Published: July 2022

Controlling each member of the soldiers to carry out battle with Non-Playable Characters (NPC) is one of the secrets to winning Real-Time Strategy games. The game could be more complicated and offer a more engaging experience if every NPC acts like humans rather than machines with patterned behavior. Like people during a war, each army member's command requires rapid reflexes and direction to strike or evade attacks. An intelligent opponent based on ANN as NPC can react quickly to their opponents. The accuracy of ANN could be enhanced by weight modifications using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The crossover and mutation rates significantly impact GA's performance as an ANN setup. This research aims to find the best crossover and mutation rates in GA as a weight adjustment in ANN. Experiments were conducted using an RTS game simulator using 20 scenarios on a maximum of 4000 iterations. The initial setup of each troop is random, with a seven-unit type available. In this research, the troops won because their men were subjected to fewer attacks than the opposing forces. The GA optimal crossover and mutation rates are determined using troop victories as a baseline. According to the findings, the best crossover rate for GA as an ANN weight adjustment is 0.6, whereas the specific mutation rate is 0.09. The crossover rate of 0.6 has the highest average win value and tends to increase every generation. As for the mutation rate of 0.09, it has the highest average win value. Thus, this preliminary study can develop NPC more humanly.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables people to exchange value without requiring a third-party intermediary. Due to its many advantages, it has received much interest from institutional and individual investors. Despite its meteoric increase, the price of Bitcoin extremely volatile asset class as it purely relies on supply and demand. This presents an interesting opportunity to create a forecasting model. However, many research papers in this area does not analyse the residuals as part of the forecasting resulting in potentially biased models. In this paper, we demonstrate System Identification (SI) residual analysis techniques to the analysis of our forecasting model. The Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) Nonlinear Autoregressive with Exogeneous Inputs (NARX) uses historical price data and several technical indicators to predict the future price movements of Bitcoin. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm was used to find optimal parameters for the model. The model was able to predict one day ahead price in the prediction test. The model has successfully captured the dynamics of the data through the tests performed on residuals. It is also proving the randomness of residuals, albeit some minor violations.

Published: July 2022

Abstract. This paper aimed to offer a study of ecological mission to construct a theological foundation of mission that bases on ecology perspective. This is considered relevant to the condition of environmental/natural damage which is increasingly affecting all living beings. This study is conducted with an eco-hermeneutic approach to the text of Genesis 1:27-28 and 2:15. From this study, it could be stated that the realization of the ecological mission is part of the fulfillment of the church's missionary character as God's partner in missio Dei. Thus, the church must be actively involved in dealing with ecological problems as part of God's mission to bring peace and salvation to the world.Abstrak. Melalui tulisan ini penulis menawarkan sebuah kajian misi ekologi dengan tujuan menghasilkan sebuah landasan teologi misi yang berporos pada lingkup ekologi. Hal ini dianggap relevan dengan kondisi kerusakan lingkungan/alam yang semakin terasa dampaknya bagi seluruh makhluk hidup. Kajian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan eko-hermeneutik terhadap teks Kejadian 1:27-28 dan 2:15. Dari kajian tersebut dapat dinyatakan bahwa pewujudan misi ekologi merupakan bagian dari pemenuhan karakter misional gereja sebagai rekan kerja Allah dalam missio Dei. Dengan demikian, gereja harus terlibat aktif dalam penanganan persoalan-persoalan ekologi sebagai bagian dari karya misi Allah yang membawa damai dan keselamatan bagi dunia.
Imagining Finland: negotiating the sense of self through return imaginaries
Authors: Riikonen Evi-Carita
Published: July 2022

When embarking on a migration journey, migrants cultivate personal ideas of themselves ‘here’ and ‘there’. This includes one’s reflections about a possible return – the return imaginaries. They emerge from the time-, place- and person-specific ideas, attitudes, feelings and possibilities before, and after, relocation. Through a digital ethnographic study, this paper seeks to expand the research done on how the so-called ‘middling’ migrants negotiate the sense of self through return imaginaries. I discuss one such group, Finns, in the UK and ask ‘what is the role of return imaginaries in negotiating the sense of self in Finns’ translocal place-making in the UK?’. The results show that Finns’ return imaginaries function as a framework for positioning and reaffirming the self in relation to the UK and Finland during one’s migration trajectory. In relation to their idea of return, Finns negotiate the questions ‘who am I?’ and ‘who do I want to be?’. Through reflecting on the everydayness in the UK and Finland, and their ideas about return visits, Finns produce a ‘translocal sense of self’.

