Cli-fi videos can increase charitable donations: Experimental evidence from the UK
Authors: Shreedhar Ganga , Sabherwal Anandita
Published: October 2023

Recent research has begun to investigate if climate fiction, or cli-fi, can increase people’s support for pro-climate initiatives. Emerging evidence focuses on whether cli-fi stories affect people’s self-reported emotions, attitudes, and intentions. Few studies, however, examine the effect of such stories on revealed behavior, and whether the cli-fi story medium, i.e., whether stories are presented in text, audio, or audio-visual format, matters. We investigate the causal effect of cli-fi stories, and the medium through which they are communicated (textual, audio, or audio-visual) on self-reported support for climate policy, individual and collective action intentions, and a revealed measure of charitable donations. In a pre-registered online experiment (n=1085 UK adults), participants were randomly assigned to one of 5 conditions– to read scientific information about climate change (scientific information condition), read a story unrelated to the environment (control), read a cli-fi story in which a protagonist took intentional pro-environmental actions (fiction text), listen to the same cli-fi story in audio format (fiction audio), or watch an animation of the cli-fi story (fiction video). When comparing the fiction-text, fact-text, and control conditions, we found that cli-fi stories are not always more effective than alternative climate communications: participants in the fact-text condition reported higher support for climate policies, and intentions of taking individual environmental actions, and negative feelings of sadness, disappointment, and guilt, compared to the text-based control and cli-fi text condition. When comparing the cli-fi media format, we found that cli-fi videos were most effective in increasing pro-environmental charitable donations in an incentivized choice task, and self-reported feelings of happiness, hope, and inspiration. The findings show that scientific information about the climate and climate-fiction have an important place in the climate communications toolkit and can offer distinct pathways to enhance support for policy and behavioral change. Communicators seeking to inspire individual pro-environmental actions can consider telling cli-fi stories in video, which may be more compelling. And communicators seeking to enhance public support for societal changes, via climate policies, may benefit from disseminating scientific information about climate change.

THE ROLE OF TEMPORAL ADAPTATION AND ANTICIPATION MECHANISMS IN REDUCING IMPACT OF ERRORS IN MUSICAL JOINT ACTION
Authors: Radice Marta , Maksevicius Rokas , Keller Peter E. , Ciardo Francesca
Published: October 2023

During complex social interactions like musical ensemble performances, people “stay in the loop” thanks to intentional and planned interpersonal coordination. This is particularly relevant when during a shared task, our partner commits an error. The present study aimed to evaluate how a leader-follower pair of individuals adapt their performance to reduce the negative impact of errors on coordination during a musical task. To this end, we asked pairs of participants to perform a musical sequence production task in three different conditions, across which we manipulated the frequency of error occurrence (0 vs. 60% vs. 30%). Each member of the pair was assigned to either the role of leader or follower. The leader had access to a visual metronome indicating the correct tempo and sequence of keys, including ‘errors’, to be played during the tasks. The follower was instructed to play the correct sequence of keys at the tempo of the leader. Results showed that for sequences including errors, participants’performance was characterized by lower variability in asynchrony and higher interpersonal coupling compared to correct sequences. Results are interpretable in terms of top-down control over sensorimotor mechanisms of coordination.

AI and National Security: The Geopolitical Implications of Autonomous Weapons and Cyber security
Authors: Egon Kaledio , ROSINSKI JULIA , KARL LETHO , EUGENE RUSSELL
Published: October 2023

