Sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding in meta-analyses
Authors: Mathur Maya B , VanderWeele Tyler
Published: July 2018

Random-effects meta-analyses of observational studies can produce biased estimates if the synthesized studies are subject to unmeasured confounding. We propose sensitivity analyses quantifying the extent to which unmeasured confounding of specified magnitude could reduce to below a certain threshold the proportion of true effect sizes that are scientifically meaningful. We also develop converse methods to estimate the strength of confounding capable of reducing the proportion of scientifically meaningful true effects to below a chosen threshold. These methods apply when a "bias factor'' is assumed to be normally distributed across studies or is assessed across a range of fixed values. Our estimators are derived using recently proposed sharp bounds on confounding bias within a single study that do not make assumptions regarding the unmeasured confounders themselves or the functional form of their relationships to the exposure and outcome of interest. We provide an R package, EValue, and a free website that compute point estimates and inference and produce plots for conducting such sensitivity analyses. These methods facilitate principled use of random-effects meta-analyses of observational studies to assess the strength of causal evidence for a hypothesis.
Gentrification in the mesh? Ethnography of Open Wireless Network - Deptford
Authors: Cardullo Paolo
Published: July 2018

The paper offers a critical perspective on practices of construction and consumption of wireless mesh networks in urban environments. It narrates Open Wireless Network (OWN) in Deptford, at a time when this inner borough of London undergoes an intense gentrification process. Drawing on critical urban theory, the ethnography frames OWN as a socio-technical assemblage deeply entangled with everyday city life. It argues that gentrification poses challenges to a grassroot wireless network like OWN, because it risks reducing it to an individualised utility and an aesthetic provision. The initial findings suggest the communitarian construction of this wireless network has helped to maintain a commitment to reciprocity, potentially offering—for its users, developers, and participants—pockets of resistance against their cultural displacement. Although providing free wireless broadband to many, the paper argues that wireless communication became of secondary importance to the locals who joined the network. For years in fact, OWN contributed to face-to-face interventions, local knowledge exchange and transfer of competences, becoming a relatively known presence in the area.The research operates on a multidisciplinary level evoking hackers, technology, and the production of urban space. It wants to stitch back together some of the literature on socio-technical assemblage and on the 'right to the city'.

Ockham, the Sanctity of Rights, and the Canonists
Authors: Robinson Jonathan
Published: July 2018

This paper explores how Ockham adopted a maxim found in the medieval ius commune -- namely, that people should not be deprived of their rights without fault or cause -- and made it a cornerstone of his political philosophy. In addition, because Ockham's grasp of law is sometimes questioned, I contrast his use of the maxim with two of the greatest medieval lawyers, Hostiensis and Innocent IV. As I show, there are important differences in how they and Ockham made use of this maxim.
Perilaku Store Switching Dalam Berbelanja Online
Authors: Harahap Dedy Ansari
Published: July 2018

This article describes the effect of consumer dissatisfaction and the need to find variations on the behavior of online store switching from Tokopedia to Lazada. Samples were 95 respondents who are students of Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Medan with purposive sampling as a sampling technique. The questionnaire was employed as a data collection tool and then analyzed by multiple linear regression method. The result of the regression is Y = 0.723 + 0.371X1 + 0.435X2 + ε. The result of F test (43.413) shows that consumer dissatisfaction and the need to find variation simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on the behavior of consumer switch from Tokopedia to Lazada. Partially, consumer dissatisfaction (3.368) and the need for variation (4.638) have a positive and significant effect on consumer switching behavior from Tokopedia to Lazada. The determination coefficient (R2) is 0.486 which means that 48.6% consumer dissatisfaction and the need to find variation can explain the behavior of consumer switching. The remaining 51.4% explained by other variables outside the study. Online marketers should pay attention to these two variables in developing their business strategies to keep customers moving from an online store to another.

Published: July 2018

Bunyi alat musik gitar merupakan salah satu gejala fisika yang menarik untuk dikaji, karena menghasilkan nada kompleks yang merupakan superposisi dari banyak nada murni (harmonik). Kualitas bunyi, warna bunyi, dan karakteristik akustik berbagai alat musik gitar berbeda-beda, salah satu nya bergantung pada kandungan frekuensi harmonik sebagai akibat dari kualitas dawai, ketelitian pemasangan fret, dan resonator gitar. Salah satu cara untuk mengetahui kualitas bunyi gitar adalah menganalisis kandungan harmonik bunyi nada dan akord. Akord merupakan prinsip utama dalam memainkan alat musik gitar, salah satunya akord Dmayor yang dapat dibentuk dengan berbagai konfigurasi senar pada suatu fret yang merupakan superposisi berbagai nada. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan frekuensi harmonik nada-nada penyusun akord dan akord Dmayor sendiri. Data sinyal gelombang bunyi dianalisis dengan teknik FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) berbantuan software MacScope II dan Matlab untuk menganalisis frekuensi harmonik. Disimpulkan bahwa bunyi akord Dmayor pada alat musik gitar tidak menghasilkan suatu deretan harmonik, namun kandungan frekuensinya sesuai dengan kandungan frekuensi harmonik nada-nada penyusunnya yaitu tangga nada A, D, dan Fis (F#).