Die Geschlechterverhältnisse sind (mal wieder) im Wandel. Ein Symptom dieses Wandels ist die steigende Zahl derjenigen, die sich nicht (mehr) im binär strukturierten Geschlechterverhältnis wiederfinden – vor allem in der Gruppe der Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen. Da diese Generation Z oder POPC (Permanently Online, Permanently Connected) im generationalen Vergleich zum frühesten Lebenszeitpunkt und im Verlauf der Adoleszenz am intensivsten Internetressourcen nutzt, liegt die Frage nahe, welchen Einfluss diese Internetnutzung auf die Entwicklung der geschlechtlichen Identität von Jugendlichen heute hat. Der Beitrag setzt hier an und befasst sich aus psychoanalytisch informierter Perspektive mit der Internetnutzung von transidenten Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen. Anhand von sechs Interviews mit jungen Menschen zwischen 16 und 25 Jahren wird die Bedeutung des Internets für die Identitätsfindung beziehungsweise -entwicklung der Befragten beleuchtet und beschrieben, wie Online-Formate als Ressource zur Bewältigung der spezifischen Anforderungen im Verlauf der Transition genutzt werden.
What it’s like to be a girl

Published: July 2022

In sozialen Medien werden gesellschaftliche Herrschaftsverhältnisse nicht nur abgebildet, sondern potenziell verstärkt, geschwächt oder transformiert. Werden diskriminierende, herabwürdigende Inhalte digital verbreitet, entsteht für die Betroffenen ein Gefühl der Unentrinnbarkeit, da die Reichweite der Botschaften unbegrenzt scheint. Besonders gravierend ist das bei sexueller Gewalt. In dem Artikel wird aufgezeigt, welche Folgen es für die Betroffenen hat, wenn plötzlich Bilder und Videos der eigenen Vergewaltigung über soziale Medien verbreitet werden: vom digitalen Hass bis zum Suizid. In den vorgestellten Beispielen ist auffällig, dass es die Betroffenen sind, die beschuldigt und gedemütigt werden, nicht die Täter. Dieses paradoxe Verhältnis wird anhand der Frage diskutiert, warum sich Scham, Wut und Abwehr nicht gegen die Täter, sondern gegen die Betroffenen wenden. Um dies zu erörtern wird zunächst eingeordnet, was Gruppenvergewaltigungen als Straftat durch männliche Jugendgruppen charakterisiert, wie der gesellschaftliche Umgang durch Rape Culture beeinflusst wird und welche psychodynamischen Muster männlicher Sozialisation dabei zum Ausdruck kommen. Geleitet sind die Darstellungen von der Frage, wie sich misogyne Strukturen im Geschlechterverhältnis etablieren und sich in digitalen, jung-adoleszenten Räumen auf eine spezifische Art entfalten können.
Civil Society Vis a Vis Masyarakat Madani
Authors: Furqon Ahmad
Published: July 2022

Tulisan ini mengkaji dan membandingkan antara konsep civil society dan “masyarakat madani” dari perspektif worldview-nya masing-masing. Bagaimana gambaran civil society dan “masyarakat madani” sebagai konsep dan sistem sosial dibangun oleh tradisi dan kultur masing-masing. Dari kajian ini disimpulkan bahwa penyepadanan istilah civil society dengan masyarakat madani tidaklah tepat. Civil society lahir dan tumbuh berkembang dari tradisi masyarakat Barat yang erat kaitannya dengan nilai, konsep dan doktrin pandangan hidup Barat atau worldview Barat. Sedangkan, masyarakat madani lahir dan dibesarkan di dalam kultur masyarakat dan peradaban Islam yang memproyeksikan dan merepresentasikan din al Islam. Islam tidak hanya sebagai agama ritual, namun Islam menjadi sistem sosial-politik dalam seluruh dimensi-dimensinya yang diatur di dalam worldview Islam. Jadi, secara konseptual dan sistem antara civil society dan masyarakat Islam berbeda. Karena itu, civil society tidak dapat begitu saja diterapkan dalam masyarakat Islam atau pun sebaliknya.
Apakah Islam Agama Eksklusif?
Authors: Jailani Muhammad , Hasibuan Maranaik
Published: July 2022

