Expanding Imaginations for a Post-2030 Agenda: The Interaction between Christian and Indigenous Spiritualities in the Philippines
Authors: Bridger Emma
Published: March 2023

Encounters with marginalised spiritualties and religions can assist in the creation of a post-2030 agenda that recognises the limitations of existing ideas of ‘sustainable development’ and ‘progress’, the necessity of which is evidenced by our worsening climate and ecological crisis.

The acknowledgement that religion plays an important role in the lives of the majority of the world’s population has led to increased partnerships between religious communities, humanitarian and development practitioners, and policy makers. At best, this has resulted in fruitful partnerships with those whose world views fit into predefined understandings of religion and development. At worst, it has led to the instrumentalisation of religious and spiritual leaders to implement western, individualistic, capitalist, anthropocentric ideas of development. Knowledge flows have remained unidirectional with the aforementioned partnerships yet to see the transformative potential of engaging with a greater diversity of religious and spiritual communities when imagining a post-2030 agenda.

This paper draws on ethnographic engagement and interviews with the Iglesia Filipina Independiente and Lumad Indigenous people in the Philippines to highlight how learned ignorance, encounters and horizontal relationships can expand individual and collective imagination – deconstructing imperial imaginations and prioritising people and planetary flourishing above profit. It highlights the potential way in which diverse subaltern, abyssal and decolonial movements can be engaged to support a burgeoning of ecologies of knowledge capable of challenging hegemonic understandings of ‘progress’ and ‘development’, essential to the post-2030 debate.
Changes in biotic properties of soils due to reforestation of the former agricultural lands (Skolivski Beskydy, the Ukrainian Carpathians)

The article deals with an impact of the former agriculture land abandonment on biotic properties of soils. In order to better comprehend the processes of spontaneous reforestation (sylvatisation) in a mountain region (the Pohartsi boundary, Koziova village, Stryi district, Lviv regionthe (Skolivski Beskydy physiographic region, the Ukrainian Carpathians) four study plots were selected representing the successional sequence: forest → pasture → hay meadow → arable lands. The study revealed that indicators of microbiological activity is positively affected by the forest floor presence. A zone of the highest soil biotic activity coincides with the limits of the humus horizon Н. Getting deeper into soil profile microbiological activity falls manifold due to changes in physical, hydrophysical and physical-chemical soil properties. In the pasture lands that were least affected by the past agricultural activities, we found both increase and decrease in soil biotic properties. This is foremost caused by the environmental changes. Absence of the forest floor, as a major nutrient source, leads to the 30% decrease in the biomass microorganisms while soil pH shift from a largely to moderately acidic reaction causes 1,5-times higher catalase activity. The latter was the highest in the former pasture lands among all study plots and was assessed as “moderate”. Increase in the urease activity was documented, as well. However its highest values were measured in upper soil horizons of both past and present arable lands. Such an increase of the urease activity is caused by application of organic fertilizers. Despite slightly acidic reaction of the soil water extract from upper horizons of ploughed-up soils the catalase activity here decreases up to 2–2.5 times. This is caused by deterioration of hydric and aeration properties of soils due to their compaction. We noted manifold decrease in the С-СО2 production, as well. The most optimal soil parameters were characteristic for the hay meadow plot despite being significantly affected by anthropogenic activities while the succession of ‘arable lands → pasture → hay meadow’ took a path. Similar moderate soil biotic activity was distinguished for the former pasture land plots. This indicates on the self-restoration and self-regulation capacities of natural ecosystems in the region. We concluded that major indicators of soil biotic activity in the past arable lands are the urease activity, microbial biomass, and soil respiration. The catalase activity makes an additional value for soil degradation assessment of the post-agricultural land uses.

