SHAPING AMERICA'S PERCEPTION OF MUSLIMS: The Transnational Approach to Globalization’s Role in Popular Culture
Authors: Laliyo Dyah Anastasia Fadhilah , Dewi Karina Utami
Published: June 2024

After the 9/11 tragedy in 2001, where terrorist attacks destroyed the WTC and the Pentagon, Muslims were widely represented as terrorists in American media. However, the representation of Muslims began to change from 2017 to 2022 in popular culture such as films and TV series. Instead of being depicted as terrorists or "bad guys," Muslims started to be portrayed more positively as "good guys" in some movies. It is worth questioning what factors or circumstances led to this change in the depiction of Muslims in American popular culture. Through a transnational approach, the authors find that the shift in perception of Muslim characters is a utilization of current popular culture trends, which emphasize diversity to meet American audience preferences, resulting in several globalization consequences. These consequences include the formation of a Muslim image adjusted to American standards, often conflicting with Islamic culture, and the homogenization of Muslim culture, which is often reduced or even omitted in Muslim characters in films. In short, the shift in perception of Muslim portrayals in American popular culture is based on three interrelated factors: capitalism, representation, and globalization.
Efeitos de barragens em barras fluviais do baixo Rio São Francisco: dinâmica morfosedimentar e implicações para interpretação de rios antigos
Authors: Figueiredo Felipe Torres , Gomes Pedro Victor Oliveira
Published: June 2024

Os principais rios ativos do mundo estão barrados, com vazão defluente reduzida e afetados por assoreamento do canal, o que limita o uso de seus depósitos sedimentares como análogos para interpretação de paleoambientes. O Rio São Francisco hipoteticamente influenciado pelo último barramento de Xingó é um exemplo, cujo canal teria sofrido mudanças geomorfológicas significativas nos últimos 30 anos, porém pouco investigado em detalhe. Com o objetivo de suprir esta lacuna, foram investigadas morfologia e sedimentologia de barras em um trecho do baixo curso, próximos à Propriá (SE). Os métodos foram: fotointerpretação de cartas topográficas, imagens de satélite e análise de fácies. Os resultados da fotointerpretação evidenciam um canal largo, com poucas barras de meio de canal e canais secundários sob fluxo natural (1854 – 1959), acréscimos à jusante e colmatação de canais de atalho durante os barramentos (1954-1994). Os 18 anos após Xingó não evidenciaram mudanças relevantes na morfologia do trecho, corroborando com a hipótese da influência sobre o assoreamento, porém mais notado a partir dos anos 2010, quando as taxas de crescimento foram maiores. O modelo sedimentológico proposto sugere a presença de canais secundários rasos, transversais ao canal principal recobertos por lama e lençóis de areia eólica sobre o topo de barras. O modelo contrasta com interpretações do registro rochoso, onde as mesmas evidências suportariam interpretações compatíveis com paleoambientes às margens do canal principal, em um contexto de planície de inundação. Nosso estudo de caso reforça a necessidade de recorrer as evidências de canais ativos na escala de detalhe para reinterpretar o registro antigo de forma mais assertiva e independente de modelos fluviais construídos a partir do registro de climas polares e temperados de rios de degelo.
Morphological patterns and distribution of Inselbergs in Quixadá and Quixeramobim – Northeastern Brazil
Authors: Gomes Eliomara Leite Meira , Maia Rubson Pinheiro , Souza Anna Sabrina Vidal de
Published: June 2024

