JINSHAN 金山 — THE TUGU TURKS’ ANCESTRAL HOME: THE LOCALIZATION PROBLEM
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Siberian Branch of the RAS, Kubarev Gleb V.
Published: September 2024

According to the Chinese sources, the Turks’ ancestral home is the Golden Mountains/Jinshan, but opinions on their exact localization are divided. In the mid-18th century, French orientalist J. Deguignes was the first to express an opinion about Altai ancestral home of the Tugu Turks. In the 19th–20th centuries, his opinion was supported by Western European sinologists St. Julien and Liu- Mao-tsai. The founder of Russian Chinese studies N. Ya. Bichurin associated Jinshan with the south of the Russian Altai due to the presence of the highest mountains in this area and his translation and commentary on the outline of the mountains of Jinshan in the form of a helmet, which allegedly corresponds to the outlines of the mountains in the south of the Russian Altai. A. G. Malyavkin and L. A. Borovkova came to a conclusion about the mistaken identification by N. Ya. Bichurin of the Jinshan with the Russian Altai. In their opinion, the Turks’ Golden Mountains must be identified with the eastern Tianshan. In the chronicles of the Jin and Wei Dynasties the Golden Mountains/Mountain — Jinshan are repeatedly mentioned in relation to the history of the Xiongnu and Xianbi of the 3rd–5th centuries in the Northern China. The context of the mentioning of these mountains or mountain does not cause any doubts that they were located in the Gansu province, Zhangye district. These mountains are the Qiliangshan mountain range. Comparison of these data with early historical evidence about the Turks allows the author to argue that these are the Golden Mountains of the Turks. The Chinese chroniclers also referred to the Altai Mountains as Jinshan, which is reflected in the chronicles and on the historical maps. However, they had no relation to the early history of the Turks. The information of Sui-shu, Zhou-shu and Tang-shu about the ancestors of the Tugu Turks — “mixed barbarians Hu from Pingliang” — best corresponds with the written data of earlier Chinese chronicles (Jin-shu, Wei-shu) about the residence of mixed groups of Turkic and Mongolian-speaking nomads on the territory of Northern China in the 3rd–5th centuries.

Published: September 2024

Have good mathematical literacy is important to develop because it plays an important role in solving various problems in everyday life. Meanwhile, the mathematical literacy of male and female students is different. This study aims to see and describe how mathematical literacy differences in male and female students at the junior high school level. The method used in research is meta-synthesis which is carried out by analyzing qualitative data derived from various similar studies. As a result, male students have a tendency to have better mathematical literacy than female students. Of the seven indicators of mathematical literacy, male students are able to master four to seven indicators. Meanwhile, female students can only meet three to seven indicators. Male and female students have equally fulfilled communication, mathematization, and representation skills. Both also need to improve their ability to determine problem-solving strategies and provide logical reasoning and reasoning. Furthermore, the authors suggest that similar research be carried out with a longer time span and a wider range of research areas. Furthermore, it can also conduct research on high school students so that they can be compared so that it can be understood whether there are significant differences in mathematical literacy skills at both school levels. Thus, the results obtained can be represented to be used as a basis for making decisions such as the development of more inclusive and effective learning strategies in the educational environment.

Examining the robustness and generalizability of the shape bias: a meta-analysis
Authors: Abdelrahim Samah , Frank Michael C.
Published: September 2024

The “shape bias” – the bias to generalize new nouns by their shape rather than other features such as color or texture – has been argued to facilitate early noun learning for children. However, there is conflicting evidence about the magnitude and nature of this bias, as well as how it changes developmentally and how it varies across cultures. In this paper, we synthesize evidence about the shape bias using meta-analysis and meta-regression. We find strong overall evidence for the shape bias, but the literature is dominated by studies of English speaking children, making it difficult to assess cross-cultural differences. Large between-study heterogeneity also highlights procedural variation in the literature. Overall, publication bias and heterogeneity may limit the ability to distinguish theoretical accounts of the shape bias.
Breathwork, nature connection, vaccine attitudes and wellbeing: A convergent mixed methods study in Wim Hof Method practitioners
Authors: Huish Jade Leigh , Fisher Zoe , Isham Amy , Kemp Andrew Haddon
Published: September 2024

