Liberation Theology of Leftist Islam in the Thought of Hassan Hanafi and its Contextualization
Authors: Negara Muhammad Adress Prawira , Hannah Neng
Published: October 2023

Theology is one of the critical factors for the survival of Muslims. However, with the shift in all aspects included in the lives of Muslims, theology cannot adjust or even solve all the problems occurring in the body of Islam. This research aimed at discussing and studying the theology of Leftist Islam in the thought of Hassan Hanafi to obtain its authenticity. The method used in this study was the historical-philosophical method. This historical method is to describe the history and development of Islamic theology. In comparison, the philosophical method examines a character's thoughts and analyzes the thoughts being studied. The results of this study explained that Leftist Islam is an idea, concept, and new theology initiated by Hassan Hanafi in response to the challenges of the West. In the Leftist Islam, Hassan Hanafi has three crucial elements, namely revitalizing the classical scientific tradition, opposing Western civilization, and analyzing the reality of Muslims.
Gamification and biofeedback for acute pain management
Authors: Viana Andrei Mateus Delgado , Szekely Anna
Published: October 2023

In this pilot study, two gamification methods were used to control pain, while assessing participants' pain experiences. We applied two baselines and two test conditions in a within subject design. In the latter, EDA biofeedback was used within an effortful control task (Calm The Waves) as well as a visual distraction task: the Hidden Objects Game. Both methods were hypothesized to reduce the subjective and objective (psychophysiological) pain experience in the Cold Pressor Test, a common test of induced acute pain. Participants were invited to immersetheir hand in an iced-water tank for a maximum of 2 minutes. We had a total of 22 participants, however, 2 had to be excluded as per not meeting the inclusion criteria. The main outcome expected was pain resistance over the two-minutes tasks, measured objectively by the EDA levels and subjectively, by the Visual Rate Scale. In addition, we expected that previous CTW training would be an important factor in pain experience. We found that the level of EDA was different in the four conditions, however, regardless of the initial EDA level we could detect a decrease throughout the painful stimulation In conclusion, both methods were efficient to reduce objective and subjective pain. This pilot study opens a door for further explorations with Biofeedback as a promising technique in pain management.

Seeing the teacher through my peers’ eyes? A social network study on adolescents' teaching quality perceptions
Authors: Bardach Lisa
Published: October 2023

Classrooms are social arenas, and during adolescence, the importance of peer relations peaks. Prior research has documented the pervasive influence that peers can exert on many aspects of adolescents’ lives, including their academic outcomes. However, knowledge on whether adolescents’ perceptions of their teacher and the quality of the teacher’s instruction are also prone to peer influences is lacking so far. The present longitudinal study with four measurement points (N = 248 German adolescents) addressed this gap. We focused on teaching quality in terms of the perceived level of teacher support in mathematics classes. Longitudinal social network analysis (a Bayesian random-coefficient multilevel version of Stochastic Actor-Oriented models, SAOMs) were employed to investigate whether (a) friends become more similar in their teaching quality perceptions (influence effects) and/or whether (b) students with initially more similar perceptions of teaching quality were more likely to become friends (selection effects). In addition, we explored whether (c) students with more positive teaching quality perceptions had a better (or worse) social standing in that they were more (or less) likely to be nominated as friends by their classmates and/or were more (or less) likely to nominate other classmates as friends. The results did not yield support for influence effects or for selection effects. However, students who rated their teacher’s instruction more positively were better integrated socially. This study adds to research on the role of peers in adolescence and enhances our understanding of peer influences on students’ perceptions of instruction.

Data-centric explainability and generating complex stories as explanations from machine learning models
Authors: yang yujia , banerjee soumya
Published: October 2023

