Published: November 2024

Krisis identitas merupakan salah satu permasalahan yang banyak dihadapi remaja saat ini, hal ini menjadi salah satu penyebab mereka banyak melakukan perilaku menyimpang. Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh mitra pengabdian, yaitu terletak pada minimnya pengetahuan terkait dengan sulitnya siswa/siswi dalam pengembangan diri untuk menjadi lebih baik, lebih matang dan lebih mantap. Sementara hal tersebut perlu upaya dalam pengembangan kepribadian. Mengenal diri sendiri berarti memperoleh pengetahuan tentang totalitas diri yang tepat, yaitu menyadari kelebihan/keunggulan yang dimiliki maupun kekurangan/kelemahan yang ada pada diri sendiri. Dengan mengenal diri sendiri secara tepat akan diketahui konsep diri yang tepat pula, dengan berupaya mengembangkan yang positif dan mengatasi/menghilangkan yang negatif. Tujuan  kegiatan pengabdian  ini  memberikan  pengetahuan  kepada siswa/siswi mengenai self concept dalam upaya membangun potensi dan meningkatkan percaya diri. Adapun metode yang dilakukan dalam  kegiataan pengabdian ini adalah  melalui  sosialisasi dan tanya jawab,  permainan identitas diri dan  yang terakhir tahap evaluasi. Hasilnya siswa/siswi cukup antusias dengan memberikan feed back dalam sharing session serta adanya peningkatan pemahaman siswa/siswi mengenai pentingnya pembentukan konsep diri demi menggali potensi dan meningkatkan kepercayaan diri.

Published: November 2024

Kampung Pekijing merupakan Kampung Literasi, terletak di Desa Kalanganyar, Kecamatan Taktakan, Kota Serang memiliki perpustakaan desa yang dahulu kondisinya optimal namun sekarang menjadi berkurang. Sarana dan prasarana yang tidak memadai menjadi salah satu penyebab berkurangnya pengunjung ke perpustakaan desa. Walaupun sudah terdapat rak-rak buku di depan setiap rumah, namun masih terdapat kesadaran literasi yang rendah. Minimnya kesadaran literasi ini dapat menghambat minat mereka untuk menggunakan perpustakaan desa sebagai sumber pembelajaran dan pengetahuan. Kurangnya bahan bacaan di Perpustakaan desa dan koleksi bahan bacaan yang kurang menarik dapat mengurangi minat mereka untuk menggunakan fasilitas tersebut. Hal ini berakibat pada rendahnya minat baca masyarakat. Hal tersebutlah yang melatarbelakangi kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan minat baca masyarakat melalui revitalisasi perpustakaan desa.  Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah metode partisipatif yang melibatkan masyarakat dalam setiap tahapan kegiatan, meliputi pembenahan fisik perpustakaan desa, pengadaan koleksi buku baru dan rotasi buku, serta sosialisasi program literasi kepada masyarakat berupa bincang literasi yang menghadirkan Penggiat Literasi di Kota Serang. Hasil dari kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa minat baca masyarakat Kampung Pekijing Desa Kalanganyar Kecamatan Taktakan Kota Serang mengalami peningkatan. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan bertambahnya jumlah pengunjung perpustakaan desa, meningkatnya jumlah peminjaman buku, dan meningkatnya partisipasi masyarakat dalam kegiatan literasi.

Answering Sraffa on Religion: Wittgenstein Walking the Tightrope
Authors: Engelmann Mauro
Published: November 2024

The subject of religion, one might think, although discussed in the Tractatus, is conspicuously absent from or in Wittgenstein’s later works, particularly in the Philosophical Investigations. Using Sraffa’s comments as a starting point, I tentatively deal with the absence of the subject by considering the question whether Wittgenstein’s religious views are compatible with his philosophies in the Tractatus and in the Philosophical Investigations. Answering this question involves examining Wittgenstein’s own central concern about his convictions in his later years, namely, to what extent one can honestly be a religious thinker nowadays. Presumably, his philosophy might not allow a “philosophy of religion”, if his own views on religion are not compatible with his philosophy. I tackle these issues beginning with Wittgenstein’s conversations with Ludwig Hänsel, then move to his later views and relevant passages in the Philosophical Investigations. With this in place, I uncover a religious moment that is not completely apparent in his later book, namely, an admission of errors that is a sort of confession.
Understanding Others, Conceptual Know-How and Social World
Authors: Clot-Goudard Rémi
Published: November 2024

