Teleport to the Augmented Real World
Authors: Rhee Taehyun
Published: October 2023

New Zealand is well-known for its beautiful nature, which has contributed to it being a prime destination for many movies and commercials. A strong media and technology ecosystem has been built to support this industry.

Computer Graphics (CG) and visual effects (VFX) enables seamless blending between computer generated imagery and recorded real footage. Recent advancements of real-time technologies actuate the transition from off-line post-production to real-time. Immersive media technologies transform the end-user experience from observing, to a high sense of presence within the story. Furthermore, high-speed networking changes the media distribution from a pre-recorded medium to live streaming.

This talk will explain the recent convergence of immersive, interactive, and intelligent technologies, introduce a concept of augmented telepresence, the frame work and platform that allow user’s illusion to virtually teleport to the captured real-space to interact with the objects in the media and the state-of-the-art technologies that enhance users’ telepresence.

The further extension of the platform with the high-speed network will be able to allow remote interaction and immersive collaboration with people in distance. Recent case studies with public end-users will be introduced including a live-streaming concert to online viewers (controlled by a producer in real-time with augmented live VFX), virtual tourisms, and remote education. Potential applications and future extensions is further discussed in the session.

The Other Relativism
Authors: Cahoone Larry
Published: October 2023

Relativism and discussions of the relativity of human judgment have played an important role in philosophy since the 1950s. Such claims are regarded by many as the enemy of realism, the view that human judgments can be valid with respect to their objects as those objects obtain independent of the judgments. Most relativisms assert the relativity of human judgment to some trait of the judge, hence are anthropic. But there is another kind: objective relativism. It was espoused by some of the American pragmatists of the early to mid-twentieth century. Their hope was that objective relativism was compatible with realism while avoiding dualism and idealism. It claimed things themselves are relative. The view eventually disappeared. This article examines this neglected doctrine, not to determine its truth, but its nature. What kind of theory was it, what could it claim to accomplish, and what could it not? Some of its proponents regarded it as a naturalistic metaphysics, but this is problematic. This topic is suggestive for the formulation of a naturalism that rejects physicalism yet is compatible with science and realism.
Moral Sense in Different Senses
Authors: Smith Steven G.
Published: October 2023

To understand the internal structure of moral positions and the nature of moral disagreements, it would be useful to have a “moral sense” model of our different types of moral sensitivity, from our relatively spontaneous friendliness to our appreciation for traditional community norms, ideal ethical norms, and spiritual appeals to ultimate concern. After the first round of modern moral sense theory in Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, and Edwards, most discussions of the moral sense concept have centered on general theses about moral value (objective or subjective, rational or emotional) without attending to this complexity. Even though the familiar positions in these discussions are not reconcilable on the plane of ethical theory, they need not be seen as simply antagonistic. Working with clearly differentiated senses of both “moral” and “sense,” this article refashions “moral sense theory” as a way of placing the insights of the classic moral sense theories, ethical rationalism, and a distinctly spiritual sensibility in a conceptually stable and empirically more discriminating order. The article also suggests strengthening the realist premise of moral sensing by invoking the model of a game player’s operational sense of how things are going in pursuit of a game’s objectives.

Research on Prediction of Liver Disease Based on Machine Learning Models
Authors: Lu Jiajun
Published: October 2023

Liver disease is a disease that has attracted much attention in the world. Liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer are the common causes of death in the world. Many liver diseases have no obvious symptoms in the early stage of onset, so they are easily overlooked by people. Treatment for liver illnesses is crucial and relies heavily on early diagnosis and management. This study assessed the effectiveness of various machine learning approaches for the identification of liver disease due to the high cost and complexity of the diagnostic process. This research used five machine learning models to predict the presence of liver disease based on a patient's medical records using an Indian liver patient record dataset. The dataset was prepared for model training through data preprocessing and analysis, including handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and normalizing features. Five machine learning algorithms were evaluated, with Random Forest emerging as the highest performing model with an accuracy of 73.56% on the test set. This study contributes to the field by demonstrating the potential of machine learning to accurately predict liver disease, aiding in early diagnosis and treatment.

