Penerapan Konsep Solid Nature pada Penataan Ekowisata Mangrove di Gunung Anyar Surabaya
Authors: Aprilina Rani , Hastijanti Retno
Published: June 2023

A mangrove forest is an ecosystem that mostly supports life in coastal areas. Its existence is very important because a mangrove forest has a great potential to support the economy, local societies, and environments. Far from the heart of town, there is a region that preserves the biological diversity that is located in Pantai Timur Surabaya in the form of a mangrove forest conservation site. One such example is “Wisata Anyar Mangrove” that was proposed to be the first Mangrove Great Park in Indonesia by the Surabayan Government. Nowadays, sadly we can see that its condition is miserable. Therefore reordering of the “Wisata Anyar Mangrove” to maintain it is a must to mend and improve the “Wisata Anyar Mangrove” area, considering the region will be developed into Mangrove Great Park as an continuous mangrove forest conservation endeavor.

Facebook, Art-related Communicative Action, and the Public Sphere.doc
Authors: Salomäenpää Ilkka
Published: June 2023

Facebook functions as an intermediary for the art-related communicative action. If earlier the publicity of art has been controlled by institutions, now on social media the institutional art world and the outsider of the institutional recognition, the art life activity, function more equally. The users have possibilities for professional participation and action without the steering systems. I have proved in my doctoral thesis, Art Life as Communicative Action on Facebook (2022), that social media has possibilities to build the new public spheres. In this Crosscurrents article, I am interested in how the development could help the Finnish art and cultural policy to aim towards a more democratic and open system. This demands that institutional actors of state recognize the possibilities and also, the right providers for the services.
RevisingClonostachysand allied genera inBionectriaceae
Authors: Zhao L. , Groenewald J.Z. , Hernández-Restrepo M. , Schroers H.-J. , Crous P.W.
Published: June 2023

Clonostachys(Bionectriaceae,Hypocrealesspecies are common soil-borne fungi, endophytes, epiphytes, and saprotrophs. Sexual morphs ofClonostachysspp.were placed in the genusBionectria,which was further segregated into the six subgeneraAstromata,Bionectria,Epiphloea,Myronectria,Uniparietina, andZebrinella. However, with the end of dual nomenclature,Clonostachysbecame the single depository for sexual and asexual morph-typified species. Species ofClonostachysare typically characterised by penicillate, sporodochial, and, in many cases, dimorphic conidiophores (primary and secondary conidiophores). Primary conidiophores are mononematous, either verticillium-like or narrowly penicillate. The secondary conidiophores generally form imbricate conidial chains that can collapse to slimy masses, particularly on sporodochia. In the present study, we investigated the species diversity within a collection of 420 strains ofClonostachysfrom the culture collection of, and personal collections at, the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Strains were analysed based on their morphological characters and molecular phylogeny. The latter used DNA sequence data of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions and intervening 5.8S nrDNA (ITS) and partial 28S large subunit (LSU) nrDNA and partial protein encoding genes including the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1) and β-tubulin (TUB2). Based on these results, the subgeneraAstromata,Bionectria,MyronectriaandZebrinellaare supported withinClonostachys. Furthermore, the genusSesquicilliumis resurrected to accommodate the former subgeneraEpiphloeaandUniparietina. The close relationship ofClonostachysandSesquicilliumis strongly supported as both are inferred phylogenetically as sister-genera. New taxa include 24 new species and 10 new combinations. Recognition ofSesquicilliumdistinguishes species typically forming a reduced perithecial stroma superficially on plant tissue from species inClonostachysoften forming well-developed, through bark erumpent stromata. The patterns of observed perithecial wall anatomies, perithecial wall and stroma interfaces, and asexual morph diversifications described in a previously compiled monograph are used for interpreting ancestral state reconstructions. It is inferred that the common ancestor ofClonostachysandSesquicilliummay have formed perithecia superficially on leaves, possessed a perithecial wall consisting of a single region, and formed intercalary phialides in penicilli of conidiophores. Character interpretation may also allow hypothesising that diversification of morphs occurred then in the two genera independently and that the frequently stroma-linkedClonostachysmorphs evolved together with the occupation of woody host niches and mycoparasitism.
Forerunner of Sh. Marjani's work «Nazurat al-Haqq» («Review of the truth»)
Authors: Salakhov A. M.
Published: June 2023