In contemporary philosophy of mind, understanding others is often presented as an activity of attributing mental states to agents or mindreading – the central question being then how to access their minds. The paper argues that this pervasive approach should be rejected, in favour of the view along which identifying an action comes from exercising conceptual skills acquired through being inserted into shared practices characterizing a social world. Examining the conditions of their acquisition then sheds new light on the semantics of psychological concepts as well as on the roots of misunderstanding.
Wittgenstein’s Methodology of Gestalt Psychology
Authors: Ter Hark Michel
Published: November 2024

This article proposes a methodological understanding of Wittgenstein’s remarks about Gestaltpsychology. Wittgenstein is not so much concerned with Gestaltpsychology proper but rather with its understanding of the nature of the problem of seeing (and seeing-as) as dealt with by British empiricism. Gestaltpsychology offers a more sophisticated physiological explanation of seeing and seeing-as than empiricism has done, yet also this explanation bypasses the (conceptual) problem. Physiological explanations are not eschewed by Wittgenstein, he even gives himself interesting physiological hypotheses. The problem with physiological explanations is that they focus on particular items in the brain as underpinning our use of concepts like seeing and seeing as, whereas they are constituted by our reactions and responses to what we see. Such reactions are embedded in language games and acquire their meaning by our ‘forms of life’ rather than the human brain. This interpretation is finally applied to Wittgenstein’s and Köhler’s explanation of social understanding
Pedagogia como ciência da Educação e seus desafios na contemporaneidade
Authors: Amorim Nogueira Helante , Clementino Gonçalves Marli , Souza Sobral Gésica Mayara
Published: November 2024

A indagação que originou este trabalho teve como base os conceitos e as percepções acerca da Pedagogia como ciência e enquanto campo profissional. Consideramos que a Pedagogia como ciência é uma construtora e reformuladora do conhecimento através da pesquisa e da prática que se dá por intermédio de sua interação com o meio no qual está inserida. Este trabalho tem como objetivos:  analisar a Pedagogia enquanto ciência na contemporaneidade; refletir sobre os desafios da Pedagogia como campo profissional; e discutir a Pedagogia e seu uso na prática pedagógica e na docência. Teoricamente, nos embasamos nos autores:  Pimenta (2011), Franco (2008), Libâneo (2010), Tardif e Lessard (2008), Silva e Ferreira (2021). O trabalho exposto ancora-se no debate epistemológico sobre a Pedagogia como ciência sendo seu objeto de estudo a educação. Constitui uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo de procedimento bibliográfico. A Pedagogia passou por transformações ao longo dos anos o que, muitas vezes, contribuiu para que sua natureza científica fosse questionada, razão pela qual dispõe de vasta literatura que define seu conceito historicamente. Muitas críticas que recaem sobre a Pedagogia surgem a partir do questionamento sobre seu objeto de estudo, que delimitamos como educação. Neste âmbito, precisamos nos atentar para outras análises, a fim de compreendermos todo o processo que a Pedagogia tem sofrido e que vem contribuindo para sua (des)valorização.
Seeking the optimal SPOC-based blended learning approach to enhance deep learning from the community of inquiry perspective
Authors: Huang Rongrong , Annamalai Nagaletchimee
Published: November 2024

To equip students with 21st century skills to be competent global citizens and succeed academically and professionally, information and communication technology tools are being utilized to facilitate deep learning in higher education. This study integrated a small private online course (SPOC) with face-to-face (F2F) classroom learning to design and implement a blended English as a foreign language (EFL) course for deep learning. A mixed-method design was employed to investigate the learning experiences and perceptions of EFL students in the SPOC-based blended learning (BL) environment. The primary objective was to examine whether and how the teaching, social and cognitive presences were established from the perspective of the community of inquiry (CoI) model. Participants were 60 students enrolled in an eight-week English communicative course in a Chinese college. Quantitative data was obtained from the CoI and BL surveys, while qualitative data was gathered through individual interviews with 10 students. The results showed that a CoI was established, and deep learning happened in both SPOC and F2F learning areas with a more salient teaching presence in the SPOC area, a stronger social presence and a higher frequency of resolution phase reached in the F2F area. Furthermore, learners expressed satisfaction with the BL course, perceiving it as effective for English language acquisition. Pedagogical implications were offered to assist educators and institutions in optimizing the use of SPOC-based BL to enhance deep learning.

