NOTAS SOBRE A POESIA DIGITAL DE MATO GROSSO NO INSTAGRAM: UMA MIRADA PANORÂMICA/NOTES ON MATO GROSSO'S DIGITAL POETRY ON INSTAGRAM: AN OVERVIEW
Authors: Pereira Vinicius Carvalho
Published: February 2025

A literatura digital, que se vale de recursos computacionais para fins artísticos, vem crescendo em Mato Grosso com poetas lançando mão de redes sociais, especialmente o Instagram, para produzir e circular seus textos. Para um mapeamento inicial de como a plataforma vem sendo apropriada para projetos poéticos no estado, procedemos aqui a uma análise de seis perfis de escritores de Mato Grosso no Instagram: Allan Kenayt, Eduardo Mahon, Clark Mangabeira, Larissa Campos, Ryane Leão e Elisângela Saboia. Entre os resultados observados, podemos sintetizar que há tendências partilhadas por distintos autores e algumas especificidades que individualizam seus projetos poéticos na plataforma, especialmente no que concerne aos modos de articular texto e imagem, foto e legenda, nome próprio e identificação do perfil, identidade autoral e imagens do eu, tipografia e diagramação. O estudo aponta ainda a necessidade de expansão do corpus para um mapeamento mais sistemático das apropriações do Instagram na poesia de Mato Grosso contemporânea.
“CONFORMANDO-SE COM A ANOMALIA”: O GROTESCO NOS CONTOS “A NOVA CONDIÇÃO DE IBSEN SCHÜLLER” E “A HÉRNIA”, DE EDUARDO MAHON/“CONFORMING TO THE ANOMALY”: THE GROTESQUE IN THE SHORT STORIES “THE NEW CONDITION OF IBSEN SCHÜLLER” AND “THE HERNIA”, BY EDUARDO MAHON
Authors: MORAES HELVIO , Birck Claudio
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo tem como objetivo a análise do grotesco como categoria estética nos contos “A nova condição e Ibsen Shüller” e “A hérnia”, de Eduardo Mahon, publicados primeiramente em Contos estranhos (2017) e, posteriormente, na antologia de contos do autor, Resumo da Ópera (2020). Para tal, tomamos como base de nossa análise a teoria do conto de Ricardo Piglia, principalmente o problema da tensão entre a História 1 (o “relato visível”) e a História 2 (o que se narra de forma elusiva). Quanto ao grotesco literário, apoiamo-nos principalmente nos estudos de Roas (2014), Kayser (1986 [1957]), Bakhtin (2010 [1965]) e Moraes (2017).

Authors: Simor Verardi Luciana , De Freitas Ernani César
Published: February 2025

O estudo que segue contempla o tema linguagem e trabalho em contexto de assédio eleitoral, fenômeno concebido enquanto dispositivo discursivo condutor das dramáticas do uso de si na atividade laboral. Como objetivo, propõe identificar e compreender as imagens de si e do outro projetadas como ethos discursivo na e pela cenografia discursiva do assédio eleitoral, capazes de evidenciar as dramáticas do uso de si na atividade laboral. Teoricamente, baseia-se em pressupostos da ergologia, da psicologia organizacional e do trabalho (POT) e da análise do discurso de corrente francesa. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada e de abordagem qualitativa. O corpus de análise consiste em discursos de assédio eleitoral e excertos de denúncias de trabalhadores assediados. Os resultados denotam cenografias que legitimam o discurso de poder do assediador, assim como o sentimento de impotência e temor do assediado, anulando o potencial emancipatório do trabalho e desapropriando o trabalhador da atividade de trabalho mediante o paradoxo da díade voto-tarefa.
OS SENTIDOS DE FELICIDADE EM TEXTO DE AUTOAJUDA: ARGUMENTAÇÃO, DESIGNAÇÃO E TEXTUALIDADE/THE MEANINGS OF HAPPINESS IN SELF-HELP TEXTS: ARGUMENTATION, DESIGNATION, AND TEXTUALITY
Authors: Leopoldino dos Santos Gabriel
Published: February 2025

