KONSEP BERBURU BATU AKIK SEBAGAI GEOWISATA BERBASIS EDUKASI GEOLOGI DI DESA SAWAHAN, KECAMATAN PONJONG, KABUPATEN GUNUNGKIDUL
Authors: Nugraha Wahyu Ardiansyah , Muhammad Widyawan Nur
Published: March 2023

Desa Sawahan terletak di Kecamatan Ponjong, Kabupaten Gunungkidul. Pada daerah tersebut, tersingkap batuan dari tiga formasi, yakni retas dasit dan breksi vulkanik Formasi Mandalika, batuan piroklastik Formasi Semilir, serta batugamping Formasi Wonosari. Keindahan perbukitan karst dan keterdapatan batu akik, yakni jasper atau yang umum dikenal sebagai batu pancawarna, menambah kekayaan geologi pada daerah tersebut. Kondisi geologi yang unik ditambah dengan keindahan geomorfologi menjadikan daerah tersebut dapat dikembangkan sebagai kawasan geowisata yang berbasis edu-wisata. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif yang dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan yang meliputi keragaman geologi dan kondisi sosio-masyarakat. Hasil observasi lapangan menunjukkan bahwa keterdapatan jasper dapat berupa fragmen breksi vulkanik dan berupa singkapan batuan in-situ. Selain itu, didapatkan pula agate, kalsedon, dan kuarsa botyroidal yang menambah keberagaman batu akik di sana. Keterdapatan jasper pada daerah tersebut telah dimanfaatkan secara terbatas oleh masyarakat lokal dan dapat dikembangkan menjadi lokasi geosite untuk berburu jasper dan batu akik lainnya yang berbasis edukasi. Pengembangan prospek geowisata pada daerah tersebut akan memberikan dampak positif kepada sosio- ekonomi masyarakat sekitar.
PENINGKATAN AKURASI COMPLETE BOUGUER ANOMALY MAP PADA DATA TOPEX SATELLITE MENGGUNAKAN KONSTANTA BARU BERDASARKAN MATHEMATICAL DERRIVATIVE
Authors: Maulana Aji Darma , Setiawan Aprilia Frinanda
Published: March 2023

Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan data gravitasi observasi satelit TOPEX dengan luas area sebesar 37.530 km2 berupa Free Air Anomaly.  Penelitian berbasis analisis ini berlandaskan ketidaksesuaian antara dinamika geologi dengan data pengolahan gravitasi conventional. Dengan menekankan pada pengolahan gravitasi secara unconventional, analisis ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan besaran yang dapat mereduksi efek topografi tanpa menghilangkan informasi litologi.  Pengolahan dilakukan dengan cara membandingkan beberapa variasi perlakuan koreksi Bouguer pada nilai Free Air Anomaly. Perlakuan tersebut berupa analisis matematis yang diterapkan dengan cara memperkecil rentang nilai koreksi Bouguer yang terlalu signifikan sebagai efek dari ketidakcocokan antara konstanta Bouguer conventional terhadap jarak ukur antara satelit dengan massa batuan.  Dihasilkan beberapa peta complete bouger anomaly dengan pola ekspresi yang berbeda sebagai efek dari variasi analisis matematis. Representasi data yang memiliki kesesuaian dengan fenomena geologi sebenarnya dapat dilihat pada complete bouger anomaly map dengan konstanta baru yaitu 0.04193/2.5 atau 0.016772. Terlihat kemenerusan utama anomali gravitasi dengan orientasi relatif utara-selatan yang diinterpretasikan sebagai sesar mendatar serta beberapa kemenerusan lainnya dengan orientasi relatif barat laut-tenggara yang diinterpretasikan sebagai sesar penyerta. Keberadaan dan persebaran densitas yang mencerminkan litologi maupun sesar pada daerah penelitian telah tervalidasi oleh peta geologi dan ekspresi topografi data SRTM berdasarkan analisis anomali gravitasi.
ANALISIS MULTI-CRITERIA MENGGUNAKAN ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS UNTUK MEMETAKAN KERAWANAN SINKHOLE DI GUNUNG KIDUL, YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Pamungkas Bayu , Terok Johanes Timoty Jeremy , Wijaya Edward
Published: March 2023

