Consciousness, the Full Stack: Four-Layer Architecture = Language on Mind on STFC
Authors: Sipfle Karl
Published: February 2022

We define a reference Architecture for consciousness to assist further research and discussion and we explain the motivations for its form. We present a set of postulates and basic hypotheses. We explain metatheory of consciousness, implied by and supported by the postulates, hypotheses, and architecture. We further start to dig into a theory within the various individual Layers of the Architecture.While much work has been done by many this has not led to an understanding of fundamental consciousness. We know a good deal about how the networks of neurons in our heads calculate and process information, shedding light on how we think. This does not tell us how we feel. A mind is thinking plus, especially, feeling. In this article we consider basic mechanisms, the missing explanatory glue from the physical world to value and consciousness. We thus lay out the Sentonic Theory of Fundamental Consciousness (STFC) as principles of operation of the bottom half of the Architecture in real brains.
Manual or Automatic? Putting standardized EEG-Preprocessing to the Test with the Alpha-Asymmetries of Personality
Authors: Schneider Javier
Published: February 2022

Evidence suggests that replication of empirical findings in many fields of research is seldom warranted. As a result, #EEGManyLabs Resting State EEG Asymmetry emerged to assess the replicability of landmark studies in psychophysiology. One potential factor that hinders replication is human subjectivity during EEG-preprocessing. To overcome this issue, the fully standardized preprocessing toolbox ‘Automagic’ (Pedroni, Bahreini, & Langer, 2019) was developed. The goal of the present work was to execute a test-run on Automagic to help assess its adequacy for the project’s purposes. Specifically, we examined the effect of automated preprocessing compared to traditional approaches on the analysis of frontal alpha asymmetries of personality. Forty-eight participants filled out the German BIS/BAS (Strobel, Beauducel, Debener, & Brocke, 2001) questionnaire, as well as the German RST-PQ Pugnaghi, Cooper, Ettinger, & Corr, 2018, among others. Next, we recorded 10 mins. of resting-state EEG twice, varying eye status (i.e., closed or opened) from each participant. All datasets were subsequently preprocessed in both Automagic and Brain Vision Analyzer. Measures based on signal amplitude as well as reliability estimates were computed to assess the quality of preprocessed EEG-data across methods. Furthermore, average alpha power from frontal, parietal, and occipital sites was extracted and used to compute asymmetry scores. Partial correlations between asymmetry scores and personality measures were computed, controlling for handedness, gender, and sleepiness. Additionally, we examined the moderating role of covariates using multiple regression analyses. Standardized preprocessing yielded better data quality in all considered aspects. No association between asymmetry scores and personality measures could be found, except when excluding influential data points. Employing different preprocessing approaches did not change our observations substantially. We consider standardized preprocessing a suitable option for large-scale multicentered replication projects. Our results support past research casting doubt on the robustness of the frontal alpha asymmetry of personality.
Cyber war: The hidden side of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis
Authors: Mohee Ahmad
Published: February 2022

Conventional political analysts point out that a Russian-Ukrainian military confrontation, if it does occur, could have its cyber repercussions. Cyber specialists are aware that behind all this is a cyber-war, whose battles have already begun and whose victims have multiplied since 2014.This article aims to shed light on the history of the Russian-Ukrainian cyber war and the most important operations that took place during it. It also sheds light on the cyber capabilities of both sides, and prospects the future of cyber war for both sides and the role of the United States of America and the European Union in it.While Ukraine suffers lack of cyber security expertise, poor regulation, limited response capacity and lack of coordination between cyber related agencies, Kiev is aware of the strength of the Russian cyber capabilities and is currently in a race against time to reduce the gap and improve means of defense and cyber deterrence in cooperation with allies, especially the United States and the European Union.
Public Gender Egalitarianism: A Dataset of Dynamic Comparative Public Opinion Toward Egalitarian Gender Roles in the Public Sphere
Authors: Woo Byung-Deuk , Allemang Lindsey , Solt Frederick
Published: February 2022