O presente texto tem por objetivo analisar os sentidos de “felicidade” em enunciações de autoajuda. Para isso, tomaremos como nosso objeto de análise enunciados recortados da obra O guia do sucesso e da felicidade: conselhos de sabedoria de grandes pensadores, um best-seller escrito a várias mãos com o intuito de fornecer chaves para o sucesso e felicidade. Estruturadas a partir do dispositivo teórico-metodológico da semântica do acontecimento, as análises apresentadas mostram que os sentidos de “felicidade” no acontecimento enunciativo do referido texto são determinados por uma argumentação que sustenta que a felicidade, assim como o sucesso, é uma conquista pessoal. Mesmo que ela possa ser uma dádiva divina, ela é um presente ao indivíduo que, por seu esforço, é merecedor de felicidade (e sucesso).

Authors: Rosa Augusto Ferreira Sampaio , Santos Rosana Cristina Zanelatto
Published: February 2025

Neste artigo, são analisados os elementos constitutivos da invenção de uma linguagem regional por Wilson Bueno e por Guimarães Rosa, o que acaba levando-os a uma recepção, mesmo que não explícita, ainda ao modo do regionalismo do século XIX. Seja na trajetória do cavaleiro contemporâneo Roseno, da novela Meu tio Roseno, a cavalo, de Bueno, passando pela redenção de Augusto Matraga, pelo itinerário do burrinho Pedrês ou pelo devir animal do tio Iauaretê na contística de Rosa, aparecem elementos característicos de sertões por cujas fronteiras transitam linguagens que são a força motriz da organização das experiências inventadas desses sujeitos.
O MURO INVISÍVEL DE CAPITÃES DA AREIA/ THE INVISIBLE WALL OF CAPTAINS OF THE SAND
Authors: Ourique João Luis Pereira , Gomes Jeean Karlos Souza
Published: February 2025

Neste trabalho apresentamos uma análise da obra Capitães da Areia, publicada no ano de 1937, a partir da metáfora utilizada por Slavoj Žižek sobre o muro invisível que separa os indivíduos a partir de suas condições socioeconômicas. Tal perspectiva pode ser aplicada para o contexto da narrativa e ampliada para a cidade de Salvador desde a época de sua escrita até os dias atuais, demonstrando que essa segregação permanece como uma estrutura sólida na sociedade brasileira. Contamos, também, com os estudos de Giorgio Agamben, Terry Eagleton, Achille Mbembe, Néstor García Canclini e Josefina Ludmer para discutirmos as perspectivas críticas possíveis a partir da análise e interpretação do romance de Jorge Amado.

Published: February 2025

Blending polymers has wide applications in batteries, since it possess different physical and chemical properties. In this study blending of PVP/tapioca and PVP/tapioca/polyamide have been prepared and characterized. The compatibility or miscibility of the polymers at the molecular level determines the new properties of the polymer blends. The synthesised polymer blends were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Acoustical and excess parameters were studied for blends of PVP/tapioca and PVP/tapioca/polyamide in organic solids. By measuring ultrasonic velocity and adiabatic compressibility, the excess parameters were used to determine the nature of polymer interactions in the solvent.The topographical images are shown small particles approximately 50 nm in size, medium particles 100 nm in size, and large particles 175 nm in size were all observed. All particles exhibited a lobed-type fine structure; for the 175 nm sized particles, the lobes were 50 nm – 175 nm in size and appeared evenly distributed around the center of the particles.
Ángel Crespo lee a Juan Ramón: de animales y dioses
Authors: Gómez Toré José Luis
Published: February 2025

