This study tests the influence of destination image on loyalty. It also examines the moderation effect of visitors’ experiences in the link between the two main components of destination image and loyalty. For this reason, responses from 302 visitors at Zaghouan, Tunisia were collected using a pre-examined questionnaire form. The collected responses were analyzed with SmartPLS SEM and Multi-group analysis. The findings showed that destination image significantly and positively affected visitors’ intention to revisit and recommend agrotourism destination to others. The results confirmed that destination image dimensions (cognitive and affective) influence visitors’ loyalty. These influences are significantly moderated by tourist’s experiences. New visitors with new experiences have less influence on the link between image and loyalty than regular visitors. The findings have some propositions for tourism destination marketers and scholars.
Approaches to Studying public Opinion in the USSR 1920’s–1930’s
Authors: SOPRONIUK Tetiana
Published: November 2024

The measurement of public opinion has become an essential practice across various fields, evolving from historical methods to modern polling techniques. Politicians have long tried to understand public sentiment through tools like media analysis and direct communication. In democratic societies, this understanding helps with electoral success, while in totalitarian regimes, it often serves to maintain control through surveillance and other strategies. The article underscores the challenges scholars face in reconstructing public sentiment in oppressive environments where reliable data is scarce. Historians often depend on alternative sources, such as secret police reports, media publications, and personal accounts, to build a nuanced understanding of public opinion. Our overview has identified various approaches to studying public opinion in the USSR during the interwar period. Some studies focus on representing a range of reactions that ordinary people have to newly introduced state policies and everyday problems. Other scholars highlight complex social dynamics (active and passive resistance, adaptation, apathy, etc.) Moreover, a number of public opinion studies are devoted to the collective identity of different social groups and how it changed under the influence of Soviet propaganda and social engineering. At the same time, some researchers who heavily relied on personal accounts reconstructed people’s emotional states under the pressure of totalitarianism. Overall, exploring public sentiment in oppressive environments allows for a deeper understanding of the nature of totalitarianism and the social resistance under such regimes. Keywords: public opinion, popular opinion, public sentiments, behavior, resistance, USSR, Holodomor.
Look inside: nesting materials and some patterns of nesting biology of the common linnet Linaria cannabina (Linnaeus, C 1758) in the Lviv region

Published: November 2024

The article deals with some aspects of the nesting biology of Linnaria cannabina (Linnaeus, C 1758) in Lviv region. The question of placement, the composition of the nests and the factors that affect this is revealed. The material for writing this article was the data of the Bank of bird nests of Western Ukrainian Ornithological Society (ZUOT) (n=181) and own data (n=18) for 40 years (from 1973 to 2012). Nests were collected in different biotopes and, depending on the distance to the human settlement, were divided into three groups (within settlements, on their outskirts and far beyond in natural biotopes). It was found that for the placement of nests, the common linnet often chooses coniferous (mainly young spruce, thuja or juniper). Among deciduous found trees, a significant variety of bushes and twisted vines (ivy). To choose a place for linnet nest, the architectonics of the aboveground part of the plant is important, so even trees were chosen that are similar to bushes. Very often common linnet places nests in various hedges (spirea, acacia yellow, etc.). Probably due to the fact that the nest is well disguised, its placement height is small (0.2–2.2 m, on average 1.10±0.03 m). The main materials that L. cannabina chooses to build nests are typical of birds of this species in Europe. Linnet nests consisted of plant (in 100 % of the studied nests), animal (98.4 %) and sometimes (23.2 %) materials of anthropogenic origin. From plant materials, linnet most often chose for the nest the roots and stems of herbaceous plants, less often the branches and leaves of trees, plant fluff and moss. Among the materials of animal origin, animal hair and bird feathers were often found in the lining of the nest. Some of the nests contained components of anthropogenic origin (СAО) in different quantities (most often cotton wool). The basic nesting materials of the linnet in Lviv region were small roots and stems of single- and dicotyledonous herbaceous plants, and in the inner part – hair of mammals, feathers of birds, cotton wool. The presence of CAO in bird nests depends on the distance to human settlements and the time of nest construction. In the last couple of decades, the frequency of use of CAO in the nests of the linnet has increased rapidly, which may indicate a growing environment pollution, as well as, perhaps, the habituation to use such materials by common linnet.

