How Using Machine Learning Classification as a Variable in Regression Leads to Attenuation Bias and What to Do About It
Authors: Zhang Han
Published: May 2021

Social scientists have increasingly been applying machine learning algorithms to "big data" to measure theoretical concepts they cannot easily measure before, and then been using these machine-predicted variables in a regression. This article first demonstrates that directly inserting binary predictions (i.e., classification) without regard for prediction error will generally lead to attenuation biases of either slope coefficients or marginal effect estimates. We then propose several estimators to obtain consistent estimates of coefficients. The estimators require the existence of validation data, of which researchers have both machine prediction and true values. This validation data is either automatically available during training algorithms or can be easily obtained.Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed estimators. Finally, we summarize the usage pattern of machine learning predictions in 18 recent publications in top social science journals, apply our proposed estimators to two of them, and offer some practical recommendations.
The Western Threat to the Lebanese Provinces during the Egyptian Era
Authors: Fleifel Bassem Marwan
Published: May 2021

Muhammad Ali Pasha, Wāli of Egypt, served the Ottoman Empire admirably both in Arabia and Morea, fighting the Wahhābis and the Greek revolutionaries. He hoped that in return, the Sultanate would reward him with another Eyalet to rule alongside Egypt, but that never happened. Since Muhammad Ali had far-reaching political ambitions, he decided to annex the Levant due to its strategic, economic and demographic importance. So he took advantage of the turmoil and the state of weakness that the Ottoman Empire was going through, and sent an army to the Levant, conquering it with ease, forcing the Sultan to recognize this new situation due to European Pressures, and in order to maintain peace throughout the Empire. Muhammad Ali Pasha’s annexation of the Levant resulted in its exposure to many dangers as a result of the increase in Western interference in its internal affairs, which in return was the result of Muhammad Ali Pasha’s alliance with France, whose influence increased consequently in the Levant under the Pasha’s rule. This prompted the rest of the European powers to work on preserving their interests in the region, which had a long term negative effect on the Ottoman Sultanate and its subjects.

Rural residents in the western United States, a politically conservative region reliant on natural resources and amenities tied to a land-based economy, strongly support government relief spending in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, rural people show bipartisan support for low-carbon development in residents' local counties. These results suggest an opportunity for climate-conscious development policies that bundle pandemic recovery andclimate change mitigation while securing sustainable rural livelihoods.
Why Online does not Equal Offline: Comparing Online and Real-World Political Support Among Politicians.
Authors: Brandenberger Laurence , Casiraghi Giona , Andres Georges , Schweighofer Simon , Schweitzer Frank
Published: May 2021

Are offline political relations and endorsements established or maintained with online interactions?We examine the external validity of data on political behavior exhibited online and compare it to offline behavior. We overlay two data sets on political support among members of the Swiss parliament to estimate the explanatory power of online endorsements on offline cosponsorship signatures among members, using a gHypEG network regression model.Whereas offline support behavior is driven by a broad range of factors, such as network and homophily effects, online endorsement is less diverse.Our findings show that online endorsement is predominantly driven by partisanship, calling into question the use of online political behavior data to study real-world politics.
Expectations of Trustworthiness in Cross-Status Interactions
Authors: Salgado Mauricio , Núñez Javier , Mackenna Bernardo
Published: May 2021

Although the literature on trust is vast, little is known about the attributes that trigger or inhibit trusting others we do not know. Using a vignette version of the trust game, we addressed the role that social standing plays in estimating trustworthiness of strangers in cross-status interactions in Chile, a non-WEIRD context also characterized by high inequality and social segregation. We found no relationship between the socioeconomic status of trustors and trusting behavior. However, trustees’ income was the most important attribute for trustors to decide how much to trust. We also found that higher-income trustees are less trusted in general, particularly by lower-status trustors. Finally, the results revealed that the influence of income differences on trust was higher for lower-status participants: they are more trustful of others of similar status. We did not observe a similar effect of ingroup favoritism on trust among higher-status participants. These results suggest that income differences are decisive in the trust decisions of lower-status individuals.
A Cognitive-Evolutionary Model for the Evolution of Teaching
Authors: Ventura Rafael , Akcay Erol
Published: May 2021

