Authors: Albó Timor Dalmau , Colinas Carlos , Muñoz-Adalia E. Jordán
Published: October 2023

El hongo causante del escaldado del alcornoque Diplodia corticola se asocia al decaimiento y pérdida de productividad de los rodales de alcornoque (Quercus suber L.). La no renovación por parte de la Unión Europea de los químicos usados hasta el momento en la prevención y control del hongo ha acelerado la búsqueda de alternativas efectivas y respetuosas con el medio ambiente. El objetivo principal de este estudio ha sido validar el potencial biocontrolador del género de bacterias Bacillus frente a D. corticola. En primera instancia, mediante un ensayo in vitro enfocado a confirmar el efecto antagonista de dos formulados bacterianos enfrentándolos en cultivo dual a siete cepas del hongo. En segundo lugar, mediante un estudio en invernadero y con plántulas de Q. suber inoculadas con el patógeno y los mismos tratamientos ensayados in vitro, con el fin de evaluar la virulencia del hongo y profundizar en la capacidad protectora de los formulados empleados. Los resultados obtenidos in vitro confirman el potencial biocontrolador de las bacterias a las concentraciones estudiadas. Además, sugieren mecanismos de antagonismo químico por parte de Bacillus spp. Estos resultados preliminares suponen un avance en la búsqueda de un agente de control biológico efectivo frente al escaldado.

Kewajiban mengirimkan informasi gempa dalam waktu kurang dari lima menit menyebabkan magnitudo yang diproses oleh BMKG hanya berasal dari stasiun seismik yang merekam gelombang seismik pada rentang waktu tersebut, sehingga nilainya masih fluktuatif dan berpotensi menimbulkan perbedaan dengan magnitudo final. Setiap jenis magnitudo yang ditentukan pada lima menit pertama, (MLv, mb, mB, dan Mwp) merupakan hasil dari rata-rata nilai magnitudo dari setiap stasiun seismic yang menentukannya sehingga nilainya bergantung pada hasil magnitudo pada masing-masing stasiun. Sistem SeisComP di BMKG menggunakan metode trimmed mean sehingga stasiun dengan nilai magnitudo terlampau besar atau kecil akan dieliminasi dalam penentuan magnitudo. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengurangi fluktuasi penentuan magnitudo pada lima menit pertama dengan mencari stasiun seismik mana yang paling sering dieliminasi dengan metode trimmed mean, kemudian divalidasi dengan site quality stasiun. Selanjutnya dibuat 2 kategori utama stasiun seismik, 1) stasiun primer yang digunakan dalam penentuan lokasi dan magnitudo gempa, dan 2) stasiun sekunder yang hanya digunakan dalam penentuan lokasi gempa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa stasiun dengan site quality yang baik secara umum akan menghasilkan nilai magnitudo yang baik dengan hasil 285 stasiun seismik yang dikategorikan sebagai stasiun primer dan sisanya 126 stasiun seismik dikategorikan sebagai stasiun sekunder. Stasiun primer tersebut diuji coba dalam penentuan magnitudo menggunakan playback SeisComP dengan memutar ulang 256 kejadian gempa. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa fluktuasi magnitudo pada menit-menit awal dapat direduksi dengan baik yang ditunjukkan dengan adanya residual dan deviasi terhadap nilai magnitudo akhir yang lebih kecil dibandingkan hasil BMKG, hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa penentuan magnitudo dengan stasiun primer menunjukkan hasil yang lebih baik

Can DNA Be Speech?, 33 Cardozo Arts & Ent. L.J. 163 (2016)
Authors: Roig Jorge R.
Published: October 2023

DNA is generally regarded as the basic building block of life itself. In the most fundamental sense, DNA is nothing more than a chemical compound, albeit a very complex and peculiar one. DNA is an information-carrying molecule. The specific sequence of base pairs contained in a DNA molecule carries with it genetic information, and encodes for the creation of particular proteins. When taken as a whole, the DNA contained in a single human cell is a complete blueprint and instruction manual for the creation of that human being.In this article we discuss myriad current and developing ways in which people are utilizing DNA to store or convey information of all kinds. For example, researchers have encoded the contents of a whole book in DNA, demonstrating the potential of DNA as a way of storing and transmitting information. In a different vein, some artists have begun to create living organisms with altered DNA as works of art. Hence, DNA is a medium for the communication of ideas. Because of the ability of DNA to store and convey information, its regulation must necessarily raise concerns associated with the First Amendment’s prohibition against the abridgment of freedom of speech.New and developing technologies, and the contemporary and future social practices they will engender, necessitate the renewal of an approach towards First Amendment coverage that takes into account the purposes and values incarnated in the Free Speech Clause of the Constitution. This article proposes and applies a framework for analysis in the context of contemporary social practices that involve the manipulation of DNA, as a case study from which we can hope to gain valuable insights regarding First Amendment doctrine in general.
IP Things as Boundary Objects: The Case of the Copyright Work
Authors: Madison Michael J
Published: October 2023

