‘Poland’ In: ‘Freedom of Assembly in Europe’
Authors: Moulin-Stozek Maria
Published: August 2021

The right to freedom of assembly is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Polish Constitution. The Law on Assemblies of 1990 regulates matters concerning assemblies in Poland such as procedure, protection and restrictions of assemblies. Authorities in Poland dispose of very limited discretion in prohibiting an assembly, and it is not the role of public officials or administrative courts to analyse ideas and concepts expressed at an assembly either through the prism of their own convictions or the convictions of mainstream society. The legal situation regulating spontaneous assemblies, counter-demonstrations, flash mobs and gatherings organised by means of new technologies is not accurately determined in the Polish legal system. In general, Polish regulations are consistent with the requirements of the European Commission for Democracy through Law.
Virtual Populations for Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Models

Published: August 2021

Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) places an emphasis on dynamic systems modeling, incorporating considerations from systems biology modeling and pharmacodynamics. The goal of QSP is often to quantitatively predict the effects of clinical therapeutics, their combinations, and their doses on clinical biomarkers and endpoints. In order to achieve this goal, strategies for incorporating clinical data into model calibration are critical. Virtual population (VPop) approaches facilitate model calibration while faced with challenges encountered in QSP model application, including modeling a breadth of clinical therapies, biomarkers, endpoints, utilizing data of varying structure and source, capturing observed clinical variability, and simulating with models that may require more substantial computational time and resources than often found in pharmacometrics applications. VPops are frequently developed in a process that may involve parameterization of isolated pathway models, integration into a larger QSP model, incorporation of clinical data, calibration, and quantitative validation that the model with the accompanying, calibrated VPop is suitable to address the intended question or help with the intended decision. Here, we introduce previous strategies for developing VPops in the context of a variety of therapeutic and safety areas: metabolic disorders, drug-induced liver injury, auto-immune diseases, and cancer. We introduce methodological considerations, prior work for sensitivity analysis and VPop algorithm design, and potential areas for future advancement. Finally, we give a more detailed application example of a VPop calibration algorithm that illustrates recent progress and many of the methodological considerations. In conclusion, although methodologies have varied, VPop strategies have been successfully applied to give valid clinical insights and predictions with the assistance of carefully defined and designed calibration and validation strategies. While a uniform VPop approach for all potential QSP applications may be challenging given the heterogeneity in use considerations, we anticipate continued innovation will help to drive VPop application for more challenging cases of greater scale while developing new rigorous methodologies and metrics.
Weak Central Coherence in Adults With ASD: Evidence From Eye-Tracking And Thematic Content Analysis Of Social Scenes
Authors: Tassini Susanny Cristini Vercellino , Melo Mariana Cardoso , de Mello Claudia Berlim , Bueno Orlando Francisco Amodeo
Published: August 2021

Central coherence theory proposes that a specific perceptual-cognitive process that limits the ability to derive overall meaning from details underlies the central disturbance in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In a social context, it may interfere with the ability of individuals with ASD to understand interactions between people by recognizing emotional clues or attributing a particular mental state, and to play a role in the social difficulties associated with ASD. A sample of 28 adults diagnosed with ASD Level 1 and 25 controls were submitted to a cartoon-like task with the instruction to describe social scenes and a Navon letter task. Both quantitative measures and qualitative (thematic content analysis) procedures were used to assess performance. Heatmap and fixation preferences according to the stimuli quadrants were used to investigate eye-tracking patterns. A tendency to local processing, independently of the stimuli type, in the ASD participants was seen. In social scenes, quadrants with components such as characters' faces were neglected, resulting in a loss of implicit content related to interactions, as evidenced by verbal reports. A significantly longer reaction times and response durations in ASD. The findings corroborate the idea that weak central coherence may be part of the cognitive phenotype in ASD.
Benjamin Graham on Buffer Stocks
Authors: Woods John E
Published: August 2021

Surprisingly, Benjamin Graham, the acknowledged “Father of Value Investing”, considered his most important work to be the invention of the Commodity Reserve Currency Plan during the 1930s and 1940s. Previous studies of the Plan have overlooked the fact that, of its three main components (buffer stocks, price stability and currency–backing), Graham regarded the first as the most important and the other two as “secondary” or “subsidiary”. By focusing on the buffer–stock aspect, we demonstrate, first, the breadth and depth of Graham’s overall conception in terms of both micro– and macro-economics and, second, the considerable overlap with Keynes’s ideas developed around the same time, which are manifested particularly in their common conclusion that the inefficiency of commodity markets could be rectified only by government intervention. We also comment on Mehrling’s assessment of Graham as “not any kind of economist at all” (JHET, 2011).
Reading Keynes’s policy papers through the prism of his Treatise on Probability: information, expectations and revision of probabilities in economic policy
Authors: Rivot Sylvie
Published: August 2021

