Güven Mi Yoksa Korku mu? Toplumsal Bir Damgalamadan Güven Aracına Dönüş Biçimi Olarak: Maske Kullanımı
Authors: ERASLAN Hasan
Published: June 2023

Küresel bir salgın haline gelen COVİD-19 virüsü ile birlikte bireylerin gündelik yaşamlarında birçok yeni değişim meydana gelmektedir. Bu değişimlerden en dikkat çekici olanı maske kullanımı olmaktadır. Salgın sürecinden önce maske takan bireylerin bir hastalığı taşıdığı ve bulaştırma riskinin olacağı tahayyül edilirken salgın sürecinde maskenin anlamı değişerek hastalığa karşı bir önlem olarak görülmenin yanı sıra toplumsal baskıdan da kaçınma aracı olarak görülmesidir. Bu değişim hastalık karşısında maskenin kullanımından oluşan “damganın”, maskenin kullanılmamasından oluşan “damgaya” dönüşümü olarak görülmektedir.

İzmir, İstanbul ve Ankara ilinde 20 katılımcı ile yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerle alınan veriler ile desteklenen çalışmanın verileri ışığında, maskenin bireysel bir korunma mekanizmasından çok toplumsal ve siyasal kararlara karşı çıkmamak amaçlı kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Goffman’ın "damga" (stigma) teorisi etrafında şekillenen çalışmada, maskenin Covid 19 pandemisinin etkili olduğu süreçte "toplumsal bir normal" olarak kabul edildiği ve maske takmayanların bireysel sağlıktan önce normalin dışına çıkmış kişiler olarak görüldüğü tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenle ki çalışma kapsamında "damga" teorisinin merkezi olan “toplumsal kabuller" noktasının doğrulandığı ve pandemi boyunca gündelik hayatı etkileyen türde çıktılar ortaya koyduğu görülmüştür.

Interdisziplinäre Vernetzung bei chronischen Erkrankungen – klinische Versorgung
Authors: de Laffolie Jan
Published: June 2023

Ein erheblicher Anteil der Kinder und Jugendlichen in Deutschland leidet unter chronischen Erkrankungen wie Asthma bronchiale, Diabetes mellitus, Adipositas oder Allergien, aber auch an vielzähligen selteneren, komplexen Erkrankungen. Diese Erkrankungen sind oft durch rasche Fortschritte in Diagnostik und Therapie sowie multimodale Behandlungskonzepte mit zum Teil sehr teuren neuen Medikamenten gekennzeichnet. Versorgungsdefizite sind häufig, zumal oft das nötige Spezialwissen und damit verbundene Erfahrung nicht überall in gleicher Weise zur Verfügung steht und ein hoher Kommunikationsaufwand besteht. Die Behandlung sollte interdisziplinär und intersektoral integriert mit Beteiligung der Patienten und Familien erfolgen, dies wird in der aktuellen marktwirtschaftlich orientierten Organisation des Gesundheitswesens jedoch nicht befördert. Die Maxime der Kostenreduktion gerade im stationären Sektor fällt hier besonders ins Gewicht. In diesem Beitrag sollen wesentliche Strukturen und Prozesse sowie Veränderungsperspektiven aufgezeigt werden.

Ukrainian Discourses on NATO: Securitization, Otherness, and Their Effects on Russo-Ukrainian Relations
Authors: Zhyrun Iryna
Published: June 2023

Ukraine’s aspirations for NATO membership have been a source of contention between Russia and Ukraine for decades. At the same time, domestic debates in Ukraine on relations with NATO have also been a divisive issue for Ukraine’s ruling political elites. These conflicts culminated in 2022, when Russia launched a military offensive against Ukraine claiming that its movement towards NATO was an existential threat to the Russian state. This paper summarizes some of the results of my longitudinal research of ruling elite discourse on NATO in Ukraine between 1997 and 2018. It focuses on the changes in national identity discourse and contestation, pinpointing their constitutive role for Ukrainian foreign policy.
Between War and Peace: Russian Visions of Future Relations with Ukraine and the West
Authors: Tsygankov Andrei P
Published: June 2023

