Authors: ÖZSOY Abdurrahman Kürşat , ÖZALP Tahir , ERDOĞAN Hasan
Published: February 2023

Amaç: Planlanan çalışmada buzağı ishallerinde koruyucu ve tedavi etkinliği bilenen klinoptilolitin (zeolit) ‘in abomazal boşalma oranına etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kapsamda yapılan çalışma eşit sayıda (n=7) 2 grup olarak belirlenen holstein ırkı, her iki cinsiyetten, süt emme dönemindeki buzağılardan oluştu. Zeolit grubunda bulunan buzağılara süt içerisine zeolit (1 gr/kg) ve asitaminofen (50 mg/kg) ilavesi, kontrol grubuna ise yalnızca asetaminofen ilavesi yapıldı. Kan örnekleri uygulama öncesi 0. dk ve uygulama sonrası 30., 60., 90., 120., 180., 240., 300., dakikalarda olacak şekilde alındı. Bulgular: Plazma asetaminofen konsantrasyonlarının zamana bağlı plazma seviyelerinde değişimler göz önüne alındığında, zeolit ve kontrol grubu buzağıları arasında çalışma sonunda anlamlı değişimlerin bulunmadığı belirlendi. Diğer taraftan her iki grubun maksimum konsantrasyona ulaşma süreleri incelendiğinde Tmax süresinin kontrol grubunda bulunan buzağılarına göre anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu ve zeolit uygulanan buzağılarda asetaminofen emilimin daha yüksek olduğu gözlemlendi. Sonuç: Zeolit uygulanan buzağılarda abomazal boşalma zamanı kontrol grubu buzağılarına göre daha kısa sürede gerçekleşmiştir. İshale karşı profilaktik ve terapötik etkisi bulunan zeolitin, abomazal boşalma üzerine olumsuz bir etki oluşturmadığı ve güvenle kullanılabilecek bir ajan olduğu belirlendi.

Mangrove memainkan peran sangat krusial bukan saja sebagai pelindung pesisir pantai tetapi juga sebagai tempat perkembangbiakan dan hunian beragam organisme dan sebagai sumber berbagai bahan bioaktif berpotensi medis. Kerusakan vegetasi mangrove di Kampung Salurang Kabupaten Sangihe yang merupakan daerah hilir akibat aktivitas tambang di daerah hulu menyebabkan penurunan drastis hasil tangkapan ikan di kampung Salurang dan musnahnya berbagai sumber bahan bioaktif potential. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan memulihkan vegetasi mangrove yang telah rusak di kampung Salurang. Tahapan kegiatan pengabdian meliputi (1) survei dan konsultasi dengan pemerintah kampung untuk menentukan lokasi penanaman dan tanggal pemberian materi penyuluhan, (2) pendampingan untuk pembibitan mangrove oleh tim kepada masyarakat, (3) pelaksanaan kegiatan mencakup pemberian materi kepada masyarakat termasuk pemuda dan siswa sekolah menengah pertama dan penanaman mangrove bersama masyarakat. Hingga saat ini, sekitar 76% dari 95% mangrove yang ditanam tumbuh dengan baik dan pertumbuhannya masih terus dipantau. Kegiatan ini memiliki implikasi penting bukan saja untuk lingkungan dan kehidupan masyarakat pesisir tetapi juga untuk melindungi organisme simbion mangrove maupun mangrove itu sendiri sebagai sumber berbagai bahan bioaktif potensial.

Published: February 2023

Beschaffung hat grundsätzlich die Aufgabe, einer Organisation ihre benötigten, aber nicht selbst hergestellten Güter zur Verfügung zu stellen. Verträge sind dabei das zentrale Instrument zur Vereinbarung lieferantenseitiger Leistungen. In Verträgen ist der Leistungs-Gegenleistungsmechanismus festgeschrieben und zahlreiche rechtliche Fragestellungen wie Haftung, Gewährleistung usw. sind darin geregelt. Schon seit längerem werden Verträge digital mithilfe von Computerprotokollen abgebildet. Solche „elektronischen Verträge“ oder auch „Smart Contracts“ bilden die Logik der vertraglichen Regelungen technisch ab und erleichtern so die Überwachung des Leistungsaustauschs. Dies wird sich noch weiterentwickeln. Denn verbesserte Algorithmen und künstliche Intelligenz werden zukünftig in der Lage sein, Verträge nicht nur zu administrieren, sondern auch zu gestalten. Dieser Beitrag stellt den Status Quo dar und stellt vor, wie künstliche Intelligenz in der Beschaffung zur Steuerung von Lieferanten genutzt werden könnte (Smart Contracting). Als Ergebnis wird eine Vision eines solchen neuen Vertragsdesignprozesses skizziert.

