Alternative for Germany: Between Conservatism and Right-Wing Populism
Authors: Rabotyazhev N. V.
Published: September 2022

The rise of the right-wing populism has become a distinguishing feature of the political life of European countries at the beginning of the 21st century. Over the last 20—25 years, right-wing populist parties have turned from once marginal associations into an important component of the partypolitical system of the EU countries. The key components of the ideology of the parties of this type include ethno-cultural nationalism, anti-immigrant attitudes, anti-globalism, and euroscepticism. Similarly to other populists, their representatives claim to express the interests of the “true” people, which they understand as an organic unity that is opposed to the self-serving and morally degraded establishment. The German version of right-wing populism manifests itself in the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which stands somewhat apart from the European right-wing populist organizations and differs from most of them in its genesis. The AfD was founded in 2013 by the conservatives and national liberals and in the first few years of its existence it used to be in fact a national conservative eurosceptic party. Although later its right-wing component became stronger, the party still decisively dissociates itself from right-wing radicalism and denies any connection with the German right-wing tradition. The preservation of the national and cultural identity of Germany, the restriction of the influx of immigrants, the rejection of the euro and the transformation of the European Union into an association of sovereign states are among the most important AfD’s principles set out in the party platform. The electoral base of the AfD consists of those Germans who lose out from globalization, do not accept multiculturalism and are concerned about the influx of migrants from other cultures into Germany. The party is most popular in the eastern lands of Germany. In addition to the extreme right movement, which gravitates towards right-wing radicalism, the party also retains a moderate conservative one. Nevertheless, the AfD remains a party that no one wants to “shake hands” with and has almost no chance of entering power.
Effect of ethanolic leaf extract of Macaranga spinosa Muell-Arg on selected biomarkers of toxicity in Wistar rats
Authors: Joshua David  , Peters Dikioye Emmanuel
Published: September 2022

In Nigeria, plant-based herbal medicines are vital component of traditional medicine (TM) and their use for the maintenance of health and wellbeing has been a common practice. These TMs are freely used without mandatory safety or toxicological evaluation. Thus, it is necessary to identify plants with toxicity potentials among the plants used for therapeutic purposes in the country. This study investigated effect of ethanolic leaf extract of Macaranga spinosa Muell-Arg on selected biomarkers of toxicity in Wistar rats. Fifteen Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 96.8 -250 g were divided into three groups comprising of group 1 (control 0.5ml distilled water); group 2 (500 mg/kg b.w Macaranga spinosa Muell-Arg leaf extract) and group 3 (1000 mg/kg b.w Macaranga spinosa Muell-Arg leaf extract). At the end of one week oral administration, animals were sacrificed; blood and tissues samples were taken for biochemical and histopatological investigations respectively. Phytochemicals present were alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, triterpeneoid/steroids, carbohydrates, cardenolide, and saponins. Urea, sodium ion, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentration were significantly elevated in group 3; non-significant increase in creatinine, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride ion and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentration in group 2 and 3 compared to group 1. Total protein and triglyceride were significantly decreased in group 3 compared to group 1. Albumin, total and conjugated bilirubin were non-significantly decreased in group 2 and 3 when compared to control group 1. Histological examination of kidney tissue showed no change in kidney histology; liver tissue indicated vacuolar and cytoplasm degeneration, and fatty change. Hart tissues showed normal cardiac myocytes. This study has established that ethanolic leaf extract of Macaranga spinosa Muell-Arg can cause hepatoxicity, mild nephrotoxicity and no significant alteration of lipid profile in Wistar rats. Therefore, users of this plant in TM should avoid excessive and prolong use, as it can be toxic to the liver.

Misunderstanding and Offense in the Digital World as Impacts of Community Low Level of Language Literacy and Communication Skills
Authors: Resyadi Herman
Published: September 2022

AbstractCommunication is part of social interaction that acts as a means of exchanging information, meeting individual needs and development. However, such social interaction activities may fail and create interaction problems, including misunderstanding and offense. Misunderstanding occurs when the listener thinks he or she has understood or misinterpreted what the speaker meant while offense occurs when the listener is unable to accept, is annoyed and disturbed by what the speaker is saying. Since entering the digital era which began about 10 years ago, misunderstandings and offenses have become increasingly common. The rapid flow of information exchange where everyone is almost free to speak and respond to speech makes these two issues even more unstoppable. Responding to these, as the main concern of this paper, the author invites the readers to discuss about misunderstanding and offense as results of individual low level of literacy and communication skills.Keywords: Misunderstanding and Offense, Communication, Language Literacy

