The Controllosphere: The Neural Origin of Cognitive Effort
Authors: Holroyd Clay B.
Published: March 2023

Why do some mental activities feel harder than others? The answer to this question is surprisingly controversial. Current theories propose that cognitive effort affords a computational benefit, such as instigating a switch from an activity with low reward value to a different activity with higher reward value. By contrast, in this article I relate cognitive effort to the fact that brain neuroanatomy and neurophysiology render some neural states more energy-efficient than others. I introduce the concept of the “controllosphere,” an energy-inefficient region of neural state space associated with high control, which surrounds the better-known “intrinsic manifold”, an energy-efficient subspace associated with low control. Integration of control-theoretic principles with classic neurocomputational models of cognitive control suggests that dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) implements a controller that can drive the system state into the controllosphere, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) implements an observer that monitors changes of state of the controlled system, and cognitive effort reflects a mismatch between DLPFC and ACC energies for control and observation. On this account, cognitive effort scales with the energetic demands of the DLPFC control signal, especially when the consequences of the control are unobservable by ACC. Further, I propose that neural transitions through the controllosphere lead to a buildup of neural waste. Cognitive effort therefore prevents against neural damage by discouraging extended periods of high control.
Justifying employee gatekeeping: a video-elicitation and comparative study on resolving moral unease during hiring
Authors: De Keere Kobe
Published: March 2023

Hiring is an act of evaluation that comes with much organisational and social responsibility, making it a morally sensitive situation. The way employee gatekeepers come to terms with their selections presents itself as an exemplary case to study the moral dimension of organisational life. Relying on a pragmatist perspective and a regime of valuation framework, this article uncovers how employers experience moral uncertainty and justify their choices. Through a comparison of gatekeeping in two employment fields, this study covers new ground on how decision logics and regimes of valuation play out and can be structurally conditioned. Through in-depth interviews, combined with a ranking exercise based on video-elicitation, with recruiters and hiring managers from the corporate (n:23) and cultural (n:17) fields in the Netherlands, this paper explores how evaluation processes and selections are justified. The interviews show that a sense of moral unease is common among gatekeepers, but much more prevalent among corporate rather than cultural gatekeepers. Larger organizational size, high market pressure and lower supply of candidates does not translate into moral sterility for corporate gatekeepers. Second, the study reveals that a connexionist logic enters as a powerful justificatory regime, transforming candidate selection procedures into test of confession.
The entrepreneur, the trailblazer and the cosmopolitan: promoting the ideal worker through employee testimonials
Authors: De Keere Kobe , Cescon Fabio
Published: March 2023

It is a common practice among employers to publish employee testimonials on their websites. They are intended to attract and regulate employees by expressing organizational objectives and setting cultural standards for employee behaviour. As such, organisations systematically defuse a profile of what they deem their ‘ideal worker’. This study entails a combination of quantitative and qualitative content analysis of a sample of employee testimonials (N:181) published by a organisations (N:37) from four employment sectors (finance, tech, energy and government). In this way, it is explored which cultural repertoires organizations draw upon to regulate the identities of their (future) employees. Eventually, three ideal types of workers are distinguished: ‘the entrepreneur’, with an emphasis on risk-taking, hard work and passion, ‘the trailblazer’, focused on innovation and changing the world, and, ‘the cosmopolitan’, who fully embraces the globalized work environment. Significant variations exist in sectorial popularity of each ideal worker.
PERMASALAHAN PADA PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA
Authors: Khotimah Usnul
Published: March 2023