La aproximación del poeta, traductor y crítico Ángel Crespo es probablemente una de las con-tribuciones más destacadas a la historia de la recepción de la obra del último Juan Ramón Jiménez. Crespo comprende que la idea de un dios poético no constituye un delirio seudomístico, como en ocasiones se ha interpretado. Por el contrario, este motivo pone en evidencia la modernidad de una concepción cuyas raíces pueden hallarse en el Romanticismo. El ser humano, en la poesía de Jiménez, se sitúa a medio camino entre el dios y el animal. Este último revela el vínculo existente entre el espíritu y la mortalidad, especialmente a través de la figura del perro. Al mismo tiempo, la propia poesía de Crespo da muestras de una aproximación muy personal al simbolismo de los dioses, que encuentra inspiración tanto en Jiménez como en Pessoa.
Ускоренное развитие и расширение БРИКС на основе платформенной модели – путь к успешному становлению устойчивого и справедливого многополярного мироустройства
Authors: Акаев Аскар , Мусиева Джамиля
Published: February 2025

В статье показано, что предстоящее десятилетие (2025–2035 гг.) будет крайне нестабильным и разбалансированным периодом мирового развития, обусловленным сверхдолгосрочным циклическим цивилизационным кризисом, вызванным противостоянием восходящих цивилизаций Востока и нисходящих цивилизаций Запада, а также сменой больших кондратьевских циклов мирового экономического развития, порождающей борьбу за раздел вновь формирующихся рынков сбыта инновационных товаров и услуг. Мир будет переживать турбулентное десятилетие, наполненное локальными и региональными конфликтами и войнами. Самая главная задача прогрессивных сил в лице авангардных стран развивающегося мира – не допустить третьей мировой войны, вывести человечество из нынешнего кризиса и перевести его на траекторию устойчивого развития.
Считается, что эта задача под силу межцивилизационному объединению БРИКС+, главной целью которого является формирование равноправного и рационального устойчивого многополярного мироустройства со справедливой системой глобального управления. Авторы предлагают ускорить этот процесс путем развития и расширения БРИКС+ на основе платформенной модели с использованием цифровых инструментов и сервисов для оперативного выполнения базовых транзакций между странами-членами с наименьшими издержками. Изложено обоснование необходимости перехода к устойчивому многополярному мироустройству. Показано, что предстоящий саммит БРИКС10 в Казани (октябрь 2024 г.) под председательством России может дать мощный импульс, необходимый для дальнейшего ускоренного развития и расширения БРИКС+.
Касты в социально-политическом устройстве Индии
Authors: Юрлова Евгения
Published: February 2025

В статье поставлена задача показать разделенность современного индийского общества социально-кастовыми и религиозными перегородками и ее влияние на социальную и политическую жизнь страны. Население Древней Индии делилось на четыре социальные общности – варны: старшей (брахманов) – ученых, жрецов, учителей; второй (кшатриев) – воинов, правителей, знати; третьей (вайшьев) – землевладельцев, скотоводов, торговцев; низшей четвертой (шудр) – ремесленников, слуг. За пределами системы варн находились неприкасаемые. В дальнейшем развитие системы варн в систему каст происходило в результате межварновых браков. В 1950 г. конституция независимой Индии провозгласила упразднение неприкасаемости и равенство всех перед законом. Однако в той или иной форме она продолжала сохраняться, несмотря на определенные положительные изменения в жизни бывших неприкасаемых. С 1990 г. в официальных документах и СМИ стал использоваться термин «зарегистрированные касты». Слово «далит» (униженный) закрепилось в качестве общепризнанного термина в быту и общественной жизни для обозначения бывших неприкасаемых. Большой вклад в борьбу против неприкасаемости внес Махатма Ганди. Коренные изменения в этой борьбе стали заслугой Б. Р. Амбедкара. Он подготовил ее идеологическую основу, требуя упразднить кастовую иерархию. С этой целью он стремился выработать у далитов новое мировоззрение. Его привлек буддизм своим протестом против социального неравенства и тем, что он был исконно индийской религией. Новый буддизм Амбедкара – наваяна – предлагал решать социально-экономические проблемы дискриминируемых низов индийского общества на основе демократии и ненасилия. Главное состоит в том, что среди далитов стал формироваться средний класс.

