Motivations for Instagram use: Personal validation and enhancing close relationships
Authors: Mark Juliette , Rice Lindsey , Punyanunt-Carter Narissra M. , Snidman Hannah R.
Published: March 2023

Digital communication and social networking continue to evolve as user demand increases. While much of the research examining motivations for social media focuses on Facebook, different social networking platforms offer a variety of features and uses increasing demand for continued research on motivations for use of social media platforms. Instagram includes a uniquely visual presentation style when compared to Facebook and emphasizes public connections rather than known social connections, so motivations for use of this platform may differ. The current research examined motivations for Instagram use, in general, focusing on the public affirmation aspects of this platform, as well as examined how this platform may affect motivations to connect with those in close relationships. Instagram use produced greater feelings of sadness when these public affirmation needs were not met. In addition, when close relationship needs were not met, feelings of sadness also increased. This research contributes to the existing literature on social networking site use and highlights unique motivations for use of the Instagram platform.

Published: March 2023

The limited face-to-face interaction has reduced school hours and resulted in students having difficulty understanding the lesson and completing assignments given by the teacher, and this caused a decline in learning outcomes. Optimizing the learning process in the new normal era will be effective by applying blended learning. One of the learning models that can support students is blended learning with discovery learning models. Through the discovery blended learning (DBL) model, students become more active in the learning process. This model can increase students' self-efficacy and collaboration with peers in the class because students feel confident and can solve a problem. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of blended learning with discovery learning models on self-efficacy and learning outcomes in Biology subject during the new normal era. This research is a quasi-experimental research design with non-equivalent control of pretest-posttest group design. Data analysis was carried out by using the N-gain test and independent t-test. The results indicate that there is a significant difference in effectiveness in the class using DBL on student learning outcomes and self-efficacy with the control class using the conventional model. In DBL syntax, students' ability in formulating problems and finding concepts independently, and presenting results can help students improve learning outcomes and self-efficacy. The DBL model can be used as an alternative model to support students learning Biology at the high school level (SMA/MA) in Indonesia so that students are more active in discussions to solve problems related to the subject matter. This model is also expected to guide students to find concepts independently so that students become more confident and believe in their abilities, especially in the new normal era.

Stiffness Characteristics of Pile Models for Cement Improving Sandy Soil by Low-Pressure Injection Laboratory Setup
Authors: H. Hussein Samir , D. Ahmed Mahmod
Published: March 2023

Soil improvement has developed as a realistic solution for enhancing soil properties so that structures can be constructed to meet project engineering requirements due to the limited availability of construction land in urban centers. The jet grouting method for soil improvement is a novel geotechnical alternative for problematic soils for which conventional foundation designs cannot provide acceptable and lasting solutions. The paper's methodology was based on constructing pile models using a low-pressure injection laboratory setup built and made locally to simulate the operation of field equipment. The setup design was based on previous research that systematically conducted unconfined compression testing (U.C.Ts.). The soil improvement techniques were investigated by injecting a low-pressure mixture of water and ordinary Portland cement (O.P.C.) with (0.8, 1, and 1.3) W/C ratios. The study revealed the relationship between pile model samples (U.C.Ts.) and W/C ratios. It also showed that the pile model samples' (U.C.Ts.) result decreased from 14 to 12 to 10 MPa, respectively, with an increase in W/C ratios from 0.8 to 1 and 1.3, respectively. Furthermore, the stiffness characteristics of a jet grouting column were calculated based on Mohr's Circles theory, and numerous theoretical approaches obtained the consequences of tensile strength.

Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after Kh.M. Berbekov, Rasul Gurtuev , Petr Kuzminov , Karina Sundukova , Inna Takhusheva
Published: March 2023

The article handles topical issues of the hydropower development the in Kabardino-Balkarian Re-public in the 1920s–1930s. By organizing a hydrographic study of the region, the Soviet govern-ment was convinced of the design and construction effectiveness of small hydroelectric power plants as a cost-effective form of renewable energy. A five-year plan for the electrification of the region in 1925–1929 was developed, an integral part of which was the construction of a group hy-droelectric station in the Malo-Kabardinsky district, in the east of the KBAO in the dry steppe zone with insufficient and unstable moisture. After laying the western canal of the Malo-Kabardinsky irrigation system, the local authorities began the construction of the Akbashskaya SHPP, which played a key role in supplying high-quality electricity to remote settlements and the first industrial enterprises of the district. Today, the use of the resources of small rivers, which form the basis of the hydrographic network of the region, will ensure the sustainable development of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic and create conditions for its energy security and scientific and technical modernization of industry.

