Why neuroscience does not disprove free will
Authors: Brass Marcel , Furstenberg Ariel , Mele Alfred R.
Published: April 2019

While the question whether free will exists or not has concerned philosophers for centuries, empirical research on this question is relatively young. About 35 years ago Benjamin Libet designed an experiment that challenged the common intuition of free will, namely that conscious intentions are causally efficacious. Libet demonstrated that conscious intentions are preceded by a specific pattern of brain activation, suggesting that unconscious processes determine our decisions and we are only retrospectively informed about these decisions. Libet-style experiments have ever since dominated the discourse about the existence of free will and have found their way into the public media. Here we review the most important challenges to the common interpretation of Libet-style tasks and argue that the common interpretation is questionable. Brain activity preceding conscious decisions reflects the decision process rather than its outcome. Furthermore, the decision process is configured by conditional intentions that participants form at the beginning of the experiment. We conclude that Libet-style tasks do not provide a serious challenge to our intuition of free will.
I’ve Seen Enough! Prolonged and Repeated Exposure to Disgusting Stimuli Increases Oculomotor Avoidance
Authors: Armstrong Thomas , Stewart Jeremy , Dalmaijer Edwin S. , Rowe Megan , Danielson Siri , Engel Mira , Bailey Brooklynn , Morris Matthew
Published: April 2019

Disgust motivates avoidance of stimuli associated with pathogens. Although disgust primarily inhibits oral and epidermal contact, it may also inhibit perceptual contact, particularly given the outsize role of sensory qualities in eliciting disgust. To examine perceptual avoidance of disgust, we presented images of bodily products or spoiled food paired with neutral images for 12-s trials and recorded eye movements (Experiment 1; N= 127). We found that overall, these disgusting images were not visually avoided compared to neutral images. However, viewing of disgusting images decreased with prolonged (within-trial) and repeated (between-trial) exposure, and these trends were uniquely predicted by self-reported disgust to the images. In Experiment 2 (N = 84), we replicated Experiment 1 with a novel set of disgusting images, as well as other unpleasant image categories (suicide, threat) and pleasant images. We found that disgusting stimuli were viewed less than the other unpleasant image categories, and we again found that viewing of disgusting images decreased with prolonged and repeated exposure. Further, we replicated the finding that disgust ratings uniquely predicted decreasing viewing of disgusting images, but only for prolonged exposure (within-trial). Unexpectedly, we found that disgust ratings uniquely predicted a similar pattern of decreasing viewing for the suicide and threat images as well. These findings suggest that disgust inhibits perceptual contact, but in competition with motivational processes that steer attention towards pathogen threats. We discuss the implications for measuring disgust with eye tracking.
Changing the logic of replication: A case from infant studies
Authors: Margoni Francesco , Shepperd Martin
Published: April 2019

Infant research is making considerable progresses. However, among infant researchers there is growing concern regarding the widespread habit of undertaking studies that have small sample sizes and employ tests with low statistical power (to detect a wide range of possible effects). For many researchers, issues of confidence may be partially resolved by relying on replications. Here, we bring further evidence that the classical logic of confirmation, according to which the result of a replication study confirms the original finding when it reaches statistical significance, could be usefully abandoned. With real examples taken from the infant literature and Monte Carlo simulations, we show that a very wide range of possible replication results would in a formal statistical sense constitute confirmation as they can be explained simply due to sampling error. Thus, often no useful conclusion can be derived from a single or small number of replication studies. We suggest that, in order to accumulate and generate new knowledge, the dichotomous view of replication as confirmatory/disconfirmatory can be replaced by an approach that emphasizes the estimation of effect sizes via meta-analysis. Moreover, we discuss possible solutions for reducing problems affecting the validity of conclusions drawn from meta-analyses in infant research.
Geographic clustering of longevity in a Dutch province, 1812-1962: How stable, behavior-associated environmental characteristics explain the local clustering of longevity
Authors: Mourits Rick Johannes , Janssens Angelique
Published: April 2019

