Whether the Pairwise Rating Method and the Spatial Arrangement Method Yield Comparable Dimensionalities Depends on the Dimensionality Choice Procedure
Authors: Verheyen Steven , Storms Gert
Published: June 2020

We investigate whether two methods for obtaining similarity data yield multidimensional scaling (MDS) solutions of comparable dimensionality. In the Pairwise Rating Method (PRaM), participants rate the (dis)similarity of all pairs of stimuli on a Likert scale. In the Spatial Arrangement Method (SpAM), participants organize stimuli on a computer screen so that the distance between stimuli represents their perceived dissimilarity. Across two studies that included eight semantic categories with varying numbers of both pictorial and verbal exemplars, we did not find consistent dimensionality differences between the two similarity measurement methods. The results alleviate the concern that because of its two-dimensional nature, SpAM might underestimate the dimensionality of high-dimensional stimuli compared to PRaM. Aggregating the SpAM similarity data from a sufficient number of participants can yield spatial representations with more than two dimensions. However, the resulting number of dimensions was found to be highly dependent on the dimensionality choice procedure. Even for specific combinations of a single category and similarity measurement method, different dimensionalities were obtained depending on whether the reliability of the similarity data, Monte Carlo simulations, or predictive correlations were used to establish the number of dimensions, indicating the need for a more systematic investigation into dimensionality selection for MDS.

Published: June 2020

For many years, biofeedback and neurofeedback have been implemented in the treatment of depression. However, the effectiveness of these techniques on depressive symptomatology is still controversial. Hence, we conducted a meta-analysis of studies extracted from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase.Two different strings were considered for each of the two objectives of the study: A first group comprising studies with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) patients and a second group including studies targeting depressive symptomatology reduction in other mental or medical conditions.In the first group of studies including MDD patients, the within-group analyses yielded an effect size of Hedges’ g = 0.717, while the between-group analysis an effect size of Hedges’ g = 1.050. Moderator analyses indicate that treatment efficacy is only significant when accounting for experimental design, in favor of RCTs in comparison to non RCTs, whereas type of neurofeedback, trial design, year of publication, number of sessions, age, gender and quality of study did not influence treatment efficacy. In the second group of studies, a small but significant effect between groups was found (Hedges’ g = 0.303) in favor of bio- and neurofeedback against control groups. Moderator analyses revealed that treatment efficacy was not moderated by any of the sociodemographic and clinical variables.HRV Biofeedback and Neurofeedback are associated with a reduction in self-reported depression. Despite the fact that the field has still a large room for improvement in terms of research quality, the results presented in this study suggests that both modalities may become relevant complementary strategies for the treatment of MDD and depressive symptomatology in the coming years.
Natural Compatibilism, Indeterminism, and Intrusive Metaphysics
Authors: Nadelhoffer Thomas , Rose David , Buckwalter Wesley , Nichols Shaun
Published: June 2020

The claim that common sense regards free will and moral responsibility as compatible with determinism has played a central role in both analytic and experimental philosophy. In this paper, we show that evidence in favor of this “natural compatibilism” is undermined by the role that indeterministic metaphysical views play in how people construe deterministic scenarios. To demonstrate this, we re-examine two classic studies that have been used to support natural compatibilism. We find that although people give apparently compatibilist responses, this is largely explained by the fact that people import an indeterministic metaphysics into deterministic scenarios when making judgments about freedom and responsibility. We conclude that judgments based on these scenarios are not reliable evidence for natural compatibilism.
Everybody knows: The importance of speaking up about witnessed workplace harassment and discrimination
Authors: Elphick Camilla , Minhas Rashid , Shaw Julia
Published: June 2020

Since MeToo, light has been shed upon individual and societal consequences of workplace harassment and discrimination, and that at least 70% of victims fail to report it, but little is known about the role of witnesses in speaking up to support victims and contribute to healthier workplaces. An online survey of people who had witnessed workplace harassment or discrimination (n = 1147) was conducted to identify barriers and/or incentives to witness reporting, consequences of witness reporting, whether witness reporting mechanisms could or should be improved, and how to achieve this. The results revealed that incidents are often witnessed but seldom reported to HR by witnesses, although witnesses discuss them with colleagues. Barriers to reporting witnessed incidents, and consequences of experiencing them, overlap with those of victims, and consequences are worse when witnesses choose not to report. However, victim anonymity is compromised when witnesses discuss incidents without the victim’s permission. Nevertheless, reporting witnessed incidents has the potential to create a positive shared identity of support in workplaces. Thus, one step to healthier workplaces is to include witnesses in the fight against harassment and discrimination. A novel model of harassment reporting (HRM) is developed to examine existing approaches of witness reporting, and considerations for how to improve it are included.
Mapping the Production and Mobilization Functions of Collective Action
Authors: Robbins Blaine G , Matsueda Ross , Pfaff Steven
Published: June 2020

