Comparison of physical and quality characteristics of silage maize and silage sorghum under deficit irrigation conditions
Authors: KETEN GÖKKUŞ Mualla , DEGİRMENCİ Hasan
Published: September 2023

Silage sorghum has the feature of being an alternative to silage maize in many ways. Considering this feature, the nutritional contents and physical properties of silage maize and silage sorghum were examined. The aim of this study was to compare the physiological and quality characteristics of silage maize and silage sorghum under different irrigation treatments (M100-S100, M80-S80, M60-S60, M40-S40, and M20-S20). This study examined the physiological characteristics (chlorophyll content, plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaves) and quality characteristics (acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and protein content (HP)) of second-crop silage maize and silage sorghum. Chlorophyll contents were measured before and after irrigation. These measurements showed that irrigation had no effect on the chlorophyll content in both plants in the middle of the growth period, and chlorophyll contents decreased towards the harvest. There was no significant difference between silage maize and silage sorghum plant height values. In the mean values for both years in which the plants were examined, stem diameter values and numbers of leaves were higher in sorghum compared to maize (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between maize and sorghum in terms of their protein contents (8.47% and 8.25%, respectively), acid detergent fiber (ADF), or neutral detergent fiber (NDF) values. In this case, it was seen that sorghum can be an alternative to maize in terms of nutritional quality. The protein contents of both plants decreased from the 100% irrigated treatment to the 20% irrigated treatment (p<0.01). This study will provide valuable information to feed producers and researchers in terms of comparing the physiological and quality characteristics of silage maize and silage sorghum under deficit irrigation conditions.

"Unveiling the Semiotics of Cigarette Advertising: Analyzing Propaganda Strategies"
Authors: Tano Andreas , Simanjuntak Sheva Immanuel
Published: September 2023

This study aims at demonstrating how prolonged exposure to media, particularly in cigarette ads, can shape individuals' beliefs, attitudes, and values. The cultivation theory by Gerbner, G. (1998) was applied in the analysis to show the mentioned issues. Besides, the study also investigated the role of cinematography, specifically cameraworks, and employed a semiotic approach to explore signs and symbols in the ads. Ferdinand de Saussure's (1916) "signifier" and "signified" framework was used to illustrate how visual elements construct narratives, shedding light on how cigarette ads subtly influence perceptions of smoking and its lifestyle implications. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that: 1) It is revealed that extensive exposure to media, including cigarette ads, distorts perceptions of smoking's prevalence and harm, potentially influencing initiation or continuation of smoking behaviors. 2) Cinematography, analyzed through semiotics, unveils how visual elements in cigarette ads construct intricate narratives. The interplay of "signifier" and "signified," rooted in Saussure's framework, showcases how camera techniques convey nuanced implicit and explicit meanings. 3) Cigarette ads employ a dual-layered approach, blending explicit messages of courage with implicit motives of empowerment. Regular media consumers are more inclined to perceive these messages as reflective of reality. The examination illustrates the interrelated aspects of cinematography, and semiotics, discussed by using cultivation theory in molding the complex issues of cigarette advertisements. The interaction among these components impacts how viewers perceive, shape stories, and nurture distinct convictions and viewpoints.

Modeling the decreasing intervention effect in digital health: a computational model to predict the response for a walking intervention
Authors: Gotzian Lisa
Published: September 2023

In past digital health interventions, an issue has been that participants drop out over time which is referred to as the ”law of attrition” (Eysenbach, 2005). Based on this, we propose that though initially, participants respond to the intervention, there is a hypothesized second diminishing effect of an intervention. However, we suggest that on top, there is a third effect. Independent of the individual notification or nudge, people could build the knowledge, skills and practice needed to independently engage in the behavior themselves (schraefel and Hekler, 2020).Using behavioral theory and inspired by prior animal computational models of behavior, we propose a dynamical computational model to allow for a separation of intervention and internalization. It is targeted towards the specific case of the HeartSteps intervention that could not explain a diminishing immediate effect of the intervention, second hypothesized effect, while a person’s overall steps remained constant, third effect (Klasnja et al., 2019). We incorporate a habituation mechanism from learning theory that can account for the immediate diminishing effect. At the same time, a reinforcement mechanism allows participants to internalize the message and engage in behavior independently. The simulation shows the importance of a participant’s responsiveness to the intervention and a sufficient recovery period after each notification. To estimate the model, we use data from the HeartSteps intervention (Klasnja et al., 2019; Liao et al., 2020), a just-in-time adaptive intervention that sent two to five walking suggestions per day. We run a Bayesian estimation with Stan in R.Additional validation tests are needed to estimate the accuracy of the model for different individuals. It could however serve as a template for future just-in-time adaptive interventions due to its generic structure. In addition, this model is of high practical relevance as its derived dynamics can be used to improve future walking suggestions and ultimately optimize notification-based digital health interventions.