Published: November 2024

The possibility of using oat plants (Avena sativa L.) and white lupine (Lupinus albus L.) as phytoremediants of soils contaminated with oil and/or herbicides Tapir (imidazolinone class) and Spetsnaz 750 (sulfonylurea class). Tapir turned out to be more toxic to plants of both species than oil or Spetsnaz 750. The presence of Tapir in the soil in the amount of 20.0 µl/kg led to a decrease in the length of plant roots by 42.4-71.9%, shoots – by 28.9-71.9%. It was shown that oil (2% by weight) leveled the stress effect of herbicides on soil microbiota and plants. After 21 days of the experiment, soil toxicity decreased most significantly when growing plants on soil with oil and oil with Spetsnaz 750. In soil contaminated with Tapir, phytotoxicity remained at the same level when using both plants.
Possible Asteroid Sources of the Wow! Signal

I used the JPL/NASA "Small Body Identification Tool" and the Minor Planet Center "MPChecker" to find out which asteroids were in the fields of view of the Ohio State University Radio Observatory (the "Big Ear") at the time of the famous "Wow! Signal" of August 15, 1977, after I noticed no one has checked asteroids in decades. As of September 1, 2024, I had found 11 asteroids in the fields of view. I recommend someone with access to a large radio telescope have a look at those asteroids, for the sake of thoroughness, in the search for the source of the Wow! Signal, as part of the larger search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Man the Hunter Nearing Sixty: An Interview with Richard B. Lee
Authors: Venkataraman Vivek Vasi
Published: November 2024

Man the Hunter was a Wenner-Gren funded conference held at the University of Chicago in April 1966. Widely credited with initiating the field of modern hunter-gatherer studies, the conference led to a watershed publication—also called Man the Hunter—edited by Richard B. Lee and Irven DeVore. This volume has since been the focus of celebration and controversy. As the 60th anniversary of the conference approaches, anthropologist Vivek V. Venkataraman (VVV) spoke with Richard B. Lee (RBL) about the legacy of Man the Hunter. A series of interviews were conducted between May and September 2024. The following is a transcript of those conversations that has been condensed and edited for ease of reading.
Downward Continuation of Wide-Angle Seismic data: implications for traveltime tomography uncertainty
Authors: Tejero Clara Estela , Prada Dacasa Manel , Gomez de la Peña Laura , Ranero Cesar , Sallares Valenti
Published: November 2024

Controlled-source marine seismic experiments are key in advancing our understanding of the Earth’s subsurface structure to study tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and fluid flow processes. Joint acquisition of Wide-Angle Seismic (WAS) and Multi-Channel Seismic (MCS) streamer data stands as the most robust approach for marine exploration, however effectively mapping subsurface structure remains challenging. The lack of identifiable refractions as first arrivals at short offsets inWAS data leads to illumination gaps of the upper 2-4 km of the subsurface structure at 8-12 km offsets around Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS). This inadequate ray coverage at the shallow subsurface limits the performance of Travel Time Tomography (TTT) techniques and affects velocity determination in the sedimentary layer and reflector location, propagating errors to deeper layers. This study integrates Downward Continuation (DC) to WAS data. Similarly to DC applied to MCS data, redatuming WAS data involves using the acoustic wave equation backward in time. This process virtually repositions the sources to the seafloor, revealing previously masked near-seafloor refractions as first arrivals. This transformation significantly enhances ray coverage in the shallow subsurface, leading to more accurate determinations of both seismic velocity and reflector geometry. By bridging theoretical concepts with a real data application, this study demonstrates the optimization of field seismic data for improved TTT results. This methodology is particularly beneficial for deep water exploration where spatially coincident WAS and MCS are jointly inverted. In such scenarios, DC-processed WAS data provides the refracted phases key for velocity determinations, and that are typically not present in MCS data due to insufficient streamer length relative to the water column depth. Additionally, we contribute to the community by releasing our open-source, High-Performance Computing (HPC) software for WAS data redatuming.
Path Tracking Control of Intelligent Vehicle Based on Learning Model Predictive Control
Authors: Hongmao Qin
Published: November 2024

