A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF BEHAVIOURAL CHANGES IN L1 LEARNERS DUE TO L2 NONVERBAL CUES
Authors: Vindhyavali S
Published: October 2024

This systematic review explores the influence of second language (L2) nonverbal cues on first language (L1) behaviours among learners. While existing research has primarily focused on verbal proficiency, the integration of nonverbal communication—encompassing gestures, facial expressions, body posture, and vocal tone—into L2 learning remains under examined. This study investigates the phenomenon of superimposition, where L2 learners adopt nonverbal cues that subsequently shape their L1 interactions. Through an interdisciplinary lens incorporating psycholinguistics, cross-cultural communication, and second language acquisition theories, we identify significant behavioural changes in L1 communication patterns, emotional expressiveness, and social interaction styles. Key areas of impact include alterations in facial expressions, gestural behaviours, eye contact, and paralanguage. Utilizing psychometric tools such as self-report surveys, observational studies, and vocal analysis, this review highlights the complexities of nonverbal communication across languages and cultures. Ultimately, our findings underscore the necessity of understanding nonverbal cue integration to enhance cross-cultural communication and support multilingual individuals in navigating diverse interaction contexts.

Authors: Gonçalves Amanda Melchiotti , Guerra Dhyovana , Figueiredo Ireni Marilene Zago , Deitos Roberto Antonio
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o conceito de responsabilização tratado no Relatório de Monitoramento Global da Educação, de 2017, produzido pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação (UNESCO). Para tanto, este estudo se trata de uma pesquisa documental de abordagem qualitativa. Para a análise do documento partimos do pressuposto de que os conceitos utilizados nos documentos produzidos por organizações internacionais não são aleatórios, mas produtos de informações selecionadas e intencionalmente disseminadas. O conceito de responsabilização na educação, no documento analisado, está relacionado aos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), especialmente ao ODS-4, sendo considerado essencial para o cumprimento da Agenda Educação 2030. A análise do conceito de responsabilização perpassou a compreensão da atuação dos organismos internacionais na definição de políticas educacionais, principalmente após a reestruturação produtiva, em 1970, com ênfase na flexibilização. A partir disso, foi possível constatar que o conceito de responsabilização constitui um elemento justificador de reformas educacionais, além de reiterar os fundamentos políticos e organizacionais do modelo gerencial que descentraliza as ações estatais no âmbito das políticas sociais.

Peirce on the Normative Basis of Deductive Logic
Authors: Finley Robby
Published: October 2024

Abstract: I analyze Peirce's reply in the 1903 Lowell Lectures to the "defendant argument" and show how his response provides a key to interpreting his later philosophy of logic and his views on the normative role of deductive logic in inquiry. I argue that in Peirce's discussion of self-control in reasoning and evaluation of reasoning, we find an underappreciated position on logical revision and how to understand rational choice between deductive theories. To defend this point, I reconstruct Peirce's reply by providing an interpretation of his comments on higher-order criticism and the soundness of our reasoning, arguing that the resulting position's ability to separate questions involving the role of logic in inquiry from questions better suited to the mathematical study of a logical theory provides a fruitful pragmatist reframing of problems in the epistemology of logic.
A General Method For Composing a Canon Against a Cantus Firmus Using Sergei Taneev’s Double-Shifting Counterpoint
Authors: Gran Jacob
Published: October 2024

This article applies Sergei Taneev’s theory of double-shifting counterpoint to the problem of composing two voices in canonic imitation against a pre-composed cantus firmus. This approach sheds light on previous historical approaches to the same problem, in particular the improvised canons that were the subject of studies during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and it may be used for the analysis of such canons as they occasionally occur in written repertoire, such as in the canonic chorale preludes and ground-bass compositions of J. S. Bach. When presented as a contrapuntal exercise, this method can be used to compose all manner of canons against a cantus firmus, including advanced canons written in contrary motion, augmentation and diminution, retrograde motion, and inverted retrograde motion.
Gesture through the Lens of Pluridimensional Serialism in the Music of Camillo Togni
Authors: Neidhöfer Christoph
Published: October 2024

