Informacijske potrebe i informacijsko ponašanje učenika i učenica I. gimnazije u Osijeku pri pretraživanju zdravstvenih informacija
Authors: Martinović Ivana , Bakota Sara , Badurina Boris
Published: March 2019

Cilj je ovog rada odrediti informacijske potrebe i ponašanje učenika i učenica pri traženju zdravstvenih informacija.
Metodologija. U istraživanje je uključeno 255 učenika prvog i četvrtog razreda I. gimnazije u Osijeku. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom anketiranja tijekom rujna i listopada 2016. godine. Ovo istraživanje dio je znanstveno-istraživačkog projekta Sveučilišta Josipa Jurja Strossmayera u Osijeku pod nazivom Istraživanje informacijskog ponašanja mladih pri pretraživanju informacija za zdravlje na mobilnim uređajima.
Rezultati. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da učenice i učenici I. gimnazije u Osijeku pokazuju interes za mnoge zdravstvene teme. Učenici jednako kao i  učenice u posljednjih šest mjeseci imali su potrebu za različitim zdravstvenim informacijama. Učenici i učenice zdravstvenu informaciju smatraju vrlo važnom, a majka je prvi izvor kojem se obraćaju kad traže zdravstvenu informaciju. Vrlo često zdravstvene informacije učenici i učenice traže na internetu. Učenice i učenici izjašnjavaju se da bi više informacija o zdravstveni temama htjeli dobiti u školi te da bi voljeli na raspolaganju imati stručne osobe kojima bi se osobno ili na druge načine besplatno mogli obratiti kad prepoznaju svoju zdravstvenu informacijsku potrebu.
Originalnost/Vrijednost. Originalnost ovoga rada ogleda se u činjenici što je prvo istraživanje u okviru informacijskih znanosti u Republici Hrvatskoj koje se bavi zdravstvenim informacijskim potrebama i ponašanjem mladih. Vrijednost rada očituje se u pružanju uvida u informacijsko ponašanje mladih.
Praktična primjena. Rezultati mogu poslužiti kao podloga za oblikovanje nastavnih predmeta koji će uključivati zdravstvene teme. Nadalje, rezultati mogu poslužiti kao smjerokaz oblikovanju i unaprjeđenju usluga savjetodavnih službi za mlade. Rezultati istraživanja mogu također poslužiti kao smjernice za unaprjeđenje informacijskih službi i usluga namijenjenih mladima.
Ograničenja. U okviru ovoga rada istraživanje je provedeno na relativno malom uzorku te su generalizacije o temi zdravstvenog informacijskog ponašanja mladih onemogućene. Kako bi se dobio detaljniji uvid u informacijske potrebe i ponašanje mladih u Republici Hrvatskoj, potrebni su rezultati prikupljeni istraživanjem na većem uzorku ili na nacionalnoj razini.
Dokudah – dokumentarni film kao edukacija u predahu u Knjižnici Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu
Authors: Gotal Elvira
Published: March 2019

