Some Observations on Flute Playing in Malaysia
Authors: Voon Chai Yem
Published: December 2020

Surviving in an environment that seems to be not encouraging music performances for entertainment or for mental contemplation, Malaysian musicians have to strive very hard in order to earn a living. The situation gets worse when it comes to a particular group of musicians who have no choice but share the similar job opportunities. Apparently, the market is not offering enough opportunities for flautists compared to pianists and string instrument players. This eventually leads to a very competitive situation in both the performing and teaching scene. The time frame of this observation reaches back to the time between 2011 and 2016, a cut in cultural market matters caused by the last general election.
By and large, watching pure instrumental performances is yet a new controversy for local audiences. This is the major reason stopping potential sponsors to support local arts though musicians have no way to showcase their passion for music without funding. The situation is more frustrating when focussing on flute performance alone as there is no commonly organised major flute event in Kuala Lumpur. For instance, "The Flute Festival in Malaysia" in 2007 was the first and only flute festival so far, in Malaysia. It was organized by the Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) together with The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac), the Embassy of Japan and the Flute Festival in Malaysia Organizing Committee. The flute festival opened the eyes and ears of the local flute lovers by giving flute masterclasses, bringing in different kinds of flute brands and models for free trials on the spot and having a flute orchestra to perform. It consisted of 60 professional and amateur musicians from Malaysia, Japan and other countries, who came hoping to inspire each other and to purely enjoy flute music. Not to forget the famous saxophone ensemble from Japan, the “Mi-bemol Saxophone Ensemble” that gave a marvellous performance which was greatly inspiring Malaysian audiences of wind instruments. However, this also shows that flute performances alone might not get to stand resolutely in the local market.
Echoing Tagore’s Love for the Monsoons
Authors: Guha Sukanya
Published: December 2020

In India, Bengal’s most celebrated literary figure, Rabindranath Tagore, was specifically sensitive regarding the various seasons occurring in India. The monsoon and its relation with Tagore’s songs is the main focus of this paper. The monsoon, when Mother Nature spreads her beauty by unravelling her bounty treasures, is richly expressed by Tagore. In the composition for the khanika (poem) ‘Asho nai tumi phalgune’ [you did not come in the spring season] Tagore says: “when I awaited eagerly for your visit in the spring, you didn’t come. Please, don’t make me wait any longer and do come during the full monsoon”. In another of his songs he visualises on a cloudy sunless day, a person’s longing to share his or her deepest treasure of feeling for that particular important person ‘Emon ghonoghor boroshaye’ [in this heavy downpour] (Tagore 2002: 333, song 248). Through these poetic compositions and many more, one may understand the depth in Tagore’s understanding of the human’s emotional details regarding this specific season. The monsoon may also be disastrous. According to Tagore’s a composition ‘Bame rakho bhoyonkori’ [keep aside the destructions] (Tagore 2002: 394, song 58) he describes as well as wishes that the monsoon keeps away the damage or distress from people’s lives. His tunes blend with his words and emotions, not to mention the ragas that are believed to be related with rain that is popular to the Indian subcontinent such as Rag Megh or Rag Mian ki Malhar. These have been affluently used by Tagore to create emotional feelings through his words. He expresses being a philosopher with whom people can find a connection, irrespective of their regional background.
GIVING IN AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Abd Jalil Mohamad Isa
Published: December 2020

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to shed light on the underlying concept of giving in the perspective of Islam. Methodologically, this study employs qualitative systematic data processing approach. The conceptual framework is developed from the Quran, Hadith, and the story of the Prophet and his companions. This study also refers to a conventional theory such as Altruism, Socially Consumer Behaviour, and Social Exchange Theory. Several previous empirical studies were also recorded to support the proposition. This study proposes four variables that might influence people to give, namely, targhîb, tarhîb, ihsân and ikhwah. By realizing many other factors that may influence the giving behaviour, this study only focuses on the Islamic religious perspective. This article also brought opportunities to investigate conceptually and empirically other factors that could affect giving behaviour. To the best of the author’s information, there is only a small number of studies that have been done concerning the influence of religion towards giving behaviour. And it is at his juncture the novelty of this study lies.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini berupaya menjelaskan konsep dasar dari “memberi” dalam perspektif Islam. Secara metodologis, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan pemrosesan data sistematis kualitatif. Kerangka konsep dikembangkan dari al-Qur’an, Hadis, dan kisah atau atsâr para sahabat Nabi Muhammad SAW. Kajian ini juga merujuk kepada teori konvensional seperti Altruism, Socially Consumer Behavior, dan teori Social Exchange. Beberapa kajian empirik sebelumnya juga dirujuk untuk mendukung proposisi tersebut. Penelitian ini mengemukakan empat variabel yang mungkin memengaruhi manusia untuk memberi, yaitu, targhîb, tarhîb, ihsân dan ikhwah. Dengan menyadari faktor-faktor lain yang dapat memengaruhi perilaku memberi, penelitian ini hanya berfokus pada perspektif agama Islam. Artikel ini juga membawa peluang untuk menyelidiki secara konseptual dan empiris berbagai faktor lain yang dapat memengaruhi perilaku memberi. Sejauh pengetahuan penulis, hanya ada sejumlah kecil studi yang telah dilakukan mengenai pengaruh agama terhadap perilaku memberi. Di sinilah letak kebaruan dari penelitian ini.

