Authors: Hadinata Patrick Nicholas , Simanta Djoni , Eddy Liyanto
Published: November 2021

Convolutional neural network berbasis encoder-decoder telah dirancang dan dilatih menggunakan dataset eksternal untuk mendeteksi retak pada permukaan beton yang relatif sederhana. Namun, pada kenyataannya permukaan beton memiliki banyak fitur seperti void pada permukaan yang disebabkan oleh udara yang terperangkap saat proses pencampuran beton. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian ini kemampuan convolutional neural network akan diteliti lebih lanjut untuk mendeteksi retak pada permukaan beton yang memiliki void. Tujuan pertama penelitian ini adalah menguji model yang dilatih dengan dataset eksternal pada permukaan beton ber-void. Jika model tidak berhasil membedakan void dengan retak, maka tujuan kedua penelitian ini adalah menyusun dataset pelatihan internal baru yang secara khusus membedakan void dengan retak, yang kemudian akan ditambahkan pada dataset eksternal untuk diinvestigasi performanya. Penelitian ini menggunakan arsitektur U-Net dan arsitektur DeepLabV3+ sebagai encoder-decoder untuk mengoperasikan semantic image segmentation. Model encoder-decoder yang dilatih dengan dataset eksternal tidak berhasil membedakan void dengan retak saat pengujian. Maka, dataset internal yang terdiri dari gambar beton ber-void dibentuk dan digabungkan dengan dataset eksternal. Dengan penambahan dataset internal yang baru, hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa model berhasil membedakan void dengan retak pada permukaan beton. U-Net mencapai nilai F1 sebesar 85,92%, sedangkan DeepLabV3+ mencapai nilai F1 sebesar 84,09%.

Authors: Cao Jin , Huang Yiting , Hodges Sierra A. , Meshberg Nathaniel , Kong Jian
Published: November 2021

Anxiety is a common psychiatric symptom with unsatisfactory treatment. Scalp acupuncture is a new type of acupuncture based on the functions of different brain regions. However, recent brain neuroimaging findings have not been well-integrated into scalp acupuncture practice and research since it was developed. In parallel, recently developed brain stimulation methods have also been applied to treat anxiety. In this study, we integrated meta-analysis (using Neurosynth), resting-state functional connectivity, and diffusion tensor imaging (using the amygdala as the region of interest) to identify potential locations of scalp acupuncture/neuromodulation for anxiety. We found that the superior/middle frontal gyrus, middle/superior temporal gyrus, precentral gyrus, supplementary motor area, supramarginal gyrus, angular gyrus, and superior/inferior occipital gyrus are involved in the pathophysiology of anxiety, and, thus, may be used as the target areas of scalp stimulation for alleviating anxiety. Integrating multidisciplinary brain methods to identify key surface cortical areas associated with a certain disorder may shed light on the development of scalp acupuncture/neuromodulation, particularly in the domain of identifying stimulation locations.

This systematic review was done to provide an insight into the complications and prognosis of overfilling of root canal material into the maxillary sinus. The prescribed reporting guidelines for systematic review were followed. The PEO employed for the systematic review is as follows: Population: maxillary teeth that underwent root canal treatment, Exposure: overfilling into the maxillary sinus, Outcome: complications and the associated prognosis to the event. An extensive search was done in five databases along with the grey literature to find the potentially relevant articles. After screening and selection, 18 articles were chosen for the qualitative analysis. The systematic review concluded that the foreign bodies in the maxillary sinus in the long run could result in sinusitis and infections of fungal etiology. Lack of proper knowledge and improper elucidation of history often leads to delayed diagnosis and prolonged suffering for the patients.