In the panorama of post-1945 serial composition, the music of Camillo Togni (1922–1993) stands out for its distinct expressive character (Vlad 1958). This essay examines the musical gestures that define Togni’s expressive style and illuminates how the composer generated them with the help of pluridimensional serial procedures. With evidence from the sketches, the analyses show how Togni negotiated his musical ideas with his serial templates in a dynamic process in which pluridimensional serialism opened new avenues for musical gesture he may not have envisioned otherwise. The essay argues against a distinction between a “pre-compositional” and a “compositional” stage in the creative process and instead demonstrates that Togni’s

modus operandi entailed a continuous process of fine-tuning musical ideas. I first address questions of musical meaning and performance in Togni’s expressive aesthetics (parts 1 and 2), before delving into the compositional process to gain a better understanding of these questions (parts 3 and 4).
Prosodic Dissonance
Authors: Smith Eron
Published: October 2024

In popular and scholarly discourse on texted music and music-speech intersections, the prevailing assumption is that the linguistic features of the lyrics (e.g., syllabic stress) align with the way the lyrics are sung (e.g., phenomenal accent in or affecting the melody)—or, if not, that they should. However, not only

can text and music conflict, but they do so in a variety of ways, to varying degrees, and with different effects on our listening experience. I define

prosodic dissonance as any conflict between the prosodic linguistic features and musical rendition of text. This could include misalignment between syllabic and durational/registral stress, between spoken and sung phrases, or between spoken and sung intonation. Prosodic dissonance/consonance can also interact with rhyme, vowel shape, parallelism, and syncopation. To recognize prosodic dissonance, I (1) determine the prosody for the lyrics as spoken, (2) determine the prosody for the melody as sung, (3) identify mismatches as dissonances, (4) consider the effect of the surrounding melody/lyrics, (5) consider alternate pronunciations or hearings that might account for it, and (6) consider the perceptual and analytical implications. This article focuses on prosodic dissonance in popular music, with longer analyses of Kesha’s “Tonight” (2020), Royal & the Serpent’s “Overwhelmed” (2020), and Rina Sawayama’s “This Hell” (2022).
On Meter and the Social Dynamics of Cueing in Bill Monroe’s “Muleskinner Blues”
Authors: Mitchell Nathaniel
Published: October 2024

“Muleskinner Blues,” the signature song of bluegrass patriarch Bill Monroe, is at once central to the bluegrass canon and yet metrically enigmatic, featuring a flexible timing structure that fluctuated wildly between performances. This article engages in a longitudinal study of 165 performances of “Muleskinner Blues” across Bill Monroe’s career to explore how the musicians that rotated through his band, the Blue Grass Boys, cognitively grappled with the song’s flexible structure. Through a series of analytical vignettes, I will detail the distributed cognitive system that drives performances of “Muleskinner Blues,” giving special attention to musical cues as tools for calling collective attention to structurally important moments of action. Additionally, I show how the song’s flexible meter was weaponized by Monroe in acts of musical hazing, antagonizing his musicians in the high-stakes environment of a live performance. Through these analyses, I show how the song’s peculiar meter centered Monroe musically, structurally, and socially, transforming “Muleskinner Blues” into a potent vehicle for the masculine ideology of the father of bluegrass music.

Published: October 2024

In Africa in general and in Côte d’Ivoire in particular, the management of wastewater in the context of sanitation is devolved to cities and municipalities. Katiola commune is no exception. In fact, this municipality faces problems with wastewater management. The objective of this study is to evaluate the physicochemical quality and toxicity of wastewater from this municipality with a view to implementing an appropriate management method. Thus, surveys followed by field visits and wastewater sampling were carried out on six (06) sites. The data from the analyzes were compared to the guide values ​​of the WHO, France and Ivory Coast. The results reveal that populations dispose of wastewater using unconventional practices (90%). This wastewater is considerably mineralized (469 and 663 μS/cm), of domestic origin and easily biodegradable (biodegradability index equal to 2.49) with a normal pH. In terms of toxicology, Katiola wastewater is rich in lead (26.9 to 640 µg/L) and nickel (50 to 779.2 µg/L). As for pesticides, beta-endosulfan and endrin have concentrations lower than the limit value set by the French standard, thus meaning a low impact on humans and their environment.