Is Nativity Threatened by Drugs, Alcohol and Prostitution? A Retrospection of ‘Native-Girl Syndrome’ in Select Canadian Works
Authors: S Nisha , S Patchainayagi
Published: October 2023

Canada, the land of wilderness, has a history that is rich in culture, heritage, tradition, and spiritual practices. The indigenous people who have lived there for several centuries have been uprooted and alienated from their lands post colonisation. Outsmarted by technology and the ‘civilization’ of the colonisers, the once-majority of the indigenous people become minorities in their own country. Among the natives, indigenous women are subjected to all forms of violence and are left highly vulnerable at the hands of vicious colonisers. The native women have been forced to endure physical, mental, and sexual abuse, all of which goes against the values associated with them in a native community. The majority of the native women go through what is called the ‘native girl syndrome’ that draws attention to the aftermath of the above-mentioned malicious acts of subjecting them to drugs, alcohol, prostitution, and finally suicide. This concept is further illustrated by analysing three Canadian works of different genres – a novel named In Search of April Raintree, an autobiography named Halfbreed, and a play named In Care. The paper addresses how these literary works are representations of Native women who have endured all of these and more at the merciless hands of the colonisers, and questions whether the colonisers have succeeded in disrupting the nativity with their new interventions such as drugs and alcohol.

Published: October 2023

The article considers the history of outstanding works of classical drama in the history of world word art in the framework of the poetics of tragedy in the plays of W. Shakespeare "Antony and Cleopatra", M. Auezov "Enlik-Kebek". In the story-compositional line of the plays the stable social nature of the tragic conflicts, the fundamental nature of the heroes, the text analysis of the individual tasks of the characters was carried out.In the plays, scientific conclusions are drawn about the contradictions between historical figures and members of their social environment in accordance with the laws of the philosophy of life. W. Shakespeare's tragedies" Antony and Cleopatra", M. Auezov's" Enlik-Kebek " are consistently focused on the reality of feelings of love with each other, the the nature of contradictions caused by incompatibility with the household environment, the views of representatives of different social environment, dialogues, monologues in plays, etc. It is consistent with the texts of the plays that the injustice is finally revealed through the monologues of the main characters, and that the virtues flourish with the character of universal humanism. In the research, scientific-theoretical and methodological substantiations of basic research devoted to the poetics of tragedy were harmoniously used.

Evidence that Attitudinal Self-Justification (not Self-Refutation) Enhances
Intellectual Humility
Authors:   Palm Beach State
            College, Dwyer Brianna , Stella John , Fernandes Nicole
Published: October 2023

Previous research has shown that the dispositional trait of intellectual humility
(IH) predicts increased tolerance to opposing perspectives and beliefs. In the current
study, we reasoned that the relationship might also work in the reverse direction, i.e.,
that critiquing one’s position on a contentious issue might enhance IH. To evaluate this
hypothesis, we prompted participants to declare their position on a potentially divisive
social issue (specifically, whether to allocate scarce medical resources to
nonvaccinated COVID-19 patients) and then randomly assigned them to either contradict
their position, justify their position, or engage in an unrelated writing exercise.
Contrary to our hypothesis, we found that participants who justified their belief
reported higher levels of IH than participants who contradicted it. In light of this
unexpected and somewhat counterintuitive result, we argue that the intellectually humble
mindset is fortified under conditions of minimal self-threat as opposed to threatening
forms of self-examination.
The Value of Honor Society Participation: Is There a Relationship Between Honor
Society Participation and Belief in Psychological Myths?
Authors:   College of Western
            Idaho, Werner Savannah , Sargent Andrew , Harris Val
Published: October 2023

Psychological myths have become so widespread in both the general public as well
as higher education undergraduate communities that it has been damaging to the
psychology field (Gaze, 2014; Kowalski & Taylor, 2009; Meinz et al., 2022). Factors
such as education, belief in psychology as a science, and their confidence in their myth
beliefs (myth confidence) have previously been examined in relation to myth endorsement
(Bensley & Lilienfeld, 2015; Richardson & Lacroix, 2021). However, there has
been no previous research focusing on the connection between honor society membership
and myth belief. The present study examined whether honor society participation could
predict to myth belief. To better understand be-lief in psychological misconceptions,
this study also measured the participants’ belief in psychology as a science and
confidence in myth beliefs. Understanding myth belief predictors may help psychologists
mitigate the spread of psychological myths. A total of 972 participants from 2-year
colleges across the United States were recruited to take a survey regarding
psychological myths. We compared myth belief, belief in psychology as a science, and
myth score confidence between two groups: honor society members (N = 129) and non-honor
society members (N = 807). Non-honor society members identified significantly fewer
myths than honors society members, were less confident when correctly identifying myths
than honor society members and had lower belief in psychology as a science than honor
society members. These findings suggest that honor society membership may be a predictor
of myth detection. This finding is possibly due to honor society eligibility
requirements, such as grades and credits taken. Our results may be useful in developing
academic interventions to prevent psychological myth belief.

