THE SOCIETY OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY’S PUBLICATION POLICY IS INCONSISTENT WITH SCIENTIFIC EPISTEMOLOGY
Authors: Saitta Evan
Published: October 2020

The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology has urged scientific journals to reject studies that use data from privately owned fossil collections. Here, I argue that the Society’s perspective on reproducibility in science is overly simplistic. Their suggested publication policy, at best, slows the progress of science and, at worst, permits scientific misconduct through a form of data falsification and provides a potential mechanism to bully and censor researchers. The best way to ensure the long-term survival of fossil data is to collect and publish the data while the specimens are available.
The Role of Right Hemisphere in Language Is Executive Rather than Linguistic
Authors: Kang Weixi , Azadikhah Afshin , Mei Jie
Published: October 2020

Despite a long history of research favors left lateralization of language, increasingevidence provides support to the claim that the right hemisphere also plays a role inlanguage. Although studies have indicated that the right hemisphere contributes tolanguage representation, the underlying neural mechanisms are partly investigated andremain elusive. In this review, we hypothesize that the right hemisphere is involved inlanguage but its contributions are more likely to be domain-general rather than linguistic.The present work provides a thorough review of the growing body of research that hasdemonstrated how the right hemisphere is related to language with a focus on specificneural mechanisms underlying various aspects of language, and discusses why somebrain regions of the right hemisphere such as supramarginal gyrus are essential fordomain-general processes (e.g., verbal working memory) involved in language, ratherthan directly contributing to language itself.
Linguistic Inversion and Numerical Estimation
Authors: Savelkouls Sophie , Williams Katherine , Barth Hilary
Published: October 2020

Number line estimation (NLE) performance is usually believed to depend on the magnitudes of presented numerals, rather than on the particular digits instantiating those magnitudes. Recent research, however, shows that NLE placements differ considerably for target numerals with nearly identical magnitudes, but instantiated with different leftmost digits (Lai, Zax, & Barth, 2018). Here we investigate whether this left digit effect may be due, in part, to the ordering of digits in number words. In English, the leftmost digit of an Arabic numeral is spoken first (“forty-one”), but Dutch number words are characterized by the inversion property: the rightmost digit of a two-digit number word is spoken first (“eenenveertig” - one and forty in Dutch). Participants (N = 40 Dutch-English bilinguals and N = 20 English-speaking monolinguals) completed a standard 0-100 NLE task. Target numerals were read aloud by an experimenter in either English or Dutch. Preregistered analyses revealed a strong left digit effect in monolingual English speakers’ estimates: e.g., 41 was placed more than two units to the right of 39. No left digit effect was observed among Dutch-English bilingual participants tested in either language. These findings are consistent with the idea that the order in which digits are spoken might influence multi-digit number processing, and suggests linguistic influences on numerical estimation performance.
Task-general efficiency of evidence accumulation as a computationally-defined neurocognitive trait: Implications for clinical neuroscience
Authors: Weigard Alexander Samuel , Sripada Chandra
Published: October 2020

Quantifying individual differences in higher-order cognitive functions is a foundational area of cognitive science that also has profound implications for research on psychopathology. For the last two decades, the dominant approach in these fields has been to attempt to fractionate higher-order functions into hypothesized components (e.g., “inhibition”, “updating”) through a combination of experimental manipulation and factor analysis. However, the putative constructs obtained through this paradigm have recently been met with substantial criticism on both theoretical and empirical grounds. Concurrently, an alternative approach has emerged focusing on parameters of formal computational models of cognition that have been developed in mathematical psychology. These models posit biologically plausible and experimentally validated explanations of the data-generating process for cognitive tasks, allowing them to be used to measure the latent mechanisms that underlie performance. One of the primary insights provided by recent applications of such models is that individual and clinical differences in performance on a wide variety of cognitive tasks, ranging from simple choice tasks to complex executive paradigms, are largely driven by efficiency of evidence accumulation (EEA), a computational mechanism defined by sequential sampling models. This review assembles evidence for the hypothesis that EEA is a central individual difference dimension that explains neurocognitive deficits in multiple clinical disorders and identifies ways in which in this insight can advance clinical neuroscience research. We propose that recognition of EEA as a major driver of neurocognitive differences will allow the field to make clearer inferences about cognitive abnormalities in psychopathology and their links to neurobiology.
Avoidance, Rationalization, and Denial: Defensive Self-Protection in the Face of Climate Change Negatively Predicts Pro-Environmental Behavior
Authors: Wullenkord Marlis C , Reese Gerhard
Published: October 2020