A. Overview of AI's role in national securityArtificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in the realm of national security. The use of AI technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, has become integral to various aspects of a nation's security apparatus. AI's role in national security extends to areas like intelligence gathering, threat analysis, decision-making support, and operational effectiveness. It has the potential to enhance military capabilities, improve cybersecurity, and revolutionize the way governments safeguard their interests.B. Significance of autonomous weapons and cybersecurity in the geopolitical contextAutonomous weapons and cybersecurity have risen to the forefront of discussions surrounding AI and national security, and their implications on the geopolitical stage are profound. Autonomous weapons, including drones and military robots, can operate without direct human control, raising ethical, legal, and strategic concerns. Their deployment has the potential to change the dynamics of armed conflict, affecting how states engage in warfare and altering the balance of power among nations.Cybersecurity, on the other hand, is a critical component of national security as the digital landscape becomes a battlefield of its own. AI-driven cyberattacks and defenses have the potential to disrupt critical infrastructure, steal sensitive data, and manipulate public perception. The interplay of AI in cybersecurity can lead to both offensive and defensive strategies, with states vying to protect their digital assets and exploit vulnerabilities in adversaries' networks.This paper will explore the geopolitical implications of these two key aspects of AI in national security, focusing on how they impact international relations, strategic doctrines, arms control agreements, and the overall stability of the global security landscape. By examining the significance of autonomous weapons and cybersecurity in the context of AI and national security, we can better understand the evolving dynamics of geopolitics in the 21st century.

Published: October 2023

Toleransi beragama dapat dicapai jika setiap anggota masyarakat saling terbuka untuk menjaga perdamaian. Sikap terbuka dalam kehidupan beragama, bisa diwujudkan dalam sikap, dikaitkan dengan kemajuandan kehidupan masyarakat yang multidimensi. Saling percaya pada keutuhan umat yang lain untuk menerapkan ajaran beragama, keyakinan serta kebiasaan anggota agama yang lain,ada kemungkinan perbedaan ajaran agama lain, kepercayaan serta kebiasaan masyarakat. Toleransi yang ada dapat dilihat secaranyata dari aktivitas-aktivitas sosial yang dilakukan sehari-hari di lingkungan sosial secara gotong royong baik itu kegiatan yang menyangkut kepentingan umum maupun kepentingan perseorangan. Individu-individu yang berbeda agama, ras, suku, bahasa bekerjasama dengan tidak memandang status perbedaan agama yang dianut. Toleransi antar masyarakat merupakan suatu mekanisme sosial yang dilakukan manusia dalam menyikapi keragaman.
Xist induction following p53 disability features SynJ1 modulation.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2023

We recently described a sex-specific transcriptional regulation mechanism, found in physiologically relevant settings in breast cancer cells in vitro and in cells of the embryo in mice and humans, wherein mutation or loss of the p53 tumor suppressor results in transcriptional perturbation of the non-coding RNA that functions in X-inactivation, Xist, with this transcriptional change being among the most quantitatively substantial changes transcriptome-wide - naturally, in the presence of p53 mutation, or experimentally following deletion of p53 (1). Here, we studied p53 wild-type and p53 mutant breast cancer cell lines, mouse embryonic stem cells deficient in p53, as well as Xist-positive and Xist-negative human embryonic stem cell clones (2-4) to understand the transcriptional consequences of Xist up-regulation following loss of p53 tumor suppression in development and transformation. We reveal modulation of SynJ1 as a transcriptional feature of Xist induction following impairment (disability) of p53.

Chronic Lack of meaning and purpose: Empirically derived definitions and clinical implications
Authors: Cook Julene M
Published: October 2023

AbstractOBJECTIVESLife is experienced as without meaning and/or purpose across multiple clinical presentations. Tripartite theories divide the literature into meaning as comprehension/coherence, as purpose and as significance/mattering. However, the field remains divided about what meaning in life actually is, due to the continuing lack of empirically derived definitions to guide research and clinical practice. This study aimed to fill that gap and in so doing, identify targets for resolving lack of meaning and purpose. DESIGNThis qualitative study used rigorous, systematic and replicable procedures in applying Husserl’s empirical phenomenological principles; that a human experience can be defined through suspending preconceptions about it and identifying the commonalities between the detailed descriptions of first-hand experiencers. METHODSTwenty-four self-identified experiencers of chronic lack of meaning and purpose gave detailed descriptions of it via open-ended, a-theoretical interviews that produced a transcribed database of roughly 300,000 words. Each interview was micro-explicated by annotating every idea within it and producing a fully referenced paraphrase with emergent constituent codes attached. Defining constituents present in all transcripts were then identified through systematic comparison. RESULTSChronic lack of meaning was shown to be a gestalt of valuelessness and value-inefficacy, with value being what was important to an individual. Value-inefficacy was a self-perpetuating, multidimensional gestalt that maintained meaninglessness through reciprocal interactions between uncontrollable, value-destroying experiences, confused deficits of value-generating sense-making, dysthymic angst, the purposelessness of being without valued and attainable life goals and deficits of value-generating action.CONCLUSIONSChronic meaninglessness is a multidimensional lack of personally valued experience, which can include a lack of valued and attainable life-goals (purpose). It arises in the context of uncontrollable value destruction and is maintained by an experiential gestalt of value-inefficacy. Clinical pointers 1.Chronic lack of meaning and/or purpose is a psychological problem maintained by a multidimensional schema of value-inefficacy.2.It co-exists with a range of clinical presentations and can be causal.3.When chronic lack of meaning and/or purpose co-exists with clinical symptoms, treatment will likely be enhanced by assessing and working to resolve the gestalt of value-inefficacy that maintains it.
The Effect of Light on Wellbeing: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Landvreugd Anne , Nivard Michel Guillaume , Bartels Meike
Published: October 2023