Amidst global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and the unfolding climate crisis, there's a pressing need for strategies that improve wellbeing. This study investigates the Wim Hof Method (WHM) as a potential tool for enhancing wellbeing and its influence on related aspects including nature connectedness and health attitudes, including vaccine uptake. We conducted a mixed-methods study involving an online survey with 137 UK-based WHM practitioners and in-depth interviews with 15 of these participants. The focus was on their wellbeing, perceptions of climate change, and decisions regarding vaccine use during the COVID pandemic. The findings revealed significantly higher levels of wellbeing among WHM practitioners compared to pre-pandemic and pandemic-era benchmarks. Notably, nature connectedness significantly mediated the relationship between WHM practice and enhanced wellbeing. Thematic analysis yielded seven main themes: the cultivation of positive psychological states, experience of challenging climate-related emotions, improved distress management, heightened sense of connectedness, perceived vulnerability to COVID-19, moral and social responsibility, and the recognition of opportunities for positive change. These themes underscore WHM's role in not only bolstering human wellbeing during adversity but also highlight opportunities for promoting environmentally sustainable behaviours by reconnecting people to nature. This dual benefit highlights WHM's potential in fostering human flourishing as well as environmental stewardship.

Short-term pitch memory predicts both incidentally and intentionally acquired absolute pitch categories
Authors: Van Hedger Stephen Charles , Jovanovic Katarina , Grenier Andre , Hoh Sum Yee
Published: September 2024

Tonal short-term memory has been positively associated with both incidentally acquired absolute pitch memory (e.g., for popular songs) and explicitly learned absolute pitch (AP) categories; however, the relationship between these constructs has not been directly tested within the same individuals. The current study investigated how tonal short-term memory relates to both incidentally and intentionally acquired AP. Participants (n = 192) completed a tonal short-term memory task, an incidental AP task, and an AP categorization task. The tonal short-term assessment involved adjusting a starting tone to match a target tone. The incidental AP task involved judging whether excerpts of popular songs were presented in the correct key. The AP categorization task involved associating six pitch chroma categories with arbitrary labels, including a generalization test that used Shepard tones to discourage pitch height cues. We found that all three pitch measures were positively correlated with one another. Critically, however, we found that tonal short-term fully mediated the relationship between incidental AP and explicit AP categorization. This finding held even when controlling for musical training and tonal language fluency. Overall, these results suggest that pitch memory is a consistent individual difference measure across different timescales and different measures (e.g., incidental measures, explicit measures). However, tonal short-term memory appears to be foundational to both incidentally acquired and explicitly learned AP categories.
Heterogeneity of Treatment Outcomes Across Therapists and Sites in a Randomized Multicenter Psychotherapy Trial

Published: September 2024

Objective: Establishing robust evidence for the efficacy of psychotherapeutic treatments is fundamental to evidence-based medicine for patients with mental disorders. Cornerstones of testing the efficacy of psychotherapeutic treatments are randomized controlled trials (RCTs). These trials aim to control for many common sources of bias, such as selection effects and baseline imbalances between study groups. However, another challenge to establishing robust evidence in psychotherapy research is the heterogeneity in treatment outcomes due to therapists and clinical sites. While this has been frequently observed in naturalistic settings, therapist and site-related heterogeneity in treatment outcomes has been relatively understudied in RCTs. Method: The present study addresses this gap in a secondary data analysis, examining how strongly therapists and clinical sites differ in treatment outcomes and differential treatment effect (i.e., the difference in outcomes between treatment groups) within a large, multicenter RCT. We analyzed data from 255 patients treated by 79 therapists in nine study sites, that received two different active psychotherapeutic interventions. Results: We found small therapist-related (1.1%) and site-related (1.7%) variance in treatment outcome, while the site-related variance in differential treatment effect was comparatively large (12.5%). The variance in treatment outcome and differential treatment effect could only partially be explained by patient or therapist characteristics. Conclusion: These findings underscore the need to consider possible heterogeneity between clinical study sites in differential treatment effects in the evaluation of RCTs. Moreover, further research on the impact of study sites’ characteristics on treatment efficacy is needed. This could enhance our understanding of the efficacy of psychotherapeutic treatments in varying contexts.
The Wins of the Grassroots Climate Movement in the University of California: Never Doubt that A Small Group of the Committed Can Change the World

