ScholarOne - The Colonial Origin of Population Resettlement: Evidence from Manchuria
Authors: Saijo Harunobu , Xu Crystal , Zhang Anna
Published: February 2024

Why do post-colonial states engage in population resettlement in their
frontier territories? In this paper, we shift away from the motivations
for resettlement by advancing a cost-centric theory for resettlement. We
contend that states may use the resettlement policy because they inherit
the infrastructural capital to do so from settlers of former colonial
powers seeking to consolidate their frontiers. We test the observable
implications of the theory using a unique geo-coded archival dataset and
in Manchuria, a northeastern border region of China. We find that areas
that received more Japanese settlers during the colonial period
(1931-45) are associated with greater proximity to Chinese settlers in
the post-colonial era (1945-). We also show that, contrary to existing
findings on settlement and growth, Japanese settlements led to slower
economic development. By focusing on cost our paper expands our
understanding of resettlement policies and uncovers an alternative
relationship between settlement and economic development.

The Nexus of Economic and Sociodemographic with Smoking in Indonesia
Authors: Rajagukguk Wilson , Heatubun Adolf B. , Pane Medyawanti , Samosir Omas Bulan , Samosir Perak
Published: February 2024

Tobacco kills half of its users if they don't stop. Cigarettes kill more than 8 million people every year, including an estimated 1.3 million passive smokers who are exposed to active smokers. Smoking behavior is truly an action that has a negative impact on smokers themselves and their entire community. About one in seven deaths worldwide are caused by smoking. This research was conducted by analyzing the results of the National Socioeconomic Survey (Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional/SUSENAS). SUSENAS 2021 was carried out by the Statistics Indonesia (Central Statistics Agency/BPS) in March 2021. It covered all provinces in Indonesia. It was done to meet the need of social and economic development data at district, province, and national level, including data on sustainable development goals. The unit analysis of this study was population aged 15 years and above who smoke nicotine cigarettes. The unweighted number of the respondents in the study was 1888. The dependent variable was whether the smoke nicotine cigarette or not. The independent variables were gender, age, marital status, education, place of residence, island of dwelling, and working status. The in this study were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses to assess, respectively, the sample characteristics, percentage distribution of those who reported crimes by demographic and socioeconomic factors, and demographic and socioeconomic causes of crime reporting. A binary logistic regression was used to investigate demographic and socioeconomic factors of crime reporting. The probability of smoking was higher among those who were males, were aged 30-54 years, had no schooling/incomplete primary school and complete primary school, lived in urban areas, dwelled in Bali and Nusa Tenggara Island, and were not working
The problems of the Anthropocene in the Geologic Time Scale, and beyond
Authors: Soriano Carles
Published: February 2024

The formalization of the Anthropocene in the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) is a matter of debate. An assessment of the two current options, one formalizing the Anthropocene as an Epoch and the other considering the Anthropocene as an informal event in the Earth’s history that does not require formalization, are critically analyzed. The focus of the analysis is on the philosophical issues underlying these two options, which make them unsatisfactory for addressing the occurrence of humans on Earth and the evolution of the relationship between humans and nature. Essentially, the approach followed by these options is non-historical, and does not undertake a research on the structural socio-economic roots of the Anthropocene. As a result, the concept of the Anthropocene is unable to identify the particular and historical form of Anthropos underlying the ongoing environmental degradation. Some inconsistencies in the current configuration of the GTS and in the rules for formalizing units inherited from the historical tradition of the GTS are also highlighted. The current dualistic approach of the Earth system science community, including the two options analyzed for the Anthropocene, prevents a proper understanding of the relationship between humans and nature, which is fundamental to confront the Earth’s habitability crisis of the Anthropocene.
The (in)human right to privacy and freedom of speech in gaming spaces
Authors: Kowert Rachel , Rosenblat Mariana Olaizola
Published: February 2024