Inselberg fields are found on several continents, including South America, North America, and Africa. In Brazil, one of the largest assemblages of these landforms is the Quixadá-Quixeramobim inselberg field, which is composed of 195 inselbergs organised in two clusters corresponding to the Quixadá and Quixeramobim granitic plutons. In general terms, studies related to spatial distribution and morphological patterns of inselbergs based on morphometric parameters are still scarce. The aim of this work is to analyse the distribution of inselbergs in relation to morphological and morphometric patterns and to point out the main factors influencing their distribution on granitic plutons, in order to support the understand of the evolution of these landforms. Radar and optical images with different spatial resolutions were used for the morphometric analysis of the inselbergs. Their boundaries were manually vectorised using GIS programs and their minimum and maximum heights were automatically extracted using an analysis and measurement tool inserted in the QGIS 3.28.4 Firenze software. Six core areas were identified with a high density of inselbergs, reaching 1,5 inselbergs per square kilometre. The distribution patterns are generally related to the geological/faciological characteristics of the plutons and their structural configuration.
Fenomenologi Persepsi Pelaku Perselingkuhan Undercurrent dalam Pernikahan Analisis Enklarandes Verstehen
Authors: Ode Arwa Sadath , Andi Mirza Ronda  , Des Hanafi
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Infidelity has always been an interesting topic to talk about amongst peers or even a viral headline on our social media. This phenomenon is also known as an undercurrent social symptom that is based on emotional connection and leans more on the doers' biological needs. The researcher is interested in finding the perception of the doers of committing infidelity despite their legal status. The research relies on the Phenomenology of Perception and Symbolic Interactionism. Narrations, stories, and wordings are being used as a qualitative analysis of the characteristics of Enklarendes Verstehen which started with silence. Analysis was carried out through an interpretive approach. The informant's status when asked for information was still (husband/wife), had or was still having an affair Silence is crucial and effective in listening and gathering valuable information to reach an understanding of the actions of other people in doing something. The research concludes that the act of infidelity results in the doers having two opposite feelings at the same time; happy yet restless, exciting but feels so challenged and addicted such as the spice of rujak. This is aligned with the phenomenology of communication that there is no conceptual schema besides an experience to reveal the truth than an observation.

ABSTRAK
Hubungan perselingkuhan kerap menjadi topik seru bahkan viral dibicarakan dalam beranda media sosial. Fenomena perselingkuhan ini juga disebut sebagai gejala sosial “Arus bawah” (Undercurrent) yang dilandasi kedekatan emosional dan cenderung berorientasi pada kebutuhan biologis. Peneliti tertarik untuk mengetahui persepsi perselingkuhan bagi pelaku mengingat kebanyakan dari mereka telah menyandang status resmi. Penelitian ini bersandar pada fenomenologi persepsi dan teori interaksi simbolik. Narasi, cerita, kata-kata dan tatanan bahasa digunakan sebagai sumber data kualitatif yang dianalisis dengan karakteristik Enklarendes Verstehen yang dimulai dengan diam. Analisis dilakukan melalui pendekatan interpretif. Status informan saat dimintai keterangan masih berstatus (suami/istri), pernah dan masih melakukan perselingkuhan. Diam adalah cara efektif untuk menangkap pengertian dan pemahaman yang berkaitan dengan orang-orang yang berada dalam pengalaman tertentu sehingga dapat memperoleh nilai dan pengalaman yang berkualitas. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa perselingkuhan memberikan dua rasa yang berbeda dalam waktu bersamaan, senang tetapi tidak tenang, seru dan menantang bahkan menagihkan seperti pedas-pedas rujak. Sejalan dengan apa yang menjadi hakikat fenomenologi dalam komunikasi bahwa tidak ada skema konseptual diluar pengalaman langsung yang memadai untuk menyingkapkan kebenaran, hanya lewat perhatian yang sadar kebenaran dapat diketahui.

