Authors: Panjaitan Bernat , Risdalina Risdalina , Kusno Kusno
Published: December 2023

Based on the setting for determining criminal policies that are in accordance with the values of people's lives, the setting for determining criminal policies is contained in the Criminal Code as general provisions and in the special criminal provisions of Law No. 35 of 2009 as a special crime that regulates narcotics. Based on this, the problem that will be discussed is how the monodualistic principle in eradicating criminal acts of narcotics abuse committed by children is contrary to the law related to Law No. 35 of 2009 and Law No. 11 of 2012. This research is normative juridical research, namely research conducted by examining library materials or secondary data. In terms of implementing the diversion, there are several things that make it impossible. There are several factors that cause the diversion of children who abuse narcotics to not be achieved,namely internal and external factors. @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}

Published: December 2023

The Dangerous Goods course is a compulsory course followed by cadets of the Diploma 3 Airport Management study program. Providing Dangerous Goods material aims to discover how to handle and pack dangerous goods under predetermined regulations, not to endanger flight safety and security. However, the cadets felt that the Dangerous Goods course was challenging due to the lack of modules and difficulty understanding the very thick Dangerous Goods book. Problem-based learning used in this study was chosen because this learning model trains the Critical Thinking skills possessed by cadets under the Dangerous Goods course material, which requires a lot of practice. This research method uses the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) research and development approach, which is a research method used to produce specific products and test the effectiveness of these products. The subjects of this study were 48 cadets of Palembang Aviation Polytechnic cadets who managed the airport. Researchers conduct research first to collect the data needed, then system development is carried out, and the system is tested and evaluated. This study showed that the results of media expert validation were obtained by 90.% with valid categories and material expert validation results by 91.% with valid categories. Based on the validity and product effectiveness results, problem-based learning e-modules on the developed Dangerous Goods material are valid and effectively used by teachers and students in the learning process.
Rethinking domestic politics of Indonesian SSTC in Africa and paradox of MRLs education training
Authors: Iswardhana Muhammad Ridha , Winanti Poppy Sulistyaning , Nurhayati Ririn Tri
Published: December 2023

Indonesia attempted to use its foreign policy to address domestic and international objectives in its relations with other nations. Due to Indonesia's success in the 1955 AAC and involvement in the 1961 NAM, the country's administration used the SSTC mechanism to further local goals. Indonesia often offers Muslim Religious Leaders (MRLs) international reproductive health training to bring SSTC to African nations. Analysis of domestic politics and international aid used in this research. Using secondary data from literature studies, this research employs a qualitative explanatory case study methodology. In addition, triangulation analysis based on theory and Nvivo classification based on analysis of domestic politics and foreign aid are applied. This research found Indonesia tried to project itself as a nation that successfully and consistently implements and promotes family planning worldwide. However, various paradoxes exist in how Indonesian SSTC is implemented through MRLs activities. Indonesia has a high level of foreign debt, which goes against religious belief, and the notion that a large family is necessary for success is the opposite of the success of Indonesian SSTC.

Western Palearctic Water Frogs’ (Pelophylax esculentus complex) Body Condition in Mixed Population Systems in Serbia Follow Levels of Habitat Suitability
Authors: Breka Katarina , Stamenković Srđan , Krizmanić Imre
Published: December 2023

Body condition is an important indicator in many ecological studies since it is expected that individuals and populations perform better in habitats more suitable for species. A wide range of metrics have been proposed as condition indices. In this study, we estimated the phenotypic condition of water frog species using the residual condition index. The study was carried out in three localities adjacent to nature preserves in South Banat, Serbia and with different levels of preserved natural features and anthropogenic pressure. Selected localities are typical habitats of water frogs with two parental and their hemiclonal hybrid species present. The localities were scored for suitability of the aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Statistical significance of residual condition index patterns from a multiway ANOVA was obtained for locality but not for species and sex. The lowest condition index was observed in frogs sampled from a locality maintained by human activity and with the lowest habitat suitability. Furthermore, the highest body condition index was obtained on the locality with the highest habitat suitability. One of the parental species, P. ridibundus had the highest overall body condition index while the hybrid species (P. esculentus) had the lowest. None of the three species from the complex had the highest body condition in all three localities, nor the worst.
Rimbaud, eterno resplandor de una imagen con recuerdos. Memoria y semiótica de la cultura
Authors: Gómez Ponce Ariel
Published: December 2023

