Authors: Al-Thubaiti Yusra R.
Published: April 2020

The study aimed to identify the reality of using active learning strategies among secondary school female teachers of the Arabic language in Taif city. It also aimed to find out the significant differences according to the variables of qualification, years of experience and training courses. Two instruments were used in the study: a questionnaire and an observation. Both were used on a sample of 32 female teachers at secondary governmental schools. A one sample t-test and Mann Whitney were used. The results of the study revealed that the degree of using active strategies among female teachers was low; the role of the educational supervisor in encouraging female teachers to use active learning strategies was medium, and the degree of difficulties of using active learning strategies was large. Additionally, the findings indicated that there were no significant differences in using active strategies attributed to the variables of qualification and training courses, whereas there was a significant difference in using active strategies attributed to the variable of experience in favor of teachers who have more than 10 years of experience. However, there were no significant differences in the role of the educational supervisor and the degree of difficulties in using active learning strategies attributed to the variables of the study.

Authors: Aburezeq Ibtehal M.
Published: April 2020

This study aimed to investigate the impact of the participatory video on the development of the Arabic speaking skills of 9th-grade students. It also aimed to identify students’ attitudes towards the participatory video as an instructional tool. A total of 136 male and female students participated in the study who were selected by using the convenience sampling method from two governmental schools in Amman, Jordan. Then, the students were distributed randomly into a control group taught by the conventional method of teaching and an experimental group taught by the participatory video. A speaking test was developed to measure students’ performance in the Arabic speaking skills and a questionnaire was developed to identify their attitudes. The study revealed that there were significant differences in the performance of Arabic speaking skills between the two groups in favor of the participatory video group. Results also showed that students demonstrated a positive attitude towards the use of the participatory video as an instructional tool to improve their speaking skills.
Antibacterial Activity of the Original Dietary Supplement Oxidal® in Vitro
Authors: Popova Prof. Teodora P.
Published: April 2020

Studies have been conducted to determine the antibacterial effect of Oxidal® and anolyte against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The bacterial strains tested showed high sensitivity to the dietary supplement Oxidal® and to anolyte, as well as to the control antibiotic Thiamphenicol. The mean MPC50 values of Oxidal® for Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus (0.21 ± 0.13 mg/ml) were lower than those for Gram-negative E. coli (0.55 ± 0.24 mg/ml). The dose that fully suppressed S. aureus growth was 0.86 ± 0.52 mg/ml, while for E. coli this dose was significantly higher - 2.40 ± 0.80 mg/ml (P<0.05). For the antibiotic Thiamphenicol, the results were opposite - the mean MPC50 values for E. coli (2.40 ± 0.80) were lower than those for S. aureus (3.71 ± 2.86). Under the influence of 10% Oxidal® solution, the amount of viable S. aureus and E. coli decreased by more than 30% over the untreated control after 20 min. After 45 minutes, only 37% of S. aureus cells and 19% of E. coli cells developed upon cultivation, and after 90 minutes of exposure, about 20% of the cells of the microorganisms understudy of both species remained viable. The fresh anolyte and the one stored for 1 year inactivated S. aureus and E. coli for 2 min in a suspension at a density of 106 cells/ml.
THE SUPPORTIVE ROLE OF SCHOOL MANAGEMENT ON THE WORK SATISFACTION OF MALE TEACHERS IN A SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOL DISTRICT
Authors: Triegaardt Dr Paul , Hugo Jean-Pierre
Published: April 2020

The paper focused on a specific research group (male teachers); firstly because of the shortage of male teachers in South African schools, and secondly, because male teachers are more dissatisfied in their overall work environment than female teachers. This study aimed to investigate, from an educational management perspective, the factors that influence job satisfaction amongst male teachers in schools in a sampled school district in Mpumalanga province. Throughout the study, it became apparent that male teachers are more likely to leave the South African education system than their female counterparts. A quantitative research approach was used to investigate factors affecting job satisfaction amongst male teachers distributing Likert-scale questionnaires amongst male teachers in selected schools in the district. The results of the study provide an outline of the crises that teachers in South Africa schools are facing, while the statistics and information portrayed in this study help to paint a picture of their work environment. A shortage of teachers, increasing learner enrolment and work overload are enough to create a highly stressful profession. Aspects identified as factors that affect job satisfaction amongst male teachers are the professional development of teachers, capacity building of teachers through collaboration and teamwork, effective support systems to teachers by management, workload of teachers, effective leadership of the principal, effective management of learner behaviour, positive work experiences by teachers, emotional distress of teachers and positive feelings towards teaching as a profession.

