The ‘hidden’ structure of uncertainties unfolding through poststructural dynamics of the entropic brain
Authors:   BION Institute, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, Poznanski R.R. ,   Integrative Neuroscience Initiative  AUS​
Published: January 2025

A new approach attempts to express the poststructural dynamics of the entropic brain in terms of the ‘hidden’ structure of uncertainties. By incorporating poststructural dynamics into our understanding of the physical, we can more clearly grasp how consciousness operates within a functional system approach that appropriately considers changeable boundary conditions through functional interactions. The causality is sought in boundary conditions when uncertainty reduction becomes an act of understanding as a course of action that navigates the multiscale landscape of potentialities. Motion through the multiscale landscape continuously changes uncertainties into intentionalities via ‘multiscale redundancy.’ In the multiscale version of the entropic brain, the ‘hidden’ structure of uncertainties unfolding through the poststructural dynamics occurring at different locations, levels, and times that instantly actualize through intermittent interactions as precognitive experienceabilities and combine into a global resonance before returning to spontaneous potentiality. The entropic brain is the ‘hidden’ structure of uncertainties unfolding through poststructural dynamics in the transition from potentialities to intentionalities, giving form to action via quantum potential energy and then motion via quantum kinetic energy through new information pathways. These self-referential pathways enable one to predict the minimal uncertainty as the ‘quantum of information’ functionality. It also suggests that reducing uncertainty is an act of understanding that could, in principle, mimic the conscious experience in artificial intelligence by transcending neural computability and, therefore, highlighting the importance of self-referentiality as the mechanism of ‘affective drive’ in broadcasting multiscale redundancy in the landscape of action.

Authors: Vu Xuan Huong , Lê Hữu Doanh , Hoàng Thị Phượng , Đỗ Thị Thu Hiền , Vũ Huy Lượng
Published: January 2025

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between anti-U1-RNP antibodies and skin, muscle, peripheral vascular, and renal damage in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 55 patients diagnosed with systemic sclerosis according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the European League Against Rheumatism (2013) at the National hospital of Dermatology and Venereology from September 2021 to September 2022. Patients were tested for anti-U1-RNP antibodies in their blood using the ANA 23 profile test.
Result: The positivity rate for anti-U1-RNP antibodies was 14.5%. Among skin lesions, the most common manifestation was sclerodactyly (87.3%), followed by poikiloderma (47.3%), and less frequently, digital edema (27.3%). The average modified Rodnan skin score in the systemic sclerosis group was 21.2 ± 6.8, with the anti-U1-RNP positive group scoring higher (27.3 ± 6.1) than the negative group (20.2 ± 5.8) (p = 0.002). The incidence of peripheral vascular damage, including the rate of periungual telangiectasia and periungual hemorrhage, was higher in the anti-U1-RNP positive group compared to the negative group (p = 0.018 and p = 0.034, respectively). The rate of elevated muscle enzymes (CK > 190 U/l) in the anti-U1-RNP positive group (75.0%) was also higher than in the negative group (17.4%) (p = 0.002). The incidence of elevated serum creatinine and proteinuria in the systemic sclerosis group with positive anti-U1-RNP antibodies was higher than in the negative group (p = 0.018 and p = 0.029, respectively).
Conclusion: Patients with systemic sclerosis who test positive for anti-U1-RNP antibodies tend to have higher rates of skin lesions, peripheral vascular damage, muscle damage, and renal damage compared to those who test negative.

Authors: Thai Van Thong , Đoàn văn Lợi Em , Lê Ngọc Diệp , Nguyễn Trọng Hao
Published: January 2025

Objective: Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease. Prolactin is a hormone that affects the immune system; elevated serum prolactin levels may reduce the destruction of autoimmune B-cell lines, lower the activation threshold of B-cells, and promote autoimmune responses. This study aims to investigate the difference in serum prolactin levels between pemphigus patients and a control group.
Subjects and Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 30 pemphigus patients and 20 controls who visited Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital between January 20, 2022, and September 30, 2022, for serum prolactin level testing.
Results: Serum prolactin levels were significantly higher in the pemphigus group compared to the control group [12.9 (9.2 – 20.1) ng/ml vs. 6.7 (4.3 - 9.5) ng/ml; p = 0.0001]. The study also found a moderate positive correlation between serum prolactin levels and the extent of skin lesions in the patient group (r = 0.39, p = 0.03).
Conclusion: Serum prolactin levels were significantly higher in pemphigus patients compared to the control group.

