Reliance on central vs. peripheral vision for visual search in younger and older adults
Authors: Laurin Anne-Sophie , Ouerfelli-Éthier Julie , Pisella Laure , Khan Aarlenne Zein
Published: August 2020

Older adults show declines performing visual search, but their nature is unclear. We propose that it is related to greater attentional reliance on central vision. To investigate this, we tested how occluding central vision would affect younger and older adults in visual search. Participants (14 younger, M = 21.6 years; 16 older, M = 69.6 years) performed pop-out and serial search tasks in full view and with different sized gaze-contingent artificial central scotomas (no scotoma, 3°, 5° or 7° diameter).In pop-out search, older adults showed longer search times for peripheral targets during full viewing. Their reaction times, saccades and fixation durations also increased as a function of scotoma size, contrary to younger adults. These declines may reflect a relative impairment in peripheral visual attention for global processing in aging.In serial search, despite older adults being generally slower, we found no difference between groups in reaction time increases for eccentric targets and for bigger scotomas. These results may come from the difficulty of serial search, in which both groups used centrally limited attentional windows.We conclude that older adults allocate more attentional resources towards central vision compared to younger adults, impairing their peripheral processing primarily in pop-out visual search.
Propositional accounts of implicit evaluation: Taking stock and looking ahead
Authors: Kurdi Benedek , Dunham Yarrow
Published: August 2020

Associative accounts suggest that implicit (indirectly measured) evaluations are sensitive primarily to co-occurrence information (e.g., pairings of gorges with positive experiences) and are represented associatively (e.g., GORGE–NICE). By contrast, recent propositional accounts have argued that implicit evaluations are also responsive to relational information (e.g., gorges causing vs. preventing ennui) and are represented propositionally (e.g., “I find gorges fascinating”). In a review of 30 empirical papers involving exposure to contradictory co-occurrence information and relational information, we found overwhelming evidence for the latter dominating the updating of implicit evaluations, supporting the propositional perspective. However, unlike explicit evaluations, implicit evaluations seem recalcitrant in the face of relational information that requires retrospective revaluation of already encoded co-occurrence information. These findings may be jointly explained by a “common currency” hypothesis under which implicit evaluations emerge from compressed summary representations, which are sensitive to relational information but are not fully propositional.

IntroductionThe rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 coupled with inefficient testing capacities in Bangladesh has resulted in a number of deaths from COVID-19-like symptoms that have no official test results. Insufficient test sites and healthcare facilities catered to COVID-19 has led to feelings of fear and frustration in those who are sick. This study was the first study which explored the mental health of adults with the most common COVID-19-like symptoms in Bangladesh.MethodsThis retrospective case control study gathered data via an online survey to explore the mental health of Bangladeshi adults with symptoms akin to COVID-19. Level of stress, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms were measured with the DASS-21. Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression was performed to examine the association of variables. ResultsThe prevalence rates of anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms of overall population were 26.9% and 52.0% respectively and 55.6% reported mild to extremely severe levels of stress. Multivariate logistic regression determined that respondents with COVID-19-like symptoms (case) reported higher odds for stress level (AOR: 2.043; CI: 1.51-2.76), anxiety symptoms (AOR: 2.770; CI: 2.04-3.77) and depressive symptoms (AOR: 1.482; CI: 1.12-1.96) than asymptomatic respondents (control). ConclusionPatients with symptoms like those of COVID-19 should be prioritized in the healthcare setting in order to reduce mental health difficulties throughout the pandemic.

Meethirigala forest reserve consists of approximately 384 ha. It is the largest forest reserve in Gampaha District managed by the Forest Department. It has different topographic positions such as ridges, midslopes and valley areas close to the Kelani River. The present study was conducted to enumerate plant species found in all three topographic positions of the reserve. Plots were demarcated purposively to sample woody perennials equal or greater than 5 cm dbh (diameter at breast height) in 18 plots (5×100 m, rectangular shape). Seedlings greater than 1 m tall were sampled in 18 plots (5×5 m). Shannon diversity indices were calculated to compare dominance of particular species in different topographic positions. A total of 360 individuals of woody perennials belonging to 73 species in ridge, 368 individuals of woody perennials belonging to 100 species in midslope and 272 individuals of woody perennials belonging to 69 species in valley were recorded. And 132, 123 and 100 individuals of seedlings were enumerated in ridge, midslope and valley respectively. In ridge 58 generas, 28 families, in midslope 83 generas, 35 families and, in valley 68 generas, 29 families were observed. 28 species were found in all three different altitudes of the reserve. Forest species in study sites gave a total of 138 plant species belonging to 113 tree species, 11 climber species, 14 shrub species, 109 generas and 46 families. Of this total 138 species, 34 (25%) species are endemic to Sri Lanka. Highest endemism was recorded in the ridge (41.6%). Stratification of the ridge showed a very similar pattern to a Dipterocarp forest type. Highest diversity was recorded in midslope (1.7290) and lowest recorded in ridge (1.5626) of the forest. 18 threatened species were observed (3-Endangered and 15-vulnerable species). As a conclusion, Meethirigala forest reserve can be considered as an important refuge for wet zone forest species.
Influence of Agroforestry on Rural Income and Livelihood of Smallholder Farmers in the Semi-Arid Region of Sub Saharan Africa
Authors: Kinyili B.M. , Ndunda E. , Kitur E.
Published: August 2020

