Published: January 2024

Bu çalışma Yozgat ili Şefaatli ilçesinde faaliyet yürüten Paşaköy Sulama Birliğinde yürütülmüştür. Sulama birliği performans analizinde 2017-2021 yıllarını kapsayan dönem ele alınmıştır. Daha başarılı su yönetimini sağlamak için Uluslararası Sulama ve Drenaj Teknoloji ve Araştırma Programı (IPTRID) tarafından önerilen bazı performans göstergeleri kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda performans değerlendirmesinde sulama oranı, sürdürülebilir sulama alanı oranı, sulama şebeke yoğunluğu, su temin oranı, sulama ücreti toplama oranı ve sulama şebekesi personel yoğunluğu parametreleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre sulama oranlarının %34 ile %61 arasında, sürdürülebilir sulama alanı oranının 1.64-9.94 arasında, sulama şebeke yoğunluğu 17.7-31.85 ha/km, su temin oranının 1.72 ile 2.06 arasında, sulama ücreti toplama oranının %66.2 ile %95.7 arasında ve sulama şebekesi personel yoğunluğunun 7.8-9.75 km/personel arasında değişim gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Her damla suyun öneminin arttığı günümüzde su kaynaklarının daha etkin bir şekilde kullanılması zorunlu hale gelmiştir. Su kaynaklarımızın büyük bir kısmının tarımda kullanılıyor olması özellikle bu alanda doğru bir programın olmasına bağlıdır. Bu amaçla önemli görev üstlenen sulama birliklerinde performansların değerlendirilmesi sürdürülebilirlik açısından son derece önem kazanmaktadır.

Sürdürülebilirlik stratejilerinin geliştirilmesinde bir üretim sürecinin ekonomik verilerinin yanında ve çevresel yönden değerlendirecek verilere de sahip olunması kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu nedenle çalışmada, Samsun ilinde manda sütü üreten işletmelerin ekonomik analizini yapılması ile manda sütünün karbon ayak izinin hesaplanması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma verileri, 2021-2022 yılları üretim döneminde Samsun ilinde ihtisaslaşmış manda yetiştiriciliği yapan 261 adet işletme arasından tabakalı tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen ve tesadüfi olarak seçilen 84’ünden anket yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca konuyla ilgili daha önce yapılan çalışmaların verileri ile resmi kurum ve kuruluşların kayıtları kullanılmıştır. İnceleme alanındaki işletmeler bir bütün olarak kabul edilmiş, işletmelerin ekonomik özellikleri klasik ekonomik analiz yöntemiyle ortaya konulmuştur. İşletmelerde elde edilen 1 litre manda sütünün karbon ayak izinin hesaplanmasında Ürün Yaşam Döngüsü Analizinden (LCA) yararlanılmıştır. İncelenen işletmelerin varlıkları 6,6 milyon TL’dir. İşletme gelirleri 2740 bin TL, işletme masrafları 1780 bin TL olup, vergi sonrası net işletme gelirleri 909 bin TL’dir. İncelenen işletmelerde işletme başına ortalama 58 baş manda yetiştirilmektedir. Bir mandanın günlük süt verimi ortalama 4,92 litre olup, manda sütü litre fiyatı ortalama 19,3 TL’dir. İnceleme alanında 1 kg manda sütünün karbon ayak izi 3,95 kg/CO2eq olarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, manda yetiştiriciliğinde çevreyi de dikkate alan sürdürülebilir stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi ve sera gazı emisyonlarının azaltılmasına yönelik politika ve düzenlemelerin oluşturulmasına katkıda bulunabilir. Özellikle, çiftliklerdeki manda sütü üretimine odaklanılarak karbon ayak izini azaltmaya yönelik yeni uygulamaların ve teknolojilerin benimsenmesi, sektörün çevresel sürdürülebilirliğini artırabilir.

