The development of financial technology is growing rapidly along with the development of technological discoveries. Cryptocurrency is one of the objects of financial technology progress. However, often financial and economic developments cannot be swallowed whole by Muslims. This is because there are laws that regulate economics in Islam. One of the laws that must be discussed is related to Cryptocurrency and Islamic law regarding the value of the new currency. Cryptocurrency is considered to have a fluctuating or uncertain value so that there may be economic practices that are contrary to the benefit of the people. One of the economic practices that this Cryptocurrency can implement is sustainable investment. For this reason, researchers are interested in knowing the relevance and legal status or legitimacy of Cryptocurrency as a sustainable investment through Islamic economic principles. Researchers used descriptive qualitative research methods based on previous research. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that crypto assets, both conventional and sharia, cannot yet become sustainable investment assets. Because judging from the data that has been presented, it shows that crypto investments have high fluctuations and volatility. This causes the high risk of crypto assets in investment even though there is the possibility of high profits too.

Authors: Koç Ahmet Ali , Bayaner Ahmet , Koç Gülçin
Published: September 2024

Over last two decades, the research and evaluation paradigm in agri-food sector has shifted towards comprehensive perspective called sustainable food system. The heavy pressure on earth bio-capacity and massive environmental externalities, biodiversity loss, climate change impacts on agricultural supply and food security, food safety and health issues, and consumers’ cultural concern are major factors induced to change the perspective from agri-food supply chain to sustainable food system. Although the sustainable food system perspective has become important paradigm in researches and impact evaluation studies on agri-food system recently, the studies at this perspective are missing in Türkiye. The aim of this study is to fulfil this gap in literature and provide evidences for policy makers. This study evaluates the food system and agri-food policies in Türkiye consisting of the state of the agri-food sector, historical evaluation of agri-foo policy transform, climate change policies and environment, rural development measures, agri-food policy impact studies, and the performance level of sustainable food system indicators. Türkiye initiated the process of transformation of food systems in 2019 with an aim “to create sustainable, resilient and equitable food systems”. National Program for Agricultural Support Policy is announced each year as a Presidency Decision. The scope of agricultural support measures and its relative importance in GDP has not considerable changed much for over three decades. Nevertheless, it has been observed a positive development in most of the sustainable food system indicators. However, especially food and nutrition indicators have not considerable improved and it has been even worsened in some subcategories during the last decade. Although national policy agenda and documents cover the transition towards sustainable food system, monitoring-evaluation system and assessment of national agri-food policies considering sustainability dimension data and indicators is lacking.
Analysis of the Moroccan agri-food system through national accounting “2015 Social Accounting Matrix”: The role of the wheat sector in the agri-food complex
Authors: Harbouze Rachid , Elame Fouad , Lahrech Mohamed Taha
Published: September 2024

This paper evaluates the role of wheat in Moroccan agriculture. A social accounting matrix for 2015 disaggregates soft and durum wheat, focusing on agriculture and the agri-food industry. Results show that soft and durum wheat account for 19% of agricultural product resources. Their production contributes 21% to agricultural valueadded, represents 3% of national value-added, generates 16% of agricultural wages, and 17% of agricultural capital. The industrial processing of these wheats contributes only 5% of the total value-added in the agri-food industry, generating 4.3% of labor and 5% of capital in this sector. Multiplier effects indicate that soft and durum wheat impact production activities by 2.66 and 2.6, respectively. An additional 1% injection would lead to an 84% increase in soft wheat production, a 16% rise in value-added, and a 26% increase in household income. For durum wheat, production would rise by 75%, value-added by 13%, and household income by 22%. Comparing the multiplier effects of wheat processing to production activities, the processing industry has a greater impact on production, value-added, and household income. These findings underscore the significant role of wheat in Morocco’s agricultural and agri-food sectors, highlighting its economic and social importance. The multiplier effects suggest strategic investments and policy decisions could optimize benefits from wheat production and processing activities.

