Liquid fuel production from high density polyethylene plastic waste
Authors: Ida Bagus Alit  , Rudy Sutanto
Published: August 2023

This research aims to determine the effect of heat exchanger diameter variations on the volume and physical properties of fuel derived from plastic waste. The plastic waste is converted using the thermal cracking method, which involves heating the raw material without oxygen. This process produces charcoal and oil from the gas condensation in the heat exchanger. The type of plastic used is High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) waste. The variations of heat exchanger diameter used are 1/2inch, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch. The physical properties investigated include density, viscosity, and heating value. From the test results, it was found that density of the oil fuel produced from plastic waste decreased with increasing heat exchanger diameter. However, the volume and heating value of the fuel produced increased. Generally, the physical properties of plastic pyrolysis oil produced from the thermal cracking process of plastic waste resemble those of gasoline

Identifying the Signs of the AUE Extremist Organization: Linguo-Criminological and Socio-Psychological Aspects
Authors: Ryadchikova E. N. , Belan E. A.
Published: August 2023

In a number of Internet sources, including Wikipedia, and even in some scientific papers, the role of AUE organization ([Ares’tantskoe urka’ganskoe e’dinstvo] – “Prisoner unity” or [Ares’tantskij uk’lad e’din] – “Unified prisoner order”) is quite underestimated. There the AUE is reduced exclusively to the pranks of teenagers aged 13-17 who merely imitate the criminal environment in form, but not in essence. From such explanations it is impossible to understand why this organization has been declared extremist and its activities are prohibited at the state level. Moreover, public danger of the AUE and harmful influence on one’s social adaptive processes remain unclear. The materials considered prove, that the AUE movement is highly destructive. The article reveals the origins and principles of existence of the banned AUE organization, the features of its structural organization, and presents an expanded list of criteria for this criminal extremist community. The authors also provide examples of characteristic words and expressions that mark one’s belonging to the AUE. The specific features of citizens belonging to the AUE organization, their social and speech activities identified by the authors contribute to the qualification of controversial materials and texts as extremist and can be used by law enforcement practitioners involved in identifying such facts.

Published: August 2023

The tourism sector plays a role in the economic development of Indonesia and serves as one of the sources of Regional Original Income. Generally, countries with potential coastal natural resources utilize maritime tourism as a tool to support their development, including in the Mentawai Islands Regency, West Sumatra Province. The tourism sector represents one of the economic development potentials in the Mentawai Islands Regency. Maritime tourism involves recreational activities conducted in marine or coastal areas, including beaches, islands, and oceanic regions, encompassing the surface, depths, and seabed. One of the potentials of maritime tourism destinations is the local wisdom specific to each region. Areas that adopt a community-based approach to the development of maritime tourism utilize social and cultural potentials as tools for its advancement. Therefore, this study focuses on the local wisdom of the Mentawai ethnic community on Siberut Island within the maritime tourism region. The research aims to identify, describe, and explain the local wisdom still applied in the daily lives of the indigenous Mentawai community on Siberut Island as a basis for the development of maritime tourism. The theory of local wisdom is used to analyze the forms of local wisdom. The research design falls under the non-experimental research design. Based on its nature, qualitative data is utilized in the study. From the discussion, it can be concluded that the South Siberut and Southwest Siberut sub-districts exhibit various forms of local wisdom. The forms of local wisdom include knowledge, technology, religious beliefs, culture, customs, and creative products of the community.

Measuring Good Administration
Authors: Schorn Michael , Kaesmayr Julia , Steidle Anna
Published: August 2023

Although good administration plays a crucial role for a state to function, to date no comprehensive and accepted conceptualization exists. Scholars and policymakers, however, are depending on a comprehensive and valid set of criteria to assess the quality of administrations and the effects of reforms and interventions. To develop an appropriate conceptualization, we draw on literature from jurisprudence, administrative, political, economic, as well as social sciences. Applying Rossiter’s C OAR SE approach to ensure content validity, 30 constructs underlying good administration were derived. The items formulated to measure these constructs were empirically validated in an online survey with 519 case workers in German municipal agencies. Principal components analysis yielded four components, i.e., diligence/mission, efficiency, information, and responsivity/support. Thereby, it becomes apparent that some of the criteria used in the literature, such as proportionality, load on multiple components.