El objetivo del artículo estriba en rescatar una concepción semiótica de la memoria en tanto forma constitutiva de las culturas, a la vez que deposito creativo de sentidos. Acorde a las conjeturas de Yuri Lotman, se desplegará la hipótesis de que la disputa entre la permanencia y la renovación es condición semiótica para que las culturas forjen sus identidades. Esa experiencia profundamente dialógica, donde resuena la sociocrítica de Mikhail Bakhtin, será confrontada a partir de las transmutaciones estéticas que experimenta una de las pocas fotografías del poeta Arthur Rimbaud. El derrotero de esa imagen icónica, que rememora algunas derivas del enfant terrible (joven errante, ícono queer y artista rebelde), atestiguará también la pervivencia de una transgresión propia de la sensibilidad moderna que, sin embargo, parece encontrar cierta renovación en la afición posmoderna por la ruptura y por aquella tendencia subjetiva que Fredric Jameson define como intensidad.

Mental time travel and self-efficacy: Findings on agency, emotionality, and flexibility
Authors: Plank Laurin , Zlomuzica Armin
Published: December 2023

Self-efficacy is defined as a belief that one can successfully cope with challenging situations. There is evidence that perceived self-efficacy (SE) can modulate cognitive and affective behavior. In the present study, we asked whether SE is related to various characteristics of mental time travel (MTT) performance, as well as its phenomenological concomitants. Individuals with high SE evaluated their MTTs as more positive and attributed themselves a more active role within the events reported, as compared to low SE individuals. As a marker of MTT flexibility, we tested the semantic variance of textual MTT reports. We found that when prompted with positively or negatively valenced cue words, participants with high SE generated MTT-reports which spread farther in semantic space. These results suggest that high SE is associated with multiple alterations to cued MTTs. Future research should investigate whether these alterations contribute to the various positive effects of SE on mental health.

Anti-Black Political Violence and the Historical Legacy of the Great Replacement Conspiracy
Authors: Thompson Andrew Ifedapo , McCabe Stefan , Beveridge Maxwell , Ahern Molly , Axford Noah , Cortes Fryda , Franks Jax Martinez
Published: December 2023

Racial violence is central to the American polity. We argue that support for violence, specifically anti-Black violence, has a long historical arc in American politics dating back to chattel slavery. In this paper, we argue that the racial violence associated with the “great replacement” conspiracy is much more pervasive among the White American public due to the historical legacy of anti-Black violent sentiment. To investigate the prevalence of this idea, we conducted a preregistered simple priming experiment aimed to tap into top-of-mind ideas about racial demographic change. Our experimental design spans multiple data sources, including two probability samples, over the course of a year. We ultimately find that simply priming attitudes about racial demographic change through a single open-ended question consistently leads to increased support for political violence, increasing racial resentment and expressed anti-Black views. Our approach allows us to test this question through variant methodological means, all of which confirm strong associations Americans have between racial demographic change, anti-Blackness and violence. In summary, our findings demonstrate that Black threat is an important driver of democratic backsliding in the realm of political violence that requires further attention.
One object with two identities: The rapid detection of face pareidolia in face and food detection tasks
Authors: Stuart Greta , Saurels Blake William , Robinson Amanda K , Taubert Jessica
Published: December 2023

Humans are so sensitive to faces and face-like patterns in the environment that sometimes we mistakenly see a face where none exists – a common illusion called “face pareidolia”. Examples of face pareidolia, “illusory faces”, occur in everyday objects such as trees and food, and contain two identities: an illusory face, and an object. In this study, we studied illusory faces in a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) paradigm over three experiments to explore the detectability of illusory faces under various task conditions and processing speeds. The first experiment revealed the rapid and reliable detection of illusory faces even at an extremely limited processing time of 34 ms, suggesting that face pareidolia arises from an error in rapidly detecting faces. Experiment 2 demonstrated that illusory facial structures within food items did not interfere with the recognition of the object's real identity, affirming that examples of face pareidolia maintain their object identity. Experiment 3 directly compared behavioural responses to illusory faces under different task demands, indicating that when processing time is extended, the object identity dominates perception. From a behavioural context, the findings revealed that illusory faces maintain concurrent identities as both faces and objects. The study sheds light on the brain's processing of objects with dual identities, contributing to our understanding of visual stimulus recognition. Future research could explore the neural representation of these unique stimuli under varying circumstances and attentional demands, providing deeper insights into the perception of face pareidolia.
The Bilingual Dual-path model: Simulating bilingual production, comprehension, and development
Authors: Khoe Yung Han , Frank Stefan L.
Published: December 2023

