Revolution, Covid-19, and War in Armenia: Impacts on Various Forms of Trust
Authors: Paturyan Yevgenya Jenny , Melkonyan Sara
Published: June 2024

This paper explores how interpersonal and institutional trust in Armenia was impacted by three dramatic events in its recent history: the popular uprising of 2018 (also known as the Velvet Revolution), the pandemic, and the war. We use World Value Survey, Caucasus Barometer, and other available surveys to demonstrate the relative stability of interpersonal trust, contrasted with swings in institutional trust. We also show an initial “rally around the flag” effect during the early period of the pandemic, followed by disillusionment. Overall, gains in trust due to the Velvet Revolution outweigh the losses in trust due to Covid-19 and war.
Unamuso of Tiflis: Urban Women in Pre-Revolutionary Georgia
Authors: Kupreishvili Liana
Published: June 2024

This article examines the history of prostitution in Tiflis from its legalization in the Russian Empire to the implementation of the regulation and monitoring of prostitution in Georgia between the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It presents previously unknown facts related to prostitution surrounding the government’s regulation and medicalization of the practice to public attitudes towards it. This article also highlights the intersection of gender, class, and political power in shaping attitudes toward prostitution and regulating sexuality. Furthermore, it argues that the concerns surrounding prostitution in Tiflis reflected wider anxieties about social change. Finally, the article illustrates how the history of prostitution in Tiflis reveals the selective nature of major historical and national narratives and the exclusion of marginalized groups from social and economic discourse in twentieth-century Georgia.

Authors: Uysal Önder , Gökdoğan Osman
Published: June 2024

This study was performed with the purpose of shedding light on the energy balance (EB) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of cherry cultivation. It was performed in Gönen district of Isparta province of Türkiye during the 2021 production period. Data related to energy inputs (EI) and outputs (EO) were gathered in cherry cultivation. They were then usaged to reveal the EB and GHG in the process. According to the results of the study, EI in cherry cultivation were 8 141.40 MJ/ha (57.04%) chemical fertilizers energy, 3 575.69 (25.05%) diesel fuel energy, 1 186.02 (8.31%) machinery energy, 469.80 (3.29%) electricity energy, 366.25 (2.57%) human labour energy, 290.30 (2.03%) irrigation water energy, 231.30 (1.62%) chemicals energy and 13.20 MJ/ha (0.09%) lime energy, respectively. Total input energy was computed to be 14 273.96 MJ/ha while output energy was found to be 29 593 MJ/ha. Energy utilization efficiency (EUE), specific energy (SE), energy productivity (EP) and net energy (NE) values were found as 2.07, 1.41 MJ/kg, 0.71 kg/MJ and 15 319.04 MJ/ha, respectively. The total energy inputs that were involved in cherry cultivation were categorized as: 32.94% (4 702.04 MJ/ha) direct (IE), 67.06% (9 571.92 MJ/ha) indirect (IDE), 4.60% (656.55 MJ/ha) renewable (RE) and 95.40% (13 617.41 MJ/ha) non-renewable (NRE). Total GHG emission was computed as 550.71 kgCO2eq/ha for cherry cultivation with the greatest share for diesel fuel (31.82%). GHG ratio value was computed as 0.05 kgCO2eq/kg in cherry cultivation.

Authors: Aliev Bagomed , Murtazaev Arsen , Musayeva Salihat
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the historiographical analysis of the information contained in the work of the German scientist Adam Olearius: “Description of the journey to Muscovy and through Muscovy to Persia and back”, which characterize various aspects of the life of the peoples of Dagestan in the 30s of the 17th century. The analysis of the material shows that the information contained in his work needs careful study and interpretation, since many of his postulates do not correspond to reality. The authors come to the conclusion that despite the inaccuracies, the objectivity of many information on various issues of the history of Dagestan, the work of A. Olearius as a whole is of great interest to scientists studying the history of the Dagestan Middle Ages.