Hateful and extremist communication are prevalent in gaming spaces. Industry actors and policymakers, while generally aware of the problem, have been reluctant to counter such communication, in part out of concern for players’ rights to freedom of expression and privacy online. However, these attitudes reveal flawed assumptions about how the human rights to privacy and freedom of expression apply in the online context. These rights are invoked to shield purveyors of hostile and exclusionary rhetoric from accountability, even as their speech serves to prevent the targets of hostility from enjoying their rights to expression, privacy, and freedom from harm. This paper argues that the human rights of victims of harassment and extremist violence should be weighed more heavily when designing policies that may abridge players’ freedom of expression and privacy interests. Industry actors need to counter more effectively the prevalence of hateful and extremist expression, even if doing so requires adjusting players’ expectations of privacy and freedom of speech. Lawmakers and regulators also have a role to play in changing the perception of gaming spaces as black boxes free from external scrutiny. They can do so by exercising adequate oversight of the game industry and striving for a better balance between the demands for free speech and privacy rights online, on the one hand, and the need to protect the human rights of victims of harassment and violence, on the other.

Published: February 2024

The current study conducted a network analysis of ADHD symptoms and reading-related skills of school-age children and compared with the networks of typically developing (TD) peers, to reveal possible important developing stage and reading patterns of children with ADHD. A total of 1,541 children (including 663 ADHD and 878 TD) were assessed on measures of the ADHD Rating Scale-IV and reading-related tasks. The results suggested that denser ADHD symptoms and reading networks with stronger global connectivity were observed in the ADHD group compared to the TD group. Age from ten to twelve was found to be a potentiate critical stage of the development of ADHD symptoms. Furthermore, the current study emphasizes the significance of word reading for other reading-related abilities in children with ADHD. It also highlights the central role of inattention symptoms in reading networks of school-age children. These findings may provide insight for future diagnostic systems.

Published: February 2024

Deep Neural Networks have found widespread useacross various domains, demonstrating notable success. Nonethe-less, their inherent complexity, stemming from the inclusion ofmillions of parameters, presents challenges during deployment insystems requiring low latency. Consequently, there’s a growingneed to develop lightweight neural networks that deliver compa-rable performance during inference. This study introduces a novelweight-based pruning method, wherein weights are graduallypruned based on their momentum from previous iterations. Eachlayer of the neural network is assigned an importance valuedetermined by both its relative sparsity and the magnitude of itsweight in prior iterations. The effectiveness of our approach isassessed on popular network architectures like AlexNet, VGG16,and ResNet50, employing image classification datasets CIFAR-10and CIFAR-100. Results indicate superior performance in termsof both accuracy and compression ratio compared to existingmethods. Notably, our method achieves a compression rate of15× while maintaining the same level of accuracy degradationacross both datasets
Female Body's in Advertisements: A Foucauldian Analysis
Authors: Paudel Jay Ram
Published: February 2024

This research study examines the articulation of the female body in advertisements through the intersecting lenses of Foucauldian perspectives. In the context of contemporary consumer culture where advertisements play a pivotal role in shaping social perceptions of gender and beauty, this research seeks to unravel the complex web of power, discourse, and commodification regarding the portrayal of women's bodies. The analysis delves into how capitalism commodifies the female body, turning it into a product to circulate in the market. The study investigates the economic relations and labor conditions involved in the production of these images, shedding light on the exploitative mechanisms within the advertising industry. It also explores how consumerism and the pursuit of profit contribute to the perpetuation of idealized beauty standards. Simultaneously, drawing from Foucault's theories, the research investigates the ways in which power operates within the discourse of advertisements. It uncovers how advertising normalizes specific beauty ideals, imposes disciplinary domains regimes, and invites viewers to engage in a surveillance-based gaze that judges and categorizes female bodies. This study revealed that advertisements commodify the female body, reducing women to objects that can be bought and sold, perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards and creating a culture where women feel alienated from their own bodies, all driven by the profit motive of corporations and reinforcing the capitalist notion that everything, including beauty, has a price. By elucidating these dynamics, the research contributes to a critical discourse on the role of advertising in reinforcing or challenging gender norms and the broader socio-economic system.

