A Social Perception Theory of the Endowment Effect
Authors: Ziano Ignazio , Villanova Daniel
Published: April 2021

In nine experiments (total N = 2107, with British, French, and U.S. American participants), this paper proposes and tests a social perception theory of the endowment effect. First, the authors show that buyers are more likely to focus on themselves, and that sellers are more likely to focus on buyers. Then, the authors show that the endowment effect is mediated by misperceptions that sellers have about buyers’ features. Sellers base their willingness-to-accept in part on their biased perceptions of the buyers. Since individuals misconstrue others in many ways that contribute to increases in features linked with willingness-to-pay, this contributes to the endowment effect. Consistent with this explanation, the authors find that selling prices can be moderated by changing the description of the counterpart in several ways, to the point of reversing the endowment effect for positively valued goods. Further, the authors find a stronger endowment effect for products considered highly materialistic. Theoretically, these findings support a new explanation for the endowment effect and connect research on the endowment effect with research about misperceptions of others. Practically, the authors discuss ways of improving negotiations and pricing centered around correcting misperceptions of others.
Individual behaviors and beyond: Toward a multidimensional view of gamer identity
Authors: Steltenpohl Crystal Nicole , Reed Jordan , Keys Christopher
Published: April 2021

Aims. “Gamers” have historically been described via consumption habits and other unidimensional definitions such as genres played. Increasingly, researchers understand social identity as situated within multidimensional contexts, including community members’ interactions with other members and society at large.Methods and results. Our qualitative study involving 434 fighting game community members suggests this expanded, more multidimensional view of social identity is a more accurate reflection of how people who play games view their identities. Our findings focused on four themes of gamer identity: (1) behaviors, (2) player motivations, (3) centrality, and (4) negative perceptions.Conclusion. Our research complements more recent research on gamer identity incorporating individual-level gaming habits or preferences and group-level identities emerging from out-of-game and/or in-game worlds. In this way, we consider the influence of multiple contexts on individual identity. Understanding the influence of various social contexts can provide better insight into the multidimensional nature of gamer identity.
Challenges and opportunities for the future of Brain-Computer Interface in neurorehabilitation
Authors: Simon Colin , Bolton David A E , Kennedy Niamh , Soekadar Surjo R. , ruddy kathy
Published: April 2021

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) provide a unique technological solution to circumvent the damaged motor system. For neurorehabilitation, the BCI can be used to translate neural signals associated with movement intentions into tangible feedback for the patient, when they are unable to generate functional movement themselves. Clinical interest in BCI is growing rapidly, as it would facilitate rehabilitation to commence earlier following brain damage, and provides options for patients who are unable to partake in traditional physical therapy. However, substantial challenges with existing BCI implementations have prevented its widespread adoption. Recent advances in knowledge and technology provide opportunities to facilitate a change, provided that researchers and clinicians using BCI agree on standardisation of guidelines for protocols and shared efforts to uncover mechanisms. We propose that addressing the speed and effectiveness of learning BCI control are priorities for the field, which may be improved by multimodal or multi-stage approaches harnessing more sensitive neuroimaging technologies in the early learning stages, before transitioning to more practical, mobile implementations. Clarification of the neural mechanisms that give rise to improvement in motor function is an essential next step towards justifying clinical use of BCI. In particular, quantifying the unknown contribution of non-motor mechanisms to motor recovery calls for more stringent control conditions in experimental work.Here we provide a contemporary viewpoint on the factors impeding the scalability of BCI. Further, we provide a future outlook for optimal design of the technology to best exploit its unique potential, and best practices for research and reporting of findings.
Parent-for-child Mask Wearing Behavior during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Investigation of Attitudes, Beliefs and Norms using the Theory of Planned Behavior
Authors: Coroiu Adina , Moran Chelsea , Lindsay Brittany , Geller Alan
Published: April 2021

