The Impact of Hate Comments on Social Media Users' Self-Confidence: An Analysis Grounded in Social Comparison Theory and Cyberbullying Research
Authors: Ismail Lukman , Mukramin Sam’un , Fatmawati Fatmawati , Nursida Andi
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the relationship between hate comments on social media and users' self-confidence, providing a comprehensive analysis grounded in Social Comparison Theory and cyberbullying research. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study surveys a diverse sample of social media users and conducts in-depth interviews to explore the extent and impact of exposure to hate comments. The findings reveal a significant negative correlation between the frequency of hate comments and self-confidence levels, with younger users and women being particularly vulnerable. The study also identifies the moderating role of social support, where strong support networks help mitigate the negative effects of hate comments. Potential limitations include sample size constraints, self-report biases, and challenges in generalizability. The implications of the findings are far-reaching, suggesting the need for individual strategies to manage social media use, therapeutic interventions by mental health professionals, and enhanced anti-harassment measures by social media platforms. By addressing these issues, we can foster a healthier digital environment that supports users' mental health and well-being.

Ensemble-Based Alzheimer's Disease Classification Using Features Extracted from Hog Descriptor and Pre-trained Models
Authors: Muzoglu Nedim , Akbacak Enver
Published: December 2024

Alzheimer's Disease is the most common type of dementia and is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease. The disease worsens over time, and the patient becomes bedridden, unable to move or understand what is happening around him. The main concern of medicine is to slow down the progression of the disease for which no treatment has yet been developed. Artificial intelligence studies have achieved significant success in detecting many diseases. In this study, an artificial intelligence-based approach that uses MR images of the early stage of Alzheimer's Disease to detect the disease at an early stage is presented. Initially, a new dataset was created through the application of the fuzzy technique, thereby expanding the feature space. Then, an ensemble learning-based hybrid deep learning model was developed to reduce the misclassification rate for all classes. The features derived from the inception module, residual modules, and histogram of oriented gradients descriptor are subjected to classification through bagging and boosting algorithms. The proposed model has surpassed many state-of-the-art studies by achieving a high success rate of 99.60% in detecting Alzheimer's disease in its early stages.
Assessment of the replenishing potentials of moose populations (Alces alces, Artiodactyla, Mammalia)
Authors: Kondratenkov Igor A. , Oparin Mikhail L. , Oparina Olga S.
Published: December 2024

The present paper is devoted to the improvement of a method for assessing the replenishing potentials of wildlife populations using dynamic series of their abundance. The essence of the method consists in the fact that if a dynamic abundance series contains a well-defined, sufficiently extended section of the population transition from a smaller to a larger population size, it can be approximated by a logistic curve and the values of the lower and upper stationary states of the population can be determined. For this purpose, it is necessary to choose the longest time period suitable for the corresponding approximation. After that, it is necessary to determine the time period within the dynamic abundance series, in which the population grew most rapidly, and to estimate the value of the actual maximum annual growth of the population with the help of straight-line approximation. The replenishing potential of the population can then be calculated as the ratio of four times the actual maximum annual population growth rate to the difference be-tween the upper and lower stationary states of the population. In the case when animal migrations in the studied population are insignificant or their magnitudes are small compared to internal reproduction, we can speak about the identity of the replenishable potential to the biotic one. We have found that the hereditary reproductive potential of moose in all the populations studied by us is approximately the same regardless of their habitats and is close to rm = 0.5. Analysis of the actually observed maximum growth rate of the considered moose populations has shown that the intensity of their extraction at present can be increased at least two or three times without any negative consequences.
Ontogenetic structure of woody plant coenopopulations in ripe pine stands of Moscow city
Authors: Lezhnev Daniil V. , Lebedev Aleksandr V.
Published: December 2024