Published: March 2023

The dramaturgy of the North Caucasus people remains an unresearched field of modern literary criticism. This article presents the introduction issues of scientific circulation and studying of the unpublished manuscript of the play “Andemirkan” (1943), placed in the RSALA fund by the Ka-bardian ethnographer, folklorist, playwright and artist Z.P. Kardangushev. This paper considers textological analysis and preparation for publication of the manuscript (85 pages with author’s comments and corrections). Analysis of the manuscript’s content makes it possible to present the translation processes of the author’s thoughts into a literary word and to reconstruct the creative history of his literary work. In practical terms, the analysis of the dramatic texts by Z.P. Kardan-gushev on Andemirkan is crucial for the study of the early twentieth century North Caucasian drama and identification of the artistic characteristics in the embodiment of time, place, and dra-matic conflict.

Authors:   The Institute for the Humanities Research – Affiliated Kabardian-Balkarian Sci-entific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Fatima Uzdenova
Published: March 2023

The work of the Balkarian poet Mukhtar Tabaksoev is presented in a multi-aspect way; axiologi-cal and epistemological landmarks are revealed, with an emphasis on the predominantly philo-sophical orientation of his poetry. The study of the general plot and tonal lines made it possible to illustrate the evolution of the author’s artistic consciousness and draw a general conclusion about the pronounced patriotic and civil components of his work, as well as the attraction to existential reflections. Appeal to symbolic images (white years, black sea, my mountain, playing with the wheel, etc.) allows us to conceptualize the main line of the poet’s thoughts, the philosophy of his work. The paper analyzes the content of two main collections of his poems: “Chars” (Maryevo) and “Charh oyun” (Playing with the wheel), both in terms of content strategy and the specifics of poetics. Research methods: hermeneutic, comparative, semiotic, system analysis method.

Intermodulation responses show integration of interacting bodies in a new whole
Authors: Goupil Nicolas , Hochmann Jean-Rémy , Papeo Liuba
Published: March 2023

People are often viewed among other people, relating to and interacting with one another. Recent studies suggest that socially relevant spatial relations such as face-to-face, change the visual representation of those bodies, relative to when the same stimuli appear in isolation or unrelated to one another (e.g., back-to-back). The current study addresses the hypothesis that face-to-face bodies give rise to a new whole, a representation that integrates the parts (i.e., the individual bodies) in a new perceptual unit. As a measure of integration, we targeted an EEG correlate of the non-linear combination of the neural responses to each individual body. In a dual frequency-tagging EEG paradigm, participants (N=32) viewed two bodies, either face-to-face or back-to-back, flickering at two different frequencies (F1 and F2). Spectral analysis examined the intermodulation frequencies (nF1±mF2), signaling non-linear integration of the two individual responses. An anterior intermodulation response was observed for face-to-face bodies, but not for back-to-back bodies or face-to-face chairs and machines. These results show that interacting bodies are integrated into a representation that is more than the sum of its parts. This effect may mark an early step in the transformation towards an integrated representation of a social event, from the representation of individual participants in that event.
Attending to Body and Mind: Does Interoceptive Attention Compete with Controlled and Negative Automatic Thoughts?
Authors: Brown Chris Robert Harrison , Herman Aleksandra Maria
Published: March 2023

Interoceptive attention reflects the proportion of attentional resources an individual typically allocates to physiological signals. It has, however, yet to be established how interoceptive attention relates with other forms of internally focused attention, such as those to streams of internal thought (e.g., mind-wandering, reflection, worry), and whether these factors compete for limited attentional resources at the trait and state level. Across two Studies (n = 222, n = 109), we isolated two factors from several established measures of attention to thoughts, these reflected negative automatic thoughts (i.e., worry, rumination), and controlled thoughts (i.e., deliberate mind-wandering, reflection). In subsequent regression analyses, reported negative automatic thoughts, but not controlled thoughts, were a significant positive predictor of interoceptive attention, even when controlling for perceived interoceptive ability. This significant relationship was, however, accounted for by trait anxiety when included in the model. To further test whether this correlation was replicated at the state-level, a novel monotonous responding task with three-dimensional attention probes was used, which measures the reported allocation of finite attentional resources between irrelevant thoughts, physical sensations, and the responding to the monotonous task. The results revealed a positive correlation again, with reported attention to thoughts and body signals increasing concurrently across the task, at the expense of attention to the task. The results contradict the idea of a competitive relationship, as individuals who report attending to their internal thoughts more also report attending to their physical sensations more, with some evidence showing that this may be due to underlying trait anxiety.
Behavioral Winter: Disillusionment with Applied Behavioral Science and a Path to Spring Forward
Authors: Gal David , rucker derek
Published: March 2023