Published: April 2020

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia arising from deregulation in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The current synthetic drugs have dose-dependent side effects which confined their uses. The phytochemicals are the natural compounds that have better therapeutic efficacy and interacts synergistically with oral hypoglycemic drugs. The addition of phytochemicals with OHDs may reduce the dose of synthetic drugs as well as their side effects and toxicity. A detailed outline about such combinations like Ferulic acid & THZ/Metformin, Ellagic acid & Pioglitazone (THZ), Chlorogenic acid & THZ/Metformin, Caffeic acid & THZ/Metformin, eugenol acid & THZ/Metformin, cinnamic acid & THZ/Metformin, p- coumaric acid & THZ/Metformin, Arecoline &Vanillic acid with the THZ/ Metformin have been illustrated. This review has also discussed the synergy and mechanism of phytochemical with the OHDs to combat hyperglycemia and other risk associated with it. A comprehensive review was conducted to pile up the information about polyphenols & synthetic drug combinations used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, which has been carried out in-vitro or in-vivo and may contribute to identifying novel strategies in the treatment of T2D condition. This review shows the importance of the responsible bioactive agents present in medicinal plants in the drive to demonstrate their antidiabetic effects.

Published: April 2020

Water is the most important source of life and ground water may contain varying levels of radioactivity. So it is therefore important to measure radon concentration in ground water for public health and radiation protection. In this study, radon concentration was measured in ground water samples collected from water pumps of different locations at Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Twenty ground water samples were collected in July 2017to April 2018 for radon level measurement. Radon detector RAD7 (manufactured by Durridge Company, USA) with RAD H2O technique was used for the measurement. The highest radon concentration was found 13.00±0.70 Bq/L for the pump of sample ID GW1 and the lowest radon concentration 2.13±0.593 Bq/L for the pump of sample ID GW10.The activity concentration of radon in maximum water samples in Dhaka city was lower than the value 11.1 Bq/L recommended by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The radon concentration was lowered from the activity concentration before storage. The highest value of annual effective dose for radon in ground water was found 0.04745 mSv/y According to recommendation of World Health Organization, the annual effective dose level for radon in drinking water is 0.1 mSv/y. These results indicate that there is no probability of health hazards for public due to presences of radon in ground water and it is safe for consumption.

Who Can Work from Home?
Authors: Yasenov Vasil
Published: April 2020

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many states have adopted stay-at-home orders, rendering a large segment of the workforce unable to continue doing their jobs. These policies have distributional consequences, as workers in some occupations may be better able to continue their work from home. I identify the segments of the U.S. workforce that can plausibly work from home by linking occupation data from O*NET to the American Community Survey. I find that lower-wage workers are up to three times less likely to be able to work from home than higher-wage workers. Those with lower levels of education, younger adults, ethnic minorities, and immigrants are also concentrated in occupations that are less likely to be performed from home.