One of the major limitations of most trained machine learning (ML) models is the lack of explainability, which makes them incomprehensible to humans. Particularly in the healthcare field, individual nuances can have serious implications for diagnosis, particularly from the viewpoint of treatment [1]. Therefore, it is important to ensure that model predictions are accurate. Furthermore, most people working in the healthcare field do not possess computer knowledge. They are not able to read the model's conclusions or predictions directly. Consequently, it is also necessary to translate the prediction results into a readable narrative. Our research focuses on the healthcare domain and compares and contrasts two main methods in explainable AI: class-contrastive explanations and TREPAN (tree-based explanations). The goal of this study is to generate complex stories (diagnoses) from both single-patient and group-patient perspectives in order to make predictions more understandable for a wider audience of patients. Class-contrastive techniques are widely used in various fields, especially in the healthcare field. In this method, class-contrastive counterfactual reasoning is applied to a machine learning model on tabular data features, observing the changes in prediction by altering the inputs and estimating the effects of a change in variables on the results [1]. This approach displays prediction results as heatmaps and hierarchical clustering visualisations, which are easier for ordinary people to follow and provide clearer visual and textual explanations. Aside from that, TREPAN is also an approach for extracting the neural network, increasing the explainability. It is a method for extracting symbolic neural network representations from a decision tree, including the concept represented in the network [17]. Due to its broader applicability, this algorithm is suitable for networks with larger dimensions and high-dimensional inputs [17]. Most importantly, both methods provide a visual representation of the prediction model. We will extend the feature from tabular data to numeric data, using class-contrastive techniques to generate a decision tree, compare it with TREPAN's tree, and reconcile conclusions obtained from both. The method in this work extracts from machine learning algorithms a complex explanation that can be interpreted by humans.

Published: October 2023

Categorization involves grouping information to make inferences and support noveldecisions. In the laboratory, category training commonly involves trial-and-error whereparticipants are instructed to classify stimuli and learn through feedback. Here, wetested across two experiments whether people can acquire category knowledge in anincidental manner by associating category members with other information that itself isstructured. Subjects were trained to remember specific associations consisting ofcartoon animals paired with animal-specific background scenes. Animals presented onforest vs. mountain scenes were members of two prototype-based categories, but thiswas not conveyed to the participants. Spontaneous category learning was tested byasking participants to guess habitat (mountains, forests) for old and new cartoonanimals without feedback. The results showed that participants spontaneously acquiredcategory knowledge, showing high categorization accuracy for new animals,comparable to a group that underwent a traditional feedback-based classificationtraining with the same stimuli. Strategy analysis showed that the majority of participantsin both groups abstracted the central tendency of the categories, albeit a somewhatlarger proportion of subjects relied on memory for specific training exemplars afterpaired-associate learning than classification training. No evidence was found thatcategory learning happened at the expense of memory for specific animal-sceneassociations. Overall, the findings show that despite the goal to remember specificinformation that required differentiation of stimuli within categories, subjects canspontaneously acquire category knowledge, generalizable to novel stimuli in a waycomparable to traditional classification training. This work provides new insights intohow category learning can proceed under more naturalistic demands.

Irritability is a core symptom of depression in adolescence and a risk factor for emotion regulation problems. However, its neural correlates are not well understood. Existing fMRI research on irritability typically overlooks its social context. Here, we pilot a novel naturalistic fMRI paradigm targeting the social nature of irritability that was co-produced with young people and apply it in an independent sample of youth (N = 29, mean age 18.9 years, 77% female) with self-reported low mood. We first investigated whether graph theoretic and dynamical properties of functional brain networks differed between a resting state scan and our irritability paradigm before examining whether these brain features were associated with depressive symptoms and trait irritability. Using Leading Eigenvector Dynamics Analysis (LEiDA), we found that the dynamic properties of brain networks comprising default-mode and fronto-parietal regions differed significantly during the irritability paradigm compared to the rest condition. While no gross static topological differences were found between these two conditions, we found that some dynamic and topological features of emotion-related brain networks were related to trait irritability and depressive symptoms in our sample. Although the current findings are preliminary due to the pilot nature of this study, this work showcases the feasibility of co-produced research in neuroimaging and lays a strong foundation for further study.

