The Comintern and the National and Colonial Question: the Roots of Soviet Anti-Imperialism and Anti-Racism Reconsidered
Authors: Drachewych Oleksa
Published: May 2024

With Russia’s escalation in Ukraine, many long-standing positions and relationships have become much more complicated. Many nations in the Global South have elected to remain neutral to avoid damaging their long-standing relations with Russia, which they rely on for political or economic stability. The Russian government has instrumentalized this history of Russian and Soviet support for anti-imperialism to buoy its own relations with the Global South. This support has its roots in the Comintern period when the Communist International promoted anti-imperialism, anti-racism, and self-determination of nations. These efforts, in turn, helped develop the image of the Soviet Union as an anti-imperial bulwark, while also providing an alternate path in which many nations in the Global South found inspiration following the Second World War. This thought piece reconsiders the history of the Comintern to ask fresh questions about its role in anti-imperial and anti-racist movements. In doing so, it calls for a greater attention to the limitations of the Soviet regime during the interwar period, and a reconsideration of the imperial actions of the Soviet Union as relates to this history. It also explores how the history of the Comintern and the complicated history of Soviet support for global decolonization in the interwar period remains relevant to contextualizing present-day reactions to Russian aggression in Ukraine and why, despite the correctives of the post-Cold War period, historians now need to ensure further complexities in this history are not overlooked in the instrumentalization of this history promoted by Russia following February 2022.
Studying War in a Time of War: Russian Imperialism in the Seventeenth and Twenty-First Centuries
Authors: Griffin Clare
Published: May 2024

In the first two weeks of August, 535 Russian soldiers were seriously wounded in Eastern Ukraine. The year was 1678. 1678 saw some of the heaviest fighting in the Russo-Turkish of 1676–81, as the Ottoman and Russian Empires, alongside their local allies, struggled to gain control of the strategic location of Chyhyryn. In summer 2023, that town on the Dnipro was only around 300km from the front in the Russo-Ukraine war. To read about soldiers being injured and killed in service of imperial expansion three centuries ago as we watch the same empire engage in the same activities in the same location today brings home how history and the present are inescapably connected. Indeed, historians of violence have faced this problem before, as with a group at the University of Pittsburgh working on Gun Violence and Its Histories, who explicitly seek to use histories of violence to think about gun violence in the modern USA. Military histories have long been an established part of the study of Russian history, highlighting the technological, imperial, bureaucratic, and diplomatic aspects of organized state violence. The present moment demands a re-evaluation of histories of Russia at war, one that considers such issues as histories of disability and pain, and also engages with recent calls to decolonize Russian studies. Putting into dialogue these different perspectives on war and violence we can consider if, why, and how we can study the history of war during a time of war.

Published: May 2024

This piece argues that a greater understanding of the role of regions in Russian history could lead to different ways of writing Russian history that need not center the state. By including a wider range of intellectual and political actors from the regions, as well as tracing the long connections between them and Ukrainian thinkers, such a history would make regions subjects rather than simply objects. The original post and the significant number of responses provide an important snapshot of the thinking of the field of Russian history about questions related to the territorial integrity of Russia and Ukraine. The responses also deal with related topics concerning the role of indigenous peoples and the processes of colonization in the narrative of Russian history.

Pengembangan Alat Peraga Motor Listrik Sederhana Pada Materi Gaya Lorentz
Authors: Wulandari Astie , Adelia Ramadhani Anggi , Khairunnisa Putri Jamiatul
Published: May 2024

An experiment has been carried out on the application of the Lorentz force to a simple electric motor to study the direction of the magnetic force. This research aims to determine the change in electrical energy into mechanical energy, in which the Lorentz force is the force that arises due to the presence of an electric current in a magnetic field. So, if we have a conducting object that is in a magnetic field, then we flow it with an electric current, a force will arise that can move the object. The benefit of applying the Lorentz force is that in an electric motor, by passing an electric current through a coil in a magnetic field, a Lorentz force can be generated in the form of rotation in the electric motor to move the shaft which can then be used for all your daily needs. Tools that use the Lorentz force principle in everyday life are fans, multimeters and dynamos. The development of a simple electric motor teaching aid has been carried out as a means of learning the Lorentz force concept for students. This teaching aid is designed to illustrate the basic principles of electric motors, where the Lorentz force plays a role in moving the coil in a magnetic field. This research aims to increase students' understanding of the Lorentz force and its application in electric motors. Development methods include tool design, prototyping, and testing on students. The trial results showed an increase in students' understanding of the Lorentz force concept after using this teaching aid. It is hoped that the development of this simple electric motor teaching aid can be an effective alternative in learning physics, especially in understanding the concept of Lorentz force.

