One of the health problems that occur in Indonesia is the increasing number of NCD (Non-Communicable Disease) such as heart attack and cardiovascular disease. There are two factors that cause cardiovascular disease, i.e. factor that can be changed and cannot be changed. This study aim to analyze the best performance of several classification algorithms such as k-nearest neighbors algorithm (k-NN), stochastic gradient descent (SGD), random forest (RF), neural network (NN) and logistic regression (LR) in classifying cardiovascular based on factors that caused those diseases. There are two aspects that need to be examined, the performance of each algorithm which is evaluated using the Confusion matrix method with the parameters of accuracy, precision, recall and AUC (Area Under the Curve). The dataset uses 425.195 samples from result data of cardiovascular disease diagnosed. The testing mode uses percentage split and cross-validation technique. The experimental results show that the performance of NN algorithms produces the best prediction accuracy compared to other algorithms, which is accuracy of 89.60%, AUC of 0.873, precision of 0.877, and recall of  0.896 using percentage split  and cross-validation testing mode using Orange. For the accuracy of 89.46%, AUC of 0.865, precision of 0.875, and recall of 0.895 using cross-validation testing mode using Weka. By KNIME, the result of accuracy value is 88.55%, AUC value is 0.768, precision value is 0.854, and recall value is 0.886 using cross-validation testing mode.
Study of Growth and Production of Tomato Cultivars In Response to Fruit Thinning at Tamansari, Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia
Authors: Yunita Roza , Isnaeni Selvy
Published: October 2020

Tomato is a horticultural crop that is widely cultivated in Indonesia because of its multipurpose uses. The prospect of marketing tomatoes is quite promising for local, national and export markets. The demand of tomato consumption has been increasing, but has not been supported by the availability of quality and quantity production. The area for tomato production has even been decreasing, especially in West Java, Indonesia. One of the causes of the low tomato production in Indonesia is due to the unavailability of superior varieties at the farm level, and very limited information on suitable farming technology. In addition, farmers have difficulty meeting supermarket and export standards because of the mismatch of the quality required by the market and the quality of the products. Efforts that can be made to improve the quality of tomato fruits includes the use superior varieties, and to apply better management of crop production. This study aims to determine the tomato variety which is suitable and high yielding to grow in Tamansari sub-district, Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia, and to understand the effects of thinning fruit on tomato production. The study was carried out from August to November 2018 in Taman Sari, Tasikmalaya City, in a completely randomized design with tomato variety and fruit thinning as the treatments. The study used three tomato cultivars, “Betavila”, “Tymoti”, “Martha”. The levels of fruit thinning tested were 15%, 25%, and without fruit thinning as control. The results demonstrated that the choice of tomato variety and fruit thinning had very significant effects on the yield component of tomato. “Marta” is one of the suitable varieties suggested to be cultivated in the area in Tasikmalaya, and fruit thinning at 25% gave the highest fruit yield.

Black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) is a species Ranunculaceae family which grows in the Middle Eastern and Southern Mediterranean countries. Black cumin is also known as habbatus sauda , or kalonji in South Asia. Black cumin seeds are used as spice traditional medicine; the essential oil compound in the seeds has been identified as thymoquinone. Thymoquinone has a potent antioxidant effect, which could protect organs from oxidative damage by generating free radical agents. Indonesia is one of the most geographically diverse country in the world. Some regions have scattered low and high plains, abundant sunlight, evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year, and highly diverse soil types. The purpose of this study was to study the growth, production, thymoquinone and thymol content of several accessions of black cumin with different harvesting time in D3 type climate regimes. The research was conducted from April to September 2019 in Ngadirejo Village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo Regency, East Java with an altitude of 1.680 m above sea level. The experiment used a randomized complete block design with one factor for the vegetative phase, namely accession (“American”, “Indian”, “Kuwait”, and “Slovenian”) and two factors for the generative phase, namely accession and harvesting time. The harvesting time of black cumin was conducted at 6, 7, and 8 weeks after the anthesis. “Indian” and “Slovenian” accession demonstrated the best vegetative growth, whereas “Indian” had the highest capsules number per plant, seeds weight per plant, and the highest estimated production compared to other accessions (603 kg seeds. ha-1). “American”, “Indian” and “Kuwait” accessions are well adapted in D3 type climate. The harvesting time of 7 to 8 weeks from anthesis was shown to be optimal for all accessions. Thymoquinone and thymol content for the four accessions was circa 349.64– 3,030.45 μg. g-1 of seeds and 385.56 – 2,003.46 μg.g-1 of seeds, with potential production values of 0.18 - 1.83 kg.ha-1 and 0.19 - 0.45 kg.ha-1, respectively. The optimal harvesting time to maximize seed production was unaffected by the black cumin accession.