Published: April 2020

Background: Decontaminating and re-using filtering facepiece respirators (FFR) for healthcare workers is a potential solution to address inadequate FFR supply during a global pandemic.Aim: The objective of this review was to synthesize existing data on the effectiveness and safety of using chemical disinfectants to decontaminate N95 FFR. Methods: We conducted a systematic review on disinfectants to decontaminate N95 FFRs using Embase, Medline, Global Health, Google Scholar, WHO feed, and MedRxiv. Two reviewers independently determined study eligibility and extracted and verified predefined data fields. Original research reporting on N95 FFR function, decontamination, physical appearance, safety, or mask fit following decontamination with a disinfectant was included. Findings and Conclusions: A single cycle of vaporized hydrogen peroxide successfully removes infectious pathogens without affecting mask function or fit, and with little change in FFR physical appearance. Residual hydrogen peroxide levels following decontamination were below the safety limit. More than one decontamination cycle of vaporized hydrogen peroxide may be possible but further information is required on how multiple cycles would affect mask fit in a real world setting before the upper limit can be established. Although immersion in liquid hydrogen peroxide does not appear to adversely affect mask function, there is no available data on its ability to remove infectious pathogens from FFRs or its impact on mask fit. Sodium hypochlorite, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol and EtO are not recommended due to safety concerns or negative effects on mask function.
Rationing Social Contact During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Transmission Risk and Social Benefits of US Locations
Authors: Benzell Seth G. , Collis Avinash , Nicolaides Christos
Published: April 2020

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, some types of stores and gathering places have been shut down while others remain open. The decision to shut down one type of location and leave another open constitutes a judgement about the relative danger and benefits of those locations. Using location data from a large sample of smartphones, nationally representative consumer preference surveys, and government statistics, we measure the relative transmission risk benefit and social cost of closing about thirty different location categories in the US. Our categories include types of shops, entertainments, and public spaces. Our main analysis ranks twenty-six categories by those which should face stricter regulation via dominance across eight dimensions of risk and importance and through composite indexes. We find that from February to March, there were larger declines in visits to locations that our measures imply should be closed first. We hope this analysis will help policymakers decide how to reopen their economies.
data sRisky Sexual Behaviors and Associated Factors among High school students in Ethiopia. A systematic review and Meta-Analysis, 2019 Kassahun Gebeyehu Yazew1*, Tadele Amare zeleke2, Nigusie Birhan Tebeje3preadsheet
Authors: Gebeyehu Kassahun
Published: April 2020

AbstractsBackground: Risky sexual behavior conceptualized as any behavior associated with sexual contact. That predisposes youths to several sexual and reproductive health problems. Like sexually transmitted infections, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, unwanted pregnancy, and abortion. Worldwide this problem is becoming prevalent. However, Meta-analysis of the risky sexual behavior among high school students in Ethiopia was not previously done. Objective: The main aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate the pooled prevalence of risky sexual behavior and determine associated factors among high school students in Ethiopia.Method: Data was extracted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Studies were accessed through electronic web-based searches. Such as PsycINFO, PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, and EMBASE from April 01, 2019 to June 29, 2019. All statistical analyses were done using Stata version 11 and a random-effects model. Result: A total of 36 studies with 22,524 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The overall pooled estimate prevalence of the risky sexual behavior among high school students in Ethiopia was 28.13 %. According to subgroup analysis, the estimated pooled prevalence of risky sexual behavior was in Diredewa 48.07% (CI 2.08, 93.35). Followed by the Oromia region 34.16% (95% CI 25.85, 42.46).Conclusion: This meta-analysis revealed that risky sexual behavior was relatively high. Being male gender, alcohol use, peer pressure, not living with family and observing pornographic videos were found to be significantly associated with risky sexual behavior. So, responsible stakeholders should pay attention to minimize those risky sexual behaviors. That is through a diversity of avenues and campaigns. To improve students their sexual and reproductive health-seeking behavior. Study protocol registration: It is a registered database: (CRD42019144673).Keywords:- Risky sexual behavior, high school students, sexual practice, Ethiopia
Antipsychotics modulate the expression of the 5’ ecto-nucleotidase NT5E (CD73) in the brains of patients with schizophrenia.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2020

