DIMENSIONAMENTO DE ANALISE DE FALHA E VIDA EM FADIGA DE UM VENTILADOR CENTRÍFUGO
Authors:   , Lima Lúcio Miranda
Published: June 2023

A monografia descreve um estudo analítico numérico realizado em um exaustor industrial, que falhou devido à fadiga durante sua operação e precisou ser substituído. O objetivo principal do estudo foi identificar a região onde ocorreu a concentração de tensão e quantificar o tempo ou o número de ciclos que a peça suportou até a falha. Para atingir esse objetivo, todas as cargas mecânicas envolvidas na operação do ventilador centrífugo foram calculadas, incluindo momento fletor, força cortante e força axial no componente. Por meio de análise analítica, foi possível identificar uma região com maior solicitação mecânica estática, que apresentou uma sensibilidade elevada a entalhes, levando à fadiga mecânica. Posteriormente, uma análise numérica utilizando o método de elementos finitos foi realizada para corroborar os cálculos e confirmar o número de ciclos e a região afetada pela fadiga durante a operação. A análise numérica apresentou um erro relativo de apenas 5% em relação aos resultados obtidos analiticamente.

Interculturality in Greek Education: Practices and Challenges of Implementation
Authors: Giavrimis Panagiotis , Dimitriadou Sofia
Published: June 2023

Intercultural education is an educational movement that aims to ensure all students have equal learning opportunities at school and in society. Intercultural education seeks to achieve a harmonious co-existence of all these different cultural groups. In intercultural education, diversity is deconstructed, and the boundaries of power between dominant and non-dominant groups are not fixed. The research aimed to study the views of primary and secondary school teachers on implementing interculturalism of immigrant/refugee students in Greek educational policy. Qualitative research through the semi-structured interview method was chosen for the data collection. The constructed interview guide was based on the literature on migration and its theoretical framework. The participants in the research were twenty-two primary and secondary school teachers. Eight of them were males, and fourteen were females. The results showed that most primary and secondary education teachers positively approached immigrant/refugee students in Greek education. Furthermore, teachers mentioned that the Greek language is essential in the educational inclusion of students from migrant and refugee backgrounds. However, at the same time, some teachers had negative attitudes based on ethnocentric elements. The inadequately organized educational policy mediated their mentioned views. Therefore, it is more than a necessity to establish learning strategies and educational practices based on an educational approach that transcends the mainstream cultural elements, enhances multilingualism and diversity of social identities, and yet seeks to provide equal opportunities and eliminate educational exclusions from groups of the student population experiencing school failure or school marginalization.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Muslims in the U. S during the COVID-19 pandemic. Religion has been playing an important role in individuals’ experiences of the pandemic. Many studies were essays on how to utilize a theological approach to respond to and cope with the pandemic. There is limited research on the impact of how Muslim communities in the U. S responded to the pandemic, particularly from the lens of Islamic history, religious beliefs, and attitudes, and being minoritized in a predominantly Christian country. Using an oral history approach, individual virtual interviews were conducted. The study revealed several main themes, such as the functions of religion, the influence of the pandemic on religious beliefs and traditions, and immigrant and refugee experiences. The implication of the interaction of history, culture, and gender in Muslim communities and their responses to the pandemic is discussed.