Introduction: While research into adolescent mental health has developed a considerable understanding of environmental and psychosocial risk factors, equivalent biological evidence is lacking and is not representative of economic, social, and ethnic diversity in the adolescent population. It is important to understand the possible barriers and facilitators to conduct this research. This will then allow us to improve our understanding of how biology interacts with environmental and psychosocial risk factors during adolescence. The objective of this scoping review is to identify and understand the needs, barriers, and facilitators related to the collection of biological data in adolescent mental health research. Methods and analysis: Reviewers will conduct a systematic search of PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Cochrane, ERIC, EMBASE, ProQuest, EBSCO Global Health electronic databases, relevant publications, and reference lists to identify studies published in the English language at any time. This scoping review will identify published studies exploring mental health/psychopathology outcomes, with biological measures, in participants between the ages of 11-18, and examine the reported methodology used for data collection. Data will be summarised in tabular form with narrative synthesis and will use the methodology of Levac et al., (2010) [1], supplemented by subsequent recommendations from the Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping Review Methodology [2]. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval is not required for this scoping review. The scoping review will be conducted with input from Patient and Public Involvement (PPI), specifically including young people involved in our study ‘CELEBRATE’ (‘Co-producing a framework of guiding principles for Engaging representative and diverse cohorts of young people in Biological ReseArch in menTal hEalth’ - www.celebrateproject.co.uk) Youth Expert Working Group. Dissemination will include publication in peer-reviewed journals, academic presentations, and on the project website.
Stability and Spread: Transition Metrics that are Robust to Time Interval Misspecification
Authors: Daniel Katharine E , Moulder Robert Glenn , Southward Matthew W. , Cheavens Jennifer S. , Boker Steven M.
Published: October 2023

Intensive longitudinal data collected via ecological momentary assessment (EMA) are often sampled with unequal time spacing between surveys. Given the popularity of EMA data, it is important to understand whether time series methods are robust to such time interval misspecification. The present study demonstrates via simulation that stability and spread—a method for quantifying transitions within multivariate binary time series data—are unbiased metrics when applied to data that are collected along an off/on burst sampling schedule, a between-person random sampling schedule, and a within-person random sampling schedule. These results held in randomly generated data with differing numbers of timeseries variables (k=10 and k=20) and in data simulated based on the proportions of observed data from a prior EMA study. Further, stability and spread demonstrated approximately 95% coverage for all between- and within-person random sampling schedules. However, coverage for stability and spread was poor in the off/on burst sampling schedules (~67%). We also applied these transition metrics to a foundational EMA dataset that was among the first to show that adults regularly use many different emotion regulation strategies throughout their daily life (Heiy & Cheavens, 2014). As hypothesized, we found a stronger positive relation between mood and lower spread/higher stability in emotion regulation among people with fewer depressive symptoms than those with more depressive symptoms. Taken together, stability and spread appear to be appropriate metrics to use with data collected using common unequal time spacing conditions and can be used to uncover theoretically consistent insights in real psychosocial data.

Published: October 2023

This study undertakes an analysis of the implementation of Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) No. 1 of 2016 concerning Mediation Procedure I in the settlement of divorce cases during the COVID-19 pandemic at Religious Courts in Medan City, while also identifying inhibiting factors. A descriptive qualitative research method is employed due to the nuanced nature of the issues at hand. Key informants (Vice Chairman of the Religious Courts in Medan City), main informants (mediators), and additional informants (court clerks) constitute the research subjects. Data collection methods encompass observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis includes data reduction, presentation, conclusion drawing, and verification, with data validity confirmed through triangulation. The implementation of Perma No. 1 of 2016 is evaluated through the lens of Edward III's theory, encompassing communication, disposition, resources, and bureaucratic structure. However, the appointment of mediator judges remains suboptimal. Mediation of divorce cases at the Religious Courts in Medan City is perceived as less effective, supported by the limited number of successfully mediated cases. Inhibiting factors include the scarcity of mediator judges, inadequate accessibility to mediation rooms for many individuals, and a lack of public awareness regarding the significance of mediation in case settlements.

This article aims to analyze the fulfillment of Ecological Justice in the implementation of spatial policy in Palembang City based on the implementation of the international regime, namely SDG's point 11. The achievement of sustainable cities is a focus to see how the fulfillment of environmental justice is formed in the process of implementing regional spatial policy carried out in Palembang city. Using Kuehn's concept of Ecological Justice, look at the implementation of regional spatial policy with four aspects, namely distributive, corrective, procedural and social. An exploratory descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques used literature studies and interviews. The findings obtained include the implementation of distributive justice with various programs, however, the problem that is still the main obstacle is the need to pay attention to the city's green areas. In corrective justice, environmental policies already exist, but it is necessary to maximize law enforcement. In implementing procedural justice, policies are made that do not focus on targeting elements of community needs. The involvement of the community and NGOs in policy-making is still minimal. In terms of social justice, there is still a lot of community production land, open green areas, and protected land such as swamp land which is used as economic and residential areas which are exacerbated by regulations issued by the government which is a source of environmental damage. Through the findings above, it is hoped that policy formulation and implementation processes can be further maximized to achieve environmental justice in Palembang City.

