo profícuo entre professores/as e educandos/as. Um real convite ao encontro do humano com uma arte milenar na multiplicidade da arena educacional, unindo paixão, reflexão e a eterna busca pela verdadeira arte de ensinar.

Published: October 2023

Partindo do pressuposto de que a brincadeira como atividade expressiva, pode desenvolver a criatividade, a expressão, a comunicação, a imaginação e promover a socialização. Na Educação Infantil o brincar é reconhecido como eixo do trabalho educativo está ligado ao desenvolvimento integral da criança, em todos os aspectos cognitivo, físico, psicológico, social, e a concepção de desenvolvimento relacionada ao lúdico, ligado as brincadeiras, ao faz de conta, etc. A partir desse entendimento os espaços e momentos das escolas de Educação Infantil precisam estar organizadas de maneira a permitir a expressividade das crianças por meio do brincar explorando também os espaços externos. Tendo a criança como foco do processo educativo e centro do planejamento, fica sugerido a partir dessa pesquisa bibliográfica aos profissionais, a construção de ambientes de convivência, experiência e aprendizagem nos espaços externos da instituição, como forma de melhorar e ampliar os espaços de vivências e ampliar a diversidade para os brincares das crianças.
Developing a Machine Learning Algorithm for Improved Management of Congestive Heart Failure Patients in the Emergency Department
Authors: Karamo Bah , Amadou Wurry Jallow , Adama Ns Bah , Musa Touray
Published: October 2023

Background and aim: Congestive heart failure is a prevalent and serious condition that poses significant challenges in the emergency department setting. Prompt and accurate management of congestive heart failure patients is crucial for improving outcomes and optimizing resource utilization. This study aims to address these challenges by developing a machine learning algorithm and comparing it to a traditional logistic regression model that can assist in the triage, resource allocation, and long-term prognostication of congestive heart failure patients. Methods: In this investigation, we used the MIMIC-III database, a publicly accessible resource containing patient data from ICU settings. Traditional logistic regression, along with the robust XGBoost and random forest algorithms, was harnessed to construct predictive models. These models were built using a range of pretreatment clinical variables. To pinpoint the most pertinent features, we carried out a univariate analysis. Ensuring robust performance and broad applicability, we adopted a nested cross-validation approach. This method enhances the precision and validation of our models by implementing multiple cross-validation iterations. Results: The performance of machine learning algorithms was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Notably, the random forest algorithm, despite having lower performance among the machine learning models still demonstrated significantly higher AUC than traditional logistic regression. The AUC for the XGBoost was 0.99, random forest 0.98, while traditional logistic regression was 0.57. The most important pretreatment variables associated with congestive heart failure include total bilirubin, creatine kinase, international normalized ratio (INR), sodium, age, creatinine, potassium, gender, alkaline phosphatase, and platelets. Conclusion: Machine learning techniques utilizing multiple pretreatment clinical variables outperform traditional logistic regression in aiding the triage, resource allocation, and long-term prognostication of congestive heart failure patients in the intensive care unit setting using MIMIC III data.

Published: October 2023

Rotary clod pulverizer is an agricultural implement, which help in reducing time used for farm operation in preparing the soil for planting. The objectives of this study were to carry out the performance evaluation of a tractor driven rotary clod pulverizer at different soil depth of 9, 18, 27, 36 and 45 cm of a sandy clay loamy textural soil. The parameters determined before, during and after experiment were; soil moisture content, bulk density, theoretical field capacity, effective field capacity, field efficiency. Thereafter, models were developed for the predictions of effective field capacity and field efficiency, as a function of the soil depth and the tractor speed. Results showed that the soil moisture content ranged between 17.07% and 19.78%, bulk density of the soil before penetration ranged between 1.25 gm/cm³ and 1.52 g/cm³, and ranged between 1.17 – 1.28 g/cm³ after penetration. Across the soil depth and tractor speed, the theoretical field capacities (TFC) ranged 0.1165 ha/hr and 0.357 ha/hr, while the effective field capacity (EFC) ranged between 0.1327 and 0.2347 ha h-1. The field efficiency (FE) ranged between 51.61 and 80.18% in across the soil depths and tractor speeds at 1.1, 1.6 and 2.5 km/h. The TFC values increase with tractor speed, indicating that the time required for the rotary clod pulverizer operation was lesser at higher speed than the time required for the operation at lower speed. Also, coefficient of determination (R2) of the developed regression equation between the soil depth and tractor speed for EFC and FC prediction were 73 and 94%, respectively. This showed that the developed model is reliable and accurate for the prediction of EFC and FC.
Psychiatric comorbidities in conduct disorders and neurobiological bases