Authors: Priscilla Christina Natan  , Veronica  , Deasy Sucicahyati Mendala
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Meningioma may increase intracranial pressure (ICP) and cause papilledema, which results bilateral blindness. Since elevated ICP is thought to be caused by an underlying condition, immediate neuroimaging is required to look into the possibility of papilledema. Patients with intracranial tumour sometimes being consulted to ophthalmologist with ocular problems as their complaint. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of papilledema as an initial finding of occipital lobes intracranial tumor metastated from lung cancer. Case presentation: A female, 50-year-old patient being consulted from the ward with chief complaint bilateral visual loss gradually worsening in the last three months. Further history taking revealed other symptoms including relapsing headache since a year ago. Patient also came to the ophthalmologist a year ago and get examinated because of the headache and the examination result is only refraction disorder. Patient had decrease of consciousness and started coughing with massive sputum production since a week ago before she is admitted to the hospital. Patient was undergone Lung CT scan, a large mass was found in left lung, then she is diagnosed with lung cancer. Before that she never have any complaints about shortness of breath and chronic cough. The visual acuity on both eyes were already no light perception at the initial visit. Anterior segment was calm but the pupil was mid dilatation with no light reflexes. Fundus examination revealed papilledema, the optic nerve heads edges was blurred. Intraocular pressures were 12 mmHg. A MRI was performed 3 months before the patient got admitted to the hospital and revealed a massive solid mass in the left occipital lobe (approx AP 4 x LL 5 x CC 5.5 cm). Radiological reading suggested a meningioma. The patient was immediately referred to pulmonologist, neurologist, together with surgical neurology unit. Conclusion: A patient with slow growing intracranial tumour may come quite late to seek medical attention since the symptoms are very mild and bearable. When being consulted, the visual acuity is already no light perception. Ophthalmologist must be aware and consider the metastases of lung cancer into intracranial tumour as a cause of visual loss and therefore not to delay its management.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in the world, with an estimated prevalence of 2 to 4%, and represents a high burden of disease worldwide. It is defined as a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia with loss of atrial activity, diagnosed by specific electrocardiographic findings. Its classification is clearly defined, based on the form of presentation, duration and the resolution of the episodes. One of the pillars in the treatment of this pathology is anticoagulant therapy, which represents a challenge due to the heterogeneity of the patients, however there are specific situations such as chronic kidney disease, oncological diseases and liver disease, where the situation becomes even more complex, however different studies have been carried out in which the best strategies based on scientific evidence have been proposed for the approach of these patients in special situations.
Kur’an-ı Kerîm’de Yön Kavramı
Authors: BAYRAM Enver
Published: June 2023

Bu makalede Kur’an-ı Kerim’de yönler konu edilmektedir. Öyle ki Kur’an-ı Kerim, bünyesinde birçok kavramı barındırmaktadır. Bunlardan biri de yön kavramıdır. Yön, günlük hayatta çokça kullanılan bir kavram olmasının yanında hayatı da kolaylaştıran bir kavramdır. Zira insanlar hem konum bulmada hem de farklı amaçlarla yönleri kullanmaktadır. Doğu, batı, kuzey, güney, aşağı, yukarı, alt, üst, arka, ön gibi yönler günlük hayatta en çok kullanılanlardır. Kur’an-ı Kerim, farklı ayetlerde çeşitli saiklerle yön kavramına yer vermiş ve bunu insanın istifadesine sunmuştur. Mesela Allah’ın, rüzgârları rahmetinin (yağmurun) önünde müjdeci olarak gönderdiğini ifade etmesi, insanın gündelik hayatta yapacağı işlere de bir yön çizmektedir. Yine yönlerin yaratıcısının Allah olduğuna değinen Kur’an-ı Kerim, yönlere konusu farklı olan ayetlerde yer vermiştir. Bu minvalde Kur’an-ı Kerim’de yönler daha çok Allah’ın güç ve saltanatına işaret eden, Allah’ın varlığı ve birliğinden bahseden ayetlerde zikredilmektedir. Bunun yanında ayetlerde zikredilen yönler konum, zaman, mekân ve keyfiyet bildirmek için zikredilmiştir. Yönler gerçek anlamı ifade ettiği gibi mecaz anlam ifade etmek üzere de kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Kur’an-ı Kerim’de yer alan yön ile ilgili ayetlerin bilinmesinin yanında aşağıdaki sorulara cevap aramaktadır. Acaba Kur’an-ı Kerim konum ve yön bilgisine hangi oranda yer vermektedir? Kur’an’ Kerim sadece coğrafi yönlerden mi bahsetmektedir? Yoksa onda mecazî kullanımlar da mevcut mudur? Yönler müstakil olarak mı ele alınmıştır? Yoksa başka şeylerle irtibatlandırılmış mıdır? gibi sorular çalışmamızın amacını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu nedenle öncelikle Kur’an-ı Kerim’de geçen yön kavramına genel olarak değinilecek ardından ise Kur’an-ı Kerim’de yer verilen yönler detaylı bir şekilde ele alınıp incelecektir. İşlenen konudan sonra ise makalenin geneline dair bir sonuca varılmaya çalışılacaktır.