Chater and Loewenstein (2023) thoughtfully express their disillusionment with contemporary applied behavioral science, particularly as it pertains to public policy. While they fault an overemphasis on i-frame approaches, their proposed alternatives leave doubt regarding whether behavioral science has much, if anything, useful to offer policy. We offer two critical principles to guide and motivate more relevant behavioral science.
Age-Appropriate Adaptation of Creativity Tasks for Infants Aged 12-24 Months
Authors: Zheng Teo Ling , Leong Victoria
Published: March 2023

Current measures of creativity in early childhood include the Torrance’s Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement (TCAM) task and Toca Kitchen Monsters task. These tasks are designed for children aged above 36 and 18 months respectively, but very few measures of creativity can be used for infants aged 18 months or younger. Accordingly, here we report age-appropriate adaptations of these tasks to be suitable for infants aged as young as 12 to 24 months. Considerations taken into account include (1) infants’ cognitive capacities (i.e., attention span, language comprehension skills, motor skills, and approach to play), and (2) practicality of the stimuli, including suitability for use amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The modified creativity battery for infants includes three tasks: the Music Play, Object Play and Exploratory Play tasks. The task protocols elaborated in this paper are intended to facilitate studies on the early development of creativity in infants aged between 12 and 24 months.
Disentangling Instrumental and Reactive Aggression in an Improved Competitive Reaction Time Task
Authors: Poston A. Michelle , Molina Stephany M. , Barchard Kimberly A. , Benning Stephen D
Published: March 2023

Aggression is frequently subtyped into instrumental and reactive forms. Instrumental aggression has proven challenging to measure using laboratory paradigms. Some researchers have attempted to measure instrumental aggression using the first few trials of the Competitive Reaction Time Task (CRTT), a paradigm that is often employed to measure reactive aggression. However, this setup allows little opportunity for the emission of instrumental aggression, and there is a question of whether the aggression emitted in these first few trials constitute instrumental aggression or merely a baseline level of compliance with demand characteristics of the situation. This study made several modifications to the CRTT to better measure both instrumental and reactive aggression within the same paradigm using a sample of 85 undergraduate students at a diverse university. Overall, participants became angrier (consistent with reactive aggression) and shocked their opponent more frequently and more severely when they themselves were getting shocked in the reactive condition than when they did not receive a shock in the instrumental condition. Shock severity varied with experimental condition more than shock frequency suggesting that - even when participants have the option to not shock their opponent - aggression is primarily emitted in terms of greater shock severity. Results also suggest there may be a baseline frequency and severity of shock that participants will deliver based on demand characteristics and the implicit permission to shock inherent in task instructions, suggesting researchers should measure aggression using the change in shock severity.

The purpose of the study. Reconstruction of the conditions of solodic soils formation in the forest-steppe zone using soil characteristics and microbiomorphic analysis. Location and time of the study. The study was conducted in the forest-steppe zone (Kulunda, Novosibirsk region, Russia) where in the birch grove a pedocomplex consisting of a surface turf soddy soil and a buried soil. Soil samples were collected in 2014. Methods. Phytolith and some other microbiomorphs morphology, composition and relative abundance were analysed and their soil profile changes accessed. Results. Several peaks of the maximum accumulation of phytoliths were found in the microbiomorphic profile of the soddy solodic planosol. The largest number of phytoliths was found in the eluvial horizon. Phytoliths of steppe gramineous plants and elongated forms of dicotyledonous grasses (forbs, legumes, etc.) accounted for a significant proportion. Diatoms were present throughout the entire soil profile; sponge spicules were rare. Conclusion. At the first stage of its formation the buried soil went through the steppe stage of development (predominance of steppe grasses), followed by overgrowing of the steppe soil with meadow-forest vegetation at the current stage (increased share of forest and meadow grasses). The presence of diatomic shells is typical for soils experiencing recurrent (seasonal) flooding of the birch groves: a lot of snow usually accumulates there, and after the snowmelt water stays for a long time in summer. During wet years, when the groundwater level rises and merges with the surface waters, the phytolith forms characteristic of reeds, sponge spicules, and other indicators of increased moisture increased. Thus, the microbiomorphic composition of the buried organo-accumulative soil reflected its formation.

