Published: September 2024

Vocal communication (e.g., pitch) can shape inferences about speakers and the content of their messages. Yet, it’s unknown how such communication impacts the effectiveness of social support. We examined the role of support givers’ vocal pitch in three dyadic datasets (N1 = 39; N2 = 39; N3 = 59; friend pairs) where participants recorded scripted reappraisals (i.e., reinterpretations) of aversive stimuli to support a friend with regulating emotion. Using Bayesian statistics, we found cumulative evidence that when support givers used higher pitch in delivering these reappraisals, targets of support experienced less negative affect. Targets of support also reported greater relationship satisfaction with support givers who used higher pitch during reappraisal. These data consisted primarily of women friend pairs, with preliminary results indicating that these associations may not hold in men friendships. These results highlight acoustic features of verbal communication as a promising frontier for strengthening social ties and emotional wellbeing.
Self-Other Mirroring in Personality Structure
Authors: Oh DongWon
Published: September 2024

Humans use themselves as a reference when thinking about and perceiving others, but the extent to which individuals project their own personality structures onto others remains unclear. For example, does a person who is both extraverted and agreeable assume extraverted others are agreeable and introverted others are disagreeable? If so, do they apply this association when forming impressions from faces? To answer these questions, two preregistered studies (n=118, n=72) examined self-reported personality traits and judgments of others’ personalities, both conceptually and from faces. Both studies found evidence for self-projection of idiographic personality trait structure. Participants’ own trait associations predicted their perceived trait associations in others, which in turn predicted associations in face-based trait judgments. This effect persisted beyond simple assumed similarity of individual traits. The findings highlight how self-concept shapes social perception, with implications for person perception and social cognition. Self-other mirroring in personality structure provides insight into how people navigate the social world through the lens of their own experiences.

Published: September 2024

Populist attitudes represent the individual level support for populism. The study of populist attitudes is interdisciplinary with contributions from across the social sciences. Empirical research is dominated by survey research, including studies working on a measurement for populist attitudes. This research suggests that populist attitudes are shared by substantial minorities across different societies including in South America and Asia. Studies have explored predictors of populist attitudes, for example, personality traits, socio-demographic variables, and populist communication as well as on its consequences, such as the acceptance of democratic decisions and voting for populist parties. Thus far, evidence is mixed regarding the question of whether populism poses a threat to democracy or if it works as a democratic corrective. The entry offers further insights into the different research fields related to populist attitudes and discusses limitations and possible future research avenues.

Poetry is processing words into a beautiful sentence, in which the word is not like the words conveyed in everyday life. In this case poetry contains implied meaning in it so that in interpreting a poem requires thinking that is sensitive to the object in question. Riffaterre argues that poetry expresses something indirectly or says something by meaning something else. This study carries out the meaning of poetry by using Riffaterre's semiotic theory. In finding the significance of poetry, the researcher uses the analytical method proposed by Riffaterre, namely heuristic reading and hermeunitic reading. In heuristic reading, the researcher found various ungrammaticalities that hindered understanding. According to Riffaterre, to overcome these obstacles the researcher must continue reading at the second level, namely hermeneutic reading.In the second level of reading, ungrammatical is not a hindrance but a guide to significance. The object of this research is Nizar Qobbani's poem entitled "Al-Quds". Nizar Qobbani's poetry which is examined in this study contains a human element to the tragedy that occurred in Palestine. The results of the analysis show that the tragedy that occurred in Palestine as an ungrammatical appearance in the poem has become a guide to significance.

