ANALISIS KINERJA SIMPANG APILL DAN RHK DI KOTA PALANGKA RAYA STUDI KASUS : JL. TJILIK RIWUT – JL. KAHAYAN
Authors: Ayunda Norvia , . Murniati , Elvina Ina
Published: October 2022

Kota Palangka Raya merupakan Ibu Kota Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah yang pembangunannya saat ini terus mengalami peningkatan seiring dengan bertambahnya jumlah penduduk dan semakin pesatnya kegiatan sosial ekonomi masyarakat. Hal ini mengakibatkan sebagian besar ruas jalan dan persimpangan yang ada mengalami penurunan tingkat pelayanan akibatnya sering terjadi penumpukan jumlah kendaraan ringan termasuk sepeda motor maupun kendaraan tidak bermotor, di persimpangan pada saat fase merah alat pemberi isyarat lampu lalu lintas (APILL). Pengaturan APPIL (Alat Pemberi Isyarat Lampu Lalu Lintas) yang baik akan membuat koordinasi di setiap kaki simpang berlangsung baik, namun sebaliknya pengaturan APILL yang tidak baik akan membuat koordinasi di setiap kaki simpang berlangsung tidak baik sehingga menimbulkan tundaan dan antrian panjang lalu lintas. Selain pengaturan APILL, untuk mengatasi penurunan kepadatan di persimpangan bersinyal, maka perlu dilakukan rekayasa lalu lintas dengan cara memberikan fasilitas Ruang Henti Khusus (RHK) Sepeda Motor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kinerja simpang dan kinerja RHK yang terjadi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah melakukan survey lalu lintas selama 24 jam 7 hari beruturut-turut untuk mendapatkan volume lalu lintas, setelah itu melakukan analisis menggunakan PKJI 2014 untuk mendapatkan kinerja simpang dan Balai Teknik Lalu lintas dan Lingkungan Jalan 2012 untuk mendapatkan kinerja RHK. Dari hasil analisis dapat disimpulkan bahwa kinerja simpang dari Jl. Tjilik Riwut – Jl. Kahayan sudah bekerja dengan baik yaitu dengan nilai derajat kejenuhan 0,62 dan tingkat keteresiannya sebesar 8% atau kurang berhasil diterapkan karena tingkat keterisisan terhadap kapasitas <60%.

A Comparative Study on the Holistic Approach to the Qurʾān
Authors: KABAKCI Ersin
Published: October 2022

The holistic approach to the Qurʾān is a phrase used under different headings in the field of tafsīr. The article assumes that a comparative analysis of the usage areas will provide more clear and understandable data on the scope of this phrase. The aim of the article is to bring out the scope of the expressions such as the holistic approach to the Qurʾān and the unity of the Qurʾānic text, thus to reveal the difference among these uses. Based on this background, the article presents and analyzes five different topics in which the aforementioned phrases are used in the field of tafsīr. These are the interpretation of the Qurʾān by the Qurʾān (tafsīr al-Qurʾān bi’l-Qurʾān), the relationship between verses and sūras (munāsabāt al-āyāt wa’l-suwar), thematic tafsīr (al-tafsīr al-mawḍūʿī), sūrah-based tafsīr, and structural studies based on Semitic rhetoric. Tafsīr al-Qurʾān bi’l-Qurʾān means the explanation of a verse with other verses of the Qurʾān, thus refering to the understanding of the text in its inner unity. Munāsabāt al-āyāt wa’l-suwar contains the thesis that the verse and sūra units should have a successive relationship, so it has the concept of unity that is expected to emerge from this relationship. Thematic tafsīr proposes to consider the verses related to a particular subject of the Qurʾān as a whole. Sūra-based tafsīr claims that the Qurʾānic sūras are whole units with certain main themes. As for the structural studies based on Semitic rhetoric defended by some scholars in recent Western studies, the Qurʾān is a text that has some symmetrical structures and therefore has structural unity. In each of these headings, we come across holistic approaches that differ from each other at certain points.
Features of the Handwriting of the Novgorod Scribe Domka of the 12th Century: Spelling Arguments for the Identity of the Handwritings of the Milyatino Gospel and the Paroemiarion Lazarevsky
Authors:   Vinogradov Russian Language Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Molkov Georgiy
Published: October 2022

