Using OpenAI models as a new tool for text analysis in political leaders’ unstructured discourse
Authors: Bianchini Gonzalo Espinoza , Zanotti Lisa , Meléndez Carlos
Published: August 2023

This study explores the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models in the analysis of right-wing unstructured political discourse in Peru, focusing on how the concept of freedom is framed. Three types of freedom are identified: personal autonomy, economic freedom, and civil liberties. Utilizing the transcription of OpenAI’s ASR Whisper and GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models, interviews with three Peruvian right-wing political leaders are analyzed: Rafael López Aliaga, Hernando de Soto and Keiko Fujimori. The results show that GPT-4 beats GPT-3.5 in identifying dimensions of freedom, although there are discrepancies compared to human coding. Despite challenges in classifying abstract and ambiguous concepts, the findings demonstrate GPT-4's ability to classify complexities within political discourse at comparatively small costs and easy access. The research suggests the need for additional refinement, ethical consideration, and ongoing exploration in the analysis of political speeches through AI.
Providing choice enhances reading enjoyment and motivation
Authors: Bains Amrita , Spaulding Carina , Ricketts Jessie , Krishnan Saloni
Published: August 2023

Multiple literacy programmes embed choice of reading material at the heart of their programmes, as this is believed to enhance motivation for reading. Yet, this practice has not been experimentally evaluated. Is choice effective at boosting reading motivation? Are the types of choice provided important, or is it the provision of agency that boosts the desirability of the chosen book? Using a new experimental paradigm to tap reading motivation, we assessed whether reading enjoyment and motivation were influenced by: i) a choice of book; or ii) a choice of book genre. Motivation was indexed by willingness to pay for books. Choice of book and choice of genre increased reading enjoyment and motivation. Our results show that providing agency boosts enjoyment for reading in naturalistic decision-making scenarios. Therefore, the study evidences the inclusion of choice in literacy programmes, with broad implications for the design of educational materials.
Composite Schematic Faces are Processed Analytically
Authors: Cheng Xue Jun , Little Daniel R.
Published: August 2023

In contrast to claims of holistic processing, upright aligned composite face morphs were recently shown to be processed in the same manner as inverted or misaligned composite face morphs (Cheng et al., 2018). In the present paper, we replicate that work, using a set of schematic faces, which vary second-order features (e.g., lip height and eye separation) in the top and bottom-halves of the schematic face. As for morph faces, we find that processing for upright, inverted, aligned and misaligned faces is consistent with a mixture of serial and parallel processing. These results remain consistent with the idea that composite faces are not processed differently from other objects with separable dimensions.
Normierung von Tests und Fragebögen: Ein systematischer Methodenüberblick für deutschsprachige Verfahren
Authors: Urban Julian , Scherrer Vsevolod , Strobel Anja , Preckel Franzis
Published: August 2023

Norms of psychometric tests are, with the exception of criterion-referenced tests, a crucial prerequisite for the comparison and interpretation of test results. However, conventional norming methods – building subgroups over continuous variables (e.g., age norms) – leads to biased norms unless very large samples are collected. New continuous norming methods such as semi-parametric, and parametric norming seem to provide a solution to this economy-precision dilemma. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic overview of the norming methods of German-language tests using a stratified sample of tests published after 2010 in the domains of achievement, development, intelligence, and personality. Our systematic overview shows that the applied norming practices largely comply with test standards. Where information on the norming method is provided, it shows a predominant use of conventional norming methods but a trend toward the use of continuous norming. However, the description of the norming process and the formulation of application recommendations appeared to be optimizable. Both are needed to facilitate the use of continuous norming methods in test development.
Continuities and Disruptures in Textbooks
Authors: Tan Guanhua , Ouyang Boya , Liu Shiran
Published: August 2023

This paper focuses on contrasting two history textbooks: the 2007 Shanghai edition and the 2019 national standard edition. From the mid-1980s onward, Shanghai, like several other provinces, retained the autonomy to produce its own history textbooks. This autonomy lasted until 2019 when the central government introduced a nationally standardized textbook, making the 2007 edition the final independent textbook produced by Shanghai. Our primary objective is to explore the consistencies and divergences in history textbooks. This examination will serve as an initial step in understanding the evolution of teaching methodologies during the transitional phase in which Shanghai adopted the national standard textbook.
Demographic Change and Border Security Governance of Nepal: An Analysis of Perceptions
Authors: Dhungel Rudra Prasad
Published: August 2023

