Authors: Giesbrecht Gerald , van de Wouw Marcel , Rioux Charlie , Lai Pui Yee , King Suzanne , Tomfohr-Madsen Lianne , Lebel Catherine
Published: February 2023

Objective: Our primary objective was to determine whether pre-existing vulnerabilities and pandemic-related hardship resulted in cumulative (i.e., additive) versus compounding (i.e., multiplicative) effects on psychological distress in pregnant individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. A secondary objective was to determine whether perceived social support and/or receipt of government financial aid buffered the effects of pandemic-related hardship on psychological distress.Method: Data are from a prospective pregnancy cohort study, the Pregnancy During the COVID-19 Pandemic study (PdP). This cross-sectional report is based upon the initial survey collected at recruitment between April 5, 2020 and April 30, 2021. Logistic regression was used to evaluate our objectives.Results: The data provide substantial evidence supporting a cumulative (additive) relationship between pandemic-related hardship and pre-existing vulnerabilities in relation to psychological distress. There was no evidence to support compounding (multiplicative) effects. Likewise, the buffering effect of social support was additive but not multiplicative. Government financial aid did not buffer the effects of objective hardship on psychological distress. Conclusion: Pre-pandemic vulnerability and pandemic-related hardship had cumulative effects on psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adequate and equitable responses to pandemics and disasters may require more intensive supports for those with multiple vulnerabilities.
Augmented Cognition: Life as we don't know it
Authors: Hipólito Inês
Published: February 2023

This paper proposes a framework for comprehending the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as Augmented Cognition (AugCog). AugCog is viewed as an emergent bio-cultural process, reflecting AI's design, implementation, and usage. Section 1 establishes smart societies as a complex system. Section 2 defends that the development of AI is analogous to the biological process of niche construction. Section 3 defines AI as a socioculturally embodied expansion by which AI is shaped by and shapes human experience, resulting in various forms of AugCog. Section 4 highlights AugCog in mixed realities such as social media, neurotechnology, and smart environments, illustrating its emergence from multiscale and interdependent sociocultural perspectives. AugCog's perspective situates the human species in the state space of evolution, signifying our existence as a species and as embodied individuals.
#DisruptJMM: Themes of online social justice advocacy and community building in STEM
Authors: Roca Rachel , Eaton Carrie Diaz , Lewis Drew , Hibdon Joseph E. , Marshall Stefanie
Published: February 2023

In 2019, #DisruptJMM, a Twitter hashtag, began circulating after an Inclusion/Exclusion blog by Dr. Piper H pointing to the need to make commonplace conversations about human suffering in the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM). While the #DisruptJMM hashtag has been used since 2019, the vast majority of use was in the JMM 2020 meetings. Twitter hashtags are used by activists to push forward conversations, join communities around a single idea, and create change. In this article, we draw on frameworks from community building seen in other equity and inclusion advocacy hashtags such as #GirlsLikeUs (Jackson et al., 2018) to qualitatively code and analyze tweets which used the #DisruptJMM hashtag. This analysis gives us a glimpse into the evolving conversations on social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in the mathematical community. We see an emergence of community around recentering humanity in mathematics. This community supported each other's efforts, reflected on who is represented, and amplified discussions of power and privilege with a particular emphasis on bringing visibility to colonialism and sexual harrassment.
Ein Jahr Angriffskrieg: Anhaltend große Solidarität mit ukrainischen Geflüchteten und hohe Unterstützung für Sanktionen gegen Russland
Authors: Dollmann Jörg , Jacobsen Jannes , Mayer Sabrina Jasmin
Published: February 2023

