Discretionary Disclosure, Transparency, and Accountability
Authors: Heo Kun
Published: January 2024

Politicians often have the discretion to conceal politically relevant information since disclosure is not mandatory. Using a game-theoretic model, I explore how this discretion affects political accountability and policy-making incentives. I compare two scenarios: mandated and discretionary disclosure. Under mandated disclosure, the suitability of the chosen policy is revealed to the voter with a given probability. In contrast, under discretionary disclosure, the same information is revealed with the same probability only if the incumbent opts to disclose it. The comparative analysis suggests that discretionary disclosure can enhance accountability compared to mandated disclosure when a null observation from noise is unlikely, which makes the voter’s inference from a null observation sharp, and his election decision is likely to be swayed by his posterior belief about the incumbent’s quality than other factors such as his idiosyncratic preferences for candidates.
Falling in love with robots: The three-stage model of source orientation and social interaction with virtual influencers
Authors: Liu Fanjue
Published: January 2024

Following a three-stage model of social perception and interaction toward virtual influencers, this paper (1) argues that when encountering virtual influencers, how audiences’ interpretation of social cues will influence their suspension of disbelief; (2) describes how audiences with different willingness of suspension of disbelief follow different patterns to form their social perception toward virtual influencers; and (3) articulates the source orientation model, which explains how the source toward which audiences orient their responses will affect their social interaction with virtual influencers.
Machine-Learning Approaches for Assessing Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) in Ghana, West Africa
Authors: Gilbert Jesse , Aryee Jeffrey , Adjei Mary
Published: January 2024

In the field of environmental health, assessing air pollution exposure has historically posed challenges, primarily due to sparse ground observation networks. To overcome this limitation, satellite remote sensing of aerosols provides a valuable tool for monitoring air quality and estimating particulate matter concentration (PM) at the surface. In this study, we employ two predictive models to estimate Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) levels over Ghana and selected localities from January 2003 to December 2019. Our investigation focuses on evaluating the capabilities of multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) models in predicting AOD levels. Additionally, we introduce a novel approach to constructing the MLR model by leveraging the ANN architecture. These models utilize meteorological variables as input, to facilitate accurate predictions. Despite Ghana's alarming air pollution health ranking and its substantial role in mortality, routine monitoring remains sparse. This research contributes a comprehensive sixteen-year assessment (2003-2019) of AOD at a 3 km resolution, obtained from MODIS Aqua and Terra satellites. The findings indicate that the southwestern part of the country displays elevated aerosol levels compared to other major cities. This phenomenon can be attributed to biogenic emissions, given the region's dense vegetation. Additionally, many small cities within this area are recognized as hotspots for surface mining operations, potentially contributing to increased local dust loadings in the atmosphere. Notably, the MLR model, implemented using the ANN model structure, outperformed the other utilized models. This endeavor aims to unravel the spatiotemporal distribution patterns of aerosols across Ghana, and its major urban hubs.
Drift Diffusion Modeling of Gender Differences in Mental Rotation Tasks that Emphasize either Speed or Accuracy
Authors: Liu Yaxin , Lourenco Stella F.
Published: January 2024

Meta-analytical data provide evidence for a gender difference favoring males on mental rotationtasks, especially under time pressure. Why might time pressure exaggerate this gender difference?Here we used drift diffusion modeling (DDM) to inform our understanding of the potentialmechanism(s) that underlie gender differences in mental rotation. Male and female adult participantsperformed a mental rotation task under conditions that emphasized either accuracy or speed. DDMperformance-related parameters (e.g., drift rates and decision thresholds) were analyzed. We foundthat although men and women performed comparably when the task emphasized accuracy, therewere robust gender differences in the speeded condition. Specifically, under time pressure, womenexhibited slower drift rates and lower decision thresholds compared to men. We interpret thesemodel parameters as reflecting differences in processing efficiency and response strategy,respectively. Implications of time pressure on gender differences in mental rotation performance arediscussed.
Why do people punish? Evidence for a range of strategic concerns
Authors: Claessens Scott , Atkinson Quentin , Raihani Nichola
Published: January 2024