По переписи 2011 г. в Индии насчитывалось более 200 млн членов зарегистрированных каст, а по некоторым подсчетам еще около 15–20 млн далитов-христиан и 100 млн далитов-мусульман. Таким образом, общая численность далитов составляет четверть населения Индии.

INTRODUCTION. The main risk to the clinical translatability of preclinical results for anticancer medicinal products is posed by the difficulty of simulating clinical conditions in an experimental model. With only 5% of product candidates proving clinically effective, the search for new approaches to the preclinical development of anticancer medicinal products is currently an active area of research in medicine.

AIM. This study aimed to provide methodological support for planning experiments with modelling of neoplastic processes through analysis and classification of the methods used in preclinical studies of the efficacy of anticancer medicinal products in vivo.

DISCUSSION. This article reviews the development of animal tumour models and the selection of cell lines and their testing for tumourigenicity and viability on a step-by-step basis. According to the study results, imaging systems, vital staining, and fluorescence- and luminescence-based methods can be used to assess the efficacy of anticancer medicinal products in both solid tumour models and haematological malignancy models. The article presents a schematic representation of the main types of mouse cancer models. However, no single animal species is universally suitable for in vivo cancer modelling. Researchers selecting models and considering their advantages and disadvantages should pay special attention to the similarity of disease mechanisms in animal models and humans at the tissue and molecular level, keeping in mind the aims of their research.

CONCLUSIONS. The results of this comparative analysis of methods for preclinical efficacy evaluation of anticancer medicinal products are essential for designing experimental studies and ensuring the reliability of the results obtained. Choosing the correct research method will increase the chances of obtaining experimental data that can be successfully translated into clinical practice.

Authors: Velichko V. V. , Lastovka A. V. , Kartashova M. E. , Gaiduk A. A. , Kruglov D. S.
Published: February 2025

INTRODUCTION. According to the literature, alcoholic extracts of Nonea rossica Steven have anticoagulant, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties, which may be due to the presence of caffeic acid and its derivatives in the plant. The standardisation of this herbal drug requires the development of an analytical procedure for the quantitative determination of caffeic acid, and the most promising method for this is high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

AIM. This study aimed to develop and validate an analytical procedure for the quantitative determination of caffeic acid in Nonea rossica herb by HPLC.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study focused on the aerial parts of Nonea rossica plants collected in a steppificated meadow in the Novosibirsk Region during the flowering stage. The study used an Agilent 1100 Series HPLC system equipped with a Zorbax SB-C18 column (150 × 2.1 mm, 3.5 μm) and a detector operating at a wavelength of 330 nm.

RESULTS. The authors selected chromatographic conditions to obtain one peak per one molecular form of caffeic acid, acceptable resolution of the extract components, and the maximum intensity of the analyte peak. The gradient elution conditions developed in this study were as follows: a two-component mobile phase, including a 0.01 M aqueous solution of KH2PO4 with a pH of 2.70 (Solvent A) and methanol (Solvent B), and a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. Under these conditions, caffeic acid eluted at 13.5 minutes, and the total analysis time was 60 minutes. The analytical procedure was validated for its specificity, analytical range, detection limit, quantitation limit, accuracy, repeatability, and intralaboratory precision.

