Seeking Sensations
Authors:   , Stopforth Alex
Published: September 2023

Inspired by the personal experience of an intense architectural atmosphere at Teshima Art Museum in Japan, this thesis looks to explore the complexities which come together to create a highly impactful and serene atmosphere which transcends ordinary sensations to connect a person with nature and their place in it. This thesis investigates how the probability of creating such an atmosphere can be improved in the design process, and by doing so aspires to demonstrate that it is possible to increase the prevalence of architecture which can positively affect people’s wellbeing to a meaningful degree.

In order to produce recommendations for how to approach the design process in a manner conducive to producing moving or transcendent sensation, the thesis examines relevant theory on affect, sensation, art and fundamental forces of life, with a focus on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. The insights from theory are then further explored through design experiments which extend to the design process in order to discern whether the conclusions and recommendations reached do in fact help to produce transcendently affective architecture.

It is ultimately argued that the application of the theory explored in this thesis to the design process can increase the likelihood of producing the desired affects and sensations in architectural spaces, although it will always be difficult to be certain of the experiential outcome without actual construction.

Coleção Livro Didático Digital (CLDD) - Natação. vol. 8
Authors: Pinto Ricardo Figueiredo
Published: September 2023

Estou muito satisfeito e motivado a dar continuidade na produção de novos volumes da Coleção Livro Didático Digital – CLDD, que neste momento farei uma única apresentação para os volumes 8 e 9, e a razão disso explicarei em seguida.
Quando me refiro a satisfação e motivação é porque a cada e-book que produzo, e já são dez em pequeno espaço de tempo, é rico das contribuições e sugestões recebidas dos alunos que utilizaram o mesmo, bem como pela facilidade com que as aulas são desenvolvidas pela riqueza dos conteúdos previamente selecionados, porém com possibilidades de serem atualizados.
E quanto a apresentação ser única aos dois e-books é que também a experiência tem sido muito favorável ao trabalhar as disciplinas Natação e Teoria do Movimento e Educação Física de forma integrada, usando tanto os conteúdos teóricos como as atividades práticas nas duas disciplinas de forma integrada e interdisciplinar.
Outro relevante ponto a ser considerado é que em ambas, os alunos têm conseguido produzir conteúdo básico teórico-prático em forma de vídeos os quais são, e estão, disponibilizados no canal do laboratório comum as duas disciplinas o Laboratório de Desenvolvimento Infanto Juvenil – LADEINJU: https://www.youtube.com/@ladeinju/videos, contando hoje com 29 vídeos produzidos pelos alunos.
Finalizo convidando a todos a lerem os e-books 8 e 9 e nos enviarem suas considerações para que possamos cada vez mais produzir material didático importante para os graduandos em educação física da Universidade do Estado do Pará – UEPA.

Published: September 2023

A promessa da IA é que ela melhore nossa vida, pois esses algoritmos podem, teoricamente, decidir sem vieses de gênero, raça ou classe, de forma lógica e racional, evitando qualquer parcialidade e discriminação. Entretanto, pode ser que isso não ocorra tal como esperado, uma vez que todas es sas decisões referidas anteriormente, inevitavelmente, pare cem envolver padrões éticos e avaliações morais complexas, o que pode resultar em injustiças. Por exemplo, os carros au tônomos devem sempre se esforçar para minimizar as baixas, mesmo que às vezes isso signifique sacrificar seus próprios passageiros para um bem maior? As armas autônomas letais devem sempre objetivar a vitória, mesmo ao custo de eliminar um alvo civil ou um soldado ferido, o que colocaria em risco a dignidade humana? As crianças devem sempre ter priorida de para transplantes de órgãos, mesmo quando um paciente mais velho é uma combinação genética melhor para um órgão disponível? Os algoritmos usados em tribunais devem sempre procurar reduzir a reincidência, mesmo resultando em uma discriminação injusta para os réus negros?

