A mixed methods approach to improve the measurement of alcohol-induced blackouts: ABOM-2
Authors: Boness Cassandra L. , Gatten Natalie , Treece McKenna , Miller Mary Beth
Published: December 2021

Background: Alcohol-induced blackouts describe memory loss resulting from alcohol consumption. Approximately half of college students report experiencing a blackout in their lifetime. Blackouts are associated with an increased risk for negative consequences, including serious injury. Research has documented two types of blackouts, en bloc (EB) and fragmentary (FB). However, research is limited by lack of a validated measure that differentiates between these two forms of blackout. This study used a mixed methods approach to improve the assessment of FB and EB among young adults. We specifically sought to improve the existing Alcohol-Induced Blackout Measure (ABOM), which was derived from a relatively small pool of items that did not distinguish FB from EB. Methods: Study 1 used three rounds of cognitive interviewing with college students (N=31) to refine existing assessment items. Nineteen refined blackout items were retained for Study 2. Study 2 used face validity, factor analysis, item response theory, and external validation analyses to test the two-factor blackout model among heavy-drinking college students (N=474) and to develop and validate a new blackout measure (ABOM-2). Results: Iterative factor analyses demonstrated that the items were well-represented by correlated EB and FB factors, consistent with our hypothesis. External validation analyses demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity, and there was preliminary evidence for the two factors having differential predictive validity (e.g., FB correlated with enhancement drinking motives, while EB correlated with coping and conformity motives). Conclusions: The Alcohol-Induced Blackout Measure-2 (ABOM-2) improves measurement of blackout experiences among college students and will facilitate examination of EB and FB as differential predictors of alcohol-related outcomes in future studies.
Heterogeneity of social anxiety in treatment-seeking adults who stutter: A latent profile analysis
Authors: Haitani Tomosumi , Sakai Naomi , Mori Koichi , Houjou Tomohito
Published: December 2021

Purpose: Adults who stutter (AWS) often experience social anxiety. Social anxiety is explained by several situational factors, one of which is a factor for telephone, which is unique to AWS. This unique social anxiety, which has not been observed in individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD), may lead to heterogeneity or distinct subtypes of AWS. The present study aimed to investigate the heterogeneity of social anxiety in AWS in terms of feared social situations.Methods: Social anxiety was measured using the fear/anxiety scale of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS). The scores of the five subscales in the LSAS in 562 AWS were analyzed using latent profile analysis. First, the number of latent classes (subtypes) was determined through statistical criteria and interpretability. Next, the profiles of social anxiety, demographic data, communication attitudes, and the overall severity of social anxiety of the subtypes were investigated.Results: Five latent class solutions led to good classifications. About one-quarter of AWS (156) were included in a subtype with sub-clinical levels of overall severity of social anxiety but severe social anxiety in telephone situations. Among them, 100 AWS showed severe social anxiety only in telephone situations. Psychosocial factors, including employment status and communication attitude, were related to extracted subtypes.Conclusions: Some AWS have severe social anxiety specific to telephone situations, which is not proportional to the overall severity of social anxiety. The telephone-specific subtype of social anxiety has not been empirically extracted in principal diagnosis of SAD and can be unique in AWS.
Situational factors influencing social anxiety in treatment-seeking adults who stutter: An exploratory factor analysis
Authors: Haitani Tomosumi , Sakai Naomi , Mori Koichi , Houjou Tomohito
Published: December 2021

Purpose: Adults who stutter (AWS) often show high levels of social anxiety. Stuttering is a speech disorder, making the latent factors influencing social anxiety potentially different from those in individuals with a social anxiety disorder (SAD) or general populations. This study aims to examine the situational factors influencing social anxiety in AWS.Methods: We analyzed data of 351 AWS using the fear/anxiety scale in the Japanese self-report version of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS). We conducted exploratory factor analysis and investigated subscale scores.Results: We extracted five factors: (i) eating, drinking, and party, (ii) telephone, (iii) observation or non-speech, (iv) interaction with strangers, and (v) public speaking. The factor for telephone was newly extracted, and anxiety in telephone situations was poorly explained by the total score of fear/anxiety of the LSAS. On the other hand, the other four factors are similar to those previously extracted in individuals with SAD and general populations, and more than 60% of the variance of the subscale constructs was explained by the total score. Preliminary comparisons revealed that AWS had saliently higher anxiety in telephone situations and lower anxiety in observation or non-speech situations than individuals with anxiety disorders and Japanese university students.Conclusions: The factor for telephone was uniquely extracted in AWS, and the severity of anxiety in telephone situations was not explained well by the overall severity of social anxiety as a whole. Telephone situations have specific impacts on social anxiety in AWS.
Distributed neural systems enable flexible attention updating during category learning
Authors: Weichart Emily Ruth , Evans Daniel , Galdo Matthew , Bahg Giwon , Turner Brandon
Published: December 2021

