The paper provides data from the comprehensive studies of the levels and distribution pattern of radionuclide contamination in the ‘bottom sediments/soil-to-water-to-plants’ of water bodies at the Telkem site of the Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS). Research objects were water-filled craters Telkem-1 and Telekm-2 that resulted from excavation explosions. As part of these studies, sediments, soil, water, plants were duplicately sampled, in which the content of manmade 90Sr, 239+240Pu and g-emitting radionuclides were determined. As a result, a high level of radioactive contamination is currently found to persist in the ecosystem of water bodies at the Telkem site both for sediments ( 137Cs, 241Am, 90Sr and 239+240Pu) and water ( 90Sr). Based upon findings, the distribution coefficient (Kd) for the ‘sediments-to-water’ system and the concentration ratio (CRs-b) were calculated for the ‘sediments/soil-to-plants’ system. The distribution coefficient Kd for 90Sr averages 10, for 239+240Pu – 3.7·105 . Plants’ capacity to accumulate from sediments and soil of aquatic ecosystems at the Telkem site, with respect to man-made radionuclides, decreases in the series CRs-b 90Sr > CRs-b 60Co > CRs-b 137Cs > CRs-b 152Eu > CRs-b 241Am > CRs-b 239+240Pu.

Published: January 2025

The Impulse Graphite Reactor (IGR) is a unique nuclear facility in the world. The core of the research reactor is a stack of uranium-graphite blocks (fuel elements) enriched to 90 wt. % in 235U isotope. As part of the project on conversion of the IGR reactor to low-enriched uranium fuel, the specialists of the Institute of Atomic Energy (IAE) studied the possibility of immobilizing the first core in a cement matrix.

 Research into the immobilization process included both the formation of technical requirements for the uranium-graphite fuel matrix, determined by the conversion conditions, international and national standards, and the selection of the composition and ratios of the matrix components.

The paper presents the results of an analysis of modern achievements in the field of immobilization of radioactive waste and irradiated graphite, the formation of matrix acceptability criteria for the immobilization of highly enriched IGR fuel, and methods for determining whether the matrix properties correspond to the established criteria. The matrix compositions for immobilization of the irradiated fuel of the IGR reactor were selected experimentally, based on such characteristics of the cement slurry as bleed water, viscosity, setting time, uniformity of volume change, homogeneity and strength of the samples. To determine the above characteristics, the methods used to determine the characteristics of cement slurries were used and improved. They have proven their suitability.

The requirements used to select the composition of matrices for immobilization of spent uranium-graphite fuel of the IGR reactor turned out to be applicable and sufficiently constructive, and can also be recommended for solving issues of selecting the consistency of matrices for immobilization of other types of RW.

Published: January 2025

This paper presents the results of a study of radiation defect creation processes in Calcium Fluoride single crystals irradiated with X-rays, protons, and fast heavy ions of Xe132 and Bi209. The main method of the study is absorption spectroscopy. In the optical absorption spectra of CaF2 samples irradiated with different types of ionizing radiation, broad intense absorption bands associated with electron and hole color centers and their aggregates are recorded. The analysis of the optical absorption spectra is performed in the Tauc and Urbach coordinates. The effect of fast heavy ion irradiation on the fundamental absorption edge and on disordering in the anion sublattice of the CaF2 crystal is quantitatively revealed. The nature of the radiation-induced optical absorption in the 9.8 eV region induced by irradiation with Xe132 and Bi209 ions is discussed.

Authors: Kolomiytseva A. V. , Merezhko D. A. , Merezhko M. S.
Published: January 2025

The paper studies the features of martensitic transformation during plastic deformation (uniaxial tension and compression) of austenitic steels 12X18N10T and AISI304 irradiated with thermal neutrons to a fluence of 3.7·1020 n/cm2 . The nickel equivalent and stacking fault energy values for 12X18N10T and AISI304 steels are calculated. It is established that AISI304 steel is more prone to martensitic transformation. The mechanical characteristics of the studied steels under uniaxial tension are determined. It is shown that with similar strength characteristics, the plasticity of irradiated AISI304 steel is twice as high as that of 12X18N10T steel. This fact is due to the more intense martensitic transformation during the plastic deformation of AISI304 steel.