The paper identifies several Russian visions of future relations with Ukraine and Western nations from the mid-term perspective. Russian scholars and foreign policy analysts have debated several scenarios of future relations that can be defined as a long war, a hostile coexistence, and a renewed peace. While not entirely exclusive, each has its own internal logic and is driven by distinct forces. The paper reviews writings and commentaries by Russian thinkers as reflective of the identified scenarios by analyzing and comparing their arguments. From the Russian perspective, a stable peace is only possible by addressing issues of values, security, and economic and political relations among Russia, Ukraine, and Western countries. An analysis of Russia’s internal discussions presents an opportunity to understand the diversity of the country’s reasoning about future international relations.
Präimplantationsdiagnostik in Deutschland – ganz oder gar nicht!
Authors: Schroeder-Kurth Traute
Published: June 2023

Through the statement of the Bioethics Commission of the State Rheinland-Pfalz (EK-RhPf) and the draft guidelines for the use of PGD of the Federal Medical Association (REP-BÄK) the debate about PGD in Germany is clearly headed towards an introduction of the technique. Both papers fail to deal adequately with some of the most important medical facts as well as legal and ethical aspects: embryo destruction in the course of diagnostic procedures or necessary research; the initiation of a trial pregnancy conditional on the results of prenatal diagnosis – a practice which contradicts the aims usually stated in favour of PGD; diagnostic indications intended to restrict the use of the technique are impractical in the light of previous experience with prenatal diagnosis. The REPBÄK tries to squeeze PGD techniques, procedures and aims into the existing guidelines for IVF despite profound differences. If PGD is to be introduced then these half-hearted would-be-solutions must be replaced by a clear and complete presentation of the facts as well as the moral problems and legal consequences including the abandonment of embryo protection as we know it. Society needs complete information, honest ethical discussion and legal security for a decision: PGD – yes or no!
Entwicklung und Aufbau Klinischer Ethikkomitees in den Krankenhäusern der Malteser Trägergesellschaft
Authors: Gordijn Bert , Steinkamp Norbert
Published: June 2023

Health care ethics committees (HECs) are a fairly recent phenomenon in Germany. Until the 1990s, the only working committees were Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) at University Medical Centers and the state-based Councils of Physicians. In 1997, the Protestant and Catholic hospital foundations launched a joint initiative to develop and implement interdisciplinary HECs. Since then several public, private and church-based providers of health care services have started relevant projects, some of them aimed even at making HECs a prerequisite of hospital accreditation. This paper describes a training program for core groups of staff from all Maltese Order hospitals in Germany. These core groups are being trained to implement an HEC at their respective hospitals. The authors of the training program wrote it for practical use in health care organizations. It is based upon a two-layer model of implementing elements of clinical ethics in hospitals, in which the HEC is supplemented by interdisciplinary ethical case deliberations in the ward.
Krieg und medizinische Versorgung – ein medizinhistorischer Überblick
Authors: Wahl Markus
Published: June 2023

Die Weiterentwicklungen von Krieg und Waffen stellen auch immer neue Herausforderungen an die Medizin. In diesem Artikel werden die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Krieg und medizinische Versorgung und Forschung skizzenhaft anhand von verschiedenen Beispielen aufgezeigt. Dabei ist die These, dass Krieg generell als Gefahr für den medizinischen Fortschritt angesehen werden muss, da aufgrund der Fokussierung auf kriegswichtige Bereiche immer andere Aspekte, die der Allgemeinheit zugutekommen könnten, vernachlässigt werden. Damit ist der Krieg kein guter Lehrmeister der Medizin, auch wenn manche Entwicklungen, wie die Massenproduktion des Penicillins während des Zweiten Weltkriegs, beschleunigt wurden.

