Assessing Non-linear Influences of Urban Layout on Driving Travel Distance: A Mumbai Case Study
Authors: Shkera Ali , Patankar Vaishali
Published: November 2024

Introduction

This study investigates the impact of built environment factors on travel behavior in Mumbai, India, focusing on the non-linear effects on driving distances. The rapid urbanization and complex urban of Mumbai constitute present challenges for sustainable transportation, necessitating a deeper understanding of how urban planning influences travel behavior. While demographic factors have often been highlighted in travel studies, this research prioritizes the role of built environment factors.

Materials and Methods

The study utilized Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDT) to analyze household travel survey data from Mumbai, capturing the non-linear relationships between built environment variables and driving distances. Partial dependence plots were used to visualize these effects, and the relative importance of each variable was assessed to identify key determinants of travel behavior.

Results

The analysis identified trip time as the most influential factor in determining driving distances, followed by built environment characteristics, such as proximity to commercial areas and intersection density. Socio-demographic factors were found to have a comparatively low impact. Non-linear relationships were observed, such as the stabilization of driving distances beyond certain thresholds of block density and proximity to bus stops.

Discussion

The findings challenge the traditional emphasis on demographic factors in explaining travel behavior, highlighting the significant role of urban form. The study reveals that specific built environment factors, such as accessibility and connectivity, play a crucial role in shaping driving behavior in a rapidly urbanizing city like Mumbai. These results suggest that urban planning strategies should prioritize these factors to reduce car dependency.

Conclusion

This study underscores the importance of the built environment in influencing travel behavior in Mumbai, particularly in reducing driving distances. The insights gained offer valuable guidance for urban planners and policymakers aiming to promote sustainable mobility in rapidly developing cities. Further research is recommended to validate and expand upon these findings in other urban contexts.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

The internet is widely used across the world and in Sri Lanka for many purposes. Though essential for everyday life there are many negative aspects of internet use. Addiction to the internet is one such problem and identified to exist among the general population and students in other countries. The most common tool used to measure internet addiction is Young’s internet addiction test. The phenomena of internet addiction has not been scientifically studied in Sri Lanka according to our knowledge.

OBJECTIVE

To translate Young’s internet addiction test to Sinhala and validate for use in a Sri Lankan population. Once the questionnaire has been validated to assess the prevalence of internet addiction in a school going population in the Western province of Sri Lanka and identify characteristics of those addicted to the internet.

METHODS

A school based cross sectional analytical study. Students aged 15 to 19 years in the Western province of Sri Lanka were given a self administered questionnaire to obtain demographic details and pattern of internet use as well as Young’s internet addiction test. Data was analyzed by SPSS 23.0

RESULTS

The Sinhala translation of the Internet addiction test showed good reliability and validity and was suitable to use in a Sinhala speaking population in Sri Lanka.

Internet addiction was identified among the study population. 8% of the entire study sample and 12.6% among those using the internet showed features of internet addiction. The majority of cases of internet addiction identified were mild 8.2% followed by moderate internet addiction in 3.6% and only 0.9 % having severe internet addiction. There were no significant demographic or internet use related features identified among those with internet users and those not addicted to the internet.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated that there are students in Sri Lanka who are addicted to the internet. This will possibly impact negatively on their lives at a crucial stage of development and have immediate as well as long term detrimental effects. Therefore students and relevant stakeholders such as parents and educationalists need to be aware of this potential risk of using the internet.

