Semantically related gestures move alike: Towards a distributional semantics of gesture kinematics
Authors: Pouw Wim , de Wit Jan , Bögels Sara , Rasenberg Marlou , Milivojevic Branka , Asli
Published: January 2021

Most manual communicative gestures that humans produce cannot be looked up in a dictionary, as these manual gestures inherit their meaning in large part from the communicative context and are not conventionalized. However, it is understudied to what extent the communicative signal as such — bodily postures in movement, or kinematics — can inform about gesture semantics. Can we construct, in principle, a distribution-based semantics of gesture kinematics, similar to how word vectorization methods in NLP (Natural language Processing) are now widely used to study semantic properties in text and speech? For such a project to get off the ground, we need to know the extent to which semantically similar gestures are more likely to be kinematically similar. In study 1 we assess whether semantic word2vec distances between the conveyed concepts participants were explicitly instructed to convey in silent gestures, relate to the kinematic distances of these gestures as obtained from Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). In a second director-matcher dyadic study we assess kinematic similarity between spontaneous co-speech gestures produced between interacting participants. Participants were asked before and after they interacted how they would name the objects. The semantic distances between the resulting names were related to the gesture kinematic distances of gestures that were made in the context of conveying those objects in the interaction. We find that the gestures’ semantic relatedness is reliably predictive of kinematic relatedness across these highly divergent studies, which suggests that the development of an NLP method of deriving semantic relatedness from kinematics is a promising avenue for future developments in automated multimodal recognition. Deeper implications for statistical learning processes in multimodal language are discussed.

Stability and Change of Perceived Characteristics of Major Life Events
Authors: Haehner Peter , Kritzler Sarah , Fassbender Ina , Luhmann Maike
Published: January 2021

The occurrence of major life events is associated with changes in well-being and personality. To better understand these effects, it is important to consider how individuals perceive major life events. Although theories such as appraisal theory and affective adaptation theory suggest that event perceptions change over time and that these changes are relevant for personality and well-being, stability and change of perceived event characteristics have not been systematically examined. This paper aims to fill this gap using data from a longitudinal study (N = 619 at T1). In this study, participants rated nine perceived characteristics of the same major life event up to five times within one year. We estimated rank-order and mean-level stabilities as well as intraclass correlations of these life event characteristics with continuous time models. Furthermore, we computed continuous time models for the stability of affective well-being and the Big Five personality traits to generate benchmarks for the interpretation of the stability of the life event characteristics. Rank-order stabilities for the life event characteristics were lower than for the Big Five, but higher than for affective well-being. Most of the variance in life event characteristics was explained by between-person differences. Furthermore, we found a significant mean-level increase for the life event characteristic change in world views and a significant decrease for extraordinariness. These mean-level changes are in line with the meaning-making literature and affective adaptation theory, whereas the rather high rank-order stability of the life event characteristics challenges the importance of reappraisal processes of major life events.
Group Sequential Designs: A Tutorial
Authors: Lakens Daniel , Pahlke Friedrich , Wassmer Gernot
Published: January 2021

This tutorial illustrates how to design, analyze, and report group sequential designs. In these designs, groups of observations are collected and repeatedly analyzed, while controlling error rates. Compared to a fixed sample size design, where data is analyzed only once, group sequential designs offer the possibility to stop the study at interim looks at the data either for efficacy or futility. Hence, they provide greater flexibility and are more efficient in the sense that due to early stopping the expected sample size is smaller as compared to the sample size in the design with no interim look. In this tutorial we illustrate how to use the R package 'rpact' and the associated Shiny app to design studies that control the Type I error rate when repeatedly analyzing data, even when neither the number of looks at the data, nor the exact timing of looks at the data, is specified. Specifically for *t*-tests, we illustrate how to perform an a-priori power analysis for group sequential designs, and explain how to stop the data collection for futility by rejecting the presence of an effect of interest based on a beta-spending function. Finally, we discuss how to report adjusted effect size estimates and confidence intervals. The recent availability of accessible software such as 'rpact' makes it possible for psychologists to benefit from the efficiency gains provided by group sequential designs.
How Do Different Frames Affect Public Support for Climate Change Policy: Evidence from a Multi-Country Conjoint Study
Authors: Dasandi Niheer , Graham Hilary , Hudson David , Mikhaylov Slava Jankin , vanHeerde-Hudson Jennifer , Watts Nick
Published: January 2021

This study tests the effects of different framings of climate change messages on public support for mitigation policy using conjoint survey experiments conducted in five countries: China, Germany, India, the UK, and the USA. We consider four different types of climate change frames: valence (positive vs. negative), theme (economic, environmental, health, and migration), scale (individual, community, country, and global), and timeframe (2050, 2030, now). The analysis also tests the effects of these different frames on individuals who are not concerned by the effects of climate change. Our results show a positive framing, in terms of the opportunities they provide, increases support for mitigation policies. We also find that an environmental and health framing of climate change increases public support for mitigation, while a migration framing reduces public support, and an economic framing has no effect. The results also show that framing climate change at a global level elicit greater public support for mitigation than at an individual level, and discussing the current impacts of climate change leads to greater support than future impacts. Our analysis also finds that a positive framing and a health framing of climate change also increase support for mitigation policies among those not concerned by the effects of climate change.

