Divine Constitution: the Letters of Muqatha'ah and Its Readings
Authors: Arlis Arlis
Published: January 2023

The inability of the younger generation of Muslim students to read the letters of muqath'ah has been revealed through interaction in recent years. This fact is very worrying and needs the best solution, because the letters of muqatha'ah are part of the divine constitutional verse (Qur'an) that serves as a guide for all aspects of life. The method used is a method of study of normative law with an approach to the integration of science. The data used is literature material. The results of the study found muqatha'ah letters consisting of one, two, three, four, and five letters. The letters are: صۤ; قۤ; نۤ; حٰمۤ; طٰهٰ; طٰسۤ; يٰسۤ; الۤمّۤ;الۤرٰ; طٰسۤمّۤ; عسق; الۤمّۤصۤ; الۤمّۤرٰ; كۤهٰيٰعۤصۤ. The letters of muqatha'ah number 14 letters in the count without repetition contained in the 29 letters. The practice of reading the letters of muqatha'ah can be listened to when connected to the internet because the muqathaa'ah letters contained in the table are connected to several reciters through hyperlinks. Among the reciters who read the letters of muaqtha'ah are Al-Afasy, Al-Mu'aqly, As-Sudais, Husary, and Ayyub. The improvement of the reading in shaa Allah is obtained with intention and earnestness. It takes continuous practice by utilizing various media. May Allah make us all His experts, the masters of the Qur'an. Ketidakmampuan generasi muda mahasiswa muslim membaca huruf-huruf muqath’ah terungkap melalui interaksi dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Fakta ini sangat mengkhawatirkan dan butuh solusi terbaik, karena huruf-huruf muqatha’ah adalah bagian dari ayat konstitusi ilahi (Al-Qur’an) yang berfungsi sebagai pedoman untuk seluruh aspek kehidupan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode studi hukum normatif dengan pendekatan integrasi ilmu. Data yang digunakan adalah bahan kepustakaan. Hasil studi ditemukan huruf-huruf muqatha’ah yang terdiri dari satu, dua, tiga, empat, dan lima huruf. Huruf-huruf tersebut adalah: صۤ; قۤ; نۤ; حٰمۤ; طٰهٰ; طٰسۤ; يٰسۤ; الۤمّۤ;الۤرٰ; طٰسۤمّۤ; عسق; الۤمّۤصۤ; الۤمّۤرٰ; كۤهٰيٰعۤصۤ. Huruf-huruf muqatha’ah berjumlah 14 huruf dalam hitungan tanpa pengulangan yang terdapat dalam 29 surat. Praktik membaca huruf-huruf muqatha’ah dapat didengarkan ketika terkoneksi dengan internet karena huruf-huruf muqathaa’ah yang terdapat dalam tabel dikoneksikan kepada beberapa qari melalui hyperlink. Di antara qari yang membaca huruf-huruf muaqtha’ah adalah Al-Afasy, Al-Mu’aqly, As-Sudais, Husary, dan Ayyub. Perbaikan bacaan in syaa Allah diperoleh dengan niat dan kesungguhan. Dibutuhkan latihan berkelanjutan dengan memanfaatkan berbagai media. Semoga Allah menjadikan kita semua menjadi ahli-Nya yakni ahli Qur’an.

Indonesia bukan negara agama tertentu, Indonesia juga bukan negara sekuler yang memisahkan antara agama dengan negara secara mutlak. Tetapi bahwa banyak aturan hukum di Indonesia yang ber¬sumber dari aturan agama yang kemudian menjadi pedoman bagi seluruh masyarakat Indonesia, terlepas dari apa pun agama yang dia anut.Akibat kentalnya hubungan agama dengan negara di Indonesia, maka para tokoh agama memiliki posisi yang sangat signifikan dalam percaturan hidup bangsa. Karena mereka dianggap sebagai sosok yang punya pemikiran netral dan hanya berorientasi pada kehidupan vertikal kepa-da Tuhan, tanpa dibalut kepen¬tingan yang dapat merusak tatanan hidup bangsa.Persoalan muncul, manakala sebagian orang, termasuk mereka yang dinilai memiliki pemahaman lebih terhadap agama sehingga ucapan dan tingkah lakunya kerap menjadi panutan banyak orang. Ironisnya, justru diantara mereka ada yang memanfaatkan agama yang mereka pahami itu untuk kepentingan duniawi yang justru merusak citra mereka sendiri.