Geflüchtete aus der Ukraine wurden direkt nach Beginn des russischen Angriffskrieges Ende Februar 2022 in vielen europäischen Ländern mit überwältigender Solidarität empfangen, auch in Deutschland. Hat sich die Haltung der Menschen seitdem verändert? In diesem DeZIM.insights Working Paper analysieren wir die Unterstützungsbereitschaft im ersten Jahr nach Kriegsbeginn.Hierzu greifen wir auf Daten des DeZIM.panels zurück und untersuchen, wie sich die Solidarität in den Bereichen freiwilliges Engagement, Spendenbereitschaft sowie Bereitschaft, Geflüchtete im eigenen Zuhause aufzunehmen, zwischen März 2022 und Januar 2023 entwickelt hat. Unsere Befunde belegen, dass die Bereitschaft weiterhin hoch ist, Geflüchtete aus der Ukraine auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise zu unterstützen. Von März bis Juli 2022 beobachten wir eine moderate Abnahme, die sich jedoch von Juli 2022 bis Januar 2023 nicht fortsetzt.Überdies stellen wir fest, dass die Menschen in Deutschland schärfere Sanktionen im Januar 2023 außerordentlich deutlich unterstützten – selbst, wenn sie zu finanziellen Belastungen führen würden. Unsere Daten deuten folglich in keiner Weise darauf hin, dass die Stimmung gegenüber ukrainischen Geflüchteten gekippt sei oder dass sich ein solcher Kipppunkt unmittelbar abzeichnet.
Linking Individual and Collective Social Capital: Operationalization, Association, and Sociodemographic Heterogeneity
Authors: Bendeck Shawna , Hastings Orestes P
Published: February 2023

Despite the ubiquity of “social capital” in sociological research, this measure has broadly been conceptualized as both an individual and collective level measure. We explore the link between these two levels within the United States using recently-constructed scales of state and county-level social capital linked to the geocoded 2000-2018 General Social Survey. Collective social capital is associated with greater individual-level trust and voting. However, heterogeneity analysis reveals substantial differences by race/ethnicity, education, sex, and marital status. Moreover, there is heterogeneity for individual-level confidence in institutions and social interaction frequency, despite no overall relationship between those outcomes and collective social capital. Only some of our results align with existing dimensions of stratification, showing the importance of being clear about the operationalization and level of social capital being studied and highlighting how the “advantages” of collective social capital may not extend broadly to all the members of the collective.
Does Democratic Backsliding Depend on the Policy Issue? Evidence from a Conjoint Experiment
Authors: Christensen Henrik Serup , Saikkonen Inga
Published: February 2023

Citizens in established democracies have been shown to make trade-offs between political goals and democratic principles. Yet we know less about which policy issues citizens are more likely to prioritize over democratic norms. This is particularly important in European multiparty systems where issue-based voting has become salient. We hypothesize that socio-cultural issues are more likely to generate trade-offs between issue congruence and democratic principles than ‘left-right’ issues, and that these effects are asymmetrical between proponents and opponents of an issue. We test these hypotheses with evidence from a pre-registered conjoint experiment (n=2406) from Finland. We find strong evidence that citizens are willing to prioritize issue positions over democratic principles. However, contrary to our expectations, these effects are similar when it comes to socio-cultural policy issues and the more established ‘left-right’ issues, nor are the effects asymmetrical between opponents and proponents of various policies.

Relevance of Social Security Allowance in Nepal
Authors: Malakar Indra Mali
Published: February 2023

This study aims at assessing the relevance of social security allowance in Nepal among the beneficiaries of Kirtipur Municipality, Kathmandu district. With purposive selection of Kirtipur Municipality, a community based cross sectional study was carried out among old age allowance beneficiaries of Kirtipur Municipality. Most of the target people (86.1% male and 85.6% female) of social security allowance have been primarily using allowance money for basic personal needs for buying food/clothes/vegetables and though the government's initiatives have had the direct bearing on the reduction of the household economic poverty and vulnerability of the beneficiaries, it seems insufficient enough to maintain the target people’s life as majority of them (80.4%) reported the inadequacy of the allowance distributed. This was evidenced by chi-square test also. The study revealed that there is needed to make the institutional efforts within the legal framework to make members of the families responsible for the support of senior citizens in their ripe old age. The government needs to design and implement livelihoods programs for physically capable senior citizens living below poverty line which would also use their skill and knowledge and contribute to reduce household poverty.

