Understanding the association between autonomic nervous system [ANS] function and brain morphology across the lifespan provides important insights into neurovisceral mechanisms underlying health and disease. Resting state ANS activity, indexed by measures of heart rate [HR] and its variability [HRV] has been associated with brain morphology, particularly cortical thickness [CT]. While findings have been mixed regarding the anatomical distribution and direction of the associations, these inconsistencies may be due to sex and age differences in HR/HRV and CT. Previous studies have been limited by small sample sizes, which impede the assessment of sex differences and aging effects on the association between ANS function and CT. To overcome these limitations, 20 groups worldwide contributed data collected under similar protocols of CT assessment and HR/HRV recording to be pooled in a mega-analysis (N = 1,218 (50.5% female), mean age 36.7 years (range: 12-87)). Findings suggest that the decline in HRV with increasing age is related to a decline in prefrontal CT, particularly in the orbitofrontal cortex. These effects were independent of sex and specific to HRV; with no significant association between CT and HR. Greater CT across the adult lifespan may be vital for the maintenance of healthy cardiac regulation via the ANS. Nonetheless, in the absence of longitudinal data, alternative explanations need to be considered. Findings reveal an important association between cortical thickness and cardiac parasympathetic activity with implications for healthy aging and longevity.

BACKGROUND: In order to increase trauma-related research and elevate trauma on the national research agenda, the National Trauma Institute (NTI) issued calls for proposals, selected funding recipients and coordinated sixteen federally funded (Department of Defense [DoD]) trauma research awards over a four-year period. We sought to collect and describe the lessons learned from this activity in order to inform future researchers of barriers and facilitators.METHODS: Fifteen principal investigators participated in semi-structured interviews focused on study management issues such as securing institutional approvals, screening and enrollment, multi-site trials management, project funding, staffing and institutional support. NTI Science Committee meeting minutes and study management data were included in the analysis. Simple descriptive statistics were generated and textual data were analyzed for common themes. RESULTS: PIs reported challenges in obtaining institutional approvals, delays in study initiation, screening and enrollment, multi-site management and study funding. Most were able to successfully resolve challenges and have been productive in terms of scholarly publications, securing additional research funding and training future trauma investigators. CONCLUSIONS: Lessons learned in the conduct of the first two funding rounds managed by NTI are instructive in four key areas: regulatory processes, multi-site coordination, adequate funding and the importance of an established research infrastructure to ensure study success. Recommendations for addressing institution-related and investigator-related challenges are discussed along with ongoing advocacy efforts to secure sustained federal funding of a national trauma research program commensurate with the burden of injury.
A Proposed Sustainable Transportation and Urban Mobility Design
Authors: Neyestani Behnam
Published: July 2018

The Urban Mobility Design is city's comprehensive resource on street design guidelines, policies, and processes. It aggregates a broad range of resources from nationally recognized engineering and design guidelines. It supplements rather than replaces existing engineering and environmental standards, requirements, or guidelines, such as the Manual on Traffic Control Devices and Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. In a city with as many varied and complex conditions as Metro Manila, designs should be tailored to the particular needs and opportunities created by the local context, uses, and dimensions of streets. The purpose of this study is to find the problems of transportation and mobility, and likewise propose the appropriate solutions based on principles of sustainability in city's transportation.

Shrinkage priors for Bayesian penalized regression.
Authors: van Erp Sara , Oberski Daniel L. , Mulder Joris
Published: July 2018

In linear regression problems with many predictors, penalized regression techniques are often used to guard against overfitting and to select variables relevant for predicting the outcome. Classical regression techniques find coefficients that minimize a squared residual; penalized regression adds a penalty term to this residual to limit the coefficients’ sizes, thereby preventing over- fitting. Many classical penalization techniques have a Bayesian counterpart, which result in the same solutions when a specific prior distribution is used in combination with posterior mode estimates. Compared to classical penalization techniques, the Bayesian penalization techniques perform similarly or even better, and they offer additional advantages such as readily available uncertainty estimates, automatic estimation of the penalty parameter, and more flexibility in terms of penalties that can be considered. As a result, Bayesian penalization is becoming increasingly popular. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature on Bayesian penalization. We will compare different priors for penalization that have been proposed in the literature in terms of their characteristics, shrinkage behavior, and performance in terms of prediction and variable selection in order to aid researchers to navigate the many prior options.

