ABSTRAK

Pengolahan sampah/limbah khususnya limbah rumah tangga saat ini sudah menjadi program utama pemerintah untuk mengurangi pencemaran lingkungan. Pada kegiatan ini, limbah akan diolah menjadi pupuk kompos dan briket yang bisa digunakan ibu-ibu untuk mengantisipasi kekurangan gas elpiji. Karena selain penumpukan limbah pada hampir setiap rumah, pendistribusian Gas Elpiji juga menjadi satu persoalan yang dihadapi masyarakat. Akhir-akhir ini pendistribusian gas Elpiji sudah mulai dibatasi sehingga ibu-ibu rumah tangga mengalami kesulitan untuk mendapatkannya.

Wilayah yang menjadi sasaran pada pelaksanaan kegiatan ini Kelompok ibu-ibu rumah tangga masyarakat Desa Buntulia Barat Kecamatan Duhiadaa. Hasil diskusi dengan beberapa masyarakat Desa Buntulia Barat Kecamatan Duhiadaa bahwa, salah satu yang menjadi persoalan utama pada masyarakat yakni adanya penumpukan sampah. Sampah menumpuk diakibatkan masih tercampurnya antara sampah basah dengan sampah kering. Sehingga sampah yang sudah kering menjadi lembab/basah dan tidak bisa dibakar. Hasil dari pelaksanaan PKM adalah sebagai berikut : (1) Jumlah peserta mencapai 20 orang yang terdiri dari ibu-ibu rumah tangga dan beberapa orang aparat desa; (2) Peserta PKM yang terdiri dari ibu-ibu rumah tangga memberikan respon yang sangat baik dan mereka sangat tertarik dengan materi yang disampaikan. Karena limbah seperti limbah dapur/ sisa makanan dan daun-daun gugur yang ada dipekarangan rumah yang tadinya hanya dibuang/dibakar, ternyata bisa bermanfaat; (3) Pembuatan briket sangat menarik bagi peserta karena cara pembuatan yang sangat mudah dengan bahan dan alat yang mudah didapatkan serta mampu mengatasi masalah kekurangan gas elpiji.

Pada hakikatnya, zakat harus dibagikan pada delapan golongan yang sudah ditetapkan, yaitu : fakir, miskin, amil, ghorim, hamba sahaya, ibnu sabil, fisabilillah dan mualaf. LAZ sidogiri merupakan Lembaga Amil Zakat yang berada pada Desa Sidogiri yang memiliki harapan yaitu merubah penerima zakat (mustahik) menjadi pemberi zakat (Muzakki) dengan memberikan bantuan masyarakat dalam bentuk modal untuk berwirausaha. Pemberian bantuan oleh LAZ sidogiri sudah beberapa periode telah terlaksana. Akan tetapi, bantuan yang sudah dilakukan masih jauh dari harapan dikarenakan banyaknya penerima bantuan yang masih buta akan pengetahuan jenis-jenis usaha. Kekayaan pengetahuan tentang jenis-jenis usaha dinilai menjadi factor utama, dengan memiliki ilmu tersebut penerima dapat mengantisipasi kesalahan dalam menentukan jenis usaha seperti kurang tepatnya usaha terhadap lokasi, ketatnya persaingan dengan pelaku usaha yang sama dan persaingan harga yang kurang sehat. Metode Analytic hierrarchy process merupakan metode yang sangat populer dalam membuat keputusan dengan memberikan nilai prioritas disetiap variable. Dengan begitu, sistem pendukung keputusan menggunakan metode AHP dapat membantu para penerima bantuan agar dapat memenuhi harapan yang telah diberikan oleh LAZ Sidogiri.

