Exploring the Factors Influencing Purchasing Intention of Bangladeshi Consumers on E-Commerce Platform Daraz.com.bd
Authors: Jahidul Islam Md , Sunil Anamika P.
Published: October 2023

The e-Commerce sector has seen dramatic growth in Bangladesh since the early 2000s, although at the time the country lacked prevalent internet access with a reliable online transaction system. The Bangladesh Government is currently working on digitalizing the nation but the adoption rate of e-commerce is relatively low. This paper intends to comprehend the factors that influence the purchase intention of Bangla4deshi consumers from the e-commerce platform Daraz.com.bd. The survey questionnaire was encased in an online link for respondents to complete and submit. The survey received 302 respondents’ data. It was established that the respondents’ socio-demographic profiles – genders, age groups, and education levels – exhibited a significant impact on online purchase intention. Trust and quality were not correlated to online purchase intention while privacy negatively affected the purchase intention. Price, delivery, returning policy, and social influence affect purchase intention positively. Interaction test results showed that the effects of privacy and price, privacy and quality, and delivery and social influence hurt the dependent variable. However, these factors discretely affected purchase intention positively. The interaction between privacy and social influence, and quality and social influence enhance one another to demonstrate a positive effect on purchase intention. The results might help the company understand and target its future consumers and create focused advertisements for them. Additionally, to enhance the purchase intention of Daraz.com.bd visitors, the company needs to focus on improving certain factors while keeping in mind the interaction effect.
Victim-Oriented Humanistic Policing as a New Model in Improving Services for Victims of Sexual Violent Crimes: Comparative Study of Indonesian Police, Japanese, and New Zealand
Authors: Dewi Aruma Chandra , Meliala Adrianus Eliasta , Sulhin Iqrak
Published: October 2023

This research aims to examine service models for victims of sexual violent crimes in three countries, namely Indonesia, Japan, and New Zealand. The research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach. The method used is case study comparison to then produce a new theoretical model related to victim-oriented humanistic policing (VOHP) for adaptation in Indonesia. Based on the identification and interpretation of research data using the Hoefnagels (1969) criminal policy analysis framework and Paterson's (2022) victim-oriented policing policy analysis, five new theoretical approaches were found regarding VOHP services for victims of sexual violent crimes in Indonesia. The five approaches include sustainable mentoring, practical interview skills, advocacy support, technology mastery, and strategic partnerships. These five new concepts emphasize a focus on institutional and cultural transformation of the National Police to prevent revictimization when dealing with victims. These five models are elaborations of models that have generally been applied universally, especially in Japan and New Zealand. It is hoped that this VOHP model can become the basis for better services for victims of sexual violent crimes in Indonesia.

Heartbeat evoked potentials and autonomic arousal during dissociative seizures
Authors: Flasbeck Vera , Jungilligens Johannes , Lemke Isabell , Beckers Jule , Wellmer Jörg , Popkirov Stoyan
Published: October 2023

Dissociative seizures often occur in the context of dysregulated affective arousal and entail dissociative symptoms such as a disintegration of bodily awareness. However, the interplay between affective arousal and changes in interoceptive processing at the onset of dissociative seizures is not well understood. Using routine data obtained from video-EEG telemetry in a university hospital epilepsy monitoring unit, we investigate ictal changes in cardiac indices of autonomic arousal and heartbeat evoked potentials (HEPs) in 25 patients with dissociative seizures. Results show autonomic arousal during seizures with increased heart rate and a shift towards sympathetic activity. Compared to baseline, ictal HEP amplitudes over right prefrontal electrodes (F8) were significantly less pronounced during seizures, suggesting diminished cortical representation of interoceptive information. Group-level correlations between heart rate variability measures and HEPs were observed at baseline, with more sympathetic and less parasympathetic activity related to less pronounced HEPs. Interestingly, these relationships weakened and lost statistical significance during seizures, suggesting a disintegration of autonomic arousal and interoceptive processing during dissociative seizures. These findings possibly represent electrophysiological evidence of how autonomic arousal could negatively impact bodily awareness in dissociative seizures. Further studies using control conditions with experimentally induced arousal and dissociation are needed.

