Contribution to Railway Track Maintenance Planning from the Analysis of Dynamic Movements of Trains
Authors: Seraco Isaias Pereira , Ratton Neto Hostilio Xavier
Published: February 2023

Dynamic movements of trains in relation to the track have a significant impact on the displacement stability of rail vehicles, having effects inclusive of operational safety. Although there are numerous approaches to track maintenance planning, most of them are based solely on long-term geometric degradation assessments without taking into account any dynamic parameters in assessing operational safety or establishing means to predict future rolling stock accelerations relative to the track in order to develop safer maintenance plans. This paper introduces a method of track maintenance planning based on geometric degradation modeling and prediction of rolling stock vertical and horizontal acceleration. The goal is to establish how frequent geometric maintenance is necessary to ensure operational safety under geometric and dynamic criteria. This approach is based on regression models defined from geometric and dynamic inspection data. The method was applied in a passenger railway and obtained expressive results that corroborated the need of considering dynamic aspects on maintenance planning, as sections of the analyzed railway were identified with operation becoming unsafe, under the dynamic criterion, before the geometric safety tolerances are reached. This work is intended not only to propose a planning method but also to present to the scientific and technical communities a novel approach to be explored and developed in future research. The obtained results, therefore, do more than confirm quantitatively the relevance of this analysis; they also demonstrate qualitatively how promising the development of this thematic field is. In this regard, this work also presents in its conclusions some research opportunities to be explored for the development of this theme. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-02-02 Full Text: PDF

Trends and Responses of CPTPP in East Asian Regional Order
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Hwang Ki-Sik
Published: February 2023

Economic growth in major East Asian countries is increasing confidence in their geological potential. CPTPP membership requires a strategic approach to predict not only economic effects but also political and diplomatic ripple effects in the competition to lead the order of the Indo-Pacific region and the norms of new multilateral trade agreements. This study aims to analyze the trends of the economic community in East Asia, which is forming a multilateral trade system amid further spread of protectionism and strengthening regionalism due to the competitive trade environment between the U.S. and China, and present Korea's CPTPP response strategy. Korea needs a thorough strategy to join CCTPP considering the strengthening of the concept of 'security' in the Asia-Pacific region's multi-layered regional trade register, the competition of major countries to become norms in the new economic community at the GVC level, and the possibility of changes in CCTPP due to the emergence of IPEF.
The Commitment Problem and Negotiations over the Iranian Nuclear Issue
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Chung Jaewook
Published: February 2023

This study addresses the Iranian nuclear issue from a commitment problem perspective. With the unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA accord by the Trump administration in 2018, the commitment problem, which refers to a dilemma that the state is unable to make credible commitments due to international anarchy construed as the lack of superior authority to enforce commitments, has come to the fore in the new nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran held since April 2021. Using a simple game theoretical model, this study shows that without ameliorating the commitment problem, no agreement would be reached, thus focusing on what initiatives can be and have been offered in the negotiations to address this problem. In particular, although a form of treaty that requires the two-thirds approval from the U.S. Senate must be the most legally-binding and, consequently, most costly form of agreement in that another U.S. withdrawal would inflict serious damage on its reputation, this kind of agreement is unlikely at present because of the Republican opposition in Congress. In response, the Iranians have offered several initiatives, including a ‘creative’ one called an “inherent guarantee,” which allows Iran to fully reverse its course so that it can acquire highly enriched uranium (HEU) again when the U.S. reneges on a new agreement. Whether this kind of initiative can be realized remains to be seen, proposed initiatives in the U.S.-Iran negotiations to address the commitment problem deserve attention because they might affect the North Korean nuclear issue, once a deal is struck between Washington and Tehran.

Citrus is a Multivitamin Treasure Trove: A Review
Authors: Budiarto Rahmat , Mubarok Syariful , Nursuhud Nursuhud , Rahmat Bayu Pradana Nur
Published: February 2023

Citrus is popularly known as the source of beneficial and essential nutrients for human health, including vitamins. The current review revealed the content of multivitamins, not only vitamin C but also vitamins A, B, and E that are not widely acknowledged within Citrus. Numerous Citrus genotypes contain vitamin C, with the grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) being the richest, and citron (C. medica) the poorest. Vitamin A in the form of β-carotene, α-carotene, and β-cryptoxanthin is commonly found within Citrus, especially in several colored flesh species such as grapefruit, mandarin (C. reticulate), and orange (C. sinensis). In terms of vitamin B, orange and grapefruit are proven to contain B-complex, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), inositol (B8) and folate (B9). Vitamin E in the form of α-tocopherol was detected in leaf kaffir lime (C. hystrix) and orange (C. sinensis), lemon (C. limon), mandarin (C. reticulate), and tangerine (C. nobilis) fruit. This review summarizes the nutritional content of Citrus; Citrus contains not only vitamin C but also other vitamins beneficial to human health, therefore Citrus consumption is highly recommended.
Heparin and β2-microglobulin amyloidogenesis
Authors: Yuichiro Higashimoto  , Yoshihiro Motomiya
Published: February 2023