Pendidikan merupakan suatu kebutuhan yang harus dipenuhi oleh setiap individu. Secara umum, melalui proses pendidikan diharapkan senantiasa membantu peserta didik dalam mengembangkan potensinya untuk untuk belajar lebih banyak dan terus belajar dalam arti yang seluas mungkin. Di mana pendidikan tidak lepas dari segala aktivitas yang dilakukan oleh manusia. Pendidikan pada umumnya terbagi menjadi tiga yaitu: pendidikan formal, pendidikan informal, dan juga pendidikan non-formal. Pendidikan di Indonesia terbilang masih memprihatinkan. Dapat dikatakan bahwa pendidikan di Indonesia belum sebanding dengan pendidikan yang ada negara-negara maju. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pendidikan di Indonesia banyak mengalami ketertinggalan yang jauh, banyak pembelajaran yang ada di sekolah yang tidak sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman. Pendidikan di Indonesia saat ini juga masih dihadapkan dengan berbagai tantangan dan permasalahan seperti akses yang masih terbatas di beberapa daerah atau desa, kualitas pendidikan yang bervariasi antar daerah, rendahnya tingkat literasi dan skill, serta minimnya keterlibatan masyarakat dalam sebuah pendidikan.
KEDUDUKAN INOVASI PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA
Authors: Rahayu Puji
Published: March 2023

Pada setiap implementasi suatu program pembaharuan pendidikan pada level kelas, guru memegang peranan penting dan menentukan. Begitu juga dengan implementasi kurikulum berbasis kompetensi, keberhasilannya sangat tergantung pada kemauan dan kemampuan guru untuk melaksanakannya. Guru adalah kunci setiap upaya pembaharuan di sekolah. Oleh sebab itu, upaya pembaharuan pendidikan di sekolah harus berangkat dari upaya membangunperilaku guru ke arah pembaharuan. Keengganan dan ketidak-mampuan guru untuk melaksanakan inovasi mengakibatkan setiap pembaharuan pendidikan tidak pernah berjalan sebagaimana diharapkan. Keengganan untuk melakukan pembaharuan di dunia pendidikan, antara lain, diperkenalkan oleh Domoyer (1978); Hull dan Rudduck, J. (1991), Fullan (1991) serta Bennet, dkk. (1991). Dari hasil kerja mereka ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa keengganan guru melaksanakan inovasi pendidikan disebabkan oleh hal-hal sebagai berikut: (1). latar belakang pengetahuan dan kemampuan bidang yang dikuasai guru untuk melaksanakan pembaharuan pendidikan tidak memadai; (2). pelaksanaan pembaharuan di bidang pengajaran terlalu kompleks dan memakan waktu, (3). ketidakjelasan akan dampak langsung pada diri siswa segera setelah pembaharuan dilaksanakan; (4). umumnya orang yang terlibat dalam pendidikan lebih menyukai status quo. Konservatisme ini mengakibatkan kesulitan bagi pelaksana pendidikan yang mau melakukan pembaharuan; (5). pembaharuan seringkali hanya menyangkut aspek yang sifatnya supervisial. Keadaan seperti ini, dalam pandangan guru, mengakibatkan pembaharuan yang dilakukan tidak membawa makna apa-apa bagi kemajuan pendidikan; dan (6). terkait dengan pertanyaan bagaimana mengetahui pembaharuantertentu itu bermakna, dan siapa yang memutuskannya.( Cuban 1988:89 )

INOVASI PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA ALA NADIEM MAKARIM
Authors: Nabila Syarifah
Published: March 2023

Pendidikan di Indonesia saat ini sangat rendah, buruk dan tertinggal dari negara-negara lain. Peringkat pendidikan Indonesia berada di urutan ke 65 dari 68 negara. Penyebabnya karena sistem pendidikan di Indonesia membuat standar yang untuk semua siswa dengan mendewakan nilai dan mematikan nalar berpikir kritis. Oleh karena itu, Nadiem Makarim menyatakan, ada "3 Resep" menuju inovasi pendidikan yang lebih baik dalam instansi Kemendikbud. Ketiga poin tersebut adalah fleksibilitas dengan orientasi kebebasan, resources pelatihan, dan tujuan para pegawai yang terarah. Dan menurut Nadiem, apabila 3 resep organisasi itu sudah dijalankan maka instansi pendidikan Indonesia akan lebih baik. Inovasi akan lahir jika setiap orang diberi kebebasan berpendapat dan mengeluarkan pemikirannya. Untuk mendukung inovasi, kita memerlukan pelatihan, mentoring, dan pengembangan ilmu serta dukungan finansial dari instansi.
A Dialogue between Curriculum Development and Postmodern Perspectives: A Context of Local Knowledge
Authors: Bhattarai Devi Prasad , Basnet Hom Bahadur
Published: March 2023