Application of business process modelling and reengineering to law making process in Poland
Authors: Mamrot Szymon
Published: September 2023

Effectiveness of services provided by the governmental institutions is determined by the quality of established law. The number of the adopted regulations is increasing but their quality is going down. Improvement of existing legislation is a time-consuming and difficult task. We propose to apply techniques of business process modeling and reengineering to im-prove quality of law in the course of law-making. The main contribution of the article is a me-thod based on application of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) to design processes introduced by the legal acts. Due to application of this method, processes regulated by legisla-tions could be failure-free and effective. This method permits to indicate how proposed amend-ments affect the regulated processes. The method was practically implemented and validated during process of law-making in Poland. This case empirically confirmed that application of our method could enhance the quality of public processes regulated by legislation.
Casual Social Media Use among the Youth: Effects on Online and Offline Political Participation
Authors: Barati Mehdi
Published: September 2023

Previous studies suggest that social media use among the youth is correlated with online and offline political participation. There is also a mixed and inconclusive debate on whether online political participation in the youth increases offline political participation. This study uses three models of OLS, two-way fixed effects, and an instrumental variable approach to make causal inferences about the social media use and online and offline political participation of the youth. The analyses provide evidence of a significant effect of casual social media use on online political participation and no effect or negligible effect on offline political activity and voting behavior. The results from fixed effects and instrumental variable models provide strong evidence of elasticity between online political participation and offline political activity in young individuals. On average, a one percent increase in online political participation increases the offline political activity index by 0.12 percent.
Democratising Democracy: Votes-Weighted Representation
Authors: Major Guy , Preminger Jonathan
Published: September 2023

Democracy is in retreat around the world. To reduce the UK’s own democratic deficit, support is growing for some kind of proportional representation. We propose that existing versions of PR can be greatly simplified and improved on by giving each representative voting power in the assembly proportional to the number of votes they have been given by the electorate: “Votes-Weighted Representation”. Under VWR a country/region is divided into multi-member constituencies. Each voter has a single vote. Ballot papers list the candidates (each party can field several), whom voters then rank. The candidate with the fewest votes (top preferences) is eliminated, and their votes are transferred to next preferences, repeating until the number of candidates remaining equals the number to elect. Optionally, given sufficiently secure and accessible voting software, every voter can also have a 'dynamic' second vote, which they can arbitrarily split and delegate to any representatives from any constituencies, for however long and on whichever issues they wish; delegated votes are added to representatives’ vote weights. Any voter can override the delegation of their second vote on any issue, and remotely vote on it in the assembly themselves, directly. Compared with existing systems, these proposals will allow more accountable, more responsive and finer-grained coverage of the inherently multi-dimensional political space, including between elections. Fewer votes will be wasted, and better proportionality of voting power in the assembly should be achievable than under comparable Single Transferable Vote (STV) and highest averages or highest remainders methods for apportioning representatives. Also, fewer votes will be wasted compared with using electoral thresholds without vote transfers from eliminated candidates. Political fragmentation should be largely avoidable by using 6- or 7-member constituencies, without unduly compromising proportionality for bigger parties, or the diversity of elected representatives. Our proposals should help democratise democracy, improve its functioning, and reverse its global retreat.
Internet Voting for Policy Proposals: Amplifying Open Government in Chile and Colombia
Authors: Khutkyy Dmytro , Laureda Eduardo Astudillo
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates the impact of internet voting for draft policy proposals in the framework of Open Government Partnership, on the whole ecosystem of open government in Chile and Colombia. The research objective is, to identify the impact of i-voting for policy proposals on voters, civil society organizations, government authorities and open government overall, taking into account public transparency, civic participation and public accountability. Methodologically, this international comparison of case studies has employed a mixed methods approach including the analysis of applied reports, legislation, social media and expert interviews. It was found that in Chile and Colombia, the i-voting for policy proposals helped bridge remote parts of the countries and thus, make democratic participation more inclusive. Ultimately, the non-binding consultative i-voting for draft open government policies in both countries empowered civil society, working in the open government domain to advocate sectoral policies to be introduced by the government.
Continuity in Peirce's Lesson in Elocution: A Performance-based Approach
Authors: Fischer Iris Smith
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Peirce's "Lesson in Elocution" (written ca. 1892) provides insight into his ideas on continuity and community through his knowledge of performance cultures such as theatre, elocution, rhetoric, and declamation. This unpublished manuscript constitutes the extant part of an application Peirce drafted to the Episcopal Church's General Theological Seminary for the position of elocution instructor. Continuing Henry C. Johnson, Jr.'s account (published in Transactions [2006] vol. 42, no. 4) of the Lesson as evidence of Peirce's religious practices, this article explores the Lesson as demonstration of his performance knowledge and experience. What would Peirce have brought as philosopher and scientist to the teaching of elocution? Conversely, what did his performance knowledge bring to his work on continuity and community? Outlining significant differences between Peirce's semiotic approach and that of the Seminary's then-current instructor, Francis Thayer Russell, the article argues, employing selected performance theory concepts, that performance often operates in semiosis itself, as Peirce defined it.

