Fenomena narsis beragama di media sosial: Sebuah analisis-reflektif Matius 6:1
Authors: Silalahi Haposan , Sibarani Yosua , Marbun Kevin Boris
Published: August 2023

Sometimes social media is used to insult and attack people who do not share the same faith or religion and spiritual understanding through religious narcissism. This article explains the meaning of Jesus' warning in Matthew 6:1 regarding religious activities as God's people's efforts to reject the phenomenon of religious narcissism on social media. Through the exegetical study method, the principle contained in Matthew 6:1 is not showing off and seeking human praise in carrying out religious or pious activities. Social media is an opportunity to show the existence of a believer's faith to bring others to repentance, not a place to show off piety.  AbstrakTerkadang media sosial digunakan untuk menghina dan menyerang orang yang tidak memiliki keyakinan atau agama serta pemahaman spiritual yang sama melalui perilaku narsisme beragama. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan makna teguran Yesus dalam Matius 6:1 tentang kegiatan agama sebagai upaya umat Tuhan menolak fenomena narsisme beragama di media sosial. Melalui metode studi hermeneutik, prinsip yang terkandung dalam Matius 6:1 adalah tidak pamer dan mencari pujian manusia dalam melakukan kegiatan agama atau kesalehan. Pada dasarnya, media sosial merupakan peluang untuk menunjukkan eksistensi iman orang percaya untuk membawa orang lain kepada pertobatan, bukan ajang pamer kesalehan.

Tıp Fakültesi ve Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Öğrencilerinin Gözünden Kadavra Etiği, Uygulamaları ve Beden Bağışı
Authors: ORTADEVECİ Abdullah , ÖZTÜRK Hülya
Published: August 2023

Amaç: Tıp eğitiminin temel branşlarından birisi olan anatomi eğitiminde ve cerrahi yeteneklerin geliştirilmesinde kadavra vazgeçilmez bir öğretim aracıdır. Fakat beden bağışı sayısındaki yetersizlikten kaynaklı kadavra kıtlığı kadavraya ulaşımı güç hale getirmektedir. Beden bağışı sayısındaki yetersizliğin en büyük sebebi toplumun bilgilendirilmesindeki eksikliklerdir. Biz de bu çalışmamızda tıp fakültesi ve diş hekimliği fakültesi öğrencilerinin kadavra etiği ve uygulamalarının yanı sıra beden bağışı konusundaki farkındalıklarını belirlemeyi amaçladık.

Yöntem: Literatürde bulunan çalışmalardan uyarlanmış anket tamamı Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi ve Diş Hekimliği Fakültesindeki öğrencilere Google formlar aracılığıyla ulaştırıldı. Anket demografik sorular, sekiz çoktan seçmeli soru, 24 tane 5’li Likert tipi önerme (1-hiç katılmıyorum, 5-tamamen katılıyorum) ve iki açık uçlu sorudan oluşuyordu. Anketi 277 öğrenci tamamladı. Sonuçlar frekans analiziyle incelendi. Ayrıca demografik verilerle önermeler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek için ki-kare testi uygulandı.

Bulgular: Ankete katılan öğrencilerin %9,4’ü organ bağışı yapmış olmasına rağmen hiç birisi beden bağışı yapmamıştı. Katılımcıların %69,7’sinin beden bağışı konusunda çekinceleri vardı. Öğrencilerin %36,8’inin çekincesi kadavraların kullanımıyla ilgiliydi. Katılımcıların organ bağışı yapmak konusunda istekli olduklarına dair ifadeye verdikleri yanıtın ortalaması 3,68±1,15 iken, beden bağışında bu rakam 2,47±1,07 olarak hesaplandı. Akademik eğitimim sırasında beden bağışıyla ilgili bilgi almak isterim ifadesinin ortalaması 3,82±0,98 iken, kadavra etiğiyle ilgili bilgi almak isterim ifadesine verilen cevapların ortalaması 3,97±0,86 olarak tespit edildi.