Despite urgent need for climate action, denial of climate change and resulting absence of appropriate pro-environmental behavior are widespread. Interpretive (recognition of climate change as a problem but re-interpretation of its severity) and implicatory denial of climate change (recognition of climate change as a problem but denial of psychological, political, and moral implications) can be interpreted as self-protective strategies people use to protect the self in the face of threat. However, research has usually considered individual self-protective strategies but has not integrated them into one comprehensive measure. The present research aimed at reviewing the existing literature and constructing the Climate Self-Protection Scale (CSPS) to assess climate-relevant defensive, self-protective strategies. In Study 1, N=354 Germans responded to a pool of items. Using exploratory main axis analysis, we identified a five-factorial structure of the measure, corresponding to the self-protective strategies rationalization, avoidance, denial of personal outcome severity, denial of global outcome severity, and denial of guilt. Study 2 (N=453 Germans) used confirmatory factor analysis to verify the five-factorial structure of the CSPS. Self-protective strategies were positively related with each other (except for avoidance and denial of guilt) and fit into a framework of interpretive (denial of global and personal outcome severity) and implicatory denial (rationalization, avoidance, denial of guilt). They related positively to male gender and right-wing political orientation, and negatively to various indicators of pro-environmentalism, even when controlling for covariates. This provides evidence of criterion and construct validity of the CSPS. In future research, the scale could be used as a tool to examine climate-relevant self-protective strategies further.
Representation of Culture in EFL Textbooks and Learners’ Preference
Authors: Alshenqeeti Hamza
Published: October 2020

This research represents the importance of culture in English as Foreign Language (EFL) Textbooks and learners' preference in the English classrooms. The study analyzes the cultural representation in three types of culture: source, target, and international of English as a foreign language (EFL) textbooks used in English classrooms at public universities in Saudi Arabia. Through the method of content analysis, it was discovered that a cultural representation balance was not maintained, indeed, as the contents were skewed toward target culture representation. Analyses of the study data, including a survey taken by EFL learners (N= 120), showed that source culture was the least interesting for these participants. The analyses also showed that skill development and target and international cultural training were prioritized by the study subjects. The findings of the current study suggest the need for thoroughness in developing rigorous frameworks for EFL textbooks' cultural integration, and for future experimental trials focusing on culture and foreign language research.
On Coherence in Quranic Discourse: A Linguistic Analysis
Authors: Alshenqeeti Hamza
Published: October 2020

The reader may assume that adjacent sentences in a given running text are coherent, logically ordered, conceptually related, semantically homogeneous, and, most importantly, enjoy continuity of the text pivotal thought. However, this may not be so since the prerequisites of coherence are varied and the criteria are language and culture specific. Cohesion plays a pivotal role in the realisation of coherence, in particular, and the texture of the text, in general. In Quranic Arabic, some of the linguistic mechanisms through which the text producer aims to attain coherence do not occur in other languages. Thus, the contribution to knowledge and originality applies to the current work. The plugging of a research gap in this field of linguistics can be demonstrated in the need to explain the prototypical discourse characteristics of Quranic Arabic. This is represented in the attainment of coherence through (i) morphological relatedness, (ii) the text producer’s selection of a grammatical category such as verb/noun/adjective that is fundamental to the central idea of the statement, (iii) the selection of a specific comparative adjective, (iv) the selection of a specific comparative God’s epithet, and (v) the selection of a specific sentence-final God’s couplet epithets. For the purpose of this paper’s analyses, a sample of Quranic lexical items has been selected from different sūrahs (chapters) and are provided with a discourse-oriented analysis with a view to their attainment of coherence.
Factors Affecting Share Price of Nepalese Non-Life Insurance Companies
Authors: Gautam Anamol , Bista Nar Bahadur
Published: October 2020