Coronavirus (CoV) diseases are widespread throughout the world and have caused considerable socio-economic disruptions. For this reason, efforts have been made to develop a direct or indirect antiviral drugs against these diseases. However, no specific antiviral drug has yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for CoV infections. Thus, the challenge in discovering therapeutic molecules against these infections remains pertinent. Computer-aided drug design (CADD) is one of the modern techniques for drug discovery and development. It accelerates the process, minimizes costs, and reduces research time. In this article, we present the three CADD approaches, namely structure-based drug discovery (SBDD), ligand-based drug discovery (LBDD) and high-throughput virtual screening (HTVS). The different methods used in these three approaches CADD, such as molecular modelling, target structure analysis, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, pharmacophore modelling, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), ligand-based virtual screening (LBVS) and structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) are detailed. In addition, the bioinformatics tools and databases commonly used in these different CADD techniques are also described.

Authors: Tolulope Ogundipe  , Somto Emmanuel Ewim  , Ngodoo Joy Sam-Bulya
Published: October 2024

Financial risk management is crucial for the sustainability and growth of the oil and gas industry in developing economies, where volatility and regulatory uncertainties present significant challenges. This abstract explores the construction of a theoretical framework for financial risk management, adapting global best practices to the specific contexts of emerging markets within the oil and gas sector. In developing economies, the oil and gas industry faces unique risks such as geopolitical instability, currency fluctuations, and regulatory changes. Effective financial risk management mitigates these risks through proactive strategies that balance risk exposure with strategic objectives. Adopting global best practices involves the integration of comprehensive risk assessment methodologies, scenario planning, and hedging techniques tailored to local market conditions. Key components of the theoretical framework include risk identification through comprehensive analysis of market, operational, and financial factors. This approach enables oil and gas companies to anticipate and mitigate risks before they escalate, ensuring financial stability and resilience in volatile environments. Furthermore, the application of global best practices in financial risk management fosters transparency and accountability, enhancing investor confidence and facilitating access to capital. By aligning risk management strategies with international standards and benchmarks, developing economy oil and gas firms can navigate uncertainty more effectively, thereby optimizing operational performance and sustaining long-term growth. However, challenges such as limited access to sophisticated financial instruments and expertise may hinder effective implementation. Overcoming these barriers requires capacity building, collaboration with experienced partners, and continuous adaptation of strategies to evolving market dynamics. In conclusion, building a theoretical framework for financial risk management in the oil and gas industry in developing economies is essential for mitigating volatility and maximizing opportunities. By applying global best practices tailored to local contexts, companies can strengthen their resilience, attract investment, and drive sustainable development in emerging markets.

Published: October 2024

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in ICUs is associated with high morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospital stays, increased costs, and risk of progression to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Early identification of AKI is essential. Aims and Objectives: To determine the incidence of AKI in ICU patients using the RIFLE criteria. · To identify etiological factors and comorbid conditions associated with AKI. · To assess the outcomes of AKI based on the RIFLE criteria. · To explore age, gender, serum creatinine, Fe Na, and urine spot Na as predictors of AKI mortality. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at Al-Ameen Medical College and Hospital, Vijayapura, with 83 patients over two years. ICU patients were monitored for AKI development using the RIFLE criteria. Results: Univariate logistic regression showed oliguria as a significant predictor of mortality (OR: 0.461). Among AKI survivors (n=51), the highest number (41.2%) were aged 50–59 years. In AKI deaths (n=32), most (40.6%) were over 60 years. Sepsis (39.2%) and shock (31.4%) were common in survivors, while sepsis (71.9%) dominated among deaths Conclusion: Early identification of high-risk AKI patients is crucial. Infections and hypotension drive significant mortality risk. Oliguric patients and those on ventilation require close monitoring. Timely diagnosis and management, especially of infections and multi-organ dysfunction, are key to improving outcomes. Haemodialysis was the preferred treatment.