Children with Developmental Language Disorder will Benefit from New IDEA Guidance
Authors: Miller Carol , Xiong Jinjun , Hadley Pamela , Olszewski Abbie
Published: October 2023

Speech-language pathologists are familiar with eligibility criteria for school-based special education services under IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. In order for children with speech and language disorders to be eligible for services, they need to fit one of the thirteen categories of disabilities. However, these 13 categories do not always align well with current evidence-based diagnoses of neurodiverse conditions. It is because of these challenges that we, as members of the National Artificial Intelligence Institute for Exceptional Education, are particularly grateful to the US Department of Education's Office of Special Education programs for issuing new guidance on the use of DLD to accurately describe the speech and language needs of individual children, no matter what eligibility category they fall into. We are also grateful to members and leaders of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association for their strong advocacy to raise the community's awareness of this new guidance. Therefore, our Institute will be another strong advocate for children with DLD so that they can eventually benefit from our Institute's research. We believe that the recognition of DLD as a disability can greatly help these children and their families.
A morphosyntactic approach to language contact in African varieties of English. Studia Neophilologica
Authors: Romasanta Raquel P.
Published: October 2023

This study aims to widen our knowledge of substrate influence and language transfer in World Englishes through the study of the verb complementation system of REGRET in four African postcolonial varieties. An examination of the most widely spoken substrates in each variety does not seem to explain the different tendencies in the distribution of finite and nonfinite complementation patterns across varieties, since English varieties with different complementation systems in their substrate languages, Kenyan English and Nigerian English, for example, show similar distributions in their use of English complementation. Such differences in the distribution seem to be the result of other factors playing an essential role in language contact situations, namely, the tendency towards transparency in second language varieties, the geographical proximity of the English varieties, and the evolution of the varieties measured in terms of the Dynamic Model (Schneider 2007).
The Phenomenology of Social Perception: Sociability and Morality Perceptions map onto Experiences of Pleasure and Threat
Authors: Carrier Antonin , Corneille Olivier , Yzerbyt Vincent
Published: October 2023

Social judgment maps onto two fundamental dimensions: Warmth and Competence. Although recent social perception work shows that morality and sociability are two facets of Warmth dimension, their respective function remains to be understood. We propose that perceptions of sociability and morality denote two functionally distinct evaluations, i.e., how pleasurable and how threatening the target is, respectively. A set of 6 studies traced back pleasure and threat evaluations by investigating the specific phenomenological experiences associated with perceptions of morality and sociability. Using a variety of measures and different inductions of pleasure and threat, we provide evidence that sociability and morality perceptions come along with distinct sets of affect reflecting the presence or the absence of pleasure vs. threat, respectively. A final study showed that morality weighs more than sociability when their valences are pitted against each other, replicating the well-documented primacy of morality effect. Moreover, consistent with the idea that the avoidance of threat takes priority over the search for pleasure, this experiment further showed that immorality prompted unconditional threat-related experiences. In contrast, sociability elicited conditional pleasure-related experiences in that positive morality is required. The present research sheds new light on the respective functions of morality and sociability perceptions and provides a novel understanding of the primacy of morality in social impressions.
Translating psychological verbal theories into formal models of change with differential equations
Authors: Chen Meng , Batra Rohit , Beck Emorie D , Ferrer Emilio
Published: October 2023

Characterizing psychological processes as dynamical systems has become a common practice in psychology. Most often, psychological theories are expressed in verbal terms and then interpreted by researchers in their operationalization. In contrast, theories can also be expressed formally in mathematical or computational terms. However, translating verbal theories of dynamical systems into formal theories, especially those represented by differential equations (DEs), often requires knowledge of physics and mathematics beyond the standard training received by psychologists. In this article, we seek to provide a roadmap for researchers who wish to build a formal theory expressed in DEs from a verbal theory. We use a running example to illustrate the various steps and end with a discussion on caveats of formalizing using DE models. Our roadmap aims at the phase of formal theory development and refinement, before a researcher collects their data. We discuss different DE applications and provide corresponding examples for researchers interested in further reading.

