TOURIST ATTRACTIVENESS OF GEOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL OBJECTS OF PRIGORGAN PRECARPATHIAN
Authors: Bayrak Galyna , Manko Andriy
Published: April 2022

Geological, geological-geomorphological, geomorphological and hydrological-geomorphological tourist attractions of the Prigorgan Precarpathian are characterized. They are mostly connected with Boryslav-Pokut (Internal) deflection zone, in which due to tectonic thrusts from the Carpathians flysch formations, massive conglomerates, sandstones come to the surface. Geological attractions are unique and typical outcrops of rocks, which reveal the internal structure and history of geological development of the Earth. Unique is the Pniv section of rocks in the form of folds, which reflects the possibility of traps for the accumulation of oil and gas layers. Other sections present rocks of different ages and lithological-facies composition of the local (Carpathian) stratigraphic scale.
A notable attraction is the mud volcano from village Starunia which has been awarded the status of a geological monument. Geological and geomorphological attractions include typical or unique landforms in which the section of rocks is revealed and which have cognitive value. These are the terraces of the Prut, in which the root flysch incisions are revealed; mountain tops – observation points, from which the landscape of the Prigorgan Precarpathians opens and geological outcrops are present; rocks of massive rocks – local attractions, some of which, for example, Manyavsky Blessed Stone, have religious significance.
Geomorphological tourist attractions include the leveled surfaces of the Precarpathians – Krasna and Loeva, which reflect the stage of geological development of the Carpathians. Presentable geomorphological objects are powerful pre-Carpathian rivers with strata of Quaternary pebbles and manifestations of modern channel processes. Hydrological-geomorphological objects are low waterfalls, of which there are about a dozen in the region and which cut through massive sandstones, conglomerates or flysch deposits.
The attractiveness of the described geological and geomorphological objects of the Prigorgan Precarpathians has been assessed. The evaluation criteria were popularity, proximity to highways, cognitive value, size, landscape. Of the 27 objects, 8 have high, 13 medium and 6 low attractiveness. The described geotourism attractions have scientific, educational, environmental and recreational significance. It is advisable to involve them in the system of tourist routes of the Carpathian region.
Key words: geotourism; geological, geomorphological, hydrological, complex attractions; Prigorgan Precarpathian.

Making thermodynamic models of mixtures predictive by machine learning: matrix completion of pair interactions
Authors: Jirasek Fabian , Bamler Robert , Fellenz Sophie , Bortz Michael , Kloft Marius , Mandt Stephan , Hasse Hans
Published: April 2022

Predictive models of thermodynamic properties of mixtures are paramount in chemical engineering and chemistry. Classical thermodynamic models are successful in generalizing over (continuous) conditions like temperature and concentration. On the other hand, matrix completion methods (MCMs) from machine learning successfully generalize over (discrete) binary systems; these MCMs can make predictions without any data for a given binary system by implicitly learning commonalities across systems. In the present work, we combine the strengths from both worlds in a hybrid approach. The underlying idea is to predict the pair-interaction energies, as they are used in basically all physical models of liquid mixtures, by an MCM. As an example, we embed an MCM into UNIQUAC, a widely-used physical model for the Gibbs excess energy. We train the resulting hybrid model in a Bayesian machinelearning framework on experimental data for activity coefficients in binary systems of 1146 components from the Dortmund Data Bank. We thereby obtain, for the first time, a complete set of UNIQUAC parameters for all binary systems of these components, which allows us to predict, in principle, activity coefficients at arbitrary temperature and composition for any combination of these components, not only for binary but also for multicomponent systems. The hybrid model even outperforms the best available physical model for predicting activity coefficients, the modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) model.

Perubahan sistem pemerintahan sentralisasi ke desentralisasi yang tertuang dalam UU 22 tahun 1999 tentang otonomi daerah, kemudian direvisi menjadi UU 32 tahun 2004 tentang pemerintahan daerah berdampak terhadap pemekaran wilayah diberbagai daerah. Dalam upaya pemekaran provinsi dan kabupaten baru, tarik-menarik antara kelompok yang setuju dan tidak setuju terhadap pemekaran daerah sebagai akibat dari otonomi daerah meningkatkan suhu dan iklim politik di tingkat lokal. Melalui pendekatan teoritis otonomi daerah dan konsep pemekaran wilayah serta metodologi kualitatif review literatur, didapatkan suatu pemahaman yang mendalam terkait kondisi pemekaran daerah di Indonesia. Problematik yang terjadi baik seblum dimekarkan atau pasca pemekaran adalah pendapatan daerah yang dihasilkan tak sebanding dengan kesejahteraan warga di wilayahnya. Isu kesejahteraan dan pembangunan daerah menjadi modus elit untuk mendorong pemekaran daerah. Tantangan kedepan pemekaran wilayah perlu dilakukan moratorium kembali, agar semangat pemekaran wilayah di Indonesia tidak terkontaminasi oleh kepentingan politik sesaat