Physical education plays an important role in developing motor abilities, skills and competence in children. Main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical education curriculum by assessing in 9 th grade school- children: (1) abdominal muscle strength; (2) lower back muscle strength; (3) upper limbs muscle strength; (4) lower limbs muscle strength; (5) explosive leg power; and (6) flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles, at the beginning, and at the end of the school term. Basic mathematical and appropriate statistical methods were used in order to calculate descriptive statistical parameters, Skewness and Kurtosis values, as well as Kolmogorov- Smirnov test, were used in order to examine whether data have a normal distribution, and a Student’s t-test was applied in order to test if there is a statistically significant difference in children’s motor abilities between the beginning and the end of the school term. For this purpose, we used Microsoft Office Excel 2010. At the end of the second school term, children in 9 th grade have shown better results in all assessed variables, meaning they have increased motor ability levels after 4 months of applying specific exercises within the thematic plan of the physical education curriculum, which leads to the conclusion that physical education curriculum allows us to introduce effective tasks in increasing strength, explosive power and flexibility in 9 th grade school children.
Knowledge and attitudes towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A cross sectional survey on health care providers in clinical practice
Authors: Khatun Rashida , Chowdhury Shahanaz , Goni Osman
Published: November 2021

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical, life-saving skill for healthcare professionals (HCPs) in emergency departments (EDs) and other health care settings and are expected to have a profound knowledge of the CPR guidelines. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 160 health care providers to assess the level of knowledge and attitude towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Data analysis were done by SPSS software version-20. Total respondents in the study were 160 health care providers (HCP) and among them 80 respondents were doctors and 80 respondents were nurses. Among the respondents, 69% were female and 31% were male. Regarding the CPR training, 51% doctors and 49% had trained in CPR. Regarding performing the CPR, 58% doctors performed CPR and 66.2% nurses had performed CPR in clinical practice. Regarding meaning of the CPR, majority (92%) respondents knew correctly as ventilation and chest compression. More than half 58% respondents correctly knew about cardiac massage as to apply strong compression to the chest wall in certain interval. Regarding component of the CPR, nearly two third (65%) respondents correctly knew as chest compression and ventilation. Regarding sequence of the CPR,71 % respondents incorrectly knew sequence of CPR as Airway-Breathing-Compression (A-B-C) and 29.38% correctly knew as Compression-Airway-Breathing (C-A-B) as the sequence of the CPR. Among the total respondents, 62.5 % respondents had average level of knowledge, 18.12% had good level and 19.38% had poor level of knowledge on CPR and CPR training were associated significantly with the CPR knowledge. Among the total respondents 70.62% had neutral attitude, 15.0% had positive and 14.38% had negative attitude to perform CPR. Doctors were more knowledgeable than nurses, and they also had more positive opinions on CPR than nurses. The study showed that CPR training was taken by both health care providers. The study also showed that nurses (53%) performed the CPR more than the doctors in clinical practice. The dissimilarity in knowledge and attitudes among the health care providers suggest that training courses on the CPR should be regularly provided to health care providers specially focusing on nurses in the country.
The reminiscences of Salome’s dance and the Danse Macabre in authors’ models of the late 19th — early 20th centuries literature
Authors: Halchuk Oksana
Published: November 2021

The subject of the study is the topos of dance. The article identifies the factors of its actualization in the literature of the late 19th — early 20th centuries; considers the origins of its reading through the prism of Eros and Thanatos; analyses works with “dance” imagery, and clarifies its role in the texts poetics. These tasks aim to outline the author’s models that utilize “Dance of the Seven Veils” and “The Danse Macabre”. Comparative, mythological-archetypal, historical-cultural research methods have been applied to study the specifics of dance interpretation in the aesthetic coordinates of modernism. The interest in these aspects of the archetypal topos existence and the need to define the author’s representations as variants of the national determine the relevance of the study.
Results of the Study. The reminiscences of Salome’s dance and the Dance of Death are due to the perception of the era as a “plague age”; aesthetic understanding of dance as a personification of the phenomenon of death; interest in the body as a socio-cultural concept and its sensory cognition; a revival of the art of dance; interest in the theme of the East; popularity of erotic motives and the character “woman-child”; the relevance of archetypal codes for the triad “life — death — art”. Charles Baudelaire’s poetry is analyzed as the origins of the modernist interpretation of dance at the intersection of Thanatos and Eros. His dance imagery is characterized by its ironic understanding through the prism of existential categories and interpretation in the context of eschatological and aesthetic issues.
The development of the Baudelaire tradition is reflected in the examples of the “new drama”: Lesya Ukrainka reminiscences Salome’s dance as an embodiment of bodily freedom (The Forest Song) and dance as a sign of humility and choice of “death” of the spirit (The Orgy). In Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House the tarantella is both an image of a festive atmosphere and a sign of falsified values of the characters. The dance heralds the catastrophe of Nora’s “puppet” house and at the same time opens up prospects for finding one’s self.
The Danse Macabre for Mykhailo Kotsyubynsky (Ivan’s dance with Chuhaister in Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors) and Thomas Mann (dance seen in Aschenbach’s bizarre dream in Death in Venice) is connected with the infernal. It symbolizes the heroes’ awareness of the new “reality” and the transition to another level of worldview; concentrates on thanatological and erotic and defines the complex relationship of mind and body as issues of works. For both characters, the dance is a warning of imminent physical death. But for Aschenbach, it is also the last act of dying as an artist, a symbol of his soul’s death. In contrast, for Ivan, it is a duel-dance to protect his beloved, reunion with whom gains his integrity.
Science and popular science journalism: difficulties of definition and media typology
Authors: Kyrylova Oksana
Published: November 2021