THE PERSPECTIVES OF ACEHNESE ULAMA AND EDUCATION EXPERTS IN SHAPING IAIN LHOKSEUMAWE AS CAMPUS OF CIVILIZATION
Authors: Daud Al Husaini M , Usman Munadi , Nuraini Nuraini
Published: December 2020

Abstract: This article discusses about a search of the resources of Islamic Civilization as perceived by Acehnese Islamic scholars and education practitioners in the context of shaping a campus of civilization. This study is a qualitative research applying phenomenology approach. Most data were acquired from informants who are directly related to the theme in question. From the results of the field data, it was found that the main sources of a solid civilization, according to scholars and figures of Aceh education, were the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet, the plurality of Islamic societies, and the results of external Islamic civilization. The three main sources of Islamic civilization became the initial basis for the development of a civilized campus in its true meaning.

Abstrak: Tulisan ini mendiskusikan tentang pencarian sumber-sumber peradaban Islam menurut para ulama dan tokoh pendidikan Aceh dalam membentuk kampus peradaban. Seluruh kajian dalam penelitian ini secara eklektik tergolong ke dalam penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi. Data dalam tulisan ini dikumpulkan melalui wawancara terhadap para informan yang berkaitan langsung dengan tema dimaksud. Dari hasil analisis data ditemukan bahwa sumber-sumber utama tegaknya peradaban yang kokoh menurut ulama dan tokoh pendidikan Aceh adalah al-Qur’an dan Sunnah Rasulullah, pluralitas masyarakat Islam, dan hasil peradaban eksternal Islam. Ketiga sumber utama peradaban Islam tersebut menjadi basis awal bagi perkembangan kampus yang berperadaban dalam makna yang sesungguhnya.

The processing of the hodograph data of a monopulse georadar with wireless synchronization is similar to the method of reflected waves in seismic prospecting but has particular differences. The paper describes for the first time the effect of the appearance of steps in the image of the recorded video signal when the receiving and transmitting units of the georadar are moving apart on the example of studies in the mine workings of a potassium salt deposit. Using a kinematic correction in GPR in consideration with the effect of synchronization via electromagnetic wave is especially important for deep research with a large spacing of antenna units.
De América Latina a Brasil: la política exterior argentina frente a Estados Unidos
Authors: Miranda Roberto
Published: December 2020

La relación de Argentina con Estados Unidos fue históricamente inestable, en gran medida atravesada por la discordia recurrente entre ambos países. La política exterior argentina, con vocación autonomista, trató de moderar la influencia de Washington sobre sus decisiones y acciones mediante alternativas destinadas a abrir o ampliar márgenes de maniobrabilidad internacional. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la alternativa elegida por la política exterior argentina para afrontar la hegemonía estadounidense en dos momentos diferentes, con el fin de describir y evaluar la materialización autonomista de tal política. Uno de los momentos fue el escenario de la Guerra Fría en el cual los gobiernos democráticos optaron por priorizar América Latina y los países de esta región. El otro escenario fueron los primeros años de la actual centuria, en los cuales los gobiernos kirchneristas privilegiaron Sudamérica y los países de esta subregión. La conclusión es que Argentina, cuando se volcó a América Latina, relegó a Estados Unidos sin sustituirlo por otro actor poderoso, como así también alivió su dependencia con el hegemón cuando concentró su política exterior en Sudamérica, aunque en este caso reforzó la dependencia con Brasil.
Descuento de flujos de fondos, inflación, tipo de cambio y COVID-19: un modelo aplicado en el mercado argentino
Authors: Milanesi Gastón S.
Published: December 2020