Costly punishment is thought to be a key mechanism sustaining human cooperation. However, the motives for punitive behaviour remain unclear. Although often assumed to be motivated by a desire to convert cheats into cooperators, punishment is also consistent with other functions, such as levelling payoffs or improving one’s relative position. We used six economic games to tease apart different motives for punishment and to explore whether different punishment strategies were associated with personality variables, political ideology, and religiosity. We used representative samples from the United Kingdom and the United States (N = 2010) to estimate the frequency of different punishment strategies in the population. The most common strategy was to never punish: prosocial individuals and those scoring high in honesty humility were among the least punitive in our sample, while religious individuals and those scoring high for right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation were more punitive. For people who did punish, strategy use was more consistent with egalitarian motives than behaviour-change motives. Nevertheless, different punishment strategies were also associated with personality, social preferences, political ideology, and religiosity. Self-reports of behaviour in the games suggested that people have some insight into their punishment strategy. These findings highlight the multipurpose nature of human punishment and show how the different motives underpinning punishment decisions are linked with core character traits.
How do people interpret social norm messages? Semantic ambiguity and pragmatic inferences
Authors: Kuang Jinyi , Bicchieri Cristina
Published: January 2024

Social norm messaging is a behavior change strategy that seeks to elicit or change people’s perception of norms, namely, what most people do, to encourage conformity to socially beneficial behaviors. Yet, social messages are often under-informative and semantically ambiguous, inviting people to make self-serving inferences and avoid conforming to prosocial norms. Across three studies (N=1228), we show that people do not always interpret messages literally but ‘read between the lines’ and make pragmatic inferences from social norm information. Specifically, incongruence between the literal meaning of a message and context (Studies 1a & 1b) and semantic ambiguity introduced by quantifiers such as ‘majority’ (Study 2) encourage pragmatic inferences. These findings highlight the relationship between the linguistic features of social norm messages and the psychological processes that underlie social norm inferences.

A few localities world wide are known to have remainsof dinosaurs andothervertebrate animalsthat livedin thepolarlatitude region during the Mesozoic era. The Teete locality in the Vilyui River Basin, Yakutia (Russia) is one of the few known dinosaur localities in the Northern Hemisphere. In 1988, 2002–2012 school children participated in asearch for Early Cretaceous dinosaurs and other vertebrates at the Teete locality, and teeth and bones were collected and briefly described.Additional vertebrate remains, including lizards, salamanders, choristoderes, and tritylodonts, were discovered in Early Cretaceous sediments in Yakutia, which expanded the number of known locations wherethese animals lived in polar regions. In 2017–2019 comprehensive paleontological studies were conducted in Teete,during which time fragmentary skeletal elements and teeth of various dinosaur groups, as wellas bone elements from other vertebrates, were collected using surface collection methods. This study also yielded new genera of Mesozoic mammaliforms,mammals,and salamanders.The presence of astem salamander, basalturtle, and other Jurassic relicts in the Early Cretaceous vertebrate fauna of Teete suggests that the area was a refugium for these animals during that time. Further study of the Teete locality is expected to lead to the description of new dinosaur and other vertebrate taxa, as wellas to theacquisitionof new data on the adaptation of these animals to circumpolar conditions.