Persaingan dalam dunia usaha yang semakin kompetitif mengakibatkan masyarakat pengguna teknologi atau perusahaan melakukan strategi usaha agar dapat memenangkan atau bertahan dalam dunia e-commerce. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan cybercrime, terutama mengenai ancaman dari cybercrime itu sendiri terhadap Yhummy online shop. Penelitian ini membahas secara spesifik tentang bagaimana cybercrime terjadi pada dunia e-commerce khususnya pada Yhummy online shop. Hal ini menempatkan faktor sikap dari tiap-tiap perilaku pengguna atau brainware yang menyimpang dari aturan dunia teknologi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survey yang dilakukan terhadapa online shop. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data primer yang diperoleh langsung dari hasil jawaban pemilik Yhummy olshop dan kuesioner responden. Wawancara langsung kepada pemilik Yhummy olshop dan kepada responden yang masih bisa dijangkau areanya. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan non probability sampling dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik responden online shopping didominasi oleh perempuan dan memiliki rentang usia antara 16 tahun sampai 25 tahun. Sebagian besar dari mereka berstatus sebagai pelajar atau mahasiswa. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukan bahwa kualitas kepercayaan dari customer Yhummy olshop sangat tinggi. Dapat dilihat bahwa pada konsumen pria memiliki presentase yang agak renda dibandingkan wanita, hal ini menunjukan bahwa minat pria terhadap online shop tidak sebesar minat wanita. Namun tidak menutup kemungkinan bahwa kasus-kasus cybercrime juga bisa disebabkan oleh kaum pria.
Dispositional negativity in the wild: Social environment governs momentary emotional experience
Authors: Shackman Alexander J. , Weinstein Jennifer S. , Hudja Stanton , Bloomer Conor D. , Barstead Matthew , Lemay Edward , Fox Andrew S.
Published: July 2018

Dispositional negativity—the tendency to experience more frequent or intense negative emotions—is a fundamental dimension of temperament and personality. Elevated levels of dispositional negativity have profound consequences for public health and wealth, drawing the attention of researchers, clinicians, and policy makers. Yet, relatively little is known about the factors that govern the momentary expression of dispositional negativity in the real world. Here, we used smart phone-based experience-sampling to demonstrate that the social environment plays a central role in shaping the moment-by-moment emotional experience of 127 young adults selectively recruited to represent a broad spectrum of dispositional negativity. Results indicate that individuals with a more negative disposition derive much larger emotional benefits from the company of close companions—friends, romantic partners, and family members—and that these benefits reflect heightened feelings of social connection and acceptance. These results set the stage for developing improved interventions and provide new insights into the interaction of emotional traits and situations in the real world, close to clinically and practically important endpoints.
What Percentage of Programs Halt?
Authors: Bienvenu Laurent , Desfontaines Damien , Shen Alexander
Published: July 2018

Fix an optimal Turing machine $U$ and for each $n$ consider the ratio $\rho^U_n$ of the number of halting programs of length at most $n$ by the total number of such programs. Does this quantity have a limit value? In this paper, we show that it is not the case, and further characterise the reals which can be the limsup of such a sequence $\rho^U_n$. We also study, for a given optimal machine $U$, how hard it is to approximate the domain of $U$ from the point of view of coarse and generic computability.
Is the Association Between Education and Fertility Postponement Causal? The Role of Family Background Factors
Authors: Tropf Felix C , Mandemakers Jornt J
Published: July 2018

A large body of literature has demonstrated a positive relationship between education and age at first birth. However, this relationship may be partly spurious because of family background factors that cannot be controlled for in most research designs. We investigate the extent to which education is causally related to later age at first birth in a large sample of female twins from the United Kingdom (N = 2,752). We present novel estimates using within–identical twin and biometric models. Our findings show that one year of additional schooling is associated with about one-half year later age at first birth in ordinary least squares (OLS) models. This estimate reduced to only a 1.5-month later age at first birth for the within–identical twin model controlling for all shared family background factors (genetic and family environmental). Biometric analyses reveal that it is mainly influences of the family environment—not genetic factors—that cause spurious associations between education and age at first birth. Last, using data from the Office for National Statistics, we demonstrate that only 1.9 months of the 2.74 years of fertility postponement for birth cohorts 1944–1967 could be attributed to educational expansion based on these estimates. We conclude that the rise in educational attainment alone cannot explain differences in fertility timing between cohorts.
One and a half million medical papers reveal a link between author gender and attention to gender and sex analysis
Authors: Nielsen Mathias W. , Andersen Jens Peter , Schiebinger Londa , Schneider Jesper W.
Published: July 2018