Published: October 2024

This research study was aimed at investigating the common folkloric use of Vitex doniana fruit extract for induction of sleep. Extraction of the fruit extract was carried out with 80 %v/v ethanol. Acute toxicity study and qualitative phytochemical screening of the extract were also done. Twenty-five adult mice divided into five groups (n=5) were used for both the anxiolytic study and the phenobarbital-sleeping time analysis tests. Groups I and II served as negative (distilled water 10 ml/kg) and positive (diazepam 1 mg/kg i.p.) controls, respectively. Groups III, IV and V received the extracts of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg p.o., respectively. The effect of extract on time spent in and number of entries into the open arms and closed arms when compared to control were noted. The effect on onset and duration of sleep -were also noted. The extract was found to be relatively safe. Secondary metabolites like tannins and flavonoids were present. There was a dose-related significant (p < 0.05) increase in time spent on the open arm and a decrease in time spent on closed arm when compared to the negative control. Dose-related significant (p < 0.05) decrease in time for sleep onset and increase in duration of sleep when compared to negative control were also observed. From the results of this study, the folkloric use of this fruit extract for the induction of sleep and relaxation seem to be justified.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Obesity significantly increases the risk of developing cardiometabolic complications, which are precursors to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In children and adolescents, metabolic dysfunctions such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension are key contributors to early-onset cardiovascular risk. Metformin, a well-established antidiabetic agent, has shown potential benefits in addressing these metabolic imbalances. However, the long-term impact of metformin on cardiovascular outcomes in obese pediatric patients remains unclear. Aim: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effect of metformin on cardiometabolic parameters in obese children and adolescents with metabolic syndrome, focusing on insulin sensitivity, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and lipid profiles. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science. The inclusion criteria targeted randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published between 2004 and 2024. Pediatric patients aged 6-18 years with obesity and metabolic syndrome were included. The primary outcomes assessed were BMI, insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, blood pressure, and cardiovascular outcomes. Results: A total of 23 studies, including 10 RCTs and 1 meta-analysis, were reviewed, involving 777 patients. Metformin demonstrated consistent improvements in insulin sensitivity and BMI in obese children and adolescents. Several studies reported modest reductions in BMI, improved insulin resistance, and better lipid profiles. However, variability in results was observed regarding long-term cardiovascular outcomes. While metformin reduced systolic blood pressure and carotid intimal-medial thickness (CIMT), the long-term impact on preventing major cardiovascular events remained inconclusive. Discussion: Metformin’s benefits on cardiometabolic risk factors in obese children are primarily attributed to its effects on insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory pathways. Its ability to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) leads to improved metabolic profiles and reduced inflammation and is crucial for mitigating obesity-related cardiovascular risks. Despite these positive effects, the evidence for long-term prevention of cardiovascular events is limited and requires further exploration. Conclusions: Metformin offers significant short-term benefits in improving BMI, insulin sensitivity, and cardiometabolic parameters in obese children and adolescents. However, its long-term efficacy in preventing cardiovascular events remains uncertain. Further studies are necessary to establish its role in long-term cardiovascular protection in pediatric populations
Local Meanings of Peace: The Politics of Words and Emotional Labor among Civil Society Practitioners in Armenia and Turkey
Authors: Sarıaslan Kübra Zeynep , Avetisyan Armine
Published: October 2024

Despite their long-lasting work in Armenia and Turkey, peacebuilding practitioners of civil society have an ambivalent relationship with the term peace and refrain from defining their role as peacebuilders. Informed by the anthropological research adopting the local turn in peace and conflict studies, we explore how civil society practitioners in Armenia and Turkey perceive the concept of “peace” (խաղաղություն or khaghaghutyun in Armenian and barış in Turkish) and how they position themselves regarding the meanings they attach to this term. In this paper, we present data collected through semi-structured interviews with civil society practitioners from both countries, investigating the perceptions and practices in the aftermath of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020. We found that the flexibility of the term normalization in comparison to peacebuilding is preferred among civil society practitioners working for the Armenia-Turkey dialogue. We also show that the political context shapes local meanings of the word peace. While in Turkey, the authoritarian regime, restrictions on NGOs, and rise of ultranationalism make open advocacy for peace with Armenia difficult and risky, the war with Azerbaijan firmly structures where and how the word peace can be used in Armenia – even though it is not clear what is meant by it in either case. Finally, our research points out a neglected aspect of professionalism in this context and shows how it requires emotional labor to suppress enthusiasm and hope for peace. We close our paper with a call for further research among the youth and exploration of effective communication, alternative approaches, and terminologies that can foster meaningful dialogue and reconciliation without provoking divisive sentiments.
Keterlibatan perempuan Kristen dalam politik praktis dan gaya kepemimpinan: Sebuah perspektif teologi feminis
Authors: Natar Asnath Niwa
Published: October 2024