β2-Microglobulin (β2M) occurs as a precursor protein in dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA), which is a major complication in lives of patients undergoing dialysis. However, the underlying mechanism by which a native β2M transform into an amyloid β2M remain unclear. This disease has developed exclusively in interstitial tissues, which suggest possible implication of extracellular matrix substances in amyloidogenesis of this precursor protein. By using our monoclonal antibody specific for amyloid β2M, we investigated the function of heparin, that is, one of the glycosaminoglycans, as associated with amyloidogenic conversion of the β2M molecule. We confirmed that heparin induced a dose-dependent and time-dependent unfolding at the C-terminal region of the β2M molecule, which led to amyloidogenic transformation of the β2M molecule and brought about intermolecular interactions between β2M and substances in the interstitial matrix such as GAGs and collagen.

OTRA EDUCACIÓN MUSICAL: LA ESCUELA MUNICIPAL DE MÚSICA Y DANZA DE INIESTA (CUENCA-ESPAÑA)
Authors: Jaén-Luján Aroa , Bravo Marín Raquel , De Moya Martínez María del Valle
Published: February 2023

La presente investigación pretende analizar el funcionamiento de la Escuela Municipal de Música y Danza de Iniesta (EMMDI), municipio de Cuenca (España), desde sus inicios. Se ha aplicado un diseño metodológico mixto, usando técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas, para analizar aspectos como el número de matrículas en los sucesivos cursos, por sexo y especialidad instrumental; financiación recibida por el Ayuntamiento y las diversas experiencias vividas por el profesorado. Estos aspectos configuran un modelo común a las diferentes escuelas de música de pequeños municipios extendidos por toda la geografía española. Gracias a ellos, es posible acercar la educación musical a un amplio sector de población que, por lejanía física, o por no cumplir los requisitos establecidos en la legislación vigente, no puede acceder a las enseñanzas formales de los conservatorios. Además de la revisión bibliográfica y consulta del archivo del Ayuntamiento municipal se han realizado 8 entrevistas al profesorado y 6 a alumnos adultos para conocer su grado de satisfacción, dificultades y experiencias. Entre el curso 2015/16 y el 2018/19 la EMMDI ha contado con 811 matriculaciones, sin duda un dato relevante para concienciar de la importancia artístico-cultural que poseen estos centros de educación no formal y de la necesidad económica que requieren las escuelas de música.

Published: February 2023

A growing body of research has shown the positive effects of peer tutoring on students’ academic achievement, self-concept, attitude, social, and behavioral outcomes. There is, however, a paucity of research that focuses on peer-tutoring interventions for Hispanic students. The current study examined classroom practices, as well as program teachers’ and students’ behaviors within a cross-age peer-tutoring program implemented in elementary and middle schools that serve predominantly Hispanic students. Classroom observations were used to investigate the implementation of the peer-tutoring program. The results indicated that the program’s strengths included the development of positive emotions and relationships among students and a classroom environment that fostered warm and supportive relationships. The findings also indicated several weaknesses in the implementation of the program. Practitioners can use the findings to improve the effectiveness of future peer-tutoring programs in mathematics.

Pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences embrace a series of different disciplines. Pharmacy practice has been defined as “the scientific discipline that studies the different aspects of the practice of pharmacy and its impact on health care systems, medicine use, and patient care”. Thus, pharmacy practice studies embrace both clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy elements. Like any other scientific discipline, clinical and social pharmacy practice disseminates research findings using scientific journals. Clinical pharmacy and social pharmacy journal editors have a role in promoting the discipline by enhancing the quality of the articles published. As has occurred in other health care areas (i.e., medicine and nursing), a group of clinical and social pharmacy practice journal editors gathered in Granada, Spain to discuss how journals could contribute to strengthening pharmacy practice as a discipline. The result of that meeting was compiled in these Granada Statements, which comprise 18 recommendations gathered into six topics: the appropriate use of terminology, impactful abstracts, the required peer reviews, journal scattering, more effective and wiser use of journal and article performance metrics, and authors’ selection of the most appropriate pharmacy practice journal to submit their work.