Authors: Munadi Laode Muh.
Published: June 2024

This study aims to determine the profile of the farming business, the maintenance of Kampung chickens, and the marketing of Kampung chickens at Alisa Farm. The study was conducted from May to June 2023, located at the Alisa Farm Kampung chicken business in Alebo Village, Konda District, South Konawe Regency. The research location was determined purposively (purposive sampling), and the respondents in this study were the owners of the Alisa Farm Kampung chicken business in Alebo Village, Konda District. The data analysis used in this study is descriptive qualitative analysis and marketing margin analysis. The research variables observed include the technical management of Kampung chicken maintenance, the marketing chain, and the marketing margin. The results of the study on Kampung chicken maintenance show that the maintenance system at Alisa Farm uses an intensive system, while the marketing results indicate that the marketing chain in the Alisa Farm Kampung chicken business consists of: Chain I: Farmer => End Consumer; and Chain II: Farmer => Retailer => End Consumer. The marketing margin in Chain II is IDR 10,000 per chicken, while there is no marketing margin in Chain I because no marketing institutions are involved.
Setting the Stage for the Inner Journey: Unraveling the Interplay of Contextual Factors and the Intensity of Ego-Dissolution in Naturalistic Psychedelic Experiences
Authors: Adamczyk Stanisław , Paczyńska Małgorzata , Ruban Anastasia , Szczypiński Jan , Bola Michał , Orlowski Paweł
Published: June 2024

Psychedelic substances have the potential to induce profound alterations in cognition, emotionality, and sensory perception. The quality and intensity of these subjective effects exhibit high intra- and inter-individual variability, which can potentially be accounted for by the variability in contexts in which psychedelics are used. Therefore, the aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate how contextual factors - both internal and external - are related to the subjective intensity of psychedelic experiences. Participants filled an online survey and reported their motivations for past use of a given substance, frequency of use in different environments and social contexts. Additionally participants filled the Ego Dissolution Inventory to evaluate the intensity of past ego-dissolution experiences. Robust linear regression analysis was performed on data from 862 psychedelic users (701 used LSD and 553 used psilocybin mushrooms) and revealed that participants consuming psychedelics for spiritual or self-healing purposes reported more intense ego-dissolution experiences, while those reporting curiosity as a motivation reported less intense ego-dissolution effects. However, the social context and physical environment did not exhibit robust associations with the reported ego-dissolution, suggesting that setting might not account for ego-dissolution in naturalistic users, or that its impact is more complex or nuanced. Therefore, our study improves understanding of how contextual factors are related to the acute psychedelic experiences in naturalistic context, and thus could contribute to improving harm reduction strategies and optimizing psychedelic-assisted therapies.
ParAcT-DDM: A diffusion-based framework for modelling systematic, time-varying cognitive processes
Authors: Alister Manikya
Published: June 2024

As people engage in tasks over extended periods, their psychological states systematically change due to factors, such as practice, learning, and/or boredom. However, the dominant frameworks for modelling cognitive processes – such as evidence accumulation models – only consider a single estimate of a process across the duration of an experiment, with the justification often being that these changes are not of interest, are likely minimal, and/or can be eliminated by experimental procedures such as practice blocks. Our study proposes, develops, and assesses the ParAcT-DDM framework: the parameters across time diffusion decision model – which unifies previous modelling efforts from practice and decision-making research. Specifically, our framework models time-varying changes to diffusion decision model parameters by assuming that rather than being constant across time, their estimates follow theoretically informed trial-varying or block-varying functions across time. Focusing on two diffusion model parameters – drift-rate (task efficiency) and threshold (caution) – and a large number of candidate time-varying functions, our simulation results suggest that most variants of the ParAcT-DDM framework display robust inference properties, both in terms of the key parameters being well identified, and the different variants being distinguishable from one another. Our empirical results show that ParAcT-DDM variants vastly outperform the standard diffusion model in three existing data sets, including one where participants completed a practice block before data began recording, suggesting that time-varying cognitive processes often occur in typical cognitive experiments, even when the experimental design explicitly tries to remove practice effects. Finally, we find that the existence of time-varying processes cause systematic biases in the parameter estimates of the standard diffusion model, suggesting that our ParAcT-DDM framework can be crucial to ensuring the robustness of inferences against time-varying changes, regardless of whether these changes are of direct interest.
Retention of emergent Korean vocabulary following foreign tact training and overlearning
Authors: Wooderson John R. , Bizo Lewis A. , Young Kirsty
Published: June 2024