Authors: Prasetyo Gilang Tegar , Sajarwa Sajarwa
Published: November 2024

This study aims to describe the characterizations in the “Bas les masques” and “Délivrance” short stories based on the transitivity process and describe the characterization techniques used in the “Bas les masques” and “Délivrance” short stories. This research uses a descriptive approach with a qualitative method. The data are the clauses explaining characterizations in the short stories “Bas les masques” by Benoît Broyart and “Délivrance” by Jean-Paul Nozière. The data collection of this research is carried out by scrutinizing and note-taking techniques. The data are analyzed using the transitivity theory in Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics and Nurgiyantoro’s character depiction theory. The results of this study indicate that the characterization in these two stories are dominantly described by material process, i.e. 8 clauses (35%) in the “Bas les masques” short story and 9 clauses (39%) in the “Délivrance” short story. The processes that are not found are behavioral process because the characters’ behavior cannot be explained from their own perspective. Regarding the character depiction techniques, the two short stories both use conversation techniques and other character’s reaction techniques. Apart from that, there is also the stream of consciousness technique which is only used in “Bas les masques” short story and the character reaction technique which is only used in “Délivrance” short story. From the results of this research, it can be concluded that transitivity analysis can support the study of characterization in literary works because the character's personality can be represented through their experiences in the story.

Published: November 2024

Machine translation has become an everyday part of society's news consumption patterns. Unfortunately, important news content is poorly mediated by social media, especially on the output of the translation system feature on the site. Therefore, further research is needed on the evaluation of the auto-translate system on social media. This study focuses on the results of linguistic evaluation on the output of social media machine translation in translating news headlines. The data were taken from news coverage by the Reuters channel in the period of September 1st–7th, 2023 and from social media such as Facebook and Twitter. The translation evaluation used linguistic elements consisting of orthography, morphology, lexical, semantic, and syntax. This study found various kinds of linguistic non-equivalence. Orthographic non-equivalence includes punctuation, capitalization, and apostrophes. Morphological non-equivalence in the two systems was found in number concordance, inflection, derivation, and compounding. Lexical errors occur in both systems in the form of no correspondence and missing target words, as well as untranslated words and proper noun. In terms of semantics, both systems had difficulties with polysemy, homonymy, and expression. Finally, syntactic errors occur with missing articles, prepositions, and inappropriate arrangements of syntactic elements.

Authors: Khabibah Shonia Ummu , Gunawan Gunawan
Published: November 2024

This article explores music concerts as popular culture used for the 2024 Election political campaign in Semarang. The background of the article is that music concerts are a form of popular culture that is close to generation Z, which is being used by presidential candidate pairs for the 2024 election as a political tool to attract the sympathy of generation Z because generation Z dominates the voter list for the 2024 election. The focus of this article is on music concerts for political campaigns which was held in Semarang. Data collection in this paper applies qualitative methods. The findings in this paper show that music concerts for political campaigns have become popular culture that suits the character of generation Z. Each pair of candidates tries to attract the votes of generation Z through these music concerts. By bringing the character closer to generation Z, namely choosing bands and singers who are invited as representatives of the values ​​and identity held by generation Z. However, this causes cultural reification because generation Z does invoive to the political goals of the campaign and is more prioritize watching their favorite bands and singers. Thus, efforts to attract the votes of generation Z become ineffective because the political objectives of the campaign are sidelined by the interests of generation Z in seeking entertainment. However, popular culture, politics and generation Z are three things that are interconnected and become an important part of the 2024 political campaign. Music, which previously functioned as entertainment and art, has turned into a political stage for candidates to attract votes from Generation Z.

Authors: Pareek Laxmi , Yadav Vinod Kumar , Tripathi Suman Lata , Yadav Shilpa
Published: November 2024

Prosopis cineraria (P. cineraria), commonly known as Khejri, plays a significant role in enhancing soil health, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. This study investigates the impact of Prosopis cineraria on soil organic carbon (SOC) levels in the context of agroforestry systems in Sardarshahar, Rajasthan. The analysis reveals that the presence of this species positively influences SOC concentrations, contributing to improved soil fertility and structure. The deep root system and high biomass production of P. cineraria facilitate the accumulation of organic matter in the soil, leading to higher carbon sequestration potential compared to non-forested areas. Additionally, the integration of this species into arid agroforestry systems can support sustainable agricultural practices in these challenging environments. This case study highlights the ecological benefits of P. cineraria in maintaining soil health in arid regions and discusses about the dynamics of SOC along seasons and soil depth. The findings advocate the importance of incorporating native tree species like Prosopis cineraria into agroforestry practices to enhance soil organic carbon stocks and promote sustainable land management in Rajasthan and similar arid landscapes.