CARA K.H. AHMAD DAHLAN MENCARI KEBENARAN TERHADAP EPISTIMOLOGI BARAT
Authors: Yati Mul
Published: September 2022

BSTRACT: Kyai Ahmad Dahlan is indeed a charitable person. He is not just thinking, and understanding the problem. But more importantly, he thinks far ahead, and looks for fundamental problem solutions. Even more than that, Kyai Dahlan directly led the struggle itself; made himself, his wife, and his family a role model for struggle. Despite being colonized economically, politically, and militarily, Kyai Dahlan understands well that the root of the problems of the people and the nation lies in the problem of education. From this education will be born cadres of the people and the nation. It is recognized that the philosophical way of thinking has broken down the doors and walls of traditions and customs, and has even uncovered myths and abandoned mystical ways of thinking. The same thing has also succeeded in developing ways of thinking rationally and deeply, integrally and coherently, methodically and systematically, logically, critically, and analytically. Therefore, science is growing, growing and maturing. Thoughts K.H. Ahmad Dahlan on Islamic education is closer to Perennial Philosophy thinking. Islamic education is more colored by its religious spirit by developing integrative, cooperative, accommodating and comprehensive education with special characteristics of monotheism and universality of knowledge as the content of education (curriculum), Akhlaqul karimah as the basis for educational goals, affective intelligence (attitude), cognitive (brain) and psychomotor (motion) as a development step, so as to avoid fatalism and ambivalence. In the study of epistemology, it gives birth to a clear concept of science to be realized into a comprehensive educational curriculum, without separating the empirical sciences (aqli) and the diniyah sciences (naqli). The axiological approach gives birth to views that are always in the value corridor. The operational appearance of education is not only used as a vehicle for the preservation (maintaining) of religious values, but more than that as a center and a means of developing knowledge, which is operated in an adapted, eclectic, cooperative, contextual, actual and universal manner and relies on intuition.

Background: Fruits from L. ruthenium, L. barbarum, and L. Chinense, of the family Solanaceae are well-known in traditional Chinese medicine and have been used as popular functional foods, with a large variety of beneficial health effects. Methods: In The present study, ethanolic extracts (30%) of lycium fruits were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Total phenolic content was determined together with the quantification of seventeen (17) phenolic compounds. Furthermore, the antioxidant activities of the three plants were investigated in vitro through DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. Results: Results revealed that all three Lycium fruits extracts had antioxidant activities. However, L. ruthenicum showed the highest radical scavenging capacity. Hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) class derivatives including N1, N10-bis(dihydrocaffeoyl)spermidine,N1-bishydrocaffeoyl,N10-caffeoyl spermidine, and N1,N10 -di(caffeoyl) spermidine were dominant in L. ruthenicum (15.56-310.80 mg/100g). A significant amount of chlorogenic acid was detected in all the extracts (L. ruthenicum: 238.59 mg/100g; L. barbarum: 25.76 mg/100g; L. chinense: 98.86 mg/100g). Cryptochlorogenic acid was not detected in L. barbarum, while protocatechuic acid and neochlorogenic acid were only found in L. ruthenicum. The content of caffeoylquinic acid derivatives was particularly high in L. chinense. Rutin was detected in all analyzed species, the highest amount being registered for L.chinense. (62.56±0.061 mg/100g). Conclusion: Overall, the results of this study show that Lycium fruit extracts have promising antioxidant potential to be used in food, nutraceutical, and biomedical field. These findings could serve as a scientific foundation for discrimination and quality assessment of the three Fructus Lycium. Keywords: Antioxidant activities; HPLC; Lycium ruthenicum; Lycium barbarum; Lycium chinense; phenolic content; Solanaceae.

