EXPLORING WOMEN’S ENTREPRENEURIAL BEHAVIOR FROM THE PERSONAL ASPECT
Authors: Kempa Sesilya
Published: August 2024

This study explores women's entrepreneurial behavior regarding passion, self-efficacy, and entrepreneurship opportunities. This study uses the Partial Least Square analysis tool to examine the three linkages to women entrepreneurs running their businesses for at least one year. The output of this research found that passion has a direct and significant effect on entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. Furthermore, women entrepreneurs' passion and awareness of business opportunities directly influence their entrepreneurial behavior. However, entrepreneurial self-efficacy does not influence the behavior of women entrepreneurs, which makes entrepreneurial self-efficacy incapable of being a mediator. On the other hand, entrepreneurial opportunity recognition is proven to mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial behavior. This research contributes to business development efforts for women entrepreneurs

Authors: Yuliawan Eko , Wahyu Widayat Eko , Aziz Winardi Muhammad
Published: August 2024

This study analyzes the factors influencing purchase intent and repurchase in social commerce. The main goal is to understand the contribution of variables such as ease of use, performance expectations, social Influence, and risk perception to consumer behaviors. The number of research samples was 120 respondents. The analysis method used is a partial least squares structural equation respondent, which allows researchers to measure and validate constructs and explain relationships between variables. The results showed that initial purchase intention significantly positively impacted repeat purchase intent, contributing to 55.8%. The variables of ease of use and performance expectations also influenced purchase intent significantly. While social Influence is insignificant, risk perception is a mediator that reinforces the relationship between initial and repeat purchase intent. The implications of these findings include practical advice for companies in designing marketing strategies, product development, and customer management. The marketing strategy should be focused on communicating ease of use and product performance expectations. Companies must also understand and manage consumer risk perceptions to build trust and increase repeat purchase intent. These implications guide practitioners and researchers in understanding the dynamics of consumer behaviors in a broader context.

Komunistička partija Jugoslavije i crnogorsko pitanje do 1945. godine: tradicija, ideologija, politika
Authors: Antić Dejan , Miletić Aleksandar V.
Published: August 2024

Between the two world wars, the national question was at the very core of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia’s politics. Thus, among other things, the Yugoslav communists paid special attention to the Montenegrin issue, which remained unresolved after the creation of the Yugoslav state. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the KPJ’s attitude toward the Montenegrin na­tional and state question in the context of the communist attitude towards the historical traditions of the Serbian nation in Montene­gro and Montenegrin statehood, as well as the influence of com­munist ideological conceptions and current political developments on that issue until 1945.
Finansiranje razvoja Beograda putem opštinskih zajmova od 1929. do 1941. godine
Authors: Gašić Ranka
Published: August 2024

The article focuses on Belgrade municipal borrowing during the Great Depression and its aftermath, up until the start of the Second World War in Yugoslavia in 1941. The loan terms, the distribution of municipal spending, and developments in the Belgrade Municipality’s loan financing during the 1930s are also analyzed. From 1929 to 1941, the Belgrade Municipality received30 loans, all obtained from the local banking institutions. During the Great Depression, all Belgrade municipal loans were short- and midterm, whereas following the Depression, they evolved into long-term. Throughout the 1930s, there was a rising trend of investment in infrastructure, cultural and social institutions, kindergartens and schools, and social housing. In contrast, there was a reverse trend in purchasing municipal properties.