O modelo SWAT foi utilizado para simular e analisar a umidade do solo no período de 2004 a 2019 na BERJ. Para o período analisado, os estoques variaram entre 11 mm e 818 mm. Dentre as combinações entre o tipo de solo e uso do solo, a que apresentou maior estoque hídrico no solo foi o Argissolo Vermelho Amarelo com pastagem, e a combinação que apresentou menores valores de umidade foi a do Neossolo Litólico e Caatinga densa, com umidade do solo mínima de 11 mm no ano de 2009. O modelo SWAT simulou adequadamente a umidade do solo na BERJ, representando de forma eficiente os efeitos da mudança de tipos e usos do solo na disponibilidade hídrica da bacia.
Cultural capital and perception of teacher-student relationships: uncovering inequalities at schools in China
Authors: Olivos Francisco , Araki Satoshi
Published: February 2023

A long tradition in stratification research argues students with higher cultural capital (CC) are likely to be treated by their teachers as possessing the "right culture,” which positively affects their academic performance. Nevertheless, the literature has paid little attention to the role of students’ perception in this process. Using two waves of the China Educational Panel Survey, we investigate how students' CC affects their own understanding of teacher-student interactions, including its gender difference. Fixed effects regressions show a substantially positive effect of CC on the perceived frequency of teachers praising and calling on students to answer questions across subjects. Nonetheless, we also find the lack of CC is not punished and that the CC’s effect varies across its specific components and gender. These findings pave the way for elucidating the entire causal chain of intergenerational social inequality via CC, teacher bias, students’ perception, and their educational outcomes.
A pipeline for large-scale assessments of dementia EEG connectivity across multicentric settings
Authors: Ballesteros Agustín Sainz , Prado Pavel , Ibanez Agustin , Perez Jhony Alejandro Mejia , Moguilner Sebastian
Published: February 2023

Multicentric initiatives based on high-density electroencephalography (hd-EEG) are urgently needed for classification and characterization of diseases subtypes in diverse and low-resource settings. These initiatives are, however, not without challenges, with sources of variability arising from differing data acquisition and harmonization methods, multiple preprocessing pipelines, and different theoretical modes and methods to compute source space/scalp functional connectivity. Our team developed a novel pipeline aimed at the harmonization of hd-EEG datasets and dementia classification. This pipeline handles data from recording to machine learning classification based on multi-metric measures of source space connectivity. A user interface is provided for those with limited background in MATLAB. Here, we present our pipeline and detail a comprehensive step-by-step example for prospective analysts reviewing the five main stages of the pipeline: data pre-processing; normalization; source transformation; connectivity metrics and dementia classification. This detailed step-by-step pipeline may improve the assessment of heterogenous, multicentric, and multi-methods approaches to functional connectivity in aging and dementia.
Ladislaus von Bortkiewicz’s Errors and a Reliable Solution to the Marxian Problem of Transformation in Direct and Inverse Formulation
Authors: Kalyuzhnyi Valeriy
Published: February 2023

The paper argues that economists still regard the solution to the problem of the transformation of values into prices of production, got by L. von Bortkiewicz, as belonging to Marx himself. After all, it was allegedly “correctly corrected” by the said author in 1907. Bortkiewicz based his solution on several erroneous interpretations’ theory of Marx. Because of Bortkiewicz’s errors, the representatives of the mainstream see no connection between the “value system” and the “production price system”. They claim that the transformation problem itself results from impossibility and that Marxist value theory is, at best, irrelevant and irremediably inconsistent. The paper shows that the solution to the transformation issue exists in both the direct and inverse formulation. We used for this purpose the Tugan-Baranowsky—Bortkiewicz three-sector model. These results are consistent with the concept of Marx within the dualistic approach. They coincide with the results generated by the author in his previous work (see https://osf.io/tk43d/). In the present paper, we introduce methods and examples of transformation, including iterative and based on solving systems of simultaneous equations. We prove again with their help that at equilibrium prices, profit arises from surplus value, or more precisely, from the newly created value generated by workers’ labour and from no other source. We also show that a dualistic approach to transformation allows us to see the advantages of value prices, which, unlike production prices, do not limit the growth of the productive power of labour when enterprises introduce new machines. Value prices are in demand under socialism.