Kritik Argumen Kosmologis Al-Ghazali terhadap Konsep Penciptaan Alam menurut Stephen Hawking
Authors: Trianto Syaifullah Aji
Published: June 2024

In the existence of God, the cosmological argument rests on the novelty aspect of nature. Although the big bang theory supports the assumption that nature has a beginning, according to Stephen Hawking, nature can begin independently without God's intervention. The purpose of this research is to show the failure of the concept of the creation of the universe according to Stephen Hawking through Al-Ghazali's cosmological argument. The problem formulations that need to be answered are: (1) what is Stephen Hawking's view on the big bang theory, leading him to conclude that the universe could have been created independently?; and (2) how is the construction of Al-Ghazali's cosmological argument relevant to criticize this view? The approach in this research is a research model on scientific theory. With the material object in the form of the concept of the creation of the universe according to Stephen Hawking which is reviewed through the formal object of Al-Ghazali's cosmological argument. This research results in conclusions. First, Stephen Hawking's view of the big bang theory based on scientific determinism has consequences for deism and atheism. Second, the construction of Al-Ghazali's cosmological argument is relevant based on his criticism of the emanation theory which has identical consequences with Stephen Hawking's scientific determinism view. The critique shows that it is impossible for the universe to be created out of nothing independently, because the creation of the universe at a certain time requires the existence of a principle of determination and the determinant factor also requires a willing personal agent, namely God. Another implication of this argument is that God has absolute power and freedom, both to create the universe or not and to intervene in its course.

La presente comunicación analiza el nexo entre transformación digital y bioética a partir de aportes de las teorías feministas de la tecnología (TFT). Su objetivo general es enriquecer la discusión filosófica en torno a los desafíos biopolíticos (Bratton, 2021) que piden por una bioética robusta, como la catástrofe ecológica o la medicalización de la vida (Mainetti, 1990). Los objetivos específicos son, en primer lugar, tematizar la necesidad de revitalizar la bioética en términos conceptuales, acercándola a su origen cibernético olvidado (Potter, 1971). Para ello, trabajamos con conceptos como el de «antinaturalismo» (Hester, 2019) o el de «antigenealogía» (Preciado, 2020). En segundo lugar, indagar la llamada «bioetificación» (Calvo, 2019) en tanto eticidad emergente de las mediaciones entre humanxs, algoritmos y naturaleza; para ello, se trabaja con las nociones de «cuidado» (Nurock, 2020 ) y «dilema» (Gilligan, 1982). En el primer caso, encontramos que las TFT permiten evitar la absolutización moral tanto de la tecnología como de la naturaleza, sin recaer en la relativización absoluta de las mismas. En el segundo caso, mediante el análisis de las inteligencias artificiales (IA) dedicadas al cuidado, encontramos que las TFT clarifican la influencia de los sistemas algorítmicos en el desarrollo de las competencias morales.
Factors Associated With Self-Efficacy Toward Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Among Kuwaiti Adolescent Girls
Authors: AlGhanim Latifa , Alkazemi Dalal Usamah Zaid
Published: June 2024

Background: The factors that may influence adolescents’ health-related behaviors in Kuwait are unclear. We hypothesized that girls’ self-efficacy would be negatively associated with their weight statuses and positively associated with healthy eating-related behaviors. This study aimed to measure healthy eating-related parameters, including self-efficacy, dietary habits, dietary beliefs, nutrition knowledge, and physical activity, in a sample of Kuwaiti adolescent girls and assess the correlates of self-efficacy, including weight status and dietary and health behaviors. Methods: In this cross-sectional, self-administered survey at the school level, we evaluated students of three schools in different governorate locations in Kuwait. The participants were adolescent girls (n=301; mean age, 16.6±1.2 years) who attended secondary schools. The main outcome measures were self-efficacy, dietary habits, dietary beliefs, nutrition knowledge, physical activity, and weight status per body mass index (BMI) categories. Pearson’s correlation analysis was performed to determine the associations among the healthy behavior related parameter scores. The independent samples t-test was used to examine the differences in scores between participants’ characteristics and self-efficacy scores (SES). Multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the final independent correlates of SES.Results: Only 19.9% of the participants had high self-efficacy toward healthy eating behaviors, 20.9% had “satisfactory eating habits,” 11.3% had a good comprehension of the meanings of healthy and unhealthy dietary habits and food, 16.3% had good nutrition knowledge, and 29.2% had an active lifestyle. SES was negatively correlated with BMI (r=-0.074, P=0.03) and positively correlated with all domains of healthy eating and physical activity. However, SES was not associated with nutritional knowledge. The independent correlates of SES in the multivariate regression analysis were governorate, eating beliefs, healthy eating score, and physical activity (R2=38.3%).Conclusions: Adolescent girls in Kuwait demonstrated a high level of self-efficacy toward healthy eating and behaviors and had firm nutritional beliefs; however, they failed to translate their beliefs into good nutritional habits. It is necessary to develop interventional nutrition programs at the school level that aim at improving healthy behaviors among adolescents.