This article is relevant because there is a need for scientific differentiation of two related categories of modern communication: science journalism and popular science journalism. There is no stable approach to this problem in the Ukrainian discourse, and the current normative documents force the editorial offices to determine the type of activity not according to the specifics of the media, but according to the list available, for example, in GOST. The object of the research were world and Ukrainian media specialized in scientific topics: “Cosmos”, “Popular Science”, “Discover”, “Scientific American”, “Kunsht”, “Spilne”, “Svitohliad”, “Vselennaya, prostranstvo, vremya”, “Science Ukraine”, “Alpha Centauri”, “Nauka i tekhnika”, “Kraina znan”, “Vichnyi mandrivnyk”, “Lokalna istoriia”, “Istoriia. Novyi pohliad”, “Malovidoma istoriia: daleke i blyzke”. At the same time, we analyzed digital practices (web resources), as well as traditional paper media (magazines). The subject of study is the peculiarities of the definition of scientific and popular science journalism and the complexity of the typology of the corresponding media. The main research method was comparative analysis, which, supported by discourse analysis, made it possible, firstly, to compare the existing scientific views on the categories of “scientific journalism” and “popular science journalism” and highlight the main features of each. Secondly, using these methods, an analysis of the world’s leading resources specializing in science journalism was carried out and parallels with this type of Ukrainian media were made.

The result of the study is the typological differentiation of modern Ukrainian media resources. The study was based on the hypothesis that the characteristics of the audience and the functional specificity of the resource are decisive factors in terms of differentiation of the media as science and popular science. According to it, those media that are oriented towards advanced users, focus on the latest achievements of science and technology and restrained use online opportunities, almost without resorting to methods of edutainment and sciencetainment, we attribute to the channels of science journalism. The media that combine directions for the mass user, focus on the educational component and different popular pseudo-scientific topics with prolonged potential relevance, we refer to popular science journalism. Taking into audience and functional factors we include following projects of science journalism: “Kunsht”, “Spilne”, “Svitohliad”, “Vselennaya, prostranstvo, vremya”, “Science Ukraine”, “Alpha Centauri”, “Nauka i tekhnika”, “Kraina znan”. “Vichnyi mandrivnyk”, “Lokalna istoriia”, “Istoriia. Novyi pohliad”, “Malovidoma istoriia: daleke i blyzke” we refer to popular science journalism.
Creation of author’s lexical and semantic dictionary in the dramaturgical practice of Oleksandr Irvanеts
Authors: Bondareva Olena
Published: November 2021

The subject of the research is the lexical and semantic features of the carnival-ironic dramatic writing by Oleksandr Irvanets. The object of the research is the dramas “A Little Play about Betrayal for an Actress”, “Electric Train for Easter”, “Recording”, “Live Broadcast” and “Liar from Lithuanian Square”. The purpose of the article is to analyze the writer’s dramas through the prism of keywords, author’s semantic constructions, neologisms and other features of artistic language. Lexical-semantic and stylistic analyzes are an effective method for achieving this goal.