Collective action is a fundamental feature of human social life. If public goods are to materialize, social norms are to emerge, and social protests are to succeed, individuals must act jointly to achieve their collective ends. But how can collective action evolve when individuals receive the benefits of a common good without contributing to its production? According to theories of the critical mass, the success of collective action depends on the type of production function required for the provision of a common good. Production functions and mobilization functions, however, have proven difficult to observe empirically in large groups. Here, we report results from a factorial survey experiment administered to a disproportionate stratified random sample of undergraduate students (N = 880) that required respondents to rate their perceptions of and intentions to participate in a hypothetical student protest. Results show that the population-average production and mobilization functions are decelerating, but that individual heterogeneity is observed around the population averages. Moreover, our experiment demonstrates that latent class trajectories of production and mobilization functions, rather than population-level consensus or complete individual heterogeneity, exist in the population. We show that the majority of latent class trajectories are decelerating, while a minority are linear or relatively constant. We find that subjective interest in the common good and attitudes toward protest predict membership in latent class trajectories. Importantly, we provide evidence for the predictive validity of our estimates. We discuss the implications of our results for theories of the critical mass and for promoting collective action.
Measuring Global Cognition in a Pooled Sample using Modified Non-Linear Factor Analysis
Authors: Reason Max , Yang Yang Claire , Aiello Allison , Belsky Dan , Curran Patrick , Plassman Brenda
Published: June 2020

Currently, studies of cognition and cognitive decline in the United States are limited by the use of samples that only provide data for respondents during one stage of the adult life course. By using an Integrative Data Analysis (IDA) framework, it is possible to pool multiple national representative samples together in order to create a unified dataset that includes respondents over the entire adult life course. This study applies an IDA framework to two independent public health datasets to create a commensurate measure of cognition using Modified Non-Linear Factor Analysis (MNLFA). The overall goal is to demonstrate the process of using MNLFA for the study of cognition in a pooled dataset.

Authors: Beken Tom Vander , Vandeviver Christophe , Daenekindt Stijn
Published: June 2020

What is European criminology about? Through topic modelling, we investigate the content of 11,724 presentations held at the annual conferences of the European Society of Criminology, the largest and most influential professional association in Europe for those who are actively engaged in research, teaching, and/or practice in criminology, from 2001 to 2019. We extract 50 topics, and identify top contributing institutions and countries based on first author institutional affiliation. In addition, we determine the most and least influential topics in European criminology. We further explore how the prominence of topics has evolved over time and identify five topics that are increasingly being addressed and three topics that have gradually lost interest, hot and cold topics respectively. The results are discussed in light of previous research on European criminology and current debates on its epistemology.
Development and Deployment of the Windbridge Psi and Related Phenomena Awareness Scale (WPRPAS)
Authors: Beischel Julie , Boccuzzi Mark
Published: June 2020

Surveys regarding anomalous beliefs and exceptional experiences are an important methodology in sociology and psi-related research. Previously published questionnaires, however, contain various limitations in their philosophy, language, and usefulness. This study aimed to develop a psi survey and collect data from an experience-centered perspective. Established survey development and piloting methods were used to create the Windbridge Psi and Related Phenomena Awareness Scale (WPRPAS), a novel 10-item web-based instrument which phenomenologically describes experiential phenomena without using problematic terms and asks respondents to signify whether they are aware of the phenomena or not and, if so, what experience they have had with them. For analysis, WPRPAS items were categorized as bidirectional which involve two or more people and can be given and/or received (energy healing, mediumship, and telepathy) or unidirectional which generally involve only the experiencer/respondent [clairvoyance, micro- and macropsychokinesis (PK), out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, children’s memories of previous lives, and precognition]. Online survey response data were collected from self-identified mediums (n=316) and non-mediums (n=1,030) with no demographic statistical differences: 53.2 ± 10.1 and 53.9 ± 11.9 years of age, respectively; 89.5% and 85.5% female, respectively; both roughly 95% white. More than 80% of each participant sample reported being aware of all 10 phenomena. The portion of mediums who reported awareness of microPK and macroPK was significantly larger than the portion of non-mediums for those phenomena (each p<.00001). A significantly larger portion of mediums than non-mediums reported experiencing each of the 10 phenomena (all p<.0001). Ideally, the WPRPAS can be used by other researchers to assess awareness of psi and related phenomena and the prevalence of those experiences in other populations.