Background: Mask continue to be a necessity until a large proportion of the population, including children, receive immunizations for COVID-19. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parental attitudes and beliefs about masks and parent-for-child mask behavior using the Theory of Planned Behavior.Method: We administered a survey in August 2020 to parents of school-aged children residing in the United States and Canada. Measures included sociodemographic variables for the parent and child, attitudes, norms and perceived control over children’s mask use, and enforcement of mask wearing among children (also titled “parent-for-child mask behavior”). Data were anlyzed using structural equation modelling. Results: We collected data from 866 parents and 43.5% had children with pre-existing health conditions (e.g., allergies, anxiety, impulsivity, skin sensitivity, asthma) that made extended mask wearing difficult. Among the full sample, negative attitudes (β=-.20, p = .006), norms (β = .41, p = .002), and perceived control (β = .33, p = .006) predicted intentions. Norms (β = .50, p = .004) and intentions (β = .28, p = .003) also predicted parent-for-child mask use, while attitudes and perceived control did not. Intentions mediated the associations between the predictors (attitudes, norms, perceived control) and outcome (mask behavior). Subgroup analyses revelaved intentions as the key predictor of parent-for-child mask use among children with pre-conditions and norms as the key predictor among children without pre-conditions.Conclusion: Future public health messaging should target parental intentions, attitudes and beliefs about masks wearing among children.
Mechanisms Underlying Transfer from Domain-Specific and Domain-General Cognitive Training to Children’s Math Skills
Authors: Ribner Andrew David , Libertus Melissa
Published: April 2021

Math achievement is one of the strongest predictors of later life outcomes, and much of what comprises later math is decided by the time children enter kindergarten. Individual differences in precision of approximate representations of number and mapping between non-symbolic and symbolic number representations predict math achievement and honing these representations improves math skills. The goal of this registered report is to disentangle potential mechanisms of transfer. Approximately 324 preschool-aged children will be assigned to one of three, 5-week computerized, teacher-facilitated training conditions to target their approximate number system, symbolic number skills, and executive function to better understand whether changes in approximate number system acuity, mapping between number representations, or attention to number underlie successful transfer of skill training.
Home, sweet home? The impact of working from home on the division of unpaid work during the COVID-19 lockdown
Authors: Derndorfer Judith , Disslbacher Franziska , Lechinger Vanessa , Mär Katharina , Six Eva
Published: April 2021

A lockdown implies a shift from the public to the private sphere, and from market to non-market production, thereby increasing the volume of unpaid work. Already before the pandemic, unpaid work was disproportionately borne by women. This paper studies the effect of working from home for pay (WFH), due to a lockdown, on the change in the division of housework and childcare within couple households. While previous studies on the effect of WFH on the reconciliation of work and family life and the division of labour within the household suffered from selection bias, we are able to identify this effect by drawing upon the shock of the first COVID-19 lockdown in Austria. The corresponding legal measures left little choice over WFH. In any case, WFH is exogenous, conditional on a small set of individual and household characteristics we control for. We employ data from a survey on the gendered aspects of the lockdown. The dataset includes detailed information on time use during the lockdown and on the quality and experience of WFH. Uniquely, this survey data also includes information on the division, and not only magnitude, of unpaid work within households. Austria is an interesting case in this respect as it is characterized by very conservative gender norms. The results reveal that the probability of men taking on a larger share of housework increases if men are WFH alone or together with their female partner. By contrast, the involvement of men in childcare increased only in the event that the female partner was not able to WFH. Overall, the burden of childcare, and particularly homeschooling, was disproportionately borne by women.
Regimes, Leaders, and Lockdowns: Who Responded More Quickly to the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Authors: Wehner Joachim , Hallerberg Mark
Published: April 2021

Explanations of the speed of policy responses to COVID-19 highlight two sets of arguments. One focuses on regime type. Did autocracies, with fewer institutional constraints and high coercive power, lock down more quickly than democracies? The second concerns the “type” of health policymaker. Did governments led by doctors or natural scientists respond more quickly, and did men and populists delay lockdown? We examine these relationships with a global dataset of political regimes and relevant traits of 188 political leaders and health ministers in office at the start of the pandemic. Our setup addresses concerns about reciprocal causation and sample selection bias and proves robust to potential confounders. We find autocracies locked down more slowly than democracies, while leader traits appear not to matter. However, medical doctors in the health portfolio are associated with lower likelihood of lockdown, suggesting they may have provided cover for leaders hesitant to do so.
Voting Advice Applications and Electoral Participation: A Multi-Method Study
Authors: Garzia Diego , Trechsel Alexander , De Angelis Andrea
Published: April 2021

Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) help users casting a vote by offering an explicit ranking of viable options. The wide amount of readily available information provided by VAAs to users has been shown to contribute to reducing the transactional costs involved in gathering relevant political information. Available evidence also supports the idea that VAA users are more likely to cast a ballot in elections as a result. The extent to which electoral participation is caused by using a VAA, however, remains unclear. Against this background, we reassess the mobilizing effect of VAAs by means of a multi-method approach. Our cross-sectional analysis of 12 national election study data sets provides further support to the idea that VAA usage increases users’ chances of casting a ballot in elections as compared to non-users. This conclusion is strengthened by the results of a randomized field experiment conducted in the context of the 2013 Italian parliamentary election.

Published: April 2021

Traditional ritual is a kind of expression of art and culture as well as a form of human appreciation of nature, gained through long term and perpetual processes. Traditional ritual thus can thus be regarded as traditional wisdom. Kawin Cai is one of the traditional rituals in Kuningan society derived from inter religious views. Through this ritual we could tell that the people respect their natural environment for sustainable living. Nonetheless, most of the symbolic practices in the ritual are no longer understood by the people, so that anthropological approach is needed to interpret them.
A Taqriz for a Nineteenth Century Indonesian Manuscript
Authors: Kaptein Nico J.G.
Published: April 2021

In medieval Arabic literature a taqr³§ is a written endorsement of a certain text, which a prestigious scholar provides at the request of another scholar to support the latter’s new writing. In this sense it can be compared to the contemporary “blurb”, to advertise a new book. The taqr³§ is important because it connects and offers insights into active networks of like-minded scholars. Unfortunately this topic is still insufficiently studied and the present paper aims to make a contribution to this subject. The research examines an original taqr³§ from the nineteenth century which a scholar in Batavia obtained from his former teacher in Mecca. The paper shows that the taqr³§ is also in existence in more modern times and even beyond the Arab world.

In order to complete studies at the University of Law Faculty of August 17, 1945 Samarinda, one of the tasks that must be completed is scientific writing, this imiah writing is entitled: "Juridical Review of the Fall of the Right to Prosecute under the Criminal Law Act". This scientific research method uses normative juridies.The violation of the right to sue is regulated in Chapter VII of the Criminal Code, while the violation of the right to sue is regulated in the Criminal Code, namely:The principle of "Ne bis in idem" (Article 76 of the Criminal Code).Death of the perpetrator (Article 77 of the Criminal Code).Expiry (Article 78 of the Criminal Code).Settlement of cases outside court trials (Article 82 of the Criminal Code).Amnesty and Abolition from the President (Article 14 of the 1945 Constitution).There are no complaints on complaints offenses.This provision contained in the Criminal Code is to provide legal certainty for the community specifically the perpetrators of criminal acts. Provisions for the cancellation of the right to sue are the duties and functions of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia based on Law 16 of 2004.The fall of the right to sue is caused by: 1) natural causes, 2) causes of human actions, and 3) legal causes It is hoped that the rules on the cancellation of the right to sue can be further emphasized in the new draft Law on Criminal Law (RKUHP) to provide legal certainty to the public. Likewise, cases of minor criminal acts (tipiring) should be resolved outside the court to avoid the accumulation of cases in court and the excess capacity of State Detention Centers or Penitentiaries.