Published: March 2023

Актуальність. Дирофіляріоз (dirofilarioses), що відноситься до ларвальних гельмінтозів, є захворюванням, кількість якого у людини, за літературними даними, в останні роки значно збільшилась, що пов’язують з ростом бродячих тварин та їх міграцією між населеними пунктами, процесом урбанізації, глобальним потеплінням клімату.
Мета. Проаналізувати особливості клініки, діагностики і лікування дирофіляріозу повік і орбіти.
Матеріал і методи. Проаналізовано 58 історій хвороби пацієнтів, які лікувалися в ДУ «Інститут очних хвороб і тканинної терапії ім. В.П.Філатова НАМН України» з 2006 по 2022 рр з діагнозом дирофіляріоз. Було 13 (22,4%) чоловіків і 45 (77,6%) жінок. Середній вік пацієнтів складав 48,8±15,2 років. Хворі проходили стандартне офтальмологічне обстеження і спеціальні методи дослідження (ультразвукове сканування (УЗ), комп’ютерну томографію (КТ) або магнітно-резонансну томографію (МРТ)) ока і орбіти. Лікування всіх хворих – хірургічне. Особь гельмінта веріфікували в паразитологічній лабораторії, капсулу навколо гельмінта досліджували в лабораторії патоморфології інституту.
Результати. З Одеси і Одеської області – 15 (25,9%) випадків, частіше звертались пацієнти з Ізмаїльського та Білгород-Дністрівського районів. За локалізацією гельмінта переважна кількість хворих була з ураженням тканин орбіти – 53 (91,4%) випадків, повік – 5 (8,6%). Усі хворі (100%) скаржились на почервоніння шкіри і набряк повік. При міграції гельмінта глибше в тканини орбіти з’являвся екзофтальм, ступінь якого не перевищувала 2-3 мм, і диплопія – 15 (28,3%) випадків.
Верифікація гельмінту в паразитологічній лабораторії показала наявність D.Repens у всіх 58 випадках, з яких статевозрілих самок гельмінта було виявлено 44 (75,9%),  її фрагментів – 11 (19,0%), у двох (3,4%) випадках виявлено статевонезрілі самки і в одному (1,8%) – самець дирофілярії. Розміри особі дирофілярії коливались від 2,2 до 15 мм в довжину і до 1 мм в товщину.
Висновки. При дирофіляріозі органа зору хірургічне видалення гельмінту є основним методом лікування незалежно від його локалізації (повіки, орбіта, око) з обов’язковим призначенням дезинфікуючих, протизапальних і антигістамінних препаратів як місцево (краплі, мазі), так і внутрішньо.
УЗ-сканування тканин повік і орбіти може бути одним із «золотих стандартів» диференційної діагностики дирофіляріозу поряд с КТ і МРТ.

Authors: Koswara Dedi , Hernawati Diana , Chaidir Diki Muhamad
Published: March 2023

The vast expanse of seagrass beds in coastal areas can provide many ecosystem services, one of which is the ability of seagrass beds to absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is one of the components of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. So the role of seagrass is very important in the ecosystem. This study aims to determine carbon storage in seagrass in the littoral zone of Sancang Beach, Garut Regency, which was carried out in April-June 2022. Determination of potential carbon storage was carried out by taking seagrass samples with a size of 20 cm x 20 cm, then drying to a constant weight. and calculated using a carbon conversion factor for seagrass biomass of 0.34. The results showed that the carbon content at Station 1 Cibako (145.9331 g C/m2) was higher than Station 2 Cikujangjambe (110.026 g C/m2) and Station 3 Ciporeang (117.771 g C/m2). The average carbon content at Sancang beach is 124,577 g C/m2. The conclusion is that in general the carbon storage below the substrate (below ground) in seagrass in the Litoral Zone of Sancang Beach has a greater value than the value of carbon storage above the substrate (above ground).