Misinformation has become a pervasive issue in society. In relation to human
behavior and cognitive processes, psychological myths can have detrimental effects by
distorting our perceptions. This study employed correlational and regression analyses
with 86 community college students in Southern California to examine the relationships
between sociodemographic factors, belief in psychological myths, as well as the
relationship between belief strength on reflective and critical thinking measures.
Correlational analyses revealed significant associations between belief in psychological
myths and identification with various sociodemographic factors. Findings suggest that
certain demographic characteristics may be associated with stronger inclination to
believe in psychological misconceptions. There was no relationship between our measure
of critical thinking and endorsement of psychological myths. Results from this study
suggest a number of implications for higher education. For example, educators can design
curriculum to specifically address misconceptions, foster critical thinking, and promote
accurate understanding of psychological phenomena. Providing opportunities for critical
thinking in higher education may be beneficial in mitigating misinformation and
cultivating accurate perceptions of human behavior. Findings from the current study
highlight the importance of promoting critical thinking in educational contexts to
combat the spread and perpetuation of myths and misinformation, ultimately leading to a
more informed and discerning society.

Published: October 2023

Objective To investigate fetal growth changes and predictive factors for selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) in patients with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) after fetoscopic laser coagulation (FLC).Methods This retrospective study included twin-pregnant women with fetal TTTS who underwent FLC at our institution between 2011 and 2020. Twin pairs who survived at least 28 days after FLC and at least 28 days after birth were included. A paired t-test was used to compare the mean discordance between the estimated fetal weights at the FLC and the birth weights. The predictive factors for sFGR after FLC were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results A total of 119 eligible pairs of patients who underwent FLC were analyzed. The weight percentile at birth significantly decreased after FLC in the recipients (53.7±30.4 percentile vs. 43.7±28.0 percentile; P<0.001), but increased in the donors (11.5±17.1 percentile vs. 20.7±22.8 percentile; P<0.001). Additionally, the mean weight discordance of twin pairs significantly decreased after FLC (23.9%±12.7% vs. 17.3%±15.7%; P<0.001). After FLC, Quintero stage ≥3, pre-FLC sFGR, abnormal cord insertion, and post-FLC abnormal umbilical artery Doppler (UAD) were all significantly higher in the sFGR group than the non-sFGR group. The prediction model using these variables indicated that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.898.Conclusion The recipient weight percentile decreased, whereas donor growth increased, resulting in reduced weight discordance after FLC. The Quintero stage, pre-FLC sFGR, and post-FLC abnormal UAD were useful predictors of sFGR after FLC in TTTS.

Published: October 2023

This article examines the significant role of interfaith dialogue in facilitating cooperation between countries, promoting peace, and influencing foreign policy. This research uses qualitative methods with data collected through primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with diplomats, religious leaders, and community figures involved in the interfaith dialogue process in the context of international diplomacy. Secondary data is collected from sources such as diplomatic reports, international agreements, and relevant academic publications. Through concrete examples such as peace agreements in various conflicts, interfaith dialogue has proven effective in reducing religious tensions and supporting reconciliation between communities. However, challenges such as religious conflict, the politicization of religion, and the influence of globalization are also present in efforts to facilitate this dialogue. Therefore, this article underlines the importance of carrying out interfaith dialogue carefully, based on the principles of neutrality, respect for beliefs, and mutual understanding, to achieve the goals of international diplomacy and global peace in this era of globalization.

In this study, it was aimed to examine the opinions of university students regarding distance
education before and during the pandemic. This research was designed as a qualitative case
study. The participants in the research included 64 students, 37 of whom were enrolled before the
pandemic, and 27 during the pandemic period. They were all students at the Faculty of Education
of a state university in Turkey and were enrolled in the "Open and Distance Learning" course
during the fall and spring semesters of the 2019-2020 academic year. To collect data for this study,
researchers used a form consisting of open-ended questions. The study found that university
students experienced a greater lack of a social environment during the pandemic period. They
also encountered more technical problems and faced shortages of digital tools compared to the
pre-pandemic period. Furthermore, unlike the previous period, university students reported that
they had less personal time, experienced issues with measurement and evaluation, had prolonged
screen time, experienced unplanned distance education, lacked active participation, did not
receive immediate feedback, and had difficulty managing their studies. As a result of the research,
it was determined that there were more positive opinions about distance education before the
pandemic and more negative opinions during the pandemic period. Additionally, this study
highlights the differences between distance education and emergency remote teaching