Published: July 2018

Status: PostprintUse of in-organic fertilizer is common practice in modern agriculture to increase agriculture productivity. Farmers are commonly applied in-organic fertilizer more than the fertilization recommendation. Overuse of in-organic fertilizer will hamper soil and environment as well as human health. Closed Agriculture Production System (CAPS) was developed by integrating organic farming and cattle farm with maximum utilization of local resources and minimizing external input. The experiment has been conducted since 2013 in The Village of Air Duku, Rejang Lebong, Bengkululocated at around 950 m above sea level. Each step for selection and selfing, sweet corn growth and yield performances was evaluated. The experiment revealed that Accession number 1 has the best performance as compared to that other accession. Accession number 1, 9 and 17 produces good performance of sweet corn growth and yield while accession number 16, 8 and 15 has worse performance. Therefore, Accession number 1, 9 and 17 can be used for further selfing to discover new line of sweet corn.

Shared technology making in neoliberal ruins
Authors: Perng Sung-Yueh
Published: July 2018

Shared technology making refers to the practices, spaces and events that bear the hope and belief that collaborative and open ways of designing, making and modifying technology can improve our ways of living. Shared technology making in the context of the smart city reinvigorates explorations of the possibility of free, open and collaborative ways of engineering urban spaces, infrastructures and public life. Open innovation events and civic hacking initiatives often encourage members of local communities, residents, or city administrations to participate so that the problems they face and the knowledge they possess can be leveraged to develop innovations from the working (and failure) of urban everyday life and (non-)expert knowledges. However, the incorporation of shared technology making into urban contexts engender concerns around the right to participate in shared technology- and city-making. This paper addresses this issue by suggesting ways to consider both the neoliberal patterning of shared technology making and the patches and gaps that show the future possibility of shared city making. It explores the ways in which shared technology making are organised using hackathons and other hacking initiatives as an example. By providing a hackathon typology and detailed accounts of the experiences of organisers and participants of related events, the paper reconsiders the neoliberalisation of shared technology making. It attends to the multiple, entangled and conflictual relationships that do not follow corporate logic for considering the possibilities of more open and collaborative ways of technology- and city-making.

Values and Consequences in Predictive Machine Evaluation. A Sociology of Predictive Policing
Authors: Benbouzid Bilel
Published: July 2018

Predictive policing is a research field whose principal aim is to develop machines for predicting crimes, drawing on machine learning algorithms and the growing availability of a diversity of data. This paper deals with the case of the algorithm of PredPol, the best-known startup in predictive policing. The mathematicians behind it took their inspiration from an algorithm created by a French seismologist, a professor in earth sciences at the University of Savoie. As the source code of the PredPol platform is kept inaccessible as a trade secret, the author contacted the seismologist directly in order to try to understand the predictions of the company’s algorithm. Using the same method of calculation on the same data, the seismologist arrived at a different, more cautious interpretation of the algorithm's capacity to predict crime. How were these predictive analyses formed on the two sides of the Atlantic? How do predictive algorithms come to exist differently in these different contexts? How and why is it that predictive machines can foretell a crime that is yet to be committed in a California laboratory, and yet no longer work in another laboratory in Chambéry? In answering these questions, I found that machine learning researchers have a moral vision of their own activity that can be understood by analyzing the values and material consequences involved in the evaluation tests that are used to create the predictions.

Sound symbolism – the idea that there are motivated links between the sound of a word and its meaning has been established to be an existing phenomenon across different languages. Especially size sound symbolism seems to be a functional feature in many languages meaning that different types of vowels in words are associated with different physical size. Words with front vowels (e.g. little, tiny) are more likely to be used to indicate small physical size whereas words with back vowels (e.g. humungous, huge) are more likely to indicate large physical size. Because physical size plays an important role in ratings of attractiveness, we tested whether vowels in first names can influence how attractive the bearer of the name is perceived. In our experiment, participants saw faces paired with popular first names and rated the attractiveness of the depicted person. Masculine names were paired with pictures of men and feminine names with pictures of women. The names either contained a front or back vowel in the accented syllable and were within gender group randomly paired with pictures. We found that female raters preferred faces paired with back vowel names while male raters preferred faces paired with front vowel names, showing that the rater's gender – far more than the gender of the depicted person – determined the relationship between vowel quality and perceived attractiveness of faces. Our results confirm the role of sound symbolism in perception of attractiveness.