Experimental research has resulted in many important psycholinguistic findings in the area of bi-/multilingualism. However, cognitive computational models of sentence processing were limited to the single-language case until recently. In this methodological review, we discuss cognitive modeling work that uses the Bilingual Dual-path model to simulate experimental research on bilingual sentence production, comprehension and development. As a detailed example of such work, we then report on new simulations conducted with the model. Finally, we suggest directions for future cognitive modeling research using this model.
Hierarchical and dynamic relationships between body part ownership and full-body ownership
Authors: O'Kane Sophie , Chancel Marie , Ehrsson H. Henrik
Published: December 2023

What is the relationship between experiencing individual body parts and the whole body as one’s own? We theorised that body part ownership is driven primarily by the perceptual binding of visual and somatosensory signals from specific body parts, whereas full-body ownership depends on a more global binding process based on multisensory information from several body segments. To examine this hypothesis, we used a bodily illusion and asked participants to rate illusory changes in ownership over five different parts of a mannequin’s body and the mannequin as a whole while we manipulated the synchrony or asynchrony of visual and tactile stimuli delivered to three different body parts. We found that body part ownership was driven primarily by local visuotactile synchrony and could be experienced relatively independently of full-body ownership. Full-body ownership depended on the number of synchronously stimulated parts in a nonlinear manner, with the strongest full-body ownership illusion occurring when all parts received synchronous stimulation. Additionally, full-body ownership influenced body part ownership for nonstimulated body parts, and skin conductance responses provided physiological evidence supporting an interaction between body part and full-body ownership. We conclude that body part and full-body ownership correspond to different processes and propose a hierarchical probabilistic model to explain the relationship between part and whole in the context of multisensory awareness of one’s own body.
Cost-benefits analysis of joint actions; children and adults estimate the potential effort of acting together.
Authors: Speranza Trinidad Belén , Ramenzoni Veronica C
Published: December 2023

Every day we engage in activities that require collaboration and assistance from others. Social interactions with children are distinct because they frequently result in partners contributing different amounts of effort. This study investigates the decision-making processes underpinning joint actions; specifically, whether children and adults estimate they will have to invest different amounts of effort when engaging in joint tasks compared to doing the same task by themselves. In 4 Experiments, children and adults estimated the weight of objects when they anticipated that they would be lifted alone and when they thought they would have help. Children and adults estimated the weight of 3 clear baskets carrying different weights (light, medium, and heavy). The estimated weight of objects varied for adults and children depending on whether they thought they would lift alone or together. Children reliably perceived objects as lighter when they expected help from their parent compared to lifting them alone or with the help of a sibling. Parents, in turn, estimated objects would be heavier when they were helping their child. Overall, results suggest that we analyze the costs and benefits of helping another person and the social bond we have with them before engaging in joint actions.

Published: December 2023

A defining characteristic of social complexity in Homo sapiens is the diversity of our relationships. We build various types of connections with people in families, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and online communities. How do we make sense of such complex systems of human relationships? By using natural language processing, online surveys, laboratory cognitive tasks, and computational modelling on diverse modern cultures across the world (n = 20,425) and ancient cultures across 3,000 years of history, we discovered a universal representational space of relationship concepts, comprised of five principal dimensions (formality, activeness, valence, exchange, equality) and three core categories (hostile, public and private relationships). Our work reveals the fundamental cognitive constructs and cultural principles of relationship knowledge and advances our understanding of human sociality.
Cross-generational Effects of Social Media on Body Image Perception
Authors: Speranza Trinidad Belén , Abrevaya Sofia , Ramenzoni Veronica C
Published: December 2023

One of the consequences of the pandemic is that throughout 2020 virtual interactions largely replaced face-to-face interactions. Though there are few studies on how social media impacts body image perception across genders, research suggests that socializing through a virtual self-body image might have distinct implications for men and women. We examined whether type of social pressure and body-ideal (by administering the SATAQ-4R questionnaire) exert distinct pressures on members of the X, Y, and Z generations. Media pressure affected body image satisfaction significantly more than other kinds of social pressure across genders and generations, with young males reporting a higher impact compared to older males. Males experienced more pressure to be muscular and women to have a generally attractive body, especially for the younger generation. Future research should focus on social media as a potential intervention tool for the detection and prevention of body image disorders in both young female and male adults.Keywords: Social Media, Body Image, Body Ideal, Intergenerational Studies.