Objective: To determine the positive rate of the Mosaic 7 test in autoimmune bullous diseases at the National Hospital of Dermatology and Venereology.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted on 44 medical records and serology of patients with autoimmune bullous diseases at the National Hospital of Dermatology and Venereology from October 2021 to September 2022. Data collected included gender, age, diagnosis, histopathology results, indirect immunofluorescence, direct immunofluorescence, and Mosaic 7 test results.
Result: Of the 44 patients with autoimmune bullous diseases, 22 had pemphigus vulgaris, 5 had pemphigus foliaceus, and 17 had bullous pemphigoid. The Mosaic 7 test results varied among the different types of bullous diseases. In pemphigus vulgaris patients, the Mosaic 7 test showed a high positive rate on the esophageal well (90.9%), Desmoglein 1 well (95.5%), and Desmoglein 3 well (86.4%). In pemphigus foliaceus patients, the test showed a 100% positive rate on the esophageal and Desmoglein 1 wells, but 0% on the Desmoglein 3 well. In bullous pemphigoid patients, the positive rates varied across different wells of the Mosaic 7 test.
Conclusion: The Mosaic 7 test demonstrated high utility in diagnosing autoimmune bullous skin diseases, particularly in identifying Desmoglein 1 and Desmoglein 3 in pemphigus vulgaris. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to validate and refine the test's accuracy.

The Impact of the HPP Law on Changes in MSME Income Tax Rates and Modernization of the Tax System on MSME Taxpayer Compliance
Authors: Hutagaol Layon
Published: January 2025

The Law on Harmonization of Tax Regulations (UU HPP) has brought significant changes to the taxation system in Indonesia, especially regarding income tax rates for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study aims to analyse the influence of the Law on HPP and the modernization of the tax system on MSME taxpayer compliance. The research method uses a quantitative approach with data collection through a survey of MSME actors in various sectors. The results of the study show that the reduction in income tax rates on MSMEs increases the level of taxpayer compliance. In addition, the application of technology in the taxation system facilitates tax reporting and payment, which in turn encourages MSME involvement in fulfilling their tax obligations. Tax modernization contributes to transparency and efficiency, so that MSMEs feel more comfortable in carrying out their tax obligations. The results of this study are expected to provide input for policy makers in formulating more effective strategies to improve tax compliance and encourage the growth of the MSME sector in Indonesia

Authors: Oktavianto Dismas , Robiyanto Robiyanto , Huruta Andrian Dolfriandra
Published: January 2025

This study aims to develop a dynamic portfolio model based on asset class, precious metals, world oil, and dollar index. This study performs a comparative test between the Dynamics Conditional Correlation (DCC) and Asymmetric Dynamics Conditional Correlation (ADCC) to determine the best method in forming a dynamic portfolio. Four big cap companies on the Indonesian stock market (BBCA, BBRI, BMRI, and ASII) are examined in this study. The data used were daily returns for the period of January 2, 1998 – December 31, 2020, analyzed using Dynamics Conditional Correlation (DCC) and Asymmetric Dynamics Conditional Correlation (ADCC). The results of empirical testing suggest that including gold, world oil, and dollar index into the dynamic portfolio might increase the portfolio performance and minimize its risks. The stock-gold portfolios formed by utilizing the DCC and ADCC-GARCH methods outperform those composed of only stock. Gold could act as a financial system stabilizer by mitigating losses in the case of extreme negative market shocks. Stock-WTI portfolios formed by utilizing the DCC and ADCC-GARCH methods also outperform those composed of only stock.
The Role of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) on Dividends and Firm Value: The Moderation Effect of Audit Quality
Authors: Handajani Clarissa Dominique Effendi , Murhadi Werner R.
Published: January 2025

