Is a good bot better than a mediocre human?: Chatbots as alternative sources of social connection
Authors: Folk Dunigan Parker , Yu Stephanie , Dunn Elizabeth Warren
Published: February 2022

Around the world, hundreds of millions of people have used social chatbots designed to provide companionship to their users. But can people reap genuine feelings of social connection and happiness from interacting with chatbots? In Studies 1-4 (all pre-registered; N = 1201), participants shared good news with an interaction partner whom they believed was either a chatbot or a human. The conversation partner responded in either a highly responsive or less responsive manner. Interacting with a highly responsive chatbot was more rewarding than interacting with a less responsive human. Participants who believed they interacted with a highly responsive chatbot felt more rapport, were more socially connected, felt better about their own positive experience, and were in a better mood than participants who interacted with a less responsive human. In a final pre-registered study (n = 401), we identified a critical boundary condition by examining whether participants derived similar benefits when the chatbot partners shared their own experiences. Taken together, our results suggest that despite their inherent lack of agency, chatbots that are programmed to respond in an optimal manner may deliver greater social benefits than suboptimal human conversation partners.
Multilingual realities, monolingual ideologies: Social media representations of Spanish as a heritage language in the United States
Authors: Kircher Ruth , Kutlu Ethan
Published: February 2022

Little is known about how monolingual ideologies and their effects manifest in online contexts as compared to offline contexts. We conducted a corpus-assisted discourse study to investigate this, with a focus on Twitter representations of Spanish as a heritage language in the United States. We analysed two corpora (one English and one Spanish – over 30 million words), examining frequencies, collocations, concordance lines, and larger text segments. The results revealed evidence of the same ideologies found in offline contexts: normative monolingualism (drawing on the one-nation-one-language ideology and language purity ideologies) as well as raciolinguistic ideologies. We show how the semiotic processes of iconization and erasure lead to the (evidently erroneous) essentialisation of Spanish heritage language speakers as a homogeneous group of un- American, racialized immigrants with broken language. This discursive creation of difference constitutes the basis for the systematic discrimination of Spanish heritage language speakers, thus reflecting and reproducing social inequality. Our findings therefore indicate the necessity of extending planning measures to protect heritage language speakers (and other minority groups) from offline contexts to online contexts.

Challenges to creating a circular economy to minimise plastic waste: a qualitative study of stakeholders
Authors: Roy Debbie , Berry Emma , Orr Karen , Dempster Martin
Published: February 2022

Previous research exploring the psychological, social, and environmental barriers to recycling has predominantly focused on consumer attitude and behaviour. However the plastics system involves a chain of stakeholders with a role in decision-making and actions in relation to plastic production and management post-use, affirming the need to explore the barriers to recycle across various other stakeholders implicated in the lifecycle of plastic product and packaging.To expand this evidence-base, N=12 in-depth qualitative semi-structured interviews explored the perspectives of stakeholders responsible for various aspects of the plastic life cycle (plastic manufacturers, retailers, and waste management professionals). Using a semi-directed content analysis approach via NVivo, three overarching themes were extracted from the data: 1) Disempowerment and lost opportunities 2) Solutions and opportunities reside with use of legislation 3) The circular economy stakeholders need motivation, and to be more knowledgeable. The themes suggest that stakeholders implicated in the plastics lifecycle lack motivation and perceived personal and organisational efficacy to generate meaningful change in the plastics system, which is exacerbated by a lack of collegial partnerships between stakeholders to facilitate knowledge transfer and collective action. This study recommends greater collaboration and communication between stakeholders implicated in the end-to-end plastic ‘chain’, having shed light on important socio-political and pragmatic barriers to reducing plastic waste.
Cross-national and longitudinal evidence for a rapid decline in life satisfaction in adolescence
Authors: Daly Michael
Published: February 2022

IntroductionWhile several studies have documented a declining-with-age trend in life satisfaction in adolescence, cross-national and nationally representative longitudinal evidence is needed to establish the normative trajectory of life satisfaction during this critical developmental period.Methods The Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study of 10 to 16 year-olds included the Cantril Ladder life satisfaction measure in surveys of 43 countries between 2001 and 2014 (N = 752,620, 51% female). The UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) was used to assess within-person changes in life satisfaction from age 10 to 15 years among young people sampled between 2009 and 2018 (N = 8,952, Obs. = 30,278). ResultsLife satisfaction decreased by 0.61 standard deviations (SD) on average from ages 10-16 in the HBSC sample. A statistically significant decreasing-with-age trend was observed in each of the 43 countries examined. Females experienced a more pronounced decline in life satisfaction than males (0.75 SD vs. 0.46) on average, and a significantly larger decrease in life satisfaction among females was identified in 38 of 43 countries examined. Longitudinal analysis of adolescents from the UKHLS sample replicated this pattern: life satisfaction declined significantly by 0.5 SD between the ages of 10 and 15 and this decline was found to be steeper for females (0.76 SD) than males (0.23 SD).ConclusionsThe study findings enhance our understanding of the lifespan dynamics of life satisfaction and point to a potential universal decline in life satisfaction in adolescence. Understanding the developmental processes underlying this phenomenon will now be crucial.