Published: October 2020

Potato stolon and tuber number are the most important determinants of yield and these traits are associated with planting time and genotype. This study was conducted to evaluate plant growth, tuber yield contributing traits and tuber yield of potato genotypes in two planting dates. The experiment was done in randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that plant growth and traits that contribute to tuber yield of potato were significantly influenced by planting dates and genotypes. Stolon and tuber number as well as tuber weight were periodically investigated. It was observed that the performance of those traits were always higher in 23rd November planting. Different genotypes performed differently on all the studied parameters. Among the genotypes tested, G1 (AC 10069) produced the highest number of stolons, tubers, tuber weight, length and yield of tuber as compared to the check variety. It was observed that 23rd November planted G1 (AC 10069) gave the highest tuber yield (17.79 t.ha-1) which was statistically similar with G3 (AC 10110) (17.00 t.ha-1) when compared to the check variety. It can be concluded that planting time as well as genotype are the critical factors that determine potato yield.

Repeated exposure to pesticides can cause a variety of human health problems, particularly among farmers. This work consisted in studying biochemical parameters and their evolution in cotton farmers exposed to pesticides. A longitudinal study was conducted during and after the 2018/2019 cotton season on a cohort of cotton farmers around the Bala hippopotamus pond in the department of Satiri. Biochemical parameters were measured during and after the crop year on the Architect ci 4100. The majority of the farmers had high uric acid (UA) and low blood sugar (Gluc) concentrations. A few had concentrations of Cholinesterase (ChE) (6.19%); Direct Bilirubin (BilD) (23.01%); Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) (8.85%); Alkaline Phosphatase (ALkP) (4.42%); Cholesterol (Chol) (4.42%); triglycerides (Trig) (4.42%); aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (4.42%) higher than normal and lower than normal albumin (Alb) (13.27%) and total protein (TP) (13.27%) concentrations. Analysis of the evolution of biochemical parameters showed that none of the producers had higher than normal ChE and TP concentrations. After the campaign, the number of producers with lower than normal values increased for AST, AlkP, Alb and Urea while those with higher than normal values increased for GGT, UA, Gluc, Chol, Trig and BilD. Also, a significant decrease in AST, ALT and creatinine (CreaC) concentrations and a significant increase in GGT and BilD concentrations were observed. The existence of some disturbances of biochemical parameters in farmers should encourage to test the hypothesis of a link between pesticide exposure and the appearance of biochemical disorders in clinical trials.

Published: October 2020

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) toxicity is fast becoming a global health challenge due to the increase in its consumption as a food additive. This study investigated the effect of consumption of MSG and treatment with graded doses of omega 3 fatty acids (ω-3). Forty-eight male Wistar rats (n=8) grouped into six; control, MSG, MSG + Low dose of ω-3 (LD ω-3); MSG + High dose of ω-3 (HD ω-3), LD ω-3, and HD ω-3 were used for this study. MSG was administered at 4 g/L/day in their drinking water for 6 weeks, while ω-3 was administered at low and high doses of 100 and 300 mg/kg BW, p.o. respectively for 4 weeks. Results revealed that administration of MSG induced imbalance in lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and hepatic dysfunction. These were revealed by significant decreases in TG, HDL-C, CAT, GSH, albumin and total protein; but, significant increases in LDL-C, MDA, AST, ALT, ALP, and total bilirubin (TB), compared to control group. Administration of graded doses of ω-3 following treatment with MSG was characterized with significant reductions in ALT, ALP, TB and MDA. The administration of ω-3 showed no effects on the antioxidant indices. Conclusively, LD ω-3 is a potent ameliorative supplement which can be administered after pre-exposure to MSG.
Prospects of biodiversity and distribution of mushroom fungi in India