Path tracking control is a key technology for intelligent vehicles. However, the existing vehicle tracking control methods mostly rely on more accurate vehicle control models, while actual vehicle control systems mostly have modeling errors, parameter perturbations and external disturbances, which significantly affect path tracking control accuracy. In this paper, a learning path tracking control method for intelligent vehicles considering unmodeled dynamics of vehicles is proposed. Firstly, a nominal model of the vehicle is established and a linear prediction model is used to approximate the compensation for the unmodeled dynamics of the vehicle to improve the accuracy of the vehicle model. Then, learning and updating of the parameters of the unmodeled dynamics are realized based on the principle of Extended Kalman Filtering. Next, learning Model Predictive Controller (LMPC) considering the unmodeled dynamics of the system is established. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving the path tracking accuracy is verified by designing a joint simulation test with Carsim and Matlab/Simulink for multiple operating conditions and multiple groups.
A Proof-of-Principle Demonstration: Exploring the Effect of Anode Layer Microstructure on the Alkaline Oxygen Evolution Reaction

This study explores the effect of Ni-Co-O anode layer microstructure on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Four anodes with similar Ni-Co-O loadings and chemical characteristics but distinct morphologies are fabricated by ultrasonic spraying catalyst inks of varying solvent composition (pure water vs a water-ethanol mixture) and drying temperatures (50 °C and 150 °C) on Ni plates. Upon varying solvent composition, particles in the water-based ink exhibited lower stability than particles in the water-ethanol-based ink, boosting the particle connectivity in the layers. This particle connectivity correlated with the mechanical strength of the layers, resulting in reduced contact resistance and enhanced activity. Our second observation is that at 50 °C, the surface morphology exhibited hill-like islands with higher roughness, while at 150 °C, concave hemispherical shapes with lower roughness were observed. From 2D-distribution data, we found that surface roughness correlated with the wettability with electrolyte. Roughness increased the lyophobicity and enhanced the activity through more accessible active sites and efficient bubble transport. Taken together, this work highlights how microstructure affects macroscopic layer properties, and how these in turn can enhance or diminish the performance of the OER compared to bare nickel, offering insights into the knowledge-based design of anode layers.
Computerised Assessment of Motor Imitation (CAMI) Identifies Autism-Specific Difficulties Not Observed in ADHD or Neurotypical Development

Published: November 2024

Background: Reliable and specific biomarkers that can distinguish Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) from commonly co-occurring Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are lacking, causing misses and delays in diagnosis, and reducing access to interventions and quality of life. Aims: To examine whether an innovative, brief (one-minute), videogame method called Computerised Assessment of Motor Imitation (CAMI) can identify ASD-specific imitation differences compared to neurotypical and ADHD children. Method: This cross-sectional study used CAMI alongside standardised parent-report (SRS-2) and observational measures of autism (ADOS-2), ADHD (Conners), and motor ability (PANESS). Sample included a total of 183 children aged 7-13 years who had ADHD (without ASD), had ASD (with ADHD: ASD+ADHD, and without ADHD: ASD-only), and were neurotypical. Results: Regardless of co-occurring ADHD, ASD children showed poorer CAMI performance than neurotypical children (p<.0001, Adjusted R2=.28), whereas ADHD and neurotypical children showed similar CAMI performance. Receiver Operating Curve and Support Vector Machine analyses showed that CAMI distinguishes ASD from both NT (80% true positive rate) and ADHD children (70% true positive rate) with a high success rate significantly above chance. Among autistic children, poor CAMI performance was associated with increased autism traits, particularly ADOS measures of social affect and restricted and repetitive behaviours (Adjusted R2=.23), but not with ADHD traits or motor ability. Conclusions: Four levels of analyses – diagnostic group comparisons, dimensional associations, and classification metrics based on Receiver Operating Curve and Support Vector Machine – confirm that poor imitation measured by the low-cost and scalable CAMI method specifically distinguishes ASD not only from neurotypical development but also from commonly co-occurring ADHD.

