Published: June 2023

The research about strategy of empowerment communication to fish farmer was conducted in Koto Mesjid Village of Indonesia with the aim of formulating a communications strategy for fish farmer’s empowerment in the production and marketing of aquaculture efforts. The method for determining the strategy was designed based on the results of the analysis of communication behavior of fish farmers in empowerment activities around fish farmers, information access and control, production and marketing behavior, opinions from key informants, field facilitators, and fish farmers as administrators of PT Telkom's fostered partners. To facilitate strategy formulation, the design of a communication strategy uses a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. The results of the research explain that the formulation of the strategy for empowering fish farmers in Koto Mesjid Village is through participatory empowerment communication, including: (1) utilizing the power of communication networks in an effort to form cooperative institutions (2) increasing the capacity of fish farmers characteristics through training and mentoring activities (3) implementing aquaculture business by utilizing production facilities, using appropriate and sustainable technology; (4) increasing the capacity and optimizing the performance of field facilitator in accordance with the standard facilitator performance to facilitate togetherness and independence of aquaculture businesses (5) increasing access to production information and building broad market access so that they have a bargaining position on product prices and are sustainable with government support; (6) implementing regular evaluation and monitoring of production and marketing of aquaculture business activities.

Bir süredir evreni yöneten temel kanunlar üzerine çalışıyorum. Görünen o ki; herhangi bir fiziksel olguya neden olan en temel ve etkileyici ilke; Heisenberg'in Belirsizlik İlkesi, varlığın herhangi bir özelliğinin belirsizlik nedeniyle var olduğudur. Bu süreçte bilginin korunması üzerine düşünürken şunu fark ettim ki; bilgi, asla kaybolamaz; ama bir noktada alternatifi olmadığı için bize göre tamamen tanınmaz hale geliyor. Her türlü bilgi ve aranan bilgi bize göre bir noktadan sonra aynı hale geliyor. Duyarlılık sonsuza kadar artar ama kaybolmaz. Her hassasiyet seviyesi ayrıca daha yüksek seviyeye sahiptir; ki yani aslında mutlak bir koruma mümkün görünüyor.

‘European Intelligence’ From the Perspectives of Cognitive Psychology-Neurobiology: Why are the Europeans what they are Today?
Authors: Ayim-Aboagye Desmond
Published: June 2023

Black women and Black men gave birth to white children who were supposed to be brothers to Black children. But over thousands of years in isolation, white people developed fictitious theories to make themselves look different and distinct. The Neanderthals they tend to associate themselves with through sexual contact left no civilization, so it is difficult to judge the outcome of this sexual relationship. While the paintings in the caves in modern France look suspicious, Black people, on the other hand, built civilizations all over the planet: Ancient Egyptians, Nubians, the Incas, Ancient Rome, Mesopotamia, Indian Dravidians, etc. Evidence from history through the Roman Empire shows that White people were human beings like all others and, therefore, they did not treat them differently. The investigation used cognitive psychology and neurobiology perspectives to explain the successful experiences of Germanic tribes and the Slavs in Central Asia. The theoretical investigation uses existing data and argues that they are not distinct though there had been a mixture of genes with some tribes in Central Asia. Europeans' use of their local languages and the employment of scientific theories and methods of inquiry have something to do with their intelligence and overall success in the world. The relegation of the religion's authority and the replacement with reason and science methods has enabled Europeans to become successful with cognitive intelligence. Intelligence has something to do with knowledge acquisition with the blood language and sciences in imbibing knowledge. Where human beings use their local languages and the addition of the methods of scientific inquiry, there will be marginal differences in intelligence acquisition. The discoveries the researchers Paul Broca and Carl Wernicke made with neurobiology show that language speaking is a complex human phenomenon that human beings should take seriously in daily discourses. No wonder it gave the Europeans unique problems when they had to depend on Latin to imbibe knowledge and use it to carry out responsibilities. Intelligence has something to do with the blood language, local language, or culturally provided language in imbibing knowledge in the physical world. Scientific theories and appropriate scientific methods should be driven by the use of Mathematics and logic. Emerging technological societies, such as China, Malaysia, Singapore, etc., testify to these modern methods of reaching progress in education.