Gender and sex analysis is increasingly recognized as a key factor in creating better medical research and healthcare. Using a sample of more than 1.5 million medical research papers, our study examined the potential link between women’s participation in medical science and attention to gender- and sex-related factors in disease-specific research. Adjusting for variations across countries, disease topics and medical research areas, we compared the participation of women authors in studies that do and do not involve gender and sex analysis. Overall, our results show a robust positive correlation between women’s authorship and a study’s likelihood of engaging gender and sex analysis. These findings corroborate discussions of how women’s participation in medical science links to research outcomes, and illustrate the mutual benefits of promoting both women’s scientific advancement and the integration of gender and sex analysis into medical research.
KnoE: A Web Mining Tool to Validate Previously Discovered Semantic Correspondences
Authors: Martinez-Gil Jorge , Aldana-Montes José F.
Published: July 2018

The problem of matching schemas or ontologies consists of providing corresponding entities in two or more knowledge models that belong to a same domain but have been developed separately. Nowadays there are a lot of techniques and tools for addressing this problem, however, the complex nature of the matching problem make existing solutions for real situations not fully satisfactory. The Google Similarity Distance has appeared recently. Its purpose is to mine knowledge from the Web using the Google search engine in order to semantically compare text expressions. Our work consists of developing a software application for validating results discovered by schema and ontology matching tools using the philosophy behind this distance. Moreover, we are interested in using not only Google, but other popular search engines with this similarity distance. The results reveal three main facts. Firstly, some web search engines can help us to validate semantic correspondences satisfactorily. Secondly there are significant differences among the web search engines. And thirdly the best results are obtained when using combinations of the web search engines that we have studied.
The Empty Space of Fragmented Intimacies on Khumbul'ekhaya
Authors: Mboti Nyasha
Published: July 2018

This article examines the nature of social media ‘talk’ generated by reality television (TV) audiences of Khumbul’ekhaya, a popular South African ‘docureality’ or ‘social reality’ series that has aired on SABC 1 since 2006. The article uses waThiong’o’s (1981) re-interpretation of the notion of ‘empty space’ to examine Khumbul’ekhaya viewers’ feedback on Facebook. I argue that this social media ‘talk’ reflects the fact that audiences typically treat Khumbul’ekhaya as an ‘empty space’ or a canvas which they variously reconstitute in their own languages.
MEREDUKSI MULTI PARTAI UNTUK KESTABILAN PEMBANGUNAN NASIONAL
Authors: Umanailo M. Chairul Basrun
Published: July 2018

Abstrak: Makalah ini mencoba untuk membahas permasalahan sistem multipartai di Indonesia. Doktrin utama dalam sistem demokrasi adalah dari rakyat, oleh rakyat dan untuk rakyat. Tiga poin tersebut dapat dimaknai dengan (1) kekuasaan berasal “dari” tangan rakyat, (2) dijalankan “oleh” perwakilan yang mewakili rakyat, (3) bertujuan “untuk” kemakmuran rakyat. Tujuan politik di Indonesia seperti yang tertuang dalam pembukaan UUD 1945 pada esensinya adalah untuk kemakmuran rakyat. Sehingga tujuan pembangunan nasional pun sejatinya selaras dengan landasan hukum yang ada di Indonesia tersebut. Namun pada faktanya praktik politik di Indonesia tidak sesuai bahkan bertentangan dengan yang rumusan dalam Undang-Undang Dasar. Sebagai kelanjutan dari praktik politik yang menyimpang tersebut arah pembangunan pun menjadi bias karena penentu kebijakan di negeri ini menggunakan praktik politik yang menyimpang. Dalam tulisan ini dibahas praktik penyimpangan politik yang berdampak pada terjadinya bias tujuan pembangunan nasional di Indonesia. Penulis mengupas permasalahan politik beserta dampaknya pada pembangunan tersebut dengan pendekatan ilmu sosial, antara lain; Sosiologi, Sejarah, dan Antropologi. Pendekatan sosiologis dengan melihat berbagai peristiwa sosial politik yang merupakan dampak dari penerapan multipartai di Indonesia. Pendekatan Sejarah dengan melihat perkembangan sistem perpolitikan di Indonesia dari masa ke masa. Terakhir pendekatan Antropologi dengan mengambil karya Clifford Geertz tentang trikotomi (Priayi, Santri, dan Abangan) dalam masyakat Indonesia sebagai bentuk klasifikasi kelompok masyarakat. Analisis terkait kelompok masyarakat (Priayi, Santri, Abangan) inilah kemudian yang digunakan untuk memberikan gambaran normatif bagi para elit pemangku kebijakan dalam membatasi dan mengontrol jumlah partai di Indonesia. Analisis tersebut digunakan karena melihat partai politik yang saat ini berkembang tidak lagi proporsional berdasarkan ideologi atau keterwakilan kelompok masyarakat, namun berkembang berdasarkan kepentingan material dan cenderung transaksional. Partai politik bukan lagi menjadi sandaran ideology konstituennya, yang selalu dekat dan merasa terdidik untuk terus mendapatkan pemahaman politiknya, namun saat ini, partai politik telah berubah menjadi gerombolan orang berpolitik untuk mendapatkan dan mempertahankan kekuasaan