The results of our study of the ontogenetic structure of cenopopulations of woody plants on 16 permanent sample plots in mature pine forests located in Moscow are presented. For the first time, a cenopopulation approach was used to assess the regenerative capacity of tree species in mature pine dendrocenoses in the conditions of the Moscow region. The study examined areas of mature pine stands which are representative of the Moscow region. The ontogenetic spectra of cenopopulations are considered, namely: Pinus sylvestris L., Acer platonoides L., Tilia cordata Mill., Ulmus laevis Pall., Corulys avellana L. Analysis of the number of trees and shrubs in the lower tiers of stands (undergrowth and understory) and their occurrence in sample plots was carried out. The cenopopulation of P. sylvestris has a right-sided age spectrum with predominance of individuals of the generative age state and is regressive under these conditions, since pregenerative individuals are completely absent. The cenopopulations of A. platonoides, U. laevis and C. avellana are characterized as effectively self-sustaining, while T. cordata is moderately selfsustaining. Based on the results of our study, the ontogenetic spectra of most populations of the studied species were established to be incomplete due to the absence of certain ontogenetic states in plants. A significant part of the cenopopulations of the species have a bimodal ontogenetic spectrum. The ontogenetic state and the formation of generation cycles of broad-leaved species are explained by the presence of a sufficient number of open areas – “gaps”. It is noted that young trees have a fairly significant mortality rate before they reach a generative ontogenetic state under the influence of external and intracoenotic factors. Analysis of the species composition of the undergrowth and understory showed that the set of tree and shrub vegetation included 12 species.

De neuropsychologie van autisme en het gender-effect
Authors: Mulder Anne Jet
Published: December 2024

Following PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was conducted in the PsycInfo database on April 30, 2024, using terms related to cognitive and affective neuropsychological domains in girls/women with autism and boys/men with autism. Inclusion criteria included English-language publications between 2014 and 2024. Many studies had to be excluded since they ignored gender as a factor. Sixteen studies were analysed that primarily described behaviour questionnaires. Findings indicate that girls/women with autism face more challenges in everyday life with executive functioning, adaptive behaviour and emotion regulation. Influencing variables are the severity of autism and the intelligence, which were not always corrected for. Neurobiological explanations of the gender effect are discussed but also an additional hypothesis posing that the “social-emotional bar” is higher for girls/women.

Dansen met Machines: Filosoof Yuk Hui (Erasmus Rotterdam) over de technologische (on)menselijkheid
Authors: Brons Richard
Published: December 2024

De oeroude dans tussen mens en techniek is een dans op leven en (brein)dood, leidt tot ontzieling als wij haar niet tijdig hernemen.

In zijn boek Recursivity and Contingency (2019) vergelijkt de uit Hong Kong af komstige filosoof Yuk Hui het menselijke denken met kunstmatige intelligentie en komt in zijn historische onderzoek tot een interessante conclusie. Wat redelijk, logischerwijze denken betreft verschillen mens en machine volgens hem al sinds heel lang niet meer. We moeten volgens Yuk Hui gezien de huidige cybernetische ontwikkelingen terdege rekening houden met inktzwarte toekomstbeelden zoals eind vorige eeuw al geschetst door de meest kritische filosoof van die tijd, J.F. Lyotard. Maar volgens hem kan het tij tijdig gekeerd, wanneer we oog hebben voor de potentiële pluriformiteit van techniek.

Yuk Hui’s Recursivity and Contingency is vakwerk in de beste filosofische traditie, en ook nog eens zeer actueel van toepassing op een cluster van grote problemen en uitdagingen van onze tijd. We hebben te maken met schijnbaar onstuitbare en vaak bijna autonome ontwikkelingen van de cybernetica, onder meer in de vormen van A.I. en robotica. Deze ontwikkelingen zijn sturend en leidend in de meeste overheden, bedrijven, nationals en transnationale processen van productie, handel, transport, verkeer, geldstromen en ga zo maar door. Leidraad voor Yuk Hui’s historische reconstructie hiervan is wat hij noemt een organologisch paradigma, waarvan de aanzetten en principes voor het eerst zijn te vinden bij Kant en de Duitse idealistische filosofen, in het begin van de 19e eeuw.