A feasibility randomised sham-controlled trial of concurrent self-administered transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and attention bias modification training in binge eating disorder
Authors: Flynn Michaela , Campbell Iain , Schmidt Ulrike
Published: August 2023

Background: Binge eating disorder (BED) is a common and disabling condition, typically presenting with multiple psychiatric and obesity-related comorbidities. Evidence-based treatments are either resource-intensive (psychotherapies) or have side-effects (medications): these achieve remission in ~50% of cases. Novel treatments are needed. We conducted a randomised sham-controlled trial of an at-home self-administered intervention involving the combined delivery of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and attention bias modification training (ABMT) in adults with BED to assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy.Method: Trial registration: NCT04424745 at www.clinicaltrials.gov. Eighty-two participants with BED were randomly allocated to real tDCS with ABMT, sham tDCS with ABMT, ABMT only, or waitlist control (WL). Intervention groups received 10 sessions of their allocated treatment over 2-3 weeks. tDCS (2mA, 20 min) was self-administered using a bilateral (anode right/cathode left) montage targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and 6-week follow-up. Results: Pre-specified feasibility criteria (recruitment ≥ 80 participants and retention rate ≥ 75%) were exceeded, and treatment completion rates were high (98.7%). All interventions reduced binge eating episodes, eating disorder symptoms and related psychopathology between baseline and follow-up, relative to WL (medium-to-large between-group effect sizes for change scores). Small-to-medium effect sizes for change scores favoured real tDCS with ABMT, versus comparators, suggesting the verum intervention produces superior outcomes. Conclusion: At-home self-administered tDCS with ABMT is feasible, acceptable, and preliminary data on efficacy are promising. This approach could be a useful and scalable alternative or adjunct to established treatments. Confirmatory trials can, and should be, pursued.
Worth the Weight: An Examination of Unstructured and Structured Data in Graduate Admissions
Authors: Adaryukov James Alexander , Biernat Monica , Girard Jeffrey M. , Villicana Adrian J. , Pleskac Timothy Joseph
Published: August 2023

In graduate admissions, as in many multiattribute decisions, evaluators must judgecandidates from a flood of information, including recommendation letters, personalstatements, grades, and standardized test scores. Some of this information is structured,while some is unstructured. Yet most studies of multiattribute decisions focus on decisionsmade from structured information. This study evaluated how structured and unstructuredinformation is used within graduate admissions decisions. We examined a uniquelycomprehensive dataset of N = 2, 231 graduate applications to the University of Kansas,containing full application packages, demographics, and final admissions decisions for eachapplicant. To make sense of our documents, we applied structural topic modeling (STM), atopic model that allows topic content and prevalence to covary based on other metadata(e.g., department of study). STM allowed us to examine what information the letters andstatements contain, and the relationships between variables like gender and race and thetextual information. We found that most topics in the unstructured data related to specificfields of study. The STMs did not uncover strong differences among applicants regardingrace and gender though the recommendation letters and personal statements forinternational applicants did show some different topic profiles than domestic applicants.We also found that admissions decision-makers behaved as if they prioritized structurednumeric metrics, using unstructured information to check for disqualifications, if at all.However, we found that topics were less reliable than admissions documents, meaning thatadditional ways of using them cannot be completely ruled out. The implications of ourfindings on graduate admissions decisions are discussed.
An Assimilative Effect of Stimulus Co-Occurrence on Evaluation Despite Contrasting Relational Information
Authors: Nudler Yahel , Bar-Anan Yoav , Moran Tal
Published: August 2023

The co-occurrence of a neutral stimulus with affective stimuli typically causes the neutral stimulus's evaluation to shift towards the affective stimuli's valence. Does that assimilative effect occur even when one knows the co-occurrence is due to an opposition relation between the stimuli (e.g., Batman stops crime)? Previous evidence tentatively supported that possibility, based on results compatible with an assimilative effect obscured by a larger contrast effect of the opposition relation (e.g., people like Batman less than expected, perhaps due to his co-occurrence with crime). We report three experiments (N = 802) in which participants preferred stimuli that stopped positive events over stimuli that stopped negative events – an assimilative effect of co-occurrence, unobscured by a contrast effect, despite comprehending the opposition relation and its evaluative implications. Our findings suggest that the assimilative effect of co-occurrence is potentially ubiquitous, not limited only to co-occurrence due to relations that suggest valence similarity.
Feature Engineering for Quantitative Analysis of Cultural Evolution