Published: September 2024

Acquiring Arabic as a second language is a complex process influenced by various factors. In this literature review, we explore the factors that affect the acquisition of Arabic as a second language from a psycholinguistic perspective. We highlight three main factors, namely motivation, language factors, and social factors. Strong and sustained motivation plays a crucial role in motivating learners to diligently and consistently learn Arabic. A good understanding of the differences between the first language and Arabic is also found to be a significant factor, as this understanding helps learners overcome difficulties and develop a better grasp of the Arabic language. Additionally, social factors, such as interaction with native speakers and a supportive learning environment, provide valuable opportunities for learners to actively practice Arabic. This research has important implications for understanding Arabic as a second language. By understanding the factors that influence the acquisition of Arabic, more effective learning approaches can be developed. We provide suggestions to enhance learner motivation, consider first language factors in language learning, encourage social interaction, and integrate cultural contexts into Arabic language learning. The relevance of this research lies in its contribution to our understanding of the acquisition of Arabic as a second language and providing guidance to educators and learners in developing optimal learning strategies. Thus, it is expected that this article will provide valuable insights and contribute to the field of Arabic language acquisition as a second language from a psycholinguistic perspective.

Epoxy composite materials filled with rice husk ash
Authors: Sokolova A. G.
Published: September 2024

The present research responds to two current tendencies, such as circular economy, involving reuse of industrial waste, and green chemistry, presupposing application of renewable resources and technologies, which minimize the negative environmental impact. The present article is dedicated to the study of the application of rice husk and its ash as a filled for epoxy composite materials. Rice husk represents a multi-tonnage agricultural by-product, subject to recycling, and at the same time, is a valuable source of amorphous silica. Temperature regime of rice husk ash (RHA) production, optimum content and particle size of filler providing maximum modifying effect were determined. The influence of modifying fillers on the complex of operational properties of filled epoxy compositions including hardness, wear resistance, adhesion to steel and aluminium and antifriction properties of epoxy coatings has been established. A comparative analysis of the properties of modified compositions with non-filled ones and with compositions filled with fully amorphous silica, including industrial analogue Aerosil 300, has been carried out. It has been established that the best compatibility with polymer epoxy matrix is possessed by rice husk ash obtained at the combustion temperature of 500оC introduced in the amount of 10 mass parts per 100 mass parts of epoxy polymer.
Sedimentation of heterogeneous particles in a porous material
Authors: Kuzmina L. I. , Osipov Yu. V.
Published: September 2024

Filtration of suspensions and colloids in porous materials occurs during the construction and operation of hydraulic structures, tunnels and underground storage facilities. Filtration models are used to calculate the penetration of grout into loose soil, when treating drinking water and industrial wastewater. During the filtration process, suspended particles pass through large pores and get stuck at the entrance of small-diameter pores. The trapped particles form a stationary deposit. A model of filtration of a polydisperse suspension in a porous material is considered. The purpose of the work is to study sediment profiles – the dependence of the concentration of deposited particles on the distance to the porous material inlet at a fixed time. An exact solution to the model was constructed using the method of characteristics. It has been shown that when filtering a polydisperse suspension, the distribution of sediment differs for different types of particles. The sediment profile of the largest particles always decreases monotonically, but the sediment profile of the smallest particles is not monotonic. It decreases at short times, then a maximum point appears on the graph, moving along the porous medium as time increases. After the maximum point reaches the porous material exit, the sediment profile becomes monotonically increasing. The sediment profiles of intermediate size particles and the total sediment profile are either monotonic or non-monotonic depending on the model parameters. The behavior of maximum points of non-monotonic profiles has been studied.

Authors: Wattimury Samuel Michael , Abrar Abrar , Kurniawati Kurniawati
Published: September 2024