Salah satu isi hadist yang menjadi referensi dugaan menunjukkan Islam itu ekslusif adalah: “maka seorang Muslim mengangkat tangannya dan menampar si Yahudi”. Tulisan ini ingin menelusuri validitas hadis tersebut, dan pemaknaannya melalui kitab-kitab syarah hadits yang mu’tabar, dan bagaimana kaitannya dengan beragama secara eksklusif. Dari penelusuran ditemukan bahwa hadis tersebut tergolong Shahih karena diriwayatkan oleh Bukhari dalam Shahihnya. Hadis ini tergolong ke dalam beragama secara eksklusif, namun demikian eksklusifisme dalam hadis tersebut, tidaklah vacuum historis, dalam artian ada hal yang menyebabkan terjadinya tamparan, atau tindak kekerasan. Kemarahan Nabi yang tertera dalam hadis tersebut, juga tidak mengarah secara eksplisit dan khusus terhadap tindak “penamparan”, melainkan pada hal Yahudi yang melebihkan Nabi yang satu dengan yang lainnya. Ini artinya, tindakan tersebut hanya bersifat defensif, respon terhadap kondisi yang tidak dibenarkan. Dalam konteks keislaman, eksklusifisme hanya pada tataran teologis, namun toleran pada tataran sosiologis.  
The Recording Preschool Children's performances and reactions through Music Awakening Activities
Authors: Micha Paraskevi
Published: July 2022

Music Education, heretofore referred to as "Musical Awakening" ("MA") of pre-school aged children, isn’t intended to develop musical skills as an academic pursuit but rather hopes to facilitate the blossoming of individual personalities. The goal is to foster enhanced expression, relaxation, communication, and socialization.

To create a pedagogical model of MA, several musical activities were designed.  The aim of the study is to quantify and qualify experimentally acquired data for the purpose of the implementing a pedagogical approach to MA.  Musical aptitude, psychological factors, behavioral characteristics, and reactions were considered and documented.

The sample size consists of 8 children (postnatal and preschool aged) participating in a regimen of 9 educational activities distributed over 5 lessons. A limited statistical sample is presented here.  Our model includes the performance of, and the reaction to, musical activities relative to 4 criteria: Behavior; Expressiveness; Vocalization (participation in song); Mobility (response to percussion instruments).

Ultimately, conclusions are drawn from the acquired data and these observations are summarized here for the purpose of creating a pedagogical model that is useful to teachers.  Casual and anecdotal observations are referenced within this study but are simply stated to provide commentary.

This study is presented for the purpose of enhancing ways by which pre-school music educators can better understand and interact with their pupils.

The main aims of this present work were to investigate the microstructure and wear resistance of AISI 1020 during the pack carburization. The samples were prepared in a rectangular shape with a dimension of 5 mm X 25 mm X 2 mm for microstructure and hardness studies. Another set of samples with a dimension of 4.0 cm x 2.5 cm x 0.5 cm was prepared for the wear resistance performance. Both sets of samples were packed in the steel container which was tightly sealed. The carburizing atmosphere in the container was prepared by using mixtures of powdered charcoal and tamarind catalysts. The carburizing temperature of 950 °C with a fixed carburizing time of 2 hours was controlled for the pack carburizing treatment. The results exhibited that in the fresh condition, AISI 1020 mostly contained ferrite. Nevertheless, after carburization, quenching, and tempering process were carried out, the microstructures of the samples were changed from ferrite to pearlite and then martensite. An increase in the carbon content after carburization plays a major role in the evolution of the high hardness layers which subsequently enhanced the hardness and the wear resistance performance of AISI1020 after quenching and tempering.

The solution to a nonlinear equation is found in this study by combining a classical and a powerful method. Basically, it is well known that the Homotopy Continuation Method (HCM) is a powerful method that has been used for solving the problem of the classical method. A new approach is introduced in this study which is known as the Ostrowski Homotopy Continuation Method (Ostrowski-HCM) with a purpose to overcome the divergence problem that arises from the classical Ostrowski’s method when a bad initial guess is used. To put it simply, when the derivative of a given function at the starting point is equal to zero, the problem arises. As a result, the division by zero renders the scheme invalid. In addition, a mathematical software, Mathematica 7.0, is used to implement the Ostrowski-HCM results. Thus, from the analysis of the results, it is proven that the Ostrowski-HCM is reliable and advantageous for solving the nonlinear equation.