Demographic changes in Nepal have significant implications for national security, particularly border security. The shifting populations, internal migration from rural to urban areas, and cross-border movements have given rise to various challenges like illegal border crossings, human trafficking, smuggling, and other activities that jeopardize security and stability. Despite several efforts, border security continues to be a pressing issue, and there is a lack of understanding of how locallevel elected representatives perceive the implications of demographic change on border security. This research primarily aims to analyze the perception of threat among locally elected representatives concerning the root causes of demographic change at their respective local levels. It also seeks to examine their perception of how demographic change affects border security governance and identify the security threats perceived due to such changes. Moreover, the study aims to determine the perceived role of responsible authorities or agencies in mitigating the security risks associated with demographic change. To achieve these objectives, the research follows an analytical approach, gathering perceptions from elected representatives of various local governments. It uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze their views on border security issues arising from changing demographics in Nepal. The focus areas are the Nepalese territories connected to neighboring countries China and India. The primary data source for the research is local-level government representatives, and the analysis involves thematic exploration of qualitative interviews and quantitative examination of population trends. However, it's important to note that the findings may have limited generalizability, as they are based solely on the perceptions of elected representatives. The study does not include perspectives from security forces or other agencies. The selected areas for the study include regions in Nepal experiencing frequent population decrease, such as Bhotekoshi rural municipality and Jugal rural municipality of Sindhupalchowk district, as well as areas with frequent population increase, including Rajdevi Municipality and Gaur Municipality of Rautahat, Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City of Banke, and Bhajani Municipality and Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City of Kailali District. The study sheds light on the main drivers of demographic change, such as the pursuit of better health, education, employment, and quality of life, and their long-term impact on national and border security. By engaging local-level elected representatives and employing an analytical approach, this research aims to fill the existing research gap and provide valuable information to policymakers for effectively addressing border security challenges arising from demographic change in Nepal.
Important Factors Applicable in Bilateral Relationships and Conflict Resolution
Authors: Rayamajhi Yadav Bahadur
Published: August 2023

Important factors applicable in bilateral relationships and conflict resolution are strategies, models, theories, and policies. In simple term, strategy is a long-term plan intended to achieve. An example to follow or imitate is a model. An idea to justify a course of action is a theory whereas law, regulation, and procedure used is a policy. Strategy embodies interest based priorities, which has short, medium, and long-term implications for a country. Model gives template that guides in constructing a system. Theory is essential tool for state craft. Guidance, constancy, accountability, efficiency, and clarity on how an organization operates are provided by policies. The objective of the paper is to examine important factors applicable in bilateral relationships and conflict resolution and highlight important relevant factors. To prepare the paper, qualitative methodology, explanatory research design, descriptive and analytical study design, and secondary sources of related textual and virtual documents are used. .After discussion, relevant strategies of ‘progressive nationalism, frequent dialogues and visits at high level, border diplomacy, pushing into regular constructive dialogues, playing diplomatic roles by a third country, and using International Boundary Research Unit (IBRU);’ models of ‘geo-economic and territorial project model of cross-border integration, bilateral trade flows, and partial settlement in resolving disputes;’ theories of ‘FDI inflow and bilateral political relationships, problem workshops, creation of international regime, and international organizations (IOs) brokered bargaining;’ and policies of ‘bilateral relationships, defense diplomacy, bilateral economic relations, bilateral diplomacy, nonalignment with equal friendships for all and diversification, an equal and respectful but not reciprocal relationships, leaders’ visits and diplomatic conflicts, third party intermediaries, enduring rivalries, pursuit of legal settlement, compromise or escalation or maintenance of status quo or swapping of territory, and uti possidentis or ground realities are highlighted to be adopted by the governments.