Authors: Thabet Chockri
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the evolution and future perspectives of agricultural policies in Tunisia, focusing on their role in enhancing food security. The agricultural sector, while contributing around 9% to GDP and employing 16% of the active population, faces numerous challenges including water scarcity, climate change, and economic pressures from international trade. The study identifies that despite economic diversification, agriculture remains crucial for rural livelihoods and food security. Also, the paper critiques existing policies, particularly the inefficiencies in subsidies and the complexity of administrative procedures, which disadvantage small farmers. The analysis underscores the need for policy reforms aimed at improving farmers’ incomes, reducing policy costs, and enhancing efficiency. Recommendations include developing infrastructure, promoting modern agricultural technologies, and adjusting trade policies to better balance export promotion with import substitution. The study concludes that a dynamic and transparent agricultural policy, responsive to international changes and inclusive of all farmer categories, is essential for sustainable agricultural development and food security in Tunisia.

Fruit and vegetables play a crucial role in ensuring food and nutrition security, and developing more sustainable value chains in agriculture and the agri-food sector. To support a greater supply of fruit and vegetables, small farmers’ production is fundamental and needs to be integrated into stable value chains to maintain market, logistics and quality conditions. This article develops a theoretical framework based on the conditions, strategies and performances of supply chain systems, combined with the elicitation of expert opinion, to identify key variables for the specific analysis of fruit and vegetable supply chains. Empirical data was retrieved from eight supply chains in five Mediterranean countries to identify the most relevant issues related to their conditions, strategies and performances. Three different types of supply chains were included: 1) Short food supply chains, 2) Green public procurement, and 3) Exportoriented supply chains. This research made it possible to identify key indicators for the analysis of fruit and vegetable supply chain system dynamics. The variables identified in this study may contribute to prospective research for the assessment of fruit and vegetable supply chain sustainability and to the development of policies that encourage the adoption of environmentally-friendly and socially-responsible practices, thus contributing to the long-term sustainability of Mediterranean fruit and vegetables supply chains.

Stigma has grown in importance as a concept for understanding consumer behaviour during crises and gaining insights into post-pandemic food and travel intentions. While previous studies examined stigma from the perspective of stigmatised individuals, the current study investigated stigma from the perspective of other societies and their willingness to visit stigmatised countries or dine at stigmatised restaurants. The main aim of the current paper was to analyze the effect o f stigma associated with COVID-19 on travel intentions to stigmatised countries and food avoidance at stigmatised restaurants. It also examined the effect of media discourse on stigma. A number of 593 questionnaires from Egyptians and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to test the model. The findings showed that stigma associated with COVID-19 has a significant and negative effect on travel intentions to stigmatised countries, while stigma has a significant and positive effect on avoiding dining at stigmatised restaurants. Additionally, media discourse significantly contributes to the stigma associated with COVID-19. On the other hand, there was no significant impact of food avoidance at stigmatised restaurants on the intention to travel to stigmatised countries. COVID-19-related discrimination and stigma must be stopped, and the media should enhance awareness without raising anxiety. The current research provided important insights that can be used to help revitalise the travel and food industries and to combat stigma-related prejudice.
Penundaan Berlarut (Undue Delay) Penanganan Perkara Dugaan Tindak Pidana Penghalang-Halangan Dan Kekerasan Kepada Kerja Pers: Sebuah Tinjauan Kritis
Authors: M. Rizki Yudha Prawira
Published: September 2024

Guaranteeing rights to press freedom does not only lie in the existence of laws and regulations to protect it and institutions that specifically implement, it but also in certainty in law enforcement. One of the components of press protection is legal certainty in the investigation and/or inquiry process by the Indonesian National Police (Polri). One of the problems in the law enforcement process is protracted delays, also known as undue delays. According to the Ombudsman Regulation No. 26 of 2017, Article 11 regulates that one form of maladministration is protracted delays where services are provided beyond the time quality standards of the service promise. Based on a report by the Legal Aid Center for the Press, from 2020 to 2022, there were nine cases of suspected criminal acts against the Press that were suspected of undue delay or protracted processes. Based on the report and the pattern of these cases, five were physical attacks where the perpetrators were suspected to have come from law enforcement officers themselves, and the other four were cyber attacks. The research aims to find the cause of this problem, which lies in the provisions of the relevant laws and regulations and at the practical implementation level.