In this paper we introduce the use of time-resolved variables to represent the evolution of categorical variables through time. Traditionally, in data science the presence or absence of categorical variables are treated as 1 or 0 with One-Hot Encoding, and then aggregated with compression techniques, such as Principal Components. We annotated time-resolved variables on the Seshat dataset as sequences of categorical features and we compare them to the same categorical features treated with one-hot encoding and Principal Component compression. We find that time-resolved variables are better predictors of the evolution of social scale and social hierarchy, but not of government specialization. We discuss advantages and limitation of the usage of time-resolved variables for the computational analysis of cultural evolution.
Income Volatility and Parenting Styles during Hard Times
Authors: Mari Gabriele
Published: August 2023

Parenting styles are often intervened upon to mitigate disparities in children’s well-being, with the focus of scholarly and public debates resting on lower-income mothers. Although differences in parenting across the income distribution are well-established, the extent to which income itself might be one of the motors of such differences is disputed. Little attention has been paid to income volatility, in particular, despite its secular rise, recent salience, and the links between volatility and parenting drawn by theories across the social and developmental sciences.I thus investigate if and how income volatility affects parenting styles, relying on data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS, 2009-2022). Based on a variety of strategies to address measured and unmeasured confounding, I find that parenting styles are especially responsive to volatility among parents with household incomes above the median at baseline. For higher-income mothers, household and labour income instability are associated with lower warmth scores, whereas instability driven by household (benefit) income gains is associated with higher harshness and permissiveness scores. Differently, mothers with lower incomes score lower on harsh and permissive scales when experiencing benefit income gains. Fathers are especially affected by labour income volatility, with earnings losses leading to lower warmth scores among higher-income fathers, whereas the opposite is true for those with lower incomes. Findings shed light on how theories, public debates, and policies could be re-tailored to address the consequences of volatility on family life.
Regimes of power/non-knowledge in global politics
Authors: Aradau Claudia , Canzutti Lucrezia , Perret Sarah
Published: August 2023

Critical work in international relations (IR) has analysed the production of multiple forms of knowledge and its entanglements with power, silences, circulations and networks of expertise. The ‘other side of knowledge’ has received less attention, except as a resource for political contestation when envisaged as contingency, indeterminacy or uncertainty. This chapter argues that we need to attend to differentiated regimes of governing through nonknowledge. To outline this argument, in a first step we situate non-knowledge in recent debates in IR, agnotology and the emerging field of ignorance. Rather than emphasising the social construction of ignorance by elites, regimes of power/(non)knowledge encompass varied practices where different forms of knowing and not-knowing produce political effects. In a second step, we conceptually engage with the production of non-knowledge in the context of border and migration governance, highlighting how states weave together and balance different forms of knowledge and non-knowledge in their attempts to ‘govern’ migrants. We then draw on reports and fieldwork we conducted in France, Greece, Italy and the UK to trace how various forms of ‘situated non-knowledge’ are produced and play out within asylum regimes across Europe. By analysing the production and proliferation of situated non-knowledge practices, we show how non-knowledge can be a site of (epistemic) violence and injustice in enacting, sustaining and intensifying hierarchies and asymmetries of power.
Mapping Australia’s older, low-income renters

Published: August 2023

This research provides a geographic and demographic picture of low-income renters in Australia aged 50+ (LIRiA50+), as the basis to finding acceptable solutions to the challenges of population ageing and housing needs in the 21st Century. It presents changes in LIRiA50+ populations overtime in a selection of map graphics.Projections indicate increasing numbers of older people needing affordable housing, from approximately 200,000 households to about 440,000 households aged 55 years and over by 2031. It is unlikely that public housing will be able to meet this need. The largest projected increases in the LIRiA50+ populations in Australia are likely to be in peri-urban and outer-suburban regions. For example, in New South Wales, the inner-western suburbs are expecting LIRiA50+ population increases of around 40–50 per cent. There are expected to be some significant rises in regional and rural locations, with strong population increases (between 40% and 100%) expected in many regional centres up to 2032.Understanding the current and future distribution and likely growth in low-income, older renter numbers is important for planning and provision of appropriate and affordable housing stock. This data collation will enable aged care service providers and local and state governments, as well as housing providers, developers and policy makers, to better plan solutions to this growing housing issue.
Stock Market Performance during Covid-19 Lockdown : A Descriptive Analysis of Nepal Stock Exchange
Authors: Pokhrel Sagar
Published: August 2023