Boosting Wisdom of the Crowd for Medical Image Annotation Using Training Performance and Task Features
Authors: Hasan Eeshan , Duhaime Erik P , Trueblood Jennifer S
Published: October 2023

A crucial bottleneck in medical artificial intelligence is high quality labeled medical datasets. In this paper, we test a large variety of wisdom of the crowd algorithms to label medical images that were initially classified by individuals recruited through an app-based platform. Individuals classified skin lesions from the International Skin Lesion Challenge 2018 into 7 different categories. There was a large dispersion in the geographical location, experience, training, and performance of the recruited individuals. We tested over 160 wisdom of the crowd algorithms of varying complexity from a simple unweighted average to more complex Bayesian models that account for individual patterns of errors. Using a switchboard analysis, we observe that the best-performing algorithms rely on selecting top performers, weighting decisions by training accuracy, and take into account the task environment. These algorithms also far exceed expert performance. We conclude by discussing the implications of these approaches for the development of medical AI.
Substrate Language Influence in Postcolonial Asian Englishes and the Role of Transfer in the Complementation System
Authors: Romasanta Raquel P.
Published: October 2023

This study aims to contribute to the body of work on the effects of substrate languages and language transfer in World Englishes by asking whether the clausal verb complementation systems of the verb regret in eight Asian postcolonial varieties are affected by the substrate languages. An examination of the most widely spoken substrates in each variety does not seem to indicate that these have an effect on the respective complementation systems, since varieties with similar substrate languages have different distributions. In view of this, a further two factors are explored. First, the role played by the phase of development in the Dynamic Model (Schneider 2007), which also seems not to explain the different distributions: varieties in the same phase of development exhibit distinct distributions. Second, geographical proximity, which appears to explain similarities and differences between varieties, since South Asian varieties display similar characteristics, whereas these differ from those found in Southeast Asian varieties.

This paper presents the research and design of a passive thermal monitoring system using wireless temperature sensors based on the principle of surface acoustic wave (SAW). The monitoring system is employed on components that need to be monitored for heat generation, including switch contacts, busbars, and cable connections at switchgears or ring main units (RMUs). The basic impulse insulation level (BIL), or voltage spike tolerance, of the wireless SAW temperature sensor utilised in this study, means that it is not necessary to power it with sensors that meet the high criteria for equipment installed in closed cabinets or medium voltage cabinets. The research team’s activities in this study included software development, data transmission design and manufacture, and sensor selection. The system functions steadily, with a temperature error of no more than 2oC, according to the test findings under laboratory settings.

The aim of the study was to optimise the extraction of steroid saponins from Costus pictus leaves and investigate the antibacterial activity of the obtained C. pictus leaf extract. The influence of major single factors, including ethanol concentration, ratio of raw materials to solvent, and extraction time, were investigated, and the use of the response surface methodology provided optimal extraction conditions. The results of the study showed that the optimal conditions for steroid saponins extraction were as follows: ethanol solvent concentration (79%), material/solvent ratio (1/31 g/ml), and extraction time (60 hours), resulting in 7.62% steroid saponin content. The C. pictus leaf extract obtained under these optimised conditions exhibited effective inhibition against all four bacterial strains: Bacillussubtilis, Vibrio sp., E. coli, and Salmonella sp.. Among them, the inhibitory effect on Vibrio sp. was the highest, while the inhibitory effect on Salmonella sp. was the lowest.

Polyphenols are a group of natural compounds found in plants with antibacterial and antioxidant properties, offering significant potential applications in pharmaceutical and agricultural production. To extract and obtain a high content of polyphenolic compounds from areca nuts (Areca catechu L.), the study utilised a surface response methodology to assess the impact of various technical factors such as solvent concentration (X1), solvent-to-material ratio (v/w) (X2), and soaking time (hours) (X3) on the yield of polyphenolic compounds (Y) extracted from areca nuts. The study’s results yielded a model describing the extraction of polyphenolic compounds from areca nuts using the objective function Y = 80.64 + 3.10X1 - 1.27X3 - 6.00X12 - 3.66X22 - 5.07X32. Based on the objective function, the highest polyphenol content obtained was 80.72 mg GAE/g of raw material under the following conditions: ethanol solvent concentration of 55%, solvent-to-material ratio (v/w) of 35/1, and soaking time of 2 hours. The experimental polyphenol content results showed no statistically significant differences compared to the model-predicted outcomes. These results serve as a basis for the polyphenol extraction process from areca nuts with antibacterial applications in agriculture and medicine.

