Legal Nihilism as a Methodology of the U.S. Strategic Foreign Policy
Authors:   Krasnodar Air Force Institute for Pilots, Streletsky Yakov Ilyich , Sidorenko Natalia Sergeevna ,   Krasnodar Air Force Institute for Pilots
Published: August 2019

The study identifies and analyzes five pillars of legal nihilism in the U.S. strategic policy: philosophy, philosophy of law, economy, international relations, military strategy. Each pillar is specified. The first pillar is the philosophy of pragmatism and its quin-tessential concept of truth. The second one is repre-sented by the ‘new’ (alternative) philosophy of law based on the methodology of double standards. The third pillar reflects the U.S. strat-egy towards Russia, European countries, Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, and China. The fourth one shows the role of the USA in building a new world order after 1991, as exemplified by Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and Venezuela. The fifth pillar draws attention to the analysis of the United States’ breach of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, and the Paris Convention of 1993. It focuses on NATO’s strategy towards Russia as well. In the authors’ opinion, international law de facto ceased to exist after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This was facilitated by the fact that the USA adopted the idea of its exclusivity and superiority over the rest of the world. It is a guideline for the U.S. government in the international arena today. In the current situation, Russia manages to act on the basis of international law by pursuing a peaceful and good neighbor policy.
Decline and Prospects for the Restoration of Galician Nationalism
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Dronova Svetlana Yurievna
Published: August 2019

The paper observes the history and present situa-tion of Galician nationalism. The study analyzes the development of the nationalist political movement in the region and shows the results of the 2015–2019 local elections for nationalist parties. Their presence in the local parliaments of Galicia, Catalo-nia, and the Basque Country is compared. Four reasons for the decline of Galician na-tionalism are formulated and explained: economic, migration, historical, and national ones. The author considers the 2018 non-partisan nationalist associa-tions such as the Galician Way and the National Ga-lician Assembly, their goals and projects to unite Galician nationalists. These organiza-tions’ activities are positively assessed as they can contribute to the development of culture, lan-guage, and national identity of the region’s resi-dents, which will fail to lead to outbreaks of separa-tism but will vent existing and future nationalist sentiments in case of low economic develop-ment.
Influence Marketing in Modern Political Campaigns
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technology and Design, Kislitsina Anastasia Alekseevna
Published: August 2019

The study presents a general overview of the current trends in political campaigns. A brief analysis of the evolution of media influence on the electorate is carried out. Special attention is paid to the new technology that has formed in related fields and already proven to be effective in practice. It is con-cluded that modern different-level political campaigns are conducted by influencers, i.e. people with large loyal audiences who trust them and can be affected by them. In contrast to direct political advertising limited by law and often failing to arouse any interest among the majority of the electorate, the influencers can reach a large au-dience and become an effective promotion tool in today’s information society by posting, tweeting, making a video, going on the air, and broadcasting their attitude to one or another politi-cal event to thousands or millions of subscribers in various social networks.
Principios distributivos y pensiones no contributivas en Argentina, Bolivia y México
Authors: Sandoval Álvarez Benjamín
Published: August 2019

En los últimos años distintos países de América Latina implementaron estrategias para expandir la cobertura de las pensiones a la población adulta mayor anteriormente excluida de la seguridad social tradicional. Si bien de manera general se basan en la adopción de mecanismos no estrictamente contributivos, estas estrategias varían en los principios distributivos que les subyacen, por lo que adquieren características particulares y un impacto distributivo diferenciado. En concreto, este trabajo analiza tres estrategias: Argentina ilustra un modelo guiado en cierta medida por el principio contributivo; Bolivia se inclina a un modelo basado en el principio de ciudadanía, y México ilustra un modelo guiado por el principio de necesidad. La relevancia de este artículo consiste en discutir las bases que caracacterizan a distintos esquemas previsionales en América Latina.
De la politización a los regímenes de ciudadanía. Ajustes analíticos para estudiar las disputas por los derechos sexuales
Authors: Argüello Pazmiño Sofía
Published: August 2019

