Hamiltonian approach to deriving the gravity equations for a 3D-brane universe
Authors: Sharipov Ruslan Abdulovich
Published: August 2023

Recently, using the concept of temporal coexistence, some arguments were suggested saying that our universe should be considered as a three-dimensional brane equipped with a Riemannian metric depending on the cosmological time. The Lagrangian approach to this 3D-brane model of the universe shows that the number of gravity equations in this model is less than it follows from Einstein’s equation written in 3D+1 presentation thus making this 3D-brane model a separate non-Einsteinian theory of gravitation. In the present paper we continue the research of this theory developing a Hamiltonian approach to it.
A Differential Datalog Interpreter
Authors: Stephenson Matthew
Published: August 2023

The core reasoning task for datalog engines is materialization, the evaluation of a datalog program over a database alongside its physical incorporation into the database itself. The de-facto method of computing it, is through the recursive application of inference rules. Due to it being a costly operation, it is a must for datalog engines to provide incremental materialization, that is, to adjust the computation to new data, instead of restarting from scratch. One of the major caveats, is that deleting data is notoriously more involved than adding, since one has to take into account all possible data that has been entailed from what is being deleted. Differential Dataflow is a computational model that provides efficient incremental maintenance, notoriously with equal performance between additions and deletions, and work distribution, of iterative dataflows. In this paper we investigate the performance of materialization with three reference datalog implementations, out of which one is built on top of a lightweight relational engine, and the two others are differential-dataflow and non-differential versions of the same rewrite algorithm, with the same optimizations.

Expert-adapted language models improve the fit to reading times
Authors: Skrjanec Iza , Broy Frederik Yannick , Demberg Vera
Published: August 2023

The concept of surprisal refers to the predictability of a word based on its context. Surprisal is known to be predictive of human processing difficulty and is usually estimated by language models. However, because humans differ in their linguistic experience, they also differ in the actual processing difficulty they experience with a given word or sentence. We investigate whether models that are similar to the linguistic experience and background knowledge of a specific group of humans are better at predicting their reading times than a generic language model. We analyze reading times from the PoTeC corpus (Jäger et al. 2021) of eye movements from biology and physics experts reading biology and physics texts. We find experts read in-domain texts faster than novices, especially domain-specific terms. Next, we train language models adapted to the biology and physics domains and show that surprisal obtained from these specialized models improves the fit to expert reading times above and beyond a generic language model.
temporal discounting predicts procrastination in a real-world task
Authors: Zhang Peiyuan , Ma Wei Ji
Published: August 2023

People procrastinate, but why? One long-standing hypothesis is that temporal discounting drives procrastination: in a task with a distant future reward, the discounted future reward fails to provide sufficient motivation to initiate work early. However, empirical evidence for this hypothesis has been lacking. Here, we used a long-term real-world task and a novel measure of procrastination to examine the association between temporal discounting and real-world procrastination. To measure procrastination, we critically measured the entire time course of the work progress instead of a single endpoint, such as task completion day. This approach allowed us to compute a fine-grained metric of procrastination. We found a positive correlation between individuals’ degree of future reward discounting and their level of procrastination, suggesting that temporal discounting is a cognitive mechanism underlying procrastination. We found no evidence of a correlation when we, instead, measured procrastination by task completion day or by survey. This association between temporal discounting and procrastination offers empirical support for targeted interventions that could mitigate procrastination, such as modifying incentive systems to reduce the delay to a reward and lowering discount rates.

