The postdictive effect of choice reflects the modulation of attention on choice
Authors: shen mowed , Zhou Yiling , Chen Luo , Zhou Jifan , CHEN HUI
Published: March 2020

Our conscious perception of the world is not an instantaneous, moment-by-moment construction. Rather, our perception of an event is influenced, over time, by information gained following the event: this is known as a postdictive effect. A recent study reported that this postdictive effect could occur even in choice. The present study sought to test whether the striking postdictive effect of choice reflects the modulation of attention on choice, by directly and systematically manipulating attention in two experiments. Specifically, Experiment 1 revealed that the robust postdictive effect of choice was almost completely eliminated when attentional bias was removed. More importantly, Experiment 2 demonstrated that the postdictive effect of choice could be modulated by directly manipulating participants’ attention with a spatial cue, in particular, when the cue appeared at short time delays. These results suggest that choice could be considerably postdictively influenced by attention and this effect was most pronounced within a short time window wherein decision-making was most likely in progress. The current study not only enables clarification of the mechanism of the newly discovered postdictive effect of choice, but also extends evidence of the modulation of attention on decision-making.
The montreal protocol for identification of amusia

Published: March 2020

The Montreal Battery for the Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA; Peretz, Champod, & Hyde, 2003) is an empirically-grounded quantitative tool that is widely used to identify individuals with congenital amusia. The use of such a standardized measure ensures that individuals tested conform to a specific neuropsychological profile, allowing for comparisons across studies and research groups. Recently, a number of researchers have published credible critiques of the usefulness of the MBEA as a diagnostic tool for amusia. Here we argue that the MBEA and its online counterpart, the AMUSIA tests (Peretz et al., 2008), should be considered steps in a screening process for amusia, rather than standalone diagnostic tools. The goal of this article is to present, in detailed and easily replicable format, the full protocol with which congenital amusics should be identified. In providing information that often goes unreported in published articles, we aim to clarify the strengths and limitations of the MBEA, and make recommendations for its continued use by the research community as part of the Montreal Protocol for Identification of Amusia (MPIA).

A growing number of self-report measures aim to quantify interactions with social media in a pathological behaviour framework; often using terminology focused on identifying those who are ‘addicted’ to engaging with others online. The measures of social media addiction report focus on motivations for online social information seeking, many of which could be motivations for offline social information seeking. It could be the case that these measures could reveal a pattern of friend addiction in general. The current study develops the Offline-Friend Addiction Questionnaire (O-FAQ) by re-wording items from highly cited pathological social use scales to reflect “spending time with friends” instead of “using Facebook”. Our methodology for validation follows literature precedent in social networking site addiction scales. The O-FAQ had a three-factor solution in an exploratory sample of N=807 and these factors were stable in a four-week retest (r=.72 to .86). The measure was validated against Big Five traits, and risk-taking behaviour, in conceptually plausible directions. Using the same ‘polythetic classification techniques’ as pathological social media use studies, we were able to classify 69% of our sample as addicted to spending time with their friends. The discussion of our satirical research is a critical reflection on the role of measurement and human sociality in social media research. Readers should approach our measure with the skepticism appropriate to the current social addiction measures. We question the extent to which connecting with others can be considered an ‘addiction’ and issues with the validation of new ‘addiction’ measures without relevant medical constructs.
Evaluating the anticipated policy impact of research outputs: introducing the SPEIDY framework
Authors: Saidi Nada
Published: March 2020