Kejadian sinkhole telah menjadi bencana yang berdampak serius pada industri, ekonomi, dan kehidupan masyarakat Gunung Kidul. Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah Gunung Kidul mencatat sudah terjadi 32 kali kejadian sinkhole sejak tahun 2007 dengan pola semakin intensif setiap tahunnya. Kegiatan industri yang memanfaatkan airtanah telah mengakibatkan penurunan level muka airtanah sehingga menaikkan risiko kejadian sinkhole. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan kajian ulang terhadap penggunaan tata guna lahan di Kabupaten Gunung Kidul. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kriteria kerawanan sinkhole di Kabupaten Gunung Kidul serta memetakan zona kerawanannya. Tahapan awal penelitian ini adalah mendelineasi persebaran karst pada daerah penelitian. Kemudian, faktor pengontrol kejadian sinkhole dideterminasi untuk dijadikan kriteria dalam tahapan evaluasi. Kriteria yang digunakan adalah kondisi geologi, kemiringan lereng, tata guna lahan, dan kondisi hidrologi. Kriteria tersebut dievalusi menggunakan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process. Peta kerawanan sinkhole akan dibagi menjadi tiga kelas yaitu kelas kerawanan rendah, menengah, dan tinggi. Jika kelas kerawanan tinggi sebagian besar terpetakan di kawasan industri, perumahan, dan lahan pertanian maka kawasan tersebut direkomendasi untuk dipindahkan ke daerah dengan kelas kerawanan menengah hingga rendah terdekat. Tata guna lahan dengan kelas kerawanan tinggi yang menjadi kawasan industri, perumahan, dan lahan pertanian direkomendasi untuk dialihfungsikan sebagai kawasan geowisata karst.
Are there International Labour Standards? Case of Migrant Workers’ Exploitation in Italy
Authors: Gunawan Yordan , Ansar Muhammad Arya , Fathi Muhammad , Devty Stephanie , Irrynta Dwilani
Published: March 2023

The increasingly fierce competition in the world of work has an impact on people getting jobs. The condition makes most people become migrants by traveling to other countries to find a job for a decent life in the future. However, the work that migrant workers get is often not as expected, so the rights of migrants are often not fulfilled. The amount of violence in the world of work and the non-fulfillment of the rights of migrant workers in Italy is an act that violates human rights. Therefore, the authors wrote this article by using normative legal research method to analyze migrant workers in Italy who are exploited by forced labor and the lack of protection regarding the minimum wage for migrant workers and also aims to analyze the role of the International Labour Organization as an organization that protects the rights of migrant workers, including protection from violence and protection of the minimum wage for migrant workers in Italy. The result shows that there is an urgency for Italy to ratify the Minimum Wage Convention on the grounds that it diminishes the exploitation of migrant workers and provides binding legal force for the sake of migrant workers.
Implication of Coal Mining Permit Governance to Environmental Degradation in East Kalimantan
Authors: Mohamad Nasir
Published: March 2023

This article analyzes the regulation dynamics regarding coal mining permit governance and its impact on environmental degradation. This paper addresses two main issues. First, it explores the dynamics of coal mining regulations and to what extent they create legal uncertainty in coal mining permit governance. Second, it investigates the implications of the legal uncertainty to the environmental damage around the mining sites. The findings demonstrate that two factors have driven policies and laws in the coal mining sector for over a decade. First, coal mining legislation relates to other industries such as the environment, forestry, spatial planning, and regional governance. Besides, the regulations are multi-level, where the authority lies with the central, provincial, and district/city governments. The second is legislative capture, where licensing legal norms are "co-opted" by particular economic interests. Such policies and laws dynamics lead to uncertainty in the permit governance of the coal mining sector. Further, the legal uncertainty that makes a permit has failed to control coal mining activities and protect citizens' access to a good and healthy environment. On the contrary, permit demonstrated the opposite role: becoming a legal instrument that drives environmental damage and pollution.
UNCLOS Definition of Piracy: Is it still Relevant for Modern Piracy?
Authors: Nilasari Nilasari , Steele Lorna
Published: March 2023