Published: January 2024

The population rate in the world is increasing rapidly. Depending on the population, the need for transportation increases at the same rate. Traditional vehicles, which provide great convenience in transportation, bring with them some disadvantages. For example, the fossil fuel used in conventional vehicles creates greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O. This has a negative impact on global warming. To eliminate these negativities, interest in electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) technology studies has increased recently. Some problems have arisen with these technological studies. The range problem in vehicles is the biggest of these problems. Therefore, various solutions are sought for energy storage problems in vehicles. In this article, studies on HEV and energy storage in EVs are examined. According to the data obtained because of this examination, the performance analysis of the Energy Storage Systems (ESS) was made. The performances of the electrochemical batteries used in HEVs and EVs were compared. In addition to these, flywheel energy storage system was also investigated in HEVs and EVs to recover the energy lost because of braking.

Introdução: Durante o processo de envelhecimento, algumas funções cognitivas se mantêm estáveis e outras demonstram declínio. O indivíduo começa a apresentar sintomas neurológicos que muitas vezes são encarados como normais pelos familiares, devido ao estereótipo da velhice, porém, deve-se obter um histórico completo para se certificar corretamente acerca do estado cognitivo da pessoa idosa. Objetivo: analisar o estado cognitivo de pessoas idosas hospitalizadas e suas características sociodemográficas. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal, realizado em dois hospitais universitários do estado da Paraíba. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante o período de agosto de 2019 a julho de 2020. Foi utilizado os questionários Brazil Old Age Schedule e o Mini Exame do Estado Mental. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: na avaliação do estado cognitivo por domínios, a recordação demonstrou menor escore (1,0), enquanto o domínio orientação, maior escore (8,0). Verificou-se dentre aqueles com déficit cognitivo, 67,4% eram mulheres, 53,3% tinham idade acima de 70 anos, 69,6% tinham escolaridade acima de três anos, 57,6% não tinham companheiro, contudo, 84,8% moravam com alguém e 78,3% recebiam entre um e dois salários mínimos. Somente o estado civil obteve significância estatística (p = 0,031). Conclusão: com o avanço da idade, maior o déficit cognitivo. Por outro lado, à medida que os anos de estudo e renda aumentam, menor o déficit cognitivo, o gênero tem efeito sobre domínio de atenção e cálculo, de modo que os homens idosos demonstraram maiores índices em comparação às mulheres.

Objetivo Identificar a relação da violência psicológica, depressão e características sociodemográficas de idosos atendidos no ambiente hospitalar. Método: Estudo transversal, quantitativo, analítico e multicêntrico; desenvolvido com idosos no ambiente hospitalar nos municípios de João Pessoa e Campina Grande-PB, no período de agosto de 2019 a janeiro de 2020; utilizando os instrumentos BOAS, CTS-1 e GDS-15; sendo os dados analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: Constatou-se a prevalência de violência psicológica (55,1%; n=178) e depressão (47,1%; n=151). Houve associação entre depressão e sexo (p=0,000; n=108), renda (p=0,001; n=103) e violência psicológica (p=0,003; n=97). A violência psicológica apresentou correlação negativa com a quantidade de filhos, inferindo que quanto maior a quantidade de filhos menor a probabilidade de sofrer violência. A depressão apresentou correlação negativa com a renda (p=0,002) e positiva com a violência psicológica (p=0,001).  Conclusões: As idosas com baixa renda apresentaram quadros depressivos, sendo que à medida que a renda aumenta, diminui a ocorrência de depressão. Juntamente com a violência psicológica, estas também diminuem conforme a quantidade maior de filhos. No entanto, a violência psicológica é maior em idosos com rendas elevadas e está associada à depressão.

