Examining the Relationship between Fire Interest and Firesetting: Contributions of Previous Experience with Fire and Self and Emotional Regulation
Authors:   , Sherrell Rosalie
Published: April 2021

Deliberate firesetting is an international problem with significant personal and economic cost. Interest in fire has previously been identified as a unique predictor of deliberate firesetting, however little is known about how fire interest interacts with other factors to produce firesetting. This research aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the role of fire interest by exploring how this construct interacts with previous exposure to fire and aspects of self and emotional regulation, and how this relates to firesetting behaviour. Two anonymous online studies were conducted among New Zealand adult community samples: Study 1 examined the relationship between fire interest, previous exposure to fire, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and sensation seeking (N = 146); Study 2 replicated the first study and explored the relationship between these factors and engagement in deliberate firesetting (N = 149). Results from both studies showed that only previous exposure to fire and sensation seeking were consistently positively correlated with fire interest, however, when other variables were controlled for via multiple regression analysis, the thrill/adventure seeking facet of sensation seeking was the only significant predictor of fire interest. In Study 2, logistic regression showed that only fire interest and impulsivity were significant predictors of deliberate firesetting. Moderation analyses indicated that thrill/adventure seeking moderates the relationship between fire interest and firesetting behaviour, while impulsivity does not. These findings extend previous research and theory by providing an initial understanding of how various factors may influence an individual’s level of fire interest and their engagement in deliberate firesetting.

Authors: Tahir Mahmood  , Urwah Iftikhar  , Muhammad Ahsan Bhatti
Published: April 2021

Basically, this is a survey research that investigates the impact of violent cartoons on the behaviour of children. Children often draw strong social or anti-social ideas from children’s movies and cartoons. Television is the most popular medium in which the children are exposed. The media is constantly creating new cartoons with increased violence and children do not realize how harmful this is to them. The study investigates that how children are being exposed to anti-social content and what impact is done on their behavior. Cartoons have much value in personality construction of children especially in very early age. Children try to become like their favorite cartoon character. They try to mimic and copy the actions performed by their favorite cartoon hero. The environment in which the children watch horror or violent cartoons is also very important. They may develop fears or anti-social behavior in the absence of parental guidance.

Published: April 2021

The Caatinga covers 912,529 km² throughout most of the Northeast region of Brazil and accounts for 28.6 million people. This region is characterized by high aridity and long drought periods. In 2013, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that tropical regions, including the semi-arid region of Brazil (mostly covered by Caatinga), will be affected by global climate change. Species of ecological and socio-cultural importance may be impacted by climate change, culminating in a local vulnerability scenario. Our goal was to elaborate maps to predict the future distribution of Cereus jamacaru DC. subsp. jamacaru and Pilosocereus pachycladus F. Ritter subsp. pernambucoensis (F. Ritter) Zappi as a function of climatic changes. The results indicate that C. jamacaru will increase its distribuition in 2050 (in the RCP8.5 scenario) while P. pachycladus will decrease in suitable habitat These findings reaffirm the prediction of desertification in the Caatinga. The interrelationship between man and the studied species, as plant resources, should also be considered to evaluate the social impact and vulnerability conditions of populations that depend on plant resources.  Cereus jamacaru DC.

COMPONENT-STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF MARKETOLOGIST LEADERSHIP COMPETENCE
Authors: Kazakevych Olena
Published: April 2021

The article analyzes the views of domestic and foreign scientists on the essence of «leadership competence» concept, identifies and scientifically conditions the structure of leadership competence of future marketing analysts. As a result of the research the author states that, firstly, leadership competence is a steady integral component of supraprofessional competence of a marketing analyst; secondly, leadership competence of future marketing analysts, as well as its components in most cases is not a natural phenomenon, but emerges as a result of certain experience of a person, which runs on their positive attitude to this phenomenon, awareness of motives and needs in it, acquired knowledge, skills and personal qualities of people, which then find practical implementation in the form of leadership behaviour. Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical investigations we have identified the following structural components of leadership competence of future market analysts: motivational (motives, needs, emotions, values in regard to leadership), cognitive (knowledge, leadership beliefs), activity (actions, skills, abilities, leadership behaviour) and personality (complex of leadership qualities, reflexivity, empathy, emotional intelligence). According to the analysis of the primary positions that can be held by a bachelor of marketing, the functions and corresponding professional competences that require the formed leadership competency of a marketing analyst are identified and it is demonstrated how the leadership competency is realized in the marketing activity. Thus, leadership competence provides grounds for efficient activity in the field of marketing, creating conditions for manifestation of initiative, responsibility and active economic position of a marketing specialist and ensuring his/her professional mobility and competitiveness.
AN ATTACK SCENARIO USING A ROGUE ACCESS POINT IN IEEE 802.11 NETWORKS
Authors: Korolkov Roman
Published: April 2021