Nowadays, piracy as one of crimes at sea has formed in different ways compared to the historical counterparts. On the past, the act of piracy consisted of first approaching the ship, then fighting it, and finally seizing it before escaping in another vessel. Meanwhile, in recent times, more sophisticated kinds of piracy are launching their assaults with the help of cutting-edge technology. However, due to UNCLOS's restricted definition of piracy, it is challenging to combat such modern forms. According to experts, one of the greatest barriers to tackling piracy is its restricted and vague definition. This research aims to analyse the applicability of the UNCLOS definition of maritime piracy considering its new developments. This research method consists of doctrinal and library-based research. The previous and recent cases are contrasted to investigate definitional issues. The study revealed that UNCLOS's ambiguous and unclear definition of piracy has caused problems. Regarding contemporary piracy, the UCLOS approach is insufficient to combat well-organized pirate attacks in the modern world.

Published: March 2023

Knowledge and awareness on the natural resources among elementary and high school students are important attributes for future resource conservation and management. However, the enslaving features of gadgets and technologies has shifted the focus of the students away from nature-based knowledge and has motivated the government to integrate environmental education (EE) to the basic education programs. However, its implementation has not been successful due to lack of teaching materials and limits on teachers’ capabilities. As such, it was found out that knowledge of elementary, junior high school (JHS) and senior high school (SHS) students on the native and unique natural resources of Bicol Region are almost the same, with an average score of 40%. But intervention through the use of EE teaching materials developed from the research publications and reports of Bicol University Tabaco Campus faculty-researchers showed that an increase of 31%, 21%, and 28% have been observed for elementary, JHS, and SHS students, respectively. However, a significant difference (p<0.05) was observed between high schoolers from urban setting as compared to the upland and island students with regards to the prior knowledge on natural resources, on the other hand, significant change was also observed in the increase of knowledge in upland (30% increase for JHS, and 42% for SHS) and island students (22% and 27% for JHS and SHS, respectively) as compared to the urban students (12% and 17% for JHS and SHS, respectively). No differences were observed for the elementary students across sites. Several factors were identified to influence knowledge and awareness of students such as, access to internet and mass media, exposure to local situations and prior knowledge, and influence of family and community.

Overall, knowledge and awareness of elementary and high school students on the local natural resources are relatively low but existence of local and relevant EE learning materials can help increase them. It is therefore, recommended that EE through the KADUNUNG program should be institutionalized to improve knowledge and awareness of students in Tabaco City.

Resultantly, the message factor is the most influential predictor as news credibility was the only significant predictor for news engagement and mobile consumption of public affairs news in Malaysia. Meanwhile, the relationship between online medium and users’ motivation for social utility significantly impact their engagement with public affairs news but not mobile news consumption. Immediacy and information-seeking indicated negligible and insignificant influences. The implications of the study are discussed.
Exploring the impact of social media exposure patterns on people’s belief in fake news during COVID-19: A cross-gender study
Authors: Wu Yanhong , Mustafa Hasrina
Published: March 2023

During COVID-19, fake news on social media seriously threatened public health. As a solution to this problem, this study examined how social media exposure patterns affect people being deeply harmed by fake news. Based on cognitive dissonance theory, this study investigated the effect of intentional and incidental exposure on belief in fake news through the mediating role of confirmation bias. The results show that intentional exposure positively influences confirmation bias and belief in fake news. Incidental exposure is the opposite. Our results also show that intentional exposure and confirmation bias negatively influence incidental exposure. Furthermore, these relationships remain unchanged by gender. This study provides theoretical and empirical contributions to reducing people’s belief in fake news.