The conflict that occurred in Wadas Village is a conflict that originated from a grassroots movement, has been going on for several years since 2013, and has not been resolved until now. In addition to conducting movements through offline actions, the community and non-governmental organizations that oppose mining plans also make efforts to spread actions and foster support by using social media. Connective action theory is used in this research, it is important to know the power of the #Wadasmengault hashtag who are the actors, and the network structure formed in this online movement. The method used in this research is Social Network Analysis (SNA). Data collection was carried out using Netlytic software, The results obtained are that the hashtag #Wadas Mengtinggian as an extension of offline action was less successful. Because the Reply, retweet, and mention activities are one-way. The dominant actors in hashtag conversations are NGO accounts and environmental organizations, the delivery of information only spreads among them and does not spread naturally to the wider community

Authors: Ailsa Vema , Santosa Imam
Published: October 2023

This article delves into the integration of retro fashion trends in chair design within Surabaya's café scene. Employing a descriptive qualitative research approach, this study seeks a profound comprehension of the impact of retro fashion trends on chair design. Data collection methods encompass theory development, observations, interviews, and questionnaire surveys. The analysis is rooted in predefined outcome variables. The study's findings underscore the substantial influence of the retro fashion trend on café chair design in Surabaya. Notably, Generation Z's consumer demand, characterized by heightened consumerism and a penchant for contemporary trends, plays a pivotal role in shaping fashion cycles and lifestyle choices. The enduring appeal of the retro trend, spanning from the 1970s to the present, resonates strongly with Generation Z, especially those who harbor nostalgic inclinations. Furthermore, the adaptation of retro fashion trends remains pertinent as a significant segment of the population still gravitates toward styles from the 1970s to the 1990s. This research reveals that Surabaya's café chair designs adeptly incorporate retro elements, encompassing material selection, silhouettes, colors, and styles. By seamlessly amalgamating these retro elements with contemporary influences, these chair designs effectively captivate consumers, fostering an inviting and appealing ambiance within the café environment.

The African National Congress and South Africa’s Public Service: A Crisis of Dominance and Accountability
Authors: Thusi Xolani , Mashamaite Kgalema
Published: October 2023

This article explores the impact of African National Congress-led government’s dominance on South Africa’s public service. On onehand, the African National Congress since the 1994 democratic elections had many achievements in advancing South Africa’s democracy and responding to the citizens’ needs through countless development and policy initiatives that were designed to cater to the basic needs of the citizens. On the other hand, it has become less responsive to citizen needs and this is evident as citizens have taken to the streets to protest for service provisions throughout the country. Citizens’ discontent can be seen in the rapid decline of the African National Congress’ political dominance and the formation of political coalitions. South African public service delivery has been marked by a lack of public accountability, corruption, cadre deployment, state capture, and procurement system manipulation as a result of the African National Congress’s dominance since the country’s first democratic elections. It is important to note that most South African citizens depend on the public sector and the African National Congress’s dominance in the public sector has damaged its ability to be responsive to citizens’ needs. This article relied on secondary sources, by reviewing current literature on the ramifications of having one political party dominating the country’s political space for decades.

By utilizing the Resource Based View theory, this research seek to establish the effect of affiliative leadership on project success. Thisstudy further examines the mediating role of team performance in the given relationship. The data was gathered from a sample of 300 project-team professionals employed within the IT sector of Pakistan. The PLS-SEM method was used to test the direct and mediating impacts. The findings indicated a significant influence of a affiliative leader on project success, with team performance playing a mediating role. The result showed that affiliative leader significantly influences project success and the team performance mediates the relationship between affiliative leadership and project success. This research stands out as one of the few studies that delve into the inter-relationships between affiliative leadership, project success, and team outcomes. It is worth noting that research in the developing countries context is notably scarce in this area. This study makes a significant contribution in IT sector by validating that affiliative leadership impacts project success while team performance mediates this relation. Our research brings a dual contribution to the literature, emphasizing the originality of our study. It establishes connections between affiliative leadership, team performance, and project success within the framework of the Resource-Based View, focusing on the unique context of the thriving IT sector in Pakistan. This originality extends our findings’ applicability to practitioners and researchers in diverse settings.