Interaktionsordnungen in Videokonferenzen – Simulationen einer Face-to-Face-Kommunikation?
Authors: Linz Erika
Published: February 2023

Der Beitrag diskutiert die Frage, wie mediale Einflussfaktoren die Herausbildung von Interaktionsordnungen in Videokonferenzen prägen. Anders als bei digitalen Formen schriftlicher Kommunikation einschließlich der sogenannten quasi-synchronen Chat- Kommunikation erfolgt die Kommunikation in Videokonferenzen prinzipiell im Raum wechselseitiger Wahrnehmung; dieser Raum reduziert sich jedoch von der Dreidimensionalität eines betretbaren physischen Ortes auf die Größe eines zweidimensionalen Bildschirms und ist mit einer Dissoziation zwischen der körperlichen Verortung und der audiovisuellen Wahrnehmung der Interaktanten verbunden. Hier setzt der Beitrag an und richtet den Fokus auf die Formen von Anwesenheit und „response presence“ (Goffman) unter den Bedingungen einer eingeschränkten „Wahrnehmungswahrnehmung“ (Hausendorf). In Abkehr von der noch verbreiteten Auffassung von technisierter Kommunikation als Ersatz für Face-to-Face-Begegnungen argumentiert er für eine Betrachtung der Videokonferenzen als eigenständige Interaktionsformen. Speziell bezogen auf Videokonferenzformate, deren Teilnehmerzahl über die bislang meist untersuchten Dyaden oder Kleingruppenkonstellationen hinausreicht, soll verdeutlicht werden, dass sich die Beteiligungsstrukturen in den videobasierten Interaktionen nicht allein den technischen Rahmenbedingungen verdanken, sondern aus dem Zusammenspiel von medientechnologischen Vorgaben, Plattformeinstellungen und der Entwicklung spezifischer Praktiken ihres Gebrauchs resultieren.

The implementation of good governance requires the government to improve its bureaucratic system so that a more accountable government is formed so that the government becomes more efficient, effective, clean and responsible and free from a culture of corruption, collusion and nepotism. The Pamekasan Regency Financial and Asset Management Agency as a government agency authorized to manage Pamekasan Regency finances and assets is obliged to be responsible for its performance in achieving the vision and mission that has been formulated. The purpose of this study was to determine the accountability of employee performance at the Pamekasan Regency's Financial and Asset Management Agency. This research uses descriptive qualitative research, because it seeks to explain the reality of accountability in the performance of employees of the Pamekasan Regency's Financial and Asset Management Agency. Data collection uses in-depth interview techniques and documentation. Data analysis in this study uses the Text and Language Analysis Method, namely Content Analysis. The results showed that, performance accountability carried out by individual employees was still not going well because in the application of the five dimensions of performance accountability namely legal accountability and honesty, managerial accountability, program accountability, policy accountability and financial accountability were not in line with expectations. In this case, the improvement of the lack of performance accountability carried out by individual employees must be by means of instilling control (self) in each individual employee to be successful in taking responsibility for their performance. Results Performance achievements carried out by individual employees are evaluated for the accountability of their performance and are required to account for their performance in carrying out what are the main tasks, functions and responsibilities mandated to employees.

Hypocrisies Of Democracy: Existence Of Community Organization And State Control
Authors: Lucca Anggie Parawitha
Published: February 2023

The study of democratic hypocrisy is mainly related to state control of people’s freedom to associate and assemble, and Strategies to overcome them in Indonesia have not been comprehensive in analyzing qualitatively and identifying the emergence of social movements and what makes community organizations strong. This article aims to describe and analyze the causes of a country with a democratic system that guarantees freedom of association and assembly, plus the statement of the President Joko Widodo regime, which urges the public to be active in criticizing the government instead to act repressively and the causes of social movements through community organizations to become strong. This research was conducted by observing community organizations (Ormas) and studying literature. The results showed that repressive actions until the dissolution of mass organizations were carried out because the more significant the threat of a social movement, social movement organization, or protest activity against the government and government elites, the more possible repressive actions will be carried out. Meanwhile, what makes mass organizations exist is analyzed based on the theory of the political process, in which the mass organizations make movements because they see political opportunities and then add the strength of popular organizations. Even though political and organizational opportunities alone do not quickly produce social movements, someone with his leadership is needed to fill the political opportunity and the organization’s strength, such as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), which owns Habib Rizieq Shihab. The low level of public satisfaction with the regime also causes mass organizations’ social movements to exist increasingly, overlapping often inconsistent policies, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, making community satisfaction decrease.