Published: October 2023

Conduct disorder is rarely isolated, and the international literature shows a high and very diverse comorbidity. This article presents in particular the psychiatric comorbidity of conduct disorder with other externalized disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and internalized disorders such as mood disorder (depressive and bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders (abuse/dependence). These disorders seem to have a neurobiological substrate which implicates brain and hormonal changes, neurotransmitters alterations and environmental influences.

Published: October 2023

Overdenture magnetic attachments are designed to treat patients experiencing complications from tooth loss due to aging, with issues like alveolar ridge resorption and reduced oral function. The novel Magteeth™ magnetic attachment system has undergone innovation compared to previous magnet attachment describing an improved efficiency in denture magnetic attraction. A 76-year-old female patient came to Department of Prosthodontic Clinic, Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital to restore masticatory function and improve smile aesthetics. The clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed multiple missing teeth, specifically tooth numbers 18, 17, 15, 12, 11, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 37, 36, 35, 46, 47, and 48. Furthermore, there were chronic apical periodontitis, specifically gangrene radix, noted on teeth 16, 14, 13, 23, 27, 34, 38, and 44, and resorbed alveolar ridge on the missing tooth region. We use the Magteeth™ novel magnetic attachment in this case for the maxillary complete overdenture on tooth 25 to improve retention, and mandibular metal frame partial denture to ensure optimal function and patient satisfaction throughout the treatment process. Surface treatment on Magteeth™ root keeper and magnet is essential in denture and magnet integration. The novel Magteeth™ magnetic attachment is manage to overcome loss of retention problem during slight denture movements caused by chewing conventional attachments, which was the major disadvantage from the predecessor. Overall, the patient expresses satisfaction with the treatment in terms of both functionality and aesthetics.

Published: October 2023

In this article, we consider a fundamental but so far little-investigated area of crisis communication: Easy Language journalism and public communication. Specifically, we focus on Easy Finnish material related to the Covid-19 pandemic. By adopting a Discourse Analytic perspective, we look at the ways in which the pandemic is constructed as a crisis across genres and ideological discourses operating in the overall ecology of Finnish Easy Language mass communication. As a result, we identify and describe four discourses that are foregrounded in our data: responsibility discourse, equality discourse, trust discourse and coping discourse. Our results highlight the importance of Easy Language communication in supporting the social inclusion of its target groups during a time of global crisis further severed by the so-called infodemic. The data covers the years 2020 and 2021 and includes material from the media and third-sector organizations.
Kieli ja osallisuuden eri ulottuvuudet Suomessa asuvien ulkomaalaistaustaisten diskursseissa
Authors: Lehto Liisa-Maria
Published: October 2023

This article examines how inclusion is constructed in the discourses of migrants living in Finland. In the article, inclusion is discussed in relation to the concepts of integration and belonging. It is argued that inclusion, language and social structure are tied together through interaction. Drawing on data from pair conversations among migrants, the article focuses on the ways in which the participants speak about different dimensions of inclusion: concrete, abstract and solidary, and how these ways of speaking reflect language ideologies. The findings show that the concrete dimension of inclusion is depicted as requirements to learn Finnish and as tightly connected to the everyday context. Abstract inclusion implies the overall importance of language in human life and emphasizes the key role of language in crossing societal boundaries, and the solidary dimension emphasizes the reciprocity of language. The findings illustrate the participants’ willingness to make an effort to participate in society.
New insights into the trend towards English as a medium of instruction in European higher education through transdisciplinary participation
Authors: Hultgren Anna Kristina , Nao Marion , Wingrove Peter , Yuksel Dogan , Zuaro Beatrice
Published: October 2023