Published: September 2024

As the climate and ecological predicament worsens, too many people seem to be waiting for policy to be implemented from “on high” by institutional leaders and politicians. Yet the history of many social struggles shows us that achieving policy wins requires a strong push from below. Here, we recount how a small band of the committed - members of the climate justice organization, the UC San Diego Green New Deal - were critical to reorienting the climate policy of a very large institution, the 10 campus University of California, as well as winning important climate actions at UC San Diego itself. We discuss three campaigns: Decarbonization and Electrification, Cutting Ties with Fossil Finance, and Climate Education for All. From shifting the focus to emission reductions rather than carbon offsets, to pushing Chase Bank out of the campus student center, to providing new undergraduate curricula, these wins are now reverberating throughout higher education in the United States and beyond. This movement has also provided an important pedagogical role by teaching organizing and activist skills to undergraduates so they can go forth and fight for their futures.

Schizophrenia and related psychoses are characterized by significant reductions in hippocampal volume and morphometric hippocampal-cortical connectivity. No study to date has addressed the temporal relationship between deviations in volume and connectivity across the heterogeneous spectrum of psychosis. To explore this relationship, we sampled cross-sectional neuroimaging data from 174 patients and 120 non-clinical controls from two studies on first- and multi-episode psychosis. We applied Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn), a machine learning algorithm combining clustering and disease progression modeling, to eight measures of hippocampal volume and morphometric hippocampal-cortical connectivity (subfields and adjacent white matter regions per hemisphere) combined. We then performed in-depth SuStaIn analyses for 18 volumes (five subfields and four white matter regions per hemisphere) and 18 connectivity measures (graph-theory-based participation coefficient) separately. Some individuals showed no deviations (no increase or decrease) from control means in volume and connectivity. For individuals who did show deviations, we identified an overall progression pattern from deviations in volume toward connectivity. In-depth SuStaIn analyses revealed three distinct volume patterns (intact volume, subfield-dominant, whiter matter-dominant) which were followed by one of four possible connectivity patterns (intact connectivity, whiter matter-dominant, subfield-dominant, subiculum-dominant). These subtypes further showed significant differences in illness duration, age, and a trend for episodic memory. Considering that hippocampal volume and morphometric connectivity distinctively precede cognitive and clinical symptoms of psychosis, our findings contribute to disentangling the relationship between both hippocampal metrics, potentially elucidating distinct hippocampal pathways toward the heterogeneous manifestations of psychosis.
Does the context effect exist in the multiple alternative forced-choice personality measurement?
Authors: Bunji Kyosuke , Okada Kensuke
Published: September 2024

A fundamental assumption in item response theory (IRT) models for multiple-alternative forced-choice (MAFC) personality measurement is that the utility of each statement (choice option) remains independent and invariant, irrespective of factors like the context effect.However, investigations on the confounding impact of the context effect on MAFC personality measurements are scarce.This study examined the impact of context effect on the utility and estimation of the parameters of each statement of the MAFC personality measurement.Thereon, a parameter estimation was conducted using the Thurstonian IRT model, assuming the presence or absence of context effects.Parameter estimates and Bayesian posterior distributions were compared from the perspective of the correlation of trait scores, an information criterion, explained variance, 95\% credible interval, the Bayes factor, and the overlap rate of the posterior distributions.The study's results suggest that the context effect can be considered small enough to be practically negligible.
Introducing the Journal Editors Discussion Interface