Published: January 2021

Public health guidelines for resistance training emphasize a minimal effective dose intending for individuals to engage in these behaviors long-term. However, few studies have adequately examined the longitudinal time-course of strength adaptations to resistance training. The aim of this study was to examine the time-course of strength development from minimal dose resistance training in a large sample through retrospective training records from a private international exercise company. Data was available for analysis from 14,690 participants (60% female; aged 48±11 years) having undergone minimal dose resistance training (1x/week, single sets to momentary failure of six exercises) up to 352 weeks (~6.8 years) in length. Linear-log growth models examined strength development over time allowing random intercepts and slopes by participant. All models demonstrated a robust linear-log relationship with the first derivatives (i.e., changes in strength with time) trending asymptotically such that by ~1-2 years strength had practically reached a ‘plateau’. Sex, bodyweight, and age had minimal interaction effects. However, substantial strength gains were apparent; approximately ~30-50% gains over the first year reaching ~50-60% of baseline 6 years later. It is unclear if the ‘plateau’ can be overcome through alternative approaches, or whether over the long-term strength gains differ. Considering this, our results support public health recommendations for minimal dose resistance training for strength adaptations in adults.

Height, stem, number of leaves, dry and wet weight of roots and plants, root length were observed. Then data analysis with ANOVA with the continued test of 5% Duncan was performed. The results of the effect of cocopeat and rice husk media was there was no a significant effect on the treatment parameters of seed height, number of leaves, dry and wet weight of roots and plants, and root length.
Law Enforcement and Human Rights (The Role of Muhammadiyah in the Humanitarian Case in Kendari)
Authors: Alifuddin Muhammad , Suarni Suarni
Published: January 2021

This research aims to describe the role of Muhammadiyah in law enforcement and human rights in Kendari. The main problem that becomes the focus of this study is: what is the role and form of Muhammadiyah involvement in encouraging human rights law enforcement efforts for the 26th September 2019 case in Kendari, and what factors have pushed Muhammadiyah to be involved in this problem? The study of the problem is based on qualitative data obtained through in-depth interviews, observation and document study. The collected data were analyzed using a data analysis mechanism developed by Miles and Hubermen combined with Von Eckartsberg's hermeneutic phenomenological approach. This study concludes: (1). Muhammadiyah as a social element of Islam in Kendari plays a significant role in encouraging the law enforcement process for humanitarian cases that cause the loss of human life. The indicator of this significant role is the success of the Muhammadiyah Advocate Team in bringing and forwarding the related cases to the general court until the Panel of Judges sentenced the defendant to 4 (years) in prison. Second: the form of Muhammadiyah's involvement in cases of law and human rights violations in Kendari is to provide assistance to victims and witnesses and to oversee the law enforcement process down to the court level. Third: the serious efforts shown by Muhammadiyah elements in guarding the process and law enforcement on the 26 September 2019 case cannot be separated from the basic ideology of the Muhammadiyah movement, namely the preaching of amar maruf nahi munkar.

Published: January 2021

Brand image is a representation of the overall perception of a brand and is formed from information and knowledge of that brand. Having a positive brand image for educational institutions in today's global competition is very important. The existence of a brand image is an alternative in winning the education marketing competition. A positive brand image is formed from the continuous role of various elements of stakeholders in educational institutions. Madrasah Aliyah Al-Ikhlas Ujung Bone is one of the private educational institutions established in the pesantren environment, which has a very good brand image. The indicator appears from the high public interest in these educational institutions. Even though they have a brand image, there is no visible role of school residents in building this brand image. This is the reason behind this research. The type of research used is qualitative research, data collection methods in the form of observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques are data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study were related to the role of school members in building image bran, namely: 1) the characteristics of the brand image in Madrasah Aliyah Al-Ikhlas Ujung Bone, namely the existence of a strong image of the maker, the image of the user and the image of production. 2) the role of school members in building brand image, namely forming perceptions, maintaining perceptions, and changing perceptions.
TEACHER’S LEADERSHIP COMPETENCY IN MANAGING ONLINE INSTRUCTION DURING THE PANDEMIC DISRUPTION IN INDONESIA
Authors: Sudarmo Sudarmo , Muslimah Muslimah
Published: January 2021

