Influence of Structural Parameters - the Shape of Graphite and Matrix on Change of Ultrasonic Wave Propagation Rate and Value of Attenuation in Graphitic Cast Irons
Authors: Belan Juraj , Tillová Eva , Uhríčik Milan , Pastierovičová Lucia
Published: February 2023

Despite the tendency of the current industry, especially the automotive industry, it is to use modern, light and super-strong materials based on Al or HSLA steels, the application of classic materials such as cast iron still makes sense, especially concerning price and excellent castability. The article presents one of the possible ways of using the ultrasonic non-destructive method in quality control and simplification of the identification of the type of cast iron concerning the change of parameters of ultrasound propagation in materials. The main criteria for assessing the quality and determining the type of graphite cast iron were considered to be the rate of propagation of ultrasound - cL and the value of attenuation - α, which vary depending on the shape of the graphite and matrix. Graphitic cast irons with different graphite shapes (lamellar, vermicular, and globular shapes) and a matrix with different ferrite/perlite ratios were used as experimental material. Along with the ultrasonic tests, a metallographic analysis was also performed to quantify the microstructure of cast irons.

Design, Development And Usability Analysis of Pre-Loved Goods Trading Application With Agile Approach
Authors: Suwarno Suwarno , Kristianti Kristianti
Published: February 2023

Preloved goods are used goods that are still of good quality. When cleaning the house sometimes found a number of Preloved items, where these items are only used once or not used at all and stored for quite a long time at home. Used goods that accumulate in the house make the room in the house even narrower. Therefore, Preloved items are more profitable if they are sold rather that being thrown away or stored. Besides that, selling Preloved items can get extra money and help in environmental preservation. So the writer got an idea how to use a website as a marketplace to sell Preloved goods in Batam city, namely the Batam Preloved Shop. Batam residents get information on Preloved items they want to buy through this marketplace. The method used in designing and developing the Batam Preloved Shop is Agile. Next, test the system by testing the Black Box and System Usability Scale (SUS). The results of the Black Box test show that the Batam Preloved Shop system is running as expected and an analysis of user satisfaction using the System Usability Scale (SUS) obtains an average value of 81, so it can be concluded that the Batam Preloved Shop system has been running well according to its functions and uses

The development of information technology impacts the use of technology in all fields and the many applications created to support the performance of companies, schools and even MSMEs. Today's very high-end app creation is not accompanied by good-quality support. Good software quality is one of the factors determining a software's success. The software created must be tested for software quality to reduce the loss of software procurement costs, time, and resources. To obtain good software quality, developers must carry out extra activities and a long process by implementing the ISO 9126 model. Six factors are used to determine software quality: functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, portability, and portability. Keluarahan Sambikerep, Kecamatan Sambikerep, Surabaya, East Java, has developed an E-Letter application to serve the public in administrative activities. Still, the E-Letter application has not been tested for software quality. Researchers conduct quality testing of E-Letter software to ensure that the application complies with International Standards for software quality. By knowing the quality of the E-Letter software, it will automatically have an impact on the services provided by Kelurahan. Researchers use three factors from ISO 9126: functionality, usability, and efficiency. Researchers used black box testing with the equivalence partitions technique to test the E-Letter software. Researchers conducted 30 black box tests on the E-Letter application feature, namely the Login feature, citizen data submission form, birth certificate submission form, death certificate application form, citizen data report form, birth certificate report form, and death report form. From the ISO 9126 Implementation Process for the E-Letter application, an average rating of 81,667% or rounded up to 82% is obtained, which means that the E-Letter application has outstanding quality
A Review of the Japanese Corporate Presence in Central Asia: Two Waves of Japanese Business Entry into the Central Asian Region
Authors: Dadabaev Timur , Shinohara Kenji , Djalilova Nigora
Published: February 2023

This paper reviews the history of Japanese corporate penetration in the CA region. It identifies two waves of Japanese corporate entry into the CA region over the last 30 years. The first wave started with Japanese companies entering energy-related projects and infrastructure development based on ODA (Official Development Assistance). In the second wave, in the 2010s, Japanese corporate interests were more diverse, and the Japanese business community members in CA entered new areas, such as financing by megabanks, international transportation, and digital technologies.