This study examines the factors affecting the share price of Nepalese non-life insurance companies. This study is based on secondary data of 15 non-life insurance companies with 105 observations for the period from the fiscal year 2011/12 to 2017/18. The result shows that firm size is positively related to market price of share and price earnings ratio. It indicates that larger firm size leads to increase in market price of share and price earnings ratio. However, the study shows that inflation is negatively related to market price of share and price earnings ratio. The study also shows that dividend per share and return on assets are negatively related to the market price of share and price earnings ratio. Similarly, earnings per share have negative relationship with market price of share and price earnings ratio. The study concludes that the increase in return on assets and earnings per shares do not explain the variation in stock price in Nepalese non-life insurance companies. Nepal is one of the emerging economy; the determinants identified will provide knowledge to the potential investors about the key factors affecting share prices in the country and accordingly assist them in optimizing their investment strategy. The knowledge of the factors and their possible impact on share prices is highly appreciable as it would help investors make wise investment decisions and enable firms to enhance their market value.

Social Health Security Program in Nepal: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Panday Ruku
Published: October 2020

The study aims to assess the opportunities and challenges of the health insurance program carried out by Health Insurance Board as a social insurance program by Government of Nepal. Data have been collected through in-depth interview with 21 persons including the social health insurance policyholders, and non-policyholders who are inhabitants of Rantanagar Municipality- 6, and Bharatapur Metropolitan City- 10 of Chitwan district. Besides, experts in insurance and senior managers of insurance companies were also interviewed. It has followed the interpretive-naturalistic approach with the method of interviewing. As per the opinion of respondents HIP is effective in cost reduction of rich, and access to health service for poor. In government hospitals policyholders suffer from prolonging waiting, lack of facilities and experts and in private hospitals there is undue expenditure and discrimination in expert service. Even though the objective of the social health program is established social justice, cash-payer and insurance-payers are discriminated; corroborating the nature of neoliberal society. There are still uninsured persons because of ignorance, lack of premium, and distrust of HI service. The study suggests that HI service should be delivered through non-profit hospitals, the highest quality without discrimination of cashpayer and insurance-payer, and prolonged waiting.

Guiding principles of good tax policy: Is there an association between the principles of the income tax of Nepal and the principles of good tax policy suggested by AICPA?
Authors: K.C. Jit Bahadur
Published: October 2020

Purpose – This article aims to examine the association between principles of income tax in Nepal and the principles of good tax policy prescribed by AICPA.

Materials and methods – This study uses both primary and secondary data. Forth primary data, the study obtained data from several individuals using the Likert type scale questionnaires. To obtain the answer upon research questions and to reach into the conclusion, the study used the Chi-square and summated rating scale.

Findings – The study found an association between the principles of income tax in Nepal and the guiding principles of the good tax policy suggested by AICPA. Only on three principles (i.e., certainty, information security and economic growth and efficiency) out of the twelve guiding principles came into the acceptance ofH0 (null hypothesis) while others came into the acceptance of H1 (alternative hypothesis). However, the study concludes that Nepal needs reform/s to its income tax principles to make them compatible with the principles of other countries.

Practical implications – Theory and practice both are complementary to each other. Every theory is worthless in the absence of practice and vice versa. The theory, which people perceive as simple, progressive, and democratic is fundamental and practical. Thus, this writing keeps crucial importance in the government revenue sector and suggests being practical after reforming the required policy.

Originality/value – This is survey research to find out the association between the principles of income taxation in Nepal and the guiding principles of good tax policy suggested by the AICPA. For which, the author prepared this product using both primary and secondary sources of data based on Kathmandu valley. Thus, this is original writing in this subject.