The year 2024 is the year of democracy. In addition to direct presidential elections, legislative elections are held at the Regency, City, Provincial, and Central levels. One aspect that needs attention in consolidating Indonesian democracy is gender equality in political life. After the 2019 elections, gender inequality still exists in Indonesia's political constellation. This can be seen from the unideal number of female parliamentarians. Then, what about the involvement of Christian women in practical politics? Do they get equal political opportunities, and what are the inhibiting factors? What style of women's leadership can contribute to practical politics? This issue will be reviewed from a feminist perspective to provide awareness so that more Christian women are involved in practical politics to fight for the fate of women.

Salah satu aspek yang perlu menjadi perhatian dalam mengkonsolidasikan demokrasi Indonesia adalah kesetaraan gender dalam kehidupan politik. Pasca Pemilu 2019, ketimpangan gender masih terjadi dengan jelas dalam konstelasi politik Indonesia. Hal ini bisa dilihat dari belum idealnya jumlah anggota parlemen perempuan. Lalu, bagaimana dengan keterlibatan perempuan Kristen dalam politik praktis? Apakah mereka mendapat peluang yang sama dalam politik, dan apa yang menjadi faktor penghambatnya. Apa gaya kepemimpinan perempuan yang bisa disumbangkan dalam politik praktis? Masalah ini akan ditinjau dari perspektif feminis, dengan tujuan memberikan penyadaran agar lebih banyak kaum perempuan Kristen yang terlibat dalam politik praktis untuk memperjuangkan nasib kaum perempuan
Cara pandang hierarkis dan logika dominasi sebagai akar penyebab ketidakadilan gender dan kerusakan alam: Sebuah kritik teologi ekofeminis Kristen
Authors: Lakonawa Petrus
Published: October 2024

In a world that is still constrained by oppression, discrimination, and violence against others, this article attempts to critically examine the hierarchical worldview and the logic of domination using a Christian ecofeminist theological perspective. This article aims to provide critical notes on several theological views that inherit or contribute to perpetuating hierarchical worldview, the logic of domination, and asymmetrical relationships, especially those that have become the basis for the oppression of women and nature. This study uses text analysis methods within the framework of a qualitative literature study to analyze and outline the core ideas of the logic of domination and the main theses of Christian ecofeminist theology to overcome the common exclusive and discriminatory theological problems. This research concludes that a hierarchical worldview and the logic of domination have become the root causes of various asymmetric exploitative relationships that have given rise to gender inequality, environmental destruction, and various other structural injustices in the world. This article encourages the emergence of collective awareness to fight for the social and ecological transformation of exploitative life structures.

Türk İslâm Edebiyatında Edebî Bir Tür Olarak Resm-i Osmânî Konulu Manzumeler ve Cefâyî’nin Resm-i Hatt-ı Kur’ân’a Dâ’ir Manzûme’si
Authors: Doğan Hasan
Published: October 2024