Published: January 2025

The article presents new data on biology and ecology of invasive ichthyofauna of the Middle Irtysh basin on the territory of Pavlodar region. Using the literature data, the species composition of alien species inhabiting the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Irtysh River is summarized. In the Middle Irtysh basin, 15 invasive fish species belonging to 5 families and 13 genera are currently registered. The largest number of species belong to the carp family (9 species or 60%), salmonids include 3 species or 20%, other families are represented by one species. Only three species have acclimatized and entered the fishery in the Middle Irtysh basin: bream, carp (carp) and pikeperch. The share in commercial catches is from 15.7 to 27.7% for bream, from 0.2 to 1.5% for carp and from 0.8 to 1.3% for pikeperch. The largest number of caught bream individuals was registered in backwaters, carp in channels and lakes, pikeperch in Irtysh channels. The data on growth rate of these three fish species with the results of regression analysis are given. Data on the results of introduction of 11 more fish species are briefly summarized. It is concluded that spontaneous introductions sometimes lead to complete reorganization of biocenosis as a result of introduction of predator or food competitor, transfer of dangerous parasites or diseases. Most often, after a small “acclimatization effect” a water body not ready for the press of an introduced species becomes impoverished and becomes unattractive for fishermen and unpromising for commercial fish farming. Given that the problem of alien fish species is a serious environmental problem, its solution requires a comprehensive approach including scientific research, monitoring, management and educational programs.
Enhancing Landmine Detection Using Deep Learning: Leveraging AlexNet for Classification
Authors: T. Kalaichelvi
Published: January 2025

Landmine detection is the biggest challenge today, especially with the explosion of anti-tank and anti-personnel landmines, bombs, and unexploded ordnance. Many countries around the world are at risk from buried landmines. Various techniques automatically detect and recognize subsurface objects. However, they have limitations and must be more reliable when applied to all soils with different mediums to provide accurate results. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) uses electromagnetic signals to identify subsurface objects, and it detects landmines deeper with minimal metallic content than other sensors. Advances in deep learning techniques could revolutionize anti-personnel landmine detection and classification, demonstrating incredible results with high accuracy rates. The paper explores applying the deep learning approach (AlexNet) architecture using simulated GPR data to enhance the identification of landmines and similar underground objects. This study utilizes gprMax software to simulate the GPR data of buried objects. Subsequently, the data is implemented and analyzed within the MATLAB environment. Our findings demonstrate that AlexNet outperforms a standard convolutional neural network (CNN) model, achieving higher accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores in classifying metal pipes, metal tiffin boxes, and plastic tiffin boxes buried underground. It highlights the potential of deep learning for landmine detection using GPR data.

Published: January 2025

Gender detection has become one of the major aspects in Computer Vision applications from security to personalize experience. Recently Deep Learning algorithm using CNN has made significant improvements in Face detection and gender identification. Even though the problems like pose variations, over fitting and miss predictions have been observed. To overcome this drawback hybrid approach of Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is proposed for gender detection using publically available datasets. The proposed deep learning concept uses a MTCNN and CNN-RF algorithm where extraction of features is conducted using CNN followed by RF Classifier enhances the model robustness. The model is trained and tested using three different datasets, CKPlus, KMU-FED, KDEF and TFEID. Pre-processing of the data is done by resizing, contrast stretching and grey level transformation of datasets which are previously sorted in Male and Female labels. Results of Hybrid architecture provided the comparative analysis of different performance parameters. It was found that the model shows nearly same accuracy of 92%. In future the work can be extended for custom dataset for Real-Time prediction of Gender and classify them.

Authors: TUĞCU Hatice , ÖRÇEN Nesrin
Published: January 2025

Barley is one of the most cultivated field crops in the world after wheat, corn and rice. It is an important plant used in animal feeding. Barley production areas have also been affected by the decreasing agricultural areas in recent years. The most traditional solution to reach maximum yield and quality values from a unit area is plant nutrition with chemical or organic fertilizers. The use of organic fertilizers is becoming widespread due to the environmental threat posed by chemical fertilizers. In this regard, organic fertilizers containing humic acid, which are known to have positive effects on plant yield and quality, attract attention. The research was carried out in the 2022-2023 barley production season in order to determine the effective doses of humic acid fertilizers on barley nutrition value. In the trial established according to the split-split block trial design, 3 different varieties and 5 different humic acid doses were applied with 3 replications. While the application of 200 ml per decare was found to be important in terms of protein and oil content, no significant effect was determined on the starch, fiber, hardness, moisture, fatty acid values of the application doses.