Sonuç: Tıp fakültesi ve diş hekimliği fakültesi öğrencilerinin beden bağışı yapmak konusunda ciddi çekinceleri olmasına rağmen beden bağışı ve kadavra etiği üzerine bilgilendirilmek konusunda oldukça önemli bir oranda isteklilerdi. Ayrıca beden bağışı konusundaki çekincelerin kadavraların kullanımıyla ilgili olması kadavra etiği konusunda bazı eksiklikler olduğunu ortaya koyabilir.
Retweets as Trust: The Sharing of Pandemic-Related Information from U.S. Government Accounts
Authors: Stone Jeffrey
Published: August 2023

The rapid onset of the COVID-19 pandemic created a desire for information about the virus and government-directed response efforts. Twitter is a popular mechanism for disseminating crisis information, but questions exist about what government sources citizens trust enough to share their posts (“retweet”) as well as the types of language which encourage sharing. This study examines trust in U.S. government officials and organizations during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The sharing of U.S.- and COVID-specific tweets from government accounts acts as a proxy for trust, representing implicit confidence in these units to provide credible information. This study investigated whether significant differences in the retweet frequency of government sources existed based on the source (public officials, public agencies, federal-level, or state-level, Republican-led states, or Democrat-led states) and differentiated by time period (pre- or post-declaration). Retweets were also examined to determine whether linguistic factors predicted the retweet frequency. The post-declaration period was found to have significant impact, with more active federal and state accounts. Significant group differences suggest greater trust in state-level sources versus federal sources (especially Democrat-led states), as well as public officials versus public agencies. Emotion-related language was also shown to predict the frequency of retweeting, though impacts differed based on the source.

Authors: Vidal-Mayo José de Jesús , Guzmán Ramírez Uriel , Hernández-Gilsoul Thierry , Kammar-García Ashuin , Pérez Méndez Ayari , Mancilla-Galindo Javier
Published: August 2023

Antecedentes. El estado epiléptico (EE) es una emergencia médica caracterizada por actividad epiléptica continua o recurrente con una alta mortalidad. La escala STESS (Status Epilepticus Severity Score) permite evaluar el pronóstico de pacientes con EE.
Objetivo. Describir las características clínicas de los pacientes con EE en nuestro centro, determinar las variables asociadas a mortalidad y determinar la capacidad predictora de la escala STESS para mortalidad intrahospitalaria. 
Material y métodos. Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes con diagnóstico de EE durante el periodo de 2000-2020. Se aplicó la escala pronóstica STESS a todos los pacientes. Se obtuvieron datos de las características clínicas y mortalidad intrahospitalaria. Se aplicó un análisis de regresión de Cox para determinar el riesgo de mortalidad por cada punto de la escala STESS, y se calculó el área bajo la curva ROC para determinar la capacidad de discriminación de la escala.
Resultados. Fueron incluidos 60 pacientes. La presentación clínica predominante fue el EE convulsivo generalizado en 51.7%, las etiologías más frecuentes fueron sintomáticas agudas (46.7%). La mortalidad hospitalaria fue 40%. El riesgo de mortalidad se incrementa un 38% por cada punto de STESS (B=0.38, HR=1.48, IC95%:1.13-1.94, p=0.005). El área bajo la curva ROC de la escala STESS fue 0.72 con un punto de corte óptimo ≥3 puntos para discriminación de mortalidad hospitalaria.
Conclusiones. La escala STESS se asocia significativamente con la mortalidad intrahospitalaria y puede ser usada como predictor de los desenlaces adversos en pacientes con EE.

Published: August 2023

Although the predicted number of sold units per month is one of the most necessary information to study the feasibility of detached-housing estate projects, traditional forecasting methods are limited. The research objective was to apply the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique to develop a sales rate forecasting model by compiling factors from an appropriate literature review. Then, 100 housing project data were collected from market research reports and the projects' websites and analyzed using the ANN technique. The results showed the ANN network with 16 input nodes from 10 factors: Selling price, Number of bathrooms, Number of bedrooms, Distance from the main road, Distance from the bus stop, Distance from the expressway, Distance from the metro station, Distance from the gas station, Distance from the shopping mall, and Project location zone. The acquired model had a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of ±6.296, and the slope and R2 values of the linear regression analysis between the forecasted rate and the actual rate were 0.620 and 0.571, respectively. The findings guide real estate developers and academia on the factors affecting the sales rate and provide a decision support model for investment and design of projects and confirm the potential of ANN in solving the problem with limited numbers of data.