Uklanjanje reči „Metohija“ iz naziva Autonomne pokrajine Kosova i Metohije 1968–1969. godine
Authors: Vukadinović Igor
Published: August 2024

This research attempts to shed light on the removal of the word “Metohija” from the name of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija in 1968–1969, as well as the circumstanc­es under which this change has been implemented. The research draws upon the unpublished archival documents from the Ar­chives of Yugoslavia, State Archives of Serbia and Central state ar­chives of Albania. Deputies of the Federal Assembly of Yugoslavia and the Assembly of Serbia removed the term “Metohija” from the name of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija dur­ing assembly sessions in 1968 and 1969. The initiative was started by ethnic Albanian communist party officials from the Provincial committee of the League of Communist of Serbia for Kosovo and Metohija. The main reason for this step of the communist regime was that the word “Metohija” was witnessing about the Orthodox and Serbian presence in the history of that area.
Computational Strategic Communication in a Data-Driven World

Published: August 2024

We proposed and curated this special section, titled “Computational Strategic Communication Research in a Data-Driven World,” to establish a stronger connection between two terms—computational and strategic—in communication research. We believe CSS to be particularly useful for gaining a more detailed understanding of strategic communication processes and their effects on stakeholders, publics, organizations, and societies. CSS, as an emerging research paradigm, can bring out much-needed and long-overdue changes within strategic communication research, including but not limited to the shift of focus to behavioral and societal outcomes, the commitment to open science principles, and the inspirational pursuit of large-scale high-investment studies.
Mainstream party adaptation and support for democracy
Authors: Ngai Edward
Published: August 2024

Mainstream parties adapting to the economic and social changes of the neoliberal era often do so by shifting their policy positions away from their traditional brand identities. This paper argues that policy adaptation without attendant changes in party mobilizational strategies are bad for democracy’s public legitimacy. Using country-year panels of governing and main opposition parties in 114 democracies between 1989 and 2019 and two-way fixed-effects estimators, this paper finds populist and left-wing welfare policy shifts are associated with higher levels of support for democracy only when parties make these issues salient in their party mobilization strategies. Mainstream parties that adopt the same policy shifts without making them salient in campaigns and mobilization preside over regimes with lower levels of support for democracy.
Broadening the Lens: A Review of Multi-Object Tracking Task and its Use in Cognitive Training
Authors: Marion Pech , Adolphe Maxime , Oudeyer Pierre-Yves , Sauzéon Hélène
Published: August 2024

The Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) task, known for its dynamic nature and reliance onattentional control, is central to computerized cognitive training (CT). Despite itspopularity, the cognitive mechanisms underlying this attention-based CT and its outcomes,including near transfers (improvements in tasks similar to the training) and far transfers(improvements in tasks that are not directly trained) are not well-defined in the literature.To address this gap, we conducted a review focuses on adjustable parameters (i.e., thenumber, speed, tracking duration, and perceptual characteristics of targets) to provide newinsights into MOT-based CT for neurodiverse populations. We have three primary aims:(1) Identify the cognitive processes influenced by each adjustable parameter of the MOTtask; (2) Determine which parameters, when progressively modified during repeated MOTpractice, yield the most significant improvements in MOT performance; and (3) Assesswhich improvements in MOT performance lead to the most effective transfer effects,including real-world outcomes. Our analysis of the literature highlight that the MOT taskengages a complex interplay of visual processing, attentional resources, and workingmemory, shaped by both the intrinsic properties of the tracked objects and the taskconditions. Various methods assess performance in MOT training, with speed mostfrequently used for evaluating near transfer effects like attention, visual processing, andshort-term memory. Conversely, studies on far transfer effects often use a broaderapproach, involving neuropsychological tasks targeting working memory and executivefunctions. In real-world settings, MOT practice improves complex tasks, such as dual tasksinvolving body-cognition coordination in sports or driving. Some results suggest thatincorporating MOT training within cognitive enhancement programs for aging andpathological contexts holds significant promise.
Forgiveness Reconsidered: Agency and the Contextual Nature of Forgiveness in the Aftermath of Clergy Sex Abuse
Authors: de Vries Wilco , Rutledge Jonathan , Sierksma Allard , Jackson-Meyer Katherine , Jonker J. Schaap - , Cowden Richard
Published: August 2024

