Published: February 2022

The author reviews the collective work Military Sciences versus the Science of War in Austria and in Russia (2021). The reviewed book considers methodological and ideological problems of modern war and its aspects. The author draws attention to several topics, which are important for understanding modern war. The reviewed work is analyzed from the point of view of its contribution to the development of the philosophy of war. The author focuses on the peculiarities of classical researches on war, pays attention to the conceptual and categorical apparatus, conducts a comparative analysis of thoughts and judgments of Russian and Austrian scholars, shows their conceptual vision of everything related to the war. The article considers the approach to the modern science of war. The possibility of its exclusion from the historical process is analyzed. The main factor preventing the elimination of war is a strong social inertia. Analyzing concepts and categories of the philosophy of war, the collective work discussing the art of war, strategy, and the meaning of war. Strategy, even being divided into military and political one, is a part of the art of war. The review’s author considers the views on philosophical foundations of war of Russian and Austrian scholars, who are in search for moral basis for countering this social and political phenomenon. It is noted that analyzing the views on the nature of war of scientists in Austria and Russia, the political ambitions of their nations should be taken into account. The monograph emphasizes that an effective opposition to militarism should be based on an analysis of its nature and the real historical situation.
Hybrid Warfare: Politico-Military Pankration of the 21st Century
Authors: Soloviev Alexey V.
Published: February 2022

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of interstate confrontation known as “hybrid war.” It attempts to consider this phenomenon in relation to pankration, the ancient Greek martial art with minimum limitations. The paper defines the philosophical and historical preconditions for hybrid war, its epistemological and ideological aspects. The author assesses the statement declaring Russia guilty of waging this type of war. Analysis of relevant sources allows us to answer the question of the theoretical prerequisites for the formation of the concept of hybrid wars and to name the authors who first expressed ideas of the transformation of war into a new type of military confrontation. An attempt is made to perform a comparative analysis of various interpretations of the concept of “hybrid war.” The place of this concept among others that are related to the so-called “new wars” is considered. The author questions a negative connotation to the concept of hybrid war and the legitimacy of attempts by Western countries to attribute the conduct of this type of military action exclusively to Russia. A number of countries attempt to use Russia as a “scapegoat,” and this complex has been described by the French philosopher R. Girard. A broader interpretation of this mechanism leads to sacralization of collective aggression, but not in relation to an individual but in relation to a participant in international relations. Comprehension of the essential features of hybrid war, of its tendencies towards eliminating restrictions and regulating forms and methods of achieving military and political goals makes it possible to identify the possibilities of resisting aggressive aspirations of some countries trying to impose their scenarios for resolving international contradictions on other states.
Guilt – Forgiveness – Reconciliation – and Recognition in Armed Conflict
Authors: Koch Bernard
Published: February 2022

The paper argues that in our usage of moral language we relate three concepts: guilt, forgiveness, and reconciliation. This assumes that we can distinguish between external actions and internal executions, because guilt as well as forgiveness and reconciliation are realities that first affect our inner humanity. When a relationship has been damaged by culpable actions (sometimes even by both sides), forgiveness is the precondition of reconciliation. As long as people accuse each other, there can be no talk of true reconciliation. Although these are attitudes, that is, inner engagements, reconciliation also becomes outwardly recognizable as peace. However, these relationships can only be explained well in the connections of individual persons to each other. When political communities confront each other, our moral sense becomes fuzzy, because it is not so easy to say how such collectives (e.g., peoples) are to be determined in their inside and outside. Who can and may forgive, if other persons have become victims of culpable actions, but cannot forgive themselves? Here, then, the difficulty of individuality and collectivity is added. The essay pleads for maintaining the conceptual conjunction between individual and collective forgiveness. However, this should not be done at the price of a complete socio-ontological dissolution of collectives. Therefore, one must also be cautious about rash universalistic appropriation of the Other or the other group, because this is usually accompanied by a failure to recognize and endure the selfhood of the Other. Before it comes to a “false” reconciliation in this way, it is better to at least recognize each other – also in diversity. This should also be reflected in the rules of conflict, which must above all be oriented toward ensuring that conflicts are not carried out in such a way that the manner in which the conflict is carried out makes reconciliation impossible. But in both collective and individual reconciliation, the person does not have the outcome of the process entirely in his or her own hands. Reconciliation is not a technique, but a relational event that is carried out in an “open space.”
LA MIGRACIÓN DEL ‘MENA’ MARROQUÍ VISTA DESDE DENTRO.
Authors: Herrera Pastor David
Published: February 2022