Published: September 2023

Thiazine derivatives, particularly chalcones, have garnered attention owing to their broad agricultural applications. This study aimed to synthesize chalcone derivatives and evaluate their insecticidal efficacy against Dubas bugs on date palm trees. In this study, we synthesized chalcone derivatives (A and B) via the condensation of p-substituted acetophenone and terephthalaldehyde in a basic medium. The compounds were characterized using 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy and evaluated for their insecticidal activity against Dubas bugs affecting date palm trees. Compound C, synthesized at a concentration of 7000 ppm, exhibited the highest efficacy in reducing dubas populations within the shortest time. Molecular studies revealed that all synthesized derivatives inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE), as confirmed by their interaction with the crystallographic structure of AChE (PDB ID:6xyu).

Published: September 2023

Background: Fibroids are usually under-reported. It is the most common benign pelvic tumors in women. Most women may have uterine fibroids before the age of 45 to 50 years yet, its actual prevalence is unknown. It is much commoner among women of black race and has become a major presenting pathology in many gynaecological clinics. Aim: The aim of this study was to audit the pattern of presentation and the management of uterine fibroids in ESUTH Methodology: This was a 5-year retrospective study conducted in ESUT Teaching Hospital, Enugu. A total of 9,588 folders were retrieved but only 596 had adequate information needed for the study and were used for the study. Data was collected from gynaecology clinics, theatre registers and patient’s case notes using a structured proforma. The data was analyzed using Statistical Products and Service Solutions version 25.0 Results: At the end of the data collection, 9,588 women were seen at the gynaecology clinic over the 5-year period. Out of these, 596 patients diagnosed with uterine fibroids and whose case files contained the requisite information needed for the study were recruited. From the figures above, the prevalence of uterine fibroid in ESUT Teaching Hospital, Enugu, over the period was 6.2%. According to socio-demographic distribution of the patients; majority of them were aged 31-35 years (37.8%), followed by those 36-40 years (34.2%). Very few of them were aged 25-30 years (9.2%). Most of the population studied were of the Igbo ethnic group (81.7%) and majority of them (81%) were nulliparous. The major presenting symptoms among the studied population were heavy menstrual bleeding, (55.4%), abdominal swelling, (54.5%), inability to conceive, (36.4%), abdominal pain, (18.6%), incidental findings (17.8%), and polyps, (9.4%). However, some had more than one presenting complaints. Regarding treatment options, majority (64.4%) had myomectomy, 27.3% had procoagulants like tranexamic acid, 18.8% had progestogens, 18% had NSAIDs for pain and bleeding, 9.4% had polypectomy, 8.6% had GNRH-analogue, while only 1% had hysterectomy. However, 19% did not receive any treatment, while many receive more than one treatment. There were varying degrees of influence by age and parity on the clinical presentations and treatment options accepted by the patients. Conclusion: The prevalence of uterine fibroid was found to be more among nulliparous women aged 24 to 30 years. A significant number presented with menorrhagia and inability to conceive. Majority of them chose myomectomy as an option of treatment.