Biological reclamation of post-technogenic landscapes of Yakutia: problems and prospects
Authors: Mironova S. I. , Petrov A. A. , Nikolaev A. N.
Published: January 2024

In the context of intensive industrial development in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the issue of restoring technogenically disturbed areas is becoming increasingly relevant. Technogenic landscapes formed during the extraction of mineral deposits often have negative effects on the environment, and severe environmental conditions hinder the restoration of ecosystems affected by industrial activities. This study synthesized the long-term research results of scientists from the Research Institute of Applied Ecology of the North named after Prof., Dr. Savvinov (NEFU) on the study of succession and soil restoration processes in post-technogenic landscapes of placer deposits in the basins of the Anabar River and the Aldan River, as well as at the diamond and coal ore deposits in the Mirninsky, Aldansky and Neryungrinsky regions of Yakutia. Our study demonstrated that the effective restoration of technogenically disturbed landscapes is relevant to the use of seeds and planting materials from local flora in the biological stage of reclamation. On the dumps of ore deposits composed of rocks that are slowly weathered under hypergenesis conditions, effective restoration can be achieved only with the formation of technogenic soil. Due to the deficit of (decipher) PPP and (decipher)PSP, it is necessary to create a technology for the biological reclamation of disturbed lands with the use of alternative materials.

Published: January 2024

The Gili Trawangan tourism sector has the potential for extraordinary beauty, which can encourage the growth of other sectors such as culinary, accommodation, transportation, and tourism services. Seeing this potential, the NTB Provincial Government (Pemprov), as the holder of management rights, entered into a cooperation agreement with PT. Gili Trawangan Indah to build facilities and infrastructure by granting building use rights to the HPL. Unfortunately, PT. Gili Trawangan Indah was unable to fulfill the agreement, so the NTB Provincial Government proposed canceling the HGB, which was granted. Due to conditions in the field, HPL has been leased to other parties by PT. Gili Trawangan Indah, so HPL holders need to reorganize their assets. This research was carried out as normative legal research using statutory regulations and library materials. The results of this research indicate that the cancellation of the HGB was due to the fact that PT. Gili Trawangan Indah could not fulfill the agreement in the Decree on Granting Rights. The NTB Provincial Government can manage assets through a cooperation scheme based on an agreement or a land redistribution scheme coupled with the release of HPL. In cooperation, the party who controls the land can obtain use rights, business use rights, or building use rights according to the agreement.
 
Sektor pariwisata Gili Trawangan memiliki potensi keindahan luar biasa yang dapat mendorong pertumbuhan sektor lainnya seperti kuliner, penginapan, transportasi dan jasa wisata. Melihat potensi tersebut, Pemerintah Provinsi (Pemprov) NTB selaku pemegang Hak Pengelolaan melakukan perjanjian kerja sama dengan PT. Gili Trawangan Indah untuk membangun sarana dan prasarana dengan diberikannya Hak Guna Bangunan di atas HPL tersebut. Sayangnya, PT. Gili Trawangan Indah tidak dapat memenuhi perjanjian sehingga Pemprov NTB mengajukan pembatalan HGB dan dikabulkan. Kondisi di lapangan, HPL sudah disewakan dengan pihak-pihak lain oleh PT. Gili Trawangan Indah sehingga pemegang HPL perlu melakukan penataan asetnya kembali. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan peraturan perundangan dan bahan kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pembatalan HGB dikarenakan PT. Gili Trawangan Indah tidak dapat memenuhi perjanjian pada SK Pemberian Hak. Penataan aset dapat dilakukan oleh Pemprov NTB dengan skema kerja sama berdasarkan perjanjian atau skema redistribusi tanah yang dibarengi dengan pelepasan HPL. Dalam kerja sama, pihak yang menguasai tanah bisa mendapatkan hak pakai, hak guna usaha, atau hak guna bangunan sesuai perjanjian.
Unveiling Historical Trajectory and Civilisational Evolution: A Comparative Examination through the Lenses of Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler
Authors: Tahir Zhilwan , Nuri Abdulwahed Jala Nori
Published: January 2024