Designing for Networked Collaborative Discourse: An UnLMS Approach
Authors: Chen Bodong
Published: July 2018

Supporting collaborative discourse with discussion forums in a typical Learning Management System (LMS) remains challenging. This article reports on a design case of an “unLMS” approach, which aimed to devise a networked learning environment not based on an LMS for collaborative discourse in an online course. To support such discourse, four design principles were proposed based on the literature and then used to guide technological and pedagogical designs. Following the principles, a networked learning environment was configured by harnessing emerging technologies of open textbooks, web annotation, and team communication. The designed environment was piloted in the online course. A survey was distributed at the end of the course to investigate student perceptions of the design. Student perceptions of the environment was overall positive in terms of usefulness and ease of use, despite several suggested refinements to improve the tool integration and to personalize student discourse experiences.
Specified Tests for Concrete Quality
Authors: Neyestani Behnam
Published: July 2018

Concrete is unique among construction materials in that it requires various degrees of processing between arriving on site and being placed, compacted, finished and cured. This is true whether the concrete is site batched or arrives ready mixed. It is therefore necessary to sample the concrete and conduct concrete testing to ensure that it complies with the requirements of the project specification.
Evolutionary Optimization of Colebrook’s Turbulent Flow Friction Approximations
Authors: Brkić Dejan , Ćojbašić Žarko
Published: July 2018

This paper presents evolutionary optimization of explicit approximations of the empirical Colebrook’s equation that is used for the calculation of the turbulent friction factor (λ), i.e., for the calculation of turbulent hydraulic resistance in hydraulically smooth and rough pipes including the transient zone between them. The empirical Colebrook’s equation relates the unknown flow friction factor (λ) with the known Reynolds number (R) and the known relative roughness of the inner pipe surface (ε/D). It is implicit in the unknown friction factor (λ). The implicit Colebrook’s equation cannot be rearranged to derive the friction factor (λ) directly, and therefore, it can be solved only iteratively [λ = f(λ, R, ε/D)] or using its explicit approximations [λ ≈ f(R, ε/D)], which introduce certain error compared with the iterative solution. The optimization of explicit approximations of Colebrook’s equation is performed with the aim to improve their accuracy, and the proposed optimization strategy is demonstrated on a large number of explicit approximations published up to date where numerical values of the parameters in various existing approximations are changed (optimized) using genetic algorithms to reduce maximal relative error. After that improvement, the computational burden stays unchanged while the accuracy of approximations increases in some of the cases very significantly.
PocketPedal: Beyond Disciplines with Mobile Games
Authors: Roudavski Stanislav , Holland Alexander
Published: July 2018

Facilitating communication and cooperation is a challenge for anyone who seeks to achieve change and reform in architecture and other disciplines. This article discusses a project that seeks to overcome this problem through a participatory design process enhanced by mobile gaming. Deployed on smartphones, the project’s custom-built game - PocketPedal - is designed to accompany conventional participatory methods. The toolkit created through this work can be used in design workshops to facilitate communication across habitual divides and to support imagination and creativity. The current iteration of the project applies its methods to the challenge of reforming urban cycling in Melbourne. More specifically, it investigates one of the city’s characteristic and intractable cycling challenges: St Kilda Road.
Comparison of the Lambert W‐function based solutions to the Colebrook equation
Authors: Brkić Dejan
Published: July 2018