The drive towards English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in universities in non-English-dominant countries can generate heated debates, yet the drivers of EMI are still not fully understood. This position paper argues for transdisciplinary participation in order to shed new light on the drivers of EMI. Transdisciplinary participation is conceptualized as engaging with theories, methodologies and practices in other disciplines in order to approach a topical issue in a new way. We exemplify transdisciplinary participation as bringing together applied linguists and those involved in academic governance to re-theorize the rise of EMI as linked to steering at a distance governance reforms that have swept across the European higher education sector since the 1980s. Showcasing three cases from across Europe, we argue that steering at a distance may shed new light on the drivers of EMI. At a more general level, we highlight how disciplinary positioning shapes the creation of knowledge.
Caracterización paisajística para la activación de territorios en despoblación: el paisaje del agua del valle del río Beas (Jaén)
Authors: Muñoz-Godino Javier , Fernández Cacho Silvia , Loren-Méndez Mar , Millán Millán Pablo-M.
Published: October 2023

La caracterización de un paisaje cultural permite la identificación de valores singulares y específicos que sirvan como base para su reactivación y recuperación, lo que es especialmente beneficioso al hablar de territorios en riesgo de despoblación. Se toma como caso de estudio a caracterizar el valle del río Beas (Beas de Segura, Jaén), que reúne recursos patrimoniales históricamente influenciados por la presencia del agua, tales como regadíos, producción molinera, industria textil, sistemas anti-inundaciones o infraestructuras de abastecimiento que, no obstante, ven comprometida su permanencia en la actualidad. El objeto de la investigación es establecer la relación directa entre la caracterización del paisaje y su recuperación sostenible: frente a una tendencia habitual en el mundo rural de sustitución de características locales por aquellas extraídas de modelos urbanos estandarizados, se propone la divulgación y re-significación de estos valores mediante una metodología de registro multiescalar y con soporte cartográfico. De esta manera, se pretende favorecer no solo la lucha contra la despoblación de Beas de Segura, sino también la definición de herramientas transferibles a otros municipios con problemáticas semejantes.
Remendando los jirones del pasado: la reconstrucción de una casulla confeccionada con tejido nazarí (siglo XIV) como caso de estudio
Authors: Moreno Coll Araceli
Published: October 2023

Conocemos la existencia de una casulla hoy desaparecida gracias a dos fotografías antiguas conservadas en la Fototeca del Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España (Madrid). En ellas se muestra su delantero y espalda confeccionados con un gran número de retales de manufactura nazarí (siglo XIV). La diseminación y pérdida del patrimonio material andalusí que se dio a partir del siglo XIX se debió, entre otros motivos, al auge del coleccionismo. Es en este contexto cuando parece ser que la vestimenta eclesiástica fue descosida, recortada y vendida por piezas. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los fragmentos de tejido que pertenecieron a dicha vestimenta eclesiástica y reconstruirla digitalmente como si de un puzle se tratara. Para ello utilizaremos como herramienta un catálogo textil confeccionado previamente en el que se incluyen tejidos ornamentados con el mismo patrón decorativo y que se encuentran repartidos en nueve instituciones.

Portable and Parietal Art of Kamyana Mohyla, Ukraine
Authors: Radchenko Simon
Published: October 2023

Kamyana Mohyla is Ukraine's largest and most prominent rock art complex and is located at least one thousand kilometers from other comparable rock art sites. Situated on the western edge of the Eurasian Steppe belt, the site shows prehistoric imagery from several different contexts-some of its engravings are considered in the frame of European rock art, whilst others introduce local features, or find parallels in distant parts of Central Asia.This book presents the first digital study of the Kamyana Mohyla rock art, including iconic caves and an extensive collection of portable engraved stones. The text also links to a collection of 3D models which further illustrate these artefacts. Radchenko’s work fills a geographical gap in the discussion of Eurasian prehistoric art, placing Ukrainian prehistoric art in its global context. Combining archaeological methodologies with a strong narrative voice, the volume summarizes the research results of the last decade prior to the interruption of site activities at the onset of Russian aggression in Ukraine.
DEPREM SONRASI MEKANSAL ALAN KARARLARININ OLAĞANÜSTÜ HAL KARARNAMELERİ İLE DÜZENLENMESİ HAKKINDA BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: ÖZTÜRK K. Burak , ÖZKAYA ÖZLÜER Ilgın
Published: October 2023