Overlearning refers to the repeated practice of material beyond initial mastery (Dougherty & Johnston, 1996; Shibata et al., 2017). In this preliminary study, we evaluated the effects of overlearning on the retention of emergent intraverbal Korean vocabulary with five adults. The participants completed two training conditions (regular training and overlearning) involving tacting visual stimuli in Korean. In the overlearning condition, participants were set additional fluency criteria and continued to practice beyond the initial accuracy mastery criterion. Both conditions generated high levels of emergent intraverbal responding post-training; however, data indicated that retention of emergent relations was greater following overlearning.
Is Symptom Outcome the Whole Story? – A Multilevel Meta-Analysis of Systemic Therapy for Adults Including Family System Functioning
Authors: Braus Niels , Flückiger Christoph , Wichmann Johanna , Frankman Christian , Hunger Christina
Published: June 2024

Objective: Systemic Therapy conceives mental health symptoms in the context of social systems. Previous meta-analyses on Systemic Therapy focused on symptoms. This meta-analysis aims to focus on family system functioning while including all types of outcomes. Method: We conducted a systematic literature research in multiple databases (PsycInfo, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central). We included RCT-studies on adults with a psychiatric diagnoses, which compared Systemic Therapy with an active psychosocial control and reported family system functioning as outcome. The literature research resulted in twelve RCTs and 90 effect sizes. We conducted a random-effects three-level meta-analysis. We categorized outcomes into: symptoms of patients, family system functioning, further secondary outcomes of patients and psychopathology of family members. Results: The results show a small significant overall effect size of g =. 22 (CI: .10-.34 , p<.001) for all outcomes. Systemic Therapy revealed small effect sizes with regard to family system functioning (g = .27, p = .0004, k = 26, s = 12), symptoms (g = .19, p =.0097, k = 24, s = 10), and further secondary outcomes (g = .26, z= 3.51, p = .0005, k = 32, s = 8). The effect sizes for psychopathology of family system members were reported rarely (k = 8, s = 5).Conclusion: This meta-analysis shows the potential relevance of investigating system functioning as a primary outcome for systemic therapy.
Bridging the Gap on the Bridge: Seafarers' Tasks and Decision-Making with DSS in Energy-Efficient Route Planning
Authors: Zoubir Mourad , Gruner Marthe , Heidinger Jan , Schwarz Benjamin , Jetter Hans-Christian , Franke Thomas
Published: June 2024

Closing energy efficiency gaps in shipping to support climate goals requires understanding seafarers' operations during energy-efficient route planning (EERP) and their preferences for assistive technology. We developed a Hierarchical Task Analysis informed by international guidelines and expert interviews (Study 1, N = 3), and assessed key tasks regarding expectancy-value-cost ratings by nautical officers (S2, N = 65) through online surveys. Seafarers rated tasks such as tidal- and weather routing highest for energy efficiency, despite associated costs. We further evaluated psychological need satisfaction at work and preferences for human versus automated control in EERP. Autonomy satisfaction was rated significantly lower than other needs, and seafarers prefered automated information processing, but human control over decision selection. Finally, we conducted interviews using the Critical Decision Method with seafarers (S3, N = 22) after EERP with a Decision Support System on a professional ship-bridge simulator. Interviews revealed the complexity of balancing goals, especially safety, and highlighted practical experience as a crucial factor in route planning and system use. All studies underlined that effective support requires high transparency and controllability of system information and functions. Our research emphasizes the importance of understanding seafarers' perceptions of energy-efficient operations and closely integrating automated support into existing processes.
Tight Culture Facilitates Animal Reminder Disgust: Semantic Computation and Experimental Evidence
Authors: tan haoyuan , Wei Jingwen
Published: June 2024