There are places that bring forth unexpectedly large numbers of long-lived individuals. In this study, we explore which factors affect geographic clustering of longevity and indicate whether survival advantages occur early in life, later in life, or over the entire lifespan. 150 years of mortality data are used to reconstruct the lifespans of the 1812-1862 Zeeland cohort, resulting in a sample of 176,577 individuals from 101 municipalities. We found evidence of longevity clustering for women. Geographic patterns in longevity were similar for men, but not statistically significant. For both sexes, the environment affects individuals over the entire life course and not in early or later life only. Clustering of longevity was associated with agricultural practices, demographic pressure, and poverty, whereas the religious denomination or population density of a municipality had no effect on individual chances to become long-lived. Our findings underline the importance of the living environment for individual chances to become long-lived. Moreover, it shows that geographic clustering of longevity in Zeeland were explained by an interaction between human behavior and the environment that affected individual survival chances over the entire lifespan.

Psychosemantic Peculiarities of Promotional Videos Perception
Authors: Shamne Anzhelika , Dotsevych Tamiliia , Akimova Alina
Published: April 2019

The article presents the findings of a study of the psycho-semantic characteristics of the perception of promotional videos in the juvenile and adolescent age periods (as exemplified by the students of a lyceum and those of an institution of higher education in Ukraine). The modern advertising is seen as a societal and socio-psychological phenomenon that models not only the behavior but also the values, standards and mindsets of the younger generation. The scientific principles of the experimental psycho-semantics became the methodological basis for the empirical research in question. The purpose of the research was to reconstruct semantic spaces and an individual system of meanings, through the prism of which advertisements are perceived by juveniles and adolescents of both genders.
The psycho-semantic research was carried out in three stages: scaling of advertising objects (on the basis of the semantic differential method), the construction of semantic spaces of promotional videos and the interpretation of the results obtained. Five promotional videos of different types were selected as the evaluation objects (an “Otrivin” animation video with computer graphics and special effects; a “Pantene” actor-supported voice-over music video; a “Hylak Forte” voice-over information-type video; a “Samsung” celebrity figure-supported video; a “Raiffeisenbank” storyline actor-supported voice-over music video). A comparative analysis of the psycho-semantic spaces of the above-mentioned objects was performed; the age and gender characteristics of their perception in the juvenile and adolescent age periods were determined.
The following factors were identified as the main semantic axes of the psycho-semantic perception (as exemplified by the “Raiffeisenbank” promotional video): “Confidence in (distrust of) advertising” (SD indicators “true – false”, “informative – less informative”, “intelligent – stupid”); “Emotional attractiveness (unattractiveness) of advertising” (SD indicators “attractive – repulsive”, “joyful – sad”; “Tactfulness (obtrusiveness) of advertising” (SD indicators “relaxed – tense”, “modest – obtrusive”, “interesting – boring”).

Published: April 2019

Perkembangan Kota Pontianak menuju Kecamatan Pontianak Barat berimplikasi pada maraknya pembangunan ruko di sepanjang Jalan Ampera, Jalan Dr. Wahidin, Jalan Husein Hamzah, dan Jalan Danau Sentarum. Pengamatan lapangan menunjukkan banyak ruko dalam kondisi terbengkalai di sepanjang jalan tersebut. Hasil penelitian berupa analisis terhadap objek fotografi, interpretasi citra Google Earth, observasi dan wawancara, sebagai berikut. Pertama, analisis fotografi mengenai kondisi ruko terbengkalai. Kedua, distribusi ruko terbengkalai secara keruangan mengelompok di tepi jalan, dan terdapat ruko yang dibangun dengan spekulasi tinggi di kawasan yang belum rama. Ketiga, pertimbangan berinvestasi ruko didorong asumsi imbal hasil dari harga jual dan sewa bangunan. Ruko sebagai investasi bukan tempat usaha, sehingga tidak dimanfaatkan pemilik ruko sendiri untuk kegiatan ekonomi. Harga jual maupun sewa yang tinggi menyebabkan ekonomi biaya tinggi bagi pengusaha, sehingga ruko tidak diminati, bahkan ditinggalkan penyewanya.