Published: August 2023

Learning styles describe how individuals acquire, interpret, and assimilate knowledge differently. The effective use of learning styles is essential for effective classroom education. The three most popular learning styles are kinaesthetic, auditory, and visual. This study pursued to learn more about the preferred learning modes of college students. There were 152 respondents from Baneshwor Multiple Campus, Kathmandu Nepal. The data were collected from first year students of BBS, B.Ed. and BA. The researchers used a scale of learning styles (VAK) with 28 items to accomplish the study's goal, and after confirming its validity and reliability, it was applied to the sample. The results show that there are no statistically significant differences in the types of learning patterns preferred by students. Based on these findings, the study recommends that teachers are encouraged to diversify college teaching strategies and methods to suit the preferred learning styles of their students, particularly new students, in order to motivate them to learn in the college environment and to provide the training needs and requirements necessary to enable them to take individual differences among their students into account when identifying educational goals.

Financial Factors Affecting on Foreign Direct Investment Flows into Nepal
Authors: Dhungel Bashu Dev , Raila Salisha
Published: August 2023

Foreign direct investment in Nepal has played a vital role in bridging the gap between demand for capital and supply of capital in the country as it has been facing scarcity of capital supply. The main objective of this study is to examine the role of financial variables on foreign direct investment flows into Nepal. Regression analysis and elasticity coefficient are used to examine the role of financial sector in foreign direct investment flows. The result shows that the coefficient of broad money supply (0.81), NEPSE index (-0.71) and total transaction in financial market (0.38) are the significant variables affecting foreign capital flows into Nepal. However, NEPSE index negatively affects foreign capital flows into Nepal. Since the Government of Nepal has undertaken various measures to raise FDI flows into the country, the government should carefully develop the financial sector as it is one of the prominent factors affecting the foreign capital flows.

Authors: Pulami Hasta Bahadur
Published: August 2023

This study focuses on the role of personal promotional factors determining agri-entrepreneurship performance, with a sample size of 405 respondents from infinite small and medium agri-entrepreneurship of Surkhet district. The data were collected using structured questionnaire containing multiple choice questions and Likert scale questions. The survey was conducted in Kartik 2079 on active agri-entrepreneurs. The factors determining agri-entrepreneurship performance were grouped into three main variables, i.e., self-efficacy (SE), creativity and innovation level (CI), and risk preference level (RP). Modeling of multiple regression analysis was used in inferential statistics. The result showed that agri-entrepreneurs’ self-efficacy level, creativity and innovation level, and risk preference level have a significant impact on the agri-entrepreneurship performance. Based on univariate analysis self-efficacy has the most significant effect on agri-entrepreneurship performance followed by creativity and innovation skill; and risk preference level. Although variables are jointly regressed in bivariate regression, coefficients are decreased. This study concluded that agri-entrepreneurship performance of agri-entrepreneurs of Surkhet district is more determined by self-efficacy level. Agri-entrepreneurs in the field of agriculture could consider this factor to have better choices while entering or continuing with their agri-entrepreneurships.
The Historical Trajectory and the Politics of Lakhan Thapa’s Body: Redrawing from Nepali Experiences
Authors: Senehang Dipankar
Published: August 2023

This paper explores Lakhan Thapa’s body in the historical trajectory, especially dealing with antipathy, empathy and apotheosis in the light of the New-historicist perspective. Lakhan Thapa, a military rebellion and the first martyr of Nepal, was executed by the Rana regime in 1877. It took 122 years to recognize his body as “a martyr,” which was declared by the multiparty democratic government in 1999. In the past, the regime created by the Ranas and Panchayats accentuated Lakhan Thapa in different positions, capturing variegated emotional responses from the rulers and the public. Against this backdrop, the paper argues that Lakhan Thapa’s body is a site of antipathy, empathy and apotheosis. For instance, when his body resisted the ruler Jung Bahadur Rana, it was dominantly occupied by antipathy, creating a threat against the ruler. As the democratic movement took place in the country in 1990, empathetic temperaments were discharged from the public, reckoning Lakhan Thapa’s body as a site of emancipation and celebration. Therefore, Lakhan Thapa’s body became ubiquitous and omnipresent when the democratically elected federal republican government of Nepal declared Lakhan Thapa “the first martyr of Nepal” in 2015. To address this issue, the study employs Michel Foucault’s notion of the ‘disciplined body’ and Stephen Greenblatt’s definition of ‘resonance and wonder’ for analysis. The study also exposes Lakhan Thapa’s body as a site of contestation and celebration, which is largely shaped by the political transition. The body is not a static and neutral form of agency with apolitical materiality but rather a fluid and transitory state of representation, profoundly rooted in the nexus of power and politics.
Female Subjectivity and Body Politics in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Zikora
Authors: G.C. Saroj
Published: August 2023

