Authors: Al-Zubaidi Ehsan Ali , Al Khafaji Riyad
Published: April 2024

Remote sensing, specifically satellite imagery, is gaining prominence in computer science nowadays, in the era of artificial intelligence, in an attempt to deliver more precise information. The satellite images of Earth are gathered, evaluated, and processed for use in civil and military applications with a military aim. Satellite images do have a wide range of services. The areas of study of agriculture, fishery, oceanography, and meteorology include geology, biodiversity, cartography, land use planning, and armed conflict. Transformation is the goal of the categorization of satellite images. Transformation of satellite images into information that can be used rather than having an image of a location. This paper classified a scene of the Landsat-8 satellites with specifications (Path=168 and Row=38). This scene was classified into four categories (Water, Vegetation, bare land, and Build-up) based on the unsupervised classification method (ISO Clustering). The ISO Clustering method is found in the Arc Map program. The results regarding classification accuracy are a good percentage compared to unsupervised Classification.

Authors: M. Mijwil Maad
Published: April 2024

With the significant growth of modern technology and its integration into many different industries, especially in the healthcare sector, artificial intelligence is one of the critical methods contributing to the development of medical fields, including dentistry. It possesses important and influential techniques that contribute to improving the results of patient care, diagnosis, treatment planning, and tracking the spread of diseases. These techniques play a major role in assisting dentists in diagnosing patients with high efficiency and accuracy. In this review, artificial intelligence techniques in developing the field of dentistry will be reviewed by highlighting the most important literature in which these techniques are involved. A search was conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases from 2018 to 2023, where many articles were found (n=432), and articles that did not meet the selection criteria were excluded, resulting in thirty included. These articles involve artificial intelligence techniques in six areas: periodontal, dental implantology, forensic dentistry, oral medicine and pathology, orthodontics, and diagnostics/dentistry. In addition, this review presents matters related to artificial intelligence in dentistry, including data security, ethical concerns, and developing dentists' skills. This article finds that deep learning methods are widely utilized in the growth of dentistry, as the results show the accuracy of the results obtained, which is equivalent to the accuracy of professionals, and that it contributes to reducing human errors and revolutionizing the improvement of patient outcomes.
Teachers’ Engagement in Online Professional Development—The Interplay of Online Professional Development Quality and Teacher Motivation
Authors: Fütterer Tim , Richter Eric , Richter Dirk
Published: April 2024

Effective online teacher professional development (OPD) is crucial to support teachers. The effectiveness of OPD depends on teachers' engagement. According to offer-use models, teachers' engagement in OPD relates to the OPD quality and teachers' motivation to learn. However, whereas OPD activities have increased in recent years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, findings on the importance of OPD quality and teachers' motivation to learn for teachers' engagement in OPD are scarce. We analyzed data from N = 593 teachers participating in 61 OPD courses. The predictive power of perceived OPD quality (i.e., clarity and structure, practical relevance, cognitive activation, and collaboration) and teachers' motivation to learn for their behavioral, affective, and cognitive engagement during OPD were examined using structural equation modeling. We used latent moderated structural equations to gain insights into the interaction effects between OPD quality and teachers' motivation. Our findings indicate that OPD quality positively predicted teachers' OPD engagement. When controlling for OPD quality, teachers' motivation to learn also predicted teachers' behavioral and cognitive engagement but not their affective engagement. The findings on the interactions between OPD quality and teachers' motivation demonstrated that for the different facets of teachers' OPD engagement, different OPD quality characteristics could compensate for low teacher motivation to learn. For instance, for behavioral engagement, opportunities for collaboration can compensate for low motivation. Implications for practice (e.g., ensuring high-quality OPD) and future directions in research (e.g., conducting longitudinal studies) in the field of OPD are discussed.
Sill propagation and climbing in layered crystalline host-rocks: Examples from saucer-shaped sills of the Faroe Islands
Authors: Hansen Jogvan
Published: April 2024