Background: Due to the dominant presence of studies and reviews exploring the impact of light on physical and mental illness, studies specifically investigating the effect of light on wellbeing are often overshadowed. The aim of this review is to give an overview of specifically these studies conducted on light and wellbeing, and to summarize the reported effects. Methods: After a literature search in Pubmed, PsychInfo, and Web of Science, 74 studies were found eligible to be included in this systematic review, i.e. they included surveys assessing wellbeing, happiness, life satisfaction, positive affect, or quality of life. Of these 74 studies, 30 were included in the meta-analysis and assessed for their risk of bias. Results: The meta-analysis showed a pooled effect size of 0.47 (CI = 0.31 – 0.63), indicating that light has a small-to-moderate positive effect on wellbeing. The heterogeneity between the studies was high (I2 = 96.12%). After removing outliers and studies with a high risk of bias, the sensitivity analysis showed the pooled effect size to be robust (0.51, CI = 0.32 – 0.70). Conclusion: Although the sensitivity analysis indicated a robust effect, the results might still be biased due to the relatively small sample sizes of the included studies, risk of bias in the designs (due to e.g. difficulties dealing with confounders and the reporting of the outcomes), and publication bias. We encourage future studies to try to replicate these positive results in larger samples, and to give extensive details about the light design and statistical outcomes, to increase the number of studies that can be included in these types of systematic reviews.
Effect of Physical Exercise on Cognitive Function in People with Epilepsy: Commentary on Alexander and Allendorfer (2023)
Authors: Mulser Lisa , Moreau David
Published: October 2023

We would like to commend Alexander and Allendorfer (2023) on their paper “The relationship between physical activity and cognitive function in people with epilepsy: A systematic review”. Given recent syntheses on the effects of physical exercise on cognitive function in healthy populations (Ludyga et al., 2020; Moreau & Chou, 2019), including work in our group about the hypothesized mechanisms mediating these effects (Mulser & Moreau, 2023), we were particularly interested in applications to epilepsy. We were, however, surprised by some of the conceptual and methodological decisions in Alexander and Allendorfer (2023), particularly those related to the search and inclusion criteria, which we believe should invite caution in interpreting their findings.
Leveraging Integrative Analyses to Advance the Science of Happiness
Authors: Ong Anthony , Wilcox Kenneth Tyler
Published: October 2023

A recent review by Folk and Dunn (2023) in Nature Human Behaviour examined evidence for commonly recommended strategies to increase happiness. They concluded that, contrary to popular portrayals, the empirical basis for many such strategies is weak as most supporting studies were neither preregistered nor adequately powered. The authors rightly call for more rigorous, confirmatory research—specifically large-scale, preregistered randomized controlled trials—to definitively establish the efficacy. However, while awaiting rigorous, large-scale studies, we need not dismiss existing research entirely. Valuable signals, which could inform future investigations, may remain despite study limitations. With careful application, quantitative synthesis methods, including meta-analysis (MA) and integrative data analysis (IDA), may yield insights from current imperfect studies. By integrating rigorous emerging evidence, we can build a more nuancedcumulative science of well-being.
Protocol for measuring the benefits of exergames on executive functions under depression through a randomized multi-arm controlled experiment
Authors: Ruiz-Marquez Eloisa
Published: October 2023