ANTROPOLOGI HUKUM DALAM SUDUT PANDANG PANCASILA
Authors: putra farhan daffa
Published: January 2023

Antropologi secara etimologis berasal dari bahasa Yunani. Kata Anthropos berarti manusia dan logos berarti ilmu pengetahuan. Jadi, antropologi adalah ilmu yang mempelajari manusia. Oleh karena itu antropologi didasarkan pada kemajuan yang telah dicapai ilmu pengetahuan sebelumnya. Ilmu Antropologi merupakan salah satu cabang ilmu yang berkembang cukup pesat di dunia, termasuk di Indonesia. Ilmu Antropologi lahir dari hasi perjalanan bangsa Eropa Barat ke berbagai belahan dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Dari perjalanan tersebut kemudian terkumpullah berbagai benda etnografi yang kemudian menjadi cikal bakal lahirnya ilmu Antropologi. Perdebatan tentang Antropologi saat ini lebih banyak pada kurangnya peran Antropologi pada dunia nyata sehingga banyak ahli yang membawa Antropologi pada ranah terapan. Antropologi hukum adalah kajianantropologi terhadap makna sosial dari dan pentingnya hukum dengan menelaah bagaimana hukum dibuat termasuk bagaimana konteks sosial pembuatan hukum tersebut, bagaimana hukum mempertahankan dan mengubah institusi sosial lainnya, dan bagaimana hukum membangun perilaku sosial. Membawa Antropologi pada ranah terapan akan memengaruhi perkembangannya pada masa yang akan datang. Semakin mampu menjawab kebutuhan zaman, maka Antropologi akan semakin berkembang
The New Measures of Interoceptive Accuracy: A Systematic Review and Assessment
Authors: Desmedt Olivier , Luminet Olivier , Walentynowicz Marta , Corneille Olivier
Published: January 2023

Conscious interoception, the perception of internal bodily states, is thought to contribute to fundamental human abilities (e.g., decision-making and emotional regulation). One of its most studied dimensions is interoceptive accuracy: the objective capacity to detect internal bodily signals. In the past few years, several labs across the world have started developing new tasks aimed at overcoming limitations inherent in traditional measures of interoceptive accuracy. In this systematic review, we identified these tasks (since 2015) for the cardiac, respiratory, and gastrointestinal domains. For each identified task, we discuss their strengths and weaknesses and make constructive suggestions for further improvement. In the general discussion, we discuss the (potentially elusive) possibility of reaching high validity in the measurement of interoceptive accuracy. We also point out that interoceptive accuracy may not be the most critical dimension for informing current theories, and we encourage researchers to investigate other dimensions of conscious interoception.

CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT USING DEFAULT MODELS: A REVIEW
Authors: Jumbe George
Published: January 2023

Credit risk, also known as default risk, is the likelihood of a corporation losing money if a business partner defaults. If the liabilities are not met under the terms of the contract, the firm may default, resulting in the loss of the company. There is no clear way to distinguish between organizations that will default and those that will not prior to default. We can only make probabilistic estimations of the risk of default at best. There are two types of credit risk default models in this regard: structural and reduced form models. Structural models are used to calculate the likelihood of a company defaulting based on its assets and liabilities. If the market worth of a company's assets is less than the debt it owes, it will default. Reduced form models often assume an external cause of default, such as a Poisson jump process, which is driven by a stochastic process. They model default as a random event with no regard for the balance sheet of the company. This paper provides a Review of credit risk default models.