Hakim era un adolescente marroquí que se dio cuenta de que no quería la vida de pobreza y determinismo  que estaba predestinado a tener. Decidió migrar de manera irregular, solo y cometiendo delitos, para  btener una vida mejor. Lo interesante de su caso es que lo consiguió de un modo extraordinario y desde hace años  vive en España de manera regularizada y desempeñando una labor social importante. En este artículo se va  a  hacer un recorrido por su proceso migratorio para comprender desde dentro el camino que hacen los  MENA (Menores Extranjeros No Acompañados) marroquíes y entender los motivos que les llevan a iniciar esa andadura, a pesar de todos los riesgos y dificultades que conlleva. La investigación se llevó a cabo utilizando  la metodología biográfica. Su historia de vida se armó, fundamentalmente, a partir de los testimonios del  protagonista y de numerosos personajes clave (entre otros: la jueza, su tutor en el centro de internamiento y  su madre de acogida), así como de cuantiosos registros documentales e iconográficos. El análisis de los  diversos factores que se conjugaron proporciona un conocimiento exhaustivo de esa realidad, permite  plantear una serie de recomendaciones políticas en pos de la mejora de la situación y contribuye a hacer pedagogía social al respecto, desde una contra-narrativa que los humaniza, para luchar contra los prejuicios  que sufren en los países receptores. Además, se muestra cómo cuando se les da una oportunidad, su historia la pueden escribir de otra manera.

EVALUATION OF SATISFACTION LEVEL OF HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS AT THE CITY TRAINING AND RESEARCH HOSPITAL LOCATED IN THE SOUTH OF TURKEY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: KAYSERİLİ Aydan
Published: February 2022

Purpose: Measuring the level of patient satisfaction is a key consideration for hospitals to improve their health care services as well as patient care. The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the satisfaction levels of hospitalized patients with regard to health care services they received as well as physical conditions of hospital and investigate the socio-demographic variables in relate to the satisfaction level at the City Training and Research hospital located in the South of Turkey during Covid-19 pandemic.

Research Methodology: It was designed as descriptive method. This research study was conducted with 150 randomly selected patients thru face to face by using a standard patient satisfaction questionnaire. Research was conducted between March 13-23, 2021 when the Covid-19 pandemic was the most intense. For the statistical analysis, SPSS 21 package was used.

Findings: About 40% of inpatients reported a decrease in number of admissions to the hospital due to Covid- 19 pandemic. Forty- percent of the respondents reported not using any mobile applications while 40% indicated using Life Fits Home. About 85% used Alo 182 for physician appointment. Overall, the level of patient satisfaction was found to be 4.33 out of 5- point scale. Patients rated health care services provided by the hospital at 4.35 and hospital physical conditions at 4.30. It was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the age, education and number of admissions to hospital and the perception of patients about satisfaction receiving treatment in the City Hospital.