Este artículo esboza un modelo analítico para estudiar los regímenes de ciudadanía en general y las disputas por los derechos sexuales en particular, desde una perspectiva comparada y procesual. Como nota de investigación, muestra los ajustes teóricos que ha tenido un programa de investigación sobre identidades, colectivos y derechos LGBT. Tales ajustes pasan por revisar el carácter estático de las categorías de movimiento social y ciudadanía y por identificar potencialidades y límites de un marco analítico que gira en torno a los procesos de politización. El objetivo del artículo es abrir camino a un enfoque sobre los regímenes de ciudadanía que pueda explicar a) el momento político y contencioso de la disputa por los derechos, b) los modos de regulación estatal, jurídica e institucional, y c) la experiencia y el ejercicio de los derechos en la vida cotidiana.
Fragmenting the Family? The Complexity of Household Migration Strategies in Post-apartheid South Africa
Authors: Hall Katharine , Posel Dorrit
Published: August 2019

The disruption of family life is one of the important legacies of South Africa’s colonial and apartheid history. Families were undermined by deliberate strategies implemented through the pass laws, forced removals, urban housing policy, and the creation of homelands. Despite the removal of legal restrictions on permanent urban settlement and family co-residence for Africans, patterns of internal and oscillating labor migration have endured, dual or stretched households continue to link urban and rural nodes, children have remained less urbanized than adults, and many grow up without coresident parents. Although children are clearly affected by adult labor migration, they have tended to be ignored in the migration discourse. In this study, we add to the literature by showing how a child lens advances our understanding of the complexities of household arrangements and migration processes for families. In a mixed-methods study, we use nationally representative panel data to describe persistence, and also change, in migration patterns in South Africa when viewed from the perspective of children. We then draw on a detailed case study to explore what factors constrain or permit families to migrate together, or children to join adults at migration destination areas.
Exploiting the Irish Border to Estimate Minimum Wage Impacts in Northern Ireland
Authors: McVicar Duncan , Park Andrew , McGuinness Seamus
Published: August 2019

This paper examines the impacts of the introduction of the UK National Minimum Wage (NMW) in 1999 and the introduction of the UK National Living Wage (NLW) in 2016 in Northern Ireland (NI) on employment and hours. NI is the only part of the UK with a land border where the NMW and NLW cover those working on one side of the border but not those working on the other side of the border (i.e., Republic of Ireland). This discontinuity in minimum wage coverage enables a research design that estimates the impacts of the NMW and NLW on employment and hours worked using difference-in-differences estimation. We find a small decrease in the employment rate of 22–59/64-year-olds in NI, of up to 2% points, in the year following the introduction of the NMW, but no impact on hours worked. We find no clear evidence that the introduction of the NLW impacted either employment or hours worked in NI.
Patterns of Overeducation in Europe: The Role of Field of Study
Authors: Rossen Anja , Boll Christina , Wolf André
Published: August 2019

This study investigates the incidence of overeducation among graduate workers in 21 European Union countries and its underlying factors based on the European Labor Force Survey 2016. Although controlling for a wide range of covariates, the particular interest lies in the role of fields of study for vertical educational mismatch. The study reveals country differences in the impact of these factors. Compared to Social sciences, male graduates from, for example, Education, Health and welfare, Engineering, and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) are less and those from Services and Natural sciences are more at risk in a clear majority of countries. These findings are robust against changes of the standard education. Moreover, some fields show gender-specific risks. We suggest that occupational closure, productivity signals and gender stereotypes answer for these cross-field and cross-country differentials. Moreover, country fixed effects point to relevant structural differences between national labor markets and between educational systems.
Detecting Driver’s Fatigue, Distraction and Activity Using a Non-Intrusive Ai-Based Monitoring System
Authors: Costa Miguel , Oliveira Daniel , Pinto Sandro , Tavares Adriano
Published: August 2019