Authors:   Сумський державний педагогічний університет імені А. С. Макаренка, Ходун Едуард
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes the relevance of religious freedom for countries united by a common struggle against Nazism during the formation of the anti-Hitler coalition. The main accent is on the study of official documents that were to determine the strategic principles of the allied countries through the matter of religious freedom. In addition, the article analyzes the impact of the Atlantic Charter and the Declaration of the United Nations on the formation of an ideological base for religious freedom in the post-war world. Finally, attention is focused on the position of the Soviet Union, highlighting its position compared to the attitude of Western allies in the context of coalition formation. Chronological limits of the study are the period from Germany’s attack on the USSR on June 22, 1941 to January 1, 1942, when the United Nations Declaration was signed. The aim of the article is to study on the attitude of allied countries to the issue of religious freedom based on program documents of the period of formation of the anti-Hitler coalition. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism and objectivity; methods of analysis and synthesis, critical analysis of sources, as well as the comparative-historical method are applied. The scientific novelty of the article is that it is one of the first attempts in national historiography to analyze the relevance of the issue of religious freedom for allied countries during the formation of the anti-Hitler coalition based on program documents. The conclusions focus on the fact that religious freedom during the formation of the anti-Hitler coalition belonged to its conceptual foundations, and ensuring freedom of religion was declared by allies as one of the goals of the War. It was also found that in the aspect of religious freedom, the ideological basis for the Atlantic Charter and the United Nations Declaration was F. Roosevelt’s speech «On Four Freedoms». Separately determined is the position of the Soviet Union, which, despite its totalitarian internal policy, was forced to ostensibly reckon with the principles of religious freedom of Western allies in order to be able to be a member of the anti-Hitler coalition.
ALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATIONS OF THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES' FOUNDING: DISCUSSIONS AND INITIATIVES OF 2019-2021
Authors:   Запорізький національний університет, Трюхан Дмитро
Published: January 2024

The aim of the study is to examine alternative interpretations of the history of the United States' founding within the context of the sociopolitical discourse that took place in 2019–2021 in academic and political circles. The scientific novelty is determined by the author's perspective on the issues of conflicting views of American history, which allows tracing the current state of problems with historical memory and its impact on the interpretation of history by American society. Furthermore, it highlights the main topics of public interest in U.S. history and distinguishes the «fault lines» in Americans' views on their history. Additionally, the author of the research pays attention to specific elements in the adaptation of historical memory of African Americans in the context of reframing the historical narrative of the United States. The author concludes that the study marks the beginning of a process of actualization of historical events related to the inception of slavery in America and the system of segregation within the framework of the further national debate regarding American history. Thus, in the context of these processes, the impact of the memorable date of the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in the British colony of Virginia is noted. The author comes to the conclusion of the existence of two mutually exclusive views of U.S. history: on the one hand, a patriotic-triumphant narrative of «progress» and on the other hand – a narrative of the «original sin» of the country's founding. Therefore, the study highlights the influence of past events on the present within the context of the public discussion of alternative interpretations of the country's founding history and the importance of studying the issues of historical memory within the African-American community for the national history of the United States.

Authors:   Херсонська державна морська академія, Добровольська Вікторія
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes the process of creation and operation of the architectural department of the Odesa branch of the Imperial Russian Technical Society (OBIRTS). It has been determined that in 1864, one of the first technical societies in the Russian Empire, the Odesa Society of Engineers, Technicians, and Architects, was established in Odesa. This society became the basis for the organization of the regional branch of the Russian Technical Society in 1871, and Odesa architects were able to create a separate architecture department within the OBIRTS. The aim of the article is to study and highlight the process of the origin, development and functioning of the architecture department of the OBIRTS and its role in the social and cultural life of the city of Odesa and the Southern Region of Ukraine. The source base of this scientific article consists of archival and printed materials. The principles of objectivity, historicism and systematicity, using general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization in the unity of logical and historical aspects, the study of phenomena in specific-historical conditions, the transition from the particular to the abstract, and from the abstract to the particular using general scientific methods have become the methodological foundation of the research. Scientific novelty of the publication. One of the most extensive projects of organizing scientific and technical activities of the architects of the city of Odesa in the second half of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century, their contribution to the creation of a voluntary public society of professional orientation, ensuring its functioning, which contributed to convergence of science and practical activity, interaction with government institutions, city administrations, and private individuals aiming to properly organize urban development have been studied for the first time. The role of the members of the architecture department of the OBIRTS in creating significant landmarks in the city of Odesa is determined. Conclusions. The activity of the architects of the city of Odesa during the second half of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century, which showed significant engagement in the professional organization of their activity, demonstrated the formation of the scientific and technical intelligentsia in Ukraine, which became the driving force of modernization transformations. The creation of a separate architecture department within the OBIRTS played a significant role in engaging professionals to solve the important scientific and practical problems related to the development of the city of Odesa and the Southern Region.