Depression is characterized by affective symptoms and neuropsychological deficits. After treatment, affective symptoms frequently remit, but cognitive alterations may remain affecting the lives of people and having an impact on health, economy, and societies.The present work describes the methods, procedures, and equipment of a randomized three-arm controlled experiment designed to measure the effects of exergames on executive functions (EFs) under depression. EFs are complex functions that are essential for organizing information, planning an action, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving. Literature shows that EFs are compromised under depression, affecting daily-life activities and other cognitive domains.To conduct the experiment, middle-aged adults with depression will be randomly distributed into three experimental groups: an intervention group training with exergames, an active control group training only with cognitive video games, and a passive control group or wait list. EFs are evaluated at three different time points: before the cognitive-behavioral intervention, after the intervention, and three months follow-up, using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Researchers will collect cognitive-behavioral and neural information (event-related potentials, ERPs). Results will be explored performing analysis of variance to compare the outcomes of the diverse groups at the three different time points, understanding the benefits of exergames in terms of EFs under depression. The study of effects of simultaneous multidomain interventions on executive functions under depression holds promise for the development of novel approaches to implement psychological and neuropsychological health.TRIAL REGISTRATIONThe randomized controlled trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT06536530 on August 2024, https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06536530
Of Strong Swords and Fine Scalpels: Developing Robust Clinical Principles to Cut Through Heterogeneity
Authors: Hitchcock Peter
Published: October 2023

General scientific summary: The field of computational psychiatry has overwhelmingly focused on the goal of precision medicine (a “fine scalpels” approach). I argue for reallocating some effort toward deriving potent clinical principles to improve psychological treatments (a “strong swords” approach)—a worthwhile goal in its own right with an established track record. I draw on an example from my research program to illustrate the strong-swords approach.
Valuating Marine Knowledge: Heterogeneous Collaborations at the Concarneau Marine Station
Authors: Bogusz Tanja
Published: October 2023

Marine stations have long been explored by science and technology studies (STS) and the humanities as boundary objects between the field and the lab. Moreover, through their position, they embrace two domains which have been separated by the modern organization of knowledge – sea and society – not only epistemically, but also physically. In contrast to time-limited marine expeditions or pure laboratory work, marine stations enact “science with their feet in the water” while situated within concrete local societies. Therefore, many marine stations provide multiple ways of valuating the relation between the sea and society. However, in an era of considerable polarization regarding a sustainable future for coastal communities, valuating marine knowledge is a socially complex endeavour. Based on a two-month ethnography of the world’s oldest existing institution of this kind, the Station Marine de Concarneau in Brittany, France, the paper discusses its practical enactment of heterogeneous values associated with marine knowledge. The paper, first, introduces the Concarneau station, its particular research profile and local exposure. Second, an experimentalist approach based on pragmatism and STS is explored in order to rethink current research on the valuation of socio-marine cohesion. Third, three types of valuating marine knowledge through heterogeneous collaborations at the station are explored: a) socio-material, b) socio-epistemic and c) socio-disciplinary. Finally, the paper deduces the importance of marine stations for inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration within the global transformation of sea-society relations.

Job Exposure Matrix: Occupational Exposure Assessment to Carcinogenic Compounds
Authors: Moradpour Zahra , Mosavi Jarrahi Seyed Alireza
Published: October 2023

The Job Exposure Matrix (JEM) is a cross-tabulation of workplace and job title hazards and is an essential exposure assessment tool for epidemiological studies, cancer risk monitoring, cancer risk prevention, and cancer risk quantification in health research and occupational safety. The matrices are designed based on two population-based and industry-based approaches. In the population-based matrix, all occupations of a population are recorded, and in the industry-specific matrix, the occupations in one or more industries are recorded. Exposure to carcinogens factors is measured based on the type of exposure, taking into account three factors including intensity, period and frequency of exposure. Using job exposure matrix in epidemiological studies is easier than other traditional exposure assessment methods and leads to more saving of resources, and sometimes it is the only possible way to analyze causal relationships in very large databases.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast lumbar bone quality and osteoporosis/osteopenia screening results via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), CT, and MRI.