INTERVENSI MILITER TURKI TERHADAP WILAYAH KEDAULATAN SURIAH TAHUN 2016 – 2019
Authors: Penulis
Published: January 2023

This paper aims to analyze the Turkish military intervention against the Syrian sovereign territory in 2016 - 2019. The Syrian crisis has directed threats indirectly to Turkey's presence of Kurdish groups on the border. The Kurdistan Workers' Party or PKK activity in Syria. Syria made the PKK affiliated with the Syrian Kurdish group, the Democratic Union Party or PYD a particularly important actor in the northern region of the state during the crisis. In the midst of instability due to the army's conflict in Syria, Turkey believes that the political nature and military strength of the PKK & PYD can harm its domestic security or stability. Now the PKK is still a separate region or autonomy for the Kurdish southeast.The perspective used in this research is the perspective of Neo-Realism by Kenneth Waltz, as well as the analysis of the nation-state level. This study uses the theory of national security and the concept of intervention that explains Turkey's relationship with threats to security or stability whose approach is a vital national interest.This research shows that the threat of the Syrian Kurdish PKK & PYD encourages Turkey to intervene in Syria's sovereign territory. The first Turkish military intervention was carried out in 2016 under the name Operation Euphrates Shield, the second in 2018 Operation Olive Branch, and the third in 2019 Operation Peace Spring. The Turkish military intervention aims to weaken and limit the political and military movements of the Kurdish group in northern Syria, create a safe zone (safe zone) on the Syrian border for the Syrian refugee community in Turkey, and integrate Syrian territory, in addition to weakening the influence of the Kurdish PKK & PYD and creating a safe zone for Syrian refugees, Turkey also has Economic interests and Political interests in the Syrian Conflict.

Published: January 2023

Organic foods are popular around the world, with some consumer segments willing to pay price premiums. This study determined the price differential of a shopping basket of organic versus conventional vegetarian foods using an observation of retail prices across 13 conventional retailers in a regional area of Australia. The organic basket had a 60% price premium, with premiums varying widely by retailer. The higher premiums for fruits, vegetables, and grains relative to dairy and sugar may be due to higher costs of marketing channel logistics.

Authors: Bruce Harley , Munday Katie , Kapp Steven
Published: January 2023

The objective of this study was to obtain an in-depth understanding of autistic transgender and/or non-binary adults’ experiences in accessing, or trying to access, gender identity healthcare (GIH). A semi-structured interview was used to obtain first-hand experiences of 17 participants. Thematic analysis determined that patient-level, provider-level, and system-level factors impacted on participants’ experiences when accessing GIH. Patient-level factors included sensory sensitivities, disruption to routine and lack of local provision. Provider-level factors included fear of gatekeeping treatment, perceived professional knowledge around autism and transgender/non-binary healthcare needs, limited communication methods, lack of accommodations and misdiagnosed mental health difficulties. System-level factors included unclear processes, standardisation of care, long waiting lists, and the impact of insurance. Recommendations for improvements were also obtained from participants, which highlighted the need to listen to service users to positively impact their experiences in accessing GIH.
Striving for the Thin Ideal Post-Pregnancy: Coss-Sectional Study of Intuitive Eating in Postpartum Women
Authors: Lee Megan Frances , Williams Sue , Burke Karena
Published: January 2023

Objective: To conduct a cross-sectional study of women in the postpartum period to identify relationships between intuitive eating, body image satisfaction, eating attitudes and depressive symptomology. Methods: Women with at least one child born in the previous 6–48 months were recruited via Facebook to complete an online survey which included: sociodemographic and health questions, the Intuitive Eating Scale, the Body Shape Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire, the Eating Attitudes Test-26 and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables and hierarchical regressions used to examine associations between intuitive eating styles, body image satisfaction, eating attitudes and depressive symptomology. Results: Of the 419 women (mean age 32 ± 5.3 years), 32% were classified with intuitive eating styles and were more likely to have higher body image satisfaction (F = 476.80, p < .001), less disordered eating attitudes (F = 30.74, p < .001) and lower depressive symptomology (F = 4.14, p = .042). Conclusions: The postpartum period is a time of high risk for developing/maintaining eating styles that may negatively impact psychological health and well-being. Providing education to new mothers about the benefits of intuitive eating could positively influence their health and well-being.
Exploring Attitudes Towards Smoking Behaviour and Cessation Among Hospitalised Smokers via a Socio-Ecological Framework: A Scoping Review
Authors: Obieche Obum , Lee Megan Frances , Salehi Nasim
Published: January 2023