The article reveals and analyzes the scientific activity and contribution to the history of growing fiber crops by representatives of the weaker sex of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Fiber Crops for the first time, using the example of the scientific achievements of Hanna Arinstein, Galina Hrennikova, and Oleksandra Bondareva. A study of the dynamics of the number of women and their positions in the scientific institution in 1944–1991 was also conducted. During the entire existence of the scientific institution, the leadership of the institute was carried out by men. But the departments were often headed by female doctors and candidates of sciences. In certain periods of the institute's work, the number of female scientists increased and vice versa, but over the 90-year history of the institution's existence, more than 30 representatives of the weaker sex have written their name in the history of ASRIFC. For this article, 3 bright representatives of the scientific community of ASRIFC were chosen, who in different years each conducted research in their field and left a significant contribution to the history of the cultivation of fiber crops. The outlined problem was not adequately covered in the scientific literature. Even in the well-known bibliographic series, which is dedicated to the scientists of the research station of fiber crops, there is only one collection dedicated to the representative of the weaker sex, Lydia Mykhailivna Gorshkova. The issue of women's contribution to the history of agricultural science at ASRIFC and their place in the scientific team was not raised at all. From 1944 to 1991, a significant number of scientists of ASRIFC were women, their share underwent dynamic changes in the range of 26–40%. The share of female scientists with a PhD degree was constantly increasing and during 1944–1991 doubled from 5 to 11 people. It was found that only one woman was awarded a doctorate in the period of 1966–1970. Despite this, the contribution of female scientists to the development of the production of fiber crops is quite significant and forever inscribed in the history of agricultural science of Ukraine.

The aim of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the development of scientific ideas about the history of Orthodox monasteries and monasticism in the city of Kyiv in the historiography of the pre-Soviet period. The works that were the result of many years of research of their authors should be taken as the basis for the study. Scientific novelty. The historiography of the works on monasteries of the city of Kyiv, which were printed during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, was consistently formed, and their grouping and classification was carried out. It was emphasized that a detailed review of the texts of these scientific studies and popular literature can lead to the conclusion that almost all of them have not only historiographical, but also sourceological significance. Conclusions. The analysis of the historiography of monasteries of the city of Kyiv in the pre-Soviet period was carried out, the main groups of sources were determined and their classification justified. All research on the defined scientific problem of the 19th and early 20th centuries was divided into three groups: general works that have the character of reference literature, in which all monasteries of the Russian Orthodox Church are briefly described, including those that belonged to the Kyiv diocese; general works, the authors of which were engaged in the study of certain aspects of monastic life; regional comprehensive studies on the history of individual monasteries of the Kyiv diocese. The works of the pre-Soviet period of a general nature on the history of Orthodox monasteries, despite their inconsistency and differences, have the following characteristic features: almost all of them belong to historians of the official-church direction; they are distinguished by a certain degree of descriptiveness and idealization of the activity of the Russian Orthodox Church; their authors collected a significant amount of factual material. These studies have significant factual material, including the history of Orthodox monasteries in the city of Kyiv during the synodal period, they present the problems of periodization, the place of monasteries in the life of society, analysis of sources and research methods. Regional studies are mainly devoted to the great Kyiv monasteries and their archives, the socio-political and economic activity of the monasteries.

Modern Ukrainian historical science functions under the influence of several significant factors, such as the logical, regular development of historical knowledge, as well as the methods and techniques of historiography; an unexpected challenge in the form of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which led to global changes of a pandemic nature; the Russian-Ukrainian war, which put an end to the Yalta-Potsdam world system and initiated a new stage of both internal processes in most countries of the world and fundamental changes at the international level. The aim of the work is to determine the main aspects of the influence of these factors on historical research and suggest some ways for the further development of this field of humanitarian knowledge. The methodology of the work is based on the principles of systematic approach, objectivity, as well as the use of analysis, synthesis, and generalization. To determine the number of articles of a certain thematic direction, the author uses the method of measurement. The scientific novelty of the article: some perspective directions for the training of historians and the implementation of historical research are suggested by the author, who has been an expert of the National Agency for Quality Assurance of Higher Education since 2020. Conclusions. According to the result of the analysis, the author suggests: diversification of the topics of historical research; development of educational programs based on inter-institutional cooperation in PhD education; development of educational programs of the third educational and scientific level of higher education on an interdisciplinary basis; activation of digitalization of archival and museum collections to preserve cultural and historical monuments; dissemination of the experience of OPTIMA project on online reviews with the involvement of domestic and foreign independent reviewers.