The need for mental health services in Sub-Saharan Africa far exceeds the availability of support, creating long waitlists for the few services that are in place. To address this crisis, implementing evidence-based, single-session interventions for individuals seeking treatment may provide timely relief. StrongMinds—a mental health charity organization serving youth and adults in Uganda—piloted a Single-Session Consultation (SSC) service for new treatment-seekers with elevated depression symptoms. To optimize its reach and fit with StrongMinds’ service delivery model, the SSC was delivered by trained lay providers in both individual and group-based formats. Within two months (September-October 2023), the SSC was delivered to 200 Ugandan adults with elevated depression symptoms (ages 16-86; 73% female) upon initial outreach for StrongMinds’ group psychotherapy services. SSC clients reported significant improvements in hopelessness and depression symptoms at 2-week (ds = -0.73, -1.12) and 1-month follow-ups (ds = -0.96, -1.44), while waiting for group psychotherapy. SSC clients reported high SSCsatisfaction (M = 4.47/5), and intervention effects did not significantly differ by delivery format (i.e., individual vs. group format). Results suggest the SSC’s acceptability, feasibility, and utility as a low-intensity, scalable intervention for adolescents and adults in Uganda on waiting lists for longer-term psychotherapy.
Variability in cortisol awakening response related to sleep efficiency and its relationship with trait anxiety and psychological resilience
Authors: Yang Zijian
Published: November 2024

The relationship between the cortisol awakening response (CAR) and individual mental health remains debated. To address this, the present study introduces CAR variability across multiple days as a novel indicator, aiming to resolve inconsistencies in prior findings often caused by situational factors affecting the traditional mean CAR measure. We investigate the association between CAR variability and both trait anxiety and psychological resilience. In Experiment 1, we reduced CAR variability by minimizing sleep efficiency variation under natural sleep conditions, finding a significant positive correlation between CAR variability and trait anxiety scores. This suggests that lower CAR variability in stable conditions correlates with lower trait anxiety. In Experiment 2, CAR variability was increased through total sleep deprivation, revealing a significant positive correlation between CAR variability and psychological resilience. This indicates that greater CAR variability in dynamic conditions corresponds with higher psychological resilience. In contrast, CAR mean levels across both experiments showed no significant associations with either trait anxiety or psychological resilience. These findings suggest that, beyond mean CAR levels, CAR variability may serve as a more effective physiological indicator of mental health. Considering CAR variability across multiple days is crucial for understanding how individuals adapt to daily life stressors and challenges, providing new perspectives and potential avenues for promoting mental health and developing effective intervention strategies.
SOCIAL INTERACTION AND EMPOWERMENT FOR OLDER ADULTS: BETWEEN “NO NEED” AND “NO TIME”?
Authors: Silva Susana , Folia Vasiliki
Published: November 2024

Having control over one’s life and an active role in society, or seeing oneself as a valuable community member, are examples of what it means to be empowered. Social interaction is, thus, both an antecedent and a consequence of empowerment. In Western societies, an emerging awareness that aging has become associated with a loss of empowerment has motivated efforts to better address this necessity in older adults. In this context, we created an innovative cognitive stimulation tool, where exercises are created by the users themselves as an alternative form of stimulation. After a period of intense dissemination in geriatric institutions, we encountered lower-than-expected levels of engagement. To understand whether this could be due to lack of material and human resources and/or lack of awareness regarding empowerment needs, we carried out semi-structured interviews with older adults and coordinating technicians in institutions. We found evidence that supported both a scenario of scarce institutional resources (“no time”) and a lack of awareness of empowerment needs, especially among older adults (“no need”). We discuss potential ways to help change this scenario.