Affective Factors in Dark Creativity
Authors: Kapoor Hansika , Mange Urvi Premji
Published: February 2023

Dark creativity comprises novel actions that lead to deliberate or unintentional harm. Although recent research has begun examining the construct more widely, there exist several gaps in scholarship. One such area is the influence, association, and role of affective factors in determining whether and to what extent an entity engages in dark creativity. After introducing concepts like negative and malevolent creativity, this chapter reviews the existing literature on the link between affective factors and creativity. Thereafter, the features of dark personality traits, like psychopathy, are examined with reference to affective considerations such as low empathy in producing original harm. Owing to the relationship between dark creativity and moral concerns, we also examine how moral emotions like guilt and shame (or lack thereof) may contribute to an understanding of such creativity. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research and avenues for interdisciplinary studies.
Deep Neural Network Decodes Aspects of Stimulus-intrinsic Memorability Inaccessible to Humans

Published: February 2023

Some stimuli are more memorable than others. Humans have demonstrated partial access to the properties that make a given stimulus more or less memorable. Recently, a deep neural network named ResMem was shown to successfully decode the memorability of visual stimuli as well. However, it remains unknown whether ResMem’s predictions of memorability reflect the influence of stimulus-intrinsic properties or other stimulus-extrinsic factors that are known to induce inter-individual consistency in memory performance (e.g., inter-stimulus similarity). Additionally, it is not clear whether ResMem and humans share access to overlapping properties of memorability. Here, in three experiments, we show that ResMem predicts stimulus-intrinsic memorability independent of stimulus-extrinsic factors, and that it captures aspects of memorability that are inaccessible to human observers. Taken together, our results confirm the multifaceted nature of memorability and establish a method for isolating its unconscious aspects.

The Causal Effect of Women’s’ Participation in Microfinance Program on Their Likelihood of Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence
Authors: Halder Joana Joita
Published: February 2023

This study examined the intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence against women inthe rural area of Bangladesh who participate in four types of microfinance programs such asGrameen Bank, BRAC, Asha, Proshika using propensity score matching as the identificationstrategy. Previous studies only used cross sectional data to identify the effect of microfinance onIPV, however, this study used multiple cross-sectional data to identify the causal effect. Surveydata from nationally representative Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey for the years of2007, 2011 and 2014 were used to investigate the association between microfinance participationand domestic violence of 111,784 ever-married women between the ages of 18 and 49. Theresults show that likelihood of experiencing IPV was found to be significantly higher with theintervention of microfinance program participation in most of the cases. However, the results inthis study indicated that husbands’ higher years of education has a significant negative effect onsome type of IPV and the age of the husband along with the number of children in the householdhave a statistically significant positive effect on IPV. In Bangladesh, the likelihood of experiencingIPV significantly decreases with the age of the woman and higher education. This result indicatesthat the economic empowerment among women may not be a strong indication of lower likelihoodof IPV
Improving Subnational Opinion Estimation from Cluster-Sampled Polls
Authors: Auslen Michael
Published: February 2023

The development of Multilevel Regression and Poststratification (MRP) has allowed scholars to more accurately estimate subnational public opinion using national polls. However, MRP generally fails to recover reliable estimates from polls whose respondents are selected using cluster sampling---also called area-probability sampling. This is in part because cluster-sampled polls rely on a complex form of random sampling focused on national representativeness that may result in small or unrepresentative subsamples in subnational geographies. This has limited MRP's usefulness in subnational opinion estimation in several contexts, including historical polls in the United States, where cluster-sampling was common into the 1980s, and large academic studies in many countries today. In this paper, I test two approaches to improve estimation from MRP with cluster-sampled polls. The first is pooling data from multiple surveys to produce a larger sample of clusters. The second is Clustered MRP (CMRP), which extends MRP by modeling opinion using the geographic information included in a survey's cluster-sampling procedure. Using simulations, I show that both methods improve upon traditional MRP, and I validate them using historical polls in the United States.
Researchers’ perceptions, patterns, motives, and challenges in self-archiving as a function of the discipline
Authors: Hadad Shlomit , Aharony Noa
Published: February 2023

The green open access (OA) model, which offers the most economical approach to comply with open access policies, can increase researchers’ audience and scientific outputs impact by delivering wider and easier access. This study examined researchers’ perceptions from STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) and SSH (social sciences, art and humanities) disciplines in order to reveal the types, patterns, motives, and challenges underlying their articles’ self-archiving in the green route to open-access (repositories and institutional repositories) and ASNs (academic social networks). Interviews were conducted with 20 Israeli academic researchers. Half were from STEM and half from SSH disciplines. Interviews were mapped using a bottom-up thematic analysis and follow-up quantitative comparisons. According to the findings, STEM researchers self-archived pre/post-print versions of their articles to subject-based repositories as a part of their discipline norm resulting from their funding grant requirements and as a way to receive recognition and claim priority. SSH researchers post a link to the printed-published article at the publisher’s website in ASNs, and their goal is greater visibility. In addition, findings indicate a lack of awareness, mostly by SSH researchers, regarding copyright issues and OA repositories. The green OA model provides opportunities for researchers to self-archive their work. However, there are differences between the disciplines regarding where, when, why, and how to self-archive, and what is considered a legitimate mode of green OA. This indicates an urgent need to raise SSH researchers’ awareness of the existence of open subject-based repositories and of the terms of self-archiving from publishers.
Children’s Three Voices: An Exploration of Indian Students’ Meaning-Making of Nature & Place
Authors: Jamal Aneesa , Yusof Sanitah Bte Mohd , Sultana Naqeeb
Published: February 2023