6 Şubat Depremi’nin ardından depremden etkilenen illerde ilan edilen olağanüstü hal kapsamında çıkarılan 126 sayılı Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kararnamesi, depremzedelerin barınma ihtiyacını karşılamaya dönük olarak kesin ve geçici iskan alanlarının belirlenmesine ilişkin düzenlemeler içermektedir. Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin olağanüstü hal kanun hükmünde kararnamesi adıyla çıkarılan kararnamelerin anayasallık denetimine tâbi olmadığını hükme bağlayan 2016 tarihli son içtihadı uyarınca, 126 sayılı Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kararnamesi’nin de kanunlaşmadığı sürece yargısal denetiminin mümkün olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılabilir. Buna karşın hukuk düzeninin bütünlük ve tutarlılığı yönünden anılan kararnamenin anayasaya uygunluğunun tartışılması yine de anlamlıdır. Anayasa’nın olağanüstü hal kararnamelerinin olağanüstü halin gerekli kıldığı konularda çıkarılabileceğine ilişkin hükmü karşısında, Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin eski ve yeni tarihli kararlarından hareketle, olağanüstü hal kararnamelerinin olağanüstü hal süresini aşan sürekli bir etkiye sahip olamayacağı görülmektedir. Bu makalede, 126 sayılı Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kararnamesi’nin bir anlamda yeniden şehirleştirmeyi konu alan iskana ilişkin düzenlemelerinin mekânsal alan kullanımı, kamu mallarının mülkiyet rejimi ile temel hak ve özgürlükler üzerinde doğuracağı etkilerin kalıcılığı ve olağan hukuk düzenini geri dönüşü olmayacak biçimde başkalaştırma potansiyeliyle Anayasa’ya uygun olup olmadığı değerlendirilmektedir.

7269 sayılı Umumi Hayata Müessir Afetler Dolayısiyle Alınacak Tedbirlerle Yapılacak Yardımlara Dair Kanun uyarınca, afetzedelerin yıkılan veya ağır hasar gören binalarla olan mülkiyet ilişkileri, yeniden yapılacak binalardan veya verilecek inşaat kredisinden yararlanabilme durumları ancak hak sahipliği durumunu belgelemeleri ile mümkündür. Ayrıca depremden sonra gerçekleştirilen faaliyetler ile ilgili düzenlenen hasar tespit raporları idari yargıda tek başına dava edilebilir bir icrai işlem olarak nitelendirilmemektedir. Ancak hak sahipliği belgesine sahip olanlar bu belge ile birlikte raporu dava konusu edebilmektedirler. Bu çalışmada hak sahipliğinin tayin edilmesinde idarenin tutumu ve Danıştay kararları ışığında tespit edilen kriterler ortaya konulmaya çalışılacaktır. Böylelikle hizmet kusuru olarak kamu hizmetinin kötü işlemesinden sorumlu olan idarenin deprem olayından doğan mali sorumluluğundan kaçınmasının engellenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Zarar gören vatandaşların insanca yaşama hakkının doğrudan gereği olan konut hakkının yerine getirilmesinde ortaya çıkabilecek hak mahrumiyetlerinin önüne geçilmesi ulaşılmak istenen bir diğer amaçtır. İdarenin mali açıdan tazmin sorumluluğunu yerine getirmesi sırasında depremzedelerin hak sahipliği statüsünde bulunmasına ilişkin ortaya çıkan sorunların giderilmesinden sonra; devletin hizmet kusuruna dayalı sorumluluğunun bu durum dışında tezahür etmesi açıklanacaktır.

As highlighted in the literature, one of the main difficulties in mathematics is the management of different semiotic representations. This difficulty occurs in verticals throughout schooling and is often an obstacle to the proper learning process of mathematics. The present study aims to investigate the different facets of these difficulties with regard to mathematical tasks in secondary school. In particular, questions from Italian large-scale mathematics assessments are analyzed and interpreted through the theoretical lens of Duval’s (1993) theory. Statistical analyses on a robust national sample allow a framing of the main difficulties and provide valuable information in this field.

One of the problems around the forest is the very high dependence of the community on the forest. Forests are a source of life for the people, but on the one hand, forests must also be preserved. For this reason, it is necessary to look for new livelihoods, which still utilize forests but do not damage their sustainability. The choice is environmental tourism services. Against this background, this community service activity aims to increase the community's knowledge and skills regarding governance and tourism development. The method used in this service is by means of observation or surveys, counselling, training, mentoring, and product manufacturing skills. The results of the activity show an increase in knowledge and skills as measured by the pretest and post-test instruments. The community response to this activity was very positive. The community has new knowledge about how to take advantage of the local potential to become village tourism objects.
Geometrik Tezyinatlı Amasya Camii Mihrapları
Authors: KEMALOĞLU Zeynep
Published: October 2023