La actual crisis sanitaria se traduce en un cisne negro que impactó en todas las economías. A diferencia de otras crisis cuyo impacto fue general, esta afectó determinados segmentos de negocios. En particular aquellos con mercados enfocados al transporte, ocio y consumo discrecional, con uso intensivo de factor humano para operaciones y significativo apalancamiento financiero aplicado a significativos stocks de capital. En esa línea los modelos de valuación de empresa, más que nunca, deben apoyarse en los fundamentos de valor y los riesgos macroeconómicos. Argentina, como mercado emergente, suma la dificultad del importante proceso inflacionario. El trabajo propone un modelo de valuación donde los riesgos propios y fundamentos de valor son incorporados en los flujos proyectados y los riesgos sistémicos son contenidos en las tasas. El modelo plantea la valuación en dos monedas, curso legal y dólares EE.UU., en el marco de las teorías de paridad de tipos de interés y poder adquisitivo. El valor de la firma será función del crecimiento real de los ingresos y la vuelta a niveles de márgenes operativos prepandemia, variables analizadas con método de simulación Monte Carlo. El funcionamiento del modelo se ilustra mediante la valuación de las empresas cotizantes en el mercado local al 12 de junio del 2020, exponiendo una destrucción de valor intrínseco medido en dólares del 38%.
Los consorcios rurales: un análisis de los modelos normativos provinciales de Chaco, Salta y Buenos Aires
Authors: Ruiz Haraví Eloísa
Published: December 2020

Los estados provinciales argentinos utilizan estructuras consorciales diseñadas para articular actores públicos y privados en aras del cumplimiento de determinados objetivos de índole económica, o para el desarrollo de funciones típicamente de naturaleza estatal como lo son el mantenimiento de caminos rurales, de canales de riego o la distribución y control del uso del agua. En el presente trabajo realizaremos una breve descripción de las modalidades más comunes de estructuración de esta figura a nivel provincial, tomando como ejemplo normativa de Chaco, Salta y Buenos Aires. Analizaremos también sus encuadres jurídicos, la modalidad de financiamiento que prevén y su eficacia para lograr los objetivos que se proponen.

This paper aims to explore the selection process of teaching faculties at Tribhuvan University (TU) concerning Mathis et al. (2012) approach. For achieving this purpose, I employed socio-constructivism with a narrative inquiry, research design in this study. The information is collected from 2 informants via in-depth interviews and discussed with supporting the several kinds of literature. This study explores the application forms, selection test, interview, appointment, and placement as the selection process employed on TU. This selection process seems not adequate for TU for selecting the quality candidates to perform high work productivity and organizational effectiveness.
Az „instagramolható divat” fogalma és jelenségei
Authors: Keszeg Anna
Published: December 2020

Jelen tanulmány kiindulópontját az a feltételezés adja, hogy a kommunikáció- és médiatudomány egyik elsődleges feladata a médiagyakorlataink mögötti hétköznapi fogalmak és használati logikák feltérképezése. Ezen általános megállapítást ezúttal az Instagram és a divatjelenségek közötti kölcsönhatás területén, különösen az „instagramolható divat” kifejezés megértésében érvényesítem. Választ keresek arra, hogy az Instagram öltözködéssel kapcsolatos posztjai a közösségi médiagyakorlatok milyen értelmezési hagyományai szerint érthetők meg. Másodsorban pedig felépítek egy tipológiát, mely alkalmas arra, hogy az instagramolható divat beszédmódjait rendszerezze. E tipológia a következő három elemből tevődik össze: (1) szórakoztatás-központú, vásárolható, kompetitív tartalmak; (2) cselekvésre sarkalló, slactivist, call-out kultúrához kapcsolódó tartalmak; (3) remixelt, virális, trash divattartalmak. Az instagramolható divat három működési modelljét néhány reprezentatív Instagram-fiók posztolási gyakorlatainak elemzésével támasztom alá.
Hype-ok a divatban
Authors: Maróy Krisztina
Published: December 2020