The article shows that the identification of the handwritings of the manuscripts of the Lazarevsky Monastery, carried out in a recent study by S. M. Mikheev, is reliably confirmed by spelling arguments. In the handwriting of the Paroemiarion Lazarevsky, there are a number of recognizable particular features in the writing of individual orthograms (the distribution of e and ѣ in morphemes with the reflex of the combination *tert, the peculiarities of writing ъ, ь in some bases, of the ts–ch merger etc.), previously described based on the handwriting of the scribe Domka in Milyatino Gospel. The identified complex of coinciding spelling features is compared with the data of the third manuscript, one of the handwritings of which S. M. Mikheev attributed to the same scribe – the Service Menaion of the RGADA Typographic Collection, No. 99. Affiliation of the Service Menaion’s handwriting to the same scribe as the passages of the first two manuscripts at the spelling level is not confirmed.
Loanwords Derived from the Indo-European Root *leg in Old Slavic and Old Russian Manuscripts
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Grigorev Andrey
Published: October 2022

The author describes the words of Greek and Latin origin in Old Slavonic and Old Russian manuscripts of the 11–14th centuries tracing back to the Indo-European root *leg- ‘to collect’ > ‘to speak, to read’ with relation to their etymology, semantics and word-formation structure. The time of borrowing of these words is established, their internal form and features of semantic history are considered.
To the Question of the Verbal Forms of the Ostromir Gospel (3rd Person Singular and Plural in the Praesens)
Authors:   Vinogradov Russian Language Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Iordanidi Sofia
Published: October 2022

The article sets the task to systematize the complex of problems associated with the Ostromir Gospel of 1056-1057 (against the background of Old Slavonic sources), and, if possible, to approach their resolution, taking into account both old and newest studies. It is suggested that the inflection of the 3rd person singular and plural of present, ascending to *ti, having been fixed in some part of the South Slavic territory as -tь, could also appear in the most ancient Slavic sources, including those that became the protograph of the monument under study. Therefore, the resumption of the search and the discovery of the protograph would dot the i’s in solving the inflection problem: its regularity would receive an adequate explanation. Attention is also drawn to the variance of inflections appearing in Old Russian and Old Slavonic manuscripts (-tъ, -tь and zero), as important material for understanding and solving the problems raised in this work. The article is a review to a certain extent.
The Old Russian Translation of the Decree on Slaves of the Patriarch of Constantinople Germanus II to Metropolitan Kirill I of Kyiv (1228)
Authors:   Russian Academy of Sciences Library, Korogodina Mariia
Published: October 2022

The paper is devoted to the decree of the Patriarch of Constantinople Germanus II to Metropolitan Kirill I of Kyiv (1228) on the ban on ordaining slaves. This Synodal decree was sent in answer to some complaint on an offence against church law in Kyiv Metropolis. The decree is kept in the Old Russian translation only. Perhaps, the appearance of the decree was connected with the replacement of the bishops in Vladimir Volynskij. No earlier than in the middle of the 14th century the decree got an original Old Russian addition, dedicated to the protection of the bishopric courts and cloisters’ properties.
The Slavonic Translation of the (Ps.-)Chrysostomian Homily de Capto Eutropio (CPG 4528)
Authors:   University of Vienna, Reinhart Johannes
Published: October 2022