Published: September 2024

Journal editors play an important role in advancing open science in their respective fields. However, their role is temporary and (usually) part time, and therefore many do not have enough time to dedicate towards changing policies, practices, and procedures at their journals. The Journal Editors Discussion Interface (JEDI, https://dpjedi.org) is an online community for journal editors in the social sciences that was launched in 2021, consisting of a listserv and resource page. JEDI aims to increase uptake of open science at social science journals by providing journal editors with a space to learn and discuss. In this paper, we explore JEDI’s progress in its first two years, presenting data on membership, posts, and from a members survey. We see a reasonable mix of people participating in listserv conversations and there are no detectable differences among groups in the number of replies received by thread-starters. The community survey suggests JEDI members find conversations and resources on JEDI generally informative and useful, and see JEDI primarily as a community to get honest opinions from others on editorial practices. However, JEDI membership is not as heterogeneous as would be ideal for the purpose of the group, especially when considering geographic diversity.
Unaffected Polarisation? Populism and Affective Polarization in comparative perspective
Authors: Stefanelli Alberto
Published: September 2024

With both affective polarization and populism on the rise in several countries, many have proposed a link between the two phenomena. Yet, research offers little direct evidence on whether populist individuals are more polarized. This paper aims to fill this gap by using CSES data from 37 elections in 31 countries to provide a comparative account of the relationship between populism and affective polarization at the individual level. We show that populist individuals are not more polarized than their mainstream counterparts. Instead, we identify a curvilinear relationship wherein both citizens who strongly endorse or reject populist ideas exhibit high levels of polarization, with substantial variations across countries. Furthermore, populism is associated with a general disdain for all political parties rather than just rival parties. These findings challenge the prevailing assumption that populism is asymmetrically associated with affective polarization and suggest that ideological extremism, rather than populism, may be associated with the upsurge in affective polarization observed in some Western democracies.
Group-specific linear trends and the triple-differences in time design
Authors: Strezhnev Anton
Published: September 2024

Differences-in-differences designs for estimating causal effects rely on an assumption of ``parallel trends" -- that in the absence of the intervention, treated units would have followed the same outcome trajectory as observed in control units. When parallel trends fails, researchers often turn to alternative strategies that relax this identifying assumption. One popular approach is the inclusion of a group-specific linear time trend in the commonly used two-way fixed effects (TWFE) estimator. In a setting with a single post-treatment and two pre-treatment periods it is well known that this is equivalent to a non-parametric ``triple-differences" estimator which is valid under a ``parallel trends-in-trends" assumption (Egami and Yamauchi, 2023). This paper analyzes the TWFE estimator with group-specific linear time trends in the more general setting with many pre- and post-treatment periods. It shows that this estimator can be interpreted as an average over triple-differences terms involving both pre-treatment and post-treatment observations. As a consequence, this estimator does not identify a convex average of post-treatment ATTs without additional effect homogeneity assumptions even when there is no staggering in treatment adoption. A straightforward solution is to make the TWFE specification fully dynamic with a separate parameter for each relative treatment time. However, identification requires that researchers omit at least two pre-treatment relative treatment time indicators to estimate a group-specific linear trend. The paper shows how to properly extend this estimator to the staggered adoption setting using the approach of Sun and Abraham (2021), correcting a perfect collinearity error in recent implementations of this method in Hassell and Holbein (2024). It concludes with a note of caution for researchers, showing through a replication of Kogan (2021) how inferences from group-specific time trend specifications can be extremely sensitive to arbitrary specification choices when parallel trends violations are present but do not follow an easily observed functional form.