Az esszé a divat elmúlt évtizedekben egyre dominánsabbá váló jelenségét, a dropokat és a divatfelhajtást mutatja be. A streetstyle felől indult trend mára már a legnagyobb divatcégek működését, kommunikációját is befolyásolja. A túltermelés negatív következményeként a niche márkák kezdték el diktálni a divatot, és úgy tűnik, ők dominálják a divat jövőjét is, és az egész iparág előbb-utóbb léptékváltásra kényszerül. Az elemzés egy történeti és egy alkalmazott kérdésre keresi a választ: Hogyan fordult ekkorát négy évtized alatt a divatipar iránya? Hogyan lehet ma felkelteni a vásárlók figyelmét? E kérdések megválaszolásában esettanulmányokra hagyatkozik.
Comme des Femmes – Olga Neuwirth Orlando-operája és Rei Kawakubo jelmezei
Authors: Orbán Jolán
Published: December 2020

Olga Neuwirth Orlando című operájának ősbemutatója történelmet írt 2019. december 8-án Bécsben, mivel ez volt az első nő által szerzett opera a Bécsi Állami Operaház 150 éves történetében. Olga Neuwirth pontosan azért választotta Virginia Woolf regényét témaként és Rei Kawakubo divattervezőnőt, a Comme des Garçons divatcég alapítóját jelmeztervezőként, mert szerette volna felhívni a figyelmet arra, hogy a huszonegyedik században itt az ideje annak, hogy a nemek kérdése, valamint a nők által írt darabok és nők által tervezett ruhák is megjelenjenek az operaház színpadán. A bemutató által feltett kérdések közül hármat szeretnék vizsgálni ebben a szövegben: a kortárs opera és divat, Olga Neuwirth és Virginia Woolf, valamint Rei Kawakubo és Orlando találkozását.

İn Vitro Et’e Karşı Olan Tutumun Araştırılması: Erzurum Meslek Yüksekokulu Öğrencileri Örneği
Authors: Baran Alper
Published: December 2020

Artan dünya nüfusu nedeniyle ete olan talep günümüzde sürekli olarak artmaktadır. Mevcut kaynakların yetersiz oluşu, etik kaygılar, hayvan refahı gibi faktörler alternatif et kaynaklarının keşfi konusunda yeni çalışmalar yapmaya teşvik etmektedir. Bu alternatiflerden biri de temelde bir laboratuar ortamında üretilen in vitro ettir (IVE). IVE oldukça yeni ve bilinmeyen bir alternatif olduğundan, tüketicilerin ürüne karşı algılarının ve algılarını etkileyen parametrelerin ortaya konulmasıyla ilgili çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, mevcut araştırmamız, IVE’ye karşı genel tutumları araştırmak ve tüketicilerin tutumları üzerinde bazı öngörücü faktörlerin bir etkisi olup olmadığını incelemek için kurulmuştur. Çalışma Atatürk Üniversitesi Erzurum Meslek Yüksekokulunda okuyan 80 erkek ve 81 kadın öğrenci katılımcı kullanılarak kurulmuştur. Katılımcılara sorulan tüm sorular 1 ± 5 likert tipi ölçekte sunulmuştur. Katılımcılar IVE'yi denemeyeceklerini belirttiyse, diğer takip soruları sunulmamıştır. Daha sonra tüm katılımcılara, hangi koşullarda IVE'yi denemek istemeyeceklerini araştıran çok yönlü bir seçenek verilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler, öğrencilerin bir şekilde IVE tüketmeye istekli olduklarını göstermektedir. Diğer taraftan IVE tüketimi konusunda tat/görünüşün öncelikli engel olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, cinsiyet ve et türünün, IVE’ye yönelik tutumda en önemli değişkenler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ancak elde edilen tüm sonuçlar IVE algısı konusunda derin bir karmaşının olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışma küçük ölçekli olsa da, IVE’ye yönelik algıların ölçülmesinde önemli bir adım olduğu ve IVE konusu hakkında daha fazla araştırmanın gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur.
Evaluation of Fundus Examination of Hunting Dogs' Eyes Using a Smartphone-Based Camera
Authors: Şengöz Şirin Özlem
Published: December 2020