Authors: Marzuki Imam , Prihatiningsih Tri
Published: February 2021

Tahu merupakan makanan tradisional Indonesia yang sampai saat ini masih sangat digemari masyarakat. Proses produksi tahu relatif mudah dan sederhana. Selain menghasilkan tahu, industri tahu juga menghasilkan limbah. Salah satu limbah yaitu limbah cair tahu. CV. Proma Tun Sarroyan Probolinggo memiliki alat untuk pengolahan air limbah yang disebut IPAL (Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah). IPAL tersebut mengubah limbah cair tahu menjadi biogas yang biasa digunakan ibu-ibu rumah tangga untuk memasak. Keberadaan biogas hasil pengolahan limbah cair tahu tentunya menghasilkan nilai tambah bagi CV. Proma Tun Sarroyyan. Biogas tersebut telah banyak diminati oleh masyarakat di sekitarnya. Hal ini dikarenakan biogas tersebut lebih ramah lingkungan dan harganya lebih murah dibandingkan dengan biogas lainnya ataupun gas LPG. Namun, belum ada kajian secara ekonomi mengenai kelayakan biogas tersebut. Oleh karena itu penulis melakukan sebuah prediksi mengenai kelayakan ekonomi biogas. Data yang diperlukan yaitu data modal, pendapatan, permintaan, harga dan harga selama 10 tahun sejak CV. Proma Tun Sarroyyan memiliki IPAL. Kemudian data tersebut diklasifikasikan. Teknik klasifikasi menggunakan metode salah satu dari algoritma data mining yaitu algoritma C4.5. Hasil dari proses klasifikasi adalah terbentuknya Decision Tree (Pohon Keputusan). Pohon keputusan tersebut dapat digunakan sebagai acuan dalam memprediksi kelayakan ekonomi biogas di masa-masa yang akan datang.

Provinsi Gorontalo merupakan salah satu provinsi di Indonesia yang mempunyai beragam barang khas baik itu dari segi Fashion, Kuliner, Mainan hingga pernak-pernik. Salah satu toko barang khas Gorontalo pengolahan data dan informasinya masih tergolong belum efisien. Hal ini di sebabkan karena sistemnya yang masih manual dan promosi produknya yang  masih kurang dimana toko hanya melakukan promosi melalui media sosial dan karyawan mereka. Pihak toko lebih memilih menggunakan media sosial di bandingkan menggunakan aplikasi penjualan, hal ini di sebabkan karena kurangnya pemahaman beberapa orang terhadap aplikasi penjualan. Untuk itu perlu dirancang sebuah aplikasi jual beli barang-barang khas Gorontalo, untuk mempermudah proses transaksi jual beli dan secara tidak langsung aplikasi ini mengenalkan produk-produk khas yang di hasilkan daerah Gorontalo ke masyarakat luas.
NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKING TEACHERS (NESTs) AND INDONESIAN ENGLISH TEACHERS (IETs) EFL STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION AND PREFERENCES
Authors: Pariyanto Pariyanto
Published: February 2021

This paper explores the roles of Non-Native English Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesia. As many English language learners idolize Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) to be a good teacher of English that leads students to the success with their learning, some research show that the success in language teaching and learning is not merely determined by the fluency which native speakers possess. There are a number of factors that should be taken into account to make language teaching and learning successful such as the nature of learners, social context, and cultural background of the learners. These features are, for the most part, owned by NNESTs and thus they potentially make more successful English language teaching and learning than NESTs.

AbstractChildren are the most valuable treasure, for the family, society and nation. The constitution expressly states in Article 28B paragraph 2 which states that every child has the right to justice and legal protection in their development which is free from violence and discrimination. The explanation of this article is a basic human right that must be fulfilled. At this stage of searching for identity it is influenced by their mentality, so that children sometimes still do not understand whether the action is good or not. Sometimes children are easily affected by situations and conditions around them, especially if the environment is very bad for them. If the child is comfortable, there will be a concern if the child violates the law. Children who are already criminal offenders need a criminal justice system strategy that is to try to minimize intervention in the juvenile criminal justice system.

Authors: Sandal K. , Yetimoglu I. , Sargin M. A. , Tug N.
Published: February 2021

Hemoperitoneum is a common cause of emergency surgery. Common gynecologic causes of hemoperitoneum include ruptured ectopic pregnancies, bleeding ovarian cysts, and very rarely, bleeding from uterine masses secondary to infarction and ulceration or ruptured superficial veins, secondary to increased intra-abdominal pressure. However, spontaneous bleeding of a uterine mass without any history of trauma, increased abdominal pressure, recent pregnancy, or menstruation is very rare. Herein the authors report two cases of acute abdomen secondary to spontaneous bleeding of a ruptured uterine smooth muscle tumor of unknown malignancy potential and endometrial stromal sarcoma. In the differential diagnosis of hemoperitoneum, uterine tumors should be considered as a potential site of the bleeding.