Brain Movement in Quadriplegia and Vision Restoration in a Blind Teacher. Implant Devices Can Change Human Response to Environment- Past, Present and Future Suggestions
Authors: Gill Sharoon
Published: September 2023

Implants are used to improve a variety of disabilities, giving vision percepts to a blind teacher or to recognize cell signaling in the brain to detect movement in an individual with quadriplegia. There are different types of implants that are used in cranioplasty, dental surgery, orthopedic surgery and ophthalmology. Implants in the craniofacial region require an optimal fixation method to adjust longevity in humans and reduce the rate of infection. The brain machine intercept wireless models are developed to restore brain function in an individual. Current technology has the potential of becoming an evolutionary mechanism of coping for those with brain disease or a severe spinal cord injury with paralysis. This paper reviews literature to compare the current models with dental and orthopedic implants, to suggest the potential for changes, in advancing durability and projectivity of reduced rate of infection.

A Critical Exploration of Human-Primate Dynamics and Ecological Reflections in ‘Rise of the Planets of the Apes’ Movie: An Ecocriticism Literary Analysis
Authors: Journal Boanerges , Zulkarnaen Dicky Morgana , Saraun Mychelle Aide Abigail , Clara Scarlet , Chendra Rivalio , Pane Charrine Sefanya Fiorentina Fiorentina
Published: September 2023

This journal article offers an ecocritical analysis of the film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" through the lens of Hiltner's "Ecocriticism" (2014). Employing a qualitative methodology, the study examines the movie's portrayal of human-animal relationships and environmental ethics. Additionally, the article delves into the cinematography of the film, focusing on the use of camera techniques to convey environmental and ethical themes. As the result: 1) The interconnectedness among humans, apes and environment portrays ethical concerns regarding the separation of apes with their habitat for medical experiment. 2) The human-animal relationships depicted shows that the apes' yearning for freedom and acceptance creates ethical implications: being seen as part of a family and as a mere experimental subject. 3) The disruption of ecosystems by human actions, particularly the apes' habitat, exploitation and abuses has made severe disruption both the humans and the apes, caused by the injustice experienced by the apes. This aligns with the film's broader portrayal, highlighting the interconnectedness between human exploitation, environmental disruption, and the need for ethical considerations.

Inhibition of Return in a 3D Scene Depends on the Direction of Depth Switch Between Cue and Target
Authors: Haponenko Hanna , Britt Noah , Cochrane Brett , Sun Hong-Jin
Published: September 2023

Inhibition of Return (IOR) is a phenomenon that reflects slower target detection when the target appears at a previously cued rather than uncued location. In the present study, we investigated the extent to which IOR occurs in 3D scenes comprised of pictorial depth cues. Peripheral cues and targets appeared on top of 3D rectangular boxes placed on the surface of a textured ground plane in virtual space. It was revealed that when the target appeared at a farther location than the cue, the magnitude of the lateral IOR effect remained similar regardless of whether cues and targets appeared at different depths (i.e., IOR was depth-blind). When the target appeared at a nearer location than the cue, the magnitude of the lateral IOR effect was significantly attenuated (i.e., IOR was depth-specific). The present findings address inconsistencies in the literature on the effect of depth on IOR and support the notion that visuospatial attention exhibits a near space advantage.
A tripartite structure of pragmatic language abilities: comprehension of social conventions, intonation processing and causal reasoning
Authors: Floyd Sammy , Jouravlev Olessia , Mineroff Zachary , Poliak Moshe , Gibson Edward , Fedorenko Evelina
Published: September 2023

Successful communication requires frequent inferences. In a large-scale individual-differences investigation, we searched for dissociable components in the ability to make such inferences, commonly referred to as pragmatic language ability. In Experiment 1, n=376 participants each completed an 8-hour behavioral battery of 18 diverse pragmatic tasks in English. Controlling for IQ, an exploratory factor analysis revealed three clusters, which can be post-hoc interpreted as corresponding to i) understanding social conventions (critical for phenomena like indirect requests and irony), ii) interpreting emotional and contrastive intonation patterns, and iii) making causal inferences based on world knowledge. This tripartite structure largely replicated a) in a new sample of n=400 participants (Experiment 2), which additionally ensured that the intonation cluster is not an artifact of the auditory presentation modality, and b) when applying Bayesian factor analysis to the entire dataset. This research uncovers important structure in the toolkit underlying human communication and can inform our understanding of pragmatic difficulties in individuals with developmental and acquired brain disorders, and pragmatic successes and failures in neural network language models.
A Logical Approach to Necessity and Sufficiency
Authors: Fisher Aaron Jason , Leenaerts Nicolas , Victor Sarah E.
Published: September 2023