As a result of the research it was found that in his dramas O. Irvanets exposes Soviet myths to aesthetic destruction and formulates a number of artistically camouflaged questions related to the civilizational choice of post-totalitarian Ukraine and addressed to readers / listeners / viewers of his works. Issues of totalitarian traumatic experience of Ukrainians and its postcolonial experience, simulated reality and its aesthetic representations, subjectivity / non-subjectivity of Ukrainians at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries, return of Ukrainians to their own language and mental values become important for the writer in his dramatic work. He does not declare these issues directly, but resolves them at the levels of global conceptual metaphors, symbolic field, authorial word formation, anti-utopian modes, associations and allusions, combination of multilingual and multidisciplinary fragments and remarks, ardent discussions, including internal ones. This whole register of means is designed to encourage Ukrainians, both in the first post-Soviet decade and in subsequent years, to self-awareness, civilizational self-determination, and the search for their own subjective identity.

The novelty of the study lies in the interpretation of texts on the basis of identified lexical and semantic features. The perspective of the research is to consider its results in the context of all the works of O. Irvanets, as well as with the lexical and semantic features of the works of other playwrights-postmodernists.
M-Service Quality of Telecom Companies in Qatar

Published: November 2021

Today, although mobile applications make our lives easier, the service quality provided by such applications has become a vital element in increasing customer satisfaction. This research paper aims to identify the significant mobile service quality factors (Application Design, Ease of Use, Information Content, Reliability, Responsiveness, Empathy, Security and Prices and offers) that influence customer satisfaction and loyalty in Qatar’s telecommunications sector. To answer the research question and test the hypotheses that form the study model, data were collected through an online questionnaire of 195 random customers who use Ooredoo or Vodafone mobile applications in Qatar. The proposed model was evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that Ease of Use, Information Content, Responsiveness, and Security are the most significant factors that affect M-Customer Satisfaction. Also, there is a strong relationship between M-customer Satisfaction and M-loyalty. On the contrary, Application Design, Reliability, Empathy, and Prices and offers did not affect M-customer satisfaction. Thus, the managers in telecommunication companies should adopt a strategy that focuses on the M-service quality factors that most influence M-customer satisfaction to increase customer satisfaction rates and loyalty to their products and services. It will also help reduce overall costs by delivering those products and services to a higher proportion of customers through the mobile application rather than physical branches. This paper also helps the researchers use the proposed model in future research to understand these relationships in other countries better.

Published: November 2021

When investigating how people conserve energy, most researchers and decision-makers render a conceptual distinction between prevention (e.g. unplugging devices) and productivity measures. Nevertheless, such a two-dimensional approach is inefficient from both a conceptual and policy standpoint, since it ignores individual differences that influence energy-saving behavior. Preserving electricity in homes and buildings is a big concern, owing to a scarcity of energy resources and the escalation of current environmental issues. Furthermore, the COVID-19 social distancing policies have resulted in a temporary transition of energy demand from industrial and urban centers to residential areas, resulting in greater consumption and higher costs. In order to promote the sustainability and preservation of resources, the use of new technologies to increase energy efficiency in homes or buildings becomes increasingly necessary. Hence, the goal of the project is to provide consumers with evidence-based data on the costs and advantages of ICT-enabled energy conservation approaches, as well as clear, timely, and engaging information and assistance on how to realize the energy savings that are attainable, in order to boost user uptake and effectiveness of such techniques. End-users can visualize their consumption patterns as well as ambient environmental data using the Home-assistant user interface. More notably, explainable energy-saving recommendations are delivered to end-users in form of notifications via the mobile application to facilitate habit change. In this context, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt for developing and implementing an energy-saving recommender system on edge devices. Thus, ensuring better privacy preservation since data are processed locally on the edge, without the need to transmit them to remote servers, as is the case with cloudlet platforms.