Helft euch selbst, sonst hilft euch keiner: Welternährungskrise und Krieg gegen die Ukraine
Authors: Tanzmann Stig
Published: June 2023

Der Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine und seine Folgen für das Welternährungssystem haben die Hungerthematik sprichwörtlich mit aller Gewalt zurück ins Zentrum der politischen und medialen Aufmerksamkeit gebracht. Endlich wird darüber berichtet, dass rund 828 Millionen Menschen hungern und dass eine Welt ohne Hunger in immer weitere Ferne rückt und die Ziele der Agenda 2030 nicht mehr zu erreichen sind. Doch in der Analyse der Hungerlage konzentrieren sich Politik und Medien allzu häufig allein auf den Krieg und seine Folgen.

Published: June 2023

In plant production, determining the suitable varieties suitable for the location and choosing the varieties with the best performance are among the top priorities. Biplot analysis has become widespread in recent years as an important statistical technique for plant breeders and those working in agricultural research. This study was carried out according to Randomized Complete Block Design with 18 upcountry and 2 abroad registered varieties in Muş location in 2022 year. Yield and quality components were investigated. According to the results of variance analysis, it was determined that there were statistically significant differences at the level of 1% among the varieties in terms of all the traits examined. According to the average data obtained in the study; bifurcation varied between (%) 5.4-17.8, leaf yield 13.54-24.28 t ha-1, root yield 73.42-93.57 t ha-1, biological yield 90.29-118.26 t ha-1, sugar content (%) 16.2-19.0, plant juice purity 82.39- 88.10%, dry matter (%) 16.4-20.1, α-amino N (mg 100g-1) 0.0405-0.0498 and ash (%) varied between 2.49-3.35. According to the results of the research, in terms of root yield, G10 no and G14 no varieties came to the fore in terms of the most stable and examined traits. G12 no variety came to the fore in terms of sugar yield and G19 no variety in terms of sugar content. When the average data of all examined traits are evaluated together, G10, G11 and G14 no varieties are considered as the most stable varieties. However, varieties with high root yield, sugar content and sugar yield are the primary preferences of growers in sugar beet production. When all the data of the varieties used in the research are evaluated together; G2, G4, G8, G10, G11, G12, G14, G15 and G19 no varieties can be recommended for Muş ecological conditions. However, it was concluded that the study should be carried out in the following years for more decisive recommendations.
Agents of Socialization Keep in Touch with Socio-Virtualization
Authors: Kurt Ibrahim
Published: June 2023

In contemporary society, as opportunities for individuals to acquire knowledge and socialize with family, friends, school, and media expand, they are increasingly exposed to human-machine interaction on an individual level. The age of science, which has brought many benefits with technological advancements, continues to present a plethora of opportunities for people. However, it is important to acknowledge that technology also has its drawbacks and consequences. Technology has opened new doors for both society and individuals through its contributions to socialization and personal growth. Its structure, which activates and impacts the socialization tools of society, makes it impossible to avoid being affected or influenced by the virtual space both individually and socially. As a result, the concept of socialization is evolving into "socio-virtualization." This phenomenon has begun to be studied by educators, sociologists, and other related fields. With the ongoing evolution of technology, it remains to be seen whether it will be incorporated as a new tool for socialization or if its role in this process will shift in the future. This research aims to examine the socialization process and the effects of technology, specifically the virtual aspect, on society and socialization.

Authors: Kaddoura Rasha , Orabi Bassant , Yassin Mohamed A , Omar Amr S
Published: June 2023

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Despite optimal antiplatelet therapy recommendation after ischemic events, recurrent thrombotic complications rate remains high. The recurrent events maybe in part due to increased thrombin levels during ACS which may underscore the need for an additional anticoagulation therapy. Given the advantages of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) over warfarin, they have the potential to prevent thrombus formation, in the presence or absence of atrial fibrillation, but at the cost of increased risk of bleeding. NOACs have also shown a promising efficacy in managing left ventricular thrombus and a potential benefit in avoiding stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary revascularization. Taken as a whole, NOACs are increasingly used for off-licence indications, and continue to evolve as essential therapy in preventing and treating thrombotic events. Herein, this review discusses NOACs off-label indications in the setting of ischemic coronary disease.