Authors: Nayak R. , Amgain L.P. , Ghimire S.R.
Published: February 2024

A field experiment was conducted during spring season of 2023 at the sub-tropical climate of Tikapur, Kailali to evaluate the impact of site-specific nutrient management on growth, productivity, profitability and yield gaps of spring maize. The experiment followed a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatment combinations and four replications. Maize seeds were sown in four different farms on 27 February, 2023 with different site-specific nutrient management (SSNM) approaches viz. with Nutrient Expert®-Maize recommended dose (T1), three omission plots i.e., Omission of Nitrogen (T2), Omission of Phosphorus (T3), Omission of Potassium (T4), Government Recommended Dose (T5), and Farmer’s Fertilizer Practices (T6). Using the Nutrient Expert® Maize model Computer Software, the SSNM+NE dose was recommended via a household survey in the respective farmer's field before the start-up of the experimentation. Various growth parameters, yield, yield attributing traits, and total cost of production of spring maize were recorded and subjected to analysis using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) in R-studio. The results revealed that the highest grain yield (3.71 t ha-1) was achieved with SSNM+NE, which was statistically at par with the Government Recommendation Dose (3.12 t ha-1). Moreover, SSNM+NE showed significantly higher thousand grains weight (442.75 g) and straw yield (6.81 t ha-1), respectively. Notably, the straw yield, grain yield, and thousand grain weight of SSNM+NE were statistically comparable to those obtained with the government recommendation. Economic analysis showed higher benefit-cost ratio as well as increased net and gross returns in SSNM+NE as compared to the other nutrient management practices. The SSNM+NE and Governmental Recommended Fertilizer based treatments were about 231% and 178% advantageous over the Farmer’s Fertilizer Practices. It could be suggested that SSNM+NE would the best approach for increasing the growth, productivity and profitability of spring maize in the sub-tropical terai of Far Western Nepal.
Is the Existing Hydropower Development Policy, 2001 Investment Friendly?
Authors: Pradhan Bijay Lal , Budhathoki Dhun Bahadur , Malla-Pradhan Rajeshwori
Published: February 2024

Nepal is endowed with an abundance of hydro resources. Its gross hydropower potential is estimated to be 83,290 MW technically. Out of which, 42,133 MW is ascertained as economically exploitable. However, in the span of 112 years, only around 2,900 MW is harnessed. It is obvious that the development of hydropower is a public policy-related matter. Previous studies exhibit several complications in hydropower development policy, 2001 such as private sector participation in electricity trade, lack of one window system, term of project, hedging mechanisms, foreign direct investment, and so forth. In this regard, this study aims to investigate its efficiency and effectiveness through quantitative research design. Herein, for the sake of empirical research three independent variables namely, Financial Incentives Sufficiency (FIS), Return on Investment Sufficiency (RoIS), and Market Access Sufficiency (MAS), and one dependent variable namely, Investment Friendliness (IF) was dealt. To collect the opinion of respondents a set of questionnaires comprising 11 questions was developed and approached to 108 informants from 25 diverse sectors of the hydro-industry. Herein, deductive reasoning was persuaded. For analyzing data, statistical tools such as arithmetic mean, standard deviation, factor analysis, Chi-Square tests, Mann Whitney "U" test, and Kruskal-Wallis "H" test were computed. Based on empirical analysis this study concludes that the hydropower development policy, of 2001 is investment-friendly. However, the study manifested a number of rooms that were to be addressed as changing the expectations of investors. On this ground, the findings of this study will be applicable with a view to formulating a more investment-friendly hydropower policy in the future.
Critiques of Development using Foucault’s Discourse and Power Theory
Authors: Gautam Bijaya
Published: February 2024