An abundance of empirical evidence supports rich insights from the humanities about the benefits of interpersonal forgiveness to human flourishing. However, research into the ‘darker’ side of forgiveness indicates contextual conditions under which forgiveness is misappropriated and used to harm and silence people. This chapter analyzes the relationship between agency and forgiveness in the aftermath of clergy sex abuse. We develop a complex account of forgiveness that outlines when and how forgiveness either contributes to the flourishing of victim-survivors of clergy sex abuse or misfires and gives way to harm. To unpack the link between agency and forgiveness among victims of clergy sexual abuse, we use a six-layered framework: transgression-specific, individual, interpersonal, social, institutional, and societal. Drawing on empirical studies and a case study of clergy sex abuse, we specify how these layers impact the agency of the victim-survivor and their processing and discernment of forgiveness, accountability, and justice. We discuss some implications of our model for addressing forgiveness, accountability, and justice in the context of therapy and pastoral care. We also provide suggestions for institutions to do justice to victim-survivors on an institutional level, including a proposal for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We conclude by suggesting further research to test the validity, applicability, and effectiveness of the model developed in this chapter.

Simultaneous deformation along the Main Ethiopian Rift and associated transversal lineaments: an analogue modelling perspective
Authors: Zwaan Frank , Muluneh Ameha , Liu Jun , Kosari Ehsan , Rosenau Matthias , Corti Giacomo , Sani Federico
Published: August 2024

The interaction between the NE-SW striking Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) and the E-W oriented Yerrer-Tullu Wellel Volcano-tectonic lineament (YTVL) represents one of the least understood tectonic problems in the East African Rift System. Despite the numerous studies that have been conducted in the region, the following questions still remain to be answered: did the MER and YTVL evolve simultaneously? Was there a stress reorientation to allow a diachronous evolution of the rift and the lineament? How does the E-W oriented YTVL remain active under an E-W oriented stress field? Previous studies propose a two-phase tectonic evolution, involving a stress reorientation at around 6 Ma causing deformation to focus in the MER. However, this interpretation contradicts plate-tectonic reconstruction data suggesting a constant plate divergence direction since ca. 16 Ma. We use analogue models to study how deformation may occur along the YTVL. We find that the activation of lineaments oriented (near-)parallel to the plate divergence direction is in fact possible, if (1) the weakness sufficiently reduced the strength of the crust and (2) the main rift trend is sufficiently oblique to the plate divergence direction. As such, no multiphase scenario is required to explain the development of the YTVL, and a single-phase scenario that is in line with plate tectonic reconstructions can be adopted instead. Moreover, our model results suggest that also other lineaments associated with the MER could be active in the current tectonic regime. These insights may be of relevance to the interpretation of similar structures in rift systems around the world as well.
Towards a widely applicable earthquake detection algorithm for fibreoptic and hybrid fibreoptic-seismometer networks
Authors: Hudson Thomas , Klaasen Sara , Fontaine Olivier , Bacon Conor , Jonsdottir Kristin , Fichtner Andreas
Published: August 2024

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a promising technology for providing dense (metre-scale) sampling of the seismic wavefield. However, harnessing this potential for earthquake detection with accurate phase picking and associated localisation remains challenging. Single-channel algorithms are limited by individual channel noise, while machine learning and semblance methods are typically limited to specific geological settings, have no physically-constrained phase association and/or require specific fibre geometries. Here, we present a method that seeks to detect seismicity for any geological setting, applicable for any fibre geometry, and combining both fibreoptic and conventional seismometer data to maximise the information used for detection and source localisation. This method adapts a proven back-migration detection method to also include DAS observations, propagating energy from many receivers back in time to search for localised peaks in energy, corresponding to seismic sources. The strengths of this method are capitalising on coherency over many channels to enhance detection sensitivity even in high-noise environments compared to single-channel algorithms, applicability to arbitrary fibre geometries, as well as built-in, physics-informed phase association and source localisation. We explore the performance of the method using three geologically and geometrically diverse settings: a glacier, a volcanic eruption and a geothermal borehole. Our results evidence the effect of spatial-sampling extent and non-optimal fibreoptic geometries, accounting for P and S wave sensitivity, coupling effects, and how the sensitivity of native fibreoptic strain measurements to shallow subsurface heterogeneities can affect detection. Finally, we attempt to also present a method-ambivalent overview of key challenges facing fibreoptic earthquake detection and possible avenues of future work to address them.
“With the system as it is, I honestly don't know there's anything available that would help me”: COVID-19 experiences for autistic and non-autistic adults with pre-existing mental health concerns.
Authors: Ball Robyn Christine , Morris Eric M. J. , Richdale Amanda , Lawson Lauren
Published: August 2024