Acquisition of Modern Standard Arabic by Speakers of Different Arabic Colloquial Varieties: Resumption in Object Relative Clauses *1
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Alresaini Sami
Published: July 2018

It is often claimed that there are no native speakers of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) due to possible effect of late age of first exposure (AoE) and possible effect of the acquired colloquial variety ofArabic, which is considered as the first language (L1). This empirical study examined the impact of AoE and knowledge of the L1on the ultimate attainment of resumption in MSA object relative clauses. 147adolescent participants from Egypt, the Levant, and the gulf regions, were recruited to examine their underlying knowledge ofresumption in MSA through completing an Acceptability Judgment Task. Using ANOVAand planned comparisons, the differences in participants' judgments to resumptionwere evaluated across 5 groups corresponding to different AoE and the colloquialvarieties they speak. The analysis of the data showed no significant effect of AoEnorof the L1, and post hoc tests showed no significant differences between the groups ofparticipants. These results were discussed in relation to theories on L1 influence and tothe critical period hypothesis.

A Maximum Likelihood Mixture Approach for Multivariate Hypothesis Testing in case of Incomplete Data
Authors: Nguyen Loc
Published: July 2018

Multivariate hypothesis testing becomes more and more necessary when data is in the process of changing from scalar and univariate format to multivariate format, especially financial and biological data is often constituted of n-dimension vectors. Likelihood ratio test is the best method that applies the test on mean of multivariate sample with known or unknown covariance matrix but it is impossible to use likelihood ratio test in case of incomplete data when the data incompletion gets popular because of many reasons in reality. Therefore, this research proposes a new approach that gives an ability to apply likelihood ratio test into incomplete data. Instead of replacing missing values in incomplete sample by estimated values, this approach classifies incomplete sample into groups and each group is represented by a potential or partial distribution. All partial distributions are unified into a mixture model which is optimized via expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. Finally, likelihood ratio test is performed on mixture model instead of incomplete sample. This research provides a thorough description of proposed approach and mathematical proof that is necessary to such approach. The comparison of mixture model approach and filling missing values approach is also discussed in this research.
Comportamiento del hierro, cromo, cadmio y plomo total en las aguas superficiales del río Manzanares, Venezuela, durante los periodos de sequía y lluvia en el año 1994

Published: July 2018

Results are presented for total iron, chromium, cadmium, and lead concentrations measured in the surface water of the Manzanares river (Venezuela), during two typical weather periods of the region (May and November) of 1994. The existence of removal processes in the early stages of the mixing process of freshwater and seawater is evident from their spatial distributions. It is suggested that this removal of heavy metals is associated with the geochemical process of flocculation and the formation of oxihydroxides, rather than with the dilution process. Input of heavy metals to the ecosystem was observed at low salinities that are likely associated to the process of desorption and are due to anthropogenic activities.

The Implications of Climate Change for Social Conflict: A Social Psychological Perspective
Authors: Chapman Daniel A
Published: July 2018

The potential for climate change to produce increased incidences of violent conflict has received considerable attention in recent years. Interdisciplinary research has explored the intersection of climate change and conflict using a mixture of case studies and quantitative models in a variety of geographic contexts. However, evidence of the direct causal connection between climate change and social conflict is at times mixed and faces criticism for its limited predictive capacity. This paper integrates the aforementioned literatures with psychological insights from intergroup relations and decision making to illuminate conditions under which climate change may be more or less likely to lead to conflict. Specific attention is given to the contributions from psychology to issues of conflict related to resource scarcity/uncertainty, forced migration, and political polarization. Suggestions for future analytic techniques, psychological insights into mitigating the emergence of conflict, and the need for future integrative natural and social science frameworks are discussed.
The Special Principle of Relativity and the Translation of Physical Laws
Authors: Fullybright Rudolf
Published: July 2018

Similarly to his special theory of relativity, Einstein's special principle of relativity extends beyond the limits currently known to it. Up to now, the principle has not been suspected to have the potential to translate laws. However, the principle holds an inherent capacity to translate physical laws and, in so doing, speeds up our understanding and control of physical reality. Such a translation of laws leads to the faster discovery of other laws, such as the Laws of Electronic Motion, characterizing the motion of electrons around the atomic nucleus, and the Third Law of Resistance, facilitating the successful control of drug resistance in medicine. The ability of the special principle of relativity to translate laws shines forth once the said principle is duly interpreted. This interpretation exposes a parallelism between experimental frames of reference and justifies the applicability of the laws of one frame of reference in other parallel frames of reference. This process opens the door to our faster discovery of the laws governing a multiplicity of frames parallel to a frame we already know the laws of. In practice, the interpretation of Einstein's special principle of relativity speeds up our understanding and capacity to control the physical reality we live in and, applied to biological organisms, points to the immediate step we have to take towards the successful control of drug resistance in medicine.