One of the most serious security threats to wireless local area networks (WLANs) in recent years is rogue access points that intruders use to spy on and attack. Due to the open nature of the wireless transmission medium, an attacker can easily detect the MAC addresses of other devices, commonly used as unique identifiers for all nodes in the network, and implement a spoofing attack, creating a rogue access point, the so-called "Evil Twin". The attacker goal is to connect legitimate users to a rogue access point and gain access to confidential information. This article discusses the concept, demonstrates the practical implementation and analysis of the “Evil Twin” attack. The algorithm of the intruder's actions, the scenario of attack on the client, and also procedure for setting up the program-implemented rogue access point is shown. It has been proven that the implementation of the attack is possible due to the existence of several access points with the same service set identifier and MAC address in the same area, allowed by 802.11 standard. The reasons for failure operation of the network and possible interception of information as a result of the attack are identified, methods of detecting rogue access points are analyzed. During the experiment, observations of the 802.11 frames showed that there were deviations in the behavior of beacon frames at the time of the "Evil Twin" attack. First, the number of beacon frames coming from the access point which succumbed to the attack is increasing. Secondly, the traffic analyzer detected significant fluctuations in the values of the received signal level, which simultaneously come from a legitimate and rogue access point, which allows to distinguish two groups of beacon frames. The "Evil Twin" attack was implemented and researched using Aircrack-ng – a package of software for auditing wireless networks, and Wireshark – network traffic analyzer. In the future, the results obtained can be used to improve methods of protection against intrusion into wireless networks, in order to develop effective systems for detecting and preventing intrusions into WLAN.
Tracking Work from the Wrist: The Surveillance of Ethiopian Women Athletes for Capital
Authors: Borenstein Hannah
Published: April 2021

This paper considers the ways in which these new GPS watches becoming commonplace among Ethiopian athletes are changing how women professional athletes in Ethiopia (who have the potential to bring in substantial earnings in Ethiopia) are monitored by husbands, coaches, agents, and sponsors. In the past 2-3 years, however, digital self-tracking devices (DSTDs) have come close to replacing shoes as the most sought after training aid. Watches – that track pacing, kilometers, miles, steps, caloric output, elevation gain, and heart rate – are bought and brought home from international competitions and gifted by agents, managers, and fans from abroad. Some sponsored athletes’ data are even instantaneously transferred to Nike laboratories in Portland after they finish practice in Addis Ababa. Drawing on participant observation and interviews, the paper address the new pressures and working conditions that this type of monitoring can introduce by considering how husbands, brothers, coaches, and agents – all men (Ethiopian, European, American, etc.) –  monitor these devices and reflect or change existing the gendered dynamics of working in elite sport. It asks: What are the working implications of this new kind of monitoring? How do they intersect and contest gendered norms that exist through and outside of sport and surveillance studies? And how does this impact conceptions of the body both within and outside of professional athletics?
Digital Self-Monitoring, Bodied Realities: Re-Casting App-Based Technologies in First Episode Psychosis
Authors: Berkhout Suze , Zaheer Juveria
Published: April 2021

Smartphone technology has seen expanding interest across nearly all areas of medicine, including psychiatry. This paper discusses the burgeoning use of digital technologies for symptom monitoring in the field of first episode psychosis. Drawing on Foucauldian theory as well as intersectional feminist materialist and critical disabilities scholarship in science and technology studies (STS), we trace a novel landscape of technologies of the self. We explore the discursive strategies that position first episode psychosis and digital technology as progressive, curative paradigms and utilize our own ethnographic work within the field of first episode psychosis to consider how lived experience is transformed within and through digital technologies. We trouble the unfettered enthusiasm for digital technologies in first episode psychosis in light of how these transformations can be understood within a larger neoliberal political rationality and demarcate the importance of having intersectional feminist STS scholarship attend to this burgeoning field.