Published: August 2023

Background Trans and non-binary people may be at increased risk of alcohol harms, but little is known about motives for drinking in the United Kingdom trans and non-binary community. Aims This study explored the relationship between risk of alcohol dependence, experience of alcohol harms, drinking motives, gender dysphoria and discrimination within a United Kingdom sample of trans and non-binary people with a lifetime history of alcohol use.Methods A cross-sectional survey was co-produced with community stakeholders and administered to a purposive sample of trans and non-binary people from 1st February until 31st March 2022. A total of 462 respondents were included - 159 identified as non-binary and/or genderqueer, 135 solely as women, 63 solely as men, 15 as another gender identity and 90 people selected multiple identities.Results Higher levels of reported discrimination were associated with higher risk of dependence measured by AUDIT scores and more reported specific harms from drinking. Coping motives, enhancement motives, and drinking to manage gender dysphoria predicted AUDIT scores. The relationship between discrimination and risk of dependence was mediated by coping motives and drinking to manage gender dysphoria. Conclusions There is an urgent need to understand how to reduce discrimination against trans- and non-binary communities in order to reduce drinking to cope and alcohol harm. Interventions are needed which promote healthier strategies to cope with the myriad stressors unique to this population. Social and enhancement functions of alcohol could be replaced by alcohol free supportive social spaces.
Integration of facial and contextual cues in emotion inferences is limited and variable across categories and individuals
Authors: Goel Srishti , Jara-Ettinger Julian , Ong Desmond C. , Gendron Maria
Published: August 2023

The ability to make nuanced inferences about other people’s emotional states is central to social functioning. While emotion inferences can be sensitive to both facial movements and the situational context that they occur in, relatively little is understood about when these two sources of information are integrated across emotion categories and individuals. In a series of studies, we use one archival and five empirical datasets to demonstrate that people could be integrating, but that emotion inferences are just as well (and sometimes better) captured by knowledge of the situation alone, while isolated facial cues are insufficient. Further, people integrate facial portrayals more for categories for which they most frequently encounter facial expressions in everyday life (e.g., happiness). People are also moderately stable over time in their reliance on situational cues and integration of cues and those who reliably utilize situation cues more also have better situated emotion knowledge. These findings underscore the importance of studying variability in reliance on and integration of cues.

The Correlation Between PBL (Project-Based Learning) and Learning Motivation in ELT Classes
Authors: Maziidah Auliya Rahma , Dewi Dian Novita
Published: August 2023

In recent times, learners are required to have the skill of the 21st century, such as collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and technology used as the impact of a more digitized and globalized era. One of the teaching methods which equipped student’s skill needs is PBL (Project-Based Learning). PBL is also named the effective method to apply because students are asked to create their learning content as the implementation of student-centered learning. This teaching method is widely used at any educational level and could enhance students’ motivation. Thus, to determine the correlation between the PBL teaching method and students’ learning motivation, the researcher conducted a study of 67 students in 11th grade at SMA Panjura Malang that opts for a correlation method with a quantitative approach. The questionnaire was adopted and analyzed, it showed that there is a correlation between the PBL learning method and students’ learning motivation in ELT classes. The result was a medium positive relation which means that PBL could be an alternative recommended method to apply in ELT classes.

Authors: Alam Imran , Gupta Rajeev Krishna , Bhargava Anuja , S M Faiz  , Srivastava Saurabh , Haider Fareya , Singh Abhijeet , Sharma Himanshu
Published: August 2023

Background: Otomycosis is a superficial mycotic infection of the external auditory canal. Clinical presentation, along with otoscopic findings, is sufficient to make the diagnosis in most of the cases. Treatment includes aural cleaning followed by the instillation of anti-fungal ear drops. In the recent years, there has been an increasing trend of antifungal resistance for the commonly used antifungals such as fluconazole and clotrimazole. Drug sensitivity patterns have also shown variability from one region to another.
Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the clinico-mycological profile along with antifungal susceptibility pattern and treatment outcome of primary otomycosis.
Materials and Methods: A total of 230 clinically diagnosed patients of primary otomycosis were included in this prospective study. Microbiological causes were evaluated by KOH wet mount and culture of samples collected from external auditory meatus using sterile swabs. Fungal culture was done on Sabouraud dextrose agar with chloramphenicol at 25°C and 37°C. Anti-fungal susceptibility test was done by disk diffusion method using medium Muller-Hilton agar with glucose and methylene blue. All the patients were treated with the removal of fungal debris with topical clotrimazole instillation and were followed up after 7 days. Non-responders were treated with topical itraconazole.
Results: Male-to-female ratio in study participants was 1:1.3. The most frequently observed risk factor was the instillation of oil in the ear (20%). Ear itching was the commonest symptom (70.9%). Positive fungal growth was seen in 203 (88.3%) cases. Aspergillus was present in 185 (91.1%) cases, followed by Candida in 18 (8.9%) cases. Voriconazole had the highest sensitivity followed by itraconazole. 167 (83.3%) patients responded to primary treatment (topical Clotrimazole), 36 (16.7%) patients were non-responders.
Conclusion: All the clinically suspected patients should be evaluated for fungal positivity, which may further guide in the selection of appropriate anti-fungal agents. Awareness regarding the predisposing factors for otomycosis in the general population may result in a significant drop in the incidence of otomycosis.
Disability in Aging People: Functioning Difficulties and Infrastructural Barriers
Authors: Khanal Kashi Nath
Published: August 2023