Published: October 2020

In Indonesia, family law is well regulated in law or government regulations. In this case, with the increasingly complex family law issues supported by divorce rates, which reached 398,245 in 2015, then in 2017, it increased to 415,898, and with the development of science and technology, so many problems arise both in terms of muamalah or family law itself. For this reason, structuring is needed through legal reform that makes it follow what is needed by the wider community. Starting from this, this paper will discuss the arrangement of Islamic family law and the dynamics of family law reform in Indonesia. This study aims to provide an overview of the arrangement of Islamic families and Islamic family law reform in Indonesia. This paper uses qualitative research methods that are library researching. The data in this article was obtained from books, journals, articles, magazines related to the structure and dynamics of family law reforms in Indonesia. After the data is collected, the writer analyzes with data analysis techniques, namely data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results of the study show that the structure and dynamics of family law in Indonesia, when viewed in the context of Islamic law reform, reveal a unique and problematic portrait of reform. It is said so because Indonesia applies three legal systems, namely customary law, Islamic law, and Western law.

WATER EROSION AND STRUGGLE MEASURES AGAINST IT
Authors: Akbarova Ulkar Zakir
Published: October 2020

The factors causing water erosion have been investigated, an influence of erosion on soil fertility, agrophysical and agrochemical features, complications and economic losses, and also measures against erosion have been offered in this article.
It was known that the last results of the erosion process was vividly shown in plants productivity. So, in areas where erosion is developing the plants productivity is 2-5 times lower in comparison with the areas where erosion isnꞌt observed and areas which are cultivated with the high agrotechnical rules. Thus, the agriculture suffers damage.
During the research the raindrops and irrigation erosion were widely investigated. It was determined that as a result of the raindrops erosion the soil structure is obliterated, porosity decreases, penetration of water and air into the soil becomes difficult.
To prevent from raindrops erosion it is recommended to determine rainfall quantity and intensity on seasons and to provide coverage of soil with the plant. It was determined that the zone slope, granulometric and structural composition, coverage percentage, not following the irrigation norms and rules caused formation and development of irrigation erosion.
The research results show that while an amount of the muddy flow is 51,40 g/l in one liter of the flood water, this quantity is 43,50 g/l in the area, where the water consumption is 2,5 l/sec., it is 30,10 g/sec. in 2 l/sec. of water consumption.

Published: October 2020

Objectif : Le chatbot est un logiciel qui utilise l’apprentissage statistique et a pour objectif de simuler une conversation par message textuel ou vocal. Le chatbot Vik a été développé dans le but d’améliorer la qualité de vie des patients atteints d’un cancer ou d’une maladie chronique. L’objectif de cette étude pilote est de mesurer l’humeur de patients atteints d’un cancer du sein, avant et après accompagnement par le chatbot Vik.

Matériel et méthodes : Les patients ont été recrutés lors de la première utilisation de Vik. Ils ont été triés en fonction des critères d’inclusion (âge > 18 ans, atteints d’un cancer du sein et en cours de traitement, non-opposition, connaissance d’Internet). Ils ne devaient pas être suivis pour des troubles dépressifs ou en cours d’une psychothérapie. Le questionnaire PHQ-9 a été utilisé pour l’évaluation des symptômes de dépression. Seuls les patients ayant un score supérieur à 5 étaient inclus dans l’étude (j0). Le PHQ-9 était ensuite reproposé à j+15 puis à j+30.

Résultats : Les utilisateurs recrutés (n = 74) avaient entre 26 et 78 ans. La moyenne d’âge était de 50 ans. Le taux de satisfaction globale était de 94 %. Le score moyen obtenu au PHQ-9 avant utilisation du chatbot (j0) était de 9,73 (ET : 2,02). À l’issue des 30 jours de l’expérimentation, il était de 5,00 (ET : 2,82). L’évolution de l’humeur au cours du temps était croissante à mesure que les participants discutaient avec le chatbot. Conclusion : Cette étude apporte des éléments prometteurs sur la possibilité d’un assistant virtuel conçu pour soutenir les patients d’offrir une méthode attrayante de suivi et de complémentarité aux méthodes traditionnelles de thérapie.