For socioeconomic growth and environmental wellbeing of the populace, the availability and sustainable management of groundwater resources is very crucial. Effective management and use of this invaluable resources requires an understanding of the subsurface geological formations and their impact on groundwater. This study was carried out in other to delineate the subsurface geological formations and evaluate their impact on groundwater availability in Umunneochi Local Government Area (L.G.A) of Abia State and its environs using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) analysis. The study includes gathering resistivity data via a network of VES surveys carried out at twelve key locations in six selected town within Umunneochi L.G.A. The field data were subsequently interpreted using an iteration software IP2WIN to identify various geological formations and evaluate their potential as aquifers, which substantially impact groundwater occurrence and distribution. The research findings showed distinct geological units with resistivity values ranging from 0.37 - 2000Ωm, which is indicating a variety of lithological properties, with sand and gravel layers showing higher permeability representing potential aquifers. The results of this study have significant implications for groundwater management in Umunneochi L.G.A. and its surroundings, and also provide recommendations for the strategic placement of boreholes and wells to maximize groundwater extraction and long-term use.

All fields of medicine have had to change and adapt in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this respect, frail and immunocompromised patients have been particularly affected. Such patients are commonly treated in oncology, a field that has witnessed a revolution in its protocols, as physicians and institutions address this new situation. This paper details the aspects of oncology that have been affected by the pandemic, in areas such as chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy, together with the sharp rise in the use of telemedicine. Some of these changes will probably be permanent and may even come to be seen as a positive outcome of the pandemic.

Published: September 2023

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate students’ preference for food prepared in university dining halls. The students’ understanding of cooking methods and related health states based on their food choices were also examined. Methodology: A quantitative research method was employed using a one-way analysis of variance. The conceptual model of food choice was used to determine the reasons for students’ preferences for campus food. The study was conducted from September to November 2018; six cooking methods were identified and a record of 98 meals was captured for investigation. Undergraduate students were invited to participate in the investigation and 461 were retained for analysis. Results: Stir-frying is a common method in food preparation, followed by frying. Students had a strong preference for food prepared by baking, frying, and boiling. Less preference was seen for food prepared by steaming and stir-frying. Freshmen students were in favour of college food but their interest declined when they reached senior level. An unhealthy food choice understanding was observed. This understanding may indicate unhealthy perceptions of food intake. Such unhealthy food choice habit does not decrease with increasing age. Conclusion: The food choice decision involves a complex cognition process towards food understanding, mindset, and previous experiences. It will be an undesired consequence if unhealthy food choices are being reinforced because of the unhealthy or not preferred methods of food preparation. This study’s findings indicate such connections, and future studies should analysing food processing and health development.

The study examined the impact of urbanization size and deforestation environmental degradation on economic growth in Nigeria. Specifically, the study sought to: determine the impact of urban population size environmental degradation on the economic growth in Nigeria and ascertain the impact of deforestation environmental degradation on the economic growth in Nigeria. This study made use of ex post-facto research design. The method of data analysis was Autoregressive distributive Lag model. The data of the study were real gross domestic product (RGDP), total deforestation (FOREST), urban population size (UPS), non-renewable energy consumption carbon emission (NREC), industrial sector carbon emission (ISC), electricity generation carbon emission (EGC) and were sourced from on-line World Bank Data indicators over the period of 1991 to 2022. The empirical results show that: urban population size environmental degradation has 22% negative and insignificant impact on economic growth in short run (Probability value of 0.7660 > 0.05) and deforestation environmental degradation has 49 % positive and insignificant impact on economic growth in short run (Probability value of 0.7660 > 0.05). The study government should provide farmers with farm inputs and extension services to educate rural peasant farmers on latest local techniques for maximum output. Farmers should engage in bush fallowing to allow unfertile land to regenerate after some reasonable number of years before putting the land into use.
Implementasi Kebijakan Pengelolaan Penambangan Minyak Bumi Secara Tradisional Di Langkat
Authors: Hadilinatih Bening
Published: September 2023