Sayonara BCS: Realization of Room Temperature Superconductivity as a result of a First Order Phase Transition
Authors: Zen N.
Published: June 2023

By making periodic thru-holes in a suspended film, the phonon system can be modified. Motivated by the BCS theory, the technique---so-called phonon engineering---was applied to a metallic niobium sheet. It was found that its electrical resistance dropped to zero at 175 K, and the zero-resistance state persisted up to 290 K in the subsequent warming process. Despite the initial motivation, neither these high transition temperatures nor the phase transition with thermal hysteresis can be accounted for by the BCS theory. Therefore, we abandon the BCS theory. Instead, it turns out that the metallic holey sheet is partly oxidized to form a niobium--oxygen square lattice, which has points of resemblance to a copper--oxygen plane, the fundamental component of cuprate high-Tc superconductors. Therefore, the pairing mechanism underlying this study should be related to that of cuprate high-Tc superconductors, which we may not yet understand. In addition to the electrical results of zero resistance, the holey sheet exhibited a decrease in magnetization upon cooling, i.e., the Meissner effect. Moreover, the remnant magnetization was clearly detected at 300 K, which can only be attributed to persistent currents flowing in a superconducting sample. Thus, this study meets the established criteria for a conclusive demonstration of true superconductivity. Finally, the superconducting transition with the unambiguous thermal hysteresis is discussed. According to Halperin, Lubensky, and Ma, or HLM for short, any superconducting transition must always be first order with thermal hysteresis because of the intrinsic fluctuating magnetic field. The HLM theory is very compatible with the highly oriented system harboring two-dimensional superconductivity.

Attention-driven modulation of auditory cortex activity during selective listening in a multi-speaker setting
Authors: Puschmann Sebastian , Regev Mor , Fakhar Kayson , Zatorre Robert , Thiel Christiane
Published: June 2023

Real-world listening settings often consist of multiple concurrent sound streams. To limit perceptual interference during selective listening, the auditory system segregates and filters the relevant sensory input. Previous work provided evidence that auditory cortex is critically involved in this process, and selectively gates attended input towards subsequent processing stages. We studied at which level of auditory cortex processing this filtering of attended information occurs using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a naturalistic selective listening task. Forty-five human listeners (of either sex) attended to one of two continuous speech streams, presented either concurrently or in isolation. Functional data were analyzed using an inter-subject analysis to assess stimulus-specific components of ongoing auditory cortex activity. Our results suggest that stimulus-related activity in primary auditory cortex and the adjacent planum temporale are hardly affected by attention, whereas brain responses at higher stages of the auditory cortex processing hierarchy become progressively more selective for the attended input. Consistent with these findings, a complementary analysis of stimulus-driven functional connectivity further demonstrated that information on the to-be-ignored speech stream is shared between primary auditory cortex and the planum temporale, but largely fails to reach higher processing stages. Our findings suggest that the neural processing of ignored speech cannot be effectively suppressed at the level of early cortical processing of acoustic features, but is gradually attenuated once the competing speech streams are fully segregated.
SOCIAL MOBILITY PATTERNS IN URBAN COMMUNITIES
Authors: Risqi Amadea
Published: June 2023

The impact of globalization on social change is part of global developments that are inevitable from time to time. However, these changes become a problem when they cause negative consequences in various aspects. Limited facilities and infrastructure and a lack of jobs in the village caused villagers to move to other areas. This journal aims to analyze and understand patterns of social mobility in urban communities and their implications for social development. Social mobility is changing the social status of individuals or groups in society that involves vertical movement between social layers. This research attempts to answer the question of how patterns of social mobility occur in urban society, what factors influence it, and what impact it has on social equality. The research method used in this journal is a qualitative research method of identification by conducting literature analysis and interviews related to patterns of social mobility. The research respondents comprised individuals from various social strata in urban society, namely Am (indigenous people) and Ag (urban people). The collected data is analyzed using interpretive analysis techniques to understand the meaning behind social mobility and the factors that influence it.

The research respondents comprised individuals from various social strata in urban society, namely Am (indigenous people) and Ag (urban people). The collected data is analyzed using interpretive analysis techniques to understand the meaning behind social mobility and the factors that influence it. The study results show that various patterns of social mobility occur in urban communities, which are influenced by several factors, including education, economy, employment, and access to resources and social networks. The results of this research can be the basis for formulating more effective strategic policies in increasing social mobility and reducing social inequality in urban areas. This research is also a foundation for further research on social mobility in an increasingly complex context.
The Indispensability of Celebrity on Consumer’s Purchasing Behaviour in the Brewery Industry in Cameroon
Authors: Nkiendem Felix , Sundjo Fabien , Nkemkiafu Ayankeng Godlove
Published: June 2023