Published: October 2020

Mushrooms are precious fungi, which exists as an important and integral component of the ecosystem. They are the macro or larger fungi which possess fleshy, subfleshy, or sometimes leathery, umbrella like fructifications, which bear their spore producing surface either on lamellae (gills) or lining the tubes, opening out by means of pores. Usually the lamellate members are called ‘mushrooms’ or “toadstools’ depending upon whether or not they are edible or poisonous and therefore the tube bearing poroid members, as boletes. Mushrooms are seasonal fungi, which occupy diverse niches in nature within the forest ecosystem. Different types of edible mushrooms are cultivated on large scale for commercial use and many more species of mushrooms grow wildly in nature which has much nutritional and medicinal value. They predominantly occur during the season and also during spring when the snow melts. In the globe, biodiversity includes not only many species that exist, but also the range of populations that makeup a species and the genetic diversity among individual life forms. Macrofungi are important economically due to their importance in food, medicine, biocontrol, chemical, biological and other industries. Macrofungi are diverse in their uses as food and medicine and a number of other species function as decomposers and also form mycorrhizal associations.

Possibilities of predicting the rate of progression of liver fi brosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B
Authors: Usychenko K. M.
Published: October 2020

According to recent WHO estimates, chronic HBV infection is one of the leading causes of death and disability in patients with infectious diseases. From 780 thousand to 1 million deaths are annually recorded in the world as a result of cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. Pathogenetic features of the course and outcomes of chronic hepatitis B are determined by the immunological, genetic factors of the host, as well as the molecular biological structure of the virus.

The aimof the pilot study was to study the polymorphic loci of the cytokine genes SMAD 7 (rs4939827), TNFα (rs1800620), IL-10 (rs1800896), IL-4 (rs2243250) and the degree of structural changes in the liver based on the non-invasive Fibrotest technique in patients with chronic hepatitis B as part of a search for possible predictors of predisposition to the rapid progression of liver fi brosis.

Material and methods.The pilot study included 41 patients with chronic hepatitis B. Assessment of morphological changes (stage of fi brosis) was carried out by the method of non-invasive diagnosis of Fibrotest, which is an alternative to puncture biopsy of the liver.

Results.It has been suggested that homozygous SS alleles IL-4 (rs2243250), GG TNFα (rs1800620), SS SMAD family member 7 (rs4939827) have a protective eff ect on the course of chronic hepatitis B, as these variants of allelic polymorphism of cytokine genes were found mainly in patients with CHB with a degree of fi brosis F0-F1. The heterozygous genotypes CT IL-4 (rs2243250) and GA TNFα (rs1800620), the mutant homozygous TT genotype SMAD family member 7 (rs4939827) have a profi brotic eff ect on the course of chronic hepatitis B, as they are found mainly in patients with chronic hepatitis B with degree of fi brosis F3.

Discussion.The established relationship between the liver fi brosis stage according to the METAVIR scale and the polymorphism of the cytokine genes SMAD 7 (rs4939827), TNFα (rs1800620) and IL-4 (rs2243250) made it possible to create a prognostic scale for assessing the individual risk of rapid progression of liver fi brosis. The proposed scale, due to a comprehensive assessment of the polymorphism of cytokine gene alleles and the stage of liver fi brosis using the METAVIR scale, makes it possible to carry out an individual assessment of the risk of progression of chronic hepatitis and, possibly, draw up a personalized treatment plan for the patient. Coding of the studied polymorphisms and subsequent counting can be automated, which does not require signifi cant fi nancial investments.

Published: October 2020

El Palacete Modernista Teófilo Álvarez Cid, declarado Bien de Interés Cultural en 1985, posee un gran valor patrimonial para la ciudad de Córdoba, pues representa los cambios arquitectónicos y estéticos que se introdujeron en la Córdoba de principios de la centuria. Este peculiar edificio, proyectado por el arquitecto Adolfo Castiñeyra y Boloix en 1907, es actualmente la sede del Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Córdoba, y aunque ha sido objeto de interés por parte de algunos investigadores, hasta ahora no se había desarrollado un estudio monográfico sobre el edificio aunando todas las intervenciones realizadas, como las llevadas a cabo por el arquitecto Juan Serrano Muñoz, o la propuesta realizada para el concurso de ampliación de la sede colegial, a cargo de los arquitectos Sara de Giles Dubois y José Morales Sánchez.
Monjes y traductores: Kumārajiva y Xuan Zang, difusores del budismo en China
Authors: Cao Xuanzi , Franquesa Godia Montserrat
Published: October 2020