The Rural and Environment Science and Analytical Services (RESAS) division of the Scottish Government funds research expected to directly support the Government’s needs for science-based policy. However, the pathway from research to policy impact is rarely linear, with impact often resulting from the interrelationships of many factors. Attributing a change in policy to research activities is therefore not straightforward, especially if, like RESAS, one wants to evaluate impact in a short timeframe after a piece of research is completed. Therefore, this study aims to scope for an appropriate evaluation framework to assess the anticipated policy impact of research outputs generated by RESAS’ research providers. It intends to provide researchers with timely information on the expected contribution of their outputs to policymaking and the extent to which these contributions are likely to be realised: its main purposes are therefore learning and improvement. The framework was developed based on practices in Scottish Centres of Expertise and other organisations globally, as well as on current knowledge regarding the contribution of research to policy. Factors influencing the likelihood of research utilisation in policymaking were identified across the formulation, production and dissemination phases of research. The author is proposing a framework – termed Single-Product Evaluation for Immediate DeliverY (SPEIDY) – which assesses these factors in order to provide a picture of the likelihood of research use, and which allows to characterise this use along four categories: conceptual, instrumental, political and/or imposed. The evaluation relies on a survey collecting feedback from the policymaking team, which takes less than four minutes to complete and occurs at the time of final validation of the output. The framework, which contains both a conceptual part laying out impact-related factors and an analytical part detailing the feedback survey process, participates in current efforts to mainstream evidence-based evaluation practices. It addresses current barriers to impact evaluation in the RESAS’ research providers and its implementation could facilitate the uptake of best practices contributing to research impact.
The Diplomatic Burden of Pandemics: The Case of Malaria
Authors: Bagozzi Benjamin , Koren Ore
Published: March 2020

The social and economic burdens of pandemics are becoming increasingly well-known. This paper seeks to gain a better understanding of this phenomena by assessing one highly prevalent global pandemic: malaria. It does so by evaluating malaria's burden on the political ties of nation-states, and on international relations more generally. We posit that malaria dissuades foreign countries from locating their envoys in malaria-affected states. As a consequence, a protracted pandemic has the potential to undermine the political ties of nation-states, as well as the many benefits of these connections. This argument is tested empirically using both directed-dyadic and monadic data. We find that malaria not only serves to discourage foreign governments from establishing diplomatic outposts, but also decreases the total diplomatic missions that a country receives. These findings thus have important policy implications, especially for developing states that seek to increase their global political impact while simultaneously combating persistent pandemics.
Estimation of Fertility due to Contraception in Nepal
Authors: Devkota Bijaya Mani
Published: March 2020

Fertility has an important role for demographic transition and total fertility rate (TFR) which is one component measurements of fertility. Absences of complete and reliable data, a large number of indirect techniques have been developed to estimate demographic parameters. Some of these techniques are based on stable population theory and others are regression equations between the dependent variables, the TFR and the independent variables, the socio economic as well as demographic variables. The unwanted or unintended pregnancies can be avoided through the use of contraceptives; it becomes very important to estimate the births averted or pregnancies stopped by use of contraception. Though there is increase in the use of contraception, still many couples do not use contraception in spite of the fact that they require to use contraception. To satisfy this unmet need of contraception is one of the policy targets of national population policy for population stabilization. In this study, 12862 married females between 15-49 years of age, whose marital duration is more than 5 years, have been taken to study the distribution on different background characteristics and their behavior. Firstly, a regression study was done to know the impact on contraceptive use and further multivariate study has been carried out to know the effect of background characteristics and behavior on absence of birth five years jointly at different sub division. This method is based on the relationship between the Total fertility rate (TFR) and contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR).By using this modified estimate of TFR, birth averted for different area. The variables are CPR that about 71.4 percent variation in TFR can be explained by the first regression approach. The second is based on the relationship between total fertility rate (TFR) and Additive combination of CPR and proportion of currently married females having open birth interval (NPV) explained about 82percent of the variation in TFR. The findings revealed that the TFR calculated by the present method are quite close to the observed values of the TFR. Estimates of births averted and the percent change in births in the absence of contraception, based on the two methods are fairly consistent.
Battering Rams at the Bastille: Rewriting the Drama of the New in Gordon Bottomley’s Gruach
Authors: Morra Irene
Published: March 2020