Published: July 2018

La investigación fue iniciada en 1992 al convivir tres semanas con los yanomamis. Hipótesis inicial: la etnia yanomami que vive en el “paleolítico” se encuentra en un momento de transición hacia el patriarcado. Metodología: Tras revisión bibliográfica elijo un mito concreto sobre el surgimiento de los yanomamis; análisis junguiano, integrado con los datos obtenidos en la expedición de observación participativa; intuición; la experiencia en relaciones humanas, y los propios sueños. Resultados: El mito orienta a la individuación. Aparentemente es para los hombres: revelarles un camino a realizar, y tiene, también, una función compensadora de su actitud consciente ya que pueden estar cerca de someter lo femenino. Sería más apropiado hablar de kryarcado. No se confirma la hipótesis. Conclusiones: Se necesita analizar más mitos. Insuficiencias: Un único mito con metodología onírica integrando los datos objetivos tiene el riesgo hacer inferencias erróneas.Palabras clave: Yanomamis, mito, símbolo, arquetipo, Jung

Buku ini berisi kumpulan makalah yang sudah disajikan dalam seminar baik tingkat nasional maupun internasional, yang dalam perjalanannya penulis berupaya untuk menyikapi persoalan jagat pendidikan seni sesuai dengan isu dan topik yang dimunculkan dalam seminar. Yang tentunya dianggap sebagai isu aktual pada saat itu. Ada yang berupa gagasan-gagasan konseptual, ada juga tulisan hasil penelitian. Sebagian lagi adalah tulisan-tulisan yang masih berceceran sebagai hasil orat-oret penulis di waktu senggang. Dan kita tahu, bahwa pendidikan seni di negara kita masih “dinomorduakan”, bahkan sepertinya ada kesan belum dianggap sebagai bagian dari ilmu pengetahuan. Itulah tantangan kita, untuk menghadapi puspa ragam persoalan yang senantiasa menampar dunia pendidikan seni kita. Seperti menghadapi kalangan yang belum mampu melihat pendidikan seni sebagai sebuah keajaiban bagi manusia. Padahal melalui senilah manusia bisa mengasah jiwa, dan melalui senilah manusia belajar merasa. Pendidikan seni secara luas bukanlah hanya sebuah jalan menuju alam kesenimanan, melainkan lebih penting dari itu adalah sebuah proses untuk memanusiakan manusia.

A. Infrastruktur Jaringan LAN kampus belum dapat digunakan secara optimal karena: Koneksi antar gedung tidak terkelola dengan baik (belum ada cable management, bandwidth management, access management, & network monitoring). B. Aplikasi-aplikasi TI belum terintegrasi sehingga menyebabkan: Kesulitan akses aplikasi, Penyajian data kepada pemangku kepentingan belum terotomasi sepenuhnya, Proses pelayanan internal masih melalui tahapan manual antar proses, karena masing- masing aplikasi terpisah & belum terintegrasi, Kerawanan kehilangan data, Potensi keterlambatan layanan. C. Pengelolaan TI belum menerapkan Tata Kelola TI yang baik Perencanaan TI belum sepenuhnya dipahami dengan baik oleh pemangku kepentingan internal (diperlukan sosialisasi dan edukasi yang lebih terarah), Operasional TI saat ini belum memiliki perencanaan, ukuran target kinerja, serta monitoring dan evaluasi yang terarah dan terukur, Perlunya penguatan aspek pengendalian operasional TI yang mencakup seluruh tahapan plan-do-check-act secara terpadu, Perlunya kerangka tata kelola TI yang menjadi ditetapkan dan menjadi kesepakatan bersama.

Pesatnya perkembangan teknologi dan masifnya penggunaan media sosial mulai memberi pengaruh buruk pada praktik jurnalistik. Pengaruh buruk yang dicirikan dengan semakin banyaknya produk-produk berita, yang bukan saja tak lagi mengidahkan disiplin konfirmasi, tapi sering juga tak lengkap, sumir, dan tendensius. Pola kerja, yang juga dipengaruhi budaya sharing (berbagi) informasi di media sosial, yang membuat semua orang bisa menjadi source atas beragam konten hanya dengan dua klik: copy-paste, tanpa ricek, tanpa konfirmasi, dan mengabaikan tabayyun. Makalah autoetnografi ini mengulas dimensi-dimensi profetik dalam praktik jurnalistik, yang belakangan sering kali abai dilakukan para jurnalis muslim.