Mafic sills/dolerites, commonly occurring in layered sedimentary and crystalline settings worldwide, may occur as sub-lateral sheets or as saucer-shaped bodies. Values and distributions of Young’s Modulus within their ambient host-rocks determine their mode of emplacement. Current models on development of saucer-shaped sills depict either melt propagation from single sources along sub-lateral relatively weak layers, from which they abruptly climb/transgress through stronger layers at intervals, or they may evolve by radial melt propagation/intrusion from one or more sources, while gradually/continuously ascending/climbing through strong and weak layers alike. The first model invokes involvement of sill overburdens and overlying free surfaces, while the latter envisages closed igneous systems where host-rocks both above and below the advancing magmas are affected without involvement of overlying free surfaces. Margins of saucer-shaped sills, cropping out in the Faroe-Islands, offer new insight of sill evolvement in layered crystalline host-rocks. This study strongly suggests that the slightly upward-curving geometries of these sills stem from radial propagation/intrusion of thin magma fronts. Their melts likely propagated as lobes or thin magma-fingers in a mole-like fashion, without noticeably affecting the overlying free surfaces prior to the main inflation phases.
The New Developer: AI Skill Threat, Identity Change & Developer Thriving in the Transition to AI-Assisted Software Development
Authors: Hicks Catherine M. , Lee Carol S , Foster-Marks Kristen
Published: April 2024

In this research study, we share original empirical research with 3000+ software engineers and developers across 12+ industries engaged in the transition to Generative AI-assisted software work. We bring a human-centered approach to pressing questions that engineering organizations are facing on the rapidly-changing possibilities of AI-assisted coding. How are developers impacted by changing demands on their roles? Where might there be emerging equity & opportunity gaps in who has access to these new development capabilities? What are the risks to the quality of technical work, and the developer productivity, thriving, and motivation which drive that technical work? From this work we present a new evidence-based framework to help developers, engineering managers, and leaders as they grapple with failure to thrive in the transition to AI-assisted work: AI Skill Threat. AI Skill Threat describes developers’ fear, anxiety, and worry that their current skills will quickly become obsolete as they adapt to AI-assisted coding. Our framework also predicts when and why AI Skill Threat emerges: engineers who maintain a strong belief in competition and the demonstration of “innate brilliance” are more likely to report AI Skill Threat. However, engineers who report the presence of learning cultures and belonging are less likely to report AI Skill Threat. Finally, we document new and emerging equity and opportunity gaps for software teams adopting new tooling practices. AI Skill Threat is higher for Racially Minoritized developers, who also rate the overall quality of AI-assisted coding outputs significantly lower. Both female developers and LGBTQ+ developers were significantly less likely to report plans to upskilling for new AI-assisted workflows. These and other emerging differences point toward a critical need to understand how organizations ensure that AI-assisted coding adoption is equitable and accessible, and that key insights from developers with important perspectives on the risks of AI-assisted coding are heard.

Young children demonstrate improved metacognitive competence in social contexts
Authors: Meyer Marlene M. , Proft Marina , Engelmann Jan , rakoczy hannes
Published: April 2024

Metacognition – the capacity to represent and reflect upon our knowledge and its sources – is fundamental for higher cognition and learning. Yet, developmental research suggests that metacognition emerges surprisingly late, not before school age. However, this research has assumed that metacognition is optimized for private reflection and therefore tested children’s metacognitive judgments in individual settings. In contrast, recent theoretical approaches propose that metacognition may have a primarily social function and should therefore become most evident in socio-communicative contexts. To test this, we conducted two preregistered studies (N = 130) in which 3- and 5-year-old children participated in a social version of a well-established metacognition task (partial ignorance task). Children had to communicate their uncertainty towards a cooperative partner who relied on their advice. Even 3-year-olds demonstrated metacognitive competence under these conditions: They spontaneously and explicitly expressed uncertainty when they were partially ignorant, but not when they were knowledgeable. Two preregistered control studies (N = 65) confirmed that the enhanced metacognitive performance in the first two studies was indeed mainly due to the socio-communicative context rather than other factors. These findings support the claim that metacognition is primarily a socio-cognitive capacity.
Emotion rigidity in adolescents prospectively predicts future depressive symptoms assessed via self-report and clinical interview