A measurement method for zero-degree thermostat
Authors: Zhao Xia , Dou Meng
Published: June 2024

Thermocouple thermometers are widely used in laboratories and industry, the ice-water mixture is usually used as cold end compensation for thermocouple thermometer measurement. However, the ice-water mixture has disadvantages, such as complex manufacturing process, short use time, and unstable internal temperature field. The zero-temperature thermostat can replace the traditional ice water mixture to provide a stable temperature field environment. However, there is no suitable measurement method that can evaluate the zero-degree thermostat to meet the measurement requirements of thermocouple thermometer. Therefore, comparative experiments on temperature deviation, volatility, axial temperature field uniformity, radial temperature field uniformity, and load characteristics of the ice-water mixture and the zero-temperature thermostat are evaluated. In addition, the uncertainty of the zero-temperature thermostat and the ice water mixture is also proposed. The results reveal that the measurement results of temperature deviation, volatility, axial temperature field uniformity and load characteristic of the zero-temperature thermostat is smaller than that of the ice water mixture. Meanwhile, the uncertainty results also reveal that the zero-temperature thermostat is more stable than the ice water mixture. This study provides a comprehensive method for evaluating the performance of zero temperature thermostats, which can be used to verify the accuracy of the instrument and ensures the reliability of the thermocouple thermometers measurement, and promotes the development of zero temperature thermostat in temperature measurement field.

Factors Related to Food Waste Disposal Behavior of Students in the Dormitory of STIKes Santa Elisabeth Medan
Authors: Pane Jagentar , Simorangkir Lindawati , Sitompul Iralomal Oktavia
Published: June 2024

Food waste occurs when perfectly edible food is discarded for various reasons. Factors contributing to food waste include menu neglect, excess preparation, unappealing appearance, and inaccurate perceptions of taste. Reducing food waste can be achieved by valuing food as an essential aspect of human life and managing food consumption effectively. Based on a survey conducted in dormitories, the significant issue identified is the daily abundance of leftovers, including 4-6 buckets of vegetables, tempeh, and tofu, mainly due to the food needing to meet the students' tastes. This study examines the factors influencing food waste disposal behaviour among students at the STIKes Santa Elisabeth Medan dormitory in 2023. The study utilized a cross-sectional approach combined with correlational research and involved 84 students living in the dormitory. The research instruments included a Food Waste Questionnaire and a Food Scales Questionnaire. Data analysis involved using Chi-square tests to determine the relationship between independent variables of food appearance and taste factors and the dependent variable of food waste behaviour. The results revealed a significant relationship between unattractive food appearance and high food waste, with 90.4% demonstrating high waste and 9.6% showing low waste, as confirmed by a Chi-square value of 455 and a p-value of 0.05. In conclusion, this study found a notable association between unattractive food appearance and the disposal behaviour of dormitory students regarding food waste.