Authors: Araiku Jeri
Published: April 2019

Based on the merit, the uncertainty of the results, and the lack of depth of existing researches in connecting gender and cognitive level, hence, the purpose of this research is to analyze the difference of students’ mathematics ability in bloom’s taxonomy domain based on gender. This research is quantitative research with 156 students taken as sample, consisted of 81 male and 75 female students. Two-way anova employed in this study, with LSD (Least Significant Difference) and HSD (Honestly Significant Difference) as post hoc test. The results show that all assumption tests for variance analysis are fulfilled. From two-way anova test, obtained the result that Fcount > Ftable at α = 0.05 (Fcount = 10.57 dan Ftable = 2.22) which means that there is interaction between gender and students’ cognitive level. LSD test shows that at level C1, male students perform better than female groups. However, there is no difference between both groups for overall performance. HSD test also reveals that there is significant different on students’ performance in C1, C2, and C3, but not in C4, C5, and C6.
The Challenges of Teaching and Learning the Igbo Language at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojugwu University, Igbariam Nigeria
Authors: Udoye Ifeoma Emmanuela
Published: April 2019

This study identifies and describes the problems of teaching and learning of the Igbo language at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Nigeria. In the last two decades, it has been observed that there has been a substantial decrease in the proportion of students who applied for or even enrolled to study the Igbo language at university level in Nigeria. Using survey design, this study investigated the problems associated with the teaching and learning of the Igbo language. Fifteen Igbo language students and four Igbo language lecturers at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam campus were used to obtain information. Two instruments were administered onparticipants selected for the study. Results indicate that lack of Igbo pedagogical materials, attitude of people towards the language among other things prevent the smooth teaching and learning of the Igbo language. The paper concludes that although efforts are made by scholars to revitalize and popularize the study of Igbo language, interest and enrolment among prospective students are still very low.
THE DESTINIES OF AFRICANS IN THE MODERN WORLD ARE HINDERED BY SELFISH LEADERS (MATT. 20:24-28)

Published: April 2019

Africa as a nation stands out as one of the cradles of life and civilization but whenone looks around today one discovers that Africa has become the dumping ground of usedproducts from Europe and America and to save life, one must travel to get adequate medicalattention. Hospitals, schools, road networks, modern mass communication equipments, jobopportunities, scholarship schemes, electricity are majorly in shambles or epileptic. When onevisits some institutions of higher learning as well as hospitals outside the shores of Africa, onediscovers that experts in various fields working in them are from Africa. One of the thingsmigration of the young from Africa to Europe and America has taught us is that African childrencan compete favourably with their European and American counterparts when placed under thesame condition. Hence, it is not that Africans are not gifted intellectually, they are but African'sintellectual prowess has not been adequately harnessed as a result of the actions and inactions oftheir leaders. This proves that there is nothing wrong with African soil, water, air and vegetation.The problem is actually perpetuated daily by old, selfish, visionless and uncharismatic leaders inAfrica. When such leaders are on seat, the destinies of their citizens are daily suppressedknowingly or unknowingly. This study aims at showing that African underdevelopment lies in thehands of selfish and sit-tight leaders. Jesus in the above chapter and verses of Matthew urges thatanyone who will present himself to be a leader must be the servant of others. The desire of aservant leader centers on how to help all citizens realize their destinies. This study adopted thehistorical critical exegesis as well as library research as her methodology to arrive at herconclusions. This study argues that if present crop of leaders in Africa were to be selfless andcharismatic, Africa will be the envy of the whole world. Significantly, this study will be ofimmense benefit to Africans and indeed the whole world.