Conclusion, Discussion and Recommendations: Mostly, our findings were consistent with the findings of other studies. In our study hospitalized patients reported “satisfaction” with health care services and physical conditions of the hospital, consistent with other studies conducted in City Hospitals. According to the study that was conducted by Talmac and Soysal (2021) in the same hospital, patients reported higher satisfaction compared to our findings. This discrepancy occurred due to the difference in the type of scaling questions. There is a need for a universal patient satisfaction scale that can be used in patient satisfaction studies to use for a comparison purpose.
INTERVENSI TURKI DALAM KRISIS SURIAH (2011-2014)
Authors: Luerdi Luerdi
Published: February 2022

"Luerdi, L. (2016). Intervensi Turki Dalam Krisis Suriah (2011-2014). International Society, 3(2), 33–50." --- This research aims to explain Turkey’s intervention in Syrian crisis due to the perception of threat toward its security or domestic stability. Syrian crisis has directed threat indirectly to Turkey related to the existence of Kurd rebel group Kurdistan Workers Party or PKK’s activity in Syria. Syria makes the PKK affiliated to Syrian Kurd group Democratic Union Party or PYD an important actor particularly in northern area of the state during the crisis. Amid the instability caused by armed conflict in Syria, Turkey believes both political and military force of the PKK-PYD’s can injure its security or domestic stability now that the PKK still demands either territorial secession or autonomy for Kurd’s southeastern area. The research applies the worldview of international relations realism to describe Turkey’s behavior as a state with its power in responding to its surrounding. To strengthen the approach used, the research applies intervention theory which is able to explain the relation of Turkey’s intervention to the threat toward its security or domestic stability which it perceives as a vital national interest. Indeed, the result of the research shows a finding that such perception of threat encourages Turkey to commit intervention in Syrian crisis. Turkey’s intervention aims to remove the leadership of Syrian current regime with that of Syrian opposition group in which it trusts to be capable of creating stability, controlling and restricting the political and military movement of Kurd groups in Syria.

Optimizing Matrix Multiplication On NERSC’s High Performance Computer Cori
Authors: Jiang Xuan , Lin William , Nagda Ansh
Published: February 2022

We use a variety of techniques to optimize the single-threaded operation of:C = C + A * BA number of optimizations techniques yielded significant speedups, including multi-level blocking, copy optimizations, and loop adjustments. However, we also tried a number of other optimizations that did not improve our program, including prefetching. In this report, we describe each of our optimizations in our final submission, present results with evidence that they work, and describe attempted optimizations that did not noticeably improve overall our performance. Unless otherwise noted, all of our benchmarks operate on matrices of size 1024x1024.In our attempts at optimizing matrix multiplication, we find that taking full advantage of spatial locality (through techniques like loop rearrangement or copy optimizations) and instruction-level parallelism greatly improves the performance of our operation. Furthermore, techniques like prefetching can be a double-edged sword; it can help performance when used correctly but can slow down performance as well. Finally, we find that the compiler adds optimizations out-of-the-box, like loop-unrolling, that help with performance underneath.
Reducing and Deducing the Structures of Consciousness Through Meditation
Authors: Katyal Sucharit
Published: February 2022

According to many first-person accounts, consciousness comprises a subject-object structure involving a mental action or attitude starting from the “subjective pole” upon an object of experience. In recent years, many paradigms have been developed to manipulate and empirically investigate the object of consciousness. However, well-controlled investigation of subjective aspects of consciousness has been more challenging. One-way, subjective aspects of consciousness are proposed to be studied is using meditation states that alter its subject-object structure. Most work to study consciousness in this way has been done using Buddhist meditation traditions and techniques. There is another meditation tradition that has been around for at least as long as early Buddhist traditions (if not longer) with the central goal of developing a fine-grained first-person understanding of consciousness and its constituents by its manipulation through meditation, namely the Tantric tradition of Yoga. However, due to the heavy reliance of Yogic traditions on the ancient Indian Samkhya philosophical system, their insights about consciousness have been more challenging to translate into contemporary research. Where such translation has been attempted, they have lacked accompanying phenomenological description of the procedures undertaken for making the precise subject-object manipulations as postulated.In this paper, I address these issues by first detailing how Tantric Yoga philosophy can be effectively translated as a systematic phenomenological account of consciousness spanning the entirety of the subject-object space divided into four “structures of consciousness” from subject to object. This follows from the work of the 20th century polymath and founder of the Tantric Yoga school of Ananda Marga, Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, who expounded on the “cognitivisation” of Samkhya philosophy. I then detail stepwise meditation procedures that make theoretical knowledge of these structures of consciousness a practical reality to a Tantric Yoga meditator in the first-person. This is achieved by entering meditative states through stepwise experiential reduction of the structures of consciousness from object to subject, as part of their meditative goal of “self-realisation.” I end by briefly discussing the overlap of these putative meditation states with proposed states from other meditation traditions, and how these states could help advance an empirical study of consciousness.
Mental Health Insights from Individual Physiologic and Lifestyle Continuous Sensing
Authors: Nag Nitish , Sultan Tabya , Lin Maximillian , Richardson Alex
Published: February 2022