Objective: Widespread mental health impacts occurred early in the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for those with pre-existing mental health conditions. Less is known about how these groups fared in later phases and post- pandemic. We compared late-pandemic mental health impacts on adults with pre-existing mental ill-health and other vulnerabilities to enable better service planning for future crises.Design and methods: This mixed-method study surveyed 532 adults online, in 2021-2022. All participants self-reported pre-existing mental ill-heath and either formal autism diagnosis (181), self-identification of autism (167), or were non-autistic (184). Self-ratings of mental health, need for mental healthcare and ease of access to mental healthcare during COVID were compared across autism groups and other demographics. Responses to an open question were analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis.Results: Most participants reported poor mental health, high needs for mental healthcare and great difficulty obtaining appropriate care during the pandemic. Significant differences were found for age, neurotype and education level: younger participants reported worse mental health; younger people and those with neurodivergent conditions other than autism (NDCs) reported greater need for mental healthcare; and participants with NDCs or lower education levels reported greater difficulty obtaining care. Thematic analysis identified four themes/sub-themes: “Greater mental health needs for most”; “Exceptions to the rule: improvements in mental health for some (mainly autistic people)”; “Navigating access to a scarce resource”; and “Telehealth: an enabler for some, a barrier for others”. Conclusions: Having a pre-existing mental health condition rather than autism status was more important in determining pandemic impacts.
Cruise Ships in International Law: Towards a Theory of Legal Infrastructure
Authors: Gammeltoft-Hansen Thomas , Mann Itamar
Published: August 2024

The notion of infrastructure has recently featured prominently in international legal scholarship. The ambition behind the turn to infrastructure in international legal theory is comparable to other large attempts to conceptualize the discipline. Yet, against the backdrop of work in the humanities and social sciences, theoretical engagement with infrastructure is still nascent in the legal discipline. In this Article, we build on another recent development in international legal scholarship–the turn to “materiality”–to articulate a systematic theory of infrastructure in international law. At the center of our study is the case study of the cruise ship. Studying cruise ships and their legal and political environment in detail, we introduce three conceptual building blocks through which we develop a more comprehensive theory of infrastructure: Platform, object and rupture. While we focus on cruise ships, the theory of legal infrastructure that we offer is applicable to a wide array of industries and issues.
The Age of AI Nationalism and Its Effects
Authors: Aaronson Susan
Published: August 2024