Cilj. Cilj je ovog rada opisati i obrazložiti važnost programa Dokudah koji se provodi u Knjižnici Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu. Program se sastoji od projekcija dokumentarnih filmova i popratne diskusije. Istovremeno, obrazlaže se važnost dokumentarnog filma kao specifičnog oblika audiovizualne građe koji ima sve veću edukacijsku ulogu. Program promiče dokumentarni izričaj, suradnju, kritičko mišljenje i aktivizam, uz to upućuje na važnost audiovizualne građe i njezine zbirke u Knjižnici Filozofskog fakulteta te audiovizualne baštine i kulture općenito.
Pristup. U ovom će se radu obrazložiti teorijska i praktična pozadina programa Dokudah, njegov razvoj i edukativna svrha. Sam termin proizlazi iz akronima sintagme dokumentarni predah i odnosi se na dokumentarni film kao predah u okruženju u kojem prevladavaju knjige te se u tom smislu film javlja kao odmak od čitanja, no istovremeno educira, obrazuje i aktivira pojedince.
Rezultati. Program je nastao 2015. godine i kontinuirano se razvijao s povremenim stankama. Rezultati su provođenog programa uspostavljena suradnja sa studentskim klubovima, nakon toga suradnja s nezavisnim produkcijskim kućama, ispostava i projekcije filmova, aktivno gledanje i poticajna diskusija te, na kraju, osmišljavanje bloga.
Ograničenja. Važna su točka u programu autorska prava. Zbog financijske ograničenosti javne projekcije nisu bile moguće i u tom se smislu čitav Dokudah zasniva na suradnji kao osnovnom načinu izvedbe i provedbe programa. U naknadnim varijantama poput programa Dokudah i zelene knjižnice varijante se mijenjaju i prilagođavaju ovisno o uvjetima autorskog prava.
Praktična primjena. Program Dokudaha ističe važnu ulogu dokumentarnog filma na svim razinama obrazovanja. Zbog rascjepkanosti svojih obaveza na studiju studenti mogu takvim dodatnim programom kvalitetno ispuniti vrijeme između predavanja. Isto tako može se uključiti u koncept otvorene nastave te se provoditi kontinuirano s naznačenim ishodima.
Društveni značaj. Ostvarivanjem kontakata s vanjskim suradnicima omogućuje se aktivnije uključivanje u zajednicu. U tom smislu osmišljen je i blog kako bi na jednom mjestu okupio korisne informacije na temelju kojih bi se pojedinci mogli uključiti u interesnu problematiku.
Originalnost. Knjižnica Filozofskog fakulteta visokoškolska je knjižnica, a po opsegu svojega fonda druga je najveća knjižnica u Hrvatskoj, odmah iza Nacionalne i sveučilišne knjižnice u Zagrebu. Osim knjižne građe, posjeduje i kvalitetnu audiovizualnu zbirku te su važni programi koje provodi radi promicanja te zbirke. Originalnost programa Dokudah proizlazi iz želje i mogućnosti da poveže knjižničare, profesore, studente i vanjske suradnike nudeći raznovrsne sadržaje. Program je prilagodljiv i uklopiv, a da pritom zadržava svoju osnovnu ulogu i zadaću, a to je promicanje dokumentarnog filma. Opisivanjem faza nastanka i koncepta dan je model za oblikovanje srodnih programa.
Uloga knjižnica u vrednovanju znanstvene produktivnosti
Authors: Čadovska Ivana , Mitrović Goranka
Published: March 2019

Cilj. Znanstvena produktivnost najčešće se mjeri kvantitativnim pokazateljima koji, između ostalog, uključuju bibliometrijske parametre vrednovanja znanstvenika i znanstvenih ustanova te stručnih i znanstvenih časopisa. Rad donosi pregled pravne osnove kvantitativnog vrednovanja znanstvene produktivnosti u Hrvatskoj, uz isticanje uloge knjižnica u navedenom procesu. Ujedno je prikazan razvoj kvantitativnog vrednovanja znanstvene produktivnosti u Hrvatskoj na primjeru Nacionalne i sveučilišne knjižnice u Zagrebu koja pruža bibliometrijske usluge hrvatskoj akademskoj zajednici na nacionalnoj razini.
Pristup/metodologija. Istraživanje se zasniva na pregledu važećih i predloženih zakona i propisa iz područja knjižničarstva, visokog obrazovanja i znanosti u Hrvatskoj, a koji se odnose na vrednovanje znanstvene produktivnosti. Detaljnije se analiziraju pravilnici o izboru u znanstvena zvanja kao pravni temelj vrednovanja znanstvenika i njihove produktivnosti u Hrvatskoj. U drugom dijelu rada prikazana je analiza kori- štenja bibliometrijske usluge koju pruža Nacionalna i sveučilišna knjižnica u Zagrebu.
Rezultati. Analiza zakona i propisa iz područja knjižničarstva, visokog obrazovanja i znanosti u Hrvatskoj pokazala je nedovoljno definiranu ulogu knjižnica u sustavu visokog obrazovanja i znanosti u procesima vrednovanja znanstvene produktivnosti. Najčešće se uloga knjižnica u procesima vrednovanja definira na razini ustanove u čijem je sastavu, dok se na nacionalnoj razini spominje tek novim pravilnikom o izboru u znanstvena zvanja iz 2017. godine.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Ovaj rad može poslužiti kao podloga daljnjim istraživanjima i razvoju bibliometrijskih usluga i kvantitativnog vrednovanja znanstvene produktivnosti u Hrvatskoj te jačanju uloge knjižnica u navedenim procesima.

Entrepreneurial opportunity decisions under uncertainty: Recognizing the complementing role of personality traits and cognitive skills
Authors: Mensah Emmanuel Kwasi , Asamoah Lawrence Adu , Sadeghi Vahid Jafari
Published: March 2019

Entrepreneurship research on decision making under uncertainty has focused largely on the effect
of uncertainty on the entrepreneurial actions while attempt at the individual level particularly,
from the cognitive framework seeks to explain why actions differ. Scholarly efforts have also been
made on what informs entrepreneurial actions from the perspective of the entrepreneur’s
personal attributes. However, no integrated approach is offered in the literature to study how
cognitive skills and personality traits complement each other. In this paper, we consider how
cognitive skills and personality traits affect an entrepreneur’s decision to discover or create
opportunities under uncertainty. Specifically, we examine the complementary role of personality
traits and cognitive skills towards opportunity decisions. We provide a conceptual basis for a
broader perspective on behaviors and cognitions that motivate or hinder entrepreneurial actions
while at the same time positioning the entrepreneur’s decision at the core of the decision theory.
Propositions regarding the application of some selected personality traits and cognitive skills and
their complementarity are presented and discussed.