Fundus imaging with a smartphone-based camera has been reported in a limited number of literature, particularly in patient groups (pediatric/geriatric ie.) considered to be incompatible. In this study, by examining both eyes of 20 hunting dogs, multiple shooting series (20 sequential shooting automatic series with 1-second interval) and video sequence (a video that started shooting at 30-second and/or 60-second intervals) were recorded. The patients were first examined without any intervention. Afterwards, mydriatic drops were applied and the examination was repeated within the effective period. During the examination, optic disc nerve head, tapetum lucidum, non-tepatal region, retinal vessels, and choroid vessels were visualized in the posterior segment. Focal light artifacts were common when photographing the tapetum lucidum. The minimum light intensity was chosen to display the tapetum lucidum. No significant difference was observed between the examinations performed before the mydriatic drop and the examinations performed after the mydriatic drop. Further studies are recommended to formally assess clinical benefit.
Novel Schemes for Cauchy-Riemann System of Equations with Cauchy Conditions
Authors: NASEEM Tahir , SOHAİL Muhammad , ZEB Hajra
Published: December 2020

This communication deals with the analytical solutions of Cauchy problem for Cauchy-Riemann system of equations which is basically unstable according to Hadamard but its solution exists if its initial data is analytic. Here we used the Vectorial Adomian Decomposition (VAD) method, Vectorial Variational Iteration (VVI) method, and Vectorial Modified Picard’s Method (VMP) method to get the convergent series solution. These suggested schemes give analytical approximation in an infinite series form without using discretization. These methods are effectual and reliable which is demonstrated through six model problems having variety of source terms and analytic initial data.

Predicting healthcare seeking behavior based on stated readiness to act: Development and validation of a prediction model
Authors: Green Eric , Pradheep Shyam , Heinzelman Jessica , Nyanchoka Anne , Achieng Daphine , Goyal Siddhartha , Cusson Laura , Kurz A Solomon , Bellows Benjamin
Published: December 2020

Introduction. A starting point of many digital health interventions informed by the Stages of Change Model of behavior change is assessing a person’s readiness to change. In this paper we use the concept of readiness to develop and validate a prediction model of health seeking behavior in the context of family planning. Methods. We conducted a secondary analysis of routinely collected, anonymized health data submitted by 4,088 female users of a free health chatbot in Kenya. We developed a prediction model of (future) self-reported action by splitting the data into training and test data sets and further split the training data into 10 folds for cross-validating the hyperparameter tuning step in model selection. We fit nine different classification models and selected the model that maximized the area under the receiver operator curve. We then fit the selected model to the full training dataset and evaluated the performance of this model on the holdout test data. Results. The model predicts who will visit a family planning provider in the future with high precision (0.93) and moderate recall (0.75). Using the Stages of Change framework, we concluded that 29 percent of women were in the “Preparation” stage, 21 percent were in the “Contemplation” stage, and 50 percent were in the "Pre-Contemplation stage. Discussion. We demonstrated that it is possible to accurately predict future healthcare seeking behavior based on information learned during the initial encounter. Models like this may help intervention developers to tailor strategies and content in real-time.
Tasks, Talkers and the Perceptual Learning of Time-Compressed Speech
Authors: Tarabeih-Ghanayim Maram , Lavner Yizhar , Banai Karen
Published: December 2020

Many auditory skills improve with practice, but the generalization of this learning to untrained materials is limited. Here, we asked whether the type of practice (semantic or accent judgment) and talker variability (defined as the number of different talkers encountered during practice, two or six), influenced the perceptual learning of time-compressed speech and its generalization to unpracticed materials. Four groups of participants trained on the four task/talker variability combinations, and their pre- and post-training recognition of time-compressed speech was compared to that of a group of untrained participants (n = 14-16 participants/group). Across groups, training led to substantial learning of the trained tokens and to generalization to new talkers producing previously encountered sentences (compared to the untrained control group). However, neither type of training had a significant effect on the recognition of new sentences, even for familiar talkers. Semantic training yielded more learning and better retention of learning over a 2 week interval than accent training. The number of talkers had only marginal effects. These results suggest that learning of time-compressed speech is robust and only partially task specific, but its generalization to untrained tokens following brief practice is limited. In contrast to other types of speech training, here exposure to a variety of talkers during training did not contribute to the transfer of learning to new materials.

Authors: Zhelnov Pavel
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUNDObjectives. 1. Identify and monitor most of published systematic reviews. 2. Tag the identified systematic records with medical specialties. 3. Select or crowdfund reviews for further appraisal. 4. Critically appraise and replicate the selected systematic reviews. 5. Disseminate practice implications of positively appraised reviews to both the public and evidence-based practitioners in health care and other fields associated with intervention into a human life, such as education, business, policy, or ecology.METHODSEligibility criteria. Record eligibility is assessed by checking the record title and, if the title failed, abstract against the ‘true positive criteria’ for systematic reviews taken from the publication by Shojania & Bero, 2001 (PMID 11525102). The record/study flow is as follows: All eligible records are amenable for tagging, selection, and crowdfunding process; Only those eligible records that have been selected or crowdfunded are subject to critical appraisal; For all records that have been selected, all relevant reports are collected; Reports are grouped into studies; Only for the studies appraised positively, practical implications are summarized and disseminated.