Background: To investigate the impact of Cryo Nerve Block with cryoICE™ device utilization, on post-operative pain in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through left thoracotomy. Methods: All consecutive patients undergoing isolated CABG through left thoracotomy between July 2021 and July 2022 from a single surgeon were included in the study. Patients using the cryoICE™ device for nerve block were compared for baseline demographics and pre-operative characteristics with those that did not use the cryoICE™ device. A propensity-adjusted analysis was used to compare the two groups. The primary outcome was degree of incisional pain and numbness. Results: A total of 103 patients underwent isolated CABG through left thoracotomy. After matching, the cryoICE™ device was used for nerve block in 60 patients while the control group included 43 patients. Mean follow-up was 5.7 months. The cryoICE™ device group had a mean value of incisional pain at hospital discharge was 1.5 (scale 0–10) while at follow-up was 0.69 (scale 0–10). Mean values of skin numbness at hospital discharge were 1 (scale 0–10) and 0.57 (scale 0–10) at follow-up. After univariate analysis comparison of cryoICE™ device group (60 patients) versus non-cryoICE™ device group (43 patients), the total in-hospital morphine use was 49% lower in the cryoICE™ versus the non-cryoICE™ cohort (73.8 + 79.37 mg vs 144.1 + 118.99 mg). Conclusions: Good clinical outcomes were observed in patients undergoing isolated left thoracotomy CABG with cryoICE™ utilization, including a very low incidence of post-operative pain, numbness, and hypersensitivity for all comers.

This study aimed to find out how to implement filling out the medical records for orthopedic surgery at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung. The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method, namely analyzing and describing the data and explaining the results obtained in full on the completeness of the medical record. The results showed that filling out the medical record form was incomplete with a population of 139 Delinquent Medical Record (DMR) samples; 54 DMR were taken. The highest incomplete form in the Authentication Review, namely "Nursing Assessment," there were 12(22%) complete 42(78%) incomplete; the highest incomplete form in the Reporting Review, namely "Medication Notes," there were 13(24%) complete 41(76%) incomplete. Incomplete medical record filling includes (1) The level of understanding of nurses and doctors on the importance of filling out medical records, (2) Doctors' delays and limitations on practice time, (3) Doctors and nurses' busyness levels, (4) Doctors' dependence on nurses, (5) the lack of attention of doctors and nurses towards filling out medical records. Suggestions for assembling officers to be more focused and pay attention to their work so that medical record documents with incomplete contents can be controlled and controlled periodically so that medical record documents are better with lower DMR numbers on filling.
The Origin of Consciousness: The TEMIC Framework of Reality
Authors: TIJANI M. A.
Published: June 2023

This study proposes the TEMIC Framework of Reality (TemFrame), which is a set of approaches, including The Emergent Model of Inner-Outer Universe Cosmogeny (TEMIC), the Conwave Model, and archexpansion/archexplosion, to incorporating consciousness into science, particularly Physics, and resolving some issues, such as dark energy and dark matter, with the Standard Big Bang Model. In TemFrame, the absolute vacuum is the origin or source of all that is in existence. Symbolized with double infinity, it is a coagulation known as the Beginning, which exists in a primordial universe (the innermost universe), which was the first universe to exist. According to the TEMIC Model, our Universe emerges from an inner universe via expansions or explosions of the absolute vacuum in Big Bangs still occurring till now, and these processes occur infinitely in cycles. TemFrame is proposed to provide a theoretical basis for the Conwave Model and to incorporate consciousness into Physics, highlighting the role the natural phenomenon of consciousness might have played in the evolution of our Universe, an outer or physical universe. Big Bangs can also be defined as expansions or explosions of fundamental consciousness that produce individual consciousnesses in stars, planets, living organisms, and others in the universes, with fundamental consciousness, one of the key natural forces ― perhaps the most important of all ― is driving the accelerated expansion of this Universe. In TemFrame, what exists beyond the singularity when spacetime collapses or tears down due to intense gravity is the zero dimension or the inner universe, which are non-physical realms or worlds. The Conwave Model states that consciousness is a fundamental, primordial, and intrinsic property of the Universe, which transmits information and energy traveling in waves called consciousness waves (known in short as conwaves) from the absolute vacuum to matter that serves as a host to consciousness.