Published: April 2022

Otonomi Daerah dikonsepkan sebagai pemberian hak dan wewenang serta kewajiban daerah otonom untuk mengatur dan mengurus sendiri urusan pemerintahan dan kepentingan masyarakat setempat dalam sistem Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. Dalam melaksanakan otonomi daerah harus memperhatikan asas otonomi daerah yaitu desentralisasi, dekonsentrasi dan tugas pembantuan. Otonomi daerah diberlakukan untuk mempercepat pembangunan, meningkatkan daya saing, mempercepat kesejahteraan, mengembangkan nilai-nilai kedaerahan dan lain sebagainya. Pada konteks inilah pembentukan daerah jangan sampai menjadi penghambat tujuan mulia dari otonomi daerah. Apalagi jika pembentukan daerah hanya untuk melayani peluang terjadinya bureaucratic and political rent-seeking, yakni kesempatan untuk memperoleh keuntungan dana, baik dari pemerintah pusat maupun dari penerimaan daerah sendiri sehingga melupakan kesejahteraan rakyat.Pada tulisan ini difokuskan pada pembahasan efektifitas pembentukan daerah dalam upaya mendukung otonomi daerah di Indonesia. Pendekatan efektifitas dimaksudkan untuk melahirkan kehati-hatian dalam memberikan persetujuan daerah otonomi baru. Dengan penelusuran ini maka akan bisa dilihat sejauh mana faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi efektifitas daerah yang sudah terbentuk untuk dijadikan evaluasi kedepepannya.
The influence of intrinsic reward on word learning in oral and written contexts
Authors: Zaka Haniya , Selvarajah Bairavi , Evans Samuel , Ripolles Pablo , Krishnan Saloni
Published: April 2022

Previous studies show that word learning can be intrinsically rewarding, even the absence of external feedback or incentives. Intrinsic reward activates the brain’s reward-memory circuit, leading to enhanced memory for words people enjoyed learning. However, existing studies have tested word learning through encountering written word forms (i.e., through reading). In this study, we investigate whether word learning triggers intrinsic reward across modalities, focusing on listening, reading, and listening and reading in combination. We find that when words are successfully learned, people report greater levels of enjoyment, regardless of modality. Across modalities, we also find that words with higher enjoyment ratings were remembered better than those with lower enjoyment. Our results demonstrate the relevance of the reward system for language learning, and suggest that the link between words and reward operates on higher-level word representations, rather than on modality-specific ones.

Authors: Yong Faith , Hor Suyin , Carnemolla Phillippa , Gilbert Gwendolyn L
Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe longstanding problem of infection prevention and control (IPC) in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) has been highlighted and seriously exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 among aged care residents is increased by age, comorbidities and the congregate living arrangements, which often also function as healthcare settings. Implementation of IPC practices are intended to protect residents and staff from infectious disease risks, but can also impact on other dimensions of wellbeing and safety. ObjectivesTo identify evidence of effective IPC strategies in RACFs and their impacts on resident or staff safety or wellbeing, during both ‘business as usual’ and infectious disease outbreaks. Methods We will search relevant databases for original research articles, published in 2000 or later, that examine (1) IPC measures and/or (2) infectious disease outbreaks in (3) in residential aged care settings, whilst (4) considering resident and/or staff wellbeing and/or safety. Following Preferred Reporting of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-SCR) and consultation with a university librarian, we have devised a search strategy for review of relevant key articles. One author customised the search strategy for each database (CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science) and reviewed each term before inclusion. After deletion of duplicates, 2-4 reviewers will screen references by title and abstract, then review full texts of selected articles. Items included will be charted with respect to publication details and quality assessment performed. Results will be grouped according to thematic contributions.ResultsSystematic searches began at the end of 2021 and data extraction will progress in early 2022, followed by data analyses and writing. Anticipated conclusions Implementation of IPC practices in RACFs must balance effectiveness, feasibility, and wellbeing and safety of residents and staff. This review will summarise, and identify gaps in, evidence for how best to protect residents and staff from infection in long term aged care settings.