This research will examine the influence of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and its components on dividends and firm value. Furthermore, the quality and credibility of information in the market will also influence stakeholder assessments. The important role of audit quality in providing assurance on this information is needed. By using multiple linear regression on 252 firm years from companies listed in IDX 2020-2023 that meet the sample criteria, it was found that ESG has not been able to significantly influence dividends and firm value. However, environmental can influence dividends in a positive way, while governance can influence firm value in a negative way. Even though dividends and audit quality can influence firm value in a positive way, audit quality still cannot increase the influence of dividends on firm value. Audit quality also cannot increase the influence of ESG on dividends. In this case, inefficient ESG practices followed by poor audit quality are the main factor of this insignificant influence. It takes time for ESG investments to influence company performance, which has an impact on high dividend payout ratios and firm value.

Authors: Mahfudz Mahfudz , Batu Kardison Lumban , Almadanaa Aulia Vidya
Published: January 2025

This study empirically investigates the relationship between shared-goal congruence, customer relationship management (CRM), and customer relationship advantages on firm performance. Data were collected from 200 supply chain practitioners and operations staff working in retail stores in Indonesia using purposive and non-probability sampling techniques. The hypotheses were assessed using SEM-AMOS 24, after conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis, reliability, and validity tests. The results show that CRM significantly impacts firm performance, mediated by Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). Additionally, a positive relationship exists between goal congruency and firm performance, also mediated by GSCM. Supplier relationship management was found to have a significant effect on both GSCM and firm performance. The theoretical contribution of this study emphasizes that the integration of sustainable principles in supply chain management through GSCM improves firm performance in various aspects, including financial, environmental, and social. The implementation of GSCM, supported by strong management commitment and a shift in organizational culture, enhances energy and resource efficiency, process and product innovation, environmental risk reduction, customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, and cost reductions, leading to competitive advantages through faster and more accurate decision-making.
UNIVERSIDADE E CIÊNCIA MODERNA
Authors: Zambiasi Fábio , Scopel Graziela , Rubin-Oliveira Marlize
Published: January 2025

Este artigo busca problematizar a universalidade da ciência moderna, enquanto maneira única de saber/conhecer privilegiada na estrutura ocidentalizada das universidades, com o objetivo de refletir acerca do reconhecimento e reposicionamento, em sua estrutura, de maneiras outras de saber/conhecer. O caminho teórico-metodológico se caracteriza como de natureza qualitativa, utilizando recursos bibliográficos e documentais. Inicialmente, se discute o privilégio epistêmico ocidental e a universalização da ciência moderna, a partir dos pressupostos da decolonialidade. Na sequência, é realizado a análise de duas experiências de programas com pressupostos decoloniais – a Licenciatura Intercultural Indígena do Sul da Mata Atlântica e o Encontro de Saberes. A partir das análises das experiências, destaca-se que ambas se propõem a inserir outros corpos políticos, historicamente marginalizados e invisibilizados, assim como maneiras outras de saber/conhecer, advindas de regionalidades distintas, dentro dos muros e da estrutura ocidentalizada das universidades. Afirma-se que os dois programas analisados contribuem à descolonização da universidade e à sua transformação em um lugar de saber/conhecer pluriverso, principalmente por tensionarem o privilégio e universalismo dos cânones de pensamento, quadros teóricos e metodológicos de matriz ocidental.

Authors: Chun Tsai Wen- , An Lo Chun-
Published: January 2025

In the era of global low-carbon transformation, corporate management of carbon emissions, environmental performance disclosures, and water resource utilization have become critical focal points for capital markets. This study investigates the relationship between the stock returns of Taiwanese semiconductor companies and variables such as total carbon emissions, TESG scores, corporate water consumption, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) during 2016–2022. Specifically, the study evaluates the influence of these factors in the context of international sustainability trends and Taiwan’s mandatory carbon inventory policies. The findings reveal significant negative effects of total carbon emissions and corporate water consumption on stock returns, whereas TESG scores exhibit a positive correlation with stock returns. By integrating these elements, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of how environmental sustainability influences financial performance within the semiconductor sector. These insights underscore the importance of corporate environmental efforts in enhancing both sustainability and competitiveness.
Urbanization and mental health: understanding the psychological effects of city living among migrant populations
Authors: Jinyoung Hwang
Published: January 2025

