Published: May 2023

Preregistration has gained traction as one of the most promising solutions to improve the replicability of scientific effects. In this project, we compared 193 psychology studies that earned a Preregistration Challenge prize or Preregistration Badge to 193 related studies that were not preregistered. In contrast with our theoretical expectations and prior research, we did not find that preregistered studies had a lower proportion of positive results (Hypothesis 1), smaller effect sizes (Hypothesis 2), and fewer statistical errors (Hypothesis 3) than non-preregistered studies. Supporting our Hypotheses 4 and 5, we found that preregistered studies more often contained power analyses and typically had higher sample sizes than non-preregistered studies. Finally, concerns about the publishability and impact of preregistered studies seem unwarranted as preregistered studies did not take longer to publish and scored better on several impact measures. Overall, our data indicate that preregistration has beneficial effects in the realm of statistical power and impact, but we did not find robust evidence that preregistration prevents p-hacking and Hypothesizing After the Results are Known (HARKing).
GPT is an effective tool for multilingual psychological text analysis
Authors: Rathje Steve , Mirea Dan-Mircea , Sucholutsky Ilia , Marjieh Raja , Robertson Claire , Van Bavel Jay Joseph
Published: May 2023

The social and behavioral sciences have been increasingly using automated text analysis to measure psychological constructs in text. We explore whether GPT, the large-language model underlying the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, can be used as a tool for automated psychological text analysis in several languages. Across 15 datasets (n = 47,925 manually annotated tweets and news headlines), we tested whether different versions of GPT (3.5 Turbo, 4, and 4 Turbo) can accurately detect psychological constructs (sentiment, discrete emotions, offensiveness, and moral foundations) across 12 languages. We found that GPT (r = 0.59-0.77) performs much better than English-language dictionary analysis (r = 0.20-0.30) at detecting psychological constructs as judged by manual annotators. GPT performs nearly as well as, and sometimes better than, several top-performing fine-tuned machine learning models. Moreover, GPT’s performance has improved across successive versions of the model, particularly for lesser-spoken languages. Overall, GPT may be superior to many existing methods of automated text analysis, since it achieves relatively high accuracy across many languages, requires no training data, and is easy to use with simple prompts (e.g., “is this text negative?”) and little coding experience. We provide sample code and a video tutorial for analyzing text with the GPT application programming interface. We argue that GPT and other large-language models may democratize automated text analysis by making advanced natural language processing capabilities more accessible, and may help facilitate more cross-linguistic research with understudied languages.
Deep CANALs: A Deep Learning Approach to Refining the Canalization Theory of Psychopathology
Authors: Juliani Arthur , Safron Adam , Kanai Ryota
Published: May 2023

Psychedelic therapy has seen a resurgence of interest in the past decade, with promising clinical outcomes for treatment of a variety of psychopathologies. In response to this success, a number of theoretical models have been proposed to account for psychedelic's positive therapeutic effects. One of the more prominent models is `RElaxed Beliefs Under pSychedelics,' (REBUS) which suggests that psychedelics act therapeutically by relaxing the strength of maladaptive high-level beliefs encoded in the brain. The more recent `CANAL' model of psychopathology builds on the explanatory framework of REBUS by proposing that canalization (the development of overly rigid belief landscapes) may be a primary factor in psychopathology. Here we take inspiration from learning theory in deep neural networks to develop a series of refinements to the original CANAL model. Our primary theoretical contribution is to disambiguate two separate optimization landscapes underlying belief representation, and describe the unique pathologies which can arise from the canalization of each. Along each dimension we identify pathologies of either too much or too little canalization, suggesting that at the very least canalization does not have a linear relationship with psychopathology. In this expanded paradigm, we demonstrate the ability to make novel predictions regarding which psychopathologies may be amenable to psychedelic therapy, as well as what forms of psychedelic therapy may ultimately be most beneficial for a given individual.
Tracing the Footsteps of Ideas: Time-respecting Paths Reveal Key Reformers and Communication Pathways in Protestant Letter Networks
Authors: Roller Ramona
Published: May 2023