In order to accurately categorize novel items, humans learn to selectively attend to stimulus dimensions that are most relevant to the task. Models of category learning describe the interconnected cognitive processes that contribute to selective attention as observations of stimuli and category feedback are progressively acquired. The Adaptive Attention Representation Model (AARM), for example, provides an account whereby categorization decisions are based on the perceptual similarity of a new stimulus to stored exemplars, and dimension-wise attention is updated on every trial in the direction of a feedback-based error gradient. As such, attention modulation as described by AARM requires interactions among orienting, visual perception, memory retrieval, error monitoring, and goal maintenance in order to facilitate learning across trials. The current study explored the neural bases of attention mechanisms using quantitative predictions from AARM to analyze behavioral and fMRI data collected while participants learned novel categories. GLM analyses revealed patterns of BOLD activation in the parietal cortex (orienting), visual cortex (perception), medial temporal lobe (memory retrieval), basal ganglia (error monitoring), and prefrontal cortex (goal maintenance) that covaried with the magnitude of model-predicted attentional tuning. Results are consistent with AARM’s specification of attention modulation as a dynamic property of distributed cognitive systems.
A Plausible role of Imagination in Pretense, Executive Functions, and Counterfactual Reasoning
Authors: Francis Gill A , Gibson Jenny Louise
Published: December 2021

A notable observation is the similarities in the cognitive processes of pretend play (PP) and counterfactual reasoning (CFR) as both involve thinking about alternatives to reality. It is argued by Weisberg and Gopnik (2013) that alternative thinking in PP and CFR is underpinned by an imaginary representational capacity but few studies have investigated this link. We use a variable latent modelling approach to test a hypothetical model of the structural relationship of PP and CFR predicting that if PP and CFR are cognitively similar; they should have similar patterns of associations with Executive Functions (EFs). Data were collected on PP, CFR, EFs, and Language from 189 children (M = 4.8 years, males = 101, females = 88). Confirmatory factor analyses showed that measures of PP and CFR loaded onto single latent constructs and were significantly correlated (r = 0.57, p = .001). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that EF accounted for unique variance in both PP and CFR. The results of the structural equation modelling revealed that the data was a good fit of the hypothetical model. We discuss the plausible role of a general underlying imaginative representational capacity to explain similarities in the cognitive mechanisms of different states of alternative thinking like PP and CFR.

Formulative Visualization of Numerical Methods for Solving Non-Linear Ordinary Differential Equations
Authors: Kafle Jeevan , Thakur Bhogendra Kumar , Acharya Grishma
Published: December 2021

Many physical problems in the real world are frequently modeled by ordinary diﬀerential equations (ODEs). Real-life problems are usually non-linear, numerical methods are therefore needed to approximate their solution. We consider diﬀerent numerical methods viz., Explicit (Forward) and Implicit (Backward) Euler method, Classical second-order Runge-Kutta (RK2) method (Heun’s method or Improved Euler method), Third-order Runge-Kutta (RK3) method, Fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method, and Butcher ﬁfth-order Runge-Kutta (BRK5) method which are popular classical iteration methods of approximating solutions of ODEs. Moreover, an intuitive explanation of those methods is also be presented, comparing among them and also with exact solutions with necessary visualizations. Finally, we analyze the error and accuracy of these methods with the help of suitable mathematical programming software.
A Comparative Study on Three Pioneer Methods for the Square Roots
Authors: Parajuli Krishna Kanta
Published: December 2021

During the classical period, the South Asian region had an illustrious history of mathematics, and it was regarded as fertile ground for the birth of pioneer mathematicians that produced a wide range of mathematical ideas and creations that made significant contributions. Among them, three creative personalities Bhaskaracarya, Gopal Pande and Bharati Krishna Tirthaji and their specific methods to find square roots are focused on this study. The analytical study of their methods is expressing in comparison with similarities, variety and simplicity.