Authors: İYİGÜNDOĞDU Zeynep
Published: June 2023

Infection of a wound is one of the most important reasons delaying the recovery of an injured tissue. In this study, chitosan-based hydrogels were loaded with different concentrations of sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaBF4) to fabricate an antimicrobial wound care system. Antimicrobial activity, and cytotoxicity of NaBF4, and surface morphology, chemical bond structures and antimicrobial activity of Chitosan:NaBF4 hydrogels against a broad spectrum of microorganisms including an antibiotic resistant species were investigated. NaBF4 showed higher antibacterial activity for gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria. MIC values of NaBF4 were 3.906, 1.953, and 7.813 µg/µL for every gram-negative, gram-positive, and fungal species, respectively. Direct cytotoxicity of NaBF4 on the L929 cell line was investigated by the MTT assay. IC50 value after 24 h incubation was calculated as 3.2 µg/µL which is within the range of concentration with antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial activities of chitosan hydrogels were investigated by disc diffusion method. Antimicrobial activity of hydrogel increased with increasing NaBF4 concentration while parent high molecular weight chitosan-based hydrogel did not show antimicrobial activity. According to the results, sample 1:3 (NaBF4 concertation is 546.5mM in the hydrogel) was enough to achieve broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and hydrogels prepared with this formulation can be used as a potential antimicrobial wound care product.

Investigations on advance effects of boron-containing compounds have gained attention the last decade. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (BNNPs) on Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by different methods. First, biological effects of different BNNPs concentrations lower than 0.5 mg/mL examined on HRT-18 (Human Rectal Tumor) for 5 days. Different concentrations of hBN mixed with BCoV in liquid, on membrane or directly on cells and examined for differences of titers or replications. And also Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) test of hBN powders coated on polypropylene fabric by spray method was applied against S. aureus. The compound was found slightly toxic on the HRT-18 cell line by live cell counting, while no remarkable morphological difference was observed. BNNPs treatment with 0.025 or 0.3mg/mL concentrations did not reduce the infective titer and create no inhibitory effect on in vitro replication. Stability of virus titer after treatment of BNNPs coated fabric also indicated no antiviral efficiency. But hBN applied fabric formed a barrier of ≥90.3%, while non hBN applied fabric formed ≥64.6% barrier. The present study demonstrate that, BNNPs alone is not a good candidate for disinfectant or drug for BCoVs, while it could be valuable to use as coated fabric in the areas needing easy sanitation especially for S. aureus.
A Study on the Role of Internet Emoticons in Business Communication from the Perspective of Symbolic Interactionism
Authors: Xu Li , Yang Xinning , Tian Suping
Published: June 2023

Emoticons break down the traditional text communication and spread quickly across the Internet, becoming an indispensable network communication tool. They make up for the lack of non-verbal information in Internet communication, dispel the communication gap between the disseminator and the audience. Along with the advancement of information technology, many a business communication has changed from the traditional offline face-to-face communication to the virtual online kind. In daily life, due to the ritualistic, profit-oriented and transactional characteristics of business communication, emoticons in the customer service communication of the e-commerce platform are somewhat different from personal one. This paper selects 4 typical conversation texts from Taobao customer service to support the present case study. According to Mead and Blumer's symbolic interactionism, it analyses the role of emoticons used in business conversations as well as people’s motivations behind. On the basis of analyses, it attempts to summarize the role of emoticons in business communication and the problems existing in emoticons usage. The results demonstrate that emoticons can show professionalism and business etiquette, construct a communicator's business self-image, influence interpersonal mutual understanding so as to improve the accuracy and efficiency of business communication, and enhance group identification. Keywords: role of emoticons, non-verbal expressions, symbolic interactionism, business communication, customer service