Dit paradigma heeft volgens Yuk Hui in de 19e eeuw en daarna de overhand gekregen op een mechanistisch wereldbeeld. In plaats daarvan kwam een organologische manier van denken, waarmee onwrikbare patronen van oorzaak en gevolg kunnen worden doorbroken, evenals vaststaande hiërarchieën en ordeningen. Met Darwin kwam het inzicht dat ‘organische’ levensvormen altijd in staat zijn geweest zich aan te passen, en dat niet louter ‘mechanisch’ doen, volgens een voorbestemd patroon. Gaandeweg kwam volgens Yuk Hui vanuit de doorbraak uit mechanistisch denken ook de weg vrij voor een organistische technologie. Daarmee is bedoeld dat machines zichzelf net als mensen ook systematisch kunnen bijsturen, re-organiseren en aanpassen.

للعلامة في الفيلم السينمائي أو الدراما التلفزيونية،  اشكال و تمثلات متعددة فقد ترد حرفاً او كلمة مكتوبة او منطوقة او مرسومة وقد ترد لوناً او عطراً او اشارة او حاسة معينة وقد ترد إيحاءات او شفرةً وكل ما يقود الى ما يعطي الدلالة والمعنى والقصد والفهم وكل هذه تخضع للسياق الزمني أو المكاني فعلامة كل زمن أو مكان قد تحمل دلالة لن نجدها في زمن أو مكان آخر  ،اذ  (تختلف الاشارات السمعية في شكلها عن الاشارات البصرية، فالأولى تستخدم الزمان وليس الفضاء عاملاً بنيوياً رئيسياً، اما الثانية فتستخدم الفضاء اكثر مما تستخدم الزمان، والاشارات السمعية "الزمانية" تميل الى ان تكون رمزية بطبيعتها بينما تميل الاشارات البصرية "المكانية" الى ان تكون ايقونية او تماثلية في طبيعتها، وتنتج الاشارات السمعية بالجهد والاتقان المناسبين وبلغة الفن الصيغ الرئيسية للغة المنطوقة والموسيقى. اما الاشارات البصرية والمكانية فنتج الاشكال الفنية للرسم والنحت وفن العمارة.. الخ. وهناك طبعاً خلف هذه التعميمات العريضة، صيغ فنية تجمع الاثنين مثل: الدراما والاوبرا (المسرحية الموسيقية والفيلم التلفزيوني.. الخ) وبحثنا ينصب حول الاشتغال السيميائي لدور العلامة أو الاشارة أو الايحاء أو الشفرة أو الايقونة وغيرها من التمثلات التي يستخدمها المخرج في الفيلم او في الدراما  لإنتاج المعنى و بخاصة في افلام ودراما الحرب على العراق.
Cost-Utility Analysis of Add-on Cannabidiol vs Usual Care Alone for the Treatment of Seizures in Patients With Treatment-Resistant Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome or Dravet Syndrome in the Netherlands
Authors: Siddiqui Jamshaed , Bowditch Sally
Published: December 2024

Background: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and Dravet syndrome (DS) are severe, treatment-refractory, epileptic encephalopathies that often develop in infancy or early childhood. Since December 1, 2022, plant-derived highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) medicine (Epidyolex®; 100 mg/mL oral solution) has been reimbursed in the Netherlands for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with LGS or DS.
Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of CBD plus usual care vs usual care alone in patients with LGS or DS in the Netherlands.
Methods: A cohort-based Markov model from a Dutch societal perspective, based on seizure frequency and seizure-free days, was developed for patients receiving CBD plus usual care (antiseizure medications, including clobazam) or usual care alone. Population characteristics, clinical inputs, and utility values were sourced from CBD clinical trials and quality-of-life studies. Drug acquisition, disease management, adverse events, and societal costs from published literature were included. A 2019/2020 price year in euros was used. The model used a mean dosage of 12 mg/kg/day, a lifetime (90-year) horizon, and a 3-month cycle length. Discount rates of 4.0% and 1.5% per annum were applied to costs and outcomes, respectively. Uncertainty was explored through deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses.
Results: In patients with LGS, CBD plus usual care led to additional costs of €28 338 and increased quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) of 1.318 compared with usual care alone. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of €21 493/QALY in LGS is below the willingness-to-pay threshold of €80 000/QALY in the Netherlands. In patients with DS, CBD plus usual care dominated usual care alone, with cost savings of €23 642 and increased QALYs of 0.868. The probability that CBD plus usual care is cost-effective in the Netherlands compared with usual care alone is 96% and 99% in patients with LGS and DS, respectively.
Discussion: Elicitation methods were used to address data gaps in model inputs (eg, healthcare resource utilization and utilities); Dutch clinical experts, sensitivity, and scenario analyses validated this approach.
Conclusions: Based on a willingness-to-pay threshold of €80 000, the base case cost-utility analysis demonstrated the cost-effectiveness of CBD plus usual care in patients with treatment-refractory LGS or DS aged 2 years or older in the Netherlands.
The relationship between compensation for damages and the enforcement of contractual obligations in countries with different legal families
Authors: Hanahmedova Lyudmila , Semenov Viktor
Published: December 2024

