Peer tutoring of computer programming increases exploratory behavior in children
Authors: de la Hera Diego , Zanoni Maria Belen , Sigman Mariano , Calero Cecilia Inés
Published: June 2020

There is growing interest to teach computer science and programming skills at schools. Here we investigate the efficacy of peer-tutoring which is known to be a useful educational resource in other domains, but never before examined in such a core aspect of applied logical thinking in children. We compared (1) how children learn computer programming from an adult vs learning from a peer, and (2) the effect of teaching a peer vs simply revising what has been learned. Our results indicate that children taught by a peer showed comparable performance to their classmates taught by an adult. However, learning from a peer promoted a more exploratory behavior, resulting in a less conservative speed-accuracy trade-off, with shorter response times, at the expense of lower accuracy. By contrast, no effects of teaching were found. Our results thus provide empirical evidence in support of peer tutoring as a way to help teaching computer programming to children. This could contribute to the promotion of a widespread understanding of how computers operate and how to shape them, essential to our values of democracy, plurality and freedom.
State-level Stay-at-home Orders and Objectively Measured Movement in the United States During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Bourassa Kyle J.
Published: June 2020

Objective: Social distancing has been one of the primary interventions used to slow the spread of COVID-19. State-wide stay-at-home orders received a large degree of attention as a public health intervention to increase social distancing, but relatively little peer-reviewed research has examined the extent to which stay-at-home orders affected people’s behavior. Method: This study used GPS-derived movement from 2,858 counties in the United States from March 1 to May 7, 2020 to test the degree to which changes in state-level stay-at-home orders were associated with movement outside the home. Results: From the first week of March to the first week of April, people in counties within states that enacted stay-at-home orders decreased their movement significantly more than people in counties within states that did not enact state-level stay-at-home orders. From the first week of April to the first week of May, people in counties within states that ended their stay-at-home orders increased their movement significantly more than people in counties within states whose stay-at-home orders remained in place. The magnitude of change in movement associated with state-level stay-at-home orders was many times smaller than the total change in movement across all counties over the same periods of time in both cases. Conclusions: Stay-at-home orders are likely insufficient to reduce people’s movement outside the home without additional public health actions. Existing research on behavior change would be useful to determine what additional interventions could support social distancing behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic if becomes necessary to reduce movement in the future.
Eavesdropping on Interpersonal Behavior in Everyday Life
Authors: Sun Jessie
Published: June 2020

People are defined in large part by how they relate to and interact with others. Yet, relatively little research has examined what people actually do to each other during their everyday social interactions. Across seven chapters, this dissertation explores the connections between personality traits, interpersonal behaviors, and social consequences. In Chapter 1, I argue for the centrality of behavior in the conceptualization of interpersonal traits. In Chapter 2, I review the tradeoffs between different methods of capturing interpersonal behavior in everyday life and introduce the dataset that I use in the following four empirical chapters. This dataset (N = 287) includes personality traits, 18 interpersonal behaviors coded from audio recordings of everyday life, and social consequences reported by friends. The first two empirical chapters (Chapters 3–4) examine the psychometric properties of the 18 interpersonal behaviors. Chapter 3 explores their factor structure and suggests that 14 of the behaviors may reflect more general tendencies towards supportiveness, negativity, mockery, and gossip. Chapter 4 addresses one of the most fundamental issues in personality psychology—behavioral consistency—by showing that these interpersonal behaviors show modest amounts of rank-order stability across one year. Chapter 5 demonstrates that personality traits are manifested in concrete interpersonal behaviors and reveals several gender differences in interpersonal behaviors, but limited implications for friend-reported social consequences. In the last empirical chapter (Chapter 6), I conduct metric calibration to make the interpersonal behavioral manifestations of personality traits (based on the correlates from Chapter 5) more concrete and meaningful by mapping frequencies of behaviors to otherwise arbitrary scores on personality trait measures. Finally, I conclude by discussing the complexities of establishing connections between traits and behaviors and the unique value and challenges of measuring actual behavior (Chapter 7).