Unsupervised clustering of autonomic temporal networks in clinically distressed and psychologically healthy individuals
Authors: Fisher Aaron Jason , Howe Esther , Zong Zoe Yuxiao
Published: April 2022

The present study recruited psychologically healthy individuals and individuals with clinically-severe Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition diagnoses, including generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and specific phobia. During the course of a structured clinical interview, 200 individuals provided continuous electrocardiogram and impedance cardiography data. Of these N=150 were used for exploratory analyses and N=50 for confirmatory analyses. From these time series, we modeled heart period (i.e. interbeat interval), pre-ejection period, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and respiration rate. The group iterative multiple model estimation (GIMME) model was used to generate group and individual-level network models which, in turn, were used to conduct unsupervised classification of individual-level models into subgroups. Four subgroups were identified, comprising N=22, N=25, N=26, and N=61 individuals, with an additional 16 individuals left unclassified. The subgroup models were then used to estimate directed network models, from which out-degree and in-degree centrality were estimated for each group. Two groups, Group 2 and Group 4 exhibited elevated symptoms of depression and anxiety relative to the remaining sample. However, only one of these, Group 2, exhibited additional physiological risk features, including a significantly elevated average heart rate, and significantly reduced parasympathetic regulation (measured via respiratory sinus arrhythmia). We discuss the implications for utilizing network models for conducting systems-level analyses of physiological systems in clinically-distressed and psychologically healthy individuals.
Intensive Longitudinal Mediation in Mplus
Authors: McNeish Daniel , MacKinnon David
Published: April 2022

Much of the existing longitudinal mediation literature focuses on panel data where relatively few repeated measures are collected over a relatively broad timespan. However, technological advances in data collection (e.g., smartphones, wearables) have led to a proliferation of short duration, densely collected longitudinal data in behavioral research. These intensive longitudinal data differ in structure and focus relative to traditionally collected panel data. As a result, existing methodological resources do not necessarily extend to nuances present in the recent influx of intensive longitudinal data and designs. In this tutorial, we first cover potential limitations of traditional longitudinal mediation models to accommodate unique characteristics of intensive longitudinal data. Then, we discuss how recently developed dynamic structural equation models (DSEM) may be well-suited for mediation modeling with intensive longitudinal data and can overcome some of the limitations associated with traditional approaches. We describe four increasingly complex intensive longitudinal mediation models: (1) stationary models where the indirect effect is constant over time and people, (2) person-specific models where the indirect effect varies across people, (3) dynamic models where the indirect effect varies across time, and (4) cross-classified models where the indirect effect varies across time and people. We apply each model to a running example featuring a mobile health intervention designed to improve health behavior of individuals with binge eating disorder. In each example, we provide annotated Mplus code and interpretation of the output to guide empirical researchers through mediation modeling with this increasingly popular type of longitudinal data.
Associations Between Repetitive Negative Thinking and Habituation of Defensive Responding Within and Between Sessions
Authors: Funkhouser Carter J. , Katz Andrea C. , Meissel Emily E. E. , Stevens Elizabeth A , Weinberg Anna , Nabb Carver , Shankman Stewart
Published: April 2022

Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a transdiagnostic risk factor for internalizing psychopathology, and theoretical models suggest that RNT may maintain symptoms by interfering with psychophysiological habituation. The present study therefore examined associations between RNT and habituation within and between study sessions. Community members (N=86) completed a habituation task involving exposure to acoustic probes at up to five sessions spaced seven days apart on average. Eyeblink startle response was measured using the electromyography startle magnitude. Self-reported anxiety was assessed before and after the habituation task at each session. Multilevel growth curve modeling indicated that RNT was associated with a higher ‘floor’ (i.e., asymptote) of startle responding as evidenced by reduced within-session startle habituation at later sessions. Results suggest that RNT may disrupt startle habituation and are consistent with theoretical models proposing that RNT sustains physiological activation to support avoidance of negative emotional contrasts or perceived future threats.

Published: April 2022

Although virtual reality (VR) usage has become widespread in the last decade, its adoption has been hampered by experiences of user discomfort known as cybersickness. The present study, in line with the “2020 cybersickness R&D agenda”, sought to provide a broad examination of the cybersickness phenomenon, assessing its pervasiveness, latent trajectories, impacts on the VR experience, and predictor variables. The study was composed of 92 participants living in the Dominican Republic with ages ranging from 18 to 52 years (M = 26.22), who experienced a 10-min VR immersion in two environments designed for psychotherapy. The results indicated that cybersickness was pervasive, with 65.2% of the participants experiencing it, and 23.9% severely. Additionally, the latent trajectories of cybersickness were positive and curvilinear, with large heterogeneity across individuals. Cybersickness also had a substantive negative impact on the user experience and the intentions to adopt the VR technology. Finally, motion sickness susceptibility, cognitive stress, and recent headaches uniquely predicted greater severity of cybersickness, while age was negatively related. These combined results highlight the critical role that cybersick- ness plays on the VR experience and underscore the importance of finding solutions to the problems, such as technological advancements or special usage protocols for the more susceptible individuals.