CONCLUSIONS. The developed and validated analytical procedure for the quantitative determination of caffeic acid in Nonea rossica herb by HPLC provides results with a relative standard deviation of ≤5.0%. The analytical procedure can be used to standardise the herbal drug Noneae rossicae herba for further use in medicinal practice.
The role of Nigeria in building sustainable development through green trade initiatives within the BRICS and AFCFTA framework
Authors: Abdullahi Abdulkarim , Ibrahim Abdulrazak Salihu
Published: February 2025

This paper is on the role of Nigeria in building sustainable development through green trade initiatives within the BRICS and the African Continental Free Trade Area frameworks. Many developing countries are focused on sustainable development, which places significance on economic growth. One of the symbols of economic growth in any country is participation in international trade. To ensure that international trade results in positive gains for any country, it is now essential for countries to make efforts towards establishing green trade. Although some countries are participating in green trade, there are still issues hanging on implementation because they are against the principles found in traditional trade barriers. Developing countries are potential key players in green trade negotiations. The low level of participation of developing countries in green trade can be connected to their lack of capacity in contributing to green trade outcomes. The paper follows a qualitative approach and uses content analysis methods. Reports indicate that the Nigeria is in the proposed stage of the initiation of discussions; this could signal bad faith. As the greatest barrier to greener trade is the lack of trust—rejecting that policy efforts exist—more accountability is required of trade policymakers. Just seeking regional cooperation and participating when demands are made proves little information on a potential platform for national action. There are options for Nigeria. It would not be sustainable to sustain a regional economy while opposing sustainability. Nigeria should attribute African state sovereignty as long as states deliver public services from shared fiscal obligations.
Analysis of lumbar dorsal spinal potentials evoked by electrical stimulation of the colon and their changes induced by high-frequency stimulation or ischemia in rats
Authors: Duarte María , Gallegos Mariangel , Arveláez América , Eblen-Zajjur Antonio
Published: February 2025

The clinical-related input and processing of intestinal afferents to the spinal cord is not well known. This study aims to develop an electrophysiological experimental animal model to study spinal cord afferents from the colon during clinical-related conditions such as hyperexcitability or ischemia. Spinal cord evoked potentials (SCEP) were elicited by colonic stimulation in ten male adult Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized with thiobarbital, 60 mg kg-1 i.p. After laminectomy (T11 to L5), a tungsten electrode (500 μm; <50Ω) was placed in the spinal dorsum to record SCEP induced by bipolar electrical stimulation of colon mucosa (basal 30 V; 1 ms) at low (0.2 Hz; 10 min) or high (5 Hz; 5 min) frequency. In 3 experiments, after the basal recording, a respiratory arrest was induced by D-tubocurarine to evaluate the ischemia effects. The SCEPs were stable and reliable (n=310), displaying a N1 wave (delay: 3.9±0.1 ms; amplitude 7.78±0.39 μV) and P1 wave (delay 9.96±0.14 ms; amplitude 2.97±0.21 μV). Colonic high-frequency stimulation induced an amplitude increase in both +11% (N1) and +23.7% (P1) (p<0.001). The ischemia induced a linear decay of both wave amplitudes more intense for the P1 wave. sensitive. These results denote the intense colonic input to the lumbar dorsal spinal cord, the presence of spinal sensory potentiation mechanisms induced by colonic high frequency stimulation, and the high oxygen dependency of the neuronal networks involved in the N1 and P1 wave generation. This experimental model could contribute to the study of visceral pain and inflammation, allowing the electrophysiological evaluation of experimental treatment response in experimental colon disease models.

This study was conducted to determine the morphometric characteristics of bull spermatozoa of different breeds and ages. This study used a Completely Randomized Design with a Factorial pattern with factor A consisting of A1 (Simmental bull) and A2 (Limousin bull), and factor B consisting of B1 (2-4 years), B2 (5-7 years), and B3 (8-10 years). The variables observed in this study included the area of the spermatozoa head, length of the spermatozoa tail, and size of the spermatozoa body. This study's findings indicate an interaction (p < 0.05) between the breed and age of the bull on the area of ​​the spermatozoa head. Still, there is no interaction between the breed and age of the bull on the length of the spermatozoa tail and the size of the spermatozoa body. This study shows that Simmental bulls have higher spermatozoa morphometric characteristics than Limousin bulls. The results of the study of spermatozoa morphometric characteristics showed that the highest spermatozoa head area was in Limousin bull aged 5-7 years, namely 35.79 ± 3.91 µm2, the highest spermatozoa tail length was in Simmental bull aged 5-7 years, namely 49.28 ± 2.38 µm, the highest spermatozoa body length was in Simmental bull aged 5-7 years, 73.02 ± 4.32 µm. The findings of this study indicate that morphometric characteristics increased at the age of 5-7 years and decreased again at the age of 8-10 years.