Societal attitudes toward gender roles in the workplace and politics play a central part in theorizing on the difficulty women face in achieving political equality, but shortcomings in the available data have prevented direct examination of many implications of these theories. Drawing on recent advances in latent variable modeling of public opinion and a comprehensive collection of survey data, we present the Public Gender Egalitarianism dataset to address this need: comparable estimates of the public’s attitudes on gender equality in the public sphere across more than one hundred countries over time. These PGE scores are strongly correlated with responses to individual survey items and with women’s rates of participation in the labor force and corporate boards. We expect that the PGE data will become an invaluable source for broadly cross-national and longitudinal research on the causes and consequences of collective attitudes toward gender equality in the public sphere.
Experimentality, Surplus Data and the Politics of Debilitation in Borderzones
Authors: Aradau Claudia
Published: February 2022

The use of digital devices and the collection of digital data have become pervasive in borderzones. Whether deployed by state or non-state actors, digital devices are rolled out despite intense criticism and controversy. In this article, I propose to approach these interventions through the prism of experimentality. Experimentality was initially formulated in the anthropological literature on the globalisation of clinical trials and, more recently, revisited in feminist science and technology studies. Drawing on this work, I argue that experimentality has become a rationality of governing in borderzones, which renders social relations continuously decomposable and recomposable by inserting mundane (digital) devices into the world. The introduction of various digital devices in Greece since 2015, starting with Skype for the pre-registration of asylum seekers, helps shed light on a particular form of governing through experiments without protocol. This form of experimentality has specific political effects for migrants’ lives. Firstly, experimentality builds upon and intensifies neoliberalism by rearranging rather than redressing precarity. In so doing, experimentality through digital devices produces debilitation rather than better connectivity or access to asylum. Secondly, migrants become not only subjects of surveillance, but subjects of extraction of ‘surplus data’ which entangles their lives into the circuits of digital platforms.
Factors Influencing Sand Re-liquefaction in Shaking Table Test
Authors: Nepal Dikshit Babu , Deng Jianliang , Chen Jinjian , Pokhrel Prakriti
Published: February 2022

Cases of historical earthquakes show that liquefied sand deposits may undergo re-liquefaction yet again by a succeeding earthquake. However various factors such as the depth of sand deposits, peak ground acceleration, and shaking duration of an earthquake can affect the re-liquefaction occurrence. To understand this underlying mechanism, a series of shaking table experiments were performed by varying the depth of sand model, peak ground acceleration, and shaking duration of input motion. The excess pore water pressure and the acceleration response of the sandy model in the process of re-liquefaction in the sand were measured. The test result demonstrated that during a subsequent re-liquefaction, shear wave propagation mechanism and the number of times sand re-liquefy varies with the depth of sand model suggesting that the re-liquefaction resistance is depth-dependent, and the soil layer near the surface is most likely to be liquefied. The analysis by varying peak ground acceleration and shaking duration of input motion indicated that the model subjected to shorter duration and higher peak ground acceleration of input motion have a greater tendency to re-liquefy in multiple number of shaking, signifying that the conventional strategy for liquefaction resistance needs to be improved before it can be implemented for the analysis of site liquefaction. Based on the findings of parametric studies, there exists a critical liquefaction void ratio within a zone with which we can forecast the presence or absence of liquefaction in the future earthquakes.

Authors: Paudel Sushil , Agal SN , Kumar Vinish
Published: February 2022

Nepal has not been able to harness its growth potential on information technology outsourcing on the borders of two of the world's largest outsourcing providers – India and China – due to prolonged political instability. The IT outsourcing industry plays a major role in driving socio-economic growth. The success of IT outsourcing is largely dependent upon the vendor's internal strength, industry-specific environmental factors, and country-specific policies. This research is focused on outsourcing strategies on vendor’s perspective, as many emerging markets continue to struggle to establish a foothold in the international market. A snowball sampling method was used to collect quantitative data among the respondents inside Kathmandu valley and respondents were outsourcing companies, freelancers, consultants, and policymakers. Variables were drawn from the the expert's input and literature review. Data were properly tested for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha, and results were validated using convergent and discriminant validity. The analysis included descriptive analysis followed by structural equation modelling. The study identified six key strategic factors for emerging market: banking priority to IT outsourcing industry, growth capacity of the service provider, intellectual property, country specific specialization, foreign direct investment, and the HR structure of the vendor. It is suggested that policymakers of emerging nations include IT outsourcing in an economic strategy and prepare baseline framework incorporating these success factors.
Application of Management Accounting Techniques in the Nepalese Manufacturing Firms
Authors: Dahal Rewan Kumar
Published: February 2022

