Uma Introdução à Nomeação Bidirecional
Authors: Krüger Gustavo M. , Da Conceição Djenane B. , De Rose Júlio C. C.
Published: September 2024

A análise do comportamento verbal feita por Skinner abordou principalmente o comportamento do falante. Em 1996 a Teoria da Nomeação de Horne e Lowe inaugurou um campo de pesquisas sobre comportamento verbal, cujo epicentro tem sido a descrição das contingências necessárias para a integração dos repertórios de ouvinte e de falante em um mesmo indivíduo, o que constitui a Nomeação Bidirecional (do inglês Bidirectional Naming ou BiN). Desenvolvidos os comportamentos pré-requisitos para que as crianças aprendam a se comportar como ouvintes, principalmente a partir da imitação dos seus cuidadores, e como falantes, ecoando a fala dos cuidadores e aprendendo a tatear os objetos/eventos ao seu redor, a integração destes comportamentos se dará conforme as crianças tenham oportunidades de se comportarem como ouvintes de si mesmas, em ambientes ricos em reforçadores fornecidos pela comunidade verbal. A BiN também pode ser induzida experimentalmente, por meio de procedimentos que simulam situações naturais, como o Ensino por Múltiplos Exemplares, que fornece diversas oportunidades para que aprendizes intercalem respostas de ouvinte e de falante sob controle dos mesmos estímulos antecedentes. Estudos que objetivam induzir BiN precisam avaliá-la com testes. Tanto os procedimentos de ensino quanto os de teste são objeto de controvérsias teóricas na literatura sobre quais repertórios estão sendo ensinados diretamente e quais são fruto de aprendizado incidental. Algumas lacunas ainda existentes são o papel dos ecoicos, efeitos da automatização dos procedimentos de ensino e possíveis relações do campo com a Teoria das Molduras Relacionais.Palavras-chave: comportamento verbal, teoria da nomeação, nomeação bidirecional, integração de comportamentos de ouvinte e de falante, aprendizado incidental.
The Big Bang Theory e a Análise do Comportamento: O equívoco de Sheldon acerca dos conceitos Skinnerianos
Authors: Iêgo Sandro
Published: September 2024

O conhecimento científico deve servir para melhorar a vida das pessoas e, portanto, deve estar disponível tanto para cientistas quanto para o público leigo. No entanto, o acesso fácil de informações científicas pelo público leigo também favorece o risco de equívocos, bem como ao subsequente uso indevido de procedimentos técnico-científicos. Este estudo de caso tem como objetivo avaliar, numa perspectiva analítico-comportamental, os procedimentos aplicados por um personagem de uma série televisiva que erroneamente tenta aplicar técnicas de condicionamento operante que ele mal compreendia. No terceiro episódio da terceira temporada de The Big Bang Theory, o protagonista Sheldon Cooper tenta modificar alguns comportamentos de sua vizinha Penny, baseando-se na sua interpretação deturpada dos trabalhos de BF Skinner. Ocorre que o procedimento aplicado por Sheldon de recompensar Penny com chocolates depois dela se comportar como que ele desejava, paradoxalmente promove o efeito comportamental justamente oposto ao que ele originalmente planejou. Ao desconsiderar a complexidade do comportamento humano e subestimar todo o arcabouço científico relacionado à Análise do Comportamento, ele inadvertidamente e ingenuamente acabou acidentalmente reforçando toda uma cadeia comportamental de respostas de Penny, ao invés de um único comportamento isoladamente. Consequentemente, a probabilidade de comportamentos "indesejáveis" de Penny ocorrerem no futuro é aumentada. Este relato de caso exemplifica como a implementação de procedimentos psicológicos científicos, na ausência de uma compreensão abrangente dos conceitos científicos subjacentes, pode levar a consequências desastrosas. Palavras-chave: análise de contingências do comportamento, condicionamento operante, modelagem, BF Skinner, The Big Bang Theory.