The transmission of ideas plays a vital role in shaping society, fostering critical thinking, driving innovation, and facilitating cultural development. Previous studies have predominantly employed aggregated networks to investigate how ideas propagate through interactions and relationships among individuals. However, these approaches overlook the temporal ordering of interactions, distorting topological network measures and potentially leading to erroneous conclusions about idea transmission. To address this limitation, this study explores the transmission of ideas using time-respecting paths. A time-respecting path is defined as a sequence of nodes connected by time-consecutive edges, where the inter-edge time is constrained within specific bounds representing the minimum reaction time and maximum memory period before ideas fade away. By constructing time-respecting paths from a network of letter correspondences among 16th-century protestant reformers, this research unveils key reformers and communication patterns that significantly influenced the transmission of ideas. The findings are interpreted in the light of case studies, such as the Osiandrian controversy, which provides valuable insights into historical contexts.
Precarious Opposition: Category Threats and Maintenance Work in the U.S. Organic Foods Industry
Authors: Haedicke Michael
Published: May 2023

Using the case of organic foods in the United States, this article examines the work of maintaining oppositional product categories in the food industry. I argue that category maintenance is a dynamic process in which stakeholders identify and respond to threating events that have the potential to undermine the integrity and value of the category for consumer audiences. Using previous research about oppositional product categories, I distinguish threats that impact a category’s credibility from those that impact its currency (or value) and I describe responses that stakeholders might be expected to pursue in the case of each variety of threat. Drawing from interviews and archival data sources, I then trace iterations of category threats and maintenance work in history of organic foods. I show that credibility threats have posed a persistent obstacle for category stakeholders and that efforts to manage these threats contributed to the subsequent emergence of currency threats. On the basis of this examination, I suggest that category maintenance should be conceptualized as path-dependent and that stakeholders’ responses to category threats may tend to diminish a category’s oppositional character over time.
Western educational environment drives Indigenous cultural dynamics in Amazonia
Authors: Bunce John A , Minaya Caissa Revilla
Published: May 2023

The education of Indigenous children in non-Indigenous (e.g., "Western") school environments is at the forefront of debates about the sustainability and loss of valued Indigenous cultural traits and identities, though systematic study of the topic is rare. Here, using longitudinal structured interviews and participant observation among Indigenous Matsigenka children attending Mestizo-run secondary schools in the Peruvian Amazon, we provide the first empirical evidence of the magnitude of the shift in students' cultural norms toward those of their teachers, particularly in intensively-supervised boarding school environments. We highlight several mechanisms that may mediate this effect, and a potential short-term strategy to enhance the maintenance of cultural norms valued by Indigenous peoples exercising their right to Western-style education.

Published: May 2023

The increasing population consumed in high production and food needs for survival. Apples are one of the crop harvest products in Indonesia whose needs are increasing, because they are not only needed for human vitamins but can be used as hand fruit or a form of gratitude to those who receive the fruit. In the process of harvesting apples in agricultural land, harvesting is often found which is not feasible in the hands of consumers because it takes too long for apples to not be harvested when the condition of the fruit is feasible in maturity. Therefore, the authors approach this problem by processing the image results obtained to form a detection model, whether the apples are said to be feasible to be harvested immediately and from the image results it can also be calculated the number of fruits captured by the image model , feature enhancements Estimates on objects from this image model are expected to provide more timely harvest predictions in order to provide longer aging of apples and good fruit quality after reaching consumers

Caste is a Betrayal to Natural Justice, Accommodating Inequality as a Driving License: A Narrative of Oppression in a Parallel of Democracy
Authors: Ghosh Dhrupadi
Published: May 2023