Human societies usually believe that there is an essential difference between humans and animals, and are disgusted by their own animal nature, which is known as animal reminder disgust. Animal reminder disgust has fueled the human quest for a world of higher meaning and is the foundation upon which the worldview of human culture has been built. Combining large-scale corpus analysis with experimental methods, this study found that tight culture (strong social norms) enhanced animal reminder disgust. Study 1 analyzed a corpus of English from the past two centuries using the Word Embedding Association Test method, it was found that people in tighter decades are more inclined to consider greater differences between humans and animals i.e. humans are pure and animals are impure. Studies 2 manipulated perceptions of cultural tightness, and showed that tight culture increased animal reminder disgust by raising requirements for purity. These results demonstrate how culture shapes human perceptions of themselves and explain some cultural phenomena in human societies, such as why religions typically emphasize the distinction between humans and animals.
From Gatsby to crumbs, material and immaterial responses to infrastructural precarity
Authors: Silva Laura , Bonomi Bezzo Franco
Published: June 2024

This article focuses on how conditions of infrastructural precarity, concretely expressed by scheduled interruptions of power, affect both political trust and civic solidarity in three areas of the Southern suburbs of Cape Town, characterised by different ethnic and socio-economic characteristics. Leveraging in-depth interviews with residents, we unveil how experiences of prolonged electricity shortage are affecting dynamics of civic solidarity heterogeneously across social classes and races (Gatsby society), while homogenously disenfranchising citizens from politics and government (crumbs society). Under this perspective this paper emphasizes how infrastructural scarcity can result, at the same time, in the creation of material publics and immaterial apathy.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the patient's demographic, clinical and laboratory data to determine whether the bacteria isolated from wound cultures are causative agents or colonization, and to determine their antimicrobial susceptibilities.
Materials and methods: This research was conducted in XXXX between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Two hundred thirty six isolates from 186 patients wound cultures were included in the study. Demographic data, clinical data and laboratory results of the patients were evaluated. The isolated bacteria and their antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined. The Q score system was used to evaluate the microbiological quality of wound samples.
Results: One hundred fifty nine cases (85%) were inpatients. Totally 119 (63.9%) patients were diagnosed with infection. The Q score for 136 samples (85.5%) was assessed as Q3. The most common isolated microorganisms were coagulase negative-staphylococci (CoNS) (19%), E.coli (14.8%), and S.aureus (13.1%), respectively in wound bacterial cultures. The methicillin resistance rate was 55.5% in CoNS and 54.1% in S.aureus. Gram-negative bacteria were isolated in 81 (59.9%) infected patients. Among the infected patients, 39 (32.7%) patients had surgical site infections, 25 (21%) prosthesis infections, and diabetic foot infections 3 (2.5%). Infection rates were statistically significantly higher in patients with surgery, prosthesis, and diabetic foot (p=0.054).
Conclusion: In conclusion, Q score is a strong marker in diagnosing wound infection and excluding colonization and helps prevent unnecessary antibiotic use. Local antibiotic susceptibility data should be examined up-to-date in the empirical treatment of special patient groups such as oncological patients.
Ça a l’air synthétique bonjour hi
Authors: Emeç Burcu , Martini Michael , Weng Nien Tzu , Hy Roxa
Published: June 2024

Coming from different artistic and cultural backgrounds in theatre, dance, and media arts, Burcu Emeç, Michael Martini, Nien Tzu Weng, and Roxa Hy zoom in on labour, constructed intimacy, and consent within participation in their transdisciplinary performance Ça a l’air synéthique bonjour hi. Considering the notion of participation in its broadest sense—such as in a community, an economy, and politics—what factors can encourage, discourage, or limit it? In order to explore these factors, the four artists turn to the model of a participatory performance. Realizing that many experiences of participatory art contain troubling, awkward, and often non-consensual elements, they interrogate how this form of performance can offer a parallel to larger questions about participation in an economic and political system.
If Not Democratic
Authors: Blenkarn Patrick
Published: June 2024

If someone says your work is democratic, what does that mean to you? And what does that mean for all the works you have made that no one has ever called democratic? This text reflects on participatory performance’s relationship to political forms of organization—from democracy to autocracy. The author has chosen to supply these reflections from within the context of his own body of work and collaborations, first reflecting on what it means to adopt democracy as a form and then pondering upon alternatives as provocations, from more established ‘classical’ forms to those that might be derived from the world around us. Laced through the text’s short sections is a refrain on what the author considers to be a tension between performance’s capacity to manifest a political system and the threat of politicality as a metaphor.
A Grown-Up’s Guide to Flying
Authors: Smythe Vanessa , Cushman Mitchell , Bottomley Nick
Published: June 2024