This Lab Meeting took place as a roundtable titled Cyborg Manifestations. Hosted at MIT in February 2020, it was part of the Boston-area Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality’s (GCWS) series Feminisms Unbound. The introduction maps the history and structure of the GCWS series and highlights how its rigorous commitment to interdisciplinary graduate education fosters feminist science and technology studies (STS) in the Boston area. The introduction also frames the remarks of the roundtable participants, who speak to drag queens, artificial intelligence, plant life, gender and environmental conservation, and objecthood. Five transcripts or “lab reports” highlight how the figure of the cyborg animates and reinvigorates feminist, queer, and trans approaches to technoscience.

Introduction: Self-Tracking, Embodied Differences, and Intersectionality
Authors: Dolezal Luna , Oikkonen Venla
Published: April 2021

This introduction to the Special Section “Self-Tracking, Embodied Differences, and the Politics and Ethics of Health” situates self-tracking technologies and practices within the contexts of neoliberalism, gendered and racialized health inequalities, and questions of social justice. It argues that intersectional STS analyses are needed to address the complex ways in which self-tracking technologies draw on, and may reinforce, colonial and racialized hierarchies, gendered histories of surveillance, and normative assumptions of ability and embodiment. The introduction outlines the four key areas of concern that the Special Section articles address: tracking mental health, tracking moving bodies, tracking reproductive health, and art interventions.
THE ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIAN ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University of Economics, Kunina Elena V.
Published: April 2021

This article discusses the current state and main trends in the development of innovative activities of the enterprise. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend towards the formation of divisions by enterprises in order to secure an innovative development as well as departments for the development of innovative projects and the creation of Lin laboratories. Implementation of such innovative projects and introduction of innovations in enterprises is the main factor of market competition. It is determined that the intensity of innovative developments and improving the quality of human resources increase the level of competitiveness of the enterprise. Still a significant factor in the innovation activity of the enterprise is the proper need of the enterprise for innovations and the desire to implement them. It is worth focusing on organizational innovations in more detail, since that is the area where the largest decrease in the share of organizations by 0.6% in 2018 compared to 2015 is observed. It is exactly the type of innovations that affects the process of personnel management to a greater extent. Organizational innovations are subject to the fashion fluctuations, and companies are increasingly trying to implement the principles and methods of managing the turquoise organizations as innovative changes. A significant sign of the company’s innovative activity is the proper need of the company for innovations and the desire to implement them. The most common issues of innovative development of Russian enterprises are considered. For example, a key issue of implementing organizational innovations is the discrepancy between fashionable new trends and corporate culture. It is worth noting that at each stage of the company’s development, there is a change in the type of culture. In practice, Russian companies are at the stage of a culture of strength: few of them, while maintaining a culture of strength, have skipped the stage of rules and discipline and are implementing their activities with elements of a culture of success. Methods and tools of personnel management should be used taking into account the specifics of the type of culture in the enterprise. Examples of successful and unsuccessful implementation of innovations in the enterprise are given, taking into account the specifics of the type of culture, as well as the consequences of using these innovations. It is considered as completely unacceptable if an organization uses tools that are not appropriate for the next level of corporate culture, but for an even higher level. It is worth noting that the introduction of innovations is impossible without def﻿ining the strategy, goals and concept of development at the enterprise.

Alberta’s forgotten experiment with electoral reform: the hybrid single transferable vote/alternative vote and the quasi-party system
Authors: Choi Darren C
Published: April 2021

A persistent yet understudied aspect of Alberta’s “quasi-party system” is the role of the electoral system. While many authors have rightly pointed out that a majoritarian single-member plurality system has helped Alberta’s ruling parties produce disproportionate majorities, the province has not always operated under this electoral arrangement. From 1926 until 1955, Alberta had a “hybrid” system, consisting of the Single Transferable Vote in multi-member constituencies in Edmonton and Calgary and the Alternative Vote in single-member constituencies in the rest of Alberta. This unusual attempt at electoral reform played an important role in the dominance of the United Farmers of Alberta and the early Social Credit Party (until 1955). AV acted as an essentially majoritarian system in rural Alberta, producing statistically indistinguishable results from FPTP. This contrasts the Albertan case with other attempts at implementing the Alternative Vote. On the other hand, STV benefited the UFA and Social Credit in two distinct ways. STV increasing proportionality in Edmonton and Calgary, as it has in many other jurisdictions. However, due the hybrid system, the urban opposition in Edmonton and Calgary to the UFA was fragmented by a proportional system like STV. Social Credit, with its larger urban base, used STV to maximize its urban vote through a process of voter transfers. Finally, rural malapportionment is a key feature in both the hybrid system and the subsequent return to single-member plurality. Rural seats, operating under both AV and FPTP, have been the electoral bedrock for Alberta’s long lived political dynasties. The unique case of Alberta’s hybrid electoral system serves as an important potential case study in debates surrounding electoral reform in Canada and around the world.