The article provides a brief description of an unpublished handwritten work by Mukhammad-Amin al-Bulgari, devoted to the issue of the obligation to perform a night prayer on short summer nights, when the evening dawn does not disappear until the dawn. The work is a dispute in absentia between the author and an opponent representing the camp of those who believed that the obligatory nature of night prayer on the mentioned days of the year subsides due to the absence of a reason for its obligatory nature, which is the disappearance of twilight. The author refutes the condition put forward by the opponent by the fact that the real reason for the obligation to perform a prayer is that a person receives benefits from Almighty Allah, while physical signs serve as nothing more than a guideline for its performance. Coordinating the hadith about the imamship of Jibril (Gabriel), which explains the times of five prayers, and the hadith of Dajjal (The Antichrist), which refers to the need to determine the conditional time of prayer during the day, which will last a year, the author concludes that the first does not imply a physical sign (disappearance of dawn), but the corresponding period of time.
The criterion of the «worship» (‘ibada) concept from the point of view of Islamic dogma
Authors: Shagaviev D. A.
Published: June 2023

This article is a study of the term ‘ibada (worship) through the prism of Sunni dogma, or rather a study of a criterion or measure, with the help of which it can be determined that some act or mental aspiration of a person is considered to be or not to be a worship from the point of view of Theology. This is important in order to correctly assess a person's actions in the context of monotheism and polytheism. A review of the sources and literature on this topic indicates that Sunni theologians from the time of al-Salaf al-Salih to the present day knew about this criterion, which is the conviction of the divinity of someone with respect to whom humility is manifested. Unfortunately, the medieval theologian Ibn-Taymiyya, whose legacy became the foundation for the followers of Salafism (Wahhabism), ignored this criterion in his definition of worship. This in turn led to fact that some masses of Muslims were accused of disbelief (kufr) and polytheism (shirk). Their particular actions were judged as worship of someone else except Allah. Currently, similar accusations against Muslims by the supporters of the Wahhabi doctrine still happen to occur. However, even among them there are those who are critical of the heritage of their authorities and admit the fallacy of the absence of this criterion in their works.
Fatwas of the Religious Administration of Muslims of the Republic of Dagestan (2017–2022): theological analysis
Authors: Shakhrudinov M. I.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of fatwas carried out by the DUM RD (Religious Administration of Muslims of the Republic of Dagestan) in the period from 12/4/2017 to 05/19/2022. At the beginning, a general analysis and classification of fatwas for the entire specified period is made. A total of 760 fatwas were considered. Their topics cover issues of belief, worship, trade, personal status, social problems, medicine and crime. Below here are the statistics of fatwas for each separate year. Moreover, here we can observe three fatwas given as an example of the Dagestan ulema issuing theological and legal conclusions. Analyzing the sources on which the employees of the DUM RD relied when issuing the first hundred fatwas, it was revealed that in most cases they refer to the book «Tuhfat al-mukhtaj”, and to a lesser extent to a number of other authoritative writings among the Shafiites.
The blood currency of suicidal mass shooters: 60 years of U.S. evidence
Authors: Vuong Quan-Hoang , Nguyen Minh-Hoang , Jin Ruining , Le Tam-Tri
Published: June 2023

When looking at mass shooting incidents, suicidal shooters seem to carry an even more extreme sense of terror and brutality. The current study aimed to examine how mass shooters’ suicidality and suicide behavioral threshold influence the severity of the mass shooting. We employed Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics on a dataset of 194 mass shooters (incidents with four or more victims killed) from 1966 to 2023 in the United States (U.S.). The data were retrieved from The Violence Project Database, originally supported by the National Institute of Justice, U.S. Department of Justice. Based on the statistical analysis, we discovered that mass shooters with suicidal ideation were more likely to kill two more victims on average than their non-suicidal counterparts. For suicidal mass shooters found dead on the scene (either by self-killing or “suicide by cop”), their victim count rises by around four on average when compared to non-suicidal mass shooters. The findings were reasoned through the information-processing perspective of the Mindsponge Theory. Based on the findings and reasoning, we suggest that mass shootings should be considered within larger socio-cultural settings instead of attributing it to be driven primarily by diagnosable psychopathology. Also, promoting an appropriate interpretation of the values of life and death can be an effective way to alleviate the effects of suicidality on mass shooting severity.