When Gordon Bottomley’s verse play Gruach (1918) was first published and staged, it was met with unanimous critical praise. Like Bottomley’s earlier, equally praised King Lear’s Wife (1915), Gruach built upon its Shakespearean inspiration (in this case, Macbeth) to reimagine its central female protagonist. In its dramatization of a forceful heroine confined by social and aesthetic conventions and in its emphasis on female sexuality, expression, and agency, the play aligned itself with some of the central themes of the New Drama. It also distanced itself aesthetically from neo-Elizabethan verse drama and Victorian and Edwardian commercial approaches to the staging of Shakespeare. In Gruach, Bottomley engages critically and aesthetically with some of the central tensions that characterized definitions of the modern drama at the time. He does so, however, by insisting on a contemporary imperative to defy social realism and argumentation and to return “poetry” – through language, stage design, and narrative – to an audience starved of beauty and the representation of putatively timeless, essential truths. In Gruach, the last of his dramas for what he would later term a “theatre outworn,” Bottomley engages with his Shakespearean inspiration in such a way as both to articulate a distinct dramatic aesthetic and to address prominent contemporary themes. In so doing, he also provides a significant, overlooked manifestation of an alternative vision for the modern stage.

Menakar Sayap Politik Perempuan : Studi Garnita Malayahati Partai NasDem Yogyakarta
Authors: Arianto Bambang
Published: March 2020

This article will explain the political wing of the NasDem women's party namely Garnita Malahayati in Yogyakarta in the 2014 electoral contestation. Various affirmative action policies initiated by the government have not been able to be utilized properly by political parties either in the process of institutionalizing parties to create quality female politicians. Excess, political parties often have difficulty in building awareness of gender mainstreaming and gender-based political education. In fact, the women's political wing of the party has been designed to function to attract women's political participation. The reality is that political parties only make the political wing of women's parties a complement and symbol of politics. This study uses explanatory qualitative methods with data collection techniques by collecting data and related documents and through in-depth interviews. This article argues that there is a dysfunction in women's political wings, because Garnita Malahayati as a political wing of women has not been well institutionalized. The article also believes that the political wing of the party women has not played an active role in the process of candidacy, especially in encouraging the process of regenerating qualified female politiciansArtikel ini akan menjelaskan sayap politik perempuan partai NasDem yakni Garnita Malahayati Yogyakarta dalam kontestasi elektoral 2014. Berbagai kebijakan affirmative action yang digulirkan oleh pemerintah belum mampu dimanfaatkan dengan baik oleh partai politik baik dalam proses pelembagaan partai untuk menciptakan politisi perempuan yang berkualitas. Eksesnya, partai politik seringkali mengalami kesulitan dalam membangun kesadaran pengarusutamaan gender dan pendidikan politik yang berbasis gender. Padahal, sayap politik perempuan partai telah didesain untuk berfungsi menarik partisipasi politik kaum perempuan. Realitasnya partai politik hanya menjadikan sayap politik perempuan partai sebagai pelengkap dan simbolisasi politik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif eksplanatoris dengan teknik pengumpulan data dengan mengumpulkan data-data dan dokumen yang terkait serta melalui wawancara mendalam (in-depth interview). Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa tengah terjadi disfungsi sayap politik perempuan, dikarenakan Garnita Malahayati sebagai sayap politik perempuan belum terlembagakan dengan baik. Artikel ini juga berpendapat bahwa sayap politik perempuan partai belum berperan aktif dalam proses kandidasi terutama mendorong proses kaderisasi politisi perempuan yang berkualitas.