Published: June 2020

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of commercial pectolytic enzymes on the anthocyanin composition, colour parameters and specific sensory atributes in young wines produced of Croatian autochthonous variety Babić. The maceration without commercial enzymes was compared with two different enzymes: pectinase with additional cellulase and hemicellulase activity (A) and the pectinase with inactive yeast cells (B), during two harvests. Both products had a positive effect on the anthocyanin content and composition, but with different intensities. The influence of enzymes was confirmed through the colour parameters; intensity, hue and the ratio between yellow, red and blue, depending on product. Young wines produced with pectinase enzyme were significantly better, for all parameters. The sensory analysis showed that wines produced with pectinase enzyme (product A) were significantly better than those produced without enzymes. The combination of pectolytic enzymes and inactive yeast cells (product B) had a partial positive effect on the anthocyanins, colour parameters and sensory quality during two harvests. The use of specific commercial pectolytic enzymes can be a good and beneficial technological treatment in production of Babić young wine, based on preliminary research. These data confirmed the need to carry out research prior to use in real production, to select and recommend certain commercial enzyme products, according to the particular grape variety and certain wine properties that want to be improved.

Right to be Punished?
Authors: Placani Adriana , Broadhead Stearns
Published: June 2020

It appears at least intuitively appropriate to claim that we owe it to victims to punish those who have wronged them. It also seems plausible to state that we owe it to society to punish those who have violated its norms. However, do we also owe punishment to perpetrators themselves? In other words, do those who commit crimes have a moral right to be punished? This work examines the sustainability of the right to be punished from the standpoint of the two main theories of rights—the will and the interest conceptions. The right to be punished is shown to be largely indefensible on both accounts: on the will theory, the right to be punished conflicts with autonomy, and it can neither be claimed nor waived by a perpetrator; on the interest theory, a perpetrator’s interest in punishment, inasmuch as it exists, is not sufficient to ground a duty on the part of the state.

A PROMISING APPROACH TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE COLON TARGET DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS OF METRONIDAZOLE: DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION
Authors: Bijay Kumar Sahoo  , Sidheswar Prasad Pattajoshi  , Sandhyarani Pattajoshi
Published: June 2020

The aim of present study was to develop colon targeted system for Metronidazole using guar gum and xanthan gum. Tablet matrices containing 10–60% of tablet weight of guar gum (F1–F6) were prepared by direct compression and subjected to in vitro release studies to explore their sustained release in the colon. Various release retarding synthetic and natural polymers, namely, hydrogenated castor oil, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, xanthan gum, and ethyl cellulose, Eudragit RL 100, were incorporated to modify the drug release rate from the guar gum matrix tablets. Matrix tablets were enteric coated with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate as an enteric polymer. Various synthetic and natural polymers were incorporated to F6 to modify the drug release rate. Different 15 matrix tablet formulations (F6–F20) were enteric coated with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate. The in-vitro drug release study was undertaken at 37±0.5°C in 0.1N HCl for 2 h; followed by pH 7.4 phosphate buffer (3h) finally in, simulated colonic fluid pH 6.8 phosphate buffer 20 h. The formulation F6, F13 and F20 showed promising sustained release results having median dissolution time (MDT) values: 8.25, 7.97, and 7.64, respectively. When studies were continued in colonic fluids, matrix tablets released almost 100% drug. whereas, Metronidazole enteric  formulations did not release drug in stomach and small intestine, but delivered drug to the colon resulting in slow absorption of the drug and making drug available for local action in the colon.

Authors: BERKAY Gözde , ERDEN Seçkin
Published: June 2020

Enhancement of electrical properties of carbon fiber reinforced (CFR) epoxy matrix composites was aimed by incorporating varying amounts (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, and 15 wt% -percentage by weight) of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) into the resin. Besides, within these CNP percentages, carbon nanotube (CNT) to graphene oxide (GO) composition ratio was also changed (100:0, 80:20, 50:50, 20:80, and 0:100) in order to investigate the synergy between these two type of CNPs. Carbon/epoxy composites were produced via prepregging technique, followed by compression molding method. The change in electrical conductivity of the composites was examined in three directions: Fiber direction, transverse direction, and through-thickness direction. Additionally, mechanical property investigation was carried out by determining the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of composites by conducting short beam shear tests (SBS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were performed for morphology investigation and element characterization of the CNP surfaces. The results revealed up to 5.8, 217, and 34 fold increases in conductivity values in fiber, transverse, and thickness directions, respectively, when compared to that of the neat composite. Also, approximately twofold ILSS value was reached by CNP addition.