Semi-arid lands typically suffer from sustainable land use challenges including climate variability, declining agricultural productivity, low economic prowess and poor livelihood conditions. In order to sustainably address these challenges, agroforestry has been fronted as a critical entry point allowing for the integration of trees on farms and diversification of production in agricultural landscapes. Nevertheless, the contribution of agroforestry to socio-economic and rural livelihood in several developing countries remains debatable. This study determined the influence of agroforestry on rural income and livelihood of smallholder farmers in Machakos county (Kenya). The study was conducted using survey research design from a sample of 248 smallholder farmers, who were selected using stratified, random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. Results showed that agroforestry was adopted by 82% of the smallholder farmers as a strategy for livelihood improvement in the region. Total income was higher among adopters from timber, fuel wood, posts/poles and fodder. Adopters also had more money to spend on food, clothing, education, medicine and basic needs as a result of revenues from agroforestry. The overall gross revenue, net returns above variable costs and total costs were also higher among adopters compared to the non adopters due to sales of agroforestry products. The study recommends adoption of agroforestry as a strategy to boost rural income and livelihood.

Past research has linked poor psychosocial adjustment among children who express gender nonconformity (GNC) to poor peer relations (e.g., facing ridicule and rejection); however, very little research has explored whether it is possible to improve children’s appraisals of GNC. The present study attempted to replicate a previous intervention that was conducted among 8- to 9-year-old children from Hong Kong that successfully improved children’s appraisals of gender-nonconforming peers. Specifically, it tested whether the same intervention was successful at improving appraisals of gender-nonconforming peers in a sample of children from Canada and among both 4- to 5-year-old and 8- to 9-year-old children. To do so, we employed an experimental vignette design among 4- to 5-year-old ( n = 176; 48% girls) and 8- to 9-year-old ( n = 182; 49% girls) children. In the intervention condition, targets were presented who displayed mostly gender-nonconforming preferences, some gender-conforming preferences, and positive attributes. Following the intervention, participants’ appraisals of gender-nonconforming and gender-conforming targets were assessed through verbal reports, a sharing task, and a rank-order task. Overall, the intervention did not improve appraisals of GNC, and there were no differences based on age or gender of the participants, or gender of the targets. We discuss possible reasons why there was a cultural difference in the effectiveness of the intervention and how future intervention work in this area might be strengthened.

Kamikaze Truckers in Postwar Japan
Authors: Roth Joshua Hotaka
Published: August 2020

Many Japanese workers in lower-paying positions were drawn to the growing trucking sector in the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by contingency and the thrill of risk and reward, in contrast to the stasis of lifetime employment guarantees emerging in other sectors of the economy. The gamified reward structure in trucking, however, led to a spike in traffic accidents and a backlash against “kamikaze trucks.” Only after regulations and enforcement limited the most dangerous kinds of incentives did meaningful forms of play emerge at work from the bottom up, rather than the stultified forms imposed by businesses from the top down.
Mobilizing Malian-Diasporic Identities
Authors: Hasenöhrl Syntia
Published: August 2020

Whereas identities in postmodern societies are increasingly celebrated as mobile and fluid for agents from the Global North, agents from African societies face sedentarizing discourses. Recent research has shown that digital media play an ambivalent role in this process. This article explores the circulation of migration-related news on a Malian-diasporic online news portal during the month of December 2016. It argues that Southern online news and user interactions with them can mobilize African identity constructions in opposition to sedentarist hegemonic discourses in three ways: (1) the traveling of articles across space reconstructs the complexities of Malian mobilities; (2) user profiling and interactions produce non-sedentarist narratives about mobile Malians; and (3) the circulation of specific expressions and content questions fixed connections of identities and territories.

Published: August 2020

The previous research described estimated closeness of optimum piecewise constant section width in I-rods with stability or first eigen-frequency limits to the predicted minimum material consumption with regard to strength requirements in continuous change in variable rod parameters. It is however known that in construction, rods are generally designed with piecewise constant change in the section parameters. Besides, in another work, the criterion was formulated for assessment of optimum solutions of piecewise constant sections of I-rods with stability or the first eigen-frequency limits, without considering the strength requirements. This paper focuses on a more general problem of estimated closeness of optimum piecewise constant section width in I-rods with stability or first eigen-frequency limits to the predicted minimum material consumption with regard to strength requirements.