There is limited data from Arabic-speaking countries on risk factors for depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Country-specific data is necessary given differences in culture, demographics, and COVID-19 infection and mortality rates. This study intended to identify the factors associated with symptoms of depression-anxiety in the adult population of Qatar during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey in Qatar between July and December 2020 after Qatar’s first COVID-19 wave and before the beginning of the second wave. Depression-anxiety was defined as a cut-off of 20 or higher on the PHQ-ADS scale. Of 1138 participants, 71.05% were female, 69.0% Arabs, and 70.0% Non-Qataris. 77 % were < 40 years (the median age in Qatar is 32 years). In a fully-adjusted model, six variables were significantly associated with PHQ-ADS; Arab ethnicity (OR=1.67, p=0.026), never married (OR=1.69, p < 0.015), prior psychiatric history (OR=1.80, p=0.009), Social Media induced worries (OR=1.72, p=0.003), history of COVID-19 (OR=1.76, p=0.039), loneliness (OR=1.91, p < 0.001), and lower levels of religiosity (OR=0.96, p=0.039). The potential risk factors identified may assist with anxiety and depression prevention in future COVID-19 waves, similar national events and assist with early intervention to treat sufferers.

One (2.5%) patients suffered from diarrhea, and one (2.5%) patient had raised LFTs after treatment. Conclusion: Diacerine significantly improves the mean WOMAC and VAS score after 6 months of therapy. The efficacy is also high. So, it can be considered as an alternative drug among symptomatic patients with OA in whom the symptoms do not improve after conventional analgesics.
'All Will be Amply Labelled…' The Educational Policies and Practices of the Horniman Free Museum
Authors: Nutting Ryan
Published: November 2021

This work examines the policies and educational programming produced by the Horniman Free Museum in London prior to its closure in 1898. Relying upon primary sources, such as the writings of tea merchant and Member of Parliament Frederick Horniman and the staff of the museum, this article refutes previous scholarship on this museum and argues that the museum possessed a clear mission, curatorial and exhibition practices, and educational practices that were derived from late nineteenth-century museum practices and theory. By examining how the Horniman Free Museum created and described its policies and programming, this article presents a basis for further work on understanding how late nineteenth-century museums interpreted museum theory for constructing and displaying knowledge about the world.
Object Biographies and Museums: 100 X Congo in Antwerp, Exhibition at the Museum aan de Stroom, Antwerp, Belgium, 3 October 2020 - 12 September 2021
Authors: DeBlock Hugo
Published: November 2021

The Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) in Antwerp, Belgium, opened the doors of its long-anticipated exhibition, 100 X Congo, on 3 October 2020, highlighting the presence of a Congolese art collection that has been owned by the city for a hundred years (1920-2020). Tackling the often uneasy history of how these things ended up in museums in the colonial ‘motherland’, this exhibition signals a step forwards in museology in Belgium, away from mere aestheticism of Congolese and, by extension, African arts, towards, in contrast, a focus on provenance, context and cultural importance.

Determining the clinical efficacy of analgesic drugs in amphibians can be particularly challenging. The current study investigated whether a thermal nociceptive stimulus is useful for the evaluation of analgesic drugs in 2 amphibian species. The objectives of this study were 2-fold:
1) compare 2 models of nociception (thermal and mechanical) using 2 frog species; White's Tree Frogs (Litoria caerulea; WTF) and Northern Leopard Frogs (Lithobates pipiens; NLF) after administration of saline or morphine sulfate; and 2) evaluate antinociceptive efficacy of morphine
sulfate at 2 doses in a common amphibian research species, the NLF, using a mechanical stimulus. Neither WTF nor NLF displayed consistent drug-dependent changes in withdrawal responses to a noxious thermal stimulus applied using the Hargreaves apparatus, but NLF exposed to the noxious mechanical
stimulus demonstrated a significant dose-dependent antinociceptive response to morphine sulfate. These results indicate that morphine is not antinociceptive in WTF, supporting previously reported results, and demonstrate the importance of using an appropriate experimental antinociceptive test
in amphibians. Our data suggest that nociception in amphibian species may be best evaluated by using mechanical nociceptive models, although species differences must also be considered.