When scholars investigate the legacy of Keynes’s Treatise on Probability (1921) for the development of Keynes’s thinking, the attention usually focuses on the connections between Keynes’s probability theory, his conception of decision-making under uncertainty and the theory of the functioning of the macroeconomic system that derives from it - through the marginal efficiency of capital, the preference for liquidity and the self-referential functioning of financial markets. By contrast, the paper aims to investigate the connections between Keynes’s probability theory on the one hand, and his economic policy recommendations on the other. It concentrates on the policy recommendations defended by Keynes during the Great Depression but also after the General Theory. Keynes’s economic policy can be understood as a framework for decision-making in situations of uncertainty: fiscal policy aims to induce private agents to change their “rational” probability statements, while monetary policy aims to allow more weight to these statements.
Biomechanical duality of fracture healing captured using virtual modeling and validated in ovine bones
Authors: Inglis Brendan , Schwarzenberg Peter , Klein Karina , von Rechenberg Brigitte , Darwiche Salim , Dailey Hannah
Published: August 2021

Bone fractures commonly repair by forming a bridging structure called callus, which begins as soft tissue and gradually ossifies to restore the rigidity of the bone. In large animals and humans, this process typically requires only a few months to complete. Occasionally bones can fail to heal, resulting in nonunions that are difficult to diagnose and treat, partly because early detection of poor healing remains challenging. We present a translational technique for measuring what really matters in fracture healing – the structural integrity of the bone – using image-based virtual mechanical testing. This work shows that physical mechanical tests of osteotomized ovine tibiae can be reliably recapitulated in a simulation environment only when the soft-hard mechanical duality of the healing zone is accurately captured by the constitutive material model. A large-scale optimization analysis was performed on thousands of 3D finite element models derived from computed tomography (CT) scans of 33 osteotomized sheep. This identified a piecewise material model that successfully replicated the postmortem torsion testing data by differentiating between soft and hard callus based on material density alone. The results suggest that most of the structural integrity of a healing bone is conferred by an internal architecture of mineralized hard callus that is supported by interstitial soft tissue. We conclude that with appropriate material modeling, virtual mechanical testing is a reliable surrogate for physical testing and that this technique has high translational potential for diagnostic testing of nonunion.
Culturally Relevant Pedagogy and Applied Behavior Analysis: Addressing Educational Disparities in PK-12 Schools
Authors: Hugh-Pennie Amoy Kito , Hernandez Mya , Uwayo Margaret , Johnson Gaige , Ross Denise
Published: August 2021

The purpose of this paper is to describe the theory of culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) and itsapplication to PK-12 education for behavior analysts working in schools. CRP is an educationalframework that asserts that successful teachers of African American students help their studentsgain three repertoires: a) socio-political awareness, b) cultural competence, and c) academicexcellence. The CRP framework was designed to counter the effects that racial bias has on theacademic and disciplinary experiences of some students of color. This paper suggests thatapplied behavior analysis and CRP, when used together, may strengthen educators’ efforts toreduce the effects of racism that some students of color experience. The authors first explain thetenets of CRP based on the work of Ladson-Billings (1995). Next, points of convergencebetween ABA and CRP are described. Finally, the authors offer recommendations for behavioranalysts to consider when applying CRP in schools through the provision of examples ofstrategies and tactics derived from the behavioral literature that align with the CRP framework.The framework presented in this paper has implications for behavior analysts interested inapplying culturally relevant practices to their work as educators.
Scoping review on productivity-related psychological interventions: Integration into the Felicity App
Authors: Xu Joy , Ong Jeffrey , Marjia Muntaha , Lio Aaron , Dhaliwal Harshdeep
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: The Felicity App is a mobile application undergoing development with the aim to integrate practical psychological interventions with recreational elements to reinforce positive and productive behaviours. Prior to construction, psychological interventions must be reviewed for relevance, effectiveness and ability to be integrated within Felicity. Psychological concepts are reviewed as the preliminary phase prior to further investigation in subfields. METHODS: Electronic databases were searched including (and not limited to) PsychInfo, PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect from November 29, 2020 to December 5, 2020. Further filtering methods were applied accordingly, and grey literature was excluded. Common and effective psychological interventions related to productivity were screened and extracted, with an emphasis on the reinforcement and discouragement of productivity-related behaviours. RESULTS: Productivity-related psychological interventions were addressed according to three categories: 1) Motivation 2) Procrastination 3) Time management. Within motivation, self-affirmation is an effective method, particularly when accompanied with other positive thinking techniques. Intrinsic motivation could be enhanced with goals aligned in specific criterias. Additionally, virtual rewards, engagement, and familiarity serve as vital components to enhance motivation. Procrastination is associated with lower engagement in work and interventions include various therapy measures. Within time management, clear purpose has been shown as an effective tool for goal setting while strategies include spaced learning and other study techniques. CONCLUSION: This scoping review determined several points of connection between motivation, procrastination, and time management with many effective interventions which could be potentially integrated within the Felicity App for personal development and habit-building. Additional research should be conducted to further determine the effectiveness of interventions for integration into Felicity.
Forensic facial examiners vs. super-recognizers: Evaluating behavior beyond accuracy
Authors: Hahn Carina A. , Tang Liansheng Larry , Yates Amy N. , Phillips P. Jonathon
Published: August 2021

