Teachers’ Knowledge About Diversity: Correlations With Attitudes, Self-Efficacy, and Instructions
Authors: Tometten Lisa , Heyder Anke , Steinmayr Ricarda
Published: May 2023

Background: Learners differ in many characteristics. In order to meet an important goal of inclusive education, the appreciation and academic support of all students, concepts are needed to meet this diversity. Knowledge in general is an important prerequisite for teachers in the implementation of inclusion and this seems especially applicable to knowledge about learners’ diversity.Purpose: Primary goal of this study is to explore in-service teachers’ knowledge about diversity operationalised by five different diversity dimensions, and its relation to other constructs relevant for teaching. For this purpose, we select the variables learning opportunities, attitudes towards inclusion, self-efficacy for teaching in inclusive education and instructional practices. In a second step, misconceptions, i.e. what teachers mistakenly believe they know, are evaluated as well.Method: We report on 139 in-service teachers’ knowledge and misconceptions about diversity measured by an objective, standardised test with the subscales special educational needs due to (1) emotional and behavioural and (2) learning difficulties, (3) partial achievement disorders, (4) gender, and (5) intellectual giftedness. The teachers answered all further items in self-report within a questionnaire in a correlative design.Findings: Teachers answered 51% of the items correctly (knowledge) and 12% incorrectly (misconceptions), with more knowledge and misconceptions than student comparison samples. Special education teachers knew more than mainstream education teachers. The higher teachers’ knowledge, the more positive their attitudes towards inclusion were. Knowledge was positively related to teaching self-efficacy and mastery-oriented instructional practices. Conclusion: The results highlight the importance of knowledge about diversity as part of teachers’ professional competence in inclusive education. The correlation to mastery-oriented practices is particularly noteworthy, as the promotion of learning processes and adaptive teaching practices are important competences in dealing with diversity.
Individual differences in rhythm perception modulate music-related motor learning: A neurobehavioral training study with children
Authors: Martins Marta , Reis Ana Mafalda , Gaser Christian , Castro São Luís
Published: May 2023

Rhythm and motor function are intrinsically linked to each other and to music, but the motor- rhythm interplay during music training, and the corresponding brain mechanisms, are underexplored. In a longitudinal training study with children, we inspected the role of rhythm skills in the fine motor improvements arising from music training, and which brain regions were implicated. Fifty-seven 8-year-olds were assigned to a 6-month music training (n = 21), or sports training (n = 18), or a control group (n = 18). They performed motor and rhythm tasks, and underwent structural brain scans before and after training. Better ability to perceive rhythm before training was associated with less gray matter volume in regions of the cerebellum, fusiform gyrus, supramarginal gyrus, ventral diencephalon, inferior/middle temporal gyri, superior frontal gyrus, and motor area. Motor performance improved with music training, greater improvements with better pre-training rhythm discrimination. Music training induced a loss of gray matter volume in the left cerebellum and fusiform gyrus, and volume loss correlated with greater motor gains. No such effects were found in the sports and control groups. So, children with fine-tuned rhythm perception were more prone to fine motor improvements through music training, and this motor- rhythm link was handled by the left cerebellum and fusiform gyrus. These findings have implications for models on plasticity and music/rhythm cognition, and for programs targeting motor function.
Climate of Accountability and Interpersonal Respect (CAIR): Development and Validation of a New Organizational Survey
Authors: Martinson Brian C , Smallfield Jarvis , Magley Vicki J. , Thrush Carol , Gunsalus C. K.
Published: May 2023