Published: March 2020

Umut, insanoğlunun rahatsız olduğu duruma karşı harekete geçmesi ve içinde bulunduğu durumu değiştirme girişiminin edimidir. Umut eden birey ve toplum için hiçbir şey imkansız değildir. Kişi aktif bir beklenti içerisindedir. Bu aktif beklenti ulaşılmak istenen şey için eyleme dönüşür ve hayal etmenin ötesine geçer. İnsanoğlunu harekete geçiren olayların sayısız örneğine tarih içerisinde rastlamak mümkündür. Acı, keder, ıstırap yaratan durumlar krizlere ve trajedilere neden olarak, etkilenen kişileri içinde bulundukları durumu değiştirmek için eyleme geçirmiş veya yer değiştirmelerine neden olmuştur. Taşıdıkları umutlar paralelinde hareket eden bu insanların veya toplumların durumuna felsefeciler ve sanatçılar kayıtsız kalmamışlardır. Felsefeciler insanı umut edilen şeye yönelten içsel gerekliliğin ardında yatan duyguları açıklamışlar, ressamlar da bu insanlık durumunu, yaşanan olayları, insanlık vaziyetlerini doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak ilk elden görsel temsiller yoluyla eserlerinde ifade etmişlerdir. Bu çalışma da üç farklı sanatçının ortaya koymuş olduğu yapıtlardan hareketle, umut kavramının temsiller aracılığı ile eserlerin gerçekliği üzerinden nasıl temsil edildiği irdelenmiştir.
Big Business: O emprego do Big Data na melhoria da gestão de negócios
Authors: Costa Caroline Pereira Do Nascimento Da , Costa Renato Dos Santos Da , Conrado Luciane Medeiros De Souza
Published: March 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal apresentar e refletir o emprego do Big Data e do Business Intelligence (BI), os vislumbrando, em suas diferentes concepções e aplicações, como instrumentos potencializadores de melhorias na gestão de negócios. Para sobreviver a “quarta onda industrial” as organizações precisam cada vez mais de inovações e otimizações em seus processos de gestão e contato com seus públicos-alvo. A predição de dados do sistema Big Data traz a luz e a inferência tanto nos conhecimentos das necessidades do mercado, quanto nos métodos de análise de eficácia nos procedimentos e sistemas avaliativos das organizações inclusas nas sociedades do conhecimento e da informação. O trabalho se justifica na importância para o desenvolvimento das Ciências, Organizações e Negócios em conhecer a utilização das tecnologias para explorar formas eficazes nos processamentos de informações, tomadas de decisões e conexões novas e eficazes na direção das demandas, especialmente nas relações com os clientes em um âmbito de negócios. Utiliza-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental para revisar a literatura da área, democratizando o conhecimento sobre Big Data e o diferenciando do BI. Conclui-se que a tecnologia do Big Data, usada no âmbito da gestão, pode permitir que as organizações busquem o que chamam de “oceano azul”, ou seja, uma distância de seus concorrentes, promovida pelas melhores percepções do mercado oriundas do processamento de informações e da maior aproximação com os clientes.

A classe média brasileira e o arquétipo do preconceito de classe
Authors: Giesbrecht Daniel Florence
Published: March 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo elaborar uma reconstituição histórica, a partir do serial da longa duração, da formação da classe média brasileira e, também do seu arquétipo de preconceito de classe. Utilizamos como ponto de partida para nossa reflexão o fato de o Brasil ter vivido mais de trezentos anos de escravidão, o que legou a profusão de um imaginário racista, resultando em práticas preconceituosas e naturalizadas às populações afrodescendentes, além de ter se estendido para o cidadão pobre, em geral. Procuramos relacionar de forma historicista os objetos estudados aos conceitos sociológicos de socialização, além de caracterizarmos o ideário burguês da classe média e das elites brasileiras a partir da história das mentalidades. Pretendemos contribuir para um melhor entendimento dos entraves criados pela falta de práticas de alteridade nas relações sociais cotidianas.