The Impact of Performance Funding Policy Design on College Access and Selectivity
Authors: Rosinger Kelly , Ortagus Justin , Kelchen Robert , Choi Junghee
Published: February 2023

This study draws on a comprehensive performance-based funding (PBF) dataset and up-to-date difference-in-differences econometrics to examine the impacts of specific policy features (e.g., share of institutional revenue at stake and equity metrics) on college access and selectivity. We find suggestive evidence that increases in the share of revenue at stake are associated with decreases in racially minoritized student enrollment. Meanwhile, equity metrics may not be enough to boost enrollment among underserved students. Ultimately, however, our conclusions are limited due to various potential sources of bias, unconvincing pre-trends, and wide confidence intervals. While findings offer limited insight into the impacts of specific design features, they point to limitations of PBF—regardless of design—in expanding access and reducing inequities at 4-year colleges.

Über Natur und Mensch im brasilianischen Amazonasgebiet
Authors: Sioli Harald
Published: February 2023

The aim of this paper is to be a sequel to and to enlarge upon the paper, ,,Die Amazonasniederung als harmonischer Organismus" (the Amazon lowland as a harmonic organism), read by Hans Bluntschli almost . 40 years ago, a paper which has become in the meantime a classic description of the very essence of Amazonia. After dividing Brazil into three fairly uniform regions, one of which is Amazonia, the author then deals with its geological structure since it serves as a key to the understanding of many of the distinctive features of the nature Qf this region. A cross section through lower Amazonia is used to illustrate the present geomorphology of this region and also the meaning of the terms varzea, igapo and terre firme. Based on the most recent data available a climatic subdivision of Amazonia is given and the varzea campos of the lower Amazon are viewed in relationship to it. To explain the existence of the campos of the terre firme, edaphic factors and man's activity are taken into account in addition to the climate. A further section deals with the hydrological qualities and the riverside zones of the Amazonian whitewater, clearwater and blackwater rivers. In this context special reference is made to the peculiar unproportionately large estuaries and the typical river lakes of lower Amazonia, and their origin is explained by postglacial eustatic rise of the sea level and vertical earth movements. Finally the relationships between man and nature in Amazonia are· investigated and an account is given of their development so far. In conclusion the author considers what course the planned application of modern technology within and against nature in Amazonia will take and what its consequences will be.
Differential expression of BRSK2 in pancreatic cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined published and public microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with pancreatic cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding BR serine/threonine kinase 2, BRSK2, when comparing pancreatic tumors to the tissue of origin, the pancreas. BRSK2 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the pancreas as compared to normal pancreatic tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of BRSK2 in pancreatic tumors was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. BRSK2 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human PDAC.
Theta Synchronization as a Neural Marker of flexible (re-)use of socio-cognitive mechanisms for a new category of (artificial) interaction partners
Authors: Parenti Lorenzo , Navare Uma Prashant , Marchesi Serena , Roselli Cecilia , Wykowska Agnieszka
Published: February 2023

Previous work shows that in some instances artificial agents, such as robots, can elicit higher-order socio-cognitive mechanisms, similar to those elicited by humans. This suggests that these socio-cognitive mechanisms, such as mentalizing processes, originally developed for interaction with other humans, might be flexibly (re-)used, or “hijacked”, for approaching this new category of interaction partners (Wykowska, 2020). In this study, we set out to identify neural markers of such flexible reuse of socio-cognitive mechanisms. We focused on fronto-parietal theta synchronization, as it has been proposed to be a substrate of cognitive flexibility in general (Fries, 2005). We analyzed EEG data from two experiments (Bossi et al., 2020; Roselli et al., submitted), in which participants completed a test measuring their individual likelihood to adopt the intentional stance towards robots, the intentional stance (IST) test. Our results show that participants with higher scores on the IST, indicating that they had higher likelihood of adopting the intentional stance towards a robot, had a significantly higher theta synchronization value, relative to participants with lower scores on the IST. These results suggest that long-range synchronization in the theta band might be a marker socio-cognitive process that can be flexibly applied towards non-human agents, such as robots.