Mental wellness provides an essential foundation for healthy living. Traditionally, mental health is primarily measured subjectively and understood as a categorical disease based on certain criteria. Recent shifts in psychological sciences call for assessing mental health more objectively along a quantifiable spectrum. This paradigm allows for closer to real-time understanding of mental status. Modern ubiquitous sensing technologies that capture objective data streams provide an opportunity to track mental health related parameters continuously and quantitatively. This allows understanding mental health more deeply through encompassing holistic lifestyle aspects that have been previously challenging to measure due to Hawthorn effect, user burden, and subjective assessment limitations. This work focuses on two concepts. First, we emphasize the various semantic concepts of mental health on fluid quantitative continuum and how this can be translated to a computing framework. Second, we utilize non-invasive continuous personal quantitative data streams to assess markers of mental health state along various parameters. We define the mental health state insight framework to 1) compute parameters related to the current mental health state and 2) determine if a user's life events and physiologic factors are helping or harming their mental health state. We conduct a pilot study with retrospective in-situ data tracking to illustrate the utility of our analysis framework. We conclude by proposing how this information can inform users and healthcare providers to make better-informed decisions to improve the mental health care journey.

Published: February 2022

The underlying vulnerability for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders is expressed across a continuum of clinical and subclinical symptoms and impairment referred to as schizotypy. Schizotypy is a multidimensional construct with positive, negative, and disorganized dimensions. Models of pathological personality provide useful frameworks for assessing the multidimensional structure of schizotypy. The present study examined the association of positive, negative, and disorganized schizotypy with pathological personality traits and facets assessed by the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) in 1,342 young adults. As hypothesized, positive schizotypy was largely associated with the PID-5 psychoticism domain and facets, negative schizotypy was primarily associated with the detachment domain and facets and the restricted affectivity facet, and disorganized schizotypy’s strongest associations were with the distractibility and eccentricity facets and the negative affect domain. Negative schizotypy was differentiated from the other two schizotypy dimensions in its pattern of correlations with the PID-5 domains and facets. As expected, positive and disorganized schizotypy exhibited a moderate degree of similarity in their associations. Overall, the PID-5 domains accounted for approximately half of the variance in each of the schizotypy dimensions, and the PID-5 facets accounted for upwards of 2/3rds of the variance in each schizotypy dimension. The associations among the schizotypy and PID-5 measures did not appear to reflect highly redundant items across the measures. We conclude by providing regression-based algorithms for computing positive, negative, and disorganized schizotypy scores based on the PID-5 facets.
The Effects of Positive Emotion Induced by the Autobiographical Emotional Memory Task Before Encoding on False Memory Formation in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) Paradigm
Authors: Ayyıldız Mervenur
Published: February 2022

The relationship between emotions and false memories have been studied for many years. In particular, the importance of emotions in encoding has been revealed. In this study, the effects of positive emotion on false memory are investigated by inducing emotion before the learning task. 100 people between the ages of 18-50 without any psychological disorders were selected. Emotion induction was performed by Autobiographical Emotional Memory Task (AEMT) and happy emotion was induced by asking participants to write a happy memory. Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm was used to examine the effect of positive emotion on false memory formation in neutral content. Participants watched a slide show including 3 neutral word lists of the DRM paradigm. Then, they were given a recognition test including the critical lures, control words, and the words in the slide show. It is observed that people in the neutral mood group made more mistakes in the recognition test than the happy mood group. This result may suggest that the effect of emotion on false memory might be more about the level of arousal, rather than the valence.
The Relationship between Perceived Stress, Sleep Quality and the Everyday Memory of the Senior Middle School, High School and College Students in Turkey
Authors: Ayyıldız Mervenur , Kalafat Şeymanur
Published: February 2022