Published: June 2023

In the paper, we introduce and study a massive class of continuous functions defined on the interval $(0;1)$ using a special encoding (representation) of the argument with an alphabet $ \mathbb{Z}=\{0,\pm 1, \pm 2,...\}$ and base $\tau=\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}$: $\displaystyle x=b_{\alpha_1}+\sum\limits_{k=2}^{m}(b_{\alpha_k}\prod\limits_{i=1}^{k-1}\Theta_{\alpha_i})\equiv\Delta^{\Phi}_{\alpha_1\alpha_2...\alpha_m(\emptyset)},\quadx=b_{\alpha_1}+\sum\limits_{k=2}^{\infty}(b_{\alpha_k}\prod\limits_{i=1}^{k-1}\Theta_{\alpha_i})\equiv\Delta^{\Phi}_{\alpha_1\alpha_2...\alpha_n...},$

where $\alpha_n\in \mathbb{Z}$, $\Theta_n=\Theta_{-n}=\tau^{3+|n|}$,$b_n=\sum\limits_{i=-\infty}^{n-1}\Theta_i=\begin{cases}\tau^{2-n}, & \mbox{if } n\leq0, \\1-\tau^{n+1}, & \mbox{if } n\geq 0.\end{cases}$

The function $f$, which is the main object of the study, is defined by equalities$\displaystyle\begin{cases}f(x=\Delta^{\Phi}_{i_1...i_k...})=\sigma_{i_11}+\sum\limits_{k=2}^{\infty}\sigma_{i_kk}\prod\limits_{j=1}^{k-1}p_{i_jj}\equiv\Delta_{i_1...i_k...},\\f(x=\Delta^{\Phi}_{i_1...i_m(\emptyset)})=\sigma_{i_11}+\sum\limits_{k=2}^{m}\sigma_{i_kk}\prod\limits_{j=1}^{k-1}p_{i_jj}\equiv\Delta_{i_1...i_m(\emptyset)},\end{cases}$ where an infinite matrix $||p_{ik}||$ ($i\in \mathbb{Z}$, $k\in \mathbb N$) satisfies the conditions

1) $|p_{ik}|<1$ $\forall i\in \mathbb{Z}$, $\forall k\in \mathbb N;\quad$2) $\sum\limits_{i\in \mathbb{Z}}p_{ik}=1$ $\forall k\in\mathbb N$;

3) $0<\sum\limits_{k=2}^{\infty}\prod\limits_{j=1}^{k-1}p_{i_jj}<\infty~~\forall (i_j)\in L;\quad$4) $0<\sigma_{ik}\equiv\sum\limits_{j=-\infty}^{i-1}p_{jk}<1$ $\forall i\in \mathbb Z, \forall k\in \mathbb N.$

This class of functions contains monotonic, non-monotonic, nowhere monotonic functions and functionswithout monotonicity intervals except for constancy intervals, Cantor-type andquasi-Cantor-type functions as well as functions of bounded and unbounded variation. The criteria for the function $f$ to be monotonic and to be a function of the Cantor type as well as the criterion of nowhere monotonicity are proved. Expressions for the Lebesgue measure of the set of non-constancy of the function and for the variation of the function are found. Necessary and sufficient conditions for thefunction to be of unbounded variation are established.
On modulus inequality of the order $p$ for the inner dilatation

Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to mappings with boundedand finite distortion of planar domains. Our investigations aredevoted to the connection between mappings of the Sobolev class andupper bounds for the distortion of the modulus of families of paths.For this class, we have proved the Poletsky-type inequality withrespect to the so-called inner dilatation of the order~$p.$ Weseparately considered the situations of homeomorphisms and mappingswith branch points. In particular, we have established thathomeomorphisms of the Sobolev class satisfy the upper estimate ofthe distortion of the modulus at the inner and boundary points ofthe domain. In addition, we have proved that similar estimates ofcapacity distortion occur at the inner points of the domain for opendiscrete mappings. Also, we have shown that open discrete and closedmappings satisfy some estimates of the distortion of the modulus offamilies of paths at the boundary points. The results of themanuscript are obtained mainly under the condition that theso-called inner dilatation of mappings is locally integrable. Themain approach used in the proofs is the choice of admissiblefunctions, using the relations between the modulus and capacity, andconnections between different modulus of families of paths (similarto Hesse, Ziemer and Shlyk equalities). In this context, we haveobtained some lower estimate of the modulus of families of paths inSobolev classes. The manuscript contains some examples related toapplications of obtained results to specific mappings.