The goal of this article is to initiate the exploration of the meanings and functions of the things of intellectual property: the work of authorship (or copyright work) in copyright, the invention in patent, and the mark and the sign in trademark. The article focuses firstly on the example of copyright work. Relevant challenges are both technological and conceptual, because these things blend the material and the immaterial. Works are neither as clearly defined nor as clearly limited as copyright law often suggests they are. To explain and justify that proposition, the article borrows from information science literature exploring boundary objects, which are stable physical and intangible things that align distinct but overlapping communities of practice in flexible ways, via interpretive openness. The article shows that the meanings of the work in copyright law can be unified conceptually in the sense that the work operates as a boundary object across a number of different legal and cultural divides. This view of the work clarifies the distinct status of relevant communities and practices in copyright but also bridges them in copyright’s construction and governance of culture. None of the boundaries represented in these boundary objects is fixed or impermeable. Their very dynamic and sometimes porous character is precisely the governance role illuminated here.
Major Trends in Kingdom Church Growth in Nigeria
Authors: Ilesanmi Dele Alaba
Published: October 2023

This paper discusses the major trends in the history of church growth and development in Nigeria. It adapts the recent work by Adamolekun (2012), showing five periods of the history of church growth in Nigeria. The paper discusses further the implications of church growth in Nigeria and offers some suggestions and recommendations that will help strengthen the church of God in Nigeria. The methodology adopted is a historical approach, relying mainly on secondary sources. This paper discovers that church planting has helped the growth of the church in Nigeria and that Pentecostal churches are at the forefront of church planting. It also discovers that the proliferation of churches has negative impacts. The paper concludes that there should be a controlled mechanism in place to curb the excesses of some church founders and that the growth of the church should not be based on orthodoxy but on biblical orthopraxy to change the battered face of Nigerian Society for the better and help the image of the church of God not only in Nigeria but also in the entire world.

Theology of Yoruba Nation Declaration: The Spiritual and Physical Dimensions of Self-Determination Struggle
Authors: Ilesanmi Dele Alaba
Published: October 2023

The impetus for this second piece comes from the realization of the fact that freedom from slavery requires a war that goes beyond physical engagement. Theologically and biblically speaking, every battle has both spiritual and physical dimensions. A battle is first won from the spiritual realm before its physical manifestation because the spiritual controls the physical, the invisible controls the visible. We must understand that spirituality goes beyond religiosity even though there is a nexus between the two. The question of spirituality and its role in the self-determination struggle is a major factor that shapes the practicality and gravity of our decision to carve out for ourselves a separate identity. What is more, the magnitude of our corporate effort directed towards our desired goal of Yoruba Sovereignty within the cosmos will determine our readiness for a just cause which the laws of Nature and God entitle us.

Dunes form where winds blow over a bed of mobile sediment grains – conditions that are common in our solar system. On Earth, dunes abound in arid continental interiors and along sandy coastlines. Dune fields have also been recognized on Venus, Mars, Saturn's moon Titan, and Pluto. In response to the different boundary conditions and other environmental forcings, dunes adopt a rich diversity of shapes, sizes, and behaviors. Thus, people around the globe and over centuries have developed a rich vocabulary to describe dunes and their complexity. As a result, existing dune nomenclature often includes redundant terms with differing definitions across scientific communities. Previous studies have endeavored to link dune shape to environmental forcing, usually by means of correlation.  Although instructive, correlation-based classifications can be misleading if not based on underlying mechanics or if dune morphogenetic classes are not uniquely defined. Here, we synthesize existing dune terminology and use the last two decades of research on dune morphodynamics to propose three complementary dune classification schemes based on: (1) descriptive dune geomorphology, (2) morphodynamic processes, and (3) fluid mechanics and physics of sediment transport. The first classification relates dune types to geomorphic setting, the presence or absence of vegetation or obstacles, and dune shape (including planform shape, and cross-sectional symmetry or asymmetry). Dune classes can be further subdivided where the direction of sand transport is known independently.The second classification relates dune types and shapes to bed properties (sand-covered vs partially starved bed) and wind forcing (directional variability or the relative strengths and directions of wind modes) that together influence dune dynamics (growth, migration, elongation) and select the dominant processes by which dunes are shaped and oriented relative to the resultant transport direction.The third classification relates, for different planetary environments, the range of possible dune sizes, from minimum to maximum wavelength, to fluid flow regime (rough or smooth) and the response of sediment flux, which influence the coupling between sand bed topography, fluid flow, and sediment transport. These characteristic lengths are useful scales for comparative geomorphology. The three classification schemes provide complementary information. Together, they form a unified framework for geomorphologists, sedimentologists, geographers, physicists, and others to describe windblown sand dunes on Earth and beyond through their shape, dynamics, and size as a response to winds and boundary conditions.
Beyond choices: humans can infer social preferences from response times alone
Authors: Bavard Sophie , Stuchlý Erik , Konovalov Arkady , Gluth Sebastian
Published: October 2023