This article aims to investigate how the Nepalese stock market behaved during the government-imposed closure to combat COVID 19. In order to analyze the secondary data from March 2020 to September 2021, the time period was divided into three parts: first part is the first lockdown period, second part is the time following the first lockdown and the time before the second lockdown, and the third part is the second lockdown period. The Nepse Index was used as the dependent variable in an OLS regression, while the sub-indices were used as the independent variables. To reduce the issue of heteroscedasticity, all the study variables were transformed into their natural logarithmic forms. Since the study's variables were time series data, the stationarity test was also carried out to produce reliable OLS regression findings. The findings show that the lockdown imposed by the government owing to COVID 19 caused a sharp decline in the share price of all indices on the Nepalese stock market. However, as soon as the lockdown was released, the market began to recover, and the share values began to rise significantly. The findings show that banking and non-life insurance have a significant positive impact on Nepse performance over all three periods, even if the impact of finance was never felt during the study period. Using the study's informative data, investors can manage their share portfolio in unexpected and bad circumstances.

Published: August 2023

This study explores the mental health problems of senior citizens (above 60 years) due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Kirtipur municipality. A qualitative research design with purposive sampling was used to choose the senior citizens and the study area. Data were taken from ten in-depth interviews and ten observations. Data were analyzed through thematic and verbatim methods. It is found that senior citizens had mental tension such as losing self-confidence, anxiety, forgetfulness, and loss of interest in work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on this study, it is recommended that the Kirtipur municipality must identify the causes of the mental problems of senior citizens and support them to minimize the effects.
Identification of at Risk Early Grade Children for Dyslexia by Using Prereading Skills in Nepal
Authors: Thapa Krishna Bahadur
Published: August 2023

In developing countries like Nepal, dyslexia is still an unfamiliar subject for both public and academic professionals; however it needs to be identified among Nepalese children. The study aimed to (i) identify children at risk for dyslexia which might be considered as a general occurrence of dyslexia among Nepalese primary school children (ii) explore a set of predictive variables in identifying children at risk for dyslexia, and (iii) compare early grade reading skills of children at risk for dyslexia with age and grade-matched control group. Altogether, 554 children from grade 2 through 5 were screened by teachers employing an adapted TSQ and identified 75 children having most difficulty either in reading, spelling, mathematical calculation and behaviour problems by direct assessment administering RSAET and their performance was compared with a control group of 86 peers. The findings revealed that out of 554 children, 13.54% of children were identified at risk for dyslexia at the screening stage, but it was 12.63% verified by direct assessment. The logistic regression analysis classified the risk and control groups with a high accuracy of 91.89% based on reading tasks where prevailing sensitivity of 93.33% and specificity of 91.86% were estimated. Overall findings of the present study indicate that a significant number of early grade children are at-risk for dyslexia in Nepal. The findings are consistent with the prevalence of dyslexia reported by international studies. It highlights a need for full-fledged diagnostic studies that may reveal the actual picture of dyslexia in Nepal and inclusive education.
Weak Form Market Efficiency in Nepalese Stock Market Indices
Authors: Adhikari Khagendra , Karki Min Bahadur
Published: August 2023

This paper analyses the weak-form market efficiency of the Nepalese stock market based on daily observation from Jan 23, 2019 to Jan 20, 2021, regarding returns of NEPSE, the composite index of Nepalese stock market, returns of banking sub-index and returns of manufacturing and processing sub-index. The study is conducted employing five tests of random walk i.e. Normality tests, Runs test, Autocorrelation functional test, Unit root test, and Variance ratio test. All tests produced consistent results except for the banking sub-index and manufacturing and production sub-index under variance ratio test and run test. It is concluded that the Nepalese stock market is not in weak-form market efficiency. The assumptions of an efficient stock market may not be materialized in the Nepalese context being a small and young market. The findings of the study report that investors have a favorable opportunity to predict stock price and generate abnormal gain from the Nepalese stock market.