Antipsychotic medications are used in patients with schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders to control positive symptoms (1, 2). Positive symptoms include hallucinations - seeing or hearing things that are not present, and delusions - fixed false beliefs (3). The use of antipsychotics was fortuitously arrived at in this patient population (4) and though it is understood which receptor subtypes are pharmacologically modulated by these drugs (5, 6, 7) there is still a lack of understanding regarding the specific therapeutic mechanism, at the level of gene expression, by which they exert their function (7, 8, 9). By mining a published microarray dataset (10), we found that the 5’ ecto-nucleotidase NT5E, also known as CD73, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the dorsolateral frontal cortex (DLPFC) of patients with schizophrenia as compared to the DLPFC of control subjects. Analysis of a separate public dataset (11) revealed that schizophrenic patients treated with antipsychotics possessed significantly increased mRNA expression of NT5E in the deep pyramidal neurons when compared to the deep pyramidal neurons of control subjects. This phenomena appeared to be a specific effect of antipsychotic treatment as we could not detect differential expression of NT5E in untreated psychotic patients. These data reveal significantly increased expression of NT5E in the brains of patients with psychotic disorders and suggest that NT5E is a direct target of antipsychotic medications.

Integration of Solar dryer with a Hybrid system of Gasifier- Solid Oxide Fuel Cell/Gas Turbine: Performance Analysis
Authors: Safari Sadegh , Ghasedi Amir Hossein , Ozgoli Hassan Ali
Published: April 2020

A novel approach is presented to reduce the moisture content of biomass by employing a solar dryer. The impact of decreasing moisture contents on the key parameters of the system is investigated. Also, the effect of air mass flux on drying rate of biomass is evaluated and discussed considering three alternative air mass flux rates as well as two different time periods for drying and discharging biomass, namely 15 and 30 minutes. Results demonstrate that by reducing the moisture of biomass, power output and efficiency of the hybrid system have been improved from 265 kW and 30% efficiency up to 295 kW and 57.6% respectively. The best efficiency performance of system is achieved by the 15 minutes drain time and air mass flux of 0.011 kgm^(-2) s^(-1), while the best power generation of the system will be obtained by the 30 minutes drain time and air mass flux of 0.011 kgm^(-2) s^(-1).
BREED - A Problem Solving Bionic Design Methodology
Authors: Vaidyanathan Rohith , Fattepur Gururaj , Guttal Ravi
Published: April 2020

Bionic designs which have evolved from time-tested strategies of nature have beena source of inspiration for designers to solve problems. The beauty of nature’s formis derived from effective evolution and robustness of its function. Current bionicdesign methods are analogical and hence are discordant to the design engineeringworkflow. In this paper, a methodology is proposed which suggests suitable bionicstructures to a given design space. The methodology consists of the following stageswhich are Bionic representation, Relation, Emulation, Engineering specifications,Design verification and optimisation (BREED) and finally realization. Thismethodology aims to function as a systematic problem-solving approach to retrievestructural inspirations from nature and mimic its form. The methodology alsointegrates biological inputs to the context of an engineering design problem.Inspiration and validation phases of the bionic structure are represented as a V-model. The designer can leverage this framework to come up with novel bionicdesign concepts. A structural dome is used as a case study to demonstrate theprocedure of BREED methodology. Biological forms for the dome are obtainedusing a spectral matching technique. The bionic design is validated after applyingrelevant boundary conditions and by using proven engineering methods.
Analyzing nonresponse in longitudinal surveys using Bayesian additive regression trees: A nonparametric event history analysis
Authors: Zinn Sabine , Gnambs Timo
Published: April 2020

Increasing nonresponse rates are a pressing issue for many longitudinal panel studies. Respondents frequently either refuse participation in single survey waves (temporary dropout) or discontinue participation altogether (permanent dropout). Contemporary statistical methods that are used to elucidate predictors of survey nonresponse are typically limited to small variable sets and ignore complex interaction patterns. The innovative approach of Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) is an elegant way to overcome these limitations because it does not specify a parametric form for the relationship between the outcome and its predictors. We present a BART event history analysis that allows identifying predictors for different types of nonresponse to anticipate response rates for upcoming survey waves. We apply our novel method to data from the German National Educational Panel study including N = 4,559 students in grade 5 that observed nonresponse rates of up to 36% across five waves. A cross-validation and comparison with logistic regression models with LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) penalization underline the advantages of the approach. Our results highlight the potential of Bayesian discrete time event modeling for the long-term projection of panel stability across multiple survey waves. Finally, potential applications of this approach for operational use in survey management are outlined.
On the dynamics emerging from pandemics and infodemics
Authors: Leitner Stephan
Published: April 2020