Background. Digital twins have advanced fast in various industries, but are just emerging in postharvest supply chains. A digital twin is a virtual representation of fresh horticultural produce. This twin is linked to the real-world product by sensors supplying data of the environmental conditions near the target fruit or vegetable. Statistical and data-driven twins quantify how fresh-produce quality loss occurs by grasping patterns in the data. Physics-based twins provide an augmented insight into the underlying physical, biochemical, microbiological and physiological processes, enabling to explain also why this quality loss occurs.Scope and Approach. We identify what the key advantages are of digital twins and how the fresh-produce supply chain can benefit from them in the future. Key Findings and Conclusions. A digital twin has a huge potential to help horticultural produce to tell its history as it drifts along throughout its postharvest life. The reason is that each shipment is subject to a unique and unpredictable set of temperature and gas atmosphere conditions from farm to consumer. Digital twins help to identify the resulting, largely uncharted, postharvest evolution of food quality. The benefit of digital twins particularly comes forward for perishable species and at low airflow rates. Digital twins provide actionable data for exporters, retailers, and consumers, such as the remaining shelf life for each shipment, on which logistics decisions and marketing strategies can be based. The twins also help diagnose and predict potential problems in supply chains that will reduce food quality and induce food loss. Twins can even suggest preventive shipment-tailored measures to reduce retail and household food losses.
Terapi Permainan dan Humor dalam Konseling

Bermain dan humor adalah seni tingkat tinggi; Namun, karena kurang konkretnya dan strukturnya, mereka sering kurang dimanfaatkan, tidak dihargai, dan terkadang disalahpahami (Ness, 1989; Schaefer & Reid, 1986). Mungkin alasan pengabaian dan kebingungan mereka adalah karena konseling dianggap sebagai pekerjaan yang serius dan dianggap cukup berlawanan dengan kesenangan.

Precise Answers to Vague Questions: Issues With Interactions
Authors: Rohrer Julia M. , Arslan Ruben C.
Published: December 2020

Psychological theories often invoke interactions but remain vague regarding the details. As a consequence, researchers may not know how to properly test them and may potentially run analyses that reliably return the wrong answer to their research question. We discuss three major issues regarding the prediction and interpretation of interactions. First, interactions can be removable in the sense that they appear or disappear depending on scaling decisions, with consequences for a variety of situations (e.g., binary or categorical outcomes, bounded scales with floor and ceiling effects). Second, interactions may be conceptualized as changes in slope or changes in correlations, and because these two phenomena do not necessarily coincide, researchers might draw wrong conclusions. Third, interactions may or may not be causally identified, and this determines which interpretations are valid. Researchers who remain unaware of these distinctions might accidentally analyze their data in a manner that returns the technically correct answer to the wrong question. We illustrate all issues with examples from psychology and issue recommendations for how to best address them in a productive manner.

How does(n't) syntactic context guide auditory word recognition?
Authors: Gaston Phoebe , Lau Ellen , Phillips Colin
Published: December 2020

Better understanding of word recognition requires a detailed account of how top-down and bottom-up information are integrated. In this paper, we use a combination of modeling and experimental work to investigate the mechanism by which expectations from syntactic context influence the processing of perceptual input during word recognition. The distinction between facilitatory and inhibitory mechanisms for the syntactic category constraint is an important aspect of this problem that has previously been underspecified, and syntactic category is a relatively simple test case for the issue of context in other domains. We first report simulations in jTRACE that point to an explanation for conflicts that have occurred between different methods regarding the existence and timing of syntactic constraints on lexical cohort competition. We show that the composition of the set of response candidates allowed by the task is predicted to influence whether and when changes in lexical activation can be observed in dependent measures, which is relevant for the design and interpretation of experiments involving cohort competition more broadly. These insights informed a new design for the visual world paradigm that distinguishes facilitatory and inhibitory mechanisms and ensures that activation of words from the wrong syntactic category should be detectable if it is occurring. We demonstrate how failure to ensure this could have obscured such activation in previous work, leading to the appearance of an inhibitory constraint. We find that wrong-category competition does occur, a result that is incompatible with an inhibitory syntactic category constraint.

