Stimuli Are Perceived as Lasting Longer When There Is Something Bright on the Screen
Authors: Karsilar Hakan , Mathot Sebastiaan , van Rijn Hedderik
Published: February 2024

Perceived time often diverges from physical time. This discrepancy is important given the crucial role of time perception in numerous cognitive processes. A critical question concerning the non-veridicality of timing is whether and how different physical attributes (e.g., size, speed, and numerosity) influence perceived duration. The present study deals specifically with how perceived time depends on stimulus brightness, both of a to-be-timed stimulus and the background on which this stimulus is presented. The results of two experiments show that increased brightness lengthens perceived duration, and, surprisingly, that this is the case both for the stimulus and the background. The finding that stimulus brightness affects time perception is a much needed replication of classic studies; however, the finding that background brightness similarly affects time perception is novel, and suggests that time perception may be biased by low-level visual perception. Additionally, we tested the hypothesis that large pupils (as a result of spontaneous pupil-size fluctuations) are associated with longer perceived durations. This hypothesis was based on the common assumption that arousal affects both pupil size and time perception; however, in contrast to this hypothesis, results show that pupil size has no relation to perceived time. Taken together, our study suggests that time perception is strongly affected by low-level visual input (brightness) but not—or hardly—by pupil-linked arousal.
The conflict between oral health and patient autonomy in dentistry: a scoping review
Authors: Kovács Szilárd Dávid , Zörgő Szilvia , Kovács József
Published: February 2024

Background: Respect for patient autonomy serves as a core principle in present-day medicine. However, if a patient’s request is medically not indicated, the practitioner faces an ethical dilemma represented by the conflict of the principles of patient autonomy, beneficence, and maleficence. Adjacent to topics as e.g. medical assistance in dying and healthy limb amputation, this ethical dilemma also manifests itself in the care of the maxillofacial region (the oral cavity and its surroundings), an area crucial to esthetic appearance, thus to psychosocial well-being. Our aim was to explore the manifestations and resolutions of the conflict between oral health and patient autonomy in relevant literature in order to contribute to the discourse of ethical challenges concerning patient autonomy, beneficence, and nonmaleficence. Methods: We screened all journal articles discussing the researched ethical dilemma obtained from three databases written in English that possess a DOI and an abstract. Two researchers developed a hierarchical coding scheme, where the parent codes were designated deductively as: Case (situations involving the researched ethical dilemma), Judgement (decisions made in the ethical dilemma), and Principle (ideas, rules, propositions explaining the judgements); child codes were developed inductively. After coding the sources, we utilized thematic analysis to interpret code constellations. Results: Most themes identified in our sources advocated for the practitioner to choose the alternative that benefits the patient from a medical perspective, although no theme excluded the consideration of patient autonomy. Instances where the respect for patient autonomy was encouraged were cases concerning oral preventive care or when the impact of the requested intervention was expected to not be significant on oral health. Conclusions: Although not signifying life-or-death questions, ethical conflicts concerning patient autonomy, beneficence, and nonmaleficence also have a marked presence in oral care. These conflicts arise through the issue of body modification, evident in cosmetic dentistry and request for tooth extraction. Our sources generally support the argumentation for beneficence despite the rise of cosmetic procedures in dentistry.
Examining structural and semantic predictors of announced sarcasm on r/AskReddit
Authors: Hew Joshua , Tarighat Aida , Corley Martin , Horne Zachary
Published: February 2024

People sometimes explicitly announce that they are being sarcastic. The announcement appears to be particularly common in text-based conversations where prosodic cues are more difficult to identify. In certain cases, the tone of a comment is sufficient to determine non-literal meaning. However, what happens in the absence of these features, or when context forces us to explicitly caveat our sarcasm? In this study, we examined Reddit comments from r/AskReddit for the features that are present in comments tagged with "/s", a convention on the platform for users to denote sarcasm. We found that a host of cues which mimic prosody, and other aspects of figures of speech, were inconsistent predictors of announced sarcasm. In contrast, when talking about sociomoral topics such as politics or race, users were more likely to tag their comments with "/s". This suggests that users are more likely to announce sarcasm in text-based conversations where misinterpretation would be socially detrimental.
On the existence and uniqueness of MLE of the latent trait under log-concave distributional assumptions in IRT
Authors: Cheng Che , Yang Hau-Hung , Hsu Yung Fong
Published: February 2024