Published: September 2022

Küresel ölçekte iklim değişikliğinin yıkıcı etkileri giderek daha hızlı, daha yaygın ve daha şiddetli bir biçimde görülmeye devam etmektedir. İklim ile ilişkili aşırı hava olayları ve afetler sadece can ve mal kayıplarına neden olmamakta, bunun yanı sıra çevreyi ve tüm canlıları, ekonomileri ve toplumsal yapıyı da etkilemektedir. Hükümetlerarası İklim Değişikliği Paneli (IPCC) tarafından yapılan çalışmalarda söz konusu olumsuz sonuçların önümüzdeki süreçte de artarak devam edeceğinin bilimsel kanıtlarıyla ortaya konulmuş olması, iklim dirençli kalkınma yaklaşımının ele alınmasına ve özellikle nüfusun, yatırımların, ekonomik faaliyetlerin yoğunlaştığı kentsel alanlara odaklanılmasına neden olmuştur. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışmanın amacı, iklim dirençli kalkınma yaklaşımının kentleşme politikası bağlamında değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışmada, iklim değişikliğinden kaynaklanan veya iklim değişikliğinin etkilerinin kötüleştirdiği biyofiziksel, ekonomik ve sosyal stres faktörlerinin kentsel dirençliliği etkilediği ve söz konusu stres faktörlerine karşı dirençliliğin sağlanmasında sera gazı azaltımı ve iklim değişikliğine uyum eylemlerini bir arada ele alan iklim dirençli kalkınma yaklaşımının önemli bir fırsat penceresi sunduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. İklim dirençli kalkınma yaklaşımının hayata geçirilmesinin, Birleşmiş Milletler Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Amaçları’ndan 13.’sü olan İklim Eylemi temelinde diğer amaçların da gerçekleştirilmesine uygun şartların sağlanmasını beraberinde getireceği çalışmada elde edilen bir diğer önemli sonuçtur.

Published: September 2022

Contexto e Objetivo: Estudos recentes mostram um aumento de ideação e comportamentos suicidas entre jovens, havendo fortes associações com ser pobre, ser mulher, ser LGBT (lésbica, gay, bissexual ou transgénero) e sofrer discriminação na escola e/ou na internet. Embora os determinantes sociais da ideação suicida sejam amplamente debatidos em todo o mundo, há uma lacuna sobre esses temas em relação aos jovens brasileiros, o que o presente estudo pretende contribuir para preencher. Métodos: O estudo transversal utilizou uma amostra de conveniência de 475 alunos do ensino médio (16–17 anos) de nove escolas públicas do estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Resultados: Do total de entrevistados, 224 deles relataram ideação suicida ao longo da vida, uma prevalência inesperadamente alta (47,2%). Na análise múltipla com estimativa da razão de prevalência (RP) ajustada, atração por pessoas do mesmo sexo ou bissexual (RP = 1,87; IC95%: 1,5–2,3), estudar em escolas noturnas (RP = 1,36; IC95%: 1,1–1,6) — indicativo de menor condição econômica — e ser discriminado em escola (RP = 1,22; IC95%: 1,0–1,5) e na internet (RP = 1,48; IC95%: 1,2–1,8) foram associados positivamente à ideação suicida ao longo da vida. Raça/etnia e gênero dos alunos não foram associados. Conclusões: Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de consideração dos determinantes sociais da saúde mental no debate público e nos programas de intervenção voltados à juventude no Brasil e em outros lugares. O aprimoramento da promoção da saúde mental, levando-se em conta os determinantes sociopolíticos da saúde, deve ser uma prioridade estratégica e política. É crucial uma perspectiva interseccional abrangente que reflita sobre as várias formas de dominação e como estas se conectam com o sofrimento mental e suas consequências.

DOP: toward an open-source and informative alternative to the DOI linking system
Authors: Moustafa Khaled
Published: September 2022

Digital object identifier (DOI) links in scientific publications are not informative. DOIs are not standardized to provide useful information about the published articles, authors’ names, journals’ names, and dates of publication (look at the DOI of this manuscript, it does not tell much about it). Besides, so far there is no free and open-source alternative to the current DOI system. Here, I suggest a new open and free linking and indexation system called DOP (for “Date Of Publication”) based on four main components of any scientific publication: 1) the main author’s name, 2) the journal’s name, 3) the date of publication (hence the denomination “DOP”), and 4) the time of publication. By using these four elements, DOP links are candidly informative, comparable and even memorable compared with the current links of DOI system. For example, a paper published by authors X in journal Y, on date D and time T can have a DOP link identifier as follows: DOP: authorX/JournalY/D/T where D refers to the date of publication per year, month and day, and T refers to the time of publication per hour, minute, and second. By using the date and time of publication per hour, minute and second, DOP links will be easily standardizable and always specific and unique among journals and authors and between them. Subsequently, a large bibliographic database can also be established based on DOP identification links for the indexation and archiving of scientific publications in the various scientific fields.

