Task Instructions and the Need for Feedback Correction Influence the Contribution of Visual Errors to Reach Adaptation
Authors: Hoffmann Anne H. , Crevecoeur Frédéric
Published: August 2023

Previous research has questioned whether motor adaptation is shaped by an optimal combination of multisensory error signals. Here, we expanded on this work by investigating how the use of visual and somatosensory error signals during online correction influences single-trial adaptation. To this end, we exposed participants to a random sequence of force-field perturbations and recorded their corrective responses as well as the after-effects exhibited during the subsequent unperturbed movement. In addition to the force perturbation, we artificially decreased or increased visual errors by multiplying hand deviations by a gain smaller or larger than one. Corrective responses to the force perturbation clearly scaled with the size of the visual error, but this scaling did not transfer one-to-one to motor adaptation and we observed no consistent interaction between limb and visual errors on adaptation. However, reducing visual errors during perturbation led to a small reduction of after-effects and this residual influence of visual feedback was eliminated when we instructed participants to control their hidden hand instead of the visual hand cursor. Taken together, our results demonstrate that task instructions and the need to correct for errors during perturbation are important factors to consider if we want to understand how the sensorimotor system uses and combines multimodal error signals to adapt movements.

Education and Minority Groups in Afghanistan: The Case of Hazara People
Authors: Amiri Mir Hussain
Published: August 2023

Afghanistan, known for its ancient history and as a centre of knowledge in the past, has seen the rise of great civilizations such as Arya, Bakhtar, and Khorasan. Education in ancient Afghanistan was influenced by the Vedic religion and later the Avestan civilization until the arrival of Islam. Education in Afghanistan is recognized as a fundamental human right that plays a crucial role in alleviating poverty, addressing inequality, and fostering sustainable development. However, the Hazara people, an ethnic and religious minority in Afghanistan, have historically been deprived of this right due to cultural, linguistic, and religious differences with the dominant Pashtun population. Hazaras have faced discrimination, marginalization, and violent persecution throughout Afghan history. They have been systematically denied access to education, employment, and political representation. Despite some progress, the Hazara people continue to face barriers to accessing quality education. Hazara students also face discrimination and harassment from peers and teachers who hold negative stereotypes of them. Moreover, Hazaras have been subjected to targeted attacks by terrorist groups like the Taliban and ISIS, resulting in loss of life and injuries. Nevertheless, Hazaras demonstrated their goodwill. They actively participated in national processes such as elections, civil society strengthening, sports, and education, showcasing their commitment to the new system. This article contributes to the study of the history of education in Afghanistan which lacks adequate analysis of education among minorities in Afghanistan like the Hazara people.
The Threat No More? Indonesian Atheists, Pancasila, and the Search for A Common Moral Ground
Authors: M Ali
Published: August 2023

The fall of Soeharto's rule in 1998 marked the beginning of a new era in Indonesian democratization, allowing old and new voices in the public realm, including atheists who defined themselves as no less Indonesian and, more crucially, no less moral than the rest. Globalization and increasing access to information and communication technology facilitated this. This article analyses how and why Indonesian atheists have become more outspoken in recent years about their lack of religious belief and defence of their denial of the existence of any deity or gods in response to their upbringing, education, news about religious radicalism, liberalism, and scientific advancement. These atheists provide context for atheism in Indonesia. They also redefine Indonesia as a non-religious nation-state, despite the country's Muslim population and efforts and aspirations to bring it closer to an Islamic state or culture. In numerous official declarations and textbooks, Indonesia has historically been referred to as neither a theocracy nor a secular state. It is a Pancasila state. Indonesian atheists redefine the country as a whole by reinventing Pancasila and Bhineka Tunggal Ika. They are not opposed to collaboration and unity. Instead of sacred or religious principles, they emphasize humanity and morality as common values.
From a Neglected Concept to the Construction of Dynamic Connections Between Precise Definitions of the Limit Concept Using GeoGebra
Authors: Zengin Yılmaz
Published: August 2023

This study explores university students' understanding of the relationships between formal definitions of the limit of a function and the limit of a sequence in terms of the accumulation point in a technology-enhanced collaborative learning environment. The participants of this study
are 17 prospective mathematics teachers. The data are collected with scripting tasks, researcher notes related to questions and comments during the teaching experiment, and GeoGebra files. The teaching experiment — integration GeoGebra into the collaborative learning, scientific debate,
and selfreflection stages which help the participants acquire a cultural semiotic system — is here used also to analyse how this integration method can support the dynamic connections between the limit of a sequence and the limit of a function at a point. The data show that most participants
cannot understand the role of accumulation point in the construction of the connection between formal definitions of the limit of a function and the limit of a sequence. Their mathematical organization is based on the algebra of limits; however, in this teaching experiment, the use of GeoGebra's
tool (such as slider tool and dragging tool) as semiotic mediators and argumentation process in teamwork and debate stages as semiotic mediation can encourage participants to make dynamic connections among the accumulation point, the limit of a sequence, and the limit of a function at a point.