From dropping out of college seats to analyzing meritocracy the paper explores how the question of caste is essentially Brahmanical which is decided on birth and how ideological state apparatus like family or educational institutions practise caste as a ‘natural component’ to the human life to maintain the status quo of Indian social order. This paper will discover how on the Indian enlivened screen ‘democracy for all’ plays in absentia where caste for few others gets mechanically reproduced with a presence of a protagonist obligated to democracy. It will further analyze the way caste has seeped into democratic institutions to maintain inequality in profession isolating class while overlapping with it. Counter arguments also will appear where caste struggle is seen independently as a form of right separated from the question of dignity. This paper will track down the seed of discrimination that was usurped around 1500 BCE through the line of the struggle between two groups of people and try to do a comparative study on consent and hegemony through the reproduction of the silver screen. If Indian Parliament as an established ruling power incorporates equality, then caste goes against the whole idea of Parliament. Interestingly often caste politics submits itself to the worship of Parliament to segregate people not by default.  It will track down democracy that embeds natural law and rights where caste is a betrayed natural justice. In this paper, the role of humans as genetically engineered beings will be placed against the unnatural component of Brahmanism that is often decided by production relations. It will also discuss how a written code of conduct could replace blood feuds, a power struggle that gave birth to democracy, and caste was born to accommodate inequality. John Locke’s idea of consent of individuals will be discussed further.

Confronting Uncertainties in Pastoral Areas
Authors: Scoones Ian
Published: May 2023

Pastoralists must continuously confront uncertainties, responding to high levels of variability and volatility where the future is unknown. Yet mainstream modernising development in pastoral areas aims to create stability through control, enacted through restrictive plans and policies. Through a series of case studies, this article explores pastoralists’ own sensitive, flexible and caring responses, attuned to the instabilities of pastoral settings. The cases show how uncertainties can be seen as intersecting constructions of knowledge, materiality, experience, embodiment and practice, where flexible, often collective, caring approaches are central to pastoralists’ lives. These insights have wider implications for other contexts where people inhabit uncertain worlds, and so suggest a fundamental challenge to the controlling approaches of conventional development.

Les éleveurs doivent constamment faire face aux incertitudes de l’à-venir et répondre à de haut niveaux de variabilité et de volatilité. Cependant, la tendance au développement moderne dans les zones pastorales vise à créer une stabilité par la mise en œuvre de stratégies de contrôle et de politiques restrictives. En s'appuyant sur une série de cas, cet article analyse les réponses plus sensibles, flexible et attentionnées des pasteurs, en phase avec l'instabilité de la condition pastorale. Les cas montrent comment les incertitudes peuvent être vues comme des constructions de savoir entrecroisant expérience matérielle, incorporation de compétences et de pratiques. Ces approches bienveillantes, flexibles et souvent collectives sont centrales dans la vie des pasteurs. Ces exemples ont des implications plus larges dans d'autres contextes où des populations vivent dans des environnements incertains. Les approches conventionnelles du développement fondées sur le contrôle sont fondamentalement remises en question.
PENGARUH VARIASI KAPASITAS PEMANAS TERHADAP KONDISI SUHU DAN KELEMBABAN SERTA DURASI PEMANASAN PADA SCREENHOUSE BERBASIS EVAPORATIVE COOLING SYSTEM

Published: May 2023

The unpredictable weather changes in Indonesia cause various problems for the agricultural sector. One of which is the decline in productivity of farmers' crops up to 40% which is caused by non-optimal environmental conditions during the plant growth process. To be able to adapt to these conditions, it is necessary to have an optimal system of environmental conditioning for plant growth. In this research, a screenhouse temperature and humidity conditioning system was designed for the growth of tomato plants as a horticultural commodity with high potential and high economic value in Indonesia. The system design is modeled and tested through simulation on Vensim software by varying the furnace capacity by 4oC/hour, 6oC/hour, and 10oC/hour in order to see its effect on the internal screenhouse temperature and heating duration. Based on the simulation results of system design, the heating rate and duration for each furnace capacity variation are 4.74oC/hour (135 minutes per cycle), 6.9oC/hour (75 minutes per cycle), and 11.76oC/hour (45 minutes per cycle). The furnace capacity value of 10oC/hour is considered to be optimal and more energy efficient because it only requires a heating process for 180 minutes per day to maintain the screenhouse internal temperature in optimal temperature range for tomato plant growth, which is 18 - 24 oC with an offside value of ±0.5 oC. The stable cooling rate value for this system is in the range of 1 – 1.8oC/hour.
Effect of applications of 1-MCP and ethylene on the ripening and degreening process of banana fruits cv. Barranquillo