Mechanisms for social learning have rightly been the focus of much work in cultural evolution. But mechanisms for teaching---mechanisms that determine what information is available for learners to learn in the first place---are equally important to cultural evolution, especially in the case of humans. Here, we propose a simple model of teaching in the context of skill transmission. Our model derives the evolutionary cost and benefit of teaching by explicitly representing cognitive aspects of skill transmission. Results show that there is an "explain-exploit" trade-off inherent to teaching, which can give rise to an opportunity cost that goes beyond any direct cost that it may also entail. We then discuss how this opportunity cost can cause teaching mechanisms to be self-limiting, suggesting that such mechanisms may nevertheless play an important role in the evolution of cumulative culture in humans.
Modified exponential function method for nonlinear mathematical models with Atangana conformable derivative
Authors: Aktürk Tolga
Published: May 2021

In this study, we investigate the analytical solutions of the modified Benjamin Bona Mahony and Sharma-Tosso-Olver equations, which are defined with Atangana conformable fractional derivative, using the modified exponential function method. Analytical solutions of the modified Benjamin Bona Mahony and Sharma-Tosso-Olver equations were obtained by using the modified exponential function method. Two, three-dimensional and contour graphics are used to understand the physical interpretations of the resulting analytical solutions to the mathematical model. When all these results and graphs are analzyed, it has been shown that the modified exponential function method is an effective method for obtaining analytical solutions for all other nonlinear fractional partial differential equations containing conformable fractional derivatives of Atangana.

The main aim of this study is to identify the key-issues, intentions and trends by examining peer-reviewed publications using a combination of social network analysis (SNA), computerized lexical analysis and content analysis. Research findings indicate that there is a growing trend in gamification in mathematics education (GIME) research. GIME is mostly employed in primary school level. It was also found that, numbers is the most gamified math topic. Another research finding reveals that the researchers mostly use gamification to improve mathematical problem-solving, math achievement and math performance apart from the motivation and engagement. According to SNA findings, the most strategic terms in GIME research are as follows; geometry, fractions, mobile-learning, gender-studies, human-computer interaction, intelligent tutoring systems and tangible user-interfaces. GIME research is mostly influenced by USA and Brazil hence, the developing countries have an increasing interest in GIME research. Finally, findings on general research discourse implies that the general discourse among the sampled papers is positive. The findings obtained in this study may be useful to improve mathematics education by mapping a research agenda for researchers and educators with the exploration of potentials of GIME research.

Authors: KALDIRIM Abdullah , TAVŞANLI Ömer Faruk
Published: May 2021

When examining the current thematic analysis studies on digital teaching technologies in learning-teaching processes, three main limitations were encountered. The first of these limitations is that most of the thematic analysis studies dealt with all studies conducted in the literature, regardless of country. The second limitation of the studies conducted in the literature is that the existing thematic analysis are quite old. The last of the limitations is that the thematic analyzes of the studies on the use of digital teaching technologies in language education or teaching-based courses were mostly carried out in the field of foreign language teaching / second language teaching. This research aims to examine the literature on the use of digital teaching technologies in Turkish language teaching studies and to reveal a synthesis of this; get a general idea of the frequency of research in this field; to present the general framework of researches published in different regions, different journals and studied in different universities as thesis and to reveal how various variables (technology type, index of published journals, thesis type, etc.) affect the use of technology in Turkish language teaching studies. The research was designed in the thematic content analysis design, which is a type of content analysis. The general characteristics, reasons, aims, method information, results, and recommendations of the studies examined in this study were presented by analyzing them. The research results revealed that there is still a need for studies on using digital teaching technologies in Turkish language teaching studies. There are almost no studies, especially in some learning areas. Also, it has been concluded that digital teaching technologies are highly effective in learning areas of reading and writing. High socioeconomic levels and female students use technology better in the Turkish language course, and many positive and negative aspects of technology have been discovered for students.