This research investigates the conditions for the uniqueness and existence of maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the latent trait in item response theory (IRT). The popular IRT models, including the one-parameter and two-parameter models, are special cases. Our theorem shows that responses being not all zeros or all ones is necessary and sufficient for the existence and uniqueness of MLE. Also, we note that while MLE can theoretically exist and be unique, the common Newton-Raphson algorithm might not always converge to it. To overcome this hurdle, we develop an algorithm, called IRTMLE, to ensure the finding of MLE in various cases. When the responses are uniformly zeros or ones, IRTMLE still offers reasonable latent ability estimates.
The role of expansion and adaptability of face-space for individual differences in face identity processing
Authors: Ficco Linda Alice , Ramon Meike , Schroeger Anna , Kaufmann Juergen M. , Schweinberger Stefan R.
Published: February 2024

Individuals can strongly vary in their ability to process face identity. Understanding the mechanisms driving these differences is important for theoretical development, and in clinical and applied contexts. Here we investigate the role of face-space properties in relation to individual face identity processing skills. We consider two fundamental properties of face-space: expansion (how distant from each other similar faces are located in such space) and adaptability (the degree to which these distances change over time). Fifty-two participants performed a face detection task, with faces systematically varying in their location in face-space, and a comprehensive face identity processing test battery. We replicate previous results indicating a detection advantage for typical, as compared to distinctive faces. Critically, we find that our measure of face-space expansion is not related to individual face processing abilities. However, one measure of face-space adaptability revealed that medium performers exhibit larger adaptation than high or low performers. This pattern seems to be especially driven by a test tapping into long-term memory for faces. While future studies might benefit from the use of more sensitive measures of face-space properties, these results suggest that perceptual adaptation, rather than face-space expansion, may be a contributor to individual differences in face memory.
The Way Forward for Grounded Cognition - Invariant Representations in Abstract Concept Grounding
Authors: Friedrich Jannis C. , Fischer Martin , Raab Markus
Published: February 2024

Grounded cognition states that mental representations of concepts consist of experiential aspects. For example, the concept ‘cup’ consists of the sensorimotor experiences from interactions with cups. Typical modalities in which concepts are grounded are: The sensorimotor system (incl. interoception), emotion, action, language, and social aspects. Here we argue that this list should be expanded to include physical invariants (unchanging features of physical motion; e.g., gravity, momentum, friction). Research on causal perception and physical reasoning consistently demonstrates that physical invariants are represented as fundamentally as other grounding substrates, and therefore should qualify. We assess several theories of concept representation (simulation, conceptual metaphor, conceptual spaces, predictive processing) and their positions on physical invariants. Significant problems in the current state of grounded cognition theories become evident. We outline a solution based on a minimalist account of grounded cognition, which is epistemologically secure and likely to foster falsifiable empirical work. We conclude that, with a reduced scope, and by including physical invariants, grounded cognition can progress past its impasse and seriously contend with established theoretical frameworks, providing a valuable contribution to understanding human cognition.
Religiosity/spirituality and mental health: The moderating role of Sensory Processing Sensitivity
Authors: Malinakova Klara , Vyvlečková Lucie , Novák Lukas
Published: February 2024

Objectives: Both religiosity/spirituality (R/S) and sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) are associated with mental health (MH); however, their mutual interaction in these associations has not yet been explored.Methods: We used an online sample (n=2406; 48.7±16.6 years; 50.2% males) to explore the association of spirituality, religious attendance and SPS, including its sensory aspect only (SPS-S), with anxiety, depression, neuroticism and 5 symptoms of MH problems.Results: Binary logistic regression models revealed no significant associations for religious attendance. Associations with all 5 observed symptoms of MH problems were observed for spirituality (Z-scores; odds ratios, ORs, ranging from 1.13 to 1.38, p<0.01-0.001), SPS (Z-scores; ORs 1.57-2.33; p<0.001) and SPS-S (Z-scores; ORs 1.38-1.73 p<0.001). However, the negative association of spirituality with MH could be at least partly explained by the moderating effect of SPS, as shown in other models and as also confirmed by a decrease of β coefficients in multivariate linear regression models.Conclusion: SPS is associated with worse MH. Its overlap with R/S may in some cases lead to an association of R/S with MH problems.
The pandemic's comparative impact on constitutional checks and balances within the EU
Authors: Bóck Caroline , Kettemann Matthias C.
Published: February 2024