Disability is the physical, mental and psychological condition that prevents an individual to perform common type of day-to-day activities, and creates significant barrier in social participation. It includes health loss, status loss, and social loss. Disability snatches individual’s functioning capacities. Structural barriers restrict people with disabilities from full and effective participation in society. Disability is not a personal problem; it is shaped by the larger socio-cultural, geo-political and economic context of a nation. Also, there are perfect parallels between disability and aging. As people age, they experience multiple chronic illnesses. Thus, both the disability and aging require prompt service and extra care. Owing to the unfavorable socio-cultural environment, aging and disable people tend to keep their stories within without sharing them to others. Disabled people do not consider them as weak and inept, rather the negative perceptions of disability relegate people with disability to the background. Also, the contribution of currently-aging population in their past working-age deserves to be marked. Since ageing crosscuts disability, it becomes fundamental to analyze the functioning condition of ageing and disabled people, and their access to physical infrastructure. This paper concludes that the problems faced by aging and disabled people could be lessened if a friendly infrastructure is built.
Subversion of Patriarchal Discourse in Meridian
Authors: Chapagaee Rajendra Prasad
Published: August 2023

Walker in her novel Meridian, criticizes patriarchal society’s expectations of woman's roles and advocates about women's individuality and independence. The novel examines its title character Meridian’s emergence as a liberated strong woman. It observes Meridian's attempts to break the patriarchal tradition and how she brings an end to the racism and segregation. It also studies the lives and revolutionary activities of black women who played crucial roles to bring subversion in patriarchal discourse. Initially suspended black woman of patriarchal society, Meridian, the protagonist of the novel, becomes a liberated  woman as she knows what she should borrow from the past for the present to create a new future. She breaks most of the generally accepted patriarchal norms and values that govern her society. Though she grows up in the racist, sexist and patriarchal society, she rebels against oppressive systems to attain her self-identity and selfhood. She considers marriage a false institution and deserts it as a challenge to the patriarchal ideology. She challenges the patriarchal image of womanhood and motherhood and presents herself as a liberated woman rather than a submissive wife and loving mother. She disobeys the patriarchal rules made for women and rejects any of the life-narratives of her patriarchal society. She starts her journey in search of meaningful personal and political life. She subverts all sorts of patriarchal discourses dominant in racist and sexist society. She finally paves a path of liberty with self identity and selfhood for herself and for the whole women. The paper tracks Meridian’s experiences from her college life to her self-determining liberated woman of present.  She is free to love men without the burdens of marriage, sexual restriction and motherhood. It also explores black women's hidden strength, their beauty and feelings of sisterhood and wifehood. The study reveals how Meridian, revolts against the patriarchal ideologies to regain her lost identity and wholeness.

Ecofeminism and Plight of Women in the works of Virginia Woolf and Anita Desai
Authors: Raj Priyanka
Published: August 2023