Comparing Teacher Turnover Intentions to Actual Turnover: Cautions and Lessons for the Field
Authors: Nguyen Tuan D. , Bettini Elizabeth , Redding Christopher , Gilmour Allison F.
Published: May 2024

Many studies rely on teachers’ reported career intentions instead of measuring actual turnover, but research does not clearly document how these variables relate to one another. We test how measures of teacher intentions relate to turnover. Using nationally representative data on 102,970 public school teachers, we conduct a descriptive and regression analysis to probe how teachers’ turnover intentions are and are not associated with moving schools and leaving teaching. While there is some variation across measures of intent, we find evidence that intention is distinct from, but strongly related to, turnover. We advise that surveys continue to capture intention as it provides meaningful information, but we recommend intention not be used as proxy for turnover.

Published: May 2024

Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is inspired by Poincare ‘s early studies and describes non-linear character-istics in time-series by identifying similarity between states pairwisely among all observations. Since every pair iseither close or distant, this procedure maps trajectories to the realm of binary states, a fruitful field for the applicationof combinatorial tools. In this work, we leverage symbolic methods from analytic combinatorics to make inferenceon time-series data. Methods were implemented and made available in open-source software (AnalyticComb.jl ; Sym-bolicInference.jl). Study cases include simulated data, precipitation volumes and dengue cases. We demonstrate the detection of significant motifs: specific sequences of consecutive states that are repeated within a series or between two of them. The framework successfully identifies patterns in systems such as random walks and noisy periodic signals. When applied to empirical data, it also highlights the association of dengue peaks (e.g. infectious outbreaks) and rainfall seasonality (e.g. weather fluctuation). Using combinatorial constructions tailored for special cases, our method provides exact probabilities for inference in the analysis of time-series recurrences
Optimal and sub-optimal temporal decisions can explain procrastination in a real-world task
Authors: Chebolu Sahiti , Dayan Peter
Published: May 2024

Procrastination is a universal phenomenon, with a significantproportion of the population reporting interference and evenharm from such delays. Why do people put off tasks despitewhat are apparently their best intentions, and why do they de-liberately defer in the face of prospective failure? Past researchshows that procrastination is a heterogeneous construct withpossibly diverse causes. To grapple with the complexity of thetopic, we construct a taxonomy of different types of procrasti-nation and potential sources for each type. We simulate com-pletion patterns from three broad model types: exponential orinconsistent temporal discounting, and waiting for interestingtasks; and provide some preliminary evidence, through com-parisons with real-world data, of the plausibility of multipletypes of, and pathways for, procrastination.

Published: May 2024

ObjectiveAs multiple sophisticated techniques are used to evaluate psychometric scales, in theory reducing error and enhancing measurement of patient reported outcomes, we aimed to determine whether applying different psychometric analyses would demonstrate important differences in treatment effects.Study Design and SettingWe conducted secondary analysis of individual participant data from 20 antidepressant treatment trials obtained from Vivli.org (n=6,843). Pooled item-level data from the HRSD-17 were analysed using confirmatory factory analysis (CFA), item response theory (IRT) and network analysis (NA). Multilevel models were used to analyse differences in trial effects at approximately 8 weeks (range 4-12 weeks) post-treatment commencement, with standardised mean differences calculated as Cohen’s d. Effect size outcomes for the original total depression scores were compared with psychometrically-informed outcomes based on abbreviated and weighted depression scores. ResultsSeveral items performing poorly during psychometric analyses and were eliminated, resulting in different models being obtained for each approach. Treatment effects were modified as follows per psychometric approach: 10.4%-14.9% increase for CFA, 0%-2.9% increase for IRT, 14.9%-16.4% reduction for NA. ConclusionPsychometric analyses differentially moderate effect size outcomes depending on the method used. In a 20-trial sample, factor analytic approaches increased treatment effect sizes relative to the original outcomes, NA decreased them, and IRT results reflected original trial outcomes.
From Cosine Similarity to Likelihood Ratio: Coupling Representations From Machine Learning (and Other Sources) With Cognitive Models
Authors: Cox Gregory Edward
Published: May 2024

Modern machine learning models yield vector representations that capture similarity relations between complex items like text and images. These representations can help explain and predict how individuals respond to those items in particular tasks, but only if representations are coupled to a cognitive model of the processes people use to perform those tasks. I introduce C2L ("context to likelihood"), a mathematical transformation of the similarity between vector representations, operationalized as the cosine of the angle between them, into a ratio of the relative likelihood that the two representations encode the same versus different items. The likelihood ratio operationalizes similarity in a manner that is motivated by cognitive theories of perception and memory and is readily "plugged in" to cognitive models. Two example applications show how C2L can be used to compute drift rates of a diffusion decision model based on similarity information derived from machine learning models, thereby accounting for the speed and accuracy with which individual participants recognize individual items. C2L enables inferences regarding how different people represent items, how much information they encode about each item, and how that information is affected by experimental manipulations. C2L serves both the practical purpose of making it easier to incorporate representations from machine learning into cognitive models and the theoretical purpose of allowing cognitive models to grant insight into how people process the increasingly complex, naturalistic items to which machine learning models are applied.
Mapping the future of technological innovations
Authors: Bóck Caroline , Kettemann Matthias C.
Published: May 2024