The lack of attention during the driving task is considered as a major risk factor for fatal road accidents around the world. Despite the ever-growing trend for autonomous driving which promises to bring greater road-safety benefits, the fact is today’s vehicles still only feature partial and conditional automation, demanding frequent driver action. Moreover, the monotony of such a scenario may induce fatigue or distraction, reducing driver awareness and impairing the regain of the vehicle’s control. To address this challenge, we introduce a non-intrusive system to monitor the driver in terms of fatigue, distraction, and activity. The proposed system explores state-of-the-art sensors, as well as machine learning algorithms for data extraction and modeling. In the domain of fatigue supervision, we propose a feature set that considers the vehicle’s automation level. In terms of distraction assessment, the contributions concern (i) a holistic system that covers the full range of driver distraction types and (ii) a monitoring unit that predicts the driver activity causing the faulty behavior. By comparing the performance of Support Vector Machines against Decision Trees, conducted experiments indicated that our system can predict the driver’s state with an accuracy ranging from 89% to 93%.
La Selva y la Lluvia

Los libros de Editorial Progreso abarcan todos los temas. Política, ensayo, narrativa, historia, ciencias, etc. En español se editaron más de dos mil títulos entre 1931 y 1986. El único escritor colombiano que figura en ellos es Arnoldo Palacios, con su novela La Selva y la Lluvia (1958) de la cual se ocupa este ensayo, resaltando la importancia de esta obra silenciada durante tantos años.
La carta robada de Lezama Lima: utopía, literatura y política intelectual
Authors: Labriola Rodrigo
Published: August 2019

El propósito principal de este trabajo es dar a conocer (de la manera más polémica que sea posible) algunos de los escritos de José Lezama Lima que fueron publicados póstumamente en la Revista de la Biblioteca Nacional José Martí de Cuba, en el número 2, correspondiente a mayo-agosto de 1988, cuya edición estuvo dedicada especialmente a ese autor. Por la naturaleza de esta publicación, y por las dificultades para su difusión más allá de las fronteras de Cuba (e incluso adentro, lo que quedará establecido en una nota al pie posterior), nos parece interesante difundir este material para propiciar el debate en torno a la noción de utopía vinculada problemáticamente a las ideas del neobarroco, para que así se puedan, también, revisar algunos de los lugares comunes que persisten en el continente americano sobre las relaciones entre política y cultura.
Mitos y leyendas de la Amazonía brasileña y peruana, dos países con raíces en la literatura indígena
Authors: Mota Da Cruz Bithian , Simões Maria Do Socorro
Published: August 2019

La diversidad cultural de la región amazónica trasciende fronteras, la selva posee influencia en la vida de sus habitantes, estos reflejos son percibidos en su literatura, por medio de las narrativas orales. Los mitos y leyendas de la Amazonía brasileña y peruana tienen gran semejanza; en ellos el imaginario místico es muy fuerte en las ciudades locales. Otra similitud, la mayor o más fuerte, está en las raíces, pues los mitos orales son tradiciones heredadas de la literatura indígena. En Brasil los mitos sufren influencia principalmente de lenguas del grupo Tupi y en Perú de la lengua Quechua. En función de esto, el objetivo de la investigación es traer en discusión la semejanza literaria y cultural que rompe las fronteras de los dos países que, aunque tiene lenguas distintas, se entrecruzan en la literatura. La investigación se basó en dos ciudades: en Brasil, la ciudad de Abaetetuba, en Pará; y en Perú, la ciudad de Iquitos, región de Loreto. Ambas fueran el escenario escogido para trabajar los mitos.
O romance marginal e la novela del sicariato: as representações da violência no Brasil e na Colômbia
Authors: da Cunha Freitas Tatiele
Published: August 2019

À luz da proposta de Antonio Candido, em “A dialética da malandragem”, e de João Cezar de Castro Rocha, em “A dialética da marginalidade”, este estudo tem a intenção de apresentar a figura do malandro brasileiro paralelamente ao marginal da sociedade pós-moderna, através da obra Cidade de Deus (2002), do escritor Paulo Lins. Em seguida, pretende-se fazer uma comparação deste marginal com o sicário colombiano representado na obra La virgen de los sicários (2008), de Fernando Vallejo. Pretende-se, portanto, refletir sobre as representações da violência mediante as trajetórias dos protagonistas de ambas as obras, problematizando a estrutura desses textos – no caso, o fait divers de Barthes em Cidade de Deus e o kitsch em La Virgen de los sicarios (2008) – de maneira a buscar uma resposta para esta violência retratada, além de refletir sobre a recepção destas obras pelo leitor contemporâneo.