This position paper discusses emerging behavioral, social, and economic dynamics related to the COVID-19 pandemic and puts particular emphasis on two emerging issues: First, delayed effects (or second strikes) of pandemics caused by dread risk effects are discussed whereby two factors which might influence the existence of such effects are identified, namely the accessibility of (mis-)information and the effects of policy decisions on adaptive behavior. Second, the issue of individual preparedness to hazardous events is discussed. As events such as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds complex behavioral patterns which are hard to predict, sophisticated models which account for behavioral, social, and economic dynamics are required to assess the effectivity and efficiency of decision-making.
Multimodal Comprehension in Left Hemisphere Stroke Patients
Authors: Vigliocco Gabriella , Krason Anna , Stoll Harrison , Monti Alessandro , Buxbaum Laurel
Published: April 2020

Hand gestures, imagistically related to the content of speech, are ubiquitous in face-to-face communication. In the first study with people with aphasia (PWA) investigating speech-gesture processing in the brain using lesion-symptom mapping, we investigated the brain regions as well as the lexical-semantic and gesture recognition abilities associated with benefits and costs of multimodal speech-gesture input. Twenty-nine PWA and 16 matched controls were shown a picture of an object/action and then a video-clip of a speaker producing speech-gesture pairs (congruent/incongruent) or only speaking or gesturing. Their task was to indicate, in different blocks, whether the picture and the word matched (Speech task), or whether the picture and the gesture matched (Gesture task). Multivariate lesion analysis with Support Vector Regression Lesion Symptom Mapping (SVR-LSM) showed that benefit for congruent speech-gesture was associated with 1) lesioned voxels in anterior fronto-temporal regions including inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), and sparing of posterior temporal cortex and lateral temporal-occipital regions (pTC/LTO) for the Speech task, and 2) conversely, lesions to pTC/LTO and sparing of anterior regions for the Gesture task. The two tasks did not share overlapping voxels. Costs from incongruent speech-gesture pairings were associated with lesioned voxels in these same anterior (for the Speech task) and posterior (for the Gesture task) regions, but crucially, also shared voxels in superior and middle temporal gyri, including the anterior temporal lobe. These results suggest that IFG and pTC/LTO contribute to extracting semantic information from speech or gesture respectively; however, they are not causally involved in integrating information from the two modalities. In contrast, regions in anterior STG/MTG are associated with performance in both tasks and may thus be critical to speech-gesture integration. These conclusions are further supported by associations between benefits/costs specific to each task and performance in tests assessing lexical-semantic processing and gesture recognition.
Further Thoughts on the Location where Narmer probably Buried

Published: April 2020

In my point of view, the construction technique of mortise-and-tenon joinery in China may come from Egypt. And we can get a hypothesis that Narmer (Yu the Great) may use the Egyptian boats to come to Zhejiang, China (中国浙江). Besides, in my point of view, the single-log coffin in the Royal Mausoleum of Yue Kingdom on the Seal Mount resembles Abydos boats in meaning and shape. By the way, from the remains of Narmer (Yu the Great) in China and Japan, it can further prove hyperdiffusionism from Egypt by Grafton Elliot Smith. Besides, a series of conclusions can be drawn from the comparative study of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyph characters and ancient Chinese characters: the hieroglyph name of eighth nome of Upper Egypt is the Chinese character Ji(冀). The ancient Abydos city is the Yang (阳) city which was the capital of Chinese recorded several Emperors, Yao (Iry-Hor/Ro), Shun (Ka/Sekhen), Yu (Narmer). Furthermore, we can get a conclusion that Double Phoenixes Greeting the Sun in the archway in Yu mausoleum (大禹陵) resembles winged sun disk symbol in Egypt in meaning and shape. By the way, in my point of view, wupeng boat(乌篷船) resembles the unique and striking black boat of Tomb 100, the oldest tomb with painted decoration on its plaster walls at Nekhen. So in this paper and the previous paper the Location where Narmer probably buried, I can get a hypothesis that Yu(Narmer) chose Fanshan (反山) as his tomb at first , but died while on a hunting tour to the eastern frontier of his empire, so the fleet used the wood pile to fasten the Wupeng boat(乌篷船), and used the Wupeng boat(乌篷船) to carry the body of Narmer(Yu the Great), used Burying Stones(窆石) to bury him in Yu mausoleum (大禹陵) , Mount Kuaiji (会稽山) , south of present-day Shaoxing (绍兴).
How Right-Leaning Media Coverage of COVID-19 Facilitated the Spread of Misinformation in the Early Stages of the Pandemic