Photostimulated Luminescence (PSL) has been widely used as a rapid screening technique for the detection of various irradiated foods. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of the PSL technique in the detection of low dose-gamma irradiated spices available in the Malaysia market. Samples of clove, coriander, fenugreek, turmeric powder and curry powder were irradiated at very low doses; 0 (control), 0.2, 0.5 and 1 kGy using Cobalt-60 as a source. PSL measurements and analysis were undertaken under subdued lighting following EN 13751 methods. The PSL value in the form of photon counts (PCs/60s) of all samples as a function of the irradiation dose after 7 days of storage were determined which revealed that the PSL value increases proportionally to the radiation dose applied. The PSL also was able to discriminate between the non-irradiated (<700 PCs/60s, negative) and irradiated (>5000 PCs/60s, positive) samples after 7 days of storage. Coriander generates the highest PCs at the lowest dose (0.2 kGy) and highest dose (1 kGy) after that storage period. The PSL value of all spice samples is considered accurate and consistent at all irradiation doses. This technique is highly reliable for the detection of irradiated spices available in the Malaysia market.

The effects of storage on the oxidative deterioration of crude Pear Seeds Oil (PSO), obtained by soxhlet extraction, were studied. Oxidation was monitored after 6 months via several analytical techniques: peroxide value, iodine value, free fatty acids, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The slow detorioration of the oil was an indication that oxidation was strongly dependent on temperature, oxygen availability and the presence of Cu2+. The mass spectra from the GC-MS results reveal the formation of secondary oxidation products, thereby denoting a transformation of primary hydroxyperoxides. This assertion is further strengthen based on the increasing value of the total Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) from 26.09 to 29.44 % and a corresponding decrease for Unsaturated Fatty Acid (UFA) from 71.28 to 68.80 %. Other physicochemical analysis, shows that an average Iodine value recorded a reduction from 40.377 to 39.193 at a rate of 2.9 %, free fatty acid also recorded an increase at 15.18 %. Furthermore, the acid value also recorded a 2.60 % reduction. An increase in the peroxide value from 6.243 to 7.452 at a rate of 16.22 %, is a confirmation of possible formation of secondary oxidation products as revealed by the GC-MS mass spectra. Therefore the need to pay close attention during production, transportation as well as the presence of possible Cu2+ is key to addressing slow oxidation that is capable of impairing the quality of the oil.

Aluminium alloys are widely used in manufacturing industry due to the need of lightweight components and low production cost. However, mechanical assembly of the alloy which requires drilling operations is challenging due to chip accumulation and heat at the cutting tool and workpiece interface. This often causes material adhesion on cutting edges, built-up edge, accelerated tool wear, shorter tool life and poor drilled hole quality. This paper investigates the effect drilling conditions (dry and chilled air at 10°C) on the wear mechanisms of tungsten carbide cutting tools during drilling Aluminium alloy 7075 (Al 7075) at two different feed rates. Chilled or cold air was used as a cooling medium in drilling Al 7075 to promote green manufacturing. Drilling operations of Al 7075 were performed at a constant cutting speed of 123 m/min with feed rates of 0.01 and 0.1 mm/rev. The cutting tools’ flank wear were measured using an optical microscope with Dino-Capture software and further examination on the tool wear (e.g., built-up edge, built-up layer, and crack) were conducted using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results of this study indicate that at higher feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev, adhesive wear is dominant due to the presence of evident material adhesion and fractures on the cutting edges. The use of chilled air was found to cause less material adhesion, however more edge fracture occurred which could be due to workpiece hardening. Therefore, it is inferred that drilling Al 7075 with chilled air requires harder and stronger cutting tool in order prolong the tool life.

Preparing our students for future work roles is a critical component of any work-based learning like the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and cooperative education (COE) program. The supervisor's role, the location and atmosphere of the training site, interpersonal relationships, and a variety of other factors all contribute to a student’s training program's effectiveness. Using a mixed-method approach, this study aimed to examine 75 undergraduate students' learning experiences, personal evaluations, and satisfaction in their skills training. A focus group discussion was conducted, and a researcher-made questionnaire was developed to assess the students’ perceived skills as well as the process, location, training materials, and supervision of the training site. Students had a positive workplace learning in terms of the COE procedure, the environment and accessibility of the site, their cognitive, behavioral, and social learning experiences, their attitude toward their supervisor and coordinator, and their evaluation of training, according to the findings. In the focus group discussion, participants discussed issues that arose during their workplace learning experiences such as time management, interpersonal conflict, accessibility of the training site, and the COE process. The findings suggest that the training institution can provide high-quality and satisfactory training programs for undergraduate students. Curriculum review and pre-service seminars were proposed as interventions.