Polovtsians in the Early Chronicles: Assessments and Interpretations by the Chroniclers
Authors: Konyavskaya Elena L.
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this article is to investigate images of Polovtsians (Cumans) in the chronicles in terms of their direct perceptions by Russians—as enemies and neighbors, allies and relatives. Narratives and messages in the early chronicle tradition enable us to trace the formation of such images and the dynamics of their transformation.

The study was conducted on the basis of reports and narratives in the Laurentian and Hypatian Chronicles that transmit events of the pre-Mongol period. The chroniclers describe the Polovtsians in terms of ethnic, religious, and, sometimes, geopolitical features. In some cases, they appear as a single entity and in others, as individuals. The latter includes contexts in which the Cuman act as allies of the Russian princes.
Analysis of the chronicle material shows that the image of the Polovtsian is a complex and evolving phenomenon. As a general trend, it can be noted that there is a transformation from general references, which are not personalized, to images of Polovtsians either as individuals or as engaging in some kind of community-driven actions with understandable motives and goals. In the assessments of the chroniclers, negative or neutral impressions dominated, with special emphasis on confessional aspects of the Polovtsians they were describing.
Sociolinguistic Aspects of the First Translations of the Bible into the Russian Language
Authors: Kravetsky Alexander G.
Published: March 2019

The first translations of the New Testament into the Russian language, which were carried out at the beginning of the 19th century, are usually regarded as a missionary project. But the language of these translations may prove that they were addressed to a rather narrow audience. As is known, the Russian Bible Society established in 1812 began its activities not with translations into Russian but with the mass edition of the Church Slavonic text of the Bible. In other words, it was the Church Slavonic Bible that was initially taken as the “Russian” Bible. Such a perception correlated with the sociolinguistic situation of that period, when, among the literate country and town dwellers, people learned grammar according to practices dating back to Medieval Rus’, which meant learning by heart the Church Slavonic alphabet, the Book of Hours, and the Book of Psalms; these readers were in the majority, and they could understand the Church Slavonic Bible much better than they could a Russian-language version. That is why the main audience for the “Russian” Bible was the educated classes who read the Bible in European languages, not in Russian. The numbers of targeted readers for the Russian-language translation of the Bible were significantly lower than those for the Church Slavonic version. The ideas of the “language innovators” (who favored using Russian as a basis for a new national language) thus appeared to be closer to the approach taken by the Bible translators than the ideas of “the upholders of the archaic tradition” (who favored using the vocabulary and forms of Church Slavonic as their basis). The language into which the New Testament was translated moved ahead of the literary standard of that period, and that was one of the reasons why the work on the translation of the Bible into the Russian language was halted.
The Name Day as a Part of Medieval Historiographical Narrative
Authors: Litvina Anna F. , Uspenskij Fjodor B.
Published: March 2019

The article investigates the ways in which the celebration of the name day (imeniny) of Russian princes or their entourages was presented in the Russian chronicles. The custom of celebrating the name day was firmly rooted in the Russian princely environment. For a chronicle narrative, the very rootedness of this custom and the number of its associated actions plays an important role—it is this rootedness that makes stories told in the chronicles quite opaque to the modern reader. A prince’s Christian name and the day of his patron saint were considered to be important background knowledge for the audience of the medieval compiler. There were, apparently, clear ideas about appropriate behavior for prince or a person from his environment on his name day or on the eve of this day but, on the other hand, such assumptions explain why this kind of “normal” behavior rarely forms the subject of special reflection in the chronicles. It is not only a description of the celebration itself that might be very informative, whether it be a church service, a ceremonial feast with various relatives, or an exchange of gifts, but also the description of acts and deeds that were undertaken specifically on a prince’s name day. Therefore, particular attention is given here to stories about undue or inappropriate behavior on this special day. The paper deals with the function and nature of such episodes in the broader context of historiographical narrative.
The Name Tudorъ in Pre-Mongol Rus’: Christian or Scandinavian?
Authors: Melnikova Elena A.
Published: March 2019