La evaluación tiene un papel muy importante en los procesos de aprendizaje en contextos educativos. Así, las evaluaciones activas, donde el alumno tiene un papel protagonista, cada vez están tomando mayor presencia como complemento a las evaluaciones tradicionales debido a su probado valor formativo. El presente estudio trata de analizar el impacto que tiene sobre las evaluaciones hechas por los alumnos, la experiencia adquirida por dichos alumnos al someterlos a situaciones de evaluación y al recibir feedback por parte del profesor sobre dichas evaluaciones. Para ello, dos grupos naturales de clase realizaron evaluaciones del trabajo realizados por otros grupos y de su propio trabajo. La diferencia entre los grupos radicó en que uno de ellos recibió feedback del profesor tras la evaluación y el otro grupo no. Los resultados analizaron la precisión de los grupos evaluando a otros grupos de compañeros y evaluándose a sí mismo, con respecto a la evaluación del profesor. Los datos mostraron que ambos grupos mejoraron la precisión de las evaluaciones a lo largo de las sesiones, pero la mejora fue significativamente mayor en el caso del grupo que recibió feedback. Estos resultados nos permiten apuntar sobre la importancia de la evaluación dentro del proceso de aprendizaje y de la necesidad de proveer a los alumnos de feedback sobre la evaluación realizada.

Volcano monitoring in Peru is carried out by the Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP), through its Centro Vulcanológico Nacional (CENVUL). CENVUL monitors 12 out of 16 volcanoes considered as historically active and potentially active in southern Peru and issues periodic bulletins about the volcanic activity and, depending on the alert-level of each volcano, also issues alerts and warnings of volcanic unrest, ash dispersion, and the occurrence of lahars. The information generated by CENVUL is disseminated to the civil authorities and the public through different information media (newsletters, e-mail, website, social media, mobile app, etc.). The IGP volcanology team was formed after the eruption of Sabancaya volcano in 1988. Since then, geophysical and geological studies, volcanic hazards assessments, and multidisciplinary monitoring realized by the IGP, have provided a comprehensive understanding of volcanic activity in Peru and forecast future eruptive scenarios. Currently, 80% of the historically active and potentially active volcanoes in Peru are equipped with networks of multiparameter instruments, with the seismic monitoring being the most widely implemented. In this report, we present the situation of volcanic monitoring in Peru, the monitoring networks, the techniques employed, as well as efforts to educate and inform the public and officials responsible for disaster risk management.

Authors: ŞEN Gökçem , KABARAN Seray
Published: November 2021

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, 20-45 yaş aralığındaki bireylerin beslenme durumlarının, duygusal yeme, gece yeme ve uyku kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya 20-45 yaş arası 378 birey dahil edilmiştir. Bireylerin beslenme durumları geriye dönük bireysel besin tüketimi hatırlatma yöntemi ile yemek ve besin fotoğrafları kataloğundan yararlanılarak elde edilmiştir ve antropometrik ölçümleri alınmıştır. Ayrıca, Üç Faktörlü Yeme Anketi (TFEQ-R21), Gece Yeme Anketi, Pittsburgh Uyku Kalite İndeksi (PUKİ) kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Normal vücut ağırlığına sahip bireylerin bilişsel kısıtlama puanları fazla kilolu bireylere göre düşüktür (p<0,05). Zayıf bireylerin akşam hiperfajisi puanları fazla kilolu bireylere göre yüksektir (p<0,05). Erkek bireylerin karbonhidrat alımları ile gece yeme, duygudurum ve uyku bozukluğu puanları arasında, ayrıca disakkarit alımları ile akşam hiperfajisi puanları arasında pozitif yönlü korelasyonlar olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Kadınların karbonhidrat alımları ile bilişsel kısıtlama, gece yeme ve duygudurum ve uyku bozukluğu puanları arasında negatif yönlü korelasyonlar bulunmuştur (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Bireylerin değişen duygu durumlarına bağlı olarak gösterdikleri duygusal yeme davranışları, gece yeme eğilimleri ve uyku kaliteleri, beslenme durumlarını ve besin tüketim miktarlarını etkileyebilmektedir, bu nedenle vücut ağırlığı kontrolünün sağlanması ve sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının sürdürülebilmesinde bu faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi önemlidir.