Published: January 2025

Public administration is a dynamic discipline that has evolved throughout history under the influence of various scientific fields, primarily social sciences. Its roots trace back to ancient civilizations, and it has significantly developed over centuries. As a scientific discipline and a complex social phenomenon, public administration encompasses sociological, political, legal, organizational, and other characteristics. The emergence and functioning of public administration as a crucial state instrument for law enforcement and ensuring social stability have been significantly influenced by numerous scientific disciplines, particularly political science, law, sociology, economics, and psychology. These disciplines provided the initial impetus and later momentum for the development of specific public administration concepts. Key theoretical approaches to studying public administration emphasize the importance of organizational structures and functionality within social systems. Understanding the historical and theoretical foundations of administration is essential for addressing contemporary challenges and opportunities in public administration. The aim of this paper is to highlight the influences of some key social and technological disciplines on the development of public administration, focusing on understanding how historical changes have shaped modern practices.

Published: January 2025

The authors analyze the new legal institutes in the field of free access to information that were introduced into the legal system of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2023, with the adoption of the Law on Freedom of Access to Information at the Institutional Level of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The subject of the analysis are, first of all, the institute of proactive publication of information and the establishment of the Central Portal of Public Information, the institute of legal and institutional restrictions on access to information, as well as the principle of free access to information. The goal of this paper is to achieve as complete and comprehensive an understanding of the relevant legal institutes as possible, which are, in a certain part or even completely, novel in the positive legal framework related to freedom of access to information. The motives and reasons for which parties submit requests for access to information can be of different nature. The parties in the information access procedure are ordinary citizens, business entities, lawyers and other persons who request access to information for personal or other reasons. Regardless of the motive and reason for which the parties request information from public authorities and regardless of who is a party to the proceedings, the duty and obligation of the administrative body or institution of Bosnia and Herzegovina (public body) is to grant and provide access to the requested information, unless the law foresees restrictions on access to information, as this promotes transparency and accountability of public authorities. The new institutes define a more productive role of the administrative body, the cases of restrictions on access to information are more precisely prescribed.

The market position of business organizations today, in addition to quality requirements, is also defined by the increasingly expressed demands of interested parties to demonstrate the ability to effectively and responsibly manage business in the segment of occupational health and safety protection. Responding to such market demands, organizations increasingly decide to establish a health and safety management system at work, which should ensure the elimination or reduction of health and safety risks for all In the last twenty years, a new concept of weaning drug addicts (psychoactive substances) has appeared in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is carried out in therapeutic communities, and which offers a different approach and treatment program by means of which users can more effectively establish long-term abstinence as the primary or final goal in the fight against. Therapeutic communities as an innovative form of weaning in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in the world, are still not a sufficient subject of research, especially when it comes to human resources, standards, and other parameters that would help us to have a better insight into the statistical data on the number of cured persons or even. This article aims to show some of the possible solutions when it comes to improving services and managing human resources, to achieve the best possible results in the implementation of the treatment itself, referring to current scientific trends in this field.

Published: January 2025

Posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical radiographic syndrome of heterogeneous etiologies characterised by acute neurological symptoms of brain dysfunction with MRI abnormalities, primarily in posterior cerebral white and grey matter. In most cases, symptoms resolve without neurological consequences. The paper reports the case of a 13-year-old teenager who showed hypertension and altered consciousness with status epilepticus at the electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring three days after Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia diagnosis. The only therapy she went through was prednisone. At the diagnosis of PRES hypertension is frequent but not invariable. The hypertensive crisis may precede the neurologic syndrome by 24 hours or longer. In the paediatric population seizures and/or status epilepticus are often the presenting manifestation. Neuroimaging is essential to the diagnosis of PRES; typical findings are bilateral areas of white matter oedema in the posterior cerebral hemispheres, particularly the parieto-occipital regions, but variations do occur. Treatment is a symptomatic and supportive therapy. In many cases, PRES seems to be fully reversible within a period from days to weeks, after removal of the inciting factor and control of the blood pressure. Radiologic improvement is slower than clinical recovery.