Attenuation of Oxidative Stress and Cognitive Impairment in Cadmium Chloride-Exposed Wistar Rats Pre-treated with Ethanolic Turmeric Root Extract
Authors: Enogieru Adaze Bijou , Inegbedion Gabriel Osemudiamen
Published: April 2022

Background: Turmeric (Curcuma longa), belonging to the Zingiberaceae family, is a widely used spice in cuisines of African, Asian and other countries globally. Despite the enormous pharmacological benefits of turmeric, there is very little experimental evidence to demonstrate its protective activity against cadmium-induced neurotoxicity. Accordingly, this study is aimed at investigating such activity in Wistar rats and its possible mechanisms of action. Methods: Y-maze and Novel object recognition tests were utilized to evaluate memory impairments while antioxidants activity and lipid peroxidation were evaluated to outline the antioxidant mechanism of action following pre-treatment of rats with ethanolic turmeric root extract (200 mg/kg body weight) 1 hour before cadmium administration for 21 consecutive days. In addition, the histology of the cerebrum and hippocampus was investigated to determine possible anatomical alterations across experimental groups. Results: The ethanolic extract of turmeric root at the dose of 200 mg/kg significantly improved the memory of rats and protected against the impairments induced by cadmium. In addition, the extract significantly increased cerebral and hippocampal antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, GPx and CAT), decreased lipid peroxidation (MDA) and protected against the degenerative changes observed in the cerebrum and hippocampus of rats treated with cadmium alone. Conclusion: Taken together, these findings suggest that the ethanolic extract of turmeric root protected against the cognitive impairments induced by cadmium possibly through the attenuation of the oxidative damaging activity of cadmium.

Authors: Noviyanto Noviyanto , Ekasari Prita
Published: April 2022

Dosen tetap dan dosen yang mempunyai jabatan fungsional mutlak harus dimiliki oleh setiap Perguruan Tinggi di Indonesia dalam rangka memenuhi ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan. Pasal 48 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 14 Tahun 2005 tentang Guru dan Dosen menyebutkan bahwa jenjang jabatan akademik dosen tetap terdiri atas asisten ahli, lektor, lektor kepala, dan profesor. Dosen tetap harus menaati aturan tersebut dengan melakukan pengajuan usulan jenjang jabatan fungsional jika sudah memenuhi syarat, disamping itu Perguruan Tinggi tempat dosen bertugas juga harus proaktif mendorong dosen untuk memenuhi kewajibannya. Banyak dosen dari berbagai perguruan tinggi, yang walaupun sudah memenuhi syarat, tapi tidak segera berinisiatif mengajukan usulan jabatan fungsional mereka. Dalam pengelompokkan data dosen tetap dan dosen yang mempunyai jabatan fungsional menggunakan teknik data mining metode k-means clustering. Data diambil dari dari link https://pddikti.kemdikbud.go.id/. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah cluster jumlah dosen tetap dan dosen yang mempunyai jabatan fungsional kedalam 3 cluster. Terdapat 15 perguruan tinggi swasta (PTS) dilingkungan LLDikti III dengan cluster jumlah dosen tetap dan dosen yang mempunyai jabatan fungsional terbanyak, selanjutnya cluster tingkat sedang sebanyak 45 PTS dan dengan cluster terendah adalah 228 PTS