LEGAL EFFORTS FOR A RULING OF PERMANENT LEGAL FORCE THAT CANNOT BE EXCECUTED
Authors: Rayati Dewi , Firdaus Firdaus , Danial Danial
Published: March 2023

In terms of unusual crimes, terrorism is one of the most heinous acts. One only needs to look at the crimes that have been committed across national borders to recognize how devastating they can be for the victims and their families. The research method employed in this study is a combination of the Statute Approach and the Literature Approach. Since there are a variety of criminal activities that have been branded as terrorist crimes yet their perpetrators' goals and backgrounds differ, there is no agreed-upon definition of terrorism, according to a study. As an example of a crime that has been condemned as an act of international terrorism at the national level, the WTO event of September 11, 2001, and the Bali Bombing incident of 2002 come to mind. Therefore, it is imperative that all parties, including legal professionals, agree on the limitations of terrorism, as well as work together to prevent this unique crime from occurring.Keywords: Terrorism; National Law; International law; Extraordinary Crime

THE CONCEPT OF POWER OVER MOVEABLE PROPERTY (BEZIT) IN CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LAW PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Ayu Isdiyana Kusuma , Anggraeny Isdian
Published: March 2023

The issue of the position of power over movable property often raises the question of whether the party in control is the owner. This is very important in the realm of law, especially if an object that is controlled by one party will be made the object of a transaction with another person. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out further legal identification and analysis related to the concept of the position of control of the movable property, both in the perspective of civil law and criminal law so that in the end it can find differences and similarities in the concept of the position of control of the movable property so that it can create legal certainty and protection for the public. parties involved in an engagement or legal relationship. Therefore, the implementation of control of objects in civil law cannot be separated from the provisions in criminal law which ultimately require pawnshops to apply the principle of prudence in control of objects.

The excessive use of sulphur and creation of stomme as an early modern cellar technique in Dutch wine trade
Authors: Beukers Mariëlla , Blijleven Rob
Published: March 2023

On the basis of study of early modern literature and other period sources we describe the production and use of stomme, used by Dutch wine merchants in the 17th, 18th and 19th century. We conclude that stomme was made by using excessive amounts of sulphur dioxide, thereby creating health hassards. The States General of the Dutch Republic acknowlegded that danger, and banned the use of stomme  in 1613. However, the ban was never implemented and stomme remained in use for a long time. We argue that the ban was inspired by the risks posed to the health of the wine drinkers, but that economic reasons for a continuance of use prevailed. 
Weak content preferences stabilise culture
Authors: Acerbi Alberto , de Courson Benoît
Published: March 2023

Outcomes in the cultural arena are due to many factors, but are there general rules that can suggest what makes some cultural traits successful and others not? Research in cultural evolution theory distinguishes factors related to social influence (such as copying from the majority, or from certain individuals) from factors related to intrinsic features of cultural traits (such as being more effective, easy to transmit, or memorable). Here we show, using analytical and individual-based models, that preferences for content, even when weak, being stable and directional, determine the equilibrium point of cultural dynamics when acting together with non-directional social influence. The results have implications regarding the importance of keeping into account individual-level, non-social, factors, when studying cultural evolution, as well as regarding the interpretation of cross-cultural regularities, that have to be expected, but can be product of weak directional forces, intensified by social influence. In addition, they suggest that when planning policies for behavioral changes, it is fundamental to consider widespread individual preferences, even subtle ones, and design interventions that reinforce them.

INDONESIAN STUDENTS: LEARNING PATTERN IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Sardi Ahmed
Published: March 2023

