Praktikum ekotoksikologi akuatik menunjukkan bahwa indeks kondisi IK 1, IK 5, dan IK 9 sangat berkorelasi dengan kandungan logam timbal dalam kerang (IBLK). IK-1, IK-5, dan IK-9 merupakan indikator sensitif untuk mendeteksi keberadaan logam timbal dan dapat digunakan sebagai biomarker dalam pemantauan lingkungan. Parameter pengamatan seperti lebar cangkang dan berat dagung kering juga berhubungan signifikan dengan IK-5. Pengamatan pada kerang hijau dan kerang cokelat menunjukkan bahwa kerang cokelat di Perairan Pangkep memiliki konsentrasi logam pencemar yang lebih tinggi daripada kerang hijau di Perairan Pulau Lae-lae. Ukuran kerang dan pertumbuhannya juga mempengaruhi konsentrasi logam timbal di dalam daging kerang. Hasil ini mengindikasikan bahwa indeks kondisi dan parameter pengamatan dapat memberikan informasi penting tentang keberadaan dan dampak logam timbal dalam ekosistem perairan.

Stability of network models linking personality to conspiracy mentality before and during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Stasielowicz Lukasz
Published: June 2023

Discussions about potential intervention targets, antecedences, and consequences of conspiracy beliefs often rely on comparing bivariate correlations, which can mask intricate patterns. Therefore, the present study adopts a multivariate network approach to gain nuanced insights into the relationships between personality variables and conspiracy mentality. Established and less-studied correlates of conspiracy mentality (i.e., bedtime procrastination, life satisfaction, locus of control, neuroticism, political cynicism, self-efficacy, and self-esteem) were examined together in network models at the aggregate score level and item level. Notably, network stability was examined across different samples before (N = 403) and during (N = 193) the COVID-19 pandemic. The main findings are: (a) The strength and sign of the relationships were often stable across bivariate and network analyses (e.g., positive relationship between political cynicism and conspiracy mentality) but with exceptions like an inconsistent link between life satisfaction and conspiracy mentality. (b) Item-level network models revealed additional insights compared to aggregate scale score models (e.g., relationships between self-esteem and conspiracy mentality). (c) While many network relationships and centrality indices were similar before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, some noteworthy exceptions indicate interventions targeting implausible conspiracy beliefs may benefit from tailoring to external circumstances. (d) Certain influential network elements were identified that could inform future interventions (e.g., increasing politicians' accountability and personal feelings of pride).
Advancing The Shift-Of-Strategy Approach: Shifting Suspects’ Strategies in Extended Interviews
Authors: Nyström Lina , Luke Timothy John , Granhag Anders , Dönmez Aziz-Kaan , Ekelund Malin , Stern Pär David
Published: June 2023

The Shift-of-Strategy (SoS) approach is an interrogation technique designed to obtain new information from suspects. The SoS approach elicits information by shifting suspects’ counter-interrogation strategies from less, to more forthcoming by challenging discrepancies in the statement. The current study presents a robust empirical test of the SoS approach, involving longer interviews than previously tested. We also tested a new variation of the approach; SoS-Reinforcement, where suspects’ statements were strategically summarized by the interviewer. N = 300 participants completed an online mock crime procedure and were interviewed using one of the two SoS versions or with an interviewing approach which involved no confrontation of discrepancies. The SoS versions elicited more information from participants than direct questioning. Participants interviewed with the SoS-Reinforcement technique had slightly more negative experiences of being interviewed compared to the remaining conditions. In essence, the present study provides additional support of the effectiveness of the SoS approach while illuminating possible experiential downsides associated with being subjected to the SoS-Reinforcement approach.
Cognitive correlates of reading: comparison of Braille and print readers
Authors: Dzięgiel Gabriela , Beck Joanna Ludwika , Szczerbinski Marcin , Jednoróg Katarzyna
Published: June 2023