Şiirin eğitim ve öğretimdeki etkinliğini fark eden İslâm âlimleri, mensur olarak aktarıldığında ezberlenmesi zor olan bazı meseleleri manzum olarak ele alarak şiiri İslamî ilimlerin aktarılmasında bir araç olarak kullanmışlardır. Kur’an, sünnet ve edebiyatın kesiştiği bu noktada şiirle ilgilenen âlimlerin birtakım çabaları sonu-cunda tefsir, siyer, hadis, akaid, fıkıh, tecvit gibi konularda geniş bir manzum gelenek oluşmuştur. Asırlar boyunca devam eden bu anlayışın ve çabanın neticesinde yurt için ve yurt dışı kütüphanelerinde manzum tefsir, siyer, hadis tercümeleri, akaid-nâme, tecvit gibi türlerde sayısız örnekle karşılaşmaktayız. Kur’an ve şiirin kesiştiği noktada neşet edip gelişen türlerden biri de Resm-i Mushaf yahut Resm-i Osmânî konulu manzumelerdir. Başta İslâm topraklarının genişlemesi olmak üzere, siyasi, sosyal ve dinî çeşitli sebepler Kur’an’ın çoğaltılıp İslam coğrafyasının önemli merkezlerine gönderilmesini gerektirmiş ve bu ihtiyaca binaen Hz. Osman zamanında bir heyet kontrolünde Mushaf istinsah ettirilmiştir. İslâm âlimleri, Kur’an nüshalarının Hz. Osman’ın onayından geçen Mushafla aynı düzende olmasına ihtimam göstermişler ve Resm-i Mushaf, Mushaf-ı ‘Osmânî veya Mesâhif-i ‘Osmâniyye adı verilen kurallar belirlemişlerdir. Kur’an imlasıyla ilgili olan bu kurallar zamanla yeni bir disiplin teşekkül ettirmiş ve bu sahada çok sayıda eser kaleme alınmıştır. Şiire ilgisi olan bazı âlimler de söz konusu kuralları manzum olarak kaleme almışlardır. İlk olarak Arap dün-yasında örneklerini gördüğümüz bu manzumeler zamanla Türkçeye de aktarılmıştır. Şairlik kudreti olan bazı Türk âlimler de söz konusu tercümeleri nazmen yapmışlardır. Bu çalışma tercüme veya telif olsun Osmanlı Türkçesi ile kaleme alınmış Resm-i Mushaf konulu manzumelere odaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada öncelikle kütüphanelerde örneklerine rastlanan ilgili manzumeler tespit edilmiş, ardından Cefâyî mahlaslı bir şair tarafından kaleme alınmış Resm-i Hatt-ı Kur’ân’a Dair Manzume adlı eser incelenmiştir.

The Japanese IPIP-HEXACO Short Scale: Development and Validation of Reliability and Validity
Authors: Tokiwa Eisuke
Published: October 2024

In this study, we developed and validated the reliability and validity of a Japanese short version of the IPIP-HEXACO scale. A sample of 406 Japanese participants was used to create a short version consisting of 24 items that assess six personality traits based on the HEXACO model: Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience. The Cronbach’s alpha values for Extraversion (α = 0.79), Agreeableness (α = 0.72), and Openness to Experience (α = 0.73) showed high reliability, while Honesty-Humility (α = 0.60) and Emotionality (α = 0.58) indicated acceptable levels of reliability. Factor analysis confirmed the six-factor structure, and convergent validity was demonstrated through correlations with the HEXACO-PI, especially for Honesty-Humility (r = 0.49, p < .01) and Extraversion (r = 0.72, p < .01). These results suggest that the Japanese IPIP-HEXACO short scale is a reliable personality assessment tool and useful for applying the HEXACO model in Japanese contexts.

On the robustness and provenance of the gambler's fallacy
Authors: Xiang Yang , Dorst Kevin Matthew , Gershman Samuel J.
Published: October 2024

The gambler’s fallacy is typically defined as the false belief that a random event is less likely to occur if it has occurred recently, even when the probability of the event is known to be independent across trials. While forms of this fallacy have been documented numerous times, past work suffers from two problems. First, most studies have not actually measured probabilistic predictions (“60% likely to be heads”), but rather point predictions (“Heads”). Second, the few studies that did measure probabilistic beliefs used sequences that were not independent, and therefore not a strong test of the fallacy. To address these problems, we conducted a series of high-powered, preregistered studies. We asked participants to report probabilistic predictions for truly independent sequences. In contrast to point predictions, which (as in previous research) generated a significant gambler’s fallacy, we found no evidence for a gambler’s fallacy in probabilistic predictions. Moreover, the point predictions could not be reconstructed by sampling from the probability judgments. This suggests that the gambler’s fallacy originates at the decision stage rather than in probabilistic reasoning, as posited by several leading theories. In a separate experiment, we replicate the results of a previous study showing a small gambler’s fallacy for probabilistic predictions with non-independent sequences. However, to the extent that the gambler’s fallacy manifests for probabilistic predictions, it seems to be driven by a small proportion of the participants. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that the gambler’s fallacy is real and robust for point predictions, but not for probabilistic predictions with independent sequences. New theories of the gambler’s fallacy may be needed to explain these findings.