Authors: Maroń Grzegorz
Published: August 2020

W artykule przedstawiono genezę, ewolucję i stan obecny katolickich szkół prawniczych w USA na tle zachodzących zmian społecznych i kulturowych. Od lat 60-70. minionego stulecia większość z nominalnie katolickich szkół prawniczych w Stanach Zjednoczonych praktycznie nie różni się od swoich świeckich odpowiedników. W ocenie Autora wyraźną katolicką tożsamość tych szkół należy kształtować, kierując się postanowieniami Konstytucji apostolskiej Jana Pawła II Ex Corde Ecclesiae. W pierwszej kolejności tożsamość ta powinna przejawiać się w działalności badawczo-dydaktycznej. Program nauczania studentów oraz twórczość naukowa wykładowców powinny uwzględniać bogatą katolicką tradycję filozoficzno-teologiczną. Katolickie szkoły prawnicze, nie tylko te w Stanach Zjednoczonych, są powołane do integralności religijnej tożsamości z pełnym profesjonalizmem, wiary z rozumem, respektowania katolickiej doktryny i moralności z działaniem ściśle naukowym i krytycznym ukierunkowanym na poszukiwanie i głoszenie obiektywnej prawdy, przekazywania wiedzy studentom z ich duchowo-intelektualną formacją.

PRECISE PHASE PORTRAIT CONSTRUCTION FOR AN INVERTED PENDULUM USING CUBIC BEZIER CURVES
Authors: DINDIŞ Gökhan , KARAMANCIOĞLU Abdurrahman
Published: August 2020

A cubic Bezier curve formulation is used for generating phase portrait of an inverted pendulum system. Assuming that the cart and pendulum masses, pendulum length, and friction coefficient values in the inverted pendulum model are unknown, its finite number of experimentally obtained trajectories are utilized as a basis for generating the experimentally unavailable trajectories. It is shown that both the experimentally obtained and the remaining computationally generated trajectories can be formulated as an overlapping sequence of cubic Bezier curves in a computationally efficient manner. In the case of having no model of system dynamics, cubic Bezier curve formulation accurately relates experimentally obtained trajectories to the computationally generated trajectories corresponding to different initial conditions. A case study presented in this manuscript verifies that the computational approach using a cubic Bezier curves formulation has far better approximation performance compared to the ones obtained by the linear interpolation.

Why the Concept of Private Demand for Innovations Should Be Understand: The case of ex-YU countries
Authors: Stojanovska Slagjana , Madzova Violeta , Gjozinska Biljana
Published: August 2020

This paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of private demand for innovation in the context of the ex-YU countries such as Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia from 2011 to 2016. One key variable for the importance of demand for innovation is the buyer sophistication. This signals the ability of buyers to select products and services based on performance rather than price and to bear the cost of products at the beginning of the life cycle. The companies that face a sophisticated domestic market are likely to sell high quality products and a close proximity to such consumers should to enables the company to better understand the needs and desires of the customers and how they perceive the value of the product. For cultural or historical reasons, buyers may be more demanding in some countries than in others. Hence, оur start point is that “higher degrees of buyer sophistication can to explain higher shares of innovative sales” (Hollanders and Es-Sadki, 2017, p. 42) and opposite “lower shares of innovative sales could to explain lower degrees of buyer sophistication” in the above countries. Thus, our analysis relies on two key indicators, the “buyer sophistication” and the “sales of new-to-market and new-to-firm product innovations”, which are including, the first in the Global Competitiveness Report and the second, in the European Innovation Scoreboard. Looking at the results, it can be noted that Serbia has a big gap between the two indicators, so the extent of buyer sophistication is lower from the extent of innovative sales. Аs business leaders make a subjective assessment of the GCR’s indicator Buyer sophistication, it can be assumed that Serbian business leaders assess the sophistication of domestic customers much lower than it is. This example is somewhat similar to the Slovenian business leaders. These two countries achieve the same level of sales of innovative products, while Macedonia and Croatia are in the same group and have lower sales of innovative products. This finding calls for demand-oriented policies which would have to influence the innovation culture in the market, making buyers more risk taking, aware of innovations and empower them to buy and use them.
Raziskovalno-razvojna vlaganja kot osnova za tehnološki razvoj v Sloveniji
Authors: Stanovnik Peter , Uršič Sonja
Published: August 2020