Fuzzy C-Means was used to group students into several alternative majors such as Catering (CT), Fashion Design (FD), Accounting and Institutional Finance (AIF), Online Business and Marketing (OBM), Multimedia (MM), Office Governance Automation (OGA), and Computer and Network Engineering (CNE). This study employed the quantitative approach with the pre-experimental research design. Data were collected through interest-aptitude tests and documentation. The participants of this study were 58 students of State Vocational High School Barabai 1. Fuzzy C-Means managed to group students into seven clusters. With the criteria of interests and talents, every student had the opportunity to be in all existing majors. The cluster validity value obtained using the Partition Coefficient Index is in the good category (0.6054). The system accuracy value is 89.7%. It means that there is an increase in the accuracy rate of 10.4% when compared to selecting majors manually. Based on cluster validation and the level of system accuracy, a decision support system using the Fuzzy C-Means algorithm is feasible to be an alternative for determining school majors.

The challenges of socioeconomic loss due to the increasing number of unemployed persons, especially in rural areas, remain high. Tourist villages, comprising villagers’ activities and local attractions in rural areas, are a potential source that can accommodate people to meet job needs. This study aims to define the roles, tasks, knowledge, skills, attributes, and functional areas of competence in tourist villages. The research was conducted in three tourist villages, namely Segajih, Jatimulyo, and Tinalah, in the Yogyakarta Special Region Province. The study employed a qualitative approach with research steps consisting of field observation, in-depth interviews, data generation, data analysis, and expert judgment. Data analysis refers to the Regional Model Competence Standard of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The results showed that tourist villages play a role and task for the people as a life-based learning approach. The implementation of these roles and tasks requires knowledge, skills, and attributes, representing the functional areas of competence. Tourist villages have the opportunity to create jobs for the people; however, the community expresses concerns about skills improvement, such as social and emotional skills, cognitive and metacognitive skills, basic digital skills, as well as green job skills.

Understanding the Use of Mobility Data in Disasters: Exploratory Qualitative Study of COVID-19 User Feedback
Authors: Chan Jennifer Lisa , Tsay Sarah , Sambara Sraavya , Welch Sarah B
Published: June 2024

Background

Human mobility data have been used as a potential novel data source to guide policies and response planning during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The COVID-19 Mobility Data Network (CMDN) facilitated the use of human mobility data around the world. Both researchers and policy makers assumed that mobility data would provide insights to help policy makers and response planners. However, evidence that human mobility data were operationally useful and provided added value for public health response planners remains largely unknown.

Objective

This exploratory study focuses on advancing the understanding of the use of human mobility data during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study explored how researchers and practitioners around the world used these data in response planning and policy making, focusing on processing data and human factors enabling or hindering use of the data.

Methods

Our project was based on phenomenology and used an inductive approach to thematic analysis. Transcripts were open-coded to create the codebook that was then applied by 2 team members who blind-coded all transcripts. Consensus coding was used for coding discrepancies.

Results

Interviews were conducted with 45 individuals during the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although some teams used mobility data for response planning, few were able to describe their uses in policy making, and there were no standardized ways that teams used mobility data. Mobility data played a larger role in providing situational awareness for government partners, helping to understand where people were moving in relation to the spread of COVID-19 variants and reactions to stay-at-home orders. Interviewees who felt they were more successful using mobility data often cited an individual who was able to answer general questions about mobility data; provide interactive feedback on results; and enable a 2-way communication exchange about data, meaning, value, and potential use.

Conclusions

Human mobility data were used as a novel data source in the COVID-19 pandemic by a network of academic researchers and practitioners using privacy-preserving and anonymized mobility data. This study reflects the processes in analyzing and communicating human mobility data, as well as how these data were used in response planning and how the data were intended for use in policy making. The study reveals several valuable use cases. Ultimately, the role of a data translator was crucial in understanding the complexities of this novel data source. With this role, teams were able to adapt workflows, visualizations, and reports to align with end users and decision makers while communicating this information meaningfully to address the goals of responders and policy makers.
Novel Approach to Personalized Physician Recommendations Using Semantic Features and Response Metrics: Model Evaluation Study
Authors: Zheng Yingbin , Cai Yunping , Yan Yiwei , Chen Sai , Gong Kai
Published: June 2024

Background

The rapid growth of web-based medical services has highlighted the significance of smart triage systems in helping patients find the most appropriate physicians. However, traditional triage methods often rely on department recommendations and are insufficient to accurately match patients’ textual questions with physicians’ specialties. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop algorithms for recommending physicians.