Teacher Education and Issues of Professional Development for Quality and Creativity of Teachers
Authors: Paudel Janardan
Published: February 2023

This article aims to show some of the necessary viewpoints needed in teacher education programme and teachers themselves to promote quality and creativity of teachers. Teachers should be known as the main backbone of a country. It is known that all vertebrate animals or creatures are stronger physically than the non-vertebrates. In the same way, without teachers with high quality a community cannot develop effectively. If communities are developed effectively, it means, a country is developed in a prosperous way. To develop a country today, teachers need to think of teacher education as professional development and in the same way, a country needs to manage. Our ancient teachers have transformed primitive life into the condition as we see today. Teachers should develop strong confidence within themselves to teach. Teachers should have quality and creativity in teaching and so should be the goal of teacher education. Teaching is the type of profession which should be universally acknowledged. A teacher would be like a spiritual being in the past and the same quality should be maintained at present, for framing the knowledge in students so that the students will be responsible to frame the shape of development of a country. For such type of situation, teacher education should be constructed for teachers' professional development relating to increase their critical thinking skills. If a teacher is perfect in all respects, the students will learn properly. Teacher education must not be thought simply as a process of only obtaining a job, but it should be looked in a broader sense with the philosophy of the universe and the nature as well as a teacher as a source of providing the truth. Only a teacher with quality can provide the facts. For this capacity, professional development and creativity are necessary skills. The methodology of this study is based on document analysis and experience of the author.

Body Politics in Beauty Pageants: A Study of Miss Nepal Discourse
Authors: Shrestha Tara Lal
Published: February 2023

The paper attempts to explore how the female body is often controlled by the power politics, which is discussed with reference to the Miss Nepal beauty pageant. The pageant being organized since 1994 has drawn not only ideological and ethical debate, but it has also generated street demonstrations including violent confrontations since then. Though women’s wings of various politico-cultural organizations tried to stop it by organizing various protest movements, multiple forms of regional and community-based beauty pageants are proliferating in Nepal. This study primarily tries to observe the forms of body politics that exist in Miss Nepal beauty contests from the perspective of indigenous aesthetics. Secondly, it analyzes how the female body is tied with the power politics in the name of beauty pageants from the Gramscian notion of ‘hegemony’ and Ngugi wa Thiongo’s ‘decolonizing the mind’. Finally, as indigenous aesthetics is an extensive domain, this paper recommends some ways to deal with the Miss Nepal beauty pageant issues, especially with reference to the indigenous Newa: women aesthetics.
The ‘Inevitable’ Women: Studying Female Presence in War Spaces through Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried
Authors: Barkha
Published: February 2023

The literature of war exposes the gender binaries and stereotypes that are reinforced by war. The Vietnam War is one of the most popular wars in American history; it is the first war televised live. The reason for its popularity lies in its project of ‘re-masculinizing’ America. With the Cold War and the Anti-War protests all over the country, America used the gender norms to justify the war. Of its multi-layered gender role enforcement, first it projects itself as the masculine ‘saviour’ who is going to fight for democracy and rights of a ‘feminized’ Asian country; second, its use of misogynistic slangs to create a homo-social bond among men and alienate women; but can the presence of women be omitted? In my paper I shall do a close textual analysis of The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien to show how he explores the female presence in the Vietnam War, as well as how the novel is a critique of the war literature of the time that attempts to reinforce the gender binaries.
Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Military: An Overview
Authors: Gaire Utsav Sharma
Published: February 2023

Modern-day research and innovation have expedited the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Its impacts on society, economy, and power are ever-increasing. This paper highlights the remarkable advancements in the entire ecosystem of AI-associated technologies comprising machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, robotics, brain-machine interface, etc., and their innovative usage in pioneering military technologies/strategies. This paper scrutinizes the unprecedented contingencies and challenges of AI application on three core facets of future defence, i.e., Autonomous Weaponry and Warfare, Intelligence, and National Security. Several powers in the “geopolitical chessboard” have already begun to exploit AI for military applications like intelligence analysis, surveillance, autonomous weaponry, reconnaissance, and logistics. This will eventually propel AI to be the new dimension of military strength evaluation and a pivotal entity for national security. This paper predicts the future of military applications, their constraints and challenges, and also recommends the steps to be pursued by technologically fragile countries like Nepal to acclimatize with these AI-induced transformations. The research will follow a qualitative methodology to analyse AI development and its military incorporation, challenges, and prospects. The review of the published articles, opinions, commentaries, and findings worldwide on AI-driven innovations underscores the results. In sum, the research aims to discuss the future of military applications in light of the burgeoning ecosystem of AI.
Relationship between Defense Expenditure and Economic Growth in Nepal
Authors: Poudel Omkar
Published: February 2023