Authors:   Member of the Youth Organization of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, Muzalevskaya Ekaterina A.
Published: September 2024

Since the institution of citizenship emerged as a means of identifying members of a particular community, it has evolved into a complex legal concept that defines the rights and obligations of members of a particular state. With the development of technology, constitutional and legal institutions are changing, including citizenship. Currently, it is necessary to rethink the institution of citizenship in order to orient it to rapidly changing conditions. The author proposed his own vision and justification of the impossibility of acquiring the citizenship of the Russian Federation by artificial intelligence. The necessity of further development of legal framework regulating the status of AI in the Russian Federation is proved.

Toplumsal ve Cinsiyet Eleştirisi Bağlamında Jenny Saville Resimlerinde Kadın İmgesi
Authors: Cebeci Ece , Gökova Hamdi
Published: September 2024

Tarih boyunca sanatı şekillendiren eril bakış açısıdır. Bu durum karşıt diğer cinsel kimlikler üzerinde cinsiyet eşitsizliğini doğurmuştur. 1960’ların toplumsal hareketliliğiyle beraber kadın hakları, feminizm ve cinsel tercihler konusunda önemli kazanımlar elde edilmiştir. Öncelikle feminist sanatçılar Miriam Schapiro, Judy Chicago ve Gerilla Kızlar’ın örnek çalışmalarına bakılarak ilerleyen bu çalışmada, günümüz sanatçılarından Jenny Saville’in toplumsal ve cinsiyet eşitsizliği bağlamında kadın kavramına yaklaşımı ele alınmıştır. Hakim olan erkek beğenisini aksine, görsel olarak çirkin bulunan, iğrenilen kompozisyonlara resimlerinde yer veren Saville’in kadınların üstüne yerleştirilen erkek taktirini kazanma düşüncesine karşı tepki olarak yaptığı, temelinde kadın figürü olan, bir dizi çalışması araştırmanın konusu olmuştur.

Bu çalışma J. Saville resimlerinde temel bir role sahip olan kadın imgesini cinsiyet eşitsizliği ve eleştirisi bağlamında ele alarak çıkarımlar yapmayı amaçlamaktadır.
BONOS DE CARBONO COMO ALTERNATIVAS PARA LUCHAR CONTRA LA DEFORESTACIÓN EN COLOMBIA
Authors: Mendieta David , Grueso José Rosario
Published: September 2024

La deforestación es un proceso ocasionado por acciones humanas que provoca la destrucción y desgaste de la capacidad de regeneración, lo que lleva a la pérdida de especies, así como consecuencias nefastas para los ecosistemas. En ese sentido, la presente investigación analiza la importancia de los bonos de carbono como alternativa para mitigar la deforestación en Colombia, debido a que estos representan un medio para contrarrestar el cambio climático en armonía con el propuesto por el Protocolo de Kyoto, teniendo en cuenta las altas emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Con el uso de una metodología analítico descriptiva se pudo demostrar que en Colombia se han adoptado proyecciones y estrategias que apuntan a la recuperación, mantenimiento y gestión de los bosques, con participación social de las comunidades para contrarrestar la deforestación en los territorios, reconociendo el compromiso ambiental por parte de los diferentes actores y que apuntan a reducir la huella de CO2 en los ecosistemas colombianos, lo anterior gracias a la comercialización de bonos de carbono.
Effect of Foliar Boron and Proline Applications on Physiological and Biochemical Properties in Soybean (Glycine max L.)
Authors: Oral Erol
Published: September 2024