METHODS

A consecutive series of 426 candidates screened for lumbar disc replacement over a 5-year period beginning in 2018 was reviewed. Patients with a preoperative lumbar spine DEXA scan and a CT and/or MRI scan were included. The primary outcome measures included the bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis or osteopenia classification from DEXA scans, Hounsfield units (HUs) for CT, and vertebral bone quality (VBQ) assessment for MRI. Patients were included if they had a DEXA scan within 1 year of an MRI or CT scan. DEXA BMD scores from composite or level-by-level reports were recorded. Asynchronous MRI and CT measurements were conducted using PACS. Interrater and intrarater reliability scores were generated for both CT and MRI measurements and ranged from 1.000 for MRI L1–4 scans to 0.683 for MRI VBQ.

RESULTS

All 3 types of scans were statistically significantly correlated with one another; however, CT was more strongly correlated with the lumbar DEXA value (r = 0.439, p < 0.001). The correlation between MRI VBQ and DEXA was −0.103, (p < 0.045). The CT level-by-level measurements correlate with the corresponding level-by-level DEXA BMD values (correlation ranging from 0.531 to 0.289, p < 0.001 to p = 0.007). CT HU values were more strongly related to osteoporosis/osteopenia classification based on DEXA T-scores than were MRI VBQ values. Receiver operating characteristic analyses found that the area under the curve was 0.817 for CT and 0.539 for MRI.

CONCLUSIONS

These results demonstrate that CT HUs more closely correlate to DEXA scores than MRI VBQ in this population of patients undergoing surgery for symptomatic disc degeneration. Thus, CT may be an alternative to DEXA for assessing VBQ in this population.

En este informe se presenta un análisis de la participación política de diversos grupos poblacionales identificados como grupos discriminados en América Latina: las mujeres, las personas indígenas, las personas afrodescendientes, la población joven, las personas con discapacidad y las personas lesbianas, gais, bisexuales, trans, queer, intersexuales y asexuales (LGBTQIA+). El análisis se basa en una muestra conformada por 18 países de la region seleccionados para la realización de este estudio: Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, República Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela. Durante el estudio se consideraron seis dimensiones para evaluar el grado de inclusión de los grupos poblacionales contemplados y examinar las normativas existentes con relación a su participación política. Las dimensiones consideradas son las siguientes: (a) el marco normative internacional y regional; (b) la inclusión en las constituciones nacionales; (c) la inclusión en las leyes electorales; (d) la inclusión en las leyes que regulan el funcionamiento de las organizaciones políticas; (e) las principales medidas implementadas por los organismos electorales nacionales para promover la participación, y las normas o prácticas culturales que perpetúan la marginación y la exclusión. El análisis también incluye referencias a buenas prácticas de políticas públicas que tengan como objetivo poner fin a la exclusión o erradicar las barreras formales e informales que aún persisten y que limitan la participación política de los grupos poblacionales considerados. Para cada uno de dichos grupos, se presenta un resumen de los principales hallazgos, clasificados en función de las dimensiones antes mencionadas.
Assessing the applicability of the expanded Taylor Rule within an inflation targeting framework: Empirical evidence from Türkiye
Authors: NAİMOĞLU Mustafa
Published: October 2023

Taylor suggests that central banks should modify their short-term lending rates based on the disparities between the current and potential gross domestic product, as well as the differences between current and target inflation rates. This strategy, known as the Taylor Rule, aims to establish uniformity in the actions of central banks, safeguarding economic establishments against the burdens of uncertainty. While intricate policy regulations crafted by monetary authorities might be theoretically optimal, they tend to be burdensome for economic agents to adhere to. Conversely, the straightforward Taylor Rule is more comprehensible and implementable. Unlike the original version proposed in 1993, this approach has been expanded to encompass the influence of exchange rates. In conclusion, this research investigates the practicality of the extended Taylor Rule in the context of Türkiye, utilizing diverse datasets that contribute to the extended model. The study explores the viability of applying the extended Taylor Rule to Türkiye using annual data spanning from 1990 to 2022. To achieve this, tests for stationarity, cointegration, and long-run coefficients were conducted, with considerations for potential structural breaks. The results of the tests reveal that the policy interest rates in Türkiye do not align with the expectations outlined in the extended Taylor Rule.
Cumhuriyet’in 100. yılında dünya ölçeğinde Türk çocuklarının okuma becerileri: PISA ve üzerinde düşünmemiz gerekenler