Authors: Everink Irma , Urlings Judith , Griffiths Alys , Verbeek Hilde , Haunch Kirsty , Spilsbury Karen , Hamers Jan , Devi Reena
Published: October 2023

Context: The Living Lab in Ageing and Long-Term Care (Netherlands) and Nurturing Innovation in Care Homes Excellence in Leeds (NICHE-Leeds; UK) are partnerships between science and care. The Scientific Linking Pin (SLP), a senior researcher employed by a university, works one day per week in a LTC organization, and has a pivotal role in the partnership.

Objective: To explore the nature of the SLP role

Methods: A qualitative approach was used. Fifteen individuals with at least one year’s experience as a SLP in the Living Lab or NICHE-Leeds participated in a semi-structured interview. Data were thematically analyzed. 

Findings: Participants described how the SLP role gave them insight into what matters to care organizations, and how it enabled them to impact LTC practice. Participants experienced the role to be multifaceted. Goals and activities performed by SLPs included developing relationships, raising awareness of the practice-science partnership, identifying (research) priorities and generating research questions, building committees, brokering knowledge, developing research studies, generating academic output, building links and connections, and assisting with internal projects. Challenges faced were mistrust by care staff and poor engagement, working with staff from different professional backgrounds, research not being a priority, multiple and rapidly changing priorities, and differences in expectations. SLPs addressed these challenges through relationship building, creating a ‘safe’ space for care staff, building engagement, and expectation management.

Implications: Partnership working in the care sector is gaining international recognition and adoption, and therefore it is useful to capture and share learning about successful implementation of our approach.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND IMPACT OF HIGHWAYS DURING OPERATION
Authors: Kharytonova Nataliia
Published: October 2023

The current state and rapid development of road construction and transport infrastructure are the reasons for the increase in environmental pollution, especially in the immediate vicinity of highways. Roadside areas accumulate a large amount of pollutants which leads to changes in soil properties and comprehensive degradation of landscapes. Together with the road runoff, pollutants enter the lakes and the rivers and cause significant damage to aquatic flora and fauna. During the operation of highways, a large amount of exhaust gases, oil products, heavy metals, and dust enters the natural environment. Currently, in Ukraine, most studies are aimed at reducing the negative impact of exhaust gases on the atmosphere, oil pollution of soils and the aquatic environment. Unlike in the European countries, the research on the formation of microparticles which, together with dust and surface runoff contaminate soils, surface and groundwater of roadside areas has not been conducted at all. This paper analyzes the European research experience on the negative impact of microparticles on the environment. The components of microparticles - micropollutants formed as a result of the interaction of vehicles with the road surface (tire wear products, road dust, road markings, etc.) are presented. The paper also presents the sources of formation, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the main micropollutants and their pathways in the roadside area. This will allow further developing the effective measures to reduce the formation and spread of micr

Hashtag merupakan salah satu fitur yang dimiliki oleh semua media sosial yang ada di Indonesia termasuk Instagram. Pengguna memanfaatkannya secara berbeda mengingat bahwa Instagram mempunyai keunggulan visual. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penulis membahas tentang bagaimana pengguna Instagram memanfaatkan fitur hashtag tersebut. Metode pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan wawancara dan observasi. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengguna tidak hanya memanfaatkan hashtag sesuai karakteristik dasarnya yaitu mengelompokkan topik sesuai kata kunci, tetapi juga menunjukkan identitas virtual yang dibangun dalam Instagram yang mungkin berbeda dari karakteristik pengguna di dunia nyata. Pengguna menggunakan hashtagtersebut secara konsisten agar mendapatkan perhatian pengguna lainnya serta sebagai pemandu dalam menemukan pengguna lain yang mempunyai ketertarikan yang sama terhadap identitas virtual yang telah dibentuk.