We propose a framework that views the predictive and associative work of psychological science as pursuits of necessity and sufficiency, wherein we are chiefly concerned with identifying the sets of conditions that give rise to outcomes of interest. Viewed in this way, these pursuits become largely logical problems to solve—if-else rules that designate or classify the occurrence of an outcome. The challenge becomes how to build sets of necessary conditions and how to identify the sets that are sufficient for the outcome. We propose a two-stage approach in which sets of concurrent and/or sequential elements are built iteratively from singles to pairs to triples and so forth via mutual information. Sets are encoded as dichotomous variables via Boolean operators. The explanation of the response variable is optimized by one of two methods, either the minimization of the conditional entropy or the maximization of the conditional probability. Moreover, we eschew a deterministic causal approach for a stochastic framework, wherein we examine necessary and sufficient conditions for the likelihood of event above or below an arbitrary threshold of probability or entropy. Two empirical demonstrations are provided, one cross-sectional and between-persons and one from person-specific time series. We demonstrate how the treatment of compound sets as dichotomous variables effectively compresses the information about the concurrence or sequence of set elements into a binary encoding. Moreover, we show how these sets can be used to subset populations into at-risk subsamples and to subset time series into at-risk moments within persons.
On United States Mass Shootings
Authors: Khan Tariq
Published: September 2023

The severity of the effects on organisms, especially human males, of histamine and serotonin biochemical interactions - and their subsequent behaviors - has been vastly underestimated in the scientific community. Humans, like all life, are sensitive to their environment. Mentally ill or unstable individuals can be triggered into impulsive and violent activities from spikes in serum serotonin. Human serum histamine level is directly proportional to environmental allergen or pollen levels, but serum serotonin level is inversely proportional to serum histamine levels with human males having 52% more serotonin than females. Data show an association between the dates of violent acts, especially male single shooter mass shootings in the United States, and the dates of dramatic decreases in pollen levels thus indicating pollen and serum histamine level drops as a possible precursor or triggering relationship. This knowledge can be used as a potential predictor for law enforcement and medical agencies for a given city or region. Mental health professionals would be advised to lower serotonin boosting meds and even supplement antihistamine and sedative medications to male patients in the timeframes of March through June, for spring tree pollens especially juniper tree pollen, and from September through November, for fall ragweed weed pollen.

Electoral Cycles and Caste Violence in India
Authors: Roy Ambika , Mukherjee Anirban
Published: September 2023

In presence of ethnic voting, violence is often used in India to dissuade ethnic minorities from voting. In this paper, we examine if violence against disadvantaged castes follows a pattern during an electoral cycle. More specifically, we want to see if crimes against the Scheduled Caste population in India is affected by it’s proximity to state assembly elections. For this we construct a district level panel of 466 districts, spread across 18 states from2007 to 2021 on crime and elections in India. Our baseline specification exploits a fixed effects model and finds that election years are marked by a statistically significant fall in caste violence, which is quite high in the year preceding the election. A heterogeneity analysis reveals that the effect is significantly enhanced in districts with a history of caste politics, especially where caste parties have more political power. Our findings also support the claim that an increase in political power leads to a greater degree of confrontation and conflict rather than its prevention.
Durkheim’s Impact on Social Theory: Context, Cooperation, Collectives
Authors: Herzog Patricia Snell
Published: September 2023

Sociology has a canon, and critiques have been leveled at this canon. This paper addresses both the critiques of the canon and its continuance by analyzing the lineage of classical social theory from Émile Durkheim to contemporary studies. While Durkheim’s impacts on social theory are numerous, this paper focuses in particular on his impact in understanding three categories of social phenomena: context, cooperation, and collectives. The alliteration of these three categories can serve as a mnemonic device in remembering how Durkheim’s scholarship contributed to contemporary subfields. In explaining each of these three categories, this paper: (a) summarizes ideas in contemporary scholarship that continue and advance upon Durkheim’s social theories; (b) situates contemporary scholarship within a few of Durkheim’s primary publications; and (c) identifies key terms that are regularly associated with this vein of Durkheim’s scholarship. The paper culminates in a current events assignment based upon a table that synthesizes contemporary topics, relevant subfields, primary sources, key terms, and related sources. A writing prompt also asks students to engaged with a compelling visual to understand a key theme in classical and contemporary scholarship: tensions between individual freedom and collective wellbeing.