Background This research describes the development and validation of the CAIR Climate Survey, a 22-item measure designed to assess interpersonal dimensions of work-unit climates. Dimensions of work-unit climates are identified through work-unit member perceptions and include civility, interpersonal accountability, conflict resolution, and institutional harassment responsiveness.Methods Two samples (N=1384; N=868) of academic researchers, including one from the North American membership of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and one from a large research-intensive university, responded to the CAIR and additional measures via an online survey. Results Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses yielded four dimensions of interpersonal climate, and we find evidence for the internal consistency, and convergent and discriminant validity of the CAIR, and excellent sub-group invariance. Conclusions The CAIR is a brief, psychometrically sound instrument that can be used by researchers, institutional leaders, and other practitioners to assess interpersonal climates in organizational work-units. Originality/Value This is the first study to develop and validate such a measure of interpersonal climates specifically in research-intensive organizations, using rigorous psychometric methods, grounded in both theory and prior research on work-unit climates.
Feed, explain, and make it rewarding: Parents’ experiences with encouraging plant-based diets in primary school children
Authors: Ukropcova Kristina
Published: May 2023

It is beyond doubt that a large-scale shift from meat-rich to more plant-based diets (PBDs) would benefit both planetary and human health. It has also become clear that developing plant-based dietary habits in childhood could confer long-term benefits. Yet thus far, efforts to promote PBDs have been geared towards adults. To develop an understanding of how PBDs might be encouraged in children, I conducted an online qualitative study surveying 52 UK-based parents about their experiences with encouraging plant-based dietary patterns (either meat-reduced or meat-free) in their primary school children. I analysed the data using reflexive thematic analysis with a critical realist lens and generated three themes. Theme 1 captures how parents’ increasing awareness of the need to adopt PBDs ignited or strengthened their efforts to encourage PBDs in their children. Theme 2 illustrates the feed-explain-repeat approach parents took to persuade their children to follow PBDs. This involved consistent efforts to make plant-based meals the most available and enjoyable option at home (feeding) and to make children understand the long-term benefits of PBDs (explaining). Theme 3 captures the external pressures that supported or hindered parents’ efforts to steer children towards PBDs, including social norms and food availability, attractiveness, and healthfulness. This theme also captures children’s prevailing tendency to adapt to meat-eating norms in pursuit of enjoyment and normalcy. Interventions aiming to promote PBDs in children should support parents’ efforts at home and develop strategies to combat meat-eating social norms and improve plant-based options in children’s environments outwith the home.

The Effects of Verbal School Bullying on the Academic Performance of Teenage Victims in Kazakhstan: The Necessary Support for Victims
Authors: Koptleuova Dana
Published: May 2023

This study investigates the effects of verbal bullying on victims' academic achievement in Kazakhstan as well as the inaction of teachers. The research opens by pointing out how common verbal bullying is in classrooms and how damaging it is to both kids' mental health and academic performance. The study explains the factors that contribute to bullying in schools, such as poor upbringing and challenging family circumstances. The study makes the case that verbal bullying at school is a real problem that equally affects boys and girls, and that it is important to comprehend how it affects the academic performance of victims.Face-to-face interviews with two victim adolescents, two instructors who have observed verbal school bullying, and one school psychologist who strives to prevent it were conducted as part of the qualitative research methodology employed for this study. The results of the study show that verbal bullying at school has an adverse effect on the victims' mental health and academic achievement. According to the study, teachers frequently treat the victims unfairly and give them low ratings, which has an additional negative impact on their academic performance. The research finishes by making the case that this issue must be addressed in order to avoid verbal school bullying and provide support for its victims.
Hedonic Overeating–Questionnaire: exploring interactive effects between wanting, liking, and dyscontrol on body mass index
Authors: Meule Adrian , Hesse Swen , Brähler Elmar , Hilbert Anja
Published: May 2023