The culture of Indonesia undoubtedly has an impact on learning habits in higher education, particularly in Indonesia. Given that Indonesian has a diverse range of cultures, it is possible to see how different civilizations approach learning or gaining something new. The atmosphere felt by the students is to have a significant impact on their attitude toward learning and reading. One study demonstrates that self-confidence, discipline, initiative, and responsibility are four crucial indications of a student's ability to study independently in a higher education setting.According to a different study, students from Sri Lanka and the Netherlands had more similar learning patterns than Indonesian students did. The two external regulating scales, as well as the presence of loadings for the memorizing and rehearsing approach, and the absence of a loading for personal interest were the discrepancies. The Indonesian investigations were relatively comparable and nearly entirely displayed high or moderately high loadings of all learning conception scales. This element can be seen as a pattern of passive idealistic learning. A moderate inverse loading of a vocational orientation on this item was seen in the Indonesian investigation.
Differential expression of HSPH1 in colorectal cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and colorectal cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined public and published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding heat shock protein family H (Hsp110) member 1, HSPH1, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. HSPH1 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. HSPH1 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.
Don't fence me in! Rural resentment and political trust in the United States
Authors: Thompson Jack
Published: March 2023

Citizens in the United States exhibit chronically low levels of political trust. When citizens lack trust in political institutions, they may view them as illegitimate. This can undermine the government's ability to make and enforce policies effectively. Therefore, discovering why some individuals have low levels of political trust has important implications for democratic functioning and governance. Emerging work points to a significant place-based divide in levels of political trust in advanced Western liberal democracies. In this paper, I build on this research agenda by arguing that a substantive factor contributing to low levels of political trust in the United States is rural resentment - or the perception that rural areas have too little influence, that rural areas do not receive their fair share of resources, and that rural ways of life are not being respected. Using data from the 2020 ANES, I find that rural resentment predicts lower political trust. I also find that rural resentment has greater explanatory power in predicting political trust than rural identity and subjective evaluations of rurality. The findings contribute to ongoing debates concerning the drives of low political trust in Western liberal democracies such as the US, and also demonstrate that the affective dimension of place-based attitudes are stronger predictors of political attitudes than measures of place.

Differential expression of UBE2C in colorectal cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and colorectal cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined public and published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 C, UBE2C, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. UBE2C mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of UBE2C in rectal tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with rectal cancer. UBE2C expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.
“Uh” and “um” in autism: The case of hesitation marker usage in Dutch-speaking autistic preschoolers
Authors: Mues Marjolein , Demurie Ellen , Erdogan Maide , Schaubroeck Sarah , Loth Eva , Roeyers Herbert
Published: March 2023

English-speaking autistic children use the hesitation marker “um” less often than non-autistic children while they use “uh” at a similar rate. It is unclear why this is the case. We examined hesitation marker usage of Dutch-speaking autistic and non-autistic preschoolers with the aim to 1) make a crosslinguistic comparison of hesitation marker usage and 2) examine two hypotheses regarding the underlying linguistic mechanisms of hesitation markers: the symptom hypothesis and the signal hypothesis. We replicated group differences in “um” usage and showed significant effects of age and biological sex in the selection of hesitation marker (“uh” versus “um”). We found that “uh” usage is correlated with structural language abilities while “um” is not. “Um” may be related to pragmatic language abilities, which were not examined here. The findings support the notion that hesitation markers are not involuntary utterances but deliberate language features, which is in line with the signal hypothesis.
Experience of space in Defense of Korčula from the Ottoman attack (1571) by Antonius Rosaneus
Authors: Jovanovic Neven
Published: March 2023