An investigation into pre-service teachers’ online learning climate perceptions
Authors: ÖNAL Ahmet , ÖZDEMİR Atilla
Published: May 2021

Starting from the first half of 2020, educational institutions at all levels have had to switch to online education as an emergency solution for the global outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic. However, it would hardly be justified to argue that teachers and students were well-prepared for such a swift change. Accordingly, this transformation has resulted in many difficulties for teachers and students along with educational institutions. One of the primary challenges teachers have experienced throughout the process is creating a positive online classroom climate. Thus, the main purpose of the present study is to reveal the online learning climate perceptions of pre-service teachers by adapting and using the Online Learning Climate Scale (OLCS) in Turkish context. In a similar vein, such variables as gender, department or grade level, which may have an influence on the perceptions of pre-service teachers, are also aimed to be disclosed within the study. The research has been conducted with a study group of 348 pre-service teachers. It has been observed that the pre-service teachers’ perceptions on online learning climate are at less than moderate level; therefore, far from satisfactory. Additionally, it has been noted that variables such as the department, grade level and level of digital literacy have an influence on the OLCS perceptions of the pre-service teachers. Finally, the overall results of the study suggest that the skill of creating a positive online learning climate needs to be improved for pre-service teachers via integrating courses into the curriculum of teacher training institutions and organizing subject-specific trainings.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service teachers' perceptions of social media. The phenomenology approach, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The participants of the study included 201 pre-service teachers studying at two state universities, one in Turkey and the other in Sweden, in the spring term of the 2018-2019 academic year. In the study, metaphors were used to reveal pre-service teachers' perceptions of social media. The pre-service teachers were asked to fill in the following query: 'Social Media is like ……… because ………'. The collected qualitative data were analyzed by using content analysis method. The findings indicated that the pre-service teachers from both countries perceived social media mostly as a tool for communication and access to information and that a very few of them associated social media with education. In addition, it was found that pre-service teachers from Turkey had more negative perceptions of social media compared to those from Sweden. The pre-service teachers from Turkey who had negative perceptions associated social media mostly with addiction.
Post Transition Challenges to Emergent Democracy: A Study of 2008 Transition in Pakistan
Authors: Khan Adil , Imran Muhammad , Nazakat
Published: May 2021

Pakistan's history is witness to the fact that in all cases of the military takeover, though Military Regimes initially were able to consolidate, yet with the passage of time, growing discontent, desire for change, and the gradual erosion of legitimacy pose a serious threat to not only the regime but also the institutional interests of the military. International allies of the regime also feel it difficult to support an unpopular regime at home. Thus the combination of internal and external pressures compels the regime to transfer power to civilian leadership. Emerging democracy, in the post-transition period, faces a multitude of challenges. This paper investigates various challenges posed to the newly installed government of the PPPP led alliance after the transition of 2008. The paper is based upon the juxtaposition of primary and secondary sources to enrich and substantiate the arguments.

Amidst a variety of cultural cum representational notions of individual or group identity, postcolonial studies attempt not only to explore and unfold how Eurocentric logos builds social realities but employs ways also to deconstruct the stereotypes. It provides theorists and critics with analytical methods to see how a fictional work supports or subverts a common paradigm based on Eurocentrism. The aim of this paper is to analyze Robert Greene's play Selimus and Western logos rules oriental discourse and how the Orient is (mis)represented. The study contends that the play under-study follows the traditional literary chain of ousting the Orient from the center either by making it suppressed or a satanic evil. In Selimus, for instance, the Turks, like other oriental races such as the Arabs, the Moors, the Persians and so on, are represented in the early modern writings as the "grand evil" whose infidelity is a threat to the Christian world.

The weak political organization of nearly all political parties is another contributing factor in political instability. No democratic culture prevails inside all political parties; all political parties, with the exception of very few, has been ruling by one family, and mostly are dominated by one family or person; their party of the election has been mostly blamed as selection and not an election. The scope of all parties has been limited to certain areas, religion and nationalities. .As a result of weak organizations of political parties and dominant rule of the military do not allow any government to form a government alone; all political parties rely on other political parties to form government in centre as well as province.