This paper divides the problems faced by Japanese companies into those related to the logistics of the region and those related to a lack of economic infrastructure. Among the logistic problems are the size of the market and the difficulty of transportation due to the location of the region, with no access to major seaports.

Higher education such as universities, colleges and other high schools education management is applied differently from secondary or primary education institutions because it is more complex. Educational institutions must carry out educational programs as well as possible so that the quality of education is increasingly advanced. In order to carry out education as well as possible, it is necessary to have good management or institutional management. The development of information and communication technology has given many roles in the world of education. Not only applied in direct learning, but in the implementation of management of educational institutions is also needed so that it can support the course of learning and lectures. Many universities have used information technology to support their activities. In general, computer technology is used to support administrative processes, such as academic administration, finance, and personnel. The emergence of problems like the one above and the way universities deal with them shows that universities still view the implementation of information technology as something that is "separate" from the business processes they carry out. Whereas information technology should be an enabler for various efforts to improve quality, effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability in tertiary institutions.

In the educational process, students are active subjects and objects. They are said to be subjects because they play an active role as the main actors in the learning process, while they are said to be objects because they are the targets of students to be developed by educators. 3 If students are used as targets, then they must act as active subjects in learning facilitated by the school, namely one of them is by implementing student management that can stimulate all the potential that exists within them. Growing student motivation is one of the techniques in developing the ability and willingness to learn. One logical way to motivate students in learning is to relate learning experiences to student motivation. Increasing student learning motivation is based on the belief that student learning motivation has implications, not only on the learning outcomes obtained, but also on the benefits of the entire learning process. Slavin argues that motivated students will be easily directed, given assignments, tend to have great curiosity, are active in seeking information about the material explained by the teacher and use higher cognitive processes to learn and absorb the lessons given (Sharif, ).

O objetivo deste artigo é identificar na literatura como a eficácia tem sido medida em bancos de DNA forenses. O método utilizado foi a revisão sistemática de artigos empíricos e artigos de revisão, entre os anos de 1997 e 2020. Os resultados demonstram que a eficácia dos bancos de DNA tem sido medida por diferentes indicadores, a depender do nível de análise, sendo eles a quantidade de: matches, hits, investigações auxiliadas, casos resolvidos, indivíduos presos ou condenados. A relevância desta pesquisa deve-se à necessidade de estabelecer as variáveis que estão relacionadas ao processo de confronto genético, e como elas podem contribuir para a construção de modelos inferenciais de análise. Contudo, é preciso um exame além do âmbito de investigação, de forma que sejam acompanhados os casos a partir de seu registro até o trânsito em julgado no processo judicial, permitindo critérios mais acurados na avaliação dos serviços públicos relacionados. Para isso, é necessária estrutura informacional integrada. Com essa revisão sistemática e proposição de uma agenda de pesquisa, contribui-se para o tema investigado, à luz da Administração Pública e, mais especificamente, da Administração da Justiça.

A pesquisa busca entender o impacto da violência política e da violência urbana na participação política de ativistas negros no estado do Rio de Janeiro, bem como o entrelaçamento dessas maneiras de violência racial. Foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 11 militantes de organizações políticas e movimentos sociais. O texto aborda o papel do Estado para aprofundar as desigualdades políticas através do uso da violência como forma de dominação. A partir do material empírico, conclui-se que a violência nos territórios é um desestímulo para o associativismo negro porque cria um significado coletivo para a população negra e, por essa razão, se expressa de maneira tão explícita e fisicamente violenta. Existe um esforço de grupos milicianos e de policiais para silenciar os militantes através do uso do medo como ferramenta para a construção do sentido de ser militante.