Der Mensch existiert in der Kultur, und beide zusammen bilden das Leben, dann wird die Gemeinschaft in der sozialen Kultur zur Gesellschaft. So schaffen, wachsen und entwickeln Menschen Kultur. Es gibt keinen Menschen ohne Kultur, und umgekehrt gibt es keine Kultur ohne Menschen. Kultur ist eine Strategie für das menschliche Leben in der Gesellschaft, damit es überleben kann, um in seiner sozialen, kulturellen und natürlichen Umgebung zu leben. Diese Strategie muss erlernt werden, damit der Mensch sie beherrschen kann, um sie durch den Lernprozess für Generationen zu ihrer eigenen zu machen

The Effectiveness of the Behavioural Components of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) in Older Adults: A Systematic Review
Authors: McLaren Declan , Evans Jonathan , Smith Sarah Ferguson , Baylan Satu , Gardani Maria
Published: September 2022

Insomnia is more prevalent in older adults than in the general population. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) is the gold standard treatment, however, may prove too cognitively taxing for some. This systematic review aimed to critically examine the literature exploring the effectiveness of explicitly behavioural interventions for insomnia in older adults, with secondary aims of investigating their effect on mood and daytime functioning. Four electronic databases (MEDLINE – Ovid, Embase – Ovid, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) were searched. All experimental, quasi-experimental, and pre-experimental studies were included provided they: (a) were published in English; (b) treated insomnia in older adults; (c) used sleep restriction and/or stimulus control; (d) reported outcomes pre-and-post intervention. Database searches returned 1,689 articles. Fifteen studies, summarising the results of 498 older adults, were included. Three focused on stimulus control, four on sleep restriction, and eight adopted multicomponent treatments comprised of both interventions. All interventions brought about significant improvements in one or more subjectively measured facets of sleep, although overall, multicomponent therapies demonstrated larger effects (median Hedge’s g = 0.55). Actigraphic or polysomnographic outcomes demonstrated smaller, or no effects. Improvements in measures of depression were seen in multicomponent interventions, but no intervention demonstrated any statistically significant improvement in measures of anxiety. This corroborates with the existing consensus that multicomponent approaches confer the most benefit and adds to the literature by demonstrating this to be the case in brief, explicitly behavioural interventions. This review guides future study of treatments for insomnia in populations where CBTI is not appropriate.
Concept Creep of Collective Narcissism: A Commentary on Putnam and colleagues (2018)

Putnam and colleagues (2018) examined how people estimate the contribution of their state to the overall history of the United States. Samples from all 50 states reported some degree of overestimation of the importance of their home state compared to what others said about their state (Zaromb et al., 2014; Zaromb et al., 2018). We conducted a pre-registered study in which we collected data from 539 undergraduate students. We assessed overestimation (Putnam et al., 2018), collective narcissism (Golec de Zavala et al., 2009), pathological narcissism (Pincus et al., 2009), numeracy using two different methods (Fagerlin et al., 2007; Lipkus et al., 2001), how much participants identify with their state and how meaningful it is to be from their state (to capture in-group affection/narcissism), how often they think about their home state (to capture availability), and their ACT/SAT scores. The correlations between overestimation and the traditional measure of collective narcissism (r = .18) and individual narcissism (rs < .07) were small.
Financial-Scarcity-Related Cues’ Impact on the Cognitive Performance of the Poor: a Meta-analysis
Authors: Szecsi Peter , Szaszi Barnabas
Published: September 2022

Prior research suggested that financial-scarcity-related cues disproportionately impede thecognitive performance of the poor, but later studies questioned the extent and even theexistence of this effect. In the present paper, we conducted a systematic review and a Bayesianmeta-analysis to resolve the inconsistencies in the literature to predict when and to what extentthe effect appears. First, our results show that the evidence is inconclusive about the existenceof the disproportionate effect of financial-scarcity-related cues on the cognitive performanceof the poor, and if the effect exists, the overall effect size is relatively small (g = 0.08 [-0.05,0.21]). Second, we found that the study designs of the identified studies were homogeneous,and the potential moderators were often not measured or reported. As a consequence, thegeneralisability of the findings in the literature is limited. While we conclude that furtherempirical investigations are needed to understand the extent and the boundary conditions of theeffect, we provide directly applicable recommendations for future research on the topic.
“Sometimes you identify as a vegetarian, and sometimes you don’t”. Influences on Meat-Eating Practices Among Indian International Students
Authors: Campbell Lucy , Prosser Annayah Miranda Beatrice , Whitmarsh Lorraine
Published: September 2022