This research investigates the psychological effects of urban living on migrant populations, focusing on stressors such as social isolation, cultural dislocation, and systemic inequalities. Migrants often experience heightened mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and identity struggles, exacerbated by discrimination and limited access to culturally sensitive support systems.
Drawing on theoretical frameworks like acculturation and social identity theories, the study explores how urban environments intensify migrants’ vulnerabilities while also presenting opportunities for resilience and adaptation. Case studies from global megacities highlight the dual role of urbanization as both a stressor and a facilitator of integration. The research examines migrants’ coping mechanisms, including community networks, cultural practices, and personal resilience, emphasizing the importance of social connections and identity preservation.
The findings reveal critical gaps in urban mental health systems, such as language barriers, affordability, and cultural insensitivity. Policy recommendations include fostering inclusive urban designs, expanding mental health services tailored to migrants, and promoting community-led initiatives that address social and psychological needs. This study contributes to the discourse on urbanization and public health, advocating for systemic changes to create supportive urban environments for migrant populations.

Published: January 2025

Deep neural network-based learning methods are commonly used for classifying images or object detection with excellent performances. In this paper, we looked at how effective a deep convolution neural network (DCNN) is to identify food photography. Food identification is a sort of visual fine-grain recognition that is more difficult than traditional image recognition. Mobile apps in many countries have been omnipresent in many aspects of people's lives in the last few years. Fitting the healthcare potential of this pattern has become a focal point in the industry and researchers’ basic applications for architecture that patients should use in their well-being, prevention or treatment method. Mobile cloud computing has been introduced as a possible mobile well-being paradigm interoperability problems management service in various information formats. In this paper, I am integrating deep neural networks with cloud architecture to avoid substantial memory loss in mobile devices or web platforms where I can upload images, and it will predict the actual images and the names of food categories. The datasets I will be using are UECFOOD101; I will be running my deployment on the system as well as on the cloud for retrieving the data easily on mobile phones and web pages. The cloud architecture helps me offload the data, which is not required using computational offloading and profiling.
Zwischen Detail und großer Zahl
Authors: Herrnstadt Martin , Renard Léa
Published: January 2025

Der Artikel untersucht die methodologischen Debatten um sowie die unterschiedlichen Umgangsweisen mit Enquêten als Instrument der Produktion von Gesellschaftswissen in Deutschland zwischen 1880 und 1933. Unsere Analyse konzentriert sich insbesondere auf drei Episoden: 1) die Debatten im Verein für Socialpolitik, einer gelehrten Gesellschaft für Sozialreform, in den Jahren 1870-1880; 2) die „Miniaturstatistik“, wie sie Gottlieb Schnapper-Arndt um 1900 praktizierte; 3) das Forschungsprogramm über den Wandel der Familie, das von Sozialarbeiterinnen um Alice Salomon in der Akademie für soziale und pädagogische Frauenarbeit zwischen 1925 und 1933 durchgeführt wurde. Wir stellen die These auf, dass die Debatten über Enquêten eines der Foren waren, in denen Grenzen zwischen Wissenschaft und Sozialreform ausgehandelt wurden. Die drei betrachteten Episoden bringen jeweils eigenständige epistemologische wie auch politische Positionierungen zu dieser Frage zum Vorschein. Während im Verein für Socialpolitik eine allmähliche Distanzierung von politischen Aktivitäten zu beobachten war, wollten die von Gottlieb Schnapper-Arndt und Alice Salomon formulierten Vorschläge reformatorische und wissenschaftliche Praxis vereinen. Die Positionierungen verkörpern zugleich unterschiedliche Sichtweisen darüber, wie die Beobachtung des Sozialen durch die unterschiedlichen Kombinationsmöglichkeiten von statistischer Datenanalyse („große Zahlen“) und detaillierter Beschreibung im Modus der Fallstudie (Interviews, persönliche Dokumente, Familienbudgets) konzipiert und praktiziert werden kann.