This article aims to analyze and describe the implementation of ecopedagogic-based history learning in the Colonial Indonesian History course. This research uses this qualitative research method, and the data analysis model used is an interactive analysis model. Starting from the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion and verification. The results showed that the history learning process carried out in sixteen face-to-face meetings had been carried out by integrating elements or main pillars in ecopedagogic-based learning, namely historical environmental literacy, cultural literacy, and utilization. This research is relevant to Bloom's competency domain, namely the competency domain of knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Previous research related to ecopedagogy only focused on the natural environment and its relevance to biology and social studies learning. Meanwhile, this research focuses on historical environments such as forts, museums, and monuments and their relevance to learning history. Ecopedagogic-based history learning is one of the solutions to monotonous history learning and is associated with the negative connotation that history learning is a boring memorization lesson.
Beckmann’s Bertrand–Edgeworth Duopoly Model: New Pure Strategy Equilibria
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia, Shvedov A. S.
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the concept of weak active equilibrium, which was introduced in the eighties of the twentieth century by Smol’yakov, is used for the first time for a study of Bertrand– Edgeworth oligopoly (that is, competition among firms when firms’ strategies are prices and firms’ production capacities are limited). All symmetric weak active equilibria are found for the basic model of Bertrand–Edgeworth duopoly, which was analysed in the sixties of the twentieth century by Beckmann. However, this model is highly simplified. Also, the question of existence of nonsymmetric weak active equilibria is studied.
Androdioecy in Ranunculus ficaria ssp. ficaria (Ranunculaceae)
Authors: Godin V. N.
Published: September 2024

Androdioecy was for the first time studied in detail in the fibrous-rooted herbaceous ephemeroid polycarpic plant Ranunculus ficaria ssp. ficaria in the Moscow Region during 2019–2023. It has been established that this subspecies produces two types of flowers: perfect and staminate (remains of carpels with reduced non-functioning stigmas are preserved). Perfect flowers and their component parts are always larger than those of staminate flowers. Populations consist of three types of individuals: with perfect flowers exclusively, with perfect and staminate flowers, and with staminate flowers only. Synflorescence of R. ficaria ssp. ficaria is a closed thyrsus, the subunits of which are dichasia. In andromonoecious plants, perfect flowers are located on the top of the thyrsus axis and take a terminal position in paracladial dichasia, while staminate flowers are formed exclusively on the lateral axes of dichasia. In the five studied populations, plants with perfect flowers predominate (from 86.3 to 93.7%). Over a five-year observation period, individuals of different sexual forms did not change the sex of flowers, and the sex ratio in populations remained stable without sharp fluctuations.
Peculiarities of Arctic Ichthyofauna
Authors: Reshetnikov Yu. S.
Published: September 2024

An audit of the marine and freshwater ichthyofauna of the Arctic has been carried out. According to new data, the ichthyofauna of the Arctic is represented by 4 classes, 33 orders, 103 families, 251 genera and 479 species of cyclostomes and fish (or about 1% of the world fauna), of which 214 species or 45% of the number of species in the Arctic are true Arctic species. Arctic fish are characterized by polymorphism and euryphagy, which are associated with the variable and low food supply of northern water bodies. The ichthyofauna of the Arctic is well represented by taxa with a wide adaptive radiation (genera Coregonus, Salvelinus, Lycodes, etc.) and species with a complex intraspecific structure such as superspecies or species-complex. Another characteristic feature of the Arctic is low endemism of ichthyofauna at the level of families (5%), genera (2%) and species (10%). Possible routes of distribution of whitefish and pike in the water bodies of the North have been discussed.
Platinum-bearing Fe-Mn oceanic crust on basalts: mineralogy and model of formation
Authors: Rudashevsky N. S. , Rudashevsky V. N. , Alikin О. V.
Published: September 2024