Meat-eating is the norm among many Western cultures, yet there are harmful ethical, health, and environmental impacts associated with its consumption. Unlike most Western countries, India’s meat consumption is low. This is shaped by long-standing Hindu teachings which advocate non-violence towards other life forms, and view meat as polluting for the body. However, India's meat consumption is on the rise, leading to a conflict between a desire to embrace new consumption practices and maintain tradition. Moving cultures and leaving the parental home are found to disrupt food habits, norms, and values. Thus, the current study aimed to explore the different influences, including such life transitions, on the abstinence and consumption of meat among Indian international students. Twelve qualitative interviews were conducted and analysed using critical realist thematic analysis. Findings suggested morals influence some to view meat as disgusting and wrong leading to abstinence, whilst others dismiss the relevance of this and consume meat for convenience, health, and taste. Meat-eating practices were found to be context-dependent, influenced by location, peers, meat-eating norms, and convenience. Moving to university disrupted food habits; whilst participants’ dietary labels (e.g., vegetarian) remained the same, the quantity and frequency of meat consumption was found to change among some pre-existing meat-eaters. The findings have implications for designs of meat-reduction policy interventions and support for international students at university.

BackgroundAlthough electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) appear to be effective in helping smokers to stop smoking, concerns about use of e-cigarettes among young people have led to restrictions on non-tobacco flavoured e-liquids in some countries. However, these restrictions could reduce the appeal of these products to non-smoking youth but could have unintended consequences for smokers and e-cigarette users (vapers). MethodsIn this qualitative study, we aimed to explore smokers’ and vapers’ opinions of unflavoured e-liquids and their beliefs about how they would be impacted by hypothetical e-liquid flavour restrictions. UK adult smokers and vapers trialled an unflavoured e-liquid instead of their usual nicotine product for four hours and completed a survey and an online interview. ResultsUsing Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis and graphically presented data, we found differences in smokers’ and vapers’ opinions of unflavoured e-liquid. If only unflavoured, tobacco flavoured, and menthol flavoured e-liquids remained on the UK market, some smokers and vapers may be unaffected, but some may be at a greater risk of relapsing to smoking or continuing smoking. Despite wanting to protect children from the harms of vaping, there was disagreement about whether flavour restrictions would be an effective method. ConclusionsThe findings indicate a potential adverse impact on smoking rates if e-liquid flavour restrictions are implemented in the UK.
The Video Games Dialogue Corpus
Authors: Rennick Stephanie , Roberts Sean
Published: September 2022

This paper presents the Video Games Dialogue Corpus, the first large-scale, consistently coded, open source corpus of dialogue from video games. It contains over 6.2 million words of dialogue from 50 video games in the Role Playing Game (RPG) genre. This includes: games produced between 1985 and 2020; rated for children, teenagers, and adults; and in both “Western” and “Japanese” subgenres. The corpus design is described, including custom data formats for representing branching dialogue. We demonstrate the use of the corpus by comparing the dialogue of female and male characters, where we find reflections of gendered language in other media as well as patterns that seem specific to video games. We provide the source code for a “self-inflating corpus”: a pipeline that obtains the data then processes and parses it into a standard format. This makes the corpus available for teaching and research purposes, providing the first such resource for empirical analysis of video game dialogue.
Response speed separates nature from nurture in time processing.

To get a concrete representation of its intangible flow, humans frame time in space. How this conceptual superimposition of space over time takes place remains unclear. Here we exploited the STEARC effect (Spatial-Temporal Association of Response Codes), which consists of faster coding of “short“ durations with motor responses in the left side of space and of “long” durations with responses in the right side. The STEARC shows that in western cultures time is mentally represented as flowing from left-to-right. In two experiments with adult participants, we analysed the STEARC as a function of response speed. In both the sub- and supra-second ranges, we found no STEARC effect at fast responses and a significant STEARC only at slow responses. This first demonstrate that space slowly takes over a faster non-spatial processing of time flow. These two mechanisms of time coding co-exist, interact dynamically, and their behavioral effects can be disentangled.