The Homily оf the arrested Eutropios (Homilia de capto Eutropio; CPG 4528), which may be ascribed to St John Chrysostom, has come down to us in more than 40 Greek copies of the 10th – 17th centuries. According to the Clavis patrum graecorum the Slavonic translation of the Homily is preserved in the November volume of the Great Reading Menaea of Makarij. However, the Slavonic text is attested in numerous manuscripts. There are Middle Bulgarian (e. g. Russian National Library, Hilferding collection № 35; only the beginning is preserved), East Slavonic (e. g. Russian State Library, Collection of the Trinity Monastery № 167) as well as Serbian (e. g. Vienna, Slav. № 131) copies. No copy is older than the 14th century. On the basis of some linguistic features (e. g. confusion of the nasal vowels) one can assume that the translation originated in the 13th or 14th century in Bulgaria. The Slavonic translation of the Homily has never been investigated before. The present paper gives a description of the language of the oldest copies and tries to establish their textological relationship.
The Greek Origin of the Canon on the Miracles of St. John of Rila: George Skylitzes’ Authorship
Authors:   Institute of Lithuanian Language, Temčinas Sergejus
Published: October 2022

The article focuses on the Canon on the miracles of St. John of Rila. Its Slavonic text is known solely from a Cyrillic Western Bulgarian manuscript copy of the early 14th century (St. Petersburg, National Library of Russia, Main Collection of the Manuscript Books (f. 550), F.I.p.72, fol. 35r‒38v.). It was published by Kl. Ivanova (1983), who considered it to be an original Slavonic composition, dated it to 1186‒1187 (when the relics of St. John of Rila returned from Hungary to the Bulgarian city of Serdica) and revealed its textual relation to the Life of John of Rila by the Byzantine writer George Skylitzes (the Greek original is nonextant). I. Dobrev (2002, 2007), using the method of reverse (Slavonic to Greek) translation of the initial words of the troparia of the Canon, identified a Greek acrostic ΥΜΝΟΣ ‘song (Nominative case)’ in the first five troparia (through the 1st troparion of the 3rd ode inclusive) and considered this Canon to be a compilation of two different sources, both translated from Greek: the first five troparia are taken from an unknown acrostic canon to St. John of Rila by George Skylitzes, and the rest were written without the use of an acrostic by an anonymous Byzantine hymnographer. Later Kl. Ivanova (2018) accepted the proposed Greek origin of the first five troparia of the Canon, but spoke out again for a Slavonic origin of the subsequent (main) part of the same composition. The present article reveals a textual relation of two troparia from the 8th ode of the Canon on the miracles of John of Rila with two authentic (composed with an acrostic) hymnographic works by George Skylitzes: his canons to the great martyrs St. George and St. Demetrius of Thessalonica. In addition, an original Greek acrostic (*ΥΜΝΟΣ ΝΕΑΡΟΣ ΘΑΥΜΑΤΩΝ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ. ΣΚΥΛΙΤΖ[ΗΣ] ‘A new hymn to the wonders of John. Skylitzes’) is reconstructed using the method of reverse (Slavonic to Greek) translation of the initial words of the troparia of the Canon. The last two hymns are missing from the unique manuscript copy of its Slavonic version. The new attribution of authorship indicates that the author was still alive in 1186‒1187.

Authors: Yazici Ayşegül
Published: October 2022

This research was carried out in order to examine the motivation of the students of the faculty of sports sciences for participation in physical activity in terms of various variables. In this context, the general survey model, which is consistent with the main purpose of the study was used in this quantitative study. The sample of the study consists of a total of 479 students, of which 214 are female and 265 are male. In the creation of the sample, it was benefited from convenience sampling method which is one of the non-probabilistic sampling approaches. Questionnaire form was used as data collection tool and this form consists of two parts. In the first part of the questionnaire, there is the “Personal Information Form,” and in the second part, there is the “Motivation Scale for Participation in Physical Activity.” The illustrative statistics of the raw data obtained through this form were firstly calculated by considering the data type. Then, the reliability of the scale dimensions related to the obtained data was investigated and the difference and correlation tests were used in statistical evaluations. Accordingly, significant differences were found in the variables of gender, mother education level and active sports status. However, there was no significant difference found in the scale dimensions within the scope of the father’s education level, the place of residence with the family, the licensed sportsman status and the national sportsman status. In addition to this, it was observed that there were negative and low-level significant correlations between the age variable and individual causes and the motivation for participation in physical activity (total) dimensions. On the other hand, no significant correlation was found between personal income level and family income level variables and scale dimensions. As a result, the motivation of the students of the faculty of sports sciences for participation in physical activity within the scope of various variables is described as it exists.