Abstract: This research article examines the comparative perspectives of Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler regarding the progression of history and the advancement of civilisations. This article aims to argue that Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler shared a similar perspective on the progression and decline of nations and civilisations. At the same time, they had different perspectives as they lived in distinct historical periods. The study posits that their perspectives on history, society and civilisation are characterised by a reduced level of subjectivity and a greater emphasis on rationality. The analysis reveals that despite their shared cyclical historical patterns, there exist notable disparities on the mechanisms behind the growth of civilisations and the conceptualisation of civilisation’s lifespan. The interpretations and definitions of history and civilisation put forward by Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler have had a profound impact on the field of human sciences, fostering notable advancements. To attain a high level of accuracy, this study uses qualitative research techniques as a means to accomplish its aims. Ibn Khaldun and Oswald Spengler possessed a comprehensive perspective of culture and history and the processes through which history unfolds. When discussing history, individuals tend to adopt a particular perspective and contemplate on the various facets of the subject matter. A comprehensive examination is warranted to enhance comprehension of their theoretical framework and grasp of the aforementioned topic..

Published: January 2024

Rift valley fever (RVF) is a viral zoonosis endemic to Africa and Arabian Peninsula, that primarily affects animals but can also cause illness in humans. The Rift valley fever virus belongs to the Bunyaviridae family and is transmitted primarily by the Aedes and Culex genera. In Humans, transmission can also occur through contact with blood, body fluids, or tissues and ingesting unpasteurised or uncooked milk of infected animals. The disease symptoms range from mild fever and flu-like symptoms to severe hemorrhagic fever, encephalitis, and death. This watching brief describes the outbreak of RVF in Mauritania in 2022. The first case reported on 25th August, was a 25-year-old male, an animal breeder from Tintane district, Hodh El Gharbi wilaya. As of 17 October 2022, a total of 47 confirmed cases including 23 deaths (CFR 49%)—mostly among animal breeders— have been reported from nine of Mauritania’s 15 wilayas, with a sex ratio of M:Fcases= 4.4:1 and median age of 22 years. There are currently no vaccines available for humans and treatment is only symptomatic. Prevention is by avoiding contact with blood & body fluids or tissues of infected animals, unsafe animal products and protection from mosquitoes. To prevent future outbreaks there is the need to promote safer animal husbandry and slaughter practices, strengthening of existing surveillance systems, implementation of vector control activities and restriction of movement of livestock from infected to uninfected areas.
Stress-strain state of rod with heterogeneous structure (Novosibirsk)
Authors: Mishchenko A. V.
Published: January 2024

Heterogeneous structures have a number of significant advantages over classical homogeneous. Their stress-strain state control allows to more effectively adapt the system to given thermal conditions and, as a result, additionally save weight and cost of the structure. The practical use of elements with heterogeneous structure, requires the creation of engineering calculation approaches with acceptable labor intensity, accuracy and versatility.

Purpose: The improvement of design methods implying physical relations in problems of thermal power deformation of rods with heterogeneous structure.

Design/methodology: The Timoshenko rod model design involves the approximation of transverse shear functions and membrane analogy of shear deformation in torsion. A threedimensional prismatic rod having a rectangular cross-section, is obtained from quasi-homogeneous parts (phases) made of various structural materials.

Research findings: Theoretical calculations are obtained for thermal power spatial bending with tension, transverse shear and torsion. These equations contain stiffness characteristics of zero, first- and second-order tensile bending, shear and torsional stiffnesses of the section.

Practical implication: These equations can be used to compactly formulate physical relations and the boundary value problem of spatial deformation of rods with heterogeneous structure.

Published: January 2024

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by headaches and multiple transient cerebral vasoconstrictions. Central nervous system (CNS) infections related to the varicella zoster virus (VZV) can complicate various neurological disorders, including cerebral vasculopathy. We present the case of a patient who complained of a severe headache without any other symptoms or focal neurological signs. Brain magnetic resonance angiography showed multiple focal stenoses, especially in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), and transcranial Doppler sonography revealed increased velocities in the MCA and right anterior cerebral artery. Initially, the headache was attributed to RCVS, and nimodipine infusion was initiated; however, the headache worsened. A cerebrospinal fluid study showed pleocytosis, increased protein levels, and positive polymerase chain reaction markers for VZV. No skin lesions or fever were observed during treatment. Our case emphasizes considering VZV meningitis as a cause of cerebral vasoconstriction, even in the absence of typical signs of CNS infection.