El presente artículo pretende, dar a conocer algunos factores que inciden en la calidad de la clase de Educación Física, ya que debido a los cambios que se han generado a nivel mundial, en los diferentes ámbitos social, cultural, tecnológico y sobre todo educativo, que conjuntamente con los drásticos cambios que el confinamiento por el virus COVID- 19., han provocado una reacción en el desempeño docente en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la Educación Física. el objetivo fue indagar cuál es la percepción que se tiene sobre la calidad de las clases en educación física, mediante la revisión de la literatura y conocer cuáles son esos factores que influyen en esa percepción. La investigación siguió una metodología mixta descriptiva, no experimental, con la utilización de métodos teóricos dentro de estos: el histórico-lógico, el analítico – sintético, inductivo –deductivo y la RSL (Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura); todo ello permitió realizar una indagación bibliográfica, que tuvo una duración de 3 semanas. Se logró consultar 14 fuentes en un rango comprendido 2016 y 2020, de las cuales, 5 son relevantes y fundamentales: El pensamiento complejo y los desafíos de la Educación Física, Análisis curricular, su implementación en la clase de Educación Física por los profesores de aula, Estrategias Didácticas para la efectividad de la Educación Física: un reto de tiempos de confinamiento. Cabe mencionar que en cuanto a la investigación local se encuesto a 144 docentes especialistas de Educación Física, de la ciudad de Cuenca, cuyas respuestas, abarcan algunos factores que influyen en la calidad de las clases de educación física. Se concluye que efectivamente, la literatura consultada confirma que la calidad de la clase de Educación Física, se ve afectada por la falta de capacitación permanente de profesionales del área, ya que el docente no solamente debe dominar la praxis sino también saber articular e integrar conocimientos de: Pedagogía, Psicología, Fisiología, Deportes, entre otros, con el fin de armonizar y desarrollar de manera adecuada sus clases (Rodríguez, Capote, Rendón & Valdés, 2016). Además, recalcar que la asignación de docentes de aula a impartir las clases, contribuye a una mala calidad de las clases de Educación Física. y que, con los profesores especialistas del contexto local, en la encuesta realizada demuestra una muy buena percepción del currículo para aplicarlo y mejorar sus clases.
APRENDIZAJE DE HABILIDADES DEPORTIVAS EN LA EDUCACIÓN FÍSICA. UNA VISIÓN DESDE LO METACOGNITIVO
Authors: FERNANDEZ BLANCO GRISEL , GARCIA GOMEZ FELIX BAUTISTA
Published: August 2023

La idea fundamental que se expresa en el presente artículo es que el aprendizaje de habilidades deportivas también requiere de una actitud reflexiva de planificación y monitoreo de las acciones. Los recursos metacognitivos deben emerger como mecanismos de detección de errores y revisión de la estrategia de las habilidades deportivas, realizando compensaciones que se manifiesten en el análisis de la ejecución y el control valorativo. Un punto de partida importante lo constituye precisamente el establecimiento de acciones que propicien la regulación metacognitiva en el aprendizaje de este tipo de habilidades y que tenga como centro los recursos metacognitivos asociados al mismo. A partir del empleo de diferentes métodos y técnicas se logró el diagnóstico en adolescentes aprendices de la Educación Física de las habilidades deportivas asociadas al voleibol, así como de los recursos metacognitivos puestos en función de las mismas y se elaboró una propuesta de acciones concretas para su desarrollo desde una visión metacognitiva.

Published: August 2023

RESUMO Neste artigo é apresentada uma análise discursiva das Portarias 3.046/82 e 1.101/02 do Ministério da Saúde. O discurso da racionalização de custos e seus efeitos — a ênfase nos princípios da descentralização, focalização e privatização que orienta o modo neoliberal de organização dos sistemas de saúde e o uso eficiente dos recursos financeiros — foram os achados. Além destes, encontrou-se também que a principal condição para a produção/reprodução deste discurso é dado pela política econômica de ajuste fiscal. Por fim, foi identificada uma tensão: a racionalização de custos guarda relação direta com os modelos residual e meritocrático de proteção social, e os mesmos documentos veiculam o discurso de saúde que se relaciona com o modelo institucional-redistributivo de políticas sociais.