据报道，越南人每年焚烧大约 5 万吨香纸，不仅是纸纸形式， 还有 iPhone、汽车、衣服， 甚至是 管家形，希望取悦死者。 这这做法被错错地归因于传传的佛教教义，但大多数越南人都不知道它 的起源來自于中国。 在生活的其他方面，越南也有许多类似的例子， 他们们于對自己的文化增添 新的规范、价值和信仰，甚至相互矛盾的東西。 这这被称为“文化可加性”的现象促使我们研究 越南民间故事所显示的三教(儒教、佛教和道教)的核心价值值和规范之间的共存、相互作用和 影响。通过过用贝叶斯逻逻回归，我们们估了一个故事的关关信息是否受宗教(因变量)支配的 可能性，還是受到三个教义有关的价值和反价值在表面的影响(自变量)。 我们的主要发现包括 儒教和道教价值在文化上可加性的存在。更具体地说，实实实果表明，道教和儒教的价值值在民 间故事中的相互作用或相加，有助于预预故事的关关信息是否与儒教思想有关，β_{VT⋅VC} = 0.86。 同时，佛教却没有这这的传统统统。 这些实果有一些重要意义。 首先，这表明了儒教思想的综治 地位，因为儒教和道教的价值在一个故事中一起出现，导致了这个故事有儒学主导的关关信息。

Factors for Implementation of Qanun in Aceh Education: Study on Islamic Value-Based Basic Education
Authors: Hafni Nur
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study to analyze the implementation of the Qanun on the implementation of Islamic values-based education and to interpret the obstacles and supports for implementation. Implementation referred to the content concept and context of Grindle's policies. The research method used a case study approach that was explanatory, with the type of research being descriptive qualitative data analysis. The research findings were: (1)—the implementation of the Qanun based on the principles of national policy. The specific policies of Aceh still guided it, and these principles were squeezed into educational goals and curricula. (2) the supporting factors for implementing the contents of the Qanun represent the interests of the target group, the types of benefits obtained, the type of change desired, and the elite actors in power. In contrast, the obstacles to implementation were the lack of adequate resource support, the absence of derivative policies, the degree of change that had not provided significant results, and the low compliance and responsiveness of implementing agencies.
Persistent shallow micro-seismicity at Llaima volcano, Chile, with implications for long-term monitoring

Published: November 2021

Identifying the source mechanisms of low-frequency earthquakes at ice-covered volcanoes can be challenging due to overlapping characteristics of glacially and magmatically derived seismicity. Here we present an analysis of two months of seismic data from Llaima volcano, Chile, recorded by the permanent monitoring network in 2019. We find over 2,000 repeating low-frequency events split across 82 families, the largest of which contains over 200 events. Estimated locations for the largest families indicate shallow sources directly beneath or near the edge of glaciers around the summit vent. These low-frequency earthquakes are part of an annual cycle in activity at the volcano that is strongly correlated with variations in atmospheric temperature, leading us to conclude that meltwater from ice and snow strongly affects the seismic source mechanisms which is likely dominated by basal slip beneath the glaciers. The results presented here should inform future assessments of eruptive potential at Llaima volcano, as well as other ice-covered volcanoes in Chile and worldwide.
Visualizing compassion: Episodic simulation as contemplative practice
Authors: Wilson-Mendenhall Christine , Dunne John , Davidson Richard
Published: November 2021

Contemplative interventions designed to cultivate compassion are receiving increasing empirical attention. Accumulating evidence suggests that these interventions bolster prosocial motivation and warmth towards others. Less is known about how these practices impact compassion in everyday life. Here we consider one mechanistic pathway through which compassion practices may impact perception and action in the world: simulation. Evidence suggests that vividly imagining a situation simulates that experience in the brain as if it were, to a degree, actually happening. Thus, we hypothesize that simulation during imagery-based contemplative practices can construct sensorimotor patterns in the brain that prime an individual to act compassionately in the world. We first present evidence across multiple literatures in Psychology that motivates this hypothesis, including the neuroscience of mental imagery and the emerging literature on prosocial episodic simulation. Then, we examine the specific contemplative practices in compassion-based interventions that may construct such simulations. We conclude with future directions for investigating how compassion-based interventions may shape prosocial perception and action in everyday life.