Researchers often want to measure a broad variety of constructs such as anxiety, discrimination, or loneliness in text data from surveys, academic articles, interviews, social media, and electronic health records. In practice, using large language models (LLMs) remain infeasible for many researchers due to concerns around privacy, cost, compute requirements, and computational expertise, and may prefer interpretable models to avoid mistakes in high-stakes scenarios. Lexicons offer a simpler solution by counting relevant words and phrases, making them very popular in the social sciences and as baseline models in computer science. Existing lexicons are limited because they measure a fixed set of constructs that are unlikely to cover the specific constructs of interest for a given application, resulting in low content validity. Building and validating new lexicons is resource intensive. In this study, we found that GPT-4 turbo was able to automatically create a lexicon for 49 known risk factors for suicidal thoughts and behaviors, which we release as the Suicide Risk Lexicon. We used the lexicon counts to predict risk levels in crisis counseling conversations. After validating it with experts, our model outperformed the widely-used LIWC lexicon and performed similarly to deep learning models. Through feature importance analysis, we discovered that active suicidal ideation, suicidal planning, and direct self-injury were stronger indicators of imminent risk than passive suicidal ideation or depressed mood. To simplify creating and validating new lexicons for any domain of research, we introduce a protocol and Python package, construct-tracker, that works with a variety of generative AI models.
Applying Psychological Network Analysis to Single-Case Design Studies: A Tutorial Using graphicalVAR
Authors: Omizu Takumi , Kunisato Yoshihiko
Published: October 2024

Psychological network analysis has been applied in various fields of psychology. In clinical psychology, in particular, psychological network research emphasizes the importance of estimating longitudinal networks for single-case studies (N = 1) to achieve personalized therapeutic interventions. In single-case longitudinal networks, relationships between variables across time points can be visualized as networks for each individual. The graphical vector autoregression model (graphicalVAR) is commonly used for estimating longitudinal networks, and R packages such as “graphicalVAR” have been developed for this purpose. This paper provides a tutorial on the application of psychological network analysis to single-case studies by explaining the mathematical background of longitudinal network estimation used in the graphicalVAR package and explaining the estimation methods using the R package.
Weight-related bullying in schools: a review of school anti-bullying policies
Authors: Hughes Amanda , Grey Elisabeth , Haigherty Alice , Shepherd Fayth , Gillison Fiona , Langford Rebecca
Published: October 2024

IntroductionWeight is the most common reason for being bullied at school - far more common than other targets for bullying such as ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. Research suggests weight bias and stigma - including negative beliefs, attitudes, and discriminatory behaviours related to a person’s weight - is prevalent in educational settings among both pupils and staff.Most schools have anti-bullying policies with best practice suggesting policies should explicitly identify forms of unacceptable behaviour, such as racism or homophobia. We conducted an audit of secondary schools in southwest England to determine if/how they mention weight-related bullying in their policies. MethodsWe obtained lists of all secondary mainstream state, private, and specialist schools in seven local authorities and downloaded anti-bullying policies from their websites. Policies were searched for key words related to weight and size. We also recorded whether policies mentioned appearance or other key targets for bullying, such as race, religion, sexuality etc. We obtained school level data including size, gender mix, academic performance and quality ratings. ResultsFrom 255 schools with an available bullying or behaviour policy, only 6.7% specifically mentioned weight-related bullying. Just under half (48.6%) mentioned bullying in relation to appearance. Bullying was most often mentioned in relation to race/ethnicity (94.5%), sexual orientation (93.3%), gender (85.9%), religion (84.9%), or gender identity (67.5%). Private schools (N=40) were more likely to mention weight-based bullying (17.5%) than mainstream state schools (N=148, 6.1%). No specialist schools, whether state (N=41) or private (N=26), mentioned bullying in their policies. There was no strong evidence that other school characteristics made a difference, but small numbers limited the power of these comparisons. ConclusionThere is a significant mismatch between the prevalence of weight-related bullying in schools and its representation within school anti-bullying policies. Some types of school are more likely than others to mention weight-based bullying in their policies. We recommend that schools explicitly recognise weight-related bullying in their anti-bullying policies and explore how to support staff and pupil to take action.
The Political Economy of Socioenvironmental Conflict: Evidence from Peru
Authors: Kreitmeir David Hajo
Published: October 2024