The modern marketing environment has introduced a new paradigm for advertising referred to as celebrity endorsements. These forms of advertising influence consumers' pre-purchase attitudes and draw attention to a product. This study consequently sought to assess the effect of celebrity endorsement on customers’ buying behaviour in the soft drink industry. Specifically the study purport to investigate the effect of (a) celebrity match (b) celebrity attractiveness (c) celebrity credibility and (d) celebrity previous endorsement on consumer buying behaviour. To accomplish these objectives, data was sourced from customers of brewery’s products using simple random sampling technique. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlative research design and inferential statistics. The research findings revealed that celebrity endorsement has a positive and significant effect on consumer’s buying behaviour in the soft drink industry as indicated by the adjusted R-squared of 0.798. This suggest that 79.8% variation in consumer buying behaviour is explained by celebrity match, celebrity attractiveness, celebrity Credibility and Celebrity previous endorsement at 1% level of significance. Since celebrity endorsement has a significant role on consumer’s buying behaviour in the soft drink industry, we recommend that advertisers should match the celebrity credibility, celebrity attractiveness and celebrity previous endorsement by choosing, and shaping the celebrity to match with the target market expectations.
Fragmented Institutions in Promoting Investment in Indonesia: Does Interactive Governance Make a Difference?
Authors: Susilo Yulianti , Prasojo Eko , Jannah Lina Miftahul
Published: June 2023

In many countries, investment promotion is fragmented across multiple government agencies. This can lead to duplication or overlapping, ineffective efforts, a lack of coordination, and confusing guidance for potential investors who are interested in foreign direct investment in the host country. Interactive governance is a process that brings together different stakeholders to address complex problems. It can be used to overcome the challenges posed by fragmented institutions in investment promotion. This paper examines the use of interactive governance in promoting Foreign Direct Investment in Indonesia. Looking at multiple institutions actively taking part in promoting investment abroad, this paper has identified some fragmented institutions that have similar responsibilities for investment promotion shared between the Ministry of Investment and several other government agencies. This study lists various governmental and private organizations that have actively played their role in promoting investment abroad. The primary hypothesis of this study is that interactive governance can improve coordination and reduce duplication in multiple public and private institutions in investment promotion. The secondary hypothesis is that interactive governance can create more favorable investment promotion tasks shared within public government institutions that have more resources to do it. The study is linked to theory by drawing on the literature on interactive governance and investment promotion. The paper concludes that interactive governance could be used as an effective way to overcome the challenges posed by fragmented institutions in promoting investment. It can help to improve coordination, reduce ineffective efforts, and create a more favorable investment climate for potential investors.
Social Capital Resource Attributes Affecting Performance in Deposit-taking Savings and Credit Co-operatives in Kenya

Published: June 2023

The paper reports the findings of research on the role of social capital resource attributes on the performance of deposit-taking savings and credit co-operative societies in a developing country context. The research was premised on the logic of the resource-based view that postulates that resources are the basis of performance variances across firms in the same industry. In addition, the study constructs are supported by the institutional theory and the social capital theory. Three attributes of social capital resources, specifically networking, reputation, and culture, were used to operationalize the construct. Data was obtained from representatives of functional areas involved in strategic decision-making in 38 deposit-taking SACCOs in Nairobi, Kenya. Data was collected using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire whose computed Cronbach's alpha score showed that the instrument was reliable and internally consistent at above α=0.9. The study recorded a response rate of 71%. The study found that the three attributes of social capital are embedded in the deposit-taking SACCOs to a high extent and contribute towards improved performance of the deposit-taking SACCOs by explaining 51.3% of the variation of performance. The findings contribute towards explaining the strategic management process through which the components of social capital contribute towards the performance of the sampled organizations and raise several implications on relevant strategic management practices suitable to create and sustain social capital resources for enhanced organizational performance.

Published: June 2023

As we move towards a decarbonized grid, reliance on weather-dependent energy increases as does exposure to prolonged natural resource shortages known as energy droughts. Compound energy droughts occur when two or more predominant renewable energy sources simultaneously are in drought conditions. In this study we present a methodology and dataset for examining compound wind and solar energy droughts as well as the first standardized benchmark of energy droughts across the Continental United States (CONUS) for a 2020 infrastructure. Using a recently developed dataset of simulated hourly plant level generation which includes thousands of wind and solar plants, we examine the frequency, duration, magnitude, and seasonality of energy droughts at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. Results are presented for 15 Balancing Authorities (BAs), regions of the U.S.\ power grid where wind and solar are must-take resources by the power grid and must be balanced. Compound wind and solar droughts are shown to have distinct spatial and temporal patterns across the CONUS. BA-level load is also included in the drought analysis to quantify events where high load is coincident with wind and solar droughts. We find that energy drought characteristics are regional and the longest droughts can last from 16 to 37 continuous hours, and up to 6 days. The longest hourly energy droughts occur in Texas while the longest daily droughts occur in California. Compound energy drought events that include load are more severe on average compared to events that involve only wind and solar. In addition, we find that compound high load events occur more often during compound wind and solar droughts that would be expected due to chance. The insights obtained from these findings and the summarized characteristics of energy drought provide valuable guidance on grid planning and storage sizing at the regional scale.
Developmental differences in uncertainty-driven sampling behavior
Authors: de Eccher Martina , Mundry Roger , Mani Nivedita
Published: June 2023