Published: October 2023

This study investigated labor productivity in meat and milk/dairy production within single and multi-household management patterns, based on primary data collected from 156 randomly selected herder households in Maqu County, Tibetan Plateau. The results showed that in the rotational grazing system, herder households in both single and multi-household management patterns achieved higher labor productivity for meat production (70.36 Kg/man-day and 51.21 Kg/man-day, respectively) compared to the overall study households (40.89 Kg/man-day). In contrast, within the continuous grazing system, the single-household management pattern recorded lower labor productivity for meat production (23.04 Kg/man-day). Significantly, regional variations in the distance between pastures and market centers led herder households in the single-household management pattern within the continuous grazing system to achieve superior labor productivity for milk and dairy production (19.74 $/man-day) compared to the overall study households (15.44 $/man-day). In the rotational grazing system, labor productivity for milk and dairy production stood at 12.63 $/man-day for the single-household management pattern and 8.30 $/man-day for the multi-household management pattern. These findings underscore the complexities associated with achieving high labor productivity simultaneously in both meat and milk/dairy production within the same grassland management pattern. While the multi-household management pattern shows promise in reducing labor inputs, it also grapples with challenges in achieving substantial production levels for meat and milk/dairy products. To address these challenges, policymakers should consider follow-up measures that prioritize the simultaneous enhancement of meat and milk/dairy production within the multi-household management pattern. Special attention should be given to reducing the distance between herder households and market centers to facilitate the sale of milk/dairy products. Simply advocating for the broader adoption of the multi-household management pattern may fall short without addressing these production-related hurdles.

Corn is one of the most important agricultural crops in the world, however, it can be affected by numerous phytophagous insects that causing economic losses in production. Diceraeus melacanthus belongs to the complex of pests that attack maize. The objective of this work was to evaluate 17 maize genotypes regarding the effects of antixenosis resistance to the stink bug D. melacanthus. The experiments were carried out in a greenhouse with maize plants in stage V2 and adult stink bugs. Bioassays of attractiveness and food preference were carried out, in addition to evaluating physical and morphological factors of the plants, such as tissue hardness, number of punctures and colorimetric factors. Genotypes 30A37, IAC 8390, Defender, NS 77 and Supremo Tg were the ones that expressed the greatest antixenotic effects in tests free choice and no-choice, among these Defender and Supremo Tg due to possible morphological causes such as plant tissue hardness. Although the IAC 8390 genotype also presents great potential for resistance, it was not possible to attribute its causes, so more studies should be conducted to evaluate the possible chemical constituents that give them this characteristic.

The person has the right to obtain the necessary health care, whether by providing the necessary medicine or whoever provides it. This service has known a great development throughout the ages until it reached its highest levels and is known today as these last medical services. Which despite the advantages they provide for the benefit of the human being, especially since medical waste is not like all waste, but rather consists of toxic chemical and metallic substance, as it may also contain tools and sharp metals that are dangerous to the environment and living organisms.
A Study on Stress Management Strategies of Students

Published: October 2023

When a person encounters difficulties with their social and environmental well-being, they suffer stress, which can lead to a number of ailments. Since their lives are currently undergoing so many changes, the adolescent years are extremely important. They are assumed to be elite society members. As a result, they must develop their stress management skills if they want to lead a healthy lifestyle once they are in society. When a child approaches adolescence, they want to get to know lots of new people, events, and issues in addition to adapting to new environments and lifestyles. They live under a great deal of pressure. Understanding the pressure points among them and how they managed the pressure may therefore be important. Stress was discovered to be strongly correlated with academic tests and career exploration. Furthermore, such stress frequently leads to behavioral, physical, and psychological problems. This study addresses stress management techniques and its causes in adolescents. Students, researchers, academics, professionals, and counseling facilities will all profit from the findings.

Lithospheric extension leads to rift formation and may continue to the point of breakup, with oceanic ridge initiation and the formation of two conjugate rifted margins. In some settings, extension can cease, and the rift may be abandoned. These so-called failed rifts archive snapshots of early phases of deformation, with geometries that may help better constrain the parameters that can prevent a rift from reaching breakup, such as lithospheric rheology, thermal state, rift opening direction and rate, inheritance. This contribution summarizes a study of the Norwegian Continental Shelf which includes the North Sea Rift and the Møre and Vøring rifted margins. We proceeded to the interpretation of a new dataset of deep penetrating seismic reﬂection proﬁles and worked at the regional scale, deliberately ignoring local particularities, to focus on the large-scale structural picture. The aim is to list architectural similarities and diﬀerences between the failed rift and the successful rifted margins. Our mapping shows that the North Sea structural geometries and basement seismic facies are very similar to the observations listed for the adjacent Møre and Vøring rifted margins. Various types of tectonic structures are observed, from thick anastomosing shear zones possibly evolving into core-complex geometries, to composite large-scale detachment faults and standard high-angle normal faults. These are categorized into ﬁve classes and interpreted as exemplifying the rift tectonic evolution through distinct generations of deformation structures that can activate, de-activate and re-activate. Based on these observations, rift failure dynamics are discussed, and it is proposed that the North Sea rift abandonment may not be related to pre-rift local conditions but rather to the ability to initiate speciﬁc tectonic structures such distal breakaway complexes.