Schiff's bases are versatile pharmacophores in which the N atom involves in hydrogen bonding with active cell centers interfering in normal cell biology. A library of novel coumate analogues with Schiff bases were designed, and structural based drug design was performed with human estrogen receptor (PDB ID: 2IOG) (Already reported). Based on the in-silico outcomes, seven coumate-schiff bases were synthesized. The compounds were obtained in good yield. The novelty had been ascertained by sci finder software. The synthesized molecules were consistent with their assigned spectra such as IR, Mass and NMR spectral data which confirmed their formation. The cytotoxicity study was performed by MTT assay for all the synthesized compounds. Most of the compounds have good IC50 values (below 100 µg/ml).Two of the synthesized compounds COU-2 and COU-5 have shown good IC50 values such as 19µg/ml and 39µg/ml, respectively. They suppressed the proliferation of estrogen receptor overexpressed MCF-7 cells.

The Flight Deck or cockpit is designed to support the prosecution of aircraft mission.  For aircraft with commercial purpose such as passenger transport aircraft, there must be good “fit” between the human, the machine which composed of various aircraft system and the aircraft mission; and these are what the Flight Deck design process needs to ensure but not limited to display design, aircraft control, automation, HCI on the Flight Deck and pilot’s view to outside through cockpit windows namely external vision. The external vision of cockpit windows must satisfy regulatory requirements which intended to ensure that the view is adequate for pilots to operate the aircraft safely and gives them a reasonable opportunity to see and avoid other aircraft that pose a collision threat.Concurrently during critical periods of flight, it is important that the flight crew access information in front of his view with minimal head rotation.  Cockpit-Displays with critical flight information should then be located to these locations.  Compromising both external vision and internal vision as Pilot’s visibility should be attained.
Pengaruh Kinerja Motor Induksi Pada Tegangan Tidak Seimbang Dengan Metode Transformasi Direct Qudrature
Authors: Setiawan Paulus
Published: August 2019

Induction motors are one type of electric motors that work based on electromagnetic induction. The problem that often arises lately is the occurrence of voltage imbalances. Unbalanced voltage is a voltage value that is not the same in a three-phase voltage system contained in the electrical power system. On the basis of these problems, it is necessary to conduct research that can analyze the dynamics of the performance of an induction motor. Dynamic analysis is done by modeling a three-phase induction motor using an arbitrary reference frame with the direct qudrature transformation method in Matlab/Simulink. In studies with voltage imbalances up to 5%, electromagnetic torque has decreased by 2.89% to 13.83% and stator current in one phase has increased by 29.1% to 245.8%.

Published: August 2019

One of the factors that affect student achievement is a learning model. Conventional learning models provide a low success rate compared with the cooperative model. Conventional learning model gives a major role to the faculty and students tend to be passive. While the cooperative learning model provides the opportunity for students to learn actively and teachers act as facilitators. One model is a model of cooperative learning jigsaw. Jigsaw model study is a model of learning in groups in which each individual is required to play an active role in contributing to the group. The sample was accounting students who take the course of financial accounting. Results of testing using t test showed that there are significant differences between conventional teaching with the type of jigsaw. The average student results showed that the average achievement of student learning is better than the conventional type of cooperative learning jigsaw.Keywords : Achievement, conventional learning, Jigsaw

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM): Bergunakah bagi Penelitian Akuntansi?
Authors: Evi Marlin Maria Assumpta
Published: August 2019