Local Democracy in the West-Nordic Countries
Authors: Eyþórsson Grétar Þór
Published: March 2020

In 2012, the research project West Nordic municipal structure. Challenges to local democracy, efficient service provision and adaptive capacity was granted money from the Arctic Co-operation Programme 2012-2014. The overall aim of the project was to collect knowledge on the local level in the three West Nordic countries; the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland by mapping the situation and development in the municipal sectors, focusing primarily on four aspects. The first was; the municipal structure. The second was; the democratic aspect – that is, which consequences the structural development has had for local democracy – to identify the main challenges to democracy, caused by the structural developments. The third; to map the service production capacity and effectiveness of the municipalities, and the fourth; to try to map the municipalities’ capacity to manage the development processes which often accompany municipal amalgamations. An overall research question was: What consequences have developments in municipal structure in the three countries had for democracy, local self-government and autonomy, as well as the ability to manage the processes accompanying amalgamations? In September 2014 a report containing this analysis was submitted . In this article I use the data from this survey to answer following main research questions:

What is the general status of local democracy in the three countries?
Is there a connection between size and democracy when we are looking at municipalities in a small scale size as is the case in the West Nordic countries?
Does peripheral or central position in a municipality affect the attitudes towards democracy as measured in the survey reported?
The operationalization of local democracy is threefold: First, looking at the perception of power and influence by different territories in each municipality. Second, looking at the perceptions of access to the municipal administration. The third is by looking at the perception of ties and contacts to the local politicians.

Authors: Kirpik Gulsen
Published: March 2020

Aim - This study aims to measure the level of entrepreneurship, professionalism, and leadership intention of the Z generation. This effort is to investigate whether the socio-demographic characteristics of the Z generation, such as gender, education level, work experience, family income level, the presence of entrepreneurs in the family, or the immediate vicinity, leading to significant differences on the levels of entrepreneurship, professionalism and leadership intention.
Methodology – The simple random sampling method was used to collect data. A total of 563 questionnaires was collected for the study. The participants were mainly the students in high schools and vocational schools of higher education in the Adiyaman-Kahta district. SPSS 22.0 program was used to analyze the data set.
Findings - Cronbach's alpha value of the scale of entrepreneurship, professionalism, and leadership intention was measured as 0.89. Moreover, non-parametric analysis methods were used to test the hypotheses of the study because the data did not show normal distribution (p <0.01). The hypotheses were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H tests.
Originality – The study will help the policymakers to develop projects and training programs to promote entrepreneurship in the generation Z and following generations.

O Método Veronesi segue critérios cientí­ficos, lei vigente, recomendações e normativas sobre a temática para um caminho de uma conclusão estruturada e embasada para auxiliar o juí­zo nas decisões. O objetivo é levar para a sociedade, o conhecimento dos aspectos técnicos e cientí­ficos do Método. A partir das diretrizes do TST, o método analisa o nexo, procede a investigação no local de trabalho, onde utiliza normativas como a ISO 11226 para avaliar posturas e software de análise de movimento para quantifica-las, a ISO 11228 para análise de levantamento e transporte de carga, e atividades repetitivas. Usa critérios estabelecido pela Instrução Normativa do INSS para o nexo. Foi um estudo retrospectivo, transversal, que escolheu aleatoriamente 100 perí­cias pelo Método. Foi analisada a quantidade de segmentos afetados (doenças diagnosticadas) que buscava se houve nexo causal, nexo de concausa e inexistência de nexo. Foram escolhidos aleatoriamente 10 decisões de primeira e segunda instância a fim de correlacionar as conclusões com o Método. Encontrados 159 doenças diagnosticadas sendo, 49 apresentaram 1 segmento acometido, 43 apresentaram 2 segmentos, 7 com 3 segmentos, e 1 caso com 4 segmentos adoecidos. Apresentaram nexo causal em 71 casos, 50 nexo concausa e 38 inexistência de nexo. Todas as decisões judiciais de primeira e segunda instância, o Método Veronesi foi aceito, dando sustentabilidade para a justiça cumprir seu ofí­cio. O Método estudado demonstrou ser um importante instrumento técnico cientí­fico a ser utilizado pelos peritos para laudos com conclusões embasadas e fundamentas, auxiliando assim, o juí­zo em decisões mais justa.Palavras-chave: método Veronesi, perí­cia judicial, nexo causal.
European values: theoretical foundations formation

Ukraine needs systematic political, legal and economic reforms. All these changes are aimed at bringing Ukraine closer to the European Union and introducing European values and standards into Ukraine’s state policy.