Notas sobre la geología del área entre Santa Cruz y Ayuquila, Estados de Puebla y Oaxaca
Authors: Ortega-Gutiérrez Fernando
Published: November 2024

El área de este artículo se encuentra en la región de la Mixteca Baja del sur de Puebla y norte de Oaxaca y en ella afloran rocas metamórficas del Paleozoico, sedimentarias marinas y continentales del  Mesozoico y clásticas y volcaniclásticas continentales del Cenozoico. Las rocas paleozoicas se incluyeron en la Formación Acatlán (Fries y Rincón-Orta, 1965), cuya parte inferior consiste de metasedimentos clásticos y rocas verdes y graníticas milonitizadas. Su parte superior está formada por filitas, meta-areniscas y meta-calizas (Formación Tecomate de Rodríguez-Torres, 1970).  Las rocas mesozoicas cubren discordantemente a la Formación Acatlán y fueron cartografiadas en cuatro unidades lito-estratigráficas. La más antigua de éstas, la Formación Tecomazúchil (Jurásico Medio), que contiene flora fósil, consiste en clásticos marinos y continentales. La Caliza Chimeco (Oxfordiano) transicionalmente sobreyace a la unidad anterior, y está cubierta concordanternente por calizas arcillosas y limolitas calcáreas de la Formación Mapache (Kimeridgiano-Portlandiano). La Formación Morelos (Albiano-Cenomaniano inferior) descansa discordantemente sobre la secuencia jurásica y consiste de calizas y calizas dolomíticas fosilíferas. Las rocas continentales terciarias se asignaron a la Formación Huajuapan, que guardan relación discordante con las unidades anteriores y consisten en su parte inferior de conglomerados rojos y en su parte superior de clásticos y voicaniclásticos. Numerosos cuerpos intrusivos, de composición andesítico-dacítica cortan a las formaciones mencionadas; entre ellos destaca, por su expresión topográfica, la Pefia de Ayuquila. Las rocas metamórficas tienen una foliación subvertical dominante de N-S. Las rocas jurásicas forman un anticlinal amplio que buza suavemente hacia el norte. Las rocas cretácicas y terciarias constituyen el flanco oriental de un levantamiento alargado en dirección NW-SE, cortado por una falla normal que yuxtapone hacia el oriente las rocas metamórficas paleozoicas.

Eyeball Cursor Movement using Deep Learning
Authors: Sharmili Telukuntla
Published: November 2024

Since its inception, computers have developed to the point that we may use them wirelessly, remotely, and in a variety of other ways. Nevertheless, these innovations are only for those who are physically fit and without physical disabilities. Other methods are needed to make computers more usable and accessible for those with physical disabilities. We have created a system that uses eyeball movement instead of the traditional manner of pointer movement with a mouse in order to create an environment that is fair to everyone who is capable of it. This will make it easier for those who suffer from physical conditions to use computers, advancing knowledge and technology. In this system, the laptop camera is used to take the pictures, which are then used to recognise the eyeball positions and movements using face indexing, as well as to conduct the actions that a real mouse could carry out using OpenCV. Because there are no pre-installations needed, this project is economical. Those who are paralysed and others with special needs may benefit from this.