The banana cv. Barranquillo (Musa acuminata, AAA, ‘Gros Michel’) is a highly desired fruit because of its productive potential and organoleptic quality but various aspects of the ripening process are unknown. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of applications of 1-MCP and ethylene on the ripening and degreening process. Two experiments were carried out at room temperature with fruits harvested at commercial maturity. The first four treatments evaluated maturation: control, ethylene, 1-MCP, and 1-MCP + ethylene. In the second experiment, different concentrations of ethylene based on ethephon (0, 100, 500 and 1000 μL L-1) were evaluated. The fruits treated with 1-MCP decreased the ripening process, and 1-MCP was a good alternative for conserving the fruits; the ethylene had opposite results. The color index of the skin, weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids, and maturity ratio had changes associated with the presence of ethylene. In the second experiment, the ethylene applications between 100 and 500 μL L-1 sufficiently stimulated degreening but accelerated the ripening process.
The Impact of International Conventions on Determining the Manner of Funerals
Authors: Schiopu Silviu-Dorin
Published: May 2023

This article surveys the impact of some international conventions and agreements on the manner of cross-border funerals. Nowadays it is common that the deceased had gone to live abroad to work or study there while maintaining a close connection with the country of origin where the funeral should take place. Thus, the topicality of this article's theme emerges from the foregoing. Because of the increasing mobility of citizens, it is necessary to analyse the international legal framework to see how the context can limit in certain cases the manner of funerals. The main conclusion is that cross-border funerals are affected by some specific constraints that must be taken into account by the families of the dearly departed.
The Implication of Replacing the Sanction of the Administrative Fine with the Sanction of Providing an Activity for the Benefit of the Community from the Perspective of the CCR and ECHR Jurisprudence
Authors: Nitoiu Lorena G.
Published: May 2023

With regard to the sanction of community service, which is regulated in domestic law by Article 9 of G.O. no. 2/2001, the legislator has recently attempted, by means of a draft law, to clearly establish the legal regime of the procedure for replacing the sanction of a administrative fine with the sanction of community service. However, in the light of the case law of the CCR and the ECHR, this can only be achieved if the qualitative requirements are met, particularly those of accessibility and predictability of the law, in order to ensure the security of legal relations and greater legislative stability and efficiency.

Published: May 2023

The main problem in this research is the low student learning outcomes in short story writing material. Therefore, to improve students' abilities and maximize learning, the researchers used the Exercise method. The research subjects were all 20 students, namely 9 boys and 11 girls. The method used in this research is the exercise method. The design of this study refers to the Kemmis and Mc Taggart model which consists of four components, namely 1) planning, 2) action implementation, 3) observation and 4) reflection. The data collected in this study is in the form of teacher and student activity data during the learning process obtained by using observation sheets and student learning outcomes data obtained by giving individual tests to students. In the research that has been carried out, the results showed that students experienced an increase of 90%. The increase in classical absorption in cycle II was caused because the researchers put more emphasis on mastering concepts in writing short stories using the Exercise method. While in the first cycle, the researcher did not emphasize the mastery of the concept.

This is a qualitative research focusing on answering the research question, “What kinds of error occur on sentence construction by using Grammar Translation Method to the first semester students of Arabic Education Study Program at Datokarama State Islamic University Palu?” The participants of this research are thirty two first semester students of Arabic Education Study Program at Datokarama State Islamic University Palu. The instrument of the research is a document analysis of a hundred Indonesian sentences translated into English. The result of this research shows that there are five types of error occurred: (1) omission; (2) addition; (3) misformation; (4) misorder; and (5) word misuse. Omission errors can be found on the article for the singular nouns, -s/-es ending for plural marker of nouns, to be in nominal sentences, measured quantities for uncountable nouns, and –s/-es ending for verbs in simple present tense. When the mother tongue interferes the sentence construction, the addition errors then took place. Misformation errors occurred on the use of demonstrative determiners, subject-verb agreement in present perfect tense as well as in nominal sentences. Misorder errors can be showed on the word order of present perfect tense. Word misuse errors occurred when the participants translated the sentences one word by one word literally while the vocabulary is not sufficient