The personal name Tudorъ is attested for the first time in Old Russian sources in the treaty between Rus’ and Byzantium of 944 and it occurs later in chronicles, birchbark letters, and other written sources up to the end of the 12th century. It is traditionally interpreted as a variant of the Christian name Θεóδωρος/Fe(o)dorъ, although no Christian names are found among the roughly seventy personal names of the participants listed in the preamble to the treaty; the overwhelming majority of the names are Scandinavian. The name Tudorъ is much more satisfactorily derived from a popular Scandinavian anthroponym Þjóðarr. In the 11th‒12th centuries, it was widely used both by Old Russian nobility (not of Rurikid origin) and by ordinary inhabitants of the Novgorodian land. This name, however, began to be confused with the phonetically close Christian name Fedorъ/Feodorъ already in the 12th century: in a graffito in St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev, the week dedicated to St. Theodor of Tyron (the first week of Great Lent) is called ‘Tudor’s week.’ In the 13th century the name Tudorъ fell out of usage because it was replaced by the Christian name Fedorъ/Feodorъ.
“The Birds of Clay”: An Apocryphal Motif in Folklore Legends
Authors: Belova Olga V.
Published: March 2019

The article describes the adaptation of the apocryphal Gospels motif—the revival of clay birds by Jesus—in the folk traditions of Eastern and Western Slavs. The texts of folk legends demonstrate not only the active inclusion of apocryphal motifs in oral narratives, but they also incorporate the motifs’ biblical contexts and they emphasize themes that are close to everyday life and that reflect local history. The folklore texts analyzed here are from different regions of the Slavic world (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Poland); they allow us to conclude that the oral tradition has retained, with great stability, these fragments from medieval sources up to the present day. Moreover, it is interesting to note the different interpretations of the same motif in monuments of Christian and Jewish literature (apocryphal Gospels and the pamphlet Toledot Yeshu).
The fairly large group of folk legends with apocryphal motifs, occurring in different Slavic traditions from the 19th to the 21st centuries, thus testifies not only to the continued relevance of the biblical plots for oral culture, but also to the importance of the Apocrypha for the broadcasting and preservation of biblical stories in the folk tradition.
The Epistle of Cornelius, a Monk of the Snetogorsky Monastery
Authors: Okhotnikova Valentina I.
Published: March 2019

This article deals with the problem of the dating and authorship of the Epistle of Cornelius, a monk of the Snetogorsky monastery, to his spiritual son, the priest Ivan, who decided to marry for a second time “for childbearing.” Nikolai I. Serebriansky dated the Epistle to the 1590s (this dating also was shared by subsequent researchers), based on the assertion that during the life of Ivan the Terrible, Cornelius would hardly have dared to write that tsars who violate the laws of the Church regarding the termination and conclusion of a second marriage would be punished by the birth of an heir who “will trample everything and will be an initiator of every evil deed.” The identification of the sources describing both the heir’s evil deeds and other parts of the text allows us to refine the dating of the Epistle. Cornelius finds arguments for the condemnation of his spiritual son’s decision to remarry not only in Scripture but also in contemporary hagiographic and publicistic works that date back to a period of time from the beginning of the 16th century to the 1540s: the Life of Euphrosynus of Pskov (the Story about Halleluiah), no later than 1510; the Epistle of Maximus the Greek to Fedor Karpov about Leviathan, dated between 1518 and 1525; the Epistle of Mark, patriarch of Jerusalem (from the Excerpt about the Second Marriage of Grand Prince Vasily III), from the 1540s. Such a concentration of works from a specific period of time suggests that the Epistle of Cornelius itself was written at about the same time. Most likely, the Cornelius who is identified as the author of the Epistle is the Cornelius listed as the former abbot of the Snetogorsky monastery in the 1562 record inscribed in the Gospel manuscript from the collection of the Russian State Library, f. 205, No. 29. Monk Cornelius could have written the Epistle no earlier than in 1525 and no later than in 1562, when he was no longer either a monk or the abbot of the Snetogorsky monastery.
How Did a Translator into Old Russian Work with His Sources?
Authors: Pichkhadze Anna A.
Published: March 2019

It is a well-known fact that medieval scribes often used several manuscripts as their sources in order to produce a new copy of a text; this is because every source manuscript can contain errors or be damaged. Because scribes did not attempt and were not able to select source manuscripts belonging to the same textual group, the new copy might reflect more than one textual tradition. Translators from Greek into Church Slavonic apparently had the same problems with their sources as scribes did. Moreover, translators had even more difficult problems due to itacism and the numerous abbreviations used in Byzantine manuscripts. However, so far scholars have provided no evidence for the use of multiple Greek manuscripts for translations into Church Slavonic. In this article a few instances of contaminated readings (conflations) from the Old Russian translation of the Life of St. Andrew the Fool are cited. They reflect variant readings from different Greek manuscripts and seem to prove that the translator worked from at least two Greek manuscript sources, which enabled him to choose the wording he considered to be the best for any given passage.
The Verses about Sofei in the Stishnoi Prolog from the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome
Authors: Pliukhanova Maria B.
Published: March 2019