The number of samples used was 224 Ongole grade cows that have given birth at least once. Quantitative traits were obtained by measuring body condition scores (BCS), body length (BL), body height (BH) and chest circumference (CC). The class was based on Indonesian National Standards for Ongole grade cow breeding cattle in 2015 (Class I, II, III and Non-Class). The BCS used is the American system for beef cattle (score 1 to 9). The BL and BH were measured with a measurement stick. The CC was measured using the weight body Round-O (WB Round-O). The reproductive traits measured included service per conception (S/C), calving interval (CI), days open (DO) and estrus postpartum (EPP), which were obtained by observing cattle and interviewing breeders and inseminators. The analysis used was descriptive statistical analysis with averages and percentages and non-parametric analysis of Spearman’s correlation test.  This research concludes a significant relationship between quantitative traits and S/C with a very weak negative direction and strength of the relationship.
Fixing Reference Hallucinations of LLMs
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: February 2025

In October and November 2024, using popular LLMs like OpenAI ChatGPT (4 and below), Azure OpenAI and its Copilot instantiations, Google Gemini and GenAI LLM tuned for scientific papers like Zendy, asking a question and references produces with every LLM fake references, well constructed, but with different titles or authors than the web or journal reference actually associated to the citation, or sometimes totally invented. Prompting to ensure that the reference exists and is correct may help for some, but in general it does not. Others have reported similar issues when using these LLM/GenAI services to produce legal briefs, and other legal documents.This paper suggest simple ways to address this, instead of trying to just improve the LLMs and hope hallucinations will be reduced; they won’t, no matter what, they are inherent to LLM. It is very surprising and mindboggling that LLM providers have not been implementing these kind of solutions: just check if the references exist, are correctly cited, and relevant to the paper/context. We also expand the approach with our MultiAI approach to improve on the previous approach, or address other hallucinations; actually eliminating in our tests.
Power, ritual, and identity - A cognitive study of conversion to the Unification Church
Authors: GUÉNIN--CARLUT Avel , Dubourg Isaac
Published: February 2025

We revisit the sociological discussion around coercive conversion to the worldview of religious or political organization, building from the historical example of the Unification Church. Using the neurocomputational framework of Active Inference, we demonstrate that (in line with the current sociological consensus) there is no plausible mechanism by which organizations may erase human agency through “mind control” or “brainwashing”, for lack of a clear separation between external/social and internal/cognitive processes. However, we consider the many processes by which the Unification Church produces a material and social environment which robustly aligns the agency of members with its goals and organizational norms, giving special attention to the organization of members’ experience in Unification Church seminars and its cognitive effects. On this basis, we conceptualize identity capture as social control through the production of a rigid sense of self-identity thoroughly embedded in the social context set by an organization or elite group, which acts to structure one’s engagement with the world. Finally, we use the framework developed here to offer some considerations about the historical development of social power, and the mechanisms by which ritual has plausibly set the stage for the emergence of large scale social organization.

Published: February 2025

As the introduction of automated vehicles (AVs) into road traffic accelerates, establishing user acceptance is increasingly crucial. User comfort, largely influenced by the AVs’ driving styles, is one of the essential factors influencing acceptance. This video submission provides a methodological overview of a qualitative interview study, which used a Wizard-of-Oz method to investigate participants’ comfort levels during automated driving on real roads. By understanding the specific comfort experiences of both older and younger users, we can inform the design process for AVs, thereby enhancing user experience and facilitating broader acceptance of technology across a more diverse and inclusive demographic spectrum.
Disentangling Sadism from schadenfreude as traits using latent construct modeling
Authors: Parton Drew M. , Chester David
Published: February 2025