This paper examines the pregnant female body in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Zikora. The protagonist's experiences of loneliness, abandonment and struggle during her pregnancy are situated within diverse socio-political relations, including patriarchy, sexuality, immigrant status, romance, transnational background and generation gaps. Drawing on critical insights from body politics, especially Elaine Scarry's concept of conscious body, Michel Foucault's notion of body discipline and Elizabeth Grosz's phenomenological reading of lived bodies, the analysis explores how the protagonist Adichie challenges the traditional understanding of the female body as a mere biological object. The paper argues that through her bodily experiences, the protagonist gains agency to critique and reassess gender relations and stereotypes. The journey of self-discovery and subjectivity emerges as the protagonist's aching body becomes a window to perceive existing relationships and meanings, resulting in a revitalized understanding of her own body and its significance.
Ontological Insecurity in Doris Lessing’s The Grass Is Singing
Authors: Chawdhury Duhita
Published: August 2023

Through her novel The Grass Is Singing, Doris Lessing has continuously questioned the stereotypical outlook of our society and politics. In this novel, she deals with the human psyche focusing on MaryTurner’s character by portraying a vivid picture of the psychological struggles that she goes through since her childhood. While Mary is struggling inwardly, her memory has been playing a pivotal role in her psyche – her unhappy childhood memories and her memories of city life – and all these put a profound impact upon her psyche, creating a false-self and leading her towards ‘ontological insecurity’. Based on the psychopathological and sociological analysis provided by Dr. R.D. Laing and Anthony Giddens respectively, this paper examines Lessing’s projection of the character Mary as an ontologically insecure person by delving deep into Mary’s psyche. The study explores the three stages of anxiety in Mary’s psyche induced by ontological insecurity, putting memories and societal factors as the threshold of her psychosomatic sufferings and shows how Mary despite her psychological sufferings struggles to assert her sense of self by constructing, reconstructing and deconstructing her false-self.
Theatrical Performance and Aesthetic Communication in Darkest Night Directed by Festus Dairo
Authors: Ojo Abayomi C. , Olatunji Olalekan F.
Published: August 2023

The theatre functions as a platform for communication; however, the surge in audiences' level of media literacy and aesthetic taste caused by the exposure to media elements has warranted a review of the medium of communication to include a critical use of aesthetics in performance. Therefore, directors like Festus Dairo have identified the use of special effects make-up and mixed-media as currencies for creating contemporary performances with an aesthetic essence. This paper engages Ole Thyssen’s aesthetic communication theory as a theoretical framework as it examines Dairo’s art of aesthetic communication using special effects make-up and mixed-media techniques. It is a descriptive study that secured its data through participatory observation of the 2023 production of Darkest Night by the Zion Royal Theatre. As Dairo seeks to create an aesthetic theatre experience capable of sustaining audience attention through visual elements and media technology, he uses special effects of make-up to create mental images emanating from the visual adornment of characters through the use of special effects of make-up and a deliberate use of media elements which include pre-recorded dialogues and sound amplification; music; interactive lights and audio subtitling in connection with the ongoing live action. Hence, the use of special effects make-up and mixed-media techniques in the performance under study proves to be a viable method of aesthetic communication capable of enhancing interpretation, creating a robust theatre experience, and sustaining the overall contemporary theatre-going culture.
Indian Partition and Life in the Aftermath: The Traumatic Memory in Amitav Ghosh’s The Shadow Lines
Authors: Khanal Ananta
Published: August 2023

Literary depiction of contemporary socio-political escalations remains a major issue in Amitav Ghosh’s The Shadow Lines as it dramatizes the plight of Chandrashekhar Datta Chaudhuri’s family members in the wake of Indian partition. This paper critically examines the reasons for shattered lives and trauma in the characters of The Shadow Lines. This qualitative analysis of the text deploys the theoretical perspectives of memory studies. To substantiate the objective, this study explores how the historical partition and its consequent socio-political uprising killed so many people, displaced the family members from their home and country, haunted them with dreadful memories, shattered the lives and consequently traumatized them psychologically for ages. Understanding the impacts of the political spaces on the personal lives of the characters supports people to comprehend the extent of traumatic consequences in a similar context.
An Evidence-Based Approach to Private Ordering
Authors: Alarie Benjamin , Yoon Albert H
Published: August 2023