Published: August 2023

RESUMO Nas últimas décadas, os índices de acidentalidade no trânsito brasileiro figuram como um problema de saúde pública. Somente no ano de 2009 foram 37.594 mortos, e o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas aparece como uma das principais causas dessas estatísticas. Apesar de a lei brasileira ter sofrido alterações tornando as punições para a embriaguez ao volante ainda mais severas, os índices de morbimortalidade parecem não sofrer alterações. Para que politicas públicas eficientes possam ser criadas, é necessário entender como o comportamento humano, em especial a percepção dos riscos, influencia o crescimento das estatísticas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi discutir aspectos teóricos da percepção e comportamento de risco no trânsito, bem como os principais achados de pesquisa na área.

Physical Activity Increases Immunity to COVID-19 Infection
Authors: Dudhat Kiran
Published: August 2023

Coronavirus are truly one of the maximum critical fantastic-stranded non-segmented RNA viruses, named after the approximately 126-nm-diameter envelope around the nucleic acid-protein complicated. The virus causes significant harm to human fitness, including direct injury to the respiratory system, immune system compromise, worsening of the underlying clinical conditions, and eventually systemic failure and death. Exercise affects the immune system's antiviral mechanisms. Modest exercise, done before or after infection, improves morbidity and mortality to the contamination, according to animal investigations using influenza and simplex virus in the respiratory tract. Moreover, preclinical research has demonstrated that overtraining has a negative impact on the body's response to viral infections. Follow-up research has shed some light on the mechanisms underlying these discoveries. Through the activation of muscle protein synthesis, physical activity (PA) and exercise are essential for maintaining muscle mass. On the other hand, a lack of muscle contractile activity throughout the country of no exercise, particularly in elderly people, is a major contributor to anabolic rigidity and muscle atrophy.
Dietary intervention in enhancing immunity of cancer patients
Authors: Rui Han , Yuqian Wang
Published: August 2023

The compromised function and environment of the immune system in individuals with cancer create a scenario in which the immune system fails to effectively identify and eliminate cancer cells. As a result, tumors can thrive and avoid detection by the immune system, leading to the progression of the disease. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of these immune-related challenges is essential for the development of effective cancer treatments, including immunotherapies, which aim to enhance the immune response against cancer. In addition to conventional treatments, dietary interventions have shown potential in supporting cancer patients by improving their immune function through nutritional support, influencing the gut microbiome, boosting the immune system, and other means. It is crucial to note that these dietary interventions should be tailored to each individual cancer patient, considering their specific requirements, preferences, and tolerances. This review seeks to underscore the significance of implementing well-adapted and appropriate dietary approaches to enhance the anticancer immunity of cancer patients.
Turkish adaptation of Social Coping Questionnaire for gifted students
Authors: KÖKSAL KONİK Ayça
Published: August 2023

The objective of this research is to conclude the Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability analysis of Swiatek's Social Coping Questionnaire (SCQ), which was first published in 1995. (However, the most recent 2001 version of the questionnaire is employed in this study.) A total of 266 gifted students (130 females and 136 males) participated in the study. The participants' ages ranged from 11 to 15. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the Turkish version of the scale retained the five-factor structure of the original scale. SCQ consists of 25 items in total and examines coping techniques using 5 subscales. Furthermore, the SCQ is a self-report, seven-point likert type questionnaire that assesses five coping styles: denying giftedness (7 item), social engagement (6 item), humor (3 item), and popularity (5 item). The factor loadings of the items are ranged from .79 to .40. The range of all item-total correlation coefficients was between .44 and .77. Cronbach Alpha Coefficients were determined as .77 for denying giftedness, .60 for social interaction, .60 for humor, .57 for popularity, and .48 for peer acceptance. Test re-test coefficients were as follows; .62 denying giftedness, .48 social interaction, .50 humor, .45 popularity, and .39 peer acceptance scale. The UCLA Loneliness Scale was administered to another gifted students sample to test the convergent validity of the instrument (n=102), as expected peer acceptance and humor subscale correlates negatively ( -.43) and denying giftedness subscale correlates positively (.27) with UCLA scores. The model fit was evaluated via confirmatory factor analysis using the structural equation modeling program. The analysis were performed on the 25 social coping items and resulting fit indices clearly revealed that the five-factor model of social coping provided a good fit to the data (x2 =437.08, df=262, (x2/df=1.66)), RMSEA=0.050, GFI= 0.88, CFI=0.85, NNFI=0.83, SRMR=0.072).