Published: April 2020

In recent weeks, several academic and journalistic outlets have documented widespread misinformation about the origins and potential treatment for COVID-19. This misinformation could have important public health consequences if misinformed people are less likely to heed the advice of public health experts. While some have anecdotally tied the prevalence of misinformation to misleading or inaccurate media coverage of the pandemic in its early stages, few have rigorously tested this claim empirically. In this paper, we report the results of an automated content analysis showing that right-leaning news outlets (e.g., Fox News, Breitbart) were more than 2.5 times more likely than mainstream outlets to discuss COVID-19 misinformation during the early stages of the U.S. pandemic response. In a nationally representative survey (N = 8,914) conducted from 3/10-3/16, we then show that people who consumed more right-leaning news during this timeframe were more than twice as likely to endorse COVID-related misinformation. Alarmingly, survey data further suggest that misinformation endorsement has negative public health consequences, as misinformed people are more likely to believe that the CDC is exaggerating COVID-related health risks.

Since death rates from the COVID-19 are highest among the oldest, the impact of the current pandemic in a given society depends to a large extent on the share of elderly persons and their living arrangements. Whereas the former is well known, the latter is not. Arguably, contagion itself and the severity of its symptoms are likely to vary among elderly persons living alone, co-residing with family members or dwelling in institutions. Arguments in favour and against the premise that single-living elderly are better able to self-isolate can be made. Long-term care facilities have worsened the effects of the epidemic because they have often become death traps in some but not all countries. Once contagion takes place, living arrangements can make a huge difference in the way the disease can be managed by the individual, his family and society. Properly understanding the dynamics of contagion and the handling of the disease in terms of living arrangements of elderly people is essential for effectively tackling future outbreaks of similar epidemics.
Multilateral aid to the rescue? Sectoral fragmentation of bilateral development aid and the role of the World Bank
Authors: Steinwand Martin C. , Reinsberg Bernhard
Published: April 2020

Bilateral aid projects continue to proliferate in an uncoordinated fashion, leading to fragmented aid delivery. In this paper, we explore the role of the World Bank in promulgating best practices and enhancing sectoral coordination among bilateral donors. We concentrate on sectoral aid allocations and identify possible venues through which the World Bank can affect bilateral donor behavior and increase allocative efficiency, including as Lead Partner, Balancer, and by leading by example through Best Practices. Based on project-level data from 1998 to 2013, we find that bilateral donors and the World Bank allocate projects in a complementary fashion across most sectors, with the exception of the Finance and Trade sectors. Furthermore, World Bank and bilateral project numbers move together and there is some evidence that bilateral donors emulate World Bank behavior. There is very limited evidence that World Bank activities help to reduce bilateral aid fragmentation.
Looking East 2 (East Asia/Australasia)
Authors: Ladwig Walter
Published: April 2020

India’s role in the broader Asia-Pacific region is not one that is widely recognized—even by some regional specialists. For example, in a recent academic text on the politics of the region, India merits only a few passing references and is described merely as a country that ‘interacts with the Asia-Pacific in various ways’.1 Although it would be a significant mistake to overlook or discount the role that India is playing in this region, such omissions are somewhat understandable. From a geographic standpoint, India does not border the Pacific Ocean and it is only through its far-flung Nicobar and Andaman island territories that it is even adjacent to the key maritime choke points linking the Indian and Pacific Oceans. For those who narrowly conceive of East Asia stretching in an arc from Myanmar to Japan on the basis of race or a mythical quasi- Confucian culture, India would not appear to ‘belong’. In terms of security linkages, India has traditionally had little involvement with either of the two key security issues in the region: the China–Taiwan dispute and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (North Korea) quest for nuclear weapons. Finally, from an economic standpoint, at present India’s economic linkages with the region do not approach the depth or breadth that the nations of East Asia and Australasia have among themselves. While all of these factors may appear to be good reasons for not considering India’s role in the region, to do so would be a mistake. A steadily expanding economy, paired with a growing partnership with key regional actors, is positioning India to have a dynamic impact on the emerging economic and security architecture of the Asia- Pacific.
Automation fears: drivers and solutions