Fe-Mn oceanic crust on basalts of the guyot in the Mid-Pacific Seamount (Pacific Ocean, depth 2486 m, chemical composition (wt %): Mn 24.2, Fe 12.6, Ni 0.59, Co 0.72, Cu 0.13; (ppm) Pt 0.35, Pd 0.0052), was studied using 3D-technology of mineralogical research. In addition to dominaiting vernadite and goethite, the following minerals are identified in the hydroseparation (HS) concentrates of the crust: 1) rock forming and accessory minerals of basalts (clinopyroxene, plagioclase, potassium feldspar, biotite, ilmenite, titanomagnetite, Ti-chrome spinel, zircon, apatite); 2) sulfides that are identical to those from the basalt substrate (pyrite, chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, tennantite, nickel pentlandite Ni4S3, sphalerite, galena, argentite/acantite, molybdenite); 3) native metals (iron, nickel, copper, titanium, tungsten); 4) iron silicides (gupeiite Fe3Si, xifengite Fe5Si3, and hapkeite Fe5Si3); 5) platinum group minerals - unnamed (Cu,Pt)4Si and rustenburgite (Pt,Pd)3(Sn,Sb). The complexes of ore minerals in basalts are identical to those of the Fe-Mn crusts. Basalt accessories are assumed to be primary phases and a source of metals for the formation of native minerals. “Microdroplets” of native iron Fe, (Fe,Ni), nickel Ni, (Ni,Cr), (Ni,Fe) and copper Cu (sizes 20–100 microns, degree of sphericity up to 100%) represent the products of their crystallization from metal melts in basalts, transported by deep fluid into Fe-Mn crusts on these rocks. The zoned microglobules of 20–70 microns sizes with iron or native nickel (core) + successive rims of wüstite-magnetite and Fe-Mn hydroxides were identified. They were apparently formed during the movement of these solid microparticles (from bottom to the top) along intergranular spaces and other permeability channels in basalts under conditions of increasing oxygen fugacity and falling temperature at various levels of deep fluid infiltration. The crystallization of native metals in the Fe-Mn crust that are characterized by low-temperature (10 °C) and oxidizing (fO2 MHG magnetite-hematite-goethite) conditions of mineral formation is impossible. The goethite replacement to different extent of many grains of relict Fe-minerals (sulfides and native metals) that are “foreign” to the Fe-Mn crust have been established. Fe-Mn crusts were formed as a result of the precipitation of colloidal particles Mn2+(Ba2+и Sr2+), to a lesser extent of the iron hydroxide Fe(ОН)3, as well as the concentration and transformation of micrograins of minerals of other metals, extracted by fluid from basaltic substrates. The comparison of the physico-chemical parameters of crystallization of basalts and native metals suggests another source of formation of native minerals in basalts, different from the postmagmatic basaltic fluid, i.e. deep-seated sharply reducing "hot" gas flows associated with superplumes. The mineralogical data determines a volcanogenic-fluid-oceanic model for the formation of Fe-Mn crusts on underwater oceanic elevations.

Stillwellite-(Ce) and some its synthetic analogues tend to undergo phase transition from polar (ferroelectric) to nonpolar (paraelectric) modification on heating. However, the reasons for the transition and phase stability remain the subject of scientific debate. Here we present detail studies (scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD)) of hydrothermally grown BaBPO5 isostructural with stillwellite-(Ce). Its thermal behavior was studied by an in situ low- (from –173 to +25 °C) and high-temperature (HT; 25–800 °C) SCXRD. Fully ordered crystal structure of BaBPO5 (at T = 25 °C: trigonal, P3221, a = 7.1166(1) Å, c = 7.0011(1) Å, V = 307.07(1) Å3, R1 = 1.42 %) does not exhibit any change of symmetry upon cooling / heating unlike natural stillwellite-(Ce). Thermal expansion of BaBPO5 is almost isotropic (αmin = 8.4, αmax = 8.7⋅10-6 °C-1) despite the chain nature of borophosphate anion. The comparative crystal chemical analysis of HT behavior of cationic polyhedra in the stillwellite-family members is presented.

Conditions of being economically disadvantaged, having physical illness, no family support, and have to live in a nursing home can trigger elderly  to experience health problems such as depression. Depression in the elderly has the impact of psychosocial problems such as powerlesness, hopelessness, low self-esteem, and social isolation. The aim of this research  is  to analyze depression and psychosocial problems in elderly  living in nursing homes. The research design  descriptive analytic. The research sample was elderly living in nursing homes and  sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The total sample was 86 elderly. Data collection used the Geritriac Depression Scale instrument and psychosocial response  instruments. Descriptive data analysis. The research results showed that 87% of the 86 respondents experienced depression. In 75 elderly  who were depressed, it was found that 97% (73 people) experienced psychosocial problems  low self-esteem, 93% (70 people) of powerlesness, 99% (74 people) of hopelessness, and 77% (58 people) of social isolation. The suggestions given are strengthening care, especially related to the mental health of the elderly and the need for programmed activities that support the physical, psychological, socio-cultural and spiritual health of the elderly living in nursing homes.