Each of the three mathematical treatise has its own formula for calculating the square roots. The Lilavati seems to have some effect upon the Vedic and Pande’s systems. In spite of having influenced by Lilavati, Gopal Pande disagreed on the problems regarding square roots and cube roots. To prove his point, Gopal Pande used the unitary method against the method described in Bhaskaracarya's famous book Lilavati. In the case of practicality and simplicity, the Vedic method is more practical, interesting and simpler to understand for the mathematics learners in comparison to the other two methods.
Reflections on the regional approach for Open Science in Europe – EOSC-Pillar and the other “5b projects”
Authors: Budroni Paolo , Hönegger Lisa
Published: December 2021

The H2020 project “EOSC Pillar” and its three “sister projects” (5b Projects) are an excellent example of how different European projects can effectively participate in the EOSC building process united in a serious, determined effort formalized by a consensual agreement between the projects. The regional approach, responding to individual, regional needs, has demonstrated the importance of jointly addressing challenges related to the European Open Science Cloud in order to reach the diverse and fragmented European research infrastructure landscape. The resulting FAIR data and conclusions are essential building blocks for continuing similar efforts.
“Tollers Zelle” by Anna Korsun: at intersection of Musical Interpretations
Authors: Hnativ Nataliya
Published: December 2021

Relevance of the study. Exploring the music of Anna Korsun, who at the moment is one of the most famous, titled and most promising young composers in Europe, the author of the article emphasizes that this allows to learn about the latest processes in European academic music. Considering A. Korsun’s Ukrainian origin, this kind of research is especially important for Ukrainian musicology.
The small number of publications, the almost complete absence of scientific works about the composer’s creativity in general or about her specific composition determine the novelty of this article, devoted to a detailed analysis of the “Tollers Zelle” for electric guitar and soprano. This is one of the last vocal works of A. Korsun.
The main objective of the study is to identify the musical interpretive potential of the vocal piece “Tollers Zelle”.
The methodology in the article is based on methods of structural, linguistic and comparative analysis.
Results. The vocal piece “Tollers Zelle” was written by A. Korsun as an assignment with the obligatory condition of using the text based on some specific poem. The composer placed the text of the selected poem by E. Toller at the end of the work immediately after music and chose the life and creativity of the poet in general as the basis of the image system of the piece. According to the mind of author of this article, the content palette of the work consists of images of stupor, pain, solitude, disorder of consciousness, that are realized through dissonant verticals, glissando technique, expressive character of performance, transformation of electric guitar sound into a voluminous, rattling, and cold one with elements of playfulness using a glass and a toy musical box, making a voice close to the sound of an electric guitar. Versions of almost all performers of “Tollers Zelle” differ in some more loose aspects (the pitch and rhythm lines are non-fixed precisely, tempo “ad libitum”) and are close in basic elements — manner of playing and singing, dynamics.
Conclusions. The vocal piece “Tollers Zelle” can be analyzed in aspects of composer’s, musicological and performer’s interpretation. The composer’s interpretation demonstrates an original solution of the assignment condition, that indicates the non-standard thinking of A. Korsun within her aesthetic principles. Musicological interpretation by author of this article finds the main images and musical technical aspects of the piece “Tollers Zelle”, its inclusion in the A. Korsun’s individual style and also the closeness of almost all performer’s versions of the piece.
Distort, Deflect, Deny: Appraising European Colonialism at Empire’s End, 1956–63
Authors: Hastings Paula
Published: December 2021