Published: April 2021

This paper aimed to understand what the academic elites think about the student's university decision process and achieve students' future goals from studying at foreign universities. Because the success of studying abroad is believed to be closely related to the process of selecting university candidates with all the advantages and prestige of each university offered during recruitment promotions, to understand this, we searched for data sources electronically from various international journals and promotional advertisements. We processed this in a phenomenological approach that begins with understanding the problem and the study's hypothesis—the coding system, evaluation, and in-depth interpretation to get the findings' validity and reliability. Our data sources are based on Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, and other sources from 2010 to 2021. Based on the results of the discussion of the findings data, we can conclude our findings, among others. The decision to study abroad is first beginning with the right subject, course content, sports and societies, student accommodation, and scholarship availability. To get that information, applicants have to research alumni meetings, scholarship tours and promotions, western or eastern countries, and use multiple information sources. Thus, these findings should help prospective students and universities explore prospective international students' advertisements.

Abstract. Introduction. In modern economic researches, scientists emphasize that one of the priority factors that determine the quality of economic growth of any country is the advanced development of innovation sectors of economic activity and industries, and, above all, machine building. In Ukraine, machine building is traditionally called the driver of Ukrainian economy development. The structure of machine-building includes the production of machinery, the production of electrical, electronic and optical equipment, and the production of vehicles. Now, enterprises of the machine-building industry need to constantly monitor the state of profitability. After all, profit not only reflects the end result of the business, but also determining the efficiency of enterprises functioning. Purpose. The profitability trend analysis of machine-building enterprises in Ukraine is considered as the main objective of the current research. Results. The net profit received by machine-building enterprises increased almost 4 times. In 2019 the profit rate was 19852119.3 thousand UAH, which is 15647263.4 thousand UAH more than in 2010. Moreover, the share of enterprises that made a profit increased by 17% and amounted to 75.3%. The structure of financial results of machine-building enterprises show, that the largest share of profits came from the production of vehicles and equipment – 31% and 27%, respectively. Almost 20% of the industry’s profit comes from the production of vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers. Enterprises that produce electrical equipment produce 15% of the total profit of the machine-building complex. The smallest part is made up of business engaged in the production of computers, electronic and optical products – only 9%. Conclusions. In order to increase the efficiency of machine-building enterprises of Ukraine, it is advisable to implement the following measures: to form an effective functional structure of the organization of enterprises; to use economically effective levers of influence on functioning and management of a machine-building complex in the conditions of unstable social processes; to improve the territorial organization of the machine-building complex; to subsidize interest rates on loans obtained for the purpose of technical re-equipment of enterprises. Keywords: profit; profitability; machine-building industry; efficiency of activity.
The Variations in Verb-Preposition Combinations in the GloWbE Corpus and Its Usage in Informal Englishes
Authors: Hossain Kazi Amzad
Published: April 2021

This paper is based on the Corpus of Global Web-based English (GloWbE) which was compiled by Mark Davies in 2013. The GloWbE corpus consists of web data from 20 different English speaking countries. This research is constructed on the GloWbE corpus to investigate the variations in certain verb-preposition combinations in informal Englishes. As the corpus is divided into two sections, such as – general and blog, this study is based on the blog section to compare web data from two inner circle countries such as The USA and Great Britain and two outer circle countries such as – India and Bangladesh. The reason for selecting the blog is that, in the GloWbE corpus, blog section consists of informal data, whereas general section consists of formal data. It is to be noted that the inner circle countries use English as their native tongue, whereas the outer circle countries use English as their second or foreign language. This paper argues that, the verb-preposition combinations or prepositional verbs vary in their frequency and meaning in the aforementioned countries and this paper investigates the following five prepositional verbs from The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language proposed by Huddleston and Pullum in 2002– come up with, look out for, put up with, stand up to, and get along with in the GloWbE corpus to prove that the frequency and meaning of these phrases varies from country to country based on social, cultural and political contexts as seen in the results. The investigation specifically shows the trends of the above five prepositional verbs in the four countries.