The Role of School Context in Explaining Racial Disproportionality in Special Education
Authors: Stiefel Leanna , Fatima Syeda Sana , Cimpian Joseph R. , O’Hagan Kaitlyn G.
Published: September 2024

Research on racial disproportionality in special education has exploded, in part due to federal accountability related to over- or under representation of specific racial groups. Some recent research shifts the focus from the role of student characteristics in predicting special education classification to inquire whether school context moderates. We significantly extend this emerging literature using 8 years of elementary student-and school-level data from New York City public schools, examining more school contextual moderators, expanding racial categories, and distinguishing between cross-sectional and over-time differences. We find many more moderators than previous research identified, and these school context factors appear to be particularly salient for the classification of Black students. Results may inform future consideration by federal policymakers regarding assessment of disproportionality.
Voluntary and Reflexive Mechanisms of Visual Attention: An Investigation of the Robustness of the Social Attention Bias
Authors: Gado Sabrina , Stegmann Yannik , Gamer Matthias
Published: September 2024

Social attention refers to a perceptual prioritization of social information and a tendency to quickly direct attention towards social stimuli. However, the extent to which social attention follows reflexive mechanisms rather than reflecting top-down control remains elusive. Here we examined the robustness of social orienting when challenged by competing top-down modulations of attention induced by motivationally relevant operant conditioning. We conducted two consecutive experiments (both N = 52) with data for Experiment 1 being collected in December 2023 and January 2024 and data for Experiment 2 from April – May 2024. Using a gaze-contingent paradigm, we explored whether humans could learn to suppress directing their overt visual attention towards specific stimuli when such behavior is associated with an aversive outcome, such as an aversive electric shock (Experiment 1) or a loss of points (Experiment 2). We observed reflexive social attention characterized by faster and more frequent saccades only for positively conditioned faces but neither for stimuli that required avoidance nor for novel stimuli. Overall, these results suggest that bottom-up attentional mechanisms such as social prioritization or a novelty bias are less automatic and reflexive than previously assumed and can be suppressed through executive control to support goal-directed behavior.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: Population mental health (MH) cannot be treated merely by addressing gaps in MH protection, without tackling wider societal factors. However, it is not clear what should be the role of MH experts, and whether they perceive civic engagement in addressing these matters should be part of their job. The main aim of this study was to assess if there is a consensus among MH experts on whether civic engagement should be part of their job, in which specific areas, and in which ways. Method: The Delphi method, consisting of statement development and three iterative rounds of data collection, was applied. A group of MH experts and MH service user developed an initial 71 statements, grouped into the following sections: Engaging in civic engagement, Scope of professional role, Civic engagement within job duties, Perception of civically engaged MH experts, Current status of civic engagement of MH experts, Communication with decision-makers and Helplessness, while section Potential risks of civic engagement on society was added subsequently. 139 MH experts participated in the study, while 77.7% completed all three survey rounds. Results: Even though results showed a high consensus of MH experts in conceptualizing civic engagement as part of their job, this notion is less clear when considering specific questions related to civic engagement. Conclusion: The study provided the first evidence on mental health experts’ perspectives regarding civic engagement, underscoring the need for future research, and for rethinking the role of civic engagement within the professional mandate of MH community.

Published: September 2024

The intention to speak-up or withhold one’s voice has been linked to employee well-being outcomes including burnout and has been considered a proxy for the quality of organizational culture in the workplace. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized evidence on the relationship between burnout and employee silence/voice outcomes. An electronic database search up to May 2024 was conducted on PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL and Google Scholar combined with manual scoping of references and 84 studies met the inclusion criteria (Total N = 34,975). A meta-analysis suggested that the relationship between all employee voice/silence outcomes and burnout was statistically significant such that greater silence and lower voice were associated with higher burnout (ρ = .36, 95% CI [.32; .40]). When considered separately, effects were moderate and positive for employee silence outcomes and burnout (ρ = .43, 95% CI [.37; .48]) and small and negative for employee voice outcomes and burnout (ρ = -.28, 95% CI [-.35; -.21]). Subgroup analyses revealed larger effect sizes in non-Western regions and studies using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The evidence consistently showed a larger overlap between emotional exhaustion and employee silence, compared to employee voice, suggesting that reducing employee silence might be more beneficial for addressing job burnout than increasing employee voice. The available evidence is limited primarily to emotional exhaustion, and more research is needed to distinguish the emotional and cognitive components of silence/voice from the observable behavioural outcomes.