The cognitive correlates of reading are similar between different writing systems, however, the strength of the relationships may vary. We compared Braille to print reading in 53 blind and 53 sighted Polish-speaking subjects (age: 9-60). Blind subjects were more proficient in PA tasks than sighted subjects. Additionally, the relationship between PA and reading was different between the groups and interacted with age. In the blind, PA explained a significant proportion of variance in reading efficiency in school-aged Braille readers only. RAN turned out to explain a significant amount of reading skills variance, independently of the modality. Tactile reading seems to alter cognitive correlates of reading. It may also influence the pace at which reading is acquired
Judging Guilt: Implicit Evaluations of Defendants Predict Verdicts
Authors: Korkmaz Arin , Mann Thomas Cornell , Sommers Roseanna , Ferguson Melissa
Published: June 2023

In three preregistered studies, we presented mock jurors with a fictional murder trial in which the evidence against a defendant was mixed: some witnesses provided testimony suggesting guilt while others sowed doubt. In all studies, implicit evaluations of the defendant, operationalized by the Affect Misattribution Procedure scores (AMP), uniquely predicted verdicts above and beyond explicit evaluations (Study 1-3), the reason for evidence exclusion (Study 2), and demographics of the defendant (Study 3). These findings advance our understanding of implicit social cognition by demonstrating that implicit evaluations operationalized the AMP scores can have predictive power in complex, ecologically rich contexts.
Causal definitions vs. casual estimation: Reply to Valente, Rijnhart, & Miocevic (2023).
Authors: Brandt Holger
Published: June 2023

In this response to Valente, Rijnhart, and Miocevic (2023), I am discussing the plausibility and applicability of the proposed mediation model and its causal effects estimation for single case experimental designs (SCEDs). I will focus on the underlying assumptions that the authors use to identify the causal effects. These assumptions include the particularly problematic assumption of sequential ignorability or no-unmeasured confounders. First, I will discuss the plausibility of the assumption in general and then particularly for SCEDs by providing an analytic argument and a re-analysis of the empirical example in Valente et al. (2023). Second, I will provide a simulation that reproduces the design by Valente et al. (2023) with the exception that for a more realistic depiction of empirical data, an unmeasured confounder affects the mediator and outcome variables. The results of this simulation study indicate that even minor violations will lead to type I error rates up to 100\% and coverage rates as low as 0\% for the defined causal direct and indirect effects. Third, using historical data on the effect of birth control on stork population and birth rates, I will show that mediation models like the proposed method can lead to surprising artifacts. These artifacts can hardly be identified with statistically means including methods such as sensitivity analyses.
Prevalence of, and Gender Differences in College Students’ Alcohol-Related Regretted Sex: A Scoping Review
Authors: Moran James , Masterson Abigail Patricia , Chance Sarah , Morgan Jane , Hone Liana Senneth Elliott
Published: June 2023

Purpose of review: Alcohol-related regretted sex has been linked to anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, suicidal ideation, and alcohol misuse. We reviewed rates of, and gender differences in college students’ experiences of alcohol-related regretted sex to provide prevalence estimates that will inform future data collection efforts and eventually, interventions to reduce risk for this alcohol consequence. Recent Findings: A search of five databases through 2022 yielded seven cross-sectional studies. Sample sizes ranged from 303 to 1,304, most subjects were white, and all studies took place at four-year institutions granting bachelor’s degrees.Summary: The limited literature on college students’ experiences of alcohol-related regretted sex suggests lifetime prevalence is as high as 40%, with a past-month prevalence as high as 6%. Three of the seven included studies reported that women were more likely to experience alcohol-related regretted sex, three reported no significant gender differences, and one reported that men were more likely to experience alcohol-related regretted sex.
Left or right, that is the question: Use of egocentric frame of reference and the right-eye advantage for understanding gestural signs in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncates)
Authors: Tomonaga Masaki , Uwano-Ito Yuka , Saito Toyoshi , Sakurai Natsuko
Published: June 2023