Background: Psychosocial difficulties occur in patients with breast cancer for many reasons including long-term treatments, organ loss, or deformity. Accordingly, we aimed to compare differences in distress tolerance levels between metastatic and non-metastatic female patients diagnosed with breast cancer and receiving chemotherapy. We also evaluated the possible relationship between distress tolerance levels and with background and clinical characteristics of the patients.

Methods: 208 eligible female patients with breast cancer who received at least three chemotherapy sessions were included in our study. According to the presence of metastasis, the patients were divided into two groups those receiving palliative (metastatic, n=126) and adjuvant (non-metastatic, n=82) chemotherapy. Besides the study-specific data form, the Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) was applied to patients to assess distress tolerance levels.

Results: The age of participants was statistically significant between the non-metastatic and metastatic patients(p
Impact of the Level and Structure of the Tax Burden on Citizens Inequality
Authors:   P.G. Demidov Yаroslavl State University, Yаroslavl, Russian Federation, Pugachev A.A.
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the structure and level of the tax burden on inequality of citizens, using the example of the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The hypothesis was that the structure and level of the tax burden affect citizens inequality. This hypothesis was tested using a correlation and regression analysis of the dependence of citizens inequality level on the tax burden structure by decomposing it into separate taxes. The Gini coefficient and the share of income of the tenth decile group were chosen as indicators of inequality. The calculations were carried out using the Data Analysis in MS Excel for the years 2000 and 2020 on the basis of statistical data from the World Bank and OECD. The data set formed for the study contains about 1 thousand indicators. The share of all taxes in GDP has the closest relationship with inequality: it explains the dynamics of the level of inequality by 53–74%. The severity of the tax burden has a more significant impact on inequality than its structure. The decrease or increase in the share of a tax in the structure of the tax burden characterizes the weakening or strengthening of the impact of this tax on inequality. The change in the structure of the tax burden in OECD countries in 2020 compared to 2000 contributed to the smoothing of citizens inequality by increasing the share of income tax while reducing the share of indirect taxes. The relationship between the indicators of tax burden and inequality is non-linear. It fits into the concept of A. Laffer. Establishing the type of this dependence will make it possible to solve the problem of optimizing the structure of tax burden in order to smooth inequality.
Evaluation Of The Concepts Goodwill and Duty, Considering The Cinematographic Narrative Through The Film “Dept”
Authors: ARISOY Eda
Published: June 2023

The intellectual process that cinema reveals with visual and auditory images is unique. While visual and auditory images triggers personal emotions in the audience, they also inflame intellectual activity starts in mind. Concepts, which are the most basic components of the thought system, that provides new expansions. This also encourageous performances of contemporary cinema directors and enables the production styles of films to be autonomous. Renewals in the audience’s view of the phenomenon of cinema paved the way for directors who, by producing philosophy, make the audience a partner in their work in an intellectual sense. The various choices in the use of cinematographic elements by the directors create a serious diversity in the narrative. In this context, the fact that when the sound and visual images in the movies are different from the usual style, that may cause an interesting and stimulating effect. Such marginal choices of cinematography leads to the production of new expansions of the concepts desired to be shared with the audience through films. Based on this idea, the study tries to conduct a discussion on the concepts of goodness and evil in the movie Borç (Vuslat Saraçoğlu, 2018) within the framework of cinematographic elements. These two concepts are tried to be discussed on the basis of moral philosophy. The philosophy that the audiences will create in mind with their own experiences can also be versatile. Because these two concepts are very prone to multiple meanings. Being a good person or being a bad person are concepts that can differ with one's experiences and life conditions. The film Debt deals with these concepts in depth and from multiple perspectives. The aim of the study is to make an evaluation of what kind of questioning and how to approach to these concepts from the viewer's point of view when cinematographic elements are used differently from the known ordinary forms.

Rising Tides or Political Ripcurrents? Gentrification and Minority Representation in 166 Cities
Authors: Lee Diana Da In , Velez Yamil Ricardo
Published: June 2023

Transformative changes in urban economies are raising vital questions about minority representation. Given that cities are sites of political power for communities of color, gentrification and the housing affordability crisis threaten to deteriorate decades of progress. This paper considers the impact of these economic and demographic shifts on minority candidate success and supply. Collecting data on 166 city councils across several decades, we find that white population growth is associated with reductions in local political power for Black and Latino councilors. We also observe modest evidence that local economic improvements may not have deleterious effects on city council diversity. We probe these findings using data on local elections as well as over 380,000 tweets of city councilors, and uncover evidence of a candidate supply mechanism in the case of ``racial gentrification'' and a credit-claiming mechanism in the case of ``economic gentrification.'' We conclude by discussing the political implications of the cross-cutting effects we observe.