El presente articulo busca aclarar de manera documental cuando nació exactamente la Republica en nuestro país, día, mes y año; que como sabemos fue parte de un proceso que de manera ideológica puede remontarse al Elogio del conde de Vista Florida al virrey Jauregui y a la Carta a los Españoles Americanos de Juan Pablo Vizcardo Guzmán y de forma política al Reglamento Provisional dado el 12 de febrero de 1821 y al Estatuto Provisional del 8 de octubre de 1821 ambos dados por el General José de San Martin que al partir del Perú dejo instalado el Congreso Constituyente que casi a sus tres meses de funcionamiento  dictó las Bases de la Constitución política del Perú el 16 de diciembre de 1822  promulgadas por la Junta Gubernativa al día siguiente; con ello buscamos subsanar el error en que incurrió don Jorge Basadre en el primer capítulo del primer tomo de la Historia de la Republica del Perú al señalar como tal el 19 de diciembre pero que el maestro José Agustín de la Puente Candamo en el sexto volumen de la Historia General del Perú esclarece y expresa que fue el 17 de diciembre de 1822.
Pueblo de Lima en la Independencia Gustavo Montoya (2022)
Authors: Rodríguez Aldana Christian
Published: September 2024

El reciente texto del historiador Gustavo Montoya Rivas que pasaremos a reseñar a continuación, sólo pudo ser escrito por un profesional que cuenta con un vasto conocimiento del proceso independentista y desde un claro hilo conductor: el control sobre la plebe. Al respecto, existen investigadores que se han atribuido ser los descubridores de eso que se llama la “la independencia controlada” y algunos otros hasta llegan a atribuirse una coautoría que no existe, debido a que no cuentan con estudios realizados o desarrollados desde este tipo de enfoque. No hablaremos de la cantidad de capítulos que tiene el texto, de la temática desarrollada en cada uno de ellos ni mucho menos intentaremos parafrasear a Alberto Flores Galindo o a Jorge Basadre para señalar la importancia de una obra que estudia a los “otros”, esos “otros” que a nadie le interesa poner en relieve.
ON PRAISE AND VIRTUES OF BOOKS IN THE ISLAMIC TRADITIONS
Authors: Azenita Abdullah
Published: September 2024

Book is not merely an object but an artefact that embodies rich and significant meanings and histories of human endeavours. A book took its form and purpose to preserve the narratives, thoughts, guidance, and wisdoms of the earlier generations and accessible by others and later generations across the centuries and geographical settings. In the Islamic tradition, the word kitāb, which is the Arabic term for book has its cultural, philosophical and spiritual dimension. The Quran is called “The Book”, embodies the speech of God (kalām Allah) revealed to the Prophet Muhammad to all mankind, and historically speaking it is the impetus of Islamic textual tradition which flourishes until today.
Protein analysis and digestibility of few pulses consumed in Indore region
Authors:   Institute for Innovative Learning and Research Academy, Indore-452010, Madhya Pradesh, India, Puri Payal
Published: September 2024

Objective: Pulses are known as a good source of protein in daily diet. These are cheap and easily available protein options ranging from Rs. 71-156 per kg. The three pulses or dal viz., split Mung (Vigna radiata, 2n=14), Tuvar (Cajanus indicus, 2n=22), and split Urad (Vigna mungo, 2n=22) were tested for comparative protein analysis and their digestibility in this work. Methods: Aqueous extracts of all three pulse samples were prepared by homogenization. The Folin-Lowry method was employed for protein quantification in all the samples. SDS-PAGE was carried out for pulse protein profiling. The in-vitro digestibility of pulses was evaluated by the Biuret method and agar well diffusion assay. Results: The results confirmed that the protein content (18.46mg/100ml) and digestibility of split Mung were the highest as compared to the other two pulses. SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed that split Mung dal showed maximum and 5 different types of protein bands ranging from 20 to 63 kDa revealing its richness in protein quality. The recommended daily intake of protein is 15 gm from 100 gm of pulses and our results showed the highest protein content in split Mung (14%). The differences in in-vitro protein digestibility of the three pulses after being incubated with trypsin were observed in the Biuret assay. The split Mung sample exhibited the maximum level of light purple color development, which was confirmed through comparison with the control. The protein in split Mung was easily broken down by trypsin, as indicated by the appearance of a well defined zone on the agar plate. Conclusion: Mung dal is a suitable protein source for the general population, individuals with health conditions, and those who prioritize their health. This is because it contains a significant amount of protein that is of excellent quality and easy to digest.
Jóvenes y redes sociales: divergencias y similitudes en el consumo informativo en distintas comunidades autónomas españolas
Authors: Ceballos del Cid Yaiza
Published: September 2024