Published: June 2023

This study aims to examine the effect of online search frequency on financial performance with the business sector as a moderating variable. This study also uses the level of internet users and the inflation rate as control variables. The population in this study were 400 financial statements of companies registered at IDX80 for the period 2018 – 2022. The research sample was selected using a purposive sampling method and produced a sample with a total of 215 financial statements from 43 companies divided into 8 business sectors. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance in the IBM-SPSS-24 application. The frequency of online searches was measured using Google Trends. Financial performance is measured using the proportional assets ratio (PAR) and anchored ratio (AR). The results show that the frequency of online searches has a significant effect on financial performance. In detail, it has a significant effect on current assets, current liabilities, expenses and profit before tax. In addition, the business sector also significantly moderates the relationship between online search frequency and financial performance except for the Industrials, and Properties & Real Estate sectors. Testing of control variables also shows that the level of internet users significantly influences financial performance. The findings from the research indicate that the frequency of online searches has the potential to negatively impact companies considering the level of internet users.

Published: June 2023

This study is prompted by the election of female legislative candidates in East Java’s 2019 General Elections. The notable presence of women in the East Java Regional Legislative Assembly serves as a cause for celebration, as it has observed a commendable quantitative surge from a previous count of seven individuals in the 2014 election to a noteworthy tally of 21 individuals in the 2019 election. The research aims to investigate how these four female legislative candidates utilized their social capital to secure their positions as elected members in the 2019 General Elections. The primary informants selected for the study met certain criteria, including being the incumbent legislative member of their electoral area, being the representative of their respective regions, and having a top or early sequence number in the election. This study is founded upon Robert Putnam's social capital theory and is bolstered by Claudia Derich's, Andrea Fleschenberg's, and Momoyo Hustebeck's moral capital theory. The methodology employed in this study is qualitative, employing a case study approach centered around in-depth interviews with four female legislative candidates who were successfully elected as legislative members. The primary findings of this study highlight several key factors that contributed to the election of these four female legislative candidates. These factors include significant support from their family members (spouses and parents) as well as endorsements from various colleagues representing religious organizations, social organizations, and alumni networks. Additionally, their success in the elections can be attributed to the moral capital they possess, which derived from their professional backgrounds as advocates, businesswomen, retired civil servants, and academicians. This moral capital directly resonated with the public and influenced their voting decisions.
How Mainstream Politicians Erode Norms

How does xenophobic rhetoric by mainstream politicians affect norms of tolerance? How does this compare to similar statements made by radical-right politicians? Drawing on experimental evidence, we find that statements made by mainstream politicians bring about more norm erosion than those made by radical-right politicians. Subsample analyses suggests that this is because statements by radical-right politicians generate backlash among left-wing individuals, who hold closer to the norm in place. This backlash effect is no longer noticeable when similar statements are made by mainstream right politicians. As we argue, this difference may be due to mainstream politicians representing the views of a larger part of the population, or having higher status. Our results highlight the pivotal role of mainstream politicians in enforcing or eroding democratic norms, and that similar political statements have different effects depending on their sender.
Analyzing 'Difficult Vocabulary' for Japanese Learners of English: Evaluating Materials Using the SVL as a Practical and Widely Accessible Vocabulary List
Authors: Sakai Noboru
Published: June 2023