The Relationship Between Economic, Social, and Political Globalization and Economic Performance In Turkic States
Authors: ŞİMŞEK Türker
Published: August 2023

This article examines the relationship between economic, social and political globalization indices, which are the sub-dimensions of KOF globalization index, and economic performances in Turkish States for the period 1991-2019. As a result of the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares Mean Group (DOLSMG-Demean) method applied in the analysis, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between economic performance and economic globalization in Turkic States; A negative and statistically significant relationship is found between economic performance and social globalization. In addition, although political globalization has a positive effect on economic growth, it is not statistically significant. For this reason, governments should reduce foreign trade barriers, increase foreign trade volume, encourage international trade and benefit more from economic globalization by improving their tax policies. In addition, policies that reduce the negative effects of social globalization on economic growth should be adopted.

Aizanoi, one of the important cities of Phrygia, had experienced a transformation by 3rd Century Crisis which was felt throughout Roman Empire. Local elites lost their economic privileges because the transferring Temple Lands income to the imperial treasury now, and their political dominance for the increasing pressure of central bureaucracy upon the provinces, so they withdrew from the urban life. Aizanoi lost its autonomy, and its council became dysfunctional. The public buildings, which are the symbols of the Greco-Roman urban tradition, were either abandoned or lost their functions. In this process, the use of classical necropoleis ended and cemeteries around new churches appeared. The burial customs changed, and tombstones were not produced anymore. Use of writing had also dramatically decreased. Finally, Aizanoi transformed to a medieval settlement at the end of Late Antiquity. It was also disintegration of classical urban culture and the ideal of Polis.
The Impact of the Demographic Transition on the Total Factor Productivity in Türkiye
Authors: COSKUN Sevgi
Published: August 2023

The demographic transition would affect almost every aspect of life and our surroundings and could lead to significant changes and consequences in the social and economic sub-systems. In addition, it is a vital factor in economics. Therefore, a deep understanding of demographic transitions, characteristics, and dimensions would be helpful due to better managing the consequences and preparing for the future. The aim of this paper is to explore the impact of Türkiye's demographic transition on total factor productivity (TFP) from 1970 to 2021 using a Probit model. The results indicate that factors such as dependency ratio, elderly population ratio, youth population ratio, deaths per 1000 people, life expectancy, population density, gross capital formation per capita, and manufacturing production can increase the likelihood of TFP growth. However, factors such as capital stock, urban population, and births per 1000 people are shown to potentially reduce this likelihood.

Published: August 2023

Ford model arabaların ilk üretiminden bu yana bir çok üretim modeliyle üretimler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Geleneksel montaj üretimi yapan her fabrika hareketli üretim bantları üzerine sistemi kurarak çıktının maksimum, maliyetlerin minimum olmasını ve çalışanların en verimli şekilde işletilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Seru üretim sistemi de 90’lı yıllarda en yeni üretim sistemlerinden biri olarak Japonya’da ortaya çıkmıştır. Canon ve Sony gibi dev Japon şirketleri Seru üretim sistemini ürün farklılaştırma ve markete daha çok yön verme hedefiyle uygulamışlardır. Seru üretim temelinde özellikle Türkçe literatürde yapılan çalışmalar oldukça az sayıdadır. Bu çalışmada seru sistemini geleneksel bir montaj hattı üzerine uyarlayıp kaynak kullanım oranlarının ve çıktı sayısının maksimize edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çikolata üretimi yapan bir fabrika üzerinde Arena yazılımı kullanarak Simülasyon tekniği kullanılmış ve alternatif hat-seru montaj senaryoları ortaya konmuştur.