Geometrik süslemelerin ne zaman ortaya çıktığı kesin olarak bilinmemekle birlikte, insanlık tarihinin herhangi bir noktasında ya da herhangi bir kültürde rastlamak mümkündür. Ancak bu süslemenin gelişip sistematik düzenlemeler hâlinde uygulanması İslam sanatıyla birlikte olmuştur. Emevi dönemi ile başlayıp Abbasi, Karahanlı, Gazneli ve Büyük Selçuklu dönemleriyle gelişimini sürdüren geometrik kompozisyonlar, coğrafi bölgeye bağlı olmaksızın farklı malzemelerle çeşitli yüzeylere tatbik edilmiştir. Süslemenin her alanında sanatçılar tarafından sevilerek kullanılan geometrik kompozisyonlar bitkisel, figürlü ve yazı kompozisyonlarıyla birlikte Anadolu Selçuklu, Beylikler ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu dönemlerinde sürekli olarak uygulanmıştır. Sanatçıların maharetlerini sergileyebilecekleri alanlardan biri de mihraplardır. Mihrap; cami, mescit, türbe gibi dinî mekânlarda ibadet sırasında kıble (Mekke) yönünü tayin etmek için kullanılan mimari elamandır. Başlangıçta sade, üzerinde herhangi bir süsleme unsuru barındırmayan mihraplar zamanla farklı coğrafyalarda, çeşitli kültürler tarafından form ve süsleme açısından geliştirilip, zenginleştirilmiştir. Dinî yapıların en dikkat çeken elemanlardan biri olan mihraplarda sanatçılar, zenginleştirilmiş geometrik formlardan meydana gelen geometrik kompozisyonları son sınırlarına kadar deneme imkânı bulmuşlardır. Amasya, Orta Karadeniz’in en eski yerleşim merkezlerinden biri olmakla beraber, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun da önemli şehzade sancakları arasında yer almaktadır. Amasya’da, farklı dönemlere ait olmak üzere çok sayıda eser günümüze ulaşmıştır. Bu eserlerin başında hiç kuşkusuz camiler gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada Amasya il merkezinde, üzerinde geometrik süsleme un-suru bulunduran cami mihrapları konu edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucu dört adet mihrapta geometrik süslemeye rastlanmıştır. Bunlar Gök Medrese (Torumtay) Camii ve Bayezid Paşa Camii harim mihrapları ile II. Bayezid Camii son cemaat yeri doğu ve batı mihraplarıdır. Çalışma kapsamında, mihrapların teknik ve estetik özelliklerinin ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenmesi, değerlendirilmesi ve tanıtılması sanat tarihi açısından önem arz etmektedir.

Finding the Tangents from a Point to an Ellipse Exploiting its Reflective Property
Authors: Termine Daniele
Published: October 2023

To find the equations of tangent lines to an ellipse is traditionally considered a complex task, often requiring advanced mathematical skills such as calculus and trigonometry. This paper presents a new demonstration of an overlooked approach that simplifies this problem considerably. In particular, a system of three equation to represent the angular coefficient of the tangents was solved. The proof leverages the Reflective Property of the ellipse, and it employs it in a manner that extends beyond traditional geometric applications. The demonstrated method is versatile; it is applicable in various scenarios, whether the known point lies on the curve or the ellipse is translated. Finally, the integration of this approach into high-school mathematics education is recommended to provide students with a more accessible means of solving this challenging problem - the described technique requires neither long calculations nor the understanding of the aforementioned branches of mathematics.
HOXC11 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that homeobox C11, encoded by HOXC11, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. HOXC11 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of HOXC11 in primary tumors was correlated with patient overall and distant metastasis-free survival. Modulation of HOXC11 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Can Large Language Models Revolutionalize Open Government Data Portals? A Case of Using ChatGPT in statistics.gov.scot

Published: October 2023

Large language models possess tremendous natural language understanding and generation abilities. However, they often lack the ability to discern between fact and fiction, leading to factually incorrect responses. Open Government Data are repositories of, often times linked, information that is freely available to everyone. By combining these two technologies in a proof of concept designed application utilizing the GPT3.5 OpenAI model and the Scottish open statistics portal, we show that not only is it possible to augment the large language model's factuality of responses, but also propose a novel way to effectively access and retrieve statistical information from the data portal just through natural language querying. We anticipate that this paper will trigger a discussion regarding the transformation of Open Government Portals through large language models.