Humans are known to be capable of inferring hidden preferences and beliefs of their conspecifics when observing their decisions. While observational learning based on choices has been explored extensively, the question of how response times (RT) impact our learning of others’ social preferences has received little attention. Yet, while observing choices alone can inform us about the direction of preference, they reveal little about the strength of this preference. In contrast, RT provide a continuous measure of strength of preference with faster responses indicating stronger preferences and slower responses signaling hesitation or uncertainty. Here, we outline a preregistered orthogonal design to investigate the involvement of both choices and RT in learning and inferring other’s social preferences. Participants observed other people’s behavior in a social preferences task (Dictator Game), seeing either their choices, RT, both, or no information. By coupling behavioral analyses with computational modeling, we show that RT is predictive of social preferences and that observers were able to infer those preferences even when receiving only RT information. Based on these findings, we propose a novel observational reinforcement learning model that closely matches participants’ inferences in all relevant conditions. In contrast to previous literature suggesting that, from a Bayesian perspective, people should be able to learn equally well from choices and RT, we show that observers’ behavior substantially deviates from this prediction. Our study elucidates a hitherto unknown sophistication in human observational learning but also identifies important limitations to this ability.
“Shape bias” goes social: Children categorize people by weight rather than race
Authors: Peretz-Lange Rebecca , Kibbe Melissa M.
Published: October 2023

Children tend to categorize novel objects according to their shape rather than their color, texture, or other salient properties – known as “shape bias.” We investigated whether this bias also extends to the social domain, where it should lead children to categorize people according to their weight (their body shape) rather than their race (their skin color). In Study 1, participants (n = 50 US four- and five-year-olds) were asked to extend a novel label from a target object/person to either an object/person who shared the target’s shape/weight, color/race, or neither. Children selected the shape-/weight-matched individual over the color-/race-matched individual (dobjects = 1.58, dpeople = .99) and their shape biases were correlated across the two domains. In Study 2, participants (n = 20 US four- and five-year-olds) were asked to extend a novel internal property from a target person to either a person who shared the target’s weight, race, or neither. Again, children selected the weight-matched individual (d=1.98), suggesting they view an individual’s weight as more predictive of their internal properties than their race. Overall, results suggest that children’s early shape bias extends into the social domain. Implications for weight bias and early social cognition are discussed.
Expectancy effects cannot be neglected in MDMA-assisted therapy research
Authors: Flameling L. J. , Aday Jacob S. , van Elk Michiel
Published: October 2023

In their recent paper titled “MDMA-assisted therapy for moderate to severe PTSD: a randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial”, Mitchell et al.1 report on the results from a study researching the potential use of 3,4-methylenedioxy methamphetamine-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT) for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We applaud the efforts made to further establish the efficacy of MDMA-AT in the treatment of PTSD. Yet, we have some concerns regarding the discussion of potential expectancy effects in this trial. Expectancy effects typically occur when participants in a clinical trial identify which treatment arm they were assigned to, and subsequently expect symptom alleviation if they are in the treatment group (i.e., placebo effects) or symptom worsening if they are in the control group (i.e., nocebo effects). Mitchell et al. put forth several arguments as to why they believe expectancy effects were minimal in this trial. However, as most of the participants broke the blind, and participants’ expectations were not measured, the authors’ arguments are merely speculative, and it remains possible that expectancy effects may have contributed to the observed effects of MDMA-AT.
Perceptions of Bullshitters: Is it Better or Worse Than Lying, And Do Intent and Consequences Matter?
Authors: Cole Christopher Evan
Published: October 2023