Analyzing the modern development program through Michel Foucault's theory of discourse and power provides insights into its origins and shortcomings. This research aims to critique modern development theory in terms of Foucault’s theory of discourse and power. Development, and modern development theory as well as Escobar’s articles about the implementation of Foucault’s theory were studied. The research found that the discourse surrounding development serves as a means of exerting power and control, often driven by the interests of dominant nations. However, despite ambitious promises, development programs frequently fail to achieve meaningful progress due to the power dynamics and inequalities embedded in the modern development discourse which excludes local discourse. Applying Foucault's framework challenges universal claims and grand narratives, opening avenues for critical analysis and a post-modern understanding of development. This approach prompts a reevaluation of power dynamics, knowledge production, and discursive practices, aiming for context-specific approaches that address the diverse needs of underdeveloped nations.

Introduction
Authors: Hausner Sondra L. , Coleman Simon
Published: February 2024

One of the most exhilarating aspects of the anthropology of religion is that our field spans so many contexts – by definition – in such a way that we can never take either theory or method for granted. Our discipline consistently asks us to consider epistemological questions about the acquisition and the presentation of argument and knowledge: both the ways we go about deriving our material and the lenses through which we interpret it must always be assessed. Our ethnographies are our method, and our contexts, all in one. This year's issue takes up all these themes – our theoretical approaches; our fieldwork; and the data or the stories that we collect, translate, analyse, and present – with sophistication and depth, in ways that we hope can push our discipline farther.

China's Cooperation with Countries of Central Asia: Present and Prospects
Authors: Holianych Bohdan
Published: February 2024

The article examines China’s geopolitical, economic, and security interests in Central Asia against the background of global geopolitical confrontation in the region. It has been established that China’s foreign policy towards the countries of Central Asia is aimed at: observing the principles of good-neighborly friendship and peaceful cooperation; implementation of mutually beneficial cooperation to promote general prosperity; respect for the choices of people of all countries and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries; respect for independence and sovereignty and promotion of regional stability.

Special attention is paid to the issue of security and maintenance of stability in the region, which is ensured mainly through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The issue of cooperation in the energy sector was also considered. China’s state-owned companies in the region have focused their interest on the energy industry, and especially on Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan – countries that contain significant hydrocarbon potential and high export and transit opportunities.

By attracting investments to the region, China strengthens its influence, thereby weakening the dependence of the countries of the region on Russia and balancing Russia's political activity in the region.

According to the results of the first summit «China - Central Asia», held on May 18-19, 2023 in the city of Xiʼan, the leaders of the countries of the region approved the policy of «one China», supporting its policy towards Taiwan, and also agreed on the activation of bilateral relations, the development of transport energy and transport and logistics communications, increasing the export of food products to China.
Architectonics of Reforming Romania and Bulgaria in the Context of Integration into the EU
Authors: Melnychuk Liubov , Osadtsa Ivan
Published: February 2024

he article analyses the dynamics of negotiations between Romania and Bulgaria regarding EU membership and reveals their steps on the way to integration and solving the main problematic issues. It has been proven that the new approach of Bucharest, in particular institutional reforms, the creation of a national system for the coordination of European integration and the development of National Programs and Priority Action Plans for the preparation of EU accession, led to the acceleration of the process of preparation for integration and conducting negotiations. It is established that the EU authorities tried to promote the integration of Romania and Bulgaria by modernizing the Accession Partnership in 2002 - 2003 and updating the Road Map in 2000 and 2002, as well as providing and increasing the amount of financial assistance. The European Commission and the European Council, due to the backwardness of Romania and Bulgaria, called on them to step up their efforts, thereby confirming the EU's willingness to provide them with full support. It is substantiated that the adoption of the financial package for the accession of Romania and Bulgaria in February 2004 intensified the negotiations and contributed to the implementation of the most difficult sections of the acquis in 2004. The reporting documents of the Commission on Romania and Bulgaria for 2004 stated that they continued to fulfil the Copenhagen criteria and the probable readiness to membership in three years. It is noted that after making a number of efforts and carrying out forced reforms, the above-mentioned states managed to achieve EU membership in 2007.