Perkembangan penelitian dalam bidang akuntansi memberikan ruang yang semakin luas bagi para peneliti dalam melakukan penelitian. Penelitian dapat dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif ataupun kuantitatif. Penelitian kuantitatif merupakan penelitian yang sistematis dan bebas nilai. Structural equation modeling (SEM) merupakan salah satu model statistik yang menjelaskan hubungan antar banyak variabel (Hair et al., 2010: 609). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemungkinan penggunaan SEM dalam penelitian dibidang akuntansi. Beberapa peneliti (Nachtigall et al., 2003; Shah dan Goldstein, 2005; Golob, 2001; Azim, 2012) menyatakan bahwa SEM merupakan teknik untuk menspesifikasi, mengestimasi, dan megevaluasi model regresi silmutaneous equation modeling yang dikembangkan dalam ekonometrika dan measurement model yang dikembangkan dalam variabel yang tidak dapat diobservasi secara langsung. SEM sering juga disebut dengan model LISREL (linear structural relations) dimana structural relation mengacu pada konsep utama dari SEM yaitu memfasilitasi hubungan antar variabel laten (Nachtigall et al., 2003; Lybaert, 1998; Golob, 2001). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa bahwa SEM dapat digunakan untuk menganalsis hubungan variabel-variabel yang tidak dapat diamati, walaupun dalam bidang akuntansi tidak semua variabelnya merupakan variabel yang dapat diamati secara langsung. Sebagai contoh, dalam bidang auditing, akuntansi manajemen, akuntansi perilaku, dan pendidikan akuntansi terdapat banyak variabel yang tidak dapat diamati, seperti dalam penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Azim (2010), Sánchez et al., (2010), Massaro et al. (2015), dan Öhman et al., 2011. Oleh karena itu dapat dikatakan bahwa SEM merupakan alat yang berguna dalam penelitian akuntansi.

Authors: Lyskova I. V. , Lyskova T. V. , Popov F. A.
Published: August 2019

The influence of after-effect of mineral fertilizers and lime on productivity of meadow clover 'Dymkovsky' with regard to the content of mobile phosphorus in the soil have been studied in a long stationary trial (established in 1971) on sod-podzolic soil developed on clay loam mantle in the Kirov region. The study was conducted in 2008-2018 on soil backgrounds with various acidity and mobile phosphorus sufficiency: without lime application (рН 3.68, Al 11-17 mg/100g of soil, P2O5 142-291 mg/kg of soil) and with lime application (рН 5.5, Al was not revealed, P2O5 120-232 mg/kg). In variants without application of phosphoric fertilizers the mobile phosphorus sufficiency was 77-84 mg/kg against acid background, and 66-89 mg/kg against limed background. The average yield of clover green mass in 2012 was 17.24 t/ha against acid background and 30.77 t/ha against limed background; the increase due to lime application was 78.4%, in 2018 – 13.0 t/ha, 28.3 t/ha, 118%, respectively. Reliable correlation links have been revealed between the degree of soil acidity (рН and Hh) and productivity of clover green mass, r = 0.76 and r = -0.79, respectively. The effect of the content of mobile phosphorus in the soil on clover productivity was insignificant. Weather conditions during the research influenced the content of crude protein in clover dry mass: in 2012 this indicator varied from 11.92 to 12.74% on the average, in 2018 ‒ from 17.47 to 19.88% against acid and limed background, respectively.
The Ubiquity of the Level: The Multi-Level Governance Approach to the Analysis of Transnational Municipal Networks
Authors: Mocca Elisabetta
Published: August 2019

European cities have built cooperative relations through transnational municipal networks (TMNs). Most of the dedicated literature has relied on the multi-level governance (MLG) framework, claiming that the establishment of TMNs has been favoured by the multi-tier and multi-actor system of governance developed within the European Union. While MLG can help to illustrate the characteristics and functions of TMNs, it does not enable to explain the engagement of European cities in these organisations. This article therefore identifies and discusses the analytical and operational limitations of the MLG approach. It is claimed that the MLG framework does not provide a suitable analytical approach to shed light on the economic, political and institutional drivers of the participation of European cities in TMNs. By way of contrast, an urban approach hinging on the urban level may address the MLG’s analytical and empirical shortcomings.
Performance e documentário de memória afetiva

Published: August 2019

Propõe-se a uma aproximação inicial da relação entre performance e memória traumática e suas implicações para a narrativa documentária em primeira pessoa (autobiográfica). Entende performance como um comportamento expressivo capaz de transmitir a memória e a identidade cultural, a partir da valorização tanto do repertório quanto do arquivo, como proposto por Diana Taylor (2013). Neste tipo de cinema o testemunho é da ordem da performance, de uma performance afetiva do documentarista.