Published: February 2021

Introduction: Struma ovarii is rare ovarian tumor. Almost 95% of it is indicated as the benign tumor. Therefore, it is important to be diagnosed preoperatively. A case that is diagnosed successfully as a struma ovarii preoperatively, is presented. Case Report: A 36-year-old Japanese woman G1P1, with no family history nor past history, was referred to this hospital for the treatment of an ovarian tumor, because followed up ovarian tumor gradually became enlarged. Regarding the patient’s laboratory data, no tumor marker was elevated. Thyroid function was within normal range. Ultrasound study demonstrated that the tumor was a multilocular mass with solid part. Pelvic MRI indicated stained glass appearance. Although there was a possibility of mucinous malignant tumor as a differential diagnosis, the authors mainly diagnosed it preoperatively as a struma ovarii. Laparoscopic right ovarian tumorectomy was performed and the histological examination revealed as a struma ovarii without malignancy. Conclusions: When the ovarian tumor presents a stainedglass appearance, it is important to diagnose carfeully keeping struma ovarii in mind as a differntial diagnosis.
Severe pelvic actinomycosis with intrauterine device in situ and abdominal wall involvement treated with medication only: case report
Authors: Wang H. J. , Wu Y. H. , Huang P. S.
Published: February 2021

Pelvic actinomycosis is a rare, granulomatous disease, caused by the gram-positive anaerobic bacteria, Actinomyces. It is usually associated with recent abdominopelvic surgery or intrauterine contraceptive device placement. The diagnosis is difficult because of the similarity with malignancy, inflammatory bowel disease, and tuberculosis. Although intrauterine device related actinomycosis is considered a well-documented diagnosis, there are intermittent case reports of unusual presentations. Appropriate image survey can aid clinicians in its diagnosis and treatment of pelvic actinomycosis and further prevent unnecessary invasive intervention. Here the authors present a case of suspected pelvic actinomycosis with abdominal wall involvement supported with images and describe the clinical manifestations. The disease with abdominal wall involvement and treated with empirical antibiotics administration only has yet to be reported.

Published: February 2021

The etiology of lichen sclerosus is not fully known, due to its chronic and progressive nature. The predisposing factor is physiological hypoestrogenism, hence the condition concerns girls during their developmental phase considered as estrogen silent (even as early as at the age of 6 months). The paper presents a 5-year-old patient coming from a rural area and suffering from lichen sclerosus together with partial labial fusion (adhesion) and inflammatory infection of the vulva, vagina and anal area. These symptoms intensified after antibiotic therapy the girl had undergone due to a respiratory tract infection. There were changes in the skin of the labia majora and buttocks indicating lichen sclerosus - swelling, traces of scratches, secondary redness, partial fusion of the labia minora on the side of the crotch known as the fourchette, and a runny yellow-white discharge from the vagina.

Published: February 2021

Purpose of Investigation: This study aimed to compare pregnancy outcomes based on parity in women older than 40 years. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included women older than 40 years with singleton pregnancy, who delivered after 24 weeks of gestation. They were divided into two groups on the basis of parity, and maternal and perinatal outcomes were compared. Results: This study included 432 women, with primiparous women (n=111) comprising a quarter among them. The mean parity of multiparous women was 1.8, and the mean interval from the previous pregnancy was 9.5 years. On analyzing multivariable logistic regression-adjusted confounding factors, small for gestational age (SGA) neonates (OR, 2.525; 95% CI, 11.407-4.529) were associated with primiparous women. The occurrence of preterm birth before 37 weeks of gestation (OR, 1.783; 95% confidence CI, 1.080-2.942) was increased in multiparous women. Conclusion: There are different pregnancy outcomes between primiparous and multiparous women. Preterm birth is more frequent in multiparous women, with an extremely long interval to subsequent pregnancy. The incidence of SGA newborns was higher among primiparous women.