Much recent work has shown that children actively shape their learning progress by choosing what, when and from whom they want to learn. However less is known about whether children are sensitive to gaps in their knowledge, and whether they selectively solicit information about items they previously indicated having a knowledge gap about. In a cross-situational word-learning task, we asked 5-year-olds, 6-9-year-olds and adults to estimate their knowledge of newly learned word-object associations. We then examined whether participants preferentially chose to hear the labels of objects they reported not knowing the label of and whether such uncertainty-driven sampling behavior led to improved learning. We found that participants in all age groups were sensitive to gaps in their knowledge of the word-object associations, i.e., were more likely to say they had correctly indicated the label of an object when they were correct, relative to when they were incorrect. Furthermore, 6-9-year-olds and adults were more likely to sample objects whose labels they reported not knowing, while 5-year-olds were equally likely to sample objects whose labels they reported not knowing and knowing. In other words, older children and adults displayed sampling behavior directed at reducing knowledge gaps and uncertainty, while younger children did not. However, while all age groups showed evidence of having learned the word-object associations, participants who displayed more uncertainty-driven sampling behavior were not more accurate at test. Our findings underscore the role of uncertainty in driving 6-9-year-olds’ and adults’ sampling behavior and speak to the mechanisms underlying previously reported performance boosts in active learning.
Rare and extreme outcomes in risky choice
Authors: Mason Alice , Ludvig Elliot Andrew , Spetch Marcia L , Madan Christopher R
Published: June 2023

Many real-world decisions involving rare events also involve extreme outcomes. Despite this confluence, decisions-from-experience research has focused on the impact of rare but non-extreme outcomes. In those situations, people typically choose as if they underestimate the probability of a rare outcome happening. Separately, people have been shown to overestimate the probability of an extreme outcome happening. Here, for the first time, we examine the confluence of these two competing biases in decisions from experience. In a between-subjects behavioural experiment, we examine people’s risk preferences for rare extreme outcomes and for rare non-extreme outcomes. When outcomes are both rare and extreme, people’s risk preferences shift away from traditional risk patterns for rare events: they underweight those extreme and rare events less. We simulate these results using a small-sample model of decision-making that accounts for the overweighting of extreme events. The additive effect of these decision biases on risk preferences reveals that to understand real-world risk for rare events we must also consider the extremity of the outcomes.
Differences and commonalities of idea density in patients with schizophrenia and major depression: a natural spoken language approach
Authors: Nagels Arne
Published: June 2023

Although symptoms of schizophrenia and major depressive disorder differ in important ways, both diagnostic groups present with symptoms of formal thought disorder (FTD) and show semantic deficits, such as in word generation. Past research has had inconclusive findings concerning lower semantic complexity scores in natural spoken language of patients with schizophrenia. In the present study, we focus on a comparison of language production in diagnostic groups with respect to a) semantic complexity, and b) sentence length, and investigate their correlations with psychopathological symptomology (e.g., severity of FTD) and neuro- psychological performance (e.g., verbal fluency). Picture descriptions by patients with ICD-10 schizophrenia (n = 49) or major depression (n = 44) and healthy controls (n = 36) were ob- jectively analyzed with respect to a) ‘idea density’ (ID) and b) ‘mean length of utterance.’ Group comparisons revealed a significantly lower ID in schizophrenia patients. Additionally, ID was transdiagnostically associated with the severity of objective negative and positive FTD symptoms, and vocabulary size and performance in tests of verbal fluency and digit span. However, individual variation in those variables was associated with ID mainly in the depression group. Our results highlight the role of ID as a valid, psycholinguistically motivated instrument in psychiatric research.