Authors: Souter Nicholas Edward , Lannelongue Loïc , Samuel Gabby , Racey Chris , Colling Lincoln J , Bhagwat Nikhil , Selvan Raghavendra , Rae Charlotte
Published: August 2023

Given that scientific practices contribute to the climate crisis, scientists should reflect on the planetary impact of their work. Research computing can have a substantial carbon footprint in cases where researchers employ computationally expensive processes with large amounts of data. Analysis of human neuroimaging data, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging brain scans, is one such case. Here, we consider ten ways in which those who conduct human neuroimaging research can reduce the carbon footprint of their research computing, by making adjustments to the ways in which studies are planned, executed, and analysed; as well as where and how data is stored.
The Usage of Mindsponge Theory for Explaining the Impacts of Lockdown Policy toward Information Media and News in Italy at the Early Stage of COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: SARI NI PUTU WULAN PURNAMA
Published: August 2023

At the beginning of 2020, the spread of SARS-Cov-2 rapidly became a worldwide priority. Italian government particularly implemented a lockdown policy for over two months, from March 9 to May 18, 2020 [1]. During the COVID-19 pandemic and the imposed lockdown, information technology and digital media acquired prominent importance in people's lives, not only as a source of information on the pandemic but also as a tool to work, learn, teach, connect with others, and engage in many other activities remotely, while living at home in a digitally connected world [2,3]. This unique lockdown experience has led Romano et al. [1] to conduct an online qualitative study towards 18 Italian residents concerning age, gender, education, and geographical residents. Regarding information media and news, the content analysis results showed that most participants used TV, the internet, social media, and online newspaper to get COVID-19-related information. Generally, the majority felt exasperation with the media because the news was considered to be sensationalistic, less objective, amplified problems, confusing, and provided with contradictory information leading to anxious feelings and a general lack of trust in the media and contained information. Fortunately, participants were aware of the importance of having a critical attitude toward the media. They evaluated the reliability of the media and news by consulting the right person and comparing more sources, such as press releases, newspapers, radio, official government websites and resources, medical doctors, virologists, experts, journalists, and local-international news [1].
Cardiovascular risk and disease among people with mental illness in Canada
Authors: Goldie Catherine Lindsay
Published: August 2023

Objective: People with mental illness have poorer physical health and to suffer from higher rates of morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) than the general population. However, this has not been confirmed in a large, unselected community-based Canadian sample. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the association between mental illness and a history of heart disease and stroke, and 10-year and 30-year cardiovascular risk. Methods: Cross-sectional data of 36,984 respondents collected via the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.2 were analyzed. Mood and anxiety disorders were assessed with the World Mental Health – Composite International Diagnostic Interview instrument. Respondents’ self-reported diagnostic histories of schizophrenia, cardiovascular disease (CVD) (including heart disease and stroke), and cardiovascular risk (including diabetes, hypertension, treatment for hypertension, tobacco use and body mass index) were also ascertained. Framingham 10-year and 30-year risk prediction algorithms were used to calculate cardiovascular risk. A stratified multistage cluster sampling design was used. Descriptive statistics were used to estimate the prevalence of CVD across a range of mental illness and accounted for psychiatric comorbidity. Bivariate associations between mental illness and cardiovascular risk, heart disease and stroke were analyzed with logistic regression models. Results: Respondents who reported having any lifetime mental illness were twice as likely to have a history of heart disease (OR=2.0 [95% CI: 1.8, 2.2]) or stroke (OR = 2.3 [95% CI: 1.7, 3.0]), after controlling for sociodemographic differences, compared to people without a mental illness. Respondents with any mood or any anxiety disorder were one and a half times (OR = 1.5 [95% CI: 1.3, 1.8], OR = 1.5 [95% CI: 1.2, 1.8], respectively) more likely to have heart disease and almost two times (OR = 1.8 [95% CI: 1.1, 2.7], OR = 1.8 [95% CI: 1.1, 2.8], respectively) more likely to have had a stroke compared with people without mood or anxiety disorders, after adjusting for sociodemographic differences. When pairings were examined between psychiatric disorders, the association with heart disease and stroke was stronger compared with having the specific disorder alone. Respondents who were identified as having any lifetime mental disorder were less likely (OR = 0.8 [95% CI: 0.8, 0.9]) to be at high risk of developing CVD within 10 years. This same group was slightly more likely (OR = 1.2 [95% CI: 1.1, 1.4]) to be at high risk of developing CVD within 30 years. Conclusion: This descriptive study underscores the association between mental illness, CVD and cardiovascular risk and highlights some novel methods to examine cardiovascular health at a population level. The findings also serve as a call to action for all Canadian health professionals to work to improve the cardiovascular health of this population.
Decolonial thinking and dialogue: rehumanizing educational practices in the social sciences
Authors: Hosseini Donnesh Dustin
Published: August 2023