Published: January 2024

Since the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Decree Number 26 of 1989, namely regarding changing teacher positions to functional positions, teachers have been required to develop their careers. This explains that teachers are required to disseminate the results of Classroom Action Research through seminars, publications, or other means so that the research results can be known to the general public. In general, the dissemination of scientific work is carried out online through the Open Journal System system. However, with the increase in information technology, scientific work produced is prone to plagiarism due to the ease of accessing information. Partners are teachers at SMKN 3 Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands Province. Partners have the problem of a lack of knowledge about how to submit articles via the Open Journal System (OJS) system and plagiarism as well as how to check plagiarism in a scientific work. The method used is to provide knowledge about the Open Journal System (OJS) and Anti-Plagiarism systems and training using software or online Anti-Plagiarism checking applications which can be used for free. The results obtained are that partners understand how to use the OJS system, Plagiarism Checker and Turnitin applications, from 25 (twenty five) participants with a 'Very Good' score of 12%, a 'Good' score of 60%, a 'Medium' score of 28% and 'Not Appearing' value is 0%. Other results in the form of teaching materials and articles with draft status to the Community Service Journal will be published in 2024. The conclusion obtained is the increased capacity of partners in using the OJS system and plagiarism check applications.

The background to this research arises from the tendency for the learning process to be teacher-centered (one way or conventional), causing low student interest and resulting in unsatisfactory learning outcomes in class IV SD Negeri 201 Palembang. The research method used is quantitative with Quasi Experimental Design and Non-equivalent Control Group Design. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique on 35 class IV students at SD Negeri 201 Palembang. The results of the t-test (Independent Sample t-test) show a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.001 < 0.005, so Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the application of the Task-Based Language Teaching learning model has a significant effect on the English learning outcomes of class IV students at SD Negeri 201 Palembang.

Відновлювані гази, зокрема водень, відіграють одну з ключових ролей досягнення кліматичної нейтральності. Перехідним етапом введення у вжиток водневих технологій є використання газоводневих сумішей, що дозволить різко скоротити викиди парникових газів у атмосферу. Відповідно виникає потреба точного обліку витрати газоводневих сумішей, що ускладнюється значними змінами фізико-хімічних показників при збільшенні частки у водню в суміші. Таким чином для вимірювання витрати необхідно використовувати коефіцієнти стиснення для забезпечення точності вимірювань. В даній публікації проведено розрахунки коефіцієнтів стиснення для газоводневих сумішей з концентрацією водню до 20 % за допомогою емпіричних кореляційних методів. Отримані результати коефіцієнтів стиснення порівнюються з результатами розрахунків за методикою AGA8 для заключення про придатність даних методів для газоводневих сумішей.

Background

The Industry 4.0 and 5.0 models are dynamic, still under research and unsolved implementation for industrial manufacturers. The paradigm “Green Deal” goals launched by the European Commission is apparently difficult to define concrete action plans. The good practices of the manufacturing industry are punctual. The health crisis of COVID-19 proves the necessity of a solid economy, with customized fields of industry-engines, located on countries proximity or associated. The productive operational chain with a multi-sequence activity processed by human labor becomes critical.

Objective

The paper aims to identify Industry 4.0 and 5.0 concepts in both scientific character and pragmatic relevance, useful for productive organizations performing in the current business with difficult predictability environment.

Methods

The methodology approach the grounded theories, combining the inductive and deductive methods. Next to the data collection provided from other authors research, a qualitative method apply to several case studies as empirical methodology to explore the situations in which the designed model has not a single set of outcomes.