Dictatorship, Higher Education, and Social Mobility
Authors: Bautista María Angélica , González Felipe , Martinez Luis R. , Muñoz Pablo , Prem Mounu
Published: December 2020

We study the effect of political regime change on higher education and its distributional and political consequences. We focus on the 1973 coup that brought Augusto Pinochet to power in Chile. The Pinochet dictatorship’s aims of political control and fiscal conservatism led to a large reduction in the number of openings for new students across all universities. Individuals that reached college age shortly after the coup experienced a sharp decline in college enrollment, had worse labor market outcomes throughout the life cycle and struggled to climb up the socioeconomic ladder. This contraction of higher education disproportionately affected applicants from less affluent backgrounds and plausibly contributed to the increase in inequality observed under Pinochet. We further show that individuals exposed to reduced access to college registered to vote at higher rates for the 1988 plebiscite that triggered Chile’s democratic transition and we provide suggestive evidence that they increasingly voted against Pinochet.
Reading the city through its neighbourhoods: Deep text embeddings of Yelp reviews as a basis for determining similarity and change
Authors: Olson Alex , Calderón-Figueroa Fernando , Bidian Olimpia , Silver Daniel , Sanner Scott
Published: December 2020

This paper develops novel methods for using Yelp reviews as a window into the collective representations of a city and its neighbourhoods. Basing analysis on social media data such as Yelp is a challenging task because review data is highly sparse and direct analysis may fail to uncover hidden trends. To this end, we propose a deep autoencoder approach for embedding the language of neighbourhood-based business reviews into a reduced dimensional space that facilitates similarity comparison of neighbourhoods and their change over time. Our model improves performance in distinguishing real and fake neighbourhood descriptions derived from real reviews, increasing performance in the task from an average accuracy of 0.46 to 0.77. This improvement in performance indicates that this novel application of embedded language analysis permits us to uncover comparative trends in neighbourhood change through the lens of their venues' reviews, providing a computational methodology for reading a city through its neighbourhoods. The resulting toolkit makes it possible to examine a city's current sociological trends in terms of its neighbourhoods' collective identities.
Active Maintenance: A Proposal for the Long-term Computational Reproducibility of Scientific Results
Authors: Peer Limor , Orr Lilla , Coppock Alexander
Published: December 2020

Computational reproducibility, or the ability to reproduce analytic results of a scientific study on the basis of publicly available code and data, is a shared goal of many researchers, journals, and scientific communities. Researchers in many disciplines including political science have made strides towards realizing that goal. A new challenge, however, has arisen. Code too often becomes obsolete within just a few years. We document this problem with a random sample of studies posted to the ISPS Data Archive; we encountered nontrivial errors in seven of 20 studies. In line with similar proposals for the long-term maintenance of data and commercial software, we propose that researchers dedicated to computational reproducibility should have a plan in place for "active maintenance" of their analysis code. We offer concrete suggestions forhow data archives, journals, and research communities could encourage and reward the active maintenance of scientific code and data.

Normal menstrual cycle is an important physiology for maintaining woman’s health status during reproductive stage. Any type of abnormality in normal Rituchakra (menstrual cycle) cause menstrual disorders, which are the main reasons for gynaecological consultations in worldwide. Hypomenrrhoea is a common menstrual disorder found in present era due to changes in their life style like restlessness due to stressful day to day routine and strain due to their work place environment. A 24 years old Muslim married (since 2 years) patient present with the complaints of scanty menstrual flow (Duration-6days, No. of pad used-2pad 1st day not fully soaked then 1 pad/day not fully soaked) and lower abdominal pain (++) with pain and burning sensation during coitus for 1 year. In Ayurveda it can be correlated with Artavakshaya due to their strong symptom equality. Ratio of Artavakshaya is rising in present gynaecological practice which may leads to cause infertility and other serious problems which are untreatable. In modern science they prescribe only hormonal preparations as a treatment. Many patients observe some adverse effects with reoccurrence of problem when hormonal preparation stops so they prefer to take Ayurvedic preparation for it. Hence, Shatapushpa Churna is selected for the case study which has Agneya properties, Kapha Shamaka & Aacharya Kashyapa also quote it as Ritupravritani.