La expansión del budismo desde la India hacia Oriente se produjo durante las dinastías Han y principalmente Jin, como resultado de la labor traductora de Kumārajiva. Sus versiones de los originales en sánscrito al chino, más comprensibles que las existentes hasta el momento, recibieron la ayuda del poder oficial, gracias al cual pudo desarrollar una escuela de traducción. Dos siglos más tarde, durante la dinastía Tang y con el respaldo de la corte imperial, Xuan Zang fue el iniciador de la llamada Nueva Traducción. La recepción de los textos sagrados del budismo en China es debida a la iniciativa de monjes traductores y al interés de los órganos de poder. Se trata de traducciones determinantes para la historia de la cultura y lengua chinas. El análisis de por qué se produjeron, cuándo, cómo y con qué criterios permite comprender mejor el desarrollo social y político de los países orientales.

Published: October 2020

Este artículo surge de ITACA (Inclusión social, Traducción Audiovisual y Comunicación Audiovisual1), un proyecto de investigación interuniversitario e interdisciplinar sobre producción audiovisual accesible que pretende mejorar el acceso de las personas con limitaciones sensoriales a los medios audiovisuales. El estudio descriptivo que aquí presentamos se centra en la subtitulación para sordos (SPS) de los informativos, que suele elaborarse en directo o semidirecto. A tal fin, se seleccionaron once fragmentos de noticiarios emitidos en distintas cadenas públicas y privadas de televisión españolas. El retraso y la velocidad de lectura de los subtítulos, dos de los parámetros habituales para el análisis de la SPS, son la base de las hipótesis de trabajo y del marco analítico, cuyo objetivo es evaluar la SPS de los informativos desde una doble perspectiva, traductológica y fílmica. En líneas generales, los resultados muestran mayor retraso y menor velocidad de lectura en los subtítulos en directo respecto de los emitidos en semidirecto, lo que puede influir en la recepción por parte de los destinatarios finales.
Raising Gender Awareness in Translation through AVT and Advertising
Authors: Zaragoza Ninet Gora , Ricart Vayá Alicia
Published: October 2020

The purpose of this research is to describe a pilot study conducted with 46 Translation and Intercultural Mediation students in an English language module at advanced level. We adapt Borghetti and Lertola’s five-phase model (2014) of intercultural awareness using subtitling, a modality of AVT (Audiovisual Translation) in order to tackle gender issues and gender-related language in the subtitling of the well-known The man your man could smell like Old Spice body wash advertisement. Results show that students failed to convey the ad’s sexist message in their Spanish translation, which was further confirmed when comparing students’ translation choices with the official Spanish dubbed version of the ad. This pilot study suggests ways for Translation and English language teachers to integrate the gender perspective in their teaching whilst students become aware of their power and responsibility as translators.
Rendering Satire in Dubbing vs. Subtitling: A Case Study of the Arabic Translation of the American Sitcom The Simpsons
Authors: Yahiaoui Rashid , Hijazi Duaa , Fattah Ashraf
Published: October 2020

This study investigates translation strategies used to render satire of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons from American English into Modern Standard Arabic (Subtitling) and Egyptian vernacular (Dubbing). Besides, it attempts to unveil the contribution of language variety and translation modality in rendering satire. The study draws on Simpson’s (2003) stylistic model of satirical humour for understanding and analyzing satire. Furthermore, it adopts Mateo’s (1995) taxonomy to highlight the strategies used in dubbing and subtitling satire. Applying these two models helps in examining the issues posed by the nature of satire and the shifts in the configuration of satire when rendered from English into Arabic and the effectiveness of these shifts. The findings of the study show that the socio-cultural nature of satire poses a serious challenge for translators. Furthermore, it has proved that subtitling tends to use the literal translation strategy to render satire in instances that share the same background of the source text and has failed in dealing with sociocultural based ones. Conversely, it was observed that dubbing tends to utilize the equivalent effect strategy, which proved to be sufficient when adapting sociocultural elements of satire. Finally, language variety and translation modality seemed to govern the efficiency of rendering satire in translation into Arabic.