The Hedonic Overeating–Questionnaire (HEDO–Q) is a brief self-report measure for the trait assessment of liking (pleasure to eat; consummatory reward component), wanting (food craving; anticipatory reward component), and dyscontrol (loss of control over eating). In the original validation study, higher scores on each of the three subscales related to higher body mass index (BMI). However, theories on food reward and self-regulation suggest that overeating and obesity may also result from interactions between these aspects. Therefore, we reanalyzed the data of the original, cross-sectional study (N = 2504, 53% female) and explored whether liking, wanting, and dyscontrol scores interactively predicted BMI. Indeed, there was a significant interaction effect Wanting × Dyscontrol on BMI such that higher dyscontrol scores related to higher BMI, particularly at high wanting scores. The other two-way interactions and the three-way interaction were not significant. Results do not support certain theories on food reward (e.g., the incentive sensitization theory of addiction and its application to obesity), which would suggest an interactive effect between liking and wanting on BMI. However, they do support dual systems models of selfregulation that suggest that overeating and obesity result from an interplay of strong bottom-up impulses (here: wanting) and weak top-down control (here: dyscontrol).
Navigating Natural Complexity: Investigating Joint Visual Search in Dynamic, Real-World Environments
Authors: Lau Wee Kiat , Sauter Marian
Published: May 2023

This study focuses on understanding how individuals collaborate to find objects in real-world contexts, specifically within a real zoo setting. Prior research suggested that participants spontaneously form cooperative behaviors like dividing the search space and using communication to enhance search efficiency. Our explorative endeavor revolves around the comparative efficiency of joint versus solitary search, and how communication influences the search process. We recruited 22 observers who each searched in joint and solitary conditions and recorded eye movements using portable eye-tracking glasses. The findings demonstrated that during joint search, participants' fixations were more distributed, implying a degree of collaboration to boost search efficiency. However, only three animals produced statistically significant results, and the effect sizes were relatively small. Interestingly, there was no significant difference in search performance between joint and solitary search conditions. However, the modeling results suggest that communication and consensus formation are key factors in joint search behavior. They significantly contribute to search accuracy and other metrics. Labor division seems to play a role in influencing fixation durations, particularly when there's no communication involved. However, overall, the model with both communication and consensus formation as predictors provided the best fit and contributed the most evidence across all search metrics. Overall, the results from this explorative study provide a basis for further development of models that contribute to predicting joint search in real-world contexts.
Parenting under stress during the corona pandemic: Child well-being, caregiver stress, and family climate in families with different socioeconomic backgrounds in Germany from November 2020 to July 2021
Authors: Maly-Motta Hanna Lena , Neuberger Franz Stephan , Grgic Mariana , Fackler Sina , Kuger Susanne
Published: May 2023

Objective: Our paper aims to examine whether and how families’ socioe- conomic status (SES) affects the stresses they face in balancing child care and employment due to the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic.Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused daycare centers to pe- riodically close and reopen due to local infectious diseases and political reg- ulations. Meanwhile, many employees were forced to work from home. This new situation has created significant challenges for families, especially moth- ers, in balancing family and work.Method: Using a large longitudinal survey of approximately 8,000 German parents, with up to 10 data collection points between November 2020 and Au- gust 2021 (approximately 35,000 parents per month), we used random-effects panel models to examine the longitudinal effects of pandemic-related changes on several stress indicators, including child affectivity, caregiver stress, and family climate.Results: Our study found a clear positive effect of daycare reopenings for all income levels. Affluent families reported less stress when adopting a more traditional family model, i.e., the male breadwinner model. Less affluent families were most negatively affected by the switch to home-based work.Conclusion: The results suggest that the living arrangements of affluent two-income families were particularly vulnerable to the pandemic. Poorer families reported the most problems with home-based work and had less flexibility in organizing their division of labor.
Spatial analysis of solar parks in India
Authors: Jayan Vishnu
Published: May 2023

Due to climate change, all countries in the world are trying to change energy production from fossil fuel to renewable energy resources. Solar is the most acceptable energy alternative because of the cheap cost of Solar Photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity and the availability of sunlight which is the energy source. India also brings some policy interventions to change the energy production paradigm from fossil fuels to renewable fuels. The study briefly discusses solar parks, an idea of a centralized solar energy production system to generate more energy from renewable, echo-friendly ways to fight against climate change, and its distribution and progress using available data and tools like GIS.
The Impact of Government Expenditure on Education in the ESG Models at World Level
Authors: Leogrande Angelo , Costantiello Alberto
Published: May 2023