Multidomain lifestyle interventions have been identified as a promising strategy to counteract cognitive decline in older age but mechanistic accounts for how such interventions should be designed are lacking. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is essential for experience-dependent plasticity and increases transiently following physical exercise, suggesting that physical exercise may facilitate subsequent learning by inducing a heightened state of brain plasticity. We therefore hypothesized that cognitive ability in older adults would benefit more from cognitive training when it is immediately preceded as opposed to followed by physical exercise and that the relationship between exercise-induced increases in peripheral BDNF (assessed at pretest) and cognitive training outcomes (change from pretest to posttest) would be greater when cognitive training is preceded by physical exercise. Healthy older adults (n=97) were randomized to receive either physical exercise immediately before cognitive training, physical exercise immediately after cognitive training, physical exercise only, or cognitive training only, in each training session during a 12-week long intervention period. Consistent with the hypothesis, greater increases of plasma BDNF following physical exercise were associated with greater cognitive training gains on trained task paradigms, but only when such increases immediately preceded cognitive training (ß=0.14, 95% CI [0.04, 0.25]). However, average cognitive training outcome did not significantly differ depending on whether participants received physical exercise before or after cognitive training (ß=0.05, 95% CI [-0.10, 0.20]). The study provides the first empirical support for a time-critical but advantageous role for post-exercise increases in peripheral BDNF for learning in older adults at an interindividual level, with implications for the design of future multidomain interventions. More research will be required to understand the factors that likely interact with and counteract such beneficial effects and to determine whether all older adults could potentially benefit from engaging in physical exercise prior to learning.

Published: August 2019

the precise control upon each degree of freedom of a robotic arm is a great challenge in implementing industrial work. To simplify mechatronics motion control systems design, this paper proposes mathematical modeling, simulation and control of a given electric motor in terms of input volt, Vin and output motions. The proposed model can be used to select, design, test and validate both plant's and motion control design to meet desired output performance. It presents a basic example of PID control applied to a robotic manipulator arm.
Web-based E-diagnostic for Digestive System Disorders in Humans using the Demster Shafer Method
Authors: Triayudi Agung
Published: August 2019

Digestive system disorders are dangerous diseases. Lack ofawareness of public health is still low, life habits, behavior and mindset that want to live practically, a means of delivering information about diseases that are still lacking, and the lack of medical personnel is a problem, therefore an expert system application is needed to diagnose disease on the web-based digestive system. By providing certainty in the form of a percentage, then using the calculation through symptoms chosen by the user of each symptom has a density value, the density value is obtained from the results of interviews with doctors. Web-based E-Diagnostics for digestive system disorders uses the Dempster Shafer method which is expected to help users by providing information on disease diagnosis and solutions that can be done to help cure it, the Dempster Shafer Method has the ability to provide a high level of accuracy or certainty, which method this has characteristics that are in accordance with the way an expert thinks. This web-based expert system application will display symptoms that can be selected by the user to get the final results in the form of rapid disease diagnoses and suggestions for prevention in order to find out information in the form of diagnoses of diseases of the digestive system. Based on the calculation of accuracy that has been done in this study, it can be seen that the Dempster Shafer Method is the method that has the highest value with 85% confidence compared to theCertainty Factor Method with a value of 60%.
Dangerous and distinctive properties bias category judgments late in development
Authors: Noyes Alexander , Dunham Yarrow , Keil Frank
Published: August 2019

When faced with entities with potentially ambiguous category membership, adult category judgments are strongly biased towards dangerous and distinctive properties. For example, a cyanide-water mixture is categorized as cyanide. We used a developmental approach to better understand this cross-domain effect, which we term the asymmetric categorization of mixtures (ACM). According to ACM, attention is biased towards perceived dangerous or distinctive properties, making them prominent in conceptual representation. We consider whether ACM is driven entirely by low-level processes of attention, or whether ACM might require the integration of attention with causal-explanatory reasoning. We argue that ACM requires forms of reasoning that only emerge robustly in middle childhood. Across three studies (N = 270), we find that ACM emerges only after the 7th year for liquids (Study 1-3), and even later for race (Study 1 and 3). Results are discussed in terms of competing theoretical accounts of ACM.
Distinct and similar patterns of emotional development in adolescents and young adults