Published: April 2019

Chlorophyll content in leaf which can be measured and expressed as SPAD values, is a good indicator of plant health. The present study aimed to develop linear models for studying relationship between SPAD values and spectrophotometrically
determined chlorophylls and carotenoid contents in leaves of 468 wheat genotypes. The SPAD values were taken in the flag leaves at heading stage. Chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b), total chlorophyll (total Chl) and total carotenoids (total
Car) contents were assessed using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) extraction method. To estimate photosynthetic pigment content in leaves, SPAD value-based linear models were developed and Chla (Chlb = 0.0690 x SPAD Value - 1.082), Chla (Chlb = 0.021 x
SPAD Value 0.396), total Chl (Total chlorophyll = 0.090 x SPAD Value - 1.477) and total carotenoids (Total Carotenoids = 0.013 x SPAD Value 0.074) were estimated. The present study reports development of linear model for quantification of the
photosynthetic pigment content in wheat leaves using chlorophyll meter.

Exploitation of heterosis in the form of hybrid rice is yet to be exploited at commercial level in the temperate regions of India. The present study is attempted to develop rice hybrids for the temperate conditions of Kashmir valley by
utilizing the cytoplasmic genetic male sterility system (CGMS). Among the four CMS lines evaluated, the genotype SKUA-7A and SKUA-11A had desirable performances. The 24 test crosses developed involving these CMS lines were evaluated for spikelet
fertility and pollen fertility. Moreover, the highest standard heterosis for grain yield and other yield attributes over the check varieties (Jehlum and Shalimar Rice-3) was recorded in the cross combination K15-34 followed by K15-31 and K15-40.
Pollen parents of all the three test crosses on screening with RM-6100, DDRMRf3-10 and DRCG-Rf4-14 markers revealed presence of both Rf3 and Rf4 genes responsible for fertility restoration. Besides, 39 genotypes were screened for fertility
restoration and the lines RL-2, RL-5, RL-6, RL-7, RL-10, Pusa Sugandh3 and Kohsar were identified to carry homozygous alleles at both Rf3 and Rf4 loci. These genotypes can thus be used as promising restores for the development of temperate rice
hybrids.
Modified backcross breeding method for rapid conversion of field corn line to shrunken2 (sh2) gene-based sweet corn line
Authors: Jha S. K. , Singh N. K. , Agrawal P. K.
Published: April 2019

The non-availability of superior and diverse inbred parents is one of the major bottlenecks to develop high yielding sweet corn hybrids. The sh2, one of the promising recessive mutant alleles, has been used in sweet corn development however
its transfer to superior field corn lines may require extra inbreeding to identify heterozygous carrier plants. The use of molecular markers linked with sh2 requires a well-equipped laboratory and skilled person to carry the marker assisted backcross
breeding (MABB). Considering the above constraints, a modified backcross breeding method was used taking advantage of shrunken kernel of sweet corn for foreground selection coupled with phenotypic comparison with recurrent parent (RP). The BC1F1
plants were grown and plants having high phenotypic similarity with RP were selfed as well as backcrossed as pollen parent. The BC2F1 kernels of BC1F1 plants having high similarity with RP and segregation in BC1F2 kernels were harvested. The BC2F1
plants phenotypically most similar to recomment parameter (RP) were selfed and the shrunken kernels were selected from the segregating BC2F2 .The shrunken kernels were homozygous (sh2sh2) at Sh2 locus, which were validated upon inbreeding based on
nonsegregating kernels in BC2F3 . The modified backcross method used is rapid, cost effective and can be used by maize breeder with limited resources for conversion as well diversification of sweet corn germplasm.
Development and characterization of STMS molecular markers and genetic diversity analysis of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]

Published: April 2019

Mung bean is an important crop in Asia because of its high protein content and other economic uses. However, because of the unavailability of polymorphic DNA markers, genomic research of mung bean is lacking. In this study, we developed and
characterised simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers by screening SSR-enriched partial genomic libraries with SSR probes and used them to analyse the genetic diversity of mung bean. Thus, we isolated, cloned, sequenced a genomic library that
contained microsatellite loci from the mung bean variety ‘MCV-1’. The polymorphisms of microsatellite loci were evaluated using the unweighted pair group method of arithmetic means, and MDS cluster analysis showed genetic relationships in a panel of
96 mung bean core collection genotypes. Genetic diversity analysis results showed contrasted levels of variability within cultivated and wild accessions. A total of 98 alleles were detected using 19 polymorphic markers, with an average of 4.9 alleles
per locus, whereas observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.1 to 0.5, with a mean of 0.42 per locus. The number of alleles and the high level of polymorphism make these new markers useful for gene tagging, diversity analyses and marker assisted
selection in mung bean.