In this article, we estimate the value of Government Expenditure on Education-GEE in the context of Environmental, Social and Governance-ESG dataset of the World Bank. We use data from 193 countries in the period 2011-2020. We use Panel Data with Fixed Effects, Panel Data with Random Effects, Pooled Ordinary Least Squares-OLS, and Weighted Least Squares-WLS. Our results show that the value of GEE is positively associated among others to “Case of Death, by communicable disease and maternal, prenatal and nutrition conditions”, and “Unemployment”, and negatively associated among others to “Hospital Beds” and “Government Effectiveness”. Furthermore, we apply the k-Means algorithm optimized with the Elbow Method and we find the presence of four clusters. Finally, we confront eight machine learning algorithms for the prediction of the future value of GEE. We found that the Polynomial Regression is the best predictive algorithm. The Polynomial Regression predicts an increase in GEE of 7.09% on average for the analysed countries.

Authors: Leogrande Angelo , Costantiello Alberto
Published: May 2023

We analyze the question of GDP Growth-GDPG rate in the context of Environmental, Social and Governance-ESG framework. We use World Bank data for 193 countries in the period 2011-2020 using different econometric techniques i.e., Panel Data with Fixed Effects, Panel Data with Random Effects, Pooled Ordinary Least Squares-OLS. We found that GDPG rate is positively associated, among others, to “Government Effectiveness” and “Prevalence of Undernourishment” and negatively associated among others to “Unemployment” and “Research and Development Expenditure”. Furthermore, we have applied the k-Means algorithm optimized with the Elbow method and we found the presence of four clusters in the sense of GDPG rate. Finally, we confront eight machine learning algorithms to predict the value of GDPG rate and we found that the Polynomial Regression is the best predictor. The Polynomial Regression predicts an increase of GDPG rate equal to 2.88% on average for the analysed countries.
Coparenting and conflicts between work and family – between-within analysis of German mothers and fathers
Authors: Adams Ayhan
Published: May 2023

The presence of children exacerbates the compatibility of work and family. Working along similar lines in terms of parenting seems to be necessary to cope with these challenges, but only a few studies have focused on the relationship between coparenting and interrole conflicts. This study seeks to close this gap by investigating the interrelatedness between coparenting conflicts and work-to-family/family-to-work conflicts with a particular focus on gender differences. The quantitative analysis draws on longitudinal data from waves 6 to 10 of the German Family Panel (N = 858). Between-within regression models were conducted to investigate both inter- and intraindividual association of coparenting conflicts and work-to-family/family-to-work conflicts. The results revealed that the level of coparenting conflicts is significantly associated with the level of both work-to-family and family-to-work conflicts. Furthermore, changes in coparenting conflicts are associated with changes in family-to-work conflicts. Unexpectedly, the interaction between the level of coparenting conflicts and gender shows that the associations with interrole conflicts are stronger for fathers than for mothers. Thus, the study provides insights into the interrelatedness between the parental coparenting relationship and the compatibility of work, gender-specific associations, and differences between interindividual and intraindividual associations.
Smith at 300: Adam Smith on rhetoric and the philosophy of science
Authors: Dow Sheila
Published: May 2023

Smith at 300: Contribution by Sheila Dow"I have selected this quotation for special attention because we can identify from it, and the surrounding passages in the Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres, key elements of Adam Smith’s philosophy of science. At the same time the quotation provides an example of Smith’s own arresting use of rhetoric. The quotation arises from Smith’s exploration of the philosophy of science in terms of didactic rhetoric. Smith’s theory of rhetoric emphasised its role in persuasion, departing from the conventional emphasis on style. Persuasion by argument was central to an epistemology (in the Scottish enlightenment tradition) which was sceptical about the scope for establishing absolute truth."
Smith at 300: The Lure of Poetry and Profit
Authors: Dekker Erwin
Published: May 2023