This article provides insights into curriculum development from a postmodern perspective on the sustainability and usability of local or indigenous knowledge systems. This paper examines the western thoughts that potentially affect local and indigenous knowledge by analyzing interviews with scholars involved in higher education and explores how western thoughts affect the existing Nepalese school curriculum. Although western thought permeates and pervades our educational practices, the benefits go to them implicitly by subordinating us. There is an argument in the article that postmodern ideas have originated in the womb of western understanding; the ideas in this article are argued to be adaptable to our curriculum development. The rationale behind it is that our current curriculum thinking, from Tayler to Hlynka and Yeaman’s outline of key postmodern thinking, ignores the indigenous nature of knowledge systems, largely othering them as subordinate knowledge.  It explores that the developed curriculum should represent unheard voices, ignored realities, and the histories and experiences of underrepresented groups. The authors conclude by suggesting that policies, plans, and programs should be adapted to reflect the underrepresented and unheard voices of the society.

How to preserve and protect the environment all over the world in present times. This is a big Yaksha question. There is an uproar in the whole world regarding this issue. Not only the humans living on this earth but also the animals, birds, trees, mountains, lakes and even the space are struggling with this problem. Continuous cutting of trees in the name of development, blowing up mountains using dynamite, pollution of rivers, lakes, oceans, holes in the ozone layer only indicate the dire situation of natural imbalance. Sometimes heavy rain, sometimes no rain, sometimes thunder, sometimes snow, sometimes flood, sometimes drought, sometimes highest temperature, sometimes lowest temperature, sometimes cloudburst, sometimes earthquake and sometimes volcanic eruption, the ecosystem is affected due to such critical and odd conditions. Unbalanced, unseasonal production of fruits and vegetables is also affecting us badly. This is the side effect of distance from materialistic human nature. In fact, in our ancient Sanatan religion and culture, nature has an intimate and unbroken relationship with man.

Les prêts à cout élevé, y compris les prêts à tempérament à taux élevé ainsi que les petits prêts sur salaire à cout élevé, sont courants au Canada et, comme nous le montrons, le sont encore plus aujourd’hui qu’ils ne l’étaient autrefois. Les sociétés prêteuses sont des entreprises privées et ne sont pas tenues de rendre compte du volume de leurs prêts ni des caractéristiques de leurs emprunteur·ses. Cependant, les données associées aux déclarations de faillite permettent d’estimer le nombre de prêts à cout élevé figurant dans les dettes des personnes qui déclarent une faillite personnelle, ainsi que l’évolution de ce nombre entre 2011 et 2019. Nous constatons que ce nombre a triplé, grosso modo, même si le nombre de faillites est demeuré à peu près constant. Nous examinons par ailleurs la situation au Québec, seule province à ne pas avoir de loi visant spécifiquement les sociétés de prêt sur salaire.
How teenagers view bullying: gender differences and psychological implications
Authors: Shevtsova Olena , Kokhanova Olena
Published: March 2023