Authors:   G.S. Kostiuk Institute of Psychology of the NAES of Ukraine, Zubiashvily Irina , Lavrenko Olga ,   G.S. Kostiuk Institute of Psychology of the NAES of Ukraine
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The socio-economic crisis, political, cultural, and value transformations caused by the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation of Ukraine have a powerful impact on the inner world of people, especially the younger generation and their economic socialization. Therefore, arises a need for young people capable of productive self-realization through self-knowledge, self-determination, which poses the problem of personal identity formation. Formation of a personal identity is the main goal of individuals' socialization. Aim. To determine the features of the mechanism of economic identity of high school students and, on this basis, build a psychological profila of a high school student in terms of economic identity. Methods: I. Zubiashvili's Institutions of Economic Socialization and its Mechanisms questionnaire, Who am I? (M. Kuna, T. McPartland), O. Nikonenko's Measurement of Economic and Psychological Personality Characteristics" (modified by I. Zubiashvili), Incomplete sentences, and Study of Ideas about an Economically Successful Person (Yu. Pachkovskyi). Results. Economic identity in early youth was characterized by contradictions and the presence of internal conflict. The contradiction was due to the fact that although students highly valued money, they still did not know how to use them properly and had bad ideas about the role of money in their personal and social life. The economic identity of high school students was characterized by the prevalence of economic values of economic success (business, capital, real estate, etc.) over psychological values (communication, satisfaction from owning the goods). Social Self was leading identity among high school students, which suggests their readiness to perform social roles, including economic ones. High school students had positive attitudes towards the country's economy, but they lacked interest in it because of the hostilities and socio-economic crisis in Ukraine. The economic ideas of girls had greater meaning than those of boys. Conclusions. The economic identity in early youth is characterized by contradictions and internal conflict. High school students have poorly developed personal characteristics related to economic identity, which are necessary for students' good understanding of economic processes. High school students tend to exaggerate difficulties in meeting their needs for financial security and stability.

"الانعطافة القيمية عند الشعراء الأندلسيين بين الخمر والزّهد إنموذجًا"
Authors: إسراء مطشّر حمود الخويلدي  , أ.د رعد ناصر الوائلي
Published: November 2024

عاش المجتمع الأندلسيّ في اعلبه الأعم في حياة تكاد أن تطغى عليها طابع التّساهل في القيم والأعراف الدّينية والمجتمعية حتّى غدت سمة واضحة في حياتهم.
   وفي الوقت نفسه ألفينا اتجاهاً دينياً يحاول السّير على ديدن المسلمين الأوائل في إسباغ حياتهم طابعاً دينياً وقيمياً، يقف نقيضا على ما عرف به الآخرون.
   وقد حاول البحث الإجابة عن تلك الانعطافة الكبيرة الّتي غيّرت مسار الشّعراء فتحولوا – عندئذٍ -  من حياة لاهية إلى أخرى زاهدة، فكانت المحاولة تكمن في تتبع النتاج الشّعري الّذي رسم حقيقتين متناقضتين عند الشّعراء ولا سيما في الخمريات.

Culture specific terms are problematic in translation as they are normally laden with a host of cultural associations and contextual components  rendering them challenging and difficult to translate.  Hence, the current research attempts to identify and address this problem through a quantitative and a qualitative  analysis of the research sample`s  renderings of Arab headdress articles` terms  (AHDATs)  into English. The research sample consists of 25 4th  grade translation students in translation department / Faculty of Arts / Wasit university. Each student is asked to translate sentences containing such terms in order to assess their renderings, diagnose the reasons of failure(if any) in grasping the intended meanings and in conveying the cultural associations involved.                        
The researcher designed a 10-item translation test and students are asked to translate them  based on the  knowledge and experience they have obtained. Later the translations are collected to be scrutinized and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively so as to identify the frequency of usage and the rate of occurrence of different renderings . This would assist in figuring out the types of problems faced and what remedies and solutions can be suggested for improving their performance. The present study attempts to figure out the erroneous translations and shortcomings in the rendering of  Arab Headdress Articles terms  (AHATs) into English    and the sources and causes of difficulty faced by students in conveying the SL intended meaning  along with their culture- specific associations. As such, it can be identified what applicable measures and practical steps should be taken to enhance translation students` ability to overcome the arising challenges and what recommendations can be made. It is concluded at the end that such challenges and shortcomings can be addressed through including  sufficient material and theorization illustrating the techniques and  strategies proposed by theorists in dealing with culture – specific terms  as well as exposing students to texts containing this kind of terms.
Coping with Long-COVID Stigma: The Role of Self-Compassion and Self-Coldness
Authors: Shani Maor
Published: November 2024

Long COVID, a persistent condition affecting millions worldwide, has recently been associated with stigmatization, warranting the need to examine coping mechanisms. Addressing this gap, this study examined the roles of self-compassion and self-coldness in the relationship between long-COVID stigma and well-being. We surveyed 201 German adults with long-COVID, measuring stigma, self-compassion, self-coldness, subjective well-being (SWB), and flourishing. Long-COVID stigma negatively correlated with SWB and flourishing. Higher self-compassion and lower self-coldness predicted better well-being and flourishing. Internalized stigma was linked to lower flourishing through decreased self-compassion and increased self-coldness. In contrast, enacted stigma was associated with higher SWB and flourishing through lower self-coldness. Overall, self-coldness showed stronger mediation effects than self-compassion. These findings highlight the interplay between stigma, self-relating, and well-being in long-COVID patients, involving both adaptive and maladaptive pathways. Interventions promoting self-compassion and reducing self-coldness may improve well-being for stigmatized individuals and should be considered in holistic long-COVID treatment approaches.