UBXN2B is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that UBX domain protein 2B, encoded by UBXN2B, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. UBXN2B mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of UBXN2B in primary tumors was correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of UBXN2B expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Sticky Brown Sludge Everywhere
Authors: Shreedhar Ganga
Published: October 2023

Behavioural science has sought to promote pro-environmental behaviours, like climate-friendly dietary change, and reducing travel emissions, and excessive waste. Nevertheless, there is a debate about how effective behavioural interventions are, and in turn, about the real barriers to enduring pro-environmental behaviour change. In this context, we conceptualise brown sludge as multi-level impediment to pro-environmental behaviour change, which results in higher environmental costs shared by the broader society, rather than solely by the individual actor. Building on Shahab and Lades (2021), we propose that brown sludge comprises an array of additional transaction costs, encompassing, but not restricted to, psychological, temporal, and uncertainty costs. Brown sludge can occur at the individual, social, institutional, and societal levels. Examples include confusing eco-information, delay and disinformation campaigns, and complicated systems and infrastructure leading to carbon lock-in.
Last millennium climate variability in the Romanian Carpathians: a synthesis
Authors: Nogueira Juliana , Rydval Miloš , Begović Krešimir
Published: October 2023

The Carpathian Mountains span Central and Eastern Europe and provide vital ecosystem functions and services. For this reason, the conservation status of the Carpathians is critical due to environmental pressures such as deforestation and the impacts of climate change, which has significantly affected the region's ecosystem dynamics and communities through increased frequency of floods and landslides as well as changes in species distribution. Paleoclimatic proxy archives are essential to identifying climate trends. This paper aims to synthesize the climatic changes observed in the Romanian Carpathians in the last millennium, having paleoclimatic records as a base. During the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) period in the Romanian Carpathians, wetter conditions prevailed mainly during the first part of this period, followed by a drying trend until the end of the MCA, while slightly warmer conditions were observed throughout the entire period. The timings were somewhat different between the northern and southern regions of the Romanian Carpathians. Another important climatic period, the Little Ice Age (LIA), was characterized by highly variable climatic conditions linked to forcings such as volcanic eruptions and solar activity. LIA was generally dry with intermittent episodes of heavy rains. Winter temperatures dropped between AD 1500 and 1750, while currently available proxy records suggest that summer temperatures were slightly above average. The LIA reached its coldest point in the early 19th century. Since then, Romania has been experiencing warmer conditions, during the so-called Current Warm Period (CWP), with temperatures increasing significantly after 1970, leading to negative impacts on agriculture and hydrology. While positive precipitation anomalies were recorded in the 19th and early 20th centuries, a decline in precipitation has been widely observed since 1970, with an increased occurrence of extreme climatic events. The current warm period in Romania is part of a larger trend of global warming attributed to human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion, leading to environmental and socioeconomic impacts. These paleoclimatic observations provide context for current climatic trends and emphasize the need for joint efforts by governments, NGOs, and local communities to develop adaptation and mitigation strategies in order to reduce the potential negative impacts of climate change on Romania's environment and population.
Statistical learning and retrieval-based inference in the acquired equivalence paradigm
Authors: Houser Troy , Krantz Louisa , Zeithamova Dagmar
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Generalization is fundamental to cognition. In acquired equivalence, twostimuli that share a common association become treated as equivalent, with informationacquired about one stimulus generalizing to the other. Acquired equivalence has beenthought to rely on integrating related memories as they are encoded, resulting in fastspontaneous generalization, but other studies suggested effortful on-demand recombinationof initially separate memories at retrieval. Here, we tested whether the tendency to separateversus integrate related information may depend on a methodological detail of a traditionalacquired equivalence paradigm.Methods: Human participants underwent feedback-based learning of overlapping face-sceneassociations, choosing a correct scene for a face from two options on each trial. Foil(incorrect) scenes were controlled for half of the participants to ensure that they can onlylearn from corrective feedback. The other half had foils selected randomly on each trial,allowing statistical learning of face-scene co-occurrence to supplement feedback-basedlearning. We hypothesized that the opportunity for statistical learning would boost learningand generalization and facilitate memory integration.Results: The opportunity for statistical learning increased associative learning andgeneralization. However, rather than integrated memories, generalization was increasedthrough learning during test.Discussion: The results indicate that the tendency for generalization in the acquiredequivalence is rather small, with no evidence for integrative encoding irrespective of group.They also highlight that methodological details of how associations are learned and testedmodulates performance and the involvement of cognitive processes that underlie it.
Playback Theatre and the Psyche of Performing Actors: A Phenomenological Study
Authors: Bhangale Aditi Manoj
Published: October 2023