The abstract is the humble attempt to present the role of women and their plight with respect to the modern novels in general but in the novels of Virginia Woolf and Anita Desai in particular. As we know that Feminism is a rapidly developing ideology and a women's liberation movement that aims to liberate women from their oppression by a male-dominated society for a long time. In its true sense, feminism is a call for greater recognition of women's accomplishments and rights. Feminist literature in English, such as Pride and Prejudice, is certainly not a recent awareness of women's rights. Although it certainly has come into its own in recent times. The assessment and examination of the depiction of women characters without help from anyone else or in relationship with their male partners, and the enthusiasm for female creators. The fact that these are now widely accepted critical practice from a feminist perspective is noteworthy. Both the writers Virginia Woolf and Anita Desai have tried to portray their characters in the way that discusses about the freedom struggle's legacy of gender equality, women's constitutional rights, the emphasis on women's education, and the new awareness among women brought about by electronic media are among the indigenous contributing factors. The Indian woman caught between tradition and modernity, burdened by the past and the present to abandon her aspirations, is the core of aspirations, and feminism in Indian literature is centered on her. In literary terms, it begins a search for one's identity and the self-definition of a woman.

Published: August 2023

Social innovation (SI) is one of the latest approaches for empowering the public sector (PS). Because of the bureaucratic nature of the PS, implementation of social innovations in PS faces many challenges. This study is trying to identify and prioritize these barriers and challenges focusing on the judicial sector. This study has used a mixed-method. In the qualitative stage, by reviewing the literature and applying the focus group interview method with 12 experts, 40 barriers and challenges were organized into seven categories. In the quantitative step, 18 experts that were identified based on the purposive sampling method have answered the questionnaire and the challenges were prioritized using a fuzzy TOPSIS method. The results showed that the lack of a proper regulatory system for social innovators is the main challenge the SI faces in the judicial system. Finally, structural, functional, and behavioral recommendations were provided to remove these barriers.
IMPACT OF THE SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION IN UKRAINE ON RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY IN 2022
Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences (MOSCOW), Vedeneev Ilia
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the consideration of the changes that have taken place in relations between Russia and Turkey in 2022 in connection with the conduct of a special military operation in Ukraine. It is concluded that the relationship did not take on a negative character, on the contrary, Russia and Turkey have new areas for cooperation. However, the conflict of interest persists in almost all areas of relations between countries. At the same time, not all areas of cooperation can be developed in full (primarily because of the threat of sanctions against Turkish individuals and companies interacting with Russia). Currently, Russia is doubling its trade turnover with Turkey, is implementing the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant and is also planning the creation of an «international gas hub» in Turkey. From our point of view, the main threat to Russian interests comes from too close cooperation with Turkey in the economy. The implementation of the gas hub project will be able to partially compensate for the loss of Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, but it is fraught with becoming dependent on Turkish policy on other issues, in particular, in the Middle East and the South Caucasus.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE ENVOY REZANOV’ S ACTIONS ON THE OUTCOME OF THE EMBASSY MISSION AND ON THE SUBSEQUENT EVENTS IN RUSSO-JAPANESE RELATIONS
Authors:   Togliatti State University, Kondratyeva Mariia
Published: August 2023

The article examines the influence of the personality of the Russian ambassador Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov on Russian-Japanese relations. The embassy of Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov to Japan ended in failure and gave rise to new sad events in Russian-Japanese relations. Among such events are the Khvostov incident (also known as the Rezanov-Davydov-Khvostov incident), when some Japanese villages and crafts on Sakhalin were robbed and burned, and the Golovnin incident, when the Russian navigator Vasily Mikhailovich Golovnin was captured by the Japanese and held in captivity for two years. The author made an attempt to find out the role of the personality of the envoy in all the listed events. An analysis of historiography has shown that researchers have repeatedly turned to the results of Rezanov’s embassy and to the analysis of his personality, coming to opposite conclusions about the envoy’s absolute guilt or complete innocence in the failure of the mission. The involvement of a wide range of sources, as well as the use of the induction method, allowed the author to come to new conclusions: the failure was not in one, but in a complex of reasons. Along with such reasons as poorly selected goods and the prejudiced attitude of the Japanese of that time towards the Russian people, the actions of Nikolai Petrovich influenced the failure of the mission. However, the main role was played by the isolation policy of the Japanese state, which, having begun in the middle of the 17th century, was firmly entrenched in Japanese society. As for the role of the envoy in relations with Japan, it is greatest in the sad story of the robbery of Japanese villages, which had a negative impact on relations with Japan.

Published: August 2023

The trend of topics in language education research is affected by how authors convince readers about the issues being discussed.