MA (Management Accounting) data is intended to help users make managerial choices and support organizational activities. This study examined the use of MATs (Management Accounting Techniques) in NMFs (Nepalese Manufacturing Firms) and their progression. The study was based on 291 survey responses of employees from 18 operative listed NMFs. Nineteen MATs were observed in a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 'significantly less' to 'significantly more'. The study's outcomes revealed that the average usage scores of 3.47 (with SD = 0.998) indicated that the NMFs were significantly applying the MATs in their organizational activities and processes. In addition, the moderate user rate of contemporary MATs (45.7 %) was higher than the moderate use rate of traditional MATs (34.5 %), indicating that the NMFs were gradually incorporating the contemporary MATs alongside the traditional MATs. Failure to align appropriate MATs with business processes could lead to managerial misinterpretations. As a result, the study's findings offer a wealth of information and direction to businesses in NMFs.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas Cognitive Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CT-SP) berbasis internet dengan pendekatan kelompok untuk mengurangi ide bunuh diri pada mahasiswa. Mahasiswa mengalami masa yang menantang saat memasuki jenjang pendidikan tinggi karena transisi perkembangan dari remaja akhir menuju dewasa awal. Dalam masa transisi ini, mahasiswa mungkin mengalami tekanan atau masalah psikologis yang menjadi faktor resiko terkait ide bunuh diri. Wenzel et al., (2009) mendefinisikan ide bunuh diri sebagai pikiran, gambar, keyakinan, suara, atau kognisi lain yang dilaporkan oleh individu untuk mengakhiri hidupnya sendiri. CT-SP menunjukkan efektivitas dalam menurunkan ide bunuh diri, namun untuk pendekatan online belum diketahui. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kelompok kontrol pretest posttest. Subjek adalah mahasiswa yang berstatus aktif di perguruan tinggi negeri dan swasta yang berusia 18-25 tahun. Subyek berjumlah 14 orang yang dibagi dalam kelompok ekperimen dan kelompok kontrol. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Scale of Suicidal Ideation (Beck et al., 1979). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perbedaan skor ide bunuh diri pada kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol sebelum dan sesudah diberikan intervensi, dengan sig. 0.011 (sig.< 0,05) dan nilai effect size 1.595 (kategori efektivitas besar). Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa intervensi CT-SP berbasis internet dengan pendekatan kelompok efektif dalam menurunkan ide bunuh diri mahasiswa.

Authors: Mariyanti Delia , Saidin Saidin , Zaidar Zaidar
Published: February 2022

Land Deed Making Officials (henceforth referred to as PPAT) is the public official who is authorized to make authentic deeds concerning certain legal action regarding land or property rights over flat units. PPAT is demanded to work carefully, thoroughly and responsibly because the PPAT deed is used as evidence for the transfer of land rights. When PPAT is negligent in making the deed then it may result in loss for others. As in the Supreme Court verdict No.156K/Pdt/2020, where PPAT has been negligent in making the deed and resulted loss experienced by the buyer due to the loss payment and the land he had purchased. Even though the buyer has made sale and purchase clearly before the PPAT, that PPAT deed should be able to provide legal certainty. Therefore, this research is trying to analyze and answer the problems on to what extend is the legal accountability of PPAT when the sale and purchase deed of inherited land that made before him is cancelled by the Supreme Court, to what extend is the legal protection for buyer against the negligence committed by PPAT in making the sale and purchase deed of inherited land that has not been divided and whether judge’s decision in the Supreme Court verdict No.156K/Pdt/2020 has accommodated protection for the buyer.