Published: February 2022

Depression is a heterogeneous mental disorder involving a complex interplay between potential etiological and maintenance factors. The current study examined how depression heterogeneity is related to attentional functioning. Relying on person-specific network models, we explored the associations between symptom centrality (expected influence) and impairments in attention (orienting, alerting and executive control). Participants (N = 82) with ongoing and remitted depression were enrolled to 13 days of intensive assessment of depression symptoms in their daily life using a smartphone app. Based on these data, person-specific network models were estimated using vector autoregression modelling. Orienting, alerting and executive control were assessed using the Attentional Network Test in the laboratory. Person-specific networks showed large variability in symptom dynamics. Higher centrality for low positive affect and fatigue were associated with reduced orienting efficiency (r = .35, p < .05; r = .30, p < .05, respectively). Results are discussed in relation to anhedonia- and reward-related processes. In conclusion, this study points towards the importance of individual symptom dynamics when considering cognitive functioning in depression.
Globalization, Government Popularity, and the Great Skill Divide
Authors: Aksoy Cevat Giray , Guriev Sergei , Treisman Daniel
Published: February 2022

We provide the first large-scale, global evidence on the impact of the skill composition of trade on political approval. We show that political implications of trade shocks depend on the relationship between workers’ skills and the characteristics of goods traded. Using Gallup World Poll surveys of a million respondents from 120 countries over 2005-2018, we show that growth in high skill intensive exports increases confidence in government among skilled individuals relative to unskilled ones. Growth in high skill intensive imports has the opposite effect. Growth in low skill intensive exports (imports) increases (decreases) confidence in government among unskilled individuals relative to skilled ones. Toidentify causal relationships, we construct instruments based on time-varying effects of air and sea distances on bilateral trade in goods of different skill intensity.

Finalmente, propondré a modo de ejemplo analítico al conjunto de los «biosferismos», entendido como ideas sobre el ambiente que requieren previamente una concepción planetaria y científica de la vida, aun cuando sus intereses específicos sean locales o con objetivos preferentemente éticos o políticosAbstractIn the following paper I present a classification of eidetic expressions, reformulating the criteria set forth by Eduardo Devés and Andrés Kozel in Estudios Eidéticos. I propose two axes, one of complexity and scope, and another of genealogy-ontogeny, which describe synchronic and diachronic variables, respectively. Finally, I will propose as an analytical example the set of "biospherisms", understood as ideas about the environment that require a planetary and scientific conception of life, even when their specific interests are local or with preferably ethical or political objectives.

Social Mobility and Disability: A Neglected Relationship
Authors: Chatzitheochari Stella , Velthuis Sanne , Connelly Roxanne
Published: February 2022

Disability theorists have long highlighted the role of institutional, social, and environmental barriers in constructing disability, emphasizing its parallels with other socially constructed axes of stratification. However, despite theoretical developments towards more sociological understandings of disability, mainstream accounts of social inequality have largely neglected disability as a social division. This research note aims to encourage social stratification and life-course research on disability by demonstrating overlooked inequalities between disabled and non-disabled young people’s social mobility and early adulthood destinations. Drawing on data from the Next Steps cohort study, our visualizations shed light on stark disability differentials, highlighting the association of disability status with parental social class in influencing young people’s early adulthood transitions. We proceed to outline future avenues for data collection and research that can contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms behind these inequalities
The Platformization of Gender and Sexual Identities: An Algorithmic Analysis of Pornhub

Published: February 2022

Online pornography, like other forms of cultural production, is increasingly subject to processes of platformization. While research has focused on the diffusion of online pornography and its broader implications, less attention has been paid to the algorithmic infrastructures through which platforms distribute and manage pornographic content, and how this might reiterate socially embedded views and perspectives. To fill this gap, we consider how Pornhub, currently the leading porn platform, establishes the gender identity of its users, and how this affects the structure of the platform and the distribution and recommendation of content within it. We collected data about 1.600 variations of Pornhub’s homepages, as well as data about 25.000 videos suggested to 10 accounts with differing self-declared gender identities. Through this data and an analysis of the signup procedure, we underline how Pornhub segments, distributes, and manages content based on the profiling of its users, increasingly following the logics of the platformization of content. Findings point to how Pornhub’s algorithmic suggestions and the structure of the platform concur to reiterate a heteronormative perspective on sexual desire, sexuality, and gender identities.