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the common female endocrine disorders of uncertain etiology, which causes menstrual disorders as well as infertility. Interleukin–33(IL-33) is considered as a strong risk marker of inflammation and may have possible role in pathogenesis of PCOS.Objectives: The present study is designed to investigate the possible role of IL-33 in pathogenesis of PCOS and its relation with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C),insulin resistance(IR) and oxidative stress in prediabetic PCOS patients.Subjects and Methods: The study involved 30 healthy women as control group and sixty six infertile Iraqi women with PCOS which were divided into two groups according to glycated heamoglobin(HbA1c) value and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). The first group (G1) consist of 30 women with HbA1c ≤ 6.5% and HOMA –IR<3.8 as PCOS without diabetes and without insulin resistance. The second group(G2) consist of 36 patients with HbA1c ≥ 6.5 % and HOMA-IR ≥ 3.8 as PCOS with pre diabetes type 2 and insulin resistance. Ten milliliters of blood were collected from all subjects by vein puncture during 2nd – 4th day of the menstrual cycle. Two ml of blood were collected in EDTA tube for HbA1c analysis. The serum which obtained from the remained blood were used for determination of (insulin, fasting blood glucose(FBG), Malondialdehyde(MDA) , Total antioxidant capacity(TAC) , uric acid, glutathione(GSH), albumin, and IL-33) .Results: Results revealed a significant elevation in HbA1c, insulin, HOMA-IR, MDA, TAC, uric acid and IL-33 in the patients group when compared with healthy women. On the other hand, a significant decreased in GSH and albumin were found in patients group when compared with control group. Also there are significant differences in the results between patients in group 1 and group 2. A significant positive correlation between IL-33 and HbA1c levels was noticed in G1 and G2 .A significant positive correlation between IL-33 and HOMA-IR was noticed in group 1 while a negative significant correlation was found in group 2. No correlation founded between IL-33 levels and TAC concentration in group 1, but a positive correlation noticed with group 2. A significant negative correlation was observed between IL-33 and MDA/TAS ratio in G1, while a significant positive correlation in G2 was found.Conclusion: high levels of IL-33 in patient groups may be considered as a novel cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Also the elevation in oxidative stress in PCOS patients could be a reason for disturbed follicular development and ultimately infertility.

INTRODUCTION: It is rare for intraductal papilloma (IDP), a benign papillary tumor, to occur in the sublingual gland (SLG). CASE SUMMARY: A 55-year-old man incidentally found a painless mass in his left submandibular region (SMR). He had a history of two surgeries for bilateral SLG cyst. Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. The patient received trans-cervical excision of left residual SLG in combination with excision of left submandibular gland (SMG). The postoperative course was uneventful and no signs of recurrence during 5 months of follow-up. DISCUSSION: For a SMR mass, extraoral type of IDP in SLG should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: The main objective of this study was to predict the status of blood and the occurrence of lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after total knee arthroplasty(TKA) by means of mean platelet volume (MPV) combined with thromboelastography (TEG). METHODS: We collected 180 patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty between May 2015 and March 2022, and the patients were divided into DVT group and control group according to whole-leg ultrasonography on the seventh postoperative day. Blood count and TEG were performed on the day before surgery, the first day after surgery and the seventh day respectively. Multifactorial analysis was used to investigate whether the relevant parameters were independent predictors of DVT after TKA. RESULTS: MPV has the strongest correlation with the maximum amplitude (MA), followed by alpha-angle; MPV and alpha-angle on the first postoperative day are independent predictors of DVT. MPV in patients with thrombosis tends to rise and then fall in the perioperative period. The optimal threshold for MPV to predict thrombosis is 10.85 fL and the area under the ROC curve is 0.694, The area under the ROC curve increases to 0.815 using MPV combined with alpha-angle. In addition, MA, α-angle, composite coagulation index (CI) and MPV were all statistically higher in the DVT group than in the control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: MPV is a predictor of DVT after TKA. It can reflect the hypercoagulable state of blood after surgery; Combination of MPV and alpha-angle on the first day after surgery in patients with TKA improves predictive power of DVT.