Introducción: Las redes sociales se han vuelto un canal clave para que los jóvenes accedan a la información. Aunque se ha investigado este fenómeno, hay poca información sobre cómo la ubicación geográfica influye en las rutinas informativas de los jóvenes en España. Este estudio compara el consumo informativo de los jóvenes en Andalucía, Cataluña, Valencia, Madrid y País Vasco, analizando además las redes más utilizadas, la frecuencia de acceso y el tipo de contenido de su interés. Metodología: Se empleó una metodología cuantitativa mediante un cuestionario en línea, aplicado a una muestra de 1.445 jóvenes. El cuestionario recopiló información sobre las rutinas informativas y redes sociales utilizadas en distintas comunidades autónomas. Resultados: Los resultados revelan que las rutinas informativas de los jóvenes son similares en todas las regiones. Sin embargo, en Madrid se observa un mayor interés por estar informado, destacando por su inclinación hacia contenido político, mientras que Cataluña muestra el menor interés en este aspecto. Discusión: Las diferencias regionales en el interés por la información y el contenido político podrían estar influenciadas por factores sociales y culturales específicos de cada comunidad. Conclusiones: Aunque las rutinas informativas son similares, Madrid y Cataluña muestran variaciones significativas en el interés por ciertos temas, especialmente el político.
Method of estimating direct operating costs for prospective aircraft with alternative propulsion systems
Authors: Uryupin I. V. , Vlasenko A. O.
Published: September 2024

At present, in an unstable geopolitical situation, one of the most important tasks for the Russian Federation is the creation of advanced domestic aircraft that will not be inferior to its foreign counterparts. The cost of operating is the main criterion in the design of a new aircraft to ensure competitiveness in air transport systems. This article provides new regression relations between the power or thrust of a propulsion system and its cost — the level of costs for maintenance and repair of the propulsion system. These relationships make it possible to consider the costs of the propulsion system and airframe separately from each other. This approach makes it possible to obtain estimates of the cost of transportation for existing and promising aircraft, both with classic gas turbine engines and with hybrid and electric propulsion systems. The article provides a method for estimating direct operating costs for promising light aircraft based on these relationships. The calculation of operating costs and cost structure using the example of the “Eviation Alice” electric aircraft and similar functional analogs is demonstrated.

On a Kuramoto-Velarde type equation
Authors: Coclite G.M. , Di Ruvo L.
Published: September 2024

Kuramoto-Velarde-type equations describe the evolution of the spinodal decomposition of phase-separating systems in an external field, or, the spatiotemporal evolution of the morphology of steps on crystal surfaces. Under appropriate assumptions on the initial data, on the time T, and on the coefficients of such equation, we prove the well-posedness of the classical solutions for the Cauchy problem, associated with this equation.
Analysis of a dynamic electro-viscoelastic contact problem
Authors: Ferhat M.S. , Rimi K.
Published: September 2024

In this work, we analyze a mathematical problem for dynamic contact between two electro-viscoelastic bodies with adhesion, normal compliance, and damage. An inclusion of the parabolic type describes the evolution of damage. A first-order differential equation explains the development of the bonding field. We create a variational formulation for the model and demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution. Parabolic inequalities, variational inequalities, and the Banach fixed point theorem form the foundation for the proof.