We evaluated the detailed, behavioral properties of face matching performance in two specialist groups: forensic facial examiners and super-recognizers. Both groups compare faces to determine identity with high accuracy and outperform the general population. Typically, facial examiners are highly trained; super-recognizers rely on natural ability. We found distinct behaviors between these two groups. Facial examiners took advantage of the full 7-point identity judgment scale; super-recognizers’ judgments clustered toward highly confident decisions. Facial examiners’ identity judgments for same-identities and different-identities mirrored each other; those from super-recognizers did not. Facial examiners showed higher identity judgment agreement than super-recognizers. Despite these qualitative differences, both groups showed insight into their own accuracy: more confident people and those who rated the task to be easier tended to be more accurate. These findings show that to better understand and interpret judgments according to the nature of someone’s facial expertise, evaluations should assess more than accuracy.
I vote NOTA: Ideological Expanses of Partisanship in India
Authors: Puthillam Arathy , Kapoor Hansika
Published: August 2021

The relationship between ideology and partisanship is understudied in India. Using secondary data, we ask whether ideology predicts party preferences, and whether Indians can be clustered with respect to their ideological positions. To do so, we define ideology as differing along two dimensions: adherence to social norms and obedience to hierarchies. We find that a preference for hierarchies significantly determines which party is preferred compared to NOTA, whereas adherence to social norms significantly predicts voting for a number of left- and right-positioning parties. Second, a cluster analysis shows three clusters, which have been named “social reformists” for individuals who are left leaning on both dimensions, “disguised traditionalists” for those who are left leaning in terms of social norms, but right leaning in terms of adherence to hierarchies, and “traditionalists,” for those who are right leaning in terms of both dimensions. Implications and future directions are discussed.
Weather on the Brain I: A Theoretical View on Needs to Think About Weather
Authors: Bolton Matthew J. , Lazzaro Angela
Published: August 2021

This paper explores the theoretical nature of a proposed psychological construct–need for cognition about weather. Whereas nature connectedness concerns a sense of communion with rivers, lakes, trees, and so forth, some people manifest a more specific form of connection directed to the weather which occurs in nature. We propose that needs to think about weather develop based on different features of the individual’s living environment at points across the lifespan, and due to their unique psychological configuration, and lead in turn to either aversion or fascination for weather. Theory, evidence, and applications of this potential construct, and the relationship between nature and weather connectivity, are discussed.
Stressful life events precede gambling problems, and continued gambling problems exacerbate stressful life events; a life course calendar study
Authors: Russell Alex M T , Browne Matthew , Hing Nerilee , Visintin Tess , Begg Stephen , Rawat Vijay , Rockloff Matthew
Published: August 2021

Do stressful life events cause gambling problems, or do gambling problems cause stressful life events? This study used a retrospective design to examine the temporal order of these associations. Specifically, the study employed a life course calendar in a self-directed online survey to minimise memory biases common in retrospective designs. A total of 1,564 US respondents who had gambled at any point in their life (51.0% female, median age 46) were asked whether, for each year of their adult life, they had experienced each of eight stressful life events, and whether they had engaged in casual or heavy gambling, drinking or drug use, with heavy gambling defined in line with a problem gambling definition. We found that five stressful life events were associated with the onset of heavy gambling: work issues, financial issues, legal issues, relationship issues and the death of a loved one. The same five stressful life events predict the cessation of an episode of heavy gambling, indicating a possible tendency for gambling problems to self-resolve in the presence of stress. Insights are also gained into comorbidities with alcohol and drug use, and the course of stressful life events and gambling and substance use throughout the life course, albeit with a non-representative sample. The methodology allows tentative conclusions in terms of possible causation pathways, indicating that stressful life events may play a role both in the onset and the maintenance (or cessation) of gambling problems.

Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused mandatory lockdowns leading to disruptions in sports training programs. This study aimed to determine the effects of a 16-week COVID-19 lockdown on body composition as well as kinetic and kinematic parameters of the countermovement jump (CMJ) for professional martial artists. Thirteen (n=13) professional martial artists participated in this retrospective cohort study. Subjects were tested on the CMJ at four timepoints: 1) pre-lockdown (pre), 2) immediately post-lockdown (post), 3) two weeks post-lockdown (post+2), and 4) four weeks post-lockdown (post+4). Body composition was measured via bioelectrical impedance and jump data were collected using a force platform sampling at 1,000 Hz. Individual repeated-measures ANOVAs were conducted with pairwise post-hoc analyzes. Differences were observed in vertical jump height (VJH) of 10.33%, peak velocity (PV) of 3.10%, reactive strength index modified (RSImod) of 13.8%, and peak propulsive power (PPP) of 6.00% (p<0.05). There as an increase from post to post+2 of 13.06% in VJ, 4.12% for PV, 14.0% for RSImod, and PPP of 4.66%. There was an increase from post to post+2 of 10.8% in VJH, 3.1% for PV, 14.0% for RSImod, and PPP of 3.0%. Fat mass (FM) and BF% increased from pre to post by 13% and 11%, respectively, and decreased 8% and 11% from post to post+4 respectively (p<0.05). In contrast, there was an decrease in fat-free mass (FFM) from pre to post of 11% and a decrease of 8% from post to post+4. There were moderate associations between FFM and VJH (rmc=0.47), FMM and PPP (rmc=0.47), FFM and PV (rmc=0.47), BF% and PV (rmc=-0.42), and FM and PV (rmc=0.42). While the lockdown resulted in a significant decrease in CMJ performance and increases in BF and FM, subjects’ performance returned to pre-lockdown levels after only 2-4 weeks of post-lockdown training by decreasing BF, FM, and increasing FFM.

Failing Gloriously and Other Essays
Authors: Graham Shawn
Published: August 2021

Please, you gotta help me. I’ve nuked the university. Failing Gloriously and Other Essays documents Shawn Graham’s odyssey through the digital humanities and digital archaeology against the backdrop of the 21st-century university. At turns hilarious, depressing, and inspiring, Graham’s book presents a contemporary take on the academic memoir, but rather than celebrating the victories, he reflects on the failures and considers their impact on his intellectual and professional development. These aren’t heroic tales of overcoming odds or paeans to failure as evidence for a macho willingness to take risks. They’re honest lessons laced with a genuine humility that encourages us to think about making it safer for ourselves and others to fail. A foreword from Eric Kansa and an afterword by Neha Gupta engage the lessons of Failing Gloriously and consider the role of failure in digital archaeology, the humanities, and social sciences.
REVIEW OF OPEN SOURCE QGIS FORESTRY PLUGINS
Authors:   Center for Forest Ecology and Productivity of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Podolskaia E. S.
Published: August 2021

Forest industry today has some experience of using Open Source-programs. The article describes the Open Source QGIS plugins to solve the forestry challenges for the forest fire management and forest resources in scientific and applied research. Undertaken analysis will simplify selection of tools for a forest geoinformation project in Desktop and Web versions. A general brief description of modern plugins in QGIS (version 3.18.1) is given, and forestry plugins are characterized. An analysis of external QGIS plugins for working with forest resources and forest fires showed the heterogeneity of research, which has not identified any trends yet. Development of plugins with available data as map services for territories of different spatial coverage may be an option for the future research, while the ability to access archived data is important for the forest industry. The niche of thematic forest tasks in the modern QGIS plugin repository continues to be quite narrow. Transport and environmental applications implemented in GIS tools are more numerous and can solve some tasks of a forest project. Such review of plugins’ functionality should be done on a regular basis, following new developments and new versions of QGIS software.
SCALE OF NATURAL FIRE DANGER OF FOREST ECOSYSTEMS OF MELEKHOV I. S. OVERVIEW OF MODERN RUSSIAN METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES
Authors:   Center for Forest Ecology and Productivity of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Plotnikova A. S.
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the review of various methodological approaches to the estimation of natural fire danger (NFD), as well as to the creation, updation and application of the NFD maps, which are offered by modern Russian scholars. The scale of natural fire danger assessment recommended for use and developed by I. S. Melekhov is presented and analyzed. The methodological drawbacks of this scale as stated by modern researchers are indicated. The paper reviews the development of a new methodological approach to compilation of regional scales for assessing the natural fire danger of forests, by taking into account the links between forest growth conditions as well as seasonal and climatic conditions in the regions of the Russian Federation. The method for mapping of natural fire danger on the basis of maps of plant combustible materials, proposed by the scientific group of the V. N. Sukachev Institute of Forest SB RAS, is studied. We consider studies of the Mytischi Branch of Bauman Moscow State Technical University related to investigation if the possibility for applying mathematical modeling methods for long-term forecasting of changes in NFD under different scenarios of forest management. The method for annual mapping of NFD classes, proposed in the CEPF RAS, is presented. An example of the use of NFD maps in assessing the probability of forest fires in the ICARP FEB RAS is considered. Future research areas are identified, namely, a cartographic representation of the created regional scales of NFD and the results of mathematical modeling of long-term changes in NFD.