This paper investigates how English learners appropriately select a vocabulary builder through analyzing several English-based builders and some books written in Japanese for those who seek upper-advanced vocabulary as research on this topic is limited. The analysis shows that some English-based books and Japanese books have similar difficult words for Eiken 1, and those to prepare for GRE collect more advanced words. In addition, since various types of books regarding the target vocabulary are available both in Japanese and English, learners can choose books most suited to their learning style. This may help advisers when consulting students who are studying for the SAT, GRE and Eiken Level 1.
HGH1 is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: June 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that HGH1 homolog, encoded by HGH1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. HGH1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of HGH1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient distant metastasis-free survival. Modulation of HGH1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Is Fear of Supernatural Punishment the Foundation of Religion? An Examination of Bering’s Theory of Dead Agents
Authors: Yu Chong Ho , Cole Juanita , Whitney William
Published: June 2023

Cognitive psychologist Bering attempted to explain away religion by suggesting that the evolutionary process pre-disposed the human mind to assume a spiritual realm in which dead people continue to keep their consciousness. In Bering’s study participants were asked to rate the characteristics of persons in given photos in two sittings. When the experimenter told the participants that one of the persons in the photo passed away in the second round, the average ratings for that person significantly went up. Bering concluded that higher ratings were a result of participants’ fear of being punished by the dead agent. By replicating this experiment, the authors found that initially the non-religious group gave higher ratings to the dead person than the religious group in the pretest, but the order switched in the posttest. Our study suggests that there might be alternate sources of our belief system, and also there might be alternate explanations for the same phenomenon revealed by the data.
Near-surface characterization using Distributed Acoustic Sensing in an urban area: Granada, Spain
Authors: Li Yang , Perton Mathieu , Gaite Beatriz , Ruiz-Barajas Sandra , Spica Zack
Published: June 2023

The Granada Basin in southeast Spain is an area of moderate seismicity. Yet, it hosts some of the highest seismic hazards in the Iberian Peninsula due to the presence of shallow soft sediments amplifying local ground motion. In urban areas, seismic measurements often suffer from sparse instrumentation. An enticing alternative to conventional seismometers is the Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology that can convert fiber-optic telecommunication cables into dense arrays of seismic sensors. In this study, we perform a shallow structure analysis using the ambient seismic field interferometry method. We use a DAS array field test in the city of Granada obtained on August 26th and 27th, 2020, using a telecommunication fiber. In addition to the existing limitations of using DAS with unknown fiber-ground coupling conditions, the complex geometry of the fiber and limited data recording duration further challenge the extraction of surface wave information from the ambient seismic field in such an urban environment. Therefore, we develop an ad-hoc processing scheme in which we incorporate a frequency-wavenumber (f−k) filter to enhance the quality of the virtual shot gathers and related multi-mode dispersion images. We are able to employ this dataset to generate several shear-wave velocity (VS) profiles for different sections of the cable. The shallow VS structure shows a good agreement with different geological conditions of soil deposits. This study demonstrates that DAS could provide insights into soil characterization and seismic microzonation in urban areas. In addition, the results contribute to a better understanding of local site response to ground motion.
The Ideological Turing Test: a behavioural measure of open-mindedness and perspective-taking
Authors: Brand Charlotte Olivia , Brady Daniel , Stafford Tom
Published: June 2023