With an emphasis on the British Empire Commonwealth, this article explores how English-speaking Canadians understood European colonialism – its historical purpose, legacies, and demise – and the anti-colonial nationalism that ranged against it in the years bracketing the United Nations’ adoption of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples in 1960. An extensive survey of opinion in the mainstream English-language press, supplemented by the perspectives of intellectuals, diplomats, and parliamentarians, suggests that empire apologism, contempt for anti-colonial nationalism, and the misrepresentation of colonial liberation struggles were pervasive. Building on recent scholarship that explores how race thinking shaped Canada’s international relations, and drawing from cultural theorist Kuan-Hsing Chen’s concept of deimperialization, the author argues that the preponderance of these phenomena evinced and abetted a failure to come to terms with colonialism’s deleterious imprint on the Third World.
Automating accountability? Privacy policies, data transparency, and the third party problem
Authors: Lie David , Austin Lisa M , Ping Sun Peter Yi , Qiu Wenjun
Published: December 2021

We have a data transparency problem. Currently, one of the main mechanisms we have to understand data flows is through the self-reporting that organizations provide through privacy policies. These suffer from many well-known problems, problems that are becoming more acute with the increasing complexity of the data ecosystem and the role of third parties – the affiliates, partners, processors, ad agencies, analytic services, and data brokers involved in the contemporary data practices of organizations. In this article, we argue that automating privacy policy analysis can improve the usability of privacy policies as a transparency mechanism. Our argument has five parts. First, we claim that we need to shift from thinking about privacy policies as a transparency mechanism that enhances consumer choice and see them as a transparency mechanism that enhances meaningful accountability. Second, we discuss a research tool that we prototyped, called AppTrans (for Application Transparency), which can detect inconsistencies between the declarations in a privacy policy and the actions the mobile application can potentially take if it is used. We used AppTrans to test seven hundred applications and found that 59.5 per cent were collecting data in ways that were not declared in their policies. The vast majority of the discrepancies were due to third party data collection such as advertising and analytics. Third, we outline the follow-on research we did to extend AppTrans to analyse the information sharing of mobile applications with third parties, with mixed results. Fourth, we situate our findings in relation to the third party issues that came to light in the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal and the calls from regulators for enhanced technical safeguards in managing these third party relationships. Fifth, we discuss some of the limitations of privacy policy automation as a strategy for enhanced data transparency and the policy implications of these limitations.
SUCCESSION DYNAMICS OF NATIVE SPRUCE FORESTS OF DIFFERENT AGES IN EUROPEAN RUSSIA
Authors:   Institute of Forest Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Storozhenko V. G.
Published: December 2021

Relevance. The article discusses various options for assigning forest biogeocenoses to a certain dynamic position in the successional field of their development. The proposed method for dynamic assessment of the position of forest creates the possibility of assessing the total movement of tree volumes in the age generations of the age range of the forest biogeocenosis the possibility of analyzing the past changes in the age structure of the biogeocenosis and predicting its future development for a very distant future. Material and methods. The objects of research are native virgin spruce biogeocenoses of different ages in the northern taiga of the Kandalaksha forestry enterprise of the Nyamozersky forestry of the Murmansk region, the Severodvinsky forestry enterprise of the Arkhangelsk region; middle taiga spruce forests of the Vepssky forest reserve, Leningrad region. and the tract “Atleka” of the Andomsky forestry of the Vologda region; southern taiga spruce forests of the Kologrivsky forest reserve Kostroma region and the Central Forest Biosphere Reserve in the Tver region. The author studied the features of the structures of the age series of spruce forests, the most typical and productive types of growing conditions for spruce. Results and conclusions. All represented forest communities have different ratios of the number and volume of trees in the age generations of the age series and, as a consequence, different positions in the successional dynamics of development. Wood-destroying fungi of the biotrophic complex, as an endogenous structure of the forest community, actively participates in the dynamic processes of its development at all stages of its successional movement. The infection of trees by fungi of this complex increases from the last generations to the first to the maximum values in the oldest trees of the first generation. The dynamic position of the indigenous virgin forest community of different ages can be described with a wider range of assessments of the dynamics of its development in retrospect and perspective in terms of the ratio of quantitative and volumetric indicators of age generations of age series than in terms of the current structure of the age series. When assessing the successional stage of the forest community, it is necessary to take into account the quantity (volumes) and structure of the deadwood.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical features and response to deep brain stimulation (DBS) in G2019S LRRK2-Parkinson disease (LRRK2-PD) and idiopathic PD (IPD).