Authors: Palguna I Dewa Gede , Bisariyadi Bisariyadi
Published: March 2023

Constitutional Court Decision No. 85/PUU-XX/2022 abolished the proposal to establish a special court that have the power to resolve disputes on local election. As a result, that power shifted to Constitutional Court. This, de facto, is not the power designed to be exercised by the Court. Back tracked on historical trajectory of holding direct local elections, there has been a tug-of-war between judicial bodies on who have the legitimate power to settle the disputes on local elections results. This study aims to examine the power of Constitutional Court to adjudicate disputes on local election results. To achieve the research objective, this research framework will look at the historical context to have an overview of the dynamics of transposition of judicial bodies to settle the disputes. In addition, this also assess Constitutional Court decisions which provide interpretations as the basis for the legitimacy of the Court's power to adjudicate local election disputes.

Authors: Muda Iskandar
Published: March 2023

Observing the follow-up of state law-forming institutions (House of Representative and President) after the Constitutional Court Decision is a wise step for the development of legal knowledge. This study uses a normative juridical approach. The results of the study: (i) legal order (injunction) in the ruling section, while legal order (advice) contained in legal considerations and, (ii) follow-up to legal order (injunction) contained in the Constitutional Court's rulings that have been implemented. and some have not been implemented because it has not reached the specified time limit. Meanwhile, the legal order (advice) of the related Constitutional Court decision has been implemented. In the end, it can be concluded that in a decision of the Constitutional Court there are two categories of legal order, namely injunction and advice, which have been implemented by the legislators. Although some have not been implemented because it has not reached the specified time limit.

Authors: Hakiki Yuniar Riza , Taufiqurrahman Taufiqurrahman
Published: March 2023

MK decission which are "rejecting" and "unacceptable", often contain a constructive “ratio decidendi/obiter dictum” to the formation of the UU, but has not been effectively acted upon in the Prolegnas. This study analyzes: (1) the urgency of national legislation arrangements based on the ratio decidendi/obiter dictum; (2) the formulation of national legislation arrangements based on the ratio decidendi/obiter dictum. This normative research concludes: (1) UU must be formed based on the constitution, but the constitutional messages/guidelines in the MK’s legal considerations-that impactful on the substance of the UU are not followed up. (2) revise Article 18 of the Law No.12 of 2011 as ammanded through the Law No.13 of 2022 on the Establishment of Law and Regulation; give priority weight-to the law affected by the MK decision and include in the Prolegnas priority; the substance of the MK decision must be followed up in the drafting; and institute constitutional dialogue.

Effect of Plant Density and Spraying with Ethephon on Yield and its Components of Sorghum (Var. Bohooth .70)
Authors: Dhahir latif Ali , KH. Khrbeet Hameed
Published: March 2023

A field experiment was carried out during the spring and autumn season 2021 in Al-Kut region - Wasit Governorate, to study the effect of plant densities and ethephon spraying on the yield and yield component of Sorghum (var. Bohooth 70). The experiment was applied according to a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in a split split plots design with three replications. The main plots included three plant densities (80000, 66666 and 50000 plants.ha-1), while the sub plots included three stages of ethephon spraying (4, 8 and 12 leaf per plant). Sub-sub plots included three concentrations of ethephon (0, 800, 1600 ppm). The results showed that the lower plant density (50,000 plants.ha-1) led to a significant decrease in plant height and the rate of lying, and a significant increase in yield per plant, weight of 1000 grains, and number of grains per head. Spraying ethephon increased the yield per plant, weight of 1000 grains, number of grains per head and yield of grain (t.ha-1). On the other hand, there was a significant relationship between the concentration of ethephon and the decrease by plant height and the rate of lying when sprayed at the stage of 4 and 8 leaves. It can be concluded from this study that plant height and lying ratio can be reduced when using low density with ethephon spray during early growth stages for economical grain production.

Harnessing Multi-Modal Data and Causal Inference for Robust Domain Generalization: A Comprehensive Approach
Authors: Srivastava Mashrin
Published: March 2023

Domain generalization (DG) is a crucial problem in machine learning that aims to develop models that can generalize well to new, unseen data distributions. Existing general-purpose approaches to DG have struggled to outperform standard empirical risk minimization baselines consistently. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach to domain generalization by harnessing multi-modal data and causal inference to achieve robustness to distribution shifts. We discuss the underlying principles, methodologies, and techniques, drawing on a range of recent research in the field. Our proposal leverages domain-level meta-data, explores multiple modalities, incorporates known invariances and domain knowledge, and employs causal modeling. Empirical analysis of existing DG methods and theoretical investigations of the DG problem are also presented, along with potential solutions and future directions for research.