Teknologi yang semakin maju memudahkan siapa saja menafaatkannya untuk berbagai kegiatan, seperti kegiatan perkuliahan. Terlebih di masa pandemi Covid-19 yang terjadi sejak tahun 2019 hingga sampai penelitian ini dilakukan. Covid-19 atau yang dulunya disebut dengan SARS-CoV2  merupakan sebuah wabah pneumonia yang berasl dari virus. Virus ini mulai terdengar pertama kali di Wuhan, Cina pada Desember 2019 (Ciotti et al., 2020). Kegiatan perkuliahan dilakukan secara daring untuk mencegah penyebaran virus ini. Salah satu teknologi yang banyak digunakan ketika pandemi Covid-19 adalah video conference. Dengan video conference pertemuan dapat dilakukan meski orang yang hadir saling berjauhan. Zoom merupakan satu aplikasi berbasis cloud yang saat ini sering digunakan sebagai communication video (Azkiya, 2021). Zoom adalah satu aplikasi video conference yang ramai saat ini digunakan dalam berbagai kegiatan, termasuk kegiatan perkuliahan. Karena hal tersebut penting untuk mengetahui seberapa besar penerimaan mahasiswa terhadap aplikasi Zoom yang mereka gunakan untuk perkuliahan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Technology Acceptance Model atau TAM yang terdiri dari tiga konstruk yaitu Perceived of Usefulnes, Perceived Ease of Use dan Acceptance of Tehcnology. Data didapatkan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner dengan skala likert 1 sampai dengan 5. Data yang telah diperoleh lalu dihitung dengan menggunakan metode Structural Equation Model atau SEM yang terdiri dari perhitungan Outer Model dan Inner Model. SEM adalah teknik analisa yang memungkingkan pengujian rangkaian hubungan simultan (Gardenia, 2018). Kesimpulannya didapatkan hasil dengan mengambil nilai R-Square, konstruk pada metode TAM mampu mengukur sebanyak 63% studi kasus penerimaan mahasiswa terhadap Zoom sebagai media perkuliahan.
Elementi Kantove transcendentalne estetike u Einsteinovoj teoriji relativnosti
Authors: Ćuk Barbara , Abou Aldan Damjan
Published: April 2022

Einstein je od rane životne dobi bio upoznat s Kritikom čistoga uma, a i kasnije se je vraćao Kantovim tekstovima. Na temelju istraživanja njihova pristupa spoznaji i njihove argumentacije o prostoru i vremenu, tvrdimo da obojica zastupaju određeni oblik sinteze racionalizma i empirizma, čime su naša istraživanja u suglasju s već objavljenim. Ipak, Einstein drugačije tumači apriorno, iako ga ne odbacuje. U Einsteinovu bavljenju prostorom i vremenom kao prostor– vremenom moguće je također čitati podudarnost s Kantovom filozofijom, koja se sastoji u elementima spontaniteta i sintetičnosti spoznaje te u izdvojenosti prostora i vremena od ostalih kategorija i njihovoj združenosti u činu osjetilnoga percipiranja.
Teološko–bioetički problemi medicinske etike u krizi Covid–19
Authors: Šehić Damir
Published: April 2022

Pandemija Covid–19 uvela je “novo normalno” i u medicinsku etiku, kojoj je u fokusu uvijek bio čovjek kao vrhovna vrijednost, a ne njegova bolest, te je protokol preventivnoga i kurativnoga djelovanja medicine redefinirao načela. Obvezno masovno cijepljenje eksperimentalnim znanstveno neistraženim cjepivom i stvaranje hijerarhije ljudskih života ugrozili su održivost načela autonomije, neškodljivosti, korisnosti i pravednosti. Otvorena pitanja održivosti medicinskih načela u takvim okolnostima postaju izazov medicinskim etičarima.
Teologija milosrđa u enciklikama Redemptor hominis i Dives in misericordia Ivana Pavla II.
Authors: Stanić Stjepanka
Published: April 2022

Sveti papa Ivan Pavao II., kojega je papa Franjo nazvao Ivan Pavao Veliki, ubraja se među najvažnije suvremene katoličke filozofe i teologe, ali i pape u povijesti Crkve. Papa Ivan Pavao II. svjedoči kako pisanom riječi tako još više životom da je Bog milosrđe i da je čovjek plod milosrdne ljubavi. Stoga, kada govorimo o teologiji milosrđa kod Ivana Pavla II., smatram da poseban naglasak trebamo staviti na enciklike Redemptor hominis i Dives in misericordia, u kojima se ocrtava sva ljepota teološko–antropološkoga razmišljanja o ethosu milosrđa. Članak želi istaknuti ideju ethosa milosrđa, koji Ivan Pavao II. vidi kao mogućnost kulture istinskoga napretka naspram ideologijama koje čovjeka i njegov bitak svode na običan proizvod, kojim je, ovisno o interesima pojedinaca ili skupina, moguće trgovati i manipulirati. Želimo zapravo pokazati da je poruka milosrđa koju nam je papa Ivan Pavao II. ostavio aktualna i danas. Štoviše, upravo danas, u vrijeme pandemije COVID–19, u vrijeme egzodusa tolikih izbjeglica i različitih previranja na društveno–socijalnoj i političko–ekonomskoj sceni svijeta i posebno Europe poruka milosrđa i ethos milosrđa pokazuju se kao jedini put prosperiteta i mira među narodima.