Authors: Gawlik Monica , Babchishin Kelly M. , Painchaud Mia
Published: November 2024

In an online sample of adults aged 18 to 30 (n = 2,828), we examined if experiencing sexting coercion victimization was correlated with demographic (e.g., sexual orientation), relationship domain variables (e.g., number and length of relationships), prior victimization, sexuality domain variables (e.g., pornography use), and sexting behaviour (e.g., frequency). Approximately 1 in 5 participants reported being pressured (22%; 620/2,828; Nmen = 125, Nwomen = 495), threatened (5%; 144/2,828; Nmen = 19, Nwomen = 125), or coerced (22%; 629/2,828; Nmen = 127, Nwomen = 502) into sending a sext. Prior victimization, greater mating effort (e.g., multiple partners, infidelity) were unique correlates of experiencing sexting coercion victimization. Alternatively, greater pornography consumption among females was associated with a reduction in the likelihood of experiencing sexting coercion victimization. The study highlights correlates that increase an individual’s susceptibility to coercive sexting. Our findings can inform interventions and future research directions.

Through processes of colonization, American Indians and Alaskan Natives (AI/AN) have faced continuous, ongoing efforts to diminish their unique ethnic identities. Maintaining a robust ethnic identity may shield against harms related to colonization, such as ethnic discrimination. Ethnic discrimination is a psychosocial stressor with implications for the reactivity of our main stress axis, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. However, whether ethnic identification buffers against ethnic discrimination remains unclear. The current study examined the stress-buffering effects of two facets of ethnic identification – exploration and commitment – on HPA reactivity in 303 urban-dwelling AI/AN using samples of salivary cortisol collected throughout a discrimination-based stressor task. Building on the rejection-identification hypothesis and other related theories, we hypothesized that ethnic identity exploration will predict greater HPA axis reactivity and commitment will predict lesser HPA axis reactivity. Findings revealed that exploration and commitment were both positively related to stress levels, contrary to expectations that commitment would weaken the relationship between discrimination and stress. Results align with broader findings suggesting ethnic identity can intensify stress responses to discrimination. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of discrimination-related stress and ethnic identification as they relate to ongoing health disparities and challenges experienced by AI/AN communities.
Can Evidence of Trauma, Diversity, and Inclusivity Training Be Reliably Detected in Probation and Parole Officer Case Notes?: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Graham Sydney , Coady Ellen , Brown Shelley L.
Published: November 2024

This study investigated the detectability of trauma, diversity, and inclusivity (TDI) training in probation and parole officer (PPO) case notes following the implementation of the Made-in-Ontario Core Correctional Practices (CCP) Model of Community Supervision. Adherence to TDI principles pre- and post-CCP training was examined and interrater scores were calculated to measure reliability. Case notes from five PPOs, covering 45 clients, were analyzed pre-training (n = 30) and post-training (n = 15).  Results suggested that after training, officers trended towards using more TDI skills and principles over the course of supervision, but effect sizes were small. Greater inter-rater reliability was observed for TDI skills than for TDI principles. However, challenges in coding adherence to general TDI principles were noted. Implications include the need for larger sample studies and refined coding manuals to improve reliability.
Emotions and Goal Progress: A Linguistic Analysis of Goal Narratives and its Relation To Goal Progress
Authors: Kadri Abida , Milyavskaya Marina
Published: November 2024

Individuals express a wide range of emotions in their writing beyond positive and negative emotions. In the current study, we set out to examine how positive, negative, and epistemic (curiosity and anxiety) emotions are related to individual goal progress. Instead of relying solely on self-reported emotions, we employed an indirect qualitative analysis using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) to examine student goal narratives (N = 201) and self-reported goal progress. Our results suggest that students use various emotions when describing their goals, especially positive emotions and epistemic curiosity. Despite the frequent use, we found no statistical association between emotions and progress toward achieving goals. In order to gain a realistic insight into how multiple emotions are utilized in goal narratives and goal progress, we suggest that future research use a more sophisticated method, such as a longitudinal study or combination of self-report, human coders and LIWC.
Suicidal Crisis Negotiations: An Investigation of Situational Characteristics, Hooks and Triggers
Authors: Hay Chantelle , Bennell Craig
Published: November 2024