Antonio Rosaneo (Korčula, 30 October 1524 – probably Korčula, c. 1580?), a member of a patrician family from Korčula and the archdeacon of the Korčula cathedral chapter, in August 1571 led a successful defense of the city of Korčula, on the eponymous island, from an attack of the Ottoman fleet under the command of Occhiali (Uluj Ali, pasha of Algiers); the operations were a prelude to the Battle of Lepanto, fought in the Ionian Sea in October 1571. The Korčula event was seen as miraculous, because there was no Venetian military presence on the island, and the city was defended by some 150 local people. Later Rosaneo described the event in a Latin history under the title Vauzalis sive Occhialinus, Algerii Prorex, Corcyram Melaenam terra marique oppugnat nec expugnat. Relatio historica Antonii Rosenei. The history is preserved in six manuscripts, it exists in at least two versions (one dedicated to Nicolò da Ponte as Doge of Venice; da Ponte was in office 1578–1585), it has been translated into Italian and Croatian and published six times from 1871 on (there are three editions of Latin text, but none of them takes into consideration all manuscripts). Until now there have been few interpretations of Rosaneo's work, and it had been considered as a document of local history, a memorial to courage and piety of the people of Korčula. Rosaneo, however, took much care to compose a non-fiction literary work in Latin. My claim is that his writing produces Korčula as a social space, and that new insights will be gained if we read Vauzalis sive Occhialinus... from that aspect, along the lines of Henri Lefebvre's La Production de l'espace (1974) and its application to Pindar's choral lyric in Kurke and Neer Pindar, Song, and Space: Towards a Lyric Archaeology (2019).

1. Hydromorphology provides a physical framework for aquatic biocenoses. Its condition directly affects the quality of habitats available for fauna and flora and its assessment is therefore required by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) to assess the ecological status of lake water bodies. 2. In this study, we developed an index of Lake HYdroMOrphology (LHYMO) to provide a quantitative assessment of the hydromorphological status of natural and non-natural lakes that can be used for the implementation of the WFD and is consistent with CEN standards. 3. This new index addresses the shortage of methods describing adequately hydromorphological alterations on lakes on both hydrology and morphology. LHYMO includes nine metrics related to morphological WFD quality elements (QE) and six metrics related to hydrological WFD QE, all of which considered to support biological elements. The reference conditions were defined for each metric using an original approach: the degree of alteration is measured in relation to the natural characteristics of each lake, relative to a state that ‘would be expected in the absence of disturbances’. 4. Besides its use for regulatory purposes, this index is also an interesting tool to monitor the efficacy of hydromorphological restoration projects or to help target effective conservation measures on lakes.5. Application of this index to 72 French lakes provides the first quantitative and homogeneous assessment of the hydromorphological quality of lakes over a whole territory and gives the first overview of the hydromorphological status of lakes in France, with classification into five classes ranging from ‘high’ to ‘bad’. 6. LHYMO is already operational for large French lakes as it relies mostly on reference datasets available at a national scale, and may also be used in a wider scope through gathering or completing data from other sources.
Data, knowledge and modeling challenges for science-informed management of river deltas
Authors: Schmitt Rafael Jan Pablo , Minderhoud Philip
Published: March 2023

450 million people live on river deltas and thus on land that is precariously low above the sea level and sinking because of human activities and natural processes. Although global debates around coastal risk typically focus on sea level rise, it is sinking lands and rising seas that together endanger lives and livelihoods in river deltas. However, the ability to quantify and address those risks in an integrated manner remains limited. Herein, we identify four priority areas where a lack of data, models, and knowledge is limiting sustainable delta management, namely (1) developing practical models for delta-scale processes and nature-based solutions, (2) coupling models for basin and delta processes, (3) closing knowledge disparities between river deltas, and (4) integrating deltas in assessments of global change and vice versa. Addressing those challenges through global scientific effort is instrumental to identify local-to-global levers to design adaptation and mitigation measures for resilient river deltas.