Published: February 2021

Objective: To analyze the indications and results of prenatal cytogenetic screening in patients from a specialized center in Xiamen City, China, to provide a reference database for prenatal diagnosis. Materials and Methods: This retrospective, observational study included 7,400 pregnant women who underwent chorionic villous sampling (CVS), amniocentesis or cordocentesis at the Women and Children's Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, China, over a 10-year period (2008-2018). Clinical data and the results of the cytogenetic analysis were assessed. Results: Fetal chromosomal aberrations were observed in 335 of 7, 400 (4.5%) cases, with trisomy 21 the most common aberration (87/335, 26%). A high risk on maternal serum screening was the indication for cytogenetic analysis in 36 of the 87 fetuses with trisomy 21 (41.4%). Abnormal fetal ultrasonographic findings were the clinical indication for cytogenetic testing in more than half of fetuses with abnormal karyotypes (181/335, 54%). Conclusions: Prenatal cytogenetic analysis is useful for the prenatal diagnosis of birth defects in Xiamen City, and may prevent termination of potentially healthy fetuses.
The Uppsala anatomist Ivar Sandström and the parathyroid gland
Authors: Johansson Henry
Published: February 2021

The discovery of the parathyroid gland by the Uppsala anatomist Ivar Sandström (Figure 1) is often called the last anatomical discovery. That remarkable discovery was made in 1877 at the Anatomical Department in Uppsala. At that time Sandström was a young medical student, who had worked as an assistant at the department since 1873. His discovery was published in Upsala Läkareförenings Förhandlingar, in 1880 (1). His publication was in Swedish, and the paper was entitled ‘On a New Gland in Man and Several Animals’. The article comprised 30 pages, and in the introduction Sandström writes:

Almost three years ago I found on the thyroid gland of a dog a small organ, hardly as big as a hemp seed, which was enclosed in the same connective tissue as the thyroid, but could be distinguished therefrom by the light colour
Johan Anton Waldenström, a versatile doctor and pioneer: Professor of medicine and practising surgeon
Authors: Waldenström Anders
Published: February 2021

Johan Anton Waldenström was born in 1839. His father was Erik Magnus Waldenström, a district medical officer in Luleå whose district encompassed the entire upper Norrland. Erik Magnus was the first doctor in his family. He studied in Lund where he also obtained his Doctorate of Medicine (MD). Immediately afterwards, in 1819, he moved to Luleå, where he remained until his death. He is described as a forceful man, as a doctor, as a local politician, and as the head of his family. One might question a doctor being called forceful, but it was not uncommon for him to undertake taxing home visits by sledge and could well be away from home for several weeks at a time. One such journey was estimated at between 300 and 400 kilometres! This man was remarkable for his striving to provide his sons with an academic education. He fathered 15 children, all of whom but one reached adulthood. He paid for the academic education of all his 10 sons, which was considered a great achievement for a district medical officer whose salary was so small it was necessary to supplement it with a family-run farm.

BackgroundThe SARS-CoV-2, the novel virus which causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has changed the world. No aspect of humanity is untouched from health, aviation, service industry, politics, economy, education, and entertainment to social and personal lives, since the outbreak of influenza-like illness in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The Lagos State COVID-19 response team deployed enhanced surveillance through Active Case Search (ACS) for Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) at health facilities and communities in the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Lagos State. Lagos State was the first state in Nigeria to deploy this specific surveillance strategy for Nigeria’s COVID-19 response. MethodsWe utilized descriptive and quantitative approaches to describe and assess the impact of the Active Case Search (ACS) for Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) in health facilities and communities in 20 LGAs of Lagos State between 1st April and 15th May 2020.ResultsWe found a significant difference in mean scores of suspected COVID-19 cases (M=60, SD=109, before ACS for ARI compared to M=568, SD=732, after ACS for ARI, P=0.0039), confirmed cases (M=10, SD=19, before ACS for ARI compared to M=144, SD=187, after ACS for ARI, P=0.0028) and contacts (M=56, SD=116, before ACS for ARI compared to M=152, SD=177, after ACS for ARI, P=0.044) before and after ACS for ARI in 20 LGAs of Lagos State, between 1st April and 15th May 2020.ConclusionThe deployment of the Lagos State government’s polio-eradication structure for the COVID-19 response is both innovative and effective. The response to COVID-19 requires robust surveillance, credible and timely communication, collaboration, coordination among government, inter-governmental organizations (e.g., WHO), non-governmental organizations, and citizens to succeed and limit the medical, economic, social, and personal losses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology consortium aims to develop a comprehensive self-report measure to assess psychopathology dimensionally. The current research describes the initial conceptualization, development, and item selection for the thought disorder spectrum and related constructs from other spectra. The thought disorder spectrum is defined primarily by the positive and disorganized traits and symptoms of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. The Thought Disorder Sub-Workgroup identified and defined 16 relevant constructs and wrote 10-15 items per each construct. These items were administered, along with detachment and mania items, to undergraduates and people with serious mental illness. Three hundred sixty-five items across 25 scales were administered. An exploratory factor analysis of the scale scores suggested a two-factor structure corresponding to positive and negative symptoms for both samples. The mania scales loaded with the positive factor, while the detachment scales loaded with the negative factor. Item-level analyses resulted in 19 preliminary scales, including 224 items that cover the range of thought disorder pathology, and will be carried forward for the next phase of data collection/analysis.
Racism, equity and inclusion in research funding
Authors: Li Ying Lia , Bretscher Hope , Oliver Rachel , Ochu Erinma
Published: February 2021