Authors: Mikhail
Published: October 2022

The topic of this thesis is devoted to the use of various solutions for electrical circuits of pressure sensor (PS) chips. The piezoresistive differential amplifier (PDA) with 4 piezoresistors (PR) and piezoresistive differential amplifier with negative feedback loop (PDA-NFL) with 8 PRs used as electrical circuit. The use of deformable and non-deformable bipolar junction transistors (BjT) with vertical structure npn-type (V-NPN) and lateral structure pnp-type (L-PNP) is considered. The first, the output characteristics of developed piezoresistive PDA chip are researched in the comparative analysis relative to analog TMU18 with Wheatstone bridge (WB) circuit for 60 kPa pressure range. The analysis confirmed the possibility of sensitivity increasing by 2.2 times while maintaining the input conditions for geometry of mechanical structure and supply voltage. The second, the output characteristics of the developed piezoresistive PDA-NFL chip are researched in the comparative analysis relative to analog IPD60 with WB circuit for 60, 160 and 600 kPa pressure ranges. The analysis confirmed the possibility of sensitivity increasing by 3.5 times while maintaining the input conditions for geometry of mechanical structure, supply voltage and low errors; or minimization of chip area by 2.4 times while maintaining sensitivity. The possibility of reducing the noise of zero output signal by 20 times and the errors of temperature characteristics by more than an order relative to the parameters of piezoresistive PDA chip has been confirmed. The third, the output characteristics of ultra-highly sensitive small-sized PDA-NFL chip confirmed the possibility of simultaneously sensitivity increasing by 5.8 times and reducing chip area by 2.4 times relative to the analog IPD52 with WB circuit for 10 kPa range and while maintaining supply voltage and low errors.

Utilizing LNG as a Cheap and Environmentally Friendly Energy Source (Regasification) in West Java
Authors: Faisal Achmad , Sembiring Edison , Kholil
Published: October 2022

The increase in population and economic development requires more energy support that grows every year. To meet energy needs in Indonesia, especially in Java, it is necessary to find cheap and environmentally friendly energy sources other than oil and coal, by utilizing LNG (Liquid Natural Gas). This study aims to determine the business feasibility of developing an LNG terminal as a cheap and environmentally friendly energy source (regasification) in West Java. The approach used in this research is analytical descriptive, data collection through interviews and discussions with stakeholders selected from the retail LNG terminal which includes owners, potential investors, potential customers and competitors. The data analysis used economic feasibility NPV (Net present value), IRR ( Internal Rate Of Return), PBP (payback period) and PI (Profitability Index). The results of the analysis show that the construction of the LNG terminal is feasible with the net present value of the project amounting to USD 9,883,927 with a discount of 11%. This result displays a positive NPV value which means that the invested funds are able to generate positive cash flows thus the NPV value is positive. IRR Project value is 12.48% and IRR Equity is 19.42% which is greater than bank interest. The payback period for this LNG project is 6 years with a profitability index (PI) of 1.3. A PI value of 1.3 which is greater than 1 means that the proposed investment project is declared feasible (accepted). It also indicates the present value of cash inflows generated by the investment project is greater than the present value of cash out flows. Given the urgent need for alternative energy, the construction of an LNG terminal must be carried out immediately; therefore, it needs affirmative policy support from the government.