How do bottlenose dolphins visually perceive the space around them? In particular, what cues do they use as a frame of reference for left-right perception? To address this question, we examined the dolphin's responses to various manipulations of the spatial relationship between the dolphin and the trainer by using gestural signs for actions given by the trainer, which have different meanings in the left and right hands. When the dolphins were tested with their backs to the trainer (Experiment 1) or in an inverted position underwater (Experiments 2 and 3), correct responses from the trainer's perspective were maintained for signs related to movement direction instructions. In contrast, reversed responses were frequently observed for signs that required different sounds for the left and right hands. When the movement direction instructions were presented with symmetrical graphic signs such as "×" and "●", accuracy decreased in the inverted posture (Experiment 3). Furthermore, when the signs for sounds were presented from either the left or right side of the dolphin's body, performance was better when the side of the sign movement coincided with the body side on which it was presented than when it was mismatched (Experiment 4). In the final experiment, when one eye was covered with an eyecup, the results showed that, as in the case of body-side presentation, performance was better when the open eye coincided with the side on which the sign movement was presented. These results indicate that dolphins used the egocentric frame for visuospatial cognition. In addition, they showed better performances when the gestural signs were presented to the right eye, suggesting the possibility of a left-hemispheric advantage in the dolphin's visuospatial cognition.
Alltagslogiken. Eine theoretisch-begriffliche Konzeption am Beispiel des „guten Konsums“
Authors: Gruhn Lara
Published: June 2023

Consumers develop their own logics in order to solve or at least to be able to withstand tensions between knowledge and everyday activities. This article therefore explores the question of how empirical cultural studies can approach this production of coherence at the subject level. With “everyday logics“, a conceptual approach is designed that makes it possible to approximate intellectual conclusions in different fields which bring existing knowledge and realities of life into harmony. Using seven key assumptions, everyday logics are conceptualised and exemplified on the basis of narrative interviews. The article argues that everyday logics are of great relevance because they form that essential part of consumer practice that is geared towards integrating knowledge situationally into everyday contexts and developing individual calls to action from it.

Published: June 2023

Während die Formierungsphase der anglo-amerikanischen Reen-actment-Szene bereits gut erforscht ist, steht eine Historisierung von Reenactments als populärkulturelle Praxis der Vergegenwärtigung von Vergangenheit für den euro-päischen Raum zum Großteil noch aus. Insbesondere über die Entwicklungen in in der DDR und der BRD ist bislang wenig bekannt. Hier setzt dieser Beitrag an und leis-tet eine erste Rekonstruktion und Einordnung der Entwicklungen in den zwei deut-schen Staaten, die vor allem in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren an Dynamik gewannen. Im Fokus steht dabei die subjektive Erfahrung zeitgenössischer Akteure, anhand der nachvollzogen wird, wie sich die Gruppen von Geschichtsinteressierten in den beiden deutschen Staaten formierten, konsolidierten und worin sie sich glichen beziehungs-weise unterschieden. Ebenso wird beleuchtet, unter welchen politischen Maßgaben und alltäglichen Bedingungen die Menschen handelten. Auf Grundlage dieser ersten akteurszentrierten Sondierungen macht der Text auf Forschungsdesiderata aufmerk-sam und entwickelt weiterführende Forschungsfragen für zukünftige Untersuchungen dieses Feldes, etwa in Bezug auf die transnationalen Beziehungen und Netzwerke der Reenactment-Szenen und die Entwicklungen der Nachwendezeit.

Published: June 2023

Good governance is the key for development and prosperity. Effective, stable, and accountable governments are essential in the fight against poverty. It is the critical factor in poverty reduction as well as in achieving development objective in its right. Good governance does not occur by chance. It must be demanded and nourished explicitly and consciously by the nationstate. Local government is the closest tier and unit of government to the citizen at the lowest level. Good governance is the major yardstick for people's prosperity. Well accepted good governance always addresses the felt needs of local people. If governing practice does not run according to people's desire, it always stimulates the corruption and instability. This manuscript examines the major problems and people's perceptions in light of local level governing practices including planning, budgeting, fund mobilizing, participation and entire developmental activities. Lack of knowledge governance values and principles, poor service delivery, unnecessary interference, inconsistency among the political parties, prevalence of corruption, low level of practical and theoretical ideas of service delivery mechanism among the elected members, lack of honesty between elected members and government personnel are the key problems of good governance in practice.

Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights: A Study of the Reader's Response
Authors: Yadav Pravu Ray
Published: June 2023

Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights presents a true love between Catherine and Heathcliff from puritan perception. Their love, however, gets into trouble because of their cultural misunderstanding. Heathcliff is an uncultured character whereas Catherine is a cultured woman. They are spotlessly right in their own place. So, the readers show equal sympathy for both characters because they (Catherine and Heathcliff) are equally innocent in their love affairs. Both are upright in their respective attitude towards each other but both remain unfortunate in society. Their relationship is a subject of deep interest and reflection for the readers.

Published: June 2023

This research article deals with feedback practices given by the teachers and received by the students in English as a foreign language classroom. It also highlights the attitudes and feelings of teachers towards the oral feedback. This study gives some insights into the role of oral feedback in the EFL classroom and effective feedback strategies to EFL teachers, students, researchers and policy makers. It paves the way for effective classroom interactions between teachers and students. The teachers had different views on the issues related to the use of feedback strategies in EFL classrooms. Although the teachers have understood the importance of oral feedback and been familiar with some common strategies of using oral feedback contextually, some teachers are found to have neglected the use of giving oral feedback in language teaching From this study, I found that teachers need to learn a variety of interactive activities for giving oral feedback in practice and students need some instruction for receiving it.

Identity Crisis in V.S. Naipaul’s The Mimic Men
Authors: Shrestha Ravi Kumar
Published: June 2023

This paper explores the identity crisis of the protagonist Ralph Singh in the novel The Mimic Men by V.S. Naipaul. With the increasing trend of migration of people in the postwar era, the immigrants who leave their lands and settle in the host lands face multiple problems such as the identity crisis. Ralph Singh who is depicted as the protagonist in the novel suffers from the trauma because of his loss of identity crisis, which gets reflected through his writing of memoirs that indicates the construction of an authentic and dignified identity for postcolonial individuals like his own. His memoirs show howhis ancestors had migrated to Isabella, a British colony in the Caribbean, a long time ago. He embraces his reality of being a colonized individual, but is reluctant to embrace his hybrid identity. He regards mimicry and hybridity as negative forces to weaken and endanger the colonized ones’ identity. In course of dealing with the identity crisis of Ralph Singh, the postcolonial theorists such as Homi K. Bhabha, Stuart Hall and Edward Said and the critics such as SamanAbdulquadir H.D., Dr S. Sophia Christinia etc. are used. Thus, this paper deals with the identity crisis of Ralph Singh which is caused by mimicry, displacement, alienation, rootlessness and hybridity.PostcolonialNovel

The study aims to evaluate the survival of GIC restorations on primary molar teeth of dental patients attending College of Medical Sciences, Chitwan.
Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted among the patients who were treated with, at least one GIC restoration (GC Fuji II/GC Fuji IX GP) in their primary molars during the past three years. Data were collected to assess the demographic variables like gender, economic status and mother’s education; restoration-related variables like no of surfaces involved, type of material used, location of the restoration in oral cavity, and age of restoration and; outcome related variable i.e. survival of restoration (survived / failed). United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria was used to determine survival. Data analysis was done using software SPSS version 17. Chi-square tests were carried out to find out the association between dependent and independent variables. Significance level was set at p<0.05.
Results: The 1-3 years cumulative survival rate of the GIC restoration in primary molars was found to be 74.5%. The survival rates for 1 year, 2 years and 3 years were found to be 93.5%, 78.6% and 62.5% respectively. There was no significant association between the survival of the restoration and location of the tooth in oral cavity and sociodemographic indicators like gender, age, economic status and mother’s education. However, statistically significant association was found between survival of restoration and type of restorative material, number of surfaces involved and age of restoration. Type VIII GIC had a higher survival rate (85.7%) compared to Type II GIC (68.2%), and single-surface restorations had a higher survival rate (84.9%) compared to two-surface restorations (52.3%).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that GIC can be used for restoring primary molars, particularly as single-surface restorative material. It also suggests that Type VIII GIC can more effective in restoring the primary molars as compared to the conventional Type II GIC.
Maxillary Single Complete Denture with Metal Mesh Reinforcement: A Case Report