Published: September 2024

Experimental design in language cognition research often involves presenting language material whilemeasuring associated behavior and/or neural activity. To make the collected data easily and fullyanalyzable by both the original data authors and others, it is important to have detailed informationabout the stimulus presentation events, including the nature and properties of the presented stimuli,using a common vocabulary and syntax. We present HED LANG, a library extension of the HierarchicalEvent Descriptors (HED) event annotation schema for time series behavioral and neuroimaging data.HED LANG provides an open source, standardized vocabulary for building detailed, human- andmachine-actionable annotations for language cognition datasets. It builds on existing annotationsystems in linguistics and is supported by a suite of HED tools for annotating, validating, searching,and characterizing HED-tagged datasets. HED LANG is specific enough to allow event data annotationat the range of levels needed to support many current research paradigms and analyses. Both HEDand HED LANG are open to community input and participation, enabling them to evolve withcontinuing developments in language cognition research.

Conceptualizing and measuring communication success is crucial for evaluating hearing interventions, as many hearing-impaired individuals struggle in interactive communication settings. However, no established methods exist to directly assess communication success in the context of hearing impairment and intervention. This study introduces a new perspective on communication success, defining it as the effective exchange of information between interlocutors. Experiments were conducted with ten triads (N = 30) to examine the impact of loud background noise on decision-making using a general-knowledge decision-making task in triadic groups. Participants answered questions twice, both before and after group discussions, under noise conditions of 78 dB and 48 dB SPL. A group decision model was applied to quantify the relative influence of group members on each other’s post-discussion decisions, formalized as a set of model weights. Four statistics were used to summarize the results across groups: overall weight change, self-weighting, weight equality, and weight similarity. Results showed that background noise significantly altered the overall weight participants gave to each other’s prior decisions, but self-weighting, weight equality, and weight similarity were not affected by the noise condition. This methodology offers a new tool for assessing the communicative consequences of hearing loss, providing insights beyond traditional hearing tests.
Coupling up: A dynamic investigation of romantic partners’ neurobiological states during nonverbal connection

Nonverbal connection is an important aspect of everyday communication. For romantic partners, nonverbal connection is essential for establishing and maintaining feelings of closeness. EEG hyperscanning offers a unique opportunity to examine the link between nonverbal connection and neural synchrony among romantic partners that has yet to be clearly established. The current study used an EEG hyperscanning paradigm to collect frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) signatures from 30 participants (15 romantic dyads) engaged in five different types of nonverbal connection that varied based on physical touch and visual contact. Results suggest that there is a lack of FAA while romantic partners are embracing and positive FAA (i.e., indicating approach) while they are holding hands, looking at each other, or doing both. Additionally, partners’ FAA synchrony was greatest at a four second lag while they were holding hands and looking at each other. Finally, there was a significant relationship between partners’ weekly negative feelings and FAA such that as they felt more negative their FAA became more positive. Taken together, this study further supports that fleeting moments of interpersonal touch and gaze are important for the biological mechanisms that may underlie affiliative pair bonding in romantic relationships.
Dualism and Beyond: A Unified Framework for Self- and Other-Oriented Compassion