The Importance of Intellectual Humility for Fostering Effective Communication Between Scientists and the Public
Authors: Rios Kimberly , Roth Zachary Cain , Coleman Thomas Joseph
Published: June 2023

Growing partisan gaps in confidence in scientists and scientific institutions, and other divisions among Americans across social identities, call for novel approaches to science communication. But common assumptions can often mask the nuanced nature of these divisions and the potential solutions that may be found through this understanding. This perspectives piece focuses on discussions at the colloquium about the need for more nuanced understanding about trust in science, and what research tells us about barriers and opportunities to bridge divisions in science and society. Specifically, in this piece, we highlight the potential for intellectual humility (i.e., willingness to revise one’s views and admit that one might be wrong) to ameliorate both the public’s biases toward scientists and scientists’ biases toward the public. We provide evidence that intellectual humility not only increases public engagement with science but can also reduce scientists’ (mis)conceptions about the public and one another, and we conclude with a discussion of how to foster mutual intellectual humility in science communication.
Pathogens or promiscuity? Testing two accounts of the relation between disgust sensitivity and binding moral values
Authors: Donner Michael , Chagas-Bastos Fabrício H. , Jeremiah Richard , Laham Simon
Published: June 2023

A recurrent observation in the field of moral psychology is that disgust sensitivity is associated with greater moralization of the binding (and particularly sanctity) moral domains. It is generally assumed that these effects are the result of disgust’s role as an emotion that motivates pathogen avoidance (i.e., the pathogen avoidance account), yet alternative disgust-based accounts of moralization, namely those grounded in sexual avoidance (i.e., the promiscuity avoidance account), might also explain these observations. Across two studies (total N = 2,718), involving 10 diverse samples (from Australia, USA, and Brazil), we found that after controlling for the shared variance of pathogen and sexual disgust, only measures of sexual disgust exhibited a positive (and strong) association with the binding moral foundations. These results argue against the pathogen avoidance account of disgust-binding effects and instead support the promiscuity avoidance account. Above all, this work highlights the utility of delineating the dimensionality of disgust to better characterize the different disgust-based motives underlying moral cognition.
Are Two Words Recalled or Recognised as One? How Age-of-Acquisition Affects Memory for Compound Words
Authors: Elsherif Mahmoud Medhat , Catling Jon
Published: June 2023

The age at which a person acquires knowledge of an item is a strong predictor of item retrieval, hereon defined as the Age of Acquisition (AoA) effect. This effect is such that early-acquired words are processed more quickly and accurately than late-acquired items. One account to explain this effect is the integrated account, where the AoA effect occurs in the early processes of lexical retrieval and hence should increase in tasks necessitating greater semantic processing. Importantly, this account has been applied to lexical processing, but not, to date, memory tasks. The current study aimed to assess whether the integrated account could explain memory tasks, using compound words, which differ from monomorphemic words regarding ease of mapping and semantic processes. Four-hundred-and-eighty participants were split into four groups of 120 participants for each of four experiments. Participants were required to recall unspaced and spaced compound words (Experiments 1 and 2, respectively) or make a recognition decision for unspaced and spaced compound words (Experiments 3 and 4, respectively). This approach allowed us to establish how semantic processing was involved in recalling and recognising the items. We found that (AoA) was related to all tasks such that irrespective of space, early-acquired compound words were recalled more accurately than late-acquired compound words in free recall. In recognition memory, late-acquired compound words were recognised more accurately than early-acquired compound words. However, the slope for the AoA was semantic processing influenced free recall to a greater extent than the recognition memory, with the AoA effect being larger in free recall than recognition memory. In addition, the AoA effect for the compound word was larger in spaced compound words than unspaced compound words. This demonstrates that the AoA effect in memory has multiple sources.
Capturing the Civic Lives of Cities: An Organizational, Place-Based Perspective on Civil Society in Global Cities
Authors: Brandtner Christof , Powell Walter W.
Published: June 2023