Four experiments investigated contextual factors influencing perceptions of liars and bullshitters. Participants rated actors engaging in lying or bullshitting with mild or severe consequences. Liars were perceived with lesser warmth and desired affiliation compared to bullshitters (Experiments 1 & 2). Actions with severe consequences led to judgments of lower morality, warmth, competence, and desired affiliation (Experiments 1-3). Only liars were penalized for severe consequences in desired affiliation (Experiment 3). Experiment 4 explored bullshitters' evaluations based on consequences and intentions. Results revealed reduced warmth, morality, and desired affiliation for bullshitters with malicious intent and actions resulting in severe consequences. These findings highlight the role of consequences and intentions in shaping perceptions of liars and bullshitters.

From Parenthood to Planet Care? The Evolution of Environmental and Climate Concerns during Family Formation
Authors: Zoch Gundula , Kapelle Nicole
Published: October 2023

We examine the effect of childbirth on parents’ environmental and climate concerns, focusing on potentially dynamic changes in concerns within a timespan of two years before and up to 10 years after birth. Additionally, we explore potential heterogeneities by gender, cultural context, educational attainment, and policy periods. By using long-running survey data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study (GSOEP, 1984 – 2020, N=142,779) and estimating linear probability fixed-effects regression models, we contribute substantially to previous research that has been limited by cross-sectional approaches and has found mixed and even contradictory results. Contrary to the popular notion that childbirth leads to higher levels of environmentalism based on legacy motives, our results suggest marginal and mostly negative effects of childbirth on environmental and climate concerns. Overall, the effects of childbirth on planetary concerns tended to be less pronounced in the first years after birth. Over time, however, these effects increased and even reversed. We found no exclusive patterns for men and women. However, there were nuances of relevance by education, normative context, and policy period, highlighting the complex nature of the nexus between family formation and environmentalism. Parents’ reduced focus on environmental and climate challenges may reflect denial mechanisms in highly stressful times, when parents' mental capacity and time availability is limited to immediate and novel challenges within their changed family unit, and when environmentally less favorable behaviors increase.

Capitalism and Marriage Practices- A case study of Pokhara Metropolitan City
Authors: Pokhrel Shreedhar
Published: October 2023

For the most of human history, the family was primarily concerned with producing economic output. Families were built around production, thus choosing a spouse depended on how effectively one could both produce, including having more kids to supply the labor for farm or small business needed. Women and men were "yoke mates," as Stephanie Coontz, the family historian, put it. Marriages were about the ties of what economists call “complementary productive human capital.” The rise of industrial system led to an increase in the amount of work performed outside of the home where people made bundle of social relationships. This all phenomenon results changes in marriage practice and love marriage becomes dominant features of capitalism where husband-wife relationship resolved around similar interests and consumption habits for rising the prosperity and easiness of life.

This paper examines the changing trends of marriage in capitalistic society and the factors affecting the selection of mate by arguing that selecting mate is not a personal decision but its outcome of particular form of society type and nature. The evidences presented here use data from both secondary literature and primary sources. The primary data have been purposively selected using case study methods on Pokhara Metropolitan city. Particular attention is paid to the transformation of marriage practices in city area with the rise of capitalism. The results indicate that the marriage institution have been changing rapidly than ever before with the rapid expansion of market economy, migration, education and communication which is directly or indirectly related to the personal decision of individuals mate selection process. The study also provides a more nuanced understanding of the involvement of men and women in decision making process for the selection of mate despite their caste and class.

Authors: Rai Arjun , Bhattarai Mandip
Published: October 2023

This study examined the impact of Pricing Attractiveness, Price Sensitivity, and Product Variety on Purchase Intention in the context of Nepali brand footwear in Nepal. The analysis was based on data collected from a sample of 248 respondents. Cronbach's alpha values were calculated for the items, indicating a high level of internal consistency for the overall set of items. Cronbach's alpha values for all the constructs, such as Pricing Attractiveness, Price Sensitivity, Purchase Intention, and Product Variety, were found to be acceptable. To examine the impact of explanatory variables on the dependent variable, a Linear Regression Model was used. The results revealed that all three predictor variables significantly influenced Purchase Intention. The overall model exhibited a good fit, explaining 33.1% of the variance in Purchase Intention. In conclusion, the study provides strong evidence for the internal consistency and reliability of the items used in measuring various constructs. Moreover, it highlights the importance of Pricing Attractiveness, Price Sensitivity, and Product Variety in influencing consumers' Purchase Intention. The findings contribute valuable insights for researchers and practitioners alike, offering potential avenues for the development of effective strategies to enhance consumer behavior and decision-making in relevant domains.