Playback Theatre is a theatre of lived experiences that involves no scripts, costumes or wide open stages. Created for ordinary citizen actors and ordinary citizen audiences, it is a form that is valuable to both. The focus of this study is to understand Playback actors’ experiences in relation to their psyche, empathy towards others, the cathartic element of Playback Theatre, learning-healing through the form and the possibility of extraordinary and transpersonal experiences while acting. Following a preliminary focus group discussion with five participants, individual, in-depth interviews were conducted with six actors. The experiences discussed were member-checked at the end of each interview. Multiple iterations of thematic analysis and inter-rater reliability revealed five emergent themes corresponding to the factors under consideration. Synthesised member-checking was done through a final focus group discussion with the participants. The emergent themes may inform future intervention research including, but not limited to, applications to self-care and group therapeutic practices, special needs support and therapeutic recreation for individuals with neurodegenerative disorders.
Temporal Relations Among Changes in Activation, Avoidance, and Anxiety in the Unified Protocol

Published: October 2023

Behavioral activation and experiential avoidance are considered closely related transdiagnostic constructs. Decreases in behavioral activation and increases in avoidance are both thought to play a role in the maintenance of emotional disorder symptoms. Using a series of random intercept cross-lagged panel models, this study examined the temporal relations between change in behavioral activation, experiential avoidance, and anxiety symptoms during outpatient administration of the Unified Protocol. Between-person results demonstrated that greater avoidance was associated with lower activation, and more severe anxiety symptoms were associated with both greater avoidance and lower activation. Within-person results suggested that improvements in avoidance tended to predict increased activation and decreased anxiety symptoms. Changes in activation did not substantially predict changes in avoidance or anxiety. Overall, these results provide preliminary information on the timing of important therapeutic processes and may shed light on how clinicians should prioritize targets.
Immigration and Regional Specialization in AI
Authors: Hanson Gordon H.
Published: October 2023

I examine the specialization of US commuting zones in AI-related occupations over the 2000 to 2018 period. I define AI-related jobs based on keywords in Census occupational titles. Using the approach in Lin (2011) to identify new work, I measure job growth related to AI by weighting employment growth in AI-related occupations by the share of job titles in these occupations that were added after 1990. Overall, regional specialization in AI-related activities mirrors that of regional specialization in IT. However, foreign-born and native-born workers within the sector tend to cluster in different locations. Whereas specialization of the foreign-born in AI-related jobs is strongest in high-tech hubs with a preponderance of private-sector employment, native-born specialization in AI-related jobs is strongest in centers for military and space-related research. Nationally, foreign-born workers account for 55% of job growth in AI-related occupations since 2000. In regression analysis, I find that US commuting zones exposed to a larger increases in the supply of college-educated immigrants became more specialized in AI-related occupations and that this increased specialization was due entirely to the employment of the foreign born. My results suggest that access to highly skilled workers constrains AI-related job growth and that immigration of the college-educated helps relax this constraint.

Review
Authors: Khair Allah Raad
Published: October 2023

Art can be particularly an effective means of building transnational understanding across cultural divides. Specifically, the act of making art to express conflict, sexuality and identity is significant as Arab women have frequently been marginalised and excluded from such a site of visibility and meaning.  Contemporary Arab women artists not only contribute to global feminist theory but also deal with their aesthetic, visual and personal concerns. The Body in Twilight: Representation of the Human Body, Sexuality and Struggle in Contemporary Arab Art is a book by the Syrian professor of visual art and design Fassih Keiso. In this book, Keiso explores the representation of the human body in contemporary Arab art and its relationship to issues of sexuality and struggle. He argues that the representation of the body in Arab art reflects broader societal changes and struggles and that the use of the body as a site of resistance and political commentary is a common theme in contemporary Arab art. Despite the lack of images of artworks by the artists discussed in this book, the book provides a compelling contribution to comparative gender and feminist art and the broader international art on the centrality of sexuality in politics and society.