Objectives: Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable mortality and disability. Smoke-free policies in healthcare settings have been implemented as a public health measure. This scoping review aims to explore attitudes on smokers’ cessation in smoke-free healthcare settings using a socio-ecological framework. Methods: Four databases were searched for terms: smoking cessation, patient attitudes, and smoke-free policy. Of 420 studies, 17 met full inclusion criteria. Results: The review identified four socio-ecological aspects of smoking cessation in smoke-free healthcare settings: Intrapersonal factors (health literacy, health conditions, and self-efficacy), interpersonal factors (social support, peer pressure, and social responsibility), healthcare factors (perceived mixed messages, healthcare setting, clinical, psychosocial and health promotion supports), and societal factors (restrictions on smoking in a public place and social acceptability of smoking). Smoke-free policies effectively encouraged cessation in some patients but were ineffective in those that felt a loss of autonomy. Provision of smoke breaks within smoke-free policies was considered a mixed message. Conclusions: Holistic strategies are required to interconnect the four socio-ecological dimensions for successful smoking cessation.
The Impact of Pesticides on Local Waterways: A Scoping Review and Method for Identifying Pesticides in Local Usage
Authors: Rosic Nedeljka , Bradbury Joanne , Lee Megan Frances , Baltrotsky Kathryn , Grace Sandra
Published: January 2023

Pesticides used in agriculture are widely considered to be the most cost-effective way to reduce undesirable plants and animal pests and increase crop yields. However, these economic benefits should be evaluated against any deleterious impacts on the natural environment and human health. While a great deal of attention is paid to the impact of agricultural runoff, more studies are needed on the impacts of pesticides on local waterways. The aim of this study was to: (i) develop a methodology to determine which pesticides were being used in local agriculture in the Byron Shire, Australia, and (ii) search the literature for evidence of the impact of these chemicals on local waterways. After a comprehensive search involving multiple government databases, three herbicides with potentially high toxicity on the aquatic ecosystems and humans, which are used for the treatment of crops cultivated on the agricultural land in the Byron Shire, Australia, were selected for this review: bromoxynil, diquat and paraquat. In the systematic scoping review, two databases were searched (Scopus and Web of Science) for publications between January 2008 and April 2019. From 160 articles identified, 36 papers were selected for inclusion. The evidence of harmful effects at realistic field concentrations (concentrations that are within the recommended safety range for use in the environment) was found for all selected herbicides, but not on all organisms. In aquatic environments, diquat was found to be toxic to snails and bromoxynil to microalgae. The clearest and most consistent evidence was found for paraquat. At realistic field concentrations, paraquat: (i) severely inhibited healthy bacterial growth (E. coli), (ii) distorted tropical freshwater plankton communities, and (iii) increased fish kills (common carp) three times more than the weed (water hyacinth) that it was employed to control. Of particular concern is that paraquat has been banned from sale in the European Union and many countries around the world but remains available in Australia and is likely in use in the Byron Shire. While there are existing Australian government regulations restricting the use of paraquat in agriculture, further work is required to scope the extent of its use, the effectiveness of these regulations and the amount of paraquat entering the environment. This study provides a methodology that can be used to identify pesticides that are likely to be in local use and to identify evidence of any negative impacts on the health of local waterways.

Published: January 2023

Occupational stress has increased in higher education academic staff over several decades, and this has been particularly acute in Australia and New Zealand. This scoping review sought to understand the causes and impacts of occupational stress among Australian and New Zealand academics. Eight EBSCO databases were searched for key terms: academic and occupational stress and Australia and New Zealand. Twenty relevant papers were sourced, from which five common themes were extracted: (i) balancing an academic workload, (ii) casualisation of the workforce, (iii) the managerialism phenomenon, (iv) transition from field of practice to academia, and (v) academic and other staff. Further research in the Australian and New Zealand context is required to identify the nature of specific stressors and how these impact health and well-being.
No frills: Simple regularities in language can go a long way in the development of word knowledge
Authors: Unger Layla , Yim Hyungwook , Savic Olivera , Dennis Simon , Sloutsky Vladimir
Published: January 2023