British Philanthropists and the Imperial Imagination orThe Case of the Canadians Distressed by Fire at Montreal
Authors: Eamon Michael
Published: June 2020

This article reconstructs the benevolent campaign mounted in London after the devastating Montreal fire of 1765. Appealing to a greater sense of British identity, the trustees framed the French Canadian sufferers as “new subjects” entitled to both imperial benevolence and Christian charity. At the core of the subscription were notable London philanthropist Jonas Hanway and Marine Society peers John Thompson and Fowler Walker. Well versed in the mechanics of a successful charitable subscription, the trustees employed a familiar Georgian strategy using a robust print and coffeehouse campaign to solicit public support. However, the trustees overestimated the public’s acceptance of their construction of a “greater Britain” and underestimated the elevated political enmity towards the British American colonies in the era following the Seven Years’ War. A lack of donor interest compelled them to enlarge their efforts and shift away from newer charitable tactics, instead embracing more traditional avenues such as gaining the patronage of King George III and engaging the greater British public through parish fundraising. This case study highlights the complexities of transatlantic benevolence and its use to push the boundaries of British identity in the mid-eighteenth century.

Industry Modernization Based on the Principles of Smart Specialization. Part I. Using the Key Enabling Technologies as a Priority of the EU Industrial Policy
Authors: Salikhova O. B.
Published: June 2020

The concept of smart specialization is investigated with emphasis on key components of its successful implementation. Its relation with the concepts of technology, innovation and industrialization is shown through their common goal: to increase the productivity and ensure the sustainable economic growth. An analytical review of the official European documents elaborating the mechanisms for industry modernization and the principles for the new strategy of building the smart, innovative and sustainable industry, to promote competitiveness, creation of hybrid jobs and economic growth, is made. The critical role of key enabling technologies, especially advanced industrial technologies, in modernizing industry and implementing the smart specialization strategy is highlighted. The European Commission initiatives are analyzed, aimed at implementing the programs on competitiveness enhancement in the small and medium business sector, their implementation measures, including ones on constructing statistical tools for monitoring and analysis of generation and use of advanced technologies in the context of technological innovations in the private sector. The methodological approaches to building a new set of statistical indicators are supposed to ensure approvals of political decisions on enhancing competitiveness in the EU industry through launching three specific and related actions: (i) support to the development of cross-regional investment projects in the framework of S3P-Industrial Modernization; (ii) support to the development of European strategic cluster partnerships for cooperating in thematic fields and enhancing the industry’s role; (iii)) support to companies in the manufacturing industry in using advanced industrial technologies, in order to enhance their innovation capacities. It is noted that the program “Government Support to Technological Innovations for Industry Development” has not been launched in Ukraine, in spite of 300,000 UAH appropriated in the Budget – 2018 and the procedure for use of budget funds, created and coordinated with the central executive power bodies, by which the funds had to be allocated in implementing industrial innovation technologies in the private sector, for two purposes: (i) co-funding of project implementation; (ii) partial compensation for interest rates on loans received by manufactures for project implementation. The need to form the Strategy for Smart, Innovative and Sustainable Industry in Ukraine with consideration to directives and best practices of EU and the Ukrainian realities is emphasized.
Quality Indicators of Research Results
Authors: Shablysta L. M.
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to the problems of quantitative and qualitative evaluation of research work. These problems are being actualized under the globalization influence of the formation of an innovative economy, which requires adequate financial support for research, education and other innovative factors. The quality of scientific activity has become one of the criteria for success in the modern world. Finding criteria for determining effective domestic research, taking into account the needs of national economic development in the face of increasing challenges of global competition, is extremely relevant.
Improving the reliability of the quality of research results will stimulate innovation, creative search and productive use of its results.
The article analyzes and generalizes the advantages and disadvantages of approaches to assessing the quality of research results. The advantages of scientometric evaluation (citation index, Hirsch index, impact factor) of scientific activity, productivity and progress include ease of use, low cost of assessment, as well as the ability to conduct it at the level of individual researchers, teams, organizations, countries and regions.
It is proved that in order to activate innovative processes in the economy and to make full use of the potential of science in the process of technological modernization of the Ukrainian economy, it is necessary to combine quantitative and qualitative approaches to assessment.
Applying only quantitative (scientometric) estimates will not produce the expected results. The problem of objective assessment of the quality of work of a researcher goes beyond the simplified formal scientometric indicators. This approach does not allow for high objectivity to evaluate the scientific result. Therefore, to evaluate the performance of researchers, it is proposed to use the dynamics of the quantity and quality of the content of the scientific result (innovation, generalization, validation and durability of the results) and expert judgment (the level of solving the research problem, or the usefulness of the obtained scientific results).
Proposed changes to the provisions of the Concept of reforming the system of financing and management of scientific and technical activities and a plan of measures for its implementation.
It is concluded that a comprehensive and targeted approach will help to create appropriate prerequisites for state support and ensure the development of innovative factors for the growth of the national economy.