COVID-19 has changed public and private live significantly. Some changes remain permanently. Although COVID-19 is no longer an immediate global health crisis, which has brought healthcare systems in particular close to collapse, the impact on social and economic systems is still being felt. Despite government subsidies, many companies have not survived the effects of the crisis. In addition, many people’s working lives and education have changed. Digital tools, such as online meetings and the option to work from home, are now part of everyday life, unlike before the pandemic.During the pandemic, short-term and fast-acting measures were necessary, which had to be issued by the various powers in special procedures. In most countries, the executive branch took on a central role in order to ensure the ability to act. At the same time, the legislative powers were restricted in their mode of operation. Plenary sessions of the parliaments could only be held to a very limited extent. The measures taken must be reviewed in terms of their effectiveness, but also in terms of their impact on constitutional checks and balances, in order to be able to take more effective, proportionate and constitutional measures for future pandemics.This research paper thus analyses and discusses the consequences of pandemic crisis measures on constitutional democracy in a number of European countries—in particular Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Sweden—, by examining the effects of Covid-19 measures on constitutional checks and balances, and the relations between the executives and legislatures. With a glimpse over the Atlantic some actions will be compared to those on US federal as well as state level.
News Media Coverage of Gun Violence: A Systematic Review
Authors: Topaz Chad M. , Higdon Jude
Published: February 2024

We provide a targeted review of research on gun violence and the news media in the United States. Starting with an initial search yielding 923 potential sources, we apply the PRISMA protocol to refine our focus to 80 peer-reviewed, empirical studies published since the year 2000. We identify several consensus findings. First, news media coverage of shooting incidents tends to be greater for incidents that: involve numerous victims, particularly when they are women and/or children; occur in schools, religious sites, or government buildings; or are carried out by perpetrators who are young, who are ideologically driven, and/or who show signs of severe mental illness. Second, race plays a significant role in shaping narrative frames, often protecting white individuals, regardless of whether they are victim or perpetrator. Third, media narratives have displayed dynamic evolution over the course of decades, transitioning from framing gun violence as an isolated, episodic issue to addressing it as a broader societal concern. Finally, news coverage of gun violence negatively impacts audience emotions, especially by elevating fear, and is associated with increased gun background checks, suggestive of more gun purchasing. However, the tangible influence of news coverage on inciting further violence remains contested. Limitations of our review include its narrow scope and exclusion of social media, an important aspect of contemporary discourse. We identify a need for more inclusive demographic identity representation in the literature and, finally, we discuss the intricacies of three interrelated elements: the occurrence of different types of gun violence, the level of news media attention they receive, and the extent of academic research investigating these media portrayals.
The HES at 50: Identity Crisis and the Need for Pluralistic Historiographical Approaches
Authors: Charles Loïc
Published: February 2024

In the 1990s, history of economics was comprised of a number of national communities. Among the latter the North American community held a dominant position and was quite different from its continental European counterparts. The HES had no counterpart in continental Europe, where national societies were small and recent. While the History of economics society was open to methodological pluralism, European societies were not. Over the past two decades, the growing domination of the continental European community has created a new context in which the identity of the North American community in general and that of the HES in particular has become uncertain. The consequence had been that methodological diversity within the subdiscipline has diminished. We conclude by two suggestions to counter this trend.
Toward mentally healthy public policy on higher education: Opportunities for change amid national reform in Australia
Authors: Luu Xuan
Published: February 2024

In promoting mental wellbeing and preventing mental ill health at the population level, healthy public policy is key. Attention has specifically turned to ‘mentally healthy public policy’ – how public policy impacts population mental health and wellbeing, and how these impacts must be considered in policy decisions throughout government. In this article, I discuss current higher education policy reform in Australia – the Australian Universities Accord – as an opportunity to think differently about nationally coordinated, population-based efforts to promote mental wellbeing and prevent mental ill health. I propose an ecological model comprising three levels – system, sector, and setting – and discuss what could be done at each if assured a quantum of dedicated, prevention-oriented funding for higher education from a national budget. I conclude with a call to action – across universities, higher education peak bodies, government, and student and staff collectives – amid a window of opportunity in Australian public policy.