\Differential expression of SFN in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2022

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with early-onset breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding stratifin, SFN, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 45 and younger, and women aged 70 and higher. SFN mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of SFN in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal B subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. SFN may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with early-onset breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding poly(rC)-binding protein 2, PCBP2, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 45 and younger, and women aged 70 and higher. PCBP2 was also differentially expressed in the brain metastases of patients with brain metastatic breast cancer. PCBP2 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of PCBP2 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in human breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. PCBP2 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
Metode dan Pendekatan Analisis ilmu Pemerintahan

Ilmu Pemerintahan (IP) adalah khas Indonesia, yang tidak dikenal di belahan dunia lain. Tetapi IP selalu memperoleh stimulus eksternal: kolonialisme, developmentalisme, dan neoliberalisme. Para pendiri membuat IP untuk alasan aksiologis-praktis, tanpa disertai dengan ontologi dan epistemologi yang memadai. Secara ontologis, konsep pemerintah merupakan tradisi Anglo Saxon, tetapi pemerintahan diambil dari tradisi hukum Eropa Kontinental dan bestuurskunde warisan kolonial, yang di negeri asal disebut administrasi. IP sukses mencetak banyak birokrat, tetapi ia tidak membawa roh “pemerintahan rakyat” dan tidak sanggup mencerahkan praktik pemerintahan Indonesia, melainkan hanya ikut menjaga law and order yang diwarisi dari beamtenstaat kolonial. Developmentalisme dan administrasi negara datang mewarnai Orde Baru, sekaligus juga membentuk sosok IP. Dekade 1990-an Ilmu Politik datang melakukan ‘subversi’ terhadap IP, yang sanggup melucuti warna hukum, tetapi tidak merekonstruksi IP.

Pemberian otonomi yang seluas-luasnya kepada daerah dalam penelenggaraan pemerintahan daerah diarahkan untuk mempercepat terwujudnya kesejahteraan masyarakat melalui peningkatan pelayanan, pemberdayaan, dan peran serta masyarakat. Di samping itu melalui otonomi yang luas diharapkan daerah mampu meningkatkan daya saing dengan memperhatikan prinsip demokrasi, pemerataan, keadilan, keistimewaan dan kekhususan serta potensi dan keanekaragaman daerah dalam sistem Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. Pemberian kewenangan (devolution of authority) kepada pemerintahan daerah, merupakan suatu kebutuhan yang mutlak dan tidak dapat dihindari. Segi positif pemberian kewenangan kepada pemerintah daerah adalah tugas- tugas pemerintahan akan dijalankan dengan lebih baik, karena masyarakat di daerah sudah sangat memahami konteks kehidupan sosial, ekonomi, dan politik yang disekitar lingkungannya. Pemerintah daerah memahami betul kebutuhan masyarakatnya serta bagaimana memobilisasi sumber daya dan sumber biaya yang dimilikinya. Desentralisasi merupakan simbol adanya kepercayaan (trust) dari pemerintah pusat kepada daerah. Hal itu sesuai dengan misi otonomi daerah yang tertuang dalam Undang-undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah yang mengakomodasi keterlibatan masyarakat dalam rangka peningkatan pembangunan. Pemerintahan Daerah yang baik berarti suatu pemerintahan Daerah yang teratur, tiada celanya. Parameter pemerintahan Daerah yang baik berupa pelayanan kepada masyarakat, pemberdayaan warga masyarakat dan keterlibatan masyarakat dalam pembangunan.

Over the past decade, a sense of urgency has been building in the scientific community. They have discovered that much of the literature body is unreliable and possibly invalid thanks to weak theory, flawed methods, and shoddy statistics. This is driven by a widespread competitive, secretive approach to research, which, in turn, is fueled by toxic academic incentive structures. Many in the community have decided to address these issues, coming together in what has become known as the ‘scientific reform movement’. While these ‘reformers’ are often spoken of a single, homogeneous entity, my findings underscore the heterogeneity of the reform community. In my dissertation, I explore the scientific reform group using ethnography and social network analysis tools. I primarily studied their online Twitter engagements to understand their culture, practices, and structure. With Wenger’s Community of Practice theory as an interpretive framework, I analyze scientific reform discourse playing out between reformers on Twitter. Using quantitative Twitter friend/follow data, I investigate which reform members engage online, using following behavior to understand aspects of their social structure. I link the quantitative exploration with my qualitative analysis, to conclude that while the reformers are united by their interest in improving science, they are better characterized as a constellation of small communities of practice, each with their own norms, priorities, and unique approach to the group enterprise of scientific reform. My investigation is an exercise in reflexivity as I have studied a community in which I am an active part.