Recognizing Local Leaders as an Anti-Corruption Strategy: Experimental and Ethnographic Evidence from Uganda
Authors: Buntaine Mark T , Bagabo Alex , Bangerter Tanner , Bukuluki Paul , Daniels Brigham
Published: October 2022

Conventional anti-corruption approaches focus on detecting and punishing the misuse of public office. Recognizing that these approaches are often ineffective in settings where social norms do not support reporting on and punishing corruption, we implemented a field experiment in Uganda that offered elected, local leaders the chance to earn positive, public recognition for overseeing development projects according to legal guidelines. We then conducted a second field experiment that informed other leaders and members of the public about the award winners. Offering leaders the chance to earn recognition did not improve the management of public projects or change leaders' norms about corruption. Informing other leaders and residents about the award winners also did not change behaviors or attitudes related to corruption. A paired ethnographic study shows that the possibility for recognition generated excitement, but was not able to overcome constraints on local leaders' ability to manage public projects. Our study provides some of the first experimental evidence about using non-financial incentives to improve the performance of public officials. The results imply that non-financial incentives are at best complementary to systemic changes in public financial management, particularly in settings with pervasive corruption and governance challenges.

The effect of exposure to social-media coverage of the Russo-Ukrainian war on stress symptoms in Dutch adolescents
Authors: Runze Jana , Marten Finja , Brinke Lysanne te
Published: October 2022

On February 24th 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine which formed a major escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Via various social media platforms, adolescents can be constantly exposed to extensive war-related media content, even if they are not directly affected. This might pose an indirect threat to their wellbeing. In the current study, we made use of an ongoing longitudinal survey study with 426 adolescents (13-25 years old) from the Netherlands. The participants reported on their media exposure about the Russian-Ukrainian war as well as their stress symptoms in consequence of it. A linear regression model showed that war-related media exposure predicted stress symptoms in the adolescents. This relation was not moderated by trust in the news, social media or the government. Our study adds important insight into the indirect effects of war-related media on adolescents in Western Europe.

Published: October 2022

Scientists write research articles, process ethics reviews, evaluate proposals and research, and seek funding. Several strategies have been proposed to optimize these operations and to decentralize access to research resources and opportunities. For instance, we previously proposed the trinity review method, combining registered reports with financing and research ethics assessments. However, previously proposed systems have a number of shortcomings, including how to implement them, e.g., who manages them, how incentives for reviewers are paid, etc. Various solutions have been proposed to address these issues, employing decentralized science (DeSci) in an independent organization built on the blockchain. Decentralized approaches that exploit these developments offer potentially profound improvements to the troubled scientific ecosystem. Here, we propose a system that integrates ethics reviews, peer reviews, and funding in a decentralized manner, based on Web3 technology. This new method, named ABCDEF publishing, would enhance the speed, fairness, and transparency of scientific research and publishing.
Does the mere presence of a smartphone impact cognitive performance? A meta-analysis of the “brain drain effect”
Authors: Parry Douglas A.
Published: October 2022

Two seminal articles investigated the possibility that the mere presence of a smartphone might negatively impact cognitive performance, with one paper posing the “brain drain” hypothesis which posits that smartphone presence will impair working memory capacity and fluid intelligence, but not sustained attention and response inhibition. To assess the strength of evidence for the claim that the mere presence of a smartphone can negatively impact cognitive performance, this study reports a systematic review and six meta-analyses (k = 56, n = 7093). Across cognitive functions only a single statistically significant pooled effect was found. Working memory capacity was negatively impacted by the mere presence of a smartphone, while results for the remaining cognitive functions produced null summary effects. The analysis also finds that there is substantial methodological heterogeneity and generally poor statistical power in the domain. Overall, while the current meta-analysis provides limited support for a negative albeit smaller than theorized brain drain effect due to the mere presence of a smartphone, given methodological concerns, the extent to which the current body of literature can support or refute the hypothesis is limited.