Authors: Roy Puja , Bhattacharjee Suraj , Hossain Ansari Md. Sajjad
Published: January 2025

This study provides an overview of the literature on Nano-learning in education, summarizing key historical background theories that have shaped new educational paradigms. We use Nano-learning to accommodate pupils' short attention spans and meet their diverse learning demands. Nano-learning experiences can take the form of information and skill capsules, which serve to recapitulate, understand, or develop subject-specific abilities. During the COVID pandemic, we engaged in self-development and knowledge acquisition through online platforms such as videos, short videos, quizzes, and podcasts. However, some individuals may find longer and complex topics such as math, physics, and chemistry boring. Nano-learning addresses these problems because these quick bursts of knowledge require little time or effort. They may meet the demands of students with short attention spans.

Authors: Favila Tello Antonio , Armas Arévalos Enrique
Published: January 2025

El objetivo del presente trabajo, de alcance descriptivo, es valorar la competitividad internacional del trigo mexicano durante el periodo 2012-2021. Para ello se midieron cuatro indicadores, utilizando datos provistos por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO). Los indicadores seleccionados fueron: el saldo comercial, el Índice de Autosuficiencia Alimentaria (IAA), el Índice de Apertura Comercial (IAC) y la Importancia Relativa en las Exportaciones (IRE). Los resultados indican que el trigo mexicano es poco competitivo en los mercados internacionales, ya que México es profundamente deficitario en el comercio de este bien y altamente dependiente de lo que ocurra en el mercado externo del mismo. Adicionalmente, la producción nacional sólo puede satisfacer alrededor del 48% del abasto nacional. Sin embargo, el país aún es capaz de competir en el mercado del trigo en ciertos países, tales como Argelia, Turquía y Venezuela.

The Essential Morphosyntactic Prerequisites in Natural Language Word-Formation Techniques
Authors: Maaytah Shahab Ahmad Al , Ayobami Joseph Philip , Almajali Ibrahim Abdelfattah
Published: January 2025

It is an indispensable act of human beings to create novel words in their language(s). Morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies the internal structure of words and how words are formed in a language and it accounts for word formation in languages. The open class category, such as nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives, all fall under the open class category (new words can be added). All the world's languages accept the creation of new words in their lexicon. Adequate attention has not yet been paid to the interdependent relationship between Syntax and Morphology in the Yorùbá word-formation system. Therefore, this paper has made an indelible effort to exemplify the essential prerequisites of word formation in a Yorùbá language and also empirically identifies the interdependence between syntax and morphology in the holistic overview of Yorùbá word-formation system. This paper adopted primary and secondary data collection methods to source data. Some native speakers of the standard dialect (Yorùbá) were intentionally selected for structured oral interviews based on their proficiency. Data were also sourced from relevant texts, articles, journals, and so on from libraries and the internet. The Weak Lexicalist Hypothesis (WLH) is also formally employed to showcase the limitation of only morphology in Yorùbá word formation and also opines the acceptability of the morphological and syntactic levels in addressing the holistic view of Yorùbá word-formation system. Given this, various essential morphosyntactic prerequisites have been carefully selected and impeccably analyzed. Such morphosyntactic prerequisites like affixes, reduplication, nominalization through desententialization, and loan words.

Authors: Hassan Susan Abed , Ali Ruqaya Hareth
Published: January 2025

This study develops a derivative model for the Environmental Flow Index (EFI) to evaluate the relationship between urban porosity and environmental flow in high-density urban areas. The model was applied to Sadr City in Baghdad, focusing on the city's unique challenges, such as overcrowding, poor ventilation, and environmental degradation. Using computational simulation tools such as ENVI-MET 5.7 and AutoLISP, the study analyzed environmental variables, including wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, and radiant heat, under two scenarios: the current state with 30% urban porosity and a modified state with 40% porosity.The results demonstrate that increasing urban porosity significantly enhances environmental flow, reflected in improved wind circulation, reduced thermal stress, and better outdoor thermal comfort. For instance, wind speed increased from 2.798 m/s to 6.2361 m/s, while relative humidity decreased by 0.394%, showing a positive correlation with higher porosity levels. The EFI model effectively integrates these variables, offering a standardized and scalable metric for measuring environmental flow. The research contributes valuable insights for urban planners and policymakers, supporting the development of sustainable and livable cities in Baghdad and similar urban contexts.