This article is a publication, with commentary, of the text about Divine Wisdom from the Stishnoi Prolog, a Synaxarium with verses. It was conserved in the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome (Slavo 5), now in the Vatican Library; the manuscript dates from the beginning of the 16th century, and it originates from Novgorod or Pskov. This codex is well known among Slavists, who have expressed various contradictory judgments about its content. A series of texts—verses and lives of saints—have no analogues in other manuscripts. The source also contains some strange errors, even absurdities. On fol. 185 prayer verses are entered without a title; in other words, they have no relation to any specific event of the Church calendar. The prayer consists mainly of quotations. The first part, which is the beginning of the Great Doxology, does not glorify the Trinity but rather it glorifies Sophia, using the Novgorod masculine form Sofei. The final part of the prayer quotes Ps 146:5 on the greatness of the Lord. The middle part is a free variation on the theme of the paths in Sir 24. A similar text is in one of the manuscripts of Euphrosynus of Beloozero. The prayer can be correlated with the controversy about the nature of Sophia that began in Novgorod at the turn of the 15th–16th centuries and that is most definitely reflected in a later work, the Authentic Story about What Is Sofei, the Wisdom of God. By selecting the “Lords” citations, the author of the prayer seems to argue against the tendency to identify Sophia with Our Lady. In the fragment using the motifs from Sirach, there are grammatical ambiguities that can be interpreted as a desire to avoid the use of the feminine in relation to Wisdom. The cultural status of this text can be compared with paraliturgical inscriptions from Novgorod studied by Tatiana Rozhdestvenskaya.
On the Apocrypha in the Pilgrimage by Daniel the Traveler
Authors: Fedorova Irina V.
Published: March 2019

The abundance of apocryphal material in the text of the Pilgrimage by Daniel the Traveler has become the subject of several special studies in the past, by Ya. I. Gorozhansky, M. A. Venevitinov, P. A. Zabolotsky, V. P. Adrianova-Peretts, and M. Garzaniti. All of these studies, however, were based on the text of the First Redaction of the Pilgrimage (according to Venevitinov’s classification) and they did not consider the work’s literary history. The present study reveals the various ways in which the reproduction of apocryphal subjects appears in different redactions of the Pilgrimage (both full-text and abridged) and its later adaptations made in the 16th and 17th centuries. One of the examples is the description of Nazareth, which is accompanied by an apocryphal version of the Annunciation in the Pilgrimage. This version differs from the Bible text (Mt 1:18–25, Lk 1:26–28) in that it tells about the events directly preceding the Annunciation: the pre-Annunciation at the well, where Mary comes to draw water, and the appearance of the Archangel Gabriel to her in a cave. In the group of abridged copies of the 16th century from the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, this information is missing, and the only thing said about Nazareth is that “Archangel Gabriel announced to Her [Mary] there.” Thus, the complete story appearing in the full-text redactions of Daniel’s Pilgrimage was replaced by a compact report consistent with the Bible narrative. The nature of the variant readings presented in this paper remains to be interpreted, as these variants may be later interpolations in the text made by redactors or they may represent traces of the earlier period of the history of the text. At the same time, any reconstruction of the literary history of the Pilgrimage has to take into account the peculiarities of the reproduction of apocryphal subjects in different redactions of the text.
On the History of the Publication of the Menaion Reader by Demetrius of Rostov (the Text On the Year of Death of St. Mary of Egypt as an Additional Article to the Menaion Reader by St. Demetrius)
Authors: Fedotova Marina A.
Published: March 2019

The legacy of St. Demetrius of Rostov (1651–1709), metropolitan of Rostov and Yaroslavl, an Orthodox saint and one of the most prominent Slavonic authors, has always attracted a great deal of attention. His works have been the object of study of both Russian and foreign scholars. This paper puts forward one of the most topical issues in the study of Demetrius’ writing, namely, his unresearched, unpublished, and previously unavailable works. These are discovered in manuscript collections which were compiled in and emerged from the Rostov scriptorium (some of them are original manuscripts from the metropolitan’s library). Among them are works that were unpublished in the first edition of the Lives of Saints by St. Demetrius of Rostov. The author of the present paper makes available a new, unknown, and unpublished work by St. Demetrius of Rostov, On the Year of Death of St. Mary of Egypt, which was written as an additional calendar text referring to the Life of St. Mary of Egypt. The sources of the Life of St. Mary of Egypt were the Acta Sanctorum and De Probatis Sanctorum Historiis by Laurentius Surius. The text On the Year of Death of St. Mary of Egypt was written by Demetrius for the first edition, but it was not included in the printed edition and is preserved only in manuscript sources.
The “Apocryphal” Inscription from Mangup, Crimea, and Rituals of “Exposing the Thief”: Magic and Law from Antiquity to the Middle Ages
Authors: Vinogradov Andrey Yu. , Zheltov Mikhail S.
Published: March 2019