Published: February 2022

This case study aimed to explore Saudi EFL students’ attitudes towards learning writing by using blogging in practicing their writing activities and tasks. It also sought to measure the effectiveness of blogging as an effective approach to enhance student’s writing abilities. The participants in this study were five students second-year undergraduate EFL students studying in the Department of English in Saudi university. The participants had completed a writing skills course as a compulsory course in their study program. A semi-structured interview was used to acquire data for this case study in order to learn about learners’ blogging experiences. The semi-structured interview data were analyzed thematically. The findings showed that the learners’ attitudes were positive toward using the class blog as a beneficial approach in EFL writing classes. Furthermore, they confirmed that their English writing skills improved as a result of blogging. Additionally, they mentioned that blogging enabled them to build an interactive learning environment in which they could share their experiences and perspectives with their peers and learn from one another. Finally, the study, emphasizes the importance of using blogging in EFL writing classes and recommends that blogging to be part of writing teaching curricula at the university level.
Children's Transitions to Adulthood and Aging Mothers' Depressive Symptoms
Authors: Zhang Xing , Hammersmith Anna
Published: February 2022

Objectives: We examine how the timing of children’s transitions to adulthood are associated with mother’s depressive symptoms. Mothers and children are close over the life course. However, these relationships often change as mothers age and children enter adulthood. Today, the transition to adulthood has become delayed and increasingly unstable among children with the timing of the acquisition of a college degree, full-time employment, and marriage shifting from young adulthood to adulthood. This may have consequences for mothers’ depressive symptoms. Method: Using data from Waves I, IV, and V of Add Health and Wave II of the Add Health Parent Study, we employ OLS regressions to investigate how transitions to adulthood (e.g., college completion, employment, and marriage) for children and timing of transitions (i.e., in young adulthood or adulthood) are linked to depressive symptoms of aging mothers. Results: We find children’s education was negatively associated with mother’s depressive symptoms if the adult child had completed a college degree by young adulthood, relative to those who did not attain a college degree by adulthood. However, for marriage, this transition was only significantly linked to reduced depressive symptoms if the adult child had ever married by adulthood. Our findings reveal the mental health of aging mothers is influenced by circumstances in the lives of adult children, such as acquisition of a college degree and entry into marriage. However, the timing of transitions is less important.
Resource Orchestration in Business Groups
Authors: Min Won Kyung
Published: February 2022

We study the resource orchestration mechanisms within a business group, focusing on human personnel recruitment in and transfer across the Korean chaebol sister firms. We provide a resource orchestration framework applicable for a business group under times of strategic change. Using three mechanisms of resource orchestration—stabilizing, enriching, and pioneering, business groups in differing levels of strategic change. Using an unbalanced panel data of executive hiring in Korean chaebols, we find that resource orchestration is effectuated through sister-firm executive transfers and through internal and external hiring, firms arrive at desired levels of strategic change.
What a Difference a Definition Makes: Mismatches in Partner Markets Across Three Decades in Denmark
Authors: Simonsen Emil A.L. , Fallesen Peter
Published: February 2022

In this study, we apply a framework that allows a flexible approach to understanding and evaluating mismatch in partner markets and studies three decades of data on the complete Danish population aged 25-45. We evaluate the importance of including people in cohabiting unions as being “off the market” as well as allowing people searching for a partner to obtain one from existing relationships. In doing so, we document the key role of considering both cohabitation and market reentry, as well as document an increasingly mismatched partner market for women driven primarily by changes in demand, whereas men experience declining supply due to an increasingly geographically polarized market, while their demand also changes. In addition, we show that the probability of obtaining a partner from an existing relationship increases the more mismatched a partner market people face. Our findings are relevant for understanding current processes of fertility decline and rise in single living.