Brain-behaviour associations underlying object engagement during caregiver-infant interactions.
Authors: Theyer Aimee , Wijeakumar Sobanawartiny
Published: November 2024

Previous research has shown that infants’ abilities to engage, re-orient and sustain attention are measurable, aligned with, and influenced by caregivers’ attentional behaviours. Here, we inquired whether infant and caregiver behaviours and brain function differ across types of object engagement and, joint attention and sustained attention periods during dyadic interactions. We also examined whether these caregiver-infant behaviour-brain associations predicted infant visual cognition. Caregivers and infants were recorded for 5- to 7-minutes as they naturalistically played with toys. Brain function was also recorded from both partners using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. In addition, to assess visual cognition, we presented infants with a preferential looking task with a load manipulation. Video recordings were split into 5-second epochs and coded for unimodal (look only), bimodal (look and touch) and multimodal (look, touch, and vocalisation/verbalisation) engagement, and collapsed into caregiver-infant joint attention and infant sustained attention periods. Both caregivers and infants showed greater proportion of bimodal compared to unimodal and multimodal engagement. However, only infants showed modality-specific changes in right-lateralized fronto-parietal cortex suggesting a role in actively shifting between attentional demands. In line with previous findings, greater proportion of caregiver-infant joint attention was associated with greater proportion of infant sustained attention. Further, caregiver-infant associations during joint and sustained attention were observed in the left superior temporal gyrus, a region involved in social cognition. Critically, infants whose caregivers showed greater suppression in this region during joint attention, had better visual cognition. Our findings highlight the importance of studying changes in brain function during caregiver-infant dyadic interactions.

Innovative robotic systems and simulation models have revolutionized precision surgery and manufacturing automation by enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and safety. Robotic systems in surgery, originating from military telepresence initiatives, enable minimally invasive procedures, while advancements like augmented reality further improve outcomes. In manufacturing, machine vision and automation technologies streamline processes, reduce human intervention, and boost productivity. Simulation models complement these innovations by allowing risk-free evaluation and optimization of complex systems. Despite their transformative potential, challenges such as economic barriers, regulatory hurdles, and workforce shortages hinder widespread adoption. Addressing these issues is crucial to unlocking the full benefits of these technologies for healthcare and industrial sectors.
Intact neurophysiological markers of death denial in ayahuasca veterans

Published: November 2024

There is a growing hype regarding the efficacy of psychedelics to fundamentally change how we interact with the theme of death. The underlying evidence consists of anecdotal and self-report data collected in naturalistic and clinical settings suggesting that psychedelics inculcate more acceptance and less fear and anxiety of one’s mortality. However, given hundreds of empirical studies implicating unconscious cognitive processes in mortality avoidance, the current state of the literature is limited and calls for a more robust stratification of the phenomena by collecting implicit behavioral and no-report neurobiologically-informed evidence. Thus, here we implement a previously validated no-report magnetoencephalogram (MEG) visual MisMatch Response (vMMR) paradigm for assessing whether ayahuasca veterans’ brains, relative to previously published data of healthy controls and experienced meditators, display neurophysiological markers of denial or acceptance of death, respectively. Self-report and behavioral measures of fear-of-death were also collected. The results show that ayahuasca veterans’ brains responded to the coupling of death and self-stimuli in a manner indicating denial rather than acceptance. At the same time, the ayahuasca sample displayed less fearful behavioral responses than the general population, and less self-reported fear-of-death than both the general and the meditators sample. Further analyses on the neurophysiological marker of death denial support its construct validity by associating it with less self-reported death acceptance and reduced accessibility to death-related thoughts. Finally, death denial was also associated with greater life satisfaction, supporting the adaptive role of the neural machinery underlying mortality defenses. Overall, our findings provide preliminary evidence that while ayahuasca may alter how humans interact with the theme of death on conscious levels of cognitive processing, on automatic unconscious levels of perceptual self-specific processing, death denial processes appear to remain intact. The limits of psychedelics transformative efficacy are discussed considering current frameworks of psychedelic action and attentional training.
Multi-Stage Network Interdiction with Decision-Dependent Success: Scenario Clustering and Reformulation Techniques
Authors: Tezcan Baris , Maass Kayse Lee
Published: November 2024