Published: October 2020

Die institutionelle Betreuung von Kleinkindern in der Geschichte der Welt, Lateinamerikas und Brasiliens präsentierte mehrere Vorstellungen über ihre Funktion. Die meisten dieser Einrichtungen waren nur für arme Kinder gedacht. Es ist jedoch erst vor kurzem die Einführung einer nationalen Politik für die frühe Kindheit als pädagogische, soziale Investition in die Gesundheit von Müttern und Kindern, in Wirtschaft und Bildung, die Kinder als Subjekte der Rechte und Bürger im Entwicklungsprozess betrachtet. So beabsichtigt dieser Artikel, den Weg der neuen Gesetzgebung über die frühe Kindheit zu rekonstruieren, die Manager und Fachleute aus Bildung, Sozialhilfe, Gesundheit, Psychologie, Psychiatrie im ganzen Land verpflichtet, ihre Aktivitäten an die gesetzlich festgelegten Normen anzupassen. Allerdings stützte sich diese Studie auf wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse; in Brasilien wurden in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten pädagogische und rechtliche Argumente verbreitet, insbesondere seit der Bürgerverfassung von 1988, die die Entwicklung der frühkindlichen Gesetzgebung förderte. In dem festgestellt werden konnte, dass erst 2006 mit der Gründung von FUNDEB Mittel für die frühkindliche Bildung eingerichtet wurden; 2016 wurde der Rechtsrahmen für die frühe Kindheit sanktioniert. Und im Jahr 2020 wurde zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte die Kindheit erwähnt und in die Anhänge von dreizehn Gesetzen der Mehrjahrespläne brasilianischer Föderaleinheiten aufgenommen, die von 2021 bis 2023 in Kraft treten sollen.

The technique of calculating the profile of a mirror reflector for discharge lamps of cylindrical shape and its testing on the example of design of an industrial lamp type ZhSP-250
Authors: Lobanov Ye. , Petchenko G.
Published: October 2020

Current scientific trends are developments - methodological, theoretical and experimental, related to increasing the efficiency of some categories of lamps with discharge lamps. One such category is the powerful industrial spotlight class luminaires. This work is aimed at solving the urgent scientific task of finding ways to improve the design efficiency of industrial luminaires with deep and concentrated light distribution. At present, there are practically no works related to the task of calculating the geometry of the profiles of mirrored round-symmetric reflectors, which, in the presence of a light source of a fixed type and power, would provide the necessary light distribution of the luminaires. The elemental reflection method described in classical works does not determine the geometry of the reflector correctly, which provides the necessary balance in the equation that relates the light power of the lamp to the light power of the source and the reflector. The considerable time of calculation by the classical method and obtaining inaccurate decisions leads to rethinking the solution of the problem of calculating the geometry of the the reflector profile of the lamp with rigidly regulated light distribution. This task was first formulated by us in previous works. The purpose of this work is to approve the technique of solving the inverse problem of determining the geometry of a round-symmetric mirror reflector on the example of an industrial lamp type ZhKU-250 with light distribution type G-2. As the output of the calculation we used the light source and technical characteristics of the light source - DNAT-250 lamps, the required light distribution of the light fixture, the reflectance of the reflector, and the requirements for the efficiency of the designed luminaire and its gain. As a result of the performed work, it is possible to note the efficiency of the method both in terms of the accuracy of the calculations and the simple geometry of the reflector, obtained in the calculation method, which will allow to use simplified technological schemes for the serial production of such lamps. Keywords - industrial luminaires, DNaT discharge lamps, reflector LPC (Light Power Curve) required, zone LPCs of the reflector, radius vector array, luminaire gain and efficiency, elemental reflection method, reflector profile, rotary extrusion method.