Effective and timely processing of information is one of the most important problems of creating means of its processing at the level of human perception and thinking. Analytical processing of digital signals in a graphical or purely digital representation is somewhat limited and does not take into account the dynamics of signals and messages. The classical apparatus of logic is insufficient to describe the dynamics of system behavior over time. Therefore, it is important to develop models of so-called Boolean differential calculus, as this approach is based on the general concept of changing the logical variable, which will lead to a universal, in terms of dynamics, system of concepts and operations. To facilitate the preprocessing of dynamic digital variables and signals, the logic-time function of multivalued logic can be used. The purpose of this article is a mathematical representation of the differentiation of logic-time functions of multi-valued logic in the index form of the record using the simulation of its scheme. The paper shows the expediency of the idea of replacing an arbitrary digital signal (variable) that changes over time with a logic-time function, which allows to facilitate the preliminary analytical processing of digital signals and variables using the properties of such functions. The article presents a new mathematical apparatus for describing logic-time functions of multivalued logic and individual operations on them using modeling of known implementation schemes. The paper considers the peculiarities of the derivative of the multivalued logical-time function (LMF), as one of the most used and basic operations used in the study of signals and images. Its characteristics and features are shown for functions presented in index form. The general expression of the derivative of the n order is obtained and it is shown that different logic-time functions can have the same derivative. The concepts of the left and right derivative of the LMF are introduced and the relationship between them is shown. The properties of the k derivative of the BLMF were considered and the expressions for the derivative conjunction and disjunction were obtained. A possible structural scheme of the differentiator is presented, which opens up the possibility of hardware processing of multi-valued LMFs.
Quatre formes du partage : une ethnographie sémiotique du partage
Authors: Maynadier Boris
Published: October 2023

Cet article propose une nouvelle perspective sur le concept de partage, à la suite de la controverse qui oppose les conceptions Belk (2010) et Arnould et Rose (2014, 2015). Quatre formes du partage sont identifiées, à partir d'une étude ethnographique conduite sur le terrain d'une petite ville et d'une analyse sémiotique. L'analyse est conduite sur la base d'un carré sémiotique par lequel les tensions systémiques entre les différentes formes du partage sont mises au jour. Les résultats révèlent une dynamique contingente des formes du partage. Les enjeux du partage ainsi que le concept de mutualité sont discutés à la lumière d'une conception élargie du partage.

The modern system of water resource management is based on the principles of best available techniques (BAT) in economy and other activities. It implies rational use of natural resources, their protection from harmful effects, creation of the integrated system for the natural resource–economy system. Shortcomings of the economic regulation in water management can be overcome by intensifying the transition to technological regulation via BAT. At present, the first stage of the implementing this system in Russia is completed in the field of environmental protection to minimize the negative environmental impact, including water resource management. The paper analyzes practical activities of water users to assess its effectiveness for the years 2019–2021 on the example of the Tom river from Kemerovo to its mouth in the Tomsk region. Positive trends in water quality are described. The development of the water-ecological situation in the study area is predicted. The obtained results will allow optimizing the water use in the region.
Stress-strain state model of split-level foundation of multi-storey building on a slope (Tomsk)

Published: October 2023

Purpose: The aim of the work is to provide a computational justification for the correct use of the linear/nonlinear deformation model of split-level foundation and criteria for transition to a pile foundation in a multi-storey building on a slope.

   Methodology: The finite-element model of stress-strain state of slab and pile foundations of the multi-storey building on a slope is developed by using MicroFe software package.

   Research findings: In calculating the split-level foundation using the Mohr-Coulomb criterion, the service limit state conditions in vertical displacements and slope are not satisfied, and it is not recommended to use the slab foundation. Thus, the slab foundation analysis with the use of only the linear deformable foundation model is insufficient. The pile operation in the presence of lateral earth pressure is characterized by the fact that the contour piles on the opposite slope side are significantly overloaded as compared with other piles. In addition, longitudinal forces of contour piles in the linear design, exceed the permissible calculated load on piles and the service limit state conditions are not thus satisfied.

   Originality: The nonlinear pile operation, when the longitudinal force in the pile is limited by the value corresponding to the permissible design load, allows the pile foundation to meet the service limit state conditions.