This study aims to find the concept of prevention and treatment for citizens related to human trafficking carried out by local governments. Empirically, the problem of human trafficking is a violation of human rights related to the right to personal freedom. The majority of these crimes afflict vulnerable groups, such as women and children. On this basis, this study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The data in this study were taken using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. This study uses a constructivist perspective, which is to build ideas through data so as to produce a complete picture. The results show that the model for preventing and handling human trafficking must be collaborative with the central government and institutions dealing with human trafficking issues at the local level. An important aspect that local governments need to focus on is obtaining valid data on maps of human trafficking problems in their administrative areas. This will support efforts to prevent and handle victims of human trafficking involving government and non-government elements. An important aspect of the model for preventing and dealing with human trafficking is that local governments need to increase public participation in campaigning against human trafficking.

In particular, this article aims to analyze several phenomena of hidden forms of power in the process of creating dynastic politics ahead of the 2024 concurrent municipal elections, a case study in the Konawe Regency. To do this, the author uses the Powercube-Gaventa theory from the perspective of hidden forms of power. The author uses a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document studies in the data collection process. This study provides several conclusions, including 1) There is alienation in PAN's internal candidacy process. Dynastic politics operates to control the other party and influence their decisions and support. Potential and experienced political party cadres are quickly eliminated; 2) Setting the agenda of the dynasty. Already exist at all levels of the legislature starting with the DPRD district, the DPRD and DPR RI provinces, and the regional bureaucracies; 3) Actual control of the party. There was a dynasty in the DPD PAN so an actor had a chance of being supported and promoted by the party. The results of this study are rather pragmatic, political parties do not create competent cadres, so they do not give birth to ideal figures through the influence of hidden power, especially in the local elections taking place at the same time in 2024. In addition, dynastic politics through party political instruments does not affect the existence of political waves and conflicts caused by the greater power of the regent (regional head) for the current dynasty-forming period.

The development of nationalism in Malaysian society is one of the important aspects that is frequently explored by social and humanities scientists. However, the debate on this matter is more focused on Malaya and Sarawak, causing the documentation on the development of nationalism among the people of Sabah to still be far from what’s expected. This situation indirectly influenced the meaning of the writings of Western scholars who stated that Sabah is a “state without politics” before and after the early years of World War ll. Whereas, the development of nationalism among the people is also not much different from the national consciousness in both the regions centered on Indonesia. Even so, the effort to trace this linkage is not given enough attention that it is possible the influence of Indonesia in raising the nationalism spirit of the Sabah people is not known by the general public. Therefore, this writing aims to reveal the development of nationalism in Sabah which was also directly driven by Indonesian figures in Sabah based on the emergence of Barisan Pemuda (BARIP). This effort was highlighted by elevating the role of Indonesian figures in mobilising BARIP as one of the political organisations that fought for independence from the British since they had earlier been exposed to the disadvantages of imperialism and colonialism. The data collection of this article was conducted through interviews with several proto witnesses who were either directly involved or saw the BARIP radical movement. The authors also conducted library studies by collecting intelligence reports in the National Archives and Zakaria Gunn’s private collection in the form of personal letters. With that later, this writing is not only able to offer a new dimension in understanding the nationalism development of Sabah society but also puts the position of Indonesian figures at sensible places in the historiography of Sabah politics.

The Place of the Local Government in Nigeria’s Federal Arrangement
Authors: Abubakar Oladeji
Published: March 2023

Multi-level government arrangements-federal, state/provincial and local government-are common to all federal systems. However, the place and role of local government in those systems vary markedly. In some, local government is a constitutionally recognised sphere of government, while in others it is merely a competence of the state/provincial government, or an administrative unit of a higher order of government. In some federal systems where it is recognised, like Nigeria, the local governments are principally established for socio-economic and political development at the grassroots. Thus, local governance is the prerogative of the local governments in Nigeria. This tier of government established by Section 7 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) has some of its functions detailed in the fourth schedule of the same constitution. The overall objective of this paper is the analysis of the current status of the local government within the Nigerian federal system, and a critical examination of what the future holds for the third tier of government in Nigeria. Using essentially secondary documentary method, with content and thematic analysis, the paper recommends incremental constitutional review (as against mega constitutional renewal), the need to enhance political and economic autonomy of local government through frequent elections, and adopting new strategies for generating internal revenues for the local government in Nigeria.