Since the turn of the century, scientific interest in compassion has markedly increased, recognizing it both as an innate characteristic and a trainable skill. This research has been largely guided by a binary conceptualization of self-compassion versus other-oriented compassion, shaping largely distinct measures, practices, trainings, and programs of research. While this binary conceptual division of compassion has served pragmatic functions and yielded many valuable insights, it risks limiting the future benefits and applicability of compassion science by overlooking the potential for more integrated experiences of compassion. Here we introduce a unified compassion framework—spanning a range of assumptions about the nature of compassion from dualistic to semi-dualistic to nondualistic—to account for the complex variety of relationships between compassion for self and others. This framework: a) preserves the practicality of distinguishing compassion by orientation toward self versus other(s) while accommodating a richer variety of compassion views and experiences; b) aligns more closely with emerging scientific evidence and traditional perspectives that have predominantly informed compassion science; c) raises numerous tractable questions for future research; and d) invites new directions in compassion training and clinical application. By adopting a unified framework, compassion science can become more comprehensive, generative, and relevant to alleviating suffering.
Generative AI Meets Open-Ended Survey Responses: Participant Use of AI and Homogenization

Published: September 2024

The growing popularity of generative AI tools presents new challenges for data quality in online surveys and experiments. This study examines participants’ use of large language models to answer open-ended survey questions and describes empirical tendencies in human vs LLM-generated text responses. In an original survey of participants recruited from a popular online platform for sourcing social science research subjects, 34% reported using LLMs to help them answer open-ended survey questions. Simulations comparing human-written responses from three pre-ChatGPT studies with LLM-generated text reveal that LLM responses are more homogeneous and positive, particularly when they describe social groups in sensitive questions. These homogenization patterns may mask important underlying social variation in attitudes and beliefs among human subjects, raising concerns about data validity. Our findings shed light on the scope and potential consequences of participants’ LLM use in online research.
Trends in Public Crime Concerns in Germany: A Bounding Analysis of Periodic Change
Authors: Yastrebov Gordey , Trinidad Alexander , Leopold Thomas
Published: September 2024

In this paper, we ask whether broader societal changes in Germany over the last three decades have been accompanied by a secular rise or decline in public concerns about crime. We conceptualize the aggregate effect of these changes as a period effect to be identified in a framework of age-period-cohort (APC) analysis. Upon evaluation of previous research, we argue that the secular trend is challenging to identify directly both for empirical and theoretical reasons. However, using Fosse and Winship’s bounding approach to APC analysis, we show that the challenge can be resolved indirectly, and identify a declining period trend under an intuitive and theoretically warranted assumption that crime concerns are unlikely to decrease from late adolescence into adulthood.
A Research Note on the Possible Bias of Within-Estimators for Binned Variables
Authors: Yastrebov Gordey
Published: September 2024

In this research note, I discuss the existence of a possible attenuation bias in research involving within-estimation (e.g., such as in sibling comparison designs) and the use of binned variables—i.e., categorical versions of continuous variables broken down into intervals. I draw on a specific example of recent research on the effects of parental age at birth and birth spacing, although the problem I address is more general in nature. I explain the nature of the bias, show how and under what conditions it arises, and provide simple recommendations on how the bias can be either avoided altogether and/or accounted for in the inference.
Welcome to an Action Against Mental Colonialism
Authors: Mishra A.K.
Published: September 2024

This editorial introduces the inaugural issue of the Intellectual Journal of Academic Research (IJAR), which aims at covering the uncovered in Nepali and English language focusing quality contents across social science. It starts with a background to Mental Colonialism, highlights the justification of names and needs of this journal. Acknowledging the individuals and institutions involved in bringing the journal from its conception to fruition, the editorial ends with a call on researchers and practitioners to cross over Mental Colonialism and create an intellectual platform for social science exchange that can lead to positive change in the society.
Institutional pressure is general strongest at research universities. The pressure to publish has been observed as a cause of poor work being submitted to academic journals and publishing in ranked factors journals by paying caused to create financial burden to developing countries authors. While the where of publishing is important, it is more important to focus on what is published. Getting published for scholars in poor countries can be difficult due to cost of publication, language barriers, lack of resources, discrimination and limited access to information. IJAR Journal is introduced to create an equal opportunity through open access without any charge after blind peer review. In 21st century anything from anywhere, it is easy for digitization after which the power of your knowledge and innovation decide further moves