This article studies a network interdiction problem where the success of the first player's attempt to remove arcs is based on decision- dependent success probabilities, and the second player (the follower) responds by pushing maximum flow. In this multi-stage model, previous interdictions affect future interdictions' success probabilities. The decision-dependent structure requires an objective function that includes a conditional probability that is nonlinear, which we reformulate into a mixed integer program using probability flow networks over all possible scenarios. However, this reformulation involves a large number of scenarios. To reduce the scenario space, we present a scenario clustering approach that exploits the problem structure while preserving optimality. We also provide a scenario clustering heuristic for further reductions and faster solution times where optimality is not guaranteed. We illustrate our method by solving instances on various physical grid and supply chain networks. We also investigate how changing decision-dependent success probabilities over time can influence interdiction policies over these networks.
Maximum Solar Energy Tracking Leverage High-DoF Robotics System with Deep Reinforcement Learning

Solar trajectory monitoring is a pivotal challenge in solar energy systems, underpinning applications such as autonomous energy harvesting and environmental sensing. A prevalent failure mode in sustained solar tracking arises when the predictive algorithm erroneously diverges from the solar locus, erroneously anchoring to extraneous celestial or terrestrial features. This phenomenon is attributable to an inadequate assimilation of solar-specific objectness attributes within the tracking paradigm. To mitigate this deficiency inherent in extant methodologies, we introduce an innovative objectness regularization framework that compels tracking points to remain confined within the delineated boundaries of the solar entity. By encapsulating solar objectness indicators during the training phase, our approach obviates the necessity for explicit solar mask computation during operational deployment. Furthermore, we leverage the high-DoF robot arm to integrate our method to improve its robustness and flexibility in different outdoor environments.
Image primitives supporting perception of animate forms

Published: November 2024

The human visual system can recognise familiar forms, most notably faces, in other objects or patterns, a phenomenon known as pareidolia. The patterns that elicit pareidolia range from meaningful to ambiguous and random images, making it hard to generalise across the featural or configurational properties that trigger different types of pareidolia. Here, we aim to characterise the minimal stimuli associated with different types of pareidolia and investigate the extent to which pareidolia is tuned to variations in natural scene statistics and symmetry. Participants in the current study viewed a range of synthetic noise patterns varying in their spatiotemporal spectral and symmetry characteristics and reported any shapes or structure perceived in these patterns. The patterns with spatiotemporal properties typical of natural scenes generated the highest number of responses with more animate, rather than inanimate, forms overall. While faces were the most reported animacy-related percept, responses covered a wide range of animate agents including animals and mythical creatures. The greatest number and the highest proportion of animacy-related percepts were observed in vertically symmetrical patterns compared to other types of pattern symmetry. Together, the current study establishes that pareidolia is tuned to natural scene statistics and biased towards animate forms, especially in patterns with vertical symmetry. It also demonstrates the usefulness of synthetic noise stimuli for pareidolia research.

Objective: Difficulties in emotion regulation during adolescence—a critical period for the development of these abilities—have been linked to depression. Early identification of deficits in emotion regulation may help prevent the onset of depression. This study investigated whether emotion regulation dynamics, particularly the speed of regulation to one’s affective equilibrium (damping) inferred from the Damped Oscillator Model (DOM), could predict future depressive symptoms in adolescents. We hypothesized that the relationship between damping and long-term outcomes would depend on the position of an individual's equilibrium. Methods: Participants (N = 115) aged 12-15 completed smartphone-based EMA for 30 days, rating six emotions four times daily. The DOM was applied to each participant's time series data, yielding person-specific frequency of oscillations (η) and damping (ζ) parameters. These parameters were then used to predict depressive symptoms at 6- and 12-month follow-ups controlling for baseline levels of depression. Results: Results revealed that the interaction between the damping parameter and the equilibrium position significantly predicted depressive symptoms for sadness, but not for other emotions. For individuals with higher equilibrium levels of sadness, stronger damping predicted higher follow-up depressive symptoms. Additionally, higher frequency of oscillation around the equilibrium – representing greater elasticity and less rigidity – of two emotions (interest and happiness) predicted fewer depressive symptoms. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the adaptive value of rapid emotional recovery depends on one's baseline emotional state. Tracking emotion regulation dynamics of both positive and negative emotions may improve our ability to identify adolescents at risk for depression before symptoms emerge, thereby informing targeted intervention and prevention efforts.