Purpose– The Colebrook equation for determination of hydraulic resistances is implicit in fluid flow friction factor and hence it has to be approximately solved using iterative procedure or using some of the approximate explicit formulas developed by many authors. The purpose of this paper is to compare different Lambert W based solutions of the Colebrook equation and to make comparisons among them and identify some constraints in applicability of certain solutions.Design/methodology/approach– Alternate mathematically equivalents to the implicit Colebrook equation in explicit form with no approximation involved actually exist.Findings– These alternate equations were developed using Lambert W‐function. The paper compares various implementations of the Lambert W methodology and shows that some of these are less able than others to yield solutions using modern computer hardware. This is because the functions require the evaluation of terms with numerical values outside the ranges that can be expressed on most computers.Research limitations/implications– Some of existed transformations cannot be applied for high values of relative roughness of inner pipe surface and the Reynolds number. This limitation applied only for computer computations. Other presented transformations do not sufferer of this limitation.Practical implications– Presented procedures can be easily implemented in a computer code. Recommended solution can be used in all cases that can occur in engineering practice.Originality/value– The paper shows some possible practical procedures for solution of the transformed Colebrook equation. Accuracy analysis and comparisons of presented formulas are also performed and recommendation for use is shown.
An intuitive, visual presentation of categorical syllogisms
Authors: Radulescu Dan Constantin
Published: July 2018

One proposes a very simple scheme for finding logical conclusions (LCs) from any pairof categorical premises (PCP), by using the fact that any universal, (resp. particular),premise empties, (resp. lays set elements into), two subsets out of the eight subsetpartition of the universal set U which models the categorical statements. This shows,(without using syllogistic moods and figures, syllogistic axioms and inference rules, norvalid syllogism rules), that any LC refers to just one of the 8 subsets of U. Via setrelabeling, (instead of syllogism reduction), any PCP entailing an LC, may be recast as,e.g., one of the Barbara, Darii or Darapti valid syllogisms (VSs).

Latinoamérica y la educación superior en la encrucijada de la Sociedad del Conocimiento.Desafíos y disrupciones
Authors: Zapata-Ros Miguel
Published: July 2018

Open education will overcome conditions that make learning difficult. In this way, open education has become an objective for educational systems in developed societies. Institutions and research centers are keen to explore which organizational modalities are most effective in achieving the best learning outcomes and which get the best results for each mode of study, or professional performance. The aim is to provide teachers and instructional managers in higher education with instructional design modalities that achieve these objectives, and then facilitate the roaming of the current situation to an open university education. This is also the challenge in Latin America.This paper serves not only to present and attribute meaning to this special issue, but also to offer a general overview of the state of the art of open online teaching, analysing its current trends and the causes which determine it.We conclude that we are witnessing a global change imposed by the permeabilization of the interuniversity space, and by the presence of global universities. The university disruption is a challenge. The way to face it is via the intrinsic strengths of local universities, which constitute the extensible core according to Christensen (Hardesty, March 6, 2013), through Zapata-Ros (2013d)): Creating genuine personalization and inclusion initiatives for Latino communities and creating their own poles of research, including educational research. It is in this way-this type of habitats-, which international agencies cannot compete with.
Celebrating British multiculturalism, lamenting England/Britain’s past
Authors: Black Jack
Published: July 2018

Drawing upon Littler and Naidoo’s ‘white past, multicultural present’ alignment, this article examines English newspaper coverage of two ‘British’ events held in 2012 (the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympic Games). In light of recent work on English nationalism, national identity and multiculturalism, this article argues that representations of Britain oscillated between lamentations for an English/British past – marred by decline – and a present that, while being portrayed as both confident and progressive, was beset by latent anxieties. In doing so, ‘past’ reflections of England/Britain were presented as a ‘safe’ and legitimate source of belonging that had subsequently been lost and undermined amidst the diversity of the ‘present’. As a result, feelings of discontent, anxiety and nostalgia were dialectically constructed along- side ‘traditional’ understandings of England/Britain. Indeed, this draws attention to the ways in which particular ‘versions’ of the past are engaged with and the impact that this can have on discussions related to multiculturalism and the multiethnic history of England/Britain.
The age of the applied economist: the transformation of economics since the 1970s
Authors: Cherrier Beatrice , Backhouse Roger
Published: July 2018