Background: In this study, boron which is an important element in many fields such as defense industry, energy, food and cleaning in the world, was studied. It is also an important plant nutritional element. However, like other important elements, it has some effects on plants and the environment. Türkiye has 76% of the world¢s boron reserves. In this study, proline applications were tried to determine the toxic effect of boron in soybeans, which is a strategic product and to reduce the damage. Methods:This study was carried out to determine the effects of boron (0, 2.5, 5 and 10 ppm) and proline (0, 10 and 20 ppm) applications on plant growth parameters and biochemical properties in soybean (Glycine max L.). The study was carried out in the fully controlled climate room of our faculty's field crops.This trial was carried out according to the randomized plots experimental design in a factorial arrangement with 4 replications. Result: In the research, after the applications, soybean plant height (22.7-33.3 cm), root length (26.2-38.7 cm), stem fresh weight (1.77-3.20 g), stem dry weight (0.59-0.71 g), root fresh weight (1.43-2.72 g), root dry weight (0.15-0.24 g), leaf area index (10.4-11.1 cm2), ion leakage in leaf tissues (20.4- 24.9%), nitrogen balance index (47.3-92.2 dx), anthocyanin (0.04-0.08 dx). flavonoid (34.9-55.6 dx) and chlorophyll (22.5-42.4 mg cm-2) were examined. In the results of working; Boron applications first increased and then decreased the values of plant height, root length, stem fresh and dry weight and root fresh and dry weight in soybean plants. There was a direct decrease in leaf area index, NBI and total chlorophyll values. Other parameters followed a fluctuating course. It has been determined that boron applications increase flavonoid and anthocyanin values. In this study, it was determined that proline applications had a positive and regulatory effect on root length, stem fresh weight, root fresh weight, root dry weight, nitrogen balance index and flavonoid values against boron toxicity.
Breaking Barriers: Unleashing the Power of Feminist Action Research to Transform Organisational Inequalities—A Case Study of XEAS País Valencià
Authors: Maicas-Pérez Marta , Ortega-Colomer Francisco Javier
Published: September 2024

There are multiple approaches to examining 'gender in organisations,' each exhibiting diversity and originating from various fields and ideological frameworks. Mainstream literature on 'gender in organisations' focuses on gender-based differences within the organisation—emphasizing concepts like glass ceilings, sticky floors, and variations in management practices between men and women—to shed light on discriminatory practices against women. However, this perspective, which views organisations as gender-neutral spaces, overlooks concealed mechanisms that perpetuate patriarchal social structures. These mechanisms not only act as obstacles to equal job opportunities but also create environments marked by inequality, discrimination, and violence, mirroring societal-level issues. To address these shortcomings, the article adopts an approach from Feminist Action Research methods, highlighting its ability to challenge power dynamics and facilitate inclusive decision making processes, revealing its influence on transformation at organisational, personal, and social levels. To illustrate the benefits from Feminist Action Research, this article explains the research process conducted at Alternative and Solidarity Economy Network of the Valencian Country (XEAS País Valencià, using its Valencian acronym) over 14 months. During this period a feminist organisational change process was implemented to reflect upon and transition towards a more liveable organisation. Various qualitative techniques, such as semi-structured interviews, participatory workshops, participant observation, and document review, were combined to conduct this study. The lessons learned from this study can inspire future similar studies in the Management field, with an aspiration to address genderdiscrimination issues more in-depth.

Published: September 2024

Transgender and gender-diverse young adults (TGDYA) report higher prevalence of substance use than cisgender peers, but little is known about how patterns of substance use may differ among TGDYA subgroups. Understanding the heterogeneity in substance use among TGDYA can inform tailored substance use disorder (SUD) prevention. This study described the prevalence of seven types of substance use among TGDYA across various social identities and lived experiences. Data were analyzed from 12,525 TGDYA aged 18–25 years from the 2015 United States Transgender Survey. Participants completed a one-time online survey that assessed multiple substance use outcomes (alcohol use, heavy episodic drinking, marijuana use, cigarette, e-cigarette or vape product use, other illicit drug use, and nonmedical prescription use), social identity correlates (binary vs. nonbinary gender identity, sex assigned at birth, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation), and covariates/confounders. All social identity correlates were significantly associated with increased use of at least one substance, though the directionality of subgroup risk varied. For example, nonbinary respondents were more likely than binary respondents to report some types of substance use (e.g., alcohol), but less likely to report other types (e.g., e-cigarette). All covariates were also significantly associated with increased use of at least one substance, with visual gender-nonconformity and sex work evincing the most consistent associations across substances. Findings demonstrate extensive intracommunity diversity in substance use prevalence among TGDYA. Tailored SUD prevention must account for such diversity, and future research must further quantify the impact of intersecting identities, gender norms, and socioeconomic context on substance use among TGDYA.