Results

The principles CE become useful by transferring their meaning of waste reduction from material resources to human resources whether measuring tools are applied. I4.0 and I5.0 technical factors become means to recuperate the human factor within a culture of human centricity values.

Conclusions

By applying the CE principles, a mutual benefit organization-society is revealed, organization add values by hiring smart specialist from society I5.0 previously trained by organizational professional reconversion with technical support I4.0. The contribution is measured by reducing the waste, hence the cost of community unemployment rate.
Mind-Matter Interaction: Unravelling the Enigma of Psychokinesis
Authors: Flores Ana B
Published: January 2024

This article delves into the phenomenon of Psychokinesis (PK) — the mind's supposed ability to influence physical systems without direct interaction. This paper traces PK's transition from mystical lore to a subject of rigorous scientific scrutiny, highlighting key historical developments and the pioneering work of early researchers like J.B. Rhine. Central to this exploration is the impact of quantum mechanics on the understanding of mind-matter interaction, with concepts such as the observer effect and entanglement providing theoretical frameworks that challenge conventional scientific paradigms. Despite skepticism and methodological challenges, the field has evolved, employing tools like Random Number Generators and theoretical models including Weak Quantum Theory (WQT) and the Model of Pragmatic Information (MPI) to conceptualize these phenomena. A focal point is the Correlation Matrix Method (CMM), a statistical tool used to examine correlations between psychological and physical variables, suggesting potential psychophysical interactions. The paper emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and advanced measurement technologies in parapsychological research. It advocates for an inclusive scientific methodology that balances empirical rigor with the exploration of unconventional phenomena, potentially transforming our understanding of consciousness and reality.
What Impact Does the COVID-19 Pandemic Era Have On the Incidence of Myocardial Infarction-Related Fatalities in Distinct Age Groups of Male and Female? A Comparison Study (2017-2022)
Authors: Kumar Dr Piyush , Anupama Advocate
Published: January 2024

Several studies, conducted earlier during the SARS, MERS, and recent COVID-19 pandemic, have indicated that coronavirus infection, particularly COVID-19 can lead to cardiac damage. There have been recorded cases of myocarditis or cardiomyopathy linked to COVID-19 vaccines, specifically those that use mRNA technology such as BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, primarily affecting males between the ages of 16 and 30. The prevalence and characteristics of sudden death due to myocardial infarction in various age groups of both males and females during the COVID-19 period have not been extensively examined as compared to the time before COVID-19. The aim of this study is to analyse and contrast the disparities in the average and proportion of abrupt fatalities associated with heart attacks (MI) in different age groups of males and females in the COVID-19 era and the time prior to the global outbreak. This study revealed that the maximum number of sudden deaths due to MI occurs at age 45 and above but below 60 years. The percent increase in mean sudden death due to MI in the Covid-19 period compared to the pre- COVID-19 period mean was highest in females (68.57%) of age groups 14 and above but below 18 years, while it was lowest in the males (9.51%) of the same age group. The lowest mean mortality, 38.5 (95% Conf. Interval-Mean-23.81 -53.19) due to MI during the study period was found in females in age groups 14 and above but below 18 years. The highest mean mortality was 9540.5 (95% Conf. Interval-Mean: 8551.93- 10529.07) due to MI during the study period observed in Male aged 45 and above but below 60 years. The overall percent increase in fatalities due to MI in 2022 compared to 2017 is greatest (88.46%) in females between 14 and 17 years, while the lowest is in females between 45 and 59 years (27.87%). In all age groups an increase in fatalities due to MI is seen in 2022 compared to 2017.
Concept of introverted space: is extroverted, multidimensional space an illusion?
Authors: Steinbach Ingo
Published: January 2024

The quantum-phase-field concept of matter is revisited with special emphasis on the introverted view of space. Extroverted space surrounds physical objects, while introverted space lies in between physical objects. Space between objects leads to a network structure of matter: a network in which one-dimensional spaces connect massive elementary particles.