Authors: LiLi Dianah  , Oktariza Sela
Published: September 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of emotional intelligence on the self-regulated learning of junior high school students in the West Bandung area. The approach used is a correlational quantitative approach, which allows measuring the strength of the relationship between these variables. The data collection technique used was a survey. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed directly to each junior high school in the West Bandung area. A total of 400 junior high school students were respondents in this study, selected using proportional stratified random sampling. The results showed that emotional intelligence has a positive and significant effect on self-regulated learning. The magnitude of the effect of emotional intelligence on self-regulated learning is 28.6%, with the remaining effect e attributed to other factors. The highest achievement indicator of emotional intelligence was that students always prayed in any situation, while the lowest achievement indicator was having a sense of empathy. The highest achievement indicator of self-regulated learning was setting learning goals, while the lowest was using learning resources. The higher the emotional intelligence, the higher the students' self-regulated learning.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the role of tax policy in the agricultural sector to determine its impact on innovative development, investment decisions, and competitiveness of enterprises in this area. The study performed a comparative analysis of various aspects of tax regulation, review of taxation instruments, consideration of special tax regimes in such countries as the USA, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, and Kyrgyzstan. The study investigated various aspects of tax regulation that have direct and indirect impact on the functioning of the agricultural sector. The role of tax policy in stimulating investment and development in agriculture by providing tax incentives and subsidies for investment in innovative technologies, process mechanisation, and research was examined. Special tax regimes aimed at supporting agricultural enterprises were analysed, and examples of tax policies in different countries, including the USA, the European Union, China, India, and Kyrgyzstan, were provided. The state of agricultural development in Kyrgyzstan was reviewed, and the main challenges, government support measures, and the main land tax rates across the country were identified. The key point was to develop recommendations for improving the tax system to stimulate agricultural development derived from the synthesis method. This involves the introduction of tax exemptions and investment incentives, differentiation of tax rates depending on segments and regions of agriculture, stakeholder consultations, simplification of tax administration, and attraction of foreign investment through special tax regimes. Concrete examples were also given of large agricultural enterprises in different countries where improved tax policies can contribute to the development and efficiency of their operations
The Adoption of Holacracy in Higher Education: A Scale Development Study
Authors: Turpçu Merve
Published: September 2024