This research study investigates the impact of defense expenditure (DE) and export on Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) of Nepal. The RGDP is the dependent variable and defense expenditure and export are the independent variables. Data since 1974 to 2020 are taken from secondary sources of Nepal Rastra Bank, ministry of finance to find the relationship between them. Augmented Dickey- Fuller Test is run to test stationary condition in the variables. The Vector Error Correction Method (VECM) coefficient is significant and positive. There is no evidence that economic growth and the independent variables have a long-run relationship but there is short-run causality running from DE to RGDP and export to RGDP.The result of Granger Causality Test shows there exists unidirectional relationship between RGDP and DE. Similarly, there exists unidirectional relationship between RGDP and export but there is no relationship between DE and Export. Results confirm the variables are the determinants of economic growth in Nepal. So policy makers should consider on these variables for economic growth of the country.
American Engagement with Nepal: Concerns of China and India
Authors: Lamichhane Dron Prasad
Published: February 2023

How did the United States of America’s active engagement with Nepal become a strategic concern for our neighbors? The USA’s Nepal policy is changing because the new world order appears to be multipolar consonantly; it is believed to be bipolar between the United States and China strategically. The US strategic entry into Nepal and the intense rivalry over the MCC and BRI projects are a reflection of these two countries' growing competition in world politics. It put Nepal at the center of strategic calculations. At the other end, China and India believe that achieving regional and global hegemony requires first establishing their own regional supremacy. That is why they are considering strategic space in South Asia and Nepal. Furthermore, India and U.S. also have strategic alliances in the Indo-Pacific strategic and QUAD. Both of them perceive China as a threat in the Indo-Pacific region. In this tri-lateral rivalry during the global power transition, Nepal may become a geopolitical flash point, serving the strategic interests of those powers. In this scenario, the significance of Nepal's nonalignment foreign policy will be examined through a comparison of Ukraine's and Nepal's geopolitical locations. Nepal shares borders with two Asian behemoths, much like Ukraine does with NATO countries and Russia. The Ukrainian crisis stems from both domestic and foreign policy failures. Politicians are frequently divided into pro-Russian and pro-Western sides, and they fail to recognize their powerful neighbor's sensitivity. In this study, the qualitative method has been used, and secondary data was collected from reliable books, journal articles, and some authentic websites. Explorative research techniques have been used for this research.
Conceptualization and critical dimensions of inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems
Authors: Hameed Kamran , Naveed Yazdani  , Khuram Shahzad
Published: February 2023

While the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems has famously been capturing the holistic view of entrepreneurial development, the question of how entrepreneurial ecosystems can specifically foster inclusiveness and advance toward sustainable development goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations is still an underexplored area of research. Despite the fact that scholars have shown a growing interest in defining and measuring entrepreneurial ecosystems, this is still a neglected area of research in the context of marginalized communities. Previously the effectiveness of entrepreneurial ecosystems has largely been focused on aligning skills with opportunities, providing equal accessibility to available geographical resources, and supporting social networks with favourable policies. However, few studies explain social, economic and geographical issues faced by marginalized communities within the debate of entrepreneurial ecosystem. By critically analyzing the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems, this paper conceptualizes the new construct of inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems and their related dimensions. At the interface research, scholars will create unique positioning by using theoretical advancement. Moreover, policy-makers could align their strategic goals with the purposed inclusive dimensions that transform the socio-economic conditions of marginalized communities.
Controls on East Shale Basin reservoir distribution within the Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation, Western Canada Sedimentary Basin
Authors: Thorson Anna M. , Atchley Stacy C. , Rau Elisabeth G. , Yeates David W.
Published: February 2023