Decolonial thinking coupled with imagination can help inspire educators that might help rehumanize students and educators alike. It can help to counter neoliberalism which enacts a globalization that ‘economizes’ all human and non-human activities (Brown, 2015; Mbembe, 2016, Raworth, 2017) through the lens of homo oeconomicus which simultaneously maintains zones of being/nonbeing (Fanon, 1967) or rationality/irrationality. Decolonial thinking can also offer a different critique of neoliberal logic with respect to education while providing a framework for imagining different futures for education. One preferable alternative future can draw upon decolonial thinking to achieve recognition beyond the mere value of what is produced while rehumanizing students and educators alike by taking a holistic view pluralistic in nature that teaches the whole human through dialogue rather than solely focusing on individual intellectual objectivity, as it is framed within contemporary Western epistemology.

South Asia is a region with a high level of conflict. Disputes in the region are still a focus for the international community to resolve. Afghanistan is a country that stands in the South Asia region. The country's urgency has been apparent since the fall of the Ashraf Ghani government to the Taliban. Additionally, the withdrawal of foreign troops, including the United States, Britain, and their allies, has worsened the situation in the country. In this case, the Tunxi meeting tried to communicate with the parties interested in the matter. The Tunxi initiative was undertaken as a bridge to break the communication deadlock of the disputing parties. China led this meeting so that Afghanistan could rise again through economic reconstruction and practical cooperation in Afghanistan. Economic diplomacy is an analytical tool to see China's efforts in developing Afghanistan. The method used is qualitative to provide a clear explanation and more developed research exploration. As a result, China always uses the approach of being a mediating actor in every conflict so that the country can be accepted in almost all world countries. This provides excellent opportunities and benefits for China in securing its economy.

Gross primary productivity (GPP) is the largest carbon flux in the Earth system, playing a crucial role in removing atmospheric carbon dioxide and providing the sugars and starches needed for ecosystem metabolism. Despite the importance of GPP, however, existing estimates present significant uncertainties and discrepancies. A key issue is the underrepresentation of the CO2 fertilization effect, a major factor contributing to the increased terrestrial carbon sink over recent decades. This omission could potentially bias our understanding of ecosystem responses to climate change.Here, we introduce CEDAR-GPP, the first global upscaled GPP product that incorporates the direct CO2 fertilization effect on photosynthesis. Our product is comprised of monthly GPP estimates and their uncertainty at 0.05º resolution from 1982 to 2020, generated using a comprehensive set of eddy covariance measurements, multi-source satellite observations, climate variables, and machine learning models. Importantly, we used both theoretical and data-driven approaches to incorporate the direct CO2 effects. Our machine learning models effectively predicted monthly GPP (R2 ~ 0.74), the mean seasonal cycles (R2 ~ 0.79), and spatial variabilities (R2 ~ 0.67). Incorporation of the direct CO2 effects substantially improved the models’ ability to estimate long-term GPP trends across global flux sites. While the global patterns of annual mean GPP, seasonality, and interannual variability generally aligned with existing satellite-based products, CEDAR-GPP demonstrated higher long-term trends globally after incorporating CO2 fertilization, particularly in the tropics, reflecting a strong temperature control on direct CO2 effects. CEDAR-GPP offers a comprehensive representation of GPP temporal and spatial dynamics, providing valuable insights into ecosystem-climate interactions.