Private ordering – where private actors regulate, enforce, and resolve disputes on their own – has in recent years expanded across business, commercial, and financial sectors. Parties have economic and reputational incentives to take this approach over adjudication by the courts. Parties may prefer private ordering for reasons of process, substance, or both. Even when disputes come before them, courts often defer to parties’ private ordering. Their rationale is that the parties possess a stronger understanding of their intentions than do the courts. This strong assumption, however, depends on parties’ knowledge and relative bargaining strength. In many instances, parties operate under incomplete or imperfect information; additional information could allow parties to enter into more efficient and more fair agreements ex ante, while better informing courts’ approach to adjudicating disputes arising from private ordering ex post. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in legal technology – specifically, in its ability to analyse vast amounts of data – can help advance this augmented informational objective. If made broadly accessible, AI has the potential to equalize information and bargaining power between parties. An empirical evaluation of the validity of assumptions that underpin the general support for private ordering can also be instructive for judges. For this reason, courts have an important role to play in the evolution of private law. Their ability to understand and harness AI can lead in the short term to more effective judicial oversight with respect to private ordering. Over the long term, courts can empower parties to make more informed choices when interacting with one another, reducing inefficiencies and rents.

Authors: Waruwu Nurdelima , Arifin Fatkhul , Hady Yazid
Published: August 2023

This study aims to analyze the implementation of post-pandemic blended learning in elementary schools at Jabodetabek. We know that for two years, learning has always been done with a remote system using the e-learning method. In the new normal era, learning began to be integrated with a blended system, namely a combination of face-to-face and remote. There are also those who mean combining two methods, namely conventional methods, and e-learning. The method used is a survey research method with a descriptive approach, where researchers identify the uses of blended learning in learning and conduct management analysis of the application of blended learning at the MI/SD level after the Covid-19 pandemic. The research was conducted in 2021 in the Jabodetabek area. The instrument used is a questionnaire supported by theory and observations. In the research results obtained from 186 respondents, 82% stated that the application of post-Covid 19 blended learning in elementary schools was still relevant. So the researchers concluded that blended learning is a new method of learning. Class is not the only place for learning, teachers can do learning anywhere and anytime.

Authors: Rathi Manisha , Gazbare Preeti , Ruparel Nirali
Published: August 2023

Objective: To analyze and compare the effects of Vibrapole exercises and elastic band exercises on abdominal strength in young healthy individuals. Material and Methods: In this experimental study, 80 healthy, young individuals between the age groups of 18-24 were screened and recruited and then allocated into 2 groups. Group A- abdominal strengthening exercise using vibrapole (n= 40) and Group B- abdominal strengthening exercise using an elastic band (n=40). The intervention was administered for 3 days/week, for 4 weeks to both groups. Progression was adjusted after 2 weeks, by increasing repetitions of exercises from 10 to 20. Outcome measures, including: surface Electromyography (EMG), pressure biofeedback and 7 stage sit-up test, were assessed pre and post-intervention. The analysis was performed with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Group A and B showed significant improvement (p-value<0.001) when analyzed individually for surface EMG, pressure biofeedback and 7-stage sit-up test. Group A showed more improvement in abdominal strength than group B in surface EMG (Mean Difference–Group A: 159.27+48.84 and Group B 126.32+39.96) and in 7-stage sit-up test (Mean Difference–Group A: 2.12+0.64 and Group B 1.67+0.57) as p-value<0.01. Pressure Biofeedback showed non-significant differences among the groups (p-value=0.2201). Conclusion: This study concludes that strengthening exercises using Vibrapole was more effective in increasing abdominal muscle strength than elastic band exercises. Hence Vibrapole can be used by physiotherapists as an effective tool to improve abdominal strength.