Fecha de caducidad a los territorios indígenas en Brasil: un caso de ceguera ontológica
Authors: Gudynas Eduardo
Published: September 2023

El proyecto de ley conocido como “marco temporal” que se discute en Brasil, es un ejemplo de una ceguera ontológica bajo la cual la política moderna no comprende que los pueblos indígenas también son sus territorios. El proyecto es un intento de establecer una fecha límite sobre el reconocimiento territorial, lo que implica el reconocimiento de pueblos originarios. Esa posición política es promovida por actores de la extrema derecha de Brasil (muchos asociados al gobierno de J Bolsonaro) pero no tiene una oposición o rechazo enérgico desde la actual administración Lula da Silva. Es un caso de disputa también en el plano ontológico.
The Effect of Module-Assisted Direct Instruction on Problem-Solving Ability Based on Mathematical Resilience
Authors: Kuncoro Krida Singgih , Juandi Dadang
Published: September 2023

Mathematical resilience is necessary for learning mathematics because the nature and impression of mathematics is a complex subject for most students. This study aimed to determine the effect of the module-assisted Direct Instruction model and mathematical resilience on the problem-solving abilities of prospective teacher students at a private university in Yogyakarta. This research is a quantitative descriptive study with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group design type. The sample used was 40 students divided into 19 students in the experimental class, namely the class that received the module-assisted Direct Instruction learning model, and 21 students in the control class, namely the class that received the Expository learning model. The data collection technique is done by giving a mathematical resilience questionnaire. The data analysis technique used quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results also show that the Direct Instruction learning model assisted by the module effectively supports problem-solving abilities controlled by the variable of mathematical resilience in discrete mathematics lectures.

This research produced mathematics teaching material products with an average percentage of 85.6% which were included in the very valid category. Student responses to teaching materials are in the very good category with an average percentage of 82.22%. This shows that teaching materials are appropriate for use in learning at school.
Students’ Cognition of The Induction Step in Proving Inequality Propositions
Authors: Tatira Benjamin
Published: September 2023

The induction step in proof by induction requires some clever tricks in order to get the expected formula for , especially in statements with inequalities. The purpose of this study was to determine undergraduate students’ cognition regarding the induction step in proving inequality propositions in order to create opportunities to teach the principle of mathematical induction better. A class of 67 students participated in the study on learning proof by induction using the problem-based approach. The Action-Process-Object-Schema theory was used to structure the study and the cyclic activities-class-discussion-exercises instructional approach was used to teach proof by induction. Data for the study was comprised of individual students’ written responses to a task of two questions and the transcriptions of the semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students at most showed indication of partial understanding of proof by induction. Executing the induction step sits at the heart of proof by induction and necessitates logical reasoning at the object-level conception. Inadvertently, the implication was the most challenging aspect in proof by induction. The majority of students made inroads in setting up the proof properly but could not succeed in proving that . Some students had challenges of where to begin a proof, so much that they chose to start with direct substitution. In line with that, most students also concluded without deriving the expected formula required to draw a conclusion.

Success as Failure, Failure as Success
Authors: Chervinska Olha
Published: September 2023

The article under studies outlines the parameters of the paradigm “success” in relation to the concept of “category”. Hereby, success is interpreted as an ontological phenomenon, as a creative objective of any activity. The metaphysical parameters of success are outlined through a number of additional concepts-markers: avant-garde (innovation), historical time, goal, conjuncture, context, method, style, leap, boundary, summit, victory, authority, even a lucky coincidence. All of them require compliance with their own criteria. Success can come to authors years and even centuries after their death (Homer, Dante Alighieri, Shakespeare, Friedrich Hölderlin, Byron, Emily Dickinson, Vasyl Stus). The same happens to certain texts that may even be alienated from the author (for example, Scheherazade’s fairy tales, chivalric novels, Ukrainian dumas, which are currently successfully exploited by the genre of fantasy). The transit of such successful themes and texts was recorded by A. Volkov’s school of TPI (last quarter of the previous century). Its representatives agreed that imitation is mainly produced by the success of the original source. Referring to the canonical circle of literary names (for example, those identified by H. Bloom), we observe the lack of argumentation for common criteria for evaluating each of these writers. The most interesting things can happen to an artist in the future, in the shadows, because success is mostly a turning point, not the end of his or her life trajectory. Success as a specific emotional cleansing of the soul, in fact, its devastation, can put a tragic end to a biography. Therefore, when taken together, success and failure appear as an important dichotomous compound, the most essential intentional levers of subjective self-determination. The author’s interpretation of the paradigm of “success” is regarded in this article on the example R.-M. Rilke’s poetic text “The Beholder”.