Bencana Tsunami membawa dampak yang sangat besar bagi komunitas, bukan hanya korban jiwa tetapi juga kehilangan harta benda. Resiliensi komunitas menunjukkan kemampuan komunitas untuk mampu menghadapi bencana yang mengancam keberfungsian komunitas. Modal sosial adalah salah satu elemen yang diharapkan berperan untuk membangun aksi kolektif diantara anggota komunitas agar dapat bertahan dalam situasi kritis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis modal sosial komunitas, menganalisis resiliensi komunitas menghadapi bencana Tsunami, dan menganalisis peranan modal sosial terhadap resiliensi komunitas menghadapi bencana Tsunami. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode survei dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif didukung data kualitatif. Pemilihan responden dilakukan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dengan jumlah responden sebanyak 50 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa resiliensi komunitas belum tercapai, dimana komunitas belum mampu membangun aksi kolektif untuk mengatasi berbagai masalah dan masih bergantung pihak eskternal. Meskipun modal sosial tergolong tinggi, namun anggota komunitas cenderung individualis untuk mengatasi permasalahan yang dihadapi. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah kurang berperannya pemimpin komunitas karena tidak tinggal bersama dengan anggota komunitasnya di hunian sementara (Huntara) sehingga interaksi antar anggota komunitas menjadi terbatas dan tidak ada koordinasi yang baik untuk melakukan aksi bersama dalam mengatasi berbagai masalah yang dihadapi.

Terjadi pergeseran keadaan sosial ekonomi masyarakat Desa pelangan dari sisi mata pencaharian, pada awalnya masyarakat bermata pencaharian sebagai nelayan dan Petani kebun, namun keadaannya berubah, masyarakat banyak memilih profesi menjadi penambang emas. Hal ini diakibatkan telah ditemukan sumber emas di wilayah perbukitan sekotong. Keberhasilan Masyarakat dalam mentransformasi kehidupannya menuju perekonomian yang lebih baik bertolak belakang dengan ketidakpedulian masyarakat terhadap keselamatan diri dan lingkungannya. Permasalahan yang terjadi di masyarakat adalah kurangnya kepedulian terhadap lingkungan.  Lokasi pembuangan limbah sisa gelondongan yang tercampur dengan zat merkuri sangat dekat dengan lokasi sumur-sumur warga desa Pelangan. Dikhawatirkan sumur-sumur warga telah tercemar oleh sisa-sisa gelondongan yang mengadung bahan pencemar. Masyarakat juga belum mendapatkan tentang kondisi air pada sumur-sumur mereka. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka dilakukan pengujian terhadap 8 sumur warga yang memilki tempat pengolahan gelondongan emas. Diambil 8 sampel air sumur dari titik sampel sumur yang sudah ditentukan. dilakukan pengujian kualitas air berdasarkan parameter Daya Hantar Listrik (DHL), Kekeruhan dan suhu. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi dan interpretasi keadaan air, bahwa kondisi air sumur warga disekitar aktivitas gelondongan dapat dikatakan tercemar. Hal ini diidikasikan oleh nilai konduktivitas listriknya >500 us/cm, tingkat kekeruhan >5 ntu. Pada kondisi ini terliahat bahwa semakin dekat jarak pembuangan limbah dengan sumur maka nilai konduktivitas dan tingkat kekeruhan relatif tinggi.