Smith at 300: Contribution by Erwin Dekker"It might be true that no one has made a ‘bargain’ in verse as Smith suggested. But new products will be advertised, packaged, and launched in ‘verse’. The eighteenth-century trader speaking precise and pointedly has been supplemented, if not replaced by the designer, the (m)ad man and the PR-manager. They have incorporated what Smith already recognized in his lectures on rhetoric: “The best prose composition, the best oratorical discourse does not affect us half so much [as poetry].” An engineer might believe that economics is about production and the stuff, but Smith knew all along that the economics was a humanistic endeavor, where the fluff cannot be separated from the stuff. In Smith’s humanomics perspective we see a world where traders develop language to interact with each other, where ornaments and elegance create a diversity of goods and services, and where marketing campaigns and inspirational stories entice us to explore the new. Call it ‘the lure of poetry and profit.’ "
Does Lunar Cartography Do the Work of Capitalism?
Authors: Juszczak Mark Darius
Published: May 2023

Cartography, whether terrestrial or extra-terrestrial, occurs at an intersectional point between natural science and human culture. While certain elements of cartography, such as the presence of a certain feature, are objective facts, other elements of the field must, by the very limits of language, be arbitrary products of culture and power. According to Marx’s model of dialectical materialism, the material world is reflected by the human mind and then transformed into forms of thought. These forms of thought are reified into systems of power that classify the material world and then exploit it through specific forms of resource allocation. These forms of resource allocation are legitimized and obfuscated by the construction of objective truths through the work of science. Science, according to critical theorists, includes ideological elements that are linked to agents of power. Science is not simply an objective description of reality. It does the work of those who fund it.
Smith at 300: Universal Human Nature, the Division of Labour and African Development
Authors: Lange Jérôme
Published: May 2023

Smith at 300: Contribution by Jérôme Lange"Like Hume, Smith was wrong in supposing that “[a]ll the inland parts of Africa … seem in all ages of the world to have been in the same barbarous and uncivilized state in which we find them at present” (think of the 13th to 17th century Empire of Mali, then one of the wealthiest nations around the globe, with Timbuktu one of the principal centres of learning of the Medieval world). Yet his explanation for the lower level of economic development in Africa as compared to Europe, based on the idea that the division of labour is limited by the extent of the market, was one that upheld the essential equality of Africans to Europeans, against the descriptions of Africans and other “non-white” people as being naturally inferior to “whites” by fellow enlightenment philosophers and a great many scholars throughout the 19th century and well into the 20th."

On the Fence of a Family Dynamics of Inter-generational Transfers in Stepfamilies
Authors: He Jingying
Published: May 2023

Growing family complexity in western countries calls into question the notion offamily boundaries. A family relationship is distinguished by its intensive supports orby its particular patterns of exchanges. Past research shows a weaker stepkin supportcompared to biological kin which suggests a more distant stepkin relationship, butthey have not explored differences in the patterns of support exchanges. To reveal themotivations and norms of stepkin relationships, this paper studies how past signals ofsupport shape stepkin’s future interpersonal support, financial transfers, contacts incomparison to biological kin in stepfamilies. Using data of the Health and RetirementStudy (HRS) from 1996 to 2014 and within-family fixed effects models, I demonstratethat stepkin relationships are more sensitive to past signals. Despite less transfers,support and contacts when past signals of help are absent, stepkin respond to theother’s signals with larger increase of parents’ monetary transfers, contacts, and adultchildren’s interpersonal support, converging to biological kin levels. Besides, they alsotend to adopt different means of response than biological kin. Overall, the studyprovides a dynamic picture of stepkin relationships as more ”sitting-on-the fence” than“not in the family”, as implied by the previous research
Smith at 300: The Natural Recompense of Labor
Authors: Andrews David
Published: May 2023

Smith at 300: Contribution by David Andrews. "This passage would also seem to undermine suggestions, such as that of Jacob Viner in his famous “Adam Smith and Laissez Faire,” that Smith, influenced by Stoics and Physiocrats, held a “doctrine of a harmonious order in nature” (Viner 1927, 199), to which it is in everyone’s moral and material interest to conform. It was on this basis, so the argument goes, that Smith believed free markets to lead to optimal outcomes. If Smith was committed to conformity with nature, however, his claim that the produce of labor is its natural recompense would seem to imply that labor should receive the whole of the product of labor, a position Smith did not clearly advocate."