School readiness is highly salient in South Africa (SA), a country with extreme and persistent inequities that undermine early childhood development. The aim of this short-term longitudinal study was to identify social ecological factors influencing school readiness in young children from low-income settings in Cape Town, SA. Participants were 152 3-5-year-old children and their primary adult caregiver from low-income settings. Hierarchical linear regressions found that, compared to home- and community-level factors, child-level factors were the strongest predictors of scores on the International Development and Early Learning Assessment (IDELA, total and subscale scores for literacy, numeracy, social emotional and motor). At the child level, attending ECCE services was the strongest predictor, followed by early numeracy and age. Household socioeconomic status only predicted social emotional scores, and dysfunction in the parent-child relationship predicted literacy and total scores. These findings contribute to a contextually relevant understanding of school readiness in low-income SA settings.
When Reality Does Not Meet Expectations: What Sexual Minority Assigned-Male-at-Birth Adolescents Learn from Using Geosocial Networking Apps
Authors: Wongsomboon Val
Published: June 2023

Use of geosocial networking (GSN) apps for romantic and sexual purposes in sexual minority assigned-male-at-birth (SM-AMAB) adolescents is increasingly common. Understanding their app use experiences and perspectives can help inform sex education. Guided by the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT), this mixed-methods study examined SM-AMAB adolescents’ initial expectations of GSN apps (“gratifications sought”), whether their experience matched their expectations (“gratifications obtained”), attitudes toward GSN apps, and lessons learned from app use. Participants were 218 SM-AMAB adolescents (aged 15–18; 94% cisgender men) in the United States who had used GSN apps in the past. The most cited gratifications sought were sex, romance, friendship, and a combination of those. Adolescents tended to report negative or unfulfilled experiences (unobtained gratifications) from GSN apps. However, those who expected sex (vs. love or friendship) were more likely to obtain gratifications, and those who obtained gratifications tend to perceive the apps as more helpful. Regardless of whether they obtained gratifications, participants reported learning useful lessons, particularly safety-related skills. They also reported acquiring interpersonal skills and a better understanding of online relationships, the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community, and their sexuality. The findings have important developmental and health implications for educators and stakeholders working with SM-AMAB adolescents.
Association between age and subjective economic hardship across the income distribution in Europe
Authors: Ilmakunnas Ilari , Uotinen Joonas , Vaalavuo Maria
Published: June 2023

Previous studies have shown that older people are more satisfied with their finances than younger individuals, even if they have a low income. We examine to what extent this can be observed when studying the risk of subjective economic hardship among the adult population in 28 European countries. Our study describes the association between age and the risk of subjective economic hardship and how the association varies by level of income. Additionally, we examine the role of savings, tenure status, and debt in explaining the association. The data come from the 2020 EU-SILC survey and its ad-hoc module on over-indebtedness, consumption, and wealth. We estimate logistic regression models that control for country variation. The findings indicate that there are large differences between European countries regarding the risk of subjective economic hardship and how it varies by age. We show that in Europe as a whole and among individuals with the same level of income within countries, older people have a lower risk of subjective economic hardship than younger individuals, regardless of level of income. It seems that this is largely explained by older people more often being able to use their savings to maintain their standard of living. The results highlight the importance of using both objective and subjective measures to assess economic well-being, especially in comparisons of different population groups.
Social Innovation in Education
Authors: Maldonado-Mariscal Karina , Schröder Antonius
Published: June 2023

This article presents different perspectives of innovation in education and problematizes the lack of concepts, integration and measurement of social innovation in education. A definition of social innovation in education introduces three different dimensions of social innovation in education: level of innovation, type of education where innovation emerges and types of social innovation in education. However, an open question in social innovation in education that remains open is how to analyse educational innovation with a systemic approach. Further empirical research on social innovation in education is crucial to better understand how innovation in education takes place, how actors co-create for new models of education, how innovation networks in education are built and what new forms of governance in education are being implemented in different countries.

Published: June 2023

Bangun purba timur jaya village is one of the villages in Rokan Hulu, Riau Province which has 7 villages or sub-districts with a total size of 150.15 Km2 and is still categorized as Developing Village[1]. The Bangun Purba Timur Jaya Village Cooperative only focuses on savings and loans and has not been able to build more innovative cooperative enterprises, as well as SMEs, almost all existing SMEs are still individuals, making palm sugar to sell to the market or to merchants is one of the main commodities and a source of income for the population in Bangun Purba Timur Jaya Village. Most people are still independent in their business in making palm sugar, and no one has grouped or formed a cooperative. The results of the discussion were that the author found that efforts to develop products towards more high selling value still cannot be realized by the community because there are no village cooperative efforts to maximize individual-based SMEs into joint business groups, which are later expected to be able to independently increase production.