Over the past two decades, violence against land and environmental activists has been on the rise, besetting even stable democracies. Using a unique, fine-grained data set on social conflict events in Peru and exogenous variation in world mineral prices, I document a strong link between local mineral rents and violent state repression of socioenvironmental protests in a democratic institutional setting. I show that the increase in the use of excessive force cannot be explained by changes in protester behavior. Empirical findings highlight the role of local authorities: the election of a pro-mining mayor is associated with a higher prevalence of state repression and corruption in the constituency. The legal and democratic accountability of local authorities is, however, found to be limited. The reported increase in corruption does not translate into more investigations against pro-mining mayors for corruption offenses nor are reelection results of incumbents found to be negatively affected by state violence against protesters. Finally, I show that violent state repression is successful in forestalling conflict resolution agreements that acknowledge protesters’ demands.

The puddling operation and multiple tillage operations done in traditional rice-wheat system have negative impact on soil resulting into low productivity of rice - wheat system. A field experiment was conducted to find the alternate practices for enhancing the productivity of rice-wheat system at National Wheat Research Program, Bhairahawa during 2018/19. Three crop establishment methods: surface seeded wheat (SSW) followed by (fb) unpuddled transplanted rice (U-TPR), zero tilled wheat (ZTW) fb zero tilled direct seeded rice (ZT-DSR) and conventionally tilled wheat (CTW) fb puddled transplanted rice (PTR) were tested in two levels of residue management: residue removed (R0) and residue retention (R50). Three levels of nutrient management: recommended dose of NPK (F100), 25% higher dose of NPK (F125) and farmer’s practice (FP) were assigned in wheat. Strip-split plot design with 3 replications was used in wheat while strip-plot design with 9 replications was used in rice. Crop establishment methods (CSM) were assigned in vertical strips; residue management in horizontal blocks and nutrient management were assigned in subplots. The number of tillers at maximum tillering stage, maximum leaf area index, effective tiller per square meter and number of grains per spike of wheat were significantly affected by CSM, where ZTW had shown better results (413.7 tillers, 2.12 LAI, 224.1 effective tiller per square meter and 34.27 grains per spike) than SSW and CTW but the CSM had no significant effect on grain yield of both rice and wheat crop. R0 had produced significantly higher straw yield than R50 of both rice and wheat, whereas, R50 had produced significantly higher harvest index than R0 in rice. The application of 25% more nutrients than the recommended dose resulted in the significantly better growth, yield attributes, and yield of wheat. The ZTW fb ZT-DSR had produced significantly higher system yield than SSW fb U-TPR where, CTW fb PTR was statistically at par with both systems. The recommended dose of nutrients (F100) and 25% higher than F100 (F125) had produced significantly higher system yield than farmer’s practice (FP) dose. Research results revealed that ZTW fb ZT-DSR system can be suggested instead of traditional CTW fb PTR system without significant yield differences.
Adoption and Impact of Rainwater Harvesting Technology in Nepal
Authors: Kattel Rishi Ram
Published: October 2024

The rainwater harvesting (RWH) technology has been introduced to upland farmers in Nepal who have been practicing rain-fed subsistence agriculture. Using cross-sectional household level data from 282 farmers in four districts of Makwanpur, Palpa, Gulmi and Syangja, probit and treatment-effects models were used to identify factors that influence the adoption of RWH and its impact on farm income. The adoption of rain water harvesting was mostly driven by trainings that farmers received while controlling for age, poverty status and off-farm income. The adoption of RWH technology more than doubles household agricultural and livestock income. Instrumental variable approach was used to check the robustness of the findings. Adopters benefited from an increased supply of irrigation water, which allows them to diversify their crops from cereal production to high-value crops during dry season. Given the many weather-related uncertainties faced by rainfed farmers in Nepal, rain water harvesting is potentially a very useful climate adaptation strategy. These results were robust to alternative model specification and estimation method.