The article describes psychological peculiarities and gender differences in how teenagers view the phenomenon of bullying; it delineates psychological implications and health impacts of bullying. The aim is to identify gender peculiarities of teenagers’ perception of bullying and its psychological implications on their health. The main method of this empirical study was questionnaire. Teenage participants received the approbated questionnaire developed by the authors of this article. The research determines how teenagers understand the causes and consequences of bullying, ascertains how teenagers are involved in bullying including the role behaviour, and identifies psychological peculiarities of bullying in relation to gender identification of participants. Responses to the questionnaire demonstrate that two genders equally participate in bullying. Girls and boys communicate experiencing negative emotions of anger, hate, aggression, pity, anxiety, fear, and offense both during direct involvement in bullying and during observation of bullying from aside. Teenage girls tend to be more involved in psychological bullying while boys are more involved in physical bullying.
Conclusions. Teenage involvement in bullying necessarily involves negative emotions regardless of the role in bullying or gender of the participants. Psychological implications of bullying correlate to its strength and duration; can be short term and/or long term and affect individual well-being of all immediate participants of bullying stretching its negative impacts on psychological health even to adulthood. Therefore, systemic approach to prevent and oppose teenage bullying is indisputably pertinent.
Implementation of nomadic practices in creativity of Hryhorii Skovoroda and Taras Shevchenko
Authors: Knysh Inna
Published: March 2023

In view of modern social demands, understanding of nomadic practices regarding formation of a worldview and search for ways of self-realization of an individual acquires special relevance. The embodiment of nomadic practices of vagantism in the life and work of Hryhorii Skovoroda and Taras Shevchenko is considered. If Hryhorii Skovoroda earned a living on his own and studied in his homeland, Taras Shevchenko mostly lived at the expense of patrons and received his education abroad. The authorities persistently tried to sedentarize both of them: Hryhorii Skovoroda was invited to the imperial court, and Taras Shevchenko was imprisoned. Hryhorii Skovoroda’s enlightening activity was aimed at exposing social defects, and the educational one was directed at introduction of innovative education methods, creation of one’s own system for evaluating knowledge, abilities and skills of schoolchildren and students, which resonate with the modern scale. Taras Shevchenko was concerned with preservation of the ethnographic heritage of the Ukrainian people and participated in political life, created his own picture of the world, gave moral and value instructions. Both figures introduced practices similar to nomadic ones, participating in creation of neo-tribes: Taras Shevchenko implemented his democratic beliefs in the Cyril and Methodius Society, Hryhorii Skovoroda nurtured the idea of the “Heaven Republic”. Awareness of his own unconformity with the world forced Hryhorii Skovoroda to renounce its charms in favor of seclusion and a wandering life, instead, Taras Shevchenko’s personal freedom was limited by punitive authorities. The nomadic features inherent in the self-awareness and self-realization of Hryhorii Skovoroda and Taras Shevchenko, determined by the totality of the given circumstances, are compared. It is noted that public servants, applying nomadic practices similar to mobbing, constantly reminded them of their low social status, “uselessness to the world and time”, and also tried in every possible way to hinder the innovative cultural and political activities of Taras Shevchenko, the innovative educational and philosophical activities of Hryhorii Skovoroda. It has been established that Hryhorii Skovoroda and Taras Shevchenko were people who were significantly ahead of their time in terms of their way of life and thinking. The purpose of the article is to embody nomadic practices in the works of Hryhorii Skovoroda and Taras Shevchenko.
Transhumanism: stages, concepts, advantages, risks
Authors: Kultenko V. , Savytska Inna
Published: March 2023

From a philosophical point of view, the peculiarities of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of such a phenomenon of the modern world as transhumanism are investigated. The phenomenon of transhumanism needs a thorough philosophical understanding, taking into account the claims put forward within its limits. After all, transhumanism at the philosophical and scientific level recognizes the possibility of improving human nature from the point of view of avoiding suffering, disease, and death; expanding her physical, mental and psychological capabilities. It is about using scientific tools to create a superhuman. What used to belong to the realm of fiction is becoming a real possibility in today's world. However, since we are talking about the endowment of a person with supernatural capabilities, despite the dizzying opportunities that open up, it is necessary to take into account the ethical aspect of the problem, the moments of responsibility of scientists for their scientific actions from the point of view of the threats they may pose. The research asks why, despite all the dangers associated with human intervention in nature and the largely unpredictable consequences of such interventions, people still do not give up on experiments to improve their nature?