Published: February 2023

Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has affected our lives at macro, meso, and micro levels, disrupted educational practices, caused challenges for university teachers but created opportunities as well. The study aimed to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats which university teachers envision in their work during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was performed by using the survey with the help of the questionnaire created by the authors and a Standardized STAI form (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), constructed by Spielberger. The data were analysed with the help of SPSS v 21. The participants were 140 teachers (80 females, 60 males), aged between 30-50, from 6 universities of Ukraine. Strengths suggested by the teaching staff of Ukrainian universities: good relationships with students and administration, the grading system in universities, satisfying working conditions, good socializing, good experience, and moral satisfaction. Weaknesses: low salary, huge workload, bad technical support. The disadvantage of online teaching mentioned in the study is the absence of live communication. Other drawbacks of online teaching are as follows: online classes and preparation require more time and good time-management skills. Online teaching may create a sense of isolation. Lack of appropriate resources, power cuts were some of the challenges that teachers faced during their virtual classes. Some more issues mentioned by the teachers: passive students and difficulties in encouraging collaboration. The following Opportunities were identified in this research: the opportunity to develop skills, creativity, the opportunity of further education/teacher training, the opportunity to realize plans, the opportunity of promotion. The teachers pointed out the following threats at work which they anticipate: conflicts with colleagues, unhealthy competition, loss of job, high demands, great responsibility. The findings suggest that the pandemic affects the mental health of both male and female university teachers; the levels of state and trait anxiety are higher among women. This research can serve as a basis for in-depth study of such issues as job satisfaction, well-being, and mental health.

SOCIAL ANXIETY AMONG STUDENTS DURING COVID-19: THE ROLE OF EARLY MALADAPTIVE SCHEMAS
Authors:   Ukrainian Catholic University, Avramchuk Oleksandr
Published: February 2023

The article focuses on social anxiety issues and predisposition to social anxiety disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely the study of dysfunctional schemes as predictors of psycho-emotional distress and social dysfunction in terms of adaptation to new education requirements under quarantine restrictions. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic, appropriate quarantine restrictions, and changes in educational activity have become a significant challenge to maintain psychological well-being among students. Physical ("social") distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic can be expected to make it easier for people to avoid communication while providing short-term relief. On the other hand, there is strengthening by avoiding behavioral and cognitive strategies as meaningful. Social constraints, which allow more avoidance of social judgment, also mask persistent functional impairments associated with pre-existing levels of social anxiety. The analysis's emphasis is on expectations of negative social evaluation, denial of one's own needs, and uncertainty about the future in the context of distance learning may increase vulnerability to social anxiety disorder upon completion of quarantine restrictions and the need to return to everyday life. The author summarizes that analysis of the psycho-emotional discomfort associated with social anxiety among students during the pandemic related to the intensity of early maladaptive schemas. The performed study has expanded understanding of the mechanisms of vulnerability to psychosocial dysfunction in this group. The literature review proposed in the article and the results obtained may interest mental health practitioners. They may help develop education activities in distance learning settings during a pandemic and psychological support activities for students focused on correcting negative social interaction experiences and limited autonomy.
CALVI: Critical Thinking Assessment for Literacy in Visualizations
Authors: Ge Lily W. , Cui Yuan , Kay Matthew
Published: February 2023

Visualization misinformation is a prevalent problem, and combating it requires understanding people’s ability to read, interpret, and reason about erroneous or potentially misleading visualizations, which lacks a reliable measurement: existing visualization literacy tests focus on well-formed visualizations. We systematically develop an assessment for this ability by: (1) developing a precise definition of misleaders (decisions made in the construction of visualizations that can lead to conclusions not supported by the data), (2) constructing initial test items using a design space of misleaders and chart types, (3) trying out the provisional test on 497 participants, and (4) analyzing the test tryout results and refining the items using Item Response Theory, qualitative analysis, a wrong-due-to-misleader score, and the content validity index. Our final bank of 45 items shows high reliability, and we provide item bank usage recommendations for future tests and different use cases. Related materials are available at: https://osf.io/pv67z/.
Decent Work and Work Outcomes Among Chinese Employees: A Latent Profile Analysis
Authors: Liu Rachel
Published: February 2023

Decent work is a popular topic of vocational psychology from the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT), yet no research on decent work has been conducted in the Chinese context from a person-centered perspective. The present study applies latent profile analysis and uses the 5 subfactors of the Decent Work Scale (DWS) as indicators. The following four profiles are identified based on a sample of 487 Chinese workers: 1) indecent work; 2) moderate indecent work; 3) moderate decent work; 4) decent work. According to the results, both differences and similarities can be recognized between the emerging decent work profiles in China and the United States. In addition, this research investigates the relations between the decent work profiles and work outcomes from PWT (i.e., work well-being, life well-being, work meaning, affective commitment, engagement, and turnover intention) and reveals that all work outcomes differ significantly across the four profiles. Implications and future directions of the results are discussed.