Government funded research grants from United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) are the lifeblood of our research ecosystem in science, engineering, technology, mathematics and medicine (STEMM). These grants pay the salaries of researchers, support staff and technicians, allow academics to buy consumables and equipment, and cement partnerships, including access to world class facilities. This pre-determines what knowledge is produced. Winning grants is vital to career progression from being a PhD student to developing independence as an early career researcher to running your own lab and hiring a research team. Whilst this article recognises the systemic barriers in progression in higher education and STEMM careers that privilege ‘white’ people, we focus on evidence within the grant funding system to consider discrepancies in who is given the opportunity to do research and why this matters.

Effect of N2 and CO2 on shale oil from pyrolysis of Estonian oil shale
Authors: Mozaffari Sepehr , Baird Zachariah , Järvik Oliver
Published: February 2021

A kukersite oil shale sample from Estonia was pyrolyzed using a Fischer assay method under N2, N2/steam, CO2 and CO2/steam environments. The thermal behavior of the oil shale sample was also studied using TGA and DSC with similar conditions. Also, several properties of produced oils were measured and FTIR analysis was carried out to compare the molecular structure of the derived oils. The presence of steam increased the liquid and gaseous yields, and also caused a greater weight loss in the oil shale. The pyrolysis tests in both the CO2 and N2 atmospheres produced oils with relatively similar properties however, the molecular structure was different.

Al-Qur’an adalah wahyu ilahi(kitab suci)yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad Saw.Sebagai pedoman hidup bagi umat manusia.Untuk memahami Al-Qur’an diperlukan berbagai ilmu,antara lain adalah “Ulum Al-Qur’an”.Ilmi ini mencakup pembahasan-pembahasan yang berhubungan dengan Al-Qur’an dari segi sebab turunnya,pengumpulan dan urutan-urutannya,pengetahuan tentang ayat-ayat makkiyah dan madaniyyah,Nasikh dan Mansukh dan lain-lain.Ulum Al-Qur’an dengan berbagai cabang dan macamnya tidak lahir sekaligus,tetapi melalui proses dan perkembangan yang dapat dibagi ke dalam fase periwayatan dan fase kodifikasi.Sampai saat ini telah lahir puluhan tokoh ini bidang Ulum Al-Qur’an,diantara mereka yang paling masyhur adalah jalaluddin Al Suyuthi yang menulis kitab Al itqan fi ‘Ulumil Qur’an dan Al-Zarqany dengan karyanya Al Burhan fi ‘Ulumil Qur’an.Kedua kitab ini selalu menjadi rujukan dalam kajian-kajian Ulumul Qur’an.
Supporting students during the transition to university in COVID-19: 5 key considerations and recommendations for educators
Authors: Pownall Madeleine , Harris Richard , Blundell-Birtill Pam
Published: February 2021

As COVID-19 continues to disrupt pre-tertiary education provision and examinations in the UK, urgent consideration must be given to how best to support the 2021-2022 cohort of incoming undergraduate students to Higher Education. In this paper, we draw upon the ‘Five Sense of Student Success’ model to highlight five key evidence-based considerations that Higher Education educators should be attentive to when preparing for the next academic year. These include: the challenge in helping students to reacclimatise to academic work following a period of prolonged educational disruption, supporting students to access the ‘hidden curriculum’ of Higher Education, negotiating mental health consequences of COVID-19, and remaining sensitive to inequalities of educational provision that students have experienced as a result of COVID-19. We provide evidence-based recommendations to each of these considerations.