Dari bulan Juli hingga Oktober 2018, Tim Pengabdian Masyarakat dari Fakultas MIPA Universitas Mataram mengadakan pelatihan deteksi telur dan cacing dewasa di Pusat Kesehatan Hewan (Puskeswan) Masbagik Lombok Timur dan pelatihan pembuatan obat cacing alternatif/herbal di Kelompok Peternak Punik Agung, Desa Kesik, Masbagik Lombok Timur dan. Kegiatan diawali dengan deteksi telur cacing dan cacing dewasa pada feses sapi yang dipelihara di kandang kolektif Kelompok Peternak Punik Agung, Desa Kesik. Hasil deteksi feses menunjukkan bahwa semua sapi yang dipelihara di kandang kolektif tersebut menderita cacingan (terdeteksi beberapa jenis/spesies cacing) dengan kategori ringan hingga sedang. Berdasarkan hasil deteksi tersebut, dilakukan pembuatan dan pemberian obat cacing alternatif/herbal. Tanaman yang dipilih sebagai obat herbal cacingan adalah pepaya/gedang (Carica papaya) dan widuri/rembiga (Calotropis gigantea). Dua tanaman ini paling mudah didapat di sekitar perumahan warga di Dusun Kesik dan paling mudah diproses untuk dijadikan obat cacing dibanding tanaman yang lain. Biji pepaya dan bunga widuri dikeringkan dan ditumbuk hingga membentuk serbuk halus untuk kemudian diberikan pada sapi yang menderita cacingan. Berdasarkan hasil deteksi diberikan pemberian obat cacing alternatif/herbal sebagai berikut. Satu kelombok diberi serbuk biji pepaya/gedang (2 hari pemberian sebagai dosis pengobatan), 1 kelompok diberikan serbuk bunga widuri/rembiga (1 hari pemberian sebagai dosis pengobatan) dan 1 kelompok lain diberian albendazol sebagai kontrol positif. Observasi terhadap jumlah telur dan cacing dewasa pasca pemberian obat dilakukan tiap 7 hari sebanyak 2 kali (selama 14 hari). Setelah 14 minggu pemberian obat anternatif/herbal, sapi yang mendapatkan bubuk biji pepaya/gedang menunjukkan penurunan infeksi yang lebih baik (berdasarkan pada penurunan persentase jumlah dan jenis cacing yang menginfeksi) dibandingan dengan bubuk bunga widuri/rembiga. Namun, penurunan tertinggi didapatkan dari sapi yang diberikan Albendazol (kontrol). Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa, bubuk biji pepaya dapat digunakan sebagai obat alternatif untuk mengatasi kasus sapi cacingan, tapi tidak untuk menggantikan obat standar farmasi.

ABSTRAK. Kelapa merupakan salah satu sumber pendapatan ekonomi masyarakat Desa Korleko. Desa Korleko terkenal sebagai salah satu penghasil kelapa terbesar di Pulau Lombok, namun saat ini potensi kelapa tersebut belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Kelapa dijual tanpa melalui proses pengolahan terlebih dahulu. Jika dilakukan pengolahan kelapa terlebih dahulu sebelum dilakukan pemasaran maka nilai jual kelapa akan meningkat. Serabut kelapa adalah hasil produk sampingan dari kelapa yang menjadi limbah dan kurang dimanfaatkan. Serabut kelapa dapat diolah menjadi cocofiber (serat sabut kelapa) dan cocopeat (serbuk sabut kelapa atau gabus) yang dapat di manfaatkan menjadi berbagai produk diantaranya serabut kelapa menjadi keset, sapu, isi bantal dan media tanam holtikultura, serta masih banyak lagi. Semua produk tersebut dapat diproses dengan mudah oleh masyarakat dan memiliki nilai ekonomi yang tinggi sehingga dapat meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat.______________________ Kata kunci : Kelapa, Limbah Serabut Kelapa, cocofiber, cocopeat, Desa Korleko ABSTRACT. Coconut is a source of economic income for the people of Korleko Village. Korleko village is famous as one of the biggest coconut producers on Lombok Island, but at present the potential of coconut has not been used optimally. Coconut is sold without going through the processing first. If coconut processing is carried out prior to marketing, the selling value of coconuts will increase. Coconut fiber is a byproduct of coconut which is waste and is underused. Coconut fiber can be processed into cocofiber (coconut fiber) and cocopeat (coconut fiber powder or cork) which can be utilized as various products including coconut fibers into mats, brooms, pillow contents and horticultural planting media, and many more. All of these products can be processed easily by the community and have high economic value so as to improve the community's economy.______________________ Keywords: Coconut, Coconut Fiber Waste, cocofiber, cocopeat, Korleko Village