This study examines the relationship between perceived stress, sleep quality and memory of the senior middle school, high school and college students in Turkey. It is important to examine the interaction between these three variables because each variable has a significant role in human life. To our knowledge, there is no study examining the effects of these three variables’ relationship on students. In this study, we asked participants their socio demographic information. To test our variables, we used the Sleep Quality Scale (Shahid et al., 2011), The Everyday Memory Questionnaire (Royle & Lincoln, 2008), and the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1994). Data was collected from the 8th grade, 12th grade, and senior college students via an online platform. We mainly aimed to observe interrelations between perceived stress, sleep quality, and memory interruptions. The positive correlation between perceived stress and memory problems demonstrates that people with high levels of perceived stress also have high levels of memory problems. Sleep problems and memory problems are positively correlated, which means that students with sleep problems also have memory problems. We also found that perceived stress and sleep problems are positively correlated, which means that students who have high levels of perceived stress also have difficulties in sleep. However, our results showed no difference between the student groups’ stress level, sleep quality, and memory problems. This research provides a new sample to the literature about the studies that integrate the relationship between perceived stress, sleep quality, and memory.

Psychiatric disorders are common, and reliable measures are crucial for research and clinical practice. A cross-diagnostic construct that can be used to index treatment outcomes as well as prevalence of psychological ill health is psychological flexibility. The aim of this study was to validate a Swedish version of the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI). The MPFI has 12 subscales, six of which measure flexibility, and six that measure inflexibility. Using confirmatory factor analysis in a community sample of 670 participants, we found that a model with 12 factors had the best fit to the data. All 12 subscales showed adequate reliability and the factor structure was similar across age groups and gender. Findings suggest that the Swedish version of the MPFI is a reliable instrument that can be used to index psychological flexibility.
Processing fluency for visual synchrony perception
Authors: Bamford Joshua Silberstein
Published: February 2022

Synchrony is an important aspect of social behaviour. Prior research has observed a synchrony-bonding effect, suggesting that synchronised action may be an efficient way of creating and maintaining social affiliation. However, most of the theories attempting to explain this synchrony-bonding effect rely upon higher-order social cognition. Relatively little attention has been given to the perceptual experience of synchrony, and the low-level perceptual mechanisms involved. One possible mechanism that could explain some of the effects of synchrony is that of processing fluency. In two pre-registered experiments, we test the novel hypothesis that synchrony (congruent movement) is easier to process than non-synchrony. We find an effect of speed congruency, but not direction congruency, on performance in a Flanker task with animated Gabor patches. The stimuli presented here are continuous vectors, best understood as derivatives of the periodic movement seen in naturalistic stimuli. As such, incongruent speed is most likely to be experienced while perceiving non-synchronised periodic movement, suggesting a greater processing load during the perception of that movement. Crucially, the effect observed here does not rely upon social stimuli, and may operate at an early stage of perceptual processing. This is an initial step in establishing a novel theory of the synchrony-bonding effect, based upon the principles of processing fluency.
Evaluation of Goodness-of-Fit Test in Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model: Implications for Small Samples
Authors: Zheng Bang Quan
Published: February 2022