Članek obravnava raziskovalno-razvojno dejavnost (RR) kot enega izmed osnovnih dejavnikov, ki pospešujejo inovativnost, tehnološki razvoj ter posredno gospodarsko rast in konkurenčnost posameznih ekonomij in podjetij. Mednarodne primerjave na makroekonomski ravni v preteklih 17 letih kažejo počasno rast koeficienta med RR izdatki in ustvarjenim BDP. V najbolj razvitih državah se delež RR izdatkov približuje ali celo presega 3 % BDP. Slovenija sodi med države, ki v opazovanem obdobju ne dosegajo povprečja OECD, ki je leta 2016 znašalo 2,3 % BDP. Za Slovenijo smo ugotovili v letih 2013-2017 padajoči trend RR zaradi različnih razlogov (drugačno zajemanje RR, davčne olajšave, konjunkturna gibanja). V izrazito majhnem deležu usmerjenih uporabnih raziskav in eksperimentalnega razvoja lahko iščemo vzroke za tehnološke zaostanke v slovenskem gospodarstvu.

Raziskovalna politika mora v prihodnje v večji meri: spodbujati interaktivno sodelovanje med podjetji, inštituti, univerzami ter državnimi institucijami; spremeniti strukturo javno financiranih raziskav v korist ciljno usmerjenih uporabnih raziskav; povečati internacionalizacijo z vključevanjem v mednarodne verige vrednosti; razvijati trg inovativnih javnih naročil. RR management v podjetjih mora pospešiti inovacijska prizadevanja ne le v visoko tehnoloških segmentih, temveč tudi na področju srednje in nizke tehnologije z večjo vlogo tveganega kapitala, bistvenim povečanjem števila raziskovalcev v podjetjih ter uporabo vavčerskega sistema za raziskovalne in svetovalne storitve, zlasti v malih in srednje velikih podjetjih.
Da evolução das legislações sobre proteção de dados: a necessidade de reavaliação do papel do consentimento como garantidor da autodeterminação informativa
Authors: Lugati Lys Nunes , Almeida Juliana Evangelista de
Published: August 2020

A Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (Lei 13.709/2018) emerge em um contexto de disseminação massiva de dados na internet, com a chamada “datificação das coisas”. Em uma eterna vigilância, o titular de dados vê diversos de seus direitos fundamentais violados. Isso faz com que haja a necessidade de legislações de proteção de dados que consagrem a participação do titular no processamento de dados. A LGPD conferiu importância visível ao requisito do consentimento e trouxe a ideia de que o consentimento do titular seria um passo rumo ao princípio da autodeterminação informativa. Todavia, é possível que o consentimento por si só assegure a autodeterminação informativa? Qual é a definição desse princípio e em que medida a LGPD o assegura? Para essa análise, será feita uma pesquisa jurídico dogmática, baseando-se em legislações de proteção de dados, comparações com legislações de outros países, estudos de doutrinas e materiais produzidos sobre o tema.

ANALISA SISTEM PERSEDIAAN BAHAN BAKU PADA INDUSTRI BINTANG PRIMA ACEH BESAR
Authors: Amni Chairul
Published: August 2020

Perencanaan persediaan bahan baku merupakan salah satu peranan yang sangat penting dalam dunia industri untuk meningkatkan permintaan pasar. Sebuah perencanaan produksi akan berjalan dengan baik jika di dukung dengan adanya persediaan bahan baku yang memadai. Persediaan bahan baku juga memberikan kontribusi biaya yang cukup besar sehingga komponen biaya ini juga perlu untuk dikendalikan. Melihat pentingnya fungsi perencanaan produksi dan pengendalian persediaan bahan baku, maka perlu adanya usaha untuk mengelolanya secara efisien untuk mendapatkan hasil yang optimal. Perencanaan bahan baku merupakan hal yang sangat penting dilakukan untuk mendukung proses produksi, sehingga tidak terjadi masalah seperti keterlambatan pengiriman barang kepada konsumen, dan pemborosan biaya bahan baku. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sistem pengendalian bahan baku yang diterapkan serta untuk mengetahui jumlah ekonomis bahan baku pada setiap kali pemesanan yang di analisis dengan menggunakan metode EOQ (Economic Order Quantity). Dari penelitian ini mendapatkan hasil yang menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan metode EOQ dalam pemesanan bahan baku jauh lebih optimal dan efisien dibanding metode yang selama ini diterapkan, terlihat dari selisih total biaya pemesanan bahan baku pada tepung mencapai 1,21% (404.950 rupiah) selisih pada bahan baku gula 0,02% (4.450 rupiah) dan selisih biaya pada pemesanan ragi dan garam sebesar 14,31% yaitu sebesar Rp. 82.500 untuk Ragi dan Rp. 8.250 untuk selisih pemesanan garam. dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan metode EOQ mempuanyai hasil baik dalam melakukan pemesanan bahan baku sehingga bahan baku untuk produksi tidak mengalami penumpukan dan tidak mengalami kekosongan dalam gudang.