High Action Values Occur Near our Body
Authors: Noel Jean-Paul , Serino Andrea
Published: June 2023

In a recent Opinion article Bufacchi and Iannetti (2018) [ 1 ] claim that peripersonal space (PPS) – the space immediately adjacent to one’s body – is widely considered to be ‘a single entity, with binary in-or-out boundary, and mostly dependent on stimulus proximity to the body’. In counterpoint, the authors argue that PPS should not be conceived as an area of space demarked by a strong boundary but instead as ‘fields’ computing ‘contact-related behavioral relevance’ [ 1 ]. They argue that this conceptualization (i) allows PPS measures to change gradually with distance, (ii) reflects the fact that there are many different PPS measures showing different response profiles, and (iii) explains the functional significance of the values composing PPS. Regarding this last point, they suggest that '[t]here is no reason to think that … stimulus proximity is more important to PPS measures than any of the other factors they are sensitive to'. We fully agree with (i) and (ii); PPS should be conceived as a gradient and as plurality of representations [ 2 ]. Contrarily, we argue that, although PPS can be conceived as a ‘value field’, and this definition indeed allows disparate neural networks (e.g., reward systems) to interact with the PPS network, ‘value’ for PPS neurons is nevertheless defined by proximity to the body and is encoded by a specific population of multisensory neurons.

Published: June 2023

The role of identity orientations (the relative importance an individual places on different personal and social attributes and characteristics when defining her or his identity) in adolescent mental health has been rarely investigated. Furthermore, the potential mechanisms that might explain the associations between identity orientations and adolescent mental health are poorly understood. This study protocol describes a one-year longitudinal study across three time points that will investigate the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration in the relationship between identity orientations and various mental health indicators in adolescence. The sample will include a large (N = 2,000 at Time 1) sample of Serbian adolescents, recruited using a two-stage stratified random sampling. The data will be analyzed using the random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM), and the results will be contrasted with the traditional CLPM. This study aims to make a theoretical contribution to research in the fields of identity, self-determination theory, and adolescent mental health, as well as to inform the development of evidence-based recommendations for creating prevention and promotion programs aimed at improving the well-being of adolescents.
PANDANGAN PAK TERHADAP LBGT

Published: June 2023

Tuhan tidak pernah menciptakan seseorang dengan keinginan LGBT. Alkitab memberitahu kita bahwa seseorang menjadi LGBT karena dosa (Roma 1:24-27) dan pada akhirnya karena pilihan mereka sendiri mereka mendapat hukuman yang kekal. Seseorang mungkin dilahirkan dengan kecenderungan terhadap orientasi seksual yang berbeda, sama seperti orang dapat dilahirkan dengan kecenderungan kepada kekerasan dan dosa-dosa lainnya. Ini bukan merupakan dalih untuk hidup dalam dosa dengan mengikuti keinginan dosa mereka.
Using Website Referrals to Identify Unreliable Content Rabbit Holes
Authors: Greene Kevin T. , Pereira Mayana , Pisharody Nilima , Dodhia Rahul , Ferres Juan Lavista , Shapiro Jacob N
Published: June 2023

Does the URL referral structure of websites lead users into “rabbit holes” of unreliable content? Past work suggests algorithmic recommender systems on sites like YouTube lead users to view more unreliable content. However, websites without algorithmic recommender systems have financial and political motivations to influence the movement of users, potentially creating browsing rabbit holes. We address this gap using browser telemetry that captures referrals to a large sample of domains ratedas reliable or unreliable information sources. Our results suggest the incentives for unreliable sites to retain and monetize users create rabbit holes. After landing on anunreliable site, users are very likely to be referred to another page on the site. Further, unreliable sites are better at retaining users than reliable sites. We find less supportfor political motivations. While reliable and unreliable sites are largely disconnected from one another, the probability of traveling from one unreliable site to another is relativelylow. Our findings indicate the need for additional focus on site-level incentives to shape traffic moving through their sites.