Published: June 2023

Single complete denture opposing natural dentition is common occurrence in daily practice. Opposing natural dentition could be completely or partially edentulous. Fabrication of single complete denture is always challenging to the dentists. It is difficult to achieve balanced occlusion in such cases because the remaining natural dentition could be extruded from socket, tilted or mispositioned. Heat cured denture base resins are most commonly used material for fabrication of denture but they tend to fracture when it is opposed by the natural dentition. The use of a metal mesh in denture base for reinforcement offers many advantages in such cases. This case report presents a case of fabrication of maxillary single complete denture with metal mesh opposing natural dentition in lower arch.

Le présent article soutient que les indicateurs expérientiels de la vulnérabilité financière permettent d’avoir une compréhension plus solide du phénomène que les mesures couramment utilisées pour évaluer l’endettement des ménages canadiens. Les résultats de l’enquête sur le bien-être financier de 2018 de l’Agence de la consommation en matière financière du Canada (ACFC) révèlent que la vulnérabilité financière est multidimensionnelle, qu’elle est fortement liée à un faible revenu ainsi qu’à des chocs négatifs sur le revenu et les dépenses. D’importantes variations dans d’autres facteurs potentiels sont évidentes, notamment le fait que les personnes financièrement vulnérables dans des dimensions objectives ne déclarent pas se sentir stressées et vice versa. L’étude conclut qu’une telle représentation nuancée de la vulnérabilité financière s’avère particulièrement prometteuse pour évaluer pleinement l’efficacité des politiques et inspirer des interventions mieux éclairées.
Homeless Shelter Use by Age and Community with Implications for the Cost of Maintaining City-Wide Systems of Emergency Shelters: A Comparison of Calgary and Toronto
Authors: Jadidzadeh Ali , Kneebone Ron
Published: June 2023

La présente étude utilise des données administratives de Calgary et de Toronto pour relier trois résultats clés de la littérature sur l’utilisation des refuges pour sans-abri. Ces résultats sont utilisés aux fins d’estimation du coût du maintien d’un système de refuges pour sans-abri à l’échelle communautaire. Les trois résultats principaux (à savoir que les personnes en situation d’itinérance à un refuge vivent leur condition de manières très différentes, que cette situation varie en fonction de l’âge, d’une part, et selon la communauté, d’autre part) sont présentés en utilisant des données comparables collectées sur une période de temps commune et en appliquant des hypothèses et des méthodes communes pour le traitement de ces données. Cette approche permet de mettre à l’essai les différences statistiquement significatives concernant la manière dont l’itinérance à un refuge est vécue, et fournit ainsi un ensemble de résultats confirmant à quel point les personnes en situation d’itinérance à un refuge sont sensibles à leur âge et à leur lieu d’hébergement. Enfin, l’étude montre la façon dont ces différences influent sur le coût du maintien d’un système de centres d’hébergement d’urgence pour sans-abri à l’échelle communautaire. Les résultats confirment que des mesures qui peuvent être considérées comme une solution peu coûteuse pour fournir un abri dans certains lieux et pour certains groupes sont plutôt plus coûteuses dans d’autres lieux et pour d’autres groupes. L’article procède également à une mesure des économies réalisées par les responsables de refuges en logeant les personnes anciennement sans-abri.