A Grown-Up’s Guide to Flying is one of three standalone escape room-inspired experiences featured in Outside the March’s 2019 production of The Tape Escape. Set in a completely immersive, period-perfect 1990s’ video rental store in the former Annex location of Toronto’s iconic Queen Video, the piece is experienced through a series of narrative escape room-style puzzles hidden among 5,000-plus VHS rentals. The audience follows Kelly as he plans a birthday treasure hunt for his movie-loving younger sister, all while navigating how we experience movies—and each other—when our sighted experience changes. The story was designed to be experienced by a group of up to four people at a time and ran approximately forty-five minutes. It began, as each of the “rental experiences” in The Tape Escape did, with the group being handed a VHS tape with a sticker on it that read “Watch Me.” A video store staff member would then guide the group to one of the store’s “TV-VCR viewing stations” where the group could pop in the tape and watch what, in this case, appeared to be a birthday video message. This article includes production stills and a script excerpt written by creators Vanessa Smythe, Mitchell Cushman, and Nick Bottomley with consultation from Blindness scholar and artist Devon Healey.
Freedom in the Invitation: Lilith & Cie’s Invisible
Authors: Pedron Aurélie , Casey Kathy
Published: June 2024

Lilith & Cie’s Invisible is a participatory durational dance piece that aims to “make the intelligence of the collective visible.” Invisible spans three consecutive days and features ten improvising dancers and a charming black dog. In May 2022 at Montreal’s OFFTA, the piece featured dancers Ariane Boulet, Rachel Harris, Emmanuel Jouthe, Abe Simon Mijnheer, Caroline Namts, Charlie Prince, Luce Lainé, Charles Brécard, Zoë Vos, and Silvia Sanchez. The following is an excerpt of a conversation between Invisible’s dramaturg Kathy Casey and choreographer Aurélie Pedron on how they structure the invitation to indirectly influence audience behaviour, balancing freedom with limits. Invisible is almost entirely guided by audience input, inviting participants to feed into the collaborative action and catalyze dancers through rearranging furniture and plants, DJing through our phones, changing the lighting, leafing through show records, or simply listening and witnessing in silence. In order to gently gesture toward both the expansiveness and limitations of this audience participation, Invisible begins when participants enter the show lobby and are presented with a board game and a deck of cards that offer a map and guide to the experience.
Voicing with Code in Public
Authors: Sengupta Pratim , Shanahan Marie-Claire
Published: June 2024

Voice Your Celebration was a public computing installation at Canada’s National Music Center, which offered a re-staging of computer code as a heterotopic form of participatory theatre. In the same way that the stage and the script can stand in between the audience on one hand, and actors and creators of a play on the other, in performances involving live digital art, pre-written code can also separate the coder and creators from the interacting audience. In this paper, we illustrate how Voice Your Celebration sought to address this divide by creating opportunities for the audience to become participants in the code itself by incorporating their voices and stories as integral parts of a widely used computational algorithm (Reynolds’s algorithm) for simulating flocking behaviour.

THE ROLE OF SELF-EDUCATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SKILLS OF FUTURE SOCIAL WORKERS
Authors: Liakisheva Anna
Published: June 2024

The article reveals the essence of self-education and its importance in the development of social skills in future social workers. We interpret the «soft skills» of the future social worker as his universal, super-professional skills (general competences), which provide him with harmonious adaptation in society and successful career growth. It was determined that the development of the «soft skills» of the future social worker involves an integrative qualitative change in the following components: social-communicative and cognitive skills, personality traits and qualities, and his emotional intelligence.We consider the self-education of the future social worker as an educational activity managed by him, the final result of which is the qualitative transformation of his personality, which involves the acquisition of a new system of knowledge and the development of his abilities in the spectrum of achieving professional and social competence.It has been proven that the way to the systematic and planned development of «soft skills» in future social workers lies in the plane of their continuous self-education. It was concluded that self-education is correlated with the development of social skills «soft skills» in future social workers. The more active self-education, the more effective social skills. At the same time, well-developed social skills are an important condition for effective self-education. An important task of the institution of higher education is to help the future social worker learn to independently develop an individual plan of his own self-education and at the same time construct a personal portfolio of social skills development.