The article examines the problem of the relationship between compensation for damages and the enforcement of contractual obligations in countries with different legal families.
The following methods were used in the study: dialectical, logical, systemic-structural, formal-legal, systemic, comparative-legal. The author relied on the results of domestic empirical studies by D. N. Latypa, T. A. Batrova, A. Gromov, K. A. Usacheva, M. I. Lukhmanov, as well as on foreign studies by C. Lobach, W. Ballantyne, I. Bantekas.
The author analyzes the problem of the relationship between compensation for damages and the enforcement of contractual obligations in countries with Romano-Germanic, common and Muslim law, and also pays attention to countries with a mixed legal system.
Discussion and conclusion: the study showed that countries from different legal families have different approaches to the issue of the relationship between enforcement (fulfilment of the obligation in kind) and compensation for damages. The existing differences in starting points have more of an impact on the theoretical side of the issue, their practical manifestation may not be so significant. This is explained by the fact that, ultimately, law enforcement officers proceed from what will be appropriate in a particular case: performance in kind or compensation for damages
The turbulent and laminar types of domestic criminal procedure: hypotheses and concepts
Authors: Lamteva Anna
Published: December 2024

All domestic types of criminal procedure are divided into turbulent (adversarial and mixed) and laminar (accusatory and investigative) in scientific article. The hypothesis that there is a certain relationship between the prevailing type of criminal procedure and its inherent types of criminal prosecution was made. The legal family of an analyzed country lies in the basis for the construction the technology of criminal procedure. But, despite the single basis, the type of criminal process created on its basis always has national characteristics and only its inherent concepts. Each type has its own unique production order. The author defends the concept of evolution types from one to another, taking into account the scientific paradigm and the worldview of society of a particular historical period. The procedural guideline for development is the ideal model of criminal procedure which is adjusted, supplemented and improved for each milestone of the procedural dialectic acting as a kind of de lege ferenda. The hypothesis about the expediency of designing a convergent type of criminal process which will allow for optimal correlation of claim and search technologies, will improve the methodological and theoretical foundation of criminal procedural activity was expressed in scientific article. The increasing the quantitative participation of citizens in the dispensation of justice should play the leading role in this typological transition.

Published: December 2024

The article considers one of the elements of evaluating evidence in criminal proceedings — reliability. The reliability is revealed by the example of an expert opinion as an independent evidence in a criminal trial.
The author of the article has developed criteria for assessing the reliability of the expert’s opinion, studied the main approaches to the concept of reliability in the theory of criminal procedure. The object of the conducted research is public relations related to the assessment of the expert’s opinion for its reliability. The purpose of the study is to analyze approaches
to the concept of reliability in criminal proceedings, as well as to develop criteria for the reliability of an expert’s opinion. Of the methods used in the study, a dialectical method based on the knowledge of social and legal reality should be singled out separately. The following general scientific methods were used: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction. Among the private scientific ones: sociological (when conducting a survey), mathematical (when processing data obtained from the results of the survey), systemic (when studying the place and role of reliability in the system of elements of evidence assessment), as well as the axiological method of scientific research.