O Dasein é um ente que se compreende como ser-no-mundo, em que “mundo” refere-se ao contexto referencial de significados. Nesse contexto encontram-se os ambientes onde o ente humano como historicamente constituído se relaciona com outros entes, dentre eles o ente chamado de “livro” que pode significar mais que um mero instrumento em sua instrumentalidade (Zuhandenheit), mas ser esse ente “o livro da minha infância”, “da adolescência”, etc, desvelando sua livracidade no “para quê é lido”. O livro fala porque o ente que o escreveu, o Dasein-autor, é possuidor da linguagem assim como o Dasein-leitor que se relaciona com a obra. Calvino afirma que o livro, como um autorretrato do autor apresenta um mundo escrito que tem como fonte o mundo não escrito, isto é, a realidade que é mais surpreendente e assustadora que o que se encontra no livro. A relação da literatura com a filosofia que, outrora, era de adversários, tem mudado com a tentativa dos escritores em conciliar ambos os movimentos, incluindo mais um elemento em uma tríplice relação – Ciência – Filosofia – Literatura. Assim como o ente humano, o livro tem atravessado por mudanças significativas, como a ascensão dos livros digitais. A proposta do artigo é compreender esses aspectos e interpretar filosoficamente alguns trechos de obras mundialmente conhecidas.
Einstein e a busca pela unidade lógica do mundo: princípio da relatividade e generalização das transformações de Lorentz
Authors: Da Silva Vinícius Carvalho
Published: February 2024

No presente artigo analisamos o papel do princípio da relatividade e da generalização das transformações de Lorentz na física relativística de Einstein, cujo ideal filosófico era a construção de uma imagem da natureza dotada de máxima unidade e simplicidade lógica. Em seu realismo crítico-racionalista, Einstein visava elaborar uma “concepção de mundo” que expressasse a unidade lógica da natureza. Esse programa filosófico o fez, ao longo de sua carreira científica, elaborar “grandes sínteses”, buscando a compatibilidade entre diversos sistemas físicos.

Effective supply chain management is imperative for the seamless operation of manufacturing facilities, ensuring the timely delivery of goods and services to customers. However, the inherent complexity of supply chain systems introduces various risks and uncertainties that can significantly impact factory performance and the broader business sector. This research addresses the challenges faced by a brick manufacturing factory in Aceh Besar Regency, highlighting the absence of a well-structured risk management framework, inadequate mitigation planning, and suboptimal risk identification methods within the supply chain. To address these shortcomings, this study employs the House of Risk (HoR) methodology, utilizing it to identify risk events and agents within the supply chain. Mitigation strategies are designed based on the Aggregate Risk Potential (ARP). Data for the study were gathered through interviews and questionnaires completed by 12 respondents from three brick manufacturing factories and consumers. A combined quantitative and qualitative analysis approach, incorporating severity and occurrence risk levels assessed by each respondent, was used. The application of the Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) model revealed 21 risk events and 23 risk agents. Notably, risk agents such as adverse weather conditions, weak contractual agreements with suppliers, adverse weather during production and delivery processes, and damaged products displayed the highest ARP values (649, 826, 1521, 473, 276) across key business processes (plan, source, make, deliver, return). In response to these findings, proposed mitigation strategies include executing tasks during inclement weather, managing raw material inventory, establishing fair long-term contractual agreements with suppliers, selecting appropriate transportation during adverse weather, and choosing high-quality suppliers. This research contributes to the field of supply chain management by addressing gaps in risk mitigation within the brick manufacturing sector. The combination of the HoR methodology and ARP provides a comprehensive framework for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks, thereby enhancing the resilience of the supply chain. The results are particularly relevant for practitioners seeking effective strategies to manage risks in brick manufacturing and other similar industries.