PROGRESS IN FIELD EXPERIMENTATION FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE TOURISM – A knowledge map and research agenda
Authors: Demeter Csilla , Fechner David , Dolnicar Sara
Published: February 2022

The global aspiration to mitigate climate change puts substantial pressure on the tourism sector – one of the most polluting industries – to operate in more sustainable ways. This study reviews intervention experiments in tourism and hospitality aimed at making tourist behaviour more sustainable. The analysis of 53 field experiments reveals the most promising intervention strategies. The resulting knowledge map highlights that past intervention studies were limited to only a small number of relevant target behaviours and intervention types, pointing to many unexplored areas that require urgent attention in future.
Prosocial engagement among older Finns: Are informal help and care associated with volunteering and charity?
Authors: Tanskanen Antti O , Hämäläinen Hans , Danielsbacka Mirkka
Published: February 2022

Older adults’ engagement in various prosocial activities is a salient question in present-day societies that aim to promote active ageing. Using population-based data of older Finns (n = 2,184) from 2012, we examined their prosocial activities and investigated whether providing informal help (i.e. practical help, financial support, or personal care) to relatives and friends is associated with participation in volunteering and charity, respectively. Overall, five per cent of the participants provided all examined forms of informal help and volunteered, 16 per cent provided two types of help and volunteered, and 23 per cent provided one type of help and volunteered. In addition, nine per cent of the participants provided all types of informal help and made charitable donations, 33 per cent provided two types of help and made charitable donations, and 54 per cent provided one type of help and made charitable donations. Practical help and care channelled outside the household were associated with an increased probability of volunteering, although they were not associated with the probability of making charitable donations. Practical help, financial support, and personal care provided to friends were particularly important predictors of volunteering and charity. These results are discussed in the context of the role overload and role extension hypotheses.
PRIVACY AND POWER AROUND BEIJING 2022 OLYMPICS: LEGAL AND POLITICAL PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Zhang Qianye
Published: February 2022

The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 launched a smartphone application, MY2022, to monitor the health status of participants to control the spread of the virus. However, Citizen Lab, a Canadian research institute, found that the application has weak or unencrypted encryption in the data storage and transmission process, leading to users' privacy being exposed to potential leakage risk. In addition, the study found that the app's instant messaging feature contained a list of sensitive words that had not been activated. Although Citizen Lab's report stated that these security vulnerabilities might be unintentional failures by developers rather than an intentional arrangement by the Chinese government, the criticisms were still widely cited by international media, bringing pressure for the Chinese Olympic Committee and the Chinese authorities. Despite that International Olympic Committee and the Chinese Olympic Committee declared to have fixed the bugs after the release of the research report, much beyond the technical failures awaits Beijing to learn.
The Social Dimensions of Collaboration in Co-Working Spaces
Authors: Bencosme Lorena Raquel Espaillat
Published: February 2022

Despite recent efforts to understand and improve work environments, motivated by the need of designers and stakeholders to grasp their social and spatial dynamics –and better respond to users’ needs– co-working spaces remain an under-investigated typology of workspace. These community-driven workplaces differ in many ways from traditional offices, however, existing studies on office spaces aid the design of a research tailored to enquire into this sub-type. The development of a methodological framework for the analysis of co-working spaces is one of the main objectives of this thesis.Space syntax theory guides the exploration of this type of complex building, an evidence-based approach that is demonstrated here to have a significant contribution to the understanding of the built environment and social phenomena. By systematically observing human behaviour in space and performing analytical models of it, this research investigates the social dimensions of collaboration: a progressive consideration of collaboration as a practice that begins with spatial awareness of others, potentially leads to interaction, and ultimately gives the affordance for collaboration. The focus is on the potential of co-working spaces to facilitate professional collaboration between independent yet co-located workers. Through the study of a co-working space in London, this research has found that interaction and collaboration are complex behaviours that can be better understood through the combination of analytical tools derived from space syntax theory and social networks analysis, an innovative approach to interpret and represent spatial data applied to co-working spaces.

Published: February 2022

Face-to-face interviews are still the standard in conducting cross-national surveys. Although web surveys have many advantages, so far they have rarely been used in cross-national surveys. The main problem of using web in cross-national surveys are coverage error of people without internet access and problems with the availability of sampling frames. This study reports on a large-scale experiment with a push-to-web survey design in Croatia, Germany and Portugal to overcome these problems.We experimentally assigned individuals to a face-to-face only condition or a push-to-web condition, in which non-respondents to the web-phase of the study were followed-up by face-to-face interviewers. We additionally conducted three within-country experiments to better understand how incentive structures (in Germany) and the spacing of reminders (In Croatia) affected response rates and nonresponse bias. In Portugal, we test different within-household selection procedures.We find that in Germany and Croatia the push-to-web design was equally or more successful than the face-to-face survey in terms of the response rate and nonresponse bias. In Portugal, the push-to-web design was not successful, leading to low response rates and problems in the respondent selection process. We also find that a mix of unconditional and conditional incentives works best, and that weekly reminders work better than two-weekly reminders. Overall, we conclude that it is possible to use a push-to-web design as long as a sampling frame of individuals is available.
Berkeley Unified Numident Mortality Database: Public Administrative Records for Individual-Level Mortality Research
Authors: Breen Casey , Goldstein Joshua R.
Published: February 2022