Published: October 2023

A partir de mi tesis doctoral “La cultura escolar material en la formación de Magisterio y de Profesorado en Uruguay” realizada en la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Argentina), se presenta este trabajo académico. El objetivo principal es dar cuenta de algunos de los resultados obtenidos de la investigación realizada y proyectarlos hacia nuevas materialidades emergentes que se fueron instalando y naturalizando como parte de la cultura escolar en la formación docente en Uruguay. El problema de investigación de referencia tuvo la siguiente interrogante: “¿La cultura material escolar de la formación docente (magisterio y profesorado) uruguaya, en su dimensión de espacio-tiempo escolar, continúa configurando nuevos elementos emergentes  en las culturas escolares de la formación docente inicial en los institutos y centros de formación docentes en el Uruguay a inicios del siglo XXI?” (Capocasale, 2021, p. 15).  La tesis tuvo como período espacial y temporal contextual para el trabajo de campo el quinquenio 2015-2018 de la Formación Docente en Uruguay. No cabe duda alguna, que el contexto de pandemia por COVID-19 que afectó a nivel mundial y por lo tanto a toda América Latina y el Caribe desde fines del año 2019, en este trabajo académico con una propuesta de análisis reflexivo complementario a la investigación realizada, tiene un papel fundamental. Las nuevas materialidades emergentes tienen en la mayoría de los casos un componente ligado a la modalidad educativa virtual y/o a híbrida (presencial-virtual).

Esta relectura de la filosofía griega en clave educativa, se realiza a la luz de aquellos medios que reivindiquen «la formación humana», es decir, un pensar pedagógico que tiende a conversar con aspectos de la actualidad, entendiendo que es preciso revisar algunos aspectos de nuestro quehacer. Miramos una filosofía que maneja aspectos válidos para lo que hoy vivimos. Los escenarios de la filosofía antigua implican, entonces, una posibilidad de aportar al «bien vivir» actual, haciendo hincapié en la lectura educativa. La pretensión de este trabajo es apreciar, por medio de la lectura de los antiguos, aquella sabiduría que desglosa conocimientos y modos de «ser», sin caer en un anacronismo impropio sino tendiendo a un ejercicio hermenéutico del pasado en clave educativa. El presente trabajo releva las líneas de un estudio sobre los aportes que se desprenden de las investigaciones realizadas por Pierre Hadot y Michel Foucault en su última etapa de producción. Así, se recoge lo peculiar de la época antigua, reconociendo maneras de ser y modos de vivir como un arte de vida que connota una «vida buena», proveniente de un «bien pensar» y un «buen actuar». Textos como «Ejercicios espirituales y filosofía antigua», «La hermenéutica del sujeto» y «Tecnologías del yo» brindan un acercamiento a las apreciaciones relevantes en materia educativa. La educación ha de nutrirse del modelo educativo antiguo: uno que mantiene una correspondencia entre filosofía (philo-sophia) y determinada concepción de ser humano (anthropos), en relación a un ethos.
CORPOREIDADES ABJETAS NO ESPAÇO ESCOLAR: TENSIONANDO O CISTEMA SEXO-GÊNERO

Com a ascensão da extrema direita no Brasil, a intensificação dos ataques aos debates em torno das questões de gênero e sexualidades no contexto educacional têm emergido como sintomas da instabilidade político-social instaurada nos últimos dez anos. Empenhadas na propagação do pânico moral,  por vezes baseado nas chamadas fake news, a cruzada reacionária frente à garantia de direitos e enfrentamento à violência contra a população LGBTQIA+ tem obstaculizado o avanço dessas pautas no tocante aos aparatos reguladores de estado que norteiam as práticas pedagógicas. Os embates em torno do último Plano Nacional de Educação que culminou na supressão do termo gênero na Base Nacional Comum Curricular lançam luz sobre um cenário de disputas e tensionamentos acerca da questão. Com o objetivo de contribuirmos para as discussões em torno das relações de gênero e sexualidades no espaço escolar, mobilizamos categorias de análises que apontam para leituras outras da realidade generificada para além da matriz hegemônica. A partir da agência dessas sujeitas, sujeitos e sujeites LGBTQIA+ bem como das suas contribuições teórico políticas e epistemológicas, buscamos tensionar o fazer pedagógico ancorado tanto na colonialidade (MIGNOLO, 2016) quanto na cisheterosexualidade compulsória (VERGUEIRO, 2015; NASCIMENTO, 2021).
POLÍTICAS-PRÁTICAS CURRICULARES NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA: PROCESSOS DE NEGOCIAÇÕES-ARTICULAÇÕES DISCURSIVOS NOS COTIDIANOS ESCOLARES
Authors: VELOSO TAMIRES BARROS
Published: October 2023