La importancia de la investigación radica en que se asume el proyecto de aula como un proceso, completo, intencional y consciente (Rincón, 2012), en donde el estudiante como actor principal, aprende a partir de la formulación de problemas que articulan las áreas disciplinares de conocimiento de su plan curricular y porque además, explora las diferentes concepciones que sobre los proyectos de aula se han esgrimido para enfatizar en un modelo que se adecue a las necesidades de los Programas de Contaduría Pública. Los resultados del trabajo muestran que la estrategia de articular los trabajos de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) realizados por los estudiantes al proyecto de aula, propicia la aprehensión de conocimientos en los estudiantes y la generación de producción intelectual de los docentes.

A Study on the Efficiency and Stability of Different Categories of Banks in Malaysia
Authors: Sulong Zunaidah , Yahya Mohamed Hisham , Salleh Zanariah
Published: June 2020

This paper aims to gain new insights on efficiency and stability in a dual banking system. It evaluates the efficiency level and stability performance of two types of bank operating in Malaysia, i.e. conventional and Islamic, between 2012 to 2017. The data was extracted from Central Bank of Malaysia (BNM) and annual reports of individual banks. Z-score and data envelopment analysis (DEA) were employed to evaluate bank efficiency and stability, respectively. T-test and panel data regression were used in determining the disparity in stability performance. Interestingly, the results reveal different impacts of efficiency and stability on both types of banking system. It is found that conventional banks are less likely to experience bankruptcy and have better financial health. The Islamic banks, however, are found to be inefficient and more unstable compared to conventional banks. The results suggest that Islamic banks need to capitalize the effect of leverage, cost and production efficiency and economies of scale.
The Waqf Integrated Financial Instrument of Pension Model in Malaysian Social Security: A Conceptual Proposition
Authors: Ubaidillah Muhammad , Ismail Mohd Adib , Mohd Noor Mohd Ali
Published: June 2020

The ageing population trend is a problem for almost all countries in the world. In Malaysia, the issue is exacerbated by insufficient employee savings to face retirement. The majority of Malaysian employees have savings no more other than mandatory savings of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) account. On the other hand, waqf has many roles in the country’s economic development as it helps to improve welfare of the community. This paper aims to connect the gap between pension and waqf issues through a new proposed Waqf Based Pension Model. This study uses descriptive analysis to propose a Waqf Based Pension Model. This study employs library research approach to collect secondary data from journal articles, books, reports, and websites that contain existing pension schemes and waqf. This new model improves weaknesses in the existing pension scheme using annuity-based calculations. This study finds that productive waqf assets may be used to generate greater profits. In addition, waqf funds are then allocated to build the infrastructure needed by the community such as health services, education, housing, transportation and religious facilities. The new Waqf Based Pension Model is expected to be supported and applied by the government and the community.
The Economic Ethics of Arthur Fridolin Utz
Authors: Baruchello Giorgio
Published: June 2020

The present essay offers a detailed, reasoned synopsis and a brief discussion of the 1994 book Economic Ethics, written by the German-Swiss social philosopher Arthur Fridolin Utz (1908-2001). Utz is known chiefly in German-speaking theological circles and in Catholic ones in particular. He is also known in those of southern Europe where, to date, only a few of his many books have been translated into Spanish, French and Italian. Utz’s research deserves attention, both for its inherent value and in connection with Peter Koslowski’s reflections on economic ethics, about which Jacob Dahl Rendtorff has recently reported to our NSU research group. Thus, this essay is a spin-off of Jacob’s own foray into economic ethics and an integration of the same, for it deals with a different, well-established approach. Equally, it is an attempt at bringing to the attention of Nordic scholars, especially in the human and social sciences, the work of a thinker that is still hardly known in my adoptive country, Iceland, as well as in Scandinavia. Finally, given the absence of English-language translations and comprehensive studies of Utz’s books, it is also a useful reference work for Anglophone academia at large.
The Fourth Age of Political Communication: Democratic decay or the rise of phronetic political communication?
Authors: Aagaard Peter
Published: June 2020

The ‘fourth age’ of political communication is emerging. In the fourth age the logics of media and digitization shapes the public sphere, because algorithms and polarized drama increasingly determine what we become aware of in digital and mass media. The result may very well be a less informed public sphere. The emerging class of policy professionals has the opportunity to mix the logics of mediatization and digitization. While such a mix may very well lead to democratic decay, based on elitism, it may also hold fruitful potentials for a more democratic and ethical type of political communication, called phronetic political communication.