Truly understanding the position of ideological opponents is challenging, yet crucial if our goals are to avoid escalation or further polarisation, identify areas of agreement, and ultimately reduce misunderstanding. We operationalise the idea of an ‘Ideological Turing Test’, as a behavioural measure of the extent to which people are able to accurately represent the position of their ideological opponents. The original ‘Turing Test’ challenged any artificial intelligence to successfully mimic human dialogue- the test would be passed if a human was convinced that the machine was a human. The Ideological Turing Test has been proposed (Caplan 2011 Econlib) as a requirement for would-be human debaters - can they successfully mimic their ideological opponent’s arguments to the extent that their opponent endorses the argument as strongly as their own? Crucially, this ‘Test’ offers a behavioural measure of open mindedness which goes beyond self-report measures. It is not possible to pass an Ideological Turing Test by believing you understand the other’s perspective - you must articulate those arguments to the satisfaction of those who hold them. In this study, we operationalise the Ideological Turing Test by recruiting participants from opposite sides of commonly polarising debates (Covid-19 Vaccines, Brexit, Veganism), and asking them to provide reasons both for and against their position. These reasons were rated by participants from the opposite side of the debate. Our criteria for “passing” the Ideological Turing Test is if an argument is agreed with by opponents to the same extent or higher than arguments made by proponents. We found no difference in minority or majority positions in their ability to pass the Ideological Turing Test (i.e. no difference in passing rate between those who are for or against Covid-19 vaccines). However we did find that those who pass the Ideological Turing Test are less judgemental towards their opponents, in that they are less likely to rate them as ignorant, immoral or irrational. The Ideological Turing Test not only provides a behavioural measure of open-mindedness, it also provides insights into the scope and diversity of arguments within and between polarising topics.
The Pandemic, Socioeconomic Disadvantage, and Learning Outcomes in Germany
Authors: Schult Johannes , Schneider Rebecca
Published: June 2023

This chapter examines the consequences of school disruptions precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic for academic learning in German elementary and secondary schools. On average, German schools were fully or partially closed for 38 weeks from the onset of the pandemic. German students experienced moderate learning losses due to school closures. National and international trend studies show that competence test scores were between 0.17 and 0.22 standard deviations below pre-pandemic scores, on average. For students from households with a lower socioeconomic status, learning losses were twice as large as for socially privileged students, according to the Institute for Educational Quality Improvement Trends in Student Achievement study. The responses of the educational administration to the learning disruption were heterogeneous, as each of the 16 states enacted its own legislation. The compensatory policies were aimed at reaching all students or at reaching disadvantaged students in particular, for example by facilitating additional remedial teaching, mostly in the fundamental domains of language and mathematics. Judged on the basis of the World Bank’s ‘reach, assess, prioritise, increase and develop’ (RAPID) framework, the policies were only partly successful because of ambiguous criteria for allocating funds and a lack of enough qualified teaching personnel, especially to support at-risk students. Some actions were also delayed by intricate administrative procedures. Recent large-scale assessments from late 2022 and early 2023 indicate some learning loss recovery and a slight reduction of the socioeconomic achievement gap. This suggests that the compensatory measures worked to a considerable degree. Moving forward, the lessons learned during the pandemic should be used to address new and ongoing challenges, such as the increasing number of non-German-speaking refugee students.
Realizing the potential of mobile interventions for education

Published: June 2023

Mobile devices are ubiquitous, but their potential for adaptive educational interventions remains largely untapped. We identify three key promises of mobile interventions for educational research and practice: 1) intervening when it is most beneficial (i.e., “just-in-time adaptivity”), 2) estimating causal effects of interventions in ecologically valid settings, 3) considering the impact of context on the effectiveness of interventions. We discuss the challenges and next steps to advance this field.
The Father’s Love: Collective Narcissism and Defensive Reactions to Allegations about Pope John Paul II in Polish Public Opinion
Authors: Golec Agnieszka , Federico Christopher
Published: June 2023

Recent allegations that Pope John Paul II turned a blind eye to clergy sexual abuse as archbishop and pope have ignited much controversy in Poland. In this study, we utilize data from an original representative survey of Polish adults to examine predictors of defensive political reactions to these allegations. We hypothesized that national and Catholic forms of collective narcissism (an exaggerated belief in ingroup greatness that requires consistent external validation) would predict defensive attitudes in the face of the allegation, and that non-narcissistic ingroup satisfaction with national and Polish identities would be less related to defensive attitudes. Using a variety of statistical approaches, we find support for these predictions among Polish Catholics.