Published: January 2024

The review analyses the work of a historian and media studies scholar Stefaniia Demchuk on the everyday life of the Middle Ages. The scholar focuses her research on the medieval man, with all his fears, desires, joys, and sorrows. The work consists of 7 chapters, which are logically structured from the birth of a person to their death, with life between these periods filled with work, holidays, love, and education. The value of the work lies in the fact that the researcher draws attention to the least represented, especially in Ukrainian historiography, class - the peasantry. The analysis of the work revealed that the researcher used interdisciplinary methods, anthropological and hermeneutical approaches. Geographically, the work covers the territory of Western Europe in the Middle Ages, which Stefania Demchuk proposes to consider within the time frame from the 5th till the 16th century. While the researcher relies on a significant number of archaeological, written and visual sources, works by well-known European medievalists, the material is aimed at readers of any level. The study is a popular science story about the Middle Ages, with additional recommendations for readers, illustrations, and quotes from works of art and treatises. As part of her work, Stefania Demchuk not only presents the history of everyday life in an accessible way, but also debunks the most common and popular myths and stereotypes about the Middle Ages: backward medicine and lack of hygiene, the low, disenfranchised position of women, church-controlled celebrations, poverty, hunger, no proper childhood experiences, etc. Stefania Demchuk's work "The Age of Fasting and Carnivals. How They Lived, Drank and Loved in the Middle Ages" promotes the popularisation of history and media studies, and is aimed at combating historical myths and fakes. This work will be of interest and use to both the scientific community and anyone interested in the Middle Ages.

AbstractHappiness is a human nature. Every human being with all his affairs and his highly desirable work is a sense of happiness and tranquility. However, the fact is that in everyday life, not all humans achieve true happiness. The emergence of sadness caused by someone dealing with a situation that disappoints, loss, and helplessness about something. In fact, many humans misunderstand in seeking happiness itself due to lack of Understanding the sadness by understanding the true nature of the meaning of life. In this article, researchers will discuss understanding sadness with Martin Seligman's unique concept of happiness. The purpose of this study is to reveal Martin Seligman's concept of happiness in overcoming various sadness problems that occur in everyday life. This study used descriptive and analytical methods. As a result, researchers concluded that happiness in Martin Seligman's view is that humans can achieve true happiness if they are committed to doing good in life.

Background. The majority of sexual violence survivors become sexually revictimised, and (forced) migrant populations are at particular risk. Prior research indicates that body disconnect, dissociation, and difficulties in communicating boundaries might be underlying mechanisms of sexual revictimisation. Mental healthcare support disregarding sexual revictimisation may insufficiently address the population’s needs. Aims. In the current study a novel body-oriented module was considered for its feasibility amongst (forced) migrant survivors of sexual violence and trafficking. Method. Thirteen (forced) migrant sexual violence survivors engaged in the module in an outpatient mental health care setting in the Netherlands. A multi-method approach was applied tapping into patients’ and facilitators’ perspectives on the feasibility of the module using pre-, during and posttreatment questionnaires, evaluation forms, and (group) interviews. Results. Patients and facilitators reported treatment outcomes in accordance with the module’s aims, and treatment adherence was high. Bayesian informative hypothesis evaluation revealed that, for the majority of patients (58.33%), body awareness and self-efficacy in communicating boundaries increased, while body dissociation simultaneously decreased during treatment. Discussion. Findings suggest that a body-oriented module for sexual revictimisation risk mitigation is feasible amongst (forced) migrant survivors. Given the small sample size and lack of a control group findings should be interpreted with caution. Various considerations for the module’s further clinical implementation and effectiveness research are discussed.