The development of the random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) is an extension of the traditional cross-lagged panel model (CLPM), which aims to study between and within person variances in longitudinal data. Despite its growing popularity in behavioral and social sciences, our understanding of goodness-of-fit tests of RI-CLPMs is limited. Using Monte Carlo simulations across different sample sizes and model complexity, this study evaluates goodness-of-fit tests applied to RI-CLPMs by comparing the test statistics of the maximum likelihood (ML), generalized least squares (GLS), and reweighted least squares (RLS), as well as their corresponding NFI, CFI, and RMSEA. Our results showed that when N was significantly large; ML, GLS, and RLS tended to have similar performances. When N was small relative to the model complexity, RLS outperformed ML and GLS and produced consistent chi-square test statistics and fit indices. These results have implications for fitting RI-CLPM with finite data.
Anthropomorphism of God Elicits Beliefs in Tempting Fate, Explained by Beliefs in Supernatural Control and Moderated by Temporal Contiguity
Authors: chia richelle-joy , Lee Albert
Published: February 2022

Why are people reluctant to tempt fate, such as boasting about their perfect health? Eight studies (3 pre-registered) and a meta-analysis unpacked the general effects, mediational, and moderational processes underlying beliefs in tempting fate. With anthropomorphism of God and temporal contiguity (i.e., the extent to which two events are perceived as temporally close to each other) as conceptual frameworks, we found that the tendency to imbue God with a human-like mind is positively correlated with beliefs in tempting fate (Studies 1a-c). Participants believed in tempting fate more strongly when they had been induced to represent God in high (vs. low) anthropomorphic terms, manipulated by selective exposure to God-related information (Study 2) or a writing task (Studies 3-6). We ruled out various alternative accounts, including negativity bias (Studies 1c, 4, 6) and intrinsic religiosity (Studies 1a-c, 5). Beliefs in supernatural control mediated the link between anthropomorphism of God and beliefs in tempting fate (Studies 1c). Finally, zooming into the moderating role of temporal contiguity, anthropomorphism of God invokes beliefs in tempting fate when a fate-tempting behavior (e.g., bragging about one’s driving skills) and the corresponding outcome (e.g., getting into a car accident) were perceived as close together in time, but not when they were temporally far apart (Study 6). Together, these findings highlight the causal links between anthropomorphism of God and beliefs in tempting fate, mediated by beliefs in supernatural control, moderated by temporal contiguity. The present findings have theoretical implications for a host of religious and superstitious thinking across cultures.
Spatiotemporal dynamics of EEG microstates in four- to eight-year-old children: Age- and sex-related effects
Authors: Bagdasarov Armen , Roberts Kenneth , Bréchet Lucie , Brunet Denis , Michel Christoph , Gaffrey Michael
Published: February 2022

The ultrafast spatiotemporal dynamics of large-scale neural networks can be examined using resting-state EEG microstates, representing transient periods of synchronized neural activity that evolve dynamically over time. In adults, four canonical microstates have been shown to explain most topographic variance in resting-state electroencephalography (EEG). Their temporal structures are age-, sex- and state-dependent, and are susceptible to pathological brain states. However, no studies have assessed the spatial and temporal properties of EEG microstates exclusively during early childhood, a critical period of rapid brain development. Here we sought to investigate EEG microstates recorded with high-density EEG in a large sample of 103, 4-8-year-old children. Using data-driven k-means cluster analysis, we show that the four canonical microstates reported in adult populations already exist in early childhood. Using multiple linear regressions, we demonstrate that the temporal dynamics of two microstates are associated with age and sex. Source localization suggests that attention- and cognitive control-related networks govern the topographies of the age- and sex-dependent microstates. These novel findings provide unique insights into functional brain development in children captured with EEG microstates.
Antideference: COVID, Climate, and the Rise of the Major Questions Canon
Authors: Richardson Nathan
Published: February 2022

Skepticism on the Supreme Court toward administrative authority has evolved into open hostility over the course of the past year, in two cases regarding agency actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The vehicle was not, as widely expected, rejection of Chevron’s deference rule or a reanimation of the nondelegation doctrine. It was, instead, formal elevation of the “major questions doctrine” into a substantive canon of construction. This new canon significantly curtails not only executive power (via agencies) but Congress’ legislative authority—and, ultimately, democratic control of policy. It adds a new veto point to the American political system, licensing judges to reject any delegation of power they deem economically or politically significant, with little regard for statutory text. The only remedy is a super-clear statement in legislation, similarly subject to judicial discretion. For such major cases, the Court has shifted from a deference rule to an antideference rule, actively antagonistic to delegated power. By its architects’ own admission, this canon is little more than the nondelegation doctrine in disguise. It threatens to cripple the administrative state, particularly in emergencies and in areas of evolving science, such as pandemics and climate change.