Endopleura uchi is an important Amazonian species widely used in crafts, cooking and carpentry. The species is also widely used to treat uterine inflammation, intestinal diseases and reduce cholesterol, proving to be a promising field of study for the development of pharmaceuticals and the discovery of biologically active metabolites. Triterpenoids, coumarins and tannins were the secondary metabolites already isolated from the stem bark of the species. The leaves of E. uchi, on the other hand, have not yet been investigated and this work aimed to reveal the chemical potential present in this plant organ. The chemical study resulted in the isolation of three triterpenoids and the trihydroxybenzoic acid glycoside, bergenin. From the natural product bergenin, the pentaacetyl derivative was produced by semi-synthesis. Bergenin and its pentaacetyl derivative were used in phytotoxicity tests against the invasive pasture species Mimosa pudica. Bioassays revealed that the pentaacetylated derivative was the most phytotoxic.

Published: January 2025

Este trabalho investiga, por meio de modelagem numérica baseada no Método dos Elementos Finitos (MEF), o comportamento de ligações de placas de base de pilares tubulares circulares submetidos à compressão axial e ao momento fletor, com e sem enrijecedores. A modelagem foi realizada no software ANSYS utilizando o elemento SHELL63, analisando comparativamente a distribuição de tensões nas placas de base e nos pilares. Os resultados demonstraram que a inclusão de enrijecedores melhora a distribuição de tensões na placa de base, com reduções de até 43% nas tensões, dependendo do carregamento. Entretanto, a presença de enrijecedores pode gerar aumentos significativos nas tensões na parede do pilar tubular, alcançando até 110% nos casos mais críticos de compressão axial. Para situações de grandes excentricidades, foi constatado que os enrijecedores podem provocar aumentos ligeiros nas tensões da placa de base, destacando a necessidade de cuidados adicionais no dimensionamento para esses casos. A pesquisa ressalta a importância de avaliar cuidadosamente o impacto dos enrijecedores tanto na redução de tensões na placa quanto no aumento das tensões no pilar, garantindo que os limites de projeto sejam atendidos. Ademais, recomenda-se a análise da viabilidade econômica do uso de enrijecedores em comparação ao aumento das seções transversais das placas e pilares.
O mercado transnacional de gametas humanos: interações biojurídicas e econômicas
Authors: Nascimento Nayane Costa
Published: January 2025

A importação de material genético germinativo no Brasil, como alternativa para a escolha de doadores, provoca um confronto entre a autonomia individual na programação de projetos parentais e as normas deontológicas do Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM), que regulamentam o sigilo e o altruísmo nos procedimentos de doação. Essa prática evidencia desafios jurídicos e contratuais que ultrapassam o ordenamento brasileiro, abrangendo transações biojurídicas e econômicas originadas da transnacionalidade dos gametas humanos. Este estudo propõe analisar a legalidade das relações contratuais e os possíveis conflitos normativos na reprodução humana assistida heteróloga, especialmente no que diz respeito à mercantilização de gametas e às regulamentações biojurídicas aplicáveis. Os dilemas surgem em relação à tutela estatal sobre a importação de gametas, associada à questão da autonomia privada. O progresso do intercâmbio transnacional, respaldado pelas RDC nº 771/2022 e nº 81/2008 da Anvisa, revela uma linha tênue entre a autonomia reprodutiva e os limites éticos, evidenciando o risco de precificação do material genético.

A compensação ambiental é um instrumento legal com objetivo de garantir que não ocorra perda em biodiversidade e serviços ambientais quando da impossibilidade da recuperação ou restauração ambiental no local do dano, portanto, um instrumento de prevenção, antecipatório e que tem por base os princípios da prevenção e do poluidor- pagador. No caso de degradação ambiental da Mata Atlântica, bioma brasileiro com especial proteção legal, além da observância rigorosa dos requisitos da Lei específica do Bioma Mata Atlântica Lei 11.428/2006, dos princípios da função social da propriedade e do desenvolvimento sustentável ou ecodesenvolvimento, deve-se, ainda , observar os princípios da especialidade, do não retrocesso do direito ambiental e do indúbio pró- natura para só então se admitir a compensação ambiental sem que haja danos irreparáveis ao meio ambiente e a biodiversidade. Este artigo, que complementa investigações precedentes, objetiva apresentar os requisitos necessários para a concessão da compensação ambiental na seara administrativa no que concerne ao desmatamento legal e ilegal do Bioma Mata Atlântica para fins do exercício pelo produtor rural de atividades ou usos agrícolas, pecuários ou silviculturais, apresentando os pontos problemáticos de se autorizar a compensação sem seguir os parâmetros específicos da legislação e doutrina que protegem de forma especial este bioma.