Authors: Dmytrenko I. M. , Shaimukhometova N. V.
Published: June 2020

The impact of the adequacy of the application of the basic principles, conditions and order of consolidation by a company group, to ensure the reliability of the most specific items of financial statements, is considered as a subject matter of internal and external auditors. The components of the consolidated financial statements, its structural elements, specific items and a set of necessary disclosures in the notes are distinguished on the basis of comparative analysis. The conditions for the parent company’s control as an investor over the activities of its subsidiaries as an investee for the purpose of applying the consolidation procedure are systematized. The prerequisites for ensuring the reliability of the consolidated reporting information are generalized. The characteristics of these prerequisites are given in view of the parent company’s ownership of a certain share of the net assets of the subsidiaries at the reporting date and its investments in the subsidiaries during the reporting year with their inclusion in the book value. The necessary emphasis is placed on the proper disclosure of information about all subsidiaries in accordance with the principles of financial reporting. The subject area of internal and external audit is analyzed with focus on the most specific items of the consolidated financial statements: uncontrolled interest, goodwill and intra-group transactions. The factors for minimizing the risk of distortion at the level of individual articles and the consolidated financial statements of a company group as a whole are identified. The instruments of ensuring the proper degree of completeness and reliability of disclosure in the consolidated statements of a company group in accordance with the requirements of international financial reporting standards are considered. In particular, the specificity of the disclosure of the influence of related parties on the profit, loss and financial position of the group is discussed. The pragmatic value of disclosures is determined in view of providing users with consolidated financial statements that are transparent and relevant to economic decision making.

Особливості конституційного статусу Президента Угорщини
Authors: Tellis S. A.
Published: June 2020

Метою статті є аналіз механізмів взаємодії Президента Угорщини з Урядом та Парламентом, які закріплено в Конституції Угорщини та інших нормативно-правових документах.

Наукова новизна полягає у визначенні особливостей конституційного статусу Президента Угорщини, його місця та ролі в системі державної влади, а також вивчення можливості використання позитивного досвіду для розвитку української державності.

Висновки. Загальний принцип функціонування інституту президентства в системі державної влади Республіки Угорщина полягає в тому, що інститут президента є нейтральною владою поза трьох гілок влади. Роль Президента Угорщини як політичної противаги полягає не в тому, щоб приймати рішення, а в тому, щоб привернути увагу до обставин, таким чином протидіючи гілкам влади. Президент не має владних повноважень, згідно з Конституцією він виражає національну єдність і стоїть на охороні демократичного функціонування державного апарату. Виконання функцій «охорони» та «єдності нації» вимагає демонстрації Президентом своїх суб’єктивних цінностей. Президент Республіки виконує інтегративну функцію, що надає голові держави символічну роль у втіленні конституційного ладу цінностей. Державні збори Угорщини є повновладним органом, що обирають Президента та формують політично відповідальний перед ними Уряд. Вирішальна роль Прем’єр-міністра в блоці законодавчої і виконавчої влади надає йому статус особи публічного права, що складає конституційну основу статусного мандата задля визначення загального напрямку державної політики в рамках урядової програми.

Досвід Угорщини має важливе значення для забезпечення належного державного функціонування та розвитку України як парламентсько-президентської республіки. Система забезпечення розподілу владних повноважень потребує від української влади ще більшої уваги, ніж в Угорщині. Якщо у наших сусідів мова йде про вже створений лад у цій царині, то в Україні тривають процеси становлення правової держави.