Bentuk negara dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi dua yaitu negara kesatuan dan negara federal. Dimana masing-masing bentuk negara memiliki perbedaan dalam sistem penyelenggaraan pemerintahannnya. Pertanyaan yang timbul adalah mengapa adanya pemisahan bentuk negara? Setiap negara berhak menentukan bentuk negaranya masing-masing. Negara kesatuan (unitaris) menjadi bentuk negara yang banyak dianut oleh negara di dunia. Jumlah negara kesatuan secara empirik lebih banyak daripada negara federal. Sebagai sebuah konsep negara kesatuan sering diposisikan secara berlawanan dengan negara federal atau serikat. Negara kesatuan merupakan negara tunggal diorganisasikan di bawah sebuah pemerintahan pusat. Seluruh kekuasaan pemerintahan konstitusional terpusat di tingkat nasional. Negara kesatuan (unitaris) memiliki sistem dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan menggunakan asas sentralisasi dan desentralisasi.
Einstein-Marić: a qualitative content analysis of a scientific and personal collaboration,
Authors: Ganis Mary
Published: July 2022

This research reveals the personal and scientific role of Albert Einstein’s little known first wife, Mileva Marić in the early years of Albert Einstein’s most significant work published in 1905. Much discourse has been based on objective analyses of fundamentally, subjective data – the letters published in The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein. This present research proposes that a qualitative content analysis is a more appropriate method for examining these types of subjective data. The timeframe of the examined evidence is limited to Einstein and Marić’s undergraduate years to the award of the Nobel Prize (1887-1921). The results of the qualitative content analysis support the notion that Einstein was characteristically collaborative in his process beginning with Marić’s role in the development of his most significant work.

Choice effects on temporal binding of action and outcomes: Examining the role of outcome focus and measures of time interval estimation
Authors: Akyüz Nil , Marien Hans , Stok Marijn , Driessen Josi Maria Anna , Aarts Henk
Published: July 2022

The ability to make one's own choices is vital to the experience of intentional behavior. Such agency experiences are reflected in the perceptual compression of time between actions and resulting outcomes. Whereas some studies show that choice limitations weaken temporal binding, other studies do not find such an effect. Reviewing the literature, we noted two different factors, that may moderate choice limitation effects on temporal binding: (a) the level of action representation, according to which individuals focus on their motor actions or the consequences they produce; and (b) the response mode of the time interval estimation measurement where participants report numbers or use a slider to indicate time intervals. Testing these conceptual and methodological factors in two separate experiments yielded clear effects of choice limitation on temporal binding but no clear moderator role of the two factors. Interestingly, overall analyses showed that the choice limitation effect gradually vanishes over time. We briefly discuss the findings in the context of everyday autonomy restrictions in shaping conscious experiences of intentional action.
Pattern Breaking: A Complex Systems Approach to Psychedelic Medicine

Published: July 2022

Recent research has demonstrated the potential of psychedelic therapy for mental healthcare. However, the psychological experience underlying its therapeutic effects remain poorlyunderstood. This paper proposes a framework that suggests psychedelics act as destabilisers,both psychologically and neurophysiologically. Drawing on the "entropic brain" hypothesisand the "RElaxed Beliefs Under pSychedelics" (REBUS) model, this paper focuses onthe richness of psychological experience. Through a complex systems theory perspective,we suggest that psychedelics destabilize fixed points or attractors, breaking reinforced patternsof thinking and behaving. Our approach explains how psychedelic-induced increases inbrain entropy destabilize neurophysiological set-points and leads to new conceptualizationsof psychedelic psychotherapy. These insights have important implications for risk mitigationand treatment optimization in psychedelic medicine, both during the peak psychedelicexperience and during the sub-acute period of potential recovery
Samurai masculinity, Japan’s self defence force and the uncanny space–time of Sengoku Jieitai
Authors: McKissack Fraser
Published: July 2022