Drainage is one of the infrastructure facilities for people’s lives in urban areas, but unfortunately there are many drainages that do not function properly so that drainage seems useless. One of the functions of drainage is as a building to prevent flooding and control water in an area, but in fact floods still occur, one of which is in the Kampung Lalang area, where one of the causes is the mismatch between the flood discharge and the size of the channel dimensions. Biopore infiltration drainage is one solution to overcome this problem where some of the overflow water will be returned to groundwater.

The division of GENDER
Authors: Steriopolo Olga
Published: February 2022

The paper investigates the connection between grammatical gender of human nouns and social gender and biological sex of their referents, focusing on the instances of mismatch between them. We analyze data from various languages and conclude that discrepancies between the biological sex of an individual and grammatical gender used in reference to that individual can be accounted for via sociological factors, namely the social roles, status and social behaviours that are considered (in)appropriate in a given society. We propose a pyramid structure, in which grammatical gender is based on social gender, and social gender, in turn, operates in relation to the assumed biological sex of a referent. We show that although there is not always a canonical correspondence between the three levels of the pyramid, there is a hierarchical dependence of the diff erent gender levels upon each other.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered a promising realm of innovation and revenue generation for the forthcoming years, revolutionizing the way we interact with objects, other people and the world. With an unprecedented but realistic target of trillions of interconnected devices, the IoT calls for technological innovations that lie in the heart of rapid, low-energy and user-friendly communication between people and things. In this respect, the Near Field Communication (NFC) protocol offers advanced efficiency and applicability with low energy consumption, ease of use, flexibility, and increased payload. NFC tags may be embedded in everyday objects, including clothing and apparel, offering an immersive user experience. Wearable NFC antennas and NFC tags embedded in clothing have been presented in the past; nonetheless, in this paper we present, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported development of a NFC antenna on leather substrate. The proposed antenna is sewn using stainless steel thread and operates at the 13.56 MHz frequency range. It may be used alongside with NFC tags in leather apparel like clothing, shoes, accessories, etc., thus extending the possible use cases and applications of the NFC technology and offering an all the more immersive experience for the end user.

Classical Islamic Principles and Present Islamic Banking
Authors: Minhas Imran Hussain
Published: February 2022

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess perception of the stakeholders about Islamic banking and find out approaches to make it closer to the Shari’ah.

Methodology – The paper adopts direct survey approach to find out perception of stakeholders about the Islamic banking. The survey results have been evaluated using Ordinary Least Square method.  

Findings – The paper reveals that respondents have negative perception about the present form of Islamic banking, due to multiple similarities in conventional and Islamic banking products and operations. The respondents supported the idea of different model of Islamic banking.

Research limitations – The study relies solely on the opinion of limited number of respondents, living in few major cities of Pakistan.  It does not provide any empirical evidence for the proposed model of Islamic banking.

Practical Implications – Riba is significantly condemned and prohibited in Islam. Therefore, avoiding riba in all business transactions is very important for our faith. Islamic world started practicing banking under the branding of Islam which has approval of a sizable group of Islamic scholars but still there is no consensus among the Islamic scholars on this issue. This paper helps in addressing perception issues and suggests a future direction of Islamic banking for the customers, practitioners and the regulators.

Originality – Many researchers have questioned the Shariah compliance and perception issues of Islamic Banking but most of them have suggested only awareness programs. This research proposes a new model for Islamic banking which has not been witnessed in any other research.  

Keywords: Islamic Banking and Finance, Perception, Criticism, Regulations, Regulator, New Model.

Par leurs caractéristiques diverses, les maladies chroniques ont une résonance sociale, économique, biomédicale et politique. En comparant l’expérience quotidienne de malades atteints de rhumatismes inflammatoires et de malades atteints d’insuffisance rénale chronique, cet ouvrage – issu d’une thèse de doctorat – analyse les conséquences de ces pathologies sur la vie quotidienne des personnes affectées, les facteurs qui contribuent à leur émergence et les stratégies de gestion développées par les malades. À travers un regard éclectique du vécu des patients, il permet de comprendre comment les malades vivent et perçoivent leur maladie. La compréhension de l’expérience subjective de la maladie chronique contribue à mieux cibler la réflexion concernant les réels besoins des malades, permettant aux professionnels de la santé d’adapter leurs pratiques professionnelles et au milieu politique de mieux ajuster les politiques sociosanitaires.