In the pre-test result, the mean of the experimental group was 58.85 and 58.94 for the control group. In post-test, after the authentic material was applied, the mean of the experimental group became 73.94 and 63.15 for the control  group. It can be seen that the mean of the experimental group was higher than the control group in post-test. Seeing from the comparison of mean between the experimental group and the control group, it can  be known that teaching speaking by using authentic material is effective. In order to find the answer of the hypothesis, certain statistics was used. The analysis of hypothesis testing was conducted using  ANCOVA. From the computation, it was known that the significance of value was 0.029 < 0.05, then the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. Therefore, the hypothesis shows that there is a significance difference between students taught using authentic material and those taught without using created material is accepted

Forests in a time machine – possibilities and limits of paleoecology

Paleoecology allows the reconstruction of ecological processes that take place on long timescales – for example the vegetation dynamics since the last Ice Age or changes in the species composition of forests due to anthropogenic land use. This can be achieved by analyzing plant remains like pollen, spores, leaves, seeds or charcoal that have been conserved over millennia under low oxygen conditions in the sediment of lakes and mires. In this article, we outline the principals, the limits and the potential of paleoecology. It becomes clear that nowadays, this discipline is more than just a descriptive science. Thanks to quantitative methods, it can be used to test ecological hypothesis and identify causal relationships. Paleoecology can therefore contribute to assess the resilience of vegetation communities to external disturbances, and provides important information on how our forests will react to past, current and future climate change.
Abschätzung des Einflusses von Verbiss durch wildlebende Huftiere auf die Baumverjüngung

Assessment of the impact of ungulate browsing on tree regeneration

Browsing percentage is an objective and reproducible measure of the frequency of browsing by wild ungulates on tree regeneration. However, this relative number of browsed terminal shoots accounts for little of the effective long-term influence of browsing on tree regeneration. Apart from browsing percentage, the following four factors are important for estimating the influence of browsing: the density of tree regeneration, the within-tree browsing intensity, the height growth of the tree regeneration (and thus the time needed to grow out of the reach of browsers and the browsing-induced loss of height increment), and the mortality induced by browsing. At least the first three of these factors can be obtained easily and should thus be included in future browsing inventories.

Konkurrierende Erinnerungspolitiken in Gedenkstätten
Authors: Williams Timothy
Published: April 2019

In Post-Gewalt-Kambodscha ist Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum zusammen mit den „killing fields“ Choeung Ek zu einem der wichtigsten Gedenkorte geworden. Dieser Ort ist zentral für den dominanten Diskurs über die Bedeutung vergangener Gewalt während der Herrschaft der Roten Khmer. Das in der Gedenkstätte vorgestellte Narrativ dämonisiert einerseits die Roten Khmer als die Gruppe, die für die exzessive Grausamkeit der späten 1970er Jahre verantwortlich ist. Gleichzeitig konstruiert es eine Opferschaft aller Menschen, die unter dem Regime gelebt haben, auch ehemaliger Kader der Roten Khmer. Diese Konkurrenz verschiedener Narrative wird durch eine Ellipse ermöglicht, bei welcher verschwiegen wird, dass ein Großteil der hier gefolterten und dann getöteten Menschen selbst Kader der Roten Khmer waren, die Säuberungen zum Opfer gefallen sind. Dieses Schweigen manifestiert sich in einer Ellipse im Audio-Guide, der auf Leiden und Schmerz in den Mittelpunkt stellt, sowie im Mangel an weiterführenden Informationen in der Dauerausstellung. Während temporäre Ausstellungen sich auch mit den einzelnen Tätern beschäftigen, wird hier ein Opferschicksal konstruiert. Auf dieser Art und Weise wird die Gedenkstätte genutzt, um ein breiteres Narrativ zu erzählen, welches die Regierung in ihrer Erinnerungspolitik stützt.