Made in America for the world: Avant-garde responses to jazz
Authors: Rasula Jed
Published: September 2024

The article is a selective survey of responses to American jazz by various figures associated with the avant-garde during the 1920s, the decade in which jazz had its initial global impact. As the article indicates, “jazz” was a somewhat free floating signifier, particularly for those who had not experienced the music in person. Yet it was widely understood as an American harbinger of modernity, and embraced as such.
The Stoics and Economic Rationality
Authors: Čelkytė Aistė
Published: September 2024

When it comes to the discussions of ancient economic thought, the Stoics rarely come to the forefront. By and large, the lack of focus on this Hellenistic philosophical school is understandable: there is no evidence of the Stoics writing treatises entitled ‘oikonomikos’ or similar or, in fact, showing any substantial interest in the matters pertaining to wealth management or money acquisition. There is an extant fragment, however, depicting a debate between Diogenes of Babylon and Antipater of Tarsus in which the latter advocates for the moral permissibility of the behaviour that comes very close to exhibiting economic rationality. In this paper, I analyse this passage and, noting its complex transmission history, I argue that it reveals an engagement with various ideas pertaining to the oikonomia genre. Although some of them resemble the contemporary notion of economic rationality, ultimately, the Stoic argument is embedded in ethical debates with the Peripatetics and it concerns moral value rather than the homo economicus style of reasoning about maximizing gains

Published: September 2024

This study intends to investigate how Muslims understand and practice religious tolerance teachings with other religious communities in Madura, Indonesia. The knowledge and forms of tolerance practices in the dynamics of the lives of people of different religions in Pamekasan, Madura, are described in this study using a qualitative-descriptive research approach. This research uses observation, interviews, and documentation to examine empirical data in the field. According to field observations and interviews, the findings of this study led to three significant conclusions. First, Pamekasan people understand that religious tolerance is essential for establishing a peaceful life with other religious communities. In other words, society has practiced the teachings of tolerance according to what is understood in the verses of the Qur’an about the importance of coexistence with different religious communities. Second, the concrete form of the practice of the values ​​of tolerance is embodied in socio-religious life, such as social service activities, ritual traditions, and helping each other celebrate religious days. Third, the factors forming the values ​​of tolerance contained in the verses of the Qur’an are the harmony of the four houses of worship in one complex, local wisdom, and the role of interfaith organizations.

Authors: Fachriani Fachriani , Arifin Rahmad , Puspitasari Dewi , Wibowo Diana , Firdaus I Wayan Arya Krishnawan
Published: September 2024

Background: The face's vertical dimension or vertical height is the distance between two anatomical points, namely the points on the maxilla and mandible. In measuring the vertical dimension, vertical dimensions of rest (DVR) and vertical dimensions of occlusion (DVO) must be measured. The difference between the vertical dimension of rest (DVR) and the vertical dimension of occlusion (DVO) is called the freeway space (FWS) or interocclusal distance. Freeway space is a key requirement for optimal comfort and function of a partial or complete denture. Each individual's freeway space distance is the movement of muscle function, which can be measured by direct methods such as the Willis method using calipers and the digital photo analysis method using computer software. Two measurement methods can be used to measure freeway space distance direct and indirect. Purpose: To analyze the difference between freeway space distance measured by the Willis method and by digital photo analysis of Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw graphic design software in the Banjar tribe (a review of students at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Lambung Mangkurat Banjarmasin). Methods: This study is a quantitative study with an analytic observational method and a cross-sectional approach. This study was conducted by collecting data simultaneously at one time by comparing three different methods on the same sample without being given any treatment. Results: One Way ANOVA test is 0.296 (P>0.05) which means there is no significant difference. Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the results of measuring freeway space distance using the Willis method with a digital caliper and digital photo analysis with Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw software.

Dissensus sur le renouvellement du glyphosate
Authors: Agathe Chirossel
Published: September 2024

©Pixabay
L’autorisation du glyphosate par la Commission européenne pour une durée de dix années le 28 novembre 2023 intervient à l’issue d’un processus complexe de négociations. La Commission a dû dépasser l’abstention de sept États membres, qui n’a pas permis d’obtenir la double majorité. Faisant peser la responsabilité d’un tel renouvellement sur la seule Commission, l’affaire du glyphosate souligne les difficultés institutionnelles que peut connaître le processus décisionnel de l’Union européenne. Plus spécifiquement, la décision de renouvellement illustre une absence de choix politique de la part des États membres. Émerge alors un paradoxe de plus en plus profond entre solutions jurisprudentielles et renouvellement législatif national restreignant l’utilisation du glyphosate, et absence de positionnement lors du processus législatif européen induisant in fine une solution favorable à la commercialisation de ce produit.
The European Commission's authorisation of glyphosate for ten years on 28 November 2023 follows a complex process of negotiations. The Commission had to overcome the abstention of seven Member States, which prevented it from obtaining a double majority. By placing the responsibility for such a renewal solely on the Commission, the glyphosate affair highlights the institutional difficulties that can arise in the European Union's decision-making process. More specifically, the renewal decision illustrates a lack of political choice on the part of the Member States. An increasingly profound paradox is emerging, between the solutions provided by case law and the renewal of national legislation restricting the use of glyphosate, and the absence of a position during the European legislative process that would ultimately lead to a solution favourable to the marketing of this product.