Sadism represents a predisposition towards enjoying the suffering that an individual causes to others. However, this conceptualization of Sadism closely abuts that of schadenfreude—finding pleasure in others’ suffering. The relationship between trait Sadism and trait schadenfreude has gone understudied. Using exploratory and confirmatory latent construct modeling with a cross-sectional and diverse sample of 314 undergraduate participants, we found that the bi-factor model of Sadism and schadenfreude that best fit the data articulated Sadism as a sub-facet of schadenfreude. However, an EFA did not find the same relationship, and instead suggested a four-factor solution that split harm-enjoying traits into higher order Sadism and schadenfreude domains that each had lower-order facets—including a malicious component of schadenfreude that most closely abuts Sadism. Future research should seek to identify the mechanisms that translate a passive, schadenfreudic disposition into actual acts of Sadistic aggression.
Inference from social evaluation
Authors: Gerstenberg Tobias , Davis Zachary J. , Kleiman-Weiner Max , Allen Kelsey R. , Jara-Ettinger Julian
Published: February 2025

People have a remarkable ability to infer the hidden causes of things. From physical evidence, such as muddy foot prints on the floor, we can figure out what happened and who did it. Here, we investigate another source of evidence: social evaluations. Social evaluations, such as praise or blame, are commonplace in everyday conversations. While such evaluations don't fully reveal what happened, they provide valuable clues. Across three experiments, we present situations where a person was praised or blamed, and participants' task is to use that information to figure out what happened. In Experiment 1, we find that people draw systematic inferences from social evaluations about situational factors, a person's actions, capabilities, and social roles. In Experiments 2 and 3 we develop computational models that generate praise and blame judgments by considering what causal role a person's action played, and what action they should have taken. Inverting these generative models of praise and blame via Bayesian inference yields accurate predictions about what inferences participants draw based on social evaluations.
Empirical Evidence for the Emergence of the Mandelbrot Set in Symbols and the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
Authors: Shirley Harry
Published: February 2025

This short preprint has been written with the help of ChatGPT 4o for the rapid dissemination of these vital findings and an expanded and improved version will be submitted to a peer-review journal in due course. The Buddhabrot fractal, a visual transformation of the Mandelbrot set, has been observed to resemble archetypal symbols across various cultural artifacts. Further alignments are found with the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. This study provides an initial yet rigorous, quantitative assessment of these similarities using edge detection, feature keypoint analysis (ORB), and statistical feature matching using ChatGPT 4o. High feature correspondence is demonstrated between the Buddhabrot and the CMB, Mona Lisa, Egyptian artifacts, Stonehenge, and Hermetic alchemical symbols, significantly exceeding random alignment controls. These findings suggest a mathematical basis for archetypal and cosmic imagery, with potential implications for art, physics, psychology, and cognitive science.
An introduction to rational constructivism in cognitive development
Authors: Gelpi Rebekah , Leon-Villagra Pablo , Buchsbaum Daphna , Denison Stephanie
Published: February 2025

Rational constructivism is a contemporary theory of cognitive development that aims to reconcile the existence of sophisticated cognitive abilities early in ontological development with the profound cognitive change we observe across childhood. The theory draws inspiration from computational cognitive science to describe children’s reasoning, concept learning, and revision as a form of probabilistic inference. Like previous constructivist theories, rational constructivism proposes that children generate and revise their own theories using the knowledge they obtain from the world; this information is integrated by using efficient, probabilistic inferential learning mechanisms to tweak or radically revise their existing theories, representations and beliefs. The paper begins with a general overview of the theory of rational constructivism, covering its key theoretical commitments and predictions. We then describe how it accounts for the empirically observed patterns of both incremental and radical developmental change observed in childhood and discuss the cognitive mechanisms of those conceptual changes. Finally, we sketch out a general computational framework for it, and address open questions and directions for future research.
The timing of an avatar’s beat gestures biases lexical stress perception in vocoded speech