The discovery of a Byzantine bread stamp inscribed with the text of Ps 29:8 in the ruins of Mangup Basilica in Crimea allows the authors of this article to revise the entire tradition of the Byzantine magical and folk “recipes” for revealing a thief; it is this context in which this verse is used in combination with a special bread. Prototypes of these recipes and procedures are attested in the late antique syncretic (pagan-Judeo-Christian) magical papyri, in which private persons are advised to detect thieves by means of special spells, used either on their own or in combination with bread and cheese, an image of an eye, birds, bowls of water, and laurel leaves. In middle- and late-Byzantine manuscripts, these procedures are still present but in “Christianized” forms, even to the extent that a bread-and-cheese (or just bread) procedure is sometimes described as a regular liturgical rite, performed in a church. In the meantime, there is evidence indicating that the Byzantine hierarchy had been struggling with this and other instances of using magical procedures under the cloak of the Christian liturgy, and, in particular, bishops had been expelling priests who used bread sortilege to determine guilt. However, in Western Europe, especially in Germany and England, where spells against thieves had also been known since antiquity, the bread ordeal (English: Corsnaed, German: Bissprobe) became an accepted judicial practice, and even found its way into the official law codes of 11th-century England. Quite surprisingly, a similar phenomenon is attested in Russia (Novgorod) in the early 15th century. Taking into account the Crimean bread stamp studied in this article, one can conclude that bread ordeals, prohibited in Constantinople, could have been tolerated in the Byzantine periphery, including Crimea, and that it is from these areas that this practice could have come to some Russian regions as well.

Latent Variable Models in Clinical Psychology
Authors: Wright Aidan G.C.
Published: March 2019

Most of what clinical psychology concerns itself with is directly unobservable. Concepts like neuroticism and depression, but also learning and development, represent dispositions, states, or processes that must be inferred and cannot (currently) be directly measured. Latent variable modeling, as a statistical framework, encompasses a range of techniques that involve estimating the presence and effect of unobserved variables from observed data. This chapter provides a non-technical overview of latent variable modeling in clinical psychology. Dimensional latent variable models are emphasized, although categorical and hybrid models are touched on briefly. Challenges with specific models, such as the bifactor model are discussed. Examples draw from the psychopathology literature.
The Replicability and Generalizability of Internalizing Symptom Networks Across Five Samples
Authors: Funkhouser Carter J. , Correa Kelly
Published: March 2019

The popularity of network analysis in psychopathology research has increased exponentially in recent years. Yet, little research has examined the replicability of cross-sectional psychopathology network models, and those that have used single items for symptoms rather than multi-item scales. The present study therefore examined the replicability and generalizability of regularized partial correlation networks of internalizing symptoms within and across five samples (total N = 2,573) using the Inventory for Depression and Anxiety Symptoms, a factor analytically-derived measure of individual internalizing symptoms. As different metrics may yield different conclusions about the replicability of network parameters, we examined both global and specific metrics of similarity between networks. Correlations within and between nonclinical samples suggested considerable global similarities in network structure (rss = .53-.87) and centrality strength (rss = .37-.86), but weaker similarities in network structure (rss = .36-.66) and centrality (rss = .04-.54) between clinical and nonclinical samples. Global strength (i.e., connectivity) did not significantly differ across all five networks and few edges (0-5.5%) significantly differed between networks. Specific metrics of similarity indicated that, on average, approximately 80% of edges were consistently estimated within and between all five samples. The most central symptom (i.e., dysphoria) was consistent within and across samples, but there were few other matches in centrality rank-order. In sum, there were considerable similarities in network structure, the presence and sign of individual edges, and the most central symptom within and across internalizing symptom networks estimated from nonclinical samples, but global metrics suggested network structure and symptom centrality had weak to moderate generalizability from nonclinical to clinical samples.
Social Semantics: The role of conceptual knowledge and cognitive control in a neurobiological model of the social brain
Authors: Binney Richard J , Ramsey Richard
Published: March 2019