Published: April 2021

Curriculum is the basic tool used in the pedagogical process. Every education system fails if it is not developed to meet the needs of those for whom it is designed. In this research, it has been observed that the existing National Curriculum for the English Language (2006) is not fulfilling the language-based needs of the Pakistani learners. The intermediate level is the terminal level for students to discontinue education and get a job or continue learning in various advanced fields. The existing theoretical curriculum is different in terms of the practical application of English in a real-life situation. Paulo Freire’s theory of problem-posing education supports the present study. Data was collected through teacher and student questionnaires filled by intermediate students of both the public and private sectors and for the analysis of collected data CIPP model of Stufflebeam was used. For computational analysis, MS Excel was used. The results showed that learners’ creative writing skills and verbal skills are not improving satisfactorily and a gap was also found in teaching methodologies that are being currently used for teaching English. The present study is beneficial for providing the ground realities and practical needs of teachers and students in teaching and learning process. It would be helpful also for the stakeholders while designing the curriculum and syllabus.
Transcendentalism: The Anatomization of Ted Hughes’ Works
Authors: Bukhari Abeera
Published: April 2021

This research anatomizes Ted Hughes’s works as in Ted Hughes: Collected Poems edited by Paul Keegan, in the light of Transcendentalism. The primary aim of this research is to identify and explicate the streaks of Transcendentalism in Hughes’s work. The secondary aim is to decipher Hughes’s use of Soul Alchemy as a magical, transforming power. The objective of this research is to prove the existence of a Supreme Being. It also discusses both Transcendentalism and Hughes’s spirituality, side by side. The research shows there lies organic unity in everything and everything has divinity within it, and that there is an urge in all to explore the Self and the unknown. This also explicates the common spiritual Truth underlying all religions, the value of intuition and fourfold vision. The study fills the gap in research on Transcendentalism and its overpowering position in Hughes’s works, which makes this unique. It also expounds the occult powers of poetry. Transcendentalism, Husserl’s Phenomenology, Huxley’s Perennial Philosophy and Jung’s Alchemy and Individuation also have been critically viewed as groundwork for this research. Thematic, phenomenological and psychological approaches have been employed to analyze the Transcendentalism in Hughes’s works. The preternatural abilities of Hughes are examined in this study. Future researchers can satisfy their spiritual needs and can form their research by becoming acquainted to his work in the light of Transcendentalism as is deciphered in this study.

La presente exposición tiene por objetivo describir la situación socioeconómica y política de las y los trabajadores del retail de La Araucanía, Chile, en relación con la labor que desempeñan en sus respectivas organizaciones económicas. El sector aludido constituye uno de los ejes centrales de la economía nacional, tornándose relevante área de investigación respecto a las condiciones de los trabajadores tanto en el espacio productivo como reproductivo. Ello, da cuenta de la importancia del trabajo como categoría analítica que trasciende lo vinculado netamente al espacio-tiempo laboral. A partir de una metodología cuantitativa, donde se aplicó un cuestionario a 205 trabajadores de cinco empresas de la región, se logró identificar aspectos críticos respecto a cuestiones de carácter salarial, satisfacción laboral, bienestar emocional y clima laboral. Dentro de los hallazgos destaca la existencia de salarios precarios; percepción de automatización laboral; escaso tiempo dedicado para el goce individual; sensación de inseguridad respecto a la estabilidad en la empresa; contradicciones ideológicas entre la militancia política y la condición/posición de clase social y una percepción sobre un trabajo poco valorado por parte de los empresarios. Estos resultados permiten analizar de manera crítica y propositiva las estrategias organizacionales adoptadas por el retail, dando cuenta de las contradicciones históricas emanadas de la relación entre capital y trabajo.

FEM-Based Benchmark Problem for Cogging Torque Minimization of Axial Flux Permanent-Magnet Motors in Artap Framework
Authors: Nyitrai Attila , Orosz Tamás
Published: April 2021

Optimization of axial flux permanent-magnet motors is a very important topic in the literature and requires high performance optimization algorithms and finite element analysis. This paper gives a summary of the analysis methods of axial flux permanent-magnet motors currently available in the literature. An open-circuit model was built and described using the 2D Linear Motor Modeling Approach. The model was validated by comparing air-gap flux-density waveform and cogging torque results with one of the motors described in the literature as a benchmark problem. The aim of the study was to create a method for the axial-flux motor optimization based on the open-circuit finite element model using the Ārtap software. By applying the described method, it is possible to use local and global optimization algorithms, such as evolutionary and genetic algorithms, directly using the finite element analysis results. The proposed finite element model can be used for benchmarking and selecting the most appropriate evolutionary and genetic algorithms for this kind of optimization problems.