Objective

This study aims to develop and validate a patient-physician hybrid recommendation (PPHR) model with response metrics for better triage performance.

Methods

A total of 646,383 web-based medical consultation records from the Internet Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were collected. Semantic features representing patients and physicians were developed to identify the set of most similar questions and semantically expand the pool of recommended physician candidates, respectively. The physicians’ response rate feature was designed to improve candidate rankings. These 3 characteristics combine to create the PPHR model. Overall, 5 physicians participated in the evaluation of the efficiency of the PPHR model through multiple metrics and questionnaires as well as the performance of Sentence Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers and Doc2Vec in text embedding.

Results

The PPHR model reaches the best recommendation performance when the number of recommended physicians is 14. At this point, the model has an F1-score of 76.25%, a proportion of high-quality services of 41.05%, and a rating of 3.90. After removing physicians’ characteristics and response rates from the PPHR model, the F1-score decreased by 12.05%, the proportion of high-quality services fell by 10.87%, the average hit ratio dropped by 1.06%, and the rating declined by 11.43%. According to whether those 5 physicians were recommended by the PPHR model, Sentence Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers achieved an average hit ratio of 88.6%, while Doc2Vec achieved an average hit ratio of 53.4%.

Conclusions

The PPHR model uses semantic features and response metrics to enable patients to accurately find the physician who best suits their needs.
Ecological Momentary Assessment of Self-Harm Thoughts and Behaviors: Systematic Review of Constructs From the Integrated Motivational-Volitional Model (Preprint)
Authors: Winstone Lizzy , Heron Jon , John Ann , Kirtley Olivia J , Moran Paul , Muehlenkamp Jennifer , O'Connor Rory C , Mars Becky

BACKGROUND

The integrated motivational-volitional model (IMV) is one of the leading theoretical models of suicidal thoughts and behavior. There has been a recent proliferation in the assessment of suicidal and nonsuicidal self-harm thoughts and behaviors (SHTBs) in daily life.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review synthesized evidence from ecological momentary assessment (EMA) studies in the SHTB literature to address the following questions: (1) Which constructs in the IMV model have been assessed using EMA, and how have they been assessed? (2) Do different constructs from the IMV model fluctuate in daily life? (3) What is the relationship between the different IMV constructs and SHTBs in daily life?

METHODS

Consistent with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we conducted systematic searches of 5 databases—Web of Science, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Europe PMC Preprints—from inception to March 26, 2024.

RESULTS

Our searches resulted in the inclusion and narrative synthesis of 53 studies across 58 papers. A total of 15 IMV constructs were measured using EMA across the included papers. The most frequently measured constructs were thwarted belongingness (24/58, 41% of the papers), future thinking (20/58, 34% of the papers), and perceived burdensomeness (16/58, 28% of the papers). The least frequently measured constructs were humiliation, social problem-solving, mental imagery, and perceived capability for suicide. None of the included papers measured memory biases, goals, norms, or resilience using EMA. Comparison of intraclass correlation coefficients (45/58, 78% of the papers) revealed moderate but inconsistent within-person variance across all the examined constructs. We found evidence (39/58, 67% of the papers) of concurrent associations between almost all constructs and SHTBs in daily life, with some evidence that entrapment, shame, rumination, thwarted belongingness, hopelessness, social support, and impulsivity are additionally associated with SHTBs in lagged (ie, longitudinal) relationships.

CONCLUSIONS

Comparisons were hindered by variation in methodology, including the populations studied, EMA sampling scheme, operationalization of IMV constructs and SHTBs, and statistical approach used. Our findings suggest that EMA studies are a useful methodology for examining risk factors for SHTBs; however, more research is needed for some IMV constructs. Quality assessment suggested several areas for improvement in the reporting of EMA studies in this field.