Master block pattern development for fit evaluation based on adult female anthropometric data and body shapes using Telestia-AB patternmaking system
Authors: Zakaria Norsaadah , Tajuddin Rosita Mohd
Published: March 2023

Developing well-fit garments is relevant in the garment industry, especially to achieve the quality of corporate uniform wear. A garment that looks good must also fit the body. The first process for garment fitting is to develop the body pattern that acts as the form for body shape before translating it to the desired garment design. Thus, the focus of this study is to construct a good master block pattern that fit the body well. Size, shape, and proportions are considered factors that contribute to a well-fitted garment. This study involves anthropometric study, master block development, pattern assembly onto fabric, basic garment constructions, and fitting analytics. The fit analytics are a relevant part of a fit evaluation to model the best method to develop body patterns and wear analysis for each individual for better-fit garment consumption. The conclusion showed that using sophisticated Telestia-AB tools and Telestia body key dimensions expedites the process of body block pattern for fit evaluation. The wear trial process is to determine how the bodice block fits before transforming it into the design pattern for corporate wear. This research concludes that developing a proper body pattern based on the anthropometric data is crucial as the fit of the garment is achievable with the right pattern-making system and skillset.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate burns, from any situation, and the treatment in the Burn Center of Yala Hospital. Material and Methods: This research was a retrospective study in the Burn Center of Yala Hospital; from April 1, 2019 to May 31, 2021. Results: Enrollment consisted of 161 burn patients (male 65.8%, female 34.2%). Most burns in children were scalds (67.3%); whereas, in adults and the elderly they were flame burns (51.0% in adults and 66.7% in the elderly) (p-value<0.001), which were usually <20% of total body surface area (p-value<0.001). Most burns were superficial second degree burns. Patients in all age groups required surgical intervention (p-value=0.003). The median length of hospital stay was approximately seven days (IQR4-17); however, the elderly required intensive care more often than other age groups (p-value=0.003). All enrolled cases survived. Conclusion: The most common cause of burns in adults and the elderly was burning from flames, while burns from scalds occurred most in children. Burns in the elderly were more severe, and required admission to the intensive care unit more than any other age group.

The article examines the development of dual education in German-speaking countries. Using the methods of analysis, systematization and generalization of the material, as well as using the principle of historicism and objectivity, the author carried out a retrospective analysis of historical processes that contributed to the development of dual education in the professional education system of countries such as Germany and Austria. It was established that the dual form of vocational training is based on craft professions, and its development is considered in the context of the practice of a manufacturing enterprise; the role of the pedagogical team in the educational process (master craftsman), in apprenticeship, and production master at the enterprise was evaluated); the content and methods of training were directly related to the real conditions of production and its needs. The historical analysis of the development of dual education in German-speaking countries made it possible to single out the main stages of its formation (the Middle Ages, the XVII-XVIII centuries, the XIX century, the 60s of the XX century, the present time).

The article considers the definitions “language etiquette”, “speech etiquette” and points out the difference between them. It scrutinizes the aspects of the language culture, analyses the speech culture with its normative, communicative and ethical aspects and studies the most frequently used ethical patterns.
The author introduces a general functional typology of Ukrainian people speech etiquette units, represented as typical patterns, and proves communication participants are expected not only to keep to the rules of the speech etiquette, but also to pick up socially acceptable relevant patterns out of a set of grammatically and stylistically synonymic units. Speech culture is an important part of communicative competence training. Speech etiquette patterns are supposed to represent the politeness of the parties involved into communication. Keeping to the etiquette rules participants show their friendliness, amiability, respect, delicacy, good humour and other positive features Ukrainians are long known for. Professional language helps learn special disciplines, promotes labour efficiency and activates business contacts. Training non-philology students’ professional speaking competence is a continuous process which may be an important part of both lingual and professional disciplines opening opportunity to learn and use the terminology of future profession.