Published: August 2021

It is necessary to develop quantitative methods to assess the formation of thermal burns in the morphological parts of coniferous trees. The purpose of the study can be formulated as follows: mathematical modeling of heat transfer in the layered structure of a coniferous tree branch under the influence of a forest fire front. The heat propagation in the “branch-needles-flame zone” system is described by a system of non-stationary differential equations of heat conduction with the corresponding initial and boundary conditions. As an object of research, a digital model of a branch of a coniferous tree for various species, namely, pine, larch and fir, was used. Temperature distributions are obtained for different variants of the branch structure and conditions of the impact of the forest fire front. Conclusions are made about the need for further modernization of the mathematical model. The developed model is the basis for creating software tools for specialized geographic information systems.

Jalan mempunyai peran penting terhadap pembangunan wilayah. Salah satu cara pengembangan  jalan  adalah  dengan  meningkatkan  kualitas  kondisi  fisik  jalan yang  mendukung  lancarnya  pergerakan  transportasi.  Upaya  untuk  mencapai kriteria tersebut dilakukan dengan cara meningkatkan kinerja campuran aspal tersebut, misalnya dengan zat tambah. Penelitian ini mencoba bahan tambah lokal yaitu pemanfaatan limbah botol minuman plastik yang dihancurkan menggunakan alat pencacah berbentuk serpihan-serpihan. Pengujian marshall dilakukan dengan2 tahap, yaitu Pengujian Marshall I dilakukan untuk mendapatkan nilai KadarAspal Optimum (KAO) yang direncanakan dengan variasi kadar aspal 4,5%, 5%,5,5%, 6%, dan 6,5%, dan untuk Pengujian Marshall II dilakukan dengan menggunakan KAO yang diperoleh dari pengujian tahap I dengan penambahan bahan tambah plastik jenis PET dengan variasi kadar 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, dan 10%. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian Marshall I didapat KAO sebesar 5,33%. Pengujian Marshall  II  dengan  penambahan  plastik  jenis  PET  pada  variasi  kadar  bahan tambah yang sudah direncanakan terhadap berat aspal KAO, Parameter Marshall memenuhi spesifikasi, terkecuali nilai Void In Mixture (VIM) pada penambahan kadar plastik sebesar 8% dan 10% yang nilainya berturut-turut yaitu 2,79% dan2,64%. Dari hasil evaluasi sifat karakteristik Marshall diperoleh rentang Kadar Plastik Maksimum 0% hingga 7,9. Penambahan plastik jenis Polyethylene Terepthalate (PET) ternyata memberikan pengaruh pada campuran aspal panas AC-WC dan meningkatkan kualitas karakteristik Marshall.Kata kunci: : ac-wc, polyethylene terepthalate, parameter marshall, kadar aspal optimum

The kuluna phenomenon is a social pathology having many causal factors in multidimensional systems such as the microsystem and the macrosystem. So the changing process requires first the prevention by elaborating a public policy with a multisector impact. But many times reaction is applied instead of preventing to avoid gangsters among young in the city of Kinshasa by the public managers. In this article, we give some prerequisites for the elaboration of a multisector public policy and the praxis, concerning legal authorities and the Christian social workers through the churches and other Christian social organizations which are called to work in the sense of a contextual mission, and deal with spiritually in addition to the psycho-sociological questions. The findings of this research show evidence in the hyper military environment of Kinshasa city and the Kuluna phenomenon. Demilitarization of the city is imperative