This study examined the role of sleep in the consolidation and generalization of fear learning. 31 healthy, young adult participants (16 in the wake group and 15 in the sleep group) underwent a fear acquisition procedure in which a geometrical figure imposed on a background image was repeatedly presented and paired with a mild electric shock, making it a conditioned stimulus (a CS+). Another geometrical figure imposed on another background image was also repeatedly presented but never paired with the shock, making it a safety stimulus (a CS-). After a ~three-hour delay interval containing either a two-hour nap opportunity or an equivalent amount of time spent awake, participants performed a fear memory and generalization test. Here, participants viewed four different stimuli: the CS+ and CS- seen before, as well as two novel stimuli composed of the same two geometrical figures seen before imposed on novel background images. This design allowed us to examine a) whether sleep consolidates the original fear memory and b) whether sleep affects the degree of generalization of fear learning to when the originally fear-eliciting stimulus is presented in a novel context. Results revealed no group differences for either the consolidation or generalization of fear learning in either of our outcome measures (skin conductance responses, subjective ratings of unpleasantness, shock expectancy ratings, or explicit memory performance). Previous work on the effect of sleep on consolidation and generalization of fear learning has revealed mixed findings and there is currently limited evidence for sleep having an effect in either direction.

This study examined the relationship between the theme of interdependence in the narratives of American adults with disabilities during the first three years of the COVID-19 pandemic and psychological well-being. In contrast to independence, interdependence has emerged as a focus of research about people with disabilities in both the humanistic discipline of disability studies and in prior psychological research. In the present study, 108 participants completed questionnaires assessing well-being and responded to three narrative prompts once a year between 2020 and 2022, resulting in a total of 952 narratives. Narratives were reliably coded for the new narrative variable of interdependence. In addition, narratives were also reliably coded for the narrative themes of independence, dependence, agency, submissiveness, communion, and disconnection. The results of multi-level modeling analyses indicated that the themes of interdependence and disconnection were most strongly associated with psychological well-being over time. Within-person analyses indicated that higher levels of interdependence were associated with lower levels of well-being in 2020 and with higher levels of well-being in 2022. These results (along with a qualitative case study) suggest that the associations between narrative themes and well-being are contextualized and may demonstrate unusual associations during periods of extreme events, like the COVID-19 pandemic. This study quantitatively establishes interdependence as an important narrative theme, one especially salient for people with disabilities. It also suggests that people with disabilities may offer alternative ways of narrating contemporary American identity that might serve as an example for non-disabled and disabled people alike.
Task attentiveness is driven by observations of external rewards rather than internal performance estimates

Attention is a cognitive process that directs mental resources toward relevant information, facilitating learning and decision-making. Although individuals can monitor and report their own attentional state, it remains unclear whether these self-reports are primarily driven by estimation of performance or external cues. In this study, sixty-one participants completed a probabilistic reinforcement learning task in which they made binary choices to maximize monetary rewards. Due to the probabilistic nature of the task, participants could make accurate choices, such as selecting the option most likely to yield a reward, yet still observe a negative outcome. During task performance, participants rated their attentiveness at random intervals using a visual analogue scale. Using Bayesian regression analysis and computational reinforcement learning model, we found that self-reported attention was more strongly influenced by external outcomes (reward delivery) than by task performance estimates. Furthermore, we examined the causal association between task performance and the experience of attentiveness. Time-lagged analysis suggested that attentiveness ratings did not predict future performance, and rather were only influenced by reward history. These findings suggest that individuals may rely more on external cues, such as rewards, rather than internal assessments of performance when reporting their level of attention.
Seeds of Transformation: A History of Seeds of a Good Anthropocene (2014-2024)

Published: November 2024

The predominance of catastrophic and dystopian visions about the future makes it difficult to envision and articulate pathways for sustainability transformations towards more positive futures. To address this challenge, the "Seeds of a Good Anthropocene” (SoGA) project began over a decade ago, in 2014. The project seeks to identify and amplify existing, innovative, non-mainstream sustainability initiatives, which we call “seeds”, that have the potential to contribute to new development pathways and create positive futures. These “seeds” offer tangible examples of how positive change is already happening out of the mainstream, and imagining how they could grow provides a useful way of describing different plausible, desirable futures and articulating pathways to move towards those futures. This paper reviews the history of the SoGA project, its theoretical underpinnings, and its ongoing impact on futures thinking, scenario development, and sustainability science. Combining personal reflections of the project's founders with a bibliometric analysis of over 30 peer-reviewed papers connected to the SoGA project, the paper identifies key people, places, and ideas that have contributed to the project. It also highlights the project’s diverse activities, such as a mobile app to identify urban ‘seeds’ and assisting in the development of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Nature Futures Framework. The paper concludes by suggesting future research directions for the next decade of the SoGA project.