Published: April 2024

Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by an elevated risk for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). To identify individuals at risk, the current study investigated whether emotional rigidity is a prospective predictor of depressive symptoms in adolescence using both self-reported and clinician-rated depression assessments. Adolescents (n=151, aged 12-18) completed self-reported and clinician-rated measures of depressive symptoms at baseline and every 6 months for two years. Additionally, they received one month of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys at baseline, reporting their emotions four times a day. Multilevel vector autoregressive models estimated temporal and contemporaneous density (operationalization of emotion rigidity) of subject-specific networks. Higher temporal and contemporaneous network density, as well as an aggregate density score, predicted greater future depressive symptoms controlling for baseline symptoms, as measured by either participants' self-report or clinician reports. These findings could contribute to early depression prevention by identifying and targeting rigid emotion dynamics in at-risk youth.
How visual experience shapes body representation

Published: April 2024

We do not have a veridical representation of our body in our mind. For instance, tactile distances of equal measure along the medial-lateral axis of our limbs are generally perceived as larger than those running along the proximal-distal axis. This anisotropy in tactile distances reflects distortions in body-shape representation, such that the body parts are perceived as wider than they are. While the origin of such anisotropy remains unknown, it has been suggested that visual experience could partially play a role in its manifestation. To causally test the role of visual experience on body shape representation, we investigated tactile distance perception in sighted and early blind individuals comparing medial-lateral and proximal-distal tactile distances of stimuli presented on the ventral and dorsal part of the forearm, wrist, and hand. Overestimation of distances in the medial-lateral over proximal-distal body axes were found in both sighted and blind people, but the magnitude of the anisotropy was significantly reduced in the forearms of blind people. We conclude that tactile distance perception is mediated by similar mechanisms in both sighted and blind people, but that visual experience can modulate the tactile distance anisotropy.
Age-related changes in size perception: A tale of three illusions
Authors: Mazuz Yarden , Kessler Yoav , Ganel Tzvi
Published: April 2024

As the global population ages, the understanding of the effect of aging on visual perception is of growing importance. This study investigates age-related changes in adulthood along size perception through the lens of three visual illusions: the Ponzo, Ebbinghaus, and the Height-width illusions. Utilizing the Bayesian conceptualization of the aging brain, which posits increased reliance on prior knowledge with age, we explored potential differences in the susceptibility to visual illusions across different age groups in adults (ages of 20-85 years). To this end, we used the BTPI (Ben-Gurion University Test for Perceptual Illusions), an online validated battery of visual illusions developed in our lab. The findings revealed distinct patterns of age-related changes for each of the illusions, challenging the idea of a generalized increase in reliance on prior knowledge with age. Specifically, we observed a systematic reduction in susceptibility to the Ebbinghaus illusion with age, while the susceptibility to the Height-width illusion increased with age. As for the Ponzo illusion, there were no significant changes with age. These results underscore the complexity of age-related changes in visual perception and converge with previous findings to support the idea that different visual illusions of size are mediated by distinct perceptual mechanisms.

The language people use in everyday life provides a window into the mind. Mind-wandering and dreams have been thought to reflect unique individual differences and mental health. Here we use a large dataset of mind-wandering (n=1619) and dream (n=1434) reports from 176 individuals in conjunction with graph theory applied to natural language. We find that dream reports have a more complex structure, while mind-wandering reports have fewer word repetitions and more verbose structure, with essential nodal points in the narrative flux. Dream reports tend to have more thematic repetitions, local cliques, and global integration. Capitalising on a repeated measures design, we found that the structure of dream and mind-wandering reports contains individual-specific information. Finally, we find that word centrality in dreams is predictive of depression symptoms. Thus, this approach is sensitive to individual differences, quantitatively differentiates two distinct contents of consciousness, and seems promising for cost-effective analyses of large naturalistically occurring qualitative datasets.
No evidence for differences in romantic love between young adult students and non-students
Authors: Bode Adam , Kowal Marta
Published: April 2024