Recent years have seen a flourishing of Natural Language Processing models that can mimic many aspects of human language fluency. These models harness a simple, decades-old idea: It is possible to learn a lot about word meanings just from exposure to language, because words similar in meaning are used in language in similar ways. The successes of these models raise the intriguing possibility that exposure to word use in language also shapes the word knowledge that children amass during development. However, this possibility is strongly challenged by the fact that models use language input and learning mechanisms that may be unavailable to children. Across three studies, we found that unrealistically complex input and learning mechanisms are unnecessary. Instead, simple regularities of word use in children’s language input that they have the capacity to learn can foster knowledge about word meanings. Thus, exposure to language may play a simple but powerful role in children’s growing word knowledge.
The Role of Mentalization in Child Psychotherapy, Interpersonal Trauma, and Recovery: A Scoping Review
Authors: Oehlman-Forbes Deborah , Lee Megan Frances , Lakeman Richard
Published: January 2023

Children who are exposed to trauma often develop difficulties with reflective functioning, affect, and emotion regulation. These problems are thought to arise from and are reflective of disruptions in the process of mentalization, or the human capacity to interpret and reflect upon the thoughts, feelings, wishes, and intentions of oneself and others. This scoping review sought to describe the empirical support for focusing on mentalization processes in psychotherapy for children who have been exposed to trauma. Two independent researchers searched electronic databases, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, and Cochrane. Search terms child, trauma, mentalization and mentalization-based therapy were applied. A total of 425 studies were screened against the inclusion criteria, to include 18 studies comprising quasi-experimental, cross-sectional, naturalistic, case-control, and case studies. In all, 3 themes were identified across the articles: (a) trauma and mentalization, (b) measurement of mentalization, and (c) charting recovery. The literature suggests the role of mentalization treatment in the remission of symptoms for internalizing and externalizing disorders and shaping mentalization deficits over time. Mentalization focused treatments may also improve reflective functioning, emotional regulation capacity and the quality of attachment. The implementation of a child mentalization-based model as a preventative intervention may contribute to increased positive outcomes for vulnerable children. This scoping review presents an overview of the evidence for program developers, mental health services, family support services and those in independent practice that wish to adopt a mentalization approach in child psychotherapy. Future systematic reviews are needed to support this evidence.
Secondary Teachers’ Perceptions of the Importance of Pedagogical Approaches to Support Students’ Behavioural, Emotional and Cognitive Engagement
Authors: Kelly Megan , Yeigh Tony , Hudson Suzanne , Willis Royce Lyle , Lee Megan Frances
Published: January 2023

This article reports on original research investigating the pivotal role that teachers play in student engagement, using a tri-dimensional framework. This framework identifies how teachers’ pedagogical choices impact student engagement in ways that influence students’ external behaviours, internal emotions and internal cognitions. A questionnaire was developed to explore secondary teachers’ (n = 223) perceptions of pedagogies that support students’ behavioural, emotional and cognitive engagement in the classroom. Findings revealed that female participants placed higher importance on pedagogies that support students’ cognitive and behavioural engagement, and participants with leadership roles placed higher importance on pedagogies that support students’ cognitive and emotional engagement. Also emerging from the research was a negative correlation between the importance teachers placed on pedagogies that support cognitive and behavioural engagement and their school’s ICSEA value (the measure of socio-educational advantage in Australian schools). Overall, results support the tri-dimensional framework of student engagement utilised in this study and provide a robust framework for future research to further explore teachers’ pedagogical choices and how these choices impact student engagement.
Separating weak integrated information theory (IIT) into IIT-inspired and aspirational-IIT approaches
Authors: Leung Angus , Tsuchiya Naotsugu
Published: January 2023

Mediano et al. (1. Mediano 2022 TICS) separate out strong and weak flavours of the integrated information theory (IIT) of consciousness. They describe “strong IIT” as attempting to derive a universal formula for consciousness, and “weak IIT” as searching for empirically measurable correlates of aspects of consciousness. We put forward that their overall notion of “weak IIT” may be too weak. Rather, it should be separated out to distinguish “aspirational IIT”, which aims to empirically test IIT by making tradeoffs to its proposed measures, and “IIT inspired” approaches, which adopt high level ideas of IIT while dropping the mathematical framework it reaches through its introspective, first-principles approach to consciousness.
Differential Effects of Intuitive and Disordered Eating on Physical and Psychological Outcomes for Women with Young Children
Authors: Lee Megan Frances , Madsen Julian , Williams Sue , Browne Matthew , Burke Karena
Published: January 2023