Published: August 2023

Striking weight biases emerge early in development, yet cognitive-developmental research has largely ignored weight as a social characteristic of interest. How do children conceive of weight? In particular, do children hold essentialist views of weight (i.e. do they view weight as natural, stable, inductively meaningful, and reflective of people’s insides) as they do of so many other social characteristics? We conducted an exploratory investigation of children’s weight essentialism across two studies. In total, 356 participants (280 4- to 11-year-old children and 76 adults from the United States, mostly White and from middle- to high-income families) participated in three tasks, respectively assessing three dimensions of essentialism of social categories: Beliefs about weight stability, heritability, and inductive potential despite transformation. Results revealed that children viewed weight as stable (similarly so to race) and informative of someone’s food choices, but they did not view it as biologically- or genetically-determined. Thus, children may not view weight as reflecting people’s biological nature (biological essentialism), but they may view weight as reflecting people’s stable personal character (moral essentialism) – a view which is also highly compatible with weight bias, unlike biological essentialism. Children also demonstrated stronger essentialist views of lightness than heaviness across tasks, though essentialism of heaviness increased over development. Findings are discussed as they relate to early conceptions of weight and weight bias. Implications for conceptualizations and measurement of essentialism are also discussed.

Published: August 2023

The circular drift-diffusion model (CDDM) is a sequential sampling model designed to account for decisions and response times in decision-making tasks with a circular set of choice alternatives. We present and demonstrate a fully Bayesian implementation and extension of the CDDM. This development allows researchers to apply the CDDM to data from complex experiments and draw conclusions about targeted hypotheses. The Bayesian implementation relies on a custom JAGS module. We describe the module and demonstrate its adequacy through a simulation study. We then illustrate the advantages of the implementation by revisiting data from a continuous orientation judgment task. We develop a graphical model for the analysis that is based on the CDDM, but extends it with hierarchical and latent-mixture structures.We then demonstrate how these extensions are used to accommodate the design of the experiment and to implement psychological assumptions about individual differences, the difficulty of different stimulus conditions, and the impact of cues on decision making. Finally, we demonstrate how the computational Bayesian inference enabled by JAGS allows these assumptions to be tested and addresses psychological research questions about people's decision making.

Miscommunication in pilots’ and air traffic controllers’ radio exchange has always been a deep concern in aviation. Standard phraseology provides pilots and air traffic controllers with special phrases to minimize the risk of miscommunication in a multilingual environment. It is designed to facilitate unambiguous and concise radio exchange. In non-standard situations, which are not covered by standard phraseology, the ability to use plain language is a must. The language training aims to ensure that language activity does not distract pilots’ and air traffic controllers’ attention and saves time to make the right decisions. The authors believe that improvement of professionally significant personality traits such as motivation, emotional stability, the accuracy of reaction, thinking elasticity, logical reasoning as well as the ability to process information quickly, select reasonable hypotheses, picture flight environment, predict the development of the situation, and anticipate the result of the activity can be a highly efficient way to reach this goal. The authors also consider soft power skills as an indispensable part of pilots’ skill sets and distinguish the most significant of them. The problem is that the points mentioned above are not included in the pilots’ and air traffic controllers’ language training. Therefore, the research aims to identify a set of professionally significant personality traits and develop ways of their improvement. The most efficient digital resources are distinguished. The research outcomes will significantly contribute to flight safety.

ChatGPT’s Capabilities in Spotting and Analyzing Writing Errors Experienced by EFL Learners
Authors: Algaraady Jeehaan , Mahyoob Mohammad
Published: August 2023

The recent Large Language Models (LLMs) use advanced algorithms to identify areas where sentence structure and word choice can be improved and to detect grammar, syntax, and spelling mistakes in sentences. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) in detecting English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ writing errors compared to human instructors. This study examines the ChatGPT as a recent and advanced LLM in analyzing and processing EFL learners’ writing issues. This paper provides valuable insights into the potential benefits and challenges of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into EFL writing education. Our results revealed that ChatGPT successfully identified most surface-level errors but could not detect writing errors related to deep structure and pragmatics. Conversely, human teachers could spot most of these issues. These findings suggest that while ChatGPT can be a valuable tool in identifying surface-level errors, it cannot replace human instructors’ expertise and nuanced understanding in detecting errors related to the more complex aspects of writing. The writing error types (data) are statistically analyzed. The descriptive analysis displays valuable insights into the reliability of the data and its potential implications, where the F-score, which measures the statistical model accuracy, is found to be 1.5. In the meantime, the p-value score, which shows the probability of obtaining results as extreme as the detected data, is calculated to be 0.23. The results suggest that the collected data is statistically significant, and further analysis may yield valuable insights.