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord Our God, the Lord is One” (Deut 6:4)
Authors: Langer Gerhard
Published: October 2020

In rabbinic tradition, the acknowledgment of the one true God in the Shema‘ Israel emphasizes the inner cohesion of Israel as one people. In this context, the commitment to God as the one who chose the people of Israel is extremely important. The credo that only the true God of Israel can claim godhood is directed against Jewish angelology as well as against binitarianism and Christianity. Martyrdom and the commitment to the one true God receive drastic emphasis, especially in the medieval Ashkenazi tradition. The obligations to the Torah, provided for the benefit of the living, are adhered to even if they should result in death.
The Verse (‘Hear, O Israel’) in Greek Transcription on an Ancient Amulet
Authors: Bar-Asher Moshe
Published: October 2020

This study of the language of the Halbturn amulet focuses on the pronunciation of Hebrew. The Halbturn amulet shows that the shewa was pronounced as a vowel (συμα), in contradistinction to other elisions which are known elsewhere in Hebrew (σμα) and that the name Israel was sometimes pronounced with a [t] between the śin and the resh. Furthermore, the transliteration of the name (*αδωναι) with a contracted diphthong (αδωνε) points to the effect of the colloquial Greek speech on the pronunciation of Hebrew.

Qumran Calendars and the Creation
Authors: Jacobus Helen R.
Published: October 2020

This paper re-examines 4QcryptA Lunisolar Calendar (4Q317), a scroll from Qumran in an esoteric Hebrew script with many emendations that aligns the moon’s daily waxing and waning to a 364-day calendar. It seeks to ascertain whether the calendar may be exegetically related to the Creation and also discusses the text’s arithmetical relationships with the cycles of the priestly courses from Qumran, possible intertextual allusions to other lunar calendars in the Dead Sea Scrolls (4QDaily Prayers [4Q503], 4QAstronomical Enocha–bar [4Q208–4Q209]), biblical passages, and parallels with another Mesopotamian calendar text. The first transcription of the largest fragments using a Cryptic A font is here published with a commentary (in the Appendix), focusing on the text’s unusual scribal features. A reconsideration of the calendar’s structure with a new arrangement of its dates is presented.
The Temple Cult, Romanization, and the Rebels
Authors: Regev Eyal
Published: October 2020

Reading Josephus between the lines reveals the rebels’ claim of Roman desecration of the Jewish religion, and specifically of the Jerusalem Temple cult, as well as the rebels’ actions during the Great Revolt to liberate the Temple. In the following article, the rebels’ ideology will be evaluated in light of the Romanization of the cult throughout the Empire, and of the politicization of the Jerusalem Temple in particular. It will be shown that, like other cult-based native revolts against Rome, the rebels were not primarily bothered by direct violations of the Jewish law, such as the alleged deification of the emperor; rather, their ire was directed toward the more implicit Roman intervention in the Temple cult. Finally, I will argue that for the rebels, the Roman governor Florus’ passive support for pagan violation of Jewish ritual rites in Caesarea as well as his plundering of the Temple treasury in 66 C.E., finally proved the last straw.

Weiss compares the Limyra building with diaspora synagogues with regard to its architectural layout and orientation as well as with regard to the functionality of its excavated rooms and its water basin. Weiss discusses also the chancel screens with the menorah depictions and the date of structure in Limyra. As in other Diaspora synagogues, the location of the building, its construction on an earlier structure, the use of spolia, a water installation, and an ornate bima with a decorated chancel screen are the major elements supporting an argument for an identification of the Limyra building as a synagogue but only further excavations could warrant a clear identification.
An Altar in the Desert?
Authors: Schofield Alison
Published: October 2020