Monitoring Open Science as Transformative Change: Towards a Systemic Framework
Authors: Rafols Ismael , Molas-Gallart Jordi , Meijer Ingeborg
Published: February 2024

Background: Following a flurry of policies for Open Science (OS), there is now a wave of initiatives to monitor its adoption. However, the great diversity of understandings and activities related to Open Science makes monitoring very challenging. There is a danger that by focusing on what can be readily observed (e.g. publications) many other OS activities are overlooked (e.g. participation), with a potential narrowing of OS scope, ‘street-light’ effects, and deviation from the values of OS.Methods:We have conducted desk research to analyse existing OS conceptualisations and monitoring efforts against the evaluation literature. Since Open Science can be understood as a systemic transformation of the research system, we have borrowed concepts from Transformative Innovation Policies frameworks which aim at evaluating socio-technical transitions.Results: In accordance with the notion of OS as a systemic transformation, we propose that OS should imply a change in monitoring frameworks for OS. Just like the shift from the ‘linear model’ to ‘innovation systems’ models in the 1980s was accompanied with new statistical concepts and tools (e.g. the OECD’s Oslo manual and innovation surveys), tracking OS adoption requires a far-reaching change in monitoring. We propose that the new monitoring should shift towards: (i) a systemic perspective which considers the various actions related to OS, including policies and outputs (e.g. datasets) but also processes (e.g. participatory events), outcomes (e.g. citizen interest in science) and expected impacts (e.g. better scientific contributions to addressing societal problems); (ii) implementation of monitoring as reflexive learning (rather than accountability or benchmarking); (iii) mapping the directionality of the activities and the values associated with the choices in directions. Conclusions:A monitoring framework for OS requires a profound change in monitoring framework and practices. The scope should broaden from outputs (such as publications) towards the processes of connection that make science ‘open’ (usage, co-creation and dialogue), as well as towards outcomes (changes in practices) and the longer-term impacts that reflect the values and normative commitments of OS.
Power, Vengeance, and Hope: A Roles-Based Analysis of Asymmetric Hashtag Activism for the 2023 War in Gaza
Authors: Jeong Tay
Published: February 2024

Using cross-lingual international X trends data and a unique roles-based analytical framework well suited to the study of wartime political affect, this study examines the spatial distribution of emotions in global pro-Palestine and pro-Israel affective spectatorship about the 2023 Gaza War in its early phase. Global pro-Palestine hashtag activism was overwhelmingly focused on victimhood, but Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East uniquely exhibited comparably strong expressions of glorified sentiments of heroism. In comparison, global pro-Israel hashtag activism was predominately driven by villain-centric messages focusing on the topic of denunciation. Palestine/Gaza and Hamas furnished the main characters to which these three roles were competitively assigned, functioning as condensed signifiers for the perennial media frame contestation between ‘injustice and defiance’ and ‘terrorism’. Contrary to popular attempts to characterize the discursive conflict about the War as a parallel clash of victimhood or vengeful emotions, our results reveal the starkly asymmetrical nature of affective spectatorship by political partisanship. We propose a power-centric interpretation of the observed affective asymmetries, which stems from diverging practical needs faced by belligerents in heavily unequal bilateral armed conflict. We also reflect on the observed affective fissure within the global Palestine solidarity movement amidst debates about the cultural praxis of subalternity that have intensified since the outbreak of the 2023 Gaza War.
Morphometric analysis of Bronze Age funerary vessels from the necropolis of Mokrin
Authors: Radinović Mihailo , Gavrilovic Marija Kreckovic
Published: February 2024