Critical Success Factors of Agile Software Development - A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Ojha Trailokya Raj
Published: December 2023

Agile software development has gained more popularity due to its capacity to manage constantly changing needs and generate high-quality software in less time. However, several success factors are required for an agile project to succeed. Agile development technique, delivery strategy, project team training, customer and staff involvement, management commitment, organizational culture, communication, and project management process are critical success factors (CSF) discovered in this study. This study's goal is to locate and evaluate these crucial elements of the agile software development methodology's success. A systematic literature review was conducted to study and analyze the previous studies to identify the CSFs in agile development. The findings of the literature review indicate that technical, people, organizational, and process factors are crucial for the success of agile projects. Each CSF falls into any one of these factors. Overall, this study's findings emphasize the significance of CSFs in the agile software development process. Organizations and software development teams can enhance their agile processes and raise the likelihood of project success by being aware of these aspects. Teams may create high-quality software in less time while simultaneously fulfilling the goals and expectations of the customer by concentrating on different success factors.
A Case Study on the Effect of Geometric Design Consistency on Road Crashes on Narayanghat-Muglin Road Section
Authors: Banjara Bharat Prashad , Gautam Gopal
Published: December 2023

Design consistency is overlooked while designing roads, resulting in unsafe road facilities. The safety performance of a highway can be greatly enhanced by detecting and addressing any inconsistencies present on the road. Over time, the application of geometric standards shifted from new road construction to upgrading, which could result in limited design options. Due to the emerging importance of design consistency in geometric design, this research has been initiated to evaluate horizontal curve consistency based on an established operating speed prediction model.

Horizontal curve data of the Narayanghat–Mugling Road section has been collected from the Division Road Office, Bharatpur, and accident data has been obtained from the District Traffic Police, Chitwan. Out of 242 horizontal curves in the Narayanghat-Muglin road section, the design consistency of 223 horizontal curves was evaluated, while 19 horizontal curves with posted speed limits were not considered because these curves are not within the range of design criteria set out in Asian Highways Design Standards (1993).

The average, maximum, and minimum 85th percentile speed was found to be 78, 101, and 32 kmph respectively. Out of 223 horizontal curves evaluated for individual consistency based on operating speed, 75% of the curves were categorized as “poor”, 16% as “fair”, and 9% as “good”. It was found that under successive element consistency evaluation based on operating speed, 22% of horizontal curves were categorized as “poor”, 23% as “fair”, and 55% as “good”. When studied under vehicle stability consistency evaluation criteria, 88% of the curves were classified as “fair” and 12% as “good”. It was found that the predicted accidents caused by geometric design inconsistency and vehicle stability are 5.12% of total accidents per year.

From the safety standpoint, if the condition |V85-Vd|>20 is met, critical discrepancies between the design speed and operating speed arise, resulting in unsafe operations. Therefore, it is generally advisable to consider redesigning those road sections.
Machine-Learning Based Prediction of Lung Cancer

Published: December 2023

The incidence of lung cancer has now exceeded all other types of cancer globally, making it the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Compared to other types of cancer, lung cancer has a poor prognosis and high mortality rate, making it challenging for humans to accurately predict its incidence rates. The goal of the study is to implement machine learning techniques for the early detection of lung cancer, which can increase patient survival rates. To find the most important factors and predict the possibility of lung cancer, a variety of data mining approaches, including logistic regression, k-means, and apriori algorithms are used in this study. Age, gender, smoking habit, and medical history are a few of the factors included in the dataset used for the study. The logistic regression classifier shows an accuracy of 95% for the classification of lung cancer in patients. The simulation results obtained from the k-means clustering algorithm shows that the main causes for the possible occurrence of lung cancer are chronic diseases, fatigue, allergy, wheezing, alcohol consumption habit, and breath problem. Similarly, according to the association rule's findings, there is no chance of lung cancer developing in a non-drinker who is free of peer pressure, allergies, and wheezing issues.