Does Studying Philosophy Make People Better Thinkers?
Authors: Prinzing Michael , Vazquez Michael
Published: June 2023

Philosophers often claim that doing philosophy makes people better thinkers. But what evidence is there for this empirical claim? This paper reviews extant evidence and presents some novel findings. After discussing the oft-mentioned question of standardized testing scores, we review research on Philosophy for Children and critical thinking skills among college students. We then present new empirical findings, indicating that on average philosophers are better at logical reasoning, more reflective, and more open-minded than non-philosophers. We also present some preliminary and suggestive evidence that, although some of these differences are due primarily to selection effects, others may not be. Accordingly, a key takeaway is that more data are needed. We conclude with concrete suggestions for philosophers and philosophy departments interested in gathering data to support the claim that studying philosophy makes people better thinkers.
A novel method for estimating properties of attentional oscillators reveals an age-related decline in flexibility
Authors: Kaya Ece , Kotz Sonja A. , Henry Molly J.
Published: June 2023

Auditory tasks such as understanding speech and listening to music rely on the ability to track sound sequences and adjust attention based on the temporal cues they contain. An entrainment approach proposes that internal oscillatory mechanisms underlie the ability to synchronize with rhythms in the external world. Here, we aimed to understand the factors that facilitate and impede rhythm processing by investigating the interplay between the properties of external and internal rhythms. We focused on two key properties of an oscillator: its preferred rate, the default rate at which it oscillates in the absence of input, and flexibility, its ability to adapt to changes in rhythmic context. We hypothesized that flexibility would be diminished with advancing age. Experiment 1 was a two-session duration discrimination paradigm where we developed methods to estimate preferred rate and flexibility and assessed their reliability. Experiment 2 involved a shorter version of this paradigm and a paced tapping task with matched stimulus conditions, in addition to a spontaneous motor tempo (SMT) and two preferred perceptual tempo (PPT) tasks that measured motor and perceptual rate preferences, respectively. Preferred rates, estimated as the stimulus rates with the best performance, showed a harmonic relationship across sessions (Experiment 1) and were correlated with SMT (Experiment 2). Interestingly, estimates from motor tasks were slower than those from the perceptual task, and the degree of slowing was consistent for each individual. To challenge an individual’s oscillator flexibility, we maximized the differences in stimulus rates between consecutive trials in the duration discrimination and paced tapping tasks. As a result, performance in both tasks decreased, and responses on individual trials indicated a gravitation toward the stimulus rate presented in the preceding trial. Critically, flexibility, quantified as an individual’s ability to adapt to faster-than-previous rates, decreased with age. Overall, these findings show domain-specific rate preferences for the assumed oscillatory system underlying rhythm perception and production, and that this system loses its ability to flexibly adapt to changes in the external rhythmic context during ageing.
Perceptions of adulthood: What does it mean to be grown-up?
Authors: Wright Megan , von Stumm Sophie
Published: June 2023

Adulthood has traditionally been defined by the attainment of socio-demographic milestones such as career, marriage, and parenthood. We sought to understand how contemporary adults define adulthood today, when these traditional milestones are often delayed or even out of reach. In a survey of 722 UK adults with an age range from 18 to 77 years, we found that adulthood was predominantly defined by psychological characteristics, for example “Accepting responsibility for the consequences of my actions” (endorsed by 80% of the sample), rather than by socio-demographic milestones (22-40% endorsement). We also found that holding positive attitudes towards adulthood was the strongest independent predictor of self-perceived adult status, independently accounting for 10% of the variance. Our findings suggest that fostering positive attitudes towards adulthood may constitute a pathway for improving mental health in contemporary adults.