Despite a deep study of the notion of «value» and the introduction of «European values» into the political life of society, scientists have very superficially considered the issues of Ukrainian values, and their reorientation and adaptation to European values and standards.

This is first and foremost due to the difficult and unstable development of the Ukrainian political space. In view of all these problems, it is appropriate to study such concepts as: «values of political space», «European values», «values of Ukrainian society».

The values of political space include ideas of political needs of certain subjects. Values of political space are formed from political realities, they are elements in which the subjects are endowed with appropriate needs and positions that determine the position or disposition of the subject in that space.

The difference between political values and values of political space lies in the fact that political space reflects the desired result of political activity, as opposed to the values of the political ones that reflect the preferences, interests of the political space actors, who live in the system in real time, and fight beyond the spheres of influence.

Everyone has to comprehend value-based ideas, in particular about the purpose of the individual, moral and spiritual ideals, inner convictions, etc., based on the historical, cultural and spiritual heritage of our Motherland and European standards.

Today the state is transformed from a society with a traditional system, elements of authoritarianism into a socially oriented society with a transparent democracy.  Replacement of existing value systems with the European scale of values, orientation to moral healing of society, increasing importance of culture, depriving the burden of corruption manifestations.

Background: A male in his thirties was found dead in his apartment. On the day before he found dead, he had multiple vague physical complaints, including abdominal pain, vomiting, mouth dryness, and chillness. On autopsy, his liver showed extensive fatty changes, but changes in the other organs were unremarkable.

Method: Toxicological analysis showed high concentrations of acetone in his blood (1651 μmol/l) and urine (1913 μmol/l), without any measurable amounts of ethanol.

Result: Biochemical analysis indicated high levels of 3-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid in the plasma, low levels of plasma C-peptide, and normal levels of hemoglobin A1c. Tests for islet-related antibodies in the plasma yielded negative results. Immunohistological examination indicated selective destruction of the pancreatic islet β cells. Based on these findings, we concluded that the cause of death was fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus associated with diabetic ketoacidosis.

Conclusion: Thus, the toxicological analysis of acetone in the blood and urine is important for the diagnosis of death from fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Purpose: For making denture in maxillectomy cases is very difficult and challenging to get the retention tomake the denture stable in its position during functioning. This case report describes a clinical condition inwhich patient was treated with a maxillary obturator with zygomatic suspension wiring due to insufficientretention in the palate.

Materials and Methods: A 63-year-old patient had gone to a subtotal maxillectomybecause following myofibroblastic sarcoma andwas issued with bilateral circum-zygomatic wiring hooksimmediately after surgery. The patient had less than a third of their alveolar ridge remaining and did notprovide sufficient retention on its own. The wires were used for the retention because natural retentioncould not get due to inadequate maxillary ridge. While the denture was being fabricated, a temporaryfeeding plate was provisioned to the patient. Counter hooks were implemented on the definitive upperdenture, posterior to molars, to attach to the zygomatic suspension hook. Final upper denture was furtherreinforced with denture adhesive on it. A lower denture was also fabricated for the said case followingconventional protocols of jaw relation determination.

Results: The obturator provided with adequate sealand leak proof phonetics. The zygomatic wiring coupled with denture adhesive were sufficient to provideadequate retention.

Conclusion: Zygomatic suspension wires coupled with counter hooked obturatorprosthesis provide rehabilitation of patients with palatal defects with inadequate maxillary arch forretention.However long-term repeated use of such wires might expose the patient to secondary infectionsand should be kept in consideration

Clinical Significance: Circum-zygomatic suspension wiring providesufficient retention to sustain the upper obturator prosthesis in place. However, the retention was stillinadequate, so denture adhesives were used to make it more stable.