Background: The fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) introduced the dissociative subtype of posttraumatic stress disorder (D-PTSD). To assess this subtype, Wolf et al. (2017) developed the Dissociative Subtype of PTSD Scale (DSPS), a 15-item self-report measure to identify lifetime and current dissociative symptoms of D-PTSD. However, so far, the scale has only been validated in war veterans. Moreover, criterion validity and diagnostic utility have not been examined yet. Objective: We aimed to validate the DSPS in two samples of civilian trauma-exposed German-speaking participants.Methods: In Study 1, a pre-registered online study, participants with and without PTSD symptoms (N=558) answered questionnaires about traumatic experiences, dissociation, PTSD, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, somatic symptom disorder, alcohol use disorder, absorption, and dissociative responding to trauma-related questionnaires. In Study 2, which used secondary data of a pre-registered clinical study, participants with a PTSD diagnosis (N=71) answered questionnaires about traumatic experiences, dissociation, PTSD, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, somatic symptom disorder, and dissociative responding to standardized trauma exposure. Moreover, PTSD, D-PTSD, and other diagnoses were assessed with structured clinical interviews. Results: Analyses confirmed a three-factor structure as well as high internal consistency, and high convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity of the DSPS. Moreover, the scale was able to identify a latent D-PTSD group and individuals with D-PTSD diagnosis. Conclusions: The DSPS constitutes a reliable and valid tool to assess D-PTSD symptoms in clinical practice and research and thereby may contribute to a better understanding of these debilitating symptoms.
Attitudes Toward the Adoption of two AI-Enabled Mental Health Tools Among Prospective Psychotherapists: A Cross-Sectional Study

Published: March 2023

Background: An investigation of individual-level predictors of the intention to use an AI-enabled feedback and a treatment recommendation tool in mental healthcare.Objective: Using an extended UTAUT model to gain insight into the predictors of technology usage intentions for two specific AI-enabled mental healthcare tools.Methods: A cross-sectional study included 206 psychology students and psychotherapists-in-training to examine the predictors of their intention to use two AI-enabled mental healthcare tools. The first tool provides feedback to the psychotherapist on their adherence to motivational interviewing techniques. The second tool uses patient voice samples to derive mood scores that the therapist may use for treatment decisions. Participants were presented with graphic depictions of the tools’ functioning mechanisms before measuring the variables of an extended UTAUT. Two structural equation models (one for each tool) were specified that included direct and mediated paths predicting tool usage intentions.Results: Perceived usefulness and social influence had a positive effect on the intention to use both tools. However, trust was unrelated to usage intention for both tools. Moreover, perceived ease of use was unrelated (feedback tool) and even negatively related (treatment recommendation tool) to usage intentions when considering all predictors. In addition, a direct relationship between cognitive technology readiness and the intention to use the feedback tool, and a negative relationship between AI anxiety and usage intentions were observed.Conclusions: The results shed light on general and tool-dependent drivers of AI technology adoption in mental healthcare. Future research may explore technological and user group characteristics that influence the adoption of AI-enabled tools in mental healthcare.
PSYCHOPHYSICAL INTERACTIONS WITH ELECTRICAL PLASMA: THREE EXPLORATORY EXPERIMENTS
Authors: Radin Dean , Anastasia Joyce
Published: March 2023

Streams of ionized gas in an 8-inch diameter plasma ball were recorded by a webcam while participants focused their attention toward or away from the plasma streams. They were instructed to hold the intention that the illumination observed by the webcam should increase, or to withdraw their attention and intention. The plasma ball in Experiment 1 was inside a sealed box 3 meters from the participant. After 10 sessions, the result was a significant decrease in illumination when comparing the focus toward vs. away conditions (z = -2.7, p = 0.007, two-tailed); control sessions without the participant showed no difference (z = -0.78, p = 0.44). Experiment 2 involved 10 participants, except the plasma ball was in an electromagnetically shielded chamber 4 meters from the participants, with the chamber door open so they could see the ball. After 21 sessions the results were a significant increase in illumination in both experimental (z = 5.20, p = 2 × 10-7) and control sessions (z = 2.3, p = 0.02). Experiment 3 involved 13 participants and 29 sessions, plus two types of plasma balls. It was conducted with the shielded chamber closed and with three randomly assigned intentional goals: aim for the plasma streams to move up, move right, or a baseline condition with no aim. The results showed that the recorded illumination differed when the intention was to aim right vs. aim up (z = 5.01, p = 5.6 x 10-7). Similar results were obtained with the two plasma balls. These experiments suggest that electrical plasma may be a promising physical target for use in mind-matter interaction studies.