Published: June 2023

This research was conducted in Chandragiri Municipality-13 to explore the following objectives; to describe the factors and forces that lead educated youths from developing countries to leave their countries and go abroad, to examine the consequences of such migrations in the study area of Chandragiri particularly. In-depth interviews was used to collect primary information from migrant students and their family members in the study area. It was Purposive sampling methods to select my participants for the study. Fourteen respondents were selected for an interview by using saturation method. There was seven migrants and seven migrant's parents among the respondents.
This paper includes the findings that lack of better opportunity, social structure, and networking with peer’s migrants are major forces that influence the educated youths to go abroad for study. The study area has more negative consequences than positive from youth's migration to developed countries like low chances of remittance, return of migrants, and investment to sending society. Findings indicate that the research area is the exporter of educated youths to developed countries. When we compare the whole nation it can be concluded that Nepal appear as the periphery in the world economy that exports educated youths to Core Countries like Australia, USA, Japan and many European Countries to fulfill labor shortage in major areas.
Practice of Caste Hierarchy in Nepali Muslim Society
Authors: Ojha Niranjan
Published: June 2023

A nation like Nepal, where Hindus make up the bulk of the population, places a greater emphasis on the study of religious minorities. Caste is a distinctive type of stratification. It is purely a Hindu phenomenon that is comprehensible and explicable in terms of Hindu principles and justifications. In addition to the Indian subcontinent, caste is widespread in the Arab world, Polynesia, North and East Africa, Japan, and North America. Like in the Hindu community, there is caste purity and practice of hierarchy in Muslim community. Saiyedism in Muslims society (the Arab domination) like Brahminism in Hindu society is a primary cause of caste prejudice in the Muslim community.

This paper outlines the crucial steps that must be completed at each stage of the caste hierarchy and is based on qualitative research. The subject is being generalized through an observational technique, in-depth interviews, and library research. Muslim scholars and elderly persons who had experienced such practice were picked as the respondents for the purpose of learning more. The respondents are identified as Res.1, Res.2, Res.3, and so forth because they requested anonymity. The Muslim caste hierarchical system in Nepal is the area of this study. It tries to combat the issue of caste hierarchy among Muslim people in Nepal.
Humans and Animals’ Relationship in Karen Joy Fowler’s We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
Authors: Neupane Ravindra
Published: June 2023

This article has explored on the relationships between humans and nonhuman creatures which has long been a predominant dichotomous conceptualization. Especially it has analyzed Karen Joy Fowler’s book We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves which focuses on the relationship between humans and animals. The book also makes readers think about the interspecies relationship’s ethics and epistemologies as a part of ecopoetics. The present debate over animal rights and the condemnation of speciesism, which accords human creatures’ epistemic and ontological privilege, are central issues in critical and cultural animal studies.

The dichotomous view of human-animal relationships holds that there is a categorical border between humans - who are perceived as moral subjects with personal rights and whose internal life is psychologically accessible - and animals, some of which can be considered as companions but always have a lower (or no) status in terms of legal and cultural status and whose minds are inaccessible. To investigate human and animal relations, I have formulated three steps throughout the paper. I have started by discussing recent theories that examine the bond between us and monkeys. Then I have discussed how Kellogg's experiment serves as a significant backdrop to Fowler's book.

Finally, I have addressed the novel’s contribution to current critical discussions about human-animal interactions and animal rights, as well as the major plot of the book, which develops when the protagonist learns her own role in the ecopoetics of her chimpanzee sister Fern. The paper has investigated ecopoetics that emphasizes the move from interspecies companionship and togetherness to human superiority and instrumental asymmetry, focusing on the intricate human-animal relationships which recount an environment that causes (non-)human trauma and loss.
Impact of Worker’s Remittance on Financial Development of Nepal
Authors: Thapa Srijana , Adhikari Thapa Kalpana
Published: June 2023

This study analyzes the impact of remittance inflows on financial development of Nepal. Money supply and total bank deposits are selected as the dependent variables while remittance inflow as an increment of GDP, foreign direct investment as an increment of GDP, inflation, per capita income and exchange rate are selected as independent variables. The key sources of data include Quarterly Economic Bulletin published by Nepal Rashtrabank, Economic Survey published by Ministry of Finance and World Development Indicators of World Bank. The study is grounded on the secondary data which are collected for the period of 31 years from 1990 to 2021. The co-integration analysis has been performed to analyze the long run co-integrating relationship between remittance and financial development. It is found that there is long run co-integrating relationship between financial development and remittance inflow in Nepal.