Cari işlemler açığını iyileştirmek amacıyla politika yapıcılar döviz kuru politikasına sık sık başvurmaktadır. Bu yüzden döviz kuru oranının ihracata etkisi literatürde yoğun bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışma, altı basamaklı HS sınıflamasına ait veriler kullanılarak, reel döviz kurunun ihracat çıktıları esnekliklerinin Türkiye ve seçili ülkeler için hesaplanmasını amaçlamaktadır. Sonuçlarımız döviz kurunun fiyat esnekliğinin düşük ancak miktar esnekliğinin oldukça yüksek olduğunu seçili ülkeler için göstermiştir. Bu durum döviz kurunun ihracatı miktarlar yoluyla etkilediğine işaret etmektedir. Diğer yandan, bu sonuçlar alt sektörler ve destinasyon ülke gruplarına göre farklılıklar göstermektedir. Bulgularımız, beklenmeyen sonuçlardan kaçınmak için döviz kuru politikasının dikkatli bir şekilde tasarlanması gerektiğini ima etmektedir.
The Mediating Role of Emotion Dysregulation Between Adolescent-Parent Relationship and Happiness
Authors: HASPOLAT Namık Kemal
Published: August 2023

The specific objective of this study was to examine the relationships between adolescent-parent relationship, emotion dysregulation, and happiness. Participants were 338 high school students (155 female [45.9%], 183 males [54.1%]) aged between 14 and 18 years. The data collected for the study was analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling. The results revealed that adolescent-parent relationship significantly predicted happiness and emotion dysregulation. Emotion dysregulation is also another predictor of happiness. The study examined indirect correlations between factors. As a result of the analysis, it was found that adolescent-parent relationship predicts happiness through emotion dysregulation. The variables within the structural model account for around half of the variance in happiness.

Se possível, a metanálise será realizada para determinar o efeito da terapia assistida com animais sobre a intensidade da dor.
Equilibria and Bifurcation Theory for Mean-Field Games
Authors:   , Brown Luke Candler , Ambrose David M.
Published: August 2023

To represent the interaction of N rational competitors traditionally, a coupled system of N differential equations must be solved simultaneously, yielding the equilibrium strategy for each player. This approach becomes impractical as N grows, prompting the adoption of a mean-field approach, in which we assume N is large enough that the dynamics of the competition may be suitably represented distributionally in the continuum case. The trajectory of each player through the state space is then driven by a dynamic control, together with an adapted Brownian motion, reducing the computation from N differential equations to two Partial Differetial Equations (PDE's), a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation governing the evolution in time of a utility function, and a Fokker-Planck (Forward Kolmogorov) equation governing the evolutio n in time of the distribution of players, coupled by means of the nonlinear Hamiltonian. In this thesis, we use the Implicit Function Theorem and Bifurcation Theory to obtain nontrivial equilibria of various mean-field games, and we go on to demonstrate the use of Schauder's fixed-point theorem to prove the existence of low-regularity time-bound solutions of a congestion-type mean-field game.
Vote for Me! The Language of Persuasion Used by Philippine Presidentiables
Authors: Eustaquio Theresa Liquigan
Published: August 2023

Words are a powerful tool in persuasion. This research presents a discourse analysis of the persuasion techniques in speeches of the ten Filipino presidentiables during the 2022 national elections in the Philippines. The data were analyzed by categorizing, organizing, and interpreting the techniques and its implication using the three levels of language of persuasion by The New Mexico Media Literacy Project (2007). Results revealed that the presidentiables positively benefited from the utilization of the techniques un- der the Intermediate level. This implies that this level effectively persuades Filipino voters for it requires more creativity from the politicians and less complex comprehension from the voters.
Delineamentos experimentais na avaliação de políticas públicas: usos e abusos
Authors: Jannuzzi Paulo de Martino
Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste ensaio é discutir as potencialidades e, sobretudo, os limites do emprego de métodos experimentais e quase-experimentais na avaliação de programas públicos. Inicia-se com uma breve apresentação do desenho experimental clássico, seus requisitos e conceitos relacionados, como validades interna, externa e contrafatual. Em seguida, são abordadas as modalidades de desenhos quase-experimentais de avaliação, modelos que flexibilizam os requisitos do experimento clássico. Em duas seções de natureza crítica, apontam-se as limitações éticas, políticas e operacionais dos desenhos experimentais e quase-experimentais na avaliação de programas e, depois, as motivações político-institucionais da resiliência dessa abordagem diante de conhecidos e recorrentes problemas de robustez.

Published: August 2023

Este artículo tiene por objetivo comprender cómo el espacio y las posiciones de privilegio y opresión en torno a categorías sociales como la edad, clase, género y sexualidad influyen en la configuración de violencias entre personas gais, lesbianas, transgénero y transexuales. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa que utilizó el método biográfico y las trayectorias de vida. Algunos hallazgos señalan que los espacios de interacción influyen en las relaciones de violencia al ubicar a las personas, con identidades sexogenéricas disidentes, en relaciones de privilegio y opresión.