Archaeologists commonly use subjective classifications to group ceramic vessels into different classes, butthe usefulness of such tools for creating narratives about the past is seldom questioned. After noticingthat certain ceramic classes from the Bronze Age necropolis of Mokrin have quite similar shape andsize, we decided to undertake a morphometric analysis of vessels from this site. We show that some traditionalclasses largely overlap in both shape and size, and that the majority of funerary ceramics fromMokrin can be classified into two main morphological classes of vessels: (1) bowls; and (2) one- ortwo-handled beakers and amphorae. Our results go beyond this study, as they show how quantitativemethods can be used in a complementary manner with more traditional tools to gain meaningfulknowledge about the past.
The Border Within: Mobility, Stereotypes and Asylum Seekers as Migrants
Authors: Mégret Frédéric
Published: February 2024

The force of the border, such as it is, is not only that it potentially stops migrants from entering: it is that it builds migrants in its image. The border has long ceased to be a mere physical border. Rather, it is a series of technologies deployed to regulate the movement of peoples across space that deeply structure social and legal relations and are internalized by mobile humans. It moves with them, against them and sometimes for them (Shachar, 2020). As such, territory is redefined as a series of pockets of immobility that constrain the outflow and inflow of persons. More importantly, the border shapes what I would describe as a series of mobile identities, the identities one needs to endorse in order to pass the border, conceived in increasingly narrow terms (Sajjad, 2018). In effect, the border does not only regulate bodies; it also produces particular kinds of subjecthood and subjectivity. These relate for example to claims, often reductive and simplistic, about the conditions in the country one left (Kelley-Widmer and McKee 2023) as well as the particular reasons one feels it necessary to invoke to justify one’s mobility.
A Geospatial Analysis of Equitable Recreation Access on Public Lands: A Case Study in the American West
Authors: Bernard Kathryn , Minehart Kira
Published: February 2024

Time spent outdoors in green spaces is a vital component of human health and well-being but access to green space is highly variable across the United States. Visitors to public lands and waters across the country are less diverse than the U.S. population overall. These disparities are due in large part to the legacy of discrimination against communities of color. Conservationists and outdoor recreation groups that advocate for landscape protection legislation would benefit from additional knowledge about the communities living around the landscapes they are advocating for. We present a case study that explores access to public lands and waters from an equity lens. We use geospatial analysis to explore the extent to which nature-based recreation opportunities are accessible to demographically diverse communities in two federally protected areas in the American West. We find that the proposed expansions to these two areas could protect a greater diversity of recreational opportunities that appeal to the communities living around these areas. Given the strong connection between access to green space and human health, increasing the likelihood that demographically diverse communities will visit public lands and waters has far-reaching implications for public health and wellness. The results of this project provide a framework for data-driven expansion and management of protected recreation areas.
Neither Economist nor Historian
Authors: Weintraub E. Roy
Published: February 2024

Founded fifty years ago, the History of Economics Society served in its early years to support scholarship and teaching in the history of economic thought. But the decades long removal of history from economics departments and graduate programs has made the Society’s mission increasingly irrelevant to the larger community of economists. In this partially autobiographical essay, the author argues that it is long past time for the Society to reassess its place among learned societies. Some suggestions for HES renewal appear in the paper’s Appendix.
HES at 50—Reflections from the Geneva Lakeside on the Non-neutrality of History
Authors: maas harro
Published: February 2024

This paper provides a personal reflection on the development, over 50 years, of the History of Economics Society. The (perhaps obvious) punchline is that history writing is not neutral, but entails stances about power and politics. These stances are all the more relevant in today's context, in which money buys history.
Disease: An Ill-Founded Concept at Odds with the Principle of Patient-Centred Medicine
Authors: Arandjelović Ognjen
Published: February 2024