Hybrid Logistic and Confined Exponential Growth Models: Estimation using SEM Software
Authors: Wood Phillip K
Published: February 2023

The logistic and confined exponential curves are frequently used in studies of growth and learning. These models, which are nonlinear in their parameters, can be estimated using structural equation modeling software. This paper proposes a single hybrid model which is a weighted combination of both models. Example Mplus code for the model is provided. In order to assess whether the model can be successfully fit using SEM software and is preferable to either individual model, Monte Carlo simulations varying the number of measurement occasions (5, 10, and 15), internal consistency (α = .5, .7, and .8), and sample size (N = 1,000, 500, and 300) were examined. Convergence failures were appreciable when model parameters were equal to special cases of logistic or confined exponential curves. At least ten measurement occasions and a moderate degree of reliability (>0.7) were required to identify the model as superior to its stand-alone alternatives.Keywords: Growth; Structural Equation Modeling; Logistic Curve; Confined Exponential Curve
Distinguishing neural correlates of prediction errors on perceptual content and detection of content
Authors: Dijkstra Nadine , Warrington Oliver , Kok Peter , Fleming Stephen M
Published: February 2023

Accounting for why discrimination between different perceptual contents is not always accompanied conscious detection of that content remains a challenge for predictive processing theories of perception. Here we test a hypothesis that detection is supported by a distinct inference within generative models of perceptual content. We develop a novel visual perception paradigm that probes such inferences by manipulating both expectations about stimulus content (stimulus identity) and detection of content (stimulus presence). In line with model simulations we show that both content and detection expectations influence reaction times on a categorisation task. By combining a no-report version of our task with functional neuroimaging we reveal that violations of expectations (prediction errors; PEs) about perceptual content and detection are supported by posterior and prefrontal cortex in qualitatively different ways: within posterior sensory cortex, activity patterns diverge only on trials with a content PE, but within these trials, further divergence is seen for detection PEs. In contrast, within prefrontal cortex, activity patterns diverge only on trials with a detection PE, but within these trials, further divergence is seen for content PEs. These results suggest rich encoding of both content and detection prediction errors and highlight a distributed neural basis for inference on content and detection of content in the human brain.
An observational treatment study of metacognition in anxious-depression

Published: February 2023

Prior studies have found metacognitive biases are linked to a transdiagnostic dimension of anxious-depression, manifesting as reduced confidence in performance. However, previous work has been cross-sectional and so it is unclear if under-confidence is a trait-like marker of anxious-depression vulnerability, or if it resolves when anxious-depression improves. Data were collected as part of a large-scale transdiagnostic, four-week observational study of individuals initiating internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) or antidepressant medication. Self-reported clinical questionnaires and perceptual task performance were gathered to assess anxious-depression and metacognitive bias at baseline and four-week follow-up. Primary analyses were conducted for individuals who received iCBT (n=649), with comparisons between smaller samples that received antidepressant medication (n=82) and a control group receiving no intervention (n=88). Prior to receiving treatment, anxious-depression severity was associated with under-confidence in performance in the iCBT arm, replicating previous work. From baseline to follow-up, levels of anxious-depression were significantly reduced, and this was accompanied by a significant increase in metacognitive confidence in the iCBT arm (B=0.17, SE=0.02, p<0.001). These changes were correlated (r(647)=-0.12, p=0.002); those with the greatest reductions in anxious-depression levels had the largest increase in confidence. While the three-way interaction effect of group and time on confidence was not significant (F(2, 1632)=0.60, p=0.550), confidence increased in the antidepressant group (B=0.31, SE=0.08, p<0.001), but not among controls (B=0.11, SE=0.07, p=0.103). Metacognitive biases in anxious-depression are state-dependent; when symptoms improve with treatment, so does confidence in performance. Our results suggest this is not specific to the type of intervention.
Making a positive difference: Criticality in groups
Authors: Gerstenberg Tobias , Lagnado David , Zultan Ro'i
Published: February 2023

How critical are individual members perceived to be for their group's performance? In this paper, we show that judgments of criticality are intimately linked to considering responsibility. Prospective responsibility attributions in groups are relevant across many domains and situations, and have the potential to influence motivation, performance, and allocations of resources. We develop various models that differ in how the relationship between criticality and responsibility is conceptualized. To test our models, we experimentally vary the task structure (disjunctive, conjunctive, and mixed) and the abilities of the group members (which affects their probability of success). We show that both factors influence criticality judgments, and that a model which construes criticality as anticipated credit best explains participants' judgments. Unlike prior work that has defined criticality as anticipated responsibility for both success and failures, our results suggest that people only consider the possible outcomes in which an individual contributed to a group success, but disregard group failure.