Tout d'abord, le cadre constitutionnel est présenté, c'est-à-dire la protection constitutionnelle des droits sociaux, leurs spécificités et la différence de leur normativité par rapport aux droits individuels. La question cruciale est le fait qu'en vertu de la Constitution, ces droits ne donnent pas lieu à des réclamations devant les tribunaux. Ensuite, les façons dont les droits sociaux sont incorporés dans la jurisprudence grecque, principalement en tant que traitement discriminatoire de certains groupes de population, et les façons dont des tentatives ont été faites, en particulier pendant les années de la crise financière, pour protéger le cœur de certains droits sociaux. Et si, parfois, le juge national a effectivement pris des décisions particulièrement innovantes, dans la plupart des cas il s'est autolimité, se concentrant sur la nature économique des bénéficiaires et la situation du pays. Par ailleurs, afin d'examiner la manière dont les droits sociaux sont introduits devant le juge, la jurisprudence est également examinée, selon laquelle le juge est appelé à juger les affaires sur la base des droits sociaux internationaux, et plus particulièrement de la Charte sociale européenne, telle qu'elle a été introduite dans l'ordre juridique grec mais suivant une jurisprudence assez peu cohérente.

The burden of tasks and responsibilities without adequate time management skills can lead to academic stress in students. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of time management training on academic stress. The research design is experimental with a pretest and posttest control group design. The subjects were students with high academic stress, measured by the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA). The study involved 61 subjects, 33 in the control group and 28 in the experimental group, randomly assigned. The experimental group received 8 training sessions, while the control group received 1 session. Time management training included goal setting, prioritization, daily scheduling, stopping procrastination, effective time use, and assertiveness. The Wilcoxon paired group data analysis showed a p-value < 0.001, indicating that the intervention effectively reduced students' academic stress. The implication is that time management training can be developed as an effort to reduce academic stress in students.

High self-criticism among students occurs due to increasing responsibilities, competitive demands in various aspects of life, and academic pressure. This study aims to determine the effect of self-compassion training on reducing self-criticism in students. The research used a group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects were ten students from the Islamic University of Riau. We used a self-criticism scale, The Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS) developed by Gilbert (2004). To evaluate changes in self-criticism among students, we applied the Wilcoxon test. Statistical results were obtained using the Wilcoxon Normality Test, which yielded a value of 0.005<0.05. It can be concluded that there are significant differences between the pre-test and post-test results. Self-compassion training has an impact on reducing self-criticism in students. The influence of the training provided can be understood and implemented by participants, allowing them to gain better self-understanding.

Resistance to Intergroup Helping: The Effects of Motive and Audience from the Perspective of Observer Group
Authors: Mashuri Ali , Nuryanti Sofia
Published: September 2024

Help provision, often perceived as an act of kindness, is often resisted or rejected by the recipients. Preliminary research examined the resistance showed by help recipients, with none conducted on the resistance perceived by observer groups. Therefore, this research aimed to examine the effect of motives (prosocial versus strategic) and audience (private versus public) on resistance to intergroup helping through the perspective of observer. Data were collected from 1,752 participants recruited using the convenient sampling method. The first hypotheses showed that the motives with values of B = .30, t = 7.66, p < .001, and the audience comprising B = .46, t = 11.66, p < .001, significantly resulted in higher levels of observer positive evaluations of intergroup helping. The second hypothesis showed that observer positive evaluations of intergroup helping significantly decreased observer resistance to intergroup helping, B = -.28, t = -10.40, p < .001. The third hypothesis showed that the positive evaluation of intergroup help significantly mediated the effect of prosocial motives (indirect effect: B = -.09, the lower limit of the confidence interval [LLCI] = -.11, upper limit of the confidence interval [ULCI] = -.06) and private audiences (indirect effect: B = -.13, LLCI = -.16, ULCI = -.10) in reducing observer resistance to intergroup help. These empirical results collectively emphasized the significance of a group reputation or image in extending help to others, influencing the perspective of observer regarding accepting or rejecting intergroup aid.
An Examination of Publication Trends in Borderline Personality: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Safaria Triantoro
Published: September 2024