The topic examined in the research is related to divorce due to domestic violence. The research uses a normative legal pattern (jurisprudential-normative), which involves the use of legal regulations to analyze legal material. To ensure the data collected is optimal and relevant to the research objectives. This process involves exploring and assessing various scientific books or writings that are relevant to the research topic. Divorce and Domestic Violence (KDRT) according to Islamic Fiqh illustrate the complexity of the relationship between family, law and religion in dealing with household problems. The family is considered a valuable asset that must be protected, but reality shows that not all households are safe from conflict, even domestic violence. In Islam, women are given a high position and their rights are protected, including the right to be supported by their husbands. However, failure to fulfill these obligations is often the cause of economic hardship in dostic environments. This is also outlined in Law no. 23 of 2004, cases of oppression perpetrated against women within the boundaries of the family environment are categorized into 4 classifications.
Study on the Influencing Factors of Older Adults Learning to Improve Acquired Helplessness on the Spiritual Construction of Healthy Aging
Authors: Xu Meng
Published: January 2025

With the aging of China's population and the rapid development of digital technology, the Internet, as a common public product and resource, has never been equally available or accessible to everyone. Acquired helplessness in the process of learning to adapt to digitalization leads to the loss of information about intelligent operation, which is seriously detrimental to the mental health of the elderly. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between gerontological learning, acquired helplessness, and the spiritual construction of healthy aging. By analyzing the theoretical basis of geriatric learning, it was found that learning participation not only improves health but also promotes healthy aging. This paper collects data through questionnaires and uses multiple linear regression, analysis of variance and path analysis to process the data. The study finds that learning in old age can shape a positive mindset with the help of learning achievement to enhance self-confidence, social interaction to improve self-efficacy, knowledge learning to change the way of thinking, and sharing of experiences, thus improving learned helplessness and having a positive impact on the spiritual construction of healthy aging.
Limited Recourses for sexual physiology and Health Education for rural Primary Students in China
Authors: Liang Yichen
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes the current situation and deficiencies of sexual physiology and health education resources in rural primary schools in China. Due to traditional cultural concepts, uneven distribution of educational resources, and shortage of teaching staff, rural primary school students face many challenges in sexual physiology and health education. The article points out that the taboo concept of the Confucian culture towards sexual topics makes it difficult to carry out sex education in families and schools, and the shortage of teachers and insufficient teacher training further aggravate this problem. To improve the current situation, the article suggests strengthening teacher training, improving educational policies, and promoting the balanced development of educational resources between urban and rural areas, in order to enhance the health literacy and quality of life of rural students.
A Study Review about Cultural and Social Dimensions of Implicit Attitudes
Authors: Chu Ziyan
Published: January 2025

The research on implicit attitudes (IA) become more and more important in modern times. Researchers have more findings on the social and cultural dimensions of IA. However, a study that combines the social and cultural dimensions is rare. This study review combined six IA studies that separately focused on cultural and social dimensions to discuss their relationships. All the used studies are experimental research. All studies used questionnaires to measure explicit attitudes and the IAT test to collect IA. For children’s participants, researchers use oral questions and SI-IAT. Cultural backgrounds influence people’s IA. Diverse cultures lead people to prefer different behaviors or personalities in their IA. However, the influence of cultural background is not stable. Complex social environments cover the influence of culture on IA. Local social norms in closed social environments changed people’s IA from broad cultural backgrounds. Social distance (SD) acts differently with culture or social norms. There is a range of SD. Below or beyond it, both influence people’s IA toward diverse social groups. Self-awareness of IA is theoretically based on people’s self-appraisals of cultural and social backgrounds. However, there is evidence that people predict IA with simple mental associations. This provides new perspectives on future studies about social and cultural dimensions of IA.