METHODS

The authors conducted a clinic-based cohort study of PD patients recruited from the Mount Sinai Beth Israel Genetics database of PD studies. The cohort included 87 participants with LRRK2-PD (13 who underwent DBS) and 14 DBS participants with IPD enrolled between 2009 and 2017. The baseline clinical features, including motor ratings and levodopa-equivalent daily dose (LEDD), were compared among LRRK2-PD patients with and without DBS, between LRRK2-PD with DBS and IPD with DBS, and between LRRK2-PD with subthalamic nucleus (STN) and internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) DBS. Longitudinal motor scores (Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale–part III) and medication usage were also assessed pre- and postoperatively.

RESULTS

Compared to LRRK2-PD without DBS (n = 74), the LRRK2-PD with DBS cohort (n = 13) had a significantly younger age of onset, longer disease duration, were more likely to have dyskinesia, and were less likely to experience hand tremor at disease onset. LRRK2-PD participants were also more likely to be referred for surgery because of severe dyskinesia (11/13 [85%] vs 6/14 [43%], p = 0.04) and were less likely to be referred for medically refractory tremor (0/13 [0%] vs 6/14 [43%], p = 0.02) than were IPD patients. Among LRRK2-PD patients, both STN-DBS and GPi-DBS targets were effective, although the sample size was small for both groups. There were no revisions or adverse effects reported in the GPi-DBS group, while 2 of the LRRK2-PD participants who underwent STN-DBS required revisions and a third reported depression as a stimulation-related side effect. Medication reduction favored the STN group.

CONCLUSIONS

The LRRK2-PD cohort referred for DBS had a slightly different profile, including earlier age of onset and dyskinesia. Both the STN and GPi DBS targets were effective in symptom suppression. Patients with G2019S LRRK2 PD were well-suited for DBS therapy and had favorable motor outcomes regardless of the DBS target. LRRK2-DBS patients had longer disease durations and tended to have more dyskinesia. Dyskinesia commonly served as the trigger for DBS surgical candidacy. Medication-refractory tremor was not a common indication for surgery in the LRRK2 cohort.

Critical Discourse Analysis: The Negative Representation of the French President in France's English Online News
Authors: Anggraeni Yulia , Citraresmana Elvi , Koeshandoyo Eko Wahyu
Published: December 2021

There is a scarcity of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) studies on the representation of social actors in news media, thus this study addressed this research gap by analysing the way news represented the French President Emmanuel Macron, regarding his controversial support of Samuel Paty, a history teacher in France who was murdered because he showed a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad in his class. This research aims to see the representation of Emmanuel Macron from the perspective of the French media, The Connexion France, which published their news in English language online to reach world-wide audience.  Four articles of the news were purposively selected for this CDA study, which were published from October 18 until November 1, 2020. The French President’s representation was analysed with the nomination and predication strategies.  Results showed that the Connexion France uses four nomination strategies to refer Emmanuel Macron. The professional anthroponyms refer to Emmanual Macron as “the President”, proper names as “Emmanuel Macron” to be the centre of the discourse, synecdoche as “Emmanuel Macron”, and deixis as “he” to avoid repetition the subject of the text. Two predication strategies were also used, the explicit predicate of how the President “has promised” action against Islamists and presupposition from the way the news linked pictures of boycotted French supermarket products with the President. This research provides a take on fresh news with CDA and can beneficial for the students who learn English language by showing how the media uses language for political figures.

Журнал інтернованих вояків армії УНР «Наша Зоря» у таборі Ланцут (Польща): джерельно-інформаційний потенціал
Authors: Срібняк Ігор , Палієнко Марина
Published: December 2021

У статті відтворено особливості таборового повсякдення інтернованих вояків-українців у таборі Ланцут (Польща) протягом першої половини 1921 р. шляхом проведення фронтального аналізу матеріалів часопису «Наша Зоря», який видавався в згадуваному таборі. Із самого початку свого існування журнал зумів об’єднати навколо себе значну частину таборян, які не лише прочитували кожен із його номерів, але й дописували до редакції, пропонуючи свої матеріали до друку.