Research in social neuroscience has primarily focused on carving up cognition into distinct pieces, as a function of mental process, neural network or social behaviour, while the need for unifying models that span multiple social phenomena has been relatively neglected. Here we present a novel framework that treats social cognition as a case of semantic cognition, which provides a neurobiologically constrained and generalizable framework, with clear, testable predictions regarding sociocognitive processing in the context of both health and disease. According to this framework, social cognition relies on two principal systems of representation and control. These systems are neuroanatomically and functionally distinct, but interact to (1) enable development of foundational, conceptual-level knowledge and (2) regulate access to this information in order to generate flexible and context-appropriate social behaviour. The Social Semantics framework shines new light on the mechanisms of social information processing by maintaining as much explanatory power as prior models of social cognition, whilst remaining simpler, by virtue of relying on fewer components that are “tuned” towards social interactions.
Conducting Web-based experiments for numerical cognition research
Authors: Kochari Arnold
Published: March 2019

[This is a postprint/accepted version of the manuscript. The manuscript has been published in Journal of Cognition.] It is becoming increasingly popular and straightforward to collect data in cognitive psychology through web-based studies. In this paper, I review issues around web-based data collection for the purpose of numerical cognition research. Provided that the desired type of data can be collected through a web-browser, such online studies offer numerous advantages over traditional forms of physical lab-based data collection, such as gathering data from larger sample sizes in shorter time-windows and easier access to non-local populations. I then present results of two replication studies that employ classical paradigms in numerical cognition research: the number–size congruity paradigm and comparison to a given standard, which also included a masked priming manipulation. In both replications, reaction times and error rates were comparable to original, physical lab-based studies. Consistent with the results of original studies, a distance effect, a congruity effect, and a priming effect were observed. Data collected online thus offers a level of reliability comparable to data collected in a physical lab when it comes to questions in numerical cognition.
Relationship between the Implicit Association Test and explicit measures of intergroup cognition: Data from the meta-analysis by Kurdi et al. (2018)
Authors: Kurdi Benedek , Banaji Mahzarin R.
Published: March 2019

In the present report we provide a brief summary of the relationship between implicit and explicit measures of social cognition based on the meta-analytic database analyzed in more detail with respect to the relationship between measures of social cognition and measures of intergroup behavior by Kurdi et al. (2018). In the present analysis, a statistically significant but small relationship emerged between implicit and parallel explicit measures of attitudes, stereotypes, and identity. The implicit–explicit relationship was characterized by high levels of statistical heterogeneity, thus making moderator analyses necessary. Implicit and explicit measures were more highly correlated with each other in studies (a) of sexual orientation (relative to other target group categories), (b) using the improved scoring algorithm to index IAT performance, (c) conducted using real-world or online samples (relative to general, student, and preselected samples), (d) conducted using foreign samples (relative to U.S. samples), and (e) conducted by authors with higher levels of experience involving the Implicit Association Test. Other variables that, based on theoretical or practical considerations, may have been expected to produce an effect had no impact.

Authors: Tripathi Krishna Prasad
Published: March 2019

The study entitled "Students' perception towards the drinking water facility at JMC Pokhara" is carried out to find out the perception of drinking water and examine the impact of drinking water on student's health in Janapriya Multiple Campus of Kaski district. The descriptive method was applied to meet the objectives and the survey technique was used to collect necessary information. All the students in JMC(4350) were the population of this study. The sample size was 160 through lottery method. The questionnaire and observation schedule were the major tool of data collection. Campus has its own boring system from 2071/ 0/ 17 B.S. The water was lab tested in the beginning by the microbiology department and recommended that it was safe. Most of the respondents felt that it was needed to test the water time to time and notified to concern people. Nearly 80 percent students said that the water was safe and pure but only eleven students complained. Only 6 students bought it and other 5 brought boiled water from their homes. Thirty one students felt water born diseases during their JMC period but they weren't ensure either from their college water or residential water. Students' perception on water availability in JMC was satisfactory.
Factors Associated with Children Ever Born among Lower Caste Women in Some Selected Wards of Pokhara, Nepal
Authors: Mulmi Sudan Kumar
Published: March 2019

Fertility is the main components of population growth. Children ever born vary in different sub groups of the same population in terms of age at marriage, age of women, literacy, occupation, contraception user and mass media exposure. The objective of this study is to find out association between children ever born and selected socio-demographic characteristics in lower caste women. A descriptive study was conducted in some selected wards of Pokhara, Nepal during April 2018. Five wards were selected randomly out of 33 wards and 187 lower caste women were selected using convenience sampling technique. The data was collected by using semi-structured interview schedule. Chi-square test was applied to find out association between children ever born and selected socio-demographic characteristics.Higher children ever born were concentrated in the age at marriage from 21 to 25 as compared to other groups of age at marriage. Practice of contraceptive use is low among lower caste people although 66.31% lower caste women were exposed to mass media. The result shows that the factors age at marriage, contraceptive use and mass media exposure were highly associated with children ever born among lower caste women under study (P<0.05). Education on fertility is more powerful than urban residence. Concern authorities should play vital role to increase education level among lower caste people for increasing age at marriage, contraceptive use and practice of family planning to reduce children ever born.
Culture and Symbolism Nexus in Anthropology
Authors: Sigdel Surya Bhakta
Published: March 2019