In a wired world, how do social interactions among organizations and people continue to define civil society? Our co-produced approach to studying civil societies through a place-based, organizational lens provides fresh answers to perennial questions about voice, accountability, and embeddedness. The six articles in this collection on the civic life of cities draw on more than 1,400 interviews with organizational leaders in San Francisco, Seattle, Shenzhen, Singapore, Sydney, and Vienna. Moving beyond the “big theories” of civil society, the articles illustrate the value of our dual emphasis on place and organizations by showing how comparisons of the people, practices, and partnerships of civil society organizations enable new middle-range theories of civil society. This approach promises to offer rich comparative insights into similarities and differences among organizations around the globe.
Social Consolidation, Spatial Clustering, and Opinion Polarization
Authors: Lee Jaemin
Published: June 2023

Network models of opinion formation highlight homophily and interpersonal influences as profound micro-mechanisms for opinion polarization. Yet, in these models, individuals are usually presumed to behave in a single dimension where opinions determine interactions and vice versa. Consequently, these models have not explicitly considered how the population’s correlated structure configures mixing opportunities among different groups and, in turn, are incapable of making sense of the alignment-driven polarization processes that have been widely documented in empirical research (e.g., ideological identities and sociodemographic groups). Drawing on ecological approaches of network formation, this study examines how social consolidation—the correlation between positions across multiple social dimensions—interacts with micro-mechanisms to produce opinion polarization. I first construct an agent-based model to show that depending on the level of consolidation, the same set of micro-mechanisms contributing to either consensus or polarization can produce different polarization outcomes due to spatial clustering and opinion alignment along multiple dimensions that this model introduces. Then I empirically test a primary theoretical mechanism that links consolidation to polarization: spatial clustering. Using new spatial estimates drawn from 180M geo-coded voter profiles in the United States (Brown and Enos 2021), I find novel evidence that counties and census tracts of high sociodemographic consolidation (measured by a race-education correlation) tend to present greater partisan isolation (a higher proportion of co-partisans in their nearest neighbors). These findings suggest social consolidation constitutes a strong foundation for opinion polarization.
Beyond House Size: Alternative Estimates of Wealth Inequality in the Ancient Maya Lowlands
Authors: Munson Jessica , Scholnick Jonathan , Mejía Ramón Andrés G. , Aragón Lorena Paiz
Published: June 2023

House size provides a comparative measure of household wealth that enables archaeologists to track global trends in inequality across a range of sedentary societies. Such approaches hold particular promise for Maya archaeology given its long history of settlement pattern research and recent applications of lidar to map large areas surrounding ancient Maya cities. Estimating dwelling size, however, is not a trivial exercise. This paper addresses potential confounds associated with geometric-based estimates (volume and area) and compares traditional house size-based measures of wealth with other estimates of house size and quality of life (QOL) indicators. Settlement pattern data from the Upper Usumacinta Confluence Zone (UUCZ), recently collected by the Proyecto Arquelógico Altar de Sacrificios, combined with previously published excavation data provide a robust dataset to evaluate alternative measures of wealthbeyond house size.

Authors: Singh Shishu Kumar
Published: June 2023

In the presented research paper, a survey study has been done in the perspective of the presentation style of Pandwani, the folklore of Chhattisgarh. How the folk tale Pandwani is presented standing or sitting or kneeling. Among the auxiliary instruments used in the presentation, the use of tambourine is prominent, which along with the instrument is used as a hand-held material in the presentation. Question and answer are also used in between to keep the audience engaged. Expression and movement are used to attract the audience. Along with its stage presentation, its narrative presentation has also been studied, in which this folklore Pandavani is divided into two parts, Vedmati based on the pure stories of the scriptures and the tradition of expanding the classical story with the use of imagination is understood as Kapalik style and it is expressed which the great respected artists of Pandwani Teejanbai and Jhaduram Dewangan etc. have been expressing in their interviews from time to time. Which has been described with context. Because this topic is extensive, an attempt has been made to discuss only these episodes here.