In this study, we collected affective ratings of emotional valence and arousal for 882 Serbian words and compared their values at three points in time: before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (2018), during the COVID-19 lockdown (2020) and after the government measures were abandoned (2022). Although valence ratings were more stable than arousal ratings, we did not observe a significant change in either valence or arousal ratings across the time points. A more detailed look into the data revealed the change in arousal that was different across the valence values. Our analyses demonstrated that, upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, emotionally negative words elicited higher arousal ratings, whereas emotionally positive words elicited lower arousal ratings. It revealed that our participants became more sensitive to the negative content and less sensitive to the positive content. We hypothesized that this pattern could be linked to reduced resilience and consequently could represent a mental health risk.
Woman in Beauvoir's Concept: A Feminist Reading
Authors: Bhatta Damaru Chandra
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this paper is to present the French existentialist philosopher Simon de Beauvoir's feminist viewpoint against traditional patriarchy, which is a social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line. It also tries to present her traditional analysis how woman has been unreasonably victimized by man in the society. Beauvoir shows with great erudition that man's dominance has been secured through the ages by an ideological power; legislators, priests, scientists, and philosophers have all promoted the idea of woman's subordination. Hence, Beauvoir concludes that feminist must break this type of patriarchal power to change man at the level of theory, but without entering the theoretical domain on man's terms; however man and woman should live together for a happy life by enjoying equal right and power.

Assessment of Different Properties of Lightweight Concrete using Expanded Polystyrene Beads Extracted from Thermocol Wastage
Authors: Gyawali Tek Raj
Published: February 2023

Nepal is facing the problem of thermocol wastage, especially in the damping site nearby the urban areas. The thermocol wastage were crushed by a hammer and the extracted expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads was used as aggregates to produce the lightweight concrete. The content of EPS beads was 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 % by the total volume. Mechanical properties like density, different strengths, and Young’s modulus were experimentally evaluated on ranging percentages of EPS. The 28-day compressive, flexural, splitting tensile strengths and Young’s modulus of the control mixture were 59.9 MPa, 5.21 MPa, 4.43 MPa, and 20898 MPa respectively. The decrease on compressive strength was by 62 %, 72 %, 81 %, 88 %, and 93 % respectively for 20 %, 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, and 60 % EPS content respectively. It was 26 %, 41 %, 51 %, 57 %, and 69 % for flexural strength, 46 %, 60 %, 70 %, 80 %, and 88 % for the splitting tensile strength and 45 %, 56 %, 61 %, 70 %, and 77 % for Young’s modulus respectively. Drying shrinkage, freezing and thawing, and water absorption tests were conducted to evaluate the durability of EPS concrete. All properties were compared with the auto-cleaved lightweight concrete (ALC). It revealed that the EPS beads extracted from the thermocol wastage can be re-used to produce the structural and non-structural concrete depending on its percentages. It can easily solve the never-decomposing problems of thermocol wastage. Moreover, ALC can be replaced by EPS concrete for the in-fill and partition walls of the buildings.

Given the necessity to supply growing demands for nutrients from agricultural and pasture lands, which is related to the expansion in agrobusiness, the use of soil remineralizers stands as an alternative in the state of Pará. In addition, the state’s geodiversity and its mining history place it in an extremely advantageous position for adopting this technological route. This work aimed to investigate what types of rocks have the greatest potential for use as a soil remineralizer in the Northeast and Southeast regions of Pará. To do this, authors used a combination of tools available in Geographic Information Systems with a meticulous literature review. Among the identified rocks, special attentions is given a variety of lithotypes that situate in the mafic and ultramafic spectra, especially those with shoshonitic affinity (high K), as well as calcsilicate rocks from the Buritirama Formation, all with notable contents ​​of K2O, CaO e MgO. The variety of those rocks manifest as multiple sources of macronutrients and also indicate the possibility of blending (mixing) rocks to achieve the minimum guarantees required by the Normative Instruction Nº 05/2016 from MAPA. This is the case for regions where two or more potential rocks are spatially related, such as in the Gurupi and Carajás Areas of Relevant Mineral Interest.