Jodi Magness’ proposal that an altar existed at Qumran leaves some unanswered questions; nevertheless, her conclusions are worthy of consideration. This study examines her claim that the residents at Qumran had an altar, modeled off of the Wilderness Tabernacle, through the lens of critical spatial theory. The conceptual spaces of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls, such as The Damascus Document and The Community Rule, as well as the spatial practices of the site of Qumran do not rule out – and even support – the idea that Qumran itself was highly delimited and therefore its spaces hierarchized in such a way that it could have supported a central cultic site.
The Self-Referential Coda to Avot and the Egyptian-Israelite Literary Tradition of Wisdom
Authors: Koller Aaron
Published: October 2020

It has often been noted that Mishnah Avot is heir to aspects of the biblical tradition of Wisdom. A further element of this inheritance is studied here: the tradition of ending a Wisdom book with a selfreferential coda, commenting on the value of the text just completed. A philological study of the end of Avot opens this study, and the results of that study allow us to situate the coda to Avot in the context of other codas in the Mishnah, especially tractates Neziqin and Kelim. The paper then moves to situate the conclusion to Avot in the heritage of the conclusions of earlier Jewish books of Wisdom – Ben Sira, Qohelet, and Proverbs, as well as other biblical books that show the imprint of Wisdom, such as Hosea.
Identities Masked: Sagacity, Sophistry and Pseudepigraphy in Aristeas
Authors: Klawans Jonathan
Published: October 2020

The Letter of Aristeas can best be understood when interpreters attend to the full range of postures toward Hellenism and Judaism exhibited by the various characters in the work. These stances range from the translators’ public, universalist philosophizing before the king in Alexandria to the High Priest Eleazar’s more particularistic defense of Jewish ritual law articulated in Jerusalem. Yet when the translators work on the Island of Pharos, or when the High Priest writes to the King, these characters display other sides of themselves. For the author of Aristeas – himself a Jew parading rather successfully as a Greek – knowing how much to conceal or reveal, when and where, is a fundamental skill, the secret to success for Jews in the Hellenistic diaspora.

New Fixed Point Theorem for generalized T_F -contractive Mappings and its Application for Solving Some Polynomials
Authors: MORADİ Sirous
Published: October 2020

Let (X, d) be a complete metric space. In this paper, we study some new fixed point theorems for generalized T_F -contractive mapping defined on complete metric spaces by using graph closed concept and we proved the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point. These conditions are analogous to Ćirić conditions. In this paper, we compare the two concepts of graph closed and sequentially convergent, and we show that the concept of sequentially convergent is a special case of the concept of graph closed. Also, we provide an counterexample for Dubey et. al. and provide an example in support of our main results. Finally, by using our main results, we present an application to solving some polynomials. Our results, extend several results on the topic in the corresponding literature
When homes earn more than jobs: the rentierization of the Australian housing market
Authors: Murray Cameron , Ryan-Collins Josh
Published: October 2020

This article develops the concept of housing market ‘rentierization’ to describe the shift in the treatment of housing away from its use as a consumption good to an asset from which economic rent can be extracted, with Australia as a canonical example. Rentierization encompasses, but goes beyond, the financialisation of housing that has been the focus of attention in recent political economy literature as it involves policy changes and coordination across the land and housing market, fiscal-policy as well as financial policy spheres. In addition, we argue, rentierization offers a better explanation of rising house prices than the decline in real interest rates which has come to the fore in the recent economics literature. Our study of Australia examines the returns to land and housing over time and traces the roots of rentierization to developments that preceded the financial liberalisation of the 1980s, including the privatisation of public housing in the 1960s and 70s. We consider some of the reasons for the resilience of Australia’s rentier-oriented housing model, and policy alternatives which might help reduce the logic of rentierization and, in doing so, reduce housing-related inequalities.

Fundamental Characteristics of Wi-Fi and Wireless Local Area Network Re-identification for Transportation
Authors: Goodall Noah J.
Published: October 2020