We live in a time when many nations have deemed artificial intelligence (AI) an economic and national security imperative. has become a priority for many nations. Instead of working collaboratively to develop AI, many countries have adopted AI industrial policies. Policymakers are working to nurture sovereign AI. However, with and without deliberate intent, some nations are acting in ways that —-- with or without direct intent —-- discriminate among foreign market actors. For example, many countries forbid the sale of the latest high-speed chips to China. The US has banned venture capital investments in Chinese Chile and Canada, among other nations provide significant incentives for skilled immigrants to move to, work in and or invest in their AI sectors. Some countries such as China and Russia require foreign suppliers of data driven technologies to reveal their source code –which is often proprietary information.Herein the author makes a distinction between policies designed to advance domestic AI and policies that with or without direct intent Herein, the author describes hamper the production or trade of foreign produced AI or such policies as “AI nationalism.” AI nationalist policies in one country can make it harder for firms in another country to develop AI. If officials can limit access to key components of the AI supply chain such as data, capital, expertise, or computing power, they may be able to limit limit the AI prowess of its competitors in country Y and/or Z. Moreover, if policy makers can shape regulations in ways that benefit local AI competitors, they may also impede the competitiveness of other nation’s’ AI developers. AI nationalism may seem appropriate given the import of AI, but this paper aims to illuminate how AI nationalistic policies may backfire. This paper proceeds as follows. First, the author describes key terms. Next, the author provides background into the roots of AI nationalism. The report paper then follows with examples of national policies designed to promote AI in the AI supply chain that appear to have trade- distorting effects. The author first discusses what scholarly literature teaches us about the potential spillovers of such policies, and then moves towards what the findings may tell readers about these spillovers. Finally, the author makes some conclusions.
The sociocultural roots of artificial conversations: the taste, class and habitus of generative AI chatbots
Authors: Rama Ilir , Airoldi Massimo
Published: August 2024

Research on AI has extensively considered biases related to gender and race. However, much less attention has been dedicated to another sociological tenet: that of class. Inspired by Bourdieu’s work on cultural stratification and distinction, this work sheds light on the sociocultural roots of artificial sociality, and on how these become manifest as “habitus” within the outputs of generative AI models. We conducted 39 interviews with three AI chatbots – ChatGPT, Gemini, and Replika – after asking them to impersonate individuals with different occupational positions: highly skilled professionals, blue-collar workers, university professors in the humanities, construction workers, computer scientists and hairdressers. Our qualitative study shows class-based regularities in how popular AI chatbots represent the lifestyle and tastes of fictional personas in artificial conversations, partly mediated by infrastructural and design elements. The paper proposes a sociological perspective on bias in artificial sociality, and experiments with interview methods in the study of generative AI.

Agronomic measurements like proper planting geometry and fertilizer application increase physiological characteristics and ultimately the grain yield of maize. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications consisting of four levels of nitrogen (0, 70, 140 and 210 kg/ha-1) as the main plot factor, and four levels of the population (55,555, 69,444, 85,470 and 1,01,010 plants ha-1) as subplot factor in the humid sub-tropical condition of Chitwan, Nepal. Different levels of nitrogen and plant population did not significantly affect the number of days to emergence (VE), appearance of knee high (V6), milking and daugh stage of hybrid maize. However, the timing of tasseling and silking in winter maize hybrid crops was notably influenced by plant population levels. Higher level of nitrogen 210kgNha-1 significantly delayed physiological maturity as compared to the control. The height of plants recorded at harvest with the application of 210 kgNha-1 and 140 kgNha-1 were similar to each other, but significantly taller than the control at 30 to 90DAS of hybrid maize. Similarly, Plant height remained largely unaffected by varying plant populations during most growth stages, except at the pre-milking stage (90DAS), where a higher density of 101 thousand plants ha-1 (192.5cm) significantly increased height compared to 55 (163.0 cm) and 69 (165.0cm) thousand plants ha-1. The values of the total dry matter accumulated in maize plants with 70,140 & 210kgNha-1 at 75, 120 & 150 DAS were significantly higher in comparison to the control. Similarly, the total dry matter accumulated in maize plants were significantly higher with 101 thousand plants ha-1 in comparison to 69 and 55 thousand plants ha-1, but remained at par with 85 thousand plants ha-1 at silking (75DAS) and physiological maturity (150DAS) stages. the values of LAI obtained with the application of 140kgNha-1 were significantly higher as compared to 210, 70 and 0 kgNha-1 which remained at par with 210 and 70kgNha-1 except in 45 (after the knee-high stage) &60 (before tasselling stage) DAS and 90 (after silking stage) & 105 (before milking stage) DAS, respectively. Contrastingly, plant population levels did not significantly impact leafarea index in this experiment, except at 60DAS.