SOCIAL WORK WITH VULNERABLE POPULATIONS UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Authors: Sakharuk Yuriy
Published: June 2024

The armed conflict in Ukraine has profoundly impacted its social services system, exacerbating the vulnerabilities of sensitive population groups such as the elderly, disabled, and children. These groups, already at a disadvantage, face heightened challenges and necessitate additional support amidst the turmoil. This study delves into the intricacies of social work tailored to these groups, particularly under the strain of martial law, with the dual objectives of understanding the specific nature of these challenges and formulating actionable strategies to bolster social security and support mechanisms.Employing a multifaceted methodological approach, this research incorporates a theoretical examination of pertinent scholarly literature, a detailed analysis of relevant legal and regulatory frameworks, and a review of reports from international bodies. Furthermore, it entails direct engagement with social workers on the ground, whose firsthand experiences provide invaluable insights into the practical realities faced by vulnerable populations in conflict zones.The findings of this study shed light on the theoretical underpinnings of social work with vulnerable demographics, elucidating how military conflicts uniquely affect these groups. By systematically monitoring the evolving needs of these populations and scrutinizing the most effective practices in social work within conflict settings, the research identifies critical gaps in the current support systems and offers evidence-based recommendations aimed at enhancing social services.The conclusion of this study emphasizes the practical applicability of the formulated social recommendations, advocating for the refinement of existing social work frameworks to better serve vulnerable groups under martial law. The proposed enhancements to social support and assistance programs are not merely theoretical but are designed for immediate implementation, with the potential to make a tangible difference in the lives of those most affected by the ongoing conflict.

The article, based on the analysis of theory and practice, characterizes the features of a child’s socialization in the conditions of a family-type orphanage.The peculiarity of the modern stage of society’s development, the contradictions of social relations, the negative effects on the social development of the individual require a deep rethinking of the mission of institutions for the socialization of children in order to create favorable conditions for their social development in modern realities.Today, questions regarding the practical implementation of provisions declared in state documents that define family policy in Ukraine remain partially unresolved. In particular, alternative forms of social protection and family arrangement for orphans – forms of care for children who for certain reasons cannot live with their biological parents (establishment of custody and care, placement in foster families, family-type children’s homes, foster families, children’s institutions with living conditions close to family ones (National strategy for reforming the system of institutional care and upbringing of children for 2017–2026).In modern realities, in conditions of priority attention to each child, one of the important tasks of the state family policy is to solve the problem of orphanhood. First of all, the social phenomenon of orphanhood violates one of the basic rights of the child – the right to family upbringing and parental care, proclaimed by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.The system of state guardianship of orphans and children deprived of parental care, created for decades, was oriented towards collective forms of child rearing. As a result, the format of social education (in particular, in traditional orphanages) has acquired a number of negative features, first of all, regarding the process of child socialization: children who grow up outside the family adapt much worse in society, as a rule, find it difficult to navigate the role hierarchy social ties, etc.Ukrainian and foreign experience of caring for orphans and children deprived of parental care show that it is family forms of care that are the most effective in various aspects – educational, social, economic.The development of family forms of upbringing, solving the problem of child socialization in the conditions of a family-type orphanage are topical interdisciplinary tasks of the state’s modern social policy, the need for a civilized society and human morality. The identified vital arguments determine the need to find and implement alternative measures and innovative approaches in family policy and the social sphere, which is the subject of further research.

One of the biggest challenges for our natural systems is climate change, which has a significant impact on the population and presents a range of risks to the population. The share of greenhouse gas emissions attributable to agriculture is about 15%, which is a significant indicator of the total amount. Carbon dioxide impacts the greenhouse effect significantly and results in global warming, prompting urgent attention to climate change concerns. In response, CO2 capture has emerged as a crucial process to capture carbon produced in industrial and power processes before its release into the atmosphere. The main aim of CO2 capture is to mitigate the emissions of greenhouse gas and reduce the anthropogenic impact on climate change. Agricultural emissions are gradually increasing into the atmosphere due to increased demand for food, fuel, fiber and other materials supplied by agriculture. At the same time, new technologies and agricultural practices are linked by the promise of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by the agricultural sector.