'The subtleties of the American joke' : Mark Twain versus Europe
Authors: Giarelli Andrew L.
Published: January 2025

"Guides can not master the subtleties of the American joke," Mark Twain writes after he finishes a bout of stymying European efforts to teach culture to him and his comrades in The Innocents Abroad (293). The joke is double-barreled: Europeans do not realize the joke is on them for being stuck in their past and because Americans are not as dull-witted as they seem, but the joke is also of course on clueless traveling Americans, thrashing about Europe for cultural self-improvement. However, and mostly overlooked in previous analyses, there really is a "subtlety" to that multi-layered term "the American joke." Acknowledging earlier socio-historical analyses of Twain's confrontation between new and old worlds, as well as criticism problematizing the idea of authenticity in travel or implicating his book in Western imperialism, this paper instead explores via the lens of Menippean satire Twain's complex narrative construction of his "joke", which ultimately blends humor and horror.
Disability and indigeneity in Moloka'i : challenging colonial paradigm of leprosy
Authors: Indriyanto Kristiawan , Adi Ida Rochani , Adhitya Galant Nanta
Published: January 2025

This study contextualizes the colonial conceptions of disease and disability in the context of Native Hawaiians, focusing on Alan Brennert's Moloka'i. The narrative investigates the interwoven nature of disability and indigeneity to challenge the colonial characterization of leprosy. Western colonial authority constructs a racialized image of lepers through various apparatuses, defining the Other as a subject for scientific curiosity and experimentation. Moloka'i delineates Kānaka resilience against Western stigmatization and marginalization by decolonizing the dominant colonial paradigms. Three interconnected themes – kinship, place, and knowledge-making – articulate the connections between Native Hawaiians, ‘āina (the land), and their ancestors. Contrary to the Western conception of a natural prison, the island of Moloka'i is positioned as a focal point for Indigenous revival and cultural resurgence. Traditional beliefs, kinship structures, and connections to the land actively shape the experience and understanding of disability in Kānaka epistemology. Reading on Moloka'i highlights Indigenous resilience against colonial impositions based upon the intersection between disability and indigeneity.

Cílem mého článku je podat kritiku fact-checkingu a navrhnout úpravy metodiky vedoucí ke zvýšení jeho epistemické relevance. Nejprve představím současný model fact-checkingu jako odvětví aplikované epistemologie, jeho metodiku a cíle. Dále vymezím a zhodnotím epistemické charakteristiky procesu fact-checkingu modelovaného coby typ přesvědčovacího dialogu. Jakou měrou by měl institucionalizovaný fact-checking ovlivňovat důvěru veřejnosti v hodnocená tvrzení? Jaké jsou epistemologické charakteristiky hodnotících kritérií fact checkingu? Kdy jsou fact-checkingová kritéria objektivní?

The potential benefits of rice straw in organic farming in terms of rice productivity, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, carbon sequestration rate (CSR) and global warming potential (GWP) were studied for five years covering 10 wet (kharif) and dry (rabi) seasons with a wide seasonal temperature range (28-31 C and 30-40 C during wet and dry seasons, respectively). Field experiments were conducted at the ICAR-IIRR, Hyderabad, in a black clayey vertisol. The organic sources used were rice straw + green manure in kharif and rice straw + poultry manure in rabi. Organic system resulted in initial yield reduction by 15-20 % than inorganic system and yields stabilized after two and five years in wet and dry seasons, respectively, with improved soil health parameters. The SOC stocks were higher with organics by 34-43 % compared to inorganics after five years of study. The CSR was also positive with organics (0.97 and 0.57 t/ha/ year during wet and dry seasons, respectively) compared to inorganics (-021 and -0.33 t/ha/year during wet and dry seasons, respectively) which recorded negative C sequestration rate. Organics recorded favourable C sequestration even under dry situations which is more desirable to mitigate the adverse effects of global warming to certain extent by reducing CO2 emissions. The global warming potential under organic system was 20 % higher than in conventional system with increased CO2 and CH4 and reduced N2O emissions. Since GWP was higher with rice straw, mixing of straw with other potential organics in proper proportions reduce the GWP in addition to carbon sequestration in organic rice cultivation.