Objectives Pressure to lose weight can increase the risk of developing disordered eating behaviours, negative body image and depressive symptomatology. Eating intuitively may counteract these negative outcomes. This research examined the unique relationship between intuitive eating and disordered eating on body mass index (BMI), body image and depressive symptoms for women of young children. Methods A survey of women with a child aged between six and 48 months, included the Intuitive Eating Scale, Eating Attitudes Test-26, Body Shape Questionnaire and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted as an omnibus test to estimate the effect of intuitive and disordered eating on BMI, negative body image and depressive symptoms. Results Of the 419 sample (M age = 32.06), 32% were classified with disordered and 32% with intuitive eating. MANOVA and regression analysis found disordered eating positively associated with depressive symptoms, (β = 0.303) and negative body image (β = 0.318). Intuitive eating was associated with lower depressive symptoms (β = − 0.183) and negative body image (β = − 0.615). Disordered eating (β = − 0.194) and intuitive eating (β = − 0.586) both contributed to lower BMI, with the association stronger for intuitive eating. Conclusion The early parenting period involves a high risk for developing disordered eating behaviours. Eating patterns are modifiable factors, illustrating the potential for positive and preventive health outcomes through adopting intuitive eating behaviours. There is an opportunity for healthcare professionals to promote physical and psychological health including for women in the early parenting period.
Is Dietary Quality Associated with Depression? An Analysis of the Australian Longitudinal Study of Women’s Health Data

Published: January 2023

Depression is a chronic and complex condition experienced by over 300 million people worldwide. While research on the impact of nutrition on chronic physical illness is well documented, there is growing interest in the role of dietary patterns for those experiencing symptoms of depression. This study aims to examine the association of diet quality (Dietary Questionnaire for Epidemiological Studies version 2) and depressive symptoms (Centre for Epidemiological Studies for Depression short form) of young Australian women over 6 years at two time points, 2003 (n 9081, Mean age = 27·6) and 2009 (n 8199, Mean age = 33·7) using secondary data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health. A linear mixed-effects model found a small and significant inverse association of diet quality on depressive symptoms (β =−0·03, 95 % CI (−0·04, −0·02)) after adjusting for covarying factors such as BMI, social functioning, alcohol and smoking status. These findings suggest that the continuation of a healthy dietary pattern may be protective of depressive symptoms. Caution should be applied in interpreting these findings due to the small effect sizes. More longitudinal studies are needed to assess temporal relationships between dietary quality and depression.
Normative Dehumanization and the Ordinary Concept of a True Human
Authors: Phillips Ben
Published: January 2023

Recently, I presented evidence that there are two broad kinds of dehumanization: descriptive dehumanization and normative dehumanization. An individual is descriptively dehumanized when they are perceived as less than fully human in the biological-species sense; whereas an individual is normatively dehumanized when they are perceived as lacking a deep-seated commitment to good moral values. Here, I develop the concept of normative dehumanization by addressing skepticism about two hypotheses that are widely held by dehumanization researchers. The first hypothesis is that dehumanization is distinct from mere dislike and other non-dehumanizing attitudes. The second hypothesis is that dehumanization is an important predictor of intergroup hostility. Across four studies, I found evidence that normative dehumanization is distinct from mere dislike, as well as perceptions of ideal humanness. I also found that it is a unique predictor of intergroup hostility. These findings suggest that research into dehumanization and intergroup hostility will benefit from recognizing the distinction between descriptive and normative dehumanization.
When is a "small effect" actually large and impactful?

Reporting of effect sizes is standard practice in psychology and psychiatry research. However, interpretation of these effect sizes can be meaningless or misleading – in particular, the evaluation of specific effect sizes as “small”, “medium” and “large” can be inaccurate depending on the research context. A real-world example of this is research into the mental health of children and young people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Evidence suggests that clinicians and services are struggling with increased demand, yet population studies looking at the difference in mental health before and during the pandemic report effect sizes that are deemed “small”. In this short review we utilise simulations to demonstrate that a relatively small shift in mean scores on mental health measures can indicate a large shift in the number of cases of anxiety and depression when scaled up to an entire population. This shows that “small” effect sizes can in some contexts be large and impactful.
Click, click boom: Using Wikipedia data to predict changes in battle-related deaths
Authors: Oswald Christian , Ohrenhofer Daniel
Published: January 2023