Since COVID-19 shocked the world, all business activities experienced an enormous impact, including in the field of education. UNESCO advised the world to ease the pandemic's impact on world education continuity with distance learning policies to overcome this disruption. Since then, pandemic affected countries experienced difficulties implementing that distance learning to respond to the policy. In this regard, this paper was carried out to identify additional instructional leadership competencies for teachers in managing learning in a pandemic. Evidence from the study of education shows that learning in disruption time is closely related to teachers' management in innovating such high technological virtual learning. To find answers, we conducted preliminary readings of the relevant literature. Next, we analyzed that information qualitatively by exploring what teacher instruction management is applicable during the pandemic. Then, we found that additional teaching leadership competencies can be adopted to support students learning in virtual approaches such as reflective opportunities, increasing truth among teachers and students, keeping curiosity habits, building productive communication, initiative habit, and more listening to understand others. Those additional teaching leadership competencies are useful to any party interested in supporting students learning in the pandemic disruption.

CREST syndrome is rare autoimmune disease causing calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly and telangiectasias. We present a case of an eighty-two year old female with CREST syndrome who presented to our clinic with atrial fibrillation and prohibitive bleeding risk. Managing stroke risk in atrial fibrillation is essential to minimize the morbidity and mortality of the condition. Those with CREST syndrome presenting with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding may require alternatives to anticoagulation. Recently, the left atrial appendage occluder device became widely used to manage patients at increased risk for bleeding. The device provides a safe and efficacious alternative in lowering atrial fibrillation associated stroke risk. Our patient underwent uncomplicated implantation of the left atrial appendage occluder device. She was closely monitored for one year where she remained stroke free and had one minor episode of gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Virtual reality technology and physical distancing: A review on limiting human interaction in tourism
Authors: ATSIZ Ozan
Published: January 2021

While the COVID-19 pandemic has been influencing almost all industries since the end of the first quarter of 2020, its impact appears to be more prominent in the tourism industry. Extant research emphasizes that this effect will continue and individuals abstain from travel to avoid being among other people. To maintain physical distancing and recover the tourism industry, virtual reality technology has been adopted to give travelers the opportunity to visit certain destinations and try products or services, which can be a useful tool to consider physical distancing in tourism. Further to this, this research reviews that tourist destinations and tourism businesses such as accommodation, food and beverage, and museums can utilize virtual reality technology to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Furthermore, COVID-19 can be seen as a chance for both the industry and the destination to market their products and services. Therefore, this technology will be extremely helpful for the revival of tourism post-COVID-19.
The Science of Politics: Relevance to African Social Systems
Authors: Muhibbu-Din Mahmudat Olawunmi
Published: January 2021

ABSTRACT The paper examines the debate on science of politics and its relevance to African social formations. The scientific approach as applied in the natural science experiments is not replicable in the study of social phenomena. Scientific study of social phenomenon is limited and not generalizable like the pure sciences such as mathematics or engineering. This work examines the theoretical debate around the possibility or otherwise of a universally valid social science, the tyranny of Western social sciences and African social reality, and the imperative of developing independent African scholarship responsive to local social realities. Historical and explorative qualitative research design is used. Findings show statistical approach and comparative methods have made significant contribution to the scientific study of social reality. Nevertheless, the nature of what is studied is rooted in cultural peculiarities, and cannot be universal. Western social science theories are Eurocentric and teleological. African scholarship needs socially relevant theories for advancing precepts, theories with cultural imprint relevant to local social realities.

The Role of ICT-Enabled Social Enterprise for Promoting Social Investment
Authors: Lipparini Fiorenza , Phillips Joshua
Published: January 2021

Europe is facing unprecedented challenges, from globalisation to migratory flows, changing family structures, ageing populations, inequality and social exclusion, unemployment, and so on. To meet these challenges, we need to modernise EU social protection systems by expanding the social investment dimension of social spending, while taking advantage of technological advancements and multi-stakeholder partnerships to drive change in the welfare system. Within this context, this chapter focuses on the role of Information Communication Technology (ICT) enabled social enterprises for promoting social investment. First, we outline the social enterprise landscape in Europe, going beyond fuzzy concepts to highlight the key characteristics of social enterprises that make them important for social change. Second, we outline key ways in which social enterprises are using ICT in their activities to achieve varied socio-economic goals: from using social media to scale up, to improving organisational management, and expanding service offerings in healthcare, education, the labour market, and other social fields. Our analysis is based on findings from our study on the role of social enterprises in delivering ICT enabled social innovation initiatives promoting social investment approaches, carried out by the authors in the framework of the European Commission’s ICT-Enabled Social Innovation (IESI) project. (See https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/iesi.) We find that ICT-enabled social enterprises are particularly important for social investment, given their ability to combine technological and social innovation, and their focus on meeting community-specific needs that can be scaled up. We encourage research and policy commitments to further test and validate how social enterprises can catalyse public-private partnerships for the delivery of public goods to safeguard our Social Europe.