It is widely accepted that economics has changed significantly since the 1970s with the development of new data sources, new methods of analysis and the computer. This paper argues that this transformation of the discipline involves more than just a rise of empirical work: it involves a new understanding of the relationship between theoretical and applied work, which raised the prestige of the latter. The meaning of economic theory and applied work and the boundaries between them changed as theory and empirical work alike became more applied in the sense that they were brought to bear on specific social issues, often with a policy orientation. Drawing on an analysis of John Bates Clark medal winners and on papers published in a special volume of History of Political Economy, to which which this is an introduction, we then discuss reasons for this transformation. It resulted from new modeling strategies, data sets and technologies as as well as the changing influence of public and private patrons. A10, B20, B40, C00
The Place of White in a World of Grays: A Double Anchoring Theory of Lightness Perception
Authors: Bressan Paola
Published: July 2018

The specific gray shades in a visual scene can be derived from relative luminance values only when an anchoring rule is followed. The double-anchoring theory I propose in this article, as a development of the anchoring theory of Gilchrist et al. (1999), assumes that any given region (a) belongs to one or more frameworks, created by Gestalt grouping principles, and (b) is independently anchored, within each framework, to both the highest luminance and the surround luminance. The region's final lightness is a weighted average of the values computed, relative to both anchors, in all frameworks. The new model accounts not only for all lightness illusions that are qualitatively explained by the anchoring theory but also for a number of additional effects, and it does so quantitatively, with the support of mathematical simulations.

Mindfulness, Consciousness and Quantum Physics
Authors: Di Sia Paolo
Published: July 2018

The relation between quantum physics and higher brain functions, including the consciousness, is in recent years a top subject of deep discussions from a scientific, philosophical, psychological and existential point of view. Reality is in continuous motion, life is continuously becoming, a movementof propagating energy waves. The quantum revolution undermined the solid nature of reality, opening the door to the primary role of mind, and proposing scenarios with unexpected features. In this paper interesting aspects of quantum physics are considered, with inevitable repercussions on our lives, which can decisively influence our actions and future. These findings underline the importance of building a cognitive resilience with mindfulness training, for improving the ability to regulate emotions, attention to the true surrounding reality, mood and well-being in life.
Smart combination of web measures for solving semantic similarity problems
Authors: Martinez‐Gil Jorge , Aldana‐Montes José F.
Published: July 2018

Semantic similarity measures are very important in many computer‐related fields. Previous works on applications such as data integration, query expansion, tag refactoring or text clustering have used some semantic similarity measures in the past. Despite the usefulness of semantic similarity measures in these applications, the problem of measuring the similarity between two text expressions remains a key challenge. This paper aims to address this issue.
Systematic approach to natural gas usage for domestic heating in urban areas
Authors: Brkić Dejan , Tanasković Toma I.
Published: July 2018

Natural gas can be used for satisfying population needs for heating, either directly by bringing the gas to the dwellings through the gas distribution system and combusting it in the domestic boiler (gas distribution system—G) or indirectly by combusting the natural gas in the heating plant and distributing the heat energy to the dwellings through the district-heating (DH) system. The selection of a certain type of heating system is made according to the disposition of buildings in the area, their number, size, insulation quality, etc. Based on these characteristics, calculations of investments and exploitation costs have been made for both heating systems and a comparison has been made for all of the 96 presented cases. Almost each type of real settlement can be represented by one of the types of the conditional urban area that are introduced in the paper. The main goal of this paper is to establish a general model to achieve coordinated development of centralized energy supply systems fueled by natural gas, based on defined and accepted criteria. A structure analysis of centralized systems for energy supply has been done with accent on their pipelines.
When misrepresentation is successful
Authors: Zehetleitner Michael , Schönbrodt Felix D.
Published: July 2018

In the present chapter, we investigate the notion that an action is successful if and only if (iff) it is caused by a true representation. We demonstrate that there indeed exist representations which - even though being false - can systematically lead to successful actions, if specific conditions hold, especially, if there is stochastic noise in the generation of representations and the cost of errors is asymmetrically distributed and the success-relevant feature can only be indirectly assessed via indicator features. Finally, we discuss this observation in relation to illusionary perception and evolutionary epistemology.
Incremental Criterion Prediction of Personality Facets over Factors: Obtaining Unbiased Estimates and Confidence Intervals
Authors: Anglim Jeromy , Grant Sharon L.
Published: July 2018