Background: Despite the at least decades long record of philosophical recognition and interest, the intricacy of the deceptively familiar appearing concepts of `disease', `disorder', `disability', etc., has only recently begun showing itself with clarity in the popular discourse wherein its newly emerging prominence stems from the liberties and restrictions contingent upon it. Whether a person is deemed to be afflicted by a disease or a disorder governs their ability to access health care, be it free at the point of use or provided by an insurer; it also influences the treatment of individuals by the judicial system and employers; it even affects one's own perception of self. Aims: All existing philosophical definitions of disease struggle with coherency, causing much confusion and strife, and leading to inconsistencies in real-world practice. Hence, there is a real need for an alternative. Materials & Methods: In the present article I analyse the variety of contemporary views of disease, showing them all to be inadequate and lacking in firm philosophical foundations, and failing to meet the desideratum of patient-driven care. Results: Illuminated by the insights emanating from the said analysis, I introduce a novel approach with firm ethical foundations, which foundations are rooted in sentience, that is the subjective experience of sentient beings. Discussion: I argue that the notion of disease is at best superfluous, and likely even harmful in the provision of compassionate and patient-centred care. Conclusion: Using a series of presently contentious cases illustrate the power of the proposed framework which is capable of providing actionable and humane solutions to problems that leave the current theories confounded.
THE HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF HES PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESSES
Authors: Marcuzzo Maria Cristina , Zacchia Giulia
Published: February 2024

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the formal establishment of the History of Economics Society (HES), we have analyzed the published HES presidential addresses in order to describe what views of the history of economic thought (HET) were provided, what strengths were identified, and what possibilities for growth or limitations in its future development. We propose a rereading of the published HES presidential addresses as food for thought of scope, method, and future development of HET.
Pengaruh Waktu Kontak dan Debit Aliran Proses Penyisihan Fe dan Mn pada Air Limbah Elektroplating Menggunakan Cascade Aerator
Authors: Ramadhan Ragiel
Published: February 2024

Electroplating wastewater contains high levels of Fe and Mn. One of the treatment methods to remove Fe and Mn in electroplating wastewater is the aeration method using a cascade aerator. the aeration method using a cascade aerator. Aeration is the process of adding oxygen to the water so that it can cause oxidation reactions of Fe and Mn, which will form precipitates. and Mn, which will form Fe(OH)3 and MnO2 precipitates. The gas transfer coefficient (KLa) value during the aeration process was then determined. The Fe and Mn levels before the aeration process were 9.84 mg/L and 4.78 mg/L, respectively. obtained the highest decrease in Fe levels at 240 minutes with a flow rate of 90 mL/s with an efficiency of 70.63% and the highest decrease in Mn levels occurred contact time of 300 minutes with a flow rate of 90 mL/s with an efficiency of 62.76%. 62,76%. The highest gas transfer coefficient (KLa) value occurred at a contact time of 300 minutes with a flow rate of 90 mL/s of 0.0975 KLa/min. The research results obtained have met the quality standards of wastewater according to the Regulation of the Minister of Environment No. 5 of 2014 on Wastewater Quality Standards
Spearman Correlation Analysis in Determining the Relationship of Dissolved Oxygen pH and Temperature to Total Phosphate in Lake Maninjau Sediments
Authors: Roselyn indah kurniati
Published: February 2024

Sedimentasi menjadi masalah di banyak negara saat ini. Parameter-parameter lingkungan yang mempengaruhi proses sedimentasi salah satunya adalah konsentrasi Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH dan suhu. Salah satu pencemar yang tinggi di sedimen yaitu Total Fosfat (TP). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat hubungan antara DO, pH dan suhu di perairan terhadap TP di sedimen.  Lokasi penelitian berjumlah 9 yang terdiri dari inlet danau, outlet danau, dan pemanfaatan danau. Hasil analisis DO, pH dan suhu dibandingkan dengan PP No 22 Tahun 2021 baku mutu air kelas II sedangkan hubungan DO, pH dan suhu terhadap TP menggunakan spearman. Hasil DO, pH dan suhu masih belum melebihi baku mutu air kelas II, namun trend konsentrasi pH menuju basa. TP di sedimen tertinggi berasal dari lokasi Keramba Jaring Apung (KJA) diikuti oleh aktivitas pertanian dengan penggunaan pupuk dan pepstisida. Feses ikan dan sisa pakan diduga menjadi penyebab tingginya TP di sedimen. Hubungan DO terhadap TP negatif sedangkan suhu dan pH memiliki hubungan yang positif.