Published: October 2022

The accuracy of information obtained by 28 self-claimant mediums related to 100 readings obtained with a triple level of blinding was examined across three indices: percentage of correct reading identified by the sitters, global score of readings and percentage of difference between correct and incorrect information.All three indices showed statistical differences of the intended versus the control readings: correct identification 65%; global score: intended readings, mean = 2.4, SD= 1.5; control readings, mean = 1.7, SD =1.2; percentage difference between correct and incorrect information: intended readings, mean = -7.9%, SD = 38.7%; control readings, mean = -27.3%, SD = 38%.Our results using this large sample confirm previous results, supporting the hypothesis that self-claimant mediums are able to retrieve correct information about deceased people without knowing and interacting with the sitters, having access with only to the deceased persons’s first name.
Step by step - Serial dependencies between locomotion and visual space
Authors: Wiesing Michael , Zimmermann Eckart
Published: October 2022

How do we know the spatial distance of objects around us? Only by physical interaction within an environment can we measure true physical distances. Here, we tested whether physical travel distances, measured during walking, calibrate visual space perception. Virtual reality combined with motion tracking was used to precisely alter the sensorimotor contingencies occurring during walking in a realistic virtual environment. Participants were asked to walk to a briefly highlighted location. During walking, we systematically changed the optic flow, i.e., the ratio between the visual and physical motion speed. Although participants remained unaware of this manipulation, they walked a shorter or longer distance as a function of the optic flow speed. After walking, participants were required to estimate the perceived distance of visual objects. We found that visual estimates were serially dependent on the experience of the manipulated flow in the previous trial. Further experiments demonstrated that the combination of altered visual and physical motion is necessary to change visual perception. We conclude that the brain constantly uses movements to measure space for both, actions, and perception.
Theoretical foundation and empirical assessment of representation and meritocracy in academia
Authors: Tekwa EW , Giles Rachel K , Davis Alexandra CD
Published: October 2022

Quantifying meritocracy directly is unfeasible because it requires large research efforts (such as surveys and controlled hiring experiments) that do not benefit the existing power structure. We circumvent this conundrum by proposing the use of openly accessible surname-publication data to quantify intergenerational representation in academia, which captures the socioeconomic aspect of diversity relative to the general population. We then use individual-based models of the intergenerational cycle of academic selection and reproduction to show that representation and merit in academia are entangled. We distinguish merit, or an academic candidate’s potential to produce given opportunities, from produced capital, including accomplishments before graduate school that only imperfectly predicts merit in a complex and changing world. Data from Harvard and US income groups and multiple independent model predictions all suggest that US academics are twice as likely as others to historically be academics by surname and underperform compared to a more representative academia, but individual-based affirmative action consistently raises academics’ mean merit. For academics aiming to tackle global crises, a lack of representation and merit may ultimately prevent actions necessary to avert disasters. This study reveals the magnitude of inequality, supports an individual justice foundation of affirmative action, and calls for recruitment evaluation that values merit over capital.

Published: October 2022

This article presents the first results of a series of works wherepropose extensions to Schelling's segregation model, one of the key models inthe genesis and development of Agent-Based Models (ABM) and the Systems TheoryComplex topics. In this first work the Schelling model is introduced, summarizedsome of the most relevant extensions that have been proposed so far and areThey propose 4 new extensions. To monitor the results of each modeluse a set of indicators or metrics that allow evaluating the degree of segre-obtained and the trajectory followed in each case. From these exercises it followsa set of results, for example, that the incorporation of individual preferencesrandom, does not necessarily deepen the results in terms of segregation. ByOn the other hand, the inclusion of a feedback mechanism from which the agentsbecome less tolerant as segregation increases generate dynamicsinteresting. In this scenario, the reduction in exchange opportunities betweendifferent classes/groups/ethnic groups that coexist in the urban space leads to stereotypingmutual stigmatization and stigmatization, giving rise to the formation of small ghettos, evenin the presence of initially highly tolerant agents, may trigger a process thatend up with a highly segregated urban space with very low levels of tolerancecia between groups.