While much progress has been made in understanding the demographic determinants of mortality in the United States using individual survey data and aggregate tabulations, the lack of population-level register data is a barrier to further advances in mortality research. With the release of Social Security application (SS-5), claim, and death records, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has created a new administrative data resource for researchers studying mortality. We introduce the Berkeley Unified Numident Mortality Database (BUNMD), a cleaned and harmonized version of these records. This publicly available dataset provides researchers access to over 49 million individual-level mortality records with demographic covariates and fine geographic detail, allowing for high-resolution mortality research.
The Politics of a Sustainable Coast: Competing Adaptation Cultures in Southeastern Louisiana
Authors: Haedicke Michael
Published: February 2022

This chapter analyzes competing visions of climate adaptation in coastal Louisiana, a place where the risks of rising seas and severe storms are compounded by ongoing land subsidence. It connects the theoretical approach of the climate cultures literature with ideas from the political economy of the environment, which focuses on how groups with different interests and perceptions of risk and resilience struggle for influence in the political process. Using data from 37 qualitative interviews with highly involved supporters and critics of Louisiana’s “Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast”, the chapter explores how these adaptation cultures entwine with debates that pit regional economic development against social equity and pro-business sentiment against a desire for industry accountability. It demonstrates that in this region, differences in climate cultures are linked to place-based struggles in which groups strive to advance different interests and goals.
Fame as an Illusion of Creativity: Evidence from Pioneers of Abstract Art
Authors: Banerjee Mitali , Ingram Paul
Published: February 2022

We disentangle two social structural views of fame: whether social structure influences fame directly or through the mechanism of creativity. We test these views in a significant empirical context: 90 pioneers of the early 20th century (1910–25) abstract art movement. Across two different types of ties, we find that social structure shapes fame directly rather than through the mechanism of enhanced creativity. Within the social structure of informal ties, an artist with greater structural and compositional diversity among her peers is likely to be more famous. Within the social structure of co-exhibition ties, an artist who is a part of a tight-knit clique is likely to be more famous. Across both types of ties, the effect of social structure is not associated with the artist’s creativity, which we measured using both subjective expert evaluations and an objective machine learning method. Rather, we argue that an artist with more nationally diverse peers had a creative identity that garnered more fame.
Explaining viral pandemics with help from Theology and Physics - Alternative Hypotheses.
Authors: Poduri Chetan Datta
Published: February 2022

Pathogens have been plaguing humans since time immemorial. One characteristic feature is repetition of pandemics by the same pathogen(s) resulting in devastation. However, starting CE 1880, the offending pathogens have been different with every episode. Borrowing concepts from theology and physics, this article tries to proffer answers to some aspects observed regarding Viruses, Vectors, and Humans, and thereby tries to redefine our thinking on the concepts of viral infections. These aspects being: how pandemics occur in the first instance, the rapid global spread of the current Covid-19 Pandemic and will the humanity be able to control such pandemics in future.
Social security or insecurity? The experience of welfare participation by financially vulnerable households in the Netherlands.
Authors: Simonse Olaf , Vanderveen Gabry , van Dillen Lotte Frederike , van Dijk Wilco , van Dijk Erik
Published: February 2022

Social welfare aims to support financially vulnerable households by protecting them from financial shocks and providing them with a basic standard of living. Many eligible households, however, do not take up social welfare. We present the results of in-depth interviews with 31 members of financially vulnerable households in two large Dutch cities about their experiences with welfare. We examined the role that money played in their lives, what inhibited them from taking up social welfare, and how they sought support. For many interviewed households, money was a source of stress. We found that the fear of reclaims and mistrust in government institutions were the main inhibitors for participating in welfare programs. Whereas the experience of shame and stigma were substantial inhibitors for claiming local welfare benefits, they were not for participating in national welfare programs. Both formal and informal help promoted welfare participation, but many participants lacked access to both forms of help. We discuss policies that could decrease the uncertainty associated with benefits receipt and give directions for future research.
Applying the principles of Evidence-Based Public Health in addressing the diabetes mellitus epidemic among African-American communities living in the district of Colombia: a literature review
Authors: opara Nnennaya , Opara Emmanuel
Published: February 2022