Much psychological research relies heavily on university student samples. The same can be said of research on romantic love. This study is the first to investigate differences in romantic love expression and experiences between students and non-students experiencing romantic love. Data was drawn from the Romantic Love Survey 2022. Based on a binary logistic regression analysis, we found no association between student status and a number of romantic love proxies, including the number of times in ever in love, when participants fell in love relative to when they started their romantic relationship, intensity of romantic love, obsessive thinking about a loved one, commitment, or frequency of sex per week. The findings suggest that studies investigating romantic love using student samples should not be considered ungeneralizable simply because of the fact that students constitute the sample.
The Political Economy of Indian Indentured Labour in the 19th Century
Authors: Hui Nena , Kambhampati Uma
Published: April 2024

Abolition of slavery in British Colonies led to the facilitation of Indian indentured migration by the British Government. This form of migration came about when the discourse of economic freedom and individual liberty strongly resonated in British political-economy circles, following the work of Adam Smith and J S Mill. We analyse how unfreedom in indentured labour was rationalised when the rhetoric of freedom was essential to the dominant intellectual milieu. We consider why free labour was deemed unfeasible in the plantation colonies. We also consider the constraints that asymmetric information and unequal bargaining posed to freedom within the institution of indenture. We conclude that indenture represented an uneasy compromise between the problems of slavery and the unattainable goal of free labour.
Carl Snyder, the Real Bills Doctrine, and the New York Fed in the Great Depression
Authors: Hetzel Robert L. , Humphrey Thomas M. , Tavlas George S.
Published: April 2024

Carl Snyder was one of the most prominent U.S. monetary economists of the 1920s and 1930s. His pioneering work on constructing the empirical counterparts of the terms in the equation of exchange led him to formulate a four percent monetary growth rule. Snyder is especially apposite because he was on the staff of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Despite his pioneering empirical work and his position as an insider, why did Snyder fail to effectively challenge the dominant real bills views of the Federal Reserve (Fed)? A short answer is that he did not possess a convincing version of the quantity theory that attributed the Great Depression to a contraction in the money stock produced by the Fed as opposed to the dominant real bills view attributing it to the collapse of speculative excess.
Identity Diversification and Homogenization: Evidence from Frequent Estimates of Similarity of Self-Authored, Self-Descriptive Text
Authors: Vahabli Danial , Jones Jason Jeffrey
Published: April 2024

For more than a decade, individuals composed and edited self-authored self-descriptions as social media biographies. Did these identities become more diverse over time because of a "rise in individualism" and increasing tolerance or did they become more homogenous through social learning, conformity, and fear of isolation? We analyzed longitudinal and cross-sectional Twitter bio samples with a variety of lexical and semantic methods for the 2012-2022 interval. We show that longitudinally, users diversified on lexical and semantic levels. On a cross-sectional sample - representing the state of the platform at any time point – we again observed a trend of diversification at the lexical level, but a trend of diversification reversed toward re-homogenization on the semantic level. Further, by focusing on local maxima and minima of identity similarity we identified “coordination shocks” - temporally confined intervals where similar users became overactive on the platform and drove short-term deviations from longer-term trends.

The purpose of this article is to apply the Norm Activation Model to examine the impacts of religious beliefs (intrinsic religiosity, extrinsic religiosity spirituality, karma belief) on green purchase intention. This is the first assessment on the impact of religious beliefs on the green purchase intention of Buddhist and non-religious groups in Vietnam. Data was collected from 623 consumers. Partial least squares (PLS), a variance-based structural equation - modeling technique, was selected to test the research model and hypotheses. The findings reveal that religious beliefs have positive impacts on green purchase intentions in a developing context. Karma belief, intrinsic religiosity and extrinsic religiosity positively influence green purchase intention. Spirituality does not have direct effects on green purchase intention. The results give insights into religious factors associated with green-related behaviors. Understanding religion’s complex connections with eco-conscious decision-making allows for culturally tailored interventions. Theoretical contribution as well as managerial implications of this study, especially for green marketing practitioners are discussed