Deriving GWAS summary estimates for paternal smoking in UK Biobank: A GWAS by subtraction
Authors: Woolf Benjamin , Sallis Hannah , Munafo Marcus Robert , Gill Dipender
Published: March 2023

Objective: To use GWAS-by-subtraction to derive genome wide summary statistics for paternal smoking. Result: We implemented the GWAS by subtraction using a weighted linear model which defined the child-genotype paternal-phenotype association as the child-genotype child-phenotype association minus the child-genotype maternal-phenotype association. We used a Monte-Carlo simulation to validate the model and showed that it performed similarly in terms of bias to a traditional GWAS of paternal smoking. We then implemented the linear model to create GWASs of paternal smoking. Since both the input GWASs were derived from the UK Biobank, we created two GWASs, one where the input GWASs had both adjusted for genotyping chip, and one where they had not. Finally, we validated the summary statistics in a Mendelian randomisation analysis by finding an association between paternal smoking and paternal lung cancer and emphysema. We found differences between the UK Biobank genotyping chip adjusted and non- genotyping-chip adjusted GWASs. We would therefore caution naive applications of the latter GWAS, as it could be suffering from residual confounding.

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on young people from black and mixed-ethnic groups’ mental health: A qualitative study
Authors: Lenoir Romane , Wong Keri Ka-Yee
Published: March 2023

Author NotesThis is now published in BMJ Open on 5 May 2023: https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/5/e071903.full **This manuscript has been submitted for publication and is likely to be edited as part of the peer-review process. Correspondence regarding this paper should be addressed to Dr Keri Ka-Yee Wong, keri.wong@ucl.ac.uk**AbstractObjectivesThe Covid-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted vulnerable groups’ physical and mental health, especially young people and minority ethnic groups, yet little is known about how this is taking place and what support they would like. To address this gap, this qualitative study aims to uncover the effect of the Covid-19 outbreak on young people with ethnic minority backgrounds’ mental health, how this changed since the end of lockdown and what support they need to cope with these issues. Setting and ParticipantsTen 20-minute in-person semi-structured interviews were conducted with young people aged 12 to 17 years old from black and mixed-ethnic groups who regularly attend a community centre in West London.ResultsThrough Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, results indicated that the participants’ mental health was negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with feelings of loneliness being the most common experience. However, positive effects were concurrently observed including improved well-being and better coping strategies post-lockdown, which is a testament to the young people’s resilience. That said, it is clear that young people from minority ethnic backgrounds lacked support during the Covid-19 pandemic and would now need psychological, practical and relational assistance to cope with these challenges. Conclusions Whilst future studies would benefit from a larger ethnically-diverse sample, this is a start. Study findings have the potential to inform future government policies around mental health support and access for young people from ethnic minorities, notably prioritising support for grassroots initiatives during times of crisis. Strengths and limitations •This qualitative interview study during Covid-19 gives voice to the experiences of young people from black and mixed-ethnic backgrounds in the UK•The in-person quality of the interviews helped build rapport between the researcher and the young people and sharing of sensitive issues around mental health access and support, increasing the results’ validity•This is a convenient sample, with girls and those aged 15 years and above being disproportionately represented in our data as they provided most of the answers. •The small sample size and lack of ethnic diversity limits the generalisability of the study to individuals from other ethnic minority groups.