Diabetes is an epidemic in the United States and is ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in the District of Columbia. According to the US Census population in 2010, >52,000 out of 610,000 residents have been diagnosed with diabetes. The highest prevalence was noted in wards 4, 5, 7, and 8, with the worst impact recorded in ward 8. The diabetes death rate among African Americans is five times that for Caucasians living in Colombia district, according to the DC department of health. There is an 11% disparity in the prevalence of diabetes when comparing black- and white people in the district (14% and 3%, respectively). This amounts to more than double the 6% disparity in the national population. This is also evident at both district and nationwide levels (prevalence of diabetes among people with no high school diploma, 21%; that in college graduates, 5%). The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a life-threatening condition and diabetes-related complication is increasing in Colombia district and is rated as the number one cause of death from diabetes. In 2010, the newly diagnosed ESRD cases (420) and total number of ESRD cases due to diabetes (642) in the district were twice that of neighboring states (Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia) and the entire US. In this review, the importance of implementing an evidence-based public health program in solving the epidemic of diabetes among the black community living in Ward 8 is emphasized. This study applies to every poor or minority ethnic group worldwide and in the US.
Experienced survey participants, biased responses? – The example of cognitive reflection
Authors: Gruener Sven , Hirschauer Norbert
Published: February 2022

The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is used in behavioral studies to describe individuals as intuitive or reflective. In recent years, behavioral scientists have increasingly recruited participants on online platforms. Besides convenience, apt platform recruitment is believed to increase validity and facilitate more meaningful inferences towards the population of interest compared to studies based on students. But particularly with regard to CRT, there is an often-underestimated drawback: “experienced clickers” might systematically distort findings.

Use of the Generalized Bandwidth Allocation Model (G-BAM) for Compliance with Network Neutrality – Proposal and Evaluation
Authors: Barreto David Santana e Silva , Martins Joberto S. B.
Published: February 2022

The flow of data across the Internet has grown considerably in the last years and maintains this trend in volume, complexity, and variety, and therefore needs to be adequately managed by ISPs. Network neutrality represents the concept that ISPs should not discriminate against internet traffic in general based on its source, destination, and content. Several countries adopt a hard stance and prohibit certain abusive conduct from achieving this goal. An open issue and challenging task are to propose an operational and effective traffic management model that can implement and comply with network neutrality on ISP's networks. This dissertation presents evidence on the use of Bandwidth Allocation Models (BAMs) as a mechanism to implement neutrality in IP/MPLS networks. BAMs, in brief, can allocate resources on-demand and have distinct “behaviors” that can achieve network neutrality. This work introduces the AllocTC-Sharing behavior reproduced by the Generalized Bandwidth Allocation Model (G-BAM). It discusses how this behavior can perform a network operation following network neutrality, even using service differentiation. Finally, it simulates and evaluates the compliance with the established rules, considering a non-discriminatory mapping of applications in different Traffic Classes. The results indicate that the AllocTC-Sharing behavior is appropriate and compatible with the net neutrality rules.

Introduction: During the time of volcano eruptions, farmers have to harvest their crops before the stipulated harvest time, which leads to quality and quantity loss. Besides, farmers also have to continue their farming activities, including purchasing farming necessities. These unaddressed issues of the agricultural restoration could be one of the key factors to malnutrition. Therefore, this study assessed the associations between farmers’ expenditures and the nutritional status of children in areas affected by Indonesia’s Sinabung eruption. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 444 (158 farmers, 228 farmers cum farm labourers, and 58 farm labourers) households headed by farmers. The questionnaire used for data collection was the Indonesian Family Life Survey questions (IFLS). Results: Non-food expenditures had a huge impact on household livelihoods, which was significantly associated with children’s nutritional status. Among the three groups of farmers, children of farmers and farmers cum farm labourers were prone to malnutrition. This was because these two groups had to limit food expenditures over their farming necessities and cigarettes expenditure, which took more than half of their income. However, the prevalence of malnutrition was highest in children of farmers. Children of farm labourers had better nutritional status compared to children of the other two groups. Conclusion: Children of farmers and farmers cum farm labourers were prone to malnutrition due to limited expenditure on food. This study suggests that policymakers in Indonesia should provide food and nutrition security to children who were impacted by the Sinabung eruption.