Study of symbols or the theory of symbolism makes micro study of the culture. Symbols are the gestures, objects and language, which form the basis of human communication. Interpretation of symbol may differ according to the culture. At the same time a symbol may have one meaning in one culture another meaning in another culture. Symbols represent signs which are used to signify objects, real or imaginary. Symbols are arbitrary based on convention of culture. Interpretation of symbol depends on culture. Symbols are means of Communication of language, a form of ritual expression, cultural interpretation, expression of art and belief. Symbols should not be looked at in an abstract way and at meaning as constructed apart from human action but rather at the way meaning is constructed and used in the context of this action. Symbolism studies how a culture functions on the basis of its meanings, how a symbol is interpreted and so on. Symbolism studies the interrelationship between culture, language and people. Culture is constructed on the basis of different symbols. There are different meanings of symbols. The same symbol in different contexts may have different kinds of meanings. Symbols are directed by cultural norms. As cultural norms are diverse symbols too are multicoil, multifocal and multivariate and they can represent many things. Symbols do not necessarily have the same meaning in different context. Thick description by Clifford Geertz takes into account the fact that any aspect of human behavior has more than one meaning.

Performing the Game: Demystifying Live Action Role-Play (LARP)
Authors: Owen David
Published: March 2019

Focusing on the activities of LARGE (the Live Action Role-Playing Guild of Edmonton), several performance concepts are explored using the primary sources of five interview subjects and the author’s auto-ethnographic perspective on participating in LARPs in the Edmonton area. Some of these performance concepts are how LARP can be considered “improv in disguise,” how the use of rules systems both helps and hinders ideas of agency and immersion, and how issues of consent are essential to the success of creating a shared reality among diverse personalities. The article begins with an auto-ethnographic description of the LARP event Broken Covenant, which leads to explaining how LARGE began and how it differs from more well-known boffer LARPS. The article then drills down on the varied histories of the interview subjects and explores the concept of improvisation in LARP as ‘yes, but…,’ in comparison to the well-known improv mantra of ‘yes, and. …’ Agency and immersion are explored, leading to a discussion of emotional investment and, most important, consent. The article demonstrates that there is a vibrant and sophisticated LARP community in Edmonton (mostly transplanted from Saskatoon) creating performances in the non-traditional milieu of LARP.

Authors: Suksai Manaphat , Dhanaworavibul Kriengsak
Published: March 2019

Objective: To compare human sperm motility, vitality and morphology after cryopreservation among sucrose, and different trehalose concentrations.Material and Methods: A total number of 124 normozoospermic semen samples were collected. Each semen sample was divided into 4 portions, and cryopreserved in a human sperm-preserving medium along with cryoprotectants, including; 50 milimolar (mM) trehalose, 100 mM trehalose, 200 mM trehalose and 50 mM sucrose, respectively. All semen samples were frozen by using a vapor phase method. Post-thawed sperm motility, vitality and morphology were assessed. R program was used for data analysis. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Post-thawed semen evaluation indicated that 50 mM trehalose was better than 50 mM sucrose in all sperm parameters, which included progressive motility (p-value=0.037, total motility (p-value<0.001), vitality (p-value<0.001) and morphology (p-value<0.001). The sperm parameters were not significantly different among 100 mM trehalose, 200 mM trehalose and 50 mM sucrose.Conclusion: The use of 50 mM trehalose, as non-permeating cryoprotectant, showed superior post-thaw sperm parameters over sucrose, and other trehalose concentrations.
A Stability Estimate for Robin Boundary Coefficients in Stokes Fluid Flows
Authors: Phan Sang Quang , Nguyen Dung Thuy
Published: March 2019

In this report, we examine the unsteady Stokes equations with non-homogeneous boundary conditions. As an application of a Carleman estimate, we first establish log type stabilities for the solution of the equations from either an interior measurement of the velocity, or a boundary observation depending on the trace of the velocity and of the Cauchy stress tensor measurements on a part of the boundary. We then consider the inverse problem of determining the time-independent Robin coefficient from a measurement of the solution and of Cauchy data on a sub-boundary.