Many transportation agencies use re-identification technologies to identify vehicles at multiple points along the roadway as a way to measure travel times and congestion. Examples of these technologies include license plate readers, toll tag transponders, and media access control (MAC) address scanners for Bluetooth devices. Recent advancements have allowed for the detection of unique MAC addresses from Wi-Fi and wireless local area network (WLAN) enabled devices. This paper represents one of the first attempts to measure the fundamental characteristics of Wi-Fi re-identification technology as it applies to transportation data collection. Wi-Fi sampling rates, re-identification rates, range, transmission success rates, and probability of discovery of sensors and mobile devices were measured, and a model of probability of detection is presented. Field tests found that mobile phones routinely experienced significant time gaps between Wi-Fi transmissions. The study recommends that Wi-Fi sensors be deployed at low-volume, low-speed roadways, with sensors positioned near intersections where vehicles are likely to slow or stop. Due to Wi-Fi’s relatively low probability of discovery, the technology may produce poor results in applications that require re-identifying vehicles over multiple consecutive sensors.
Dopamine “Ups and Downs” in Addiction Revisited
Authors: Samaha Anne-Noël , Khoo Shaun , Ferrario Carrie R. , Robinson Terry E.
Published: October 2020

Repeated drug use can change dopamine function in ways that promote the development and persistence of addiction. But in what direction? By one view, drug use blunts dopamine neurotransmission, producing a hypodopaminergic state that fosters further drug use to overcome a dopamine deficiency. Another view is that drug use enhances dopamine neurotransmission, producing a sensitized, hyperdopaminergic reaction to drugs and drug cues. According to this second view, continued drug use is motivated by sensitization of drug ‘wanting’. Here we discuss recent evidence supporting the latter view, both from preclinical studies using intermittent cocaine self-administration procedures that mimic human patterns of use, and related human neuroimaging studies. These studies have implications for modeling addiction in the laboratory, and for treatment.
Using the president’s tweets to understand political diversion in the age of social media
Authors: Lewandowsky Stephan , Jetter Michael , Ecker Ullrich K. H.
Published: October 2020

(This paper is in press, Nature Communications). Social media has arguably shifted political agenda-setting power away from mainstream media onto politicians. Current U.S. President Trump's reliance on Twitter is unprecedented, but the underlying implications for agenda setting are poorly understood. Using the president as a case study, we present evidence suggesting that President Trump's use of Twitter diverts crucial media (The New York Times and ABC News) from topics that are potentially harmful to him. We find that increased media coverage of the Mueller investigation is immediately followed by Trump tweeting increasingly about unrelated issues. This increased activity, in turn, is followed by a reduction in coverage of the Mueller investigation---a finding that is consistent with the hypothesis that President Trump's tweets may also successfully divert the media from topics that he considers threatening. The pattern is absent in placebo analyses involving Brexit coverage and several other topics that do not present a political risk to the president. Our results are robust to the inclusion of numerous control variables and examination of several alternative explanations, although the generality of the successful diversion must be established by further investigation.
Does the COVID-19 war metaphor influence reasoning?
Authors: panzeri francesca , Di Paola Simona , Domaneschi Filippo
Published: October 2020

In recent times, many alarm bells have begun to sound: the metaphorical presentation of the COVID-19 emergency as a war might be dangerous, because it could affect the way people conceptualize the pandemic and react to it, leading citizens to endorse authoritarianism and limitations to civil liberties. The idea that conceptual metaphors actually influence reasoning has been corroborated by Thibodeau and Boroditsky, who showed that, when crime is metaphorically presented as a beast, readers become more enforcement-oriented than when crime is metaphorically framed as a virus. Recently, Steen, Reijnierse and Burgers replied that this metaphorical framing effect does not seem to occur and suggested that the question should be rephrased about the conditions under which metaphors do or do not influence reasoning. In this paper, we investigate whether presenting the COVID-19 pandemic as a war affects people’s reasoning about the pandemic. Data collected suggest that the metaphorical framing effect does not occur by default. Rather, socio-political individual variables such as speakers’ political orientation and source of information favor the acceptance of metaphor congruent entailments: right wings participants and those relying on independent sources of information are those more conditioned by the COVID-19 war metaphor, thus more inclined to prefer bellicose options.

Published: October 2020

In this working paper, we investigate high-level changes in the online strategic communications of organizations engaged with SDG 8.7 (ending modern slavery) during the COVID-19 crisis. We present preliminary evidence of important semantic and thematic shifts based on data from Twitter during this time, with an emphasis on developing the SOLACE (Social Listening and Communications Engagement) dashboard, and with recommendations for important future research involving the use of social media data as a basis for distilling organizational-agenda proxies based on digital campaigns and activism during times of crisis.