Background Intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians are frequently confronted with ethical dilemmas surrounding end-of-life decisions. There is little knowledge on the relation between religiosity of clinicians and perceptions of excessive care in real-life patient situations.Research QuestionAre there differences between more religious and less religious ICUs with regard to perceptions of excessive care, treatment-limitation decisions and patient outcomes?Study Design and MethodsWe utilized a multicenter, prospective cohort design. 56 ICUs in 12 European countries and the United States were classified as more religious or less religious based on the median degree of religious beliefs of their clinicians. We compared the cumulative incidence of concordant perceptions of excessive care by two or more clinicians, treatment-limitation decisions during ICU stay and mortality within one year between patients in more religious and less religious ICUs. To adjust for differences in patient, hospital, ICU or country characteristics, inverse probability weighting based on propensity scores was utilized.ResultsOut of 56 ICUs, 15 were categorized as more religious and 41 as less religious. In these ICUs, 1,641 patients were admitted for more than monitoring during the study period, 437 (26.6%) in more religious ICUs and 1,204 (73.4%) in less religious ICUs. After inverse probability weighting to adjust for confounding, we found no evidence for a difference in receiving concordant perceptions of excessive care (8.2% vs 10.7%, HR: 1.41, 95% CI: [0.86, 2.32], p = 0.18), risk of death (92.2% vs 86.9%, p = 0.20) or written treatment-limitation decisions (36.2% vs 25.8%, p = 0.37) between patients in more religious and less religious ICUs. In the absence of concordant perceptions of excessive care, no differences were found with regard to the risk of death (37.6% vs 40.7%, p = 0.14) or written treatment-limitation decisions (5.2% vs 7.3%, HR: 1.55, 95% CI: [0.83, 2.89], p = 0.17).InterpretationWe found no evidence that more religious ICUs have different views on what constitutes excessive care in comparison to less religious ICUs. We found also no difference in treatment limitation decisions and 1-year outcomes in patients with and without perceptions in excessive care, suggesting a professional attitude of ICU clinicians towards patients, irrespective of their religiosity.

Published: January 2024

Spent coffee ground (SCG) is a residual material considered as waste that remain after brewing coffee. Conventional brewing techniques generate large amount of SCG that are rich in lignocellulose and valuable bioactive compounds that can be exploited as functional food ingredients. SCG was used for its application in probiotic candy. This study was conducted to determine the physicochemical, sensory and microbial properties of probiotics such as L. acidophilus and L. bulgaricus in SCG chewy candy. The production process includes an SCG candy mix with potato and banana as carbohydrate source to sustain viability of probiotics. The candies produced were that with SCG, SCG-banana mix, SCG-potato mix and SCG-banana/potato mix. The SCG candy mixes were stored in refrigerated (4°C) and room temperature (25°C) until 4 weeks. All of the probiotic SCG candies met the standards on physicochemical analyses. Based on sensory evaluation, addition of carbohydrate source does not have significant differences on color, aroma, sweetness and coffee-flavor but has significant differences on chewiness, mouthfeel, overall flavor, off-flavor and overall acceptability. The best treatment is the probiotic chewy candy with banana as carbohydrate source with pH of 7.6, moisture content of 8.4%, water activity of 0.54 and TSS of 44 oBrix. The probiotic chewy candy with banana had acceptable organoleptic quality until 4 weeks of storage.
WEIRD-Confucian comparisons: Ongoing cultural biases in psychology’s evidence base and some recommendations for improving global representation.
Authors: Krys Kuba
Published: January 2024