Introdução: O tratamento precoce do câncer infantojuvenil possibilita um prognostico significativo para o paciente, aumentando a sobrevida e diminuindo os riscos de complicações oncológicas, o que torna imperiosa a sua instituição o mais rápido possível. Objetivo: Analisar os fatores associados a instituição precoce do tratamento oncológico na população pediátrica brasileira. Método: Estudo ecológico, com dados de casos de todos os tipos de câncer diagnosticados no Brasil de 2013 a 2019, na população infantojuvenil (0 a 19 anos), disponibilizados no PAINEL-Oncologia. Resultados: Foram incluídos 39.711 casos, dos quais 29.381 (74%) realizaram o tratamento oportuno, isto e, 30 dias antes do prazo máximo estipulado pela Lei Federal no. 12.732/12. Entre os principais fatores associados ao maior tempo até a chegada a instituição terapêutica, destacam-se: neoplasias malignas, com modalidade terapêutica não cirúrgica, residentes da Região Norte, entre 11 e 19 anos, e neoplasias que acometem os olhos e o Sistema Nervoso Central. Conclusão: Os achados deste estudo apontam dados essenciais, em consonância com a literatura, para visualização da situação atual do tratamento oncológico na população infantojuvenil no Brasil, ao mesmo tempo que demostram problemáticas que, se solucionadas, podem contribuir significativamente para a queda da morbimortalidade.

Hoy en día la movilidad es un problema de las ciudades [1] que puede ser resuelto por nuevas tecnologías como la visión computacional y algoritmos de optimización para diseñar sistemas de control que puedan adaptarse a los fenómenos de flujo vehicular que existen en las ciudades, para evitar la congestión y optimizar el flujo vehicular, reduciendo los tiempos de espera y mejorando la coordinación de distribución de los tiempos de espera de los semáforos en las intersecciones; por estas razones proponemos un enfoque de semáforo inteligente basado en prioridades que miden el número de vehículos que pasan en las calles con una cámara de video y distribuyen el tiempo dependiendo de la capacidad de flujo de las calles en una intersección aislada, en los resultados se puede observar que el tamaño de las colas de espera y los tiempos se reducen significativamente.

Nowadays the mobility is a problem of the cities [1] that can be supported by new technologies such as computer vision and optimization algorithms to design control systems that can adapt to the phenomena of traffic flow that exists in cities, to avoid congestion and optimize the vehicular flow, reducing wait times and improving coordination to the time distributions of traffic lights at intersections, for these reasons we propose an approach of smart traffic lights system control based on priorities measuring the number of vehicles passing with a video cam and spreading the time depending on the flow capacity of the streets at an isolated intersection, in the results it can be observed that the size of the waiting queues is reduced.

Наявність в економіці диспропорцій потребує системного їх виявлення та ретельного дослідження, враховуючи перспективні напрямки щодо розбудови високотехнологічних та інноваційних секторів національної економіки, що саме диктується потребами сучасності та глобальними тенденціями розвитку. Балансування національної економіки, протиріччя у соціально-економічних процесах представляють собою рушійну силу, яка викликає нові хвилі змін і, як наслідок, формує можливості щодо розвитку певних елементів макроекономічного середовища. Методичні підходи до моделювання індикаторів соціально-економічного зростання, які впливають на національну економіку, передбачають комплексне мультилатеральне дослідження впливу якісних і кількісних складових макроекономічного середовища, умов мобілізації інноваційних джерел зростання та вдосконалення системи індикаторів економічного розвитку на основі виокремлення типологічних ознак та врахуванні економічних диспропорцій. Зазначені процеси забезпечують оптимальну інструментальну підтримку оцінки соціально-економічних процесів за умови структурних зрушень в національній економіці.