Among the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most dramatic was the immediate closure of in-person schooling in March/April 2020 when parents were faced with much greater responsibility in supporting their children’s learning. Despite this, few studies have examined parents’ own perspectives of this experience. The aims of this preliminary study were to (1) identify challenges, benefits, and useful strategies related to remote learning and (2) examine differences in findings across two countries, between parents of youth with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and between parents of children and adolescents. To address these aims, parent responses to open-ended questions on the Home Adjustment to COVID-19 Scale (HACS; Becker et al., 2020) were examined across three studies conducted in the United States and Australia (N=606, children: 68.5% male, ages 6-17 years). The challenges most frequently expressed by parents included the child’s difficulty staying on task (23.8% of parents), lack of motivation (18.3%), remote learning factors (17.8%), and lack of social interaction (14.4%). The most frequently expressed strategy related to using routines and schedules (58.2%) and the biggest benefit was more family time (20.3%). Findings were largely consistent across countries, ADHD status, and age, with a few notable group differences. Given that the most common challenges involved child- (e.g., difficulties with staying on task and motivation), parent- (e.g., balancing remote learning with work responsibilities), and school- (e.g., remote instruction difficulties) related factors, there is a need for improved support across these systems going forward.
Reliability and feasibility of Linear Mixed Models in fully crossed experimental designs
Authors: Scandola Michele , Tidoni Emmanuele
Published: February 2021

The use of Linear Mixed Models (LMMs) is increasing in Psychology and Neuroscience research. A key aspect of LMMs is choosing a random effects structure according to the experimental needs. To date, opposite suggestions are present in the literature, spanning from keeping all random effects, which produces several singularity and convergence issues and often requires high computational resources, to removing random effects until the best fit is found, with the risk of inflating type I error. However, defining the random structure to fit a non-singular and convergent model is not straightforward. Moreover, the lack of a standard approach may lead the researcher to make decisions that potentially inflate type I errors and generate distortions in the estimates. To date, how to deal with singular and non-converging models is an ongoing debate.We introduce a new way to control for type I error inflation during model reduction using complex random intercepts (CRIs). These are multiple random intercepts that represent the residual variance of categorical fixed effects within a given grouping factor. We validated CRIs and the proposed procedure by extensive simulations and a real-case application. We demonstrate that CRIs can produce reliable results and require less RAM memory and computational time. Moreover, we outline a few criteria and clear recommendations on how and when scholars should reduce singular and non-converging models. Overall, the proposed procedure provides clear solutions to avoid overinflated results using LMMs in Psychology and Neuroscience.

“Linear perspective,” used to refer to converging lines in an image, is conventionally deemed a “visual depth cue.” Perceptual evidence is not consistent with this view.
The dynamics of cooperation, power, and inequality in a group-structured society

Most human societies are characterized by the presence of groups which cooperate through joint actions but also compete for resources and power. The processes of within- and between- group cooperation and competition have shaped human history over the last several millennia. To deepen our understanding of the underlying social dynamics, we model a society subdivided into groups with constant sizes and dynamically changing powers. Both individuals within groups and groups themselves participate in collective actions. The groups are also engaged in political contests over power which determines how resources are distributed. Using analytical approximations and agent-based simulations, we show that the model exhibits rich behavior characterized by multiple stable equilibria and, under some conditions, non-equilibrium dynamics. The strength of democratic institutions plays a key role: increasing it promotes cooperation, reduces variation in power, and mitigates inequality among groups. We show that increasing potential benefits of between-group cooperation promotes it only in societies with strong democratic institutions. We show that small groups are successful in competition if the jointly-produced goods are rivalrous and the potential benefit of cooperation is small. Otherwise large groups dominate. Overall our model contributes towards a better understanding of the causes of variation between societies in terms of the economic and political inequality within them.