DNA methylation (DNAm) based estimators of telomere length (TL) have been shown to better correlate with TL associated factors/outcomes than measured TL itself. Here, we examined the DNAm based estimator of TL (DNAmTL), the principal component version of DNAmTL (PCDNAmTL), qPCR measured TL (qPCR-TL), and southern blot measured TL in the same samples from a cohort from metropolitan Cebu, Philippines. In a pre-registered analysis, we examined the association between paternal age at conception (PAC) and offspring TL to better understand the meanings and utilities of PCDNAmTL and DNAmTL. We predicted that the nature of PCDNAmTL markings should determine whether they change in sperm with age and are passed on to the zygote like TL is. We failed to find an association between PAC and PCDNAmTL, but did find a positive association of paternal grandfather’s age at father’s conception predicting grandchild’s PCDNAmTL. Surprisingly, on almost all measures of external validity (correlations with parental TLs, southern blot TL, and age) qPCR-TL outperformed PCDNAmTL and DNAmTL. qPCR-TL showed a significantly stronger association with maternal qPCR-TL than PCDNAmTL and DNAmTL did. Similarly, qPCR-TL showed a significantly greater association with southern blot TL than PCDNAmTL or DNAmTL and the “kilobase” units of DNAm-based estimators of TL showed considerable deviations from southern blot derived kilobase measures. Also, surprisingly, for all of the measures of external validity DNAmTL outperformed PCDNAmTL. Overall, these findings suggest that PCDNAmTL and DNAmTL are not reliable indices of inherited aspects of TL and underscore uncertainty about the biological meaning of these measures.

Solid as a rock: Solidity shapes the perception of object motion
Authors: Bai Dawei , Strickland Brent
Published: March 2023

The human visual system embeds prior expectations about physical regularities of our world. One such regularity is that of “object solidity”: Solid objects cannot pass through each other. Is object solidity internalized in the human visual system? Here we provide converging evidence across five pre-registered behavioral experiments that the adult visual system uses solidity to compute object motion. We show that when viewing ambiguous displays of moving objects that are compatible with multiple interpretations, the visual system strongly favors interpretations which respect the solidity constraint over those that violate it, and this effect is not due to post-perceptual decision biases. Further demonstrating the robustness of this effect, we discovered that even in the presence of other motion and depth cues, solidity remains robust and continues to influence motion perception. Together, our results demonstrate for the first time that the physical law of solidity guides visual processing of object motion.
Behavioral Posology: A Novel Paradigm for Modeling the Healthy Limits of Behaviors
Authors: Henry Nathan , Pedersen Mangor , Williams Matt N , Donkin Liesje
Published: March 2023

One of the challenges faced by behavioral scientists is the lack of modeling methodologies for accurately determining when a behavior becomes problematic. The authors propose “behavioral posology” as a novel modeling paradigm for quantifying the healthy limits of behaviors through the concept of behavioral dose. As an example of this paradigm, a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model of a hypothetical digital behavior is presented, based on opponent process theory. The generic model can be adapted to simulate Solomon and Corbit's model of affective dynamics from 1974, and the model predicts features of addiction such as hedonic allostasis, withdrawal, and apparent tolerance. A behavioral frequency response analysis (BFRA) of the model demonstrates how behavior repetition may result in a hormetic dose–response relationship that depends on the frequency of the behavior. The model can be experimentally validated using Ecological Momentary Assessment, allowing researchers to hypothesize, model, and test causal mechanisms for behavioral addictions. The potential for behavioral posology to be applied as a clinical support tool in psychological medicine is discussed, as this modeling framework may help to detect and limit behaviors being performed too frequently based on factors such as the person's moral beliefs.
Disrupting a (far-right) mobilisation discourages bystander support by decreasing perceived organisational efficacy and legitimacy
Authors: Hoerst Carina , Drury John
Published: March 2023