Разом із тим слід відзначити, що «Наша Зоря» зуміла вийти поза межі Ланцуту – частина її накладу потрапляла до інших таборів інтернованих Армії УНР, а також була доступною (через систему підписки) для всієї української політичної еміграції в Польщі. Відтак попри невеликий загальний наклад тижневик зумів здобути чисельну читацьку аудиторію серед таборян.

У зв’язку з тим, що редакція журналу не мала достатньо коштів для тиражування достатнього накладу «Нашої Зорі» – вона була змушена звертатися до своїх читачів із проханням про внесення пожертв до її пресового фонду. Цей заклик не залишався без відповіді – завдяки грошовим надходженням від таборян, українських емігрантських організацій у Польщі, а також окремих цивільних осіб редакція тижневика зуміла забезпечити досить регулярний вихід усіх його випусків.

Дуже важливим було й те, що остання повсякчасно дбала і про поліпшення поліграфічної якості журналу, зумівши перейти від напівкустарних способів (рукописне виготовлення обкладинки, роздрукування макету номеру на друкарській машинці, шапірограф) до типографського набору та тиражування журналу.

Протягом усієї початкової фази свого існування (грудень-липень 1921 р.) тижневик «Наша Зоря» залишався одним із небагатьох живильних джерел для інтернованих вояків Армії УНР у таборі Ланцут, укріплюючи їхню віру в завтрашній день і додаючи вояцтву сил та енергії для подальшої праці, здобуття знань, власного розвитку та духовно-національного зростання.
Fashion Industry in the Context of Sustainable Development: Eco-Products, Conscious Consumption and Management
Authors: Kulakova Oleksandra , Tymoshenko Olena , Kostiuchenko Оlena
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to the need to select management tools for the formation of environmentally conscious consumption of the fashion industry products, which is developing dynamically and rapidly, which will contribute to the preservation of the resource potential of not only the country but also the planet as a whole. Purpose and methods. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the role and importance of eco-products, conscious consumption, and management in the context of the fashion industry’s sustainable development. The methodological basis of the study is an interdisciplinary approach to the consideration of the problem of managing the conscious consumption of eco-fashion products when its economic, environmental, technical, organizational, social, psychological, and physiological functions are realized in the relationship. Results. Perspective trends in the fashion industry development from the point of view of conscious rational and ecological consumption of clothing have been identified. The role of a socially responsible attitude to clothing production, which affects the ecology of the environment, is substantiated. The theoretical bases of sustainable development and progress of the Ukrainian fashion industry on the example of formation and promotion of Ukrainian designers’ fashion brands are considered. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted study, the main motives for creating eco-products in the fashion industry, as well as the main environmental concepts, are outlined. The importance of choosing optimal tools and management strategies aimed at greening the production of eco-products was determined by the fashion industry enterprises. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the interdisciplinary deepening of the theoretical provisions of production management and conscious consumption of the fashion industry eco-products in the conditions of greening the public space.
Meet women's health needs with postabortion care
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: December 2021

Worldwide, one in eight pregnancy-related deaths result from complications of unsafe abortion such as bleeding, infection, or internal injuries. Many of these deaths could be prevented if women had the means to avoid unplanned pregnancy. At the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development, 180 governments identified postabortion care (PAC) as a high-priority public health issue. As part of the resulting global PAC initiative, the Population Council and other international organizations collaborated with governments and nongovernmental organizations in a worldwide program of operations research on interventions to improve postabortion care. This brief highlights the major findings of this research.
Enhancing the use of emergency contraception in a refugee setting: Findings from a baseline survey in Kakuma refugee camps, Kenya
Authors: Muia Esther G. , Olenja Joyce
Published: December 2021