This Foresight paper discusses the application of future studies and strategic foresight in legislative processes, particularly concerning digitalization in post-pandemic Europe. The paper highlights the imperative for laws to be designed for the future – and the rights of future generations – to safeguard intergenerational justice and international solidarity. The analysis begins with an exploration of the challenges and opportunities that digitalization presents in a Europe recovering from COVID-19, which has significantly accelerated technological adoption across various sectors. It examines how laws can be designed to embrace these developments while ensuring societal resilience to future crises. Providing a concise overview of future studies and strategic foresight, the paper identifies gaps and blind spots in EU policy-making that can be filled by integrating foresight studies into policy-making structures.The paper proposes institutionalization strategies and advocates for an ethical framework, suggesting ‘digital humanism’ as a value foundation to guide future-orientated policy decisions. This framework is aimed at ensuring that legislative measures not only address present issues but are also adaptable and considerate of future societal needs. The contribution ends with a presentation of proposals for institutionalizing strategic foresight, advocating for a value-driven approach anchored in digital humanism.

Authors: Wintemute Garen J. , Velasquez Bradley , Tomsich Elizabeth A. , Reeping Paul M , Robinson Sonia , Tancredi Daniel Joseph , Pear Veronica A.
Published: May 2024

Objectives: To estimate prevalences of racism, hostile sexism, homonegativity, transphobia, xenophobia, antisemitism, and Islamophobia in the United States; to estimate their associations, individually and collectively, with support for and willingness to engage in political violence.Methods: Findings are from Wave 2 of a nationally representative longitudinal survey of members of the Ipsos KnowledgePanel, conducted May 18-June 8, 2023. Prevalences are estimated based on levels of agreement with items in abbreviated versions of previously validated scales. Associations with political violence are estimated based on agreement with measures of support for or willingness to engage in such violence and are expressed as weighted proportions and adjusted prevalence differences, with p-values adjusted for the false discovery rate and reported as q-values.Results: The Wave 2 completion rate was 84.2%; there were 9,385 respondents. After weighting, 50.7% (95% confidence interval (CI) 49.4%, 52.1%) of respondents were female and 62.7% (95% CI, 61.2%, 64.1%) were white, non-Hispanic; weighted mean (± standard deviation) age was 48.5 (25.9) years. Prevalences of strong agreement ranged from 3.2% (95% CI 2.6%, 3.7%) for antisemitism to 26.4% (95% CI 25.1%, 27.2%) for homonegativity and exceeded 10% in 4 of 7 cases. In all cases, significantly higher percentages of persons in strong agreement than in non-agreement supported political violence and were willing to engage in it; the largest differences were for Islamophobia and hostile sexism. Phobias with relatively lower prevalences of strong agreement tended to have stronger associations with political violence. Associations with political violence were larger for the 7 phobias combined than for individual phobias.Conclusions: Racism, hostile sexism, homonegativity, transphobia, xenophobia, antisemitism, and Islamophobia were all strongly associated with support for and willingness to engage in political violence. These findings can help focus political violence prevention efforts in the United States.

IMPORTANCE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF DECENT LEGISLATION FOR POLISH ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Authors: Ziółkowski Dawid
Published: May 2024

The paper analyses the principle of decent legislation and its significance for Polish administrative law. The principle in question derives from the concept of a democratic state under the rule of law. The significant role of administrative law in shaping the status of individuals (citizens) in the state as well as the influence of this branch of law on particular areas of social life are indicated. Due to the special characteristics of this branch of law, the principle of correct legislation should be absolutely taken into account in the legislative process that involves drafting of administrative legal acts. The case law of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal has distinguished certain elements or aspects of the principle of good legislation, including the following: non-retroactivity, protection of acquired rights, pacta sunt servanda, respect for pending interests or appropriate vacatio legis. The vast majority of them should be taken into account when working on administrative regulations. The paper also refers to the current crisis of administrative law discussed in the domestic literature from a practical point of view, by presenting two errors made by the legislator when amending administrative procedural laws. The conclusion of the study includes i.a. a proposal for a fuller involvement of experts, legal scholars and commentators, professional attorneys or administrative court judges in the process of drafting administrative laws.
BEYOND THE COURTROOM: THE EVOLUTION OF RIGHTS-BASED CLIMATE LITIGATION FROM URGENDA TO HELD AND ITS POLICY IMPACT
Authors: Buszman Zuzanna
Published: May 2024