Crisis negotiation teams have previously been described as “gatekeepers” to suicidal individuals, with research showing that these are amongst the most common calls negotiators attend to. Despite this, the situational features of these calls and the communicative dynamics that may lead to the safe resolution of suicidal crises, remain poorly understood. Using a mixed method approach, situational characteristics across four suicidal incident types were examined, and “hooks” and “triggers” that were common in each incident type were identified. The results revealed some consistencies across incident types regarding incident location, and the mental health and substance use histories of subjects. Inconsistencies were observed for communication method used, weapons involved, and resolution details. Numerous hooks and triggers were identified for each incident type. The findings increase our understanding of suicidal crises and have implications for negotiator training (e.g., the features of actual suicidal incidents can inform the content of scenario-based training).
What do Emotions Sound Like? Affective Congruence of Sounds and Meaning
Authors: Parajuli Pragati , Sidhu David M.
Published: November 2024

This study focused on iconicity, which is a similarity between the form (e.g., sound) and meaning of a word. Here, we explored the impact of emotional iconicity; in particular, how exciting versus calming the sound and meaning of a word are. Participants were presented with affectively congruent (e.g., exciting sound, exciting meaning; chaotic) or incongruent (e.g., exciting sound, calming meaning; lily) words to categorize as quickly as possible. They then had their memory for these words tested. Results showed that affectively congruent words were responded to more accurately and were more likely to be recalled compared to incongruent words. These results show that affective iconicity has an impact in language processing and memory.

Published: November 2024

The present study explored awareness of knowledge change across time in 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds, and the potential contribution of metacognition and theory of mind to this understanding. Participants’ appreciation of knowledge was measured through the self-knowledge task, metacognition was assessed through the partial-exposure task, and theory of mind was evaluated on Wellman and Liu’s (2004) Theory of Mind scale. I hypothesized that children’s metacognitive awareness and theory of mind would each independently contribute to children’s ability to recognize that their past knowledge is less developed than their current knowledge. Analyses revealed that theory of mind appears to be a better predictor than metacognition for children’s understanding that their knowledge changes over time. Results also showed that performance on all 3 skills improved as age increased. My findings suggest that younger children are still developing the cognitive processes required to fully appreciate that their current knowledge differs from their past knowledge.
Detecting Probation and Parole Officer Adherence to the Made-in-Ontario CCP Model of Community Supervision
Authors: Kealey Saoirse , Coady Ellen , Brown Shelley L
Published: November 2024

The current study aims to assess probation and parole officers' (PPOs) adherence to the Made-in-Ontario Core Correctional Practice (CCP) model of community supervision with justice-impacted people. Case notes from 5 PPOs (for 45 clients) were coded to examine if evidence of CCP strategies used during PPO and client interactions could be reliably detected in PPO case notes. Preliminary findings indicate promising evidence for the detection of CCP strategies within case notes. Inter-rater reliability was also found to be high. Future considerations include expanding the study to a larger sample, refining the coding manual, and examining potential covariates. These insights contribute to understanding the integration and effectiveness of CCP practices into community supervision settings.
Determinants of Indonesia's Plantation Commodities Trade Flows with ASEAN: Insights from a Gravity Model Approach
Authors: Yafi Muhammad Ali , Adyanti Amanda Sekar
Published: November 2024

The trade relationship between Indonesia and ASEAN countries in plantation products exhibits fluctuations in export and import activities. This study aims to identify the factors influencing Indonesia’s Plantation Commodities Trade Flows with ASEAN countries. The research utilizes secondary data from eight ASEAN countries-Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, and the Philippines-over a 15-year period (2008–2022). A panel data regression analysis, based on the Gravity Model, was conducted to achieve the research objectives. The variables examined include Indonesia’s Plantation Commodities Trade Flows, Indonesia's GDP, partner countries' GDP, exchange rates, economic distance, population, and inflation. The analysis revealed that fluctuations in Indonesia’s Plantation Commodities Trade Flows are driven by variations in export and import values. The regression results identified Indonesia's GDP, partner countries' GDP, economic distance, and exchange rates as significant factors affecting trade flows, while population and inflation had no significant impact.