Published: February 2022

Estruturar, analisar e disponibilizar dados estatísticos constitui-se num pré-requisito para uma gestão baseada em evidências técnicas e científicas de destinos turísticos. Nesta perspectiva, a Rede Brasileira de Observatórios de Turismo (RBOT), rede que reúne atualmente 58 observatórios de turismo em todo território nacional, tem desempenhado um papel importante no fomento à utilização de pesquisas e dados estatísticos para a orientação do planejamento e do desenvolvimento sustentável do turismo no Brasil. O presente estudo técnico tem como objetivo a realização do levantamento de informações sobre a composição, a estrutura e a dinâmica das pesquisas realizadas pelos observatórios membros da RBOT. Para tal, realizou-se uma pesquisa survey, aplicada em 2021, com 45 representantes dos observatórios de turismo. Os resultados indicaram que a maioria dos respondentes reconhecem a importância da RBOT no crescimento e consolidação dos observatórios. Em relação a parte operacional, o destaque positivo foi a constatação da presença dos turismólogos em quase todos os observatórios. Entre as preocupações estão a dificuldade orçamentária para a execução das pesquisas e a limitação de equipe dos observatórios. Conclui-se que apesar do avanço nos últimos anos, os observatórios ainda têm muitos desafios no processo de consolidação no monitoramento do crescimento e desenvolvimento do turismo sustentável no Brasil.
Moroccan Women as a Visual Subject in Sociology of Cinema: A Critical Endeavor to Establish knowledge beyond Aesthetic Criticism
Authors: Andaloussi Hamza
Published: February 2022

Through this study, we aim to examine what the research bibliography provides on the subject of the portrayal of women and gender issues in films. We will critically analyze the available studies so that we could probe into the limits of what has been written on the subject so far. In fact, our critical reviews have led us to infer that the field of film studies in the Arab world in general and Morocco in particular are still experiencing a scarcity at the quantitative level. Actually, there are very few researchers in sociology who are interested in the field of cinema and visual culture, and their complex phenomena, in which the aspirations of directors and the aesthetics of their works meet the expectations and reactions of the audience. Furthermore, we will try in this study to show the realistic motives that require directing the research compass towards giving more importance to cinema issues. We will also try to prove the scientific effectiveness of "cinema sociology" as a study that can go beyond the value judgments that normally occur in the writings of art criticism about women’s cinema, and which can also overcome the deficiency that characterizes semiological approaches which confine themselves to analyzing the internal content of films only.

The Big History of Humanity: A Macrohistory, Macrosociology and Metahistory of Humankind
Authors: Forrester Rochelle
Published: February 2022

It is proposed that the ultimate cause of much historical, social and cultural change is the gradual accumulation of human knowledge of the environment. Human beings use the materials in their environment to meet their needs and increased human knowledge of the environment enables human needs to be met in a more efficient manner. Human needs direct human research into particular areas and this provides a direction for historical, social and cultural development. The human environment has a particular structure and human beings have a particular place in it so that human knowledge of the environment is acquired in a particular order. The simplest knowledge, or the knowledge closest to us, is acquired first and more complex knowledge, or knowledge further from us is acquired later. The order of discovery determines the course of human social and cultural history as knowledge of new and more efficient means of meeting human needs results in new technology, which results in the development of new social and ideological systems. This means human history, or a major part of human history, had to follow a particular course, a course that is determined by the structure of the human environment. An examination of the structure of the human environment will reveal the particular order in which our discoveries had to be made. Given that a certain level of knowledge will result in a particular type of society, it is possible to ascertain the types of societies that were inevitable in human history. While it is not possible to make predictions about the future course of human history, it is possible to explain and understand why human history has followed a particular path and why it had to follow that particular path.