In addition, remittance inflow has long run positive relationship with total deposits. This indicates that higher the remittance inflow, higher would be the total deposits. The findings also show that per capita income, inflation and exchange rate has positive relationship with total deposit and money supply. This indicates that increase per capita income leads to increase in total deposits and money supply in long run. Likewise, the study indicates that higher the inflation in long run, higher would be the total deposits and money supply. The result of Granger Causality shows that there is unidirectional causality from remittance to total deposits and money supply. This indicates that remittance leads to increase in total deposits and the money supply in Nepal.
Fragmented Subjects in Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections: A Critique of Globalization
Authors: Chalise Bhola Nath
Published: June 2023

This paper argues that globalization results in producing fragmented self which contradicts its original promise of bringing about happiness and coherent personality as such. In other words, the study illustrates the paradox between the integrating promises and disintegrating effects of globalization and consumer culture in post-industrial America. Analyzing Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections, this study explores the dissociation in the life of the characters and the society they represent. The notion of globalization and generation gap brought by this phenomenon, the illusion that the drugs can cure depression and anxiety, passion over the financial market correction, question over sexuality and gender roles are some areas causing disorder in the life of the characters. This research is based on the cultural criticism of theories on globalization. Globalization is a multi-disciplinary phenomenon. So, to support the cultural aspect of globalization, I have, on and off, brought classical theory of macroeconomics that supports promises of globalization, and the concept of ‘supply chain’ to explain how those promises have been shattered.

भोलि के हुन्छ ? नाट्यकृतिको नाटकीयता शीर्षकको प्रस्तुत लेखमा विजय मल्लको भोलि के हुन्छ ? नाट्यकृतिमा नाटकीय स्थितिको खोजअन्वेषण गरिएको छ । नाटककारले शब्दमा अभिव्यक्त भावसंवेदनाहरू नटनटीका अभिनय कलामा रूपायित भई नाट्यकृतिगत श्रव्यदृश्य परिणति प्राप्त गर्न सक्ने गुणवैभवको उपलब्धता नाटक हुनुको आधारभूत शर्त हुँदै हो; भित्रभित्र रुचि, प्रवृत्ति, स्वभाव, संस्कार, उमेर, अवस्था तथा मनस्थिति भएका बहुविध प्रधारका दर्शकको चपल मनलाई एउटै भावधारामा बाँधेर राख्न सक्ने, दर्शकको संवेगात्मक जीवनलाई उद्वेलित गर्न सक्ने, नाट्यावलोकन गर्न व्यग्र बनाइराख्ने र दर्शकको भावचेतनालाई परितोष प्रदान गर्न सक्ने गुणसम्पदाको उद्भावना नाटककारको रचनाकर्मले नाटकको महिमा सिद्ध गर्ने सर्वाधिक महत्त्वपूर्ण शर्त हो भत्रे मान्यताका आधारमा विजय मल्लको भोलि के हुन्छ ? नाट्यकृतिको विश्लेषण गरिएको छ । प्रस्तुत नाट्यकृतिमा आफैँ पनि अभिनय कला, रङ्गमञ्चीय परिस्थितिको तथा नाट्यप्रभावका स्थितिहरूको ज्ञान र अनुभव सँगालेका मल्लमा आफ्नो रचना रङ्गकर्मीका कलात्मक कलाकर्ममा रूपायित भई दर्शकसमक्ष प्रस्तुत हुँदाका अवसरमा दर्शकको संवेगात्मक जीवनलाई झब्कृत तुल्याउन सकोस् र नाटकको महिमा उपार्जन गरोस् भन्ने शैल्पिक चेतना प्रचुर मात्रामा परिलक्ष्यित हुन्छ । यही त्यही ज्ञान, अनुभव र चेतना उनको प्रस्तुत नाट्यकृति रचना गर्ने शिल्पसूत्र बनेको देखिन्छ र त्यो शिल्पसूत्रको प्रतिफलन नाटकीय गुणसम्पदाहरूको उद्भावनामा भएको छ । फलतः उनको प्रस्तुत नाट्यरचनाले श्रव्यदृश्यकाव्यको महिमा सिद्ध गरेको छ भत्रे यस अध्ययनको निष्कर्ष हो ।