Kebijakan pemerintah yang bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan produksi minyak, selain dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan produksi minyak, juga dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat di sekitar pertambangan, khususunya bagi masyarakat yang berpartisipasi dalam melakukan penambangan secara tradisional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana implementasi kebijakan pemerintah dalam mengatur kegiatan penambangan minyak bumi secara tradisional yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat lokal di Kabupaten Langkat, Sumatra Utara serta factor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan melalui pencarian dokumen, wawancara, dan pengamatan langsung di lapangan. Informan dipilih secara sengaja yang dianggap mewakili semua anggota kelompok penambang dan informan lain yang dapat memberikan informasi tentang pelaksanaan penambangan tradisional secara jelas dan lengkap. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas penambang masih rendah sehingga partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan pengusahaan penambangan pada sumur tua belum dapat diandalkan sebagai sumber peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat secara keseluruhan. Kapasitas yang rendah dipengaruhi oleh sikap dan komitmen lembaga pelaksana kebijakan penambangan minyak di sumur tua yang belum peduli dengan karakteristik para penambang. Selain itu kebijakan komunikasi antar aktor masih lemah dan tidak ada pengaturan operasional manajemen sumber daya. Hubungan kewenangan antara masyarakat penambang dengan lembaga-lembaga pengelola penambangan belum mencerminkan adanya pola hubungan yang demokratis. Hal ini tercermin dari struktur birokrasi yang kaku dan pengaturan pembagian kewenangan yang masih bersifat sentralistis

Dialektika Legalitas Hak Asasi Manusia dan Rasionalisme Moral
Authors: Leatemia Philip Josep
Published: September 2023

Human rights are basic rights or basic rights that humans are born with as a gift from God Almighty. These human rights form the basis of other rights and obligations. As is known, in addition to human rights, there are human obligations that should receive attention first in their implementation in our social life. We must fulfill our obligations first, then demand rights.
In an individualistic society, there is a tendency for excessive prosecution of the implementation of these human rights, even though the implementation of human rights cannot be demanded absolutely because the prosecution of the implementation of human rights means violating the same human rights of other people.
For example, print and television news reporters often use argumentation in finding or interviewing artists who have personal problems, these reporters dig and interview artists down to the most personal issues in the artist's life, and if the artist refuses or is angry, the answer is: the journalist is carrying out his journalistic duties and they demand that their human rights be fulfilled or obeyed so that the artist must tell his problem. Here it can be seen that on the journalist's side, he demands that his human rights be fulfilled, on the other hand, it can be seen that the artist's human rights are trampled on by the journalists, which means that the artist's human rights are violated by the journalists.
The question is: Where is the legality of human rights and moral rationalism???

At trial, the panel of judges did not find anything that could absolve the defendant of criminal liability, either as a justification or an excuse, so the defendant must be held accountable for his actions. Because the defendant is capable of being responsible, he must be found guilty and sentenced.

Furthermore, the specification of this research is descriptive-analytical, namely by providing an overview of the problems raised and providing an analysis of the problem to be able to provide answers to these problems. Methods of data collection using library research that is testing the document materials and library materials used in this study. The data were analyzed qualitatively normative, namely conducting research by interpreting and constructing statements contained in statutory regulations. The thesis statement is that the Consumer Protection Act in the implementation of the protection of consumer rights has not been fully realized, mainly related to behavior to fight for rights, such as advocacy rights and the right to obtain compensation. The obstacles to implementation are related to factors that are not known in detail about the rights and obligations of the consumers. So housing consumer protection in the Consumer Protection Act had not played a role as expected when it was enacted, namely providing legal protection for consumer rights. This can be seen from the many violations related to buying and selling houses, where the parties who are greatly disadvantaged here are the housing consumers. Government control is still weak on business actors in the housing industry or developers, only limited to licensing alone, while regarding the interaction or direct relationship between developers and consumers, the government does not intervene.