In August 1992, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) at the request of the United Nations, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, and the Kenyan Government, initiated a primary health care program in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. Since then, the population of the camp has continued to grow, and activities have moved from a crisis to a maintenance phase. In January 1997, IRC assumed the additional responsibility of the camp hospital, bringing the entire health sector under their management. IRC's programs focus on maintaining and improving public health and promoting self-reliance, particularly of the most vulnerable communities. This project focuses on emergency contraception as an aspect of the reproductive health (RH) needs of refugee women and men of reproductive age. The project will especially target the large adolescent community currently resident in the camp. The objective is to contribute to the improved quality of RH services for refugees and the local Turkana population in Kakuma through operations research on the introduction of emergency contraception. This report presents findings from the baseline survey.
Empathy, Negrophobia and Rape in Zukiswa Wanner’s London Cape Town Joburg
Authors: Nonhlanhla Dlamini
Published: December 2021

This paper reflects upon two (un)related spectacular phenomena in South Africa: rape and black racism using Zukiswa Wanner’ London Cape Town Joburg (2014). It examines how the text uses irony to turn postapartheid optimism on its head, while refusing to uncritically borrow and use apartheid language of manufacturing difference. In addition, it makes connections between rape, intimacy and empathy in the contexts of sexual violence by examining the role of tactical empathy during the episodes of rape in the text. It concludes by suggesting that although empathy is an emotion for social good and transformation, it maybe co-opted and used to perpetuate uncanny/predatory masculinities and sexual violence on people perceived to be less privileged, weak and/or ‘deviant’. In addition, this work proffers that foregrounding vaginal discourses on discussions about rape in South Africa render other forms of sexual violence – male and anal rape – invisible/unthinkable.

On October 30, 2020, an earthquake about 70 km away from the city center of Izmir with a 4.3 million population has shaken the city tremendously and has resulted in destruction of many building type of structures due to an unexpected high soil-amplified vibrations very similar to the Mexico City earthquake in 1985. The bridges at the soil-amplified sites has performed in elastic range with no damage at all. In the city of Izmir, the 42 year old twin bridges located on the main transportation route, were tremendously shaken by the earthquake had observed to have no seismic induced damage. Surprisingly twin bridges suffering from the alkali silica reaction (ASR) over the years did not even pound to each other despite the small size of longitudinal gap between them. As it has been known, the past performance of Turkish designed bridges are typically succesfull with almost no damage as observed in the Van 2011 and Sivrice 2020 earthquake mainly due to allowing movements at their joints and to flexible type of framing. The focus of the paper is given to understand the successful performance of bridges and to investigate the non-pounded twin bridges of the Izmir city. In this scope, a bridge inspection has been performed and the twin bridges have been analyzed for the recorded ground motion. The results have indicated that the structures have been subjected to 0.3 g at their vibration modes and the twin bridges have a synchronized motion due to having the identical vibration mode shape with a period of 1.5 seconds
Comparison of eigenanalysis and Ritz vector approaches for response spectrum analysis of soil-pile-bridge systems

Published: December 2021

Frequency-based analysis techniques such as response spectrum analysis (RSA) are widely used for designing bridges in seismically active regions. Two well-known analysis procedures that underlie RSA are the solution of the eigenproblem and the approximation of the solution to the eigenproblem (i.e., approximation of eigenvectors and eigenvalues) through use of force-dependent Ritz vectors. While frequency-based methods have achieved widespread adoption in practice, certain simplifications remain common, such as neglecting soil-structure interaction (SSI) due to a fixed-base assumption. In the present study, frequency-based techniques packaged within a research version of a design-oriented computational tool are employed to analyze, assess, and compare results obtained from RSA with use of the eigenanalysis, and separately, Ritz vector approaches. Importantly, for the bridge configurations analyzed, SSI is taken into account. As outcomes, the potential benefits of the Ritz vector approach (as well as modeling strategies) are demonstrated. The study outcomes are intended to aid practicing engineers when the need to account for SSI is recognized as pertinent to a given bridge seismic design application.
Influence of entrepreneurial ambidextrous leadership on ambidextrous innovation: An integrated model construction of ‘cognitive/affective’ composite perspective in Chinese context
Authors: Ren Dashuai , Xu Hongtao
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND:

China’s 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035 clearly points out that it is necessary to implement innovation driven strategy, promote enterprise technological innovation, and better play the important role of entrepreneurs in enterprise technological innovation. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the impact of entrepreneurial leadership on enterprises’ technological innovation.