In recent years, borderline personality disorder (BPD) is recognized as a severe mental health issue, generating significant research interest. Despite this recognition, a comprehensive analysis of trends and publications within the field has not been conducted. To address the gap, this research performed a bibliometric analysis to identify trends and contributed to publications on BPD. The Scopus database served as the reference, analyzing 672 files spanning from 2018 to 2021 through VOSviewer. As a result, the Journal of Personality Disorder became the leading publisher of BPD related articles, followed by the Journal of Personality Disorder: Theory, Research, and Treatment in second place, with the Journal of Affective Disorder securing third position. The United States became the country with the highest number of publications. However, it was crucial to acknowledge the limitations of the research, particularly the restriction of the search to a single database, potentially leading to the exclusion of relevant articles described elsewhere. After analyzing the keywords through the co-occurrence map, seven distinct cluster groups in the scientific landscape associated with BPD were identified.

Published: September 2024

This paper aims to present a robust computational technique utilizing finite difference schemes for accurately solving time fractional reaction-diffusion models, which are prevalent in chemical and biological phenomena. The time-fractional derivative is treated in the Caputo sense, addressing both linear and nonlinear scenarios. The proposed schemes were rigorously evaluated for stability and convergence.
Additionally, the effectiveness of the developed schemes was validated through various linear and nonlinear models, including the Allen-Cahn equation, the KPP-Fisher equation, and the Complex Ginzburg-Landau oscillatory problem. These models were tested in one, two, and three-dimensional spaces to investigate the diverse patterns and dynamics that emerge. Comprehensive numerical results were provided, showcasing different cases of the fractional order parameter, highlighting the schemes' versatility and reliability in capturing complex behaviors in fractional reaction-diffusion dynamics.

Lignin is nature's second most abundant vascular plant biopolymer, playing significant roles in mechanical support, water transport, and stress responses. This study identified 90 lignin biosynthesis genes in the rice based on phylogeny and motif constitution, and they belong to PAL, C4H, 4CL, HCT, C3H, CCoAOMT, CCR, F5H, COMT, and CAD families. Duplication events contributed largely to the expansion of these gene families, such as PAL, CCoAOMT, CCR, and CAD families mainly attributed to tandem and segmental duplication, respectively. Microarray data of 33 tissue samples covering the entire life cycle of rice suggested, fairly high PAL, HCT, C3H, CCoAOMT, CCR, COMT, and CAD gene expression, and rather variable C4H, 4CL, and F5H expression. Some members of lignin-related genes (OsCCRL11, OsHCT1/2/5, OsCCoAOMT1/3/5, OsCOMT, OsC3H, OsCAD2, and OsPAL1/6) were expressed in all tissues examined. The expression patterns of lignin-related genes can be divided into two major groups with eight subgroups, each showing a distinct co-expression in tissues representing typically primary and secondary cell wall constitutions. Some lignin-related genes were strongly co-expressed in tissues typical of secondary cell walls. The combined HPLC analysis showed increased lignin monomers (H, G, and S) in five genotypes from young to old growth stages. Based on 90 genes' microarray data, 27 genes were selected for qRT-PCR gene expression analysis. Four genes (OsPAL9, OsCAD8C, OsCCR8, and OsCOMTL4) were significantly negatively correlated with lignin monomers. Furthermore, eleven genes were co-expressed in certain genotypes during secondary growth stages. Among them, six genes (OsC3H, OsCAD2, OsCCR2, OsCOMT, OsPAL2, and OsPAL8) were overlapped with microarray gene expressions, highlighting their importance in lignin biosynthesis.