The tendency of consumers to buy and use famous brands is a lifestyle for some people in this modern era. Considering that generally goods/services of well-known brands have a relatively more expensive sale value when compared to non-branded goods/services, so their existence is often used by parties who are not responsible for producing counterfeit goods/ services or selling counterfeit goods/services with us and utilize well-known brands. Therefore the use of a well-known trademark that has been registered by another unauthorized party will bring legal impact and loss to many parties, the first party that loses is the owner of the registered brand, and this will lead to fraudulent competition, the second party to be disadvantaged is the consumer community who buy and consume counterfeit products using well-known brands which should be protected from misleading behavior, other parties who are also disadvantaged by the use of well-known brands are the government/country in addition to not getting fees from the distribution of these well-known brands will also affect the country's image from the international business environment. In this study, the author tries to find out how the form of legal protection against "Famous brand holders" and against "Cosmetics" from the illegal use of famous brands and what needs to be done by the government to protect the practice of using registered (well-known) brands from the use of parties who are not entitled to.

The confused flour beetle cause economic losses in stored products, especially in products obtained from wheat. Although using insecticides against storage pests is an effective method, their frequent and continuous use can lead to resistance and toxicity issues in non-target organisms. In this study, the effect of local Beauveria bassiana isolates (BMAUM LD.2016 and BMAUM M6-4) on the 3rd instar larvae of confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum) was determined under laboratory conditions. As a result of the experiment, both isolates of B. bassiana were found to be more effective on the larvae in the spraying method compared to the dipping method. In the spraying method, mortality rates on the 9th day were 72% in BMAUM LD.2016 isolate, 34% in the dipping method, respectively. Mortality rates of BMAUM M6-4 isolate were recorded as 96% in the spraying method and 8% in the dipping method. In the spraying method, the mortality date (LT50) was determined as 6.09 days for BMAUM LD.2016 isolate and 3.90 days for BMAUM M6-4 isolate. The LT50 value could not be calculated in the dipping method, since the mortality rates were below 50% for both isolates. BMAUM M6-4 isolate caused higher mortality in larvae than BMAUM LD.2016 isolate. As a result, B. bassiana isolates have shown a high level of effectiveness against T. confusum, demonstrating that they can be used as isolates for insect control.

Background: Internet addiction is a growing concern worldwide, affecting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. To date, little is known about the demographic, physical, and psychological characteristics of Turkish adults with internet addiction. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the possible associated demographic, physical, and psychological characteristics of internet addiction in Turkish adults, with the goal of informing prevention and intervention efforts. Methods: The sociodemographic information collected in this study included age, gender, dominant upper limb, educational status, employment status, size of place of residence and smoking use. The Internet Addiction Scale was used to assess internet addiction. International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess physical activity levels. Beck Depression Inventory was used to assess depression-related symptoms, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep quality. Results: The participants in the study had an average age of 45 years with a standard deviation of ±9 years, ranging from 18 to 65 years. The multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that among the variables studied, only moderate or severe depression was significantly associated with strong internet addiction with an odds ratio of 11.496 and a p-value of 0.002. None of the other variables showed a significant association with strong internet addiction (p>0.05). Conclusion: Overall, the findings of this study highlight the importance of considering depression as a potential risk factor for internet addiction. Future research could explore the underlying mechanisms and causal pathways between depression and internet addiction, and investigate potential interventions to address this issue.