We studied the kinetic regularities of filtration drying of corn alcohol distillery stillage. The kinetic curves characterizing the process of filtration drying of corn alcohol distillery stillage at different parameters of the stationary layer of the studied material and thermal agent were obtained: at different heights of the wet material, and at different temperatures of the thermal agent and the velocity of its movement through the stationary layer. The calculated dependences for determining the intensity of the filtration drying process in two conditional drying periods were proposed. The equations for the calculation of drying time separately for each conditional drying period were given. The maximum value of the relative error is 19.42%, while the average relative error is 5.37%, which is an acceptable deviation in practical calculations of experimental and industrial drying installations.
The Provisions of Professional Zakat; Between Zakat on Agricultural Products and Zakat on Gold
Authors: Hidayat Muhammad , Roni Muhammad
Published: February 2024

Professional zakat is a new problem in the field of fiqh, and the issue of professional zakat is hotly discussed, starting from its understanding and legal basis to the procedures for its implementation. This article is classified as literature research with a qualitative approach. The methodology used is a comparative study of law. The results of the study concluded that there were differences among scholars on professional zakat in terms of its legal basis; some scholars mentioned departing from the construction of qiyas against al-mal al-mustafad. Others say that the basis is Q.S. Al-Baqarah/2:267. While in terms of implementation, some scholars argue that the qiyaskan nisab and qadar zakat professions are the same as agricultural zakat, which does not require hauling. Others argue that the nisab and qadar zakat professions are the same as nisab and qadar zakat al-mal al-mustafad, which is 85 grams of gold but does not require hauling, while zakat al-mal al-mustafad requires hauling. There are also scholars who argue that the nisab and qadar zakat professions are qiyaskan to nisab and qadar zakat gold and wear haul.

Background: In 1993, Richardson et al. introduced the score for neonatal acute physiology (SNAP), a 34-parameter system predicting mortality and morbidity in neonates. To enhance simplicity, it was later refined to nine parameters and renamed SNAP-II. Additionally, a perinatal extension known as SNAP Perinatal Extension, Version II (SNAPPE-II) was developed for broader applicability. Objectives: To determine the validity of SNAPPE-II in predicting the outcome in terms of mortality in premature babies of gestational age between 32 and 36 weeks in a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Cheluvamba Hospital, Mysore, Karnataka. Materials and Methods: The diagnostic study was conducted in the NICU of a tertiary care center in Mysore, India. The sample size of 138 subjects was calculated using a formula, and simple random sampling was used. The study included newborns with gestational ages between 32 and 36 weeks, and data was collected within 48 h of birth as per the proforma. The study assessed the correlation between the SNAPPE II score and mortality rate in babies admitted to the NICU. Data were analyzed using various statistical methods. Results: This study finds that the SNAPPE-II score has a moderate ability to distinguish between those newborns who will end up with mortality and those who will survive, as indicated by an area under ROC curve of 0.724, and has moderate diagnostic accuracy as indicated by a Youden index of 0.3974. The associated criterion for the SNAPPE-II score is >57, indicating newborns are more likely to have mortality. Conclusion: The SNAPPE-II score can be used to predict neonatal mortality rates in moderate-to-late preterm babies of gestational age between 32 and 36 weeks.

Community forests provide benefits to their functions and roles in meeting community needs and environmental sustainability based on economic, social, and ecological perspectives. Social indicators play this role in the sustainability of community forest health. This study aims to obtain a weighted value (quality assurance) of social indicators in assessing the health of community forests. The stages of research carried out included, among others, conducting interviews with questionnaire instruments with respondents, determining the priority scale with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, and determining eigenvalues with the Analytic Networking Process (ANP) method. Based on the results of the study, four social indicators can describe the health condition of community forests: education indicators, employment indicators, participation indicators, and institutional indicators. These indicators have the same level of importance, where the eigenvalues obtained do not have significant differences. It means that community forest farmers have realized that social indicators can support environmental sustainability in aspects of forest health. Thus, the weighted values obtained by social indicators from the highest to the lowest are indicator participation (0.29), education indicator (0.27), institutional indicator (0.23), and employment indicator (0.21). The formation of farmer groups needs to be done to improve local institutions. Therefore, they can support community forest management regulations