Data and methods development are key to improve our ability to forecast conflict. Relatively recent data sources such as mobile phone and social media data or images have received widespread attention in conflict research. Oftentimes these do not cover substantial parts of the globe or they are difficult to obtain and manipulate, which makes regular updating challenging. The sometimes vast amounts of data can also be computationally and financially costly. The data source we propose instead is cheap, readily and openly available, and updated in real time, and it provides global coverage: Wikipedia. We argue that the number of country page views can be considered a measure of interest or salience, whereas the number of page changes can be considered a measure of controversy between competing political views. We expect these predictors to be particularly successful in capturing tensions before a conflict escalates. We test our argument by predicting changes in battle-related deaths in Africa on the country-month level. We find evidence that country page views do increase predictive performance while page changes do not. Contrary to our expectation, our model seems to capture long-term trends better than sharp short-term changes.
Patients’ views and opinions on patient-reported outcome (PRO) data collection: A scoping review protocol
Authors: Aiyegbusi Lee , Macefield Rhiannon
Published: January 2023

Effective and efficient PRO data collection is important for research and routine practice. Patients’ engagement and understanding of what PROs are and how they are collected and measured (PRO measurement) is fundamental to maximising the reliability, completeness, and timeliness of PRO data. A collaborative TMRP/HDR UK project to explore the issues and research requirements surrounding patient engagement and understanding of PROs / PRO measurement is proposed, starting with a scoping review to identify and summarise existing literature, examine gaps in research evidence and propose recommendations for future research.
Time Savings When Working from Home

Published: January 2023

We quantify the commute time savings associated with work from home, drawing on data for 27 countries. The average daily time savings when working from home is 72 minutes in our sample. We estimate that work from home saved about two hours per week per worker in 2021 and 2022, and that it will save about one hour per week per worker after the pandemic ends. Workers allocate 40 percent of their time savings to their jobs and about 11 percent to caregiving activities. People living with children allocate more of their time savings to caregiving.

What is The Public? A Pragmatic Analysis of a Core Concept in Public Administration
Authors: Whetsell Travis A
Published: January 2023

The discipline of public administration has grappled with concepts regarding the public for well over a century. Scholars from public opinion, public choice, and public value(s) have analyzed myriad elements of administration related to the public. Scholars also have applied numerous concepts from philosophical pragmatism to public administration. However, detailed explorations of the fundamental concept of the public remain surprisingly sparse. The public remains eclipsed by administration. In this essay, I analyze the concept of the public focusing on the works of John Dewey. Viewed through this lens, publics emerge when social interaction generates unregulated effects on communities that respond by organizing collective or state action, a process which I refer to as the realization of the pragmatic public. I juxtapose the theory with multiple extant literatures in public administration, including public choice, transaction costs, and public value(s). I identify consistencies and inconsistencies to provide a pluralistic yet coherent framework in the hope of revealing points of departure for future theory development. Finally, I reframe and extend the pragmatic public by applying the insights of contemporary scholarship in networks and complexity theory.
Value dissonance in research(er) assessment: Individual and institutional priorities in review, promotion and tenure criteria
Authors: Ross-Hellauer Tony , Klebel Thomas , Knoth Petr , Pontika Nancy
Published: January 2023

There are currently broad moves to reform research assessment, especially to better incentivise open and responsible research and avoid problematic use of inappropriate quantitative indicators. This study adds to the evidence-base for such decision-making by investigating researcher perceptions of current processes of research assessment in institutional review, promotion and tenure processes. Analysis of an international survey of 198 respondents reveals a deep disjunct between personal beliefs and perceived institutional priorities (“value dissonance”), with practices of open and responsible research, as well as “research citizenship” comparatively poorly valued by institutions at present. Our findings hence support current moves to reform research assessment. But we also add crucial nuance to the debate by discussing the relative weighting of open and responsible practices and suggesting that fostering research citizenship activities like collegiality and mentorship may be an important way to rebalance criteria towards environments which better foster quality, openness and responsibility.