Greenwashing trong ngành đồ uống và thời trang nhanh: Tác động môi trường đằng sau hình ảnh đẹp như tranh vẽ
Authors: La Viet-Phuong
Published: September 2023

Trong những năm gần đây, khái niệm phát triển bền vững đã trở nên phổ biến trong các ngành công nghiệp trên khắp thế giới. Người tiêu dùng ngày càng tỏ ra quan tâm đến tác động môi trường tạo ra từ các lựa chọn của họ, điều này đã thúc đẩy các công ty phải sử dụng các thông điệp và biện pháp thân thiện với môi trường. Mặc dù những nỗ lực thực sự hướng đến sự bền vững là đáng khen ngợi, nhưng đã xuất hiện một xu hướng đáng báo động: hiện tượng "tẩy xanh" (greenwashing). Trong các hoạt động tẩy xanh này, các công ty thường phóng đại hoặc trình bày sai những nỗ lực về môi trường của họ để thu hút những người tiêu dùng có ý thức về môi trường. Vụ bê bối "Diesel sạch" của Volkswagen vào năm 2015 đã chỉ ra hiện hiện tượng tẩy xanh đáng báo động trong các doanh nghiệp. Tình trạng này đã lan rộng sang nhiều lĩnh vực khác nhau, bao gồm cả ngành đồ uống và thời trang nhanh.
Beyond the Screen: Parents’ Experiences with Student Activity Monitoring in K-12 Schools
Authors: Thakur Dhanaraj , Grant-Chapman Hugh , Laird Elizabeth
Published: September 2023

The role of technology in K-12 education continues to grow, and schools across the U.S. are turning to monitoring technologies to track students’ online activity. Yet, as student activity monitoring has become commonplace, students and parents report concerns about irresponsible uses of these tools even as they recognize their potential benefits. Over the past two years, the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) has investigated the rise in popularity of student activity monitoring technology, and the benefits and risks it poses to students’ well-being. To examine these impacts in greater depth, CDT recently conducted twenty interviews with parents whose children have experienced short- and long-term consequences based on the use of student activity monitoring technology. This new research sheds light on the first-hand experiences of students and their families who were impacted by student activity monitoring.
Computation of Geometric Series: A New Approach
Authors: Annamalai Chinnaraji
Published: September 2023

This paper presents a technique for the computation of novel geometric series that is used for application of computational science. Computational science is a rapidly growing multi-and inter-disciplinary area where science and technology and its collaboration use advance computing capabilities to understand and solve the most complex real-life problems. Also, the growing complexity of mathematical and computational modelling demands the simplicity of mathematical equations for solving today’s scientific problems and challenges. For this purpose, a new generalized geometric series is introduced in this article.

No Evidence that Reversibility Affects Causal judgments in Late-preemption Cases
Authors: Henne Paul , Perez Karla , McCracken Chad
Published: September 2023

Recently, Ross and Woodward (2022) argued that the reversibility of an outcome—that is, whether the outcome can be undone—affects causal judgments. One prediction of their account is that reversibility affects causal judgments in late-preemption scenarios, where people typically judge that events that produce the outcome earlier are more causal than preempted alternative events that would have otherwise produced the outcome. Ross and Woodward’s account predicts that when the outcome is reversible, people would judge these events similarly—as in standard overdetermination cases. In three experiments, we found no evidence that reversibility affects causal judgments in late-preemption cases. We discuss how these results affect the experimental philosophy and cognitive science of causation, causal modeling, and experimental jurisprudence.

This paper aims to explore if and when Article 98 Agreements restrain the ICC’s activities by fully analysing their consistency with the Rome Statute and the related issues of the law of treaties. Moreover, the findings of this analysis can apply, mutatis mutandis, to extradition treaties and status of forces agreements (SOFAs), which were explicitly mentioned in the drafting process of Article 98, paragraph 2, of the Statute. In light of the fact that extradition treaties and SOFAs are quite common, it can be said that this paragraph could have a significant impact on the ICC’s future activities. The table of contents included in this part 3 is as follows: Chapter 3 Analysis of Article 98 Agreements’ Consistency with the Statute and the Related Issues of the Law of Treaties (Continued) (Section 2 Article 98 Agreements’ Consistency with the Statute (1. Interpretation of Article 98, Paragraph 2, of the Statute ((A) Meaning of the Term “surrender” / (B) Meaning of the Term “the requested State” / (C) Meaning of the Phrase “its obligations under international agreements”))) .