The realization that most behavioral science research focuses on cultures labeled as WEIRD— Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (Arnett, 2008; Henrich et al., 2010; Thalmayer et al., 2021)—has given an impetus to extend the research to more diverse populations. Confucian East Asian societies have relatively strong social and technological infrastructure to advance science and thus have gained much prominence in cross-cultural studies. This has inadvertently fostered another bias: the dominance of WEIRD–Confucian comparisons and a tendency to draw conclusions about “non-WEIRD” cultures in general based on data from Confucian societies. Here, analyzing 1,466,019 scientific abstracts and, separately, coverage of 60 large-scale cross-cultural psychological projects (Nsamples = 2,668 from Ncountries = 153 covering nparticipants = 3,722,940), we quantify the dominance of Confucian over other non- WEIRD cultures in psychological research. Our analysis also reveals the underrepresentation of non-European Union postcommunist societies and the almost total invisibility of Pacific Island, Caribbean, Middle African, and Central Asian societies within the research database of psychology. We call for a shift in cross-cultural studies toward midsize (7+ countries) and ideally large-scale (50+ countries) cross-cultural studies, and we propose mitigations that we believe could aid the inclusion of diverse researchers as well as participants from underrepresented cultures in our field. People in all world regions and cultures deserve psychological knowledge that applies to them.

Published: January 2024

Quality assessment and quality control (QA/QC) checkpoints layered throughout the dataflow are essential to ensure the reliability of neuroimaging analyses. In the case of functional MRI, best practices recommend collecting a ‘positive control’ task with which the different layers of QA/QC can be validated. These are short and simple tasks designed to elicit robust and precisely located brain activation patterns, permitting the diagnosis of potential issues in the workflow. Here, we examine how the phase-encoding direction (PE) choice in echo-planar imaging (EPI) blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI influences the resulting activation maps using a positive control task that includes visual and motor paradigms.
WHAT IS NEWS IN THE BRAZILIAN COUNTRYSIDE?
Authors: Durazo-Herrmann Julián , Seixas Lia
Published: January 2024

The aim of this article is to show how local political culture can influence what makes news, i.e. how it is a newsworthiness factor. A highlight on a news website can become news without any attribute (intrinsic factor), but only because of the power of the elite (extrinsic factor). We analyze the elite power factor in northeastern Brazilian state news during the pre-election period of the 2020 municipal elections. We examine eight regional websites from the two richest and the two poorest regions of Bahia. We want to show how a highlight can become news without any intrinsic factor to the event, and only by elite power as an extrinsic factor. As an alternative to traditional classifications, we performed an analysis of news values that differentiates between intrinsic and extrinsic, and then studied the focus-event. We conclude that one in every 10 highlights from the eight websites in the Bahia countryside during the 2020 pre-election period has elite power as its only newsworthiness criterion.
From paradise to prison: The disrupted spatial imaginaries of victimised female British migrants in Australia
Authors: Ridgway Alexandra
Published: January 2024

British migration to Australia may be motivated by the paradisiacal glow in which the country is framed but personal lives after arrival can upset these pre-migratory spatial imaginaries, evoking feelings of darkness, doom, horror and isolation. This article uses two concepts - that of spatial imaginaries along with that of biographical disruptions - to unpack the stories of three British migrant women whose idealized expectations of Australia are overturned after each enters a violent marriage with an Australian man. By exploring the uncanny similarities of these women’s tumultuous marital lives, I reveal how spatial imaginaries can be drastically altered by biographical disruptions which occur within intimate settings. This article highlights the unsolidified and contingent nature of spatial imaginaries along with how these are fundamentally shaped by the upheavals in one’s life.
ChatGPT in Thematic Analysis: Can AI become a research assistant in qualitative research?
Authors: Nguyen-Trung Kien
Published: January 2024

The release of ChatGPT in November 2022 heralded a new era in various professional fields, yet its application in qualitative data analysis (QDA) remains underdeveloped. This article presents a researcher-driven AI-assisted qualitative data analysis (RDAQDA) through the application of ChatGPT (GPT-4 model) to thematic analysis. By employing an adapted version of King et al.’s (2018) Template Analysis, this article aims to assess how ChatGPT can help with QDA in a full analytical process using a sample interview dataset provided by Lumivero. My study includes applying ChatGPT in four stages: data familiarization; preliminary coding; template formation and finalization; and theme development. Findings reveal GPT-4’s capacity for grasping the data and generating codes, subcodes, clusters, and themes, along with its learning and adapting capabilities. However, the current model of ChatGPT has some key limitations in terms of effectively handling detailed analysis of large databases and producing consistent results, as well as the need to move across workspaces and the lack of relevant training data for QDA purposes.