Published: April 2024

In the era of globalization and intensifying market competition, purchasing decisions have become crucial in product or service marketing strategies. The complexity of these decisions is a central focus for researchers and business practitioners seeking to understand dynamic consumer behavior. Brand image, viral marketing, and purchase interest play key roles in shaping these decisions. Brand image shapes consumer perceptions, while viral marketing effectively introduces products or services to broad audiences. Purchase interest reflects consumer desires and intentions. This study investigates the relationship between these factors and their impact on purchasing decisions in the Indonesian market, focusing on Store Cabang Jember and Lumajang as a case study. Using quantitative methods, data was collected through questionnaires from 100 respondents. Results show significant influences of brand image, viral marketing, and purchase interest on purchasing decisions. These findings provide valuable insights for companies designing effective marketing strategies to navigate dynamic market challenges, particularly in Jember and Lumajang's fashion industry. The research utilizes Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS) for data analysis. The study concludes that while brand image does not significantly influence purchasing decisions, viral marketing and purchase interest positively and significantly impact these decisions.

Published: April 2024

This research aims to delve into the phenomenon of Electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) in two regions with the highest digital platform users, namely Bojonegoro Regency and Lumajang Regency. The digital era is increasingly shaping a group consistently exposed to online information and interactions, while internet infrastructure in both regions is developing. The impact of eWOM on students' perceptions, preferences, and behaviors, especially in terms of selecting educational institutions, and social interactions within the campus environment are explored. The findings of this study provide insights for educational institutions and students to optimize the benefits and manage risks related to the eWOM phenomenon in specific local contexts. A sample of 284 individuals was selected using probability sampling techniques, and data collection was done using validated and reliable questionnaires. Data analysis techniques employed include partial analysis and multiple regressions. From the analysis results, it is concluded that Electronic Word of Mouth significantly influences purchasing decisions, with pricing also playing a crucial role in product purchasing decisions. Competitive pricing indicators emerge as the most influential in purchasing decisions. The higher the level of eWOM, the higher the decision to visit consumers, and vice versa. This conclusion implies that creating positive eWOM can increase the number of purchases for companies, and price management influences purchasing decisions, especially in the context of online shopping platforms such as Shopee.

Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçe Öğretimi Sertifika Programı Katılımcılarının İkinci Dil Edinimine İlişkin Farkındalıkları
Authors: Atak Ata
Published: April 2024

Öğrenicilerin dili nasıl işlemledikleri, onu nasıl alındıya dönüştürdükleri, yeni bir dil dizgesinin nasıl geliştiği ve iletişim kurmak için bilgiye nasıl eriştikleri gibi sorularla dil öğretiminin temelini oluşturan ikinci dil edinimine hiçbir öğreticiler için yabancı dil olarak Türkçe sertifika programı içeriğinde yer verilmemektedir. Oysaki ikinci dil edinimi araştırmaları, öğreticilerin kendileri ve öğrencileri için uygun beklentileri belirlemelerine yardımcı olacak önemli bir bilgi kaynağıdır (Lightbown, 2000). Bu çerçevede bu araştırmanın amacı, öğreticiler için yabancılara Türkçe sertifika programına katılmış olan öğretici adaylarının ikinci dil edinimine ilişkin farkındalıklarının test edilmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Lightbown & Spada (2006; 2021) tarafından hazırlanmış dil öğrenimi ve öğretimi hakkındaki popüler görüşlerden oluşan etkinlikten uyarlanan sormaca gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak çevrimiçi uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları bir bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde katılımcıların ikinci dil edinimiyle ilgili birçok konuda bilgi sahibi olmadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak sertifika programlarının öğreticilerin alan bilgisi, pedagoji bilgisi, pedagojik alan bilgisini geliştirmeye yönelik olarak tekrar düzenlenmesi gerektiği ve alan bilgisi içeriğinde ikinci dil edinimi dersinin bulunması gerektiği önerilmektedir.