La via de la imatge ens aporta els fonaments d'un accés ric i profund a la psique: un enfocament basat en un coneixement objectiu de com traduir el significat d'imatges (imatges de somnis, imatges de fantasia, imatges de pel·lícules, de la literatura, de l'art i, fins i tot, dels titulars de la premsa) a un llenguatge que podem usar per a comprendre'ns a nosaltres mateixos i entendre el nostre món.

Les propostes d'aquest llibre són sorprenents per les seves implicacions:
• Hi ha una manera veritablement objectiva d'arribar a conèixer la psique humana
• Podem regenerar a través del poder transformador de les imatges perquè les imatges són els portadors de l'energia de la psique
• Cada un de nosaltres té un llenguatge pictòric personal que cal entendre perquè se'ns pugui comprendre
• Cada imatge té un sistema de coordenades precises, una estructura innata, una sèrie de directrius objectives que ens informen sobre com podem procedir i actuar, ja sigui en l'entorn terapèutic o en la vida en general.

Tota persona interessada en conèixer-se, a entendre els seus somnis, en saber com una teràpia pot i hauria de funcionar i com funciona el món de la nostra psique, trobarà en aquest fascinant llibre una guia per a la resta de la seva vida.

Despite its high prevalence in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA), the pathophysiology of silent cerebral infarcts (SCI) remains elusive. The main objective of this study was to explore the respective roles of major determinants of brain perfusion in SCA children with no past or current history of intracranial or extracranial vasculopathy. We used a multimodal approach based notably on perfusion imaging arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS), as well as biomarkers reflecting blood rheology and endothelial activation. Out of 59 SCA patients (mean age 11.4±3.9 yrs), eight (13%) had a total of 12 SCI. Children with SCI had a distinctive profile characterized by decreased blood pressure, impaired blood rheology, increased P-selectin levels, and marked anemia. Although ASL perfusion and oximetry values did not differ between groups, comparison of biological and clinical parameters according to the level of perfusion categorized in terciles showed an independent association between high perfusion and increased sP-selectin, decreased red blood cell deformability, low hemoglobin F level, increased blood viscosity and no a-thalassemia deletion. NIRS measurements did not yield additional novel results. Altogether, these findings argue for early MRI detection of SCI in children with no identified vasculopathy and suggest a potential role for ASL as an additional screening tool. Early treatment targeting hemolysis, anemia and endothelial dysfunction should reduce the risk of this under diagnosed and serious complication.

Since ancient times the Javanese people have been familiar with the belief system. Before Islam came the beliefs of Animism and dynamism as well as Hindu and Buddhist religions had already developed in Javanese society. Islam is accepted in Javanese society with youth and peace, because preachers have a high tolerance for Javanese culture. One of the forms of cultural acculturation or inherent in the soul of Javanese society is the Nyadran tradition. The Nyadran tradition is a symbolic ritual that is full of meaning Nyadran traditional ceremony includes partially oral folklore because in it there is a form of oral fochlor, namely the prayers used in the ceremony and there is also a form of non-verbal folklore in the form of uba rampe in the ceremony. In socio-cultural terms, the implementation of nyadran tardisi is not only limited to ceremonial cleaning of ancestral burials , salvation (kenduri), making apem cakes, compote, sticky rice, and various snacks from the market which are used as elements of "offerings" as well as being a prerequisite for the ritual prayer procession. However, the nyadran ritual in a socio-cultural context has also become a medium of friendship between families and communities, as well as a social, cultural and religious transformation. Nyadran is an expression and expression of social piety in a society where a sense of mutual cooperation, solidarity, and togetherness is the main pattern of this tradition.