Effects of Age, Gender, and Education on Income of Petty Traders in Dharan During COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Khatiwada Sita Kumari
Published: October 2023

Petty trade refers to small-scale businesses operated by individual sellers on bicycles, carts, sheds, and small unorganized spaces. The epidemic of COVID-19 has had a great impact on the economy of Nepal like other countries. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to find out the effect of small businesses on household income due to COVID-19 in Dharan sub-metropolitan city. Data was collected through direct personal interviews with 48 people using a simple random sampling method. Collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics using SPSS. The Pearson correlation test explains the relationship between different variables, the independent sample t-test-, and the ANOVA test for the hypothesis test.  There is no significant relationship between household income and with age, gender, and education of petty traders. Similarly, this study concludes that the planners and policymakers of the Dharan sub-metropolitan city need to formulate appropriate policies and manage the business of the informal sector including small traders. The government should encourage programs that protect the economic rights of small traders and reduce various taxes imposed on them.

Clinical assessment, chest X-ray (CXR) and chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) are used in the management of Corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19). This retrospective cross sectional study included 251 patients admitted to Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital (NMCTH) with a diagnosis of COVID‑19 infection confirmed by Reverse Transcriptase- Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT‑PCR). These patients underwent chest HRCT within the first two weeks of hospital admission. Images were evaluated for various HRCT findings & semi- quantitative CT Severity Score (CT –SS) was calculated based on the extent of lobar involvement. Out of 251 patients with positive RT PCR test, 127 were male (50.6%) and 124 female (49.4%). Typical bilateral peripheral subpleural ground glass opacities were demonstrated in 98.8% of patients; followed by thoracic lymphadenopathy (80.8%), interlobular septal thickening (80.4%),vascular changes (44.2%), focal consolidation (28.6%), consolidation with ground glass opacity (15%), pleural effusion (13.1%) bronchiectasis (3.8%), fibrotic changes (3.1%) and reversed halo pattern (0.7%). Calculated CT- SS showed moderate score in 130 patients (51.7%) followed by severe score in 67 patients (26.6%) and mild score in 51 patients (20.3%). HRCT can be used as a one stop radiological investigation for the diagnosis and prognosis of corona virus disease and CT -SS might be beneficial for diagnostic workflow in symptomatic cases.

Bakteri patogen Ralstonia solanacearum dapat menurunkan produktivitas tanaman cabai. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas kombinasi isolat Pseudomonas fluorescent Pf-142 dan jamur mikoriza arbuskula terhadap R.solanacearumsecara in vivo. Penelitian ini menggunakan percobaan RAK dua faktorial, faktor pertama adalah kombinasi Pseudomonas fluorescent Pf-142 dengan pupuk hayati mikoriza yang terdiri dari P1 = 10 ml suspensi bakteri Pf-142 + 0 gr pupuk hayati mikoriza), P2 (7,5 ml suspensi bakteri Pf -142 + 2,5 gr pupuk hayati mikoriza), P3 (5 ml suspensi bakteri Pf-142 + 5 gr pupuk hayati mikoriza), P4 (2,5 ml suspensi bakteri Pf-142 + 7,5 gr pupuk hayati mikoriza), dan P5 (0 ml suspensi bakteri Pf-142 + 10 gr pupuk hayati mikoriza). Faktor kedua adalah waktu aplikasi yang terdiri dari T1 (7 hari sebelum tanam), T2 (saat tanam). Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa perlakuan 5 ml suspensi bakteri Pf-142 + 5 gr pupuk hayati mikoriza yang diaplikasikan 7 hari sebelum tanam mampu menunda gejala penyakit lay bakteri hingga 11,5 hari, perlakuan 10 ml bakteri suspensi Pf-142 + 0 gr pupuk hayati mikoriza yang diaplikasikan saat tanam memiliki keparahan penyakit sebesar 16%, dan perlakuan 0 ml suspensi bakteri Pf-142 + 10 gr pupuk hayati mikoriza yang diaplikasikan saat tanam memiliki proporsi akar terkolonisasi mikoriza sebesar 77,59%.