The Hidden Injuries of Assimilation: Exploring the Relationship between Subjective Assimilation and Mental Health
Authors: Zhang Jienian
Published: October 2022

Assimilation research has a long history in sociology, much of it focusing on behavioral and structural outcomes. Recent qualitative work examines the subjective dimension of assimilation by focusing on subjective experiences of social inequality in a race-conscious society. I adapt the idea of subjective assimilation to the context of racial inequality and argue that the extent to which racial minority children of immigrants suffer negative mental health outcomes depends on the degree to which they are subjectively assimilated. I test my hypotheses using a fixed-effects regression model and data from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study. My findings partially support my hypotheses and suggest that the relationship between subjective assimilation and mental health varies across racial groups. I conclude by discussing future research.
Safeguarding in Sport and Policy Advocacy: The Role of the Council of Europe
Authors: Moustakas Louis , Petry Karen
Published: October 2022

Violence and maltreatment in sport threaten athlete rights and undermine sport's potential contribution to positive social development. This problem remains prevalent in organised sport and limits sport's potential social contribution. In response, numerous European and international actors have pursued activities to address this serious issue. In particular, for more than two decades, the Council of Europe (CoE) has played an active role in promoting and supporting safeguarding policy in sport. However, though extensive time and resources have been invested in these actions, their extent and impact remain unclear. Therefore, using the Council of Europe's Start to Talk initiative as a case, we aim to analyse the inputs, activities, and policy outcomes of their work around safeguarding policy in sport. In turn, this will allow us to identify successes, challenges and future directions for European policy activities. We rely on document analysis and more than 20 semi-structured qualitative interviews with national and international experts to generate our results. Based on this, we find that the CoE has helped politically legitimise action on this topic and has helped generate engagement with policymakers and the public. However, a broader lack of policy monitoring, especially at the systems and target population levels, restricts further progress and development.
Smashing the glasshouse. Diminishing the prestige of measures of higher education
Authors: Saltelli Andrea , Theben Alexandra , Scandurra Rosario
Published: October 2022

According to many authors the ranking of institutes and universities of higher education (HE) has provoked dramatic consequences in terms of transforming these institutions into a global market, sending the university prices skyrocketing and generally modifying the landscape of HE. While these measures, developed worldwide by several actors, abound in terms of measures of excellence, and in subjective indicators of prestige, none of them include as one of the criteria the price to the students of attending their courses and campuses. Substantial doubts have also been raised about the methodologies adopted by developers. If costs were included the panorama of HE in terms of desirability for students and their family would change considerably. In the present work we test this idea with a sample of universities for which data are available. We also poll the existing literature to gauge what the scholars thinks of HE rankings in terms of risks versus desirability. Finally, we use these elements to build a case against rankings of HEIs, including various strands of scholarship, including from sociology of quantification.
Mixed Signals? Economically (Dis)advantaged Students’ College Attendance under Mandatory College and Career Readiness Assessments
Authors: Smith Christian Michael , Hirschl Noah
Published: October 2022

In 2015, Wisconsin began mandating the ACT college entrance exam and the WorkKeys career readiness assessment. With population-level data and several quasi-experimental designs, we assess how this policy affected college attendance. We estimate a positive policy effect for middle/high-income students, no effect for low-income students, and greater effects at high schools that had lower ACT participation before the policy. We further find little evidence that being deemed college-ready by one’s ACT scores or career-ready by one’s WorkKeys scores affects college attendance probabilities. Pragmatically, the findings highlight the policy’s excellence and equity consequences, which are complex since the policy has principally helped advantaged students. Theoretically, the findings shed light on students’ (dis)inclinations to update educational beliefs in light of new signals.
Challenges to academic-practitioner knowledge exchange on illegal wildlife trade
Authors: Parker Benjamin , Veríssimo Diogo , Cugnière Laure , Bullough Leigh-Anne , Collavo Tanja
Published: October 2022

Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) can have significant and deleterious impacts. Academic-practitioner knowledge exchange can improve the effectiveness of strategies to counter IWT; however, cases of inadequate knowledge exchange have been reported. To explore the challenges to academic-practitioner knowledge exchange on IWT, we conducted three workshops in the United Kingdom with a total of 10 academics from five universities and 15 practitioners from nine organisations that work on IWT, plus one interview with a senior conservation practitioner. We identified five main challenges, including general differences in the aims and worldviews of academics versus practitioners; poor communication; and the large size, diversity, and dynamism of networks working on IWT. Stretched resources, particularly insufficient time and funding, accentuate these challenges. The challenges we identified align with the challenges experienced in other areas of conservation, but some aspects are particularly acute for IWT. Our identification and description of these main challenges to academic-practitioner knowledge exchange on IWT could guide efforts to address them in current or future work on IWT. Also, as shown, consideration of our findings alongside relevant literature flag measures that could contribute towards countering the identified challenges to academic-practitioner knowledge exchange on IWT.
An Epistemological and Infodemiological Framework for Health-Communication During COVID-19 and Future Crises
Authors: Rovetta Alessandro , Castaldo Lucia
Published: October 2022

In this paper, we address some of the main problems concerning health dismisinformation by modeling the structure of scientific information and communication and by providing a broad overview of the factors contributing to an infodemic. Alongside this, we propose an operational lineup for health communication and a new epistemological method for cataloging scientific evidence.
Civic Engagement and Latina Immigrant Mothers’ Remote Learning Involvement During COVID-19
Authors: Delgado Vanessa
Published: October 2022

Immigrant incorporation scholars have established that racialized immigrant parents encounter several barriers in their children’s schooling: namely, language and cultural differences, discrimination, unfamiliarity with the U.S. schooling system, and unhelpful school agents. However, less is known about the mechanisms that lessen these challenges. Drawing on insights from immigrant incorporation and civic engagement literature, this study examines how advocacy organizations can mediate the barriers racialized immigrant parents face in their children’s schooling. A case study of 20 Latina immigrant mothers is used to demonstrate how civically engaged parents drew on their participation with a local advocacy organization—Parent’s Choice—to overcome the barriers that emerged during the transition to remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings suggest that immigrant mothers leveraged their connection to Parent’s Choice to learn how to use technology, get district-related updates, secure devices necessary for at-home learning, create complaints or demands for services at their children’s school, fill out paperwork, and access community-based referrals. Parent’s Choice provided support and empowered Latina immigrant parents by minimizing the overwhelming barriers they faced during online learning. These findings complicate our understanding of immigrant civic engagement patterns and provide implications of how civic engagement can facilitate the incorporation of marginalized parents in educational institutions.
Ecological postwork theory
Authors: Hoffmann Maja , Frayne David
Published: October 2022

Postwork explores the possibility of futures characterized by a radically different quantity and rhythm, organization and ethical valuation of work. It combines substantial critiques of work with imaginaries and proposals for emancipatory social change, to overcome a society relentlessly centred on work and productivism. We give an overview of the notion of postwork and clarify its ecological relevance. After discussing the ecological significance of work, we reflect on the ways in which the postwork literature has (or has not) engaged with ecological questions. While we find that postwork is not necessarily or commonly connected to ecological issues, there are notable contributions that relate to ecological concerns in novel and inspiring ways and offer valuable ideas for an ecological postwork theory and non-reformist eco-politics. We conclude by pointing out certain aspects that postwork, both in research and as a political project, could further address to develop its full ecological potential.
How Warm are Partisan Political Interactions? A Frequency-based Measure of Affective Fractionalization
Authors: Hudde Ansgar , Horne Will , Adams James , Gidron Noam
Published: October 2022

Affective polarization measures account for partisans’ feelings towards their own party versus its opponent(s), irrespective of how frequently partisans encounter co-partisans versus out-partisans in everyday interactions and public discourse. However, the social impact of cross-party hostility depends on both the intensity of dislike and the frequency with which this comes into play. We develop an affective fractionalization measure that accounts for both factors and apply it to longitudinal survey data from 20 Western publics. This fractionalization perspective implies that the partisans in countries with fewer dominant parties – notably the United States – may interact less frequently with out-partisans, which might cushion the negative social impact of inter-party animosity. At the party level, partisans of smaller and more radical parties are particularly isolated because they strongly dislike out-partisans but are highly likely to interact with them. Over time, affective fractionalization has increased in most countries, partly due to rising cross-party hostility but primarily because most Western party systems have become increasingly fragmented.