Health and environmental implications of food consumption: What do people want to know?
Authors: Gruener Sven , Mußhoff Oliver
Published: February 2023

Contradicting rational choice, people sometimes do not want information even if it is free (information avoidance). People may want to enjoy the pleasure of unhealthy food wrapped in plastic packaging today and do not want to be informed about the long-term consequences for their health and the environment. Using a quota-representative survey of the German population (N=1,000), we aim to identify behavioral determinants that are associated with information avoidance in the food sector. Participants are asked to what extent they do (not) want to receive information in the realm of the food sector using 10 different hypothetical situations. Information avoidance is measured on a 5-point Likert scale (1=“Definitely want to know” to 5=“Definitely don’t want to know”). This procedure ensures that relatively poor people do not give systematically biased answers due to a lack of financial resources. Our findings can be summarized as follows: First, preferences/personality traits can partly predict information avoidance. For example, positive reciprocity, altruism, internal locus of control, and self-esteem are negatively associated with information avoidance. The relevance of trust and patience is limited to environmental-related consequences. Second, individuals are less willing to forgo information the better they rate their health status. Dietary habits can better predict information avoidance than diseases such as food allergy, cardiovascular, cholesterol, or diabetes. Third, women and men are more likely not to avoid information if they find it useful. Risk-seeking, altruism, and positive reciprocity are, roughly speaking, stronger negatively pronounced with men—trust is stronger negatively pronounced with women.

A focus on different types of organic matter particles and their significance in the open ocean carbon cycle
Authors: Baumas Chloé , Bizic Mina
Published: February 2023

Marine particles are key to the cycling of major elements on Earth and play an important role in the balance of nutrients in the ocean. Three main categories ofmarine particles link the different parts of the open ocean by shaping carbon distribution: (i) sinking; (ii) suspended, and (iii) ascending. Atmospheric carboncaptured by phytoplankton in the surface water, is partly sequestered by sinking particles to the bottom of the ocean and plays an important role in controlling globalclimate. Suspended particles represent a significant source of organic carbon for heterotrophic microorganisms and are more likely to undergo remineralizationcompared to sinking particles. Ascending particles, depending on their composition, point of origin, and ascending velocity, may lead to carbon remineralization inthe upper layers of the ocean in closer proximity to the atmosphere. Marine particles are hotspots of microbial activity and thus heavily colonized by microorganismswhose dynamics play an important role in organic matter degradation, aggregation and sinking, thus directly influencing the biological carbon pump efficiency.Microbiomes of marine particles differ depending on particle size, source, and age. Nevertheless, these factors are generally overlooked, and particles are mostlystudied as “bulk” without considering the high heterogeneity between individual particles. This hinders our understanding of the carbon budget in the ocean and thusfuture predictions of climate change. In this review we examine known particle-types and associated sampling methods and identify knowledge gaps and emphasizethe need for a better understanding of the single-particle ecosystem to enhance global upscaling rates. Furthermore, we introduce a novel concept: the ‘lipid carbonshunt’.
Improving Mental Health by Training the Suppression of Unwanted Thoughts
Authors: Mamat Zulkayda , Anderson Michael
Published: February 2023

Anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and depression dramatically increased worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic. People with these conditions experience distressing intrusive thoughts yet conventional therapies often urge them to avoid suppressing their thoughts because intrusions might rebound in intensity and frequency, worsening the disorders. In contrast, we hypothesized that training thought suppression would improve mental health. 120 adults from 16 countries underwent 3 days of online training to suppress either fearful or neutral thoughts. No paradoxical increases in fears occurred. Instead, suppression reduced memory for suppressed fears and rendered them less vivid and anxiety provoking. After training, participants reported less anxiety, negative affect, and depression with the latter benefit persisting at 3 months. Participants high in trait-anxiety and pandemic-related post-traumatic stress gained the largest and most durable mental health benefits. These findings challenge century-old wisdom that suppressing thoughts is maladaptive, offering an accessible approach to improving mental health.