Back pain in pregnant women occurs due to impaired blood circulation due to enlargement and pressure of the uterus, especially in the pelvic veins when sitting and the inferior vena cava when lying down and capillary absorption. The aim is to identify scientific evidence related to the management of back pain with pregnancy exercise. The data sources used in this research are scientific journals. Data collection was carried out using thedatabases Google Scholar, Pubmed and Semantic Scholar. In conducting a search for national journals, researchers used keywords, namely, while in international journals they used the keywords  back pain, pregnant women, pregnant exerciseback pain, pregnant women, pregnant exercise. Data analysis was carried out by reviewing scientific journals found on the management of back pain with pregnancy exercise.  Study found that pregnancy exercise had an effect in reducing the intensity of back pain for pregnant women with the time of giving pregnant exercise during the 2 and 3 trimesters of pregnancy with an interval of at least 1 time a week. From all journals shows that pregnancy exercise has an effect on reducing the intensity of back pain in pregnant women. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that pregnancy exercise can be an alternative solution in providing midwifery care to pregnant women who experience back pain and pregnant women can carry out exercise independently.

Energy consumption is related to all types of human economic activity. Energy production significantly affects the state of the environment; therefore, high quality planning of electricity consumption is a priority issue in the development strategy of any country. All responsibilities for planning electricity consumption and purchasing electricity fall on energy supply companies. High-quality planning of electricity consumption will lead to a reduction in the costs of energy supply companies, which will have an impact on reducing the costs of creating final products for the average consumer. This article is devoted to the problem of increasing the efficiency of energy supply companies to meet the needs of household consumers. The work substantiates the necessity of planning electricity supplies in the necessary volume to ensure the rational use of energy and economic resources. The problem of performing forecasting by a person is described, when the result depends both on the analyst's qualification in the subject field and on his qualification in analysis methods. Arguments are presented regarding the use of modern methods of artificial intelligence - neural networks, which have the ability to learn on a set of data and allow to reveal hidden relationships and regularities between data. The article provides an analysis of the latest research and publications on the use of artificial neural networks in energy forecasting, which confirmed the feasibility of using the chosen method for a given problem. The process of using a multilayer neural network for forecasting the volume of electricity sales to consumers is described. The nature of the data describing the volume of monthly hourly electricity purchases for household consumers is given, an example of a time series is shown. The peculiarities of the input parameters for the neural network are determined: month of the year, day of the week, type of day (holiday or working), the average maximum value of hourly electricity purchase

The article reveals the topic of developing an expert system of psychoneurological diseases using the method of differential diagnostics. The task of the system of differential medical diagnosis is to determine the diseases that the patient may suffer from, based on the observation of his symptoms. The method used in diagnosing the disease is differential. This method weeds out diseases because they do not match any facts or symptoms, which in the end must lead to the only possible disease. The developed and implemented expert system includes: a mechanism for accessing the database of symptoms for each of the correlating diseases, an algorithm for forming ES input parameters, a decision-making method based on a logical mechanism. Various decision-making mechanisms were investigated and analyzed in the work, which made it possible to avoid shortcomings and improve the work of the expert system. ES work relies on a knowledge base of symptoms. The database is a collection of differential diagnostic features, corresponding frequencies of occurrence for each of the diagnosed diseases. The application has two modes of operation: the mode of operation with the knowledge base, which provides direct work with the database and support for all necessary operations for the full functioning of the system. The mode of analysis in which the specialist receives support in making a decision when making a diagnosis. The user sets the patient's existing symptoms, after which the managed data is processed. At the end, the user receives the result of the performed analysis with the most probable diagnosis to the least probable one with a calculated conformity assessment. Such a system has high efficiency, reliability, accessibility and productivity. The use of such a system allows you to avoid redundancy of information, thereby reducing the time for primary data processing