This study aims to develop a valid, reliable, and convenient data collection tool to measure the level of faculty members’ adoption of the holacracy model in university administration. The data of this study were obtained from faculty members working in the faculties of education of state universities in Türkiye in the 2020-2021 academic year. Participation in the study was completely voluntary. The data were collected from a sample of 268 people. Within the scope of the research, the Higher Education Holacracy Scale (HEHS) was used as a data collection tool. The researcher developed the draft form of the HEHS in line with the literature on holacracy. The draft form was presented to 14 experts, one of whom was an expert in measurement and evaluation. Thus, the content validity of the research was ensured. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that the variance explained was 63.228%, the structure consisted of three components, and the fit index values were at a good level. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted for the validity of the scale, and Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was calculated for reliability. Item-total correlations examined the discrimination of the scale items. After the analyses, it was determined that this 25-item scale, which is in harmony with its theoretical foundations, is a valid and reliable scale suitable for measuring faculty members’ opinions.
Consensus on the Components of Therapeutic Alliance in Stuttering Intervention: An e-Delphi study with Speech and Language Therapists
Authors: Quinn Ana , Connery Amy
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic alliance is the term used to describe the interactional and relational processes that occur during therapy. The strength of a therapeutic alliance is associated with treatment adherence, treatment outcomes and clients’ satisfaction with treatment. Therapeutic alliance has been identified by key stakeholders as an essential component of stuttering intervention, however, this construct and its components remain relatively underexplored in the literature. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to build consensus amongst speech and language therapists working with adults who stutter on the core components of therapeutic alliance, and the factors that influence its development. It also aims to develop a guiding framework for the establishment and maintenance of therapeutic alliance with this client group. METHODS: Speech and language therapists participated in a three-rounded e-Delphi survey focused on: (1) identifying the core components of the therapeutic alliance; and (2) gaining group consensus on the core components of therapeutic alliance. Statements representing the core components that obtained consensus were categorised using a framework of therapeutic alliance. RESULTS: A total of 24 speech and language therapists agreed to participate. 24/24 (100%) completed Round 1, 24/24 (100%) completed Round 2, and 23/24 (95.83%) participated in Round 3. Following inductive content analysis of Round 1, 62 statements were generated, and consensus was achieved on 60 statements which were agreed by participants to represent the core components of therapeutic alliance. These statements were then categorised, resulting in a guiding framework of therapeutic alliance to support speech and language therapists working with clients who stutter. CONCLUSIONS: Consensus on the core components of the therapeutic alliance for stuttering intervention was reached through engagement with speech and language therapists. The framework presented demonstrates the vital role speech and language therapists play in the formation and maintenance of therapeutic alliance during the delivery of stuttering interventions with adults.
Blockchains in health information systems: A literature review on use cases and status of implementation of blockchains for electronic health records
Authors: Sternat Timo , Bernsteiner Reinhard , Ploder Christian , Dilger Thomas
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: The careful management of health data is crucial due to its immense value and high sensitivity. Blockchain technologies can manage data in a trustworthy way. OBJECTIVE: The central aim is to identify the current state of blockchain technologies applied to Electronic Health Records (EHR) to identify common structures and functionalities. This common ground could be the starting point for defining clear global standards. METHODS: A systematic literature review is used. RESULTS: The benefits of enhancing the digitalization and cross-institutional accessibility of health data are undoubted. Four main application areas of blockchain for the EHR can be identified: storing, sharing, audit logging, and managing the identity of data accessors. Since on-chain transactions are slow and inefficient, most research promotes a hybrid approach for handling transactions as a combination of off-chain and on-chain approaches. CONCLUSIONS: Several approaches, frameworks, and models exist for applying blockchain technologies in the context of EHR. The research revealed that a) only a few concepts are already implemented, b) the existing system implementations are based on different backgrounds and technology stacks, and c) a lack of comprehensive and global standards and norms. All these factors are barriers to a broader usage of blockchain-based EHRs.
A Data-Driven Cognitive Composite Sensitive to Amyloid-β for Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease

Published: September 2024

Background: Integrating scores from multiple cognitive tests into a single cognitive composite has been shown to improve sensitivity to detect AD-related cognitive impairment. However, existing composites have little sensitivity to amyloid-β status (Aβ +/–) in preclinical AD. Objective: Evaluate whether a data-driven approach for deriving cognitive composites can improve the sensitivity to detect Aβ status among cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals compared to existing cognitive composites. Methods: Based on the data from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in the Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease (A4) study, a novel composite, the Data-driven Preclinical Alzheimer’s Cognitive Composite (D-PACC), was developed based on test scores and response durations selected using a machine learning algorithm from the Cogstate Brief Battery (CBB). The D-PACC was then compared with conventional composites in the follow-up A4 visits and in individuals from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Result: The D-PACC showed a comparable or significantly higher ability to discriminate Aβ status [median Cohen’s d = 0.172] than existing composites at the A4 baseline visit, with similar results at the second visit. The D-PACC demonstrated the most consistent sensitivity to Aβ status in both A4 and ADNI datasets. Conclusions: The D-PACC showed similar or improved sensitivity when screening for Aβ+ in CU populations compared to existing composites but with higher consistency across studies.