New technologies offer employers the ability to replace tasks done by human labour with those done by machines. There are challenges for both employers and employees, as employers look for strategies for the implementation of automation technologies and employees may have concerns about their employment being threatened by automation technologies. In this research, we analyse data of over 500 Bulgarians to learn about how they perceive the automation of their job. The analysis finds that there are segments of the population defined by demographics and attitudes that are more fearful of the automation of their jobs than others. Additionally, we see that attitudes towards the dehumanizing effects of automation, peer-pressure, job automatability, and a person’s self-perception of professionalism are the main drivers of the fear of automation. Finally, the paper evaluates respondents’ attitudes towards various individual, corporate and social solutions to automation fears.
Aid Targeting in Post Conflict Nepal
Authors: Binetti Marco , Steinwand Martin C.
Published: April 2020

International aid is vital for reconstruction in post-conflict societies. It also plays an important role in distributional politics, as aid can redress grievances underlying the conflict. We study the political underpinnings of aid allocations during Nepal's post-conflict transition. The former rebel party, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), CPN(M), enjoyed a surprise victory in the country's first post-war elections. We seek to answer the question whether aid allocations were sensitive to this electoral success, or instead rewarded the narrower support base of the rebels during the civil war. We construct a geo-coded dataset of municipal-level aid allocations, civilians killed by the government as proxy for rebel support, voting results in the 2008 post-war elections, and various controls for civil war destruction and economic need. Using the location of Nepalese army barracks prior to the conflict as instrument for civilians killed by the government, we can show that rebel support significantly increased post-war aid allocations, especially in infrastructure aid. In contrast, voting for the CPN(M) did not.
Data (il)literacy education as a hidden curriculum of the datafication of education
Authors: Mertala Pekka
Published: April 2020

This position paper uses the concept of “hidden curriculum” as a heuristic device to analyze everyday data-related practices in formal education. Grounded in a careful reading of the theoretical literature, this paper argues that the everyday data-related practices of contemporary education can be approached as functional forms of data literacy education: deeds with unintentional educational consequences for students’ relationships with data and datafication. More precisely, this paper suggests that everyday data-related practices represent data as cognitive authority and naturalize the routines of all-pervading data collection. These routines lead to what is here referred to as “data (il)literacy”—an uncritical, one-dimensional understanding of data and datafication. Since functional data (il)literacy education takes place subconsciously, it can be conceptualized as a form of hidden curriculum, an idea that refers to lessons taught and learned but not consciously intended to be so.
A new idea for assessing mobile phone addiction
Authors: Das Anwesha
Published: April 2020

Objective:Internet / mobile phone addiction has become a major concern in today’s world. Current diagnosis methods are based on questionnaire survey. This typically involves asking the person concerned around 15-30 questions. Each response is allotted a specific score, and the range in which the final sum of the scores lies is used to determine his/ her level of addiction. These tests assume that the respondent is answering the questions honestly and that he/she has an exact idea about his/ her usage durations. In the present work, the validity of these assumptions is questioned.Methods: Mobile phone usage is considered as a case study here. In this work, a group of 40 students in the age group of 13-18 (male= 52.5%, female= 47.5%) are surveyed. These students are asked a single question of how much do they think they use their phone. This information is compared with their actual phone usage times (obtained through the inbuilt usage tracking system of the phones, or similar such Apps). Conclusion:Based on the present survey, it is found that on an average, the participants use their phones for 1.4 times longer than they think they do. The disparity between the estimated and actual usage time duration forms the basis of the proposed approach for assessing the level of mobile phone addiction.