Published: February 2025

Cochlear implants (CIs) are neural prostheses that restore some level of hearing capacity, albeitconveying a less fine-grained speech signal than normal hearing conditions. For example, CIsconvey altered fundamental frequency (F0) information, disrupting the perception of lexical stress(e.g., distinguishing between the noun CONtent and the adjective conTENT) in languages in whichthis feature rests on F0 modulations. CI-users can compensate for the degraded nature of theacoustic input by exploiting the audiovisual affordances of human communication, weighing moreheavily the visual information provided by the speaker (e.g., lip movements and gestures). Recentstudies showed that, in individuals with normal hearing, the timing of simple up-and-downmovements of the hand (i.e., beat gestures) biases lexical stress perception. The present study testedif the timing of beat gestures produced by an avatar can bias Dutch lexical stress perception invocoded speech, which simulates CI-hearing conditions. The bias induced by beat gestures invocoded speech was particularly pronounced when hearing an ambiguous or the least frequentstress pattern in Dutch. These results suggest that (even artificially generated) beat gestures can beused to support speech perception in CI-mediated speech, especially when processing words withprosodic features that are less frequent.
I’m Changing and I Know It? - A Daily Diary Study Concerning People’s Ability to Identify Sudden Gains and Losses.
Authors: Eckes Theresa , Nestler Steffen
Published: February 2025

Abrupt, large changes in symptom severity (sudden gains or sudden losses) can have a lasting impact on the outcome of psychological treatment. Recent theories suggest that for a lasting effect to happen, the sudden gain must be perceived and processed by both the patient and the therapist. However, it remains unclear whether patients notice sudden changes in their symptom severity. In a first attempt to close this gap, we conducted a daily diary study with a non-clinical sample consisting of 138 participants. The participants were asked to rate their self-esteem, personality, and affect, as well as to indicate whether they perceived any changes in these variables since the previous day or week. Our results replicated previous findings that sudden gains and sudden losses also occur in non-clinical samples, but are unstable and not associated with depressive symptoms in such samples. Furthermore, although we found that participants' perceptions of change were associated with their actual experiences, more fine-grained analyses showed that this association was mainly due to participants reporting correctly that they experienced no change. That is, participants had difficulty identifying sudden shifts in their experience. Altogether this suggests that sudden gains and sudden losses are not easily identified by those who experience them. We discuss limitations of our study and also point to questions for future research.
Artificial Intelligence Ethics in Psychological Support Services: Scoping Review with Systematic Literature Search
Authors: Kiuchi Keita
Published: February 2025

A systematic literature search and scoping review of published studies over the past decade was performed to put forward a framework of ethical norms for the use of AI in dialog-based interpersonal support, such as psychotherapy, counseling, and coaching. The review of 62 articles yielded 20 ethical principles categorized into five main areas—individual rights, technical responsibility, AI–human interaction, social responsibility, and professional ethics. Moreover, this proposed roles for clients and professionals as users, providers, and developers, as well as related organizations, including professional associations and government entities. The comprehensive findings of this study can serve as a foundation for the development of codes of ethics codes and guidelines for the use of AI in psychological support services, as well as for the promotion of future research in this area.
A hitchhiker’s guide to information theoretical measures in psychology
Authors: Van Santen Niels , Rosseel Yves , Marinazzo Daniele
Published: February 2025

In psychology, as in other sciences, information theory can be used as a tool tocomplement more standard regression-based methods of data analysis. It is important tosee the potential of information theoretical measures as statistical tools without implying aconnection to their origins in communication theory and engineering. The use of thesemeasures may provide us with additional insights due to their sensitivity to non-linearrelationships, their flexibility to the mixing of data types, and their more straightforwardgeneralization towards investigating higher-order interactions. We briefly reintroduceinformation theory and compare several measures such as mutual information andco-information with correlation and regression-based methods for the investigation ofvariable dependence.