The Duvernay Formation accumulated as an organic-rich basinal mudrock concurrent with shallow marine platform carbonates of the Leduc and Grosmont formations. Historically classified as a major source rock to conventional hydrocarbon production, the Duvernay evolved into an unconventional shale reservoir across Alberta, Canada much like other source rock intervals worldwide. Distributions of the Duvernay Formation are partitioned into the West and East Shale basins by a narrow, linear Leduc Formation reef complex known as the Rimbey-Meadowbrook trend. Since 2011, development has focused on the West Shale Basin, but thermal maturity trends suggest the potential for expanded shale reservoir development within the southern portion of the East Shale Basin. This study characterizes sedimentologic and stratigraphic controls on Duvernay reservoir potential to identify development “sweet spots” within the East Shale Basin. Duvernay geologic attributes mapped within this study include: oil thermal maturity, thick restricted basin facies association occurrence (at least 5-10m thick), high average TOC values (greater than 2.0 wt.%), and high net carbonate thickness (greater than 40m). The geologic attributes are predictive of production potential within horizontal wells, and the distribution of their co-occurrence suggests the potential for expanded development within the southern portion of the East Shale Basin.

Salah satu upaya mempercepat penanggulangan kemiskinan ialah dengan menerapkan Program Keluarga Harapan. Program Kekuarga Harapan adalah program bantuan sosial bersyarat yang diberikan kepada keluarga miskin yang berjuang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dampak dan faktor penghambat Ekonomi Program Keluarga Harapan di Kecamatan Ungar Kabupaten Karimun. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan menggunakan sumber data primer dan sekunder, serta pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Dampak Ekonomi Program Keluarga Harapan di Kecamatan Ungar belum terdapat perubahan yang maksimal walaupun Program Keluarga Harapan ini berdampak positif bagi penerima PKH dalam membantu meringankan kebutuhan hidup dan mengurangi beban. Namun program PKH ini mampu membuat perubahan perekonomian yang sedikit maju terbukti dengan data bahwasanya ada 17 penerima PKH yang mengalami perubahan sebelum dan sesudah mendapatkan bantuan sedangkan 154 penerima lainya masih dalam kondisi perbaikan ekonomi. Di sisi lain, Program PKH ini berdampak negatif yaitu masyarakat masih ada yang ketergantungan oleh bantuan pemerintah. Faktor penghambat dari Program Keluarga Harapan ialah terdapat data yang belum akurat/tidak tepat sasaran dikarenakan masih terdapat masyarakat miskin yang belum mendapatkan bantuan pemerintah.

Financing public spending on health is a challenge in an aging society. One option may be the Public-Private Partnership (PPP), which carries out long-term initiatives of great social importance. Health, very relevant to society, integrates Brazilian public accounts and is supported by the Unified Health System – SUS. The growing and significant aging of the population has been demanding more health services, with an impact on the SUS. The balance of the country's finances reinforces the need to resolve the public deficit, a situation that has afflicted Brazil for decades. The resumption of tax benefits, other financing opportunities and the reduction of tax expenditures are possible advantages of adopting PPPs, since the internalization of the proposal can be a potential gain, as it will allow investment to be deconcentrated from serving the poorest cities. populous to places less favored by the existing health network.

Authors: Roma María Cecilia
Published: February 2023

El artículo versa sobre las diferentes teorías que explican las distorsiones de la memoria, intencionales o no, especialmente en niños. Se analizan los diferentes tipos de preguntas que posibilitan la obtención de información y las particularidades de los entrevistadores para facilitar esta recuperación o influenciar las respuestas.  El abordaje es de revisión sistemática de artículos científicos y de bibliografía de autores referentes al tema. Se tuvieron en cuenta artículos que incluían estudios empíricos y teóricos relevantes para el objeto específico de estudio. Se concluye que todavía es necesario indagar más profundamente acerca de cómo se produce la inoculación de recuerdos o los errores de memoria propios de los sujetos. Hasta el momento se identifican que las distorsiones pueden ser internas o promovidas por el ambiente externo. La optimización de técnicas de entrevistas y de intervención pueden minimizar el impacto de errores -intencionales o no- de la memoria.