The image of contemporary Japanese men fighting alongside samurai warriors is impossible, but not simply because time-travel does not exist. As I argue in this article, Japan is tethered to an historical narrative of samurai virtue that can no longer exist. This is a paradox that threatens to destabilize Japan’s contemporary military spaces and its contested history of militarism. I explore this paradox through the concept of Japan’s military space–time, which draws attention to the spatial and temporal dimensions of Japan’s demilitarization and the tensions that arise when a demilitarized space coexists with a militant history and the legacy of Japan’s epitomic masculine figure, the samurai. In order for contemporary Japanese SDF personnel to identify with the samurai they inevitably encounter the spectre of Japan’s twentieth–century militarism, and thus the samurai returns to the present as an uncanny embodiment of a repressed masculine self. Through the close analysis of two Japanese time-travel films, Sengoku Jieitai (Saitō, 1979) and Sengoku Jieitai: 1549 (Tezuka, 2005), I demonstrate how the attempt to reconcile Japan’s contemporary pacifist identity with its feudal past threatens to rupture the narrative of a cohesive national selfhood.
‘Loving Nation’ and ‘Subjugated Nation’: Popular narratives of the nation in early twentieth-century Shanghai
Authors: Mao Peijie
Published: July 2022

This article examines the nationalist discourse in Shanghai popular print media during the late Qing and the early Republican period, focusing on the literary representation and imagination of ‘loving nation’ (aiguo) and ‘subjugated nation’ (wangguo) in popular fiction. It discusses the popular nationalism through ‘patriotic stories’ (aiguo xiaoshuo), a fiction genre promoted by Shanghai popular media in the 1910s, which, on the one hand, responded to the external plights of the newly established Republic of China, while on the other shaped the popular imagination of a new national identity and modern nation state. I argue that ‘patriotic stories’ contributed to this national imaginary through a discovery of sentimentality, female emotionality and an increasing fancy of the ‘other’, while simultaneously producing the competing narratives of romantic love and patriotic feelings, and private and public realms. This sentimental narrative was also inextricably interwoven with the narratives of trauma and humiliation, and an imagination of wangguo in popular fiction. Viewing patriotism as a cultural production constructed through memory, imagination and reinterpretation, I suggest that the popular imagination of nation generated a hybrid and uniquely powerful mode of nationalistic narrative, one conjoining sentimentalism, patriotism and commercial interests in early twentieth-century China.
The Variable Disadvantage of Nonstandard Employment for Entering Homeownership in Russia and Urban China: The Potential Role of Mortgage Prevalence
Authors: Wang Jia , Gerber Theodore P.
Published: July 2022

Nonstandard employment (NSE) is a disadvantage for entry into homeownership because it is associated with both lower average income and greater uncertainty of future income. These features of NSE make formal mortgage loans from banks riskier to take on and harder to obtain. This mechanism implies that the relative disadvantage of NSE for homeownership entry is greater in societies where, due to institutional and macro-economic factors, mortgages are a more prevalent means to acquire homes. We test these theoretical expectations by analyzing entry to homeownership using panel surveys from Russia and urban China, two former state socialist countries with comparable labor market regulations, housing regimes, and welfare protections, but different mortgage prevalence. NSE is associated with lowers rates of entering homeownership in urban China, where mortgages are far more common, but not in Russia. Moreover, this negative effect in urban China pertains only to home acquisitions via mortgages, not to homeownership entry via other paths. Our findings broaden sociological understanding of how NSE contributes to inequality by highlighting the role of income uncertainty. They also suggest that cross-national differences in financial institutions may moderate the disadvantages of NSE and thus shape the consequences of market transition for stratification.
The influence of Japanese popular culture on learning Japanese
Authors: Northwood Barbara M.
Published: July 2022

This article presents the case that because students like Japanese popular culture (JPC) it can motivate them to take up Japanese language study, and not only that, but can influence them to continue their study. This stance is supported with findings from a research project undertaken in Sydney Australia. Learner motivational trajectories reveal that a strong interest in JPC is intertwined with the motivation to learn Japanese sometimes to the point of becoming a passion. Consequently, harmonious passion (HP) is examined in regards to Motivation and a striking similarity is found. Learning Japanese can take place effortlessly through engagement in JPC and is described as ‘Effortless effort’ (e-e). It is linked to directed motivational current (DMC), an attractor state within complex dynamic systems theory (CDST). Questionnaire outcomes and excerpts from interviews with university learners portray the influence of JPC on learning Japanese and the role it plays in developing language identities.