The far-right recruits from the public with detrimental consequences for target groups and democracy. Therefore, undermining mobilisation and public support is crucial. Previous research suggests that perceptions of movement or system efficacy are associated with corresponding support. This suggests a novel hypothesis about how disruptive protests might reduce support for far-right movements by reducing perceived efficacy and legitimacy. In a pilot study and two pre-registered experiments using vignette designs, we present evidence for a serial process by which disruption (counterprotest) to the mobilisation of a far-right social movement is associated with a reduction in support intentions among moderate and high identifiers via reduced perceived efficacy and legitimacy. In Experiment 1, we introduced participants to a bogus far-right social movement which campaigned for stricter treatment of refugees. We found that disruption (vs none) was associated with a decrease in support intention among participants via perceiving the group as less organisationally efficacious and legitimate. There was some evidence that among high identifiers, the direct effect of witnessing disruption was associated with an increase in support intention, further emphasising the importance of the mediators. In Experiment 2, we used a neutral movement to test for generality and found the same indirect serial effects. However, since we found no significant direct effects here, the (increasingly rhetorically inflated) issue of asylum policies may explain the significant direct effect in Experiment 1. We also examined whether mockery aimed at decreasing legitimacy would have an even stronger effect but found no evidence for that. Practical implications of our findings for societies where counterprotest is often punished are discussed.
Multivariate fNIRS response patterns to social information are increasingly discriminable from six to sixty months of age

Improving the geographic and economic inclusiveness of developmental neuroscience is an urgent concern, and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is one tool extending the reach of neuroimaging beyond the communities closest to university laboratories. Where structural imaging facilities are unavailable, however, comparing fNIRS data across participants remains a challenge, especially as children’s head sizes vary widely with age. In this study, we describe a multivariate pattern analysis approach to describing fNIRS response patterns of infants and children (six- to sixty-months-old) from a low-income neighborhood of Dhaka, Bangladesh while they participated in a social cognition experiment (Perdue et al., 2019, Developmental Science). Instead of comparing the magnitude of hemodynamic responses in anatomical regions of interest, we use all channels simultaneously to compare changes in the discriminability between stimulus classes longitudinally over time (6-24 months, 36-60 months) and between groups (younger vs. older cohorts). From a sample of 53 to 74 children per age group, we find that a correlation-based, channel-space approach (Emberson et al., 2017, PLoS ONE) classifies fNIRS data more accurately with increasing age and is maximized by considering oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin simultaneously. Using the brain response patterns from this sample to classify another, smaller sample of children (36-51 children per age group) from the same neighborhood, we achieve the same accuracy and age effects. These findings complement and extend the published univariate findings with finer-grained quantitative comparisons between ages, illustrating the power of multivariate approaches to understand developmental change without precise anatomical localization and in moderately sized samples.
Priorities of health research in India: evidence of misalignment between research outputs and disease burden

Published: March 2023

This study examines whether and how India's research efforts address the country's health needs. It does so by investigating the degree of alignment between the burden of diseases in India and research efforts being undertaken in health and biomedical sciences by Indian institutions. WHO data from Global Health Estimates on Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) is used as the indicator of disease burden, and the number of publications on Web of Science as the proxy measure of research efforts.We find that the alignment between publications and DALYs in India is much lower than in high-income countries (HICs) and considerably lower than in countries such as China or Brazil. This is due to some areas of disease having little research efforts even though they have a high burden, while others receive large amounts of attention in spite of a low burden. For example, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases contribute to ~23% of the disease burden in India but only have a ~6% share of the total publications. In contrast, cancers contribute to ~5 % of the burden, while their publication share is almost 25%.We discuss some major driving factors behind this misalignment, such as market demand associated with diseases prevalent in HICs, the academic prestige of certain disease areas, and funding opportunities in global health. We also explore whether the disparity is due to weaknesses in healthcare delivery systems in India (e.g., in neonatal conditions) rather than a lack of research.

Published: March 2023

The growth of esports into a worldwide phenomenon is astounding. With more and more young people trying to make a living as gamers, there has never been a better time to dive into the subject. Despite having the world's largest youth population and the fifth largest economy (both promising grounds for esports), India's esports industry is still underdeveloped. Forty-one Indian professional gamers were interviewed to determine what factors are holding back the growth of esports in the country. Our research illuminates the complex realities of professional gamers in India and the obstacles they confront on their path to the top. Findings from a thematic analysis of the data show that the difficulties of pursuing a career in esports in India are rooted in techno-economic, sociocultural-political, and psychological challenges. Policy implications and suggestions to remedy gamers' precarious situation and advance the country's esports ecosystem are discussed in context. All stakeholders (government, sponsors, team organizations, event organizers, and parents) must collaborate for India to emerge as the global esports superpower.