This paper examines the growing trend of employing international and human rights law in domestic climate change lawsuits as a strategic tool for legal action. Using a qualitative and comparative analysis of seminal case law, such as Urgenda Foundation v the Netherlands and R (Friends of the Earth and others) v Heathrow Airport Ltd and Held v State, this paper aims to explain the juridical trajectories and methodologies employed in rights-based climate litigation. The primary objective is to critically evaluate the potential regulatory impact of this emergent jurisprudential paradigm on both domestic legislation and international climate change treaties. The study posits that when traditional enforcement mechanisms enshrined in international environmental law treaties prove ineffective, domestic litigation grounded in human rights claims serve as a catalyst for transformative jurisprudence. This, in turn, can exert substantial pressure on state and non-state actors, compelling them to adopt more strict regulatory measures to mitigate the effects of climate change. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to elucidate the effectiveness and development of rights-based jurisprudence in climate litigation, and second, to assess its potential for influencing the creation of stronger regulatory mechanisms at both state and international levels. The paper argues that when international treaties fail to take adequate climate change action, domestic lawsuits based on human rights claims start to serve as a lever of change, pressuring both state and non-state actors into adopting more ambitious measures. The study underscores the importance of this rights-based approach not merely as a legal strategy but as a multifaceted tool for effectuating systemic regulatory advancements and fostering climate justice.
'BETTER REGULATION PROGRAMME’ IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: PROS AND CONS
Authors: Grzeszczak Robert , Kapica Kamil
Published: May 2024

The aim of this paper is to present the concept of Better Regulation (BetReg), in particular its implementation mechanisms in light of the latest documents of EU bodies and its application in the European Union legislative procedures. It will illustrate both viable aspects and shortcomings of this initiative. The authors argue that the better regulation postulate has a horizontal nature. It is an initiative that brings tangible and noticeable effects; however, it must be applied as an EU legislative standard for the whole EU law: not only for that being designed or amended but also for assessing the existing law in all EU law-making institutions and countries implementing European legislation. A question is raised whether BetReg has a real impact on legislative practice or whether it remains predominantly a postulate. The hypothesis is that BetReg is already a mature project and may significantly improve the legislative environment in the EU. It should be noted that the paper covers only a fraction of the problems, the comprehensive examination of which would allow verification of the hypothesis.

Leukemia, characterized by abnormal proliferation of blood cells, primarily affects leukocytes but can also impact other blood cells. Treatment typically involves stem cell transplants, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, although chemotherapy can cause significant damage to healthy cells while targeting cancer cells. The effects of anti-cancer drugs like Sorafenib (SOR) and Doxorubicin (DOX) in leukemia treatment have been studied. Sorafenib, impacting various cellular signaling pathways, has proven effective in cancer therapy. On the other hand, Doxorubicin interacts with DNA to halt cell replication, leading to cell death. The impact of these drugs on apoptosis and the cell cycle in leukemia cells has been investigated. The study aims to examine the effects of DOX and SOR on URG4/URGCP mRNA levels in K562 and HL-60 leukemia cells, elucidating their impact on apoptosis and the cell cycle. This research seeks to understand the cellular effects of drugs used in leukemia treatment, contributing valuable insights to drug development processes in leukemia therapy.
Using Mobile Polling to Teach Animal Ethics to Large Audiences: A Case Study of First-Year Veterinary Students’ Personal Views
Authors: De Ruyver Ciska , Moons Christel P.H.
Published: May 2024

Research has demonstrated that educating veterinary students in animal ethics helps them address moral dilemmas in their later careers. Teaching about animal ethics dilemmas to large student groups is challenging. Therefore, a polling series was created for first-year veterinary students at Ghent University, Belgium. Over the course of three theoretical sessions and during four consecutive academic years, students answered four questions about which animals they have at home, prioritization of animal versus owner interests, motivations for studying veterinary medicine, and eating patterns. Poll results were used to discuss student views in an applied session. The voluntary polls were a success, with more than half of the students taking part and with the participation rate increasing over four years. Findings indicate that animal ethics topics were more likely to elicit a response from students than veterinary ethics topics. This trend persisted in applied sessions, where students found it easier to discuss and substantiate animal ethics dilemmas compared to veterinary ethics dilemmas. In conclusion, discussing polling results on animal ethics dilemmas can help first-year veterinary students develop ethical awareness, personal identity, and decision-making skills.