The study uses Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to explore five Indian children’s meaning-making of nature and place during two environmental education programs. Data consisted of structured interviews, semi-structured group discussion, written assignments, and student-authored storybooks. The results show that children's encounters with nature led to fascination, a sense of peace and belonging, gratitude, and love. The sense of merging identities engendered feelings of protectiveness and anger at human actions. Children amplified their meaning-making by authoring storybooks on nature. The results reinforce theoretical and other empirical work on the process of nature and place connectedness but add to sparse research on the meaning-making of nature by Indian children through an examination of their own voices. Furthermore, they explore the integration of children’s meaning-making embedded in place and nature. Lastly, the research highlights how the dynamics of meaning-making and connectedness fuel children’s environmental activism.
Researchers’ Trends, Intentions, and Awareness, Towards Publications in Open Access
Authors: Aharony Noa , Hadad Shlomit
Published: February 2023

This study examined Israeli researchers’ trends, intentions and awareness regarding scientific publications in open access (OA) journals and repositories. A survey was distributed to 202 Israeli researchers. According to the findings, most researchers used a combination of closed (traditional/toll access) journals with OA gold/green routes. Researchers showed low awareness of OA key concepts, which was significantly associated with the tendency not to publish in OA. In addition, researchers who reported that there was a formal policy concerning publishing articles in high-impact journals in their department tended to publish less in OA. The most common reasons that caused researchers not to publish in OA routes were lack of funding and lack of awareness. Conclusions present a need for an OA's declared policy as well as financial and informational support.
Game-theoretic models
Authors: Przepiorka Wojtek
Published: February 2023

Game theory is a tool to model and discover social mechanisms. The aim of this chapter is to show how the tool can be used by engaging the reader's interest in the game-theoretic modelling of social dilemmas. Social dilemmas are situations in which several agents face a decision conflict because of their interdependence. The chapter uses examples to connect game-theoretic models with everyday life occurrences of social dilemmas. In the three sections after the introduction, the chapter shows how game theory can be used to describe interaction situations to which cooperation problems, coordination problems, and conflicts of interest are inherent. Throughout the chapter, it is discussed how social, legal, and organizational mechanisms can help to mitigate or resolve social dilemmas. The two sections before the summary touch upon the game-theoretic modelling of agents’ repeated encounters in social dilemmas and social dilemmas characterized by an asymmetric distribution of information among agents.
What were they thinking? What blogs tell about Indian students’ engagement with a See-Think-Wonder online class during the pandemic

Published: February 2023

AbstractThis small, exploratory, qualitative study examines blogs to understand students’ engagement with an online See-Think-Wonder course during the pandemic. The participants were eighteen 11-13 year old Indian students. Data was collected in the form of 113 student-authored blogs, student Likes and Comments on peers’ blogs, instructors’ comments on student blogs and a questionnaire with open-ended questions for parents and analysed thematically. Findings reveal a sense of engagement with the course as students outlined what they were learning, how their minds were working, the perceived benefit from the course, their questions about the course content and criticisms about the course. The interactive activities, the cognitive challenge, opportunities for collaboration, creating an authentic product and the real-life connections fostered engagement. The study is limited by its small size, the pandemic context and the nonformal nature of the class. The study demonstrates how novel teaching and learning interventions like visible thinking routines need be structured to build engagement. The study also highlights the use of student blogs to understand engagement. Keywords: student artifacts, student voice; student engagement; visible thinking routines; non-formal education; online class
Librarians and Academic Libraries’ Role in Promoting Open Access: What Needs to Change?
Authors: Hadad Shlomit , Aharony Noa
Published: February 2023

Profound changes due to Open-Access (OA) publications lead to organizational changes in universities and libraries. This study examined Israeli librarians’ perceptions regarding their role and the academic library's role in promoting OA-publication, including the barriers, challenges, needs and requirements necessary to promote OA publishing. Lack of a budget for OA-agreements and cooperation with university management, and researchers' unawareness of OA were among the most prominent barriers. Librarians see great importance in their role of advising researchers regarding OA. However, they insisted on a regulated OA-policy at the national and institutional levels, which would strengthen their status as change-leaders of the OA-movement.