Este texto tem como principal objetivo, analisar processos de articulações-negociações discursivos produzidas entre as políticas e práticas curriculares de professores da educação básica nos cotidianos escolares. Tratamos desse debate, frente as prescrições da Base Nacional Comum de Formação de Professores (BNC-formação)/Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC-educação básica), compreendendo de que há nessas políticas um caráter articulatório de tentativas de padronização do currículo da formação docente e da educação básica (FRANGELLA; DIAS, 2018; HYPÓLITO, 2021; DINIZ-PEREIRA, 2021). Enquanto percurso teórico-metodológico, recorremos a uma abordagem qualitativa centrada  a Teoria do Discurso (LACLAU; MOUFFE, 2015),  realizamos a análise do texto político das bases curriculares (BRASIL, 2017; 2019), incorporamos também nessa análise resultados de processos de negociação-articulação de políticas-práticas curriculares investigadas, principalmente, no contexto do agreste pernambucano durante o cenário de pandemia para fomentar nossa discussão (VELOSO; ALMEIDA, 2022; VELOSO, 2021; MELO; VELOSO; ALMEIDA, 2021).  A partir, evidenciamos, que a BNC-formação se articula a BNCC-educação básica na busca de controle dos processos de formação/atuação dos professores da educação básica, ou seja, do seu saber-fazer. No entanto, embora enfatizemos o fortalecimento dos discursos em torno da padronização/normatização da formação/atuação docente, compreendemos que esses processos não se constituem fora de constrangimentos contextuais, havendo a possibilidade de novas leituras e significativas interpretações nas ações/decisões tomadas nas práticas cotidianas dos professores (LOPES, 2016).
LINGUISTA FORENSE: UMA POSSIBILIDADE DE ATUAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL PARA O BRASILEIRO LICENCIADO EM LETRAS DO IFRN?

O interesse por escrever sobre este tema surge no cenário de inquietação quanto ao futuro laboral do licenciado em Letras, perante um mercado de trabalho, no campo da docência, cada vez mais limitado e fustigado pelas políticas públicas nacionais da educação brasileira, sobretudo para a área de Língua Espanhola. Diante desse contexto, objetivamos neste trabalho de pesquisa vislumbrar outros campos de atuação profissional, além da docência, em específico com a linguística forense. Para tal, recorremos à pesquisa documental, bibliográfica e de campo, a fim de encontrar respaldo para o entendimento de que o Licenciado em Letras tem sim possibilidades outras de atuação profissional, a exemplo a de linguista forense. Na pesquisa documental e bibliográfica nos debruçamos em documentos como os projetos do curso, leis inerentes ao tema, assim como buscamos respaldo teórico no pensamento de Colares (2017), Vichi (2021, Velasco & Vieira (2020), dentre outros que nos permitam conhecer, refletir e dialogar sobre a formação do licenciado em Letras e a provável diversificação na sua atuação e projeção profissional. Na pesquisa de campo, os dados analisados são decorrentes de questionário semiestruturado que revela de forma bastante clara a falta de conhecimento e informação quanto a outros campos de atuação para um licenciado em Letras, além da docência; também chegamos na conclusão da relevância na formação continuada e qualificação especializada para atuar em outros campos como a linguística forense, já que a formação em Letras possui todo o aporte inicial necessário para esse campo. Acreditamos na relevância deste trabalho por trazer respaldo para definir ou redefinir a atuação profissional numa área que ora é, ora não é considerada como relevante para a sociedade brasileira, o decente, e ainda mais, de língua espanhola.