Giderek küçülen ve daha fazla yakınlaştıran dünyada, iletişim ağları giderek büyümektedir. Geçmişte birbirlerine uzak olmalarından dolayı iletişimleri imkânsız kabul edilen ülkelerin, günümüzde yoğun ve kesintisiz ilişkiler kurduklarına şahit olmaktayız. Bu ilişkiler, geniş ve kapsamlı veri alışverişini sağlarken, ülkeler özellikle kalkınma göstergesi olarak eğitimlerini değerlendirmek ihtiyacı duymaktadırlar. Eğitimde uluslararasılaşma dediğimiz bu ilişki türü, ülkelerin eğitim sistemlerini karşılaştırmalarını sağlayan, standart test niteliği taşıyan dünya ölçekli sınavları meydana getirmiştir. OECD, PISA ve PIRLS gibi testlerle, ülkelerarası okuduğunu anlama, matematiksel muhakeme ve bilimsel düşünebilme gibi becerileri ölçmeye başlamıştır. Ölçüm sonuçları ise, uluslararası karşılaştırmaları ortaya koymuştur. Çalışmada, PISA’nın okuma becerileri ölçümlerinin ne ifade ettiği, ne ifade etmesi gerektiği ve bu sınavın dünya çapındaki eleştirisi yapılmaktadır. Sayısal verilerden çok, sınavla ilgili felsefi sorgulama ve eleştiri, sınavın olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri tartışmaya açılmış, Cumhuriyet’in 100. yılında, Türkiye’nin PISA’ya dahil olmakla, ne kazanabileceği, neye dikkat etmesi gerektiği, eğitimsel bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmayla, aynı zamanda geleceğin dünyasının eğitimi nereye taşıdığına ilişkin olarak, bir farkındalık yaratılmaya da çalışılmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, Türkiye PISA okuma becerileri açısından OECD ülkeleri arasında oldukça arka sıralarda yer almaktadır. Sınav uygulanırken, üst sıralarda yer alabilme kaygısı ve yarışı yerine, daha niteliksel kaygıların önemli olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Önemli olan Türk çocuklarının okuduğunu anlama becerilerinin geliştirilmesi ve bu durumu sağlayacak olan öğretmenlerin nitelikli olarak eğitilmeleridir.

Çalışmada, kamu kesimi transfer harcamaları ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkisi 2006:01-2023:06 dönemine ait aylık verilerden hareketle Türkiye örneği çerçevesinde analiz edilmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki ampirik ilişkinin ele alındığı modelde bağımlı değişken aylık büyüme serisini temsilen sanayi üretim endeksi olarak alınmıştır. Bağımsız değişkenler ise sırasıyla cari transferler ile iç ve dış borç faiz ödemeleridir. Serilerin durağanlığının incelenmesi amacıyla ADF, PP ve LS birim kök testlerinden yararlanılmıştır. ADF ve PP birim kök testleri durağanlıkla ilgili olarak farklı sonuçlar ortaya koymakla birlikte, LS birim kök testi sonuçları yapısal kırılmaların varlığında serilerin durağan olduklarını göstermiştir. Tam Değiştirilmiş En Küçük Kareler (FMOLS) tahmin sonuçlarına göre, cari transferler ve dış borç faiz ödemeleri ekonomik büyümeyi pozitif ve anlamlı bir biçimde etkilerken, iç borç faiz ödemeleri ise ekonomik büyümeyi negatif ve anlamlı bir biçimde etkilemektedir. Türkiye’de son yıllarda yaşanan yüksek enflasyonun ilgili model üzerinde herhangi bir etkisi olup olmadığını gösteren infdu kukla değişkeni ise istatistiksel olarak anlamsız bulunmuştur.