Many researchers have argued that higher order models of personality such as the Five Factor Model are insufficient, and that facet-level analysis is required to better understand criteria such as well-being, job performance, and personality disorders. However, common methods in the extant literature used to estimate the incremental prediction of facets over factors have several shortcomings. This paper delineates these shortcomings by evaluating alternative methods using statistical theory, simulation, and an empirical example. We recommend using differences between Olkin-Pratt adjusted r-squared for factor versus facet regression models to estimate the incremental prediction of facets and present a method for obtaining confidence intervals for such estimates using double adjusted-r-squared bootstrapping. We also provide an R package that implements the proposed methods.
Abd-el-Krim al-Khattabi: The Unknown Mentor of Che Guevara
Authors: Er Mevliyar
Published: July 2018

Abd-el-Krim Al-Khattabi’s guerilla tactics are said to have influenced several renowned revolutionaries, such as Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong. There is evidencethat Che Guevara equally employed at least some of the tactics and methods, whichwere devised by the Rifis. After all, Alberto Bayo, the much respected guerilla trainerof Che, had fought during his military career for a relatively long period of timeagainst the Rifis. Castro, yet another role model for Che, mentions in his biography that he read about the battle of Annual, one of the most successful attacks againstthe Spanish initiated by Abd-el-Krim in 1921. There are also claims that Che hadmet Abd-el-Krim in 1959 in Cairo. Castro does not mention that he had discussedwith Che anything about his readings on the Rif war, but he clearly states that Bayoused to teach in his camp guerilla methods that he had encountered during his assign- ments in Morocco. However, neither Bayo nor Che (or their biographers) mentionthat any of the tactics imparted during the trainings were from the time of Abd-elKrim’sstruggle. The only person praised by both men is the Nicaraguan rebel leaderAugusto Ce´sar Sandino. This article compares the tactical teachings of Bayo as wellas the operational methods used by Che during his battles in Cuba with the methods applied by the Rifis under Abd-el-Krim’s leadership and highlights a number of tacticalsimilarities. It also finds that the guerilla tactics applied by Sandino have little in common with the methods described by Bayo.

Banyumas; Fiksi & Fakta Sebuah Kota

Published: July 2018

Jika dicermati, tidak banyak buku yang membicarakanBanyumas. Kalaupun ada, jumlahnya masih dapat dihitung dengan jari, yang kebanyakan bermula dari penelitian, baik penelitian individu dalam tugas belajar maupun penelitian dalam rangka pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Buku-buku tersebut biasanya ditulis dengan sangat ilmiah dan bahasanya cukup kaku sehingga terasa membosankan bila dibaca dari awal hingga akhir. Paling-paling, yang betah membaca adalah orang-orang yang sedang memiliki kepentingan untuk melakukan penelitian serupa. Padahal, yang diharapkan dari sebuah buku yang disebarkan luas pada masyarakat itu untuk dibaca tidak hanya bagi yang berkepentingan saja. Alangkah baiknya sebuah buku yang berisi kata-kata dapat menjadi realitas.

Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia (WHO) merilis data sbb: sekitar 200 juta orang tidak memiliki sumber air bersih yang layak diminum, 350 juta orang tidak punya fasilitas sanitasi dasar yang sangat dibutuhkan, dan satu milyar orang tidak punya sistem pengelolaan sampah. Buruknya sanitasi dan penyediaan air minum itu meningkatkan kematian bayi/anak dan mengurangi umur harapan hidup. Data lain menyebutkan 1,3 milyar orang hidup tanpa air bersih dan 2 milyar tanpa sanitasi dasar (air limbah dan sampah). Bagaimana di Indonesia? Bagaimana di Kota Bandung?
Cognition, emphasis, and the viewer’s experience of fine art
Authors: McCallum Katie , Mitchell Scott , Scott-Phillips Thom
Published: July 2018

Art theory has consistently emphasised the importance of situational, cultural, institutional and historical factors in viewers’ experience of fine art. However, the link between this heavily context-dependent interpretation and the workings of the mind is often left unexamined. Drawing on recent developments in cognitive pragmatics, we here argue that fine art achieves its effects by prompting the use of cognitive processes that are more commonly employed in the interpretation of words and other stimuli presented in a communicative context, drawing an analogy between gallery framing and communicative emphasis. More generally, we situate and describe the Western fine art tradition as a phenomenon that is a consequence of both human biological heritage and of cultural norms, practices and institutions.