An investigation was performed in the F6 and F7 generation of the cross Pusa-1176 x BPT-5204. The phenotypic screening was done intensely for spikelet sterility in F6 generation (Kharif, 2021) based on which some families were selected and grown as F7 generation (Kharif, 2022) that were sown as panicle to progeny rows at two different dates as set I and set II with the interval of 15 days in order to study the influence of environment on the traits under study. The segregates were studied for skewness and kurtosis to identify the presence of gene interactions in 13 quantitative traits including grain yield per plant (Fisher et al., 1932). The results displayed that various traits exhibited positive skewness along with platykurtic and leptokurtic frequency distribution in set I and set II. Similarly, a combination of negative skewness with platykurtic and leptokurtic frequency distribution was observed for diverse traits in set I and set II. Normal curve without skewness indicating symmetry of the trait and platykurtic frequency distribution was observed for L/B ratio in set I and for 100 seed weight in set II.

The present investigation was carried out to assess the genetic diversity among 35 rice germplasm lines for 19 different traits including quantitative and grain quality traits. The genotypes were grouped into 8 clusters and out of these maximum number of genotypes were placed in cluster I (25 genotypes) followed by Cluster II (4 genotypes). The highest intra-cluster distance was observed for cluster I whereas, highest inter-cluster distance was recorded between cluster VII and cluster VIII. Cluster III, cluster V and cluster VIII showed the highest cluster mean values for most of the traits studied. The maximum contribution towards the genetic divergence was exhibited by spikelets per panicle followed by 1000 grain weight, days to 75% maturity and plant height. These traits, hence could be focused for selection improving grain yield. The germplasm lines falling in different clusters with high mean for grain yield and other component traits can be utilized for hybridization programme to obtain elite segregants.

Published: January 2025

This paper reports a pilot study on mobile-assisted language learning that focused on both creative learner output and seamless learning. In learning Chinese idioms, students proactively used smartphones on a 1:1 basis to take photos in their daily lives, subsequently in-class or online sharing and discussions took place, enhancing the students’ understanding in the proper usage of the idioms. Our analysis of the student artefacts in both product- and process-oriented aspects reveals the students’ cognitive process and learning strategies during the course of content creation. The students’ ongoing, open-ended, personal-to-social meaning making process and learner-created authentic content have indeed shown some indicators of seamless language learning and induction-based peer learning that has the potential of transforming language learning into an authentic learning experience.

Published: January 2025

This paper proposes a ubiquitous learning log system called SCROLL (System for Capturing and Reminding Of Learning Log). Ubiquitous Learning Log (ULL) is defined as a digital record of what you have learned in the daily life using ubiquitous technologies. It allows you to log your learning experiences with photos, audios, videos, location, QR-code, RFID tag, and sensor data, and to share and to reuse ULL with others. Using SCROLL, you can receive personalized quizzes and answers for your questions. Also, you can navigate and be aware of your past ULLs supported by augmented reality view. The initial evaluation of applying this system in an undergraduate English course is illustrated.

Online Originality Checking and Online Assessment - an Extension of Academics or Disruption for Academics
Authors: CHEW Esyin , PRICE Trevor
Published: January 2025

There are many computer technologies being used in modern higher education. However, an investigation of when technology becomes extension of academics or disruption for academics is necessary to find out the key concerns about both the pedagogical use of technology and underachievement in the pedagogical use of technology. The paper discusses the key findings of a pilot research project, the academic experiences for an innovative online originality checking and assessment system”. Academics from 4 faculties in the University of Glamorgan have provided experience sharing of both positive and negative experience of the system. The main finding is that such an excellent tool did enhance learning and assessment experience. Academics, regardless of their technological competence, experienced an innovative end-to-end online submission and assessment which eliminated the frustration of storing uncollected or unread assignment feedback, a speeding up of the assessment process and were provided with a flexible marking facility. Interestingly, “computer technology as an extension of academics” only realise when priority is given to the pedagogy over technology; whereas “computer technology is a disruption for academics” when sole focus is given to the technology.