OBJECTIVE:

From the perspective of technological innovation stream, we divide ambidextrous innovation into mainstream innovation and new stream innovation. Integrating ambidexterity theory, innovation streams theory and cognitive affective personality system theory (CAPS), we explore the mediating mechanism of entrepreneurial ambidextrous leadership on ambidextrous innovation from cognitive path, affective path and cognitive-affective compound path.

METHODS:

Based on the data collected from 254 top managers in 12 provinces in China, we conducted descriptive statistical analysis, reliability and validity analysis, regression analysis and bootstrap mediating effect test on the sample data.

RESULTS:

Our empirical results revealed that: 1) entrepreneurial ambidextrous leadership positively related with the ambidextrous innovation; 2) organizational paradoxical cognition plays a partly mediating role between ambidextrous leadership and ambidextrous innovation; 3) organizational affective conflict plays a partly mediating role between ambidextrous leadership and ambidextrous innovation; 4) organizational paradoxical cognition negatively related with organizational affective conflict; 5) organizational paradoxical cognition and organizational affective conflict play a chain mediating role between entrepreneurial ambidextrous leadership and ambidextrous innovation.

CONCLUSIONS:

Combined with the cognitive affective personality system theory, our research explores the mediating mechanism of entrepreneurial ambidextrous leadership on ambidextrous innovation from cognitive path and affective path and “cognitive-affective” compound path, which not only have great theoretical contributions, but also have important significance in enterprise management practice.
Strengthening of work-life balance while working remotely in the context of COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Stankevičiūtė Živilė , Kunskaja Svetlana
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Recently, quite a number of employees have been asked to choose remote work or even have been forced into it as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwithstanding the benefits suggested by remote working, e.g. saving on commuting time and expenses working from home generates numerous challenges for employees, including the blurred line between the roles of working and private life. While, previous studies have demonstrated that work-life balance, which refers to the ability of every individual to coordinate work and family obligations successfully, has a significant impact on employee well-being and organisational performance, ways for maintaining the balance under crisis remain underexplored. OBJECTIVE: Trying to narrow the gap, the paper aims at revealing the antecedents of work-life balance while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A quantitative survey has been conducted in Lithuania (pilot study). The data have been collected from the employees working only remotely. RESULTS: The results provided evidence that employees struggled with work-home balance while working remotely. In line with the results, work and family demands served as detrimental factors for work-home balance, while manager support, co-workers support, job autonomy, and job control increased work-home balance. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, the research results expand the knowledge on the antecedents of work-life balance in a crisis situation. Moreover, the findings have significant implications for employers demonstrating that organisations need to carefully plan and implement new strategies and practices for work-home balance improvement for the employees who work from home.
Introducing a trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy regression model

Published: December 2021

The uncertainty is an important attribute about data that can arise from different sources including randomness and fuzziness, therefore in uncertain environments, especially, in modeling, planning, decision-making, and control under uncertainty, most data available contain some degree of fuzziness, randomness, or both, and at the same time, some of this data may be anomalous (outliers). In this regard, the new fuzzy regression approaches by creating a functional relationship between response and explanatory variables can provide efficient tools to explanation, prediction and possibly control of randomness, fuzziness, and outliers in the data obtained from uncertain environments. In the present study, we propose a new two-stage fuzzy linear regression model based on a new interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy least absolute deviation (FLAD) method so that regression coefficients and dependent variables are trapezoidal IT2 fuzzy numbers and independent variables are crisp. In the first stage, to estimate the IT2 fuzzy regression coefficients and provide an initial model (by original dataset), we introduce two new distance measures for comparison of IT2 fuzzy numbers and propose a novel framework for solving fuzzy mathematical programming problems. In the second stage, we introduce a new procedure to determine the mild and extreme fuzzy outlier cutoffs and apply them to remove the outliers, and then provide the final model based on a clean dataset. Furthermore, to evaluate the performance of the proposed methodology, we introduce and employ suitable goodness of fit indices. Finally, to illustrate the theoretical results of the proposed method and explain how it can be used to derive the regression model with IT2 trapezoidal fuzzy data, as well as compare the performance of the proposed model with some well-known models using training data designed by Tanaka et al. [55], we provide two numerical examples.