Introduction: Eating-out is common in almost all countries, including Malaysia, but this frequent practice may affect human health. In Malaysia, data on eating-out is limited. This study aimed to assess the proportion of eating-out, to assess the association between socio-demographic factors and eating patterns, and to compare energy and nutrient intakes between people eating-out and eating-in. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 adults aged 30 to 70 years old. Three-day food diaries were used to collect data on dietary intake. Eating-out was defined as eating foods prepared outside the home. Respondents who ate outside for at least one meal per day, for two or three days per week were considered as those who frequently practised eating-out. Results: A total of 84% of respondents who ate out had significantly higher sodium intake than those who ate at home (2934 mg/day vs. 2165 mg/day, p=0.025). Foods and drinks that were most commonly consumed outside were nasi lemak, roti canai, rice, ayam masak kicap, vegetable soup, tomyam, rice vermicelli soup (mee-hoon soup), hot teh-o, iced tea, and orange juice. Occupation (p=0.004) and location type (p=0.001) were associated with eatingout. Government and semi-government workers (61%) and urban population (57%) had higher percentage of eating-out compared to eating at home (19% and 12%, respectively). Conclusion: More than two-thirds of our respondents ate out and this habit was related to poor diet quality with excessive intake of sodium. Interventions are needed to improve the diet quality of the overall eating-out behaviour among targeted population.
A Multidisciplinary Study of Faculty Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Predatory Publishing
Authors: Webber Nicole , Wiegand Stephanie
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Not enough is known about what faculty understand about predatory journals, how they learn about them, and how they feel about them, which has led to insufficient education and guidance on the phenomenon. Method: A survey was sent to all publishing faculty at a mid-sized doctorate-granting university, and it received 109 responses. The survey covered faculty professional history, departmental culture and environment, criteria for journal selection, and knowledge of and experiences with predatory journals. Results: Almost all faculty had at least heard of predatory publishing and believed it to be a problem. Faculty reported that, most of the time, they learned about it through colleagues and/or the literature in their field. Yet faculty expressed uncertainty about the impact that predatory journals have on their field and expressed hesitance in penalizing colleagues for publishing in them. Discussion: Faculty understanding of fraudulent journals—and of predatory publishing overall—may be too basic for efficient application in complex situations such as exploring new publication opportunities and evaluating scholarship. This leads to incongruencies between faculty values and the courses of action they pursue. Conclusion: It is important to form a fuller picture of faculty relationships with journal publication in order to respond appropriately to their needs. The results from this study inform how academic libraries might work with colleges and other entities on campus to provide early and ongoing professional development.

Pesan merupakan Sesuatu yang disampaikan dari pengirim ke penerima. Pesan dapat berupa teks, audio, video maupun gambar. Proses penyampaian pesan teks pada smartphone android belum dilengkapi keamanan yang memadai. Sehingga pesan yang telah dikirim ataupun telah diterima dapat dilihat oleh orang lain. Kerahasiaan pesan yang telah dikirim dan diterima menjadi tidak terjamin. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penulis ingin membangun sebuah aplikasi kriptografi yang dapat digunakan dalam keamanan pada saat proses pengiriman dan penerimaan pesan. Aplikasi kriptografi yang dibangun penulis dapat melakukan enkripsi dan deskripsi pesan yang akan di kirim atau yang telah diterima dengan menggunakan metode Triple DES berbasis mobile. Sedangkan metode pengembangan aplikasi yang digunakan adalah metode waterfall, terdiri dari analisis, desain, coding, testing dan implementasi. Dengan adanya aplikasi ini, diharapkan akan memberikan keamanan pada pengguna smartphone android dalam melakukan pengiriman maupun penerimaan pesan.