Adolescence represents a time of significant change in emotional processes. To what extent these changes in emotional processes are similar or distinct in adolescents relative to young adults remains largely unknown. The current study tested whether variation in reaction times to emotional stimuli could distinguish between different phases of emotional development. Ex-Gaussian parameters mu, sigma and tau were computed, in addition to mean, median and standard deviation (SD) in reaction times (RT) during an emotional go/nogo-paradigm with fearful, happy and calm facial expressions in 377 participants, 6 to 30 years of age. Mean RT showed consistent slowing to fearful expressions relative to both calm and positive cues across development, but mu revealed that this pattern was more specific to adolescence. In contrast, increased variability to fearful expressions relative to both happy and calm ones was captured by SD and tau and specific to young adulthood. The findings suggest that in adolescents and young adults response speed and variability are differentially modulated by negative emotional information, possibly reflecting distinct phases of the development of emotional processing. Understanding age specific changes in negative emotional processes ultimately may inform our understanding of the emergence of different psychopathologies in adolescence and in early adulthood.
From Contradiction to Coherence: Theory Building in the Sociology of Culture
Authors: Vaisey Stephen
Published: August 2019

“Culture” is one of sociology’s central theoretical concepts. Though cultural explanations of social phenomena fell out of favor for a time (for a variety of various political and intellectual reasons) they have returned to a place of prominence in the discipline. Despite this “cultural renaissance,” however, wide variation in scholars’ use of the term has made it difficult for non-specialists to understand what role it might play in their research. Moreover, some of these different uses even seem to be logically contradictory, with a minority of scholars regarding culture as defining the ends of action and a majority regarding it as comprising a means for action.The objective of this paper, is to advocate for a theory-building strategy that has yielded -- and I believe will continue to yield -- advances in cultural theory.
Government and Digital Engagement Technologies: The Elusive Search for Consensus
Authors: Lobo-Pulo Audrey E. , Ribas Fernandes José J. F. , Hester Annette , Hum Ryan J.
Published: August 2019

As new digital platforms emerge and governments look at new ways to engage with citizens, there is an increasing awareness of the role these platforms play in shaping public participation and democracy. We examine three case studies on digital engagement (vTaiwan, We the People, and social media), and discuss key considerations for effective public engagement in the digital age: Empowerment, time to deliberate, transparency, useful data, consensus, and dynamic engagement. We hope that these serve as a basis for constructing meaningful engagement.
Increased carbon footprint of materials production driven by rise in investments
Authors: Hertwich Edgar
Published: August 2019

The production of materials is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce emissions, policies aim to enhance material efficiency and the circular economy but our understanding of the dynamics of material-related greenhouse gas emissions is limited. Here, I quantify the greenhouse gas emissions from material production and the carbon footprint of materials in industries that are the first users of materials, and in final consumption, using in a multiregional input-output model of the global economy and the hypothetical extraction method. From 1995 to 2015, greenhouse gas emissions from just material production increased by 120%, with 11 billion tons CO2-equivalent emitted in 2015. As a proportion of global emissions, material production rose from 15 to 23%. China accounted for 75% of the growth. In terms of the first use of materials, two fifths of the carbon footprint of materials is attributed to construction, and two fifths to the manufacturing of machinery, vehicles, and other durable products. Overall, the replacement of existing or formation of new capital stocks now accounts for 60% of material-related emissions. Policies that address the rapidly growing capital stocks in emerging economies therefore offer the best prospect for emission reductions from material efficiency.
Unproductive by choice: substitution and the slowdown in aggregate productivity growth in the United States
Authors: Flynn Zach
Published: August 2019

I propose a new decomposition of aggregate total factor productivity. I model productivity as an index of unmeasured factors of production, and decompose the conditional factor demand for this index. With this model of productivity, changes in the price of labor or capital cause substitution to or from productivity. I study whether such changes explain the slowdown in US productivity growth from 2005 to 2016. I find that the declining growth rate of the effective price of labor and capital encouraged substitution away from productivity. If labor and capital prices had remained constant, productivity growth would be accelerating.