Status kanoniczno–prawny osoby małoletniej – zagadnienia terminologiczne
Authors: Adamowicz Leszek
Published: August 2023

Status kanoniczno-prawny osoby małoletniej jest przedmiotem licznych opracowań, które ograniczają się jednak bądź tylko do zagadnień prawno-karnych związanych z ochroną osób małoletnich w kontekście przestępstw przeciwko szóstemu przykazaniu Dekalogu, bądź, nawet, gdy zakres opracowań jest szerszy, ograniczają się wyłącznie do przepisów Kościoła łacińskiego. Osoba małoletnia jest w pełnym tego słowa znaczeniu osobą z wszystkimi prawami i obowiązkami jej przysługującymi z prawa naturalnego i prawa kanonicznego. Jednak może korzystać z uprawnień lub jest zobowiązana do wykonywania obowiązków w zależności od ukończonego wieku. Opracowanie dotyczy terminologii użytej przez prawodawcę w kodeksach prawnych Kościoła katolickiego oraz poszczególnych granic wiekowych wpisanych do ustaw kościelnych. Oba kodeksy Kościoła katolickiego używają ośmiu różnych terminów łacińskich (w sumie ponad sto razy w każdym z kodeksów), a sam status osoby małoletniej opisany został w ponad osiemdziesięciu kanonach kodeksu dla Kościoła łacińskiego i mniej więcej tyle samo w kodeksie wschodnim. Jednak prawodawca w żadnym z kodeksów nie stworzył wyodrębnionej części poświęconej osobom małoletnim.
A Few Reflections on Human Labour. Worker’s Safety in the Light of Scientific and Technological Progress vs. the Teachings of the Catholic Church
Authors: Jarota Maciej
Published: August 2023

Scientific and technological progress requires employers to ask questions about the axiology of work again. This article takes up considerations regarding legal regulations of employee health protection in the context of guidelines offered by the teachings of the Catholic Church from the perspective of the development of science and technology in work performance. The purpose of this publication is not to present a detailed analysis of the scientific and technological progress including new forms of employment. The existence of such progress is only a contribution to the reflections on the topicality of the legislation on occupational health and safety and on the adequacy of applied employee health protections in the light of dangers occurring in the workplace in the context of goals and values indicated by the teachings of selected representatives of the Catholic Church.
Legal Determinants of Participation of Residents of a Commune in Protection of Historical Monuments and Buildings
Authors: Koniuszewska Ewa
Published: August 2023

Protection of historical monuments and buildings is a government’s and local-government’s task. Participation of local government units in its implementation is crucial. At the level of a basic local government unit, protection of historical monuments and buildings is carried out by means of the possibility of establishing a cultural park which is one of the forms of protection of historical monuments and buildings. The legislator determined the process of establishment of a cultural park in detail and vested the activities initiating this process in the commune council. At the same time, it adopted regulations enabling inclusion of stakeholders in the works on establishing a cultural park. This study aims to analyse legal solutions guaranteeing commune residents real participation in the process of establishing a cultural park. On this basis an attempt will be made to answer the question whether applicable regulations, in the investigated scope, encourage members of self-governing communities to get involved in public affairs or whether they refer to the model of a resolution-making procedure in which the legislator unilaterally imposes obligations on and grants powers to entities under the law.

Pestis Antonini. Reakcja Marka Antoniusza na globalną starożytną epidemię
Authors: Sitek Bronisław
Published: August 2023

Przedmiotem opracowania jest plaga Antonińska, jaka miała miejsce w latach 165–180. Była to jedna z największych epidemii, jaka nawiedziła antyczny Rzym. Poważnie naruszyła fundamenty ekonomiczne i polityczne potężnego Imperium. Celem opracowania jest wskazanie przyczyn tej epidemii, rozmiaru jej rozpowszechnienia oraz skutków. Najważniejsze jest jednak ukazanie reakcji ówczesnych władz publicznych na zjawisko globalnej epidemii. W konsekwencji zostały wprowadzone regulacje prawne dotyczące pochówku zmarłych oraz udzielenia pomocy najbiedniejszym. W pracy autor ograniczył się do analizy źródeł literackich i typowo prawniczych z pominięciem inskrypcji i papirusów. Efektem tej pracy jest twierdzenie, że ówczesne władze publiczne reagowały w sposób dla nich odpowiedni i zgodny z ówczesną wiedzą medyczną.