AbstractMany studies have shown that family socioeconomic status (SES) influences the development of children's reading ability, but the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. This study used meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) analysis to examine the mediating role of children's linguistic skills (phonological awareness and vocabulary knowledge) in the relations between SES and reading (accuracy, comprehension and fluency), as well as potential moderators including age, country SES, and SES measurement type based on 83,200 individuals from 458 independent studies. The results indicated that (1) the relations between SES and reading were partially mediated by phonological awareness and vocabulary knowledge; (2) although age, country SES, and SES measurement type did not moderate the direct associations between SES and reading abilities, the moderation effects of age, country SES, and SES measurement type can be exerted through the linguistic mediation pathway: older age, higher country SES, and composite SES index might induce larger indirect impact from SES to reading ability. These results suggested that SES made both direct and indirect effect via linguistic skills on reading. Such a linguistic mediation mechanism may be moderated by age, country SES, and SES measurement. Our findings have important implications for understanding the role of SES in reading development and early screening and intervention for reading impairment.

Background: Deepfakes are AI-generated synthetic media that is increasingly used by cybercriminals to impersonate other individuals during remote social engineering attacks. Previous studies indicated that political orientation is associated with deepfake detection abilities, while being an IT professional is not. Little is known about the cognitive factors predicting individual differences in deepfake detection abilities. In this study, we assess the role of cognitive styles and cognitive flexibility on deepfake recognition skills and metacognitive accuracy. Methods: Cognitive styles and flexibility were measured using an embedded figures test that included a hidden cognitive flexibility task. 247 participants were tasked with rating a series of short video clips as either deepfake or authentic. Metacognitive accuracy was measured as prospective judgements of deepfake detection abilities controlling for actual performance. Results: Cognitive styles were not associated with deepfake detection performance. Cognitively flexible individuals were better at detecting deepfakes and had higher metacognitive accuracy than individuals who were less cognitively flexible. Conclusion: This is the first study assessing the role of cognitive styles and cognitive flexibility in deepfake detection skills and metacognitive judgements about deepfake detection abilities. Our results indicate that cognitively flexible individuals are better at detecting deepfakes and self-assessing social engineering susceptibility.
Impaired Sleep Mediates the Relationship Between Interpersonal Trauma and Subtypes of Delusional Ideation

Published: February 2023

Trauma is a robust risk-factor for delusional ideation. Yet, there is a crucial need to clarify the specificity and processes underlying this relationship. Qualitatively, interpersonal traumas (i.e., trauma caused by another person) appear to have a specific relationship with delusional ideation and furthermore seem most relevant to paranoia, a subtype of delusional ideation, given the commonality of social threat. However, these observations have not been empirically tested and the process by which interpersonal trauma contributes to delusional ideation remains poorly understood. Informed by previous literature, impaired sleep may be a critical mediator, explaining part of the relationship between interpersonal trauma and delusional ideation. Taken together, we hypothesized that interpersonal trauma, but not non-interpersonal trauma, would be positively related to subtypes of delusional ideation, especially paranoia, and that impaired sleep would mediate these relationships. In a large, transdiagnostic community sample (N=478), an exploratory factor analysis of the Peter’s Delusion Inventory identified three subtypes of delusional ideation: magical thinking, grandiosity, and paranoia. Three path models of the above relationships were tested, one for each subtype of delusional ideation. As predicted, paranoia and grandiosity were positively related to interpersonal trauma and unrelated to non-interpersonal trauma. Furthermore, these relationships were significantly mediated by impaired sleep, which appeared strongest for paranoia. In contrast, magical thinking was unrelated to traumatic experiences. These findings support a specific relationship between interpersonal trauma and delusional ideation, with impaired sleep appearing as an important process by which interpersonal trauma contributes to delusional ideation.
Building Wellbeing Through Local Communities: A Mixed Methods Study Using Psychophysiology, Structural Equation Modelling and Ripple Effects Mapping

Local communities offer many opportunities for building wellbeing. Here we report on the impact of Local Area Coordination (LAC) – a positive, person-centred, and community-based approach – on wellbeing using a rigorous mixed-methods design including data from psychophysiological synchrony, a quantitative survey, and qualitative ripple effects mapping. Interactions between coordinators and community members were associated with in-phase cardiac synchrony, suggesting that the coordinators use emotional co-regulation to facilitate autonomic safety and thus build community members’ capacity for self-regulation. Survey data analysed using SEM PLS modelling found that the quality of the coordinator-community member relationship significantly predicted community integration, which in turn, predicted wellbeing. Qualitative feedback further indicated that LAC’s personalised approach to build rapport with coordinators was a key mechanism underpinning its success. Overall, findings support the application of LAC to promote overall wellbeing, providing a much-needed and evidence-based opportunity to reduce the burden on statutory services.