Archaeological research of a group of monuments located in the valley of the Taldy River (Shetsky district of the Karaganda region) that were conducted in the 2nd decade of the XXI century provided important infor-mation about the chronology and transcultural interaction of the early Alakul population of the Bronze Age of the region. This article proposes to consider the results of work on three structures of the Alakul cultural tradition. The main necrofield-forming position was occupied by structure 1, which was an earth mound with a diameter of 15.5 m, which had a ring fence on the floors of the embankment. During the excavations, it was found that in addition to the central burial, there were numerous children’s burials located along its perimeter, as well as in the mound. In the southwestern part of the excavation, the poorly preserved remains of two horses were unearthed, one of which was initially represented by an anatomically intact skeleton, directed to the south with its vertebrae and the muzzle, and the second one, according to the principle of pars pro toto, with a pair of limbs. A bone psalium was found on the shoulder blade of the animal. The placement of the remains of horses on a burial ground is a characteristic feature of the high-status burial places of the Alakul society, emphasizing the belonging of the deceased to a group of chariot warriors. Summing up, the early Alakul affiliation of the burials of the burial ground Kotyrtas is emphasized by the characteristic cheek-piece, the burial of a horse, ribbed pot-shaped vessels, and a large central burial. Regarding the time of existence of Central Kazakhstan monuments of this type, it seems possible to draw parallels with similarly dated complexes of the region, the age of which is determined within the 19th–17th centuries BC

One of the contingents of Karlag prisoners were children who shared the tragic fate of their mothers, many of whom ended up in the camp as “MFTM” – “members of the families of traitors to the Motherland”. The article considers the historiography of the children's camp theme in Karlag, the authors summarize that the problem of “children of Karlag” in domestic historiography has been studied fragmentarily and superficially, there are no systemic, fundamental works. In this publication, an attempt is made, based on archival materials,memoirs, and interviews of former little prisoners of the Karaganda FLC, to trace the conditions of detention and fragments of camp life that ended up in one of the most sinister camps in Kazakhstan. The source base of the article is represented by three main types of written historical sources of the 30s-50s. of the 20th century: legal documents on the GULAG camps, records management documentation of the Karlag and statistical materials from the archival funds of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation on the number, mortality of children, etc. The article uses fragments of the memories of the prisoners of Karlag from published collections, as well as interview materials taken by one of the authors of this publication from former prisoners of the Karaganda FLC. The article involves documents from the archival funds of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the fund of the Political Department of the Karlag from the State Archive of the Karaganda region; the fund of the Karlag Administration from the Archive of the Office of the Committee for Legal Statistics and Special Records of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the Karaganda region) and the Russian Federation (the fund of the Main Directorate of Places of Detention (GUMZ) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR from the State Archive of the Russian Federation).

The results of the elections to the 1st and 2nd State Duma and the election campaigns showed the interest of the population of the Steppe Territory in democratic changes. This led to the fact that even with curtailed voting rights and obstacles posed by the administration, the majority elected to the 1st and 2nd Dumas persons who enjoyed authority among the population and advocated transformations in the socio-political system of tsarist Russia. The article describes the election campaigns, which were indicators of the social activity of the inhabitants of the Steppe region. The authors show that during the elections to the 1st and 2nd State Dumas, the progressive Kazakh democratic intelligentsia, which called for the use of the Duma to protect the rights of nomads, intensified its activities.
Oral History of Migration from China to Kazakhstan during the period of “Cultural Revolution” (1966–1976)
Authors:   University ", А.K. Kаmalov ,   Turan"
Published: June 2023

The article examines the last stage of interstate migration from China to Kazakhstan in 1950–1970, that is, the period of the so-called “great cultural revolution”, which began in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1966 and lasted ten years. Migration of this period from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of the PRC to Soviet Kazakhstan was not mass-scale and took the form of groups of young Kazakhs and Uighurs who crossed the Kazakh section of the Soviet-Chinese state border. They were persecuted by the Chinese authorities as “counter-revolutionaries” and “revisionists.” The events related to the escape of some groups of young people to Kazakhstan in the early years of the “cultural revolution” are reconstructed in the article based on oral histories recorded during the implementation of the research project “Oral history of migration in 1950–1970s from China to Kazakhstan”, as well as archival materials and memoir literature. The study of oral histories and other sources revealed specific features of the migration of that time: it affected a limited number of politically active youth from among the local Turkic peoples of the XUAR and represented the spontaneous escape of young people in extreme political conditions, namely, in the conditions of a political struggle for power between different groups of the Communist Party of China (CCP), mass political repression and persecutions. The last group of refugees arrived in Kazakhstan on the eve of 1970, after which the “iron curtain” in Soviet-Chinese relations finally closed.
